(From Dwight’* Journal of ltn*lc.l THE FOOTS rBPS OF SONG. ny JULIA WARD HOWE.. , | Wo ore permitted to print the following Poem, written by request for the dosing Bummcr Oou cert of tho New England Conservatory of M isle, and read by the antbor, at the Bos ton Music Hall, on Monday jsvenlng, July 6, 18G8.] ' If yon will call me,.come with mo. I’ll lead yon faraway Flrom the lUhfts of onr Mublc Hall, the aspects of to-day. . We’ll close: this glittering door of lifo, and indark memory scan The childhood of tbe art we praise, the infancy of man. Not vain should be this retrospect; tho faith fond ■ natures have * ■ follows beloved footsteps from tho cradle to the grave; And he who won with manhood's grief the bless ings we enjoy, Onr hearts delight to think of him a little baby boy. Art hnilded him a nureery in many a palace fair. His mother in the Pitii proud doth tend her off spring rare; And they, whose wonder {rifts nor Prince nor Prelate thinks to scorn. Lift o’er the altar and the throne the babe in manger bom. I have no pencil, heaven-imbued, to paint a theme so great, Nor asks our Goddess to be throned in such trans cendent state, Bo I with humble instrument may praise her varied power' Who fills the marble palaces, who thrills the leafy bower. “When Music, heavenly maid, waß young.” Sure , that was long ago. But wnssbe ever young or old, like humankind, I trow ? The world, that out of chaos came, from.xhild hood grows to ago: Serenely with the stars she sits, and tupis the teeming page. She was hot scon, she was .hot heard,’ till man, with piteous sbritt Of need and insufficiency, received her golden gift. The state was wrought with bars of sohg, the temple and the throne; Tho virtues first of measure came, that measure was her own. Her myßtic meaning breathed itself in poor and rustic toys, j The_.lyrc its simple twanging made, the.pipes ' their feeble nolso, Jllis Satyr of the mountain cave, the Dryads of the grove Her help did make Intelligent. She taught the speech of love. Grfef rang his own sharp sentence out, and. Boothed himself to rest; , The dignity of utterance made even sorrov? blest;’ Man withers not in speechless pain, ungifted like the brute, But pleads his own Indignant cause, ’gainst Na ture dread and mute. ©ld legends keep the name of one so duteous and so deep, That rocks and trees obeyed his call, and felt his master.sweep. Fair fable of surpassing powers we lisp in force and'fate, Thus, waiting Music’s magic spell, we rest inani mate. I eee the stately theatres unfold their marble round, Upon the rocks of Caucasus the Titan struggles bound. Uncomforted of sea or sky, he falters not for pain, Bat keeps the purpose that outlasts the adaman tine chant. The bird that by the seat of Jove doth plume his haughty wing, Te'ds of the life he cannot waste, the hero suffer ing. The God, who never felt a pang his magic could not cure, Ib conquered by the mortal’s power, the will that can endure. The gracious 'classic histories present their lfcesons fair, False Fhxdra fevers fci a heart that spurns her guilty prayer, Orestes with his dark mates sits, and Jason’B crafty wife Contrives the poisoned wedding gifts that steal her rival’s life. Beneath the cloudless heaven of Greeco, how fair that sunlit stage, The poet’s shining characters upon a sapphire page.! Like stars, that on God’s highway move by mys tical control, Those glowing forms of passion mark the orbit of the soul. Close nestling in the orchestra, the flutes and citherns vie With the unlolding argument, the act accom pany ; The chorus rings its rhythms out. where sense with pathoß blends, And when the need growß imminent, the God himself descends. Another hand doth beckon me; beßide his father's sheep As tripling tnnes his rustic harp,his tuneful watch doth keep. No skill of sword or shield has he, but fiery min strelsy Lends him the spirit wings that win the heights of victory. The psalm that glorifies the age, divinely deep and true, Ho dreamed from that horizon vast, whose starry state he knew; A champion blest, a monarch crowned, the later world doth own The conquest ofl the song that could Saul's bosom fiend dethrone. * Oh! many a weary pilgrimage that falls on human-kind Grows joyous by that master faith, that music monldcd mind. By Jordan's river low we eit, and distant loves recall, • And Jordan grows a linc>ol light, and God de livers all. From these fair cradles ol our race, whose infant need and cry Found answer in the mother voice, the loving lullaby, To sterner manhood we must pass, a shriller chal lenge bear, Where on the seven crested hills Home lifts her fronteevere. Hiustriouß twins the she-wolf nursed, great births of power and law, On Tiber's short she Btood at bay; and held the world in awe; While from those gates where Justice dwelt, and Reason held her rule. A hand oi civic glories marched to keep mankind at school. For them resounds the lituan tube, the trumpet of command. The shield upon the fearless breast, the spear in sinewy hand; Nor "wanted they the softer tones that soothe the bitter etrile. When Virgil saDg the end of Troy, and Horace, love and lile: **X builded me a monument, more permanent than brass, A pyramid above the height of rwal seats that rpass; The biting rain, shall mar it not, the wind with , powerless spite Shall turn lils fury otherwhere, and cure his van quished might. "The eerie s of the years, the flight of time 1 shall not fear, • " ” Of whom not every thing shall pass the fnneral . - limits drear. Hy pralse EhnU grow in regions far, in days as Jong to come, _ An priest and flileut virgin climb the master shrine of Rome.” Again I bid you’ pause; and look, where, In a , chamber dim,' V;; ' Tho Master breaks tbo bread of dole, .and. sings the partinghymn. • “Remember mo.”. Wo hear him still, and keep’, with answering breath, . . ~ Tho record of his tenderness, in living and in ' death. Far ns the Roman catacombs, deep winding in tho earth, Tho echo of that music breathes, low stifled at its birth; .' “Et resurrexil ,” they exclaim, whose hidden doc trine waits To weave tho web of circumstance, and mould the form of States. The shrine of Jove is overthrown, hiß eagle leaves the sky Where burns a brighter messenger, alight that will not die. Brave rode the monarch at the front, but chief and ranks fell down Before the pledge of victory, tho cross above the crown. But conquest has its ebb and flow, its ptenn and its dirge, As fill and empty human hearts, as billows suck and surge. The glowing Empire of the East forsook its broken line, And scattered to tho trampling horde the pearls of Palestine. ’ For Nature, in rnde bosonm pent, maintains her lordly way, Against pale arts of luxury, and law’s despotic sway; And Jesu’s olives soothed no more the Christian’s earnest dream, Profaned and plundered,like the groves of Plato’s Academe. And after that consummate light, that Pentecostal flame, The darkness of the Gods removed on all tho -nations come; Frir Pan w&b dead, and Jesu risen, whose truth in infancy Rough nurso and bitter birthplace had compelled to fast and flee! Then .slowly man .to. jnan. appeared, as star to star on high, - And mode tains and morasscß teemed with dark humanity: While fiery Gaul and fruitful Bpain yet boro the Roman yoke, Lo 1 from his aim Druidic isle the distant Briton • - spoke. From. Bonth to North, from East to West, the .-waves grew never still That bore the circling sympathy of human good " and ill: The harmonies that gathered there no further silence knew, As starts a babe with pulse that thrills his whole existence through. Song came, and carried succor back. With mail upon their breasts, The grim Crusaders took their way, remote and dreaded guests. “Restore the sacred tomb of Christ,” demands their battle cry, ‘“Wc gladly yield our blood for him, who for our weal did die.” The valiant summons swelled and sank, for not with martial power Tho kingdom comes whose silent growth o’er takes the sleeping hour; The Bceptre briefly they retained, the crown doth still belong To those whose deeds ot bravery survive in Tasso’s song. Bnt music two-fold measure has, the plummet and the square, And all masonic mysteries her moulding impress weal-. Now rose the mighty minster up.as human hearts aspire, Its arches lifted to infold the soul’s prophetic fire. Of those grand days the voice and tune to us are Wholly lost, . We read their purpose in tho stone, fine sculp tured and embossed. In mass book and in ritual, in pageant old and quaint, In rainbows lighting solemn aisles, with virgin and with saint. But Faith grew feeble in her cage, and sickened, near to die, While ventured uone to ope the door, and let the captive fly, Till one clear voice from cloister broke, from mass and vespers fair, “A fortress is our God,” it sang, “in freedom let us dare. “The form is but the picture of the truth within the heart. The bonds of custom give ns not the miracles of art; Trust we tne inner thought, in doctrine and in rnyme, And build no prison to resist the prophecies of time,” 1 follow now a tailor’s song, a chorus rudely trolled Of courage for the new world sails, disdainfnl of the oldf j The master walks the narrow deck, and threads the bound leas sea, Seeking the outlet of the age, through pain and jeopaidy. Arid Muric in his sails went forth, who travels everywhere, To consecrate the virgin land with order and with prayer; Well pleased that new-found realm she trod, but veiled her brow for shame, And quenched her flaming utterance when dark Bizarre came. The Saxon sends his mission, too, a band of stem intent, With all life’s broad machinery for work and worship pent; Firm from the Mayflower’s deck doth rise at dawn and closing day, The strophe of the manhood that the Stuarts chased away. Not broadly did its measure run, the shrill and nasal psalm, Which yet in wounded spirits breathed deep peaco and patience calm; That music held them thrice resolved, and hung its silvery shield Between the savage warwhoop and the hearts that wonld not yield. Then Faith, the Orpheus of our day, walked through the untrodden wild, Order and form did follow fast, and hill and forest smiled. Rocks into gracious Bhapes were wrought, and lofty trees laid low. Till in green ways the thrifty Age did journey to and fro. Yet back to Enrope flits my song, to certain tie wigs grand, Crowned in immortal state beyond the monarch of the land. There Handel’s wit of weighty mould tho won drous legend dreamed, That lifts onr hearts at Christmas tide, from trash and toil redeemed,, And Haydn wrought “on mighty pens,” and earth, “with verdure clad,” In hi™ her blest interpreter, her tuneful teacher hod. And he who stands in metal here,* with heavenly care and haste. Filled high the costly cup of joy he gave and could not taste. Oh, friends 1 I meet you here to-day, in precincts loved of all, This is the home of our delight, our pleasant Music Hall. ’ Here rank on rank the signers rise,the well-tuned strings below With reeds and fiery brasses blend, to give-the goods wd know. And churches bristle through the land, and cham bers of debate, And halls where sleepy judges sit, and ministers of state; And banhs where golden treasure hide 6, while paper flies about, |No mutter bow it enters in, it never can get out. ; But this shall be onr temple, whene’r a harmless sacrifice THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PEILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JULY 23.1888.

Senion, just published in London by Longmans & Co., contain many anecdotes of the tenantry of Irish .estates : from the following it would appear .that the laborers are manageable 'enough, although, so ignorant ; constant oversight, with a little tact, results in profitable cultivation; it is the absentee who ruins his estates : When I began to reclaim .my mountain farm (said Mr. Trench, an extensive proprie tor and estate manager),l employed 100 men, at wages varying from Bd. to is. a day, the average being 10d., and the weekly expendi ture £25. After this had gone on for about three months, my clerk wrote to me in Tip perary, where I was staying on business, that the men had struck, and demanded., that the minimum paynfOnt should be Is. 2d. a day, and that the wages of the better men should be raised in proportion. ' We'werein a criti cal period of the work, and my clerk thought the matter serious. In my ahswer I said to him, “I am ready to accede to the men’s demands. I am wil ling to give a minimum price of- Is. 2d., and a maximum price of 3s. a day. Of coarse, at that rate of wages, I cannot continue my present expenditure. You will reduce it to £l2 10s a week. You will, select the best men, beginning by the highest wages. In this matter you will follow out, not your own opinion, but my instructions,' and you will read this letter to the men." The men assembled next day to hear my answer. It was'read to them, and highly approved of. My clerk then said: “Now, boys, I must choose my men,” and he began by selecting a dozen of the best “ And what wages must you have ?” he asked. » “Oh,” they said, “we’ll take the top price— the 3s.’” “Very well,” he answered; “18s. a week for twelve men makes A'B Bs. a week; there is only £4 2s. left of the £l2 10s., and at that rate I can only have four more; then there will remain 10s. for one other. I can there fore take seventeen of you; the remaining eighty-three may go.” This did not suit the eighty-three. They began to talk together in knots, to abuse the greediness of those who had demanded 35., to threaten to break their heads —first, if they took more than is. od., then if they took more than their minimum of Ib. 2i., and, at last, finding that, even at that price, more than half of them would be thrown out of employ, they broke up their combination, and returned to work at the old prices. “The mas ter,” they said, “is too many for us.” From that time I had no difficulty with these men; and though I have once or twice afterwards been assailed by combinations,they have never given me any trouble. They are always unjust to some classes of the men, and fmay always be dissolved by turning against them the influence of the oppressed class. Bcauty of ft Chinese Empress, The Gazette des Tribuneaux contains an announcement of the Bad misfortune which has befallen Captain J. Louis Negroni in being condemned to a month’B imprisonment and a.fine of 5,000 francß on a charge of swindling. In addition to the natural sym pathies we entertain towards a brave soldier struggling with adversity and vainly striving to recover the gloss of his tarnished half-pay regimentals, we mourn for one who has very strong claims to the rank of literary fellow ship. It will be remembered that Captain Negroni brought over to Europe a collection of Chinese jewels, porcelain and curiosities, taken by him, with admirable coolness, from the Summer Palace of the Emperor. Lon don was favored with a sight of them as well as Paris, and that none who saw might doubt the authenticity of these valuable piece? Captain Negroni turned accountant andpenj man, almost poet. He rated his gorgeous col lection as high as GO.OOO.OOOf.; he wrote an account of the romantic adventure which placed the most precious object of the col lection at his disposal; and he desoribed his interview with the favorite Empress of the Brother of the Moon at midnight, when "thp moon, pure as a pearl, rolled in the sapphire heavens,” and the “idolatrous princess gazed on it with visible emotion; it was to her mind the abode of souls and protecting spirits.? Her beauty was perfect. The captain,troubled by the aspect of such majestic beauty, be lieved that he looked on a celestial being, ap angeL “She was clad in the imperial yellow satin, embroidered with gold.” Bat of her attire and her coiffnre we cannot trust our selves to speak. It sent Captain Negroni crazy, and might have the same effect r upon us: “A forest of black hair with voluptuous reflections, and scarcely confined.” Well may be exclaim: “What a charming prisoner!” The beantifnl Empress seems,accordmg.to' the; captain's version, to have penetrated pis na ture with marvellous intuition, for she gave’ him at parting, in gratitude tor her preserva tion from an infuriated soldiery, a valuable casket, besides the opportunity of saying that he had kissed her. “Her royal lips printed on my own,” &c. The casket was entirely composed of precious stones, priceless in value. Captain Negroni obtained large ad- vances on the strength of this-estimable col lection.. It seems.to havei been'] proved that the aggregation of precionastonesj together with the Empress’s cahketLand her incompar rable kiesjiyere as meie pWchpejck in compa rison with-t|ie amount advanced, so the un fortunate ;captain, whs condemned as air..- “escrdc.” ' \ -- La I-anterne, No- (f. M. Kochefort seems determined to seo how far he can go,in saying.bitter things of,the au thorities in his Lanterhe before they pounce down, upon him- > He takes notice that the Orleans princes were invited to the Roval breakfast party at Buckingham Palace, and that ponsequeptly, the French Ambassador felt bound to stay away. “If I were at the head of the French Government,"he remarks, .‘‘l.should feel very little satisfaction in seeing my representative thus give place to a son of Louis Philippe. I should be afraid lest people took the fact for a prediction.; But, perhaps, it was that our ambassador did not find the Orleans sufficiently commc il failt to come in contact wit)i at a, party. Official balls in France are composed of such very distin guished people!’’ Remembering the. nervous terror with which the Imperial Government listens for the faintest whisper of the name of Orleans anywhere within ! its dominions —especially the 1 name of the Due d’Aumale—-the temerity of; JI. Rochefort’s allusions will be readily un derstood. Another sore point with the Na poieonists 1b their sudden' enrichment after; coming' into power. 1 Somebody having writ ten to SL Rochefort to'say. he was unfair in writing .as though the Ministers and grandees of,'the State had“ no money except ,whgt they got out of .the. country, he remarks .sarcasti-, cally that everybody .knows what a princely fortune M. de Persigny had before the 2d of December; how M. de Moray had more than he could count; .and how Mv WalevfSki found gold in bis. drawers like shells on the sea shore. There are even storie% he says, but perhaps a little exaggerated, of . these noble persons going by night taput money in the; national treasury,, and being always ready on any emergency to open their purees to relieve the necessities of the State. .Hence he has the most profound respect for men who haye i so lavishly spent their patrimony in the ser vice of France that if there remains to them each a poor five or six millions, that is all they have in the world.

It was refused on the ground that the passenger Wae too well dressed for a mechanic, ard be was compelled to pay the fare to save himself from being ejected from the train.

J After a struggle which lasted apparently for days, the Democratic Convention has agreed that United consols ought to be taxed, .and should be paid off in, paper, instead of gold; In other words they have for mally adopted partial repudiation as .their parly cry, and this after their adyetsarieß httd sis formally rejected it About 'the taxation, there may be, in some* minds, some conceiv able doubt True, the debt was before its ■<contraction exempted formally from liability to any taxes not imposed by Congress; true, also, that Congress has repeatedly, by ex ■ empted the bonds from income and property taxes, shown that it considers the pledge one which limits its own powers ; but stiS, we . admit that the exemption can hardly be de fended on abstract principle. State bonds are as in the absence of specific promises to the con trary, equally liable to a fair taxation, that is, a taxation levied on all property alike. .But the attempt to pay in paper instead of . gold is neither more nor lesß than confisca tion. The subscriptions were made in gold; the promise to pay is a promise in dollars given (before grefenbaqjKf Wdref lejiatf tender/ the Treasury hasfepe&tediy/ announced that it understands its own pledge to be payment in gold; the Customs’ duties are payable only in gold, in order to ‘meet the interest on the debt, and the interest has actually been so paid during years of paper currency. If ever •there 1 was a clear promise this is one; and the Democrats, without pleading the, insolvency of the Bt'ate,' intend to break it,' in order to re ® Gieve their constituents of a burden. They,in fact, reduce their debts one-third by a sheer act of force. Indeed we are not sure that the limit is one-third. It is part of their plan to pay off the debt in ■ currency, and the enor mous consequent increase in the circulation THE DAILY EVEHING THUiIgDATi. 23,1868, ' of paper will pitiably trikke-Chfeultitaatelos3 to the holders fifty or sixty percent. j Forfdnately fpr «the ! : creaif ipf the Filw; there ia liftwclrande that the-Democrats- will * for the present obtain the power to carry out j their own 1 policy, i: Apart from the very gen- I erai belief of Americans in the sanctity ot the ; Eighth" Commandment, the., Democrats la , accepting -repudiation’ have rejected Mr. Chase; and to run Mr. Seymour, even if ne ! will accept the nomination they-have offered j him, against General Grant is tolly.

Thefi'theref-areoiilany rtsflex cffiecWof the war which begin to be severely felt The million and a half Of s soldiers for four years consumed instead of saving. The Nation, in a .’striking though exaggerated article, ! shows tbai during the war the stock, of- cattle i in the Union has decreased 30 per cent, of I pigs 25 per cent, oCOiofSes 17 per cent, a ; total loss,when the natural increment is added to the account pf a third of the live stock of | the Union. The cat ton crop hassunkone- ; half. The slave crop is all gone. In every j department of trade save corn-growing the ; effects ;of the Protectionist policy be-' gin at’ last to be visible. We export 1 -nothing, say the papers, forgetting that I a nation which refuses imports,, i. c., ; customers’ money, naturally sells as little as a shopkeeper would who did the same thing. The shipping trade, opce so great, has been transferred to foreign shores. All prices have risen, partly from the tariff and partly from inflated currency, and partly frim the ot providing against incessant fluctuations in that currency till, in the West, men are ready to quote Punch’s bitter joke as a fact, and de clare that there is one .thing dearer than life, and that is living. The pressure is felt in ■every family not enriched by the -high prices now ruling for grain, in rentida, in prices,, in diminished business, 'in’increased difficulty in securing any “'surplus' to. Bave. - Upon a people - thus hard bested- the heavy direct taxes now levied &U- with a weight all the more cruelly-felt because.' the .small capitalists who lent the debt are exempted from all demands. Thcy»get their incomes to the hour; if they want money, , they send bonds to Europe; “the rich,"’ iB the cry,’ “{jay nothing, all falls upon-tbe poor;” and tb the bitterness of declining prosperity is added the bitterness of an imaginary injustice. The ■ poor man is paid for everything he supplies to the State in paper; .but the rich man, who only. sells money, is paid in gold. We do not, we confess, wonder that the Democratic leaders, aware of all this suffering, accus tomed to draw a distinction between private and public obligations, and pressed by the Southerners, who object “to pay for the birch- which -flogged them, " should hope to gain support by [the open adoption of an im moral policy, should believe that the prospect of “wfiitfling away taxation” would attract heaps of yotes. We have no doubt that it will, and we should entertain some fear, for the financial future of the Republic but for two reasons. One is that the adversity produced by the war will probably be overcome within the next Presidential term,' and much of the suf fering, therefore, will be gone before the Democrats have power to act. The other is tbat the people, taught by the pressure of prices, must see at last that they are paying taxes tb the manufacturers in the shape of protective du'ies. When a workman finds that his boots cost eight dollars a pair, and that he could import them from England for -four, he is sure to ask sooner or later what becomes of the balance. It was so with Englishmen's bread, and it will be so with Americans’ boots. The West, it is said, is already clear upon the point, and if in 1872 the country is ready for Free Trade, English finance will be possible, the debt will cease to be felt as a crushing burden, and the temptation to rob the public creditor rather than risk impoverishment will almost disap pear. It is within the next four years that the true danger will accrue, and it is well for the Union that General Grant’s popularity and the feeling created by the war alike pro tect the party which has had the moral courage to make, the Eighth Commandment a plank in its electoral piattenn.. Ibe Republican Platform. The National Republican Party of the United States, assembled in National Convention in the City of Chicago t on the 20 th day of May, 1868, male the following declaration of principles: 1. We congratulate the,country on the assured success of the Reconstruction policy of Congress, as evinced by the adoption in the majority of the States lately in rebellion, of Constitutions secur ing equal civil and political rights to all, and it isihe duty of the Government to sustain those constitutions, and to prevent the people of such States from‘being remitted to a state of an archy. 2. The guarantee by Congress of equal suffrage to all loyal.men jat the South was demanded by every cohsiatertfiioh of public safety, bfi grati tude and of .justice,.and> must bo maintained; while, the questionpf.suffrage in all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of those 1 States; : 3. We denouncoaU terms of ns a National crimes and the National honor requires the payment; Of Ihg Ippbhb iffiTebtedaesei; m the uttermost "good faith to all creditors at home and abroad, not only according to the letter but the spirit jof tthelawßiUndei; which it was contracted.’ •Jr It Is due to tho labor of the nation that taxation should be equalized and reduced as ropldlyrss the-National faith will .permit. 5. The National,debt contracted, as it has been, for the preservation of the Union for all time to come, should be. extended, oyer a fair .period for redemptfoii 1 , ami* it* is the-duty of Congress'to l reduce the rate of interest thereon, whenever it can be honestly .done.. 6. ,That the best pblicy to diminish our burden of-debt is to so -improve our credit .that capital ists will seek to ioan us monoy,at lower rates of interest than’wo' how-pay, ana must continue to payjsodong-as repudiation, partial or total; open or covert, Is threatened or suspected. 7. Tho government of the United States should „be administered with the strictest economy, and the ,eorraptions which- have -been : so shamefully nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for radical reform. 8. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession of Andrew Johnson to the Presidency,- who bus acUd trcacherously to the p.-op.o who elected him. and the cause he was pledged sup port; who lias usurped high legislative a judi cial functions; who has refused to execute tho laws; who has used his high office to induce other officers to ignore and violate the laws; who has employed his oxo- Cutivo powers to render insecure tho property, the peace, liberty, and life of the citi zen; who has abused the pardoning power; who has denounced the National Legislature as un constitutional; who has persistently and cor ruptly resisted, by every meaSure.in. hls power, eveiy proper attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in rebellion; who has perverted the public patronage into an engine of wholesale corruption, and who has been juStly impeached lor high crimes and misdemeanors, and properly pronounced guilty thereof by tho vote of 35 Senators. „ 9. The doctrine of Greatßritaln aha other Eu ropean powers, that because a man is once a sub ject be is always so, mußt be resisted at every ha zard by the United States, ,a’S a relic Pf tho feudal times, not authorized by the law of nations, and at wai with ournational honor and independence. Naturalized citizens are'entitled. to be, protected in all their rights hi eltlzenßhip’afi thmtgfi' they were native born, and no citizen of the United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to arrest and imprisonment by any foreign power for acts done or words spoken in this country;. and if fo arrested and imprisoned, it is tho duty of the Government to interfere jp his behalf. 10. Of all who were faithful In the trials of tho late war, there were none entitled to more espe cial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen who endured the hardships of campaign and cruise, and imperiled their fives in the service of the country;, the bounties nnd pensions provided by the laws for theeb brave defenders of the na-. tfott.fire obllgatlqlis never to; bo s forgotten; the, widowaand orphans of .the gallant dead are the wardß of the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation’sjprdtectlng eare.;. r 11. Foreign Immigration—which in tho past has added so much to the wealth, development and, resourceaand increase of powdr 'fo 1 this- nation.. the asylum of the oppressed of all nations—should be fostered and encouraged by aliberal and juaC policy. 12. This Conventiondedares itself in,sytupfithy with nil the dppreesed people’ which 'are' strag gling for their rights. 13. That'we highly commend’the spirit of mag-' naDimity and lorbearance with which the men. who have served in tho rebellion, bntnotvfrimkly and honestly co-operate wlthhs In- restoring the peace oi the country- and reconstructing-the Southern Btatc Governments upon, the basis of impartial juatice andfeqiial rights, aro received back intb the comihenion .of the loyal people; and we favor the removal of the disqualifications and restrictions,imposed upon the late Rebels in he samd measure os their spirit of loyalty- will direct; and as may be consistent with the safety of thqlqiaVpeqpfc. ’ _ 1-I.’’That we recognlzeTEe great principles laid down in the.immortal Declaration of Indepen dence as the true foundation of democratic gov ernment, arid we hail with gladness every effort toward making these principles a living reality on every inch of American soil. Phrenological Character of General Orunl. The following sketch of General Grant is copied from the Illustrated Annals Of Phre nology, issued by Samuel R. Wells, editor of the Phrenological Journal. It was written and, originally published in 18G6: Lieutenant • General Ulysses S. Grant is of moderate sta ture, say five feet eight, compactly built, and symmetrical There are po loose'timbers in his “make up,” nor,any adipose. All is of good material, toiigh,, wiry i; enduring, . and well put 'together! r ,General-Grant’s chief merits consist in his' high integrity,and sense of justice; '' prudence,' 'steadfast ness; perseverance;: will, governed by his in tellect, resolution, fortitude, and sense of honor. He would do nothing. , for "applause, nothing to secure the pfaise of men or escape their criticisni.'l He’takes'counsel of. his' seniors,- 1 but decides hccording to : his own highest, judgment He is. conscientious and. upright, in motive, and acts accordingly. If approved be is hot elated;' and if disapproved he is not thereby disconcerted; but fails back 7:oa that power which is above and beyond the reach of , blame or praise. But, to be. more specific, General Grant has large perceptive faculties; is a quick ob server; eminently systematic and methodical, and has an excellent mathematical ‘ intellect. He can solve difficult problems and trace facts to their principles. Constructiveness is also large, and he has'good r mechanical abilities, and may be said to possess powers of inven tion, with gTeat natural aptitude, for using tools as well as lor planning. He cannot only instruct'others “how fd do it,” but he can do it himself. His temperament is rather sanguine than, lymphatic,., combined with the bilious and the nervous, and he is em phatic, doing with a will what he does a*, all. His causality, comparison, mirthfulness, individuality, locality, human' nature and agreeablenees are all prominent Indeed, there are no deficiencies among -the faculties, and, like clock work, each does its work in perfect harmony with all the rest He judges the char acter of men, readß the motives of all with whom he comes in contact, and estimates the spirit of each and every one. He is not a builder of air castles, but reduces everything to practice, and his first question is, “What is its use?” “What can be done with it?” and he dis covers and decides at once what to do. There is nothing bombastic or pretentious about him. He stands on his merits, as suming nothing bnt doing everything. We deem it quite safe to predict that the longer General Grant liveß—should no accident be fall him—the higher will he stand in the esti mation of his countrymen. He is one among many who have won unfading laurels, but few, if any, wear them so modestly or so be comingly. He is the embodiment of those words, sensible and expressive, which it would be well for all to heed, when told to mind “our own business. ” REfAU DBF CIOtfBS, c A AND 3-4 BLACK IBON BAREHEB, BEST C~t: qualities.

MEDICAU AYER’S SARSAPARILLA, •'OR PURIFYING TUB ILOOD.—The reputation this tcellent medicine enjoys is erived from ite cures, many jf which are truly marvellous. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous disease, where the system °emed saturated with corrup ton, have been purified and ired by it. Scrofulous affec ions and disorders, which rere aggravated by the ecro iloub contamination until iey were painfully, afflicting, tave been radically cured in t every section of the country, to be informed of its virtues or uses. Scrofulous poison Is one of the most destructive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and anfelt tenant of the organism undermines the constitution, and invites the at tacß of enfeebling or fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it seems to breed infec tic n throughout the body, And then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop into one or otherof its hideous forms, either en the surface or among the yitala. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed in the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions on the ekin, or foui ulcer- . ations on some pan of the body. Hence tho occa sional use of a bottle of this SABSAPABinna is advisable, even when no active symptoms of disease appear. Per sons afflicted with the following complaints generally find immediate relief, and. at length, cure-by the use of this SARSAPARILLA: St. Anthony’s Fire, Rose ob EUYBIPELAB, TETTEB, SALT RIIEUM, SCALD HeA2\ ReNG woom, Sons Eyes, Sobb Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also In the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the various Ulcerous affections of the muscular and nervous systems. SYPUTMBor Venertal and Mercurial Diseases are cured by it, though a long time is required for subduing these obstinate maladies dv any medicine. But long con tinued use bf this medicine will cure the complaint, LeUCOBRHCBA Or W HITES, UTBRINE ULOERATIONB,andJ Fe* mali: Diseases, are commonly soon relieved and ulti-. umtely cured by-its purifying and invigorating effect Minute Directions for . each case are found in our Al manac. supplied gratis. Rheumatism and Gout, when caused by accumulations of extraneous matters in the blood, yield quickly to it as also Liver Com plaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Inflammatiom of the Liver, and Jaundice, when arising, os they often dojfromthe rankling poisons in the blood. L his SARSAPARILLA is agreat restorer for the strength . and vigor of the system. Those who are Languid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and troubled with N ep-vous Apprehensions or Fears, or any of the affcc- • tions symptomatic of Weakness, will find Immediate re- ; liet and convincing evidence of its restorative power upon trial ' • ‘ prepared by Dr. J.
