sunk in flames in the Bay of Gibralter. On Tues
day evening the magnificent East Room of his
palace, was a scene of music, and dancing, and
laughter and delight; on Thursday evening, an
awful array of FIVE coffiins with their pals, con-
veHed it into tomb.
Is there no PROVIDENCE in all these things?
Because we have no prophets to interpret the
signs and explain the wonders, pointing out their
precise connection with the conduct of Rulers or
People, does it follow, that the Almighty has
abandoned the world He formerly governed and
left events to blind chance, or to the will ofmen
or of demons? Is there any thing indecent
or unkind in calling the attention of the
Public, and even of the afflicted themselves, to
these omens and catastrophes, as warning to
reflect on the causes, and if possible remove
them? May we not, without offence to Presi-
dent Tyler, say TO him: ''See! The man who
stock before you, has fallen; the man who stood
behind you, has fallen; three of those who stood
around you, have fallen; deaths arrow has passed
close to your heart, and your own life is almost
a miracle. Reflect Is there no reason for all
this? Is there not something in your own life
which has brought these judgments upon you,
something in the means which placed you in
power, or something in the use you have made
Iofit?
1 Is there any ndecency or impropriety even in
calling the minds of men, whether rulers or ruled
TO Provdences of this sort? Is there necessarily
any unkindness in il towards the living or the
dead? Does it deserve to be stigmatized as
''diggng among the bones of the honored dead
and rihng the very coffins of their perishng re-
mans?" If so, the Preacherw who thunders Gods
Providences from the Pulpit OF comes to bury
your wife or child, is a savage and demon
And if there be no connection between mans
moral conduct and the events around him, youl
Bible is aForgery and your Religion a Lie.
} See! Your candidate for the Presidency lands
at Mobile on the Sabbath amidst the shoutings o
a1Gn-rDorship. Death is behind him, and death
before! One ofhis friends perished by the hands
t of another at meeting in New Orleans, and a
!; second victim to the crash of the Clay Clul
/ House, breathes his last in Richmond. Wnil'
he is vending his way through the South, his al
Sly, the Priest Of Mammon, who, i'll their war upol
, the Christian Hero of the Hermitage, brought up
} on our country scourges worse than ''War, pestl
9 Ience and famine" filling it with ruined men ant
d beggared widows and orphans, dies of a loathsom
disease in the palace which his pride had erecte
G on the banks Of the Delaware. Will not thes
things arrest the course of prohgacy which signal
y lied the Wing canvass Of 1870? Shall they g
/ until, throughout cur land, there shall be ''not
| house ,Dhere there Is not one dead?"
The bosom of him who writes this, entertain
# not tncture of malice towards one of the vln!
: or the dead, to whom he has alluded. But h
d DOES RELIEVE, that the moral character and con
n duct of man affect creation around him, and o.
d ten involve the innocent with the guilty. Ii
t. hopes this exposition will have some effect in a
d resting the Wing Party in the proAigate caree
d upon which they have again entered, and in pre-
:. venting the Democratic Party from initiating til
j. horrible example. A kingdom without virtue
i hell; depraved Democracy is hell acittos
O a head No, Brother Democrats! let us rathe
1t perish by the sins Of our enemies, than CONVEX
t, our country into an ungorerned hell by followil
N their DrOHuate EXAMPLES
