re For the past few days we have had
glimpse Of "Heavcn's own blue'' DER
heard and have FELT the warm breath Of an
angel visitor upon our cheek. Spring,
coy as ever. has long resisted the winning
influences Of the darkened EARTH, but has
at length yielded to her embrace, and ay a
mark of atonement for her long delay, is
fast decking NATURES leafy bowers with
opening buds. Birds, with thrilling bursts
Of melody follow in her train, and woods
and fields are filled with wild, rich music.
Children clap their hands for joy to see
the bright sunshine and lovely flowers,
and many child of larger growth feels
bis heart pulsate in unison with the chord
Of universal rejoicing. "Oh that it were
always Spring!" is the exclamation on ev.
cry tongue as the life inspiring influences
Of the season are felt and enjoyed.
There is springtime of the heart
which need never pass away-an outflow
ing ofthe bright sunlight Of human kind
ness which casts beauty and fragrance a.
round the path Of the virtuous aud benev-
olent. With the,happy and the good, life
is one eternal Spring.

are catching rats from the Southern
Democratic press, for their utterancc of
sentiments fIvorao de to the Union, and in

slave trade, during their recent trip to y,
Caroliua. The President said
Let the friends of a separation Of the
Union succeed, and the cause Of civil ard
religious liberty throughout the world will
receive death blow
Whereupon the lHssiSsippian remarks
that "the President INDUCES, as Presi-
dent is expected to DO. in the usual COM
monplace twaddle about the MON, de-
precatng all calculations Of its value"
And again:
The idea, that if the two sections (be-
cause Of their opposing social and labor
systems cannot agree) separate, and estab-
lish Con federacies, each according to It's
own peculiar views and sympathies the
cause Of civil and religious liberty through
ont the world will receive its death blow,
Is simply absurd, even If it was conceived
in the brain, and was uttered by the lips
of President"
Secretary Thompson, upon the same &C.
casion, after the expression Of strong In

There is also another speculative ques-
ton arising in an opposite direction In

formers las started movement which de-
mands the reopenin- Of the foreign slave
trade. Laws which were passed fifty years
az at the urgent instance Of the Southern
p States, prohibiting the slave trade, have
been discovered to be unconstitutional. and
their longer continuance on the statute
book is destructive Of the progress anc
prosperity Of the South"
The Mtsslssippian walks into the Sec
retary from its "own State" after thi
manner:
The speech, We are compelled to say
smacks strongly Of official arrogance, anc
is much in keeping with such manifestoe
