At the close Of the Sundays editorial, the
following hit is made at the ertremes"-and
the sectional controversy at the South" sub.
jected to the FooTE g. Co.'s Interpretation thus
"The sectional controversy in the South grew
out Of the extreme measures proposed BY the
Nashville convention, the object OF which was TO
deny the obligations created BY the Compromise,
and TO organize power sufficiently strong to
force Congress to retrace its steps, or TO witness
a dissolution Of the Union and the formation Of
Southern confederacy. This was the project
Of Mr.. Cheves. At the North Reorganization
equally fatal TO the preservation Of our iustitu-
tisns was encouraged by the party which claimed
that the fugitive slave law was sin aud re-
prosch to ths people, and should not be executed.
Ia respect 70 these nltrsisms, the position Of the
Washington Unioa has been that Of firm and
steady opposition, treating them as errors which
must be corrected, and which the Democratic
party would correct in the saue manner that il
has those Of similar danger in the p1egious his.

The Head, not the Heart, Changed.

The change of editors, il seems after all, makes
no change 10 the conduct of the Union. That
paper says so in Sundays issue. In addition
10 its leading editorial, which afirms its perss-
tence in its policy, its New York letter is dc.
voted in great part TO a Misrepresentation OF
the State of South Carolina, and of the doctrines
she as well as her Southern sisters now hold
on the subject of the right Of secession. Speak
ing of the recent action Of her convention as a
guaranty Of her allegiance" the writer puts
forth this abominable and slayish sentiment
which makes it treason 10 imagine The dissolution
Of the onion"
"SCCH HAS BEEN THE FAITH OF EVERY TRUE
HEARTED AMERIcAs-oF ALL WHO HOLD, AsALL

THE DISSOLUTION OF THE USroN, AS IN GREA1
Britain IT Is TREASON TO IMAGINE THE DEAIF

The analogy he draws is an apt one. No re-
public could furnish a parallel. The diviu,
right of Kings, the higher law Of monarche,
alone, could present one.
We referred TO the Unions statement that !
had not changed its policy. There seems t.

thought IN my school boy days, forsooIb,
That the clock was living thing,
That il had tongue that would speak the
Truth,
To tell its tales upon trnant youth,
In the book hiding days Of spring
And peeped with fear on its charac,ered
face,
To watch the spirit within,
That was running its round with ceaseless
race,
And beating The time with miniature
mace,
As if overjoyed at the din.
I marked its voice when the dear ones
As il licked TO their lates. breath,
And, when they passed to the bonnie un-
tried,
Il seemed to follow, with nnmeasured stride,
Their spirit, after death.
How it rung and echoed my marriage
chime,
On that merrest summer morn,
When the skies were brighter than eastern
cline,
And hearts beat fas, for the coming time,
And the future yet unborn
And when, mid storm and midnigh, wild,
On the dark and moaning earth,
There came TO our love fair-haired child
its monitor face beamed brightly, and
smiled,
To mark the momen, of birth.
Thou ar, old, but | love thy very decay,
AS thou sittest an ancient mime,
On thy wooden seat near The kitchen way,
When, for many year and many day,
They have come to ask thee ''the time ~
Keep time, old horologe, till ago
Shall close thy masters eye;
And when thou art left in the latest stage,
To lremble alone, mid the elements rage
Oh, then run doun-and die.
