sects as to produce the most awful conhagra- |
hons In a neghboTng city. The same doube-faced |
demsgogue stirred up another portion OF the |
peeceable and quiet citizens OF this State and pro-
duced rupture between propiietors of land and |
then 0nants, In certain countless which, Is not yet
settled, and probably will not be without some
awful and terrible scenes, similar to those which
took place when it first broke out. nN /
All these local excitements and religious exaspe-
ratons might be overlooked but when we see
the same agitator, the same demagogue, In con-
sequence of the social condition OF class of the
population of the Soxth--a condition which is far
happier and far more comfortable than that OF
many of the white race IN the North-when we
see such demagogue, out of such social condi-
ton endeavoring to excite and exasperate popular
opinion and State legislation at the North, so as
to pass laws In violation of the constitution, and
which will lead to Its disruption, it is time for the
sensible practical business men of this and other
communities of the North, to pause and ask,
"Where will such men and such doctrines lead
% Yet this man seeks to be sent to the United
States Senate there to widen the breach, which is
already unfortunately too wide, between the North
and the South.
How can we, after rejecting on these matters,
and looking over the whole ground, Judge harshly
OF the representations put forth In the Southern
manifesto? The gentlemen who Issue it have
abundant reasons for taking the course which they
have assumed; and the moderation with which
they have urged their purposes and views, ought
to recommend their manifesto to the favorable
consideration of all true and sincere friends of the
Union, at the North and every other portion of the
confederacy

! We do not give our readers the separate manifesto
of Mr.. Berrien and the minority, because it is al
most the same in every particular.
MORE CABINET MAKING-VERMoNr IN THR
| FELD.-The Green Mountains of Vermont are ia
nous for the production of healthy sound timber.
Cabinet making, therefore, in that region, ought
10 appear quite natural and proper. Accordingly,
we find that the Legislature of that worthy State
| have walked up all OF sudden have searched into
presidents, and perused the histories of the United
States, and have made the discovery that they
have never yet had Vermonter in any Presidents
Cabinet in Washington, to the present day. Upon
this discovery being made by the profound archie
ologists of the Green Mountains, the Legislature
has jumped at once to the work, and has put for
ward the name of Mr.. Collamer fit and proper
candidate tor the new Cabinet, In the capacity oil
United States Attorney General. Now, who Mr..
COamer Is, the rest of the world 10 entirely gno-
rant of-they might with almost the same propriety
have put forward the name of John Smith. YETI
probably Mr.. Collamer, as production of the
| Green Mountains, may be, for aught we know, an
excellent stick of timber, capable of very fine
polish, and may make very useful member of the
Cabinet at Washington. We doubt, however,
whether there Is yet sufficient growth to be cut
down, SO that when the branches are Topped off it
can be polished up sufficiently, SO as to be placed
at Washington, In the capacity indicated, alter the
4th Of March next.
