Tho La Crosse D^mm-rat publishc* the fol
lowing poem as the production of a young la
dy of that city not yet oat of hor teens. If
such be tho fact, it indicates decided talent.
Out in the sultry and dusty street,
With sun burned ringlets and nut browu feet—
Scarcely spanning the width of iny hand,.
Is tho tiny print they leave in the sand—
Deep, flashing eyes and a forehead bold,
Telling of gonitis richer than gold
A jacket hanging in wrent and shred—
This is ray hero—my little Fred.
Hll mother is but a vulgar cook—
His homo is filthy, garret nook—
His heaven, the uoisy, jostling street.
Where bravely falloth his lictlo feet
Sore and bleeding thongh they may be
Yet often he trips so joyously—
Unheeding yet feeling the curse and the WOK,
That greets lam iu bounty wheroe'r he may ge.
Oh that thy soul so lilly white
So fair and pure in its dawning light
So soon shall be darkened by pain and sin
That the light of love may not enter in I
Oh! that thy infancy—free unci glad—
Should bo soured to life so stern and sad,
That thy heart with its wealth of rock-bound
pearl*
Should be lost in the depths of life's lowest
whirls.
The years will pass and thy soul, HO white,
Will he a shade in sin's darkest uight
And those little feet will !eup to go
Through the darkest deeds the son! mar know.
fod pity thee, Fred God pity them all
Whose first years are sorrow, bitterness, gall I—
Who through all their dark and dreary youth
Know all of life but God and Truth.
E PI1CATE.
'Eighteen years ago, the ship 1 com
manded was dancing over the waves,
on a mission of mercy. Laden by
generous contributions of a New Eng
land city, she was bound to the Cape
de Verds, with bread for the famine
stricken and dying. Brighter skies
never gladdened the sailor's heart
than those which were bent over us
ptoaaanter gales never filled the sails
of the sea journeyer than those which
sped us to the haven where we should
a now majr God have the
ship in his holy keeping," tho prayer
which concluded the old English bill
of lading, was heard and granted, we
felt, as we trod on the deck of the
stout craft, whose errand was to suc
cor toe destitute.
It was now the fourteenth day out,
just in the gray of the morning, that
the mate aroused me with the start
ling intelligence that a suspicious ves
sel was in sight. With the first ray
of light, the vigilant officer had des
cried her, and she was now so near
as to be made out with a glass. I
was on deck in an instant.
The first glance at the strange ship
almost dispelled the fear that the
mate's alarm had occasioned.
Why, Mr. Larteiu,' I said, laugh
ing as I spoke. there's nothing suspi
cious in that lubberly-looking craft.—
She is a Portuguese brigantine—she
can't sail,'
$hc looks like the .build,' said the
mate, 'but she is built for sailing,, and
she'll apread canvass, in a wind like
this, that'll send her skimming like a
.gull over the sea. And look now atwas
the men on her deck.'
One glance through the telescope
was enough to satisfy me that he was
right.
The vessel wait sharp built, of light
draft, and rigged like a brigarftiiH*.-*
Her masts raked very slightly bo
aides the canvas ustial to such a rig,
she was fitted to carry a lugger sail,
which, when spread before the wind,
would add to her speed. In addition
she was pierced for twenty-two sweeps.
decks were rruwrlcd with mvii.
It's no honest craft, Mr. Larkin,' I
•aid, but she may not be a pirate for
all that. One need not be surprised
to fall in with a slaver hereabouts.'
She's no slaver, captain.'
%t Why do you think so?'
1
Because she has guns on her decks
instead of water casks.
41
did not say she had a cargo of
slaves in,' I replied.
'Then why dpes she carry so many
guns on deck? If without a cargo
her guns should be below if with one
there should be more guns on deck.
If that ain't a pirate, never believe
me again.'
A" if to put stn emjj tp our specula
tions and clear up fhe niysteiy, the
suspicious .craft began to spread more
canvas, and as she gathered atvay
with the freshening breeze, they ran
up to her loromast a Hag, which, when,
it reached the truck, nnshook its folds
in the wind. On a white ground we
saw tho terrible insignia of the free
booter, the death's head and cross
bones, painted in diabolical black.—
I thought so,' said Mr. Larkin, quiet
ly and the ship has no guns.'
What arms have you, Sir. Larkin
I asked.
'An old horse-pistol, and the lock
out of order.'
'And I have only an old fowling
piece and a pair of pistols. I fear
these fellows will make their own
terms with us.'
'Yes cut our throats and adminis
ter to our effects afterwards,' replied
the mate, walking forward.
We made all the sail we could, but
fifteen minutes satisfied me that es
cape was impossible. The report of a
gun from the pirate, and a shot whist
ling over us, speedily brought us to.
The pirate came quietly along like a
panther which, sure of its prey, was
in no great hurry to seize it.* The
moment he came within speaking dis
tance, he hailed, and ordered me to
launch a boat and cone on board,—
We got out the quarter-boat, and I
was about to jump into her, to pay
my respects in person to the villain,
when Mr. Larkin asked leave to go.
If they want the captain,' said he,
let them send for him. I'll see if the
mate won't answer as well.'
DEFECTIVE PAGE
He had scarcely put his foot on the
deck of the pirate when he again ap
peared on the rail, and descended to
the boat, which began to pull back.—
Almost the same instant a launch was
swung over the rail, into which twen
ty savage looking rascals, armed to
the teeth, sprang and pulled towards
us. Ten minutes afterwards they
I were on board my vessel, and began
(clearing away the main hatch.
The leader, a swarthy fellow, whose
square, compact frame 'indicated great
strength, and whose eyes, black and
[hazy and half conceald by the lids,
(expressed cruelty and cunning, ap
proached the cabin hatch, where I
stood, and addressed me in tolerable
jluiglish:
Are von the captain ot this ves
jsel?'-
'Yes,'I replied.
What's your cargo
Flour.'
Where from

'Whereto?

ph'l at me.' .u.j~
starving there,
uud lookim
Yes and the flour in my vessel
[was freely given by good ..Christians
to feed those starving people/aiT
The rascal coiit'nmed.-ihis deliberate
gaze a moment, then turned towards
his men, who by this tinie.had broken
into the main batch, and, in a rough,
commanding tone, spoke a tew words
in Spanish, which 1 could not make
out. The men looked up in astonish
ment, and then withdrew to the side,
where they stood gazing cautiously
towards their captain—for such was
my interrogator. He thrust his hand
behind him, and walked quietly to and
fro for five minutes then he said,
sharply, turning to me—
You Americans are all heretics
why should you send flour to feed
starving Catholics
'Because they are our fellow-men,
and their Saviour is our Saviour,' 1
answered, astonished at the conduct
of the man.
If you lie to me,' he erh-d, with a
fierceness which startled me^ if you
lie to me, I'll nail you down to your
own deck. Is this cargo the free eift
gift
of your countrymen to "the starving
I'll prove it to you by my papers,'
I answered.
-'Xdon't want to see your papers,'
he returned 'swear it.' As he spoke,
he'crossed' himself devoutly.
I swear,' I replied, solemnly.
The pirate lifted his cap,: and bent
his head devotedly, when I mentioned
the Trinity. He, ilood still, with his
iead bent over, while one might mod
erately have counted fifty. When he
raised himself up, it seemed to me
there was less ferocity in his counte
nance. His eyes were #0 longei^half
closed, but open arid clear in,'their
depths. I looked steadily at{ h£m.
Captain,' said he, courteously,' can
you supply me with two or three casks
of water?'
I gave the order, and the water was
lowered into the boat. A word from
him sent his cut-tin oats over the side,
but he lingered behind, and, after a
moment's hesitation, as though he hadtled
half-repented of his resolution and
ashamed of what he was doing,
he approached me, with his hand ex
tended.
God bless you!' he exclaimed, as
he felt my grasp and send you where
the starving re praying for bread.'
The next moment he was gone. It
is very probable the piratical rascal
was afterwards hung, as no doubt he
deserved to be. But however terrible
ids fatCj I am sure that from his heart,
seared and made callous by crime, and
self-desecrated, there burst forth a
little warm gleam of tight which miti
gated somewhat the1 desolation, and
relieved, though it could not entirely
dispel, the gloom of his dying hour.
A I A N SUNSHINE.
"Pure air for the lungs" -iiKFljright
sunlight for the eyes" is a physiologic
al maxim which should never be for
gotten. On this subject the Spring
field Republican has some very good
remarks. It says:—"When the trees
about a dwelling shade the ground so
thoroughly that the grass ami shrub
bery wilttfoc'gltfwpaiidth'e'looms of
the house have a constant air of damp
ness and gloom, and the' outside gath
ers moss and mold, it is time to make
war upon the trees, and open a path
way for sunshine and warm air. If it
were not for the beniiicierit visits 6f the
hot winds trom sunnier spots occasion
ally, such homes would he as noisome!
and fatal as tombs. The vital statistics
of cities show most healthy, notwith
standing the insane efforts made even
by the inhabitants of cities to exclude
the little sunlight that attempts to
reach them and we have no doubt
that the statistics of country residences
would show the same general fact.
A certain amount of shade is essential
to comfort, but when it reaches the
poiut of excluding sunshine altogether,
it becomes a positive evil. When we
talk about opening windows and
doors, we know what the exclamation
of tidy housekeepers will be. Flies
are a nuisance, we confess, multitudi
nous, disagreable and dirty dust from
the streets is insufferably, and faded'
carpets a daily mortification. But
after all, are not rosy cheeked and
healthy children, and vigorous and
cheerful women, more ornamental and
more esential to the comfort of a fami
ly than the best preserved colors iu
wosted work or entire immunity from
the annoyance of flies? Let us wel
come the visits of the healthful air and
sunshine, and look out for the essential
conditions of vigor and- cheerfulness
first of all, and if matters of mere show
must be sacrificed, why, let them
slide.'
First—That the States of the Union are
sovereign and equal: and the powers not ex
pressly delegated to the Federal Government
are retained by the people of he States.
Second—That the people of the Territo
ries are justly entitled to the undisturbed
regulation of their local affairs, free from
intervention by Cong ess or by any Stale,
and subject only 10 tho Consliution ofihe
United Sta es that, on attaining the num
ber of inhabitants equal to the ratio of rep
resentation in the lower house ot Congress,
such people have the right to organize a
State Government, and demand admission
into the Federal Union and that, in the
organization of such State Government, the
People, by the will of. the majority, fairly
expresedat the ballot-box, have the exclu
site right to adopt any constitution Which
does not conflict with' a Republican form of
governme- t.
Thii'd--'-The Democracy of Minnesota re
iterate, .and fully endorse the
:Congress
Fifth—-That Ameri an citizenship em
braces persons of all creeds aud ationalities,
who, tinder the laws, acknowledge and ren
der allegiance to the American government
and that the Democratic party iccogniie no
distinction let ween such citizens, whether
native born or. na uralized, but guarantee-ti
dl, alike, the same political xL0.1s.at home,
and the same goVeruientsd protection abroad.
And we further declare that the amendments
to the Constitution of Massachusetts, placing
additional restrictions up the admission of
foreign-born adopted citizens to tbe right of
sutferage, is an ac of "the Republican party,
and ti at we hold them responsible for it, as
an open avowal of principles which are secret
ly and covertly held by that party in Minne
sota, and wherever that sectional organiza
tion exists which is manifested by ttie
fact that they have placed in nomination
the suffrage of the native and adopted citizen
of Minnesota, James H. Baker, for Secretary
of State, Gordon K. Cole, for Attorney Gene
ral, and William Windom, for Representative
in Congress, thiee open and avowed Know
nothings.
Sixth—That alliaws of the United States,
duly enacted, should be obeyed and respect
ed unl ss declared unconstitutional by the
judicial tribunals and that the aid and en
couragement given by the Republican party
in Ohio, Wisconsin, and elsewuere. to sist
the laws, convist it of being sectional, reas
onable, and revolutionary in- its objects and
aims.
Seventh--That the principles embraced in
the asure know 1 as the Homestead Bill
were and are of Democratic origin first in
troduced in Congress by a member of that
party, and, during the last session, votod for
by our Senators and Representatives and
that the provisions of any future Homestead
Bill should apply to settlers thereafter
loc te upon public lands, and those now set
upon them, as well as to lands subject to
private entry or to pre emption that the at
tempt of the Republican party to claim it as
their measuie is, th refore, preposterous
and absurd, but that, on the contrary, the
policy of the Republican party has been, aud
now i*, the distribution of the proceed* of
the public lands amongst all the States, thus
despoiling the public land Stales for the bene
fit of the older States of the Union, as wit
nessed by its advocating the passage of the
Agricultural College Bill during the last ses
sion of Congress, in advance of the Home
stead Bill—thus taking Iroin tt State ol
Minnesota over three millions or acres of
land and donating the same to the older
States, thereby creating State Land Monop
olies iu our midst and disposing of the pub
lic domain they professed by the Homestead
Bill to be desiri.tw of donating as homes for
the homeless.
Kighth—That all sales of the public lands
are contrary to the settled policy of the
Democracy of Minnesota, and this Conven
tion pledges the influence of the par in
op-Postage
position To any disposition of the public do
main other than to actual settlers under the
operation of a liberal homestead or pre-emp
tion law. Tfiat the sal© at this time of the
lands now advertised in this State, would be
oppressive to pioneer settlers upon he pub
lic domain, obnoxious to the earnest and fre
quently expressed seimiments of ihe Dem
ocracy of the .^tatej and repugnant to the
policy indicated by Andrew .Jackson and en
dorsfed b'y^ the President in his inaugural ad
dress. Tliis Convention therefore most
respectfully and urgently solicit the Presi
dent to postpone those sales, as a treaus of
preserving a numerous class from actual
ruin, and contributing to the best interests
of the State.
Ninth-r-That the covert opposition of the
leaders of the' Hepubliccn party in this
Slate to the admission of Minnesota, and
the open oposilion of the Representatives of
that party in Congress, to the admission ol
both Minnesota and Oregon, demonstrate
the hypocrisy of Republican preiensons as
being the pecular friend of Free States.
Tenth—That the arges made by the
late Republican Convention that the officers
of the State and the Democratic party had
tampered with the purity of the Hot boxfair
to secure their ascendancy at the las
State election, is dishonoring to the State,
and still.more so to those who made them
as they know them to be false and un
founded and the fact that their candidate
for Governor was repeatedly invited an 1
challenged to test the qu stion before the
legal tribunals of the State, which he and
his political friends declined to do, affords
the most convincing proof that neither he
nor they believed what they so vehemently
asserted. And in thus repelling their foul
charges, we declare our unl.mited confidence,
in the integrity and patriotism of the present
S ate Administration.
Eleventh.—That the present numerous
representation in the two hotu.es of the
Legislature is an unnecessary source of ex
pense to the people of the State, and that
this, as well as the present expensive system
of county government, should be changed,
and the people relieved from the exorbitant
taxation to which they are now subjected
and that this Convention, therefoie, pledge
the Democratic party of the State to use its
power to change the' present system of
county government.to reduce 1 representa-
A in to the articles of in the Legislature to the lowest number

Fourth—That any attempt to reopen the
African Slave Trade, is disgraceful to the age
and country^ a Uiat the advocate* oi this
inhuman traffic are enemies the govern

peace, honor, dignity, and existence of the

Twelfth—That the connection of Lake Su

Sound by railroad, is a great national work,
vital to the defence and permanence of the
Union and the Democracy of the State
stand pledged to urge the early construction
of a railroad over the Northwestern route,
and the extension of the provisions of the
reciprocity treaty from its present western
limits to the Pacific, and thus secure the
early and rapid development of the fertile
region* of country upon and west of our
northern frontier.
Thirteenth--That it is the duty of the
people of Minnesota to pre erve inviolate
the laith and credit of the State. That the
doctrine of repudiation announced the
Republican party is one which is abhorrent
to the Di mocr :cy, and must receive the con
dom nation of the honest.masses. That we
pledge the Democratic party that Minnesota
shall honorably and pmmp'Iy meet all ob
ligations res ing upon her and we further
pledge the Democratic paity to ihe follow
ing
1st. To effect an equitable arrangement
ith the Land Grant Railroad Companies by
which no further issue of State Ronds shall
•e made to them, and in respect lo those al
ready issued, to provide lor meeting prompt
ly the payment of the interest as well as
principal.
2d. To confine the public liabilities within
their present limits and to favor the prose
cution of the railroads, including the rail
road to- Lake Superior, with the least possi
ble dela}
3d. To modify the bankinc law of the
State so as to establish a sound currency, and
4th. To advocate such legislation as will
more fully sure to the State a guarantee
tnat the securities held by her from the
Railroad Compat ies shall be sacrificed
and 1 hat the roads left in the hands of pur
chasers discharged ol all obligations for the
loan ol State ceedi', as w»uld inevitably be
the result, tould :he programme of th««
Republican part be fully canted out.
