Nan and Eve, lived together nt
Appledecombe. This ia not a very
respeotful way to speak of them,
because, vmile Nan was but a girl,
Eve was/a married w?man an 1 her
mother; but then she was so young,
so absurdly young, to be the mother
of a grown-up daughter like Nan,
that it seems more natural to call
her so, thuu by her pretty and rather
romantic appellation of Mrs. Ashley.
And should it be objected that Nan
is too obviously put into the more
honorable position, I can only plead
that Nan- was by far the more im?
portant. "Why look at their lives.
Eva. had married, while still but a
child-a very pretty half-grown up
child; sho bud then had Nan, and
her husband bad died; after whioh,
as to nil change, all excitement in her
-existence, there was written up
against it the word Finis. She was
very sweet, very graoious, and the
country all around loved and cherish?
ed her as something of a gem; but it
had come to be an understood thing
that the story of her life had been
4old, and she was now only living for
Nan. But a woman can be quite as
loveable, and very often a great deal
more useful, when the story of her
life has been told, and she has leisure
to devote herself to others; and Eve
was, with many, to the full as popu?
lar as her little daughter. Truth to
say. she was utterly unselfish, sym?
pathetic by nature, and very fair to
look upon. It was so delightful to
talk to Eve, said the girls, whilst
giving her a minute account of their
last fanoy fair, because she knew all
about it; Eve, who had walked from
the school-room to the church, and
had entered into woman's estate,
without ever having once shared in
their pleasures. And the men, all
the young men from the village,
poured into her ears full accounts of
their latest love affairs, and gathered
from her sympathy that she well
understood from experience; Eve,
the course of whose lovo had run
smoothly up to tho last sad ending,
and who was innocent as a very child
of the endless little channels through
which it may flow.
Much more so, indeed, than hoi
own child, who was gaining a verj
fair knowledge of the troubles and
pleasures of that passion, upon thc
axis of which it is said the world thal
we live in turns round. For, thougl
Nan was guarded like a hot-house
flower, and held sacred as a link be
tween tho living and dead, Eve coule
not entirely shield her from a greal
many evils she brought on herself,
By no rule that applied to other girls
could you read Nan. She would saj
one thing, mean another, and expect
that her thoughts should be divined
She would sit and sparkle at her mo
ther all her little qnaint sayings at
evening through; then an organ ii
the street, touching, in some dreary
old tune, one of Nan's most delicate
chords, she would burst out crying
where she sat, and when mother
alarmed, astonished, pained, woulc
take her in her arms. to comfort ant
consols, the room ifould bc ringi?{
with laughter, before the girl's tean
were dry on her cheeks.
"Can't help it, mamma,"she woult
say, "I go up ?nd donn as if all rn;
insides were made of elastic Om
moment I am down in tho depths
and the next some absurd sprint
insidj me goes up, and it seems s<
ridiculous for me to be sitting howl
ing on tho floor about nothing, an?
. you look at me with such a long faoe
..that I am obliged to laugh."
Which, for one of Nan's state
menta, waa unusually correct. 3
there had only prizes been given fo
laughter and tears, how many c
both Nan would have gained in
year.
Only it will be seen that she was i
some sort an anxiety to her mothei
even while Eve believed there wc
not, among girls, her equal in th
world. Her whole heart was wraj
ped np in her child, except sue
portion of it as was buried in th
waters with her husband., an At!
ono groat triumph, of her life was
Nan's first ball.
On that eventful night, it was diffi?
cult to aay whether Bhu or her daugh?
ter was tho moro excited. She would
let hp one but herself pat tho finish?
ing touches to Nan's fretih toilette,
and old-fashioned jewels that had
belonged to a bride, now 'sparkled
and shone on tho girl's fair neck.
Bat what would any of Nan'? pubse
quont admirers (putting out of tho
question those who might possibly
be artista) have thought of Ihe
piquant little belle of an evening,
could they bnt have seen the picture
before she started for her ball. A
bed-room fitted up like a boudoir,
and hung round with glasses. A girl
standing up straight from among a
feathery mass of whiteness, long
glistening lines of drapery falling
from, ana lying bright beside her on
the ground, and a figure scarcely
less pretty kneeling in a half-dressed
condition, and fastening on her skirt
hobhouse flowers.
"?au, herself, looks not uulike a
flower, with blue eyes, and her lips
and cheeks stained into color; but
she still requires to bo looked at
artistically, else you might see that
the blue eyes are flashing light
and the red cheeks blazing with im?
patience.
"But seo, dear; now look yourself,
Nan. It is exactly six inches wide;
you couldn't have ono broader t.bnn
that."
.'What does it matter if it's six or
sixteen^' retorts Nan, "if it isn't
broad enough? It's no use, mamma,
if Jane can't go out in the villago and
get me another, I won't wear a sash
at all."
"But your dress looks so unfinish?
ed, dear, without."
"Yes, I know that, of course," said
Nan, quite unmoved, "but if it's to
be a question of looking unfinished,
or wearing that," ('that'was of course
tho sash hold up high in the air,)
"all I can say is, it'll have to look
unfinished."
"Now, Nan, dear, don't be so im?
petuous."
"I'm not in tho least impetuous,"
said Nan, who, whilo she declined
advice and rejected hints, always
denied accusations, "only nothing
on earth, you know, mamma, would
make me go to a ball, with a-"
And so on, in fact, da capo, ring?
ing the changes. But Eve forgot all
that was not gracious in Nan, when,
with her own heart beating painfully,
she chaperoned her through the
open door of the ball-room, and
found there no face that was sweeter
than one that had inherited the
beauty of the dead. And Evo herself
had never looked moro like the girl
young Ashley had chosen, and who
had been so admired when he had
taken her with him half over the
world.
That evening was a thorough suc?
cess for Nan, but Eve, even while Bhe
gloried in it, yet trembled for results.
She had ensconsed herself close to a
window, where she could always seo
tho well known puffing of Nan's
dress, and where she could oven
catch littlo wafts of her talk, as the
revolving dances brought her round
that way.
Nan had a knack for saying the
most unflattering things; with her
caressing voice, and all the dimples
in her face, contradicting thom flatly,
so that no compliment could be so
delicious as Nan's littlo quaint at?
tempt to set people down, and thc
descent was for them easy, whilo thc
blue eyes softened the sentence, and
tho very mouth laughed at its rude?
ness. But all this, though pleasan!
enough, and a sort of intoxication tc
Cavendish, a young war-office swell,
now swinging round with Nan, anc
inwardly vowing she was "tho nices!
girl out," was a considerable sonrcf
of uneasiness to Eve, whoso dislike
to tho old idea of tho moth and th<
candi? was constitutional, and whe
took no pleasuro in watching an]
game, where, as well as a spider, i
fly is also requisite.
"This is our dance, Miss Ashley."
This moth was known among lui
follows by tho name of Popham, am
for him to havo been scorched wouh
have been deemed serious.
"The next, you will remember
Miss Ashley, is mine."
So spoke young Cavendish, wholh
ignoring the existence of a rival.
"If you will look at your card
Miss Ashley."
"How foolish," said Nan, balunc
ing on ono foot, to tho great amuse
mont of a would-bo olaimant belum
her, and with all the dimples in he
face in her full play. "Well, yoi
must settle, you know; it can't possi
bly signify to me."
"I do not hold any lady to au on
gagement which she does not hersel
endorse."
So said young Cavendish, mngnitl
cently choice in his words, sittin?
disconsolately down by Eve.
"Then the dance is mino," say
Popham, and Nan fired a Parthia:
shot.
Mamma, this is Mr. Cavendish
and ho is quite nice if you talk t
him of horses, I don't think he cars
much about anything else. "
Cavendish smiled a littlo sulkilj
and Eve, rather shocked, hasteno
to apologise. And thus it fell oe
that two people very much interest
ed in Nan, were first made acquaint
ed.
"It was not at all fair, yon know,
sayn Cavendish, addressing Eve, an
????????a*a??a?aa???????W??a?aMW??^M
quite ready to talk when tho subject
was - Nan and the Listener was the
p retty-looking young mother. ' 'That's
the third time this evening Miss
Ashley has done the same thing."
"It's only her way, Mr. ?ay?jii?
dish;? "terned Erv, ? ?itL?u absently,
with her /ayes somewhat ont in the
distance, and her pretty lips set
tog?ther firmly. She did not like
the look pf that Mr. Popham, and
she did not much fancy Nan's father
wonld have done so either, and that
was, with Eve, the safest of all stand?
ards.
"Ian?.so glad to know you, Mrs.
Ashley," yoting Cavendish goes on,
"your daughter and I aro very old
acqaintancos."
And Eve came back from a some?
what long journey into the future,
with all a mother's quick instinct of
danger pricking round her heart.
"Oh-I did not know."
"You don't remember me," says
Cavendish, blushing like a girl. I've
been away, such a time, hut one of
my earliest recollections is your
daughter. I danced with her at a
children's ball, eleven years ago, in
this very bouse. I remember her
perfectly. She had on a white frock
and black, ribbons. Now, had she
not, Mrs. Ashley?"
Eve smiled. He was quite right,
and she liked him for remembering.
At the time of which ho spoke, Nan
was in mourning for her father, but
Eve mado it slight, because her child
was such a baby, and had dressed her
in a white frock, and put on her a
black sash, (as to one whoso width
there had been no question,) and
sewn black bows on her little short
sleeves, and passed a black ribbon
through her gold-brown hair. And
now it appeared tho little picture was
vivid to another as well as to herself.
Nan floating towards them, Popham
in tho back-ground.
"Mamma, I don't at all suppose
it's true-don't you move, Mr.
Cavendish-but we've just been told
there isn't a carriage to bo had, and
if it's a question of walking homo, we
shall havo to start before supper."
This was the time for Cavendish.
"My dog cart is put up round tho
corner, not ten minutes from here.
Mrs. Ashley, will you do me tho un?
speakable favor of allowing me to
drive you home?" And thus, though
Popham took her in to supper,
Cavendish drove Nan home at night.

th; :::t:ll:gv>i?o, patriotism and discrimi?
nating Justice of the people-standing
upon the Constitution aB the foundation
and limitation of the powers of tho Go?
vernment, and the guarantee of tho liber?

questions of slavory and secession as
having boen settled, fdr all timo to come,
by tho war, or tho voluntary action of the
Southern States, in Constitutional Con?
ventions assembled, and never to bo re?
newed or re-agitated, do, with tho return
of peace, demand:
1st. Immediate restoration of all tho
States to their rights in the Union, undor
tho Constitution, and of civil government
tb tho American people.
2d. Amnesty for all past political
offences, and tho regulation of the electivo
franchitti in tho States by their citizens.
3d. Payment of tho public debt of tho
United ?States as rapidly as practicable;
all monevB drawn from the people by tax?
ation, except so much as is requisite for
the nccoesitioB of tho Government, econo?
mically administered, being honestly ap?
plied to such payment; and, where* tho
obligations of tho Government de not
expressly stato upon their faco, or tho
law under which they were iseued does
not pr?vido that they shall bo paid in

be paid in the lawful money of the United

4th. Equal taxation of every species ol

cluding Government bonds and other pub?
lic securities.
5tb. One currency for tho Government
and tho people, tho laborer and the office?

Otb. Economy in tho administration of
the Govornment; the reduction of tho
standing army and navy; tho abolition of
tho Freedmen's .Bureau, and all political
instrumentalities designed to secure
negro supremacy; simplification of tho
system and discontinuance of inquisitori?
al modes of assessing and collecting inter?
nal revenue, so that tho bnrden of taxa?
tion may bo equalized and lessoned, tho
credit of tho Government and tho curren?
cy made good; tho repeal of all enact?
ments for enrolling tho State militia into
national forces in time of peace; and a
tariff for rovonuo upon foreign imports,
and such equal tax.st i on, under tho inter?
nal revenue laws, as will afford incidental
protection to domestic manufactures, and
as will, without impairing the revenue,
impose thc least burden upon and best
promote and encourage tho great indus?
trial interests of the country.
7th. Reform of abuses in the administra?
tion, tho expulsion of corrupt men from
office, tho abrogation of useless offices,
tho restoration of rightful authority to
and tho independence of tho executive
and Judiciary departments of thc Govern?
ment, the subordination of the mint arv to
tho civil power, to tho end that tho
usurpations of Congress and the despot?
ism of the sword may cease.
8th. Equal rights and protection for
naturalized and nativc-boin citizens, at
home and abroad: the assertion of Ameri?
can nationality which shall command tho
respect of foreign powers, 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 absolute doctrine
of immutable allegiance and thc claims ol
foreign powers to punish them for alleged
crimo committed beyond their jurisdic?
tion.
In demanding these measures and re?
forms, wo arraign tho radical party for its
disregard of right, and tho unparalleled
oppression and tyranny which have mark?
ed its career. After thc most BOlomn and
unanimous pledge of both Houses of Con?
gress to prosecute the war exclusively foi
tho maintenance of tho Government and
tho preservation of tho Union, under thc
Constitution, it has repeatedly violate?
that moat sacred pledge, under whicl
alone waa rallied that noble voluntcei
army, which carried our Hag to victory.
Inatcad of restoring the Union, it baa
BO far aa is in its power, diaaolved it, am
subjected ten Blatas, in times of profound
peaco, to military despotism and nogr<
aupremacy.
lt baa nullified thero tho right of tria
by jury; it has abolished tho habeas cor
pus, that moat sacred writ of liberty; i
baa overthrown the freedom of speech an?
tho proas; it baa substituted arbitrar;
seizures and arrests, aud military trial
and secret star-chamber inquisitions fo
tho constitutional tribunals; it bas diare
garded, in time of peaco, thc right of th
peoplo to bo freo from searches and seiz
ure?; it has entered tho post and telegrapl
offices, and even tho privato rooms of in
dividuala, and seized their private paper
and letters, without any sp?cifie charge o
notier of affidavit, aa required by tho oi
ganic law; it Ima converted the America:
capitol into a baatile; it baa established ;
system of spies and official espionago t
which no constitutional monarchy of Eu
rope would now daro to resort; it has abc
lialied tho right of appeal on importan
constitutional questions to thc auprcm
judicial tribunals, and tbrcatcna to cm
tail or dostroy ita original jurisdictioi
which is irrevocably vested by tho Consti
tnt ion, while tho learned Chief Justit
has been subjected to tho moat atrociou
calumnies, merely bocauao ho would nt
prostitute his high ?frico to tho support <
ibo false and partisan chargea pretcrre
against tho President. Its corruption an
extravagance Lavo execedod anytbin
known in history, and by ita frauda an
monopolies it baa nearly doubled tho bu
den of tho debt created by tho war. It h?
stripped tho President of hisoonatitutioi
al powor of appointment even of bia ow
Cabinet. Under its repeated aaaaultB, tl
pillara of tho Government aro rocking c
their baae, and should it succeed in Ni
vember next, and inaugurate its l'roaidon
wo will meet, as a subjected and conquere
peoplo, amid tho ruins of liberty and tl
scattered fragments of the Conatitutioi
and wo do declaro and roaolvo that, ov<
aince tho peoplo of tho United Stab
throw off all subjection to tho Britil
crown, the privilege and trust of auffraf
have belonged to tho several States, ai
have been granted, regulated and coi
trolled exclneivoly by tho political powi
of each State respectively, and that ai
attempt by Congress, on any pretext wha
over, to deprive any Stato of this right, i
to interfere with its exorcise, is a flagrai
usurpation of power which can lind i
warrant in tho Constitution; and, if san
tioned by tho peoplo, will subvert our for
of Government, and can only end in
single centralized and consolidated G
vernmcnt, in which tho separate existen
of the States will bo entirely absorbed,ai
an unqualified despotism bo establish!
in place of a Federal Union of co-oqu
States; and that wo regard thc reconstru
tion Acta (ao-called) of Congress aa sui
are usurpations, ?nd unconstitutional, i
volntionary, and void; that our soldi*
and safiorfe. who carried the flag of o
\ country to victory against a most galla
and determined foe, must ever be graf
fully remembered, ?nd.all tho guarantees
given in ?heir favor must be faithfully car?
ried into execution.
That tho public lands should be distri?
buted as widely as possible among the
people, and should be disposed ot ?Uber
Ur.du?; vijo prtj- emption of homestead landa,
and sold in reasonable rm antHiec, r.r.d, to
none but actual occupante, at tho mini?
mum price established by the Government.
When grants of the public lands may bo
allowed, necessary for the encouragement
of important publie improvements, the
proceeds of tho salo of such lands, and not
the lands themselves, should be so ap?
plied.
That the President of the United States,
Andrew Johnson, m exercising tho power
of his high offic? in resisting the aggres?
sions of Congress upon tho constitutional
rights of the States and tho peoplo, is en?
titled to tho gratitudo of tho wholo ?mori
can peoplo, and in behalf of tho Democra?
tic party, wo tonderliim our thanks for his
patriotic efforts in that regard.
Upon this platform, tho Democratic
party appeal to ovcry patriot, including all
tho conservativo element and all who dc
eiro to support tho Constitution and rc
otoro tho Union, forgetting all past differ?
ences of opinion, to unite with ns in the
present groat struggle for tho liberties of
tho people; and that to all such, to what?
ever party they may have horctoforo bo
