We subjoin communication from the
United States Telegraph, and have added
to it, what we consider parallel speci.
men ofthe same style ofreasoning:
The Question IN a Nut-sheU.-If Con-
gress were to grant the prayer of the pc
tltioners to abolish slavery in the District
of Columbia, the dissolution ofthe union
would Immediately follow. Every body
admits that. These petitions to Congress,
therefore, are equivalent to petitions for
the dissolution. Would Cong ress receive
such? All answer, No. Then it fol-
lows that Mr. Calhoun is right. His
proposition is, not to receive these aboli-
ton petitions, which are, in effect and viz
tually, petitions for the dissolution of the
union. The object OF these rascals is ap-
parent. mean those of the initiated
the master spirits in the plot Their aim
is, first to break the present federal union
ofthe states, and then to have a grand
CONSOLIDATED government.
COMMON SENSE
Let us suppose that band of incendia
ries have taken an oath that they will
burn the city of Boston, if the Legislature
grant the petition for a ten million bank
Now, granting that they have the power
to put their threats in execution; ifthe le-
gislature grant the prayer of the petition
ers, the burning of Boston would immedi-
ately follow. These petitions, therefore,
are equivalent to petitions for the burning
ofBoston. Would the legislature receive
such? All answer, No. 1t follows then
that the legislature must refuse to receive
the petitions for the ten million bank
The object OF these rascally petitioners is
apparent. Their aim is to burn all the
houses Of the citizens of Boston, and then
make them pay exorbitant interest for
money to rebuild them.
We trust that the time will come when
the north will no longer consent to sacri-
flee all their interests and wishes, because
the south threaten to dissolve the union.-
The mod~s operandl of the south has al
ways been to threaten to make war, ifthe
north do not yield to their demands, and
then argue to the north that, for the sake
Of peace, they should yield AS ifa high
wayman should demand your purse, and
tell you that the responsibility of your
murder will belong to yourself and not tC
him, if you do not give it to him.-Boston
Courier.
The car Of Juggern0utis monstrous
vehicle, gigantic in its dimensions, and
associated in the mind with images Of
horror; it is sort of platform, forty-three
feet In height and thirty-fve feet & hall
In diameter; the ornaments with which it is
decorated are by no means splendid, its
principal attraction being a covering of
striped and spangled broadcloths. The
neighboring villagers have their fields
rent free upon the condition of attendance
at the cars of the idols.
This duty at present esteemed prlyi-
Iege, is not exclusively confined to those
who are so we'll rewarded for it's perform
ance; but before the whole ceremony
concludes, the zeal of many of the devo-
tees is so completely exhausted, that the
rdthS would scarcely reach their destina-
ton were it not for the service whie h
Brahmlns can command. 1t takes 1900
men TO put each car of Juggernaut in mo-
ton, and when the idols are fairly estab-
llshed IN their places, the shouts and cries
OF the frenZied multitudes are such as to
lead us to fancy that the whole of Pande-
monlum had been let loose-an idea
which is strengthened by the fend-like
hgures of Jogies. Gossiens and other re-
iiglous mendlcants, whose grim visages
lighted up with a frantic joy, give them a
super-human appearance as they cheer on
their insane followers to the acts ofhorror
Though the ponderous wheels of Jug
gernaut no longer 60 crushing over the
bodies OF PROSTATE victims the fury and
excitement with which the assembled
crowd rush to the car is truly appalling
In places of very inferior note, there is
something frightful in the noisy, lumber
ing progress of the cumberous rah. sur
mounted by hideous idol dragged about
in honor of the festival; but in the very
heart and centre ofthis abominable super
stitlon, the celebration becomes perfectly
terrific, and the senses, over-wrouqht
faint and slcken at the view. The scene
ry of the place, its bare sands, the surging
of the ocean in the distance, the drenching
rains, damp gales and sudden tempests Of
the fitful atmosphere, add to the wild hor-
rors ofthe awful pageant. Each day the
exhibition becomes more ghastly. as the
wan victims of famine and disease drop
exhausted around, making golgotha of
the unhallowed precincts.-Miss Roberts
