For the Democrat. MY FANCY HOME. BT "MINNIE." Far in the depths of the wild-wood, I'd have my fancy home; The merry prattle of childhood Should echo from room to room. I'd have it hid on some lone spot, Away from the haunts of men, Where the lovely forget-me-not Would bloom in the shaded glen. Bright green vine3 should o'or it entwine, With flowers of every Lue, I'd plant around that home of mine The rose and the violet blue. I'd have no angrv tone or word Fall within my fancy home, I3ut accents of love should be heard, Dispelling sorrow and gloom. Books, with thoughts, of priceless worth I'd place in every room; O, dearer than any spot on earth, Should be my own loved home!

GoYcrnor Wright's Farewell Speech. Mr Fellow Citizens: Words are inadequate to convey to you my feelings. The tongue cannot express the emotions of the heart when the bettir impulses of our nature are fully aroused. You, my neighbors and associates for years, of all parties, Ktr t1?c lYiiiiifUetiiin f vmfr l.JmlnA: i'r.il partiality, by this free and generous outpouring of friendship, in addition to the in numerable number so frequently bestowed, ,ave placetl me ill such a condition that I , , , 11 x-Va t frankly acknowledge my inability to express to you the deep feelings of ray lieart. Oilier ovents in life's journey may be forgotten; but the scenes of this night the many evidences of your attachment during a residence of near forty -ears the many parting words of kindness which I have received from mv fellow-citizens can not, will not be erased from memory.s tablet. . , . - , , , r Hal favor of this people in the shape of popreferment. The highest office in their gift has been twice bestowed on me. I do not flatter myselt with the thought I that taw lecoirmzeu anv exiraorum.'.rv PUM jt ja m ? Th?v mav have fancied thev f""Und in me the ab?ncc of those bad qualv liii.Ji tcli on ilit vii, ini. 1 10 tint ruiblts .iv .3 11, un..i iiv.v,i' i--. in .aw .s ........ acts of ainl.itiou, and .elfish men, mako tlio i.e.,n!ö M their burthen. Certainly ! tiK'V tiicv did nol choose m? on neu u it of i any artiiict i superiority, for it was my misfortune? to be reared a poor boy, in the .Iny of small iliinirs, when the advantages , . ... , , of education were not within the reach of j tho poor. In common with my brethren of the West, my education has been more of the heart than the head. Such of us as hare been reared in the vrildernes9, have learned moro of our duty to our country and to one. another than of the "wiles of the courtier and the intrigue of capitals. Intrigue is tho companion of mimmon. With overthrown and unnatural wealth, insincerity, intrigue and unhalloweü ambition creep in. But you must not understand me to condemn ambition. When it pursues that noble and unselfish aim the good of humanity, tho elevation and improvement of !.!.! tn. l.1.untnff rf f1t IVl'l l't u ' i , r i ' uDon it. I speak only of that gross and i selfish kind which would tear down all merit to secure its own ascendancy. Virtue, talents, genius, appeal in vain. Stung on by th-i ares of mere physical temperament, it ireacU down tho nobler impulses of our nature, and prostrates all that i? lovely before it. For moro than Sftven years I have been Governor of the great State of Indiana. My feeble hands have been held up by tho kindness of tho people in thai difficult position. The moat pleasant mem ory that I shall carry with me to a foreign land will be the memory of their kindness, their forbearance. Nor will I forget those too partial fi lends who have clung to the last to me through all my political troubles. Thev will hold a place in my memory, not so much because they were inenos, as their friendship was not actuated or con1 A trolled by interest. 1 have naa pairo:ig . . I .IT ....I. and power. I have dealt out oince to mich as seemed deserving. Uhosoupon whom I have lavished my bePt gifts, liave uflCll proved faithless and ungrateful. I trust I have not overrated human nature, and yet I have often been deceived by men who professed to be my frienda. But I cannot bo deceived in those whose friendship lis sur vived tho tenure of office and the possibili ty of patronage. They are not the mere flios that buzz in the summer air that surrounds the successful. To them my mem ory shall revert from afar, dwelling with pleasure upon unsolicited favors conlerreü upon me, without the hope of any better reward than thanks and gratitude. And I am proud, this night, to know that even my enemies join my friends in ßaying that I have discharged my duty with fidelity to the peoplo in tho position in which they hare sustained me for seven years. While I have been persecuted and calumniated as a partisan, I thank God that I have been

able .0 serve all the people so acceptably, as a public officer, as to receive the approbation and praise instead of their execraiion and contempt. This thought has been my shield against the thousand arrows of my enemies. Their petty malice may rage and boil in them, and their bad passions may tear them bu; their suffering is in vain. They cannot filch from me the respect of a people whom I have governed and served without plundering their treasury or betraying their interests. They cannot alienate

from me the love of the people with whom it has been my pride to associate intimately all my life, and to whom I have given my opinions upon most subjects of public con cernment frankly, fully and earnestly, for what they were worth. Or if they should, the consciousness that that respect and love had been alieniated not from my own fink, but by the cunning acts of bid men, would console me for their loss. My Republican friends will excuse me while I address a few parting words to my Democratic brethren. I go abroad upon a commission the highest ever voluntarily tendered to a citizen" of Indiana, nnd which I accepted with great reluctance. My interests in every way in the opinion of my friends, my pride, my ambition, what little I have, all dictated that I should remain among you. On the other hand, the good of the Democratic party in Indiana, its peace and harmony, and to some extent, my own private interest demanded that I should accept it. And notwithstanding tho malignant denunciations and slanders of those Democrats who hate mo because they imagine I stand in the way of ethers, it is acknowledged that I have never failed the party in its time of need that I have never dodged its issues in the hour of danger, and that I have nv9 er failed to make any personal sacrifices which were thought necessary to its harmony and success. Though there aie greater e;ils llun diI. harmony is desirable, as wi.bout it success is uncertain, and a partyadvocating principles which it believes ought ever to look to success, thnt its principles may become the policy of the government. I have been denounced as a disorganizer an agitator. The imputation is false. The men who have made the charge do not believo one word of it. Not one of them doubts that if the parties were now being ill 1 1" ffl 1 1 I mi I t.kt It I'M. 1 IV I lil.lili ll'.ill M ha hm.ii.l j!" 3, w V ' I , - ;.. ... ..... ...... which I have done battle with tho slienirih God has given me f or more than a quarter if fl ''Oll 1 11 ft TliiUii vli l.niw nil .'2t , , , , ..... . know that in the late dillerepces b'-tween i i taken little part "loss indeed than my convictions of right and my peisonnl Iii -nilsnips wouia nave jusi.ned. w i.ai i.as uwmi 1 11 1 11 T I l I 1

sponsioio ior meir own aom, ana w no re-1 sent as false any charge that tlwy an? :ictutated and cont-ol!ed bv nie. It is true that in common with tlieni, I btdive that certain reforms are noccsary in ti c local policy of our State, and in the internal tactics of the Dcidociaiic party My opinions have been publicly xpr-ssed, and I am proud to add that 1 feel they have been sus . . . .. ... ... . . tained by l.e public. When their voice is not siihVd fr want of a fiiihful medium through which to express it, the great masses of the Democratic party are ever right. Content to be Democ rats because Democracy is right, and not ambitious of office or influence in the parly, they inslincively seize Upon and sympathize with what is honorable and right. "Honesty" is not a term of derision with them, and though for a time teir voice may be stiflod and their efforts thwarted through toe lakhlessness of leaders and representatives whom a fdse system of party tactics has trarped from the path of poli ieal rec;itude they will yet find a voice that will bo heard, nnd make an effort that will be felt. No name, no man, 's neeesary to them. They will find leaders for the hour, and a motto for the onslaught. There are no divisions in Indiana amon her noble Democracy upon national topics none about men. But there arc contro versiesarisingand affecting deeply tho public mind about the local policy of tho State. There are absorbing questions of State pol icy, "rowing out of laws enacted, not for the public good, but for tho purpose of plundering the people, and em iclnng the fjw. Though an effort has been made to make the impression that thero are divisions in tho State as the National Administration, you, my fellow ci.izens, know this is n H true. President Buchanan has brought peace to a distracted country, and restored confidence between contending sections The old Roman has thus far administered both the foreign and domestic policy of the government with consummate skill and wisdom. Coming into tho most difficult position ever occupied by a man, at a time mo6t iaauspicious, when tho institutions of

our country rocked to and fro in a storm of passion and sedition he has performed wonders. When we see the manifestation of such ability and its good effects upon our country, we must be actuated by a strange spleen if we could condemn the administration, merely because some trivial local offices have been filled with bad men, or men who have not deserved such distinction, or even because our State has not received her share of the Federal patronage. I know the latter point is a tender one. At the last election Indiana covered herself with glory. The victory of her Democracy in October, saved the President. It was the only unequivocal victory in the North. From a variety; of conspiring causes, the summit of political glory, we have sunk down to the very pit of political shame. Upon the authors of the disgrace let the wrath of its victims fall without mercy; but let no man censure the administration for evils that it could not avert and cannot remedy.

I predict tlii3 niht. and lime will fulfill the prediction, that the administration of James Buchanan will go down to the future as the ablest and most popular since the days of Jackson. Combining in his own person the Tirtues and the wisdom of the past generation, with the energy and ability of the present, Mr. Buchanan cannot fail, not only to extricate the country from her present difficulties, but to conduct her to a height of prosperity and glory from which she may descry her mighty destiny in the future. My fellow ci'.izens will pardon me for these allusions. I great v prefer to acknowledge ihe obligations I am under to you and the good people of Indiana for the'r many acts -of kindness and attachment through a period of near twenty-five years. But having no other opporiuni'y, I deemed it proper through you to say this much. You, mv fellow chizens, that believe I love excitement nnd political life are mistaken you knonr me not. I can engage in discussions with those who differ with mo upon great ques lons affecting the integrity and harmony of our cotintir, as I believe. I can throw the lance wiih my politcal enemies, but cannot engage in fi'hiinff the men f mv poliiical f.iith. I aeknowlpdw tha c.rreetiess of the char of mv rlW.i O . . . . - i!,w"ds - "Wj ) much for the sueCe.s ot your principles and party." Men win diner about the proper courso to be pursued in controversies among brethren of the same fauh. But when I err, let it bo on the side of my political bretheren. Let others do as they may, may it bo my course in life to so act, that when I hones'ly believe tho peace and harmony of my ctouiitiy is at issue, all my sacrifices may )0 maje u m v eountrv-nnthW frt, n detraciion. T-o manv men at thi d,, love money and office for me to ever expect J - - -w K J 'o nnd peace in pursuing a fr ank and open course. vivu me quiet and peace give me the approbation of my fellow citizens, acquired by fair and honest conduct; others may reap all the l uirels and glory, that result from slimier, detraction, money, and the power of office. Democrats and Republicans' whatever may be our difereuces in time tocorao upon national aflairs, do not nelegct the in terests of your own State; the bitter fruits of sueh iifglect in years past, are now beginning to bv- tasted. Do not sink the affairs of home, important to yourselves and to your families, to run into tho discussion of empty abstractions and wild theories concerning a peoplo who do not need either your sympathy or your aid. Time will settle, and doubtless settle, justly, the qnesiion upon which you are now div'ded. It is not fco difficult to make a- peoplo fr ee, as to fcrcp them so. Watch your own libcities, .Mid edueaie your chiidien to enjoy tin m. and your du'y towards mankind is more than half done. Take care of the intituuiions of your State. Build her up and make her mighty in ttealth, and stror.g arms and stout hearts, and happy m the intelligence and integrri;y of her sons, and the accomplishments, beauty, and virtue of her daughters. To you, my neighbors for moro than eight years, who havo been with me in all my trials nnd afflictions 'may heaven's choicest blessings rest. You have been to me the good Samaritan, time and tini again. To the good people of Indiana who have held up my feeble hands and sustained mo in the trying positions of past life, I owe more to you than I ever can pay. juy great regret is mat 1 have not 6erved you moro faiihlully. My mo tives have been misconstrued and often bad fellings engendered. But this hour, at the time cf parting with those I love, and in iho presence of 6omo who have found fault with many of my acts, I de clare to you that my great desire and am bition has been to serve Indiana, to faith-

fully guard the rights and interests of the people and watch carefully over her policy. Others may serve you more acceptably,

but none mote faithfully and honestly. Wherever I may go, whatever my future life may ba, the highest and dearest wish of my heart is the prosperity of Indiana and the welfare of her people. MARY tiooui:. CHAPTER I. All my life long I have known Mary Moore. All my life, too, I loved her. Our mothers were old playmates, and first cousins. My first recollection is of a boy in a red frock and morocco shoes, rock ing a cradle, in which reposed a sunnyhaired baby, not quite a year old. That boy was I, myself Harry Church; that blue-eyei baby was Mary Moore. Later still, I see myself at the little schocl-house, drawing my little chaise up to the door, so tnat Mary might ride home. Many a beating have I gained on such occasions, for other bors besides me liked her. and she. I fear. wa snmethinrr nf 1 flirt, even in her pinafores. How elccautly she came tripping down the steps, when I called her name! how sweetly her blue eves looked un at me! how onilfv r,n, t her merrv WM No on hnt Urxr M ax-ar- vi.?n i-.n toi.f -. iVn vw uiinj, t- Iii iw jici iij;o; x ivllU.Ved thatlauffh from mv dara of rdiildhnnd. till T rrraxxr otri-rro t followed it through the heated noon of man-hood-and now. when the frosts of are silvering my hair, and my children climb my wicc iuiu uau mo iaiucr, i nuu mat the memories of youth are strong, and that, even in grey hairs, I'm following its music still. When I was fifteen, the first great sor-j row of mj life came upon my heart. I was sent to school, and was obliged to part with Mary. We were not to see each other for three long years! This to me was like a i sentence of death. But hearts are very tough things after ajj I left college in the flush and vi-or of my nineteenth rear. ! was no lon-er awkward and embarrassed. I had if rown into 3 a tall, slender stripling, with a very good opinion of myself, both in general and particular. If I thought of Mary Moore, it was to imagine how I would dazzle and bewilder her with my good looks and wonderful attainments never thinking that she might dazzle and bewilder mo still r . ... . more, i was a sad coxcomb, 1 know: but ' ' youth and good looks have fled, I trust I ' mav be belfeved when I say'that self-con-ceit has left me also. . , . , An advantageous proposal was made to me at this time, and, accepting it, I gave .... . i. , , up all ideas of a profession, and prepared 1 . . t . , . . to go to the Indies. In mv hurried visit home of two days, I saw nothirg of Mary Moore.

India was my salvation, not merely bocause of my success, but because my laborious industry had counteracted tho evil taken place. They loved mo as I was,' I murmured to myself, 'and" they shall find out for themselves whether 1 am better worth loving than formerly. I packed" up many a token from that land of romance and gold for the friends I hoped to meet. The gift for Mary Moore I selected with a beating heart. It was n ring of rough, virgin gold, with my name and hers engraved on the inside that was all, and yet the sight of the little toy strangely thrilled me, as I balanced it oh the tip of my finger. To the eyes of others it was but a small plain circlet, suggesting thoughts, perhaps by its eleganee of tho beautiful white hand that was to wear it. But to me, how much waB embodied there!

CHAPTER II. j Tall, bearded, and son-bronzed, 1 knocked at the door of my father's house. Tho light? in the parlor windows, and the hum of conversation and cheerful laughter, showed me that company was assembled there. 1 hopod my sister Lizzie would come to the door, and that 1 might greet my family when no strange eye wa9 looking curiously on. But no a servant answered my summons. They were too merry in the parlor to heed the long absent one, when he asked for admittance. A bitter thought like this was passing through my mind as 1 heard the sounds from the parlor, and saw the half surpressed smile on the servant's face. 1 hesitated a moment before 1 made myself known, or asked after the family. And while 1 stood silent, a strange apparation grew up before me. From behind the servant peered out a small golden head a tiny, delicate form followed, and a sweet chiIdish faCC th bllle CJ?3' S Hfled UP 10 miue-so 1,Ke 10 115039 who Had ""0UMSU" ouf mat 1 back Wlth a suJden felinß of 'What U .V0Ur liarae' m7 Me one?' 1 I asked, while the wondering servant held She lifted her hand as if to shade her ( 1 had S2en tfcat ver7 attitudo in other' iu n bo) nd. ny nd many a ilmQ) and a"ered in a sweet d-ke voice 'Mary Moore.'
