THE TIDES.
IT WILLIAM CULLIWBUTLIT
The moon is ►t her full, and, riding high,
Floods the calm fields with light,
The airs that hover in the summer sky,
Are all asleep to-night.
There comes no voice from the great woodlands
round,
That murmur d all the day; •
Beneath the shadow of their boughs, the ground,
Is not more still than they.
Bat ever heaves and groans the restless Deep;
His raising tides I bear,
Afar I see the glimmering billows leap;
I see them breaking near,
Each ware springs upward, climbing toward
the fair,
Pure light that sits on high—
Springs eagerly, and faintly sinks to where
The mother watcn lie.
Upward again It swells; the moonbeams show,
Again, its glimisering crest ;
Again it feats the fatal weigbt below,
And sinks, but not to rest.
Again, and yet again • until the Deep
Recalls his bi ood of waves;
And with • sullen moan, abashed, they creep
Back to his inner cares.
rzief respite; they shall rush from that recess
Wia. noise and tumult soon,
And ding theztstlres, with unavailing stress,
Up toward the ph:cid mood.
Oh, restless Sea, that in thy prison here
Dost struggle and complain ;
Through the slow centuries yearning to be near
To that fair orb in rain.
The glorious source of Eght and heat mustwarm
Thy bosom with his glow,
Aad on those mounting wares a nobler form
And freer life bestow.
Then only may they leave the waste of brine
In which they welter here.
And rise above the hills of mirth and 'Line
In a serener sphere.

United States. Hear what Win": H. Seward
said in a speech delivered 11 him at Boston,
only a few days ago 3
What a commentary upon the wisdom of
man ;if given in this single tact, thi:
. fifteen
years only after the death of John Qmivq , Ad

'hurled hiss from poster and from place. are

Says the Cincinnati Enquirer:
" This is unmitigated Abolitionism—an
Abolitionism that contemns and repudiates
the Constitution of the United States, and is
governed by a higher LAW than that instru
ment. Seward vouches for Lincoln. fde

country four millwns of free nesrrocs P
Lincoln trartasked by his Friends.
"1 have aluaya listed slaiery, I think, as
much as ♦NY aouvo.isr. " —Abe Lincoln.
While the repay'rani* Abolition press is
doing its utmobt to conceal the real sentiments
of their "CNctm Aim," it is well that LIN
COLN'S friends in the North are determined
that he shall not be misunderstood or.ender
rated among his "ultra" supporters. cor
respondent t• f a New York paper, in speaking
of the pretended candilate of the Gsavasox
Abolition" party, says :
"Gerritt Smith spent an hour with me the
other day. and among other things commend
atory of Mr. Lincoln, said he was a pure Ab
olitionist at heart, ond he was very arixioua
that he ghoul , ' lie elected. I, too, am au Ab
olitioni•t. of the old school ; and rhall nut on
ly vote for Lincoln, but agree with Mr. Smith
that every good man should desire his election.
It Mr. Smith does not vote fur Mr. Lincoln
be assured he will nut vote against him ; fur
though his notions are somewhat peculiar in
the matter of voting, he will net er vote a
gainbt the ardent wis,iee of his heart."
This will show the "conservatism" of the
man who wants the votes of Pennsylvanians,
as accessary to his election.
Abuse of Public lan.
If those who are daily railing the President,
or some member of his Cabinet, find them
selves likely to exharuts their stock of inv.°.
Lives, they can renew their supply by the
study of certain productions of their prede
cessors in the same vile 'xisiness. In a pub
lication now hefore us, issued in 1800, we tind
WASHINGTON charged with having "em
bezzled tike public stoney," with being"bancing-
ZY petjarm•l," being "a Aypocrile,y and with
having "sacrificed at dearest rights of his
country ;" while the incumbent President was
assailed for "Aaaing completed lAe scene of ig

Whereas, The experience of the past and

wise and beneficent policy of the General Gov

duties on such products of foreign nations as
come in such direct contact with those of our
own country, as to injure mild prostrate the
trade in our own soil, and among our own

of other nations ; but more especially to urge
an increase of duties on coal and iron. in

The Apostle of Humbug.
That wonderful politi:al anomaly, Morton
M'Micbael, who supports Lincoln, but cannot
find time to talk about the slavery question,
appeared at Lancaster, in company with Wil
mot, Stevens and Carl Schur:, who cannot
find time to talk about anything else but
slavery. Mr. M'Michael was, as usual,
very great on the Tariff and exceedingly
little in some of his personal allusions to Ileo
ry D. Foster. We take the following as a
specimen of his Tariff reasoning:
" What then could the Governor of Penn
sylvania do, unless he was linked with a par
ty who are tied to the principles which their
leader intends to enforce? (Crietof "that's
so" and cheers.) We must inaugurates. par
ty pledged to the principles we wish toestab
lish. Is the Democratic party so pledged?—
No. By the whole course of its own action
it is plAged against such principles. The
Cinciunuti plat forw proclaimed fora free trade.
A free trade would ruin Pennsylvania. That
is the party to which Mr. Foster belongs.
"On the other hand, the People's party
and Mr. Curtin an both pledged to this great
principle of protection. (Cheeri.) They
avowed it in Congress and everywhere."
In answer to this, we ask whether tke Re
publican party, whose candidates Mr. M'Mi
cher.' and Mr. Curtin support, are tied to
Tariff principles which their leaders intend
to enforce? The leaders of the Republican
party in New York placed Wm. C. Bryant,
another leader, at the head of the Republican
electoral - ticket, a post of honor and influent's ;
and Mr. Bryant is not only an open, avowed
free trader, but be boldly maintains that the
Republican party is not-ia favor of a Tariff
for protection, that it dare not embrace pro
teethe doctrines, and that the resolution in
the Chicago platform, which Mr. WMichael
relies upon, means notideg like protection.
It was after Mr. Bryant bad declared these
anti-Tariff opinions that the Republicans of
New York elevated him to the place of honor
on their electoral ticket—and yet Mr. McMi
chael has the courage to assume that he is
linked to a party whose leaders intend to en
force protection.
But Mr. ld'ilicheel ha. a wonderful fond
ness fur involving himself in. contradictions.
Although he talht for Lincoln, and takes off
his coat fur Lincoln, he hrs a great aversion
to being called a Republican, but prefers to
hide himself behind the " People's party,"
which, he says, is "pledged to the great
princtple of, protection." It is surprising
that any respectable man should attend to
palm this counterfeit upon the people as gond,
sound political currency, when he knows that
the " People's party" sold out to the Republi
sans when it submitted to ignonlineue insult
at Citicageand agreed to support the Repuldi
can candidate for President. We would be
obliged to Mr. Id:Michael, or Mr. Curtin,
er any other " People'. party" humbugger,
if he would inform us whether the " Peo
ple's party" has a National organisation
distinct from the Republican ; and whether
a party with only • local organisation which
supporta the candidate of the Republican
party upon the platform of the Republican
party, does not thereby ,beeome merged in,
and part and parcel 4 that party. Let
things be called by their right names.—
Americanism was one of the constituents of
the " People's party," and yet Mr. Curtin
dare not advocate a single distinctive doe
trine of the American party while be stands
upon the 14th plank of the Chicago platform.
Tbere is something so disingenuous, so ab
solutely cowardly, in a man of Mr. Arldiedt
eel's standing going about the country sup
porting Republican candidates and Republi
can principles, while be denies the very name
of Republican, and attempts to ignore or ob
scure the very principles upon which that
party is founded, that the spectacle excites
feelings of surprise at his assurance and pity
for his suleerxieney.—Tatrint & 1111i0/6.
Another Black Republican Orator in the
Field.
Thanks to our brethren of the Lincoln
tribe! Thank* to Old Abe and all his Rail
aplitters, his Wide-awakes and tin lamp car
riers Thanks to Heaven that, " whom the
Gods will to destroy they first make mad."
Thrnks, finally, wherever thanks are due,
that, thror.gh the orators whom the Republi
cans are rapidly bringing into the canvass,
the true sentiments of the party .are fast
tweaking out. Following on the heels of Carl
Shun, comes Mr. Cowan, of Westmoreland,
who, in a recent speech at Greensburg—we
quote from the Argus—said:
" Cod send that the day man soon rome when
the Supreme Court of the United States may
be wiped out."
" Ile extolled the doctrines contained in
Helper's book, in most extravagant terms,
And traduced the memory of such men as
Washington,Jefferson and JAckson,by stating
that the book consisted chiefly of extracts
from their writings and speeches. He eulo
gized the memory of old. John Brown, iu
glowing colors, and dwelt with much appa
rent feeling upon his misfortune. He stated
that John Brown was a Godly man, who read
his Bible, and left the audience to draw the
inference that as a matter of course he walk
ed uprightly. The 'only mistake' of his life
was 'made in the belief, that the time had
come for the Black man of the south to break
his chains and assert hl. fieedona.'"
What next? In the name of patriotism
what ars we to look for from the orator who
shall follow Mr. Cowan 1 If such things are
seen in-the green tree, what must we look for
in the dry ? If, before the election, such
horrible sentiments are uttered, what attoci
ty of sentiment and action may we not look
fur from Lincoln's administration, if Heaven,
io its wrath, has ordained his election

TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR
To the Democracy of Adams County.
Yellow Democrats :—I called your attention
last week to the fact, that it is the mission of
the Democratic party to step in between the
enemies of the constitution and the sacred in
strument itself. in the present crisis, and repel
with an unbroken front their treasonous as
units upon it. I hare adverted to the undeni
able truth also that this time-honored party
has interposed its saving hand at several pe
riods of our history and has rolled buck the
tides of fanaticism, of treason, and approach
ing ruin.
She has under the banner of virtue, liberty
and independence, and the constitution of our
country in her band, invariably succeeded in
overwhelming the sentiment* at variance with
a tree i/eumeratie governtnenkand in doing so
righteous a work, it was accomplished by open
and honest appeals to the intelligence of the
people. No absolute dictator at the -bead of
his army forced principles upon us that were
calculated to curtail the rights orour country
men. No usurper in the presidential chair has
through personal ambition or vain glory re
commended a principle or law, and forced them
through the halls of Congress to opposes our
people and drain the sabot Ince from them.
No, my friends, at the It:augur:den of every
crusade against the equal rights of our people,
in every instance where treason raised het
bloody hands to grasp the wheels of govern
ment, and the axe to cut the cord that binds us
in one happy union, this good old party to which
you and I belong, faithful to Its mission always
as if under the guidance of the Supreme hand,
raised her standard, and placed upon it her
motto in letters so gtaring and brilliant, as to
attract the attention of every citizen of the gov
ernment, and of mankind in all civilised por
tions of the world.
We have mada issues of questions which were
to our minds surti-repablicart. and dangerous,
and controverted them with — a
perseverence
that can challenge the•admiretion of the lading
statesmen of the world.
We have grasped them wither comprehensive
ness equalled only by the master minds that
comprehend the beautiful maclinery of self
government, and analyzed them openly before
our own people and the world, discarding eve
ry ingredient treasonable in its nature ; neither
have we appealed to the low. r passions of our
race to digest these issues, to build up or to
break down.
In all these conflicts we hare triumphantly
succeeded, but not without occasional reverses;
yqthe spark, as vital as the blood that flows in
the veins, bunted upon the world in due time
and dispersed the clouds that wild enthusiasm
had spread before us.
The Bank of the united States, which had
grampetthe currency of the country, and wield
ed a power over the commercial relations of
our people, such only as the despot exercises
over his subjects, fell before the power of Geti,.
eral Jackson, who it seemed alone could see
present the evils, and ultimate consequences,
of a great aristocratic m',nied power placed
chiefly in the bards of foreign millionaires.
.This struggle of the Democraticarty against
the mammoth monied aristocracy nds upon
the pages of our political histo the most
r k a
brilliant achievement that aver adorned the pa
ges of political acknee, and the old hero, the
patriot, the statesman stands there as a great
deliverer of his countrymen from efiLs which
foreshadowed oppression and rein.
The order of Know Nothings was the next
to call forth the attention, and demand the say
ing interposition of the Democratic party, and
again, true to her faith, she, with a deter
mination peculiar to herself, tossed the accurs
ed institution into the whirlpool of abomina
tions. In this triumph whist treason, against
midnight conspiracy, the Democratic party has
proven again her attachment to the constitn
tine and the laws, and that proscribed people
who took refuge under her wings will I hope
ever be witnesses to tb.e truth.
Thisluttempt to force and bend the public
sentiment of a free and independent people,
whose liberties were purchased by the blood of
all classes of Christian believers, has no paral
lel in the history of our government.
The alien and sedition laws, the Hartford
Convention, the monster Bank and the Abolition
conspiracies of the North combined, are not to
be compared to the high-banded treason com
mitted in the dens of this order. In direct con
flict with the institutions of our country, and
the intent of its founders, this high handed
measure was conceived, and about to be forced
into practical operation for the wicked purpose
of disfranchising one portion of our people, and
of preventing another from holding any office
of trust or profit under the government of the
United States. Although it met with that re
buke at the bands of the Democratic party,
which its hideousness deserved, yet its short
duration left its sting behind it, having poison
ed the minds of many of ot r people, against the
two classes of citizens at whom she directed
her forces, as proven by the bloody riots at
Baltimore and Louisville. The different low,
organised bands under the names of Plug 14-
lies, Rip Baps, Blood Tubs, and such like,
were the legitimate offspring of Know Nothing
ism, and had it not been for the timely aid of
the Democratic party, riot, bloodshed and civil
war, such as history never yet recorded, would
have been the consequence. It is an easy mat
ter to see whet would have been the conse
quences, had our party engaged in the same
unrighteous crusade against Catholics and
foreigners. These proscribed people would
have fallen the eafortunate victims of passion,
—intemperate, dangerous sad wicked passions.
The ascendency of inch principles in this
country, where liberty and independence are
the boasted elements, would have brought us
in conflict with all civilized nations, and would
have proved our professions hypocritical, and
our Institutioos a farce.
Bach a victory over the wicked purposes of
stanklad as that of the Democratic party over
I*lw Not/deems, is in point of magnitude
without II parallel, and diatheses the admira
tion of every lover of ghee government& For
ebb ow achievement alone the Democratic par

Andiew G. Curtin the Candidate of I Se
cret Order—The Plot Unfolding.
Several weeks before the assetuliling of the
Republican Convention of Pennsylvania, in
Februaii last, the well informed Washington
correspondent of ate Na•th Americas, who
was favorable to the nomination of John Co
rode for Governor, intimated atm, there was
&secret organization throughout this State
working for the nomination of Andrew G. Cur
tin. The disclosure suited much comment
at the time, and causedlto little bitterness
among the friends of the rival candidates,
who freely denounced Curtin's secret ma
chinery forfurcing himself upon the party and
nadermining his rivals. Since that time the
matter was forgotten in the bustle and oonfu
lion of the campaign. until a correspondent.
who appears to have been in the secret of this
dark transaction again directs our atteutiea
The secret society through whose agency
Curtin procured his noininatiun is called the
0 .1,7711.AT1 07 , COLUMBIA." Our oorteepon•
cleat requests an to put the following qua tione
to Mr Curtin
Are you not a member of the secret order
similar to the Know-nothings, working ow
der the name of the Literati of Columbia?
Did you not receive the nomination for
t overnor of the same order, on Tuesday ev
ening the 17th of January, 1860, iu the up
per mo o r in Brant'a Ball, in llarri burg ; and
did not your friends pledge themselves at the
same meeting to secure your nomination on
the 22d of February at the State Convention ?
Was nut your nomination by the State Con
vention ratified by the same Order on Thurs
day evening, February 33d, in the same room
In Brant's EL111; and were you not to be these
at that time, but found it convenient to slip
tff to Philadelphia ?
Our correspondent says that if Mr. Curtin
will venture to deny these facts they can be
verified by certain persons whose names are
given—one, an Ex-President of the Order
and other State °fixers. lie also encloses
part of the ritual of this Order of the "Lit
erati of Columbia."
Now, knowing that Mr. Curtin was a lead
ing man among the Know-Nothings, and that
he obtained position through that crcler, it
is not surprising that be should haveisilled
himself to another attire association for the
purpose of being nominated and elected Gov
eerier., There was certainly something suspi
cious in the fact that a man. of Mr.Curtin'e
slender abilities and not very reputable as
anciations, should have been nominated with
so much ease at the State el/Dreg/6cm. It was
evident bre the Convention met that his
friends were thoroughly organized ; and they
always spoke with perfect assurance of his
nominaiton. Weeks before the Convention
they regarded it as a foregone conclusion,
while the uninitiated could not see bow it was
passable. The managing members of the par
ty in the Legislature, men of the most ability
and - the least reputation, were for him to a
man, and of course induced many to support
him who were nut aware of thessecret ma
chinery at work to secure his nomination.
Taking all these facts and circumstances
into consideration, it appears that Mr. Cur
tin is the candidate of a secret Order of poli
tical plotters, and that his election would ele
vate some of the most unscrupulous men in
the State to positions of power and influence,
—Patriot & Union.
The Republican party, through Liscots,
Sntarse and its members of Congress pa
erally, endorsed Helper's book, yes many of
dram deny that they are Abolitionists. Look
at the following, which is amonpt the senti
ments they endorsed :
this extraordinary crisis of tansies, no
man can be a true patriot without first becom
ing sn Abolitionist. A free•soiler is only a
'TADPOLE in an advanced state of Imam
motion ; an ABOLITIONIST is the full and
perfectly developed FROG !"—Helper's Im
pending Crisie, Page 116.
When that book was written The Opposi
tion were in part sailing under tie DiUlle of
free soilers. Now the same division call them
te:ves Republicans. A Republican, therefore
bears the same relation to an Abolitionist
that a tad-pole does to a "perfectly developed
frog." So says_ JOHN Sulam'—so say all
the republican leaders by supporting the men
who endorse the book and its saying. Let the
Opposition of Adams county take heed. lest
they end themselves in an Abolition camp be
fore they know it. Many •of their leaders
are Abolitionists, who sill drive their Party
in that direction as rapidly as they dare.
• Let All working men take heed. Do you
want your workshop' and fields filled with fie
groes ? That will become a practical question
with you, it will be reread upon fob. tf you
