A tear for th beautiful summer*
Wave—shroud#d st tny feet,
As I pause oy the tide Whose billows
Restlessly toss'and beat,
With their murmurous complainings,
Yet musically sweet.
All the dewy and desolate night-tide
My soul roams the mystic shore',
And the isles) superb with blossoms
In the sweet spring morns before,
And gathereth shells, but weepeth
For pearls that will shise no more.
How dreamfully I remember
The summers that used to be,
When the dash of a shado wlesa splendor
Burnished the lake and lea,
And my gay heart-shallop bounded
Lightly the beauty-sea:
But soon o'er the sparkling billow*
Where rocked I in my pride,
From a desert, stretching wo rid-ward
A tempest blew far and wide,
And a heart and its princely shallop,
Perished there, side by side
Sweet friend with the weary sorrow
Struggling in your aye
Together we hear tha echo
01 the deer old days gone by;
Ah, the world is full of mourotrs
As qell as you and I.

NEGRO EaUAMTY THE MAIN IS
SUE.
Those who think that the fire of fanati
cism on the negro question ba* been extin
guisbed by the acceptance of general eman
cipation as a consequence of the war are sad
ly mistaken. The booest bat misguided
humanitarian has other notions of the desti
ny of the negro on this continent, and the
political negro monger will not so easily
abandon his hold of a question which has
been of 6iich marked and esseniial service
in helping him to power and place. Chief
Justice Chase fancies that be can reach the
Presidency by means of agitation on the
question of negro equality ; Senator Sumner
expects to hold his position in Massachu
setts by the same means; and hosts of
smaller, not meaner men, iook to this ques
tion as the cloud by day, and the pillar of
fire by night to guide them to the promised
land, where milk and honey flow in abun
dance, and where greenbacks flutter in eve
ry breeze.
In our State the pill of negro equality le
sugar coated by political doctors before it is
prescribed as the ascitic for national ail
ments. Xti Minnesota they have given it to
the people "plain." And in other States the
nrganfc of the Republican party are laboring
with great earntesthe** to satisfy the masses
that the path to political k'uccesk Heft in ac
cepting the negro into full communion in our
political partnership.
On the first Monday in October, Conocc*
| ticut is to vote on an amendment to her
State Constitution granting the ballot to the
negro ; and the Republican Central Commit
tee of '.bat State have issued an address to
i the people earnestly urging its adoption —-
In noticing this fact, the Now York Tribune
esys:
We make no doubt that tb grant party of which
they are the authorised representative* will rote as
a unit in lavor of equal rights. What We witafto
urge upon our friends is that they shall go to Work
for this amendment with, the sstue enthusiasm And
energy a* if it were rn 'election in which the mio
oew of their candidates were at stake. We appeal to
the sense of justice, and to the fundamental princi
ples of democracy, for neither justice nor true de
mocracy has any sympathy with the exotkiion Hf a
man from his share in the government because of
bis skin. Ami we trust, also, that the people of
Connecticut irrespective of party, are ready to ad
-1 vance with the times. YouDg Minnesota declaring
in Union Convention for negro suffrage, is an Exam
ple and should be an inspiration to them. Every
where on the banner of the party of ttio Union
ought to be Inscribed now "Equal Rights for All."
This is a full and unreserved endorsement
and acceptance of the issue of negro strffr age,
and that means negro equality ; for otice
make ncgoea the peers of white men dt the
polls, and social equality will follow. As
slaves to the use of stimulants duawtftutly
make progress in the quantity and strength
of their potations, so tbe Republican party
will each day increase the dose of begroiam
upon the people, until society in thie country
will exhibit tbe same eigne of disiotregati m
as are revoliingly shown in Mexico and oth
er lands where the experiment of fasin; an
tagonistic races lias been tried. The appeal
is made to the people of Connecticut to
vance with the limes." Advance whither t
The negro is free. In all parts of the lan'd
he is free. Thrre are no chains upon him In
Connecticut; and now the people are called
upon to foree upoo him duties for which be
is not fitted. The movement is e part of the
plan for continuing the negro agita'ion tor
political effhet; and there Will be no cessa'
lion In the labors of the Republican party in
this direction, until they'are prostrated by
the action of a patriotic iad indignant people
at the polls,
.'n
Mr. Horace Greeley has been invited to at
tend a convention of uegfoes to be held at Ra
leigh. North Carolina, in the latter part of the
coining month. Not being able to be present
he bea written and pu)>Lutked a letter of ad
yice to "my countrymen," from which Ah#
following paragraph is extractedi
Be patient We may not give a fall recognition of
jour right* directly ; but the effbrt will never be q
bendoned until it* sueces* 1* assured: And we ate
no longer reiirted by a v*at, tenacious pecuniary in
terMt—an all but omnipotent ' Tested right "
Slavery the tree, whereof negro-hate end white prej
udice of oolor are branohei, ha* been cat down.
There ia still vitality in the root*, but the branches
a'ra bound to wither and decay. Yet this is not tbe
work ot adey; and we mast ' learn to labor, and
(if need be) to wait.
Now tbe point in this extract pertinent to
the view we aro presenting ia, that although
a full recognition of tbe social and political e
quality of the negro cannot be forced at tbe
present time, still "the effort will never be a
bandoned until its success is assured." They
can "wait," but they will never abandon rht
great designs of making the negro equal to
tbe white man in all paits of the nation, and
in all situations.
It is thus ma le certain that negro equality
is the real issue in the pending contest. In
all the Northern States the Republican party
are committed to this doctrine; and in the
coming Congress they will oppose tho admis
•ton of members elected from the Southern
States, unless they will accept tne principle
of the full equality of all men, white and
bla* k , in State organizations. In this man
ner tbe process of reorganization is to be dis
turbed and tbe agitation coutinued, no mat*
ter what the consequence may be to the peace,
repose and prosperity of the nation. In one
word, tbe Republicans mean to make this ne
gro question a prominent one in the next
Presidential contest; aod hence they cannot
afford to cease agitation now. Bui the people
will take a different view of this subject.
They will think the Union and the interests
of millions of white men of more importance
than the idea of negro equality ; and they
will put a stop to further agitation by defeat
ing the Republican party at tbe polls.— Age.
COL. DAVIS AND HIS TRADUCERS.
He Squelches Them..
DUYLESTOWN, Pa.,
EDITORS or THE AGE :
My attention has been called to the fol
lowing article, published n the Prett , of
your city, cf the 15*h insl., viz :
The Harrisburg Telegraph says : Colonel
W. V. H. Davis, tbe Copperhead candidate
lor Auditor General, hav now resumed full
charge ol the Duyiesloan Democrat , a news
paper which he ht6 owned tor many years,
and which berelotore and now sympathizes
with the rebel*. Tne peculiar force of tbe
Democrat, since Cnlouei Davis hat returned
u> preMUn uver us columns, Consists ia as
aeritug that the rebels have not been whipped
thai tneV should be received back to the
Union with all their rignts restored; that
slavery is not and never cau be abolished,
and that, in justice to the rebels, the debt
which they incurred in struggling Tor their
'rights" is as legsl as the debt Which was
pilwd on the people by the national authori
ties while wagiug a crusade on the people of
the South ; and it the national debt is to be
paid, so also must the debts of tbe Southern
Sunes be liquidated.
Mendacity cannot go beyond this. All
that is printed above i a stupoudo is LIE
from Beginning to end. I never thought,
uttered, or advocated such sentiments, nor
wers they ever published] in the Democrat,
In a late issue of tbe Harrisburg Tel g r aph
that paper also charges tne with opposing
the amendment to the Constitution giving
•oidiers the right to vote. This is as base a
LIE as tbe other. At the tune of the elec
tion I was at Danville, suffering from a se
vere wound, but made it my business to go
to D.iylestowu to vote, and voted for the
amendment. Tbe Buck* County Intelligent ,
cer of the 9ih of August, 1864, said:
"General John Tavis, of Southampton, and
'his sun, Col. W. W. H. Davis, both voted
openly for the amendment.
The Duylestown Democrat did not oppose
the amendment. The Bucks County INTEL
LibEK C'ER, the Republican organ of ibis
county, is the only newspaper in Bucks, to
my kuo'Wledge, that ever opposed tbe right
of soldiers to vote. The following article is
from that paper of November 12, 1861, viz:
The State law of Pennylvania, providing
for the holding i>f elections in military en
campments, though doubtless enacted with
good motive*, has been productive of great
evil ind Contentltfti. Until the October elec
tion, there had never been an opportunity of
testing its operations Voting was then car
ried on in most of the Pennsylvania regi
ments at the seat of war, or encamped else
where at a distance fr>m home. In many
case* the votes were honestly received %nd
counted, and the result properly certified and
returned to the legal auihornies. In othera,
and particularly in the regiments partly oi
wholly formed in Philadelphia, the elections
were conducted in a tnost shameful and ras
cally manuer. Some of the regiments.' re
| turns show hundreds of votes for candidates
on one ticket, while those of opposite politic*
receive few none. Ha the result in the
ci\y itself was doubtftri, and the candidates
were lively t be elected or defeated by the
army vote, there were strong inducements
offered for corrupt politicians to practice
their villainous arts. Ir now seems probable
' ihat the frfficulues tho* raised wit! have to
be settled by the courts, at the oust of great
labor and much time. Wv hope the L-glnla
ture will prevent such EVIL tq future by the
TOTAL ABOLITION OF ELECTIONS IN
CAMP.
I cannot account for tho malignant hostili
ty of the editor of the Hsrriaburg Telegraph
toward me, except because my .grand fa'her
wa* one of the soldiers that capiured the
Hessians at Trenton in 1776. Mr. Bergner
Is very lath to forget old grievances.
[ W. W*H. Davit.
WHY WAS HE NOT PROMOTED
We have recently obtained possession of R
record highly honoring oar candidate for Au
ditor General, Colonel WILLIAM W. H. DAVIS.
ft appears that a oumbcr of the friends of
Colonel Davis presented his name to the War
Department for promotion, and accompanied
their recommendation of a brave soldier with
an array of testimony as to his capacity and
conduct as an officer,of which any man might
be proud. The application was in vain how
ever, for waa not Colonel Davis a Democrat ?
His long, faithful and efficient service, his
blood shed in the cause, and his maimed
body, all were connted as naught, while such
men as Schenck, Banks, &c., were raised to
tbe "Stare." IPimporte ! The Democracy of
Pennsylvania now present him to the people
for promotion—and to the people we present
some of the test-monials thai accompanied the
fruitless application in bis behalf to tbe War
Department. Read !
SILAS CASEY, Brigadier General of Vol
unteers, says *
"Colonel W. W. H. Davie, 104 th regiment
Pennsylvania volunteers, was under my com
mand for about nine months, during a major ;
part of which period he was in command of a
brigade, which he brought to a state ofdisci
plire and efficiency. In command of his regi
ment on the 3iat of Msy,lß62 t at the battle of
'Seven Pines' he with his men behaved in the
most gallant manner."
T. SEYMOUJt, Brigadier General of Vol
unteers says:
"Colonel Davis served with credit during
the Mexican war; be was one of the first to
step forward in this. As colonel he has con
stantly commanded a brigade, and In some of
the hardest fought actions of the war. He
has everywhere not only acquitted himself
with credit, but has acquired the name of a
thoroughly capable and efficient brigade com
mander, and the confidence of all with whom
he has served."
J. N. PALMER, Brigadier General of Vol
unteer*, says ;' I have served in the same di
vision with Col, Davis and know him to be
an intelligent and zealous comman
der, H.s regiment-was one of the best drill
ed and best disciplined volunteer regiments
io the 'Army of the Potomac.' "
ALFRED 11. TERREY, Brigadier General
commanding, says, under date of November
29,1868 • "Col. Davis has commanded a bri
gade almost without interruption since the
auttlmn 1861. He Commanded a brigade of
my division during the movement on James
Island in July last, and duri: g a considerable
portion of the opcrAtioni on this (MorrisJ
Island. He has rende red very efficient sod
valuable services and proved himself a most
capable and faithful officer."
S. C. HUNT, Brigadier General of Yoiun
teen, says: ''l take pleasure in bearing wit
ness trorn -ny own personal observation to
the steady endurance aod gallantry which
were displayed by his regiment under his ex
ample and guidance during the Peninsular !
campaign, aod especially at the battle of 'Sev
en Pines.' Col. Davis' regiment was drawn I
up in the advance of Casey's division, and
sustained the first shock of the overwhelming
rebel force."
JOHN PECK, Major General, says : "Col.
W. W. U Davis 104 th regiment for some
months in my division on the Peninsula. He
is a brave and accomplished soldier."
ORRIS S. FERRY, Brigadier General,says
(May 12. 1863) : "Col. Davis rtceived a mil
itary education ; seived with credit in the
line and on the staff in the Mexican war
raised a company, afterwards a regime.'t aod
a six gun battery at the beginning of the pres
ent war; organized tbe brigade now comman
ded by him to November, 1861, and has been
ia command of the same ever since, with the
except ion of a few months. He has been
twice wounded in action, and everywhere has
deported himself as a brave, skillful ene r get
ic commander."
R. SAXTON,Brigadier General Volunteers
write* January 7ih, 1854: "It gives me
p'easure to bear witness to the fidelity and
efficiency of Col. Davis as an officer. He
served for several months under my command
in tbe capacity of Bi igadier General to my
entire satisfaction."
E D KEYES, Major General, writes:—
"Col. Davis served in the Fourth corps, uo
der my command, a comiderabie time on the
Peninsula I had ample opportunity to oh
serve his conduct, which at all times was that
of a brave , energetic and ai ten rive officer.
Moreover, C >l. DAVIS i a gentleman of high
character and inielhgence."
Major General Q A. GILMORE, under
date il November 25. 1863, expressed official
ly h<B high appreciation of the zeal, inte'li

POLICY OF THIB PRESIDENT.
A Urge delegation of prominent southern
ers recently culled upon the President.—
lion. Wm. H. McFarland addressed him on
behalf of the visitors:
: :: 'HI'. .1' . '
The President, in reply, expressed his sur
prise at receiving so Urge s number of gen
tlemen from the-- South, He had no ids*
that so many persons would eali upon hint
when he consented to this interview. Ha
could not command language sufficiently to
express the deep gratification he felt at the
visit and at the patriotic remarks of the
speaker who had jSt retired. He apote of
his antecedent position before the civil war.
He had urged his Southern brethren Jo re
main in the Union ami there content?for
their Constitutional rights. He felt that it
was their only safety nod protection. He
had trtweys been for the recognition of alTthe
Constitutional rights of the slave-owning
States, and believed they eonld have been
preserved In the Union, if the Issue had beM
made in the forum instead of in the field.—
He himself, had been a slave holder, bnt he
had made up his mind that if the issue ever
narrowed itself down to the question of Un
ion or slavery, that slavery must go and the
Union be saved. He had confidence in the
expression just uttered of devotion to the
restoration of the Union, and the profession#
of loyalty so generally evidenced, and he
wyasßUred that the disposition was to aid
in building up the waste places of the South
and restoring peace, hsppiness, good will
and Union.
HE DID NOT BELIEVE THE SENSA
TION LETTER WRITERS AND EDITORS
WHO WERE ENDEAVORING TO CRE
ATE THE IMPRESSION THAT THERE
EXISTS IN THE SOUTII DISAFFEC
TION AND DISSATISFACTION, FOR
THF PRESENCE OF SO MANY EMI
NENT AND DISTINGUISHED GENTLE
MAN, REPRESENTING SUCH A LARGE
CONSTITUENCY FULLY DISPROVED
THE FACT, AND GAVE THE LIE TO
THEIR PESTILENT AND MALIGNANT
UTTERANCES. He had confidence in the
professions of the people of the Sooth, and
of their purpose to restore the Union upon
the principles of the Constitution; and he
I hoped and believed they were ready to come
| up and rally around the Union and the C'on
st i tut ion.
The feud that existed wis in a family
cle, aod the ties of friendship, now it had
ended t he trusted would be stronger and
more enduring than ever. The mission of
this great people is a high and holy one, and
in the Union only oould the purposes uf Iter*
people and free government be administered.
The President referred to the existing con
dition of public affairs, and the gratifying
and patriotic evidences presented to him dt
an early restoration of fraternity between
the different sections of the Union, and the
good to follow this peaceful state of affairs ;
and in conclusion expressed the hope that
men thoroughly loyal wou Id be elected to
Congress, in order that the Sooth might be
again admitted to the councils of the nation.''
The remarks oftho President were frequent
ly interrupted by applause,- and all seemed
highly gratified by the interview,
'•IDIOTS OR KNAVES." —President Johnson
must believe that the number of persons in the
North who are either idiots or knaves to be
very great. In a speech delivered by bim in
the United States Senate in 1859, he said:
"The men who del berately and boldly as
serts that Thomas Jeff-rson, when he penned
'he sentiments that all men were craatud e*
qual; bad the negro in his mind, te eibber-a*
idiot or a knave,"
Z3C Tha following is the resolution voted"
down by the Republican State Convention o't
Minnesota;
Resolved, That we recognize in the efeii
and military acta of Andrew Johnson, ee they
standout before the world during theiiatkoe*
period of the nation's trial, the. fearless- ,pe
t riot, the able statesman, the houoet man ;
sod that we pledge to his wise and patriotic
measures for the restoration of the Union our
cordial support.
The Abolition party have always been a
disunion party, and their professions of love
for the Un'on have been a transparent sham a
gainst which the Democratic press has ever
warned their dupes. They must now show
their hand, and Thaddeus Stevens, the rep
resentative man of the Abolition party in
Pennsylvania, in a speech a few days since
at Lancaster, said :
'• The VERY EXISTENCE of the Republican
party depends upot the rebel States being
"ept out of the Union for a while. Their ad
nisei.,n W.-CLD RENDER THE SPEEDY T*l
- or THE DEMOCRACY INEVITABLE-"
MAKE IT FULL —The abolition journals
are just now engaged in making up the record
of their candidate for Auditor General, Gene
ral Hsrfranft. We hope they will make U
full. Patt ofit we know consists of the dar
mg (?) act of hanging Mrs. Snrratt. This
important part should not be overlooked
ihem, under any clicumstances.
