under this Wanted lnw. ,l'ho spirit ot.
mischief is working with fearful ener.i
gy. Agitation still goes on with
ceaseless activity. Every clement
which can be made to operute on
public opinion is put in action against
our institutions. Even that powerful
weapon, the literature of the country.
is employed to direct its polished hut
poisoned shafts against them. 1t is
true tl.at nothing has bccm done by
Congress, since your last Session,
against which We cum complain
Judging, however, from the elements
which arc ut wolk, and from The histo.
ry of the past, we cannot hope that
this cessation from hostile nets
against our institutions will be of long
duration. Amid nll our prosperity,
and the still .grcntcr prosperity which
VIC would enjoy If left alone, the heart
sickens at the contemplation of that
fierce fannticism which is ut work, and
which h .ngs like pail upon our fiji
turc.
However strong may be my con-
victions rs to the propricty of an at-
tempt to stay the coming storm by
the separate action of the State; ald
however deeply may dcplorc the de-
cisi"n to which our people have come
upon this subject, God forbid that
should fin into fame the expiring
c'nbcrs of party strif', by now recon-
mcndmg it to yuu. Our destiny, for
veal or for woe, is connected with the
" ole South. Further nggrcssons
(Which will surely comc) will convince
our sister Southern States tlut the
institution upon which not only the
prosperity of The South, but Rcpubli-
canism itself depends, is no longer
safe in the Union. Then we may
hope that they will rise in the majcs-
ty Of their strength and spirit, and, in
conjunction with us, either force our
rights TO he respected in the Union, or
take our place rs n Southern Contcd-
cracy amongst the nations of the earth.
In the mcaEtimc, let us unite, heart
and hand, in carrying out those great
schemes of internal Improvement. by
which the wealth and resources of our
State will be developed, and thus give
it all the power and strength of which
it is capable

OF wreck and ruin took place such as

passenger car, which was filled with
passengers, and among them many Ia

against the wearing of boards, and inf
our own country, rs we learn, hostile
demonstrations have been mnde by
certain stump orators against the cultis.

rIcan ornaments. The Queen of Spain
has reduced her full bearded subjects
from royal consort down TO the mean

lest dimensions, and an imperia! de-.
cree, issued from Vienna, has left the
subjects of the Austrian Emperor with
| smooth faces.
We mus. confess q slight peacaaat
for a full and flowing beard unless the
quality ofBirmingham cutlery (so-call-#
cd) should meet with a decided im-t
provcmcnt. "Sharp razors or long
boards " such is our motto. We must
confess we feel our beard and our lin
both curling when we hear some bray-
