boling-alley, albeit the old gentlemen are
very expert, and consider it most exciting
sport. We had rather step out and see the
Sons of Temperance pass, or the Sunday
school procession, or the train rush by with
the shrill scream of its imprisoned spirit,
with its passengers from every land, and its
morning papers coming two hundred miles
tc confirm the advance of -four that we knew
by telegraph many. hours before And if
our opponents insis. that we have no right
to do anything except to keep that game oe
nlne-pins we cannot entertain the least re-
spect for their opinions.
Indeed, it has seemed to us the mission
of this Republic is to cover the political thco-
rist and the believer in historical analogies
with confusion of face
But in the life of nation every day has
its issue. New questions must arise They
have arisen. Shall we be excluded from
their consideration.
Should the United States consent to re-
ciprocal trade with Canada ! Have we a
right to participate in the British fisheries?
Should the navigation of the st. Law
renee, like that Of the Mississippi, be free
to the producers who inhabit its head wa
ters?
Ought we to take the tripartite pledge
never to acquire another foot Of land upon
this continent! Ought the Monroe doctrine
to be maintained!
Ought we to unite on co-protectorate or
copartnership upon Isthniian America?
Should the great railroad to the Pacific
be constructed with the common means
for the common benefit!
Such questions as these must be met 1t
is the duty of all men to form and express
opinions in regard to them.
But VIC cannot abandon Wing principles,
for they are the same which have inspired
the patriot of every age to resist power and
to expose wrong, to promote such moral and
physical improvements as will bring all men
to high standard Of intelligent and virtu-
Gus equality.
To give protection to the weak. employ
ment to the poor, knowledge to the 'ignor-
ant.
TO hail increasing numbers aud expand
ing territory as the fruits of prosperity, un-
less the numbers be the menials of bieotry,
or the territory shall be bought with the
sacrifices of our own honor or the rights
of others. Subject to these limitations, we
have duty to perform in discussing such
questions as may arise, and We shall fearless
ly and impartially do so, comparatively
careless Of the associates or opponent whom
we may encounter

Ears, Stowe.

We clip the following from the Albany
Evening Journal, one of the most prominent
Abolition prints in the State Of New York.
1t seems from this that even the most en-
thusias;ic admirers of Uncle Toms Cabin
ase not altogether pleased with the manner
in which the authoress has conducted her
self in England:
1--WE hope, for the credit of the country,
not less than for her own self-respect, that
Mrs. Stowe has not received gratuities, in
money, from Englishmen. 1t cannot be
that lady whose position places her above
such temptation, would thus compromise
this position. The $3.50 gift at Liverpool.
will. we are persuaded, be explained. Mrs.
Stowe cannot have gone abroad for aims.
z. S.--We find the following in 4 Liver
pool paper, after the writing as above. Mrs.
Stowe went to the Charitable Institution
House to receive contribution of pence :"
II is mortifying to see person who stands
so high, stoop so low
AT meeting held in the Charitable In
sttu.ion House, Slater street. on Wednes-
day morning, Mrs. Stowe was presented
with a purse containing Gl30, which had
been collected in this town by small contri-
buttons, principally pence, by a committee
of ladies, great number Of whom were

RcY. DIR. ENing.

We understand that the following is the
position of DIR. Kings case
"The Hon. W. Marsh our ambassador at
Constantinople. was sent last summer to
Athens, as our readers know, to examine
the whole affair. both as to the piece of land
which the Greek Government had taken
from DR.. King without indemnifcation, and
his imprisonment on account of his mission
ary labors. After having examined the case,
Mr.. Marsh transmitted his report to Mr..
Webster, late Secretary of State. 1t con-
sisted of two hundred folseap pages, and ar
rived just before Mr.. Webster was taken i'll
with what proved to be his last sickness
OF course Mr.. w. could not give his atten-
ton to the matter. As soon as practicable
after entering upon his Office, Mr. Everett
took up Mr.. Marsh's report, and gave it a
thorough investigation. His decision has
been transmitted to Mr.. Marsh, who had
waited for it, spending his time in the north
of Italy, at the baths, and in Austria, for the
health of his wife, Mr. Marsh has been di-
rected to go back in the frigate Cumberland
to Athens, and there arrange the difficulty
according to his instructions. What those
instructions are we cannot, of course say
but it is believed that they are such as will
bring about the adjustment of the difficulty
in a way that will secure to DIR. King his
rights, and protect him in the same in the fu.
ture. ". Y. Journal Of Commerce.

THE sEAMsTREsS' PRAYER.

Within garret, blank and bare
A female form was kneeling,
While down her care -bewrinkled cheek
The scalding tears were stealing;
Her bright blue eye had bloodshot grown
With long fatigue and weeping,
For she was doom'd to work and work,
While happier hearts were sleeping.
She gazed upon fhe mattress cold,
On which her babe was lying,
AS fearing to disturb its rest
She hushed her hearts sad signing;
And ever an anon her eyes
To heaven above were straying;
At length she raised her suppliant hands
l listened to her praying.
Father of mercy! Thou can see
The world is harsh, expressing;
But Thou, o, Lord! denies to none
Who fitly ask thy blessing.
| ask it, then, upon my child,
Heir but to want and SORROW;
In mercy take her hence, o, God!
Nor let her see tomorrow.
OH mad ming thoughts fly thro' my brain,
Assuagc this burning anguish,
0. hear me for my infants sake,
Long doom'd in want to languish,
'Twere better far to dwell with thee,
Where gold buys no admittance,
Than toll and toll from day to day,
And starve on labors plttance.
