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.

A StrlKo on an Irish Farm*
The Journals, &p,,' relating to Ireland, of
the late Nassau W. 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..-

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.

POLITICAIi.
The Democrats and tb© Eighth Com-
macidmeiit. •
{From the London Spectator of July 11th. 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 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,

policy.
12. This Conventiondedares itself in,sytupfithy
with nil the dppreesed people’ which 'are' strag

13. That'we highly commend’the spirit of mag-'
naDimity and lorbearance with which the men.

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. ”

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 ' • ‘
