The light is fading down the sky, The shadows grow and multiply, I hear the thrushes' evening song : Cut I have borne with toil and wrong So long, so long ! Dim dreams my drowsy senses drown ; So darling, kiss my eyelids down! My life's brief spring went wasted by ; My summer ended fruitlessly ; I learned to hunger, strive and wait; I found you, love ; oh, happy fate So late, so late ! Xow all my -fields are turning brown ; So darling kiss my eyelids down !. Oh, biessed sleep ! oh, perfect rest ! Thus pillowed on your faithful breast; Nor life nor death is wholly drear, O tender heart, since you are here, So dear, so dear ! Sweet love, my soul's sufficient crown! Xow, darling, kiss my eyelids down 1 MEXICO. The. unhappy country of Mexico has reach oil th:ir st:i. nt' civil war where the fron- queror lavs aside the obligations of the bel- it i .1. . i , .. liijt-rent aiiu assumes iue uuiiusui an uaccu tiouer. Our readers are familiar with the de cree of Maximilian, which assumes that the i.uexic-0, au wno iouow- nun are to oe out lawed and treated as enemies of mankind. He speaks of the Mexican followers of the President as '"mir-led" and "misinformed," carried away by ''unpatriotic passions," and assisted by "demoralized persons" and an "unprincipled soldiery," the lat "sad rem nants of the civil wars." It seems very odd to find a ruler denouncing Juarez and his followers as the "sad remuants of the" civil wars," and at the same time inviting to his Court such "remuants" as Kirby Smith, Magr tder, W. Allen, and Sterling l'rice ; but this is a matter of Imperial taste, and none of our business, lie may keep as many, Rebels as he pleases, and pive them nice offices ; but it seems odd that he should be so speedy to denounce the devoted fol lowers of Juarez for clinging to their chief, while he rewards the followers of Jeff. Davis for defending their master, and expatriat ing themselves out of love for treason. Maximilian's decree, which goes into ef fect on November 15, very much resembles the decree of the coapl etat of Napoleon. It seems to bear Parisian inspiration. We are apt ta suspect the argument which makes anger take the place of rason. We are also apt to doubt the security of a power which seeks to perpetuate itselt by deeds of need less cruelty. Maximilian proposes to Jo this. He has delcated Juarez in war, or rather the soldiers of the French armies did thi. in his name. Representing as he con tends, the."national will" and the "majori ty of the nation," he draw; his national ar my from France aud Belgium and Austria. Remembering this, we need only look to Maximilian's decree of October 2 to find grave eaus2 for suspecting the stability cf a throne which finds indiscriminate murder necessary for its security. Every soldier of Juarez taken in arms after Nov. 15, is to be summarily tried by his captors and shot within twenty-four hours. The "guilt" does not mean war, but "the fact of belong ing to the Land of Mexican soldiers." If a Mexican, therefore, stiil adheres to Juarez, even gives his sympathies, he is liable to be shot by any sub-lieutenant from Austria who desiies to sho v Imperial zeal. In or der to make the punishment more rigid, the Emperor punishes by fine or imprisonment all who assist the Juarez men with money, or who give them "advice or information ;" who sell them horses cr arms or food; who hold any relations with them, who conceal them ; who make false reports calculated to disturb the peace, - or who hear of their wherea'xmts and refuses to give information. The sentence of death in all these cases is to be executed by the officer who makes the arrest. The Emperor desires it to be suiifmarv. There is not to be the super visory power of a General in command, nor even an appeal to his own clemency, it must be executed at once, wi:hin twenty four hours. Wheu in the hight of our war the President directly said that no sentences of death should be carried into effect with out his approval, he felt that the lives of his fellow-citizens, even ot the most noto rious and malignant Rebels, were in his own peculiar keeping, and none should take life away until he Iiad.sausneu nis owp con science as to the iustice of the sentence. Maximilian, on the contrary, transfers the most solemn prerogative that can belong to a ruler to the most insiguifieant subordinate officer in his empire. - Without attempting to decide tne cnan ces of Maximilian's success we must protest, in the name of humanity, against thecourse prescriWd by his decree. If Maximilian is really Emperor by the grace of God and the will of the Mexican people, why is it ne cessary to make his army an army of exe cutioners? We know the horrors of mar rial lnw pven when checked and curbed, but we do not know how horrible that law becomes when the power ot life and deatn over the Mexican people is in the hands of any stupid or brutal corporal of the guard. We read with horror of the excesses of the Iia bn.l the nower to take every poor Scotchman, who would not take the test, down trom nis loom auu smwi Frenchmen would trladly skip the pages that tell of La Vendee and the revolutionary bap- tisnw. JN d r-nciisnnian is lonu ui uwuu in" unon the suppression of the Sepoy rebel- Thn frre.it stain on the tame ot tne present Emperor Napoleon is the indiscrim inate slaughter of Parisian men and women on boulevards during the days of De: comber. It cannot be that a ruler so adroit as Maximilian is about to repeat in Mexico the nf nl.l Euronean countries. He must rule by love or never rule at all. lie cannot be in men's despite a monarch. "What isto Become of the Democratic Party. Nothing can be more certain than that the Democratic party did itself prodigious injury by its conduct in the late war for the savins of the nation. Will that injury prove fatal to it? Has it a constitution touah enough to endure and to rally, or will it succomb and be transmigrated into some new political organization ? This question cannot, as vet, be positive ly answered. The difficulty is that the vi tality of the Democratic party is something that has always baffled calculation. We on ly know that it is extraordinary that it has in time pa-ujjeen prof against what ought to have made an end ot it a dozen times over. It is with political parties as it is with creatures of the animal kingdom there is an immense difference in their tenacity upon life. One will die from a scrateh, and another will manage to live though su.ashed to a jelly. We can only say that the colder blooded of them are generally the hardest to kill. Again, there is a' mysterious law of adap tation, through which some natures, by a gradually acquired familiarity, can come to bear what would onee have caused immedi ate death. Mithrid ttes, King of Poutus, learned to feed on poisons. The English writer De Q.iiricy took cieht thousand drops of laudanum in a dav. We read lately of a lawyer who drank in a single year thirty two hundred bottles of McMunn's prepara tion. It is not enough to ktiow tint every vein of the Democratic party is full of a copperhead virus, the least taint of which would destroy any other. We must make an immense allowance for the cold, impas sive nature of the party, and for its long having been inured to everything rank and noxious, and after all we never can le sure that the allowance is enough. The old Fed eral party, it is usually said, died of an an ti-national spirit, specially wi ought up by the last war with England. That spirit has been tenfold more active, in tenfold greater concentration, in the modern Democratic party during the war with lhe Rebellion i ; but there is no saying yet that it will kill in this case. Time only can tell. The problem would be greatly simplified could we know just what amount of the vir us is gointr to continue in ihe system of the party. We are without any certain index ot thnt. The Democrats ot Maine, at their late State Convention, in one o' their reso lutions characterized the late war as "a struggle for constitutional government," and resolved to "cherish sacredly the memory of their dead who had fallen, and honor the living who have perilled life and fortune in the same great cause." The Democrats of Pennsylvania, at their State convention, on the oi her, in their resolutions adverted to the struggle only as an affair of "slaughter, debt, and' disgrace." The Democrats of Ken tucky, in the late election in that State, voted with greatest alacrity for the most no torious Rebel sympathizers; and if we may believe the Louisville Journal would have hailed with delight an opportunity to sup port John C. Rreckinridge himself. These varrious manifestations make it quite impos sible to determine what the actual condition of the party is, and what influence will get the control of it. At best, we can only cal culate the probabilties. The great strait of the party now is for new issues with the party in power, which shall give it some little chance of popular favor. It can revive none of the issues made by the war, for these caused it a stun ning defeat. Resides, they all belong to the past. It would be sheer craziness now to declare the war "a failure." It is not much short of that to spend breath in denouncing the suspension of habeas corpus, or the en actment ot the conscription act, or the emis sion of legal tender. It did appear for a time to the Northen portion ot the party that something might be made by taking ground against the constitutional amend ment abolishing slavery. Rut the South abandons slavery, and they are left in the lurch. Yet, the party in New Jersey had not discovered this when they entered the late convass with running a muck against the amendment. Rut the "Democrats" of New Jersey have always been a long way behind the time. As long ago as General Jackson's day they, took a draught out of Rip Van Winkle's flagon, and then slept so long that their very dogs forgot them. They have never since got their eyes more than half open unless the resu't of the elec tion on the 7th of November had a tenden cy to increase their vision. The party in the North generally has bet ter perceptions. It can in some sort recog I nize a living necessity. Rut its natural dis position, so tar as that is concerned, remains essentially unchanged. Were the South, even at this day, to unite in a resolution to hold on to slavery ; were it to assert that it has the same right now to regulate its do mestic institutions in its own way that it had done before the war, it would be sus tained, beyond all question, by the vast majority of the so-called Democratic party ot the North ; and as desperate an at tempt would made to break down the anti slavery policy of President Johnson as was made to break down the anti-Rebellion poli cy of President Lincoln. We may as well take it for granted that the Democratic party in the North will seek, as of old, to strengthen itself by adopting Southern principles and policies. Not only old habits impel it to this, but the palpable fact that it is too weak to stand alone. put what are Southern principles and poli cies? What will they be? There's the rub- At present there seems to be a gener al disposition in the South to accept the principles and policies set forth by Ro dent Johnson. The consciousness of the K,-mtWn States that thev have been com pletely overpowered, and their anxiety to rearain their relation? to the Union, make them, as a general thing, very acquiescent in the just and clement measures of the Administration. It is impossible to foreknow whether, when "reconstiuction" is consummated, there will be any Southern issues with the Administration, and, if so, what. Iu other word.s, it is impossible to say whether the j old Democratic party of the South is or is not capable ot being revived ; or whether any opposition party can, for years to come find a tenable foothold there. Everything south of Manson and Dixion'sis in an anoma lous condition, a trausitional state; and it is in vain to try to define the shapes into which its political elemeuts will finahy resolve themselves. What Is left of the old Democratic party must go sf.tggeriug on, oppressed with the disgrace of its recreancy in the war, and helplessly trusting to luck for something to better its fortunes. Whether it will abso lutely sink and cease to exist we do not un dertake to say. Rut it is very certain that, with is present elements it can can never get strength enough to re-acquire the rule of the country. In the present stage of the nation, it is morally impossible for any party to get power in it that has uot an iudomitable national spirit. Here the American people will not tolerate faintness infinitely less faithlessness. "War Between Spain and Chili. The Government of Spain has been em boldened by its su cess iu Peru to fall upon another Republic of South America. On the 17th of September the eve of the an-niver-iary of the Chilian independence, the Spanish Admiral Pareja appeared in Valpa raizo harbor, and sent in a notification that the former explanations and apologies oil'er ed by Chili to Spain, and which the Span ish Minister in Chili, Senor Tavila, had de clared perfectly satisfactory, had been repu diated iu Madrid, and that he, Pareja, had been invested with full powers to adjust the question spending. He then stated the prin cipal points of offense, and demanded an im mediate and satisfactory explanation and a salute of 21 guns to the Spanish flag, or he would at once break off all diplomatic rela tions. The Government of Chili refusing to accede to this demand, Pareja sent an ulti matum, to which the Chilian Congress re plied by unanimously passing a declaration of war. Chili has thus far been the most flourish ing of all the South American Republics, iu.-J she is undoubtedly able to make a more "ioroui resistance to the Spanish attacks than' Peru. Still, the great losses which a blockade of all her ports, and the" tempora ry destruction of her commerce must neces sarily involve, will put her on a severe trial. Aid from other South American States can not, at present, be expected; and it will re quire an amount of endurance not generally met with in the South American States to bring this war to a more satisfactory issue than that between Spain and Peru. Indefinitely Postponed. The Pitts burg Commercial is of the opinion that the " Ty! rtziig'' of Andrew Johnson has been postponed indefinitely. .The idea and hope existed only with the Democrats and some few ridiculously radical papers, which made up by virulence what they lacked in truth. It we mistake not, the time has passed when Mr. Johnson would have his back quite turned on the party that elected him, and himself in full communion with the Democ racy. Judging from the recent elections,in steadof the President loosing hinisdfin such a vortex, the Democratic party has gone out of sight, with the smallest chance of ever appearing again. It is to be hoped that gentlemen w ith weak nerves on the Re publican side, and gentlemen with great ex pectations on the Democratic side, will cease to concern themselves about the course of the President. Arrest of Americans in Ireland. We trust that our Government has resented prop erly,the unwarrantable arrests of Americans in Ireland upon the "suspicion" of being Fe nians. The mere possesion of a revolver is accepted by the Rritish government as con clusive proof that a man is a Fenian ; but people who are not so easily scared at trifles as the.members of that government appear to be, will hardly regard the proof as suffi cient to warrant even a "suspicion." The United States G-overnment owes it to its cit izens who are called to travel abroad to pro tect them against unwarrantable arrests and seizures .and perhaps a few words of caution from Mi-. Adams might save the English authorities from cutting so ridiculous a fig ure as they now The long-expected balloon bridalc ame off, or went up, at New York on Tuesday, No vember 7th, according to the programme.

Correspondence of the Chambersburg Repository. Harrisburg, Nov. 6, 1865. The con test for Gubernatorial nominations will soon begin with energy. I have iu a former let ter referred to the long roll of names dis cussed in connection with the Union nomi nation. As yet there is no manifest con centration of sentiment towaid any one of the distinguished tentlemen who will be urged upon the Union Convention. hen the legislature meets in January next, there will doubtless be various grave caucuses be tween prominent Union politicians, and they wrfl give sou e definite shape to the move ments of the party. The candidates for the Democratic nomi nation are fjwer in number aud they will maintain their ground and fight it to the bitter end. One- year ago Hon. Heister Clymer would have been nominated without serious difficulty; but he has confessedly lost in the race recently. He will be the strongest man before the convention on first ballot, but his success is by no means cer tain, lie has occupied the most unfortu nate position ot being the most prominent man tor the nomination since 1S63, and all combinations therefore looking to the suc cess of any other candidate begin with hos tility to him. Naturally he would carry the whole North-east, most of the East, in cluding Philadelphia, and the interior coun ties ; but the opposition hasre -orted to strat egy that looks perilous to Clymer. Judge Parker, of Carbon, a man oi" prinee'y for tune and generosity, has been presented by his friends, and will lake a number of the tenth legion counties from Clymer. Judge Maynardis also brought outand takes anoth er slice, and Mr. Vaux is fiually trotted out, who runs off with twenty-two votes in Phil adelphia. All these take so many votes from Clymer, and it is uot improbable that in the end they will defeat him. It is a clever piece of political strategy, and one which Clymer has no ingenuity equal to meet. He is a clever man, personally popular, an able stuuiDer. and would make a formidable competitor in a canvass. He was once a Whig in wld Rerks, but switched off in 185G, and soon took a high rank as a leader among his new associates. His political record siuce the war is his vulnerable point, but the time for that is not yet Gen. Geo. W. Cass, of Allegheny, will be the second strongest man, as things now look, on first ballot for the Democratic nom ination. He is a nephew - of - Gen. Lewis Cass, once the Democratic candidate for Presidency. He has never been in political life, although for some years one of' the leading Democratic politicians of the State. He L President of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad, and is a practical business man of a very high order, person ally very popular, and a man of fine admin istrative abilities. Lake Llymer he has had the misfortune to be a prominent candidate for "he nomination long enough to make new competitors conspire against him, and his success is therefore very doubtful. lie would doubtless be the second choice of ma ny delegates who will be instructed for oth ers, and mav succeed if not defeated by the combinations to defeat the old candidates. He has a strong lieutenant in Hon. John L. Dawson, his hrother-in-law, who is one of the best Democratic politicians in the State. The nomination of Mr. Vaux is not with in the range of probability. He is a clever, weak manT more ornamental than practical, and will not suit the Democracy for the com ing contest. He will be complimented by the vote of Philadelphia, but will not be able to transfer his own men to a second choice. Judge Packer is more likely to succeed if a compromise is resorted to. lie is very popular in the North-east, and de servedly so, and he possesses fair abilities. He has served two terms in Congress, but has devoted his energies for ten years past to the coal business, in which he has amass ed an immense fortupe. His income last year was over a quarter of a million. I do not know that he is urging his own nomina tion, as the movement was srarted. when he was in Europe, hut I reckon that "Rarkis is willin'." . . m That 30,000 freed men would perish this Winter of starvation, if not relieved, is not the least remarkable statement of those who have been- recent observers at the Souih.V We are' not entirely wirpised to know that in South Carolina aud Georgia only a very small minority are willing to treat the blacks to a pittance of ordinary fairness. The real picture of affairs is pain fully suggested by this statement So far, thfi bl:iiks seem to be the victims : but our travelers have not told half the story. This destitution on one side cannot he witnout a correspondence on the other, if we reck on from tlfe old social and industrial balance at the South. The white Southerner who kicks labor away from another person's land, and sends it out to pasture upon nothing, is in a fair way of starving himsell' Rough riders, who still keep a small standing army at the planter's expense to waylay and shoot down negro soldiers and freedmen, are tak ing great pains to make famine a sure thing all round. Rather put out the embers ot the feud, drop the outlaws, protect the freedmen, and let common-sense and jpfcnty have chance and room , to grow. e can predict that for every black man starved by the pro-famine and pro-Slavery combina tions of the South, white merf will suffer in much the same way and proportion.
