I LOVE THE SABBATH SCHOOL. I vv hen the morning light drives away the ■ i night. NV ith the sun so bright and full, I And it draws its line near the hour of nine I ll away to Sabbath school; 1 For ’tis there we all agree, All with happy hearts and free, And I love to early be At the Sabbath school. I 11 away, away, I’ll away, awav, 111 away to Sabbath School. On the frosty dawn of a winters morn, VV hen the earth is wrapped in snow, Or the summer breeze plays around the trees. To the Sabbath school I'll go; i When the holy day has come, And the Sabbath breakers roam, I delight to leave my home, : For the Sabbath school; I’ll away, «fcc. In the class I meet with the fiends I gieet, ; At the time of morning prayer; And our hearts we raise in a hymn of praise, 1 For ’tis always pleasant there; i In the book of holy truth. Full of counsel and reproof, H z e behold the guide of youth, At the Sabbath School. I ll away, etc. May the Jews of grace fill the hallowed place, I And the sunshine never fail, \V iii e each blooming rose which in mein- < ry gi ows, Shall a sweet perfume exha’e: Wh-n we mingle here no more, 1 But have met on Jordan's shore We will talk of moments oe>, At the Sabba'h school. 111 away, etc. ’— CELEBBATIOX. . Come join our celebration With hallowed songs of joy, And on this bright occasion, Your sweetest notes employ. Parents and friends invited, And teachersnow are here; i In purpose all united, Our youthful hearts to cheer. 1 banks to the God of hsaNeu, Kind guardian of our race! For a 1 the favors given, Beheath his smiling face. For health and strength and reason, And friendship nnailoved, And every pleasant season In Sunday schools enjoyed. T hanks for the kind protection Gods arm has thrown-around, And for the sweet affection He causes to abound In those who’re watching oer us, With many an anxious sisHi, And seeking to restore us To peace and heavenly joy May God with many a blessing Reward their toil and care, And hear them w hile addressing His throne in fervent prayer; And may his love constraining, Our youthful spiiits bow And grace forever reigning Our inmost souls endow. THE LAST PLAXK Fred Douglass addressed the Republicans of Brooklyn last week on the subject of amalgamation—the last plank in the Abolition platform. He said. There is not much predjudice against! color now, because in coming down Broad way the other day. I saw a white lady riding by the side of a colored man: it was true the colored man had a bit of tinsel ’ around his hat, but nobody seemed to tice that, and the lady did not show any signs of 4isgus6! A few days kince a w hite lady asked me to walk dow n Broad way w ith her and insisted on taking my arm. As we went along every one vve met stared at us as if we were some curious animals. What was the reason the people did not stare at the coachman in 1 the same manner? Simply because he was a servant, and I was walking in the capacity of a friend. By and by you will get over all this nonsense. You ought to ■ see me in London walking down Broadway, with a white lady on each arm; and no person stared at me as if they thought it strange. It w ill soon be so here and • we w ill be ail the nobler and better.— Cheera ]

I TRIBULATIONS OF A BLACK REPUBLICAN SENATOR. Hon. LyniHn Trumbull, Senator fur | Illinois, nimle tun following tpeerh nt die Republican meetin.' held in the CourtHouse squire Chicago, on Thursilnv : evenint': | Mr Trumbull said:— it wn< rather • mbarrnssing to attempt to speak to an I audience which insisted on hearing nn|other but solemn cunvictionsgof duty compelled him to speak when under ordinary I circumstance* he would have remained silent He .lid no 1 , ciime itne heir pass- ' ions, already too much aroused. Their country was in danger, and they must look the p, ril in the iace. No adjectives he could pile up, no vile names he could apply to'hose who do not agree with him calling them Copperheads and traitors, would assist in arresting the rebel 'ion or in asserting the supremacy ol the | Cbns'hution and the laws He did notdevire to inspire them with hurrahs, hut he wished to talk to their judgemeets, and inspire them through appeals to their reasons. The limes he said are grave! A majority of the people of our S'ale are taking gronnd against - the administration . —and why? In the name of heavens. whv is this? 1 will tell you why; I will ■ point out to you some of our mistakes that 'they miy be corrected in the future. The I reason is we have not adhered to David Crockett's motto, ‘‘Be sure you are righl 'and tiny go ahead!” (A voice—“We are : always right.’) I have lived long enougn to know that I am not infallible, perhaps you are; I h’Ve some respect for the opin ion of others. One of our mistakes is that we have allow 'd our opponents tu make false Bo' this is not the worst The great charge, the clirgethal has damaged ’hi ■'* : .ost rat ion ihov, i all others is that we are in lavui of ar I biti arv power, font we a-e opposed to 'lie freedom oi speech and of. the press, tn i favor of curtailing pi-iscnal liberty and m favor of a despotism. Now. we should not allow these things We have been the ad vacates of fl ee speech for the last fortv years, and should not allow the party which durirg the whole time has i advocated the gag to usurp our place. We are fighting fur the restoration of the Union, and the preservation ol the Con stitutirn. nnd all the liberties it guarnn | tees to every And it makes mtfeel bad when 1 hear some honest friend, brimming full of pa'"otism. say he does no! care for the Constitution, and does not want to have it forced into his way or thrust in his face unt I the war is over The rebels cannot thiusl it in his face, for lliev have no rights under it save the right to he bung and tried lor treason (Contitoi* <1 applause.) In certain dis tricts the military law is suppreme Genera) Grant is tn command of an army in the State of Mississippi, which is in re volt. Will anv one deny his right to I make arrests, his right to suppress newspapers and to level trees like these around you to night in order to get a range i lor his guns? No. And yet these are all arhit*ary powers But these exercises of it are not the troub'esom cases. The > great difficulty is in these districts, where rightful civil government is in operation, where the judicial tribunals ar** open and the law respected—the laws which afford a remedv for every wrong. As a rule, we must remember that the civil law is ’ superior to the military law nnd the cases are rare, where the rule can be reversed J( never resolves itself into the plain na- | ked question ol whether the Prespient and his generals, bv the simple clicking of a telegraph instrument, can cause the imprisonment of A, B, or C, If one I genera) can do it. another can do it, tnd where is the end? who will fix the limit? (Great sensation and murmurs.) —Di vou propose to interfere with the ballot box? (Cries of “No! No!” “Never! Never!” from Bliparts of the meeting.) I fln) glad to hear you say that and glad I you are so unanimous. Did it ever occur to wou that the next election may put an entirely different face upon affairs? The next election may bring great and deplorable changes, when Vallandigham and men of his class may determine who is to he arrested. (Cries of “No. that can never he” “Never never,” from »a]J parts of th? crowd.) Well, gentlemen th/iV L r,o use in clos ng your eyes to toe fact which exHt -V ou on side I told I to •’'i'Ucss mvseM rrvnur \ ’,V’7"“. r passions, and in V" ’ oGha'l'k'’" I Lu Who are bewg A-,'- Gov. rnors o love) Slates, who compose a majority of the Legisla'ure of tl'f loyal State ol llhn .Js. and who was recently elected Mayor other principal "nd most loyal city, and in view of these (acts "h«’ mav the future not have in store? (Cnes of “Jennison ” “Music ” ‘We don’t want to hear vou.” ’You sent a telegram tolbe I resident.’) I know I am distasteful, but am ' I not truthful? I would claim your reason divested of passion The

you hold to the lips of your adversaries ; to day to morrow miv be returned to your lips Would you lik- to drink ol it? Close vour eyes as we may there is no safety tor us no safety for you and I and every Ame icati ciiiz n, now amt in I the luitlre. hill in an unwavering adh.r- . eoce to the constiluiiiti.il landmarks of !, our lathers. (Further cries of J.-nni-son,” “Music.” ant much dissatisfaction ) You are wrong—it ia your great- , est and gravest mistake—in allowing I your adversaries to place you in 'he position of being opposed to'he Consiitution (Cries (or “Jennison,” and . “Give us somebody else.”) 1 see that I , am distasteful, but I Cinnot help il, and 1 will not detain you long. Who is there among you who does not believe in ad heiing strictly to the Constitution in these times, and ex ending to every cit j iz-n of the loyal States its guarantees? , | Who among you is prepared to acknowl ; edge our gowriiin*-nt is a failure? Who . among you is prepared to say the Con'r siitution is a fine tiling tor peace—good —but when war comes it must be I rolled up and laid away? Or in other i words—-lor it means the same —who am ong you is ready to substitute the will , and opinion ot one man, who may be another Vallandigham. in place ol the II Constitution as the supreme law of the t land? (Cries of “We don’t want any more ol that.” “What’s that band lor?”) I well, hear me through, for I will not tie i long, and the questions before you are of so much importance and gravity that you t should listen patiently and. not only that decide dispassionately*. The Consti'.ulion is broad. It grants allpowersnec- , .essarv. eVen for the suppression of treas ( on in the North. ( A ppi i ise ) Yes, gi'li , I tl* men, it is just as legal and binding up on 'he general in the field, and the civil offin rs of the nation, as it is upon the Inimbli'St citiz *ri in the land. Has it , : I.ome Io this that vou will d.*ny to the , tree ci 1 vol Chicago '.in* righ of a <*ii , Z n'O discuss the acts ot the Presideni ? I (Cries ol We won’t allow it,” and “None , hut Copperheads do that am! we will Jstop them ”) Is there a man in this ,: audience who has not expressed to day . his dissalisfac'ion with some act «,f the President? (Cries of “Yes,” “l«s,” , “We have none of us expressed any dissa'isiactior..”) Ah, do all ol you then, think the President’s revocation of Gen . er»l Burnside’s order suppressing the Chicago Times, was right? (Cries of No!’ ; No!’ “Il was wrong!” He ought to have . enforced the order!") Fiien you a J . deserve to be taken in hand by the military power and sent bevond the lines. You will much stronger with the law on i your side. Show that Mr. Storey has I counseled resistance to the draft or en- . couraged desert ion; these are penitentiary offenses Then arrest him and take him before tin* courts. — Where would you get your mob to rescue him? Whv J there would not be a corporal's guard in the city that would go into it- Try him in the courts ( A voice, “No. this would take too much time it would take two years ”) Too much time! Cannot wan . lor the execution ol the law? It will not take two months. Do you know what lhe laws are? I will read some of them. He then read from a law of the late Congress forbidding correspondence with the rebels and affording them aid and comfort. ( A single voice on the stand, , ■•Thai’* just what Wilbur F. S'orev . does everv day.") Then go, he said, you are, a citizen, and make complaint to the grand jury, yourself. Il is your L duty. f The Tri: hmax and His Drink Mr Dodge, the celebrated eclectical I physician, was lecturing through the > State on the law of health and particularly on the evil of lea and coffee he hap- , per.ed to meet one morning at the breakI fast table, a son of Erin. Conversation . turned on the Doctor's favorite subject as ■ follows: ‘Perhaps you think I would be unable to convince you of the deleterious effects of tea and coffee?’ I don’t know,’ said Erin but I’d like to be there when you do it.’ ’ Well said lhe Doctor If I convice you ’ that they are injurious to you health i will you abstain from their use?, ‘Sure and I will sir ’ ’How often do vou use coffee and tea. asked the Doctor. ‘Morning and night sir. ‘ *W.ll said tin- Doctor did you ever experience a slight dizziness of the brain i on going to bed? , 1 ‘J do; indeed I do.' And a sharp pain through the temples . in and about the eyes in the morning? I ‘Troulh and I do, sir. Well, said the Doctor, with an Assurance and confidence in his manner, ‘that , is the coffee and tea.' Is it indeed? Faith and I always thought ( it was the whisky I drank!’ . The company roared with laughttr, ( and the Doctor quietly retired. He was fairly beaten.

' ARBITRARY ARRESTS. Th** Louisville J iurn*d, p*. commending a let'er ol Judg<* Parker, of Massachusetts upon the Vallandigham case, says: “Judge Parker is righ*. ‘I earnestly I hope,' adds this < mment j'n ist and patriot, that the National Administration will be prompt to repudiate the act, and to forbid all arbritary arrests hereafter in the Northern States. To fail to do so would go far to discourage the efforts now being made to strengthen the arm I of Government in tin* suppression of the rebellion.’ These are words of wisdom and of pairiotism Thev are the words of ope whose loyally is fervent and un spotted W« entreat ti e pretident IQ heed them. Aml because thev signalize a mighty truth, and are supported by , the hulk of lhe President’s own party, as bv the solid bodv of the conservative ( opposition we cannot doubt that he will heed them It is impos-ible that the ■ President can deliberately set nt defiance the voice of the whole people thus une- , quivocallv and impressively tittered in behalf of what he him- If must own to be I the right. There is not at preSenton , the face of the globe a monarch who would even dream of defying sue monitions as President Lincoln >s now receiving in this grave mailer fro" 1- lb* face and loyal people whose Chief Mag j ’ istrate he is Let him at once re s pect , I these, monitions, if he would, s' rve, | 1 and, not freshly imperil, his country, t to sav. nothing, of his own future, renown.” . , — —— What tub Czar Tbachßs us —A! exandra ol Ru eia the most absolute king in the civilized world ruler over the J [ most vast and powerful government of christendom deigns to ot,*” to treat with , ! rebels in a* ms.

Rebel Invasion of Indiana —Bv our telegraph news it will be seen that a , band of 200 rebel cavalrv have made a | raid in Indiana entering the town of Paoli county seal of Orange and burning Valeene.

ABOLITION YANKEE TREASON. It is incredible that, the nrirvelon-ly and rigidly •loyal't e >ple of Boston, or tin* Lincoln scavengers, a'low the publicatiotr of such utterances as the following right un ,er their noses. It is from that vile Abolition sheet the Boston Liberator. No act of ours do we regard with as conscientious appioval or higher satisfaction —none do we submit more confidently to the tribunal of heaven an I the moral verdict of mankind. than when several years ago on the 4th day of July in the presence of a great assembly, we committed to the flames the Constitution of the United States, because (in the language of John Quic.y Adams) ‘the bargain between freedom and slavery contained in it was inora ly and politically vicious—inconsistent with the principles on which alone oar revolution can be justified, and cruel and oppressive by riveting the chains of tho oppressed and pledging the faith of freedom to maintain and perpetuate the tyrranny of the master.’ And should the present bloody struggle end in any compromise with the south or in recognizing any constitutional obligations to slave-holders or slave-hunters in the border States we shall again give that instrument to the consuming flames and renew our protest against it as a i ‘covenant with death and an agreement with he 1. ‘Bridget - saida lady to a servant, ‘who was that man you was talking with so long at the gate last night ‘Sure, no one but me eldest brother ma'am,’ replied Bridget with a flushed cheek. ‘Your brother? 1 did not know you had a brother. What is his name.’ ‘Barney Mulligan, ma’am.’ Indeed! Your name is O’Flaherty, ‘ how comes it that his name is not the same as your own?’ ■ ‘ froth ma'am replied Bridget, ‘be hu* , been married once.’ A very pious old deacon who with all his piety t'eaiep lest he should not reach j heaven at last, sitting one day at dinner exhibited a piece of steak on the end of , his fork. ‘I wish.’ says he ‘that I was as sure of heaven as I am of eating that piece of beef. | ‘There's many a slip, ‘twixt the cup and the lip’ said Sam the deaeons young scamp of a son as lie knosked it upon tho , floor and the family dog swallowed it. i A witness in court who had been cau- > tioned to give a precise answer to every i question and not talk about what ho ’ might, think the question meant, was in- , terogated as follows: ‘You drive the Rockingham coach, do you not.’ ‘No sir.’ ‘Why man, did you not say so this mo tnentT j ‘No sir,’ Now sir I put it to you—l put it to you on your oath—do you not drive the i Rockingham coach?’ No sir, I drive the horses! Mrs Partington says she dont wonder at it. that there is so much stealing in Con gress when they always lay their bills ou the table. An Irishmen caught a hornet in his hand but dropped it and exclaimed. ‘Be Jabers and w hat kind of teeth do your birds have in Ameriky? When you see a gray haired man pnr- ' chase a bottle of coloring matter it is sad to think how soon he will be dye ing. It is proper for people to mend their highways, and still more to mend their low ways.
