ture. Nature says one has an equal right to
the means Of life with another, and had man
always been obedient to her avs, each would
strive only for the good of all, and everything
acquired would be considered the property of
all. But 10 proceed: 1e a
"The fundamental rights Of man are, 1. The
right of existence;2. The right to happiness !"
Consequently al, have right to all the means
Of happiness and the perpetua'ion of existence.
There is no natural law which opposes The
happiness of man. Life is bestowed by the
Giver of all good for the purpose of happiness.
II so, to live and be happy is our right" In
this connection there is an argument raised
against capital punishment life being the
Gift of God, when once bestowed becomes a
right az against all but the donor. He who
conferred can alone rightfuly take away.
"Man's rights, then, are incidents of his very
nature; and il we would define his rights, we
must know his mental constitution Man
must live, and move, and have his being,
according to the laws of his organization. He
has wants and desires, ard the means Of graft
spIedu nin. Every TaCnl-
ty, emotion or desire, is pure in itself, and it's
abuse only is wrong. He is admitted to be
the master-work Of an all-wise and benefcent
Creator. This alone ought to be presumptive e
evidence of the natural excellence of his char
acter. They who assert the natural depravity
of man, ought to consider his source before
they speak so lightly of him. 1t is not easily
reconcilable with appropriate reverence for
Deity, for creature to pronounce the noblest
work of the Creator on earth to be totally de-
PRAYED. We have no very satisfactory evi
dence that man was ever any better than he
now appears; nay, the evidence seems to be
in favor of has progressive improvement from
the earliest ages of the world, so that If he be
altogether evil now in mis- advanced state of
Improvement, it is hard to conjecture how bad
he may have been at first. He certainly could
not have promised very fair at the commence
nent of his pilgrimage upon earth! The earth
itself has advanced towards perfection and
adaptation to the wants of organized beings
by various stages and grades Of improvement
and it is in harmony with all analogy to sup
pose that the races Of animals and men have
kept pace in their improvement with the globe
whi>h they inhabit.

o'clock, the House was without business,
while the Senate had under consideration the
Appropriation bill. With the appurtenances
have mentioned and the genei al delight upon
the close of the labers of the session and the
expectant Joy of soon greeting the slowed ones
at home," our legislators of the lower House
laid their dignity on the table. and legislative

''Bob Sawyer" with interludes of yells and
cheers. OF course the decorum of the Sem
ate was suddenly shocked. 1t repaid the

The great argument with the Lecompton
Democrats against their rebelious brethren, is
that their course is destined to cause a split in
the Democratic party. 1t is pressed with much
vigor. One Of the Lecomptcnites assailed
Hon. Stanley Mathews on this point, when the
following took place:
"a split IN the Democratic party is inevi-
table," urged Lecompton, '.if you 60 on in this
way"
"Why SOP" coolly asked the Judge.
"Because it divides ns.''
''Not at all. I hope YOU Lecompton DEM
ocrats do not intend to bolt.''
"Certainly not" replied Lecompton. "We
always vote the ticket clean through"
"Then there can be no split" replied Judge
Mathews. "for we anti. Lecompton Democrats
intend to m.ke the Democratic tickets"
Lecompton retired to take drink.
