The IntsHisencsr, in an elaborate article,
regrets most forcibly and eloquently the prev
alsnce Of sectional animosity among as, and
quotes from both Northern and Southern
speeches and newspaper articles to prov that
it is being carried to the point of popular in
sanity in some quarters.
The Union grows merry over the result of
" shrieking for freedom" in Congress, as Illus
trsted in the recent Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana elections. The editor ccmmisserates
the twenty four now shriekless shriekers who
have been turned out of their seats in the
House of Representatives by indignant con-
stituencies The Union also republishes the
:, ~ tsunts and biting sarcasms of the New

mont, is not less true. They did form the
staple Of many Of the most effective comments
Of the Democratic speakers in Pennsylva nia,
because all written of him in those biographies
that was true went to prove, incontestibly,
that be is wholly unfit to be made the Presi-
dent Of the United States; while what they
contained that was untrue, was easily proved
to be so. As his biOgraphers strove to mako
him appear, he is by no means the man to he
entrusted with the destinies of the United
States; and all patriotic and sensible persons
in Pennsylvania quickly comprehended the
fact under the comments upon the biographies
in question made by the orators on the Demo
cratic side
Candid. il una niabls.-The New York
Herald Of Sunday is an amusing Journal
very. 1t gives up the contest fully, fairly,
and squarely, announcing that after the result
OF the recent Indiana and Pennsylvania State
elections no combinations that the Fremonters
and Fillmourners can make, can by any posi-
bility prevent Buchanan and Breckinridge
from receiving clear majority Of all the cleo
toral votes! This is candid, to say the least
ont. But in the same article Mr. Fremoni's
Minister-to France-in expectancy charges that
the defeat of his cause in Indiana and Penn
sylvania is faily attributable to secret treach-
cry on tho part of Senator Seward, Thurlow
Weed and their friends-how, he explains
He also contends that Mr.. Fillmore and his
friends in those States are laboring actively
with the view Of electing Mr.. Buchanan, and
that they labored only to that end in tho re

The Truth in o Nutshell.

A Tennessee correspondent, in . private
letter thus eloquently describes the influence
Of Intemperance upon the Religious, Educa-
tional aud Patriotic interests of our Nation.
He says-'If we look to the Church, we sec
the effect of the horrid liquor traffic upon
MANY congregations. Religion stands over
her wasted flames and polluted shrines, and
with fearful uplifted eye towards Heaven,
points to the distant but rising star of Prohibi-
ton now emerging above the Eastern hori-
zon, and with earnest voice prays for it's uni
versal prevalence.
If we turn our eye to the Educational in
terests of society, we see the fires of intern
perance kindled in our institutions of learn.
ing, and the young hopes of genius lie mould
dering in it's ashes.
Then to look upon our Country, we see th'
black clouds of Intemperance hanging gloom
lily over the affairs of our patriotism-ovel
our Federal Capitol and we see its blight
ing effect in every phase Of political warfare
Verify, nothing but Prohibition will save U
from becoming a besotted Nation"

Important Foreign News.

The last foreign news is'very important.
The relations between this county and En-
gland are evidently in a most critical condi-
ton, and it was asserted that Mr.. Buchanan
had demanded his pastors. The tone of the
English press generally is minacious and in
sulting towards this country, which is inmar-
ked contrast with the friendly feeling man.
ifested by the commercial classes and the
people. The peace negotiations appear to
be progressing favorably. There has been a
considerable decline in breadstuffs. There i.
no news Of the Pacific by this arrival.
Since the above was written the n. Y. Com.
mersion Advertiser states upon the authori-
ty of gentleman, a passenger by the last
steamer, who saw Mr.. Buchanan ON the eve
of his departure, that all points of difficulty
were in 8 fair way of adjustment, and that
they would be settled in a few days.
LATEST FOREIGN NAws.-The Steamship
America arrived on the Both, bringing one
weeks later news. The excitement about .
war between the United States and England
seems to be considerably checked-the an.
pointinent of Mr.. Dallas as our Ministe,
seems to have quieted the fears entertained
on the subject. Ne news of the Pacific.
The Peace negotiations between Russis
and the Allies are said to be quietly pre-
crossing.

and we hope the efsrt will be made, at least,
to induce him to do so. What is done should
be done speedily, as the time for his visit to
Richmond is near at hand.
ARd just here we are afforded a good op-
portunity of reminding the friends Of Litera-
ture and Science of the urgent demand tina,
exists in this community for the establish

We have conversed with some gentlemen
recently, well qualified to deliver popula

such an Institution here, at the same tim
pledging themselves to contribute by al
means in their power for its interest and ad

Redeem the Time.

The past winter has been qsite unfavorA-
BILE for temperance efforts and demonstra-
tions. This is especially true as regards
the rural districts, where Divisions have been
but sparsely attended, owing to theFeTerffS@
OF the weather preventing members, who
live at some distance from their Division
rooms, from attending. Those who OPPOSE
US rejoice at this and take it as a sign Of our
failing in our noble enterprise. Let us dis
appoint them. Let us reasaure them that
peace has not yet been declared-that we
still wage war against the tyrant rum and
Its minions. The demon of intsmperance has
not been idle through all this dreary winter
ne has been plying his engines Of dsstruction
against homes and happiness. The dead
have not been rsported-nsvs have not been
given, yet he has stormed a thousand Balak-
laVas and q Crimean carnage reddens the
SHOWS of a thousand hills. His winter cam
paign has been the most fearful, and be La
left a wide wake of desolation across the land
we all so dearly lsve. The temperance hest
has been almost idle; here and there We
hear OF o slight scrimmage, and early in the
winter some hard blows were struck BY our
gallant General, but no general war has been
waged. The spoiler has marched forth slay-
Ing and staying strong men and feeble until
he hourishes his black fag in triumph over
his Internal achievements A most terrible
record OF his desolations could be written
of homes dsspoiled-of circles broken-of

The Preachers Brandy.

Rev. c., well known 10 many Of our
readers, was, during the hrsi year. Of his
ministry, engaged in making brandy. That
was many years ago, when few people had
thought it wrong to make or sell the article.
Having a quantity on hand, he concluded to
loadhis wagon Andhaul it to the eastern coun-
ties for sale. In the county Of -, he camo
to . store where were assembled . number Of
quiet, orderly men. He sold one barrel to the
proprietor of the store and wenton. In afer
days he returned or his w,yhome. Approach
ing the store, he saw a number Of disorderly
men engaged in q general melee, eursing and
swearing and making preparation for fight.
He found them more or les. intoxicated, some
on the ground and others Keeling hither and
thither. What a change in these people,
thought the Preacher. He went in the store
and saw the proprietor drawing and selling
brandy from the identical barrel he had sold
him only q few days before! The dsmning
character Of the traffic forced itself upon the
mind of the Preacher. He saw that he, .
minister of God, was the chief agent in pro-
dueing all this crime. That he, a messenger
Of q peace and good viii to men," was SOW
ing the seeds Of discord and death among
the people. He was convinced. He went
home, destroyed his d~istillery and quit the
infamous business.
2 Here was an example worthy of imitation /;
but there are many that would not profit by
it. Members of Rev. C's church ale
engaged to-day in the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquors. They fear 10 look.
lest they see. If they see a man drunken.
they do not stop to inquire if the liquor came
from their tub. If they hear Of a man drink
ing and freezing, they dare not suppose the

ROMANCE AND REALITY.-The Sasdusky
Register narrates the following affecting
story:
In the Lunatic Asylum at Columbus is q
pair Of insane lovers. Mental anxiety Of q
peculiar character is supposed to have de-
ranged the intellect of the young man, who
was sent to the Asylum some time ago, cured,
it was hoped permanently, and sent home.
While at home he fell deeply in love with
q young girl, who returned his devotion, and
they became tenderly attached to each other.
But, u~uhappily, the malady returned upon
the young man he was separated from the
subject of his love, and sent back to the Asy-
lum. Left to herself, to muse upon her
bereavement, and the sad destiny Of her low
or, the mind of the girl became also affected,
almost, as it might seem from sympathy
and it was not long before she, toe. was i'm
INJURED within the walls which sheltered him.
They are both there now. Occasionally they
seem to have recovered their reason, and are
permitted to hold interviews with one anoth-
or. In one of these, the poor girl begged
her lover to marry her, but he replied with
a melancholy real enought to bring tears from
the listeners You know that we cannot be
married, Ellen; we are unfit for that happi.
ness-poor, unfortunate creatures that We
are!'
