before rtiia hat was made, King George waa on his throne. Our fathers all were rebels then; And fought fur Washington: The Tories cheered Tor old King George The revolution through. And bragged about their loyally, Ero ihia old hat waa ftewt When this old hst was new, The sons of that baae crowd Revived I he cry of 'Loyally,' And bellowed it aloud:

The government our fathers made Kur them would never do: And they havo torn its bulwarks down Since this old hat waa new. When this old hst was new, There was no public debt. No greenbscks took the piece of gold; No millionsre Lad yet His pile in Heven-thiniee spent, On which no lax was due: But eseh man fairly paid bis' tax, When this old hat was new. When this old hat ttas new, This land was in its prime; Miscegenation waa untaught In all this happy elime ; And whits folks then waa thought as Guod sa Sambo, Cuff, or Sue' But things have sadly changed about Since ihia old bat was new. When this old hat was new, The poor while men waa free. And every year a bran new buy Cuuld dandle on hie knee; But now, for every child he has, Hr is tsfted lo sll is blue; But things I tell you, were not so When ibis old bat waa new. When ibis old hat was new, Gold dollars did abound, Aud not a stamp in all the land Could anywhere be found; Hut now you dare not kisa your wife Unleas you sismp her, too; Bui things, I tell you were not so When this old list was new. Prophesies of Mr. Clay and Mr. (JalhorJ

In 1843 Mr. Clay who led the Whig hosts in the campaign of 1844, made the follow-

ng prophecy:

The agitation of Slavery in :hc free Slates'

vill

M. Destroy all harmony. 2d. Lead to division. , 3d. To poverty. 4th To war. 6th. To the extermination of the black

race.

fiih. To ultimate despotism. Chsrleston papers republish Calhoun's

prediction of 1825, attaching to it mdeh

sign! flea fire. It ia as follows:

The blar.ka, Od the profligate whitea that

might unite with them, would become the principal recipients of the Federal offices and patronage, and would, in consequence,

be raised abuve the whites of the South in

the political and soeial scale. We would,

n a word change our conditions wilh them,

a degradation greater than haa yst fallen lo

the lot of a free and enlightened people, and from Which we could Bot eecape, ehoald

emancipation take place (which it eeriafnly

will if not prevented,) but by fleeing the homes of our ancestors, snd by abandoning

our country lo our former slavee, lo become

the permanent abode of disorder, anarcby poverty, misery and wretchedness.

A farmer who hsd employed a green

Emef aider, ordered him to give the rfrole

some corn in the ear. On his coming in

the fsrmer asked:

Well, Mike, did you give the mule the

corn! To be sure I did.' How did you give ill' An' ehure, as yon told me, In the Ml.' But how much did you give!'

Well, you ace the crabtur would notbord

From the Rockport Democrat, the Republic!. Platform. The Republicans of Indiana met in coo

veotion at Indianapolis, on the 20th uli., and among other ihioge sdopted aa a part of their platform the following, which ia

the fourth reaolutioo: 4. The public debt, made necessary by

the rebellion, ahould be honeatly paid, and

all the bonoN iaaued therefore ahould be paid in legal lenders, comonly called greenbacks, except where, by their express terms provide otherwise. Tbe Convention eleo airoagly endorsed

the acts of one Senator Morton (or the pssl

nix yeare, and by so doing endorsed lo fol

lowing sentiment uttered by him in bis Col

umbus speech. Said Morion: .

'The blsck cloud of repudiation ia already above the horizon, ita boaom charged with ihe livid lightnings of dishonor and destruction, and it is only wailing for a brerse a Democratic trotze to spread it over the land.' Aa the resolution endorsing Morton il among the !est adopted, me muettake it that the laat utterance is very decidedly in opposition to greenbacks. Verily the Democratic bree te is blowing, and haa already become t tornado Carrying every thing before it.

Again aays Merlon, in tbat same Colum

bus speech:

Let me urge upon the repudiators, how

ever, that their effort a lo repudiate be made againat the bonda directly, and not through

the medium of irredeemable greenbacks.

It is true, to repudiate Ihe bonda would de

troy Ihe national honor."

That resolution endorsing Morton baa eaved the national honor, but at the aame

time, t!:e greenback pliitik was completely

demolished.

Again said Morton, in his Colombo speech, that thoae who favor paying the debt in greenbacks believe in ntier depravity, and upon that lound their laat hope of ills

aud powei,'

According lo Morton the Republican par ty of Indiana have become utterly depraved. We suspect s majority of the votes of Indi ana will ao deride next October. Again aaya Morion: The proposition to pay the public debt

in advance ia unnecessary, impracticable and destructive, and would result in benefit lo none, unless it would bs the gold gamblers, and they would ultimately be 'hoisted by

their own petard.' sa they were st tbe close uf the war 'Morion's Finance Letter.

The Radicals do not wish a further iasue

of greenbacks, and therefore endorsed Sen

ator Morion, knowing that tbey can read his letter on finance to the bondholders lo

prove that they are with them.

Again, in that same letter, aays Morton:

Another inflation of the currency would

be attended with another ascent aod doseent

oi prices, and wilh immense disasters loth

nation.

Morton has been endorsed by Convention,

end the Radical party of Indiana ia opposed

to a further issue of greenbscks

We give one more extrsct from Morion's

Columbus speech, wb'.eh reads thus:

'One of the lateet forms rn which reiudl ation baa shown its horrid front i Ihe prop

oaltion to pay off the wbolS national debt ia

greenbacks'

The Rsdioal Convention endorsed Morton, and of course endorsed tbst sentimtnt. It

ia the laat plank in their platform. Will the people of Indiana beget" be de ceived by such snakes. We think rVot.

Mr. Sherman, from the Committee oo Fi

nance, a few days ago reported sn amend

merit bill for funding- the national debt, in which report be ataled tbat there are now

$514 'J8O,6O0f IbO first iseos of tire 6 90

bonda falling doe; of Ihe second issue 9129, 423800 fslliog due in 186f, and $482,91$,

10U in 1870; of the 730'a, $480,00OO0.

Ths total ol bonds which are now redeem abie, or will be in I few years, is $1,71,

600,000. The first question now is; ere we

prepared lo redeem theae bonds! It has already been made a political iasue as to when

tbe 5 20's wili be redeemed. i

Mr. Shernsn's allusion to the coarse of tbe Indiana Republican Convention, endorsing

the greenback policy, disgusted Senator

Morton, who declared at Columbua, Onto,

laet lall that sueb a policy waa repudiation

The Cincinnati Gazette, In speaking of the resolutions passed at Indianapolis on the 20 h day rrf February, by the Republican

Convention, aays: Itends to make sll Ihe prophesies and forTbe reeoletion in favor of more legal- jbodioga of its enemies true. The great tsndars and of greenback pay mem of trie struggle in New Hampshire has been upon onds does notdo justice to the atrength andjibe advanced lines. The friends of the apiritof tbe Republican party, which needs Constitution and of thÜl liberijf it was de

le resort to ao such policy lo ksep tbe government of the codntry out of the bandaof those Whrj tried to destroy it.'

Tbs Gbzetis is innocent. Why the Rad

icals couldn't carry a single district iu the Stale without this Saving plank, it was put there te gu'l the people, Radical politicians well knowing that their representative in Congren would sever vote for tbe measure. Tbe Republicans In the State of New Vork are t little mere independent. In their Convention tbey nominated Gradt for Pres

ident on a platform which hee bot (wo planks in it. due ia negro supremacy; the other, gold for lbs bondholders. They seem lo be

working on the 'pig and puppy' order, jusi

ss it suits them, lo New York thsy go for

gold; in Indiana they go for greenbacks.

The Campaign in Connecticut Speech

of Senator Doolittle He Arraigns and impeaches Congress. The gains bf the Democracy in the New

Hampshire election encobragea and animates the Democrata lb Connecticut. If tbey make in proportion the same gain as

was made by the Democrats of her sister

State, Conheciicut will give 3 000 Demo

cratic majority iti April.

Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin, spoke si Hartford, on Ihe 1 1th . At the close of bis

speech, he 'arraigned and impeached Con

greaa,' ss follows:

In conclusion, fellow citizens, while the impeaobment of President Johnaou cloaes my mouth upon ibe su'ject of bis impeach

menl, while delicacy end duty forbid me to

jepeak upon that, my mouth is not closed,

and no considerations of duty, and delicacy

will prevent me from epeaking of another impeaehmenl, and before a tribunal more au

gust than ihe Senate, la tbe name of coo

stiiu'ionsl liberty, in tbe name of our great

ancestors who laid the foundations of ihia

Government to secure the liberty for thern

aelves and for us, in the name of all who

love that liberty, who are ready to atruggle

and. if need be. to die rather than allow

it to be overthrown, in the name of the com-

ing genefalfone shd of tbat race to which

we belong and which haa given to the world all ita civilization, I do arraign and impeach tbe radical policy of ths present Congrete of high crimea and misdemeanors. At ihe bar of the American people, in the pte'eooce ol

high heaven and before tbe civilized world, I

impeach it, first ss a crime against tbe Uws of nature Which God tho Almighty has' stamped upon the raeea of mankind, because it attempts to force a political and so

cial, tfA'd unnatural equality between the

African snd the Cahestfisn, between an

alien Inferior, end exotic race from the tropics, with ths highest type of the human race

iu the home of the latter' in temperate zone. Second, I impeach it sa a crime againat civilization, because it would by force

wrench the Government out of the hands

ol the civilised white rsce in ten States of

tbe Union to place it in tbe bands of the balf civilized African. Third, I impeach it

aa a crime against the Caaatitution, because

it tramples dofl the right of the Statea to

fijf. for themselves Ihe qnalificationa of their Own voters, a right without which a State

ceases to be republican at II. Fourth, 1 im

peach it aa a crime against the Conaiitution

Sad against national faith became it annula

the pardons constitutionally granted to hun

dreda of Iboonands of the most intelligent

white men of tbe South, and in palpable vio latfon ef Cenetilulion diefraocbiaee fhem

FiTtb, I impeach it ee a orime egsfnal tbe

etlatence ef ten atatea ef the Union, and the liberties of eight millions, of people, because in rxYreta terms it annula all civil government bp which alone thoae liberties may be secured, and plaeae them finder an

abaolote military deepotism. Sixth, I Im peach It ee a crime agaioat humanity, lead

log to produce a wer of races, to the utter

destruction Of one or both, a reeult which

can not be prevented without a large army,

which neither our resources will besr, or our liberiiee long survive. Seventh, I impeach

it aa an alter abandonment of the purpose for which the, wer wee prosecuted, of Ibe Mea upon which we fosgbt and mastered the rebellion. It lends to make false all the promisee end pledges made by the friends of the Obverhment in its fearful striij'g'c lo put rti the rebellion. n it

aignsl to secure, while they bravely held their own aod made large gaina, nave not won a complete victory. Perhaps a complete triumph in New Hampshire now would have

allowed tbe people of other Slates to imagine the great victory already won to be less

wise and less prudent, and to underrate ihe tremendous struggle necessary to meet snd overcome the radicalism which, in the name of a great and successful General, now threatens to destroy the Constitution , the most sacred rights of the States under It, and the liberties of the people have a revolution in favor of centralization and imperialism more inaiduous, but not less dangerous, than seceaaion itself. Yesterday, although they were centered upon the friends of conetitulional liberty in New Hampshire,

they etood nobly; when blowa fell fast snd

thickest, they advanced, tbey gained, but

not all that was hoped. To-day all eyes are turned upon Connecticut; with equal exertions, your majority of Isst yesr will be more than treble, and then if our conven

tion in New York on ihe 4th of Julv nrxf

will select our stsndsid bearers, and placing

ibem upon the issues of tbe brisen!: and

not of the past, and whoever tbey be, civilians or military mem statesmen or Generals, from the East or West, if they do not plsce ua upon the defensive, but give the word to advance on the whole line from Maine to California, we must be victorious in tho great straggle in November, unless truth snd justice and the love of true liberty have ceased lo rule the hearts aod cousciencoa of

the American people. OCT3 A Radical friend who has been laboring long and ardmmaly to con-, vince na tbat the nero ia a bein of brilliancy, bauds tfa tliö following poetical "aockdologer."
