The Excitement at the South.

The excitement in the Southern States, Or
rather We should say in portion of the South.
ern States, consequent upon the election Of the
Republican candidate for President, still RACES.
We are happy, however, to know that the con-
scrvative element is found to be at work, calmly
endeavoring to allay it. Whatever cause might
justify extreme measures on the part Of any
State or States in our confedcracy, no reasonable
man, it seems to US, can claim that the mere
election of man unpopular in a certain portion
of the country, would afford a reasonable ground
for such action. When rights are inraded, and
not till then, is there occasion for such violent
demonstrations. The course adopted by the
extremists Of South Carolina may seem to then,
and their sympathizcrs the part Of wisdom, but
to those who have their country's welfare al
heart, and who have aught Of the spirit of the
fathers Of our country in their breasts, such O
course seems naught but the dictate of folly an
madness We sincerely hope that ere many
weeks have passed, we may be able to chronicle
more creditablc and patriotic department.

Our readers must have been struck with the
peculiarly neat appearance now presented by
the Engine Houses in our town. At the last
April Town Meeting ono hundred and fifty dol
lars were appropriated for putting them inre.

t. Barton ard George Barton were appointed a
committee on the subject. The painting was
done by the well-known firm of Luther Cole &
Co., and the manner in which they have exesa.

nendation from us. If the internal arrange.
ments of the buildings referred to correspond to

Lectures.

During the past week endeavors hayc been
made 70 obtain signatures sufficient to warrant
the attempt to commence course Of lectures
for tho coming season. At least two hundred
and fifty tickets should be taken, but not bali
that number are at present subscribed fol-.
Those who have the matter in hand trust that,
should they meet with sufficient encouragement
TO warrant them in proceeding with the work
they have undertaken, they will be able to OBJ
tain the services Of those who will give un-
doubted satisfaction to all. 1t cannot be that it
is necessary for us to urge the desirableness Of
having such a course Of lectures Everything
that ministers to intellectual cultivation shsas1d
be encouraged by those who arc interested In
their own improvement, or that of the communi-
ty There are other than pccuniary considera-
tions which should influence us We cannot be-
cve that this attempt will be allowed to FAIL and
we earnestly hopo that this brief notice will lad
many who have not yet subscribed for t%c
course, to hesitate no longer. Those who hzse
the matter in hand intend, should they decide
to proceed, to have for the most part the SEA
vices of gentlemen who have never been heard
among US. The committee on the subject are
the Trustees Of the Warren Artillery, Of whom
Col. John F. Drscol is chairman, and Edwin F.
Applcgatc, secretary Those who are wilngto
help forward the project, can leave their names
with either Of the above named gentlemen.

We see by our Providence exchanges that on
Monday evening, in response to call published
in the papers on the preceding Saturday, pub
lie meeting was held to take into consideration
the destitution and suffsrings Of the people Of
Kansas, to which we have referred above. His
Excellency Gov Spraguc presided, and Rev. E.
N. Stone was appointed Secretary. The Rev.
c. G. Hutchinson, Of Kansas, briefly described
the state of the Territory, and the pressing
needs Of its people. He was followed by Rev.
Daniel Foster, Of Nahama Co., Kansas. Brief
addresses were 'also made by Rev. Dr.. Hall,
Bishop Mcfarland and Bishop Clark, who coun-
scllsd action and hearty response to the earnest
appeals made BY our friends and ncighbors set
lied in that distant land.
A preamble and resolutions on the subject
wcra presented and unanimously adopted, and
. subscipxoH opened. About nine hundred
dollars wefc pledged At once. and this liberal
sum is, we understand, to be still furthef in
creased.

II there 10 one fact which more plainly than
smother speaks well for our countrymen, 1t is
ihs sssdinsss and cheerfulness with which tho
Ell of the suffering Is needed Some years a.o,
q IN cur readers will recollect the news
scachsd us that In addition TO all the evils under
which The natives of Ireland were suffering,
.shose oe famine from failure Of crops were ad-
dsd. II viii also be recollectod that no sooner
did the knowledge Of this destitution become
disseminated among our people, than means
were at once taken to send Of our own abun-
dance TO minister to their necessity. Such ac-
lion was In the highest degree honorable to our
people, and It shed lustrc on our name which
win never be obscured willie history contains q
record Of noble and generous acts. There have
been other instances, too In which the same
spil Il has been shown. BY such deeds as these
our country has been honored far more than by
our most brilliant achievements in arms, on sea
or land. The astsr showed what we could do
for ourselves the former, that we regarded the
welfare Of others as well as our own, and were
willing even to deprive ourselves, that we might
help TO lessen human suffering among those IA,
removed from US.
The Press for the last few weeks has furnish
Cd Us with intelligence Of suffering in our own
borders As might have been anticipated, the
response 10 immediate. There can be no doubt
that our own countrymen in Kansas arc actually
dying Of starvation. In that territory, where
on an average, tbs soil is deeper than in the far
famed State of Illinois, there has been an al.
most total failure Of the crops. In some parts
Of the country, not one farm has raised an car
Of corn, potatoe, or vegetable Of any kind.
Four-Hfths Of the corn land have literally yield
Cd nothing but cornstalks. There is no en-
ployment there for men who have nothing but
their hands to depend upon. In all probability
this dcstitution, from such cause, is one which
cannot occur again speedily. and the question
which comes now to us is, What can zoe do to
relieve this dcstitution? Other communities
havo cxerted themselves Let us do our part.
In Deighboring cities public meetings have been
held and sympathy expressed, and shopn to be
genuine by corresponding actions. Responsible
and reliable mon arc appointed agents to receive
and disbursc what may be contributed, and we
may therefore rest assured that every d liar
given (will reach its destination We under
stand dhat in each of tho Churches in this town
collections are to be taken tomorrow, for this
object, and we hopo that the result will be
crcditable to us. The good book tells us that
"thsrc is that scattcrcth and yet ncrcaseth." +"
Let our people bear these facts in mind, and
remember the poor"
