' equal' beauty andtruth : , .
"Most wretched men •

. and Poe was . a special illustration , Orthis
truth.. :When he wrote best, he was under
some strong impulse.; and; if.the fact could
. be ascertained, (impossible now),-.,WnhavO.
no doubt that it would :appear that " The

" Lady 'Geraldirtes - Coprtship" was struck
off by' Mrs; Browning, 0_ save the pest,
when it became necessary, at the latest mo
ment, to ..send it to... New York, there to
-appear in the first American collective edi
tion of her poems; issued by Mesas. Francis.
The-English critic says: •.• • ..
h 'The Raven' speaks for itself. Any one .who
miming read it over once, can believe, on the faith
f any amount of philological testimony, that the
poem is Persian might believe that Hamlet was
the. , work of a ' Chickasaw Indian;
that Vanity
Fair was composed by a native of Timbnotoo ;or
that Frith's ',Derby Day is a servile copy from
Apelles. The sentiments, the feelings, the aspire. tions:;•theregrets, the whole soul and spirit of The
Raven' are absolutely and entirely Occidental and
Christian in their nature. We say nothing of the
details, the incidents, the surroundings, the stu
dent's room and his fire .with its: dying embers, his
bust of Pallas, his .arm-chair with -its velvet
violet lining; the dark December 'clouds and
wind outside his : windowpanes, and all other
accessories of the wild and wonderful picture
which the poet , so minutely drew. We pass over the
acknowledged'and obvious fact that Poe adapted to
his own work some of the peculiarities which he
especially admired. in the metre, arid -rhyme of
Elizabeth Barrett Browning.. But the truth is that
there could be no Raven' poem at all except as the
product-of an Occidental brain and a nature en
tirely imbued with Christian feeling. We are not
aware that Oriental poets are in the habit of con
templating . with -passionate longing the pure re.
union of severed souls in that distant Eden' where
the poet hoped to clasp 'the rare andradiant maiden
whom the angels name Leonora:. Reckless, weak,
and. degraded as Edgar_Poe was, the whole poem
of The' Raven' shows that there-was within his •
fallen nature a pure' depth of noble, tender, and
peculiarly Christian aspitailon and faith such as
even the highest of-the_ olassic-poets have not re
vealed, and which must surely bo utterly incom
prehensible to a Persian minstrel. If there really
be in reruns nalur4 any Persian poem whatever
which: would have suggested any notion •of The
Raven,!-and which poe might have seen, it can
only be something,bearing so faint a resemblance to
the master-piece of American poetry as' to leave to
Edgar Poe the fall merit of trat originality which
we acknowledge in Shakspeare, when out of the
Danish legend he made "Hamlet,' or award- to
Goethe when from the old stories and mystery playa
he constructed 'Faust'' , •

are somewhat in the manner of !‘ The Ra

them—that, rejecting them as not good
enough for publication, he laid them aside,
among his failures—that he subseqUently
recurred, partly; to their peculiar metre,

WHAT THE LIBERAL. PARTY HAVE ACHIXVZD.
.
It is sometimes asked what has the Republican
party done 7 Lock around and you will see every
where what it has done. Its seta are already histo
ric: Slavery and the . Blabk Laws all abolished in
the national capital ; slaVery interdicted in all the
national Territories ; Hayti and . Liberia recognized
telodependent republics in the. family of nations;
the foreign slave trade placed under the ban of a
new treaty with Great Britain ; the coastwise slave
trade prohibited forever; all persons in the military
Orriaval service prohibited from returning slaves;
all fugitive slave acts repealed.; the rule excluding
colored 'testimony in the national courts abol
ished ; and slaves set free in the rebel States
by. Presidential proclamation; such are some
of the triumphs of freedom, accomplished under
the. auspices .of the Republican party. Bat this
is' not all. The Pacific Railroad has been
at last authorized ; agricultural colleges have been
provided for; homeateads on the public lands have
beerieffered to "all actual settlers, while by special
legislation emigration has been encouraged and or -
ganlzed. But beyond all these measures—any one
of which in other. days would have illustrated a
whole Administration—the National Government,
with Abraham Lincoln as itahead, has set on foot
one of the largest armies of which there Is any au
thentic record; has equipped a navy which, in the
variety and completeness of itapower .with all mo
dern improvements, may vievrith any navy in 'the
world, while; by a most successful financial system,
including banks and credits, it has obtained the un
precedented _means required for all this enormous
preparation, illustrating how • •
..-----war may, beet upheld,
'Move by her two main nerves, iron and gold,
_ In all her equipage:"
All-this is the work of thoßepublican partV in less
than a _single. Presidential term. It ,remains for
this party to crown its- transcendent labors by com
pleting the triumph of thalhalon, and by -establish
ing peace on the indestructible foundation of human
rights. For my - self, let me say, I regard it as an
honor to belong to this party, so great in what it
has already ScComplished,.and greater still in what
'lt 'now : pro Poses. Other parties .have performed
their - part and. perished. The Republican party,
will live foreVer In the- gratitude of all who love
liberty,' and who rejoice in the triumphs of civiliza
tion. Foreign' cotuitrtes will take up the strain,
while the downtrodden and the oppressed every
where confesa that their burdens have been lifted by
an irresistible influence, which we are now assem
bled to advance.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY-HEROD AND DILATE
JOINED HANDEL • : •
Against the RepubLioan party, thus patriotic and
already Illustrious by its achievements, is arrayed.
the old,Democratlc party, galvanized into- new life,.
and reinforced by members of the old 8011-Everett
party who prefer Bell to Everett. In' this. strange
combination where Herod and Pilate have joined
bands to destroy human freedom, them seems but
one single element - of cohesive attraction, and that
is slavery ; and these men all call' themselves De

For years the Democraticparty has been the sup
porter of slavery, ready to yield anything to its in
satiate demands. .
Look at the rebellion from beginning to end, and
you.will find - that it has been engineered by Demo
crats. •
You cannot forget that James Buchanan, a Demo
crat was President, surrounded by. a Democratic
Canet, while the rebellion wai - allowed to organize
'and to gather strength without interruption.
Whereveryou look now In the rebellion; there you
find the old Democracy, into which is absorbed John
Bell and his followers, arrayed against their coun
try
Look at individuals; you will find that the larger
half, constituting.the controlling power of the old
Democratic party, is now in arms against their
country. •
Look at States ; you will find that all now in re
bellion were, at its outbreak, Democratic States.
Look at the present upholdors..of the rebellion,
and you will find that all, without exception, who
*are most active.in it were Democrats ;_that Teter.-
son Davis, the .President, in) tenacious and uncom
prominingi wattle Democrat ,• that Stephens, the au
dacious Vice President, who announced that 'the
. new Government was founded 'on' slavery as"its
cornerstone, was an old Whig turned Into a Demo

that the President of the rebel Senate and the
Speaker of the rebel House were Democrats ; that
James M. Mason and John Slidell, the rebel emis

who, after obtaining their education at. Weat Point
at the public expense, threw up their commissions
and lifted parriaidal hands against their_country—
Hood, Beauregard, Johnston, Lee—were all Demo
crats. •
It is natural that the Northern associates and al
lies of these rebels should be engaged in devising
apologies for rebellion.. si,t,•,is natural. that they
should be against all energetic measures for its sup

Bitt the patriotism of Democrats like these will not
be an apology for the Democrat Jefferson Davis, 'or I
for bis-Deroooratic sympathizers among us whariow'
seek to arrest the strong blows under which rebel
lion reels. I - do not 'forget; also, that there are
good:men who, under -a misapprehension , of some
kind, and without seeing all the 'bearings of their ,
conduct,'have 'allowed themselves to be swept, into. 1
the Democratic ranks. But such asfthese can be no
cloak to that Democratic party which at Chicago
openly struck: hands with =Jefferson Davis, and un

It is because the Democratic party is at . this mcW

dangerous to our country, and so !Utterly hostile to I

not do in, exposing that , combination at Chicago,.

it is because I wish to put you on your guard against

parties read the speeches and resolutions at Balti

actions at , these two Conventions were not still
fresh in the memory. -Suffice' it to say that the
Convention at Baltimore openly and frankly pledg
ed all its energies to the suppression of the rebellion
and to the utter and - complete extirpation of slavery
from the soil of- the -Republic, without compromise.
or hesitation of any . kind. T h is was noble and pe.
triotic. But writhing of this kind was done 14 ;
cago.
THE CHICAGO PLATFORM.
.
The Chicago platform may be 'seen An two
aspectsfirst, in what it ,does say, and-secondly in
what it does not - say. 'There are two things Which
it does say,first, that-the war for the suppression of
the rebellion is a failure, and secondly that,there
should be a cessation of hostilities. There are two
things which it does not• say—first, it does not say
anything against the rebellion, *and secondly it
does riot say anything against slavery: And candi
dates have been nominated on this platform. In,
voting for them you will affirm that the war has
failed, and that •it ought to be Stopped, while you
will decline to say anything against the rebelliOner
against slavery. "You_ will declare that Granthas
failed at Vicksburg and Richmond ; that Sherman
has failed 'at Atlanta ; that Farragut has failed at
New. Orleans and Mobile that Winslow has failed
against the Alabama ; - an d, that Sheridan has failed
in the valley of the Shenandoah ; and you will
further declare that all these heroes should be ar
rested An mid-career, while Democratic agencies,
take their place; ands rosiawater :is substituted for
cannonballs And you will declare, also, that the
rebellion shall prevail, and' that slavery shall' con- -
thine to degrade our country; and be the seed of in
- terminable war. All,.thni you will affirm, and de
clare by your votes. - . •
If anything were needed to illustrate the offensive
character of this platform it would be 'found in the
efforts • made - to get' away frothlt=at least in this
latitude. Nobody here -is willing to stand upon it.
The cry of the railroad Conductor is transferred to'
politics- - -" It is dangerous to standon the platform.”
Nobody has made greater-efforts to get away from
it than the Presidential candidate of the Democracy,
who forgets that as a candidate he inborn with the
platform, and united to it, as the Slathese twins are
united together, so that the two cannot be separated.
As,well. cut apart Chang and.Eng.as cut apart Mc-
Clellan and Chicago.' The two must go together.

The letter of McClellan is a-specimen of "how
not to do 'Thiti is the prevailing idea ; how not
to-stand an the - platform ; bow not to _offend the
rebels, and how not to touch slavery. It is an in
genious wriggle and twist; burso far as the`writer'
succeeds in getting - off the platform it is only to run
Upon. other difficulties—as from Scylla to Charybdis.
The platform shirenders to.the-rebellien; the letter
surrenders to slavery. But the rebellion is nothing
but belligerent slavery, so that surrender to slaiery
is -surrender to the rebellion: l The , platform dis
cards the Union, but _the letter, while professingisa
desire for' Union, discards emancipation, - without
which Union is impossible, and while professing a
desire for peace, it discards liberty, through which
alone peace can be secured. The letter says: " The
Union is,the• one - condition ,of peace—we. ask ,no
more." The Democratic candidate may • ask no
more; but others do. I ask, more, because without
more the-Union is bet a name.--I ask more for tho
sake'of justice and humanity, and that this terrihle
war may be vindicated in • history. The Baltimore.

dem of said persons.” And he asked itagain, wheh,,
" h
in his letter " To all whom it may concern,e
flounced that all terms of peace must, begin' with
" the abandonment of slavery." But in face of these
declarations the candidate of the Democrats mum
bles forth, " the Union is the one condition of peace—
we ask no more."
EMANOLPATION" zrekEsslat* TO UNION •Aei TO FREE
•. It is a strange Infatuation which imagines that
the rebellion can be closed without the entire abo
litionorslavery. The rebellion began*with slavery,
and it, will end with slavery. As it began in no other
wayyso itAcensemdArr-no , -ether'way:‘ Born 'front , '
slavery, it must die with slavery.- Therefore do It
insist that slav,ery shall hot be spared, for in apaiing
slavery You spare the rebellion itself.,. • ,
But even if reason andthe necessity of the ease
did not require the sacriflce;it is now too late, thank
God! By .the proclamation' of the President, the
freedom of all slaves,in the rebel region. is secured
beyond recall. That gift cannot be taken back. It
was a saying, of antiquity, repeated by an exquisite
poet of our own day, that "The gods themselves
cannot recall their glits." But even If other' gift&
may be recalled, the gift of freedom cannot; •for its
recall would be - the sacrifice of human rights.
Every slave declared free by that proclamation is
entitled to his freedom as much as you and I. The
President himself, who was empowered to confer
freedom, is impotent to make a slave.. : Look at the
question as you will, in'the light of morals'or ,of
jurisprudence, and the answer will be the same:
There is the promise of the proclamation, by which
the public faith of the country is irrevocably
pledged, that certain slaves shall be " henoefor
ward free," and -that, their freedom "shall
be recognized andmaintained ;". and this pro
' - '
mire, according to morals cannot be taken back.
Still more, according to jurisprudence, It cannot be
taken back ; for "once ifree' freeilways" is a pre-'
veiling maxim, and no court, sitting under the ()on
stitution, and inspired by the Declaration of Inde..
pendence, can venture to limit or restrain a procla
mation of freedom, -made in ,the exercise of war
powere for the suppression of rebellion. It is in
vain to say that the slaves are not now in our pow
er. This is a proper argument for the enemy, but ,
not for any court of the United States; for every
such court will stultify ,itself and shock the judicial.
conscience of mankind if it refuses to recognize the
act of• the President It is enough that the: pro--
clamation has declared the slaves to be free. There:
is not a slave in the rebel region which may' not
look to it for protection, while it over-arches elflike
a firmament, which human effort : mill strive in vela
to drag down. - •
Do you need authority for , this principle ? Let
me read to you the emphatic and weltOonsidered
words of Postmaster General Blair:: ,
" The people once , slaves in the rebel States can
never again be recognized 'as such by the United
States. No JIJEUCIAL DEINSIOII, 'LEGISLATIVE
ACTION, STATIC OH NATIONAL, can be admitted to
re-enslave a people who are associated with our own
destinies in thiswar of defence , to save the Govern
ment, and whose manumission' was deemed enema
tial to the restoration and preservation•of the Union,
and to its permanent peace."
-
This is noble-doctrine, and it is none the less noble
because it is from a member of the Cabinet, who has
sometimes been supposed to hesitate where freedom
is - in question. ..- • . • . •
See,-then, into what denial of just principles, as
well Re inconsistencies, you are led when you under
take to follow the Democratic candidate in rejecting
Freedom as-the corner-stone of Union.
But I have said enough. The case is too plain for
argument. Let me give it to you in a nutshell.

' HORSEFLESH AS FOOD.—The London Times COD.•
talus the following:'" One 'orthe secretaries of the
.Society for the Protection of Animals hasjust given
a lecture at the Garden of Acclimation - on the sub•.
ject of horseflesh as human food: He advocates the
employment as butchers' meat of horses free from
disease, but past work. He calculated that the
',adoption of this system would yield daily, in Paris
alone, between 5,000 and 6,000 pounds weight of
lwholesome meat, after making a large deduction for
diseased horses. As representative of.a humarie so-
Alety, he insisted upon the great mercy It would - be,

A Clnarvart. cm:Bauman CIVILIZATION.—Tho
Sheffield Indipeitdent contains the following horrible
statement : (n' Saturday morning two 'men; Myers
and Sargiesonoinderwent the extreme enalty of
the law in front' of the gaol at Leeds. 'They were
botleconvfoted of wilful murder at the: last assizes
(being the Brat ever held in Leeds), the former for
the murder of his at Sheffield, and the latter
for the murder of John Cooper at Roche Abbey.
short time previous to the execution, attention was
directed to the wound in ffiyers , throat, and one of
the ; ,arders placed , a small plaster upon it. Unfor
tunately this was not sufficient. A few days before
the execution _Myers - alluded to the state of his
throat, and said that if the executioner did not give
him "another yard" of fall he should not die, for he
could ,breathe through the wound. lie showed; to
the person he addressed that he could actually re..
spire through `the wound. The wound was in the
middle of the. throat, and the rope would •
necessarily' cane above it, so that there was irr
minent danger tfof a horrible scene unless the
place was- securely-plastered over. The event•
showed that proper'means had not been taken to
obviate this danger. -The fall did not' dislocate his •
neck,.because of his weight, but it was sufficiently
violent to tear open the wound, and a dreadful scene
ensued., -Atter one or two movements, Myers ceasedi
apparently to . struggle; - and the attention of- the
executioner was directd to SargissoM• who strug
gledNiolently, and seemed to die very hard. Bat
after a minute had 'elapsed it was seen that Myers
was still alive, and that breathing was going on
through the wound in the throat below. the rope !
The dreadful occurrence caused an overpowering
feeling of horror, but after a consultation with! the
surgeon steps were taken which resulted in. the
eventual fulfilment of the sentence.; but this was
not accomplished until more than , twenty minutes"
had expired after the drop fell !' Whether menet .
bility remained in the body daring the' Whole of that
tithe it is impossible for us to say. "Certain, hoiv
ever,' it is that the culprit breathed fur that time,
and that the hoarse sound of the airrushinginto the ,.
lungs was distinctly audible.. Most fortunate it was
that the screen In front, of -the drop completely con
cealed the bodies from the sight of the enormous
crowd. We shudder to' think of what the conse
quences might have been if the populace had - seen
what took place behind the screen.

The Loiadon an'anthority seldom faVoraide to •
the gaited States, admits a renewed demand for our'
, bonds in Germany, and the•malttplication of new buy
ers:for investment. 'Of course the heavy•fell ..in• gold
and exchange, on this side, agents a good many of the
limited orders to New York for 5-20 s, but these limits ,
will, doubtless, be enlarged by subsequent advises.
On the 13th instant the rebel loan was quoted in Lon
dOn at 82@83, notwithetanding the fact was generally •
known that one million five hundred thousand dollars
of bonds had been recently added to the original amount
by the rebel financial agent in that city. There are two
causes Which contribute to .enkance the value of rebel
1 securities in 13arope—one is the facility with which
cotton is taken from Texas across the Rio Grande into
Mexico, and shipped from Matamoros to foreign ports,.
and the other is the recent announcement that no more '
cottonwill be'sent 'from the Southern States except for
the payment of the bonds for which It is pledged. There
is probably no truth in this report. It was started by
the rebel agentii England for the mimosa of putting up
the price of • the loin, in order that he might realize
largely ,on -further clandestine issues - of bonds. If it
were true thatanch was the intention of the so-called
Cenfederate Roverriinent, the five hundred million loan
authorized by,the last session ,of the Richmond Con
gress would , be of. no account after the fact became
known,becautie thabonds of that loan are mainly based
upon the export duties of cotton, which islet the pre
:sent time a very shadowy security at the best.: It is
.very plain, therefore, that the English_
- Purchasere of
; the European rebel bonds are to be gulled, or those
'who invest in the - borne loan deceived and cheated.
The'cash balance in the hands of the Assistant Trea
surer in Boston, at the close of business September 24,
was $6,916,977. 77—a - decrease of 8247,654.70 as compared
withthe ,close of the preceding week.
The Boston exports laSt week were $639,820, against
$224,140 for the' corresponding week in- 1963. The im
ports were $790,030, against $251 Min 1663. -
A new counterfeit of the .fifty-cent postal eirgency—
not the fractional currency—is in circulation: The face
'of the note is•printed in paler ink than the genuine, and

seemed to bold its own yesterday—feebly. It is only a
matter of time; down: it will-have to come. In a few •
days we shall have news from Grant, Farragat, and.
Sheridan, that will 'cause a crash among the specu
lators in gold that will be astonishing to those not
versed in such matters. The demand' for the leading
articles was limited to lots to meet the wants of the
borne market. Prices were weak, and only feebly sus
