A Republican Reply to Mr.. Stewards
Speech,

There are Republicans in the Nortl
who are speaking out. The New Hamp'
shire Statesman is one, and just now
says -
Now let US inquire, in The name of COM
mon sense, Of what avail is it to prove
by statistics that we pay three-fourths oil
all the revenues to the government, while
southern consumers are our largest Gus
toners? Of what avail is it to prove to
the South with all that they wear, from
top knot to a shoe latchet with all that
they use. from steam engine to friction
match. when this very process feeds our
manufactures The South is as necessary
to the North. as the North is to the South.
Massachusetts annually makes six mill
ions of dollars worth Of shoes. The South
is her best customer When the shoe
business declines. gaunt hunger stalks
through the streets of her AouriShing vii
lagos.
New England is extensively engaged
in the manufacture of cotton. We buy
the raw material Of the South. and pay
in goods. When the spindles cease to
whirl the operatives are threatened with
starvation. 1t is the spirit of the hyena
that bites the hand that feels it. 1t is
hi h time to cultivate fraternaI feeling
between the different sections Of our conn
try. Neither commerce. manufactures.
nor agriculture can flourish. while the two
hostile portions of eur country endea-
vor to injure and cripple each other. Sup
pose we succeed in convincing the South
Of their dependence on US for all they eat.
and wear, and use, and thus stimulate
them to establish manufactures for them
selves, or divert their trade into ether
channels. are we gamers by the process ?
Suppose we prove that they are indebt-
ed to US for all their literature and all
their teachers, and thus rouse their hos
tility to our books and teachers, are we
benefited in anywise? No good has
come. or ever will come, from this mutual
examination and recrimination. 1t neither
strengthens the party nor hastens the
downfall of slavery. We hold that everv
State has right to determine what insti-
tutions it will adopt.
Why, then. hoist the banner Of ono
more Slave States" when tine very cor
ner stone of our political fabric rests upon
the principle that majority of the people
of every State. new or old, shall decide
that question for itself !?
We shall be glad to hear all New Eng
land, and all free States, and all the States
of the Union, respond amen" to this.

him again, but again he lost him. Month

THE KINLOCH ESTATE,
AND HOW IT WAS SETTLED
(coNrINUED.)
CHAPTER TX.

Mrs KinlOch was surprised at inding
that neither Hugh nor Mildred, nor vet
Lucy Ransom, was in the house.
MilIrei came home first and was not
accompanied by Hugh. as Mrs. KinlOch
hal hoped. He had not found her, then
perhaps he had not sought for her. Next
Lncy returned. coming through the gar
den which stretched up the hill Being
questioned, she answered that she had
been to her grandmother's and had come
back the nearest way over the hill, thro'
the woods.
"What had she gone for after the ia
tyae of washing day ?"
because Squire Clamp. who owned
the house her grandmother lived in, want
ell her to take message"
Mrs. Kinloch began to become interes-
tel. esquire Clamp - she exclaimed
''wheu did you see him 90
.IIe called here yesterday evening-on
his way to Mr.. Hardwick's, l guess"
"Why didn't he ask me if you could
go? / think he's pretty free to send my
girls about the town on his errands."
You were out, Ma'am-in the next
house !; and after he'd gone / forgot it"
"You remembered it to-day. it seems. -
"Yes'm; after dinner L thought of it,
and hurried right off but granny was
sick and foolish, and didn't want to lei
me come away, so 1 couldn't get back as
quick as meant to-"
"Well, you can go to the kitchen"
"Yes'm."
II must keep an eye on that girl, 3"
thought Mrs. Kinloch. She is easily
persuaded, tickle. without strong sense,
and with only q very shallow kind oil
canning. She might do mischief What
can Squire Clamp want? The old hove
her grandmother lives in isn't worth fly
dollars. Whatever has been going on,
Pm glad Hugh is not mixed up in it.
Just then Hugh rode up, and, tying his
horse, came in. He seemed to have lost
something of the gayety Of the morning
S.I'm tired, % he said. 81 had to get of
and lead the pony down the hill, and it's
steep and stony enough"
There are pleasant roads enough, in
the neighborhood," said his mother,
"without your being obliged to take to the
woods and Chamber over the mountains.
Il know it." he replied; "but | lad
been up towards the Allen place, and
took a notion to come back over the hill. u
Then you passed Lncy's house ~
"Yes. The bride path leads down the
hill about mile above this but on foot
one may keep along the ridge and come
down into the valley through our garden
- $50 I suppose in fact, I believe Lucy
has iast returned that way''
"Indeed it's strange I didn't see her"
at is strange"
Hugh bore the quiet scrutiny well, and
his mother came to the conclusion thai
the girl had told tie truth about her go

A REQUIEM IN THE NORTH.
BY RAYARB TAYLOR.


Speed Ewiffer, Night.-wild Northern Night.
Whose feet the Arctic Islands know,
When Etifsning breakers sharp and white,
Gird thy complaining shores Of snow;
Send all thy wiads to sweep the world,
And howl In mountain passes fsTi
And hang thy banners red and cold,
Against the shield Of every star!
For what have I to do with morn,
Or Summers glory in the wales
With the blithe ring Of foFest-hon,
Or beekoning CLEAN Of snowy sailsl
An thou not gone, in whose blue eye
The aesting Summer dawned to me-
Gone like the echo Of sigh,
Beside the loud resounding seat
Oh, bieftbe time of song and flowers,
Which blest through thee the Northern Land!
pine amidst its leaness bowers,
And on the bleak and lonely strand.
The forest walls the starry bloom
Which yet shall pave its shadOwT floor;
But down my spirits Aisles OF gloom,
Thy love shall blossom nsvermore!
And never more shall baiiled pines
Their solemn triumph sound for me,
Nor morning fringe the mountain lines,
Nor sunset flush the hoary sea;
But Night and Winter ell the sky,
And load with frost the shivsrng air,
TIL every gust that hurries BY,
Chimes wilder with my own despair.
The leadsn twilight, cold and long,
Is slowly settling DER the wave;
No wandering blast awakes a song
In naked boushs above thy grave.
The frozen air Is still and dark;
The numb air lies in icy rest;
And all is dead, save this one spark
ofburnins grief within my breast.
LiFe's darkened ORR shah wheel no more
To loves rejoicing SKINNER back;
My spirit walks 4 winiry shore.
With not a star to light its track.
Speed swiftsr, Night, thy gloom and frost
Are free to spoil and raVage here;
This last wild requiem for the lost,
pour in thy unheeding ear.
