mined to repeal the present PrOhiCitOry Lao OF
Dela,Oare. Do they care about constitutional
ty! Do they have such great regard for caO''
liberty as they pretend? No! 1t is not that
which is urging them onward to the work OF
repeal. They do not have so great fear that
the passage of the Prohbtory Law is a blow
struck at our liberties! No! They only know
that it deprives them of the privilege of grow
ing rich upon the ruin of their felow-man, and
therefore they have declared that it shall be
repealed!
Well, these men-Such men as theSe--have
raised the banner of rum, and under it they in
tend to fight during this campaign, as Re-
pealers." But we do not believe they will effect
its repeal. We do not believe the people of
this State desire it. The cause of temperance
is not-cannot be--destined for such defeat
We rather believe that it will yet spread over
all the States of our confederacy-thatt the en-
pire of Alcohol will yet be destroyed, and the
path of the inebrate lie waste and deselate,
while the road of temperance shall be crowded
with the reformed and reclaimed. And, des-
tined to extend over the earth, there shall be
no pause in the progress of this grand, this glo-
rieus movement; but ever following us as it
descends the track of ages, shall witness the
grandeur of its struggles, and the glory Of its
| triumphs over the decimated phalanx of liquor
dealers, until the record of full one-half the
worlds inhabitants rescued from death and
emancipated from the slavery of intemperance,
shall encircle the banner of Prohibition with a
halo of glory, and tell the story of the ultimate
triumph of the temperance cause!
This is our BELIEF! 1t may be, however, that
these thirsters for the ruin of their fellow-men
will effect the repeal of the law. Ifthey do
if they elect such men as will do it for them
all we have to say to them is, go home to your
families after the day of the election, and tell
your wives and children that you have repealed
this law for which they have so long and earn
estly prayed, and paralyzed forever its power
Tell them that this bulwark of their happiness
you have razed to it's foundations, and tina
henceforth when the tide of intemperanct
breaks forth, there shall be nothing to ward OF
destruction. Tell them that you have demol
ished the fabric reared at the expense of year
of toll, and left the blackness of ashes to mari
S where it stood. Tell them that you have ex
t tinguished one of the grandest lights that eve
a threw its full and cheering beam upon the dar

Handwriting,

The handwriting of most persons varies
with the progress of life, and continues to
change till the character of the individual is
formed when it remains pretty fixed for the
remainder of life The character of the rene
rallty Of persons is said to be formed by the
time they attain to twenty-five or thirty years
of age; aud this is true as far as the gene
raj bent of the genius of an individual
and his disposition, and, perhaps, his capacity
are concerned. The brightest youths do not
always make the aOlest meH; and dull tvros
sometimes turn out to DC great genluses. Dean
Swift was a slow and ploddng student at the
University, but most brilliant wit and satirist in
after life. All the great novels of Walter
Scott, which has rendered mis- name so memo
rable, were written after he attained to fifty
years Ofage. His reputation had not reached
It's eliminating point till his hair had begun to
be sprnkled with gray.
There are no two handwritings of different
individuals exactly alike. They vary like the
leaves of forest tree. These differences in
chirOgraphy are supposed to indicate certain
ldloSyncracies in the character of indivdu-
ais, and nice students of the human cha
racter think that they are able to pronounce
declslvely as to these pecullarties by an eX-
animation of their manuscripts. The collec-
| tors OF autographs pride themselves on this
kind of knowledge. The science of photographs
however, like that Of phrenology, may be true
in its leading outlines, but the minute refine
ments TO which some ingenious persons carry
it, is not we think much to be depended on
Persons write very differently as their lninds
are in calm or excited state, at leisure or in
a hurry. Napoleon's dispatches were usually
commenced in very beautiful lcgibic text
but if he was on the eve Of battle, the strokes
of his pen were he Wy and irregular. LAWYERS
full of business, write often in haste, and in a
style that is perfectly ilegible, from the ob
security of the characters they employ; the
clerks who engross their documents, write with
ure~s ~lo~-"---, I;-%:--.~aSS and haantu -
Some great men, even authors pride themselve:
upon writing so illcgibly that it is quite a stud
for the compositor to extricate their language
Again, we have known distinguished men wht
! did not think an elegant hand beneath thei
attention. The late VIM. CASTOR, of Mort
5 Carolina, whose whole life was devoted to III
5 study and practice of the law IN which he al
, tanned the highest eminence, wrote hand &C
Z almost inimitabe delicacy and beauty.
9 We are inclined to think that handwrtin
= indicates art more than charactcr-that, lik
h style 1t is very much a thing of tact and expo
e rience Yet it is doubtless true that Gerrual
r Frenchman, or an EngIishman, may be a
: readily known by his handwriting as by n
y countenance.

ing by the sweat of their brow-the men of
good sense. Yetss must be admitted that there
are and always have been in this Hall many
politicians of incorruptible integrity and lofty
patriotism and great intellect and knowledge.
Sir, 1t is our division among ourselves, the pre-
JUDGES of one section OF this Confederacy
against another, which our foreign enemies
have brought about. as have stated, which is
our present greatest danger. 1t must not be
encouraged-it must be put down. We are

must not divide among ourselves. I do hot

they will not take sides in it,"

Don't Talk too Much,
C.. II. P.

One half the mschiefin the world we believe
is done from talking. And one half the diff
culties we getinto as we go along through life,
is the result of saying what we might as well
not have said. There is much wisdom in the
old maxim keep your mouth shut and your
eyes open,"-rely upon it. We do not know
anybody in any situation or profession of life,
to whom this advice is not applicable. 1t is
sometimes said that lawyers live by talking !;
that it is their trade and on but the fact is,
the lawyers are as apt to talk too much as any
body else, and to suffer as much by it. To
spin out long argument, they necessarily fall
into the habit of dealing more in fancy than in
facts, saying things about parties and witnesses
that do no good and much harm, and their repu-
tation for candor will generally diminish in the
same proportion as that for loquacty increases.
To hear some men at the bar, you would sup
pose that if they were held up by the feet, the
words would run out of their mouths by mere
force of gravity for a week at time, without
troubling their brains at all. A preacher may
talk too much. One of the best sermons in the
world was the sermonon the mount. You may
read it, as reported, in fifteen minutes; anC
though its style and power are inapproachable
its brevity might we'll be often initiated. Oul
! Legislators talk too much. And nineteenth o
all the speeches making in Congress and thu
Legislature is the mere sounding brass ant
tinkling cymbdl of variety and egOtism. You
really sensible men never get up, unless the.
have something to say, and always sit down a
soon as they have said it, Our politicians tall
too much tits really refreshing, and uncom
mon as it is refreshing, to hear a sensible ma
talk sensibly on this topic for fifteen minutes
But if one listens to the street rant ofthe day
the whole science seems to be twisted into
puzzle, that nobody. can find the beginning nc
the end of.
Some young people have an idea that the
y can talk each other into matrimony. 1t is
;, mistake. In such a delicate matter as this tn
tongue had better be contented by playing
subordinate part. The eye can tell bette
e story, the language of actions well make be
If ter impression, the love that grows up in sller
,f sunshine, which congenial hearts reflect upo
each other is the healthiest and most endurin,
9 The manner will always sink deeper than Il
s, language OF affection But this is a matter
" which people are SO bent upon managing the
N own way, that we doubt whether the advii
will be worth the ink and paper.
