Happy New Year to all .
. - I greet with my call, . ' '
1 1 The friends of Democracy's Star . " -
Sixty-six having passed,
Sixty-seven at last . . r . . .
"Has appeared -without even a jar.
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:

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
