O sweet, my love, the hoar is late; The moon goes down in silver state As here alone I watch and wait; Though far from thee, my lips repeat In wlnspcrs low, good night my sweet. The house is still, but o’er the gloom Os starlit gardens faint with bloom, I lean from out my darkened room; And only hear the roaming breeze Move softly in the lilac trees. Some where beneath these gracious skies, My bonny love a-dreamiug lies, With slumber brooding In her eyes; Go seek her, happy wind so free, And kiss her folded hands for me. Across this dome of silent air On tides of floating ether bear, To where she sleeps, my whispering prayer; The day has brought the night forlorn, God keep thee, little love, till dawn. While life Is dear, and love is best, And young moons drop adown the west, My lone heart, turning to its rest, Beneath the stars shall whisper clear, Good night, my sweet, though none may hear. HON. B. H. HILL ON THB POLITICAL SITUA TION. New York, Oct. 3, 1868. To th'i Editor of the Herald: In the Herald of this morning to an article head* ed “Southern Democratic Leaders in New York,” and among the number my own name is mentioned. Allow me, first of all, to say I am no party leader; never have been, never ex pect to be. Allow me, iu the next place, to say that I did not come to New York to “drink wine or eat fine dinners,” and have not been so engaged. I came North to ascertain, if I could, the exact temper, views and purposes of the Northern people and the probable resu it of the political contest now being waged. To one who has studied and learned to admire the system of American govern ment, Federal and State, limited and re served with harmonious boundaries fixed for Mob by plainly written constitutions, the examination has not been encourag- Shaken to Us foundation by a criminal war occasioned by a fanatical discussion about the rights and capacities of some savages imported as chattels for specula tion from the jungles of Africa, the ques tion now is, whether these savages, being now confessedly free aud certainly great ly improved by Southern masters, this great system of government can again be made harmoniously stable aud the free dom of the white race maintained ant! of all races perpetuated? I find the Republicans meeting this great question by proposing to “maintain and perpetuate” measures which are “out side of the Constitution,” which avowed ly seek to disfranchise aud degrade white people for no reason but that of a vindic tive hatred of section against section, and and which pretend, in the most unnatural way, to elevate the negro by leading him, igooraut aud credulous, promisingly to equality, but really to ruin, as the butcher tempts with bis bundle of hay deluded sheep to the slaughter pen. I find the Democrats meeting this most palpable insanity of the Republicans by exhnueting all their powers upon a cent per cent argument about bonds, gold and gratabaoks. I find the capitalists more insane than tbß political leaders, taking sides with the Republicans in this issue, and are lavishly spending their means to .maintain and perpetuate measure* which subvert the government aud destroy the Industrial energies of the country iu order to make the government stable and its resources ample to pay their bonds. Ministers of religion are executing their uoble commissions as peacemakers by abandoning the gospel and urging their hSarere to Join in the work of maintain ing a policy whose only fruits in the past have been, and whose only fruits in the future can be, riots, bate and bloodshed. Amid all this Babel discord of political and moral confusion of the Northern peo ple, I find but few who seem to remember that there is a written Constitutlbn, and that those who are oboeen to administer it must be sworn “to support, protect and defend it.” It is most significant that in the whole Chicago platform and the let ters of acceptance from the nominees thereon this Constitution is not mentioned uor even alluded to. Ita builders remem bered there was a negro, but forgot there was a Constitution. I have heard aud read long speeches from notorious (called distinguished) political leaders who, t do believe, have never so much as read the Constitution, and most certainly have not read its history nor understood its mean lug. Statesmen have abandoned the Consti tution ; clergymen have abandoned the Bible, and the people are losing both free dom aud religion. Nothing in the North —not even Its great cities and wonderful sssitiSrfiwaftrttf ah troth. If the Union oan b« cordially restored and the reeceroes of the country thereby be developed, this government will tie able to pay the existing debt, even if three times as great as reported. In this eon tingency there need be no debate as to whether the debt shall be paid in curreo cy or gold, for then the credit of the gov eminent will be restored and currency will be equal to gold. Ai If the Union cannot be cordially res tored and the resources of the Country thereby permitted to be developed, the ex isting debt will not be paid; nay, not even ten cents on the dollar, far in that event the resources of the country wul be consumed in a process of. subverting the government, and some other government which did not contract the debt will talce its place either in the farm of a red repub lican anarchy or a military dictatorship. How can the Union be cordially restored? By returning to the constitution. How will the government be subverted ? By the American people deciding t m “main tain and perpetuate” a policy outside of the constitution. Inside of the constitution a Union, freedom, increased prosperity, restored credit and bonds payable. Out side the constitution Union, freedom, prosperity and credit will perish together. The reconstruction policy of Congress has cost hundreds of millions already. It has lessened the productions of the South oue hundred millions each year of its ex- Southern property to onedourth lte value in IMB. ft OMK’Uhbfvrhotoude destruction It will laasen the productions of the South mire than on# hundred millions per annum, of bate and into armed companies of death, will for years desolate the Booth. Can yon maintain the UDion, promote prosperity, restore good will, stimulate philanthropy, modify Southern temper, restrain “rebel outrages” and pay the bonds by “maintainingand perpetuating” such a policy ? But I am tola that the vic torious North is ready to fight again and millions of “boys in bine” wilt march un der their great leader, General (then Pres ident) Grant, and “make the conquered rebels submit to this negro equality and social ruin.” You will? Bravo! But stop, courageous fool; answer me: how will that restore the Union and pay the the bonds ? It is so brave for these, well equipped and, after a long, bard struggle, to conquer one poorly equipped, and then boast about it, and call that one a coward, and so magnanimous to crush that one and force him to accept an equality with the negro which the Northern States re pudiate for themselves. Stop all this new form of treason, and stop the miserable policy of reconstruction which is its fruit. The South wants peace. She is impover ished and needs it. She was promised it on terms of equality if she would surren der, and is entitled to it. She has kept her Appomattox bond in good faith, and every Northern soldier is, in honor, her endorser while she keeps that bond. Will they join and will their chief lead the pol iticians in this negro assault on the peace of the South and the honor of the North ? Take away these carpet-baggers and send us the laborers, farmers, machinists and capitalists of the North by taking away this miserable reconstruction policy which sends us the first and keeps away the last. We have peaceful, fertile, cheap homes for 30,000,000 of Northern people who will come to help us build up the country whose sky is tbe brightest and whose fruits are the sweetest on tbeeartb. Butwe have no place for a white carpet-bagger wbo comes to take control of the negro and breed bate and strife to get office. Among your hundreds of thousands of readers are bankers, brokers, million □aires, merchants, skillful accountants and learned gentlemen. Can you induce them to consider and solve tbe following problems ? Hew effectually can tbe Union under the constitution be restored by measures outside of tbe constitution ? How long will it take to pay the public debt by expending hundreds of millions to destroy tbe industry of the country, and iu maintaining by tbe bayonet a policy outside of tbe constitution, which tbe bayonet, negroes and false courts alone es tablished ? How long will it take to improve tbe temper of the Southern people by contin uing that policy which alone has dis turbed that temper since tbe surrender, and which every day keeps their persons, their property and their families in danger of pillage, rape, and burning? Os what value is it to the North to force upon the Bouth governments which will enable deluded negroes to select for South Carolina and Georgia Governors and Rep resentatives from Vermont and Massachu setts ? You say Geueral Grant will be elected. Possibly so. I cannot fix a limit to fanat ical infatuation. If be shall be elected and shall administer the constitution ac cording to his oath he will have no more cordial supporters than the Southern peo ple. If be shall admlhister tbe Chicago platform, as he stands pledged contrary to his oath, he may find submissive subjects, but no honesPsupporters at tbe South aud no free constituency in America- Tbe South asks nothing but what the North promised—equality under the same constitution. Georgia no power to make a constitution for her internal affairs or to change that constitution, which is not conceded to aud exercised by Illinois. Will a President choseu from Illinois con cede that claim according to the constitu tion, or will he deny it according to the Chicago platform ? With a pledge to carry out the platform, Without even au allusion to the constitu tion either in the platform o t the pledge, will tbe people of America risk the rights and tbe freedom of every man merely to confer an empty honor on one man, bow ever great ? B. H. Hill. | From the Toronto Telegraph. October Ist.] THE EXPRESS THIEVES. LETTER FROM ALLAN PINKERTON. Editor Daily Telegraph .-—Sir—Will you please spare me a very brief space in your columns, to make a plain statement with regard to the Extradition cases of Reno and Anderson, charged with rob bing the Adams’ Express, at Marshfield, Indiana, on tbe 22nd of May last, and that of I. 8. Morton, U. E. Thompson and Den Thompson, who have been lately upon examination before Police Justice Mo- Nabb, charged with robbing the Mer chants’ Union Express Company, on the Ist of May last, on the line of tbe Hudson River Railroad. Both of these robberies were of such a nature, as to cause a great deal of attention from the Express Com panies of the United States, representing, as I do, the Consolidated Express Compa ny of the United States, I therefore beg respectfully to bring before your readers the following statement: On .the night of the first of May of the present Ov E. Thompton aud I. S. Morton entered, by force and violence, the car of tbe Merchants’ Union Express Company, upon tbe line of the Hudson River Railroad, and by the evidence of Putnam Wilson Brown, a messenger of that Company, then in charge or that car and of the treasures aboard, forcibly seized, bound, and gagged him, and forcibly robbed him of the moneys which were in bis possession at that time. Denman Thompson became an accessory to the offense before its commission, was upon tbe train at the time of the robbery, and was also connected with the robbers, and he received a portion of tbe proceeds of the robbery. These, parties were arrested in Toronto on the 13th day of August last, npou a warrant issued by Justice McNabb. The ease was examined before him. The evi dence adduced showed clearly and conclu sively by Brown the messenger, and other wituesses, that Morton and Thompson were the parties who, upon the night of the Ist of May, upon the line of the Hud son Bivsr railroad, forcibly entered the Express car, tied, bound and gagged him as the messenger, and forcibly despoiled him of the treasure which was in his po aession at that time. The only evidence to contradict this, is that of Denman Thompson, who was discharged by Jus tice McNabb, and who then uablushingly and without an attempt to say that he bad any cause other than that of a justification of the robbery which the prisoners had committed, testified that he was one of the parties te make up a combination be tween Putnam, Wilson Brown, the Mes senger, I. 8. Morton and C. E. Thompson, and that Brown the Messenger was an ac complice with them, thus attempting to lower the grade of the offense so that it does not 'come under the Ashburton After a full hearing of the evidence, Justice McNabb, on the 28th inst., dis charged I. a Morton and C. E. Thomp aon. holding that the evidence was not sufficient under the Treaty far an extra dlll?rived in this city onthe morning of the 25tli, and so soon ssl learoed of the dfeehars* of the prisoners charged with taSTtefore Stipendiary Mc- M taken, and awarrant unedto the re cers and detectives firom fee United States, MACON. GA.. MONDAY. OCTOBER 12. 1868. and by other means, Morton and Thomp son have not yet been arrested, but I am determined to remain in Canada a suffi cient length of time to warrant me in say ing that if they still seek a refuge here, they will probably be found by tbe prop er and duiv authorized officers of tbe Do minion ; if they seek a refuge in the Uni ted States that is amply sufficient for me. In reference to tbe case of Reno and Anderson, I beg to say that Seymour, In* diana, is somewhat noted as having been very unsafe for many years. I will not in this undertake to prejudice their case now pending before the Court, upon a writ of habeas corpus. Reno and Anderson have been examined before Justice McMioken, of Windsor, who has ordered them for ex tradition. Their defence is an alibi. I beg to say that, according to my counsel's ad vice, evidence for the defence is not admis sible upon the demand of the United States for extradition under tbe Ashburton and Webster Treaty. That, bower, is a matter which the Court will determine upon the bearing of the writ The deci sion of the Canadian Courts I have noth ing whatever to find fault with ; they have universally been, I think, fair aud right. As the representative of the Consolida ted Express Companies, I beg leave to say that I shall always bow to the decisions of the Courts, whatever they may be, but at the same time say we are contending for great rights. I have no doubt but tbe case of Reno and Anderson, when it comes be fore tbe Chief Justice, will receive a care ful attention and a just decisioQ. What ever that may be, we shall defer to it in every respect. Other charges are also pending against Reno and Anderson, upon which they will undoubtedly be re-arrested. I would like to say more with regard to them, but jus tice to them, and with due deference to tbe court, demands of me, I should say no more. I shall be contented with a due administration of the law, such as the Dominion will grant to criminals within its limits. Apologizing to you for the great length of this communication, I am very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Allan Pinkerton. Toronto, Sept. 30, 1868.
