I love her gentle gushing rills,
The beauty of her templed hills,
Her Vdllies and her flowery dells,
And water from her pebbled wells.
I love her skies of gorgeous light.
TThen fleecy clouds are lingering bright,
Round the golden battery of the west,
And glory crowns her shining crest.
I love her glittering realms above,
The silent vigils of eternal love,
Where sleepless glory reigns on high,
Jehovah's dwelling place is nigh.
I love her gentle voice of prayer,
When matin songs are lingering there,
And nature pours her sweetest lays*
In songs of gratitude and praise.
’Tis not her beds of golden ore,
.3/akes me love her more and more ;
Nor gems and pearls of costly hue.
Rare diamonds sparkling in the dew.
’Tis the simple beauty of the mind,
Breathed in accents soft and kind,
Found in that nobler better part.
The welcome of an honest heart.

“The Second Washingtons.”
A gentle wail from the West comes
to us—over the two second Washing
tons—now seriously damaged, if not
actu;ily spoiled by the labors of the
commentators. Grant’s “ moral in
fluence,*’ as Squecrs styled it, is “tot
tering to its base” under the venge
ful strokes; and as if that were not
enough, Lamon, the partner of Lin
coin, has completely sooted the radi
Slice of that other second Washing
ton, the martyr President, by telling
the whole trtli about him. “ Why”
they mournfully demand, “could not
the fool have left out all these disa
greeable things ? ” But no ! he has
got them all down in his biography,
just as if we like to read them.
He tells how Lincoln’s father and
mother jumped the broom stick in
stead of going through the regular
marriage ceremony, and must have
been sonsiderable below any type of
squatters, such hoosiers, or crackers
known,to common observation. How
Lincoln, senior, emigrated to Illinois
from Kentucky in consequence of
having bitten a man’s nose oil* in a
skrimmage. How, alter a childhood
spent on the mud and soot of a floor
less, doorless, windowless and chim
neyless cabin, Lincoln, junior emerged
in the character of a vagabond, semi
barbarous, raftsman, boatman, hunter
and day laborer—up to everything of
which such a youth might be suppos
ed capable—the prototype of the roar
ing and ripstaving sucker, who could
yell louder, jump higher, cuss more,
drink heavier, dive deeper and* come
up dryer than “airy man in Ulanov ”
llow lie was the best hand at vkeerds
—run bosses—fought prize fights—
danced jigs and cavorted about “bc
yant all account”—then finally apoth
eosized into a jack-leg lawyer—ascend
ing step by step the hill of science
till lie could make out a fee bill, and
tell the difference betwixt filing a
game cock’s gaff and declaration or
bill in equity.
In this high state of enlightenment
Lamon says he was a furious disciple
of Tom Paine, and pitched into the
Christian religion confessedly in one
volume, which a discreet friend burn
ed ; but Lincoln never retracted his
religious infidelity. Lamon gives an
unpleasant account also of his wooings.
He was a slippery lover—not by any
means to be trusted out of sight for a
very long time and dazed by two or
tliiee beauties at once.
On the whole flic Western worship
pers of the martyr have reason to
maledict Lamon. He has taken down
Lincoln’s sign as a second Washing
ton, and there will be a heap to for
get before he can be regularly reinsta
ted in the business again. The sc
cond Washingtons don’t go well in
harness.— Telegraph cC* Messenger.
£aby Exchanges,
The Richmond (Ivy.) Register tells
this : “At a dance given by L. Coyle,
in Kingston, a few days since, there
were a number of married ladies pres
ent who brought their babies along.
Feeling inclined to trip the ‘light fan
tastic’ a round or two, they left their
progenies in an adjoining room in
charge of Mr. Cloyle and Joe Maunin
who kindly volunteered to be mamas
to the innocents, ad interim. During
the absence of the fond parents, Tom
and Joe concluded to swap clothes,
and in a short time every baby sport
ed him or herself in foreign habili
ment. The mothers, after an hour or
so’s devotion to terpsichoreand elights,
took each their baby vestments, and
the dear little forms therein contained
and retired to their respective and
happy homes. On preparing the lit
tie ones for their ,cribs, sexes had
changed—girls were boys and boys
girls—and with one universal yell the
outraged matrons set out on a baby
hunt. At last accounts, most all had,
by the ‘strawberry mark,’ succeeded
in recovering their lost heirs; but Joe
and Coyle are said to be non est when
any of those mothers are in or about
Kingston.”

SUDDEN POLITICAL CONVERSIONS.
The following piece, slightly alter
ed from a speech by Mr. Webster,
who “ though dead yet speaket a,” is
so a prop os as against the policy of
the “ disintegration ” of the Demo
cratic party, and its consequent “ab
sorption bvthe two contending wings
of the Republican Party, that it is ex
humed for the benefit of the present
day. All ought to “ read, mark and
inwardly digest,” before, like Obadiah
Oldbuck, they turn over anew leaf.
“ Public men must certainly be al
lowed to change their opinions, when
ever they see fit. No one doubts
this. Men may have grown wiser—
they may have attained to better and
more correct views ot great public sub
jects. Nevertheless, it must be ac
knowledged, that what appears to lie
a sudden, as well as a great change ,
naturally produces a shock. Sudden
movements of the affections, whether
personal or political, are a little out of
nature. •
Several years ago, some of the wits
of England wrote a mock play, intend
,ed to ridicule unnatural and false feel
jng—the sentimentality of a certain
German school of literature. In this
play two strangers were brought to
gether at an inn. While they are
warming themselves at the fire, and
before their acquaintance is yet five
minutes old, one springs up and ex
claims* to the other, ‘ A sudden
thought strikes vie; let us swear an
eternal friendship ! ’
This affectionate offer was instantly
accepted, and the friendship duly
sworn, unchangeable and eternal !•
How long this eternal fnenship lasted
or in what manner it ended, those who
wish to know may learn by referring
to the play. But it seems that some
now-a days are carrying their political
sentimentality a good deal higher
than the flight of the-German School;
•for they appear to have fallen sudden
ly in love, not with strangers , but
with opponents !
Here we all had been contending
against the progress of executive and
congressional power—against central
ization. We thought we were mak
ing some headway. The people ap
peared to be coming to our support.
The country had been raised ; every
'successive election weakening the
strength of the adversary and increas
ing our own.
We were, in this career of success,
strongly carried forward by the cur
rent of public opinion, and only need
ed to hear the cheering voices of our
leaders.
‘ Once more* to the breach, dear
friends, once more ! ’ and we should
have prostrated, forever, this anti-con
1 stitutional administration. But in
j stead of these encouraging and aui
j mating accents, behold! in the very
crisis of our affairs, on the very eve of
victory, many of our leaders cry out,
not to us their allies and followers, but
to the adversary,—‘Holloa! a sudden
thought strikes me! I abandon my
friends ! Now I think ot it, they have
always been my oppressors! I aban
don them ; now let me and you swear
an eternal friendship ! ’
Such a proposition is not likely to
be long withstood. The other party
may be a little coy, but, on the whole,
nothing loath. After a proper liesita
tion, and a little decorous blushing, it
will own the soft impeachment admit
an equally sudden sympathetic im
pulse on its side; and, since few words
are wanted where hearts are already
known, the capitulators will take their
place among their new friends, amid
greetings and caressings, and besoon
enjoying the sweets of an eternal
friendship f"
Henry Clay once said “I’d rather
be right than be president! ” A noble
sentiment!
The Democratic party iiad better
suffer defeat under its own flag , than
gain a doubtful victory under a hostile
banner. But when it furls its battle
scarred ensigns what is to keep its
hosts together? No leader, no trum
pet no flag proudly fluttering in the
breeze! Woe worth the day ! What!
abandon the cohesion of principle for
the cohesion of spoils ? O, for some
Ilemy of Navarre, with our an
cieni en if amine , to scourge all doubt
ers to the rear, and lead us in the
charge!
“Disintegration and absorption”
must be our fate if we abandon our
principles. “ Hold fiist to that which
is good ; and, having done all things,
Stand.” * * *
Candor is a virture even if it
exposes ugliness. A person who ac
knowledges a fault is much more
agreeable than those who pretend to
be this or that, which every one
knows they are not. Airs and pur
ring and smiling and evading cannot
conceal the truth from those who
read human nature as the world pas
ses along.
John B. Gordon.
The N. Y. Tribune of the 10th inst.
having announced that General Gor
don, General Bate of Tennessee, and
other prominent'Southern gentlemen,
had expressed simpathy with the Cin
cinnati movement, and were favorably
to Greeley, General Gordon was in
quired of touching the authority for
such announcement as to him. The
following letter was received in reply
to that inquiry:
Baltimore, May 24. 1872.
My Dear Sir: Your letter addressed
to me at New York is received; and
I hasten to give a frank answer to the
questions it contains, since not merely
the compliment conveyed in the requst
that 1 define my positions upon the
matters absorbing the* thoughts of
democrats, but tlie duty incumbent
upon every man in tlu3 crisis to see
that his position is neither misunder
stood nor misrepresented, demand hoth
frankness and promptitude.
You ask me first wether I have
“ declared for Greeley,*’ I answer,
“ No ”
You ask, also, if it be true that I
“ favor his election ? ” If you mean
by this question to ascertain merely my
individual sentiments, I again answer
•empbaticallj, “ No.”
Surely I need not tell you bow glad
ly Isi Rill lend all the aid in my pow
er to the support of a Democratic
nominee, upon a Democratic platform,
if the assembled wisdom of the party,
in convention, shell decide upon a
nomination.
To elect such a ticket, upon such a
platform, would be to bring back life
again to the Republc, re adjust the
balances ot State and Federal author
ity, and restore to the people the
Magna Charta of their liberties. In
deed, were I to consult my impulses
alone I should advise a Democratic tick
et, a Democratic fight under Democrat
ic banners, even though we might not
win a Democratic victory.
But if you ask me whether this be
wisdom—whether it be the best
mode to secure in the end the triumph
of Democratic principles and ,the free
dom of our sister Southern States
from a military despotism—l reply
that this is a question which I cannot
as yet—which no man can as yet—
presume to answer categorically, until
the situation,its responsibilities, its op
portunities and its perils, have been
discussed by the convention of dele
gates not yet assembled.
But I will say briefly, that I think it is
well to have a National Convention.
It is more than well—it is vital that
the party organize as a Democratic
party ! It would be a crime against
posterity to disband an organization
which for seventy years lias survived
foieignand civil convulsions ; which
has now the proud satisfaction of
seeing some of its fundamental prin
ciples recognzed by the wisest of its
former antagonists and whose history
is the history of whatever is benefi
cient, patriotic, or glorious in the po
litical career of the country. Let no
Democrat, above all, no Southern
Democrat, talk of disbanding. So
long as there is anything left of the
Constitution, there will be need for
the party which has always defended
it.
Finally,'let me express an earnest hope
that with the freest discussion and
most candid avowal of opinion, no
rash judgment may be formed of the
motives of any. Mo man is infalli
ble. AU in the South seek, doubtless,
the common good. They it'ave been
too recently purified in the fires of af
fliction to be other than honest; and
suffer too keenly now to he long in
discussing the best mode of relief.
Surely every man must see that all
our strength lies iu unity of action.
Let us not divide into detachments,
alienated and embittered by contro
versies previous to the assembling of
the Convention
It it be thought best, in order to
defeat the destructve party to whose
misrule the South owes her ruin, and
from which the whole country suf
fers, to vote even for Horace Greeley,
let no Democrat strengthen the hands
of his enemies by declaring that lie
will not heed the voice of his party.
Most of us have been soldiers! let us
remember wherinlies the might of ar
mies. If the Convention shall say that
victory and relief can be most surely
won by uniting in this battle with all
who oppose Federal usurpation, I, for
one am ready to obey its command.—
And I should do so without feeling
that our standard had been lowered
or our honor tarnished by thus
locking shields, with former adversa
ries, for a final charge If only by the
temporary alliance of Democrats and
Liberals, the arch enemies of justice
and of freedom can be defeated,
and real, substantial benefit secured
to the country, what man will be
ashamed that lie sacrificed individual
preferences or personal feeling to res
cue the Constitution and save the lib
ci ties of the people ?
Very truly yours,
J. B. Gordon.

Gents : Your tender epistle of

father in-law, Col. Dent, (to whom I
am under lasting obligations for fa
vors, and to whom I pay a respecta
ble salary to keep my two bull purps
freed from fleas and other deleterious
ingredients) advising me of what was
done at the Dolly Varden Convention
at Philadelphia, on the 5 and C of
this month, and of my glorious and
unanimous nomination. Os course I
accept the nomination. I accept any
thing, and return you-my thanks ac
companied by the seal of the IL S.
If elected in November, and pro
tccted by a kind Providence in health,

the duties of the high trust conferred?
I promise the same zeal and devotion
to the good ol my relatives, the Dents,
the Custom House, and myself fur the
future of my official life as shown in
the oast. Past experience may guide
me in avoiding mistakes (such as los
ing $35 by express, appointing the
wrong men to offices, etc.) inevitable
with novices in all professions. I nev
ur was President before, consequently
I am still a novice.
When relieved from the reponsibil
ity of my present trust by the elec
tion of Gen. Hancock or Greeley,
whether it be at this end or the other,
I hope to leave to him as Executive, a
country, in debt, and at peace with
Africa and the West Indies, and with
embarrassing questions to threaten her
future prosperity. With the express
ion of a desire to see a spec dy healing
of all bitterness of feeling between
Chas. A. Dana, Horace Greeley, and
Charles Sumner and myself, and
the time when the title of Gen. and
President carries with it all the pro
tection and privileges (such as valua
