Tom cOrwin on the Dangers Of The Country.

=
In his speech al Carthage Mr.. Corwin's
a!lusion 10 the dangers which environed the
Republic and the Union, in the present Pres
idential strife, was very touching. The fol-
lowing extract is worthy OF petusal especially
by those who affect idle indifference, If not
contempt, of all intimations Of peril 10 the
Union. Mr.. Coruin said:
Fam not electoneering, gentlemen, for any
body whatever, and whoever is elected sha II
acknowledge him as President of the United
States, aud and him in carrying on the legit-
mate purposes Of his government; but do say
that atno period in The hisiuiy OF this Republic,
since peace ard tranquility were restored 10
its borders, alser tue terrible revolutionary
struggle. has there been so much frighiful ap-
prehension in the minds of The American
people, of some vague and entire disruption
OF The bonds which holds this Union iogeth-

may fancy holding up their hands 10 US q
thousand years inihe future, and appealing to
us by The blood Of our fathers, if you will ID
an act which, by any possibility, may impeti
the existence Of this Republic. Give no heed
to the men who sneer when you tell them the
Republic may be 6es,royed--to the men who

when they say the Norlhs in a majority, and

with the history Of the past Transactions o

are too free in spirit 10 bear oppression, real
or imaginary. -
They will fight. You may trample on then
il you will, but If they believe themselves,
however enormously, 10 be injured, they will
bring you 10 conflict; and when that comes,

There is no book so instructive as a newspa.
per; no knowledge so necessary to be acquired
that which may be cleaned from its columns,
and acquired with half much facility. 1t is
not only the vehicle of the cheapest and most

means OF interesting, informing or pleasing al.
most every member of the family, especially
where they live in the country, and see and
hear little that is new. In the course of year,
well conducted paper conveys information on
almost every subject, or at least excites curiosity
and inquiry all subjects. To know what is
nearest to US in time and space, it is most ne.
cessary, most pleasing and me st instructive and
this kind Of knowledge can only be obtained
from newspapers. We would venture to affirm
that that there never was, and never will be. in
a country situation. ignorant family who
took daily newspaper. Let any parent teach
his children to read and then subscribe to a
daily paper, and it is impossible that his family
should not IN time become well informed, pro-
vided they live sufficiently secluded, to be
thrown upon the paper a source of amuse.

In rainy weather, steal up to a newspaper read

and put it down. The next time probably, he
VIII become bolder, and get through "a Horri.
BILE Murder" Soon he will read short tales of
fiction; then just before election time, he begins
to peep into politics and even read political
speeches Last OF all, he attacks the foreign
news. By this time his curiosity on most sub
Jects is excited, and overcomes his aversion and
fear OF books, and he is turned out to become a
reading and well informed man. 1t is strange
that any family, as a measure of economy should
be without newspaper. Children see tho
