Let us treat one another With the love of a brother, .' With me no resentment shall last, I still will esteem you -j In hopes to redeem you k , : If wrong at the present or past. i Friends do not complain, ' Nor my business disdain, ' But deem all my homage your debt For my poor aching hmbs rAre supplying your whims, . Else long for the news you would fret. . ' . My business is local, . My music is vocal, - My calling is within my own county, All the year I bring news ' . . Of the best I can choose -" And the carrier's fees are my bounty. Let us pass by the way ; Back to last New Year's day, And note some transactions, since then Many things I am sure . ; Are so very impure That I cannot describe with my pen. Pray I pardon, my friend, If my rhyme should offend, Your pardon I ask, o'er and o'er - The truth I must tell, Be it devilish or well, I'll utter no less nor no more. I kept you informed When stock -jobbers stormed, All through the exciting election, Many things they proclaimed, Of which they 're ashamed, Which were said without proper reflection. I warned you of dangers To which you were strangers. But now you can see and not doubt, ; These dangers were men That I with my pen Their crimes cannot half bring about Now I will advance By the rules of romance And fhowj-ou what I have deserved, For last New Year's day Andrew Jounson they say In hb programme was very reserved. But time workcth wonders And men have made blunders, Of which they are sick to the heart, And Andy was slake His appointments to make, Till his council advised him to start. He then with great pride Did all parties deride A wonderful change to produce, Some said he's divine All must bow at his shrine, But from most, such received but abuse. New officers made, New papers were paid, A Convention was held for conversion, And I blush now to own ' "What I should not have known Many Democrats seeking desertion. Bloomsburg you remember Was distui bed by a number, Who planned the Columbian net, But now they all sigh And falsely deny, But they have not succeeded as yet. Yet scarcely a man, . I say Democrats scan Ere quite with its snares youTre beset, No longer repine But adopt this design And break loose from this dark-woven net Then don't in a hurry ' Subscribe in a flurry, For the next one will be but a chain, To drag and distress you They entreat and caress you Teach them that base efforts are vain. With office expanded Yet still they are branded, The arm of affliction's not dead ; They repine not their lot, They will not be forgot For the treachery within them is read. As I've before said We've experienced a raid, To corrupt the pure stream at the source, Of Democracy clear As to all must appear, They attempted to take a new course. I will not rehearse In my stripphng verse The crimes of their foolish career, But I ask the bold foe In late battle laid low To the beacon Democracy steer. And wear until death Pure Democracy's wreath, And in glory your form will appear, And scorn the oft smil - - Of the hypocrites will, With dislike, detestation and fear. And from this New Year's day Let us keep the right way, Hold Democracy dear , Though false prophets appear -: To tempt us with "butter and Dread.' Dear friends of my heart Ere from you I part, . Pray excuse my poetio defects, My toils will be blest If I am possessed Of a quarter from each with respects. For twelve month's -I've travelled With news that have marvelled The thoughtful, the giddy, and gay, ' Now don't be penurious And think it injurious, The carrier a quarter to pay. Start not at this dun Every year I make one, My visits fium up fifty-two, . ; Both husband and bride I bound to with pride, Then give me a quarter, oh 1 do. Bat less I'll receive If you should believe . A quarter too much to bestow, But no less than a dime Can I take at this time, Farewell ! to my work I must go. lYiilitary Tribunals. The Supreme Court of the United States have declared military tribunals unconstitu tional, in a decision recently made in a case tried before that body. Of the unconstitu tionality of the courts-martial and military commissions organized for the trial of civil and so-called political offences, no jurist or individual, of even mediocral calibre ever doubted, and their existence under the ad ministration of Mr. Lincoln has done more toward fastening upon the characters of the chief officers of our government during his administration the repulsive epithet3 of des pots and tyrants, than all their other official acts combined. The "little bell" of the Secretary of State, by which he boasted he would consign any citizen to a bastile, was a death-knell to personal liberty, and a stigma upon American government. But it wa3 upheld as a "military necessity" by every super loyal villain who "supported the gov ernment" as a means of help.' Of the ille gality of military tribunals little evidence was ever pretended by its advocates, who, as a general thing, pleaded their existence merely as a military necessity. Now that the war is over it is a hopeful omen to see the highest judicial tribunal of the land make this great stride to the old constitutional po sition that the "military is subservient to the civil law," for the assertion of which our armies lost their ablest general, and law abiding citizens were stigmatized as "copper heads" by the malignant and cowardly pimps of a usurping military tyrant This decision of the Supreme Court is not only a most just and convincing vindication of the position of the Democratic party dur ing the war, but it is an equally damning proof of the usurpation, tyranny and des potism of the imbecile and reckless adminis tration of Abraham Lincoln under the whip of New England puritanical destructionists. Forney's Pi css of the 20th in'st, contains a suggestive comment upon the decision of the Supreme Court The language here suggested as an argument against the deci sion, is most conclusive evidence that the writer properly conceives the real charac ter of the man which that journal has so elaborately applauded as a statesman, and around whose memory it has attempted to throw the halo of martyrdom. In speaking of Justice Davis in connection with tba de cision, the Press says: "This distinguished juri was the trusted and bosom friend of Mr. Lincoln and should be among the most earnest guardians of his fame. He is the executor ef his estate, and received the high office he holds from his hands j and yet we now find him standing over his grave, and declaring, in effect, not only that this, his own faithful friend and the nation's martyr President, was a felon and an outlaw in his usurpations, but that even the officers of the Government who aided in punishing his murderers are them selves murderers for haying done so. Such would seem to be an inexorable sequence from the decisi6n as reported' And so it ts the "inexorable sequence," and it will be the inexorable decree of the American people and historians after half of the many acts of tyranny, murder and crime of Lincoln's rule are buried ia obliv ion. Josh Billings on Owls. Josh Billings says of owls: Burds is God's choristers. Tew the lion he gave majesty; tew the elephant strength ; tew the fox cunning ; and tew the tiger deceit But to the burd.s, his pets, he gave only buty and song. And none so blest as the owL The owl is a game burd; he can whip anything that wears feathera after dark. He is a wise burd, and hoots at most things. He is a eollem burd, a cross between a justice f the peace and a county supervi sor. He is a stiff burd, and sits up as stiff as an exclamation point He is a luxurious burd, and feeds on spring chickens. He is a long-lived burd, and never was known to take deth naturally. He is a hardy burd, and groze tuff by bileing. He is an honest burd, and alwuz shows an open countenance. He is a prompt burd, and satisfize at onct his outstanding bill. ' fc He is a comfortable burd, and alwuz sleeps in feathers. . , Heiaan attentive burd, and dunn the day can always be found in. v He is a festive burd, and don t come home till morning. .... . . , , Thus the owl is a mistaken emblein ot sol f ra diff into his 'nature nUuiw ; -rnnliAtiraliv one or the boys, ana VlVJViJ niiji i miiiiiM i it MMwE.aBBBaBsaeweni Plain Talk with a Radical. Sit down, my good man, on that lo on the fence on the wall you are building on the counter on the plow beam on the an vil block Jn the board-pile or whatever you can rest on a few minutes from toil, and we will talk as reasonable men should talk, al beit in homely style. You do not like me. You do not like Democrats. You hate us yet we do not hate you. It is true we dis like your ideas. And we will tell you why. Your radicalism of puritanical priestcraft leading you slaves to an aristocracy at the expense of labor. You forget facts and fall in love with absurd theories. You lack dis cretion, aud run wild after new issues, partly from envy, partly from love of novelty and excitement partly in hope of making a liv ing without work, or getting into some little office. Before radicalism and abolitionism cursed this country, we were happy and pros perousa united, working, willing people, with good laws, light taxes, peace, security, prosperity and brotherly feeling. . Abolition agitators began educating the people to hate each other. Ministers of the gospel forgot Christ for the negro ; for new ideas with our people are too popular for men so-called Christians to resist The South never had warred upon you. Her slaves were better cared for than the factory operatives of New England, or the poor of Northern cities. They were better off a3 slaves than they now are asfreedmen. They supported themselves now you sup port them in their disease, filth, poverty,and degradation, and bury them when they die. Will you tell us frankly if the doctrine of abolition has proved a benefit to the blacks of the South, or the laboring tax-payerb of the North ! If so, where, when, and how ? We do not feci angry ; do not wish to be ug ly, but you remind us of the man who was well, and wanted to be better, so he took physic, and died. Your people came into power crying reform, retrenchment, free pre.'s, free speech, and a free people. Now, let us see. Your reform was in theory, nev er in practice. What reform have you ever made ? Whom have you benefitted ? Our taxes arc higher. Our means to pay are les?. Yoa ruined eleven States in the effort to util ize a silly theory. You destroyed the news paper offices of the country, unless their ed itors would cringe at your crazy bidding. You went mad, drunk, reckless with power. You mobbed the defenceless. You battered down the printing offices, which are the sig nal towers on the wall of liberty. You shot people on the streets. You put men in pris on, and did not dare to give them trial. You dragged the ermine of justice at the tail of your politics. You incited soldiers to do acts they and you are ashamed of. You advocated on the streets, in cars, boats, stage?, and in your family circles; you advocated from your crazy presses, from your pulpits, in your meetings for prayer and praise, in your lady sewing society meetings, and even at the grave, the necessity of doing mob violence to those who would not, because they could not agree with you. You taught soldiers to abuse, terrify and murder defenceless citizens in the name of loyalty. You endorsed theft, swindling, trickery and dishonesty in army officers. You upheld the giving of swindling contrctas to relatives of Cabinet officers, as if the public treasury was a trough from which every hog was entitled to swill. You taught your min isters of religion to dabble in the pool of politics. You, in the name of God, morality, Chris tianity, loyalty and patriotism, committed thousands of wrong, wicked acts. You en dorsed all the wrongs, abuses, corruptions, delinquencies, extravagances, malfeasances and trifling of the late administration. You claim to be living members of a Mor ality party, yet stooped to every wickedness, employed all sorts of wicked tools to do your work, and to-day have for your leaders the most wicked, corrupt dishonest, diseased, recklecs, extravagrnt, licentious, people-robbing men in the world. You sent men to war to maintain the Un ion ; you mortgaged the property of these men while absent to shield yourself from successive calls for troops ; you exempted the rich from taxation and filled their pock ets with United States non-taxable bonds, while the poor men were fighting your bat tics, and now compel these same poor men to labor to support the rich ones they peril led their lives for. You gave commissions to weak-kneed Democrats, a3 a reward for endorsing, for the time, your principles and administration' you bribed men to sell their principles you bought men to sacrifice the interests of the laboring men, and gave your highest of fices and best gifts to those who could wallow closest to the bottom of the radical cesspool. You are so blinded by hate, prejudice and overstrained zeal that you now war upon a people you conquered by force of numbers, and not bv an excess of personal bravery. You deprived people of what you would not be deprived of. You are educating your children to be hateful, spiteful, sectional in their ideas, narrow-minded in their states manship, and every way unworthy of the name of American citizens. You go on in extravagance, piling up debts for the labor ing man to pay. You incur debt by the thou sands of millions, for the poor foreigner.who comes here to find a home, and who did not help to make the late war, to be taxed to pay for it You insult the white troops by saying they could not hate conquered the South, and subjugated that country, had it not been for the help of negro troops. And you in sult every man who fought, when you say the years of blood we have passed jthrough You seek to make poor men support rich; to make labor the slave of capital ; to leave a most enormous legacy of debt for our chil dren to pay ; our innocent children, who are guiltless of causing the war, which did not benefit any one but thieves, speculators and contractors. And all this, my radical friend, because you are tired of Democracy, simply because it was a doctrine of peace, plenty, prosperity and Unionism. This is a part of the chapter, a few of the reasons why we do not like Radicalism. As a man we like you, but as a politician we dislike you, or any man who seeks to build up and maintain a mon eyocracy, an extravagance in Government, a sectional spirit and a disregard to Constitu tional obligations in antagonism to the spirit and welfare of our people. And now we will listen to what you have to say in self-defence, and, if your record ia clear, we want it. The Return of Constitutional Liberty. That single sentence in the late decision of the Supreme Court with reference to mil itary commissions, "The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, in war as well as in peace," heralds the return of constitu tional liberty to tho people of this nation. Ever since the breaking out of the rebellion that doctrine has been denied by the party in power. They have maintained the posi tion that in time of war the Constitution was not to be considered as of binding ef fect, if its provisions conflicted with the no tions or ideas of the dominant political party. They set up the dogma of "military neces sity," and under that principle proceeded to usurp all power, both in the nation and in the several States. That platform of "mil itary necessity" was wide enough to hold all those who were opposed to the freedom of speech, a free press, or a free ballot Upon the plea of military necessity, courts of jus tice were entered by armed soldiers, and judges were torn from the bench and im mured in prison. Under the same plea, writs of habeas corpus were disregarded, and punishment made to depend upon the will of one man. Printing offices were closed, papera discontinued, and editors arrested by an application of the same principle. In all parts of the North, men were seized without summons, warrant, or process, their stores and houses searched, and their per sons incarcerated. They were denied coun sel or communication with their friends. More than this, under the same power, men were tried before tribunals unknown to the Constitution and laws of the land, and some were imprisoned, some banished, and others executed. This was what was done by the Radicals under their doctrine that the Con stitution is not the supreme law of the land, in war as well as in peace. From this long catalogue of crimes com mitted under the plea of "military necessi ty" in States remote from the scene of actual conflict, and when the courts of law were open, and the course of justice unimpeded, the lovers of civil law and constitutional su premacy can now turn to the recent decision of the Supreme Court and its effects. The great writ of habeas corpus is now in power in the land. It can open the doors of the prison and let light and hope into the dun geon of the captive. American citizens can no longer be torn from their families by the sound of a bell, banished to gratify a politi cal rival, or made to mount the scaffold to insure the success of a political part. They 1.1. can demand a trial pyjury, ana mat de mand will be enforced. That jary also must be selected in accordance with the civil law. Military slaughter-houses have had their day. Insulting, and maltreating, and tor turing suspected persons will no longer to permitted. The rights guaranteed to all American citizens must be respected. Until proved guilty, all are considered innocent, .11 i.i. t i Kays the Jaw, ana tnat principle, reversea during the reign of Radical misrule and in tolerance, will be enforced now under the dispensation of haw and constitutional lib erty, as proclaimed by the Supreme Court. If a man is guilty, he can be punished. But it must be in accordance with law. No spy or informer, no canting hypocrite, can drop the ballot of condemnation in the "Lion's Mouth," as under the Yenitian dynasty, and thus gratify at once private hate and politi cal dislike. The Supreme Court has de clared that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, in war as well as in peace, and from this day a new departure will be taken in the administration of law through out the nation. But thero is another view to take of this declaration of the Supreme Court Its light is shed with glorious radiancy npon the path that leads into the future. Does it not at the same time illuminate the dark and murky past, and allow the friends of justice to see how crime may be brought to the bar of justice, and properly, constitu tionally and legally punished? Military commissions, which deprived citizens of their rights of trial by jury, have been-pronouced unconstitutional and illegal. They stand upon the same footing as "Lynch courts," by which men have been murdered. There is not now and never was any law for either, and the men who sat upon the commissions to try Vallandigham or Milligan, in law, oc cupy the same position that those persons do who have pronounced the death sentence upon a fellow-being from tho bar-room of a Western tavern or the deck of a Mississippi flat boat Where citizens have been im prisoned by the decrees of these illegal mil itary tribunals, it is a case of false imprison mentwhere executions have followed, the crime of rcurder rests upon the consciences of the men compering the military Lynch equityi and in law. In England the Mili tary Governor of a Province was tried, con victed and executed for inflicting the death penalty upon a soldier in accordance with" the sentence of a commission which had no power to try such cases, and in this country the law will lay its heaviest and surest pen alty upon the members of a Lynch court by which a man has been murdered without trial. The blood of any person shed by or der of these illegal and unconstitutional mil itary tribunals rests upon the heads of those composing the commissions, and under the late decision the avenger will be upon their tracks until justico is appeased, and the past redeemed from the stain which misrule, dis respect for law, and wilful disregard for hu man life and liberty, have placed upon it It is such facts and considerations as these that lie at the bottom of the attacks now making upon the Supreme Court, Stanton, k aud Burnside, and Hooker, and Hunter and Potter, an! Wallace, and their brother "Lynchers," Bee the dock of a criminal court in the future, and hence they hound on their political friends in this crusade upon the chief judicial tribunal of the land. But it is in vain. They must meet the issue. The people will sustain the Supreme Court, and under their decision the aggrieved party or their friends can have justice. How far special enactments can shield a culprit from the effects of crime, remains to be seen. It has been and will be again attempted, But, then, such laws, like all others, are open to revision and correction by the Supreme Court, and this last refuge of constitutional liberty has proved to be a sheet anchor to steady the ship of state in the storm of an archy and lawlessness which now prevails. The annoucement that the Constitution is tho supreme law of the land, in war as well as in peace, covers all that is required in order to allow the conservative element of the country to reassert ita supremacy, and this will be done if the people are true, to themselves at this crisis. Age. "Whining" Women. Brigham Young, of Utah, has been blowing up the women of that free-and-easy Territory in a manner at once awful and unique. He accuses them of "whining," and says tliat they must either "etop that sort of nonsense" or eLe start for the other side of Jordan, at once and he tells his own forty wives that he means THEM, as well as the rest of the feminine Utahyans. He eays that the kernel of the whole difficulty the direct occasion of the disagreeable and unbearable "whinings" lies in the fact that 'the women expect too much of the Saints 1' He says that the women even bis own for -ty are so weak minded as to suppose that the saintly elders of the Mormon Israel can make a heaven on earth for them and that after a woman has entered a Saint's family, and finds that after all he is not able to make a heaven on earth for . her, the begins to "whine" and talk about "too many wives," and the "evils of polygamy," and such like "blasphemous twaddle." Brigham also says it is his opinion that any woman who ever lived would be disappointed in the best "Saint" in Utah, should she marry him and on this point we unreservedly agree with Brigham. The Governor gave all the wo men warning that two weeks from date of his sermon against "whining," he should call upon them either to promise never to , "whine" more, or else to leave the Territo ry! bag and baggage, saying that he would even send off all his own wives, and go to Heaven alone, sooner than take such a "whining" crew along with him. We shall await the next news from Utah with deep interest 5?" The Mischief of Passion. "Will putting one's self in a passion mend the mat ter ?" said an old man to a boy, who had picked"up a stone to throw at a dog. The dog only barked at him in pla$ "Yes, it will mend the matter," said the passionate boy, and quickly dashed the btone at the dog. The animal, ""thus enraged, sprang at the boy, and bit his leg ; while the stone bound ed against a shop-window, and broke a pane of glass. Out ran the shopkeeper, and 6eized the boy, and made him pay for the broken pane. He had mended the matter, finely, indeed ! It never did, and it never will, mend a matter to get into a passion about it If the thing be hard to bear when you are calm, it will be harder when you are in a passion. If you have met with a loss, you will only increase it by losing your temper. Try to be calm, especially in trifling troub les, and, when great onC3 come, try to bear them bravely. gy The procession of the so-called mass welcome to Congress was confined almost en tirely to the negroes. When it passed Wil lard's there were not forty white men, and as it neared the Capitol the white men be came less and the negroes greater in num bers. .In front of the Capitol, where the wel come took place, a most ludicious scene was presented in the turbaned heads of the ne gresses and the variegated costume of the freedmen, lounging in carriages, or mounted on cart horses. The absence of nearly all the white element made the welcome a verv tame affair. The banquet wa3 not very fully attended. 85. Mrs. Moore, residing in Jeffeisoo county, Ky., last Wednesday carelessly left a flask of powder on the mantel piece, and her two children, one aged about six and the other four got hold it in her absence, put it in the fire, and of course, their eyes were i
