the herring won't be caught, won't be even
directly civil. II the Convention meet in
Charleston and lis members expess Doug
las sentiments, they will be insulted. shot
down and overawed. / DO not think that
the lives of Douglas members would be
safe, not on account of yellow fever, bus
on account OF o maddened, excited popula-
tion.
The Mercury on the assembling ofths
Convention would stigmatize the Douglas
delegates as .dbolfionists. This would be
enough 10 draw down upon such men the
vengeance of The mob, and all men who
voted FOR Douglas or talked Douglas, ;rould

Charleston, and such speakers as Bonhum

much cnrnposure, and feel as little remorse
about the matter, as if forty or fifty mad
dogs were shot. Ifsuch language is used

bic. One man falls into whining tone
another prays in an audible whisper, anoth-
er exats his voice far beyond the nntura
tone entirely. Some talk in tencr, but pray
in bass; some converse in upper bass notes
but pray in tenor nnies. II brother first
speaks and then prays, stranger from the
outside would think two different men had
been speaking. The habit becomes very
marked in the administrations Of clergy
men, many of whom, at length, to have a
conversation voice, praying voice, read
ing voice and preaching voice.
We must enter solemn protest again:,
the desecration Of The name Of God, so very
common in prayer, there would seem tc be
no necessity. in prayer of ordinary length
aud upon ordinary occasions, of more than
one or two repeiitions of The divine name.
Instead of this, it is often repeated from
twenty 10 forty times, every sentence be-
gins, 20 Lord?" Often the middle of SEN
tences is pivoted upon The divine name. Il
is made 10 be on which, long drawn out,
men collect their thoughts or gather breath.
1t is word used simply to begin SEN
tence or close it up. In short, the name Of
God has degenersted into mere rhetorical
establishment, and is the wasteword Of the
prayer. For our own part, prayer inter-
larded in this manner are extremely repul-
sive and even shocking. The prayers Of
intense feeling, OF uncomfortable sorrow or
desire are the exception. And no one shall
shrink from any repetition of the Divine
name which seems like the clinging and
pleading Of an earnest and yearning heart.
Nor can we consent, any more, TO be moved
by the injections and epilhets Of prayer
Many prayers are rolling full of O's and
the voice runs through half nsi-eircular
scale o! gracious inionations with every
other sentence-it is, o, do this, 0, DO that,
o send, o give, Q bless, o teach, o lock,
0 smile, 0 come, o forgive, o spare, o.
hear, Q let, Q snatch, o watch-O. o. o!
o. through the whole petition, with every
variation Of reflection. Some O's are deep
and sad some are shrill and short; some are
blunt and decisive, but more are long, very
long, aiftcIingly long.
Some men are always opening The win

A Guilty CoysCfExcE.-One of the
most memorable passages ever uttered by
MIR. Webster, was in vindication of the au-
thoriiy of conscience and of Providence, on
trial for dark and mysterious MURDER
The guilty soul cannot keep its own Sc
cret. 1t is false 10 itself. 1t labors under
its guilty possession and knows not what to
do with it. The humnn heart was not made
for the residence Of such an inhabiiant. 1t
finds itself preysd upon by torment which
it does not acknowledge TO God or man.
A vulure is devouring it, and it can ask
no sympathy orassistance, either from heav-
en- or earth. The secret which the mur-
derer possesses soon comes'to possess him;
and. like the evil spirit Of which we read,
it overcomes him, and leads him whitherso-
ever it will. He feels it beating in his
heart, rising 10 his throat, and demanding
disclosure. He thinks the whole world
sees it in his face, and almost hears its
working in the silence of his thoughts. 1t
be,rays his discretion, it breaks down his.
