The Union in Danger.

We think the Union in greater danger from the attempt of the whigs to get up Union party than from any other cause, and that all its true friends should protest against the scheme It is the mSior- tune of our opponents to render oaioas every name they adopt, in few years. Federalists, National Republicans, and other names by which they are known. have become perfectly o1ious, through the misconduct of those who have worn them.-- They have even worn out the name of "whig," that vantured revolutionary title. And now they propose to take the name Of Union party. We protest, as lovers of the Union, against the appro pnatiou. The Union will be ruined in less than fifteen years, if the party which presume to set themselves up as its special friends and preseryers It IS in more danger from the present the whlgS are putting il than from any other cause, and If they love il we beg them to le! IL alone.

Ko.suth.s Protest.

Addressed o the Sabhms Porte.--The noble Hun garian patriot, Kossuth, now an exile m the Fur kish dominions has addressed 10 the Sublime Porte a long and eloquent protest dated kutahla, April 18th. 1881, recounting the wrongs he has suffered from the Turkish government at the instgation of Austria. He begins J by reminding inc Sublime Porte, how, after the downfall of his cause ia Hun gary he sought refuge in his dominions--was re- eeived with open auns--how the Sahllms Porte degned to open to him it's hospitable tent-entreai- ed him and his counEymea 10 cEoss the Tass,sh threshold swearing by it's God and its faith that 1t would grant them hospitality aud safe asylum how he had trusted 10 their honor, eat of their bread, and rep0st under thetr roof--hoY he and his companions blessed them, ofeted them theIr courage, experience, and everlasting graiitude--- how the IIungarlanS had kept their sacred wofd- how they had even. was witnessed in the late Bosnian revolt, been first in the fight. first ln the deadly breach, and first to lay down theIE lives for Turkey.
 But for all this what had they receivedl How had Turkey kept hr word How had she recoIieet< ed heT promises of hospitality Instead of hospital fly, she had gwen ihem prison. Instead Of an asylum, banlghment. Turkey had begged them to wait and have confidence in her until Austria could e-establlsh otder in her doDinions She had established order but Turkey still refused to let them 20. The Sublime Porte had begged them to wait year from the time they had entered the 0t- toman territory. They had waited year She then asks them to date the year from the tune oi the sentence 10 be transported to the nier or wss decfee1. They had waited. They were then in- duced to believe, that The Sublime Porte would hberate them on the anniversary of their arflsal at kutahla. That anniversary had arIsved out ag liberation.

Painting Hsnsrs.

Among other evidences of prosperity around Us, newly painted dwellings here and there may Dc seen, and asthere variety of fancies to please. l herewith attach some extracts on the subject. Being myself strong advocate for iss use. not only Tor beRatY and eheegfalness. but ecsnamg.
 A long article from correspondent of the New England Tanner. concludes thus;
 " 1he decidedly Superlog beauty of white houses in comparison fo coi0red ones, outweirhs all the arguments that can be brought sga,nst them; and hope that many, very many. will ere long be made to sec and acknowledge that they have sadly marrea the beauty of our New England villages, and apply that magic remedy--snhats psins--which will ttanstesn their dismal looking dwellings into beautiful abodea that will ever grcet both it's in mates and the passing stranger with a smile of weleome.'' swa
 The Editor says ;--"We are decidedly opposed 10 painting so many houses white, without any re- gard to size, the syle of building, the purpose of the building, the location, or the surrounding ob, jec's. The universal nge, that hss been in yeats past, for white, without any regard to circumS- tanceS, shows want 6f good taste, as much as white shows a want of any color"
 When there are many houses, as in . town or village, we would have variety of colors. We would not paint every building the same color. from the magnificent eharcaes down to the small schooihouse, and even the still smaller martin house. We woald not pant house of a dark color when # was almost wholly shaded with trees nor would we paint house white unless we had good lot of well arranged trees, some eveIgreenS, to break the glare of eoloreSS paint In some cases whte from it's glare and prominence, forms beautiful contrast with tue surrounding green foliage. The beauty IS in the contrast not in the white or the green.
 (" Some small houses might .eok pretty with warm llghtish tint that would be very improper for stately public ediGce; and some rather dark color might be appropriate fox the latter, which would give to the former an unsightly and soinbre appearance. Besides. the want of beauty in so much white painting, it is dear and transent To keep house well painted with white for course of years, will cost more than to eoored paints generally. Some colors cost more than white and others less; but cOlored paints are more durable.
 "H houses are painted vauous colors. without any regard to the circumstances which we have named, and various others that should be taken into consideration, then, indeed "J. w." and every one else, who travels about the country, or at home, has the disagreeable objects in his view, and has reason to complain This IS very nter- esiing subject in which too little good taste has been consulted, and we should be pleased te have opinions on it.'

strang. the Mormon Prophet.

Our readers will reccollect the recent arrest of Suaug, the Mormon Prophet, or King of Beaver Island, in Lake Huron, It appears that this man had actually assumed the insignia of royalty, had renounced the authority of the Federal Govern ment, and had constituted Beaver and the sur rounding islands his temporal kingdom. He had grand coronation, on which occasion he caused guns to be fired and flag to be raised in token of defiance to all nations. He even proclaimed to his deluded followers that it was right to plunder the GenuleS, and even to take their lives One of the nobles' recently made anaffdayt disclosing all the Prophets proceeding.
 Sirang had one ceremony which he called the covenant of the 'sIlluminati." The following par agraph the deponent quotes, word for word, from said covenant, as written and administered by said Strang:
 s'I do in the presence of God and these princes of the Iiumnati, solemnly promise, covenant and swear by the true, ever-liyng and selt-exlstng God, that hereby Tenounce all allegiance to every king prince, potentaie, president, governor and fuler on earth. l furthermore promise, covenant and swear, that l will obey James J. Srang as the imperial prmate and actual king on earth and the laws and decrees that he shall make above, and supersedIng all other l2wS of al! other power whatsoever. l further promise, covenant and swear that I will maintain, uphold and enforce said laws and decrees, against all other laws, so long life shall last. But should be so wicked, ungodiy and unhoy as to break this, my covenant, may God, the Eter nal Father, turn from me and remember his loving kindness no more May Jesus Christ, the Re- deemer, turn from me, and close the gates of hea- ven forever against me. With desires insaiiate, may 1 behold bliss and feel perditiou evermore."
 This IS not more than half the covenant. 4 Detroit paper says that Strang IS tall, well pro- portioned person, weighing about one hundred and seventy pounds, forty years old, with an open countenance indicating some cunning and shrewd- ness, but not very malicious character.

Valparaiso nearly Destroyed by ERrthquake- Great Destruction of Property q,,d Loss of Life

Great Destruction of Property and Loss of Life.
 The bng Juliet arrived at Panama from Valpa- raiso having left that port on the 7th April. Capt. Heavens,e whb came as passenger in her, states that terrible and destructive earthquake oc- cured there on the 3d April, which nearly des- xoyed the whole city. It lasted for about fifty seconds, when many of the buildings were thrown down and the whole city rocked violently. The first shock which was the severest causing the greatest destruction, occurred at o'clock in the morning of the 3d April, but successive shocks were felt for period of ten days doing some, but no great damage. CoaSteruatoa seized upon the people, who abandoned their homes and business and fled in all directions, n the midst of the terri ble excitment, expecting momentauty that the earth would open and engulph them.
 This IS he most destructive earthquake that has occurred in that portion of South America, since 1922 When the JulIet sailed the excitement had subsided and business had been resumed
