"Insulted !' replied tlio captain, "who

" You did sir," replied the boy while his
faee flushed up with indignation.
"Get up, sir, mid be cirnful that you do
not get tht; samo treatment," siiid tho cap
tiiiD in a savage touc.
The old man heard this appeal from his
son, and as tho last word dropped from
lips of his captor, he raised bin head and
as a look of the utmost deBauco passed over
his features, hu exclaimed :
"Ask no favors, Robert. Old Karl

changing hi voice to one of deep Bupliea-

"Do what you please with mo, sir, but
do not harm my boy, for ho has done no
wrong. I am ready for your sentence and
the sooner you finish it the better."
"Lay hold of the whip 1" shouted tho
captain, "Lay hold, i-very man of you.
and run the villain up !"
In obedience to the order the men
rauped themselves along tho dork, and
every one laid hold of tho rope. Robert

H.iifau hour afterwards the boy knelt
borido a glumly coipse, and a simple
prayer eic iped hid lips. Then another
low murmuring souu'l eame from his bo
som, but none of '.hojc v.'ho stood around
knew its import. I was a pledge of deep
revenge.
Jmt as the old man's body slid from tiio
gang-board into the water, a vivid fi.wh of
lightuing streamed through tho Iwavuns,
and in another instant the dreadful artil
lery of nature rcnt forth a roar so long aud
loud.that the men actually put their hands
to tiu ir cars to shut out tho deafening
sound llobert Kiutook started at tho sound
aud 'what cnu"cd dread in other bosoms,
sent a thrill of satisfaction to his own.
"Oh, revenge ! revenge !" ho muttered

His first shriek had started tho girls,
and forth they rushed, wondering il some
Indian wore piowlirig about, Hy this
time John was within a few rodi of the
barn, still running at the top of his speed,
his head turned so that ho could keep ouo
eye on the s-uakc, and with thu other,
observe what course ho might take. The
friendly barn now concealed him from the
sight of tho girls. He kuew they were in
the yard, having caught a glimpse of them
as they rushed from tho house. A few
more bounds at.d he would be in their
midst. For a rnomgu modesty overcame
fear, and ho halted. The enake, evidently
pleased with the rapid transportation,
manifested hii gratitude hy attempting to
enfold the legs of our hero in his embrace.
With an explosive ''uuch," and urged
forward by "circumstances over which he
had no control," John bounded ou. The
next moment he was in full new of tho
girls, aud us he turned tbo corner of tbo
barn the suake came around with a whiz
much after the fashion of a coachwhip.
Having reached the barn-yard, to his
disxiay, he found the bars up. Time was
too precious to bo wasttd in letting down
bars. Gathering himself, he bouuded in
to the air, .Miukc ditto; and. as ho alight

cracked .vross tlio upper bars, snapping
like au Indian cracker.

she took her station near the corner of the
house, and as Jobu re appeared, brought it

John rushed into the house and into his

Wo have passed through strange scenes
in these twenty vears. And nmid them
all we havo clung to the old democratic
laud marks of our fathers, endeavored to
cherish their virtues, to profit by their
esperienec and to assist in upholding thu
sacred trust they committed to our hands.
Wo passed through the exciteing political
contests of 13-14, 1946, 1852 and 18oG
emerging from them all a contented peo
ple aud our nation went on prospering
and to prosper, as no uat'on ever prosper
ed before. It is not until the demon of
scotiotirlistn raised its hideous head and
became a power in the laud, that all thin
prosperity, all thit happiuesa, was dashed
to tho earth aud our boasted Republic,
under abolition rule, became the laughing
stock of tho world, compelled tamely to
submit to repeated insults by the crowned
monarchs of Europe, and falling to pieces
iu consequence of the rottenness of its own
rulers. To-day the once proud United,
States are a bleeding, distracted, ru'tued
nation. Aud all in consequence of the un
reasonable, senseless, impious fanaticism
of the abolition, puritan element in our
j political structure. It is this that has
j p'liugcd us into all this misery that has
j brought mourning and desolation ou the
land, sacrificed thousands ot valuable lives
and expended millions and millions uf
treasure. It is the fanaticism wc. arc in
debted for tho sad devastation that lia
been brought on tho fairest portion of our
land, for tho fierce hatred that has been
engendered, not only between citizens of
the two sections, but among former friends
aud near neighbors. Deny it as you will
Abolitionism has brought this terrible ca
lamity on the country and either Abolition
ism or tho country must perish.
Hut we cauuot pursue this theme. We
oan scarcely hope to occupy or prescu po
sition twenty years morc ; but as long as
wn do. we shall continue to clius to thu
old democratic party and battle for its en
during principles with all tho zeal and all
tho energy that Hod has given us. Twen
ty years close observation and experience
havo served to convince us that those prin
ciples are iho only ones adapted to thu
ucccssful governing of a Itcpublie such
as ours, and the ouly principles that oan
sever restore tho nation to its former puri
ty, peace and greatness.
