II is time that an honest, potential, whitening
voice should 60 up over the whole length and
breadth Of the land in condemnation Of plotters
against the integrity Of the Union, whether they
come from the North or the South. It is time for
the voice of the great Centre to be heard, invoking
the preservation of the Union, of which, while It
is the Centre, it is also the honest and generous
supporter. It is time that the voice Of faction
should be sted; time that the treason which now
seems to vaunt itself in angry words and threats Of
destruction to the Union should receive such re-
Duke as an indignant and patriotic people know
SO well how to give.
For these reasons we think that meetings of the
People should be held every where in the great
Central States of the Union. If, as we believe is
the case, there is no in these States who dares
stand up and openly avow himself in favor of the
dissolution of the Unions if on this subject public
opinion is so unanimous and so honest if both
the slave and the free States are of one mind and
one heart and determined that no disruption of the
Union shall take place, the misguided men at
Washington should be made to feel the force of this
public sentiment.-G. Louis Republican.

MR.. PICKERING ON THE RACES OF MEN.

The work Of DR.. CHARLES PIcKERING of Boston, upon
The Races Of Men and their Geographical Distribution,
which constitutes of the volumes of the Exploring Expe
don has been repubished by Bohn, Of London, in
the numbers of his illustrated Library. The London Weekly
News of September IA contains notice Of this work, in
conjunction with the book of DR. Latham the Natura
History of the Varieties Of Man"
The Ne,cs pays deserved compliment TO Dr. Latham in
pronouncng his book "one of the best Of the me the
best subject Of the tme But the remarks made respecting
Mr.. Pickering be commended, although clearly, in
part least originating mistake in the ignorance Of
the reviewer. He says:

the British reader for the outlay Of trAe For scien

ethnologist rate him very low. He appears to be
deficient in phology, and thus the great amory Of the true
ehnologist is closed to him. We know, indeed, from his
other works. that he is well acquanted with the American
Indian languages but this is very small part of compaa-
tive philology As to physiology, he to have been
entirely guided in his classification Of mankind by the pecu

fuenced by climate the state Of the hair and the complex

Of ignorance, padonabe enough perhaps is exhibited by
the reviewer in confounding DR.. Pickering with the late
venerable Mr.. Pickering, of Boston, distinguished
scholar and philoogi His pathological labors consisted Of
several essays published in the Transactions Of the Massa

volume Of the Conversations Lexicon Encyclopsda Amer

circumstances attending the publication of his work. pre-
