1t is needless to speak of the author. He
is well known throughout the entire South,
where be has spent the last nineteen or
twenty years of his life. He is prominent
divine, author, and controversialist, in
one of the most numerous and powerful re-
ligiouS denominations in the country. The
experience of his early life, spent In land
where the horrors of Popery can be seen
and felt, as well as feared and spoken of,
has forced him, for time, to abandon the
pulpit, and consecrate his energies to the
task of arresting the attention of his Ameri
can fellow citizens, and arousng them to q
sense of their danger.
The dedication of the work is appropri
pirate, and will enhance, in no small degree
its sale and circulation. The name of PREM
TIcE in the Southwest is a powerful charm
Of popularity. The dedication is in the fol
lowing words:

A Three Fold Cord not Easily
Broken.

The Republicans have had threc Of the
strongest political elements in the Union
arrayed against them in this election. Sla-
very, the national Administration, with the
Federal Treasury, and the Roman Catholic
Church. Could We have hoped Al the first
trial TO de feat such a combination TIE fir,t
secured 10 Buchanan, almost certainly, fl
teen States to Start upon; the second secured
an army of purchased Pierce officials. whose
only principles, in politics is pecunia:y re-
ward; and the third gave him drove of as
abiect slaves to priestly dictation, as ever
5lind!y followed ignorant and bigoted leaders
in the Crusades. What three elements can
be found of equal strength with Slavery MN
ey, and Bigotry! and vet over these the Re-
publicans have won a moral victory second
to none the world ever witnessed.
The same clements combined against US in
this country, would, in any other land than
our own, fill the prison with political otfen-
ders, and bring upon Us another ST. Bart1Dl-
omew massacre. Slavery frightened COW
ards at the North into Buchanan,s support.
Money tol-d its thousand of hireings up to
cast their votes for the man they serve, and
the lash of Priestly domination drove the
ignorant and deluded adherents ofa Church,
Ike cattle up to the ballot boxes.
Then let Republicans stand firm and BE-
of good courage. The iron of slavery will
vet enter the souls of Freemen until they
shall rise as sne man, and cowar!s become
brave; the influence Of Free Institutions
will emanei pate Roman Cathplics from the
thralldom which binds their bodies and souls
at the feet of ghos,g confessors, and they
shall learn the real meaning of civil and
religious liberty, and spurn the influence
which makes them political puppets.

"No snow falls lighter than the snow of age; but

The Miseries and Effects of Intem-
peranCc.

The following is :he most graphic delin
ea;ion Of the miseries and effects OF in:em-
perance that we have ever seer. 1t is from
the arguments advanced by certain citizens
of Portage county, Ohio, in a al to
the Legislature On the subject:
"And vet its march Of min is onward
still! 1t reaches abroad 10 others, invades
the family and social circles, sid spreads
woe and sorrov all around. Il cuts down
youth in its viyor, manhood in its strength,
and age in weakness. II breaks the fathers
heart, beresves the doating moih'r r, ex.in-
gushes natural affection. grasses conjugal
love, bluts out fIial attachment blights pa
rental hope, and brings down mourning age
in sorrow to the grave. 1t produces weak
ness, not strength; sickness, not health;
death, not life. 1t makes wives widows,
children orphans, futhers fehd5, aud all OF
them paupers und beggars.
Ii halls ferers, feeds rheumatism.
nurses gout. welcomes epiiemics, invites
cholera, imparts pestllence, and embraces
consump:ions. II covers the land with idle
ness, poverty, disease, and crime. i. fills
your jals, supplies your alms-houses. aid
demands your asylums. 1t engenders con-
troversies, fosters quarrels, and chershes
riots. 1t contemns law, spurns order, and
loves mobs. 1t crowds your penitentiaries
and furnishes the victims for your scaffolds
1t is the li(e-biood of the gambler, the ali
ment OF the counterfeiter, the prop OF the
highwaynsn, and the support of the mid
night incendiary. II countenances the liar,
respects the thief, and esteens the bias
phemer. II violates obligations, reverences
fraud, and honors infamy. 1t defames be-
nevolence, hates love, scorns virtue, and
ISLANDERS innocence. 1t incites the father to
butcher his ohs?ring, helps the husband to
massacre his wife, and aids the child to grind
his parricidal axe. 1t burns up man, con-
sumes woman, detests life, curses God, and
despises Heaven. 1t suborns witnesses,
nurses perjury, defles the jury-box, and
Stains the Judicial ermne. II bribes vuters,
disqua lifies voters, corrupts elections, poll
lutes our institutions, and endangers our
Government. 1t degrades the citizen, de-
bases the legislator, dishopors the states
man, and dissrms the patriot. 1t brings
shame, not honor; terror, not safety; des-
pair, not hope: misery, not happiness. And
now, as With the malevolence of fend, it
calmly surveys its frightful desolations, and !,
insatiate with havoc, it posons felicity, kills
peace, ruins morals, blights confidence, slays
reputation, and wipes out national honor,
then curses the world and laughs at it's
ruin"

here-enough punishment that the magni-
ficent drama of the Revo uton was played
out, independent of one who had enacted so
splendid part in the earlier acts.
These three Old wooden houses are the
visible remains OF three vigorous lives-in
them to the musing eye the spirits Of Gates,
and Lee. and Stephen hover around them
still, speaking in every wh isper of the pine
tees and the oaks-those ancient oaks or
the noble, English looking "chase," which
murmur yonder beneath ewindow-through
whose heightened vista appears the lone
mansion Of General Adam Stephen. Here,
within gun-shot almost of each other,
these men of history reposed--though not
happily, we must onclude-after all their
struggles. The current of the Opequon,
resonant in old days with savage shouts and
dyed with blood, murmured by them; and
perhaps spoke to their minds of other days
typifying human things which ever bud and
