TreasOn-s}issC luton Of the
Union, &c

Union, &c.
We were always opposed to the late
25lh Rule Of III. House Of Representa-
tlves, il being our belief that the petitions
of Aboltionisls in common with all o,he,
respectful petitions should be received
But we are Of opinion that the memorials
they are now getting up, asking for the
dissolution Of the Union, unless slavery
is abolished, should not be entertained bv
the House. So far from being respectful
they are reasonable. Any effort to dis
solve the Union, we conceive 10 be trea-
son against the Governmen:--aIl peli.
lions asking for lis dissolution we hold to
he reasonable, and all persons or parties,
whether in the N orh or in the South
who are in favor Of Disuninn, we hold to
he traitors.
or wha, avail was il that our fathers
waged an elgh, years war, and encounter
ed during thai time The most intense hard
ships and snllerings 10 gain their indrpen.
dence, and establish this government, foe
our benefit. and as they hoped, for the
benefit OF millions down through time, if
ultra and designing politicians are now to
rend II in twan9 Are the days Of l.ber-
~, like those OF man, to be limited To less
than three score year>2 in The time of
the Revolution there we're lorys who op-
posed the patriots of those DAYS wlrile
they reared this fabric for the free---,here
are traitors now who would sap its very
foundations, aud let it fall in confusion
down The (rown Of every American
worthy Of the name Of freeman. should
rest upon such. Every good man and
patriot should rebuke the very mention Of
DIsnnion "Uniled we stand, divided we
fall" The only security there is that our
government will be lasting is The invioa--
BILE unio& of all the States Then lie,
every good ci,ize'.. however humble his
position may be, use his influence 10 pre-
serve il.
There is danger in ,4rse petitions, and
tins talk OF d''unlon, tha.i heard through
the land. Once III" very mention Of It
would have caused All American 10 si!u,!-
der--it is now discussed as probable
event, by all, from the grave Senator down
10 The coltAGer-yea and by many i. is
spoken Of as desirable occurrence.-
The mind becomes prepared TOR the per
pe'ra'ion Of aimostany crImel y dwelling
long and pertimaciously upon the idea of
il. What awful evidence could lhy
young and the giddy give upon This poin.
The idea of some lrightIul mis- step ia pre-
scented 10 them, and they dismiss it with
horror. 1t comes back again and again,
and is sgaln and again in haste dismissed;
presently ii gets hearing---lhe mind be
gins to argue in its iavor--lhey begin Ia
see advantages and pleasures tina, would
arise rom The qualification Of .heir desire
its hldeousness is covered up by So
phls,ry-the mind is prepared, aud the
deed is done.
Let, We repeat, all good citizens frown
upon every mention Of disunlon--le, i, be
made disrepu,abIe to give the sIghtes,
countenance to such schemes of treason,
aud we are safe On the contrary, lie,

Try may be soon undone.

/ CHILDHooD.-Childhood, more than
any other period, linksits remembrance ?
w'thinanimate objects, ,perhapse because
its chief pleasures are derived from Il
them. The hillock whose top was left
wifh'a flying step--the oak, to scale
whose leafy fortress had in it something
ofthat sense of danger and exertidn
in which even the earnest age delights
1.-The broad sheet of water, whose
smoothe surface has been so often SIX kim-
med and broken by the round pebble,
to whose impetus the young arm lent
its utmost vigor--how deeply are these
things craven upon the memoryl The
great reason why the pleasures ofchild.
hood are so much felt in their festaisa- !;
ton. is that they suffice unto themselves. 9
The raceis run without an eye to prize;
the oak is climbed without reference 10
aught that will reward the search; the
stone is flung upon the waters, but not
in the hope that, ere many days, it will
be found again. The simple exertion
is its own exceeding great reward. 81
A NOBLE FELLow.-At a hard
fought battle between the Tennessee.
ans under General Jackson, and the
Greeks under the famous Weatherford.
in 1914, the rear guard fell into confu.
sion and endangered The whole army.
At that moment, Lieut.. Armstrong with
25 men advanced against 500 Creek
warriors. with single piece Of cannon,
and checked the charge. Seven, Of this
little band fell at the first fire. Among
them, Lieut.. A., who fell desperately,
wounded, but cried to his men:--.Sonssy
of you must perish, my Jraue tszzows,
but saue the cannon They did save
the cannon, says Gen, Jackson, and the,
whole army was saved from defeat BY,
their heroic courage. :. The,same Lieut..
Armstrong is now consul to Liverpool,
These are the kind Of men. when they
can be found, to put in Office. .sr,rssa,
