BY M?S. 8. A. WF.tR?. I. "And so, sir, that is your deci? sion?" "Honor, father, forbids any other." "Do yon mean to say, sir, that you are engaged to the girl?" "Not exactly. I await her deci? sion." "Then you've proposed?" ::I have, sir.'' "And you are resolved to marry Miss Cameron, and not Miss Dash? wood?" "If Miss Cameron will^ocept me." "Very well, sir-very weill This is your gratitude-this your filial duty, yon self-willed, ungrateful dog, in return for the trouble I've had with voa-th? efforts I've made to secure for yon the beet match in the coun? try. Here is a fine, handsome, dash? ing young woman, rich and belong? ing to one of the first families of the country, whom you throw aside for the sake of a pale-faced ohit of a clergyman's daughter--*\ "Father!" "Don't father me, air-don't in? terrupt rae-don't speak to me again! Get out of my sight! but remem? ber! the day on which you marry Lena Cameron you will cease to be a son of mine. I'll disown you, I'll disinherit you, sir, and leavo all I have to the new Orphan Asylum. Such was the scene enacting in 'Squire Chester's parlor-a scene fre? quently presented upon the stage to sympathizing and delighted crowds -an irate father, portly, red-faced and loud-voiced, with hands beneath coat-tails, a la Pickwiok, and eyes glaring wrathfully through gold-rim? med' spectacles upon handsome and undutiful son, bent upon wedding thc object of his soul's idolatry against irate father's wishes. Yet in this in? stance it was no mere acting, but on the part of each serious and resolute earliest. To add to the dramatic effect, at the moment in which the squire's last words were spoken, a fair, deli? cate-looking girl, who was about en? tering the room, catching tho sound of the angry voice, paused an instant, with her hand on the door-knob, ae if hesitating Whether to enter. And thus it happened that she heard hoi own hame coupled . with the threat already mentioned. She turned then, and glided swiftly up the stairs to her own ropm, Locking the door, she throw horse! on a couch, and, burying her face ir the pillows, remained a long time quite motionless. She did not weep, but when she at length arose, bei face was very, very pale, and hei sweet blue eyes had a haggard lool of suffering, painful to witness in one so young. Seating herself at a table, she drev toward her a writing-desk, and wroti as follows: "DEAB COUSIN PHILIP: Since ou interview of yesterday, I hav< thought tho matter over, and com? to the conclusion that it will be bes that we should not marry. Do no blame me-do not question me even. I have reasons whioh Icauno explain; but .oct as I think will bi best for us both. ' LENA." "Where is Miss Cameron?" ques tion Philip of the servant who hand . ed him the note. "Gone over to Elmwood, sir, t< her, aunt, Mrs. Pago. I heard hei say she should stay there until he roturn to the city in a few days." An hour after, Philip Chester wa on his way to Elmwood. The patl was lonely, leading through a seques terod wood, and he was consequent! a little surprised when, at an abrup turning, he came suddenly face V face with a young lady-very tall very handsome, and attired in a rio riding-habit and floating plume Philip lifted his hat respectfully and would have passed on, but th lady pausod full iu the path befox him. "Excuse me-you are Mr. Ph il i Chester?" Ho bowed. "And I am Josephine Dashwood. In bia surprise, he scarcely koo what to say. "I did not know was not aware of Miss Dashwood being in the neighborhood." "I dare say not. You wero e? peoting, perhaps, you and yoi honored father, to behold me for tl first time at the residence of my r< spooted nnolo and guardian, Simeo Walker, Esquire. But you see I wi too anxious to wait, so I conclude to run down for a dav or two to Els wood, on the strength of Mrs. Paf being an old friend of my mothe I wanted to see you. Mr. Chester." "You .do me honor," said Phili] --_"--?Pffij7--- ^-! puzzled in what manner to treat thu) frank avowal. Tho young lady meanwhile carelessly played with hor horse's mane. ?' %r^(La '.I am glad of this accidental meet? ing," she resumed, "for I was just thinking how it would he possible to oftain a private interview. Philip stared. "I believe," continued she, coolly, "that there has been some arrange? ment made concerning us by those two old-I"'mean, by your much honored father and my highly-respec? table ?nele-a little matrimonial scheme, if I am not mistaken. Very kind of them, doubtless, though it might have been kinder to have left us to choose for ourselves, and bo happy iu our own way." A faint gleam of hope begun to dawn oh Philip. "I want to tell you a secret, Mr. Chester. May I trust you?" "If you will do mo the honor," be replied, still coldly. "Ah, I seo you don't like nie; but you will after a while. This, then, is my secjret. I am in love-pray don't ho alarmed-not with you." "Thank you!" said he, almost in? voluntarily. "With a very handsome, very olever, very worthy and deserving young man," resumed Miss Dash? wood, With unmoved seriousness "but poor. And you are in love with one equally perfect, but suffering under the samo stigma." She looked at him seriously now, with her dark eyes, and he met the gaze frankly. "Now we understand each other," she said, resuming her former tone and manner; "and now we can act as seems best to us under the circum? stances. I want to rebel openly against those two old fogies-I beg their pardons-those wise and vener? able old gentlemen ; but we can ma? nn go quietly to circumvent them, and have our own way-can't we?" "Perhaps you have formed some plan to that effect?" said Philip, half amused and half interested. "You shall hear," she answered. "I am told that your dear, delightful father admires 'dashing' ladies; wants a dashing daughter-in-law and mis? tress of the establishment. You and he will dino to-morrow at Elmwood Dc sure not to disappoint Mrs. Page, who knows all about it, and takes a tender and motherly interest in the affair. We will see whether the old gentleman is satisfied with his chosen daughter-in-law. But, whatever oc? curs, you role, remember, it is to be perfectly charmed. Will you accept your part, Mr. Chester? Half laughing, half wondering, ho agreed. And so they rode on together through the shadowy wood-path; Philip Chester liking his companion far better than ho had previously thought possible of Miss Dashwood. II. Scone second, act first, transports us to tho drawing-room, where sat that good lady, in all tho formal dig? nity of u country dinner-dress, en? deavoring to entertain some half dozen guests, of whom 'Squire Ches? ter was one. Seated near an open window, he was anxiously awaiting the appearance of Miss Dashwood, with a vague hope as to tho effect which might be thoreby produced upon his undutiful sou. That self willed young man louugod near, cheerfully conversing with a lady, while Lena Cameron, very pale and quiet, was bending over a bit of em? broidery, with finders that trembled a little, aud eyes that were rarely up? lifted. Suddenly, tho sharp notes of a bu? gle pierced the ears of tho assembled company. "There is Joe!" said Mrs. Page. "I am glad that she is como, as now wo can have dinner." "Joe?" doubtfully inquired ono of the lady guests. The squire looked from tho win? dow, as invited, and beheld a figure in a man's hat aud coat, as bethought, and a woman's skirt, dashing full speed up the avenue toward thc house, with half a dozen dogs accompany? ing. Springing unassisted to tho ground, she proceeded to unloosen the saddlo and throw it upon the ground; then walked several times round the horse, evidently examining into his condition, and discussing the Bauio with tho groom, who had now appeared. If 'Squire Chester regarded this unexpected appearance of his son's chosen wife with any emotion ol surprise or disappointment, he, at least, did not express it. On the oontrary, he bowed and shook hands with true old-school gallantry and oourtesy, as that young lady present? ly entered the room, followed by two of the dogs aforesaid, to whom she whistled an encouragement to enter. "Oh, my dear, the dogs I" remon? strated Mrs. Page, piteously. "Wi are not accustomed to having them in tho drawing-room." "Dear me! not have dawgs in th? drawing-room I Why, I have min? with me everywhere, and all over th? houso. Couldn't do without them, 1 doolare. Like dawgs, sir?" she in ?[uirod, with a pretty drawl, of hei utnre father-in-law. "Vory much-in their propel place." the old gentleman felt cos strained to say To which Mi? Dashwood replied by a just percept! ble shrug of her graceful shoulders and then they went in to dinner. .1 "No turkey, thank you," said she, "I never take fowl-it's only fit for invalida and babies; so insipid. I'll take some ronst beef-rare, if you pleaee-^-thOugh I prefer steak and onions." And besprinkling the gory slice with an abundanco of cayenne sauce, Miss Dashwood commenced her repast, whilo the squiro turned away his eyes, meeting those of Lena Cameron, his wife's niece, who bad been regarding these proceedings of the "dashing" young lady, with an expression akin to horror, Poor child, sho wasn't in the secret. But the squiro thought, as ho looked at her, how very delicate, and refined, and lady-like, sho appeared. Miss Dashwood declined sherry, but accepted a little port instead though expressing a preference for French brandy and water. It wns quito the "styie" now, sho asserted, for ladies to prefer brandy. Indeed, somo even professod a partiality for Bourbon, though she herself con? sidered it inferior to brandy iu point of taste nud real refreshment; and 'Squire Chester felt provoked at the assiduity with which his son re-filled tho young lady's glass, and listened admiringly to all she said. "Give us some music, Joe," said Mrs. Page, wheu they were again in the drawing-room. And the squiro, who was devoted to musio, looked up and brightened. It was one of his favorite anticipations, that of his son's wife playing to him, and sooth? ing him in his after-dinner hours with tho melodies he loved. And now be came up to the piauo and stood expectant. Miss Dashwood played a rattling prelude, and then suddenly broke into a bravura, which caused one old lady to vacate her seat near the in? strument. The squire, undaunted, kept his post, until a hunter's song, with all the accompaniment of "horn, hound, and rider-halloo," overcame even his courtesy, and be, too, re? treated. "Now, Lena, one of your favorite songs," said her aunt, quietly; and tho girl sat down, and in a sweet, low, and somewhat plaintive voice, sang "Bonnie Doon" and "Annie Laurie." "That is the music that I like," remarked 'Squire Cheater to his host? ess, sollo voce. "Those charming old .songs aro worth all tho modern fal? derals that have over been written." And ho looked thoughtfully at Miss Dashwood, aud then at Miss Came? ron. Likewise, ho hearkened to the discourse now going on between the former nud his son. "I do so doat on horses," observed the young lady. "I couldn't bo hap? py, under any circumstances, without at least two of my own-a rider and a hunter. I delight iu hunting, wher? ever it is to bo had, and generally, on that account, pass my summers ainou? the mountains, though deei aro becoming very scarce, and wood? cock almost as much so. I wish wc had fox-hunting here, ns in England, I prefer uovels in which fox-hunting comes in-'Guy Livingston,' for in stance. What a splendid fellow ht was! and what a hum-drum country is ours, where there is hardly any? thing to amuse one, excopt tho thea? tres. If I had my own way, I should bo an actress. I've always had ai inclination for tho stage, and really think I should make a good actress Don't you think so, Mr. Chester?" "Capital!" responded that youuf mau, with emphasis, and a pleased half-amused, half-earnest look, whicl didn't escapo his watchful sire though ho might not understand it. "He's a ninny!" was the menta reflection of tho latter. "What sor of a wife would such a woman ninke?' was bis-rrext involuntary thought until ib suddenly occurred to him with something like a shock, tba this was really, after all, the womal he had chosen for his son's wife, fo his daughter-in-law, for the mistresi of his house and household. Ant agnin ho looked atLena-very kindb this time. "You must see my Beelzebub," re sumed Miss Dashwood, euthusinsti cally. "Such a charming creature full of spirit, yet so tractable and af fectionate, that I assure you, sir,' addressing tho squire, "he'll wall into tho breakfast-room and drinl out of your coffee-cup at table." This assurance appeared to havi no particular charm for 'Squire Ches ter, for ho turned away with vory lit tie ceremony. Miss Dashwood wen up stuirs on some errand, and the; hoard her whistling as she crossei the hall. "Philip," whispered the squire "I think we'd better bo going." "Not yet, sir. Miss Dashwood i about to show me ber new pistols and then she will teach me a nm game with cards, and afterward we're to go to tho stables." "Togo where?" "To the stables, sir, to look at th horses." Tho squire cast on bim a look c concentrated indignation. "Is that-is Miss Dashwood, o Joe, or whatever she is called, a mai or a woman?" "The latter, I presume, sir. It i the fashion uow-a-days, you know for dashing young women} like hoi to adopt a masculine style in genera It sits well on Miss" joe-don't yo think so, sir?" "Miss Joe be --." The old gei tlomnn recollected himself in timi but he had seen enough of the dasi ing Miss Josephine, bia old friend Simeon Walker's niece, and very moody was he aa he rode homeward thai night. "Philip," said he," a day o*, two after, "I don't seo tho use of your going to Elmwood so of ten,now that Miss Dashwood is thero." "Why not, sir? I thought you would like it." "Tho truth is, I'm disappointed in Miss Dashwood. I caa't approve of such a woman ns a wife for any man save a horse-dealer or a circus-rider. Especially, should I not approve of her as the mistress of this house. I have no desire to seo my drawing room turned into a dog-kennel, or to havo horses walking in and drink? ing out of ni}' coffee-cup. lu fact," said-tho squire, waxing warm, "I won't have my futuro <iuughter-in-1 law going about the boase whistling, and odorous of brandy and cigars, too, I shouldn't wonder. I heard her say it was the fashion. Ugh!" Philip was satisfied; tho more so when, ?i week later, his father ob? served that littlo Lena would make as good a wife for him as any lie could get. The wedding took place within six months. Miss Dashwood, herself a happy bride, wos present, and tho squire wondered exceedingly at the great change and improvement wrought in her by tho influence of marriage.-IVexo York Sunday Times.

In demanding theso measures and re? forms, wo arraign the radical party for its disregard of right, and the unparalleled oppression and tyranny whioh have mark? ed its career. After tho moat solemn and unanimous plodgo of both Ho uses oi Con? gress to prosecute the war exclusively for tho maintenance of the Government an? the preservation of the Union, under tho Constitution, it has repeatedly violated that moat sacred pledge, under which alone was rallied that noble volunteer army, which carried our flag tc victory. ----a- wnaaMaaauaMMnm Intdoad of restoring the Union, it ha?, I BO far as is in its power, dissolved it. and I subjaoted ten Status, in tlnu?g nf profound peace, to military despotism and negro supremacy. It bis nullified tbero tho right of trial by jury; it bas abolished the habeas cor? pus, that most sacred writ of liberty; it has ovorthrown tho freedom of speech and I the press; it has substituted arbitrary ; seizures and arrests, and military trials and secret star-chamber inquisitions for the constitutional tribunals; it has disre? garded, in time of peace, tho right of the people to be freo from searches and geiz ure?; it has entered tho pout and telegraph offices, and oven the pnvato rooms of in? dividuals, ara seized their private papers and letters, without any spocific charge or notico of affidavit, as required by tho or? ganic law; it has converted tho American capitol into a baatile; it has established a system of spica and official espionage to which no constitutional monarchy ot En? ro?o would now tiaro to resort; it has abo? lished tho right of appeal on important constitutional qncstioiis to tho supremo jurii-dal tribunals, and threatens to cur? tail or destroy its original jurisdiction, which is irrevocably vested by tho Consti? tution, while tho learned Ch lot Justice has been subjected to the most atrocious calumnies, merely because he would not prostitute his high office td tho support of the false and partfzan charges preferred against the President, lix corruption and extravagance have exceeded anything known in history, and by it? frauds and monopolies it lias nearly doubled tho bur? den of the debt cleated by the war. It has stripped tho President of his constitution? al power of appointment even of his own Cabinet. Under its repeated assaults, tho pillars of tho Government aro rocking on their baso, and should it succeed in No? vember next, and inaugurate its President, wo will meet, as a subjected and conquered people, amid tho ruins of liberty and the scattered fragments of tho Constitution; and we do declare and resolve that, over since tho people of tho United States throw off all subjection to tho British ' crown, the privilege and trust of suffrage have belonged to the several States, and have been granted, regulated and con? trolled exclusively by tho political power of each State respectively, and that any attempt by Congress, on any pretext what? ever, to deprive any State of this right, or 1 to interfere with its exercise, is a flagrant usurpation of power which can find no warrant in the Constitution; and, if sanc I t inned by tho people, will subvert our form of Government, and can only end in a single centralized and consolidated Go? vernment, in which tho separate existenco of the States will bo entirely absorbed, and an unqualified despotism bo established in place of a Federal Union of co-equal States; and that wo regard tho reconstruc? tion Acts (so-called) of Congress as such aro usurpations, and unconstitutional, re? volutionary, and void; that our soldiers and sailors, who carried the llag of our country to victory against a most gallant and determined foe, must ever be grate lully remembered, and all tho puarantecs given in their favor must be faithfully car? ried into execution. That tho public lands should bo distri? buted as widely as possible among tho people, and should bo disposed of either under the pre-emption of homestead lands, and sold in reasonable quantities, and to nono but actual occupants, at tho mini? um in price established ny the Government. When grants of the public lands may bo allowed, necessary for the encouragement of important public improvements, tho proceeds <A thc salo of such lands, and not tho lam. > themselves, should bo so ap? plied. That tho President of thc United States, Andrew Johnson, in exercising the power of his hir.h office in resisting tho aggres? sions of Congress upon tho constitutional rights cf the States and the people, is en? titled to tho gratitude of tho whole Ameri can people, and in behalf of the Democra? tic party, wo fonder him our thaukB for his patriotic efforts in that regard. Upon thia platform, thc Democratic party appeal to every patriot, including all tho conservativo element and all who de? sire to support the Constitution and re? store tho Union, forgetting all past differ? ences of opinion, to unite with us in thc present great struggle for the liberties of tho people; and that to all such, to what? ever party they may have heretofore be? longed, we extend tho right hand of fel lowship, and hail all such co-operating with us as friends and brethren.
