THE Position OF THE GOVERNOR OF LOUISIANA
The New Orleans Delta of Wednesday last contains
long letter from Governor Moore. in reply to a
note sent him by number of promnen: citizens,
requesting his opinion to the proper policy for
the South to pursue in the event of the Of
the Republican party The letter of the Governor
is elaborate discussion of the question at ISSUE
but closes with the following direct reply to the in
terrogatory:
1t is asked, if Lincoln be elected President what
should the South do? To this answer, that do
not regard it as wise or prudent to commit myself
either as citizen or magistrate, 20 any extreme
measure. But speaking for myself and for myself
alone, am free to say that the success of Mr. Lin
coin would justify the Southern States in withdraw
ing from the Union. But do not advise, o. bind
myself personally, Or officially, to this particular
course. | think the Southern States should meet
in conference, as some means may be devised to
save US from the disunion that all deprecate, and
none would lament more sincerely than myself
Although surrounded by gloom and danger, l ain
not without hope that we shall yet weather the
storm.
Reared in a political school. one of whose funda-
mental maxims is not to despair of the Republic,
rest, if not with confidence yet hopefully, in the
belief that the good of the people will yet be
made to rebuke the infidety and fanaticsm Of those
who are striving to obtain possession of the Govern
ment in order to promote their evil designs. And
more than this, feel that the South is awakening
to the magnitude Of the dangers that encompass
her, and that our people, by an overwhelming ma
jority composed If Wings, Democrats and Ameri-
cans, will show that We can at least present to
the enemy an unbroken column and united de-
fance.
| have endeavored to reply to yovr note with
frankness and with fairness to all. consider the
condition of public affairs so unfortunate that it be-
comes every good citizen to forego former party dis
sensions. 1t is doubtless known to you all that
am Democrat but beg you to believe that this
reply to your note is not written in partisan spirit
All my interests are in Louisiana, and you will
pardon me for saying that they are large. | have
tried to answer you with moderation, and to state
nothing but what am convinced is strictly true
Our strongest reliance for the preservation of the
Union is upon united South, and that can be
manifested only by supporting Mr.. Breckenridge.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
THO. O. MOORE.
To Messrs. R. W. Estin John c. Kicks, W. Cox,
and others.

NoRTH-CARoL1Nx WESTERN RAHRoAD-Mr Geo.
Wadsworth, Chief Engineer of the Dalton and Jack
sonville Railroad Company, in his late report,
speaking of the connections Of that line, says: In
addition to the above, through connections, there
is . road being built through the whole length of
North Carolina to Asheville, and which has been
projected on to Dalton, by way Of Murphy and Duck
Town Copper Mines, which will eventually form an
important extension of your road. The route has
been surveyed with reference to turnpike, and the
distance made about thirty-seven mixes from Dalton
to the copper mines. It is very likely railroad
may be located ever this route without much in
crease Of distance large share of these mines are
owned by parties in Mobile and New Orleans, and
it is very probable that they also will make them
selves interested in the construction of this road
This line of roads has an eastern terminus at Nor
folk. Va. and another at Morehead City or Beaufort
Harbor." This would make up continuous line
from the southern seaboard Of Virginia to the Gulf
1t Mobile and it is highly important that it should
have its proper attention.-Asheoile Ns,cs

SUNBEAMs FLASHING THROUGH THE CLouDs-Sen.
ator Hammond, of South Carolina, whose present
term of service expires the fourth OF March next
has since the recent legislative election in South
Carolina, declared himself candidate for reeection
to the seat he now holds in the Senate OF the Uns'
ted States, for another term of six years. This
movement on the part Of Ex-Governor Hammond,
under existing circumstances, is indicative of tru-
" conservative spirit and in view Of it. savors
but little of the ultraism which is threatening to
push South Carolina over the precipice on which
She stands, into the abyss of disunion.
Again-Tn Pennsylvania we have authentic lnfor-
nation that the Douglas and Breckenridge wings
of the Democracy have at last fused upon the Elec
toral ticket in that State which all conservative and
iearn-for although it does not secure the certain
defeat of Lincoln, it yet greatly strengthens the
chances against him. and therefore encourages bright
er hopes of Pennsylvania voting, in November, in
favor of the Union ticket
Agan-In the two Boston Congressional Districts
thorough coalition has been formed between the
parties opposed to Burlingame and Rice the present
black Republican members and candidates. and con-
seouently their success is renderd extremely doubt
full. If they shall be defeated, two more anti-Re-
publicans will be added to the roll of the next Con-
press This would be proud result, and it would
exercise truly salutary influence upon the public
mihd everywhere.
In two or three of the New York city Congress
sona districts, now represented by Lincolnites. the
fusion of the Opposition has been so complete as to
render almost certain the return Of national con-
sentative member for the next congress from eacn
of those districts.
There is every to believe that in several of
the other districts in the State there will be like
result and So if Lincoln should he elected there
will he strong majority in both Houses of Con-
gress against him.
We state these facts with view to show that the
present aspect of things although sombre and trou-
bled has yet some redeeming and cheering features
gence which the conservative press, WITHOUT refer
ence to party should with glad emotions lay before
the country. in order to check those impulses Of
rashness which are, in advance of an apprehcnded
calamity hurrying portion of the people into
manifestations of most deDlorable character

"PERsEvERANcE Is PowER"-By patient, unwea-
ried self:reant industry, Stephenson rose from OBJ
security to world-renown, and emphatically proved,
throughout the whole of his laborious life,
that perseverance is power. By word, as by exam
pe he strove on every available occasion to enforce
this important truth. On one of his last public ap-
pearances he told the mechanics Of Leeds he stood
before them as a humble mechanic. He had risen
from lower standing than the meanest person
there; and all that he had been able to accomplish
in the course of his life had been done through per-
severance. He said this for the purpose of eHcour
aging youthful mechanics to do as he had done
persevere" 1t was remarkable that, although Ste
phcnson was originally endowed with strong mind.
an nquirng spirit and great constructive SKILL he
attributed to perseverance all his success ANY
man he considered, might have done what he did by
simple tenacty of purpose and the resolution to be
undaunted by difficulties. He never plumed him
self upon the possession Of superior powers nor was
there any affectaton in describing himself as hum
bic mechanic, when he was universally recognized
as the greatest engineer of the day. He had all the
manly modesty, the unpretending, unconscious great
ness, which ever characterize the true genius. So
cial elevation did not destroy his natural humanity
Popular applause he estimated at its true value
His personal worth impaired new dignity to his me-
chanical eminence; his heart was as sound as his
head he was as much beloved as he was admired.
George Stephenson was, in fine genuine English
man-frank, fearless, heroic, vigorous in thought
and energetic in action. He has left behind him a
memorable name, and his works will ever be his no.

The TITLE OF D. Dan unsuccessful attempt
was made at the recent meeting of the Synod of the
o. S. Presbyterian Church Of Virginia to abolish
the custom of ministers accepting the title of Doctor
of Divinity. The following is the origin Of the
title:
The origin of the title of D. D. and Ii D. date
back to the twelfth century, at the first establish
ment of the Universities and were then held in high
esteem The first person upon whom the title of
Doctor was conferred was Irnerius, learned Pro
fessor Of Law at the University of Bologna He in
duced the Emperor Lothaire H., whose Chancellor
he was, to create the title and he himself was the
first recipient to it. He was made Doctor Of Laws
by that University. Subsequently the title was
borrowed by the faculty of theology, and first by
the University of Paris on Peter Lombard the cele.
brated scholastic theologian William Gordenie was
the first upon whom the title Of Doctor Of Med
cine was bestowed, who received it from the College
OF Austin 1929. For several ages the doctorate was
title invested with honor, but in the present CEN
fury, and especially in this country there are 50
many thousands Of them that the title is greatly d
minished in value, and now hardly worth having.

How IS THE GOSPEL TO REACH THE MASSES ?-Mr.
Sturgeon gives his views this question in
cent letter to the Boston Watchman and Reflector,
from which we transfer the following paragraphs to
our columns:
1t is my firm belief that the salvation Of London
will not come from colleges and seats of learn
ing, but from her dens and haunts of poverty. l
look for al; army of converted sinners from St. Giles
and White chapel, men in whom fury in sin will be
exchanged for energy in righteousness whose graft
tude for pardon will endow them with hearts of fire,
and whose acquaintance with the language of the
masses will give them tongues of fire.
Books may educate ministers for the polite; only
experience and study Of men can prepare man to
touch the hearts of the masses We need preachers
who will study not their shelves, but the streets
and lanes; not paper and printing alone, but human
nature in all its varied developments. The division
between the ministry and the people is far too wide;
they will never be moved by professional skill, the
orator of the mass must be bone OF their bone and
flesh Of their flesh.
NY own success, under God is due to q sympa-
thy with humanity and an observant eye which de-
lights rather to view man than mans works. This
is not attanable by any amount Of research among
our learned tones. We must walk the hospitals, if
we would be surgeons and we must mingle with
the people if we would reach their hearts, The Ian
guage of the classroom is not the speech o: the peo
pie, and if we would be understood, we must leave
our high stills behind US and walk on their level,
thinking and speaking as one of themselves.
We need converted prize-6ghters and regenerated
burglars to reach their fellow criminals and sweeps,
cobblers, strectsweepers and such like, will be the
right material for mighty preachers of the
truth. Only Thou, Lord, put to Thine hand
Do not imagine that | deprecate q regular educa-
ton; on the other hand own its utility, but for
the vast mass something else is needed, and have
tried to indicate it.
There is good work going on in London, and
the activity Of the Christian church is everywhere
increasing just now the Primitive Methodists seem
to he the most alive and brother of the name of
Richard Weaver, converted prizefghter, who
wears the alias of Undaunted Dick is drawing large
