Legislature should, in view of the threatening
aspect of affairs, remain in secession, and take
action to prepare the State for the crisis. He
earnestly recommends, in case Lincoln is elect
ed, an immeniate. call for q Convention to de-
termine the mode and measure of redress
He says he, individually, considers secession
the only alternative left; that the indications
show the secession of SoatA Careliea would
instantly bring about that of the entire South;
and that if the General Government attempts
coercion, our solemn duty is to meet force by
force; and he promises to carry cat tae Goa
vention's decision during the remainder of his
term, regardless of hazard. lie recommends
military reorganization, and that every man
in the State, between the ages of the eighteen
and forty-fve, should be arsned by the State
with the most efficient weapons of modern
warfare. He recommends raising inmedi-
ately ten thousand volunteers, to be in readi-
ness at the shortest notice, with other prepa-
rations, conscious that we are contending for
our fresides. We may, says the Governor,

EQUILIBRIUM IN PoPULATIoN.-In regard to
increase of population, the singular fact is
presented in the life tables that where there
are only four children born to each family,
the population remains stationary In Paris
for series of years, although there were
four children to family, the population
would have diminished, if it had not been
kept good by immigration. In the rural
districts infant life is more robust, and four
children to each family little more than
Keeps the whole population good. There is
no gain of population, taking city and coun-
try together, without as many as six chill
dren to each pair of parents. Taking these
statistics for basis, it is pretty evident
that it will not require very long period
for the Celts completely to supplant the An
glo-Saxons in New England. Mem-fami-
Hes with one or two children only are pretty
certainly doomed to extinction.
The statistical tables show that FIVE per
cent. more males than females are born
This is supposed to be compensation for
the greater waste of male life in dangerous
labors. The wholesale slaughter of men in
war is not provided for in any of natures
arrangements, and in nations most given to
war, the women are necessarily driven to
labor in the fields.

The ISLAND OF CALIFoRNIA.-We lately
came across an old book, says an exchange,
entitled Geography Anatomyzed,' published
in London in 1928, one hundred and thirty
years ago. The above work appears to have
been compiled by Pat Gordon, NJ A. F. R.
5. Feeling slight curiosity to see how our
State figured in the biographies of olden
time, we searched the book and found the
following: "California.-This island was
formerly esteemed q peninsula, but now
found to be entirely surrounded with Water.
Its North Part was discovered by Sir Fran
cis Drake Ammo 1877, and was by him en-
titled New Albion, where, erecting Pillar,
he fastened thereto arms of England. The
inland parts thereof were afterwards searched
into, but found to be only dry, barren,
cold country, Europeans were discouraged
from sending Colonies to the same, so that
1t still remains in the Hands of the Natives ;
and there being nothing remarkable either
in them or it, we shall pass on to New

kfs. Ewisshelrn on Dancing


Mrs. SwissAelm, of the st. Cloud Mimi }
Democrat, has chapter en- dancing. Hear
how she talks:
1t is worthy of note that those churches
and people who most strenuously oppose
dancing. have always encouraged and prac-
ticed it under other names Like the tenn
perance man, who would not drink cider,
but had no objection to a glass Of apple
juice, our opponents of dancing have their
children taugRt the art under the name of
"Calisthenics," and practice it when it is
called plays" For it is remarkable fact,
that those old time favorites of religious
communities. "Dear Sister Phoebe" "Ring
Round Rosy" Gail a marching to Quebec"
"The White Cockade," "Copenhagan," &C.,
&c, are, every one of them Cotillons and
Contra Dances, performed to vocal and in
strumental music.
The difference between the religious dance
and the profane dance is, that in the former
every man in the room is compelled on pain
of breach Of eti%Hettey. to kiss evsry woman
in the room and ricc rersd, that it is quite
in order for married women to sit down on
the knees of young gentlemen, put their
arms around their necks, bring two pair of
lips together with smack and do any
amount of hugging. While, in the profane
dance, even those of most doubtful proprety,
the greatest familiarity between persons of
opposite sexes is gentleman placing one
hand on the ladys waist while she rests one
hand on his shoulder and holds his disen-
gagged hand in the other. The churches,
therefore, who set up rules against dancing,
are all fairly and squarely committed to the
doctrine that promiscuous dancing is all
right, and pious and innocent provided it
is accompanied By pronaiscuous kissing, with
suitable amount of hugging and general
rough and tumble.
While, without these refining and elcvat-
ing additions it is An evil on evil, and that
continually. There is no escaping this con
clusion, for the anti-dancing churches and
Christians are too openly committed in favor
of these vulgar plays for an intelligent man
to deny, that either they have acted bindly
or that the kissing and hugging sanssises
the dancing.
Now, since the experience of the past
proves that they will dance, even grave and
reverend deacOns, we are in favor of the
dancing without the ct ceteras But apart
from all comparisons, we regard dancing as
apositive good, as something which requires
no apology, but is inherently right in itself:
an efficient means Of perfecting, refining and
cultivating the crowning work of Gods cre-
alton; means appointed and directly ap-
proved by the Creator himself! 1t is liable
to abuse, and the object of reforms should
be to regulate, not to abolish it.
