foolish error given,
My fond hopes for thee are rudely riven.
Have I not come from Albion's mighty snore,
Where all can heiir the British Lion's roar,
To teach these primal sons of toil
How to till this virgin soil.
Are we the ruling class not sent,
To sway this Yankee Government?
Yet what am I more'n the vulgar clown,
Who bandies bis simple jests around,
To 'muse the simple people.
There's not a man I meet but doth salute me,
As if I were their well acquainted friend,
And all the silly, vulgar minions greet me,
As though I tbe pliant knee should bend ;
And presume to agk, Do you this approve?
Or is that the measure of your love?
And if you do tiiis, or that, say they,
Your head sbull then the forfeit pay.
May tbe thousand furies of bell be sent,
To scourge this Yankee Government!
Who is Johnson but a plcbian boor ?
A tailor's apprentice can 1 endure I
When through my veins flows English blood,
Dating back nigh to the flood.

I must succumb at any rate,

To circumvent the guilotine,

And you may indicate the way.

Ohio Democratic Convention.
COLUMBUS, May 24.—The Demo
cratic State Convention nominated
Chas. Wikey, of Cincinnati, for
Judge of the Supremo Court, and
11. S. Levern, of Shelby county, for
Secretary of State, adopted resolu
tions declaring that the Democracy
will adhere to its organization and
to its ancient faith as enumerated in
the well-settled principles of Thomas
Jefferson; but the one great ques
tion of the day being the immedi
ate and uncondition restoration of
all the States to the exercise of their
rights within the Federal Union
under the Constitution, we will
cordiully and actively support
Andrew Johnson as President
of the United States in all neces
sary and proper means to carry
out his policy as directed to that
end, and for the purpose nbove set
forth we will cordially co-operate in
public meetings, conventions and at
the polls with all men without refer
ence to past party positions, Mho
honestly and by their acts as well as
by their professions support the
President's policy as now declared.

it best to delay the trial.

A N"HW THKORY CONCERNING TJIE
AUTHORSHIP OF SHAKESPEARE.—A
St. Louis correspondent writos:
"In a dismal den of au office on
Chestnut street has Nathaniel
Holmes, Esq., now Judge of the
Supteme Court of this State, for tho
past fifteen years been studying and
preparing a book to prove that tho
plays of Shakespeare were written
by Lord Bacon.' Judge llolmos has
in his possession certain letters never
before published, which are calcu
lated to throw considerable proba
bility in his favor. Tho following
interesting piece of history, not
generally known, bears upon the
goint. When Lord Bacon was
olicitor General, prior to his ap
pointment as Attorney Geueral, he
was requested by his Majesty to pre
fer charges against Lord Essex.
Among other allegations there was
one declaring 4 that he was tho au
thor of a certain seditious play en
titled Richard, calculated to excite
discontent and riot among good and
loyal subjects.' Bacon declined
prosecuting the charge, using the
following significant language:
4 Whereas, it hath been bruited about
thut I myself am the uuthor of said
play of Richard, it would therefore
be exceedingly unseemly in mo to
prosecute him for that which is
charged upon mo,' so that even in
Bacon's day the theory was prevuletn.
I understand the work will bo issued
by tho Riverside press in the course
of a month or so.
".a it surprising that infidels and
scoffers at religion should increaso when
the example of worldliness is set by some
of tho most devout professors of Christi
anity ? We respect the man who consci
entiously professes to follow in the foot
prints of the " meek and lowly" One,
whose life our guide should be. But when
we discover men, professing Christianity,
stirring up dieeentiene among neighbors,
traducing their fellow -mo. and giving
diCtrent reasons to different persons for
certain action* of their*, we can but see
through the cloak of hypocrisy, the loathe

Why Will Ye Lie!
The Rebel Organ on Chinook Street
■ays :
1 " But when the hour arrived for the
j Convention to aasemble, cot a second waa
| lost in perfecting an organisation, and at
a time when not one in ten of the delegates
l from the outside precincts were in the
! room."
! And why was " not a second lost in
j perfecting an organisation"? You ac
! knowledge " the hour had arrived."
\ Now the reason of the precipitate action
| was, it was learned from perfectly relia
ble authority that Mr. Crosby waa to be
' put in the chair vi et annit , and it was
' further known that Mr. Crosby had aaid
Ihe was in favor of ruling ont the town
1 delegation and the bogna delegation to
gether. We can prove he did so atate, if
ho wishes us to do so. by Mr. Rhoids and
Mr. N. Crosby, Jr., —good authority.
, The organization would have been quite
I ni hastily " perfected," if it had been
' delayed until all were in. The country
' delegation numbered eight from Mound,
' eight from Tumwater and five from Cham 1
bcr's priarie precinct—twenty-one in all.
; Yclm and Black River had held no con
ventions. Tou say " not one in ten of
| (he country members " were in the room,
1 when the organization was "perfected."
' Figure again: Six were •• in," or rep*
{ resented —four in person and two by
: proxy—from Mound; three were "in"
] from Chambers—all in person—(and we
lolieve two or three from Tumwater, but
we will, only count them we know to have
been there positively—that'a nine. If you
do not misstate the matter, then the country
delegation should have numbered at least
ninety to have one for every ten. You
should have ataied the organization
waa perfected when just one in two and a
third were in. and leave ont the word " not"
at that. Figures won't lie, any way you
can fix it. The fact waa, an effort waa
made to rule the convention by the Pick
wick Club, or else to break it np. We
did just what that they contemplated doing,
as fnraa the organization waa concerned,
after the hoar " had arrived," and it is a
bone of a different color.

For Sheriff wa bare ow jocund and
oleaginsua friend Kellett, who appeara to
be the choice of nearly every body for
that office. He too, atanda aquarely upon
our Platform, but hia personal popularity
ia so great he will catch votes from all
parties.
Mr. Williams, for Treasurer, ia the
choice of three fourtha of the Union voter*
of the county. He is both capable and
reaponsible, and we know of no man to
whom we would more cheerfully entrust
the county funds, and who will give a
better account of his stewardahip. He,
likewise, ia a consistent supporter of the
Union party.
Here comes our old friend Jay Oee
Sparks, with hat in band, aa candidate
for Judge of Probate. He is well known
to most our people, is well qualified to
fill the office. One special thing in his
favor is, that be is gall and wormwood to
Copperheads.
And here steps forth our excellent friend
Robert Frost, for County Commia«i«ner.
We doubt not he will give a good account
of himself if elected. He, too, is a firm
and con*iatent friend of the Adminis
tration.
There they are, dear people. Tliey
ask your support on the 4th of June next.
They are all men who can act independent
of stale cliquea and unhallowed combina

UNION PASTY, and if defeated the glo
rious cause of our country, so tar as
Thurston county ia concerned, is irre
deemably vanquished.
BP The Black-Guard editor of the P.
Tribune sayt:
" Wooly-headed O Murphy prates al
most incessantly about •bolters,' ' dif or
ganizers,' * radicals,' • tecesh traitors,'
(alluding to the people who crushed the
rebellion), and yet he has not supported
the Union ticket of this county on any
one tingle occasion for the past four years,
but bolted a portion of it every cunvass,
and did hi* , utmost to defeat individual
candidates, because they did not rait hib
disordered fauey."
This paper has invariably supported the
Unioo nominations to the very best of its
ability, and has never bolted a tingle nomi
nation. " Wooly-headed O Murphy " has
voted the straight Union ticket ever since
the party baa been in existence, with the
single exception of the candidate for audi
tor two yean ago. That action we are
prepared to defend. If the Btmck-Qmard

A petition waa gotten up by the fanatics
(made desperate by recent defeat) and
circulated by them throughout the county,
and by misrepresentation and fraud they
prejudiced the country people against
the legitimate convent'on. Instead of
acknowledging the " corn." we are " beat
but we can't stand it," we will either rale
or ruin." Under this statement of affairs
many were led to sign the call for a mass
meeting—men who do not affiliate witn
or support Radical fanatics. When [the
facts are made known they will not be
slow in giving the cold shoulder to all
such diseixanising, ruining schemes, wQI
support tbe regular nominees of the Con
servative Union Convention,; and conaign
the radical fanatics to a place darker
than the cause they advocate. We will
strip off of them 'he clonk of hypocracy
and let them Bee themselves as others see

1 ANOTHER CAT UNDER THE MEAX..-«-
" It is an instinctive peculiiiriiy of politi
cal culprits to thrust upon their opponents
the charges of which they, themselves are
the most guilty." Hence we are not sur
prised that the tri-weekly Black-Guard
should publish an elaborate " exposition "
of the aims and objects of tbe Union party
| it is so anxious to defeat, wrought from
, the Over-heated braiu of its editor-in-chief
i from Tulallip. It is unnecessary for na
j to state that the assumptions contained in
i the article headed " The Schemers— Their
I Object,'' etc., is false, and black as the
race the Bads hug to their breasts. But it
does let a ray of light into the schemes of
tbe Pickwick Club, some members of
which lack . discretion, and somstim«s
give an inkling of the objects of tbschief
pipe layers. Neph ssid a few weaks ago,
"" as we are crediubly informed," that It
was absolutely nect asary fcr the clique to
rally in force and carry the County Con
vention for themselves so that a, clique
candidate for Congress could be selected
next year. This is the reason why fit
Bolter's move haa been so vigorously
•' egged on." Certain ofi rials mud have
their nu at tbe National Capital to
—path over their and say
a ward in their defence, or mut tkey gm.
