How Very Foolish !

Some of our disunion friends want to break
IN the Union so that the merchant and manu-
f,cturing princes at the North and East who
have grown rich by Southern trade and pat
ronage may be made to feel that they are de-
nendent on US How foolish! Cannot this be
done as well and better in the Union than
ont of it? We think so? Let our capitalists
invest their money here instead of New York
and Boston; let US go to work with the money
that it is proposed to buy arms with to hight
an inmaginary foe, and build up manutactu-
ring establishments, more railroads, canals
&c. Let us learn to live economically and to
nroduce and manufacture all that we want ana
a surplus for the people of the North, or any
body else who will pay us for it. Let us IN
crease our shipping and open trade at once
with foreign ports; and above all get as little
as possible from the North. Let no man send
his child or ward to Northern school or Col
lege, literary, medical or theological, and let
no one be countenanced who takes Northern
publication of any kind. Let us too get our
school and other books from Southern publish
ers. Let our bridal tours and tours for health
and pleasure be made to the South, or in the
South and not to the North. These and a
thousand other things might be done which
would cripple, beggar and starve the North to
such an extent that in less than four years-long
before the expiration of Lincoln's term-they
would beg us to dictate our own terms for a
reconciliation.
But will our people do these things? Let
the immense Southern trade that went to New
York the season succeeding the John Brown
raid and the tens of thousands of Southerners
who visited New Port, Saratoga, Niagara and
other Northern fashionable resorts the follow
ing summer, answer. We know how much
fuss they made at the time, and how many
oaths they took never to have anything more
to do with the North, just as they do now over
the election of Lincoln, but still it wore off in
few months then as it most probably will
now; and whether South Carolina secedes or
not, her suelLs will continue to wear patent
feathers made in Philadelphia New York or
Boston, and next summer when the dog days
approach we shall see them tiocking to North
ern haunts to spend the money, which their
slaves have earned among the very enemies
against whom all their curses are directed.
How foolish then to talk about Furnishing
the North by seeding! If we have not the
energy, enterprise and ability to do it in the
Union we certainly cannot do it out of it.

RANK SITSpENSIONS

The Richmond Whig, noticing the report
that the notes of Virginia banks are at a dis
count of 6 and per cent in New York, says
Now, if that be fact, our own alternative is
an instant suspension of specie payments of
our Banks Better do it moso, than wait 80
days, when suspension will be inevitable for
want of funds.
A Virginia note is intrinsically worth as
much as New York one of the same denom-
ination-and this depreciation is little better
than swindle We can maintain the worth
of our notes by suspending before the specie is
withdrawn. Immediate action is the true
remedy

mated ga practical suggestion" by Mayor Swan,
of Baltimore, iii speech recently delivered III
New York city:
{" In case the danger grew greater, he would
advise a convention, not of Southern States but
fall States, and the Settlement of the distur-
bing question: by pledging the North 10 the
following propositions
q. That hereafter the North should re-
cosnize, without qualification the institution
OF slavery as II has existed Under the C6nsti-
tuition.
-. The honest enforcement of the Fugi-
tive Slave law
so. The equal right of the South to a full
participation in the occupancy of the Terrific

ositions, all present evils would be corrected,
and our Government move on in hafrnony for

A WELL PLEASED MAN.-If the reporters are
to be credited, the Prince of Wales must have
been the best pleased young man on this conti-
nent. Each successive incident of his trip in
the United States affords him "the highest
pleasure, and the last place visited is always,
according to these local authorities, that in
which he has been best received Undoubted-
ly, however, the Princes progress through the
Republic has been marked with extreme cordi-
ality on both sides, and its effect must be to
greatly increase the two countries. On our
part we have done the proper thing, and the
British public will heartily appreciate the kind
feelings that has been shown towards the
young Prince.-Baltin,orc Americun.

SELECTED POETRY,
ApnesI 90 n bachelor.

BY JOHN q. SAKE.
Dear Charles, be persuaded to wed.
For sensible fellow like you, :
It's high time to think of a bed.
And mullins and coffee for two: =
So have done with your doubt and delaying
With soul so adapted to mingle,
No wonder the neighbors are saying,
'Tis singular you should be single
Don't say you haven't got time
That business demands your attention.
There is not the least reason or rhyme,
In the wisest excuse you can mention ,
Don't tell me about ''other fish,
Your duty is done when you catch EN-
And you. never will relish the dish,
Unless you've woman to fry EN-.
You may dream of poetical fame,
But your wishes may chance to miscarry
The best way of sending ones name
To posterity, Charles. is to marry!
And here L am willing to own,
After soberly thinking upon it.
I'd very much rather be knowa
By beautiful son than a sonnet.
Then, Charles, bidyour doubling good bye,
And dismiss all fantastic alarms
I'd be sworn you've girl in your eye,
'Tis your duty to have in your arms
Some trim little maiden of twenty,
A beautiful azure eyed elf,
With virtues and graces in plenty.
And no falling but loving yourself
Don't search for an "angel' minute.
For, granting you win in the sequel,
The deuce, after all, would be in it.
With the Union so very unequal
The angels, it will be confessed.
In this world, are rather uncommon;
And allow me, dear Charles, to suggest,
You'll be better content with woman.
Then, there's the economy-clear.
By poetical algebra shown
If your wife has a grief or a tear,
One half by the law is your own,
And as to the joys-by division.
They're nearly quadrupled, tits said.
(Though never could see the addition
Quite plain in the item of bread
Then, Charles, be persuaded to wed.
For sensible fellow, like you,
It's high time to think of bed,
And mullins and coffee for two;
So have doneswith your doubt and delaying,
With soul so adapted to mingle,
No wonder the neighbors are saying,
'Tis singular you should be single

There appears to be fine spirit among the

will be one of entire harmony and good feeling.
There are several important Offices to fill,
but as the Democratic majority on joint ballot
is 20, no difficulty will be encountered on this
score

IS Swear Not at Aii.o

Swear not all My ear is pained,
To hear Jehovah's name profaned.
Swear not at all" for so said Christ.
Whose words were ever gems unpriced.
above all things, swear not said James.
That message was of priceless worth
Cod throne is heaven-his footstool earth, ~
Swear not by these--before that throne
Our words, very thoughts are known.
Swear not by thine own hand or head
Not by the living the dead;
Nor yet thy life, sou health.
Nor yet the GIittering phantom-weslth.
Nor swear by earth; as we explore,
Gods footprints tell on every shore
Nor by the stars orb of day,
Nor gems that pave the milky wav,
Nor yet more distant realms above,
Made vocal by .Jehovahs love
No by the Saints nor Straphm;
These OF God and BOW TO HIM.
Not by the bamy breath of spring.
Nor teathered songstera OH the wing,
Not by the monsters of the deep.
Nor raging storms that DER Us sweep,
Nor by the ligh.nings fash OIL high,
Nor by the thunder roaring by.
Not by angelic harp nor Tyre;
And never on the Atlantic wire.
Nor by the King, nor Queen, or both,
Nor yet by any other oath,
SWEAR NOT AT ALL.
This was the original ending of the poem. The
following lines were added in compliment to the

Nor Christian, nor Hopeful,--nay think of their

And that wicket gate-where they enter the road
Swear not by Evangelist" Valiant for Truth
Nor Great Heart the Guide-of those women and
youth.
Swear not by Apollyon,-nor his frey shield
That Christian so gloriously drove from the field
Swear not by the Lions-nor Giant Despair,
Nor swear by the City of Vanity Fair
For that Doubling Castle,-it is not for thee,
Like Hopeful and Christian we too have he key
