Others This reasoning faculty is the parent OF

were as he was originally created in the likeness
of his Maker, he would require no other guide,
and no other restraint. But until he shall return
once more to that state of perfectibility, he Is
not to be trusted when under the guidance OF
reason and conscience alone. He requires a
tighter rein. The bull must be taken by the

The preceding remarks principally appll
cable to those who sincerely, and in good faith,
strive to obey the dictates of conscience, aud TO
curb the Righteousness of the passions. But
how many are there Of these, in comparison with
such as make conscience mere cloak for the
indulgence of those very passions !--who sub
stitute their stubborn WILL their personal inter
ests and feelings, their prejudces, their ambition,
their revenge their love and their hate, for con
science who make il only an excuse for doing
us they please, and convert that which was in
tended MS restraint into letter of license for
its violation? Some of the greatest scoundrels
have ever known, were, if you believed them,
the most conscientious rascals in exister CO.
Their conscience was the most plant tool in the
world, and they, for the most part, acted as if
they had no conscience whatever
The adoption of the higher law" as the gen
eral rule of action in any State or community,
would therefore, according to the view have
taken, operate TO produce complete subversion
of the present state of social organization.
There would be no rule of action applying
equally to all, for no two consciences are alike
in all respects, being framed or modified by an
infnitude of circumstances, many of them en-.
tirely accidental, and consequently no two men
would be governed by the same principles.
There would be no punishments, for there would
be no crmes--since it would be the height of
cruelty and injustice to inHct n penalty for act
ing in accordance with our consciences and
there would be no rights of property, because it
would undoubtedly suit every mans conscience,
in this happy state of nature, to help himself to
whatever he wanted
1t may be said | am going to extremes but if
so, am only following fanaticism, which never
stops in the middle 1t can never be extn
guished till it has burnt itself out, or can find no
more fuel to light its fires. 1t is now in strict
alliance with socialism; and those who believe
there is no danger from their combined efforts in
the United States, must shut their eyes to the
progress of both, within the last few years. That
progress, so far as relates to Abolition, will be
sketched in succeeding letter.

Improvement IN TREATING PoTAToEs.--A
! atent has been taken out in London for pre-
pairing potatoes for seed, by scooping out the
eyes with very small portion of the potato by a
gouge, and then busting over the eyes or germs
with powdered charcoal. 1t is stated that the
germs thus treated answer the purpose as well
as whole potatoes, and can thus be conveniently
sent in barrels 10 any distance. This is sub
ect worthy the attention Of our farmers.--Sci.

az The "IoN," correspondent of the Balti-

the following information touching the action of
the cabinet on the THRAsHER case. Better late
than never
learn that the Secretary Of State has taken
steps in behalf of John s. Thrasher. Some
weeks ago instructions were sent to Mr. Owen
on the subject, and more recently to Mr. Sharkie,
the new consul, who has not gone to Havana.
Instructions have now, it is well understood, been
sent to Mr.. Berringer, our minister in Spain, to
every proper means to induce the Queen 8
government to release Mr. Thrasher
am informed by persons just arrived here
from Havana that the Cuban authorities were
quite determined that Mr.. Thrasher should never
return to the United States--for, after the treat
ment he has met in Cuba, his energies or in
huence would be exerted here with great effect,
in favor of a revolution in Cuba, as Commodore
Stockton sad to-day in his introduction to a
call for information as to the proceedings against
John S. Thrasher, it is much to be hoped that
the bad laws and bad manners of this depen
dency on the old Spanish monarchy, will be
amended
Their acts are of a nature that require some
inquiry, and, unless their aggressions be noticed
by this government, they will become entirely
too frequent for our taste or for their own bene-
fit am afraid however, from what learn,
that the President cannot furnish any satisfac-
tory Information in relation to Mr.. Thrasher's
arragnment and trial, and the charges and proofs
brought against him. Dir. Owen has sent no in
formation on the subject, and very little has been
furnished by Mr. Thrasher or his friends to the
goveS imen'.
