Higher Law.

/ The Hon. A. H. Stephens of Georgia,
one of the most talented of the Southern
Representatives in Congress, in his speech
at public dinner given at Augusta, intro
duced little philosophy on higher law
that if carried out to its logical conclusions
would be somewhat dangerous to slavery.
His reputation of the doctrine of the
greatest good to the greatest number would
quite knock the bottom out of the prihci-
pie of voting your neighbor into slavery
by popular sovereignty, and the inquiry
that be would permit 10 be raised as to
the benefits of slavery to the negro would
scarcely allow the institution any quiet
We quote from the report of the speech:
"We ought to increase and expand our
institutions. If they do not increase the
amount of happiness to all-black and
lwbite-thep, they ought to be abandoned.
lie repudiated the doctrine Of the. greatest
happiness to the greatest number. One hun
dred persons have no right to have happi-
ness at the expense and injury of ninety
nine. If slavery Is not best for the Af-
riican, and doesn't increase his happiness,
1t ought to be abolished. Ifit does then our
institutions are founded in nature-we are
fulfilling our destiny and we should stand
upon this higher law. He wouldn't sup

with this higher law of nature" "a

with firm step and resolute air-naked

across donkey-one being upon each

School EXAMINATIONS The different depart
ments Of our Union School were examined du.
ring the past week. We were present during
a portion Of these exercises, and were highly
pleased with them. We saw no evidences Of
special training for the occasion, is usually the
case. 1t appeared to be the aim Of the teachers
to exhibit the true standard Of progress made by
their several classes. and in pursuing this course
they were not only honest with their empoyersbut
showed a confident reliance on the fruits Of their
labors which spoke volumes in their praise. On
Friday afternoon, after the examination of sever
al classes, the exercises concluded with decama-
tons, rChearsals and original essays. In our opin
ion, the Schools of this place are now in good
hands. There is a disposition to instruct pu'
pills, rather than an attempt merely to get up a
Shop with them. There is moro attention given
to studies, and less to musical concerts thar has
sometimes been the practice. Indeed we think
our people may, on the whole, be proud OF their
schools, and point to them as the greatest in.
ducement for good people to make their homes in
Perrysburg.
The present vacation is of two weeks duration
only. The children are enjoying it finely aud will

next quarter, much refreshed and invigoroted.

THAT HIATT. r. Miller & ca. have our
thanks for hat as is a hat" If possible, it
improves our looks just little, and therefore
we have our doubts about the propricty OF
wearing it, for we don't like to torment our
friends with unnecessary and prejudicial con
'trass. Go right rf and get one of those nice
hats before they are all gone. Nothing makes
a man look worse than bad hat, except bad
lhabi,s, and the two often 90 together. A man
with good hat on his head feels better, looks
better, and is thought better, than when his
brains are hldly covered. Therefore, if you have
nothing else, have hat.

A MovE IN THE RIGHT DlREcTIoN.- I'VE are
pleased to notice the fact that the several church
es in this place have formed Union Prayer
Meeting The first of these meetings took place
last Tuesday evening, in the room over Mr..
Hitchcocks store. 1t has been q matter Of sur
prise to us that such course has not been adop
ted hitherto We have wondered why it was
that the members of different religious bodies
could not at least hold their prayer meetings to-
gether. In small place like Perysburg where
the Devil has a strong hold upon large share Of
the people, of course FIVE or six different rclig-
ious organizations will divide the religious por-
ton of the community up into very small COM
panies, at least one-fourth Of whom will proba-
bly, not regularly attend prayer meetings. Hence,
from two to ha'f-a-dozen persons meet, and have
q spiritlesS and to certain degree at least
proitIess meeting; whereas, if all praying people
would unite once week in social worship their
spiritual strength would not only be renewed, but
the world would be compelled to award them
credit for more sincerity IN their professions than
they can otherwise command. The maxim that
" in union there is strength" is no less true Of

professed christians have been content to be
divided into all manner of sects, quarrpling
over irrelevant and misunderstood doctrines
and dogmas. to the sacrifice Of countless mum.
bers OF human souls, at least according to the
general belief We are pleased, then, TO sec the
ice broken, and we trust the GOODNESS which
has hitherto kept Jordan frozen over, now that
the cloud of uncharitaoleness is removed will
vanish before the genial rays of the Son of
Righteousness, which shine alike upon the just
and the unjust.
We also learn that it is in contemplation to
bring ehout union in the ministerial services
TO certain extent. 1t is proposed TO have
union meetings on Sabbath evenings, the differ
ent ministers sharing equally in the labors, the
meetings to be held at such place as may be
agreed upon. This should be done by all means
and we have no doubt but the several ministers
will readily assent to such an arrangement and
enter upon the work in good earnest.
