Recorder's quotation, as We were all stroliing up
after the nights entertainment the northern sky
presented one of the most brilliant displays OF the

One remarked ait might be the rays of genius that
had just emanatsd from tho Chapel" Another aus-

intellectual exploits of that evening" But even az
we spoke the red light grew fainter and fainter and
the philosopher of the class commenced enuncating
"Sic transit"-whish was all we heard, as the bend
of the column just then turned, tramping, into the
narrow entrance which used lead to the back room

THE CAMDEN WEEKLY JOURNAL of the 2lIt
contains good editorial 1.-THE Right Of Secession,
from which we extract the following paragraph ss
precisely expressing what VIC feel and think in the
matter:
The donial Of the right Of secession 10 odiou7 in
the highest degree, and for can never consent
to zee this feature Of edste federalism fOsted upon
the principles Of true republicanism the idea should
not be tolerated for q moment by those who "knoW
their rights and knowing dare maintain them. To

hnnds aud sink down into the yilest and most con-
temptible rassalage.
The Editor has also been receiving from fair hand
some Beautiful Flowers" which he thus handsomely
acknowledges:

Sauctum IL sometime cheered by these refreshing to-
kens Of the beYutes Of nature-tue attentions which
contribute their part to make up the groat aggregate

pleased whenever witness the evidence Of refined

CsIndrn who cultivate flowers to such perfection and
besuty-to well calculated to sdorR and cheer eur
pathway through life.
Our brother seems to have dssignedly left it in
doubt whether it bs the fair friends or the "Howers
that arc thus "calculatsd to adorn" &c.,-perhaps
both which would certainly render it truthful say
ing and worthy Of all acccptation.
THE MARION STAR has Vt the head of its
"Torms" the tgni6cant notice: "$2 year, iaFsri-
5iy IN udcance." We believe the Star was among
tho first Of State papers To resolve upon the cash
system. Others have followed, until it Is getting "
be general thing. The Adrertiser sends greeting
to the Star and begs to express the hope that the
ars subscribers are as ready with tho cash as are
those Of the Adrer,iser. Ours cay with pleasure,
pride, aud profit, are coming up to the mark like
men.
THE NEWBERRY MIRROR expresses its belief
in the Right Of Secession casse very ssnsiby sur

would never occur. "0ur own views saya the Editor
