Prophecy of Clay.

Both Clay and Calhoun foresaw the lament
able conclusion which parties in this county
have now reached, and predicted Disunion as
the inevitable result Of such state of affairs.
Mr.. Clay, ia his speech in the Senate, Feb
ruaEy7, 1889, thus dagueTreotyped the very
aspect of affairs in the year 1856:
"Sr," said Mr.. Clay, "T am not in the habit
Of speaking lightly OF the possibility Of diSsolv-
ing this happy Union. The Senate know that
have deprecated illusions, on ordinary occa-
SionS, to tina, dire(ul event. The country will
testify that, If there be anything in the history
Of my public ca reer worthy of recollection, it
is the ruth and sincerity of my ardent devotion
10 is lasting preservation. But We should be
false in our allegiance 70 it, il we did not dis
eliminate between the imaginary and real dam
gers by which II may be aSsailed. AbolilioniSm
should no more 5e regarded as imaginary dan
ger. The AbolltioniSts, let me suppose, sucL
ceed IN their present aim, OF uniting The in
habitants of the free States, as one man,
against the inhabiantS Of the slave States.-
Union on our side will beget union on the
other, and this process Of rec iprocal consolda-
ton will be attended BY all the violent preiu-
dice, embttered passions, and mplecable an
imosi,leS. which ever degraded or de(ormed
human nature. One section will
stand in menacing and hostile array againSt,hs
other. The collision Of opinion will be quickly
followed by the clash Of arms. will not al
tempt to describe scenes which now happily
lie concealed from our view. Aboltionists
themselves would shrink back in dismay and
horror at the contemplation of desolaed fields,
conflagrateG cities, murdered inhabitants, and
the overthrow Of the lairest fabric of human
government that ever rose 10 an innate the hopes
OF civilized man."

BAsHFUL MEN.
by Mns. MARY A. pESNlsON.


We never yet saw genuinely bashful man
who was not the soul Of honor. Though such

There are fine touches in their Characters

tlons as de elicale as the Gantest tint 10 10 the

less refined and beautiful that they do not flow

Politics in New Yark.

We have no doubt that the Democratic
union will be consummated in New York, and
that but one Buchanan and Breckinridge elec-
toral ticket will be run in the State. The
New York Neoes, the organ Of the HaIds, ad-
vises their committee 10 reconsider and change
the time Of the Hard Stale Convention from
the 9Th of August to the 30th Of July. The
NeDs says:
Fellow DemocratS, we must have q union
ticket this fall; we must carry New York State
for Buchanan and Brecknridge, and We mus:
have Democratic Governor and Legislature.
We are willing TO concede the point as 20 the
day, and change back 10 the 30lh July.

Rave They Any Hope of Success :?

While great many of the lesser lights Of
the Republican party are jubilant over the
nomination Of Fremont. and profess sanguine
hopes Of achieving most overwhelming victo.

of the party canno! delude itself into belief
that the chances in favor of the ticket afford
any reasonable assurance Of its election
Greedy was present at the Convention, and
understands how deeply dissatisfaction pre-.
walls in his heterogeneous party. The Til
June says:
We do, not enter upon the contest before us
in any spirit Of overwhe lining confidence
We admit that the apparent odds are greatly in
favor of our GdverSaTles. We realize the Oh
stacies thrown in the way Of our success by
the existence and peculiaritieS Of the 'Ameri-
cam organization. We know that all The
voles of all The slave States but Missouri and
Delaware, with probably these also, will be
thrown for either Buchanan or FIlmore-mos
of Them for the former. We feel that the pos
session of the government, with the diSbuTse.
mentS Of lbe millions constantly flowing from
the treasury, weighs heavily in favor Of the
Cincinnati nominees. We are prepared tC
hear that several emnently respectable, dis
liuguished and wealthy citizens, who have
hitherto voted mainly with US, when they yo
ted al all, will nov refuse to. support thI
Philadelphia nominations. But we know tha
our standard bearer has hitherto encountete,
aud vanquished greater odds than these.

A Religion for Here Taste.

There is class of minds that contemplate
religion chiefly as matter of taste. Political
and imaginative, they see everything through
The golden haze Of fancy. They talk much Of
ihe religious sentiment, aud appeal TO the
feeling OF mortal beauty as the pc persuasive to
virtue. We confess ,he charm Of their wrl-
tings, and often lnger over their pages. But,
after all what do We find ia The brilliant riiap-
sodiess 1t i The spiH: ofpoelry, which sIlyeTs
the world with moon light, beautiful, bul cold.
Such reveries may !ascinste the mind in lis
dreamy moods; but they cannot conquer The
stormy passions, nor subdue The terrified de-
prayity Of human soul. Its astonishing how
little practicIe power religion has which de-
peudS sn art, on painting and music, aud ca
thedrals. Sentiments Of beauty have their
place IN the worship OF God. They may al
iract to the porch Of The temple, but when We
enter and become really Interested, these
slight emotions give place 10 deeper feelings.
Then we ate mol merely creatures OF taste, but
guilty and wretched beings coming 10 God for
mercy and salvation; no preaching can be re-
ally powerful which does not touch these
mighty chords OF the human soul. No man
ever preached with great effect who did not
feel that religion was something more than
beautiful. and tha! life was more han thea
Ter for acting, or for he display Of sensiblity'
No man can preach with power who does not
feel thai existence is unutterabIy solemn; that
ii is probation for eternity, and that he and
his hearers are passing to the trlbunal OF God
No;hing keeps The faculties of man situug tc
such intense action aS tie conviction thai he
must give strict account 10 his Maker-i
feeling such intense as is expressed in the sub
lime hymn Of Wesley, which sllrs the SPIN
