W fttf* ®mtr. Haunted. • •dF' ■ She is gone—l know not whither: Know not where the blessed place. Lighted by her welcome presence And the sunshine of her face; Brightened by her smiles enchanting, And her sweet, bewitching grace. She may wander in the meadow, Where the speakling streamlets flow; Gathering the valley lilies, Rivaling her brow of snow: Fairer she than any blossom That shall ever bud and blow. She is gone—yet still the spirit Os her presence fills the room, — Like the echo of sweet music, Or the rose’s rich perfume; Like a gleam of radiant sunshine, Leaving hot a shade of gloom; i V Ilere a withered rose bud lictli, Which was twinod amid her hair, Clustering in golden ringlets Round her forehead pure and fair, Here her bird, whose joyous carol Fills with music all the air. Here a tiny golden thimble, Which her dainty finger graced; There a blue-rosetted slipper. Flung aside in careless hate; And an open book, with passage By her pencil lighted traced. E’en the flowers her hand hath gathered, lyhich these antique vases fill, In their exquisite arrangement, Blended by her matchless skill, On the air their perfume breathing, Seem her living presence still. Where her fair feet have wandered, I can never feel alone; Each familiar spot is haunted By her footsteps and her tone. She is queen in Love’s dominion, And my bosom is her throne.

Scene In Court. One day a tall, ungainly’ looking specimen of tjtje genus African was arraigned for some trivial misdemeanor. When asked why he did so he very bluntly refused to answer. “What is the reason you won’t answer ?” ' ’ “Cause you can’t ray me “Why can't I ?” “Is you de Freedman’s Bureau ?” “Well, no! I trust not!’’ “Thought you wan’t!” “You will find that makes no difference ‘•Guess it do!” “I reckon it does not, sir!” “See here, boss—you go to foolin’ wid me now, an’ I has you rested for bigamy!” “For what?” exclaimed the astonished magistrate. “For foolin’ wid dem what b’longs to de bureau, dat’s bigamy !” replied the African, with a shake of his head that fully evinced his thorough acquaintance with the laws of the Federal tribunal. Petty Spite. We observe that Grant has removed from a small land-office in Greenville, Tenn., Andrew Johnson’ Jr., a son of the late Presy dent. This act of petty spite toward his predecessor —this absence of magnanimity, whibh almost any other person in the country would have observed —is characteristic of the present President. How poorly and meanly this contrasts with example of Gen. Taylor. When he became President, in 18-19, he found a son of his opponent. Gen. Lewis Cass, the Minister of the United States at Come. Gen. Taylor continued him there during his whole term. He declared that he would not be guilty of an act which might appear indelicate—which might subject his conduct to misconstruction, and place him in the attitude of being govered as President by personal feeling and resentmen. He, therefore, left the son of his late competitor undisturbed in a most important office. There was in the action magnanimy and delicacy worthy of Gen. Taylor. Grant has none of it. There appears to be nothing high-minded honorable in his composition, hut everything which is exactly the reverse. — Vinehinati Enquirer.

A Negro Marries a Radical s Daughter and Sedues her Sister. Mr. Daniel Hoy is a radical who lives nt Lorberry, about four miles above Pinegrove, in this county. He is a thorough believer in the doctrines teachings and priciples of radicalism, and regularly votes the radical thicket. He was an advocate, to tho fifteenth amendment, and treats the negro as “a man and brother.” Mr. Hoy has a daughter, Eliza by name, who is very fair to look upon.. John Bowe is one of the “coming men,’’ as black as the ace of spades. Between John and Eliza some time since there sprung up a warm in-trnm-A* mut aff.-ction, which result ’ ed about two weeks since in the twain becoming united in the holy j bonds of matrimony. But this is not all! Mrs. Bowe has a sister, as fair to look upon as she. Between this sister and Mr. Bowe an intimacy has also existed, the fruits of which will be reaped shortly. “She loved not wisely, but too well,” and soon another Japhet will appear in search of a father. The New York Express has heard of one American woman in Europe, “who turned up her aristocratic nose at a pocket handkerchiefcosting 2,000 francs, demanding One which had to be fabricated and which was to cost not less than 10,000. / ——• According to an estimate made by a well informed traveler, the Chinese expend annually over 820,000,000 to appease and propitiate the souls of the dead. About 830.000,000 are annually expended iu worship of the Foo gods, and 8100,000,000 in the worship of family ancestors. A youth of 18, in New Bedford, who determined to marry against his father's will, was recently complained of as a disobedient chtld, and the case continued for sen- ; tence, so that be could be shut up for want of bail till his father‘gets ready to take him on a whaling voyage.

•pROSI’K4JTFS OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL UNION, The attention of. the Democracy throughout the Country is earncst’y called to the terrible condition of ’ affairs inaugurated and consummated by the party in power, which has deliberaely falsified its pledges and in defia/ico of the most snored obligations is moving Heaven and Earth to convert the liepublic and erect upon the ruins of Constitutional Liberty a hughe, remorseless and gigantic despotism which will reenact the horrors of the Old World. The earnest painful consideration of all thoughtful and reflective men who care more for country than they do for party has been directed to this fact, and they view with feelings of alarm the rapid march of the Radical party in its endeavors to erect an Empire upon this continent, instead of the Republic of our Fathers. By the most insidious and hypocritical’ steps it has steadily .advanced to its aim over the wreck and ruin of our most sacred constitutional guarantees. It inaugurated the bloodiest war of modern times to destroy that article of the Constitution by which every State has the right to regulate its domestic affairs. It pulled down the Habeas Corpus— it trampled upon trial by jury—it enforced the most ruthless conscription ever known in the history of nations—it covered the hills and valleys, of the South with half a million corpses of our best and bravest sons—it has piled upon us a debt not only appalling in its nignitude, and crushing the industry and prosperity of our people, but one also daily increasing making the rich richer and the poor poorcrit is steadily grinding down the people to a condition of far worse than At'ri-j, canslavery. It is eating up the substance of tjfe land by a foul, vile and unjust taxation, in order to obtain mone; to spread its corruptioir; —it is ruining tho country with its abominable tariffs—it lias subjected six million of our countrymen to the most odious despotism tthat humanity bus ever been subjected to — ,it has elevated a degraded and bs-sial race of negroes to complete social equality with ourselves, and Inja through fraud, thiough hypocrisy, through most monstrous villainy, elected to the Presidency n soldier whose only recommendation for that high office is that he is the supple and subservent tool of worst follies and crimes of the Radicals. Our GovjWnnent is a foul tyranny at home, a rcprriach and disgrace abroad. And all this unspecakablo misery and degradj at ion have been inipQscd upon our once free, happy and glorious country in order to change the fundamental principle of our Government, destroy our Republican institutions and build up a bloody and despotic Empire upon the ruins of the Republic, It now becomes the sacred duty of the Democratic party, in view of this terrible condition of tilings, to gird up their loins for a war to the knife upon Radicalism. There must be ho compromise. The Constitution of our Fathers is in tminiiunt daitycr! pur country men are enslaved, and the Radical party is forging the chains to bind our own limbs. Tho Democratic party must break them, and destroy the power of the Radical party to ever them again. Their chief magistrate has hypocritically said,“Let us have pracol? He means the •peace which masters give to si ives! The Dem- ' oeratic party, ever faithful to its old traditions of constitutional liberty and law, rises in the moral sublimity of its devotion to tho Constitution of our Father’s and tells the usurper and his fellow tyrants there shall be no peace until they respect the laws end institutions bequeathed us by the Sires of ’76-. Then shall be no peace, even if we continue the struggle until the Day of t Judgment, so long as the Republic is threatened. The Democratic party will permit no monarchy in our country, and pledges itself to resist all innovations upon our Republican institutions so loons one arm remains to wield a brand < . one breast remains to “bare itself to the battle-shock.'’

Upon the accession of General Grant to the Presidency, The Constitution si. Union stated that so far as was corais tent with our life-long devotion to De> ; octetic principles it would accord h - administration a cheerful support. Lu', he has shown himself so thorongly '• tool of the Radical usurpers, and ? gone so far to degrade a co-ordtua' branch of the Government, into a nomd. nl clerkship to Congress? that The V Kiox would stultity its high record tl it. could support him any longer. Uiiuw&i by the threats and unmoved by the temptations of power during the bloody days of the war, The Constitutional Union fought the tyranny of the Radicals and their despotic infractions of the Constitution with vigor, nn carncstnes" and a zeal which won for it a proud and honorable reputation as a powerful and unconquerable champion of Democratic institutions and Democratic principle: We take up arms again for the cndiuiper ed Constitution of our Fathers, and shall not lay them down again so long as it i‘) in danger. We cull earnestly u; > u HiDemocratic party to heed our adiuow. tions and imitate our example—to : yew the fight—to draw the sword ant throw away the scabbard, and to co” tinue the contest, neither giving nor asking quarter till the fight be over and the day be won, or we ourselves perish amid the general wrecks of all our liber tics. —- Inviting attention briefly so these new features, and assuring our many friends that in all cur relations we shall maintain our previous reputation, we offer the following unexampled inducements t 0 CLUBS : 5 2 OO Single copies,one year. ♦a w Two copies, one year 3 <<> Five copies, one year 9 0" Ten copies, one year 17 s'.
