to the right of revolution, and fail and you
know what the result will be- If, contra
ry to your duty as good citizens, and in
violation of your allegiance to the State, on
are desperately bent on violence, it will be-
come the duty Of all good citizens, of every
lover of good government, and of cons,ilu-
tional freedom, to oppose you. In that
hour Of conflict, which may God in his
mercy avert, we shall be prepared to lay
down our lives in defence Of our consti,u-
tional rights, and bearing aloft the broad
banner of''The Constitution and the Laws,''
with we'll grounded hope of victory, we
can submit our cause to the judgment Of an
approving world.
But, gentlemen, spare US from all this. II
you desire convention, 60 about i! in the
tight way. Begin at the beginning. Com
mence it in constitutional way, and let US
first make convention constitutional. We
will 60 with you in any constitutional mode
Come forward, then, and take the bill which

it up and pass it-and you will have effected
your purpose as soon, and as we'll, as by
your own plan-wi,h the additional consci-
BUSINESS that you have violated no compact

DOINGs AT OUR SCHOOL 'OUsE.

''First class Of vagabones, rise - thunder
ed our school-master. Well, the vagabones
rose. "Now answer every question cor
rectly, or lll break every bone in your
bodies' was the next pronuncia mento of
the old autocrat Of our red school house.
Sap1ent old pedagogue! thy years were many
and full of knowledge. Looking back
through long vista of birch rods, can see
his restless grey eyes darting in quick CLAN
ces from pupil to pupil, in search of the
''graceless scamp who threw the last spit
ball with such wonderful precision as to
barely escape his nose, and stick fast on the
wall. And, now | recoIlect, he had most
pe,plexing squint-a squint accommodating =;
for if he appeared to be looking directly a,
one, that one might go it, and no longer
fear Of being detected for his optical focus
was olherwheres directed-but, if his eyes
were fastened in direction, one could no.
tell where, then be wary, for it might be on
you. Glorious old master if your eyes
squin'ed, your heart was as true as the nee
die to the pole-vour affections had no
squint; you thrashed all alike and all alike
shared your wonderful store of knowledge.
This was the last day of the quafter-for a
week our individual store-houses of lore
had been progressing through the various
stages Of mental ventilation, and renovation;
our memories logged; dormant ideas awak-
ened, and all our energies secured up to a
high state Of brightness, by copious appIica-
lions of the masters brick dust of erudi.ion.
We were in prime order.
