TO DEFEATED CANDIDATES. The following lines, written by the lato George F. Meeser. formerly editor of the Philadelphia Sunday Mercury, who was in 1857 a candidate before the Dominating Con vention for Frothonotary of the District Court, we republish by request, and com mend it to those gentlemen who met a simi lar fate in the late Convention. Ed. Six months ago, with little cash, In politics I made a dash, Resolving, though I went to smash, I'd have the nomination. I went to work with all my nJght, I call'd on friends both daf- ai:d night, And of: I thought, "Oh. i'm all right" I 11 get tLe nomination. The friends that brought me in the field Said, now, my boy, you must not yield, lor boldness i; your strongest shield To win the nomination. They also urged another course Insisted on't with all their force That 1 should get a coach and horse And hunt the nomination. I yielded to their argument; For coach and horse my money spent, And every day a driving went, To seek the nomination. I drove through north and east and west, Tliro' all the precincts (t'wns thought best,) And gave myself and hor. e no rest To get the nomination. My cards I hung on tavern walls, And tickets bought for all the balls. Took catfish suppers at the "Falls," To get the nomination. Excursions to Atlantic made; That I must go my friends all said ; .Should I refuse, they were afraid Fd lose the nomination. Besides, I went from place to place, The Delegates met face to face. Fur thus I thought to win the r ice And get the nomination. And often, too, the "hounds" Fd meet, In dozens walking down the street ; Of course, the party I mu.-t treat, To get the nomination. My family was neglected, too, 1 saw them not for whole weeks through. And all thee things I had to do. To get the nomination. My bii&ir.pps, too, sunk very low, For cash I knew not where to go, I thought it would not long be so, I'd get the nominination. Thus time rolled on, and so did I Six months elapsed, my hopes were high. At last the day and henr drew nigh, To make the nomination. My friends were promptly on the ground, And when my hopes seemed almost crowu'd. Alas! I to my sorrow found. I'd !ost the nominafun. And now, to those who won the fight, I fiivc the hand of friendship bright, 'While, for myself, it served itie right, To expect the nomination. And those kind friends who, from the Start Stood by mc, from my inmost heart I thank them for their active part, Tho' I lost the nomination. And finally before I close I friends would make of all my foes. And pledge myself to vote for those Who got the nomination. "With health impaired and pockets dry, I'll rest till three long years roll by, And then again, perhaps, I'll try To get the nomination. The Veto Message. As was to be expected, the second edi tion of the odious rreedmen s Bureau bill has been returned to Congress with the President's objections. The message re citing these objections is clear and convinc ing to every unprejudiced mind. At the moment of its presentation Congress was evidently m a particular bad humor to wards the President. The proceedings of the conspirators caucus, Saturday night, did not help to put it in a good humor. They were greatly irrated against each other, but the President was regarded as a common enemy, and so soon as his veto message on tho Freedmen's Bureau bill was presented, without waiting to consid er any objection, they hurried it through by a two-thirds majority vote. It was no consequence what arguments the message contained. Though the most conclusive ever presented to reasoning men, the re sult would have been the same. The ma jority in Congress had determined to op pose the President, and right or wrong, they were bound to oppose him. There was no necessity even for reading the veto message. No one listened to it. Not one-third of those who voted against it know at this moment what it contained. They made up their minds to oppose the President, and oppose him they did. The majority in Congress was utterly deaf to any reasoning upon any bill they were determined to pass. They had prom ised, if the President vetoed the bill, "they would pass it so quick as to make his head swim." They did pass it so quick ly that tho heads of many who voted for tho ultimate passage of the bill thus in- considerately will swim until thev tret back to their constituents, when they will 5ink forever out of sight and out of mind of the political world, except as notable examples of perversity in sacrificing pub lic interests to private pique. This veto message is one of the plain est, best-considered, and most convincing documents that has emanated from the Ex ecutive office. It treats the subject in a purely constitutional and statesmanlike manner. The bill is objected to as a war measure, warrented only by the existence of a condition of war, and totally inappli cable to a time of peace. It is regarded as altogether unnecessary, as the previous act sufficiently establishing a Freedmen's Bureau has j et time enough to run to car ry it beyond the meeting of the next Con gress, and allow that body then, if deem ed necessary, to provide for its extension. It is objected to as unconstitutional, as it provides for the creation of military tribu nals, and their substitution for the ordi nary civil tribunals, in a time of peace. The message recites the fact that the Fed eral and State Courtsare in practical ope rat:on in all the States in winch this Freedmen's Bureau tribunal proposed to be established and rendered permanent for three years longer ; that the constitutions and laws recently adopted by these States afford ample protection to the Frcedmen, and the establishment of this Bureau will only provide and occasion a confict of au thority that may lead to serious results ; that the civil rights bill, which has be come a law without the Executive sanc tion, iu itself aflbrds all the preelection of the negro that can possibly be deshed ; and that, in addition to the objections to this measure upon the score f economy, as a wasteful expenditure of public money, without any corresponding benefit to the negro race, hnd as an incentive to dishon est speculation on the part of public offi cers, this sortf of class legislation is uncon stitutional, anti-republican, and subversive of the most sacred principles of our form of government. 1 will be a source of regret to the peo ple, who will have to pay for this worse than useless luxury ef a Freedmen's Bu reau, that Congress has acted so hastily in passing this bill over the objections of the President. The time is not far dis tant when the whole country will see, and understand, and appreciate the well-found ed objections the President has urged against the measure. Even the members of Congress who have just now thus in considerately voted for it will then be held to a strict accountability by their constit uents, and the patriotism of the President will be fully vindicated. National Intel ligence r. From a Doomed Man- Watson the professional burglar, and murderer of Capt. Menter, who is to be hung on the 31st day of next month, sent recently, per Adams Express, to the Clerk of Perry county, Indiana, a package containing a letter and the revolver with which the murder was committed. In the course of his operations last Spring. Watson enter ed the residence of the clerk above ment ioned for the purpose of obtaining his keys and robbing the safe. Gaining access to the sleeping apartment of the clerk, he found, sleeping soundly and entirely with out suspicion of harm, the husband, wife, and infant child. Turning the light of his "glim" around the room the guilty "crossman" noticed, on the table, a load ed revolver. He looked at the weapon and then at the sleeping child and mother, and thought that if in the course of the search for the keys he should wake the fa ther, he might have to murder them all in order to escape. Dreading such work, he quietly took the revolver and left the house ; and with this revolver he murder ed Captain Mentor. The letter accom panying tho weapon contained a statement from which we have gleaned the above mentioned facts. Whisky axi Nkwsiwfkiis. An ex change paper in discussing the relative merits and estimated value of these two articles, says : A glass of whisky is man ufactured from perhaps a dozen grains of corn, the value of which is too sma.l to be estimated. " A glass of this mixture sells for n dime, and if of a trood brand u j9 considCred well worth the money. It is drank in a minute or two. It fires the brain, sharpens the appetite, deran ges and weakens the physical system. On the same side board on which the del eterious beverage is served, lies a news paper. It is covered with half a million of type it brings . intelligence from the four quarters of the globe. The news paper costs less than the glass of grog the juice of a few grains of corn, but it is no less strange than true that there is a large number of people who think corn juice is cheap and newspapers dear. To Make Hope Pliaule. Considera ble difficulty is sometimes experienced in handling new rope, on account of stiffness. This is especially the case when it is want ed for halter is to put on and tie up a horse with. New ropes for cattle are fre quently unsale, for the reason that they are not pliable enough to knot securely, All this can be remedied, and new rope made as soft and limber at once, as after a year's constant use, by simply boiling it for two hours in water. Then hang it in a warm room and let it dry thoroughly. Tt . -. .-ir , -1 , , ; " reuun3 i "inness until ciry, when it ! iconics perfectly pliable. How many peas arc there in a pint 1 One .
