YAIUNOToN, It vdverse winds around us blow, And fortune's frown attend, But deep despair we no'er may know, Whilst earth leaves a friend. When all our brighter hopes depart, And our best prospects end, Thero's nothing that can cheer the heart Like friendship and a friend. In the tie many joys wo find Yet this doos sorrow send, .Decause a grief o'erwhelms the minds, When parting from a friend. All know an insult has its sting, When enemies contend, 13ut it will double anguish bring. .When coming from a friend. Every ewoot conceals its gall, Our higiest hopes but tend 'To disappoint-so, after all, 'Tis good to have a friend. WHAT IS MAC'. MAN is the proud and lofty pine That frowns so many wave Aeat shore; Vomatn's -the young and tender vine, 'Whose.curling tendrils round it twine, And deck its rough bark sweetly o'er. ]!fan is the dioudf -eorning storm, 'Daric as the raven's murky plume, Save where the sunbeam. light and warm, Of womanI's soil -of woman's form, Gleams-brightly-trofgh the misty gloom. Yes, 'tis io lovely woman given To soothe our grief our woes allay, To heal the heart by sorrow riven, Change earth into an embryo heaven, And drive life's weenry cares away. jFrom the Riuhmond Disp''seek.je Genurul Wado Hampsat-, WAiS1NOTON 'CoLLeGE.

Stir red by those memories, standing in this presence, once again on the ground of this grand old commonwealth-ground hallowed by as precious blood as was over poured out en battle-fields or scaf. fold-surrouinded by the brave sons of Virginia and her fair daughters, need I tell you how deep an interest this scene possesses for mo, or how willingly I oLored your summons hither ? Hat any other inducement been needed to bring me here, it would have been found in the opportunity thus offered to me of manifesting my profound re spect and veneration for your illustrious President, whose deeds in war have shed imperishable lustre on his 'country, and whose conduct in peace has shown that 'peace hath her victories no less renowned than war.' " These memories, he said, called up the grand history of Virginia, and re minded him of the striking fact that the men who had made Virginia what she was did so "not more by the greatness of their actions than by the high princi ples which prompted them." This brought him easily and gracefully to his subject-"A firm, constant, and uicom promising devotion to duty necessary to achieve true greatness or to secure last. ing happiness." He alluded to the times and circumstances under which these young men would enter the battle fluid of life as well calculated to arouse them to an appreciation of duty and an earn. est effort to discharge it. Let the young men of Virginia obey the order given by Rome to her sons, "See that the Repub lie suffers no detriment." Virginia can not now order her sons in this proud language of haughty Ione, for her voice that of old was so potent is stifled; bt in mute agony she points to the lie roic sons she has borne to teach her younger.born here to live for her, and f need be, to die for her. H drew itu! eloquent and uil vivid picture of Virgitia calling up the heroes of her gst to epeak for her. lie, held up 1) elligton. as an examph of stern do. votion.to duty, and rnm.toJ hir. no y inr, "Some Frenchman has said that the word duty is to be found in every page of my dispatches. And the word glory not once. This is meant, I nm told, as a reproach ; but the foolish fel low does not see that if mere glory had been my object the doing of toy duty must have been the means." He cired many other examples from historv by which to urge to the faithful discharge of duty. ie spoke of the material resources of Virginia, and urg - ed that our young men should dignity labor as they toiled for the prosperity of their noble old mother. He refuted the narrow skepticism that would refuse be lief in the justice of God because of our faihire in the recent contest, and the no less falso doctrine that failure prove that. our cause was unjust. After many oth er earnest appeals to the young men, he closed as follows: "Should you eovr be disposed for the sake of expediency to sacrifice duty, go to yo- 3.er quiet cemetery, and as you look upon the grave of Jackson, think of that great soldier, pure patriot, and hunule Chris. tian I "Who taught us how to live, and okm I too high, For such a prilce, who taught us how -to "Should any further incontive to con firain your wavering faithm. be then need ed, turn from thce grave of thle dead hero and Churistian to conatemplate thme -living one, and learn'to li,vo like him whose inspiration ha~s been patriotism atia whens polar-star ist 't.

A good way to oxrnnea themn From the Hartford Times.] The Latest Outrag .. The outrages of the Radical majority in Congress, in turning out, Democratic members who were legally and clearly elected, and putting in their places Radicals who have been rejected by the people in their respective districts. will recoil with damaging effect upon the party guilty of such injustice. There was never a grosser act. of political wickedness, or more wanton exerci'e of arbitrary power, than the' unseating of Mr. Voorhees. So shameless was the proceedings that when the vote was ta ken, Mr. Denting, of Connecticut, rose and left the House, saying he would not be a party to such injustice. No more excusable was the expulsion of Mr. Brooks, of New York, Mr. Bald. win, of M ichigan, and Senator Stockton, of New Jersey. It was done in accord. ance with the order of Thaddeus Ste vens, who told his party friends that it would be necessary to reduce the Dem -ocratio strength in order to make sure of a two-third vote for impeachment and other extreme party measures. None of these extreme p:arty measures were then deemed probable by a majority of the Republican members; but, Stevens assured them that they would be brought up, and the crime of unseating Democratic mnenibers without just cause was duly perpetrated. Now it is fol lowed by the expulsion of Gen. Morgan, the popular Democratic member from the 13th distriet of Ohio, who was elect. ed by a clear majority of three or four hundred over Delano, ls Radical con petitor. As in the case of Voorhees, so in that of Morgan ; in order to make out a case, teia committee was obliged to throw out the entire Democratic vote of whole precincts, and count the !Re publican vote I The latest (it ma v not be the last) of these wanton exercises of party power is the decision of the committee to let in McKee, from the 9th dist net of Ken tucky. lie only received 7,563 votes against 9,004. There was no question of Mr. Young's election, and the only excuse tho Radicals could invent for turning him out was the assertion that he was elected by "rebel" votes. Ken. lucky had never seceded, and they might wit.h as much propriety have un seattial a r. ritul ata, ... . .. .... of the First, District of Connecticut, on the plea that "rebel" votes had elected him. But they were obliged to add that while Mr. Young must i expolled, his Radical competitor, not having been elected, could not he ad'nitted. So said their committee. Now, it seems they have changed their minds: they report that McKee must be admitte' I One thing is certain. The manifold crimes of this Radical party--their or ganized spy system and their suborna tion of perjury, to hang innocent people their wicked impeachment schemes their forting of negro government . on the helpless States of the South, while they rject it at home ; their shameless gorrymutrnding of Srates and cities- to overcomo the People's will ; their un seating of Democratic Congressmen re gardless of Right and Justice,, in .order to retain a two. this da power-theso, and other crimes of the Rladical party have sealed their doom I D)eatlh awatts them as a party: and it is a oath which has no resurrection I.

If Arkansas is not a State this bitl dwin't admit her. I f she is a St:t e, no -h'gisla tion is necessary to her representation in Congress. Each House, under the ton stitution, judges the election retu-ns and the qpulificntions of its own members, and nothing is necessary to re store Ar. kansas but a decision by each house upon the elegibility of those presentmig their credentials as . representative. This is the plain and sumple plan of the Constitution. Had it been adopted in 1865 instead of legislation of doubtful constitutionality, and therefore un wise and dangerous, restoration would long since have lien accomnpiisii('d. The President again recommends the adop tion of the constitutional plan. Tho terms proposed in the bill are scarcely applicable to a Territory-cer tainly not to a State which has occupied a place in the Union over a quarter of a century. The President is unable to find authority for the conditions of the bill in the Federal . Constitution. 'The elective francliise is frest.rved by the Constitution to the dates' themselves. The bill fiils to provide how Arkansas shall signify her acceptance of the funda. mental conditions, nor does it prescribe penalties for their nullification. It is seriously questioned by the President whet her the Stato Constitution has been ratified according to the law assumed to be in force before its adoption. 'The Arkansas Constitution restricts franchiso on its ratification by tests un. known in the reconctruecti e iN ... ...1 .t.' . ...,....- and ~ oi the d47 and political rights of ill men. It is well known that a large portion, if not a large majority, of the electors do not accept this t.est ; and if applied to voters it the North, there is reason to believe inmny of them would remain away from the polls rather than comply with its degradi ig conditions. The 'resident concludes as follows "Should the people of Arkansas, there. fore, desiring to regulate the State elec tivo franchise o as to make it conform to the Constitutions of a large -propor tion of the States North and \Vest, modify the provisions referred to in the fundamental condition, what is to be the consequence ? Ia it intended that, a denial of representation shall follow ; and if so, may we not dread at some fu. Lure day a recurrence of the troubles which have long agitated the country ? woild it not be the part of wisdom to take for our guide the Federal Constitn tion rather thanl resort to measures which, looking only to the present, may in a few )Vars renew in an aggravated form the strife and bitterness caused by legislation whiich has proved to be ill tined andi~ unifortLunate.?"

Littlotiold was chosen President. ion. R. ). Rice. S. ). A inderson, J., C. M'adigan, and David R. ilastin gs were elected delegates at large to the National Conventiou. John Ware and Philip Eastman were elected Presidential electors at large, lion E. J. Pillsbury was nominated unanimouly for Governor. A series of resolutions were adopted by the Convention. Thcy declare that while the tConstitution was ordained to provide for the common defence and securo the bless ings of liberty to all, the present Congress lts excluded a large number of States from the Union and del rived their citizens of all political aind civil rights; that the time had uone fori all t.o band against the Jacobins; that the right of the (loverninent to tax the natiouatl income is clear, and ought to he alt thorized by collecting a tax on col po's; that. the proceeds of such tax should be distributed among all ot'the States equi tably; that it is tho duty of the Govern ment to abid, by the terms of all its con-. tracts, and it should not impose oppressive burdens upon the peoplo to pity bonds in gold, except such as are by their terms made so payable; that men who fought, for the Union are entitled to the same currency as hondholders, Thanks arce returned to the soldiers and sailors. The Soldiers and Sailors' Convention en toted the hall and participated in tho pro ceedings. An trtssrox or AntcANSAs.-It would seem that the dominant majority in the two 1Iouses of Congress cannot move a peg with out knocking their shins against some sharp obstacle of their own precious contrivance. The so-called representatives from the State of Arunsas presented themselves this miorning in both bodies, with their creden tials. In the House the important doou mtents were referre. to a committee for re port, at. (te earnest. demand of Ihorace May nard. There must, therefore. be some doubt. about t lie itadicalismn of one or more of the 'representat.ives.'' Tho "senators" were, however, swallowed, but, not without "e yn io'ni ans'ili toW9.ir l t credeti s'" on their faces that. the elections took place tinder (lie act of I8 .06, and they are not cer titled by the Governor under the seal of the State, as required by law. It was amusing enough to listen to the attempts of ir. Trimbull to avoid the counter difficulties which beset him on every side. lie ad mitted ihat tho present candidates for seats were elected before Arkansas was a State at all, and invoked the precedents of the ad mission of' senators elected from now States while the latter wore in a territorial condi tion. But all those precedents occurred be fore Congress undertook to regulate by law the mode and manner of the election of senators, and said "law" prescribes exactly the "manner" in which such "oredentials" shall be certified, which was glaringly vio. lated in these cases. This, however, was a small matter.-- Cor. Balltinore Sun.
