~ We coincide with the follow
ing sentiments from tho Baltimore
american. A great deal more excite
ment has been created on this subject
in high places than the occasion de-
mandcd I'D
The masses Of the people through
out the country, certainly throughout
the larger portion of the country,
have never yet realized the appre-
heusion that the Union ofthese States
could be in danger. 1t is something
so far beyond their comprehension,
as an actual event, that they are dis
posed to consider all agitation on
that subject as the work of idle poll
ticians, who arc greatly at a loss for
some available material to work UP
into political capital. If the belief
should once really enter the public
mind, that the Union was in peril.
there would be an uprising of strong
men throughout the land, whose tread
would shake the solid earth as they
moved forward, like an array of #
tans, to the rescue of the republic.

From the European Times.

The Peace Congress has been held at Frank
fort this week. The Germans did not attend in
great numbers, but there was host of Eng
lishmen, anda great number of Americans. The
usual declamatory speeches were delivered; and
MIR. Golden ssslashed away" not souh but a.
g0inst all implements of war. But the Ameri-
cans quite took the shine out of him.
An Ojibbeway chief the Rev. Mr.. Copway,
a native North American Indian, and Mr.. Whip
pie, of New York, who astonished the phlegrna-
tic Germans by perfect Niagara Of Yankee elo-
quencc-these seemed to have excited the great
est applause. Ofcourse, Mr.. Elihu Burritt, and
Emile Girardin and the Rev. DR.. Burnett, con
tributed their share to the amusement; and they
have all agreed to hold their Congress next year
in London.
Perhaps the best of the whole joke was, that
'the bloody Haynau' was present at the Con-
gress, and Mr.. Golden instead Of abusing him,
as he did last year at the London Tavern, point
&c to him as "convcrt' topeace principles, who
had seen the error of his ways! the invective and
the hattery were equally misplaced and lost upon
the Austrian general. who, from his ignorance
of the English language, was utterly ignorant of
what the orator was declaiming about.

CAUSES OF FAILURE IN BUSINESSMAN excel
lent writer in Hunts Magazine enumerates the
following causes of failures among business
men,
l. The leading cause is an ambition to be rich
by grasping too much, it defeats itself.
2. Another cause is aversion to labor
3. The third cause is an impatient desire TO
enjoy the luxuries oflife before the right to them
has been acquired in any way.
a. Another cause arises from TIE want ofsome
deeper principle for distinguishing between right
and wrong than a reference merely to what is
established as honorable in the society in which
one happens to live.
