Mr.. CoBB, Speaker of the United States House OF
Representatives, Is making noble efforts in favor
of the Union, and recently delivered great Union
speech at Marion, Georgia, which, II - said, has
caused quite revolution in public sentiment. But
the misfortune is that while the good and great
men of the South making the noblest efforts for
the preservation Of this glorious Union, few Ia
natical di.turbers Of the public peace at the North
doing their very best (and wors) 10 neutral
ize the patriotic endoavors Of southern men by fur
nishing their enemies at their own doors with ar
guments against them. Ifthere ever was a band of
traitors who deserved the undiotivc vengeance of
their country, itis the united baud Of bad men at
the South and the North, acting in unhofy
concert for the dismembermcnt and destruction Of
the best and freest Government ever rmed for the
government of mankind. Compared with them
Benedict Arnold was patriot aud gentleman.

CARRYIso CONCEALED WEAPONS &C oyernor
Helm, of Kentucky, in his late message, denounces
this practice in the following emphatic terms:
81 sincerely hope that the constitutional denun-
citation of the duel-a mode of adjusting personal
differences at war with the laws Of Nature and of
Goodwill have salutary effect. There is prac-
tice, however growing daily in extent-the carry
ing OF concealed weapons, which regard more
pernicious and mischevous in it's consequences, if
possible, than the duel. This cowardly practice
you now have the CONSTITUTIONAL power TO sup
press."
'To discriminate between honest purpose TO
defend 3 lfaganst the lawless and unprovoked
attacks of the assassin and the wicked thirst for
blood and for revenge for some real or imaginary
personal wrong or indignity know is sometimes
a difficult task. But, difficult as IL is the country
will expect at your hands, and the country will
have right 20 expect an earnest and we'll direct
ed effort 70 overcome that difficulty, that the peace
fol and unof1ending citizen may be secure from the
deadly attacks OF those who have hitherto prowled
aboutour towns literally cncased in belts OF knives
and pistols Ample power is given to you, that by
the infiction of adequate penalties you may rob the
assassin of his instruments Of death. need not re-
der State has been called to witness, which
have been caused by this miserable practice Our
newspapers come TO almost every day with sto-
ries Of ourages, ARRAYS aud boodsbed very nearly
all Of which may be traced TO the practice ofcarry
ing concealed weapons. This IL truly lamentable
state of things. Yet is, am paincd TO confess,
too true; and most respectfully, but earnestly, ad-
monish you, as you value the peace and good order
Of society, you prize the lives Of your fellow
citizens, aud the well being Of your own children,
to strike this evil with heavy hand"
