The Song otrthe Camp.
A cmm-:.\.\’ 1.\'cxm:_\"r—nx n.\v.um 1‘.n‘I.0R.
“Give us :1 Song!” the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns of the ramps allied
Grew weary of bombarding.‘
The dark Redun, in silent scoff,
Lay, grim and threatening under ;
And the tawny mound of the llinlakotl
No longer belched its thunder.
There was a pause. The guardsmnn said
“ We storm the forts to-marrow ;
Sing while we may, another day
Will bring enough of sorrow.”
Then lny along the bnttery’s side,
Below the smoking cannon-
Brave hearts from Severn and from Clyde,
And from the banks of Shannon. -
They sang of love, and not of fame
Forgot was Britain’s glory ; _
Each heart. ’l'r‘0(!II€tl a difliercnl namr,
Ilut all sang “ Annie Laurie.”
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion '
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong-
Their battle-cve confession.
Dear girl, her name be dated not speak,
Yet, as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldier’s cheek
Washed off the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunsct’s embers,
While the Crimean vallies learned
How I-English love remembers. '0 ‘._.
And once again a. Bra of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters,
With scream of shot and burst of shell,
And bellowing of the morta'rs.
And Irish N01-a’s.eyes are dim
For I singer, dumb and gory ;
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang for “Annie Laurie."
Ah, soldiers l to your honored rest
Your truth and valor bearing ;
The bravest are the teuderest——
The loving are the daring.

I've a guinea I can spend,
l‘vc :2. wife and I've a friend ;
And a troop of little children at my knee, John Brown.
I’vc a cottage of my own,
With the ivy overgrown.
And a garden with a view of the sea, John Brown ;
I can sit at my door,
By my shady sycamore,
Large of heart, though of very smnllestate John Brown
So come and drain a. glass
In my arbor as you pass,
And I’ll tell you whatl love and what I hate, John
Brown.
I love the song of birds.
And the children's early words,
And a loving womau’s voice, low and sweet, John
Brown ;
And I hate a false pretense,
And the want. of common sense,
And arrogance, and fawning, and deceit, John Brown.
I love the meadow flowers,
And the b.ri::r in the bowers,
.\nd I love an Open face without guile, John Brown ;
And I hate a selfish knave,
And a proud, contented slave,
And a lout who‘d rather borrow than ht-’d toll. John
Brown. ‘
I love :1 simple song
'I‘hat wakes emotions Strong,
And the word nf hopes that raises him who fniuts, John
Brown ;
And I hate the constant whine
or the foolish who repine,
And turn their good to evil by complaints, John Brown,
But ever when I hate, I
If I seek my garden gate,
And sur\ ey the world around me, and above, John
Ilrm-. n,
The hatred flies my mind,
And I sigh for human kind,
And excuse the faults ofthosc I cannot love,John Brown.
So, if you like my ways,
And the comfort of my days,
I will tell you how I live so unvcx’d, John Brown;
I never scorn my health,
Nor sell‘ my soul for wealth,
Nor destroy one day the pleasures of the next, John

3%“ Profanity is either the height of
folly or madness. The Being whose name
is thus used with irreverence either does
or does not exist. If He does not, then
certainly it is a piece Of utter folly to be
swearing by a noneutity. E. g.—-A man
is greatly in carnest——-he wishes to give
peculiar force and energy to what. he is
saying ; he wishes to invest it with pecu-
liar weight ; and to accomplish this, brings
into what he is saying with great frequen-
cy, the name of somebody who never had
existence, i, c.——l1c swears roundly and
earnestly by nothing and nobody ; and if
this be not a specimen of the most ridicu-
lous folly, it is difficult to imagine -where
it can be found. -
But on the other hand if He does ex-
ist,—~if there be :1 God, then we are His
creaturcs——wc live over beneath the no-
ticc of His all-seeing eye.
(lent upon Him for every blcs.-zing. We
are insects in His mighty hand. The
word of His that made us, can unmakc us
in u momcnt,'or protract our existence in
endless torture. “ In his hand our breath
is, and his are all our ways.”
Now think of such. creatures, sustain-
ing such relations to such :1 Being, and
yet: using his name with i2'l'c\'crehcc and
impiet._v—--invoking that hOl_v name in plus-
phcmy ; and that too with as much
thong-htlcssncss and carelessness as thc-_v
would the name Of a fellow man ! ~.If this
be not the height of madness, then is it
difficult to imagine vherc it can be found.
No other conclusion can therefore be
reached than thzit. Prof:mity, as was st.
ted at the outset, is the height, either of
folly or madncss.—- S;21"£az,.;-jjfecirl J?e]m.bIicm1..

THE LBCOMPTON SWINDLB.
Address of Bancroft the Historian.
We copy below, and need not advise
our readers to the perusal of the able
and lucid remarks of the historian Ban-
croft, on the Lecompton constitution.-
An earnest and sincere democrat, an clo-
qucnt and bold champ on of liberty and
the rights of man, he has a. world-wide
reputation from his writings, as well as
his distinguished public services. He, as
well as Robert J. Walker, was associated
with Buchanan in the cabinet of Mr.
Polk, and represented our country with
distinguished ability as its Minister to
Eugland—a post which Mr. Buchanan
occupied at a later period, after Mr.
Bancroft had retired from active political
life, and employed himself onhis great
work, the history of the United States.
The conditon of affairs in regard t0
Kansas, and the fundamental principles
involved in the questions presented, have
aroused his attention, as they must that
Of every citizen who regards the welfare
of the oouutry. Although he supported
Buchauan’s election and has desired the
success of his» administration, he _feels
himself compelled ‘by every consideration
of duty, to oppose the scheme of imposing
upon the people a constitution that is not
theirs, which they did not make,.whicl1
they have not ratified, to which they are
Opposed, and which at the ballot box they
have condemned and rejected.
We have seen the subject no where
presented in a. better form ; and the rea-
sons assigncd are cogent and conclusive
with every one not controlled by a nar-
row partisau spirit, regardless of the wel-
fare of the country. Let every man read
the remarks of this distinguished man.-
They are sound and impreguable :
FELI.0W-CITIZENS :—-The proper solu-
tion of the question before the country,
which, in some of its aspects, is the most
momentous that has been presented since
the adoption of the Federal Constitution,
is self-evident ; but that solution has been
so thwarted that it is made necessary to
revert to first priuciplcs,_nnd to take
counsel of the_Pcople, who are‘ the source
of wisdom and of power. Far from Op-
posing Democracy, we come here to-night
to uphold it, by freshening in our minds
the love of Justice and Frecdoxn, without
which Democracy is a delusion. _
I-Vc are assembled to protest against
forcing the Lecompton Cons 'tution upon
the people of Kansas agax st their will.
Bear with 1110, fellow-citizens, if, in the
fewcst possible words, I_ speak to the facts
in the case, to the right, and to the
means of rc-dress.
As to the facts of the'case,thc Lecomp-
ton Constitution was authorized in ac-
vancc by no one branch Of the General
Government. The Senate of the United
States passed a. bill for :1. Convention in
Kansas, having in view a very different
mode of procedure. The House, by a
decided vote, declared itself willing to
accept the Peal and true opinion of the
majority of Kansas, however it might be
expressed. The President, through his
agent the Governor of the Territory, ve-
toed thc bill for the Convention. The
Senate, the House, the President of the
United States, are all innocent of the Le-
comptou Convention. The people of the
Territory never elected that Convention,
and never had an Opportunity to do so.
The lists of voters were made out by par-
tisan Otlicers, who acted under no penal-
ties for neglect of duty. Fifteen counties
by no fault of their Own, had no possible
opportunity to vote at all. The Convention
therefore, never had even a pretext for
binding the people. Bet'orc the Conven-
tion did its work a new election of a.
Kansas Legislature took place and,
thanks to lValkcr and Stanton, false,
fraudulent and forged returns were reject-
ed, and a Legislature was formed of un-
questioned legality. The Convention,
knowing the true will of the people, in (lo-
fianec of that will, refer the Constitution
to the people, sequestered their in aliena-
ble rights, and made themselves masters.
They acknowledged that such arcfcrcncc
should have been made at least on the
Slavery clause, and then they framed a
schedule which made no true reference
even of that clause but disfranchised all
except those who would acknowledge
their usurpation,-and were willing to take
test oaths to support it. The Conven-
tion furthcr assumed most cxtraordinzuy
power.-.., and sought in advance to mlllify
and render void the acts of the newly elect-
cclLcgis1aturc. They did what they could
to show approbation of the vote which
Walker and Stanton, with the approval,
it is to be hoped of the President, had
rcjectecl. Moreover, it Ordered an elec-
tion 0l' Statc oflicers, under their unrut1-
fied Constitution, without requiring an
oath ofthc election officers, or allixiug ll
penalty on fraudulent voting orforgcd re-
turns ; and they, moreover, directed re-
turns to be mark, not to the Governor or
the legislature, ut to one man alone, tle
President of their Convention ; a man
holding a most lucrative ofilce and a large
patronage under the General Govern-
ment ; clothecl with power tojuclge athis
discretion of all returns of a Legislalmc
before which he might become a candi-
date for Otiicc ; bound by no oath to fidel-
ity, and exposed to no legal penalty for
the abuse of his trust- We hold, then,
that the Convention has no claim to the
sovereignty in Kansas but by usurpation
that it had in nowisc the sanction of Con-
gress, nor Of the President, nor of the
people of Kansas, and was but a cunning
device to defraud that people Of its sov-
crcignty.
The cmjcliuul point on which the great.
ncstioiz turns is this: Is the Lecompton
Constitution the. choice and will of the
people of Kansas? I say it is not, and
I shall prove it. The first; witness is the
the Convention itself; they were urged
to refer the matter to the people; the
President in his high ollicc pledged him-
self Over, and _Ovcr again, to the a.ppx'o[);1-
_tiOn of that course, and by the guthox-ity
and with the knoivledgc of the P'p‘ési'deu'1;,‘
the Govc1'uo1',’ai1d'ofliccrs of the Presi-
dcnt’s' appointment, quieted the discon-
tents of the people Kansas by advocating
the necessity of such submission before
the Constitution could claim any validity.
And yet the Convention refused to sub-
mit its doings to the people ; this confes-
sing its consciousness that its work would
be rejected. .
The second witness is the newspaper press
is against the Constitution by a majority
of seven Or eight to 0nc._ .
Next; Kansas, by act of Congress,
has a right to a. delegate in Congress,
charged with the duty to speak for its
people. They have now :1. delegate who
is undoubtedly the choice of the people,
and is t-hc_ first Kansas delegate ever
chosen by the people. He is my third
witness.
Next ; ask the line, of Governors ap-
pointed by Presidents themselves ; Geary
VValkcr formerly Senatorzfrom Missisippi,
and recently proposed for a place in the
present Prcsident’s Cabinet, and highly
commended by the President himself ;
Stanton, so lately Member of Congress
from Tennessee, all agree. And I would
not fear to ask Denver, the present in-
cumbent ; he will certify that even a frac-
tion of the party .against._,thc Lcompton
Constitution is more numerous g-_t.han the
whole of its friends.
Fifth. : The people of Kansas now happily
thanks to Walker and Stanton, have a
Legislature indisputably representing that
people ; and so soon as they could lift up
their voice, they protested against the
Lecompton Constitution.
Sir!/1.: Those State Officers who re-
ceived the largest number ofvotes at the
election on the 4th of J aunary last, have
likewise sent their protest to Congress.
Scremh: The voice of the peopleof
Kansas itself should be heard. On the
4th of January they repaired to the polls
under no ordinary circumstances of solem-
nity. The President had sanctioned the
proceedings by his special protection ;
the Legislature and Denver took care
that the vote should be an honest One,
and by that vote it appears that an Over-
whelming majority of the people of Kau-
sas reject the Constitution Of Lecompton.
SO then we have seven sets of witnes-
ses agaiust Lecompton: the circumstan-
tial evidence of the Lecompton Conven-
tion; the Kansas Press; the Kansas
Delegate in Congress ; the series of Kan-
sa's GOvcrnOrs—-—fOur in one year; the
Kansas Legislature ; the Kansas People.
‘All, all declared that the People of Kan-
sas reject thc Lecompton Constitution.
If I could hope that the words of one
so humble as myself could reach the pres-
encc of One so high as the President of
the United States, I would entreat him
to lend his our revercntly, and hear and
respect the voice of the people of Kansas
however lowly they may seem in the
log cabins and homes that they have
made for themselves in the wilderness.
YVhat they have accomplished there un-
der uncxampled trials and difficulties is
the miracle Of‘_thc age. A commonwcath
in all its fair porportions has grown up,
as it were,‘ in the night-time. lfthe Pres-
ident Of thcplfuitcd States will have a
peaceful Atlmiuistration ; if he will by
have dignity in retirement ; if he will
stand well with the world Of mankind ;
if, like l\’ashiugtOn and all our great
Presiclcnts, he wishes to stand well with
posterity, let him respect the will Of the
people Of Kansas.
It is said that the whole affair is oflit.-
tle consequence : that the wrong, if it be
wrong, is a small one. But there is in
political justice no such thing as ‘a small
wrong. A small wrong contains within
it self the seeds of all evil.
It is further said that the people were
factiOus,and as they meant at any rate to
reject the Lecompton Constitution, it was
right not to give them a chance to do so
But if the Constitution for any reason did
not pleace them, they had as right to re-
jccl: it ; nothing is so factions as a minor-
ity attempting to rule a majority.
It is sad they should be punished for
not going to the polls at the bidding of
men who were believed to be disposed to
defraud them. '.l‘hcy went to the polls
the first moment that they were satisfied
of any chance of :1. fair return, even
though suffering under great disadvant-
ages in the apportionment of representa-
tives.
It is saidthat the people Of Kansas,
once admitted into the Union, may change
their Constitution. If this is dishoucstly
said, I will not use the language which
would properly describe the proposition.
If, as it is to be presumed, it is honestly
said, then why give to the men Of Kansas
a rcvOlut.ionar_v right where they have a
right of possession ? Why do wrong,
simply that wrong may be undone? If
this is all that is intended, if there lies
nothing behind this, if there, are no indi-
cations of a wish to perplcx the national
councils, and so to pave the way for a
change of the national policy or for dis-
union, then mischief has been done wan-
tonly ond grnt.uitOusl_v; the country is
couvulscd by its public authorities for an
issue as ludicrous as it is wrong. It was
hardly worth the while to shatter the
democratic party for anything so paltry.
But while it is admitted that the submis-
sion of a Constitution to the people is the
correct principle, it is said that fourteen
States would be clisplensccl ifthis correct
principle were to be fOllOwc_d -_out._ Now‘
the South, in the organic act for Kansas,
obtained all that it askcdgfo := 0
main result has been c.\:a-atxly
eru men foresaw. ’I‘hc
its noth-
ing whatever to gain l)j'-‘%1‘£\,,l‘I.,015tion of
the Lecompton C.:ustit.uti, M‘-1 Itprcsents
no question of practi fifgidvantagc to
the South, and it ca: _ot§‘7Il"é pretended
that the aclulisslox _ .;*Kausas under it
it will carry}, . _.1l:’;a_¥iy‘ advantage for
the South,--"A'._,:§ques't‘ion On the score
of cxpediéncy it ‘does nothing but iu_il!l‘.V'
.to t-hei.South ; the issue presented as :1
Southern One, is untimely and mistaken,
e,u_wisc, and anything but national.
And would it. wound any at the South
legs to have the people of Kansas, as soon
as the General Government is out of the
way, undo all that has been done? Is
it not more respectful to the South to
state the case uxaufully and tcmperutelv
and relv On Southern nmgiumiinity and
sense of justice ? '
Again, it is said the Union is in danger,
the Union is to be dissolvt‘-Scl. There is
no present danger to the Union. The
sufferers of wrong in Kansas lmve been
almost all Northern men ; and the North
has no wish to desert or dissolve, or weak-
en the Union.
But it is urged the men of Kansas are
in rebellion. The imposition of 9. loath-
some and rejected constitution is an odd
remedy for pretended rebellion, WIIICII,
as far as I know, has no precedent, except
in King George and the British Parlia-
ment; in 1774. If Gov. Walker found
discoutents there, the promises of equity
which he made in the name of the Presi-
dent quelled rebellion by means of the
ballot box. The. waves never nsc unless
the wind blows. If the meuace_of the
Lecompton Constitution seemed hkcly to
excite disturbances, Gov. Stanton, to his
honor be it said, lulled the rising commo-
tion, not by calling in the army of the
United States, but by peaceably convo-
king the legal Legislature of the Tcrrito-_
ry. -
There is now no insurrection in Kan-
sas ; there is no rebellion there. Cease
to dispute the unquestionable right of the
majority, and the state of peace will rise
serenely, the storm will be hushed. and
the waves subside. The Government
will not find a. rebellion t-here ; let it not
provoke One.
And what a. contrast between a Gov-
ernor Ofa Territory restoring peace throng
the repaesentatives Of the people and an
ofiiccr of the General Government, calling
himself a President Of 0. Convention, ta-
king an escort from the army of the Uni’-
tcd States to make his entry into the cap-
ital of Kansas amid the murmurs of its
people.
If to the question between the Lecomp-
ton Constitution and the people of Kau-
sas, we apply the test of principle, we find
that the enforcement Of that Constitution
will be an act of power against right : of
the Army against the people; at’ force
against reason ; of usurpation against the
rightful will of a majority. It will be a
violation of the fundamental principle of
free government, which is government by
consent-. It is directly at war with the
democracy, whose carcliual point is the
power of the people. The supporters Of
the Lecompton Constitution have not one
square inch Of Democratic ground to
stand upon. A constitution for its valid-
ity nceds the concurrence of the majority
of the people, either silently by a general
acquicsence or by an appeal to the polls.
Shall full and undoubted evidence he re-
quired fOr a. deed of a foot of land or a
gift by will Of 9. shilling? Shall merchant
Or banker have power to stop payment
ofa check fraudulently held, and shall the
people have no power to stop their scr-
vauts from sequestering their "rights '.7—-
Shall the most insignificant tr;-at.,v Of a
Minister Plenipotentiary want. validity
till it is mtiticcl? And shall the higlicst.
made in a corner by their servants with-
out their assent ? Is form cverytliiug,
and substance nothing? Is appearance
cvcr_vthing and truth -and rlglit really
nothing.
’I‘lu-re is not a precedent for enforcing
a ('0ll.‘1ll$lltlOll a_9;uinst. the consent Of the
people. The principle of popular ratifi-
cation is sanctioned in the _\[inncs0ta
act. .
The I.’resident in his annual Mc-ssagc
empliatically declares that the example
of .<ulnnit.tiug-a cOust.it-utiou no the people
is founded on a correct principle ; so t.h:1.t
his lllStI'llCl.-IOIIS to Gov. Walker On that.
subject were properly e.\'presscd in unqual-
ified terms.
Again : Congress has power to admit
States, but no power wha.t—ever to make
a Constitution for a State ; still less to
impose on a State a Constitution which
the majority of its people loathe and reject.
’I‘hc tendency to centralization Of power
in the General Government is rapid and
da'uger0us. \Vc protest against its fur-
ther increase and against its present ex-
cess. The true basis Of political organi-
zation bctweeu all parts ofthe Union was
from its beginning, the rights of the States
and that basis Offers for the future, as it
has for the past, the most. perfect guaran-
ty for security and Union.
Redress must (301110 from the people of
the United States. _ They in their strength
must remedy the existiuing evil, by a dis-
tinct exprcssion of their will. The mo-
ment is fraught with (langers, which the
adoption of thc L-2cOmp’tOn Constitution
would only aggravate.
A departure from 1hc principles on
which a goverunient rests, is an cviecluce
of its decay. The violations Of the prin-
ciple of popular sovereignty wastes the
lifc blood Of the Republic.
Again : in :1 popular government where
the rulers are but sevauts, anachy steps
in, when principle is forgotten and expe-
dicnc_v is uiadc the guide.
Agaixi, the conccncration of power in
the hands ofa Convention licc that of
Lecompton, is not an ;\.111c1'icaniclca. It
is borrowed from those republics of Eu-
rope which were not capable of cxistin'g
long, for thc Vc1'y reason that power was
so c0m:cncra.tcd. It is derived from the
worst cxanlples of the wru'st period of
rcvol-.xt.i0nury Ifrance, when minorities
usurped power Over a nation by terror and
reckless daring. If the rule Ofthe minor-
ity Convention is now lbrm-. lly sanction-
edby Congress, ll; will be a most (langcr-

should on this occasion have a protest

The policy of enforcing the Lecompton
neither wise, nor expedient, nor possible.
Principleis the true; diviner’s wand by
which the President of a free people sways

measures in I Jongress. The neglect of
principle for tcmporizing expediency al-
ways loses the respect of majorities in

Shortly before noon the bridal proces-

ted. of upward»: of twenty carriages...
First came the I’rinccs.s Of Prussia,‘the

Adalbert of Prussia, the Prince of Ho-
heuzollern-Sigmaringcn, the Duke 0fBra-

by two horses. After :1 short interval
followed the bridegroom in a State car.
‘riagc drawn by black horses. His Rdy.
al Highness was escorted by a detach.
meat of Life Guards, and attended by
the gentlemen of his suite. His recep.
tion by the multitude was most enthusias-
tic. The remaining coaches were occu.
pied by Her Majesty, the Prince con.
sort, the bride, the Prince of Wales, and
the other members of the Roval family
Her Majesty and the I’:-iuc'ess Royai
rode together inn carriage drawn by
cream-colored horses, and the ghee;-§
which greeted their appearance were ve-

Upon arriving at. St. James, the Royal
party ahghted under a covered way erec-

with creeping plants, interwoven with
roses and camclius, and Lunch had been
(I0-He by \'-.-‘tmlsliing and gliding to de-
prive this most inconvenient flight of its
c:uxuar_v mean uppc-:mu.vc«.-. A change,
almost magical in its elf:-ct, had been
made in the royal close . The walls were
covered with rich embossmcnts in white
and gold, the ceiling was clmstcly painted
and gilded in the same c0lOrs,.while noth-
ing could exceed the richness and cle-
gance of the furniture. From the royal
closet the Princess Royal’, accompanied
by Prince Albert and the King of the
Belgians, was conducted to the retiring
mom, a remarkably handsome apartment
exquisitely decorated for the occasion...
Her Majesty, however, passed at once in-
to thc robiug room, one Of the noblest
