Ills lavish alms, and turn to gold
His scanty pence 1

And sets the fettered free;
He calls tbe beggar from bis den
To golden luxury.

Reverses Tate's decrees;
And bids the briefless Tleadtr rise
Judge of the Common Pleat.

Sleep joins tbe parted lover's bands, w
Wreathes the starved poet's brow;
And calls the hero still unknown
From lonely village plow.
Sleep holds tbo resurrection keys,
And from bis shadowy plain,
Down Memory's long and cloudy Tnlti,
The dead come back again.
Sleep comes, like death, alike to all
Divine equality 1
Dlesses the monarch lo his state,
The slave upon the sea.
Sleep brings our childhood back again,
The only Golden Age;
Sleep I 0 thou blessed alchemist,
Thou holy Arcblmage.

Gen. LoiiRttrrct on Itccomttuc-.
ttnn,
In answer to nn invitation to attend
a meeting in Now Orleans to hear Sen
ator 'Wilson, of Massachusetts, and a
request for an expression of his own
views, Gen. Longstrcct, after Inning
beard Senator Wilson's speech, express
es himself in the following letter fully
on the subject of reconstruction, and
in favor of universal suffrage north as
well as south. This has great weight
as coining from ono of tho leading Gen
erals of the South during the war:
Xr.w Oi!1.i:ans, I.a., .Tune a, 18(17.
J. 3L G. Paiikki: Jfi Dear Sir:
Your esteemed favor of tho l.'itli ultimo
was duly received. I wn much pleased
to have tho opportunity to hear Sena
tor t llson and very agreeably sur
prised to meet such fait ties and frank
ness in a politician whom I havo been
taught to believe uncompromisingly
oppoed to the white people of the
South. 1 have maturely considered
your suggestion to " wisely unite in el
forts to restore Louisiana to her former
position in the Tnion, through tho
patty now in power." a!v letter of
tho Oth of April, to which you refer,
clearly indicates a desire for practical
reconstruction nml reconciliation. 1'iiic
tical men can surely distinguish be
tween practical reconstruction and re
construction as an abstract question,
I will endeavor, however, with renew
ed energy, to meet your wMies in the
matter. The hcrioiu dillieiilly that I
apprehend is the waul of that wImIoiii
which is necessary for the great work.
I shall be happy to woik in any harness
that promises relief to our distressed
people and harmony to the nation. It
matters not whether I bear the mantle
of Davis or the mantle of Sumner, so
timt I help to bring the glory of "peace
and good will toward men." I shall
set out by nssuming a proposition that
I hold to bo telf-eviilcut, viz: I he
highet of human laws is the l.:w that
is established by appeal to arms. The
great principles that divided political
paities prior to the war were thorough
ly discussed by our wlnst statesman.
When argument was exhausted, icsoit
was had to compromise. When com
promise was mint ailing, discussion was
renewed and expedients) were sought,
but none could he found to suit the
emergency. Appeal was llually maile
to the sword to determine which of the
claims was tho ti no construction of con
stitutional law. The sword has decid
ed in favor of thcXoith,nud what they
claim to be principles, ceased tobepiin
ciplcs and aio become law. Tho views
that we hold cease to bo principles, be
cause they me opposed to law, It is
therefore our duty to abandon ideas
that a io obsolete, and conform to the
requirements of law. The .Military
bill and ameudmctitK are peace oiler-
mgs. o hlioiilil accept them as sticli,
and place ourselves upon them as the
Marling point from which to meet fu
ture political Usucbas they arise. Like
other Southern men, I naturally sought
alliauco with the Dcuiocrntiu party,
merely because it was opposed to tho
Iiepublican paity. Hut as far as I can
judge, there is nothing tangible about
it, except the issues that were staked
upon the war and there lout. Finding
nothing to take hold of except prejudice,
which cannot bo worked into good for
any one, it is proper and right that I
should seek so mo standpoint from
which good may bo done, If I appre
ciate tbo principles of tho Democratic
party, its prominent features oppose
the eufranchUeiiieut of tho colored man,
and deny tho right to legislate upon
tho subject of suffrage, except by tho
States, individually, These two fea
tures have a tendency to exclude South
ern men from that party; for the col
ored man is already enfranchised here;
and wo cannot seek alliance with a
pnitythat would restrict hi lights,
Tho exclusive right of tho Stales to
legislate upon sufTrago will inaku tho
enfranchisement of the blacks wheth
,- b ,. f worse, a llxturo
for better or for worse, a fixture
among us. It appears, therefore, that
thoM . (U
der of things as a public calamity aro
thoso whoso principles would fix it up
ou us without u remedy. Hcnco it be
comes us to insist that suffrago should
be extended in all the States and fully
tested. The people oftho North Bhould
NO. 27
adopt what tliey lmvo forcotl upon lis;
ntul it it bo proved to bo a mistake,
they should remove it by tho remeily
muler republican principles ol iinilorm
lawn upon iiitiViigc. If every man In the
country will meet the crN'w with a prop
er appiveiut ion of our condition, nml
come fairly up to hit ivuponsibilitie.,
on to-morrow tho mm will Hinilo upon
a happy people, our fields will again
begin to yield their incrcno, our rail
roads and rivers will teem with aliiiii
ant commerce, our towns and cities
will resound with tho tumult of trade,
and we hhall bo invigorated by bless
ings ol Almighty (Sod. I am, sir, very
respectfully, your obedient setvant,
.lAMI.S I.ONSriil.KT.

only ouu shot took client. Tho ball
went in on the left side and passed
through tho body, indicting Mich a

PitKsniKNT. The Washington, corres
pondent of the Cincinnati Cotniiierctal
tells how Judgo Cnrtter, of Washing
ton, made nil effort to get General
Grant to tako himself oil' the Insldo
track for the Presidency, that Hen.
Wndo might bo put upon tho same,
nml how he did not succeed, but found
tho General immovably "there" which
is likely enough to bo true in substnnce :
In order to get General Grant out of
the wnv, Judge Curlier recently called
upon bun, and foimally and his umst
impressive manner niiiimmced to tho
General that ihe time had arrived when
he must make hit decision whether ho
was willing to be a candidate for tho
Presidency of the United States on tho
Republican ticket oi uot. Ho told
General Grant that It would not dolor
him to continue in his padlocked con
dition any longer; that the pcnplo
were looking about for the "coining
man," ami that if ho was going to come
it was time he was coming along. Ho
told him. that ho wanted to know ex
plicitly fust, whether ho would bo a
candidate for the Presidency, nnd if so,
secondly, whether he would havo any
objection to having Henj. F. Wade up
on the same ticket as candidate for tho
Vice Presidency. It wan noticed that
General (Srant gavehistiadllional cigar
an extra twirl in bis mouth, nnd remark
ed that ho wiiHobligedtosay thatlheso
were rather plain nml direct iiueslions.
Cantor did not hesitate toiudorsuthat
proposition, ami continued to press tho
question. General Grant, alter a mill
tile's deliberation, said that he did not
reallv feel desirous of becoming Piest-
dent of the Pulled States; that hohail
been honored and trusted lu a degrro
that was n surprise to himself : nnd yet
bo felt that if tho people called upon
him to become a candidate for the Pres
idency of tho party for the war for tho
preservation oftho Pniimjiocoitlil not
feel that he was nt liberty lo decline;
nml that, as a matter, of course, ho
could have nothing whatever to say
in such a case as to the second person
on the tirl.it; that, as also the llrst
place on the ticket, wmii matter fur tlm
wisdom of tho people to determine, and
Im certainly could haxo no objection to
H. F. Wade of Obi... All of which was
tal.cn by the licit Wade pailv, rime
sealed hi this intertiew by Chief Jus
lice Cm Iter to menu in so many winds
that General Giant was nml would bo
a caiiilidato for the Piesldeuey. This
result has in sotno degieo cooled tho
ardor of ihe Wade paity, but they aro
full of life and cannot Im said to hato
abandoned the field.
