TIIE STRANGER ON THE SILL. Br TIIOHAB.BLCHANAN READE. Between broad fields of wheat and corn Is tho lowly homo where I was born ; The peach tree leans against the wall, And the woodbine wanders over all ; There is the shaded doorwry still,] But a stranger's foot has crossed the sill. T here is the barn—and, as of yore, I can smell the hay from the open door, And see the busy swallow's throng, And hoar the pewce's mournful song ; But the stranger comes—oh ! painful proof— His shsaresare piled to the heated roof. There is the-orchard—the very trees Where my childhood knew long hours of case, And watched the shadowy moments run Till my'life imbibed moro shade than sun ; The swing from the bow still sweeps the air, But the strangers' children are swinging there- There bubbles tho shady spring below, With its bulrush brook where the hazels grow ; 'Twas there I found the calamus root, * And watched the minnows poise and shoot, And heard the robin lave its wing, But the stranger's bucket is at the spring. 0 ye, who daily cross the sill, Step lightly fori love it still ; And when yc crowd the old barn-eaves, Then think what countless harvest sheaves Have passed within that seented door To gladden eyes that are no more ! Deal kindly with these orchard trees ; And when your children crowd their knees Their sweetest fruit they shall impart, As if old memorios stirred their heart; To youthful sport still leave the swing, And in sweet reverence hold the spring. The barn, the trees, the brook, tho birds, Tho meadows, with their lowing herds, Tho woodbine in the cottage wall— My heart still lingers with them all. Yo strangers on my native sill, Stop lightly, for I love it still JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING. BY WILLIAM CL'LLEN BRYANT. Ob, deem not they arc best alone Whose lives a peaceful tenor keep, For God, who pities men, hath shown A blessing for the eyes that weep. The light of smiles shall till again The lids that overflow with tears ; And weary hours of woe and pain Are promises of happier years. There is a day of sunny rest For every dark and troubled night, And grief may hide an evening guest, But joy shall come with every light- Nor let the good man's trust depart, Though life its common gifts deny ; Though with a pierced and broken heart, And spurned of men he goes to die. For God hath marked each sorrowing day Anil numbered every secret tear, And heaven's long age of bliss shall pay For all his children suffer here. SPEtCII OF THAIJDEI S STEVENS. Delivered at the great Union Mass Meet ing in Lancaster, ou the 27 th ult. I come not to make a speech, but for the want of one. When I left Washiugton I was somewhat worn down by labor and dis ease, and I was directed by my physician neither to think to speaK nor to read until the next session of Congress, or I should not regain my strength. I have followed the first injunction most religiously for I believe I have not let an idea pass through my mind to trouble me since Congress ad joined. The secdnd one, not to speak, I was seduced from keeping by some noble friends in the mountain district of Pennsyl vania. and L made a speech at Bedford, the only one I have made. The third one, not to read. I have followed almost literally. It is true, I have amused myself with a little light frivolous reading, I have taken up the dailies and publications of'that kind* and read things which would make no impress ion upou the mind. For instance, there was a serial account from day to day of a very remarkable circus that traveled through the country [laughter] from Washington to Chicago, and St. Louts and Louisville back to Washington. [Renewed laughter.) I read that with interest expecting to see in so celebrated an establishment —one which from its heraldiug, was to beat Dan Rice and all the old circuses that ever went forth. 1 expected great wit from the celebrated char acter of its clowns. [Great laughter. J They were well provided with clowns ; instead of one there were two, as the circus was to have a large circulation One of these clowns was high in office and somewhat ad vanced in age ; the other was a little less advanced in office but older in years. They ,-tarted out with a very respectable stock with them, for instance a celebrated general, they took with theiu an eminent naval offi cer, and they chainedhim to the rigging so that he could uot get away, though he tried to do to once or twice. They announced the most respectable stock company that ever went forthwith a manager or circus, though they had not a very good man for the spring boards, but they took him with them for a short distance a very good man accustomed to ground and lofty tumbling, called Mont gomery Blair. [Laughter.] And as they wanted to get up side shows, as is always precedent where anything is to be made out of these concerns, they switched him off in various directions with a hand organ and a monkey. In the East they called his mon key Senator Doolittle, because lie looked so much like one. Up through the mountain region where 1 encountered them Montgom ery Blair was there, and his monkey and organ was called Judge Kimmell. [Laugh ter. | But the circus went on all the time, giving performances at different points, sometimes one clown performing and sometimes the other. So far as I was able to judge, the younger clown was the most vigorous, and bad the most energy and maligniuty. The elder clown, owing to the wear and tear of age and suffering—you know he had his arm broken aud his jaw broken, and his neck broken almost —[laughter] inducing a ne cessity for certain opiates, which had very much worn down his vigor—l looked upon his performance as rather silly ; for instance the younger clown told them in the language of the ancient heroes who trod the stage, that he had it in his power if he chose to be, Dictator. The elder clown pointed to A LOCAL AND GENERAL ; NKWSPAPKR, DEVOTED TO POLITICS. EDUCATION, LITERATURE AND MORALs! the other one, and said to the people, "Will you have hitn for President, or will you take him for king !"—[Laughter.] He left you but one alternative. You are obliged to take him for one or the other, either for President or king, if "My Policy" prevails. lam not following them all around. I shall not describe to you how sometimes they cut outside the circle and entered into street broils with common blackguards ; how they fought at C'leavelend and Indianapolis and other points. I shall not tell you ; for is it not all written down in Colonel Forney's Chronicle f [Laughter and cheers. ] Put coming round they told you, or one of them did, that he had been everything but one. Ho had been a tailor, I think ne did not say drunken tailor ; no he had been a tailor [laughter]: he had been a constable I laugh ter] ;he had been in the Legislature ! God help that Legislature ! [Great merriment. ] Ho had been in Congress now he was Pres ident, Ho had beeu everything but one— he had never been a hangman, and he asked the leave to hang Thad Stevens. [Laugh ter.J Now I have given you badinage enough. As I stated that I would not make a speech, I will state one point of some substance. The great question between the President and Congress is not how we shall reccon- the States but who shall have the pow er ? That is the great question for this na tion to determine, and upon your decision i depends the security or the despotism of this Government. When the Southern States went out of the Union through rebellion, and all the ties that bound them to the Union were consumed in the hot fires of the wa r , they became conquered provinces under our armies. By the law of nations the sover ign power of this nation was to fix their fate, M ho is that sovereign power? [Cries of "Congress," "Congress."] If that power is the President, then he is right and may go on reconstructing the State in his own way. But if Congress has the sov ereign power then the issue is in our favor. As I said, the sovereignty of the nation must fix the status of the new States and of conquered nations. By the Constitution of the United States, in a single sentence, the first paragraph of the first article in the Constitution says that all legislative power shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives. There is the whole legislative power of the nation. You cannot find a word in the Constitution which gives to any other branch of the gov ernment one particle of legislative power. How, then, is it that the soveign power rests in the President ? In this country there is but one depository of sovereign power, of the sovereignty of the nation. It rests in the people, and no-whereclse ; and the peo ple speak through Congress to all their ser vants. Therefore, it is you, the sovereigns of the nations, who are reconstructing these States. In no other branch of the Govern ment can you find a particle of sovereignty. The President cannot even erect a bureau; he cannot do a legisiative act. He is the servant of the people as they order through Congress. Now, then, Congress is the soy- through them ; and Andrew Johnson must leant that he is your servantjchoerßjand that as Congress shall order he must obey. [Cheers, j That is the whole question. The question of how our States shall be recon structed is another one to which I shall not now refer. 1 shall only apologize for hav ing detained yoa. Mr. Stevens here retired, but the calls for Lis reappearance were so prolouged that he again came forward, and, and, amid loud cheering, said : I suppose you never fought chickens in your young days. [Laughter. 1 If you had you know there was a breed that they called the "Wheelers." They would fight awhile and then go back, and then turn and fight again. I must be a Whe< I suppose. |Cheers and laughter.] And since you have called me out, and 1 am able to speak, I will explain one single point, which 1 have been informed, my friend Mr. Doolittlemade par ticularly upon me, and which, I have no doubt, some of my Republican friends con sidered particularly well made to put me be low the ticket. I cannot blame them in this. I shall not blame them for anything of the kind, but 1 shall be just as good friends with them as before. But let me explain lie spoke of negro equality. Let mo tell you exactly how it is. lie, I understand, found fault with me, par ticularly because 1 advocated what he called negro equality. Under our law thure is not a word said in either the civil-rights bill or the new proposed amendment about color. It simply provides that the same law which punishes one man shall punish any other for the same offence; it simply provides that the law which gives a verdict to one pan shall render the same verdict to another, whether he is Dutch, Irish or negro. [Cheers.] Is there anything wroDg in that? [Voices, "No!"] That is the doctrine of negro equality. There is nothing which prohibits the negro from learning to read aud write and say his prayers. There is nothing iu it which says lie shall have any thing superior to another. 1 admit that these Copperheads have cause to complain that there is such a provision, for there is great danger that those who find fault with this provision will find rivals among the colored lace iu busi ness and in life. There is one thing, how ever, which I noticed Mr. Doolittle alluded to —a bill which I introduced for fixing the condition of the Southern States —and since I am here I wiil say one word in explanation of that. I introduced a bill into Congress for the purpose of enabling the rebel States, under certain conditions, to form loyal gov ernments. They have no governments now except some counterfeits put up by Andy Johnsen. ["Three cheers for Thad. Ste vens."J I proposed in that bill that every one of those conquered States should be put upou the same looting with a Territory; should elect delegates to a convention to form a re publican constitution,]not such gsthey have got now, with slavery in them), and in fixing the right of voters to elect those delegates! made it universal—l allowed the rebels, I allowed the black men, allowed every man to vote lor delegates to the convention. When they canie to form the constitution they should form it to suit themselves (not doing as Andy Johnson did, dictating what the terms of the constitution should be), and when they formed it, they should be al lowed to refer it back to the people for rati fication ; and if ratified they might present it to Congress. Now, I did hope, in doing this, that our loyal friends, together with the loyal colored men, would carry the conven tions and give negro suffrage. Every loyal Southern man came to me and asked me to put it in the bill. There was not a loyal man, from Governor Hamilton to Governor llolden, Chief Justice Powell and Governor Sherwood —there were twenty of these men driven from their homes —who dare not go back for fear of being murdered. They came to help me to fabricate the bill. It was not the rebels that did it; it was the BEDFORD. Pa.. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 17. 1860 loyal men that said give us that bill; arid the vote of the loyal white men, added to that of the loyal black men, can carry every State but Virginia. I was in a caucus one night, when Governor Hamilton told us "to give them that law ; and although we are now in the minority, and I dare not go home, for I should be murdered—give us that bill, and we can carry Texas on the side of the Union by twenty-five thousand majority." Governor Holden told me the same thing, ana so did everybody except the Virgin ians. * The noble men who went to Philadelphia after the traitors, convention, passed reso lutions asking that this very thing should be done by Congress, a copy of which they sent to me to strengthen ray hands. This is confined to the rebel States alone. lam for it; first, because it is right; second, be cause it protects our brethren there; third ly, because it prevents the States from go ing into the hands of the rebels, and thereby giving the President and the Congress, for the next forty years, to rebel hands. lam for it, and I shall go for it, when Congress meets, with all my might. Now, however, remember that Ido not say, and never mean to, that when these amendments which I now propose are adop ted, the rebel States shall be allowed to come in, until they present constitutions containing the essence of liberty; and when they do that, I will let them in at any time. With regard to the question of negro suf frage in the free States, every one knows that I am not afraid to express my opinion. Everybody has a right to vote and pay his taxes,, and whoever is governed by the laws has a right to make them. I in the Pennsylvania convention that amended the Constitution which put in the world while and disfranchised a large number of voters. I voted against it, and while every other man put his name to the constitution that it might go down to posterity, I refused my name and it is not among the signers, for I was proud of the instrument and am not not now. This question may be thought a little in advance of the age. What is this world but a world of progress? and what is the statesman worth who is afraid to fight in the front ranks? The liberty of the world is not yet effected. Half the world is yet in chains, half the world is yet under kingly government. We must go ahead, and though 1 can do but little, I shall do what lean, and if, when I am dead, there sprouts any vigor from my bones and my grave to help forward pos terity to proclaim the as doctrines of universal liberty and universal suf frage, and universal disenthralment from kings, I shall be satisfied. 1 he Goddess of Liberty is represented in ancient statues as a very nice little goddess but very small. I want her to grow—to put on the habiliments of mature age—until she can embrace within her folds every na- I tion, and every tribe, and every human be ing within God's canopy. [Loudcheers.] I care not what you say of negro equality; I care not what you say of Radicalism: these are my principles, and with the help of God L shall die with them, I ask no epitaph, I jionq, but I shell go with a pure whole human race, aim iicvhr naving injured a human being. DOMESTIC SEWS. A movement is on foot to establish a public library in Calais, Maine. THE cranberry crop at Harwich will only be an average one, but it will take a thou sand people to gather it. GEORGE Francis Train is announced as the independent Fenian candidate for Con gress, in Nebraska. Paddock is the demo cratic nominee, andTaffe the republican. THE managers of a Philadelphia theatre have sued the editor of a Sunday paper in that city for libel. THE Ohio floods enabled gentleman of a quiet turn of mind, in Columbus, to fish out of their upper story windows. A race horse having been recently killed in South Carolina by lightning, the owner said there was some consolation in knowing that nothing but a streak of lightning ever caught him. A fragment, eight feet long and eleven inches in its largest diameter, of an ivory tusk originally about eleven feet long, be longing to an animal of some extinct race, was dug up in Milford, Clermont County, Ohio, one day last week. ON the upper Sacramento river in Cali fornia, a little steamer, with its cabin fitted up as a store, sails up and down, stopping at all the farms, selling merchandise, and taking chickens, eggs, etc., in exchange for her coffee, sugar and calico. LIEUTENANT Isaac H. Fol.ger has been appointed Collector of Customs at Nan tucket, in place of Hon. Alfred Macy, re moved. Lieutenaut Fol.ger belonged to the 58th Mass. regiment, and lost a leg at the battle of Coal Harbor, June 3d, 1864. He roprefcnted Nantucket in the legislature last winter. THE Chicago papers announce that the half interest of Trussell, the gambler, re cently killed by his mistress in that city, in the fast trottiug horse Dexter, has been sold by the administrator of the estate to Trussell's partner for SIO,OOO cash. Dexter was purchased by them only a few months ago for $14,000. THE rebel admiral. Raphael Scmmes, has become the editor of the Mobile Gazette His assistant is Pendleton Colston, judge advocate of the rebel navy during the war. The paper will of course support President Johnsons's policy. ASTRONOMERS predict a partial eclipse of the sun on Monday, Oct. 8 Only one eighteenth of the solar disc will appear ob scured in Boston, and the eclipse will begin at 11 o.clock and last about one hour. At St. John's, N. F., about three-tenths will he obscured, and to the southwest of New England the eclipse will not he visible. AT Pittsburg the President received a small box, addressed to "His Excellency Andrew Johnson," and brought by some mysterious channel. It was at once surmis ed that the box contained a torpedo or in fernal machine of some kind, and the great est care was taken in opening it, but nothing was found but the body o?a dead duck. It is easy to see the meaning of the joker who sent it. A WRITER in the Atlantic Monthly proves by statistics that a man's longevity is in gx act proportion to his educational attain ments, provided his health has not been in jured by overmental exertion. It seems that increasing intelligence and decreasing war have prolonged the average length of life in Europe from twenty-five years in the seventeenth century to thirty-five in the eighteenth, and to forty-five in the nine teenth. The best educated communities are the longest lived. PENNSYLVANIA. Ihe Votes iu alt the Gubernatorial Contests Since 1790.
