The Colonization Society has been
holding its annual meeting at the

Ii. b. Latrobc Of Baltimore, delivered
an eloquent address. 1t is, however,
openly asserted that more negroes

in this country as happy and comfort

sSNevv England I'm solid Rhalanx.ss
Under this caption the Goshen Times re-
joices over the united support given by New
England to Republicanism, and we have
seen articles with similar headings in half q
dozen Of our exchanges Of that ilk. Says
the Times:
"Never before in the history of New Eng
land, since the times that tried mems souls,
was there such spectacle"
In this assertion, our contemporary is mis-
taken, and we wish slightly to refresh his
memory. II is true that New England is q
unit in support Of abolitionism, but it is
equally true that it has been a unit twice be-
fore. First in 1900, when jefferson was
elected President-New England voting in
. body against him; again, in 1928, when
General jackson was elected-New Eng
land, once more, voting unanimously against
the Democracy. We are willing to see the
Republicans jubilant over the present unity
Of New England in favor of abolitionism
and sectionalism, only asking that they bear
in mind her united support Of Federalism,
in the days Of those noble Democrats and
patriots. Goshen Democrat.

the hills and bluffs, which from time imme.

Perhaps 50. Such persons have existed
beyond question. The falacy lies in the
implication that roughness and honesty are
naturally twincd; the truth being quite as
often that they are not in tho least related.
Good maners and good morals are oftener
found in company than rudeness and good
ness. Genuine kindness Of heart rarely
fails to produce gentle words and benig-
nant countenance. Coarse manners arc
either the result of coarse nature, or are
assumed on the strength Of the trough but

observers for sincerity that does not exist.
Shakespeare, who knew thing or two
about human nature, was not deceived by
pretexts Of this sort. Observe his portrait
Of one Of these humbugs:

Human nature has not greatly changed
since the time Of the great poet. The old
tricks are in vogue, and make, perhaps, as
many dupes as ever. Your genuine ''blunt
and honest" fellow is at least tolerable, but
the imitator is the most disagreeable Of all
the imposters extant. Luckily, he is sure
toshow his real character at pretty early
day, and is branded thenceforth 'rough and
rascally."-Bosten Post.
