MY lIKUOI.NK ATKVE STORY.
bythb Aurnon or “joiis Halifax, oentlk-
MAN.”
I knew a lltllo mald-ns aweet
As any seven years' child ynu’U meet
In mansion'grand nr village street.
However charming they may bo
She’ll never know of this my verso
When I her simple tale rehearse—
A cottage girl made baby nurse
Unlo another baby.
Till then how ronstant she at school!
Her tiny hand* ot work how full I
And nQyer cureless, never dull.
As little scholars may be.
IlernhHenre questioned; with cheek-red
And gentle lining of the head,
*• Ma’am, I could not he spared," she said
“ I have to mind my pahy."
Her hahy— oft along the la'ne
She'd carry It with such sweet pain
On summer holidays—full fain
To let both work ami play ho.
Hut. ns the school hour t«<M to start,
She’d turn with sad. divided heart-.
—'Twist acholar'A wish and mother’s part.
I cannot leave my baby J'
One day at school came rumors dire—
" Lizzie had fallen m the firej”
And elfin hnsio T went, to Inquire,
With anxious fear o’orflowlng:
For yesler afternoon n» prayer
My lillle Lizzies face did wear
The iorU»—how comes It whence or where?
Of children who are— {iawg\
And almost, as Ifhou-d for flight
'lo say row prayi rs in angel’s Bight,
Poor Lizzie lay—so wan and white,
So sadly Idle seeming:
Her active hand*how helpless hound.
Her wild eye.s wandering vaguely round.
As up boo started at each sound,
Or slept, and moaned In dreaming.
Her mother gave the piteous tale;
“ How that child's courage did not fa:l,
Or else poor baby*’—she stopped pale,
And shed tears without number;
Then told how at the llrcsldo warm,
Lizzie, with baby on her arm, i
Slipped, threw him irmn her, safe from harm,
Then fell—hero in her slumber.
Lizzie shreaked “Take him J” and nptnused
Per po r burnt hands, and seemed half lost
Cntll a smile lief icntul-es crossed
As sweet as angel s may he.
“ Yes, ma'am,"—she said in feeble tone,
‘ * I'm ill I know,”—she hushed a moan—
*• Hut”-hut here a look a queen might own—
“ Hut, ma'am. I saved my tmhy t”

Delivered lit ilie llmi-e of Represent

Slnreli 17. 1860.
Mr. Cornmaii having the floor on the
Democratic t-lde * f the Jlousej arose In
his place nml spoke as follows :
Mr, Speaker, I trust the day la n°t far
(ItHlant when this question shall he for
ever nettled, ami the poor negrohe allow
ed to till In qoh-tncss aid peace the
sphere designed for him hy an “allwlsc
(Yeator.” Tlie question <»f neirro equali
ty. amalgamation and inisceL'enalion hu«
agita'ed the mind-* of our Hllz nn, more
or Iphh. for the past elcht years.
Years nun a small cloud arose in the
“ land ot nutmegs” and “ wooden hams."
True, It ohacined hut a small poition of
this country In dari |ie-s. Then he who
dared acknowledge himsei' an abolition
ist, ami in favor of negro equality, was
denounce*! hy every lover of this once
proud country as a iralmr to his country,
a renecade.from hls-God, and a hater ot
his fellow-mam Hut a great change ha-*
come over the feellmrs of a certain class
of imr people, who represent the Radical
party of to day, and only advocate the
political and S'-cial equality of him whom
God has made the Inferior, for the so e
object of continuance in power.
J>t ns stop here and ♦ xamlne the ‘dif
ferences between Hit* races of mankind,
as shown hy history and science. The
nejrro having h»*en slave from the ear
liest history of man. and tinder no dr
cum-lance has ever been aide to elevate
himself. Comparison shows us conclu
sively hint he Is different In every par
ticular from the race w‘»!ch lm® always
filled the first place In the history of na
tions. .
History tenches ns flint the neem of
centuries ago. Is still the negro of to-dny.
In the creation; God commanded that
each crentnre. fiee ami ptanl should re
produce its kind, ami no power under
the hroad canopy of Heaven can alter
that decree. For ju«t as soon ns yon
amalgamate the different races mrfl
spocies. yon destroy the vitality, which
Got! gave i», Look hack over Ihe past,
siml you wilt find nronfenough to estab
lish the tact that, just as soon as the dif
ferent races of men are united inn new
ami distinct race, inferior to the oilgi
, nnt, is produced, ami jpst ns sure as yon
' HitiHlffHiiiHie the while and negro, yon
produce the weak and sickly mulatto.
Inferior to both ihe.orluiinda. The dif
ference between the nevro and the while
man Is as distinct In every part, as It Is
het wecirtlie eagle and the owl. the mule

conscquentlv t he infeiior canno* In any
respect equal Ihe superior. Ami >et,slr,
just, as soon as you confer Ihe elective
'franchise upon the negro, yon attempt to
thwart the purposes for which he was
designed l»v tils creator; for truelt is that
ihe political equality of the cili7.cn of the
United Stales make each the peer of the
o' her, and consequently pi *ce9 us all In o
podthm hPeach sot-hilly thecqual'of the
other, and as a cmiwqu nee sociality
causes an Intermingling, followed hy Ihe
imialgamallon of the two distinct races.
We are willing, sir to allow every man
Ihe privilege of exercising his own judg
ment, as turns his personal mutters are
concerned, and doing as he pleases, pro
vided he tines so lohhnselt and injures no
one else- But we are opposed to any
man, or any body of men, doing wlmt
they know mid what we know Will re
sult in wrong to their tellow men.
When we were elected to represent the
people of P* nnsylvania. on the floor of
lids House, the quest lon of negro suffrage
was not declared to he an Issue. But,
sir. It was dodged mid shirked by every
Radical paper ami politician in the State,
except u lew honest men like he who bo
ably represented the Radicals of Chester
county on this floor, lust winter. Then,
sir, lie nobly spoke in defence of his
principles, and laillnully --d\waited the
nieasuie proposed now. But, sir, you
know, us well us Ihe feet of us win* were
here, that lint thirteen voted with him.
Why, sir ? Slmpl> because the test were
ulratd to meet the issue fair and square
In the luce, us he presented it then. It
was a political necessity to vole it down,
so that it might not come heloie the peo
ple lust lull in the political contest. The
radicals know full well that if the ques
tion, ami I say iheonly one really al issue,
hud-been presented to tlie people you
would si e many seats in this House fill
ed by others than those who now occupy
them. Then, sir. it was u necessity in
view of the iipprouchlng election, How
it is u necessity so Uiul the power of tlie
Radicals may he continued. They be
lieving, uud declaring taut unless the uc-
CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1869
pro U permitted to vote. On* Radical par
ty must follow hi the wake of all Its de
generate predecessors. I tru-t, therefore,
the question now pending may meet u
fluid Issue here, and at this time. For.
sir, Just as sure ns that (Jml is a hove ,us
tile Radical parly must go down til-
ler oblivion, for no party In any nation
Ims lived outside ot its own (rue intents
and purposes, mid when once convicted
the aliases tinder which it has lived ntid
been known will only.add the greater
punishment for Us crimes and misde
meanors. We to meet the Is-
sue face to face as ’lie representatives of
a party Vhiuti has always acknowledged
its true prineiples, and never been afraid
to advocate the in crests of the common
country, whether the advocacy of them
was popular or not. Ami «ir?* t when aim
goes down it will Ik* with her true colors
ll> lug, ami her beacon light bright, ami
ho it is to-day. We sail under the origi
nal flayol Democracy mid have only he n
defeated and home down hy u party
which, like the private vessel skulking
in duikness, f aring. (o show her true
colors until sure of success she hoists (lie
hlack flag and cries “no quarter.” Ye«,
sir, we no et y< u, knowing our celise to
he just, and we, will appeal loan Intelli
gent people, and km wing that “truth
crushed to eunh will rbe again," await
tile isuue. We claim the credit and his-
lory accords It to us, of building and sus
taining this government, and sir, we
will not stand idly by ami see t ie labor
of years wasted.

It faat Eylati that Murat appears In hi*
most ternlde'aspect. This battle, fought
In nildmlnter, in 1807, was the most Im
portant and bloody one that had then oc
curred. France and Russia had never lie
fore opposed such strength to each other,
and a complete victory on either side
would ImVe settled the fate of Europe.—
Bonupatte remained in pos-eslon of the
Held, and that, was all; no victory was
ever so like u defeat. .
Tiie field of Eylau was covered with
snow, and the little pools llint scattered
over It were froze sufficiently hard to bear
the artillery. Seventy one thousand men
on one side, and elghty-flve thousand on
the other arose from the fr* zen Held on
which they had slept this night of Febru
ary, without tent or covering to battle
for a continent. Advancing through a
storm so thick he could not see the ene
my, the Russian cannon mowing down
his ranks with their destructive lire, while
the Cossock cavalry, which were ordered
to charge, came thundering on, almost
hitting the French infantry witli their
long lances before they wore visible
through- ti e storm.
lieiiiiiud In and overthrown, the whole
division, composed of IH,OUO men, witli
the exception of 1,500. were captured or
slain. Just then thesnow-storm clearing
up, revealed to Napoleon the peril to
which he was brought, and he immedi
ately ordered a grand charge hy the Im
perial Guard and the whole cavalry.— '
Nothing was further from Napoleon's
wishes or expectations titan the bringing
ot ids reserve into the engagement at (Ids
early stage of the battle, but there was no
other resource left him.
Murat sustaineii ids high reputation on
this occasion; and proved himself, for the
hundredth time, worthy of the gieat con
fidence Napoleon placed in him. Noth
ing could he more imposing than the bat
tie-field at this moment. Bonuimne und
the empire tremhled hilhehuiun.ee, while
Murat prepared td lea I down Ids cavalry
to save them Seventy squadrons, milk
ing in all 11,000 well-mpunled men, be
gan to move ove r the slope, with the Old
Guard marching tcernly- behind.
Bonaparte, it is said, was more agitated
at thin crisis limn when, u few moments
before he was so near being capture ! hy
the Kussiaiis. But as he aaw those sev
entv squadrons come down on a plough
ing trot, press! g hard after (he White
plume of Murat, Mint streamed In (lie
snowstorm Carlo front, u smile passe 1
over Idscounteiianue. The earth groaned
aod trembled us they passed, and the sa
llies above the dark angry mass below
looked like the foam of a sea wave as it
eienls on the deep. The rattdngol their
armor and the muffled thunderof their
tread drowned all the roar of I atlle, as
with set array, and whh swiff, steady
motion, toey bore down with terrible
Irmit on the foe.
The shock of f’nt host was like a fall
ing mountain, anil the front line of the
Russian Army went down like Irosl be
fore It- Then commenced a protracted
light of band to h ind and sword lusword,
as in the cavalry action al KcUinu). The
clashing of steel was like ihe ringing of
counilgfs hummers, and horses and riders
were blended in wild confusion together.
The Russian reserve v\ as ordered up, and
on these Murat fell with,hi-* tierce horse
men, crushing and trampling (hem down

It was during this strange ftglit that
Murat was seen to perlorta one of those
desperate deeds for which lie was so re
nowned. Excited to tlie i tghest pilch of
pa-sioii hy the obstacles th <t opposed
him, he seemed endowed with tenfold
sueiigfli, and looked more like a H"pur

mortals, limn an ordinary man. Amid

lie raged like an unloosed I’on amid Him

The goal was a shaded hollow—n deep,

In 1853, Lieut. Brooke obtained 'mud

or two miles, by the help of his sounding
aparatus. The specimens were Bent for

to Bully, of West Point, and those aide

mud was almost entirely com posed of

Lieut. Brooke’s method of sounding tie
(piired a high commercial value when
the enterprise of laying down the tele

it became a matter of immense impor

cable was to lie laid, hut the exact nature
of the bottom, so a-* toguard against vhan
