[We Copy the following lines from the Phil l
adelphiiSunerdy iferrory,ttnd commend them
to those who may stare a similar fate in'the
next Republican County Convention.],
Six months ego, with littlect4„
• In'polities I made a drib, ;
Resolving, though I went to smash.
• l'd have the nomination.
I went to work with all my might,
I call'd on friends both day;, and night,
And oft I thought, °Oh, I'm all right"—
Pll get the nomination. •
The friends that brought me in the field
SIM, now, my boy, you must not'yield,
Per boldness is your strongest AIM
To win tbs nominittion.
They also urged another cours e=
Insisted ottit,with WI their torek - - - .-
That I should. get coach and Mime
'And hunt the nomination
I yielded to their argument ;
For coach and horse my money tient,
And every day a delving treat,,
_ To seek the nomination.
I drove through north and eastood, west,
Through all the precincts,'twas tho't best,
And gate myself and horse no rest,
To get the nomination.
My cards -I hang on tavern walls,
4 ad tickets bought for All the ball►,
Took catfish suppers at the "Falls,"
To get the nomination.
Excursions to Atlanai!, made
That I mast go my. friends all said;
Should I refuse, they were afraid
I'd lose the nominatidn
Besides I went from place to place,
The Delegates met face to face,
For thus I thought to wit the race,
And get the nomination.
And often, too, the "hounds" I'd meet,
In dozens walking down the street ;
Of course the party I thug treat,
To get the nomination.
My family was neglected, tao,
I saw them not for whOle-weeke through,
An t all these things I had to do,
To get the nomination.
My business, too, sank eery low,
For cash I knew not where to go,
I thought it would not long leo,
I'd get tho nomi atioo
Thus time roll'd_on-, and so did I
Six months elapsed, my hopeCwere high,
At last this day and.hour drew 'nigh,
To make the nomination.
My friends wero promptly on the ground,
And when my • hopes seemed almost
crowned,
Alas! I to my sorrow found
Td lost the nomination
And now, to those wlio won the flglit,
I give the hand of friendship bright,
White for myself, it served me right ! •
To expect the nomination
And those kinji friends who from thti start
Stood by me, from my inmost heart„!
I thank them for their active . part,
Tho'l lost the 'nomination.
And finally—before I close—
I friends would make of all my foes,
And pledge myielf to •ote,for tbose'
, Who got the'nemination.
With health impaired and_pOohets dry,
I'll rest till three long years roll by,
And then, again, perhaps I'll try
To get the nomination.

Those of our readers who may imagine
that the bigotry • and -intolerance which
characterized the Republican party during
the war was merely an outgrowth ofimod
ern times, are very much mistaken.l 'The
class of men , 1 ho direct the fortunes of
Radicalism havn ever been the sante.—
Hatred of all opinions except their'-own,
intemperate opposition towards all of dif
fering faith, and a zeal to crush down by
passion, ridicule and social influence what
they could not defeat by - argurdent, have
from. Ahe first been" their distinguishing'
peculiarities. As a proof of what we, as-.
Bert, we copy the. following incident :in the
life of
1
Stephen A. Douglas, Which occur-
red im ediately after the plsige of the
Kans Nebraska bill, It is pied from
a work written by .1. Madison Cutts; Esq.,
Mr. Douglas' father-in-law, and is : gives
in the latter gentleman's language.; The
scene of the occurrence was! in Chicago,
at that tune Mr. Douglas' borne :• -
" When I returned to Chicagh,ll wee
met at Buffalo by a friend, who brought
letters from other friends at ChicagOi Pro
testing against my return. and warning
me that I would be inevitably killed if I
did. I insisted upon going, and OW so.—
I arrived there in the .morning: went. to
my hotel, and after a few days, three or
four, issued 'a notice of a speech to be
made by me in front of North' Market
Hall, All the newspapers in the city de
nounced me, and published daily articles
encouraging personal Violence, reminding
the people that in 1850, on the passage of
.the Compromise Measure., I had return
ed and suceeeded'in quelling en outbreak
against those measures, and that this
thing could not be done a second time.—
Know No' thingiem had, pending the Ne
braska bill, been organized in the Cfnitol
States for the first time, and in Chicago
the anti-Nebraska men had organised in
to Know Nothing lodges.: and probably
included within those lodges nice-tenths
of all the men in the city.. It wet ascer
tained that they secretly determined and
bound themselves by their oaths not to
allow me to speak ; and 4is known that
one of these thirty or forty lodges order
ed by telegraph, and recetved by
,express
from New 'York, the night before I was
to speak, two hundred a d fifty of Colt's
revolvers.
' "When the day arrive . the Gags were
hung at half mast on the shipping in the
harbor, and for several hours before the
time appointed allthiechirch bells in - the
m
' -city were tolled, at which signal the mob
I assembled in a force of a ut ten thou
sand. I bad forty or fill i men '-rho pre
tended to be with me privately, but' -not
half a dozen were so opeinly—they were
all .afraid. At the appolted4 hour I re
paired to the meeting an went upon the
stand; and was greeted by that unearthly
yell taught and practiced in the Know
Nothing lodges—a bowl no man can lEllio
tate. 1 stood and looked at the mob un
til the howling ceased. When they ceased
I commenced by saying, that 'I appear be:
foie you tonight for the purpose of . •1111.
dictating the" Kansas-Nebraska Act.' ; Be
fore the sentence was ended the hotel be
gan again._When it teas 1 I would begin,
and as. soon as I comme ced it was re
newed. 'At times I appealed to ' their
pride, as the champion'ofj free apeeck for
a hearing ; the hew' was renewid;. at other
times I would dtlizounee theoi as a Set of
cowards, Who came 'armed with bowie
knives and pistols to putl down one roan

among them who would convinced. .
"At one time ' I get a.' eariog for ten or

GINTLEMAN I ask place in 'your col;
umns for the inclosed. letter to me from
the Hon. Alexander 11. Stephens :
In communicating it to the prees I am
taking a questionable liberty; with him.
for the letter is marked private. .But in
the present circumstances of the country
I think it sol desirable that the people
should know the real temper of the South
that I fet‘l justified in publishing the let
terlrom one who at the outbreak of the
war was the representative 'than of the
Union party of the South, and is-the re
cognized exponent of the Southern sen
timent at this moment.
President Lincoln had great confidence
in Mr. Stephens. lie told me repeatedly
that he had offered him a seat in the dab.
inet; and he retained great regard for
him to the last., •

DIAS SIR: Your letter of the 17th lost.
is before me..
I thank you heartily for it. No man
in the United States did or could more
cordially approve 'and indorse the objects
or the proposed Union _convention at
Philadelphia, as I Understaild them, than
I did, and yet, 'front considetations of
pediency, I dciubt. theyrnpriety of nay

who occupied a similar positiou to my
own, and from other considerations, as
those which had occurred to me. Your
letter has relieved Me from this last class
of doubts, but thine of tne other class
still exist, notwithstanding your strong
views to the , contrary. Individually my
whole soul is enlisted in the cantle of a
speedy, full and perfect restoration of the
government under; the Constitution as it
now stands. There is nothing within my
power that lam not willing cheeifully to
do to accomplish that; end. Indeed, you
will,,excuse me in saying it, but,it, is the
truth. I would be willing to offer my life
itself if by so.doing this great result could
could be attained,; and peace, harmony,
prosperity, happin'ess and constitutional
liberty be, secured to 'the millions now
living, and the untold millions hereafter
to live on this continent. •
, There are many personal embarrass=
itients"or - difficulties in the way of my
goinc to the Convention, Melo I alluded
to before, but I am'resolved to be there if
I can. in no event shall it be truthfully
said of me that I failed to do everything
in my power to save the'country and its
institutions.

utmost extent to avoid the late most la
trientable war:and to serve, the Ifolon.on ,
Constitutional principles. without a oon•
flict of aims. This I did, too, while
many of those now so 'clamorous for what
they call ' the Union cause' were giving
encouragement, at- least, to the extreme
men at the South; by clearly and decid
edly intimating if not fullyexpre.sinst a
perfect willingness on their'part that 'the
Union might slide,' if the people of the
South so willed it.'
I was even taunted with endeavoring to
hold our people on to a Union that was
no 'longer cared for by balding men of the
dominant party at the North. I withstood
these taunts even' when I knew, or was
inform-el, truly as .I belieired, that there
was an organized body of men in Savan
nah to• seize the Custom•Houss, Fort
Pulaski and so forth, in ease the State did
not secede. All this I stated to you and
to,which you allude in 'your letter before
me, nor should I have any heaitizicy in
stating it to the public it any tiublia good
could thereby be effected. The public
good is my only object. How best to sub
!ter*.elhat consistency with truth, honor
and uprightness is the only question with.
Personal interests . have no • influence
with me whatever, at least I think so, and
may be excused for saying so. Had I
been governed by personal feelings ,I
shnuld have had nothing to do with the
late troubles further than entering
earnest protest against them. And had I
been governed by personal feeling I shout
not i novr be to the situation I am. If th
Union shall be restored under the Contd. -
tution, as I earnestly deiire to see it don ,
and am willing to do ill" can toward 1 t
end; it is my fixed purpose to retire fro
all connection with public affairs; so th t
while it would. seem ; that my prate t
efforts are tending to a 'result in which I
have more or less personal interest, tb t
is„ admission admission as a Senator in Congrl;
yet, I assure your I never expect or i -
tend to hold that position long, evert if
the seat should be awarded to me. Truly

Cost of Disunion.
Th - following were the receipts of the
United States from July Ist, 1855, to June
30th,, 1865: Customs, $179,376,878.60;
Lands, $731,529.01 ; Internal Revenue,
$309,510,933.37; direct tax, dre., 14 450,427,-
503.1(i; loans, $620,466,393.05; total,
078,513,347.73. The expendituro were
Civil, foreign and miscellaneous,' 41,017,-
921.85 ; interior, pensions and Indians,
$18,852.457.11; war, $2841449,702.81; navy,
$43,364,118.52; interest on publio debt,
$133,139,359 70; public debt, $370,832,-
443.78; total, 8891,657,002.78. 1 -
It will be perceived that the receipts are
$186,856,344.85 in. excess of the expendi
tures, but the excess is due to loans, with
out which there would have been a deficit
of $335,610,048.20. The combined expenses
of the War and Navy Departmente for the
past year of refound peace have been $327,-
813;828 34 —almost the entire deficit which had
to he made up 6.0' loans
This shows how disastrously the Disu
nion policy of keeping the goiernment
ou a war footing in time of peace is work
ing against the country. And this, too,
notwithstanding the immense sales of mu
nitions of war and government . storee of
2everr kind. According to the disunionist
scheme for a 'standing army this expense
will go on for years to come, requiring ad
elitional loans and' taxation to meet ;the
expense. And this tax is entailed otfthe
taxpayers merely to make it appear !fat
the rebellion is not yet 'suppreaied, and
thus to aid the disunionists in Carrying
out a,'party scheme which will keep Cer
tain demagogues in office and power.: It
is a shameful waste of money', for partisan
purposes, and the soonerit is stopped the
bear.
Accord of Congress.
The Albany Argue eume up the action
of the recent session of Congress, as fol
lows:
They have kept the Union divided, and
have cheated the country out of the legit
imate, fruits of the war.
They have done nothing to lessen the
taxes of the poor man.
They have done nothing to improve•our
finances.
They have passed a Freedmen's Bureau
hill, giving seven millions of dollars to
the radical oversedra and agents of the
negroes.
They have so tampered and tinkered
the Constitution as to almost deitroy that
charter of oar liberties, and haire violat
ed ita express provisions whenever they
found that it obstructed - their illegal
projects.
They have-squandered one hundred and
fifty millions of dollars—the amount paid
by tax over and above the necessary sum
to carry, on the government.
They have been in session eight months
legislating mainly for office-holders, anil
to distribute the public money among
their 'Radical friends.
And yet for this kind of service they
nearly double their own salaries, adding
a-half million of dollars to the taxation of
the country. .
OUR Ftasn, Tony.—lt is . said that in
the Senate and 'holiest' John Covode, the
latter gave a very discouraging account of
General Geary's success in fascinating thsf
good people of Pennsylvania. He found
even the lathe's insensible to his, military
accoutrements' and dccomplishinents.—
Our readers will recall the conversation
on a L similar qubject betweep Fagin and
Bill Sikes, in Mr. Dickens' novel :
_ . _ •
Do.you mean to say, my dear,' remon
strated Fagin, l 'that the women can't be
got over ?'
•Not a bit of it' replied Sikes.
'Not by flash, Toby Crackg ?' said the
Jew, incredulously. 'Think what women
are, Bill.'
'No, not even by flash Toby Crackit,'
replied Sikes. 'lie says he has worn sham
whiskers and a canary waistcoat the whole
blessed time he has been loitering about
here, and it's all of no use.'
'lle should hsve tried moustachios and
a pair of military trowsers, my dear,' said
- Fagin, after a teviAninutes' reflection.
'So he did,' rejoined Sikes, 'and they
warn't of no more use than the other
plan.'
The generals of the regal.. .
'rank in the ordtr of their names in the
following list: General U S Grant, Lieut.
General William T Sherman, Major Gen
erals Henry W Halleck, George G Misde,
Philip H Sheridan . , George Ii Thomas,
Winfield S Hancock; Brigadier Generals
Irwin McDowell, William 8 Hammes,
Philip St. George Cooke, John Pope, Jc
ssph Hooker, John M Ecofield, Oliver 0
!toward, Alfred II Terry, F 0 C-Ord. Of
all these, General Terry, the brilliant cap
tor of Fort Fisher, and faithful command
er, in Virginia, is the only officer drawn
from civil life. All thh others were edu
cated at West Point.

Simon Cameron was a,Democrat, and
not honest while in the ranks of that

"Sir," said Ilr.:§tevens-to . a friend, ”I do
not believe Simon Cameron would steal a

We take pleasure is eommending the above
views to our readers, and endorsing them as
pee eminently; sound. In doing so we take
the occasion to add then: it is not only the
duty of every young man to "learn_ a trade,"
but to learn it Well. Every employer,.no mat

gaged, can apprieelate the force of this advice.
The Humber of half educated, incapable and
almost worthless workmen who are to be found
is surprieing, and seems to us to be every day I
on the increase. In 90 other country than
ours would they be tolerated, and they ere --
only here becituse the demand for labor is ao
much greater than th i' - eupPly that employers
have no otberli•ecourse. The great trouble,
it seems to ns,l is the want of a proper ap
prenticeship system. In Europe every boy ie
obliged to serie an apprenticeship of six or
seven years, and then have a thorough exam
it ation before he is adittitted to the privileges
of a journeymen. Here itie nearly impossi
ble to get a young man to go assn apprentice
at all, and if he does, in nine oases oat of ten, '
he refuses to eerie out the term for which be
engaged. lie is so eager to make money that
he ventures forth into the world es a journey
man before he has hi's trade half learued. The
result is, that heed= commands more than
ordinary wagee, le. regarded as a "bitch,"
and ital Ways uncertain of a situation.- good
workmen, in any line of business; are always
in demand, while poor ones are only em toyed
when necessity requires them to, be. Ameri
can parents are guilty of a grave offence in
not instilling these facts into 'the minds of
their boys. Instead of allowing there to bi
their own masters, to run from place to place
as suita their taste, to attempt, half 'i dozen
trades and become proficient in none, they
should carefully select some pariiCulsr calling
for them, bind !them to it foi a term of years
sufficient to give them a thorough insight into
it, and hold them fast to the obligation until
it is fulfilled. We are aware that these views
will not be popular with many, but they are
the truth, nevertheless, and if they were gen
erally accepted and practised, we would have
fewer poor workmen, abetter stain of relations
between employers and employees, and a
happier condition all around.:

Modern patriotism is a queer thing. For

H. Greeley, said all recently as 1880: " AU
nations have their ,superstitions, and that of

The New York Times (Seward organ,)
closes an artiele on the *future of political
parties,by laying, that, according to all pres

parties, ..as shall meet the new emergencies
of the hour, or a sweeping triumph of the
Democratic tarty in 1868." . • •
