The human mind is continually acquiring
greater activity. and human energy, by
means of the sciences and arts, greater vig-
or and potency; and ,hcss who undertakes
to stay the wheels of Progress, are either
left behind or oTercone. 1t is too iats ts
talk about danger to our Institutions from

Notwithstanding the aPpTehsnsions fsls
for tie safety of the Union, the oainous
,hreatenings OF secliOnalism, aud even the
insane eEc-ts Of Z few misguided spirits to
subverta State Government. subsequent e.

States in the Ohio valley, from both sides
Of Mason and Dixon's line, are evidences
that strong and abiding love of the Usien
is implanted in the hearts Of he Americas
people; and guarantee that the rights our
