AFTER ALL. The apples are ripe in the orchard, The work o:"the reaper is done, And the golden woodlands redden In the Hood of tbe dying sun. At the cottage door the grandire SMtd pale in his easy chair; While the gentle wind of twilight Plays with his silver hair. A woman is kneeling beside him, A fair young head is pressed, In the wildest passion of aorrow, Against his aged breast. And far from over the distance The faltering echoes come. Of the flying b ast of trumpet And the rattling roll of drum. And the grand.dre speaks in a whisper, "The end n man can see; But we give him to his country. And we give our prayer to Thee." The violets stir the meadows. The rose buds fringe the door. And over the grassy orchard, The pink-white blossoms pour. 3ut the graudsirc's chair is empty, The cotti ge is dark and still; There is a nameless grave in the battle-field, Aud a new one under the hill. And a pallid, tearless'woman, By the cold hearth sits alone, An l the old clock in the corner, Ticks uu with a heavy drone.

Speech of Hon. C. A. WlckllfTo of Kentucky, 'tthe Democratic Muss Convention, on the 3Jth tilt., at Indianapolis. Mk jWiCKLiFFE, being introduce by Mr. Hendricks, alluded briefly to tVj former relations between Indiana r.nd Kentucky. The words of th. gintl?man who had presented him brought to his memory the events of fifty years ago. It was then a time of war; of a war waged by tlie people by the Democracy, be might say of the United States against Great Britain for free trade and sailors' rights. Indiana and Kentucky bad no s tilors iropressUen. 3 now, those who made our troubles shut themselves up like a terrapin in its shell in their New England States, and left us to fiht their battles. G.d blessed in then. Mav God bless us now. May He bless our efi'urt in maintaining the Constitution as it i and res'orinsf it ftS it va. against tbe wicked S-ce.-sioniits of ih'S South and ti e still mote winked Abolitionists of the North. Kentucky bad authorized him to sy that for tbe cause of the Constitution and the Union 6he would devote her ali. Would ever Indiana and Kentucky consent that the Union should be divided by the Ohio Uiver? ( "No, no.") Indi'in.i will do as frhe h;is done before, !',r ('ul 'lHr prioU8 blood defending our f,,.t. i,.Rli;utu.iiH against all tl,oe who are C mhi'itrd agtinst them. . Upon correct nr;11(,.,.u L.dina w:.nhl !.-. tbl l,r tb (juiou and the Constitution uhe would do this. Fr the Union and tbe Constitution she would do h, but not to carry out the j,,,, f fiec(iuna pn or ,he j. ,v u ei 1 1 heieof, whether in or out of power. It had been asserted tbat slavery must ! "x inguished before wo can have peace. When was this proclaimed? Was it in K' inonib of July, 1CC1, when in both IfMtsrti of Congress, all voted that the war, tirt-uirtit about bv secessionists. Rhould be waged to maintain the Constitution, restoie the Union, preserve tbe institutions of tbe several Statesand to protect the citizens thereof in the enjoyment of their personal and domestic rights? Was it proclaimed when, after the unlortuuate affair of Bull llun, we again appealed to patriotism of tbe country to spill its blood for the purposes above declared? Did any man then say to you that this war should neer cease while a slave existed within the United States? But ;hey 6ay it now. The abolition party had swallowed neck and heels of the upn them to declare that they would v'iO I lie war only on the. principles indi-L.M,-i,i n J , l10 v l... t : tnr.l UL I'iüv I!... l'eep's sheep, they did'nt come up. NViieti Judge Ib-lniati of Indiana, a good arid true man God bleSS him--renewed the Crittendo'i resolutions as an assurance to the army, and invited them to vote upnn ,, ,iÄ ,r. it x- . .i i i ' Q the-V refud! Ct they said they were tor tije Constitution aud for a restoration of the Union. They siy they are for it now, and they will say they are for it until af er tho October election. Mark that! What was the cause of the war? voice: Abolitionibm." WVll, )u guessed it pretty near, my friend. Somebody must have told you. That I know; for. bo help me God, it's true! But they say slavery is tlie cause of tho war. If he bid tbe power be would visit upon the heais of the leaden of tbe rebellion tho punishment their wickedness merited. But when it coms to tbe est very likely he wuuhl, ike the tny Scotchman, who told . the revolutionary rebel that he would be ofitjn red. Sw tha' Ilia Majesty was a I Uitirci tul mao aud would cot deutend in

hanging below a few atrocious characteis, ho would not, with regard to rebels nowadays, descend below a few at.reious characters, but he would bang an Abolitionist on the other end of every rope. Slavery was as much the cause of the war as the tea thrown into Boston Harbor was the cause of the revolution. This was conceived by designing and ambitious men. In proof of it, Mr. WicklifJe produced the resolutions passed at the Kew York Abolition Convention in 1059. What did this convention resolve? Why, that because of the evil of slavery, they invited a free correspondence with the disunion istsof the south, to the end of a dissolution of the United States. Thank God, but more thanhs to the abolitionists of the North, the secessionists say, for they have enabled us to accomplish what we have been trying to do for thirty years. Hence you see we have two classes of traitors to fight: the Abolitionists among us, as well as the rebels of the South. As he had told Lovejoy in Congress, who, in an abolition harrangue, broi-ght out metaphorically, a ship full rigged and freighted wilh seces

sionists and abolitionists, he would throw over the abolitionists first. So people of Indiana you must throw them overboardI don't care under what name they approach you. A leopard isju9tas spotted, although you call htm a bear. The South wanted a Government separate from the East. Tho Eait wanted a government separate from the negro. That is what caused this; rebellion. And if the twenty millions of :ho Xonh could not conquer the 6ix millions ofth South without arming the nigger, in God's name let the Abolitionists in Congress get out of tho way, we, the conservaiive men. old Whigs. Democrats and Republicans who reverenced the Constitution, for there were some such, would prosecute the war, restore the Union, and maintain the rights of all under the Constitution intact. Slavery, when the Constitution was adop:ed, existed in every State but one. Yet Lovejov talked away in Washington, rym to nlor ihat under that instrument, and b --:iUöe of the Declaration of Indepemler.ee, the negro was free and equal wilh the white man. Our fa-hers declared that they the white race, the Anglo Sax on race were free and equal. They made this Government for themselves, for the white man, and not for the ne-M-o. If they intended that the negro should stand side by side with you at the ballot box, and on the bailie field, they were ihn gieatest set of hypocrites God ever made, that they did not say so. Why d'd they not free the slaves everj where? Let LoYejoy go and prjach his doctrine to the negro, and let the "white man alone? In the last Congress, which bad the most time oevoted to it, Congress or the negro? (Voices, "The negro.") Secretary Chase, who is our banker now, was engaged in cotton planting at puclic expense, lie has agents iby used to call 'em overseers, but now they are agents treasury rats, employed in this business. One of them is named Pearce Pearce, of Ohio. Gen. Hunter had gone on Pearce's Government plantatiou and turned his negroes into soldiers, with red breeches and striped jackets. Pearce could not stand Hunter's interference, and wrote to Secretary Chase about it, and business on tbe government plar tation was, for the present, at a stand e till . Let the abolitionists get out of Congress, get away from positions of responsibility, get out of the army, and in less than six months we wonld have peaco within the Union and under the Constitution. He would give all he had to sustain the Union; he would lay down his lifo for it, but he would have no Union in violation of the Constitution. What rio-ht Lnd the General Government to interfere with the slaves in Kentucky? The Abolitionists said that it was under the war power. Even some of the Governors of the states had said that Union was broken, that we had ro law but I Ii at f an Unbridled majority. The m.ajoiity in Con gress, calling themselves Republican, had followed the abolition piograaio to the letter. Thev were for confiscation, emancipation, and servile war, and a desolation of the South. Are you for such war? Yon aro for a war for the Union not for an abolition war. What would you do with these nigoerfe? Do vou want them in Indiana? He paw, the other day, in Washington Ivo hum! red prisoners captured bp Major Gen ral McDowell. They were poor neo-io women in rags, with their babies in their arms, that this Major General when McClellan needed his aid had captured on the Rappahannock and sent to the Capital. The great government of a free people tinned the Generals of its armies into tdave hur.tnrs, who wero engaged in catching negroes on the Rappahannock. Mr.Wicklifle concluded: "By all that party strife with which you have been heretofore divided, maintain vour principles like men. This Union must

be sustained it must be nreserrpd !

r t and let the negro take care of himself. If you would do this, set your heels on Abolitionism? ami vrlmn th , ....... w..0 , I3 u er ! we will have a I ort Warren for some of that sort of gentry.

CREED OF JEFFERSON". Inaugural Address, March 4, 1801. "It is proper you should understand what I deem the essential principles of our Government, and consequently those which ough? to shape its administration. I will compress them within the narrowest compass they, will bear stating the general principle, but not all its limitations. "Equal and exact justice to all men of whatever State or persuasion, religious or political. "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with alt nations, entangling, alliances with none. "The support of the State Governments in all their rights as the most important administrations for our domestic concerns, and tho surest bulwarks against all antirepublican tendencies. "TIm preaervation of the General Gov ernment in it whole constiutioual vigor.as the sheet anchor of our peace t home and safety abroad. . . "A lealou-icare of the riiiht of election by th people, a mild and safe correction of abuses which are lopped cdT by the aword of revolution where peaceable remedies are unprovided. "Absolute ricqu iescertee of the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of re. publics, from which there is no appeal but to form the vita) principle and immediate prent despotism. "A well disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace, and for the first moments of war, till regulars may relieve them"The supremacy of the civil over mil itary authority. "Economy in the public expense that labor may be lightly burdened. "Tbe honest payrent of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith. "Encouragement of agriculture, and of commerce as its handmaid. "The diffusion of information, and arraignment of all abuses at thebaroftbs public reason. "Freedom of religion, freedom of tha press and freedom of person, under the protection of the habeas crobns, and trial by juries impartially selected. "These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages "and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They s'nould be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try tho services of those we trust; and should we wander from ihem in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten lo retrace our steps, and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty and safety." ADMONITION OF WASHINGTON." Farewell Address, September 17, lTlh. "In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union; it occurs, a a matter of serious concor n, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminationsNorthern and Southern, Atlantic and Western whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a roal difference of local interest and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular dis triots, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districtä. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the j jalousies and heart burnings which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to bo bound together by fraternal affection.

In a country so extensive as the United States, and in pursuits so varied, the internal regulations of tl e several States must frequently difl'er from one another in important paniculirs; and this difference is unavoidably increased by the varying p'ineiples upon whicii the American colonies were originally planteu; principles which had taken deep root in their social relations before the Revolution, ard there fore, of necessity, influencing their policy since they became free and independent States. But each Stale has the unques tionable right to regulate its own internal c-jneerns according to its own pleasure; and while it does not interfere with the rights of the people of other States, or the rights of the Union, every State must be the sole judge of the measures proper to secure the safety of its citizens, and promote their happiness; and all efforts on the part of the people of other States to cast odium upon their institutions, and all measures calculated to disturb their rights of property, or to put in j..paidy their peace and internal tranquility, are in direct opposition to the spirit in which the Union was formed, and must erdaner its safety.

Port Royal, S. C, July 19. 1CG2 When General Hun'er wiote hi letier to the secretary of war regading the arming of the uegroes in his dominion, or rather when it was written for him. the w" oh story was not told. There are several verses in tho chapter which the people ought So know; and which I propose now to tell you about. Immediately after Gen. Hunter's arrival here, he conceived the idea that all he had to do was to whistle, and the darkey lads would come into our linea by the thousand, and that he would gather 50,000 ablebodied contrabands at the sound of the bugla. The first thing he did therefore, was to make a requisition upon tha War Department for 50.000 stand of small arms and equipments, anr1 10.000.000 cartridges. This he did without consulting with a single person, and without any practical knowledge of what he could do with all when ho got them. He did not even make the requisition through tho regular channel or ordinance officer, nor did he even inform that officer that ho had made tho requisition himself. The War Department answered his requisition. Why nobody knows, unless, perhaps, it bad on hand thai amount of muskets and ammunition that it did not know what to do with. We had muskefs enough for our own troops, and for rifles a requisition for was made, by ien. Hunter's order, afier he had sent for tho 50,000. But this last was made by the regular ordinance officer. The War Department knew what troops ho had, and that all these wero armed. It knew that we had i. ifficient supply of small arms for all ordinary want. It knew, or could have known, that we had not 2,000 male contrabands in our whole department of South Carolina and Georgia, and yet it sent out to us 50.000 French rifled mus-1 kets, with equipment!?, a ol 10 OvlO.OOO e.r.r.d.re at a cost of o,no 82 OtM) l.Mt) - r - or more. The muskets came, to the . totiishment of everybody but Gen. Ilun ter. We made no provision for (hem; we had no tdace to put them; and they weret therefore obliged tobe pibd upon ihei sand and covered ove. with canvas and left to rust. Tho guns wero on hand, a monument of sagacity and forethought; but nobody to use a solitary one of them. The negro army for whom they were in tended, was non est inventus.

by inu.aiiun, and i.e therefore undr o-k to oo out and romnel thm t. o..m i.t He thereupon directed an order to be D,o mulgated, requiring all military .-onrnifi ders forthwith tosend to him at Hilton Head under guard all able bo lied mala Contrabands capable of bearing arms. The result was that three or four hundred were caught and brought in, bur euch ;t panic was crea:ed, and so much trouble expet jene d, that the General was obliged to countermand his o -d-r before it was twenty-four hours old. The fact was there wa9 not whhin his control two thousand abta-bodied male negres in all, and nearly all these were needed in the Qnar lermaster's Department, and on the plantations, an 1 a? officers servants; and this he might have known by an investigation of half an hour. At length by hard work ome five or six hundred contrabands were "scared up, and unlisted m the black battalion, and these have constituted the army whieh are to use tlie 5'J.OOO ri tied muskets and 10.000.000 cartridges ent to Ilibon Head by the War Ddtrtment. Again. Gen. Hunter did not inform th? Secretary of war that lm f it- ous proeh mation or order did not bring bi n a single baker's dozen of contraband, but that on the contrary, it so exasperated the people that additional precautions were taken to prevent any such result a? poeiblv he anticipated. The General evidently thinks that in all mailers pertaining to bis de payment, the cart should be put before the hrse, and that arms fh u!
