EXPEDrENCY

The following short chapter Is taken
from volume just published by Perkins
& Marvin, Boston. Il sets up right
against e1psdisney, most soundly and
beautifully. Another chapter might have
been added by the writer, by way ofmeet-
ing the despotic, ice, iron hearted gov
ernor on his own ground, showing the
utter unsoundness and falsity Of his doc
trine, in point Of fact But such chap
ter could not have elevated the writer, In
our own estimation, one inch. To man
Of upright principle, it is loathsome ou-
siusss TO descend and wade in the quag-
mires of expediency. He ought never
to subject himselfto the degrading task,
except il be to NEE; aud defeat with their
own vile weapons, the nonstrous geniuses
whose very natures seem to have become
Identified with the foul element. The
paragraph below, from governor Nc DUFF
fees message, and the review which fol-
lows il, present Us the contrast between
expediency and duty. 1t is the contrast
that exists between rgliness and limo
eenee-between the abode Of devils and
dwelling place of angels.-tED. TEL.
