And dashed the silvery drops, with laughter wild,
I'pou the saucy youth and tnaidtu coy.
To the old well we wandered hand in hand.
And by the way we cull’d each new blown flower,
Then near the larpe old oak tree we w<r hi stand,
And fashion wreaths to wither in an hour.
With a large leaf vou made a tiny cup.
And call'd me then your little fairy queen,
And you, the King. would dip the wafer up.

Henry Ward Beecher, again
execution of Davis, it will not do to sneer
down an argument from this source by-
insinuations against the. loyalty of the
reasoncr. Considering what Mr. Beecher
, has done for the Union cause, both abroad
and at borne, he is entitled to be heard on
lids question, as well as on thejarger ques
tion of general lenity. We have often
i differed from M r. Beecher ; but we have
always admired tlie frankness, directness
, and intrepidity with which he laces ad
verse opinion, in any cause he believes to
be right ; ar.d ve trust that sense and
; sound policy yvill be listened to from him
| in quarters where our voices would go un
heeded.
, Another Republican of prominence,
1 ability and courage, though without Mr.
Beecher’s pungent and taking eloquence,
has lately been advocating lenity, in a
speech abounding in home thiusts, which
- give, a keen edge to his argument. We
refer to Gen. Blair, who is now oh the
stump in Kentucky, at tempting to carry
ihe State in favor of the constitutional
amendment for tile, abolition of slavery.
He, too, is entitled to a candid hearing
: from Republicans, although some of his

Concluding his few remarks, Gen. W.

and file of the army. If it was it would

Now, laying these personal invectives
entirely out of view, there is great cogency*
in the argument that underlies them.—
There can be no doubt that the rebellion,
in the critical winter and spring of 18(51,
was aided and encouraged by tlie hesita
ting inaction of the Federal Government.
