The literary echo. (Westerly, R.I.) 1851-1851, 1851-08-14

OUR OWN CoNsEQUENCE.--We think of
our own consequence, our talents, our at
tainments. We think what breach will be
made when We die. We think of the
mourners who will gather around us with
broken hearts. We think of the solemn,
sad procession that will 60 with us to the
tomb, forgetting how seldom it is that the
hearts of any considerable proportion in
funeral procession are serious and solemn
at all, or care any thing about the dead.
We look at our own affairs and press them
forward, as if every thing else should give
way to them, and as if the world had no
interests so great that they may be requir-
ed to yield to our convenience.
Now, how contrary all this is to truth
and reality, it is hardly necessary to at
tempt to show. Few will care about it at
all when We die s.; and the world at large
will care nothing, and know nothing about
it. A very little circle of friends will be
afflicted-as little circle ofwater is agi-
tated, when drop of rain drops into the
ocean. At the centre of that small circle
of friends, there will be some deep emp
ton. and some tears of genuine grief shed;
at very little distance emotion will be fain-
ter and feebler; at point but little
more remote there will be none and soon,
very soon, all the agitation there was will
have died away, as when the little drops
of rain fall into the ocean. DR., Barnes.

Dr. Ellis the Editor of the Abolition Statesman talks
about Democratic principles, with the huency that
the devil breaches righteousness He is dead against
all issues. This is modest indeed when with the
breath he insists that man is democrat who is
not for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law anu oppos
ed to the compromise measures, ant in favor of inter-
nal improvements by the General Government. Are
these not new issues Last summer he contended the

Cass, but abandoned his platform because it

think the Democrats of Indiana will think so, and
doubt whether his friend CARRIER will 90 far with
