az CANT Do IT."-What volume of
human misery is unfolded in that short
sentence? What mighty efforts of I'M
developed genius are chained by this
conclusion of dependency, when a bar
rier chooses to interpose the onward
progress Of the will, and sometimes of
mere human volition What domestic
happiness: what downward marches to-
wards the gloSmy and solitary abodes of
poverty what anxious solicitude that
fills the breast of the dependent wife /;
what ardent wrestlings with the demon
of despair what social wretchedness :;
what deep, painful anxiety: what ma
tional evils are all depicted in the spirit
of that expression, l. is the language
only of the self-wretched the determi-
nation of the weak and imbecile. 1t is
the voice of the moral coward, who,
standing upon the shore of some desert
island, in the stormy ocean of life, and
looking out upon the pillows strewn with
the wrecks of earthly grandeur and hu-
man happiness, is so blinded by fear,
that he cannot see the CLEAN Of hope
that fickers amid the surrounding gloom.
1t is the artiulated feeling of the travel
Ter of the desert, who. having gained an
eminence, sees nothing but barren plain
before him, thirst parching his tongue,
and WEAKNESS subduing his strength.
But shall he lie down without hope g.
Nay-let him press forward, make bat one
effort-a green oasis will meet his vision:
cool stream will bubble up from some
unforeseen fountain, and he will reach his
journeys end crowned with the rich re-
wards of perseverance.
"Can you storm that battery 2" was
the question put by the Commanding
General to Miller, when the British had
possession of it. "I'll try" was the re-
ply, and the effort was successful. Man
is unconquerable when he stands upon
the right of man"

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Inteaigencsr, by way Of posting its
readers upon actual occurrences at this
point, quotes literally, to-day, from the
Washington correspondence of various
papers, information concerning various
treaties of this Government in esse and
posse. The Intslligsneer also presents
facts to show that the Union is wholly
wrong in intimating that the recent Iowa
election involved n Nebraska bill triumph.
The Union calls the absent congress
sional friends of the Nebraska bill back
to Washington, in accordance with Mr..
Richardson's notice. The editor also re-
cords Senator Slidell's Cuban movement,
and quotes literally from the st. Louis
Methodist Advocate, rebuking the clerical
dictators of the duty of the Senate of the
United States On the Nebraska question.
The Sentinel discusses Senator Slidell's
movement, explaining that our neutrality
laws form no part of the law of nations.
The Sentinel, in noticing the contents of a
recent number of the Pennsylvania, takes
occasion to give John W. Forney 'sinde-
pendent support" through inuendoes.

ANOTHER VICTIM OF SPIRITUALIsx-

ANOTHER VICTIM OF SPIRITUALIsM-
SUICIDE IN LAwKENCzs-The se-called
spiritual manifestations, or more proper
ly speaking, :delusions, have already
victimised many we'll disposed. but very
weak minded persons, who became so
infatuated and deluded by the mysterious
phenomenon and its unchristian, fallacious
and ridiculous teachings, that they are
actually tempted and driven oftentimes
to the commission Of suicide, in order to
more fully realise the happiness in the
spirit land of their delusive dreams. 1t
is only the parents and relatives OF the
unfortunate victims of this destructive
mental and physical delusive phantom,
