advises the withdrawal of Sherman as q candi-
date for the Speakership, and the substitution
of some other man, who is not committed to the

that he is going on to Washington with view

to be tired out or driven into supporting the
plurality rule. This course, we think, they are
bound in duty to the country to pursue, and
we trust that they will continue in it, and resist
to the last the election of Sherman.
And what is the duty of the public in this
crisis? They should at once protest against
the policy of the republicans. The merchants
of New York should initiate the movement by
calling an indignation meeting, condemning in
the strongest terms the action of the republi-
cans in Congress, and insisting upon the SUBJ
stitution of some less obnoxious man for
Speaker than the champion of Helpers bloody
doctrines the sympathizer with Browns attack
upon Virginia, and the representative of Sew
ards brutal sentiments of the irrepressible
conflict between the North and the South
This course should be followed by similar
meetings in all the commercial and manufac-
turing cities in the Northern and Eastern
States, until such voice would be raised in
protest against the country being plunged into
commercial revulsion, to crafty few obsti-
nate partisans in Congress, that Mr. Sherman
should be abandoned, and some man who re-
spects the peace and prosperity of the Union,
and the rights of the South, be substituted in
his place.
He must be blind indeed who does not see
in the signs of the times the foreshadowing of
a terrible disaster, arising out Of the present
excitement, which will assuredlX be intensified
and FASTENED on by the disgraceful course Of
The republicans In Congress.

ders their attitude and sentiments so alarming
to the South and SO menacing to the Union.
And what is the rare heroism" which Mr..
Wilson and the people Of the North so admire
in John Brown, the horse thief, cutthroat and
convicted murderer? Dozens Of such heroes
might be found in the State prison of Massachu-
sets. For what is it that they sympathize with
him so deeply and admire him so great

slavery by armed violence in Virginia,

North. Surely the South can take but small
consolation from such explanations as this. If
John Browns act stood isolated and alone, it
would be of no more Importance than any
other deed Of violence and blood; but it is the
admiration which it ELECTS at the North that
renders it truly formidable.
Against Senator Wilson personally we have
nothing to say; he is eloquent, highly popular
in his native State, and commands attention In
and out of Congress. But his political senti-
ments, like those of VIM. II. Seward, are afro
cious, Infamous, and fraught with death and
destruction to the great system Of government
established by the wisdom of our ancestors.
To attempt to change this by force is treason;
to attempt to change it by any other means is
revolution, leading to the disruption of the
bond which unites the States, and ending at last
in one Of the bloodiest and fiercest civil wars
on record-worse than the wars of the Roses
in England, or than the border wars between
that country and Scotland, which for SO long
series of years wasted those States and lavish
ed in fratricidal strife oceans of treasure and
of blood. Does not the Senator shrink aghast
at the picture of ruin which must result from
persistence in the political action which he and
his party are now pursuing at the Northf

have not gone suddenly out Of use, and
it would be absurd to fancy that they

but they have diminished so much in

For tils New Era .
Animal Instincts.

The student of Nature finds innum-
cradle specimens of organized matter
worthy of his serious contemplation.
The inanimate may furnish that which
as directly displays Divine Intelligence,
and the inorganic may also involve mys-
teries profound yet the series Of de-
velopmant man tested in the animate,
claims our highest regard for in this
development are evinced many charac-
terstics among the orders of animals,
common to the human race. We are
accustomed TO say that it is degrading
TO elevate a mere brute to the level of
a man, by ascribing to him reason. We
therefore call his natural sagacity an
inward impulse, or brute intuition. -
However we may denonlinate these de-
velopments in tho orders Of animlas low
er than man, yet in many instances
their impulses take higher range than
some mems reason or, 10 give it
fair statement, the impulses of some an
imals are acted out more promptly than
the exercise Of some mems reason
There seems also to be a difference in
the exercise of this inward impulse even
in species of the same family.
In he family of the Finches, tho
hedge sparrow seems not to be aware
that sometimes she is with assiduous
care raising up in her nest a cuckoo,
an enemy to her race, and which like
great Shanghai chicken among SMALL
chickens, not only absorbs all the food
from her foster parent, but also tottle $
the lawful heirs out Of their nest. On
the contrary the American Goldhnch,
or yellow bird, seems to aPprehend an
enemy's tracks OF first glance, when re-
turniI G to her nest she finds in il the
egg OF cuckoo or that of COW bird.
In order, therefore, to cut short the
prospect of raising an evil bird, she
builds directly over the nest and covers
up out of sight the evil egg. This
same little bird also quickly learns the
nature Of bird-lime, and If she acciden-
tally lights on twig covered with this
substance. she hongs suspended by her
feet with her wings closed until the yls~
cous matter drips off. She then gives
futter as if to rid herself of the deadly
influence and flies away. Every after
being apprehensiye of danger from this
direction, she closely scrutinizes bush
or twig before perching. A.
