All that the heart holds dear. New faces and friends you will sco. To think of by night and day, And you soon will forget the old. Forget when you are far away. Another your beauty will praise, : Your dimples and eyes of brown. And happy I bopo you will be, Afar in the dutky town. Look, there is tho school on tho hill. We went to a. girl and boy. And the woods in tho evening of gold. That rang with our nhouU of joy; And here is tho lauo where wesat, How often wheu kcUuoI was u'er, And you're going to leave them all, And maybe come back no wore. I'll be down in the moruing soon, To bid you the last good-bye. Though I know when I see your f.ice, The toar will be ip your eye j But I'll give my hand fur all, I'll give you my biasing, too, And pray, though another's you'll to. That heaven may smile ou you.

In tho midst of thono darkening day, when tho laborer pes alout tho utreet in jest of food, and grinding in low, and tho- skeleton want looks in at tho doortt nud windownof many an honest household, you aro taxed by Congren for the rut port of a standing army beyond what any other peojdo endures benmith tho sun. Tho people of tho Uniteil States aro pay ing over five hundred millions of annual revenuo. More than one half of that most i-uorinouH amount U swallowed up by the Congressional policy of reconstruction. If tho farmer or tneehanio pay twenty dollars to tho tax-gathe rer, ten of it goo n a trib ute to u vttt military government, which exisdM in plain, open and eonf'sed violation of the Constitution. If your property in advertised on tho tree, at cross-road-i, nnd on tho doors of public huen forlelitKiient and un,aid taxeM, remember that they would not have been heavy, and you might eaUy have paid them, if tho standing army had been nldihed and tho expenso of govern ing the Southern State left where it belong, with the people of thono Stute."

At that time tho South contained a white population of 4,00-1,000. Its black population num1ered. 3.896,000. There that population, trained to labor, re mains to-day. Tho ravage of war and the results of emancipation have been made up. or nearly o, by the law of natural increase. The etatCKmanship, then, of the country, finds a vast lnljonng population in possession of the uiot fertile and productive region, of the earth, and by its policy, turns that region into a barren desert and a howlinz wilder- nesH. The ricii lands are all 'Vrc. The brawny nnd utalwart labor is there, and ac tual want is there.

A Presidential election is at hand, and the first fruits of this accursed conspiracy are to be seventy electoral votes deposited for the Radical can did ato by tho hands of tho negro.

The Constitution has no authority over the Southern States against their will; they have tho right to withdraw from the au thority of the Constitution at pleasnro; and therefore, after the pas a go of their ordinance of secession, tho Constitution was practically dead in tho Stales of tho South. Tho peoplo of the South went to war to enforce that idea. What did we do?

Thus, when California sounded tho trumpet note of victory, the en- first cmics of Democracy declared that its sue- cess was due to local issues to the Chi- ncse question, and to the apathy of the Republican voters. Uut this position was rendered untenable, and the asser tions falsified, when one State after an- othcr followed her example, and wheeled itself once more into the ranks of Dem- ocracy. The wave of reaction has swept over tho land ; and every -village and every hamlet, under every diversity of local in- forest, and in every condition of previ- ous political bias, ban yielded similar re- turns. Iu most cases there has been a clear democratic victory, and in all oth- ers thcro has been a marked falling off iu the Judical voto. r It is but fair to nreeutnc that some "rcat national cause, operating violently upon the feelings of the whole oomrnuui ty. could alone havo Rufticed to produce K ,n tho MDtimcnts ' 1 L of the teotdo.
