GOLDEN VOICES.
B( MARY FAITH FLOYI).
When sunshine o’er earth’* verdant breast
Pours out its radiant gold,
And gilds the hills, and paints the trees
With magic touches bold.
My soul ’links draughtsofcalm delight,
That all my senses fill:
Then nature’s golden voices deep
My quivering pulses thrill.
Whe winds are stirred with augry howls,
With tumults loud aud hoarse,
Wrapping the sun in cloud* of gloom, .
Loosing the lightn’ug’s force
In gleaming, forked tongues of flame—
When maddened u’ceniis reel,
Then wild snblimely-golden tones
Through coral soul-depths peal.
When chon night haugs o’er the world
. Her wondrous starry fold,
Aud Dian pale through rushing clouds
Walks like a huntresshold,
Sad memory walks, aud op, s ihe door,
And waves her phantom band.
Oh 1- then ihe golden voices dear
Sweeps from the spiiit land !
Voices that speak from friends who once
Were treasured iewel* here
In earth’s rich perishing cabinet.
But now, ir> loftier sphere.'
Swell out iu heaveulier tones than earth'*
Most charmed symphouies,
And forge, with golden music’* bars,
Links lifting us to skies.

Fellow-Citjzexs : The present
administration, although failing lo
lullill the lirst expectations of the
American people, is nevertheless at-
:emj ting, through its office-holders,
to prolong its power for the next four
years.
A large pop tion of the President’s
original supporters, and the entire
remainder of his fellow-countrymen,
without distinction of party, survey
this attempt with indignation and
alarm.
The history of the administration
is a showy record of discreditable
(sometimes disgraceful) acts—many
of them blunders; oiheis crimes.
Kver since the day alter the Presi
dent’s inauguiation, when, as his
first official step, he sought to abro
gate one of the oiliest statutes of the
republic in order to put a personal
friend in office, he has repeatedly
shown himself, on the one hand, ig*-
norant of the laws, and, on the oth
er, defiant of them.
He has transcended the limita
tions of ihe Constitution and done
violence to its free spirit by usurp
ing for himself functions which that
instrument reserves to the States and
lheir citizens.
He has tyrannously invaded the
political assemblies of our own and
other free commonwealths, mis
chievously intruding his Federal in
fluence into local affairs.
He has alternately proposed and
defeated service reform, until, not
withstanding his professions in its
favor, he has proved himself the
chiel obstacle to its success.
He has, iu multitudes of cases,
made tenure of office lo depend not
on good behavior of personal fitness,
but on mere subserviency to his par
tisan schemes.
He has pul crafty and ambitious
parasites at the receipt of customs,
wheie ihty still continue to fatten
their private purses on the public
funds.
He said to a nation weary with
war, “Let us have peace,” but has
kept the word of promise to the ear
to break it to the hope—fostering in
the North toward the South a tern*
per of bitterness and resentment,
instead of fraternity and good will.
He has connived at and sustained
a number at alien and rotten gov
ernments in the Southern Slates,
some of whose officers have perpe
trated frauds equalled in magnitude
only by those ot the Tammany Ring.
He has habitually stifled investi
gation, even into the gravest charg
es, brought against his own house
hold.
He has committed acts of nepo
tism more numerous than are re
corded against the entire line of his
Presidential predecessors, from Geo.
Washington to Andrew Johnson.
He has accepted g : fts from flatter
ers, for which he has rendered dis
honorable equivalents by bestowing
132ptn j public emoluments on the obsrqui-
10 00 am ous gj vers<
III short, he has administered his
high office not as a trust devolved
upon him by the whole people, hut
as an estate or property owned by
himself alone in fee simple.
During all this ever-growing mal
administration the President’s parti*
sans instead of rebuking his per
verse course, have, on the contrary,
and for selfish ends, gilded it with
uncandid flattery and defended it
with specious logic. They have

put forth a series -of in,H.-ki ig pre^*
lences o it.e effect that he us paying
the publicdebt, that he has reduced
the taxes, that he has collected the
revenue, that he has settled the Ai»r
bama claims, that he has Iranqud-
ized the Indians, and that lie has re
constructed the South.
But not one of these allegations is
true. Challenge them iu detail. Is
he paying the public debt ? The
people, not the President, are pay
ing it. Has he reduced the taxes f
Congress, not the Executive, has
lighteyed, these burd«-i:s of ihe peo
ple. Has he collected the revenue?
Swarms of his officers haw grown
rich by ils collection.- Has he set
tled tire Alabama claims? They
were neyor so unsettled as at- this
fiour. Has lie made peace with ihe
Indians#? The. hile-t intelligence
from the frontier ra uf massacre and
blood, provoked by frauds which his
officers have perpetrated on the de
ceived anti cxaspsrnted savages
Has lie given prosperity and con-
tculment to the Southern pc »ple,
who, with unexampled unanimity,
are demanding the overthrow of an
administration which has field tl cm
in surveilaoce and treated them with
scorn ?
The President’s office-ho'dera now
iu vain put forth these glittering hut
false pretences of the success of an
administrali >u which three fourth*
of the citizens of the United Slates
are impatient to vole in»o immediate
dissolution.
The recent Libetai Republican
Convention at Cincinnati—oue of the
most stately and brilliaut parlia
ments ever assembled in tiiis coun
try—uttered the fit protest of an
aroused people against a demoraiiz
ed government, just as the ci izens
of the Empire Slate, a year before,
rose in spontaneous revolution a«
gainst a corrupt municipal Ring.
The prompt aud brave action of the
Convention has electrified, the couv-
try, and sent a tremor through the
self-complacent security of the o v-
ers that he.’ The Cincinnati plai-
form is morally as noble as the great
Declaration to which our forefathers
pledged ‘their lives, their fortune*,
and their sacred honor.’ These
principles include the equality of
all men before the law; the perpst
ual union of these Slates—which
nothing now threatens save corrup
tion at the Federal centre—the non
revival of all questions and amicable
acceptance of all results which have
been finally and forever settled by
the thirteenth, fourteenth aud fif
teenth amendments; universal am
nesty, which is the most divine act
possible to human government; the
removal of all political disabilities,
occasioned by a war whose battle
fields have now been seven years
green with peace; the ever sacred
and inviolate supremacy of the civil
over the military function of free
government; and fast, not least) a
civil service which shall evermore
lend to reform itself through the
wholesome regime of a Presidency
expiring by self-limitation with one
term.
In announcing these principle* ihe
Cincinnati Convention gave them a
living embodiment iu the Person of
a Presidential candidate who is an
illustrious citizen of our own State ;
a statesman whose honored name is
a household word in every cottage
in the land ; whose proverbial aud
absolute and incorruptible integrity
is the best possible guarantee tor aid
honest Government in future'; whose
prudent and economical views of
public administration are the earnest
and good hope of a safe and thrifty
management of the Executive office;
whose kindliness of spirit is typical
of the good will which should here
after exist between the two sections
heretofore opposed, and whose long
life, spent in rare devotion to the in
terests of the poor, the oppressed,
and the toil-worn among his coun
trymen, has enshrined him in all
men’s respect as one of the most
faithful champions of human right*
and one of the most revered exam
ples of personal worth.
In the candidate for the Vice
Presidency, we hail a noble and
gallant statesman of the West; a
Kentuckian by birth, a Missourian
by residence, who, for years fought
the battle of freedom on slave soil;
who, at the close of the war against
slavery, was one of the headiest to
demand amnesty for the Southern,
people, and whose career deserves
the sympathy of all who honor cour
age ami action dictated by a nobili
ty of soul.
In view of this platform and these
nominations, we hereby invite you,
fellow-citizens, ot all party names,
to join the leform movement at once,
and lo organize yourselves, without
further delay, into working associa
tions in your own respective coun
ties, cities, towns, wards and dis
tricts. Make judicious haste to form
a willing and working executive
comniittee, whether Democratic or
Republican, in each of these locali-
lies, and send the names of its chair- pen at all.

Stionr Words Exactly to the Point.
—The Courier-Journal sets forth
very clearly the points which will
probably crane before the Baltimore
Convention for its consideration.
The wisdom of its utterance cannot
lie disputed:
As the case stands, and the situ
ation is not likely to change mate
rially between now and the assem
bling of the Convention, the Grant
men cannot elect unassisted, nor
can the Liberals, nor yet the Dem
ocrats. Greeley, has already t>een
nominated by the Liberals; Grant
will be the nominee of the Radicals;
and, if a straight Democratic candi
date is brought into the field, one of
two things must follow: either Grant
will be elected or there will be no
election. While neither party can
elect* a combination of any two of
them can. The danger is that the
Democracy, relying upon the dis
sensions of their opponents, may
bring out a candidate of their own,
and in that event the effect must in
evitably be either to dri\e the
masses of former Republicans who

lo Grant, or lake the election into
the House of Representatives.
Whether the one or the other hap
pened, the disastrous effect would
be the »me so far as tl»e Democra
cy are concerned. The House of
Representatives would infallibly de
cide fur Grant.
The defeat of a regular Demo
cratic nomination next November,
it is plainly to be seen, we could not
hope to recover from. The prestige
of the party and it* organization
would be gone. All the bright an-
ticipations tire Democtacy cherish
respecting the Congressional sue*
cession would turn out as unsub
stantial as the baseless fabric of a
dream. The Radicals would have
the President, they would Itave
Congress, they would have uninter
rupted dominion over the country
for all time to cotne:
The Baltimore. Convention will
have it in its power to determine
whether Greeley or Grant shall be
President. The solemn responsi
bility will rest with it of choosing
between freedom ami chains for the
South, and, indeed, for the w4iole
country. Can any one be at a loss
lo foretell what its action will be?
