hearted men, Who does not perceive that the
prime obstacle, out Of which all others grow, Is
the Misunderstanding Of the Human Family
Communities do not understand each other: mu-
tual distrust springs from ignorance hostility
from distrust; and propagates itself in unen-
ligbtened minds Only give the world light, and
war becomes impossible. Popular ignorance is TIE
sole basis upon whieh this aupHdoNs system rests.
Convince the people that universal peace is the
Law Of Nature, as well as Of Revelation; that its
violation in any case or for any consideration, is
invariably and necessarily attended with the
same fearful results as flow from the infringe
ment Of any other ordinance of God that the
Human Brotherhood is not gaunt abstraction as
many suppose but a solemn and tangible Reali-
ty-a veritable and mysterious Being, whose
rights and sympathies and interests are guarded
with fearful vigilance by an Eye that never
sleeps, and an Arm that never tires Show them
how War necessarily paralyzes the industry Of
nations msdirects productive labor; destroys
public and private property; sinks the national
wealth increases the burdens Of taxation hsz.
ards the existence Of States; undermines the
foundations Of popular liberty, brutalizes the
populace; ongen,.ers hereditary sntipsshy be-
tween nations naturally united, and annihilates
the revenues Of the world. Satisfy them that il
is a measure which redresses not wrongs, but
perpetrates them; which indemnifes not losses,
but muldplies them; which is not necessary to
secure the national defence nor TO extend the
principles of sound Government, nor to assert
and maintain the right nor to carry out the plans
of Divine Providence Point them 10 that dreadful
six thousand years experience, written in tears
and blood by the deep-graving pen of History
and bid them reflect, reason, and judge. Lift be-
fore their eyes the curtain which conceals the
machinery Of this world-bewitching Tragedy Of
Devils; let them gaze steadily upon that horrid
drapery-surges of fire and garments rolled in
blood - the charm which fascinated their minds
is broken forever!

5. The law Of 1893 provided that the certif,

Again the law of 1850 imposes upon the North
obligations not imposed by the Constitution. I'm
der this head shall be careful to tread on dis
puted ground. The Constitution provides, SIM
ply, that the escaped slave shall be given up upon
claim; that is, shall not be withheld, nor by law
nor in any manner protected against the master.
No one will say that it requires that he shall be
carried back, either by the United States or the
State to which he may have fed.
The Constitution does not require that the
right Of the claimant to the alleged fugitive should
be tried without notice to him. IL does not re-
quire that the claimant should De heard at the
trial, and the claimed be silent II does not re-
quire that the trial should be without any Of the
ordinary securities and safeguards Of justice and
right IL does not require us to offer bride to
the court. II does not prohibit If il does not en-
join, a trial by jury. And thus, in each of these
particulars, in asserting to the law of 1850, the
North has yielded more than its constitutional
obligations required.
This enactment requires of the citizens Of the
free States what as men and Christians, they can
not perform. Its burdens are too great to be
borne. Are we when the foot of the painting fu-
gitive has touched our soil, to leave our farms,
and workshops, and fire-sides, at the command Of

who would have the North abide by and perform
all its constitutional obligations justly and fairly,
but at the same tme upon this subject Of slavery,
would have it claim all its constitutional rights,

much as " the twentieth part of one poor scruplc"

both these cities |. is the common and almost only
building material, admirably fitted for the gothic
style of architecture. Some poet said of the citi-
zens of Edinburgh, who have very much impaired
the natural scenery about the city for the pur-
poses Of architecture that they he'd so little taste
that they sold the sublime and beautiful by the
CARLOAD. These columns are very much in the
form of hexedral prisms, from six inches to foot
or two in diameter. The length of the blocks
forming the prisms are frequently about equal to
their diameter. Each block is concave or hollow
ed at one end, and convex or rounded at the other
the concave and the convex surfaces exactly ft-
ting each other. The sides of the prisms are all
as exactly fitted rs the cells of the honeycomb,
and Of the same shape.
The most remarkable exhibition Of this natural
mountain mechanism is in the Giants Causewsy,
where these hexedral columns so perfectly match
ed, cover great surface and rise to the height of
two or three hundred feet. The inhabitants of
the country, at some ancient period supposed it
to be the work Of race Of giants living there at
period still more ancient.

much modifes the character OF the rocks of which
it forms part For many purposes they are the
most durable of all rocky formations The Russ
pavements, issre32cad into New York, are FORM

hornblend, having a little quarts in fine grains
interspersed through the mass. Though called
Staten Island granite, it is very different, and en-
tirely superior to any granite formation correctly

be found more durable or better fitted for such
pavements than this hornblend rock taken from

The affair Of the Prometheus Is stiIl
exciting great deal Of public comment.
The facts Of the case are known only
from the statements Of Captain Chur-
chill; and, as presented by him, they are
commented upon by New York jour.
nal, the Commercial. as follows:
The Captain Of the Promelheus seems
to have verv unnecessarily involved
himself in difficulty. and his vessel and
passengers in peril. by an unjusti6able
attemptt to leave Greytown without pay
ing port dues. According to his own
statement, the authorities made charge
of S123 for anchorage and port dues,
which Captain Churchill assumed to be
illegally demanded. and refused to pay.
Accordingly, as he was about to leave
port. an attachment was served on the
vessel by the civil power. This he set
at demonstrating probably that the
authorities had not the power to enforce
their laws-hove anchor, and dropped
down the harbor with the current. An
Engli sh brig-of-war llIng near, interceps
ted the Prometheus, firing a shot each
over her bow and stern. whereupon
Captain Churchill presently lay 10, sent
boat on hoard TO ask an explanation,
and was told that the brig would protect
the authorities of Greytown in their law
iul demands. that he must return and
pay up. which he did under protest.
the very thing he ought TO have done be-
fore he sailed, instead of trying to get
away from the responsibility and DEFY
ing the civil authority Of the place,
whom his government would have held
responsible for any wrong.
1t was understood that the treaty of
1850. between Mr.. Clayton and Mr..
Bulwer, settled the question that Eng
land was to claim no sovereignty in the
Mosquito country, or al Greytown, mi
caragua; which If true, whence comes
the right Of an English brig-of-war
"firing n shot each over the bow and
stern" Of an American vessel. and or
dering. her to take the back trackl 1t is
said Mr.. Webster has sent a despatch to
Mr.. Lawrence at London, requiring him
TO ascertain Immediately whether this
attack on the Prometheus was authorized
by the BriIish government.
Mr.. Cass has offered a resolution in
the Senate, requesting information of
the President in relation to the affair.

Col. Schooler the able editor Of the
Boston AtLlS, in a letter to his paper
thus speaks Of the new Whig Sena-
tor from Ohio:
"Among the new Senators, | see
no one with whose appearance am
more pleased than with that of Judge
Wade, OF Ohio. II appearances are
not altogether delusive, that man
will make his mark"
The Colonel thinks the proposed
new Union party has gone by the
board. He says:
"The scheme for a Union party
exploded yesterday. 1t was prupos-
ed that the party should be formed
out Of the Whig and Democratic
parties, or part OF each. but the un-
divided vote Of the Democracy YES
terday, upon the caucus nominees,
and the debate which preceded il,
scattered the hopes of The Union
party men 10 the winds. They have
become satisfied that it is delusive,
and that the only wise mode OF pro
ceeding is to remain rs Of old. The
effect of the voting will he good upon
the Whig party; it will tend to
strengthen and consolidate. and bind
il together in all its parts"
o. the probable course oI the
Democracy he SAYS:
"There is no news Of immediate
interest here about which to write.
The only point developed beyond
chance Of mistake is. that the Demo-
cratic party intend TO hold their
National Convention. make their
nominations, and go for them in all
parts of the country; and that they
will have nothing whatever to do
with new party schemes or new
party men. They will fight under
their old name. and their old leaders.
In this they act wisely; unless the
Wings initiate their example, they
will be most sOundlv beaten. | have
every reason TO believe that the
Wings will so act. They will hold
their National Convention, nominate
their strongest men, and then fight
it through. The mistake of the
wings, when in power, has been, that
they have tried 10 conci!iate The op-
position, by neglecting their friends.
After the experience which we have
had, this mistake will never again be
made"

The New York Journal Of Commerce.
says:
Kossuth is expecting to spend quite
as much time at the South as at the
North; though nothing has as Yet been
determined upon, as to the route TO be
taken in visiting various points. Ifpos
sible he will 60 as far West as St. Lou
is.
The N. Y. Express of the 9Th says:
The Presidents son and Private Sec.
retary, VI. P. Fillmore, waited upon
Kossuth at the Irving House, at half;
past l2. Being introduced, Mr.. Fill
more said he had called to pay his res.
pects to the Governor of Hungary. nov
the guest of the city Of New York. His
father, the President. would be pleased
to see and welcome him at the seat o
Government, and desired TO know when
it was his intention to be in Washington
Kossuih replied that his movements
were uncertain, and it was somewhat
doubtful whether he should go to Wash,
ington, at all. The action of the U. s.
Senate in reference to his visit there,
made his situation far from agreeabi e,
and himself undetermined IN his inien-
tions; and Mr. Fillmore was politely in-
formed, that circumstances would gov
ern his future action in regard to visit
ing Washington, and probably his visit
to other places also..
1--WE hear unofficialIy that Kossuth
regards himself now as the guest of the
city, whereas he came here in the expec
tation that he was to be the guest of the
nation. He is evidently much annoyed
by the non-action nj Congress upon the
various resolutions submitted to the
Senate

The A. y. smIth swIsdIe.

A letter from a friend in Licking
county gives us some facts in regard
10 the ugly swindIe of Smith, which
in substance are as follows:
Smith has long been an extensive
and perhaps reckless speculalor. A
knowledge OF this lac! made the ex-
ecutive committee Of the B,ard Of
Control particularly watchiul Of his
operations, and at their insiigaIion he
was removed from the office Of CASH
ier. His entire Indebtedness to the
bank is secured:-hut even without
that, Ihs Bank is able to pay all its
liabilities, to depositors and the pub
lie, without aid from the other
branches.
He kept an extensive Brokers'
office, and managed to obtain large
deposites with himself as Broker,
instead Of the Bank. 1t is supposed
that from Sl50.000 to 100000 was
on deposit at the time Of his failure.
Saws our correspondent
"Some have lost their all. could
mention individual cases, but il is per-
haps useless. There are many sad
and still sadder hearts.
The losses range from 500 to SILL
being the highest that
have heard Of any one losing. He
is a siaunch Locofnco. and his politi-
cal friends are the heaviest losers"
