(by mountain baa seen Tba blood of ibo mighty run down on tby groen ; Thou baal whitened the bow and tb? shield ??et away, And the people of God beaten back in dismay. Ob ! Israol, how and were tby son? and tby (laughters I Their eye? become fountains of swift gushing wu ter s t For Raul atm for Joanthan deeply they mourn'*!, Whore ?pour* from the mighty bad never been turned. ti ?ib?n ! the dows of thy mountain* ar? gone, And huro left theo a monument, blighted and lune ; Tho rains have forgot to descend on thy breast. And tho bones of tho mighty with thee do not rest. On thee woro tte chiefs and tho warriors slain, And echoes of joy becumo mon nings of pulu ; Tho un eire u mewed triutapb'd, for, Ood had forsook. III* people that day-but His throne was un shook. (Slihou ! tho slaughter tint crimson'd thy green, Where tho horse und the chariot tumultuous have been, With grief and dismay, liko tho torrent's wild roar, . Resounded through Israel, from river to eboro Yet faint woro tho horrors that gnthcr'd around, And slight woro tho murmurs of puiu on thy ground, To the ?cello ol Uothsemono, dyod In tho blood, Which wu? shod as u mau, by Immanuel Ood. Tho slain on thy mountains, Oilbon, wore mourn'd, And their belies to tho tombs of their fathers ro tutn'd And green was tho spot wburo thoy slumbor'd and slept, While tho sons and tho daughters of Israol wept. Hut nono wept fur theo-thoa dosplsed and leno! Dear Saviour, thou sulTor'dst for sins not thine own ; Deserted, contemn'.!, not a collage or shed Was left for repuse, or to shelter thy beau. Gllboa! tho anger of Ood was dUpluy'd, When widows and orphans in Israel woro made; Dut mild Wits his wrath to tito torrent lhatpour'd, In all ?ts berco strength, on thu lov'd of ibo Lord, When Calvary witnessed Ills budy upiotir'd, And tho sun was obscur'd whun His spirit do parted Wbon tho graves were disclosed, ut d their tenants nppcur'd, And fears took possession, ard chill'd tho stout? hearted. Oilbon ! thou wa?t tho sad mountain of death ! Tho warrior is slain, mid rolurns not his breath ; Hut the Mighty that suffor'd Uolgothn, on thee, lu trtuinph arose-lo save sinners-like mo. AursTon, Ju. outt itt t v. Another yoar ia upon UP, anti before ?ts cluso, wo will have another general election. Stato officers, members of thu JjOgisluturo and Congressmen aro to bo elected by us in October next. It is of vital moment to tho best inte? rests ol our State that tho present in? cumbents bo defeated, and good men oleoted in their stead. This ts practica bio, if wo will simply do two things, which wisdom demands : 1. Be united. Ile who profers a man or set of men to tho success of thc party Oppossd lo otficiul dishonesty, is not true. Wo may boast that ho is not fettered by party nominations, but when ho pursues a eourso which must end in tho dofeat of good men, ho is himself nota patriot and not tobo ti ust? ed. 2. Wo must he practicable. Thc four? teenth and fifteenth amendments to thc Constitution of'tho United States have settled many things-the first is passed, and tho second will bo. Wo must read tho changes wrought by those amend? ments. Questions which divided tho two great political parties of thc coun? try two years ago would appear ridicu? lous if lugged into-a political canvass now. They oro settled against us. Con? gressionnl reconstruction and negro suf? frage are issues of tho past, quite as much as tho Louisiana purchase and tho Mexicali war. If wo do not so re gard them, we uro impraticable, unwise, nud destined to defeat. Victory is in our hands, if wc will only grasp it. Our platform is one upon which white and black may unito and join hands. It is "opposition to official dishonesty." Wo want no other plank. Upon this, wc would nominate good men, and they would bo elected. Wo beg our readers to think over these things, aud begin to prepare themselves. By July, wc ought to have our candidates in thc field, with? out division. Soon, aye, very soon, we should commence thc work of organiza? tion. Let men begin to think of clubs; and let clubs bc as brief in their r?solu tiotis ns possible. Int them, nbovo nil things, be wisc, and careful not to waste their strength in tilling against wind? mills.- Cition Times. WHY THE SOOTH PA I LT! Er . That those who ngreo with them arc wiso men, is tho opinion of sonto people wc have either soon or rend of. Wo have at least that ronsou for holding that J'Mwin M. Stanton was a wisc man. According to Don Platt, bc said nearly a year be foro General Lee's surrcudcr : "Thc rebels have saved tts. Instead of a quick, fierce, aggressive wor, they have acted on tho defensive, and put to issue tho material resources of tho two Huolions. They are failing, through ex? haustion, and L will now crowd on men until I smother them out." How trtto. After tho battle of Manus pas tho Federal Government had not au army that would have stood n moment before our*. The whole North wns oren to us. Pennsylvania, Yew York, even Massachusetts. Nothing stopped us but ignorance of tho art of war. Tliere were no armies to do it Tho only army Mr. Lincoln had wad about Washington city. There was not half as much to prevent Beauregard from marching from Mannt*' pas to New York as four yours later stood in .Sherman's way when he marched from Allanta lo Sa VAU nah. And to think that grand soldier Stonewall Jackson wanted to march upon Ba lt I moro and take possession of Mary* land (as he could easily have dono), nt tho time of the riot of the 10th of April, nud was not permitted to do it. Jackson waa a born soldier. Tho movo would have changed thc entire aspect of affairs. But such speculations aro foolish-they uro of "such st nil'as dreams aro made of" Perhaps 'twas boat our rulers knew not ihcir business.- Rich, Dispatch, - Why doc? tho now moon resemble a giddy youth ?
