Spirits Of just Men made Per-
feet.

Let us thank God that we are what
we are, that we arc not as Southern men
are, that this community is sanctifed,
and set apart a peculiar people jealous
of good works, that we are a "clty set
upon o hill" as it were.
1t is an occasion of devout gratitude
that we have no drunkenness, nc licen-
tiousness, no frauds, no covetousness no
violence, no envyings, no back billings,
none that steal, zone that swear; in
short that there is neither sin nor SIM
ners North of Mason & Dixon's line
That VIC obey ten of the commandments:
and approach so nearly to the eleUenth
that we hate our Southern neighbor as
we do the devil.
Having no sins of u own to repent
of, let US continue to repent of those of
the Federal Constitution. Having moth
ing to deplore at home, let eur-heads
become waters and our eyes fountains of
tears, that we may weep day and night,
and refuse to be comforted in view of
the bondage of Dinah and Sambo.
But there is a better time coming for
Sambo. The m~illenial dawn is already
streaking the eastern horizon, and the
answer to Giddings' prayer though long
deferred is almost here for the knife is
being whetted and placed in Sambo's
hand with which to cut his masters
throat.
The glory of God, yea, of our God is
risen upon Yankeedom, and its course is
Westward and Southwark, its effulgence
already gilds the spire of Plymouth
Church ia New York City, and pene-
trates Ohio. The hill tops of Portage
are bathed in its lurid light and its
beams are eagerly HeraAdedi in C%uyahoga.
Hear the battle cry from Bunker Hill.
The only issue is the dissolution of the
Union" "The United States Constitu-
ton is a covenant with the devil and an
agreement with hell."-Boston Libe'G-
tor, June 30th, 1856.

At a recent stump meeting in Sum-
mersett, Maine, this Rev. Republican
held forth as follows 6. SIN the name of
Almighty God"
No man, Mr.. Chairman, has a right
to be surprised at the present state of
things. 1t is just what we have attempt
ed to bring about. My friend Swasey
was telling us this morning what slavery
has done. What has she done ?-She
has done exactly q0hut ace hare been
tempting her to do-that is, she has de-
veloped herself. The slave power had
always the same power and the same
wish it IS the anti-SAavery enterprise
that has developed that qoish intO an
act. 1t is just what We expected-ex-
actly. The forces at last are ranged
face to face. Our friends have not turn
ed to the bright side Of the matter to-
day but there is merit in the Repub.
lican party. 1t is this: 1t as the first
sectional party ever organized in this
country. 1t does not know its own face,
and it calls ITSELF national but it is
not national, it is sectional. 1t IS the
North arrayed against tie South !
Henry Wilson said to me, We must
get every Northern State in order to
elect Fremont Even in imagination, he
did not count upon a single southern
State. 1t was a distinct recognition of
the fact that the Republican party is a
party of the North pledged against the
South. Theodore Parker wanted to
know, once, where disunion would tc-
gin. L will tell him just where that
party dividos-That is, a northern par
ty against the southern. l do not call
it an anti-slavery party-it has not ris-
en- to that yet. 1t is a Northern party
against the Southern. They made the
first little breach. The first crack in

election. He was elected by northern
men-not a man from the South voting
for him. That is the value of that par
ty. 1 hail it as a sign-as a great sign.
1 did not hope to see it for ten years ; it
has come unexpectedly early"
We hope to hear no more denials of
the designs of the Republican party up
on the rendition of the Union. Here it
is from their principal high prizes t.

Jeherson,s Opinions of the Mis-

temporaneous Letters.
On the 18th of April, 1920, he wrote
VIM. to Short
"The old schism of federal and re-
publican threatened nothing, because it
existed in every State and united them
together by the fraternalism of party.
But the coincidence of a marked princi-
PIE, moral and political, with a geograph-
ical, once more conceived, L feared,
would never more be obliterated from
the mind that it would be recurring on
every occasion, and renewing irritations,
until it would kindle such mutual hatred
as to render separation preferable to
eternal discord. l have been among
the most sanguine in believing that our
Union would be of long duration. Inow

great distance, and the direct consequent

STARTING CHILDREN IN THE WORLD
Many an unwise parent labors hard and
lives sparingly all his life, for the purpose
of having enough to give his children a
a start in the world, as it is called. Set
ting young man afloat with money left
him by his relatives, is like tying bladders
under the arm of one who cannot swim !;
ten chances to one he will lose his blad-
ders and go to the bottom. Teach him to
swim, and he will never need the bidders.
Give your children a sound education, and
you have done enough for him. See that
his morals are pure, and his mind cultiva-
ted, and his whole nature subservient to
1the laws which govern man, and you have
given him what will be of more value than
the wealth Of the Indies You have CIV
en- him start which no misfortune can
deprive him of. The earlier you teach
him to depend upon his own resources the

John C.. Breckinridpe

The nomination Of this gallant Kentuck
ian for the Vice Presidency on the ticket
with MIR. Buchanan, will be received with
enthusiastic appreciation by the Democra-
cy throughout the nation. Though quite
young, his political career has been mark
ed and successful one. The Louisville DEM
ocrat says of him, that some seven or eight
years ago he was elected by an overwhelm-
ing majority to the State Legislature from
Mr.. Clay's own county (Fayette,) then
Wing by some six hundred votes. In 1851 ),
he announced himself candidate for Con-
gress in the Ashland district, which was
Wing by from fifteen TO eighteen hundred
majority; and after an exciting canvass, in
which Gen. Leslie Combs was his opponent,
he was elected by from six to seven hun
dred majority. In 1853, he was again a
candidate, the Wings having brought out
Governor Letcher to oppose him. The can
vass was the bitterest ever witnessed In that
State. the Wings fought with the desper-
alton of madmen. They were determined
to redeem the Ashland district if human
power could accomplish it. Every appli
ance was brought into requisition. Money
was thrown broadcast over the district;
committees were appointed; every county
and precint was polled. The first orators
in the party were sent to canvass the diff
ferent counties. They rode and spoke both
night and day, and in sunshine and rain
But the young Kentucky orator was irwin
chile. The people rallied around his stand
ard, and upheld it with fervor and enthu-
siasm unparalleled in the history Of the ma
ton. John G. Breckenridge was again elect
ed to Congress from the Ashland district
by nearly seven hundred majority. Of his
Congressional career it is needless now to
speak. 1t is known to the country, and
the country approves it. AS a far seeing
statesman. Mr. Breckinridge has but few
equals. As an orator in the true sense of
the term, we earnestly believe that he stands
without peer in the American forum;
whilst his private character is beyond re-
proach, and lis bearing that of fine Ken
lucky gentleman. His personal popularity
and exalted worth will add to the strength
of the ticket in his own State at leas. ten
thousand yotes--N. Y Ledger.
