The End of the Year.
A candle in Lie socket lying,
Flickering, fading, brightening <lyir?g;
Tim autumn leaf last rustling by,
A strain of music's latest sigh.
The summer wind's last, failing breath ?
A mournful tune which tells of death;
A tiro whore embers scarce are burning?
A spiri'. to its ( ?>?! returning;
A sun extinguished lr?nn Its place,
A system vanishing in space?
Tints all tilings end save Cod!
Thus all tilings end! uh! said we so
Can aught have end that lives boiow?
Is nothingness the emlofstiife?
And void the crowning point of life!
Annihil.dioii! is there ai^it
Save madness in the monstrous thought?
We boldly say a thing is ending?
We mean some change is o'er it pending;
For matter changed, and changed must be
Foiovcr, like some changing sea;
Thus all things change save Cod!
The year is ending, quickly Hying,
I-I Iium'i mg si III among MS, M> lllg;
Willi faltering footsteps, failing last,
A few more (lavsami then the last,
llis books ate closed; eadi broken vow
Heeorded there against its noxv.
In feat fill sameness there must stay;
Each thought, each scene, now passed away; I
Aye, past and ended though they he,
The end of all things we shall see;
I hit 'Jut end is not yet.
Where goes the candle when it dies?
The leafj, the music, summer's sighs?
A tin'slfd thought, a world, a death,
Where is the home of parted Wreath?
Wl*erc goes -? year, an age, nay lliiuc?
Where is the end, iho great sublime?
All, * 1 hut center round their licing,
The(jreat, Omnipotent, All-seeing!
Unending, and unehauged forever;
In vain the end fioni Uiui we sever;
All ends are hid in tioil!

To the accomplishment of this task,
Lliey dedicilcd themselves w'th mitillering
confidence and with unshaken
faith, truisling alone to the justice of

iattse reverantly to the protection of

We intend to prove to the world the !
sincerity of our declaration that the
8?do ittolive which inspired the grand
contest we have so successfully made
was not the paltry ambition for party j
supremacy, but the sacred hope of re'
deeming our Slate. It was this hope
that led our people to a victory which I
whs grander in its proportions, greater I
111 us success, nobler in ii? promise ol
prosperity than any other ever waged
?ii this continent, lint, it was sought
to wrest I lie Iruils of this magnificent
victory Irom (lie hau ls llial won it by I
gignalio (rami ami a huso con-piraey. J
\Vlien the iiicinhers elect ot the Genera
I assembly r? paired to the Capitol
to take the scats to which the people
jot South Carolina hail assigned them,
arnieii sobers o! the !,'?'?l? ml governmeut
confronted them, ami their eertiHoatos
of election were examine! ami
passed uppon by a corporal of the
guard. A spectacle so humiliating to
| a tree people, ami so latal to repuhlican
institutions, has never been presented
in America. Ti could not have
hecn witnessed even In re, where civil
liberty lias lor years been hut a mockery,
had not the ruthless lionl ot military
power struck down the most sa
ere?i guarantees ol the constitution;
for the tread o( the armed soldier, as
lie made his rounds through the halls
of legislation, wan over the prostrate
form of liberty herself.
It was amid these oininiom, these
appalling scenes, thai the members ol
the General Assembly were called on
to jus to i me tlurir duties as the rijtrcsc'iitaMves
of u Iron Stale, ami that
State one of the oiiginal thirteen
who wot) one independence and
trained our constitution. Thai the
natural, patriotic indigo at ion of our
people did not find ex proton on in
siolonoe, is crodilahle in the higliONt
degree to them, and this was due in a
large measure to the statesmanlike and
dignified conduct of those members of
the General Assembly who had been
made the victims of this gross outrage
on their persons, and this daring conspiracy
against their constitutional
lights. Debarred the free exercise of
their rights by the presence of an
armed force, a legal quorum of the
lower House, after placing on record
a noble protest, quietly withdrew
11out the capilol and proceeded to
organize that branch of the General
Assembly. Not one form oi law nor
one requirement o! the constitution
was wanting to give force and legality
to this organization, and that its
authority has not been fully recog- i
mzed is due solely to the name armed i
usurpation which has subordinated i
the civil to the military power j
throughout this whole contest, i
<>! t lie disgrsieeluI, dangerous uml re- |
volutionary proceedings resorted to by i
the defeated party aiier the organiz.i- ;
lion <d the lower House, it I* needless '
for me to speak. You have been t he '
witnesses and the victims of these, |
ai.d the civilized world lias looked on <
with amazement, disgust and honor; i
you have seen a minority of that
House usurp the powers of ?lie whole

It is due not only io ourselves but to '
