THE GUARDS DlE-THEY NEVER
SURRENDER"

We are happy in being able to assure all
those OF our friends who have not been
frightened to death during the las, few days,
by the wild shouts and unbouDGed exulta
tons OF the Loco Focos, re-echoed in tlmid
dIsconso'ate croakngs by some in our own
ranks, that we still have fair prospect
before US Of fighting many more battles,
and that we are not only not in the least
discouraged by recent events, but that we
have full and implicit faith that we shall,
by UNION ENERGY and PERSEVERANCE IN
the coed work, drive the eneuv al Las,
from The field.
Those, TO be sure. who ,houoht that the
victory was alrpady won. AID who were
flattering themselves with the easy triumph
Of their political favori'es, and the consc.
cuen, easy accomplishment of their own
political aspirations, may be disposed to
ground arms, and tamely and dsgraCefully
surrender them,clvcs prisoners Of war
But the rank and file Of the party, the hon-
est and unbough, yeomanry Of the country,
who Fave enlisted for the whole war, and
who aim only at the triumph of the good
cause, regardless of any personal objects
ofthelr own these, the bone and muscle
of the Wing party, have no cause whatever
to be Discouraged Indeed they vii! find
10 the late revcrses new and fresh incen

Let the PhlIi,tjnes, then, come upon us.
| Let the rabid Loco FoCos, both Southern
and Nor,hen, with lcroclous fury against
| all who are more industrious, and therefore
| more prosperous, than themselves, slated
with triumph, aim a desperate attack at

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ErtracttrOnr a Speech, by DaUid Paul
BrotVn, Esq.

''Why, gentleman, who was i! that shed
the brightest lustre upon the vast science of
astronomy! One David Rittenhouse. ma
tive of Pennsylvania, who followed the
plough. Who was it that tore the lightning
from heaven and the sceptre from tyrants !
One Ben. Franklin, printers boy, who
protected himself from the inclemency Of
the winter by exercise alone and lived upon
a single roll of bread day. Who was it
when the veteran armies of Great Britain
faltered and fed, in the Indian war, safely
conducted the retreat, and secured the rem
nant of the army, though he had never set
a squadron in the field, nor the division of
battle knew more than spinster! one
George Washington, a Virginia planter.
Who was it that shed the brightest halo
around the brightest reign that the world
ever knew; the reign of Elizabeth-the age
of the leighs-the Bacons and Sidney {?
whyit was one Ben. Johnson, quondam
apprentice to brcklayer; and one VIII
Shakspesr, peasant boy, shrewdly sus-
pecled Of poaching upon his neighbor's
deer. Or, passing from astronomy and po-
etry to law; who was it that rose from low
beginnings, to be Lord Chief Justice of
England! one Charles Abbot, whose father
was a barbar. Who was it that rose
to be Lord High Chancellor of Eng
land one Jack Copley, whose father was
an American painter. Who was it that be-
came the brightest star in the judicial con-
stelIation of Great Britain! one Phil Yorke,
whose father no man knew. Or passing to
still further illustration; who was it that
subjected three-m, rths of Europe, and con-
fident against the world I arms, made the
Autocrat of all Russia tremble 'on his
throne one Napoleon, who rose from =
station of corporal to such consummate
power, TO such dazzling heights to enable
qim to look down upon emperors, kings,
princes, and the other potentates of the
earth while he unmade them.
Although do not mean to say that
there never was great man among the
wealthy curled darlings of the nation, vet
do mean to say, and all history sustains the
assertion, that luxury and affluence are cal
culated TO enfeeble the mind, and that those
therefore, who are great in despite of them,
would probably be much greater if removed
from their influence. 1t is we'll known
fact among gentlemen of the turf, that
blooded horses, who for years have been
permitted to browse and career on broken
irregular and mountainous pastures, have
acquired a much greater muscular strength
in sportsman's phrase better bottom, than
those who are fed upon level surface.
The application of his,allhough physical
illustation, is not difficult. Men, whose
lives have been an uninterrupted course Of
difficulty, perfect uphill work, acquire in
time a self-independence, and a self-sufTi-
cheney and promtitude in every emergency,
which. those who have been accustomed
to stand for fame on their forefather's
feet,or to lean for all pleasure upon anothers
breast, never have known and nev or can
know"

. COLUMBIA COUNTY,, PA. SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1885,
ON MORAL INSANITY.

"Some thirty years ago young lady,
the only daughter of noble house in the
north Of Germany, from having been one
Of the most cheerful girls, became subject
to fits of the deepest melancholy. All the
entreaties of her parents were insufficient
to draw from her the reason of il; to their
affections he was cold, to their caresses
rude, and though society failed to enliven
her, she bore her part in it with a power
and venom of sarcasm, that were as strange
TO her former character, as they were unbe-
coming her sex 81 youth. The parents con-
trived, doing her temporary absence from
home, to investigate the contents of her
writing desk, but no indications of a con-
cealed or disappointed passion were to be
found, and 1t was equally clear that no pa
pers had been removed.-The first news
they heard of her was, that the house in
which she was visiting had been burnt to
the ground; that she had been saved with
difficulty though her room was not in that
part Of the building where the fire had COM
menced; that her escape had first been taken
for granted land that when her door was burst
open she was found seated in her usual
melancholy attitude, with her eyes fixed on
The ground. She returned home neither
altered in manner nor changed in demanor,
and as painfully brilliant in conversation
when forced into it. Within two months
of her return the house was burnt to the
ground, and her mother perished in the
flames she was again found in the same
state as on the former occasion; suffered
herself to be led away without eagerness
or resistance; did rot alter her department
upon hearing the fate of her mother made
no attempt to console her father and re-
T!ied 10 the coincidence OF hei friends with
bitterness and scorn almost demoniacal.
The father and daughter removed to a spa
for change of scene; on the night of their
arrival, the hotel was in flames, but this
time the fire began in her apartment, for
from her window were the sparks first
seen 10 issue, and again was she found
dressed, seated, and in reverie. The ho-
tel was the property of the soyreign Of the
little state in which the spa was situted; an
investigation took place; she was arrested;
and at once confessed that on each of the
occasions she had been the culprit; that she
could not tell wherefore, except that she
had an irresistible longing to set houses on
fire; at each time she had slriven against il
as long as she could, but was unable to
withstand the temptation; that this longing
first supervened few weeks after she had
been seized with sudden depression oil
spirits: that she felt hatred to all the world
but had strength 10 refrain from oaths and
curses against it. She is at this moment

Unnecessary to apply the severest restraint
She still possessed her M emory, her reason
