A Song for September.
September strews the woodland o'er
With many s brilliant colo* ' A*f-\n\
The world ia brighter than Wdr?VW ?
Why ahould our hearts bo duller?
^Sad thongn?a ?n^?uuny weather^;' ?J
Ah'mel thU glory and thia grief f;
Agree not well together. .7g ' J^^., ^
ThU U tho parting seaeon-this
The time when friends are flying;
And lovers now, with many a kies,
Their lop? farewelU aro olghing,
Why is earth so gaily drest? J3r&
Trna pomp that autumn bears
A funeral seoms, where every^jp
A bridal garment wearcth.
Each one of os, perchance, may here,
On some blue morn hereafter,
Return to view, the gaudy ysatS?C^
But hot with boyish laughter;
We shall then be wrinkled men.
Our crows with silver laden, '
And thou .thU glen ni ny'st. seek again,
But no ver mo vc a maiden!
Nature, perhaps, foresees that spring
Will tonch her teeming bosom,
And that a fow brief months will bring
The bird, tho bee, tho blossom;
Ahl these forests do not know
Or would less brightly wither
The virgin that adorns them so
Will never more come hither!
. Practical Jokes.
Although we are all grown so prac?
tical, and study how to becomo more
so with daily increasing success, yet
practical joking is at a discount.
Practical jokes are now voted vulgar,
witless, stupid, ill-natured and it is
really impossible ? to deny that the
popular verdict is a correot one; but
they aro, nevertheless', often ^ quite
amusing-as witness the following:
In the year 1778, a nephew of the
Emperor of Morocco visited Paris as
his unole's ambassador. He -was re?
ceived with great pomp at the court,
and all the nobility Tied with one
another in giving him fetes. Certain
young men thought this afforded
them a good opportunity for playing
a trick upon a very pretentious man
named Septouville, a rich horse
dealer. .They began by persuading
him'that *Tro ?u^ht 'to invite the
Moorish prince to a f?te at his coun?
try house,, whioh was ode ol the most
beautiful in tho environs bf Paris;
they assured him that1 they had suf?
ficient influence to persuade his ex?
cellency to accept tho invitation and
honor the afluir with his presence.
They pointed out to him that the
money it. cost would bo well spent
in the end; that a connection of this
description would give great notorie?
ty to his business, and enable him to
extend' it considerably, and that very
likely his excellency would, out of gra?
titude, send him some Barbs. Sep?
ten ville calculated all'these advan?
tages, and decided without much
struggle to reoeive the ambassador
with all the expens? and show proper
on the occasion. Some days after?
wards, he was informed that his ex?
cellency consented to do him the
honor of passing a day at his place,
to 'hieb, ne would come on such a
day, at such an hour. The merchant
immediately began doing all he could
think of to render his house worthy
of receiving such a guest He order?
ed fire-works of Torre, the great
man of the age in that line; he had
his grounds and the front of his house
brilliantly illuminated; he engaged
the most - celebrated musicians at a
great expense; he sent out invitations
to all the nobility and people of
fashion whose names and addresses
he could get hold of, to the court, to
the most distinguished foreigners, to
all the handsomest actresses. Of
course, the arrangements for the
banquet were on a scale correspond?
ing with all the other preparations.
On the appointed dav, after hav?
ing allowed himself to be waited for
for some time, the ambassador, ac?
companied by all his court, arrived
in a magnificent carriage. He was
received with a flattering address, to
which he replied by means of an in?
terpreter. He was asked to sing,
and consented with the utmost affa?
bility. The fete went on capitally,
and Septen ville was out of his wit?
with joy. At the banquet, he refused
to sit at table with so illustrious a
guest, but insisted on standing be?
hind his chair, with a napkin under
his arm. The ball opened, and the
{juests enjoyed themselves thorough
y, without suspecting any trick, till
3 o'clock' m the morning, when a
body of soldiers and police appeared
in the ball-room. They had come to
take the sham ambassador into cus?
tody, and Septenvillo found he had
been duped. The man who played
the part of the ambassador was the
.sou of a;bookseller named Prault.
.He was precisely of the samo age and
.shape as the Moorish prince, and
was so well got up as to deceive every?
body. WToO ffJ?
The idea of sending innumerable
coffins, hearses, wedding-carriages,
pictures, beds,' tables, &o., at a given
day and hour, to nu unfortunate
individual's' houso, waa originally
..French. ' i ? ' {*
But, ?fter all, tfa?s? elaborate jokes
are not so humorous aa those* which
ure spontaneous, suoh ?s tup follow?
ing:
A young French gentleman, who
led a very gay life, going to bed late
and getting, np late, lodged. in an
entresol. A milk-woman took up her
position under his window, and tho
chattering of her customers, with the
braying of her donkey, effectually
destroyed his slumbers. In vain he
remonstrated; the milk-w?r?an said
she had a right to the pavement, and
that place suited her. Ho got up,
No good! W?ftV^f^Sf^w??uld she
take to select another station? Noth
itig; he was an nriatobittt|rftMdi..ahe
mado it a point of honor to stand upon
her rights. "Well, then,* hs ?id at
last, "siuco you will not listen to
reason, I must appeal ' to vorjr
donltoy;" and he whispered in Ned?
dy's ear, the crowd which had gather?
ed round laughing at him till ho ran
in. Presently, however, the donkey
began to kick and plunge, os if it
were possessed, spilling all the milk,
butter, oheeae, &o. The woman
cried out "witchcraft." The crowd
took up the cry, and there wns st?ch
a riot that the police came. *
"What is tho matter?" asked tho
commissary. ;
4?A' young man who lives on tho
entresol has bewitched my ass, " replied
the milk-woman.
"Pooh, pooh," said the commis?
sary; but tho woman would not bo
pooh-poohed, and ho had to take her
up to the gentleman's apartments
and confront him with tho complain?
ants
She told her story at length. The
?oung mau waited patiently till she
ad quite done, and then said: "Sir,
this woman has spoiled my night's
rest for this month post. I have
complained, I have entreated; she
hW scorned my requests arid my
prayers. I could not revengo my?
self upon a woman; but her donkey,
who is masculine, had no such claim
npon my forbearance; besides, the
peculiar eries of the animal are what
is most distressing to me. This ass,
as avaricious os his mistress, has a
Bister upon whoso succession he
counted, but who is going to marry
again; it was this news, whispered by
mo in his ear, which exasperated him
to such a degree, that he conducted
himself in so violent a manner."
The commissary, who could hardly
keep his countenance, said that tho
young man had better pay for tho
mild that was spilt, and advised the
milk-woman to move her station be?
yond the reach of a man who had
such a peculiar power of convers?
ing with animals. Both assented,
and the woman took the money,
crossed herself, and went.
"And now, then," said tue com?
missary to thc young man, "how did
you do it?"
"I dropped a lighted fusee in tho
brute's ear," said he.
A French auditor of accounts in
tho seventeenth century was a great
practical joker all his life, and even
played a trick after ho had lost tho
power of enjoying it, for he left four
large candles to be carried at his funo
ral, which had been burning fifteen
minutes before they went off as fire?
works.
When a lady condescends to a
practical joke, it generally is ajvery
neat ono. M. Boncour, tho rich
financier, was very stingy to his wife
in the matter of pin money. One
day a lady, closely veiled, and very
anxious not to bo recognized, called
npon him and borrowed a largo sum,
leaving her diamonds as a pledge. It
was his wife.
The ancients used to indulge in
practical jokes to a considerable ex?
tent. For instance, tho Thraciaus,
at their drinking parties, sometimes
played the game of hanging. They
fixed a round noose to the bough of
a tree, and placed underneath it a
stone of such a .shape that it would
easily turn round when any ono
stood on it. Then they drew lots;
aud he who drew the lot took a sickle
in his hand, stood on tho stone, and
put his neck into the halter. The
st ono was kicked away; and if ho
could cut himself down with his
sickle, well and good; but if he was
not quick enough, he was hanged
outright; "and tho rest laugh, think?
ing it good sport."
Then there was somo old gentle?
man-I forget his name and nation
who pretended to mako friends with
his enemy, and asked him to dinner;
and for tho last course, a largo dish
was brought in, which proved, when
uncovered, to contain the heads of
tho guest's wife and family. This
was cariying a joke rather too far.
Nero's jests were likewise vory
practical. "What a fat fellow that
senator isl" he observed one day to
a oourtier; "see mo cut him down I"
And he did it in the most facetious
manner.
Indeed, in the early stages of
civilization, practical wit is apt to be
grim; as society advances, jokes at
other people's expense are not quite
so heartless; when we reach a certain
pitch, of refinement, nothing gives
us pleasure which causes pain to
another, and then thero is a ebance
of practical joking dying out altoge?
ther-except in the case of boys,
who will probably never be human?
ized.

natrog ' justice ot tho people-st anding
upon the Constitution as the foundation
and limitation of tho powers of the Go?
vernment, and the guarantee of tho liber?
ties of the citizen, and recognizing tho
questions of slavery and secession aa
having been settled, for all time to comp,
by the war, or tho voluntary action of tho
Southern States, in Constitutional Con?
ventions assembled, and never to bc re?
newed or re-agitated, do, with tho return
of peace, demand:
1st. Immediate restoration of all thc
States to their right? in the Union, un lor
tho Constitution, and of civil government
to tho American peoplo.
2d. Amnesty for all past political
offences, and tlio regulation of tho elective
franchise in the States by their citizens.
3d. Payment of tho public debt of tho
United States as rapidly au practicable;
all moneys drawn from the people by tax?
ation, except eo much as is requisito for
tho necessities of tho Government, econo?
mically administered, being honestly ap?
plied to such payment; and, whore* the
obligations of the Government do not
expressly state upon their face, or tho
law tinder which tbey wero isBiicd does
not provide that tbey shall bo paid in
coin, they ought, in right and in justice,
be paid in tho lawful money of tho United

4th. Equal taxation of every species of

cluding Government bonds and other pub?
lic securities.
5th. Ono currency for tho Government
and tho people, tho' laborer and tho office?

producer and tho bond-holder.
Gth. Economy in tho administration ot
tho Government; tho reduction of tho
standing army and navy; tho abolition of
tho Freedmen's burran, and all political
instrumentalities designen to securo
negro supremacy; simplification of thc
system and discontinuance of inquisitori?
al modes of assessing and collecting inter?
nal revenue, so that the burden of taxa?
tion may bo equalized and lessened, the
credit of tho Government and tho curren?
cy made good; tho repeal of all enact?
ments for cnrolliug the State militia into
national forces in time of peace; and a
tariff for reveuuo upon foreign imports,
and such equal taxstiou, under tho inter?
nal revenue lawn, as will afford incidental
protection to domestic manufactures, and
ur. will, without impairing tho revenue,
imposo tho least burden upon and best
promoto and encourage the great indus?
trial interests of tho country.
7th. Iteform of abuses in the administra?
tion, the expulsion ot' corrupt men from
office, tho abrogation of useless offices,
tho restoration of rightful authority to
and the independence of tho executive
and judiciary departments of tho Govern?
ment, the subordination of tho military to
the civil power, to tho end that tho
usurpations of Congress and the dot pot
ism of tho sword may cease.
Sth. Equal rights and protection for
naturalized and native-boin citizens, at
home and abroad; tho assertion of Ameri?
can nationality which shall command tho
respect of foreign poners, and furnish an
example and encouragement to peoplo
struggling for national integrity, consti?
tutional liberty and individual rights; and
the maintenance of the rights ot natural?
ized citizens against tho absoluto doctrino
of immutable allegiance and tho claims of
foreign powers to punish them for alleged
erinn: committed beyond their jurisdic?
tion.
In demanding these measures and re?
forms, we arraign the radical party for its
disregard of right, and tho unparalleled
oppression and tyranny which havo mark?
ed its career. After the most solemn and
unanimous pledge of both Houses of Con?
gress to prosecute the war exclusively for
the maintenance of the Government and
the preservation of tho Union, under the
Constitution, it has repeatedly violated
that most sacred pledge, under which
alono was rallied that noblo volunteer
army, which carried our flag to victory.
Instead of restoring the Union, it has.
so far as is in its power, dissolved it, and
subjected ten States, in times of profound
peaco, to military despotism and negro
supremacy.
It has nullified there tho right of trial
by jury; it has abolished tho habeas cor?
pus, that most sacred writ of liberty; it
has overthrown tho freedom of speech and
tho press; it has substituted arbitrary
seizures and arrests, and military trials
and secret star-chamber inquisitions for
thc constitutional tribunals; it has disre?
garded, in time of peace, tho right of the
peoplo to bo freo from searches and seiz?
ure*; it has entored the post and telegraph
offices, and evon the privato rooms of in?
dividuals, and seized their private papers
and lotter?, without any specific charge or
notice of affidavit, as required by tho or?
ganic law; it has converted tho American
capitol into a bastile; it has established a
system of spies and official cspionago to
which no constitutional monarchy of Eu?
rope would now dare to resort; it has abo?
lished tho right of appeal on important
constitutional questions to tho supremo
judicial tribunals, and threatens to cur?
tail or destroy its original jurisdiction,
which is irrevocably vested by tho Consti?
tution, while tho learned Chief Justice
has been subjected to tho most atrocious
calumnies, morely because ho wonld not
prostitute his high office to tho support of
tho false and partizan charges proferred
against tho President. Its corruption and
extravagance havo exceeded anything
known in history, and by its frauds and
monopolies it has nearly doubled tho bur?
den of the debt created by the war. It has
stripped the President of his constitution?
al power of appointment even of his own
Cabinet. Under its repeated assaults, the
pillars of the Government are rocking on
their base, and should it succeed in No?
vember next, and inaugurate its President,
we will meet, as a subjected and conquered
peoplo, amid tho ruins of liberty and the
scattered fragments of tho Constitution;
and wo do declare and resolve that, ever
since the people of tho United States
threw off all subjection to tho British
crown, the privilego and trust of suffrage
have belonged to the several States, and
havo been granted, regulated and con?
trolled exclusively by tho political power
of caoh State respectively, and that any
attempt hf Cougroaa, on any pretext what?
ever, fo doprlvo any St ato of this right, or
to Interfere with its "exercise, is a flagrant
usurpation of power which dan fled no
warrant in the Constitution; and, if sanc?
tioned by the pooplo, will subvort our form
of Government, and can only end in a
singlo centralized, and consolidated Go
vernment, in which the separate existence
of the States will be entirely absorbed, and
an unqualified despotism be -established
in plaue ui a F?deral Union of co-oqnal
States; and that we regard the reconstruc?
tion Acta (so-called) of Congress as such
are usurpations, and unconstitutional, re?
volutionary, and void; that our soldiers
and sailors, who carried the flag of Our
country io victory against h-tooftt gallant
and determined foe, must ever foe grate?
fully remembered, and all the guarantees
given in tboir favor muet be faithfully car?
ried into elocution.
That tho publio landa should bo distri?
buted aa widely as possible among tho
pooplo. and should bo disposed of either
under th? pre-emption of homestead lands,
and sold in reasonable quantities, and to
none but actual occupants, at tho mini?
mum price established by the Government.
When grants of tho publio lands may be
allowed, necessary for tho encouragement
of important publie improvements, tho
proceeds of tho Salo of such lands, and not
the lands themselves, should bo so ap?
plied.
That tho President of tho United States,
Andrew Johnson, in exercising tho power
of his high office in resisting the aggrea
aiona of Congrees upon tho constitutional
rights of the Stiles and ibo people, 1B en?
titled to the gratitude of the whole Am cri
can people, and in behalf of tho Democra?
tic party, wo tender him our thanks for bia
patriotic efforts in that regard.
Upon this platform, the Democratic
party appeal to every patriot, including all
tho conaervativo element and all who de?
sire to support tho Constitution and re
etoro the Union, forgetting all past differ?
ences of opinion, to unite with ns in the
preaent great struggle for tho liberties of
thc pecpie; and that to all auch, to what?
ever party they may have heretofore be?
longed, wo extend the right hand of fel?
lowship, and hail all such co-operating
with ua SB frienda and brethren.
