i AT1i lD AY AFTERNOON
BY N. P. Wasi.1 e.
1 lo-e to look on a scene like thi',
Of wild and iareles piay
And persuade myself that I am old,
And my looks are tiot yet g,'ay
For it stirs the blood of an old man's hear)
And makes his pulses fly,
To catch the thrill of it happy voice,
And the light of a pleasant eye.
I have walked the world for four score years,
And they say I hat I am old
That my heart is ripe foi (he reaper Dealli
And my years are well nigh told,
It is very true-it ik very truoe
I am old, and I ''bide my time ;"
Biut my heart will leap at a scone liko this,
And I half renew my prime.
Play on f play on f I am with you there,
In the midst :of your merry ring ;
I vani fool the thrill of Ihe darling jump,
And the rush of tie breathless swing
I hide with you in ieto fragant hay,
And whoop the sirotbored call,
And my feet slip up on the seedy floor,
And I care not for the full.
I an willing to die when my Ii me shall
come,
And I shall be glad to go
For the world, at best,is a weary place,
And my pulse is getting low ;
Dut the grave is dark, and the heart will
fail
In trending Its gloomy way
A nd it Niles my breast frow its (reariness
To sea the young so gay.

propriety, inquire what right yous have to
doubt the friendly spirit, with which I, and
others of your fellow.exlhitveholders, are
isposel to denl with those lately' our

or claims over us because of more humane
and generous treatment of these people
when we held I he pow'r over thetm ? I will
not say that ynu Merc a worse mahter than
A, B or C, but I will sny I hat t here is many
a christhan gentlethan het tlhis coninunity,
who was as good and generotis a master, as
yourself, who went up to the Demoratio
meeting, and has never coniidered it his
duty to join the party to which you have
attachet your political fortunes. and out
side of whoso, mottled rants you would inite
the colored mears believe ho has no friends.
Not even in the person of somo generous t
man im whose fattily ie was rea'ed and
eared for, and whose memory mnay, to the
freedman, be associated with 'ho kindest
recollotions of a service that,. was never
too exating, and ofa hindne.M which in
sickness or health near varied. lBut, sir,
you have gone furthor-you have permitted
yourself, in the flurry, I hope, of ant im,.
promptu speech, to make t he strong and
irritating declaration that these ntt-al
huding to the )emocratic citizens of this
conliunuity-would enslave the colored men
again to-tnorrow if they durcd. Give me
leave to say that I scarcely know how to
reply to this chargo. lhut imitating the
tiihiess of'speecl which led Pani to say,
"I am not mad, most noble Festus, hut,
speak fort I t lie words of truth, of sober
ness," I would retark that your statemtient.
is entirely unfouuled, so far, at least, ats it
regards tha great body of thie Southern po
ile. They desire no re- establishnent of
slavery. The Veinoeitaic party 'lvocat
no such propohitton. In the l'rovidence of
od, African slavery was esttbtisliei andi
extended in this land. it did much for t he
black mall. It brought hitt front the wild'
and barlbarism of Africa, and unde10r its nu
spicos lie was improved morally, intellee.
tually and physically. It placed i:n in
cont.ntt with the white race ; and, as time
rolled n, the colored people of the u. tttherin
States becanc the most Iighly improved
portion of t.h1o African race in the wollil.
But aimid the cliinges wrought. in the great
conflict. hetween the Sotiern St.aftea in

t hat any body of men, or any party at tle

grtuitotis as1Msumption, unsupported by the
liailow of etvitdemi4:e
ht you say, iotln, to Ithse men, who nrc
accucteimed. I presum e,to at tatoh weight to
your words, that lie men you are caition
ing thcii to view withisojealoutx an eye, are
oppos'li to conceding t hem an'y rights what
ever. This yu will perceive, Sir, is ia
iomprehenil ivtl 41satmolnt. liut where is
tIhe authority 1ula1r. hich to base this sweep
