CHASED BY THE ALABAMA.
"Thou cbmekit irk such
.a question
able shape " "
Without ;getting into Fall the par
timilars of • the Various Movements
attendant upon a -vessel's getting un
der way, I will briefly say , that on
certain day in April last, the , swift
sailing bark "Benjamin' -Franklin",
satiledfrom the, port of Havana, with
Assorted cargo. In the foreible
language of : Jack. Cavein, her com
mander,.she was a 'screamer,;" and,
if • all the .stories he, told is-to her
.
warvellmis spread were .correct_, she.
wasr a-wonderful craft.indpol. The:
gloricus - .o,ll)light - of r ithat.beauteoua,
clime danced and sparkled on' the rip
pling waters as she passed from out
the shadow of: •the aririr forts :and •
gentlY leaning over to. the breeze ;
bounded •"like a thing of;life" mitin
to•the' open sea. . .
On, until the land- fades play and '
indistinct behind, and waving trees,
flowery shrubs' and broad savannahs
die aWay in one long line of blue;.
and
the Water changes from 'deep,deep
blue into pale azure, and the evening,
wind brings on a cooler atmosphere,`
still sweet and balmy and not yet
forgetful of the groves of perfumed
fruits and flowers among Which it bad
sported so recently: The small flock,
of western cloudS. change from gold .
to fire, ' Et Aoger
,and , yet closer the
sun seems to - stoop to: kiss the west
ern' wave. So onward bravely-goes
the ship.
Jack Cavein filled the.capacious
bowl of his cherry-wood pipe with
choice tobacco, and having duly ig
nited-the "weed," sat down upon the
quarter-deck on hospitable thoughts
intend, turning over-in his mind,that
is, bow to while away the settled air
of melancholy • which was impressed
upon the countenance . ' of his only
passenger, Harry Dornfore, of New
York, - who ever since the port of He
zana had been left behind, bad 'been.
loaning over the vessel's quarter gaz
ing lugubriously on the land until
had quite disappeared' from VieW.
"Smoke, sir r said Jack. ,
"Not just now, I'm obliged to you,
Cali - Cain," replied his guest.
Jack relapsed into silence, and then
again commented. •
"Ifthis breeze hold," said he "we'll
have an all-fired tall run home of it..
This bark can travel you'd better be
lieve. She's a . downright sereather,
and no mistake."
.The idea_, of ',rapid progress
from thee - Cnban shores did. not seem
by any means to increase the young
gentleman's amiability, but he an
swered, civilly enough :
"Yes, Captain,unless we should.
happen to run foul of the Alabama.,
or "
"There, now, stranger," said lack
rising from his seat with . a look of
horror and •affright, 'don't say an
other word about that 'ere goldarn
ed ship: The pesky thinr , ain't any-
Where hereabouts,- by all accounts
and if were,:Lgusss the,"Benjie"
could show her a clean pair of heels,
if this breeze held on."
And he Walkn forward, smoking
like a liinekiln. In fact, the Alabama
was the perfect terror of Jack's life.
Night and day, on land and shore,
she still haunted hitni Not that our
WOrthy 'Captain Wae a coward.. He
Would dare all Vie horrors of storm
and tempest with a brave stout heart,
and Cheek unhienehed4' but he had a
holy horror Of all "darned piratical
Vessels;" as he called them, 'and ., the
remark Of liarry Dornford was'quite
sufficient to unsettle Jack's Mind for
the whole '
While the Captain and passengers
are in this unsociable mood, I rimy as:
Well say that Dornfordhad been re
sidingatTravana during the . last six
Months and had become dseply en
amored of:a: beautiful young Cuban
lady, whose heart' had not been proof

however, who
Was one of the proud hidalgos of the
place; was , not so easily overcome by
good looks and gentlemanly: bea,ring,-
and had strenuously opposed-the suit
ofthe handsome foreigner going; so
far at last as to forbid him her house;
and thus all the interviews which had
Of late taken' place between the lov
ing pair, liadb - een stolen and brief
ones. Each had pledged the other,
hod ever,•undyirig fidelity; and they
had parted in tears only a-few hours
before the ''sailing of the '"bonny
bark" whose fortunes we'propose: to
follow. , A - Sew days before that on
W hieh .; the Benjamin 'Franklin had
sailed froth the Pert of Hayana, it
Chanced that another vessel' of the
same tonnage yclept the "Western
Wave," sailed trOrri'the port of Vera

cOnimanded by one Chas. CroSetrees,

To return to the" Benjamin Frank
lin." however, theJfirat night passed
away quietly enough, and with, , :the;
early daylight Dorpford was on, deck
and smoking, his first cigar by the
wheel, wafebing'the red and gold,and
violet-tinted Clouds in the east melt
away into'a , sia of glory, as the
resistless monarch ofthe day soared

The ruddy countenance of the poor
skipper turned toa,qort.oldull lead
en hue, as with 'a trembling land_he
seized hiS glass and';:toelt along,

At length with a deep sigh he lOwerr ,

'That 'ere ship,' said Cavein, shitk
ing his fist at the supposed pirate—
'Sat 'ere ship is the plague of my
life, and of every skipper in the gulf;
why don't the President sent out a
proclaniation after her, and, abolish
her, or something of that.kinct ?' . and
again he raised his glass to his\ eye.'
'Yes,' said he, can count:the guns

Foi , two hours did the chase con
tinue, and the 'pirate,' if anything,
rather gained on them,, though,. to
the great delight of Jack, she did not
bring her steam power into, use, and
he came to the conclusion that she
was either out of coals, or her engines
had Ip.oken down, and if he could
carry on until nightfall, he should be
able in the daikriess to..give her the
slip.
The wind. had shifted ! round eon

is to behold. , ,
'Haul taut that, weather cieW gar

you want to be coupled two and two,
and sent to blazes on board that darn

Still in spite of all his efforts, the'
stranger neared thein' until her for
iniciable broadside became clearly
visible to the naked eye. The per
spiration bubbled out of the Captains
forehead, and. streamed down his,
cheeks as,. in company with • Dorn
ford, he watched the movements of
the other vessel, whose intention was
now clearly tii,'dverhaul them. Pres

desirous to 'speak.'

ad expression half comic;°half shame,
which. he endeavored to hide by dash
ing briskly among his men and be
stowing upon them a torrent of that
choite language for which merchant
captains are celebrated the world o
ver. And Dornford leaned over the
vessel's side, envying the crew of the
other vessel down to the meanest
.deck-hand, who would in so fewhours
be breathing the same; air and view
ing the same scenes ,as 'lsabel the

the waves as they beat in measured
cadence against the vessel's side
seemed to speak her name—lsabel,

the vessels were about to part ; 'l've

cannot do without !' •
Finding Dernford replved, the ar
rangement was stun carried .into ef
fece, and :the young,. gentleman and
his baggage transferrednn board the
Western ; Wave. Bidding adieu to
the jovial old skipper he was soon on
his way, and in a few hours the Ben
jamin Franklin faded in the horizon's
misty blue. Dornford had .an oppor
tilnity of inspecting- the' formidable
arinarrient which had given Cavein
such a fright, 'and a hearty laugh,,
was had at the poor. Captain's ex
pense.
By noon the following day,- they
were Safely anchored in the harbor of
IlaVana ; and before long you may
be sure our hero found an opportuni
ty of coMmunicating. with, Isabel,
who as you may . imagine was over
joyed to see him back once more.
By the advice of some friends,
Dornford commenced business in Ha
vana, and fortune has smiled,propi
tiously.on the, young merchant. By
the last mail, I heard that the father .
of Isabel, who, after all, is not a bad
hearted old fellow, finding that. his
daughter's happiness was bound up
in her lovefor Dornford, had given
hiS consent". to their union, which I
expect .by -this time has' been consum
mated. •And we will all wish, them
long life ,and ha y piness, and hope and
pray, that the love of their young
hearts - linty live undimmed :through
all the Corroding cares of earth, until ,
transplanted to a realm where all, is
love —hoping, in fact, that-neither of
them may at any. time regret the day
when. Dornford was 'Chased by the

CHARGES AGAINST THE

We charge that the following are
the fruits of thatqpyalty", which the
Republican , party claims ;to represent,
and the result of not, quite, three
years; aaministration of the G,eve,rn
meat by them : .
1. We ebarge, them with having
dissolved the. Union of States.
L We charge them' with having
inaugurated a bloody, desselating and
ruinous civil war.
3. With having sacrificed on their
unholy altar of Abolitionism more
than three hundred thousand men,
and sent , them prematurely to their
graves, .
4. Suffering, mourning, death and
desolation carried into - families in

tcilshow for it.
c More than sixthousand millions
of dollars worth of property already
cl,estroyed by means of the war, and
yet the prospect of restoring the Uni
on far darker than when thewar com
menced
8. The annual expense of the gov
ernment already increased from -a
bout eighty millions 'to about two
billions ; and the burden is still more
rapidly increasing.
1. A grinding, endless burden 'of
direct taxation to support the Feder
al governmdnt.
10. Millions of dollars expended
to feed, - Clothe, support and educate'
the negro slaves and >to purchase
theirlreedoia ; and, - a proposition for
an expenditure for thepurchtiseofne
gro slaves sufficient to bankrupt•the
Federal, "Government for fifty or a
hundred years to come,
11. Fraud upon the treasury and
swindling in government'contracts to
an extent unheard of in any other age
or, country ; and to east loose from all

prominent offender. Simon Cameron,

the operation of the law forthe pan-, 1
ishment of frauds upon the treasury
actually suspended 'hy, an act of Con
cress.
12— The constitutional currency
of,the country virtually suppressed,
rags, shinplasters, pasteboards and
postage stamps, substituted ; and an
uncertain variable standard of value
created which must inevitably even
tuate in widespread disaiiter and ruin
to the great industrial interests of the
people.
18. The abolition of negro slavery
in the District of Columbia, wholly
unnecessary, and to say the least ofit,
a palpable breach of good faith, sim
ply to appease the rapacity of North
ern fanaticism, at the expense of driv
ing off hundreds of thousands of Uni
on men in the . slavo States into the
Southern army.
14. Unceasing negro slavery agi
tation, the confiscation and emancipa
tion measures at the late session of
Congress, and the proclamation of
emancipation, by. the. Generals in the
field and by the President of the
United States, confirming the predic
tions of the Seuthern dis-unionists as
to the supremacy and rapacity of
Northern Abolitionists, and by these
means crushing the Union men of the
slave States and thereby pioducing
unanimity in the South in the causes
of the rebellion.
16. The pioseeutioxi of the war,
not in that redeeming . spirit and con
ciliatory disposition required by the
nature of the - Federal compact—but
with menaces of subjugation and
ex
termination, besides aiding and facili
tating the escape of fugitive slaves
and encouraging survile insurrec
tion, •
16. The attempted emancipation
of between three and four millions
slaves, of loyal Union m i en, as well as
those of the rebels, by the simple e
dict of the President.
17. The attempt to turn loose
?cords of negro slaves upon thi3 free
States, to compete with the white la
borer, and to wrangle for social and
political equality with the' white
race. •
]8: Thousands of good and loyal
citizens arrested without legal war

and confined in political. bastiles,
without the opportunity of a trial,
and_ even without being permitted to
know the name of the accuser, or
what charge; if any, has been prefer.
red against thank.
.19. Loyal and patriotic citizens
who are readfand willing to sacrifice
all they hold most dear to maintain
the Constitution as it is, and to the
restoration of the Union as it was,
denbunced as traitors and disloyal
persons by a political party whose
motto is a "Union without slavery or
no Union at all."
20. Tito freedom and_ sovereignty
of the States grossly encroached up.
on, and their total subversion boldly
threatened.
21.. The. freedom of
. speech and
the freedom of the press, two of the
essential bulwarks of civil liberty, in
estimable to free men arid formidable
to tyrants only,. trampled down and
crushed to earth.
