[Fifteen years ago, there died iu Chambors burg, a well-read and brilliant lawyer while yet in the vigor of his manhood, and the undlmmed brightness of his genius. Added to his learning as a lawyer and his cloquencefat the bar, were the graces of literary culture and the gift of po etry. Some of his fugitive pieces have been go ing the rounds of the papers for years, but more recently at longer intervals, and ns the memory of Robert M. Bard is still fresh and green In the hearts of his own townsmen, frequent Inquiry is made after a little poem of his, The Mendicant, first published in a literary periodical and pos sessed of rare merits and great beauty. 'Chan cing to see It a few days since, and believing its re-publlcation would give pleasure to many of our readers, we print it hero:— Repository.] True, lam old; but ’tls not years alone Have thinned and whitened thus those lodes that do But mock my temples with a covering. Grief hastens ago; her wand can wave with Time’s; The wrinkles she Inscribes upon the brow Are deep as his; and deeper on the heart Her foot prints. Years may bow the body down, But, Sorrow! thine the power to bend the soul, And who like "Want can teach humility? Amotion’s hand has pressed me to the earth, And lean and withered Poverty has thrown Around me, os you see, her tattered mantle; Whilst my old days behold me here—a beggar! As houseless os the deer upon the tiills That knows not where to seek a shelter when The snow storm loads the bent and groaning air,— Asking from door to door precarious bread, The crumbs that fall from Plenty’s burthoned table. The world Is full of men, but none have I For fellow; of some other race, motbinks, I am—the last remaining of my kind. Amid the crowd I move as by myself: Like some lone bird transported from its place, And freed beneath some sky it never saw, ’Mong birds of every song except its own. There is not one on earth that knows me; none To look with kindness on mo as I pass, Save now and then some gentle ones—and they, Only because their pity, is a tribute, They give to every wretched thing that lives. All that have ever loved me have departed; They who would In mine age have ministered; To me, are not. A little group of graves Grown thickly o’er with grass and mountain flowers, And yearly dressed by their old father’s hand, Js all that God hath left mo of-my children. My Mary sleeps beside them—happy that She stayed not long enough on earth to know How like a desert this green earth may bo, Without one living thing o’er all its breadth The heart may cling to, or that clings to us. Of all my house I only have been left , A wretch so leagued with want and misery That I have nought to do but suffer on, In silence through my earthly pilgrimage, All hopeless that my lot shall e’er be mended. But soon my steps must end; some day, perhaps, I’ll lay mo down a-weary by the way side, My arm beneath my head, and no one near, And die:—some passing traveler, perchance, Will find the beggar’s corse; and strangers’ pence, Collected from this neighborhood, will hire Some other wretch to give It biirial. |p«jeiwoi£u AN ANCIENT GAME RECALLED. Although the game of ball dates hack to very remote times, it is but recently that it has received, in this country at least, special attention and been raised to the dignity of a science. Of late years, however, all kinds of athletic games cal culated to aid the physical system by a healthy muscular development, have re ceived an impulse that cannot but be highly beneficial to the Americans as a nation. The taunts which have heen flung at us for so long—that we were fast degenerating into an effeminate people— had in them somewhat of truth. All vigorous exercises, practiced with tem perance and judgment, such as boating and ball-playing, go far toward creating a fine physical condition, which in time acts healthfully upon the moral and mental life. Not until Greece and other old na tions suffered the Olympic games to lan guish, and sank into habits of effeminacy, did they cease to be great among nations. Until quite recently, it has been suppos ed that in the old field sports of “ Merrie England” was to be found the origin of the games of ball most iu vogue iu this country —such as cricket and base ball for the males, and of croquet for the gentler sex. It has been left however, to an Eng lishman (Dr. Anthony L. Fisher, an ex perienced and observant traveler) to bring into prominence, in a book just issued, the fact to Italy must be given the palm of originating though on a much more extensive scale than is practiced at pres ent—the game of cricket and base ball.— This game, which was practiced in Italy more than a thousand years ago, was call ed Fallon or “ Great Ball,” and could only be played well after as much mus cular training as would have made the followers of the late Dr. Wlnship fairly die with envy, and cast the feats of the gallant “ first nines” at the late base ball torrnaments far into the shade. Nor, as Dr. Fisher clearly demonstrates, has this •extraordinary game been exaggerated by looking back upon it through the dim vista of the past. Ag, erroneous estimate, it is said, has been obtained in relation to the strength and atheletic frames of the knights of old—since the limbs of the present generation are much too large for their armor. But this is not the case with the Pallone. On the.contiary, itls found that the most skillful and best developed ball-player of the present day, out of Italy, is utterly unable to use the ma chinery of the Pallone to advantage. This machinery consists of a ball five inches in diameter, filled with compressed air, and weighing three-quarters of a pound, and a broad ring or bacelet of wood weighing four pounds, to protect the arm during the play. This heavy ball is—incredible as it appears—sentjfrom one player to an other over a space - 6f three hundred feet; not with a bat, but solely by the force or the arm. “ I have seen,” says Dr. Fish er, “a ball struck with such force by this wrist-guard as to crush the timber as completely as could have been done by the wheels of a wagon. So excessive is the exertion required for the game that every player carries, as part of his costume, a napkin for wiping away the streams of perspiration produced, and a company al ways consists of two complete sets of play ers, so that each may enjoy and interval of repose. This new-revelation concern ing the people of Italy, who for so long time have been regarded as a race of pig mies—a miserable, weekly setof lazzaroni —will strike many with amazement. Cer tainly, it can no longer be imagined that American; or even England, has a mon opoly of manly sports. Indeed, if one half that is related hy Dr. Fisher of the prowess of the Pallone players be true: a succeeding generation may well exclaim “Behold, there were giants in those days 1” —Journal of Commerce. Egj- " Don’t lay in that posture, dear,” said Mrs. Partington to Ike, who was stretched, upon a sofa, with his heels a foot or two higher than his head. Don’t lay so, raise yourseif and put this pillow under you. I knew a young man once who had a suggestion of the brain in con sequence of laying so —his brains ail run down his head !” and with this admoni tion she left him to his nap in the little back sitting room. • jjgy When is a sailor most like a thief?

The BeTolntlonnry Conspiracy ortho Rndl> cals Exposed--Equality of the Staten-Dan-, Iters of a Consolidated Oovernment—3llll lary Jurisdiction versus Trial by Jury. On being Introduced, the distinguished stranger received an ovation sucii as has seldom been tendered to any man. The boisterous cheers of the crowd lasted for lull ten minutes. When order had been somewhat restored, the speaker said; Fellow-citizens When I' received the invitation of your committee to be E resent with you to-day, I was impelled y an almost irresistible impulse to ac cept it. I had enjoyed the hospitality of your beautiful city; I had sat side by side in Congress with your faithful and able representatives for many years, and in dark and perilous times, with Jones, and McKentick, and Ancona; I had known most agreeably your worthy can didate for Governor, and these agreeable associations I desired once more to re new ; but far more did I desire to see the Democrats of Berks County, those Dem ocrats whose renown isos extensive as the Union, those Democrats who have been enabled throughout a storm of oblo quy, contumely and reproach unparal leled in political warfare to adhere with unfaltering fidelity and unblenehing courage to a party whose principles, they believed, would secure life to the govern ment and liberty to the people.' I had attended a thousand Democratic meetings in the West: I knew the tone and tem per and spirit of the party there. I wish ed to know it as well here. I love the Democratic party; I admire its discipline and organization; I honor the name and fame of its founders; I re vere its principles so broad in their ap plication, so beneficial in their influence, that in all this broad land —dissevered as the States have been, as they still are— there is not a State, nor county, nor town ship, nor town, nor neighborhood, nor family, nor house in which it has not a representative and member. I knew I would find here disciples of the same faith, believers in tbe same creed; and I desired with you to worship at a common altar, that I might catch the inspiration of your enkindled zeal. And so I accept ed the invitation, and so I came to-day, though to do so I was obliged to leave some true New England Democrats in Boston last night. I am glad I have come. This meeting shows that your zeal and vigor and courage ore unimpair ed, and fills me with renewed hope for the future. It shows that whoever else may fail, Berks County will do her duty to the country. In my own State, in my own city, we have several Republican newspapers that delight to tell us that the Democratic par ty is dead. We try to convince them to the contrary; we hold our conventions, make our nominations, conduct our cam paigns ; poll 200,000 votes, scare them al ways, beat them sometimes, and yet, each day more positively than the day before, they tell us that the Democratic party is dead, and the disease of which it died. — They would know instinctively if they were Democrats; they will learn, if they live long enough, that it can never abso lutely die so long as tho government shall last, that in this country it will maintain its vigor so long as the States shall have free governments, and the Union shall be a confederation ; for in the States it is the party of the people against power; in the Union it is the party of confederation agajnst consolidation. It has always been so; In the discussions which preceded the Convention to form the Constitution, in that Convention itself, in Conventions in the several States, two different and opposing theories were advocated by able and patriotic men. The one insisted that the new government should be strong and centralized; the other maintained that the general offices of government should be performed by the States, and ns little duty and power as possible should be confided to the Federal Union. In the Convention there were extreme views and extreme men on both sides. The extreme men gave up the work. Hamil ton left the Convention; Luther Martin refused to sign the Constitution. The extreme views were turned down by the prudence and moderation of Washington, Franklin, and Madison, and the Consti tution was the result—that Constitution which has given us for seventy years prosperity and liberty—that Constitution which, by its origin at the hands of these men which I have named, by its benefi cent Influences, became sacred to all American citizens, until the fanatics of our day dragged it from its high place and degraded it in the mire of their par tizan schemes. The opposing forces were gathering strength during tho administration of -Washington, but they were held in check by the power which he possessed. They met in fierce collision in the term of Mr. Adams. The Democratic sentiment could not be neutral in that struggle. It was, indeed, the chief combatant. It emerg ed victorious in the election of Mr. Jeffer son, and brought with it a compact, vig orous, disciplined organization to support its policy and opinions. Our Democratic party is that party, and it insists to-day, as it Insisted then —insists to-day more strongly even, because the crisis demands imperatively their assertion, that these fundamental maxims of political science are applicable to our government at all times, in every emergency and never more applicable than to-day in. this crisis of our history; that that government is best which governs the least; that that confederation is best which leaves tho greatest possible amount of power with the constituent States and confides the least possible power to the Federal head ; that all just government derives its pow er from the consent of the governed; that taxation without representation is tyranny; that all the States in the Union are equal, not in territory, nor popular tion, nor wealth, but in duties, in rights; in powers granted and powers reserved; and that therefore Massachusetts and Pennsylvania have no more constitution al power or moral right to govern Geor gia and Mississippi, than have Georgia and Mississippi to govern Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. (Great and long-con tinued cheering.) Yet this is the claim that is made to-day. It is no less than this; it touches the very foundation and organization of the government; it goes to its essence and spirit. What is tho great question—l do not say principle—of to-day? It is, shall the Southern States be represented in Con gress. Around this question is grouped every other'question which the war has raised,.and by the principle on which it is decided will every other question be determined. The President says they are entitled to representation, that they have resumed their normal and harmoni ous relations to the Union. The Demo cratic party supports the same position. The Republican party, speaking by its leaders in Congress, says that although those States are at peace with the Union they shall not be represented until they buy the enjoyment of that right by con senting to amendments to the Constitu tion, which the Southern people loathe from the bottom of their hearts and will never yield to except by coercion. This is the question submitted to the people for decision, and upon their decision de pend peace and order and the perpetua tion of the government. If these States are not entiUed to representation in Con gress, they are not entitled to vote in the electoral colleges. If they are not per mitted to vote in 1808, and their votes combined with that of either party In the North would elect a President, will that party submit to the decision ?—will it consent that the will of the whole coun try should be defeated by a known and acknowledged minority? If it will not submit, will there not bo disorder, tur bulence, probably war? Why should not these States be repre sented? Pennsylvania and Ohio are rep resented—why not Virginia? Ohio rec ognizes the supremacy of the Federal - government within the Constitution—so does Virginia. Ohio obeys the Federal law—so doagfeVlrginia. There is not an armed enißSSy in all the Confederate States, There is not a show of opposition to Federal authority, not even so much as a shadow when it deciineth. The Con federate goverumentis dissolved ; the or dinances of secession have been abroga ted; the old constitutions have been set aside, new ones are established: the did State governments have been displaced, new ones are In their stead. The States are performing all the functions necessa ry to the maintenance of civil society.— They preserve order, punish crime, pro tect life and property, collect debts, en force contracts, regulate the relation of husband anu wife, father and child, guar dian and ward; they regulate the descent and distribution of real and personal es tate ; they _ charter cities and colleges ; they exercise the right of eminent do main, build railroads, and establish com mon schools. Why should they not be represented ? Ohio pays several taxes; so does Virginia. A tax gatherer rides ev ery county, a custom-house officer is at every port. Virginiatookuparms agai nat the Federal government. Alas 1 she did —seduced by the advice of fanatics at the South, goaded by the acts of no less wick ed fanatics at the North, she took up arms to resist the execution of Federal law ; but when you sounded the tocsin of war, and called upon the people to maintain their government, you told them that so soon as Federal law was obeyed the war should cease, and It should leave the States with their powers unimpaired. Ohio is a free State—so Is Virginia. Ohio protects negroes in every civil right; so does Virginia; but —but what, my friend? Out with it. Virginia does not permit negroes to vote. Neither does Ohio, nor Indiana, nor Illinois, nor lowa, nor Mich igan, nor Wisconsin, nor Pennsylvania, nor Delaware, nor New Jersey, nor New York, nor Connecticut, nor New Ham shire, nor California, nor Oregon, and if this is the reason .for excluding Virginia, why are not those other States excluded? It is a fundamental maxim that the States in the Union areequal. They each as soverign came into the Union; they delegated the same powers, agreed to per form the same duties, guaranteed each to theothertheenjoymentofthesame rights. Representation is the most important right. Ohio enjoys it. Why shall not Virginia? The Southern Statesareeither in the Union or out of it. If in the Union, they are equal with Ohio, and entitled to representation ; if out of the Union, the the claim to govern them at all is a fraud and a usurpation. They entered the Union by passing an ordinance adopting and ratifying the Constitution; they tried to dissolve that connection by abrogating that ratification. The abrogating ordi nance was the act of session. Either it was valid or invalid. If invalid it was null, it had no effect, it did not affect the State nor the tie which bound it to the Union —it left the State in the same po sition in which it had been fora month or a year before the act of secession. If it was valid, it destroyed the Union and re moved tile State beyond the Constitution. I reject the claim that these ordinances are valid for one purpose, invalid for an other —valid to destroy the State, not valid to dissolve the Federal tie: itisthe fanciful creation of a disordered brain, or the ar bitrary assertion of a man who will have tilings as he wishes them. I understand the position of Mr. Stevens and those who follow him. He believes that either the ordinance of secession or the attempt to enforce it by arms constituted the South in effect a foreign power, that we had good cause of war against them, and did, in fact, wage a war for subjugation and con quest; that, having subjugated and con quered them, we hold them subject to our will; that so far as they are concerned tneir rights and our powers are determined by the laws of nations alone, and no ques tion of the Constitution can be raised ex cept by the adhering States. I under stand the position of Mr. Johnson and the War Democrats. They hold that the ordinances of secession were invalid, that whoever attempted by force of arms to make them available were traitors, and that their unlawful acts do not affect the status of the State or its law-abiding peo ple ; that they may be punished, but that the State remains the same. But I can not understand the thimble-rig logic of these half way gentlemen, that the ordi nances of secession are half valid, half in valid ; that the States are in the Union to be governed, out of the Union to be pro tected ;, in the Union when duties are re quired, ami out of the Union when rights are to be regarded; in the Union when taxes are exacted, out of it when repre sentation is demanded. This representation is essential to the restoration of the Union. Why was the 1 war prosecuted? For the maintaiuance of the Union. Mr. Lincoln, in his inau gural address, and in all his messages, ; asserted it. Congress in the most solemn ' form asserted it. Mr. Seward, when the war had progressed two years, said that the empty seats of the Senators and Rep resentatives with silent eloquence iraplor ed their former occupants to return to the Un ion. Love the U nion was the sentiment which lay at the very hearts of our people. It had grown and strengthened and be come fixed by the attempts at disunion of the Hartford Convention and the nullifi cation of South Carolina. It was this which made the North spend so freely its treasure and its blood. It was this which made the North produce armed men as if from its soil. It was this which induced men to volunteer, and matron, and maid en, and wife to consent that husband, and son, and lover should volunteer. The war has been successful. The armed op position has been effectually suppressed. Why do those who have urged on this light for the restoration of the Union now labor to prevent its restoration ? Gentle men, it is because they deceived you and their friends. They never were for the Union. Thaddeus Stevens was honest enough to sayso- He saidin myhearing, that whith his consent the Union never should be restored. These men hate the Constitution of the United States; they hate our form of government, and know that the most effective stab they could give it, the most fatal blow would be the attempt to govern one-half the country I without representation. I apeak of men whom I know, men with whom I have served in public life. I do not impeach their intelligence, or their patriotism, or sincerity; but I repeat, X believe they hate our Constitution and desire its over throw. They believe consolidation is better than confederation. They prefer to trust their liberties and the liberty of the race to an overpowering, irresponsible majority, rather than to the orderly pro cess established under the checks and balances of our system.

If the States are entitled to representption, the adoption of this amendment ought not to be exacted; if they are not entitled, its adoption will not confer it. If they are en titled, the refusal of the right is the high wayman’s course, who seizes you by the throat, and agrees to release his hold if you will give him your purse. -In vain you assert that you are entitled both, to your freedom and your money. You buy one admitted right by the surrender of another. If they are entitled, the propo sal to confer the right is the device of the devil, who eagerly offered the kingdoms of the earth and the glory thereof, which he did not possess, if only his black ma jesty could bo worshipped. The speaker explained the substance of the proposed amendment, arguing that it coliicted with the spirit of the Constitu tion, Inasmuch ns it proposed that,oil persons born in the United States should be citizens of the several States, when the Constitution left to the States the right of declaring citizenship. The only object of the amendment was to show to the States that they hold even the right of suffrage by the will and at the command of the Federal government, and thus to bring their most vital rights entirely within the control of the government.—' He then took up the subject of the Freed men’s Bureau Bill. He said that its ob ject was not to protect the negro. That was done by the old law; if that expired too soon, a line might extend it; but the object of the bill was explained by the eighth and ninth sections, which provide that to every case affecting a negro the President shall extend military Jurisdic tion and protection, and that if a State officer shall enforce any law, custom, or police regulation discriminating between a negro and a white man in. the enjoy ment of civil rights, he may be tried and punished by an officer of the bureau —all cases, civil or criminal, whether between two negroes or between a negro and a white man. “ Military jurisdiction and protection I” What is that ? Martial law and a drum-head court martial. The Constitution provides that no man, negro or white man, shall be arrested wlthouta warrant, held without an indictment, or tried without a jury; he shall have a speedy and public trial, having counsel and witness, and being confronted with witness against him. Yet this law pro poses to do away with all these safeguards, and substitute the processes of military courts, where there is no indictment, Ju ry or counsel for the prisoner, except by the grace and favor of the courts. The speaker contended that such a law was intended to bring every citizen of the United States, and of every State of the Unio* to, the foot of the Federal military authority, as administered by the most ignorant and degraded servant of the bu reau, who may be hired for $5OO a year. He then took up the question of the Civil Bights Bill, which provides that oil citizens shall be entitled to the same civ- il rights, and bo punished for offenses with the same measure of penalty. Sup pose in any State the negro, by reason of his inferior intellect, is punished less se verely than the white man. Can Con gress by this law increase the punish ment? Can Congress increase the pen alty ? If it can in the case of the negro, so can it also in the case of the white man. And if it can increase, so can it also diminish. If it can increase or dl diminish, it can create a new and a diff erent punishment, or it can abolish all punishment, and thus may establish in the State, and without its consent, an en tire criminal code, and thus bring ail the citizens within the control of the Federal power. And this was the main object of the bill. And so with the Educational Bureau Bill, the Insurance Bureau Bill, and the Eailroad Law—all have, under various guises and pretenses, the single purpose of breaking down State authori ty, and transferring all the affairs of com mon life to the supervision of the Feder al government. Thus, on the ruins of our system of confederation, will be built astrong centralized government, in whose splendor and power the liberties of the citizen, now so well protected, will be swallowed up. In conclusion, the speaker said that last night, while traveling through the several States on his way from Boston, ho could not help remembering their for mer history. Massachusetts, so jealous of Federal power that she, first of all the States, asked for an amendment to the Constitution declaring that all powers not expressly granted were reserved, lest there should be an undue activity in the administration; Bhode Island, that would not enter the Union for a year af ter Washington’s inauguration, lest the powers of the Federal government might be used to the injury of her commercial and shipping Interests; New York, that expressly declared her opinion of the right of secession. But what a contrast now ? How strangely and constantly do those States now insist on the process of centralization. Pennsylvania alone promptly ratified the Constitution. By her fidelity to the common weal, by her wisdom, as well as by her geographical position, she had justly acquired the title of the Keystone State.' Your State has enjoyed a rare felicity. Your plains and valleys are teeming with business. Your mountains are swollen with iron and coal and other minerals. Your citties groan beneath the load of accumulated capital. You need peace, or der stability of government for their de velopment. Your people are industrious and prosperous. They need repose, con tentment, that they may attend to their own business. Your State was the birth ilace of the Declaration. Your soil is honored by Brandywine, and German town, and Valley Forge, sanctified -by the heroism exhibited in defeat and suf fering, and your principal city was the place chosen for the adoption of the Con stitution, and for its early administration. You have Carpenter’s Hall and Indepen dence Hall. Men of Pennsylvania, I conjure you to be faithful to your glorious histoty, and to deserve more glory by res cuing free government from the perils which surround it to-day, than your fa thers achieved by their Imortal efforts in laying its foundation.
