POETRY WITH A POINT.

We do not know the author of tlie following

lines, but can say one thing for him, if his

measure ami metre is faulty, there is a point

to the meaning of the wonts worthy every

.poor man's consideration

Vt'oik

Work!! Work!!!

With pick and shovel and axe!

To pay New Kngland's protection. Your own and the bondholder tax! Work! Work!! Work!!!

There are millions of negroes to feed,

And the cost is hitched on with the bondholder's claim, And the sum of New England's greed.

Tug! Toil!! Sweat!!! Still harder each day than before,

(t will go to keep negroes and holders up, And the wolf away from your door Work! Work!! Work!!! l'Vom dawn to the dusk of day. For vour hopes are crushed with a weight of debt,

That toil of your life won't pay. You gave your sou to the war! v. The rich man loaned his gold

And the rich man's son is happy to-day, And yours is under tlie mould You did not think, poor man

You can scarce believe when you re told.

That the sum which the rich man loaned to the war, Was the pricul'or which you were sold.

Your son was as good as his And as dear, perhaps to you,

lint yours died for his! and your daughter now For his must wash and sew

Nay, do not pause to think,

Or sigh for your children or wife,

For your moments are mortgaged to hopeless tOil

The rest of your weary life.

From the New Ymk Tribune.

Treason In Civil War.

('ana government, which after a long ... and arduous struggle, has put dowu an organized and formidable rebellion, proceed to try and punish its defeated adversaries as traitors?

This question is readily answered in the affirmative by ignorance and passion —perhaps also by wisdom aud calm judgment.

Let

us inquire and consider.

Unquestionable a government may refuse from the outset io recognize its domestic foes as belligerents, engaged in lawful war. It may say to them, as Muximillian did to his Mexican adversaries— "You are not warriors, but banditti, brigands, robbers, whom if captured by my armies, I shall treat as arrested felons." liut this i? a two edged sword, as Maxiinillian is very likely to discover. Tho government which treats its enemies as felons must expect to have its adherents so treated by those adversaries—to have its soldiers shot or hung when captured, if it shoots and hangs those whom it captures. Whatever rule it acts upon will surely work both ways.

On the main question, the doctrine generally held by American statesmen and publicists prior to 1S00, will be found succintly set forth by Daniel Webster, in his address on laying the corner stouc of Bunker Hill Monument (June 1-lth, 1825), wherein he says of the consequences of that memorable combat: "The battle of Bunker Hill was attended with the most important effeuls beyond its immediate result a a military engagement. It created at once a state of open, public war. There could be no longer a question of proceeding against individuals, as guilty of treason or rebellion. That fearful crisis was past. The appeal now lay to the sword and the only qucs- ••-.•••••« tiou was, whether the spirit aud theresources of the people would hold out till the object could be accomplished/'

Bear in mind that our lathers had uot even declared their independence ou tho 17th of .Tune, 1775, when they fought at Bunker Ilill—nay, they had not definiteJ'P ly resolved on separation from the mother country. In the eye of British law— and of the law of nations, for that matter—they were simply rebels, resisting 7fer the authority aud the army of their legitimate king. Yet Mr. Webster holds t','', that the naked fact that tlicy resisted iu ly battle array, under the command of their i" constituted local authorities, precluded any civil proceedings against them as "individuals guilty of treason or rebellioti."

Of course, Mr. Webstor did not originate this doctrine. lie was uot the man to do the like of that. He found it interfused throughout our entire Revolutionary history and literature. Thus, Chief Justice Marshall, in his Life of AVashington, relates that, when General Gage, commanding the king's forces iu Boston, arrested several 'eminent Whig civilians and lodged them iu jail, along with our captured officers and soldiers, to be dealt with as traitors, Washington remonstrated "very seriously against this unjustifiable measure," says Marshall while General Gage "rogarded the Americans merely as rebels, and treated them as if the great national resislanee, they were making on principle was to be viewed as the act of a few daring aud turbulent individuals," and, as such, wrote Gage: "prisoners whose lives arc, by the laws of tho land, destined to tho cord." Washington at once instituted measures for retaliation, should this violation of public law and of the laws of war be carried into effect, and thereby brought tho British goneral to a recognition of the just principles of civilized warfare, as enunciated by Vattel and othor writers on public law.

James Otis, the Wycliff or John IIuss of our revolution, Alexander Hamilton (in the Federalist,) and all our revolutionary publicists of any authority, refer to and quote from Vattel's Law of Nations as setting forth the judgment of the civilized world iu accordance with the doctrines of Webster and Washington above cited. Vattol, iu his chapter on civil war, says "But what couduct shall tho sovereigu observe toward the insurgents? 1 answer, iu general, such conduct as shall at the same time be tho most consonant to justice and the most salutary to the State.

Subjects who rise agaiust their

prince without cause deserve severe punishment jet, even in thiscaso on account of the number oj the delinquents, clemen

cy becomes a duty in the sovereign. "A civil war breaks the bonds of society and government, or at least, stispeuds their force and effect it produces in the

This being the case it is very evident that the common laws of war ought to be observed by both parties iu every civil war. For the same reasons which render the observance of those maxims of matter of obligation between State and State, it becomes equally, and even more nec/ssary in the unhappy circuinstanetsof tiro incensed parties lacerating their common country." '-Thus there exist iu the State two separate bodies who pretend to absolute independence, and between whom there is no judge. They ride their quarrel by arms [not courts of civil law], and «s two different nations would do. The obligation to observe the common laws of war toward each other is therefore absolute— indispensibly binding on both parties, and the law of nature imposes ou nil nations iu transactions between State and State."

soliloquy of a Uadhiil Aristocrat.

l'.V

I! It 11' I'o.M KlttlY.

Let Hour go up! Lot evervtliinjr go «|i, what, care 1 atu an aristocrat, a loyal Radical—a political bond holder, made so by special legislation of good Republicans, protected in my idlenesb and ill-gotton wealth by the peuple, wlio.se lord and master 1 am! I like this American aristocracy! Jnold countries, a mau to be an aristocrat must be a gentleman, have an education, and understand a little something of the science of government.

Here it is dill'erenl. All a loan needs to be a nabob is bonds—Tinted States lionds. What care 1 fur hard times, or easy times? Its all the same to me. I ride in my carriage to the Hank. 1 take along my little tin box of 1'nited States l'onds, the propU's Congress voted exmpt fr.im all taxation! want some money. 1 hold in bonds half a million dollars. The interest is good as ten cents on eaeli dollar. Ten cents on each dollar|tof half a million is fifty thousand ihd/ars a year! I present my bonds— the hanker from his sale hands me my interest every three months—1 live on my income. An aristocrat iu America, where all men are n/ual!

ATTHACTIVKofler STOI'toher of KKAPY-MAPK and

holders. If a poor mechanic wants money, lie earns it. Tf a farmer wants money lie earns it. 1 a poor laboring man wants money lie earns it. If a poor foreigner wants money he earns it, aud if a widow woman or a cripple wants money, they must earn it—pay their taxes for the support of us bond holders, and if there is anything left it is theirs.

This is a good government! It protects us rich folks—the poor can beg or starve. A man lias no business to be I poor. Let him do as 1 do—put his money in United States Bonds and live on the interest. Let everybody hold bonds. Let men sell their farms—their stores— their mills, quit work, live "on the untaxable bonds, aud we'll all be great together. Tho theory is good.

We tax the poor people one hundred and eighty millions of dollars a year to support us lladical aristocrats. Now, let us double the amount of bonds—double the internal tax, aud make more money. The people like it! We might as well rob, them of all as of half! How would it work if ((//.were bond-holders who paid uo taxes, and nobody produced or paid taxes? tt-V-'

negroes, and the negroes worked as white people worked—wo all helped put into the treasury, and taxation was light.

And we abolished the aristocracy of the South, and built up ODC for New Kngland aud her bond-holders, and cx-

cmptcd the ne\v aristocracy taxation! '4 That was a nice little gag ou the working people of the United States. Us bond holders own all tho poor people now—black and white. That is better than to own but the black ones. Oh, much better!

How I like to see men working on on their farms till their bones ache That helps us bond holders. We ride by in our carriages, learn back on our cushions and laugh!

I like to sec poor women take in washing, sewing, &c.. to help support us.' And it's nice to see blacksmiths slioo horses till their backs ache—to see masons lug and toil till their hands are hard—to see the mechanics going along with their oold dinners in little tin pails—to see poor people working all day—to see women mending, darning, coloring, patching, turniug, making over, piccing-out, and doing all sorts of work, from morn till midnight, to support us Radical aris

tocrats.

And 1 pay no taxes—notoic litlh pennyCongress, a Radical Congress, in its wisdom made it a law that all Cnited States Honds should be exempt from taxation. The tax collector can't toucli me. The Sheriff protects mo—the policemen looks out for my house at night—lite poor men who have no bonds pay for all the roads, bridges constables, jails, prisons improvements, fire engines, public cisterns street lights, to add to my protection and comfort. And tlicy pay for school houses and school teachers that my children may be educated, but not at my expense, and are taxed to support the very paupers I .help make iu my legalhed robbery of the

Indeed this is the best government the the world ever saw—that is, for lazy men, swindlers, thieves and bond holders! "Hole com's the nhany in the ban.I". Io pay my inlenst/" don't know! That is not my business. I am a radical aristocrat—a government leech. All I know is that the money must he I'll break ilmcn the government!

I believe there is an Internal, or ati Infernal revenue collector, lie goes about raising money from the poor people. 1 see him every few days, but he never comes to tne for money, lie collects a tax on stores, mills, breweries, horses, cows, waggons, shoe shops, tailor shops, photograph artists, showmen lecturers, merchants, draymen, carpenters, blacksmiths, lumbermen, farmers, butchers, lawyers, jewelers, peddlers, printers, cigar makers, book makers, match makers, distillers, manufacturers of all kinds of implements and machines—from well folks and sick ones, from sound folks and cripples, all of whom are the victims, and slaves of us bond holders. He collects the money—it is sent on to AVashington by the car load to the tune of one hundred and eighty millions if dollars a year, and from there it is sent out to the National Hanks aud paid out to us bond

You sec they must all pay taxes, first —look out for themselves afterwards. Two or three persons sincc t\io days of Adam have gouc from this world alivej but I never heard of one going without paying taxes, till I heard of bond-holders!

If the poor fools should repudiate the national debt—oh, murder! Oh, that is impossible!

The credit of the government—us bond-holders being the government!

We must not let tho people repudiate! Tlicy repudiated the old Continental debt, but that was all right, as war then was carried on for Liberty. But the lato war was carried on to destroy liberty—to divide the Union our forefathers made— build up an aristocracy for New England nabobs—to enrich the few—to do just irhat has been done! And the people must not now refuse to support us, or they'll get. rich, and us bond-holders will be obliged to work and pay taxes as honest folks do.

Tu.rafion shall be equal!" Ah, that means for poor folks—that don't include lis bond-holders. That is for the poor farmers—the workingincu, who first must give of their earnings one hundred and eight millions a year to support us bond holders—then give a hundred and fifty million$ more each year to defray the expenses of this, "the best government the world ever saw.''

Oh, we were sharp! Cunning chaps us bond-holders! We yelped, howled, prayed, whined, ranted, and preached "loyalty" till wo lixed things. We knew better than to tell people that we intended to divide the Union—

To build up our little aristocracy— To make slaves of workiuguicu— To exempt one-third of the wealth of the country from till taxation—

To make those who hold no bonds support those who doAnd to mortgage their farms, their shops, and their children, to us lladical aristoerats forever!

Ah!"we played it niec! Wo did! And it was the wealth of the country that put down the rebellion! -Good joke!

Old money-bags carried a musket!

That's good! Old bank-stock ate hard-tack! Excellent!

And old bonds died in hospital! Ha, ha, ha, glorious! l'oor folk:' ain't so bad after all. They put down the rebellion, and now they insist on paying us bond-holders for letting, them Hully for tho slaves.

So work away, poor people—'twill' make you healthy! Pay your taxes without grumbling, but for GOD'S sako dont't talk of repudiation! Wo can stand your protests, your hard palms,, your dirty fingers, your coarse clothes, your patched garments, your long hours of toil, your poor homos, your wan, earoworn wife! your ignorant children, your thin beds, your scant food, your low wages, your appeals for aid—can stand all these without being affected in' the least, but for GOD'S ^SAKE don't men-' tion npudiation—that would make all of us lli:Mi*-i'nOTF.CTED Radical aristocrats

sick.'

Why should the people object to '"supporting us? Why not send men to Congress who will vote everybody a hundred thousand dollars in bonds? Then we all can bo rich. Xo more need of work for any

body then. There is science finance, "loilty" devotion to the Union, or whatever you call it!
