Abolition and Disunion.

The following are the-views on these sub
jects of Edward Everett, of Mass.
We cannot shut our eyes to the fact, that
persons holding extreme opinions, at the South
and at the North, are straining toward dlsso-
luton of the Union. The number of persons
desiring this object at the North, suppose to
be small and not very large at the South, ex-
cept in one state but there is very consider
able number. fear, in both sections of the
country, who reason upon the same general
principles as the extremists, and are tending
perhaps unconsciously-to the same result
Where the same measure is pursued by differ
ent persons for directly opposite reasons, we
commonly say that the views of one or the 9TH
er are sure not to be realized.
In the present case deem it certain that the
expectations of both parties will, in the event
of separation of the states, be wofnlly disap-
pointed. Nothing will be gained by the South,
in the war Of security from anti-slaverv agita-
ton; it will gather new violence and strength
Nothing win be gained al the North, in refer
ence TO the existence and extention of Slavery :;
it will be guarded with greater vigilance, and
will seek to spread itself in the direction of
Cuba and Mexico, with an energy of purpose
not yet displayed. All the restraining and
sofiening influences on both sides, which flow
from the kindly union of North and South in
one body polite, and which has insured us six
ty years ofalmost uninterrupted prosperity, will
be at once blasted. Every existing grievance,
complained Of at the South and at the North,
will be immeasurably augmented and embitter
ed, and superadded TO all will be the horrors,
crimes and sufferings of civil war.

The Effects of the Storm.

The Salem Gazette says that at Lobster
Cove, in Manchester the sand which has al
ways, Within the memory of man, formed the
beach, was torn away, during the late storm,
leaving exposed to sight the roots of trees,
which were probably buried centuries ago.
The Plymouth Memorial of Saturday SAYS
"We learn, during the gale of last week,
quantity of linseed oil came ashore in the
breakers, at Manoment ponds. The oil was in
forty gallon casks, IA of which were rolled
upon the shore in safety, but several casks were
burst by being dashed against the rocks. The
casks that were saved contained about 80 gal
Ions of oil each, which proved to be in good
condition. The condition of the casks was
such, as TO render it certain that they had been
in the water great while, perhaps many
years. The outer surface of the casks was
considerably decayed, and there were ridges
of iron rust on each, which were the only re-
mains Of what were once iron hoops. The
casks were covered with barnacles'
The above probably came from the brig Hol-
lander, of Boston, from Rotterdam, which
was capsized and sunk in Massachusetts Bay
about ten years since.

who had been discharged as incurable, the
father left the cars to obtain some refreshment,
leaving the boy in his seat. On his return,
the father stopped for moment to talk with a
friend in another car, and on going to the car
in which he left his son, he found the seat va

the son lying on the track. The fare of both
