In early lite hrs father died. leaving him
with slender means; bu, he determined on
obtaining an education. With rc-olute will
he surnoun,ed all obstacles. and was able
TO enter Brown University. when in his
twentieth year. Alter graduating he pur-

his command of trenehant language did not.
at times, lessen the number Of antagonists
which his decided eour.e was calculated tn

How it's 70 be Done

For some five or six wecE. past, the Wash.
lngton States has been proelaiming, from
day 10 day. that the Suuth will certainly
dissolve the Union. in the event Of Mr. Ses.
ard. election 10 tho PRESIDENCY in lsCO.
As it has insisted that Mr. Seward. num..
nation as the Republican candidate il alrel.
dy definitely .etiled thing, and his eIe-
ton very probable result, W. have taken
1t for granted that the modui opraadi ol
breaking up the Union had bcen considered
and agreed upon, and we have had no ll'''
sollcitude to know how the problem Is 10 b
worked out.
The States has at length eondcscendei to
cplgh,en the country on this point. In

upon the Southern members OF the Cabinet

only to refuse to yacate their othce', and tie
