Speak kindly to that poor old man, Pick up kis fallen cane, And place it gently in his hand, That he may walk again, His bundle, too, replace with care Beneath his trembling arm; Brave all the taunts that you may hear, To give his life a charm. A braver deed than scorners boast Will be your triumph then, A braver deed than annals tell, Of some distinguished men, Yes, leave that thoughtless, sneering crowd; Dare to be good and kind; Then let them laugh as laugh they may, Pass on ; but never mind. Pass on; but think once more of him, The wreck that you have seen, How once a happy boy like you He sported on the green, A cloudless sky above his head, The future bright and fair, And friends all watching o’er his couch, To breathe affection’s prayer. But ah, the change ! How wanders now, Forsaken, lone, and sad— Thrice blessed is the task of those Who strive to make him glad, Speak kindly to that poor old man, Pick up his fallen cane, For that will ease his burdened heart, And make him smile again.

Will I tell yer honnor the sthory !” “Ok by all means, if you can spare the time.” “Sure sir, ‘tis a widdy I am, an’ me own masther. Will I begin the beginnin’!” “Any where, so that you commence at once.” “Well yer honner; wanst upon a time—’ “Stop, stop, that is the old story book stvle. Can’t you strike out something a little more original ?” “I’ll thrv, sir. Twer one night, may be a week after I wer unfortunately married to Biddy Connolley, as 1 wer sittin in the little back room, thiukin’ about nothin at all, an’ botherin my head wid all manner av- strange things in waddles the fat owld desaiver, an’ ses she to me, sez she— “Pether avich, thiukins diary works ; will I mix ye a thrifle o’ sperits ?” “Thankee, mem,’ sez I, ‘but may be ’tis throulin’ ye I’ll be.’ “Och ! sure ’tis the delight of my heart to be plazin’ ye, Pether asthore,’ sez she lookin as plaisaut, and rosy as a May morn; ; an wid that, out she goes, and * brings me in a noggin av the raal potheen. After fillin my dudeen wid tobaccy, sez she— “There, Pether, dear, ’tis mate an’ drink to me to see ye enjoy yerself in yer own house.’ “Arrah Biddy,’ sez I, wid the flavour of the Potheen staming up my nosthils, ‘Ar rah Biddy,’ sez I, ‘its my serious opinion that ye’re a dacent woman afther all.’ “Oh but ’tis you that’s the coptivatin’ man;’ sez she tinderly, an’ sure I ought to be a blissid woman the day. I doos be wonderin, Pether darlin,’ how ye kem to have me, wid all the purty girls ready an’ willin’ to marry ye for the axin.’ “That does be puzziin meself, Biddy,’ sez I. j “Seech a dacent an’ a well behaved man too. Tis proud I am of ye,’ sez she, put- | tin her great big arms about my neck, and J smudtherin me wid kisses. “Will it be plazin to ye, Misthress Mul- roony, not to be afther disth urbin my me- ditashuns V sez I, relasin myself from her howld wid the gravity of a coort judge. “Why Pether,’ sez she, ‘what d’ye mane by that V “Aisy,’ sez I, ‘Aisey ! Tis a questhun in jommetthry, an’ aljebrayical flukshuns that I’m solvin.’ “I beg yir pardon, Pether dear,’ sez she, dhroppin me a curchy till her clothes made a circle as wide as the month ov a brewers vat; I beg yer pardon,’ sez she, ‘but tis a lovin, and a wake woman 1 am.’ * “Musha 1’ thought I, ail the love she iver had is blue mowldy by this time; as for the wakeness. Och 1 but ’tis she could knock down an ox wid it. Sure I’d be thankful myself for a little o’ the same.’ ’‘Take another dhrink o’ potheen, Pether dear,’ sez she. “Thankee mem,’ sez I ‘but tis’nt aisy to quench thirst fromanimpty bottle.’ “But its aisey to fill it agin,’ sez she wid a laugh an’ out she goes an’ brings me the full ov another noggin; an’ afther she had put it saftly on the table, she sits herself down by the windy, an looks out into the court, where ther wer hapes o’ little tathe- ry childre’ makin’ dirt pies, an puddlin in the wather. “Prisentlv, as I am liftid the cup to my lips I heerd a deep sigh. “What’s the matter Biddy ?’ sez I. “Tis a foolish woman I am, Pether, dear, sez she dhrawin the back av her fat. hand acrass her eyes. ‘I was thinkin outlie child- hre and the people that has them; and we so lonesome like, Pether dear!’ - “That’s the truth,’ sez I. ‘Sure but a family’s a plisant thing.’ “Tis-glad I am to hear ye say so, Pether avich,’ sez she; and then her face turned as red as a bliled lobster. “Misthress Mulroony, sez I,* seriously. Misthress Mulroony,’ sez I, ‘I am sorry to persaive that ye have been paintin ye’r cheeks wid the whiskey bottle. Tis asham ed I am of ye Misthress Mulrooney.’ “Troth Pether sez she, I would’t de- raane mytelf by sech thricks. ’Twas the thoughts av the purty childre’ that quite upset me, and us so lonesome.’ “Och millia murther! Biddy,’ sez I, would ye have me burglariously stale an other man’s family.’ “Where ’ud be the needeessity o’ that Pether jewel,’ sez she, in a saft, coaxin way. There’s a fine breth av a boy an orfin, Sha- mus byname, for sure father Hennessy christened him that same. You’d plazed to have him wid us, wouldn’t ye Pether ? “Faix, I dunno,’ sez I, feelin’ mighty quare undher the combined effects of the poothen, an’ the soothing spache of Mis thress Mulrooney. “Take another dhrop o‘ spirits, Pether dear !’ sez she. An’ thin Biddy set down aside me, an poored me out first one glass, and thin another, an’ all the while the poth een kept disapparin’ in a sthrange niysta- rious sort av a way ’til my sinses got con fused, and two Misthress Mulrooneys kem up to me, and kissed me wid two mouths, an she tuk two candles in her hands, an’ led me out o’ two rooms, an’ up a quare set o’ double steps, where I laid howld av four ballisters, and across two passiges an thro’ two more doors, an thin I tumbled, some how or other, into two beds, while two Bid dy Mulrooneys tucked in two bapes av clothes, wid two sets av hands. “Well, Misther Urbin, when I woke next morn wid the misery in my head, who should I see but Biddy, sittin at the bed foot, wid an ugly lump av a boy by her side. ‘ Tisdhrarain I am,’ sez I to meself. “But there Biddy sat sthrokin down the coorse thatch on the ugly gossoon’s head, an sez she to me— “Pether, avick,’ sez she, ‘this is Shamus.’ “Oh !’ sez I, lookin bothered intirely, as in deed an thruth I was, ‘that’s Shamus, is it ?’ “Shamus, my son,’ sez she, ‘why don’t ye be afther spakin'to yer father.’ * t‘The top o’ the mornin to ye, owld dad dy !’ sez the ugiy little rapscallion. “Tare an ages !’ sez 1. ‘Tis cliatin me ye’ve been Misthress Mulrooney; an I to take ye for a lone widdy. “Get up Pether, an take a cup o’ tay, ’tis dhry ye are the morn,’ sez she, lookin me in the face as bowld as Joolynus Sayser. “Thinks I, tis betther to howld my ton gue, may be there’s no more av em, but ’twasn’t aisey in my mind I was* an that’s no lie. “Well, smutherin my feelins,’ I believed meself all that day like a dacent, an a sinsi- ble man; and the.hape o’ desait that had coorted an marri’d me onbeknownst to me self, cockered me up wid the best of the a tin’ an the dhrinkin, as if ’twas a show pig she wor fattenin for the fair. Och wirra, wirra, but ’twas too bad intirely. “Well, ’twas the next day, while I wor thryin to make out the poethry of family life, she cemes into the room ladin another little gossoon by the hand, and sez she to me sez she— “Pether, acushla, this is Dinnis.’ “An’ who’s Dinnis, Misthress Mulroony,’ sez I. “Our Dinnis ! sez she. “Augh!’ sez I. “Sure, Pether,’ sez she, ‘tisn’t a weeshee little slip av a thing, the likes o’ that, ye’ll be complaining av ?’ “By the powers! Misthress Mulrooney,’ sez I, ‘what the gossoon wants in size, he makes up in ugliness, I does be thinking.’ “Tis brakin my heart to year ye talk so, Pether,’ sez the owld crockydile. “Troth Biddy” thought I ‘’tis a cobbler’s lapstones she safter o’ the two.’ “Howld up' yer head Dinnis,’ sez she.— ‘Look at him Pether, dear, isn’t he. the very picthure av his father V “Sora bit o’ likeness do I see,’ sez I, ‘and its little I care to look for it. ‘’Tis sorry I am, Micheal Connolly was lost at say.’ “Pether!’ sez she. “Its the thruth I am spakin Biddy Mul roony,’ sez I. Arrah, bad ’cess to ye thin,’ sez she. ‘ye ungrateful, good for naught. But sure it sarves me right to be trated so. After I took ye from the guther, widout a rag to yer back, ye vagabone. Augh ! black was the day, an bitter was the hour that I stoop ed to marry ye, Pether Mulrooney; for yer father was a washerwoman, an yer mother was hanged for horse—’ “Aisey, aisey, Biddy Mulrooney,’ sez I. ‘Sure tisn’t dacent nor proper to blisther my charackther vid the thrilling failins’ av my ancesthral proginitors. ‘Tis ashamed, gowna “Pether, sez she, ‘this is Brian.’ “Augh !’ sez I, ‘sure ’tis a foundlin hos pital I’m marrid to.’ “Pether,’ sez Biddy, ‘this is Brian. YVhy don’t ye spake till him ?’ “Och, murther !’ sez I. ‘How will I be afther spakin,’ when ’tis a dumb baste lam, an my voice is choked intirely wid the childre in me throat!’ “Faix! but yill spake to Brian for all that V sez she. “Oh, sure I will,’ sez I, for the wakeness wor comin over Biddy, an I thought it best to soother her. “Isn’t he a purty boy,’ sez she. “I’d be sorry for the man that ’ud call him ugly mem and you a standi u by,’ sez I. “Troth, ve may say that,’ sez she, ‘con- sidherin the batin he’d git.’ * “Sorra bit ’o bad name passed my lips that day; but I dhressed myself widout say- in a word, and wint out for the benefit av ray consthitushun. “When I kem back, Biddy calls me in at the door av the little room, and pointin to the weshee thing in pettieuts among the other childre, sez to me, Pether thats Nelly! “Is it a girleen ?’ sez I, for there wor a touch o’ the kettle about her face, and I said to myself, ‘may be she’s a haythen or a napgur.’ “Arrah !’ sez Biddy, can’t ye see wid yer eves ’tis my Nelly, the darlin ! Sure^ye’ll kiss her, an bid her welcome, Pether.’ “Mem ? sez I. “Go and kiss her this rainnit,’ sez she. “Would it be plazin’ to ye, to sweep the* little colleen’s face first sez I. “Why would I do that ? sez she, makin’ an arch av her back ye could dhrive a coach and foor over. * ‘why would I do that ?’ sez she, ’tis clane dirt !’ “Sure ’tis thi thrue word ye are spakin’ Misthress Mulrooney,’ sez I, as saft as but- ther; ‘but ’twas thinkin I was, that a touch av the broom about the ragion av the cheek ’ud improve the girleens compleckshuu.’ “Och ! by this ou’ by that, Misther Ur bin, ’tis a wonher I’m a livin man this day The fatould desaiver dhrowned me in the torront av words, an thin dhryed me in a hurricade av blows.

Ye’ll find Misthress Connolly an the childre in the room bey ant.’ t ‘I waited till I heard one long skreech, anythin I tuk to my heels until I got into the counthry, whin I tossed me hat in the air an’ rowled over and over like a crazy man.

This'attempt to create thejm* J 'jurisdiction of the Constitution,—and in the ! pression that the new organization lias very'organization of that party, which was failed in its objects, and that every body formed by an abjuration and renunciation | must fallback into one or the other of the former lines of division, is but the lastap- peal ofthe old Priests of the defiled temples of Party, who feel that they are about to lose their livelihood in making images of false deites for the people to w orship. Hence their lusty shout, of “Great is Diana of the Ephesians;” “Great is the power of Party;” and great is the virtue of old is sues ! This cry has been unavailing in the past, and it will be unavailing in the future; wherever the question shall be made and met. Let our friends not doubt too soon. No occasion has yet arisen for an appeal to the whole people of the U. States upon the principles of our organization. Whether such an occasion shall arise, may depend upon the action of this Baltimore Conven- vention. Alabama has already called a National Convention on our principles, to assemble in this City after the Baltimore Convention. To this latter Convention we should not fail to send delegates. Should such a state of things exist as to render a new national organization necessary and proper, to carry out our principles, I feel assured that the late results in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, are but proofs of what may be expected ir other sections of the country, when similar efforts may be made for similar objects. And in this con nection I will add that the idea of reorgani zing either of the old parties in this country upon sound national principles, is in, my opinion, a result not to be looked for with much confidence. As organizations, these parties are both effete and corrupt. They both make professions in “platforms” which they never carry out in practice. These platforms or programmes have become noth ing but artful devices, by which demagogues are enabled to delude and cheat the people. “New wine is not to be put into old bottles, else they burst.” And if the effort to in fuse new and sound principles into either of those worn out parties should be successful, a like result may be expected. It is quite im probable that it should be otherwise. For the elements in each are discordant, conflict- [fROM THE CHRONICLE <fc SENTINEL.] Mr. Stephens’ Getter. Washington City, Feb. 7, 1852. My Dear Sir: Your esteemed favor of the 2d instant was received yesterday. You ask what I think of the late movement of of our principles, shall we not be of all old party names and affiliations by all who entered into it, we offered to unite with any and all men, irrespective of past party distinctions in every section of the country, whether in the South or North, who would make these principles a cardinal point in their creed. The same position we still hold. As yet, no party at the North has given any such assurance. The Baltimore Convention has not been called with any such view or object; so far from it, many of our bitterest assailants, at the South as well as at the North, have already been duly appointed members of it! Could any idea be more preposterous than the project of sending delegates to a convention of our op ponents, for fear that they may not conduct their proceeding according to our liking? Such wouldcertainly be a novel course in po litical tactics. If those members of that Convention from the South, who were lately so loud in in their denunciation of all men at the North, and who were so particularly censorious of our position at home, shall acknowledge their errors and put themselves upon our principles, and shall purge that body of its Free Soil elements—and shall, also, present to the country a good candidate for the Presidency—it will be time enough for us to connect ourselves with their action after they shall have given us these evidences of their being entitled to our confidence and co operation. A good candidate, standing on our principles, and put forward by an organ isation standing upon the same principles, is all we want. Whether that Convention will *00016 up to these requisitions, is one of the problems that future developments only can solve. My apprehension is, that it will be. Upon what indications others found more favor able expectations, I am at a loss to conjec ture. Is it from the fact that Col. Polk’s resolution was rejected in the Congression al caucus of the present session ? Is it from the fact that Mr. Bartlett, whose name appears as one of the committee who called that Convention, was elected to the seat he now holds in the House of Kepre sentatives as an open and avowed Free Soiler ? Is it from the fact that Mr. Kan- toul, the champion and defender of that, most unprincipled of' all coalitions in the annals of political profligacy in Massachu setts, is one ofthe members of: that Con vention ? Or, is it from the fact that the “Union,” newspaper in this city puts down the most ultra men of the South and the most rabid Free Soilers at the North, now Congress, as all good Democrats and equal ly entitled to membership and fellowship in the great party of which it possesses to be the sole organ ? If so, I have only to say, that these and other indications which i might mention, have quite a contrary effect on me. That Convention, therefore, so called and consti tuted, as well as all other National Con ventions, whether Democratic or Whig, must be put right on the record as a con dition precedent, before looking to me for any support or countenance. 1 speak only for myself. The Constitutional Onion par ty can speak for itself when its Convention assembles. But can any one doubt that the moral power and influence of our posi tion upon the action of the Baltimore Con vention would be much greater outside than inside of it deliberations ? Would they be less likel to comply with our de mands from fear of our_ defiance in case of refusal, than to be controlled by our wishes after a voluntary surrender ? If we go into their organization without the condition precedent of a recognition and endorsement in the our friends in Milledgeville. In reply, I say briefly and plainly, that so far as it may be considered as indicating the expression of an opinion in favor of sending delegates to the Baltimore Convention, I am utterly op posed to it. The first, and second of the Resolutions of that meeting have my cordial approval. The first re-affirms the principles of the Consti tutional Union party, and reiterates a deter mination to adhere to them. The second provides for the call of a Convention- in the State, at some suitable time hereafter, to take into consideration the subject of the Presidential e ection, and to adopt such course in relation to it as duty and patriot ism may then dictate as proper. This is all riwht. And while I cannot concur with some in believing that the third resolution was intended by those who adopted it to bear the construction which has been put upon it—to wit, that its object was to com mit the party, in advance, to send delegates to the Baltimore Convention,—still I mean simply to say, that ifsueh was the intention, I am unqualifiedly opposed to it. The new organization in Georgia was call ed into existence upon an extraordinary cri sis in our political afiairs. That crisis has not passed by. Those who think am of ye for doin that same, Biddy Mul- rooney.’ different conclusions from the signs of the “Sure, I’d scorn to do it, if ye didn’t per- times from what I do. The present (appa- voke me,’ sez she. rent,) calm is but a temporary suspension “Och ! but ’twas a sore day I passed that; of the dangerous elements which then raged same ; and one as quiet as a mouse in a so furiously. That party was formed upon panthry. If I opened my mouth at all, up the .principles set forth and embodied in the jumps Misthress Mulrooney wid—‘Behave action of the State Convention in Decern- yerself, I say.’ Sure I dinno how I kept my ber, 1850. Those principles I need not re- timper ; but ‘twas through fear av her wak-; peat to you. They were such as a large ma- ness, I does be thinkin’. I jority ofthe people of Georgia then thought, “hhe next day wor Winsday, Oh ! but I and as I still think, essential to the main- have raison to remimber it. Well, sir a- tenance ofthe rig*htsofher people and the fore I wor out ay my bed, I heard the pal- union of the States, thering of feet acra s the floor, and whin I not sectional either condition of veteran troops, beguiled and betrayed unarmed into the camp of the en emy ? The idea of men thus situated in sisting on terms is simply ridiculous—cap tives may be allowed to beg for quarters, but who ever heard of them demanding concessions ? And is this the time for our party to put itself in such a humiliating po sition ? That extraordinary effort is now being made to inculcate the opinion that nothing can be done by a separate organi zation upon the principles of that formed in Georgia, I am perfectly aware of. But does it not come with a bad grace from those who, in thus speaking are but repeat ing their croakings of twelve months ago ? Then we are told, as now that the new or ganization was a failure because it did not meet with favor from the political intrigu ers of this city. Some went so far as to say that the party was dead and could not be galvanezed into existence. But what have we not accomplished since then ? Georgia has spoken, with a majori ty never before known. So has Mississippi. And Alabama has shown that her people are not to be bound by the shackles of party when principles are at stake. Has a sin gle election been lost where the issue was so draw made ? But Mot only this—last winter the Georgia organization met with nothing but opposition from the two great parties, as they are called here. These parties have since both been brought to a pause. They want nothing now so much as a truce. Their opposition has been changed to-amod est request, that “bygone may be bygone.’ Shall we grant them even a triice? Will they not thereby be enabled to rally their disorganized forces .? Is this the time then for us to disband? Should we desert our standard when the enemy everywhere* is in They were, moreover, [flight before us ? Should we not rather in their character or j hold our ground until our triumph is com ing and hostile. How, for instance, can those men in Gocuv gia who looked upon the eighteen thousand majority against them in their own State at the late election as untrustworthy upon the questiomof Southern Rights, be expec ted to act in harmony with the Wilmots, the Rantouls, the Preston Kings and the Van Burons at the North! The very idea of such a possibility is suggestive of infamy, I take it for granted then, that harmonious action amongst men holding such antago- nistical opinions and principles, is out of the question. And it should be borne in mind that Mr. Rantoul declared the other day in the House, that if he were not a good Democrat, there was not one in New England! But apart from considerations growing out of the present condition of the slavery question, and other questions of do mestic policy, on which there is equally as wide a difference' of opinion between the two great wings of these-old parties, there are still other new questions arising, upon which most probably still under differences of opinion will exist. The question of in terfering with and taking part in European politics, will soon be upon U6. “Coming events cast their shadows before.”. At this time we see a man, of unusual address and great ability, traversing the Northen States of the Union, and urging upon the people the abandonment of those principles which have been coeval with the existence of our government in our relations with the vari ous monarchies and dynasties of the old world." His object, evidently, is to implant in the public mind, the principle^that it is our duty to join in a general crusade for the liberties of mankind. These wild and dis organizing doctrines havo been embodied in resolutions and adopted with enthusiasm by large and respectable meetings in divers places. The day is not distant when the questions involved in these doctrines will become practical issues. They will present subjects of vast magnitude and momentous importance for the consideration ofthe Am erican people. And .upon them, as well as upon those other kindred questions to which I have alluded, men in all sections who think alike, must organize and act to gether without respect to past differences of opinion on other points, or an early doom will be onr destiny, instead of that full measure of true greatness which it is our real “mission” to attain, and which nothing short of the united patriotism of the whole country can secure. This is no time, therefore to look to old issues with a prospect of reorganizing parties upon them. But I have said much more than I intended. In conclusion, I will add that our policy is to hold our position. We should unite with no party that fails as a condition precedent to incorporate In its creed these principles which we consider as essential to the maintenance of our rights and the preservation of the Union of the States. We should stand aloof from allaY- filiation and association with Freesoilism. Whatever may be the course of future e- vents we should stand by our principles wherever they may lead us, “through woe’.’ as well as “through weal 4 ” and maintain them now and always if need be until they, we, and tke Republic, perish together in a common ruin.
