ClCft f Oftfll. HOMELESS. Homeless in a wide world of homes. What care 1 tint hope has fled? Let each wintry storm that comes Beat on my unsheltered head, I am growing hard and col J, Statue -like on life's broad plain, Things that tortured me of old, Give not now a moment's pain. Hopes have fled my morning path, Darkness shrouds my noon of day, And misfortune's cloud of wrath Settles on my future way. On the deasert plain I stand Where no light or bloom may come, Palsied seems my drooping hand And my icy lips are dumb. Eixed and O ! how chill I grow, As this sorrow o'er me creeps, Scarce I hear life's rude winds blow, Or the storms that round me sweep. Homeless in a world of homes, What care I that hope has fled 7 Every bitter storm that comes, Brings me nearer to the dead. 1 Vat narrow, silent home, .re my hopes are lying low, Wrl I . , W " " " " J Finding rest from all my woe. Spiritual Railway. WRITTEN BT LORENZO DAWS, AS fXDIAN CHIEF, IN THE 52D TEAR OF HIS ACE. The line to Heaven by Christ was made With Heavenlv truth the rails are laid, From earth to Heaven the liac extends To life eternal, where it ends. Repentance is the station, then, Where passengers are taken in; No fee is there for them to pay, For Jesus is himself the way. The Bible then is engineer It points the way to Heaven so clear, Through tunnels dark and dreary here, It does the way to Glory steer. God's love, the fare Hs truth, the steam. Which drives the engine and the train, All you who would to Glory ride Must come to Christ, in Him abide. i In first, and second, and third class, Repentance, Faith and Holiness. You must the way to Glory gain, Or you with Christ can never reign. Come then, poor sinner, now'i the time. At any place along the line; If you repent and turn l'rom sin, The train will stop and take you in. Jackson' Farewell Address. In riiiiH from the dike of Present, General Jackson issued a farewell address to his couiiliymen. In it he dwelt on the value of the Union, and impressed ou his countrymen the importance of its presetvatton. Among other things he said : Has the warning voire of Washington been forgotten? or have designs already been formed to sever the Union? Let it be supposed that I impute to all those who have taken an active part in these unwise und unpiofitablo discussions a want of patnotism or public virtue, ine nonoraiwe feelings of state pride and local attachments lind a place in the bosom of the most enlightened and pure. Cut while such men are conscious of their own integrity and honesty of purpose, they ought never to forget that the citizens of other States are political brethren, and that however mistaken thei may bo in their views, a great body ot them are equally honest and upright with themselves. Mutual suspicions and reproaches may in time create mutual hostility, and artful and designing men will be always found who are readv to foment these fatal divisions, and to inflame the natural jealousies of different sections of the country. The history of the world is full of such examples, and especially the history ot republics. What have you to gain by division and diaseniion? Delude not yourselves with the belief thata breach, once made may not be afterwards repaired. If the Union is once severed, the lino of seperation will grow wider, and the controversies which are now debated an 1 settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried on the fields of battle, and determined by the sword. Neither should you deceive yourselves with the hope that the first line of seperation would be the permanent one, and that nothing but harmony and concord would be found in tbo new associations formed upon the dissolution of litis Union. Local interest would still be found there, anl unchastened ambition. And if the iho recolleciion of common dangers in which the people of these United States stood side by side against the common foe; the r..emory of victories won by ther united valor; the prosperily and happiness they have enjoyed under the present constitution; the proud name they bear as citizens oi this great republic if aUtbese recollections and proofs ol common interest aro not strong enough to bind us together as one people, what tie will hold united the new division of empire, when these bonds have been broken and the Union dissevered? The first lines of operation would not last for a single generation ; new fragments would be lorn olf. new leaders would spring up, and this great and glorious republic would noon be broken into a muttitudo of petty States, without commerce, without credit, jealous of one another, armed for mutual aggressions, loaded with taxes to pay armies ar.d leaders, seeking aid against each other for foreign powers, itiHultd and trampled upon by the nations of Europe, until "harrassed by conflict!, and humbled and debased in spirit, they would be realy to submit to the absolute dominion of any military Adventurer and to surrender their liberty for ihe sake of repose. It if impossible to look on the consequences that would inevitably follow the destruction of this government, and not feel indignant when wo hear cold calculations afcut the value of the Union, and have constantly before us a line of conduct so well calculated to weaken its tie."

INDIANA, THURSDAY, MARCH U I860.

That Resolution. The Convention on Silurday adoped the following resolution, reported by a composed of Dr. J. B McFarland, G. S. Orth, Wm. C. Wilson, W. R. Ellia and R. C Gregory : JiesolveJ, That American slavery is a sin against God; at war with every en no bling sentiment of humanity; a withering blight upon our prosperity; a cur6e to the white man and to the black, its continuance is a living disgrace to our age and nation. and the day of its utter extinction will be hailed as the proudest epocn in American history; that while we claim no power to interfere with slavery in the btates in which it exists, we are unalterably oppos ed to its further extension. We can see no propriety in the enuncia lions of anathemas and epithets against slavery where it exists under the Constitu tion, by a party claiming to be national.The resolution is inconsistent in itself, for if 'we claim no power to interfere with slaveiy in the States,' there is an evident impropriety in denouncing it in the un measured terms of the resolution. Inter feretice by words is unnecessary, if we do not intend to interfere by acta. The error in this matter is the incorpo ration into a party platform of any senti nient upon which, as a party we do not in tend to act. The tendency of the docrines of the Republican party, not its avowed intentions, is alleged as the evidence of its sectionalism. If such resolutions as this one are adopted into State and national platforms, the charge is just and the fear well founded. Why should a party which intends sole to resist the extension of slavery, resolve that 'its continuance is a living disgrace to our age and nation? Why should ä party that repudiates John Brown resolve that 'day of its utter extinction will be hailed as the proudest epoch in American history?' Why, if we claim no power to interfere with slavery in the States, do we constitute ourselves the keepers of the nation, and resolve 'that American slavery is a sin against God?' Does the Republican party propose to inaugurate a religious crusade against the South? What good purpose does it subserve for a northern party, claiming itspect for the Constitution, to march its forces right up to Mason & Dixon's line and there vociferate 'slavery is a sin against God; at war with every ennobling principle of humanity; a withering blight upon our prosperity; a cuase to the white man and the black; its continuance is a disgrace to our age and nation, and the day of its utter extinction will be hailed as the proudest epoch in American history; but still, 'we claim no power to interfere with ill Such bravado as this is but the Iangnage of the coward. The most foolish, as well as the most inconsistent tiling an'indivieunl or a party can do, is to use high and lofty words of darin?, at the same time admitting that there is no chance (or a fight; to insist that it is sinful not to ti:rht, but nnconstitutional to ti-hi;that nohting but the national constitution prevents the removal of a national disgrace ! One cannot but think that those individuals who regard slavery as a living disgrace to our tuition, and also a sin airainsi God, are usini; the old constitu i ion lor a very shabby purpose If that venerable institution is the only obstacle to the remotal of a sin against God and a national disgrace, why profess any regard for ii? Why not abate the nuisance at once; Respect for the rights of sister States is not to be cultivated by denunciations of them. The inevitable tendency of such proclamation is evil. If the burden of our song is 'slavery U a sin a 'national disgrace,' and a 'withering blight,' it is not to be wondered at that here and there some practical abolitionists mistakes it for the batt e cry. A party calling upon 'all those opposed to the doctrines and policy of the present Federal Administration,' 'without regard t past party associations, should not announce as its sentiment opinions upon any abstract questions not involved necessarily in the contest. The most ultra abolitionist can vote for the non-extension of slavery into territory now free, yet it by no means follows that every Republican and opponent of tho Administration can resolve that its 'continuance is a lasting disgrace to our age and nation.' We do not regal d the continuance of slavery as a disgrace to our nation. The Republican party 1 1 h v i 1 1 lT declared it sectional how can it be held by that party a national disgrace. The true Republican docliine i simply and solely non-extension into territories now fre. Its adherents have quite enough to do to 6how to tho American people that territory acquired by the joint blood and treasure of Southern and Northern States. should not be equally and fairly ivided between them. Quire enough without running olf into irreveleut questions 'not at issuo. Declamation may answer as a medium for individual opinion, but is not the safest plan for the enunciation of the principles upon which a party proposes to act. Mind your own business is as good a maxim in politics as anywhere ele. Good manners promt in to silence in regard to the local institutions of neighboring States. Slavery is their institution, their sin and disgrace, if disgrace at all. not ours. Abuse of the institution, where it exists constitutionally, inevitably strengthens it and retards the very object of the abuser. It does not follow because a friend has a horror ol clean linen that a public resolution deiioiinciiiir dinv whirls is the best way to improve his app-arance or temper. It is most apt to do neither, but rather t induce him to swear, in his wrath, tht the care of his wardrobe is a right secured to him by the constitution, und that dirty shirts ate decidedly preferable to any other kind.

Stephens, who occupies an honorable position in American literature. has addressed a long letter to V ictor Hugo. the French romancer, who took it upon himself to send a communication to the London Jlorniny Star, deprecating the ex ecution of John Brown by the Virginia authorities. Mrs. Stephens says in open inir : Sr Your letter to the London Star has found its way into the American press. tor which it was doubtless intended. If ardent enthusiasm could win justice from her strict course yours might have had some efl'ect upon the destiny of John Brown. But all the eloquence of genius cannot take the blackness of treason, or the crimson stain from murder. It re quires something more than an ouiburst of fine poetry to turn cn'rae into patriotism something more than impetuous de nunciations to check the solemn footsteps of justice. John Brown was tiied, condemned, and executed as a traitor a iruard of Amet ican citizens stood around the scaffold, sad at heart, but steady in their in th'ir de votion to the laws. The Legislature of a great Commonwealth sot, deliberate-. after his sentence, and pronounced it just. The Federal Union, in which thirty mill ion of souls throb, stood by in 6olemu silence while the treason of this man was expiated. It is, indeed, a terrible picture you have drawn ; but the streets of Harper's Ferry had one more terrible still. Ihere, in nocent mea, all unconscious of danger, were shot down like wild animals. There, widows, newly bereaved, knelt moaning t i over tnelr deaa husbands ana orphan children cried, aloud for the parents that John Brown had so ruthlessly murdered. This picture vou have forgotten to place side by side with the other ; but we who love our countrymen have sympathy for the innccent as well as pity for the guilty. You complain that this trial was hurried, that the jury sat only for'y minute, and that all the proceeding were indecorously urged forward ; but were they so swift as the title balls that shot down unarmed men in the streets at Harper's Ferry ? Were they so ruthless as John Brown's midnight descent upon a sleeping village in Kansas, where husbands an I sons were dragged out of their beds, and shot down within hearing of their wives and mothers? Is this the man you speak of as "pious, austere, animated with the old puiit.vn spirit, inspired by the spirit of the Gospel." while you call his companions "sacred martyrs ?' Victor Hugo, in his tatter says : "Let the Judges of Charleston and the slaveholding Jurors, and the whole population of Virginia ponder on it well they are watched they are r.ot alone in the world. To which our fair countrywoman replies as follows : They have pondered on it well, and the execution of John Brown has taken place. If the whole American Republic wero resposible for his death, as you say it is- it would simply bo responsible for a most painful duty solemn performed ; and received with mournful resignation even by the most meiciful, because of its imperative necessity. Justice demanded the life of this man for he had taken human life necessity demand it. for ho was the spirit and soul of a treason that threatened the foundations of our nationality that would forever have been plotting more bloodshed 6o Ion" as he lived on earth. 5TThe defeal of Sherman, for Speaker, vexes the Traitors, in and out of Congress, very much. Sherman is fully posted in their schemes for dissolving the Union, and they ex pec ed that 1 u position as Speaker would aid them in carrying out their deigns.

conn vy ic ate d. For the Democrat. A GLANCE AT Helper's Imp3nding Crisis. BT INVESTIGATOR. Horace Greeley, the editor of the acknowledged organ of the Republican party, whose name is attached to the circular, nys of the book: Were tverycitiz?n in possession of the f-icts embodied in this bok. we feel confident that slavery would soon pas away, while a Republican triumph in 1 COO would be morally certain." There is no reader fo ignorant of poli tics, but knows that the Republicans aie proud to acknowledge the Tribune as their organ, and let no opportunity pass to extend its circulation and defend its doctrines. We are indebted to this authority, which no Republican wiil question, for a free and full avowal of thir intentions in regard to circulating the book. It is intended for general "in those States tthich are to decide the next Presidential elec tion ' If it is not intended and recognized as a Republican electioneering document, why is it necessary to circulate 100,0U0 copies gratuitously in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana. Illinois, whete there is not a slaveholder? If it is for the South, why not circulate ti e 10U.OÜU among the poor of that region who have been so ciuelly managed by the oligarchy? The reason is obtious: There is not the shadow of probability that they could carry a single slave State or county, even with ihf help of the Crisis, and theii circulating it in Northern State, where the difference in strength between the two parties is insignificant, is pioof. plain as holy writ, that it is dr signed and expected to benefit the Republican cause where cir culated. No other consideration could possibly have induced them to spend sixteen thousand dollars in printing and circulating the book. Before we peruse a book, either of fiction, history or religion, we naturally inquire into the character of the author, and his motives for writing the book. Our author is not one of the celebrities which the sale of his book might lead us to infer; but we believe this is his secord effort at book-writing; his 'first was written to aid in the establishment of blavery in Nicaia"tia: and the second to aid in abolishing slavery inthe United Slates. If an autlx-ri contradicts his own words, and stultifies himself in a manner which haves no doubt of his dishonesty, he. and those who endorse hist w jrk, should be held up lo the execration of those who esteem truth aud virtue paramount to poliii -al success. Our author. Helper alias Heifer. professes to b:. native of North Carolina "born, bred, and brought up" right in the very eyes and teeth of slavery, and is therefore competent lo j'idge f its evil effects. In consideration of his opportunities for obtaining a knowledge of the practical workings of the institution, he would have us take his honest and I ng settled convictions, as gospel truth. Unless his honesty has- somewhat improved since he left his nativa State, we would prefer something more reliable, in as important a matter as this. He was engaged as a clerk in the store of a Mr. Brown, when a young man, (ro'.i whom he to k three hu.idred dollars, at the suggestion of fellow-clerk, who iafirmed him that u was customary to take that amount from their employers. In his -'d-ar na ive South," he flourished under the cognomen of Heifer, bm after hi three hundred dollar exploit, he changed it to IK-lper, pib ablv from a knowledge of its appropiiaieness having an "irrepressible" dchire t help himseli t his employer's change. Immediately after this financial exploit, he left the State, and the next we hear of him is in California, where he compiled a book entitled the 'Land of Göhl,' in which he gave utterancoto the mos pro-slavery sentiments and labored lo convince the readers of the book, that California and Nicaragua could never fulfill their misejon. uni;.l they introduced Negro sliver). Slavery was spoken of and treated upon as one of iv beneficent institution for the white race, without which Southern cli nis could never bo brought into a proper state of culti vation, and the arts and sciences placed upon a firm foundation. It will be remembered that this book was published in 1855. a little less than two years prior lo the publication of ihe Crisis, whiuh makes it very plin that tht author commenced the compilation of the Crisis immediately aft6r the publication of the 'Land of Gold; and whed he makes the following statement on his preface, he most certainly lies: What I have committed to psper, is but a fair rflx of the ho est and long nettled co:ivi;rtions of my heart." If the treasonable and pernicious ?oni ments contained inthe Ci Sisare the 'tni eit and long-ttttltd convictions of his

heart,' he morr.lly perjured himself in tht publication of the 'Land of Gold which would be about as reprehensible as teilinf the mcst atrocious lies in the Impending Crisis. Neither the character or ability of tb book would entitle it to any notice whaU ever; but being endorsed and recommend ed by the dominant party in the North, and fjrming a part of the creed and plan of action of that party, it is entitled td the sr. me notice that any other political document emanating lrom the same source would receive. It is not the merits of th book which have given it sueh an unex .-im plod notoriety almost in a day, but its demerits. Its reputation is of the character of old Brown's known throughout the land, and detested by every tru citi zen of the Republic. No man are so deep but shallow places' may be found in them.

A writer in the Westminister Review once look a position that alcohol is food, and offered the following logic in proof of it: "Food is force, Alcohol is foice, Therefore alcohol i3 food." Dr. Musseco gives a formula equally le gitim.ite and cenclusive, namely: "Horse feed is force. Whipping a horse is force. Therefore, whipping a hor6e is horse leed." To which capital logic, our John adds' "Mv ma is a woman. Queen Vi. torii is a woman. Therefore, Queen Victoria is my ma.' Our Jeems thus xpresses his sentiments lather harshly, though neverthe !
