FROM THE GERMAN.
. Bleep, gentle spirit, I woold win
Mj way unto the aUeiit placa
Wbeze thou hast ruk,
. And look upon thj vrilrd bee.
Around tbe portbes of thy throne
' Tb hostel spectral shadows stand
With folded wings,
Awaiting what toon, ahalt command.
Btnunje thane and eonntleat aa the Man !
Some meek-eyed yoang and angel bright,
Some pale and wan,
Some darker than the dreary night.
Fair hand, uphold a wreath of flower,
Cold hand, entwine the weed and thorn,
Bright Thdone smile
And lonely phantom, erer monm.
These, as they will ov pillow haunts.
The fairer cheat u with their grace,
The darker forms
- The paths oi life retrace.
I fain wonld dose the ebon door
By which these risions outward fly ;
And nevermore
Discern the with the inward eye.
Tt will they throng, nntil the Tea
I. lifted by thy parting breath.
And silent Sleep
Giro place unto her sinter Death.
Political Matter.
Political Matter. An-Editor's Record--What the
Editor of the Plain Dealer
Thought in 1848.
The subjoined extracts are from an edi
torial' article which appeared in the Cleve
land Plain Dealer of November 23d, 1 848.
The article itself, of which these are but
"bricks from the building," was one of the
most elaborate, careful, and serious that ev
er appeared in the columns of that paper;
expressing so tar as one might judge, the
sincere opinions or uie -eaitor, it no ever
uttered anything in sincerity.
The Presidential election had then just
closed in the triumphant success of Gen.
Taylor. Throughout that campaign the
Plain Dealer had been the. foremost ad
vocate of Gen. Cass in this part of Ohio;
Lad been as unscrupulous, or nearly so, as
it is now; had been as ready to put for
ward or to suppress; to affirm or deny ; to
praise ft party friend ia- superlatives, or
stigmatize an opponent with opprobious
terms, as any other newspaper.
But the election was over, and the edi
tor, released from the obligation to do
whatever the party emergency required,
breathed freer. No post office or public
rinting flitted before his vision ; and he
could afford, therefore, for once in his life,
to indulge in rare luxury of free and truth
ful utterance. His readers, it is true, were
astonished at finding that their oracle was
after all an abolitionist in disguise, and an
ultra one at that; staking the Union itself
upon his fixed ultimatum of "no extenhon
of slavery one inch beyond its present lim
its? Most clearly did he see the design of
tbe bouth at that time, and none so bold
as he to expose, or so resolute to resist
them. He talked of the Union being rent
asunder, with as much nonchalance as he
would have felt in chronicling the mishap
of a morning in the street, under the head
of "Locol Items."
Some of us, who had long seen" the
need of watching and resisting the
encroachments of the slave power, were
rather starUe4 at the bold rhapsodies of
t the flam Dealer agaiust slavery. We
Lad not been accustomed to treat the Un
ion with so much flippant levity; nor to
state, even m our own mind, the contin
gencies in which it ought to be dissolved.
No such scruples troubled the outspoken
eoiter or tne I'Lain Dealer. He was de
termined to call a spade, a spade, let what
would come of it. His bitterness towards
the South was as unmitigated as Garrison's.
He was almost ready to pronounce the
Constitution "a covenant with death and a
league with helL"
But to the extracts the entire article is
too long for onr limits.
1. The. editor having had "tar and
feathers'' intimated to him by some persons
writing from Georgia, waxes wrathy, and
appeals to the people of the North:
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Nor. 23, 1848.
"There you have it, Democrats of the
North l Yon who work for your living,
and who favor free soil, free speech and free
labor as essential safeguards to your rights.
You who refuse to surrender that vast new
territory to the selfish nabobs of the South,
where they can pJantslavery to thedestruc
tion of yonr own white labor; presume not
to show .yourselves in the Democratic State
of Georgia, lest like ourhuinble self, you too,
are helped to a coal of tar and feallwrs.
If you people of the North suppose that
slavery is not going to curse every land
purchased by the money, or conquered by
the arms of the republic, 'you reckon with
out your Host: 'ibis is the language
or me oouin, without distinction of party.
What say you, free laborers of the North !
Are you m our present and future acqui
sitions of territory, going to let the nabobs
of the South monopolize the soil with their
large plantations, and compel you not only
to compete with their wealth, but degrade
yourselves to the level of their slaves, by
competing with slave labor f As men you
are already excluded from the Southern
States. You cannot labor there and main
tain your dignity as men. Labor ir dis
graceful there, and the Southen aristocracy
are determined to make it so everywhere.
Give them the power and they will do- it
Give them more territory devoted to sla
very, and they will do it. Acknowledge
that under the constitution and laws of na
tions, they have right to take their pro
perty (slaves) into a free territory, and they
will soon have New Mexico and California
cut up into slave States, and we, the free'
States of die North, will be mere appen
dages to an aristocratic slave government.
IL He charges the defeat of Cass upon
a prayer which he made while a minister
thereupon he threatens disunion calls
the patriotic institution damnable, and
curses all compromises:
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer of sane date.
It was no doubt the prayer of Gen. Cass
written while minister to France, and "long
before he was talked of for the Presidency,
in
I
and which had been a standing charge
againsi mm m tne south Uioughout this
campaign, which has defeated him. Here
it is, as it is copied from Southern papers :
3Tul AM NO SL A VEHOLDE K I
NEVER HAVE BEEN I NEVER
SHALL BE. I deprecate its existence in
principle, and pray lor its abolition every
where, where this can be effected peaceably
ana easily ior ooin parties.
It was no doubt this treasonable sen
timent, so offensive to the self-respect" of
the south which has defeated him. So
mote it be ! If the converse of this sen
timent be the ultimatum of the South,
about which there can be "no compromise,"
aoa be praised 1 in a case so clear, m
cause so just, we love to fight, and rather
than see slavery extend one inch beyond
its present limits, we would rather see this
Union rent asunder, dearly as we do now
and ever have cherished it. If the politi
cal union of these states is only to be pre-
serveu oy ourying our consciences and
i ,i i . . Vi . .1 . .. .
yieiuing assent to the aoctnne mat "slave
ry is no evil" and after submitting to such
moral degradation, to be told that the gov
ernment, in order to be safely administer
ed on such a principle, must constantly be
kept in Southern hands; if under our own
constitution we have got to give slavery
and slave labor the same footin.fr on free
soil with freedom and free labor, and run a
tilt over the w orld or wherever our territo
rial acquisitions may be, with this damna
ble institution; then better that the tie of
the confederation be broken than submit
to such dishonorable terms. No. Dear
as this Union is to us, and fervently as we
desire that time, wliile it crumbles the false
foundations of other governments, may
add stability and glory to ours; yet rather,
far rather, would we see it resolve into its
original elements to-morrow, than that its
duration should by maintained on princi
ples so fatal to public virtue and political
freedom. We warn the South against this
mad scheme of extending slavery into ter
ritory now free. The North will not sub
mit to it. The bounds of slave territory
in this Republic are fixed! Justice and hu
manity have-demanded it, and the popular
will has decreed it. As says Senator Da
vis, so say we; lot there be "no compro
mise" on this subject.
Consistency quotha ! Our neighbor is
consistent ; who dares affirm the contrary f
Conristrncr slffl is a part of his plan,
He is trw to OKI party, and that is himself,"
But what are we to think of his savage
attacks upon those who dare think now as he
thought eight years ago, and to express
such opinions with something like moder
ation ? "Myers," "he says, "had the rots
for years. (Query, since '48.) Nothing but
office has kept him in the line, and when !
that run out his Democracy run out, too."
A marvelous thing is office in its operation.
Our neighbor says, that the Democracy
runs right out of a man the instant you
pull the spigot of office out of him. But
judging from his own case, replace the
spigot and you may pour barrels of that
same Democracy into him, he will hold it
all, and thirsty souls can get the article of
lum by the small measure.
"Dissolving the Union."
The Plain Dealer has a column of flap
doodle, opening a series of absolute and
unconditional falsehoods about Fremonters
lietitiomng for a "Dissolution of the Union,"
&c and concluding with the threat that
the Union shall be dissolved, if Fremont
is elected, and prophesying in such an
event the farther calamity of "20,000 ne
groes let loose in Ohio !" Mirabile dictu!
If the majority of the people, shall, in
pursuance of their constitutional right, elect
John C r remont .and William L. Dayton
to the ofhees for which tliev are in nomi
nation, then threatens tho Plain Dealer:
"As a choice of evils, the Southern Gov
ernors will convene their Legislatures in
'Extra Session and appoint delegates to
"frame a Constitution for a Southern Re
public I"
And yet, before the ink of this threat is
dry, this Union-loving editor goes on to
charge the Republicans as "Disunionixts!"
I his J. W. Gray, m one of his old aboli
tion editorials, when berating the South for
their constant efforts. at extending slavery,
exclaimed after this fashion: These men
need not think of intimidating us with their
threats of a dissolution of the Union ! Let
theni press their slavery propagandist! a
little farther, and they will find that the
people bear in their liosoms a love stronger
than their love for the Union ! Stronger
than their love for tire Constitution even !
A love for Liberty ! Not exactly Gray's
words, but the sentiment, and the exact
words we will give as soon as we can find
time to turn to his files.
The ltepublicnn party arc the Union
party. Ihey are for the Union as-our fa
thers established it to be administered
for the purposes to which they ordained it.
It is alone in nurturing the principles of
Freedom, that this Union will hud health
and pennanancy and length of years.
Uutsido of a cab-load of men in the
neighborhood of Boston, all the earnest
disunion sentiment is found south and
too in the ranks of the most active advo
cates of Mr. Buchanan s election. And
yet, there is inpudenee and falsehood so
brazen as to charge the r reiuouters as be
ing Disunion men !
John C. Breckinridge, the candidate for
Vice President, has been making speeches
his own favor in several places. At
Tippecanoe, Indiana, he took the ground
that if the majority decided against any"
section of the country in the choice of a
President, that section ought not to sub
mit in other words, that the majority
ought not to govern. The same idea
that we have quoted above from Gray.
Hear Mr. Brcckenridsre:
"If the Eastern States were to unite in
solid phalanx against the West, or tho
Southern against the Northern, they hap
pening to have a majority, would you sub
mit toil! I AM SURE YOU WOULD NOT, for
know yon to bo men. And, should they
further, accompany every act of their tri
umph with every expression of contumely
and contempt, would tou not believe
revolution a solemn duty? You need
not respond,! know your manly sentiment."

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2, 1856.
My Esteemed Friesd: I have seen
published in the newspapers of this city,
since my return to California, several state
ments relating to a subject which jiarticu
larly concerns myself ; and wishing to aid
in setti'iia; public opinion right on the
matter, which I am going to speak of with
all possible brevity, I have to request that
you will publish these lines in your jour
nal.
For about eight years articles Lave ap
peared with more or less frequency in some
newspapers in the Union, in which a contract
for a number of cattle has been spoken of,
made in 1847, in the City of Los Angeles,
bctweeu Col.- Fremont and mvself. -The
evident want-of truth in the published ver
sions of that business and simple nature of
the contract made m this country un
der the circumstances then existing, seem
ed to me sufficient reasons for not taking
the trouble to refute unfounded calumnies.
I do not now propose to give an extensive
statement of events, or to mase Kiwnn
the want of resources under which Califor
nia was conquered, because all those things
are perfectly well known. Hie cluets had
no choice but to recur to their own per
sonal credit to feed their soldiers. The
cattle which CoL Fremont contracted for
for that purpose Don A. Pico was appoint

CoL Fremont had lost his command. As

The above letter relates to the "six hun

been accused, in some of the baser Buch-

swindle, the Government, by buying them
on its credit and converting them to his
own use ! We have already stated the fact
that the Government never paid one cent
for them, but we did not then know that it
nwi actually made money on them, by sub-

The Richmond Examiner, a leading
Democratic pner in Virginia, and one of
the most ardent supporters ot cucuanan,
holds the following language:
"Until receutlv, the defence of Slavery
labored under great dinicullies, Decausc us
aixlog:sts, (for they were mere apologist. 1
took half-way grounds. They confined the
ueteiiee ot slavery to mere negro slavery ;
thereby giving up tho slavery principle,
and admitting other forms of slavery to be
wrong. I lie line of defence, however, is
now changed. The South now maintains
that Slavery is right, naturally and nec-
essary, and does not depend upon differ-
ences of complexion. The laws of the
Slave States justify the holding of white
men in bondage."
The Charleston Standard, a leading Bu
chanan paper in South Caroliua, savs
"blavury is the natural and normal con
dition of the laboring man whether white
or black. The great evil of Northern free
societies, is, that it is burdened with a ser-
vile class of mechanics and laborers, unfit
for self-government, and vet clothed with
the attributes aud powers of citizens.

gloomy silence is another conclusive proof,
added to many other conclusive evidences
we have furnished, that free society in the
long run is an impracticable form of socie

that policy and hnmanity alike forbid the

The Muscogee, Ala., Herald, another
Buchanan organ, says :
"Free society ! we sicken at the name.
What is it but a conglomeration of greasy
mechanics, filthy opperatives, small fisted
farmers, and moon-struck tieonstsf All
the Northern and especially the New Eng
land States, are devoid of society fitted for
well bred gentlemen, lhe prevailing class
one meets is that of mechanics striigglm
to be genteel, and small farmers who do
their own drudgery; and yet who are
hardly fit for association with a Southern
gentleman s body-servant this is your
free society which tne Northern hordes are
endeavoring to extend into Kansas.
The South Side Democrat of Virginia,
whose editor was supported bv the Demo
crats for C lerk of the House of Representa-
tivcs of the present Congress, pitches into
everything Free, after the following style:
"We have got to hating every thing
with the prenx tree, trom tree negroes
down and up through the whole catalogue
tree farms, free laljor, free society, free
will, tree thinking, free children, and free
schools and belonging to the same brood
of damnable isms. But the worst of all
these abominations is the modem system
of free schools, lhe New England system
of free schools has been the cause and pro
line source of the infidelities and treason
that have turned her cities into Sodoms
and Gomormhs, and her land into the
connon nestling-places of howling Bedlam-
ities. We abominate the system because
the schools are free"
The Alabama Mail, in speaking of the
shooting of the Irish waiter by that distin
guished Democrat, P. T. Herliert, says:
"It is getting tune that waiters at the
North were convinced that they are serv-
ants and not 'gentlemen' in disguise,

hope this Herbert affair will teach
prui lence.
lhe Washington Union, the national
organ ot iinchnnan, says that the tree
white lnliorers of Kansas
"Are a miserable blear-eyed rabble who
nave been transierrea HKe so many cattle
to that country.'
Senator Butler of South Carolina, uncle
of the gallant nephew who assnulted Chas.
Sumner, says:
"That men have no right to vote unless
they are possessed of property as required
bv tho Constitution of South Corolina.
Thero no man can vote unless he owns ten
nogroes, or real estate to the value of ten
thousand dollars."
It is tin; tMinst of tho Statesman that
theirs is a "national" pariv that it-s prin
ciples are the same both North and South.
e may therefore satolv conclude that the
above extracts express its opinions, and that
the Southern Buchanan organs faithtully
represent its "national principles. Dem

these sectional nullifiers!

The streets everywhere were gay with
flags, streamers and stretchers, and the
pavement packed with people. Every de

"Buchauan and myself have, for several
years back, ever since I came into public
life, HELD THE. SAME POSITION on
the slavery question from beginning to
end." Senator Douglas Speech at tho
New York Ratification Meeting.
"The fact is, both PLATFORM and
CANDIDATE are perfectly satisfactory
to the most scrupulous stickler for South
ern rights." Richmond Enquirer.
I have been placed on a platform which
most heartily approve, and Mat can
speak for me. Being the Representative
of the great Democratic party, and not
simply Jambs Buchanan, must square
my conduct according to THAT PLAT
FORM, and insert no new plank, nor
take one from it." James Buchanan's
Speech before the Keystone Club.
"The champion of the admission of Ar
kansas the champion of the annexation
of Texas the champion of the acquisition'
of Cuba where is the TAINT OF FREE
DOM in all this? Whatever Mr. Buchan

and his acts are with us." Charleston (S.

"And we farther hold, that slavery ex
tension, so called, is absolutely essential to
the peace, progress and safety of American
civilization, and indeed to the very "xist-'
enco of the Republic" New York Day-
Book, for Buchanan.
"Our ships were laid up to rot, as mel

"Time will not allow mo to enumerate

might perhaps be unwarrantable to assert
that our Administration Jefferson's were
corrupted by France, but that their poli

James Buchanan's Lancaster Speech.
"Thanks be to Heaven that we obtain
