-I LOVE GOD'S BEAUTEOUS WORLD.
BY MRS. 0. LADD.
Earth Is the home of time; [leaven of ete
nity,
I love,
When earth Is sleeping on the breast of
'ight
love to roam;
When not a footstep save my own
Falls in the ear,
I love to wander in the silent vale,
beside the babbling brook, and gaze
Upon the broad bright vault above
And mark the change; that tell
Of Coming day
In the gray tints of morn I love to watch
The starry host, as o'ne by one, they fade
away,
11ke some dissolving scene. Melting from
view,
-1Iiding their far off golden eyes
Dehind the etherial blue.
I love to mount
Jp, up. to the mountain brow,
As morn with roseate floods of light
Illumes the distant eastern sky,
'eading out gollen arms to lift
The canopy of night.
The veil that o'er the sleeping, dreaming,
world,
Night flung, that she might weep
'Dew drops. % ith no eyes to see
Save the bright morning stars,
That once together sweetly's9ng
In all their melody,
-striking their harps till ifeavAe1h hihh arch
tang with the joyous strain that tishbred in
The natal morn of earth,
bod's gift, Time's child was born,
And in its young rich beauty lay
Fresh from the hands of Him,
fleaven's great architeet.
Then as now. night silent stole away,
'lefore the tints of purple light
Ushering in the day.
In hours like those the heart can hold
Communion with the spirit world,
Roaming in realmns, far, far beyond the
sig'hm't;,
Where soa meets soul, aM th' soft melting
strafnt,
iysterio's spell, sWeet musio 'af 'tie heart
Gushos in wild deligit.

When the day's last lingering ray
Kiss the clouds, th6n fades away.
tirti is beautiful.
Ae evening twilight fades, and night
With itealthy steps steals o'er thu world
tringing the watch stih O1t., to keep
Their vigils. Sweet. hoIseless sentinels
'uarding our mothe earth
While she througb their l6ne watches sleeps.
Then to make beauty, still wore beautiful,
The full round oon in all her majesty,
Oomes o'er the Eastere hill, as queod,
dfr all that wondrons i'tAfry Aalexy,
Dlathing the earth, in her bOl' blive4y Sight
\ Making the shadowy forms light as a Fay~
With noiseless feet, danch o'er the plain,
* ~ oming, reoeding, melting far away,
AssufMng wild fantastic shapes,
Till fanby gives them life.
'Tis in sueh hours, amidst sueh scenes,
* Thnt eat,h, and earthly passions dies
N6 Rolind Awakes the soul entranced
From its Sweet dreams of bliss,
liles, only known beyond thie skies.
It Is the hour, when ineense putre
ifroth the heart.'s deep fountia kfiSe,
In sileht adoratiob, tb the th'rbrlu of God.
in AU'dh is hour
No human passions mar the breast,
No cloutdB the arch above,

Why so beauliful ?
Why *ab earth tmade Be beautifult
Why does God's spe4ial dAI'i

National Democratic Convetion :
0 04NBRAL:-1 take the earliest '6o'rfatni
ty of replying to your 'otto'r 'hotifying me t
of my nomination for Vice-President of the n
United States by the National Democratic
('onventon recently held in the city of Now

tion tendered in a nitsner so gratifying, M
had give you and the committee my thanks il

are clear aiV chiAnt be obscured or distort
ed by the sophistries of our adversaries.- 0
They all resolve themselves into the *ld
and ever-rehoWiVi s;6ugglo'6f a fe'w men t6 ti

This cffort, nW every conceivAble tme a
and disguise, has always characterized the
opponents of th'e Democratic party, but at 0
no time hal the a(t'bApt asOmed a shape so
open and daring as m this contest. The a
adversaries of free and constitutional gov- r
ernment, in defiance of the express language
of the Constitution, have erected a military
despotism in ten of the States of the Union,
have taken from the President the powers
vested in him by the supre6 IA*, k6d have ti
deprived the Supreme Court of itb jurisdio- s
tion. The right of trial by jury, and the b
great writ. of right, the AMius corpus
shields of safety for every c1tiWen, and
which have descended to us from the earli- 0
est traditions of our ancestors, ala Which
our Revolutionary fathers sought 'o secure
to their posterity forever in the fundamen
tal charter of our liI erties--ihavo beed t
ruthlessly trampled under foot by the frag
ment of a Congress. Whole States aid
communities of people of our own race hfive
been attainted, convicted, condemned, and r
deprived of the rights as citizdus, without 'I
presentment, or trial, or witnesses, but by t
congressional enactment of expost facto laws,
and in defiance of the constitutional prohi
bition denying even to a full and legal Con
gress tho authority to pay any bill of attaip- e
der or ex postfacto law. The same usurp
ing authority has substituted as electors in
plade of the men of our own race, thus ille.
gally attainted and disfranchised a host, of*
ignorant negroes, who are supported in V
idleness with the public money, and con. a
-bined toge4her to strip the white race of
their birthright, through t,ho management
ol' Freedmen's Bureaus and the emissaries
ot conspirators in other States, and, to com
plete the oppression, the military p6ier ofU.t
the nation have been placed at their dispo- c
sal in order to make this barbarism su- V
preme.
The military loader under whose prestige
this usurping tongress has taken refuge
since the condemnation of their schemoes by c
the free people of the North in the elections 0
of the tlat year, amid whom they have so- t
lected as their can adat to shield themselves
from the result o heir own wickedness and
crime, has announ6'ed his acceptance of the
nomination, And his willingness to maintain
their usurpations over eight millions of white J
people at the South fixed 'to the earth with t
his bayonets. Ne *exclaims : "Let us have
peace." "Peace reigns in Warsaw" was ithe
announoment which heralded tmo doom of
the liberties of a nation. "The Empire is !
peace," exelaimed Bonaparte, when free
dom and its derdnders expired under the t
sharp edge of his sword. The peace to t
which Grant invites us is the peace of des
potism and (loath.

1. That.it would be ektrenmelv impracti
able, if not impossible, for' tbese. or
thor popular electior,s to tnke place in

rescribed by the bill, because, among
ther things, in order to secure the free

idicious selection of Managers of Elde.
on should be made, whici could not
tke place in the prescribed time.
2. Because a large number of persons

arms of the elirters of said cities and

'ature in the several charters which ihn~
osee a local capitation tax
