Louisiana.

From the special message of the Govern.
or of Louisiana TO the Slate Legislture, at It's
recent extra session, we. extract The follow
paragraphs -
The time was when men shrank from
calculations of the value of the Union
That has long since passed, and now they
who, during long ife, have ever cherish

obeyed by the Northern people only when
IL chimes whith their theoretical opinions,

tically assigned the position of interiors

we are equals if We are 10 be oppressed

not dispute the fact tha, Mr. Lincoln is elec.
ed according 10 the forms of the Constlu-
tion; but the greatest oulrages, both upon
public and private rights, have been per.
peIated under the forms of law. This
question rises high above ordinary political
considerations. Ii involves our present
honor and our future existence as a free
and independent people. 1t may be said
that, when this Union was formed, it was
intended TO be perpetual. So it was, so far
as such a term can be applied TO any thing
human; but il was inten ded 10 be admin

OF each State TO secede from the Union and,
therefore, whatever course Louisiana may

sion TO an authority which she has ceased
TO recognize, should unhesilatingly recon-

Colonies assisted each other in their strug-
gle against the depolism of the Old World.

Who is Responsible +!

A writer in the Buffalo Commercial, Lin
coin paper, makes the following confession
in regard to the responsibility of the North
for the present crisis
''Let the North, especially New England,
remember that for this fearful resul: they
are primarily and mainly responsible, by
their reasonable legislation. by hdr room
and pulpit assaults upon the South, in which
unholy alliance o. things sacred and pro-
fame, all epithets have been, exhausted, ali
sound principle abandoned, and new terms
of denunciaiion and hatred invented, irri
tating at last to madness the excitable pop
ulaiion of the South, who. for quarter of
century, have had these Goals of FIRE heaped
upon their heads.
"Let the North and West remember, also,
that the necessary subjugation of the sece-
ding States will be victory without honor
and causes of profit; that half century OF
prosperity will hardly restore the national
loss, or heal the resulting enmities that
commercial distress and almost universal
bankruptcy will clothe our cities in mourn
ing. and reduce all real estate, both in city
and country TO hall its present value. Let
them restore the integrity OF the Consutu
ton, repeal all reasonable laws, and offer
the olive branch 10 their exasperated breth-
rem at the South. If war must come, lei

THE smaH-t,y in the Republican party
were rather inclined TO eulogise the Mes
sage of JAMES BUCHANAN when they first
saw il. But their views OF il were soon
changed, after one or two publications OF
the New York Tribune, Times, and the North
Ameyrcan, of Philadelphia. AS matter OF
rnnrse. these papers could not endorse the
what course they would pursue. Tie tiirst
couple OF days these papers filed objections
to the document; and on The third and
fourth days they commenced showing cause
why objections were filed. By this time
both the small and large Press of the Re.
publican party are believing most lremen
dously over the Message, and denounce il
as the poorest and weakest document ever
eminating from the President of the United
States. Ii does not suit them, neither was
il intended 10. James Buchanan is not APT
to make a mistake or this kind. and pul
forth Message 10 their liking He designs

co.dingly. He understands this RepubIi-
can faction pretty well and has no notion ot
allowing ii 10 lake any advantages of his
administration.

the cause of complaint by the South and

Government Of Gen. Jackson. Without, in

widely different state of our political affairs
now from what they were then, it is suffi-
cient 20 say thai that difficulty was settled,
moi by coercion, but By compromise. -
South Carolina demanded redress OF griev-
aHces by the repeal or modification of the
tariff Of 1873, which bore heavily upon her
industry. 1t was On this issue that she
made preparations for secession from the

Clay introduced his Tariff Compromise

TERRIBLE CALAMITY IN MaRIETTA-Four
ChildIen Burnt 10 Death.-On Sunday even :
ing, about O'Clock, fire broke out in a
two story frame house occupied by color
ed man named John Walker, in an alley
opposite Samuel Johnson's stable, Marietta,
and before il was discovered, or before as
sistance reached the spot, the interior was
a sheet of fame, and four children--three
of them belonging TO Walker, and the other
child of his sisier-i -law-pershed in tie
flames. II appears, says the Express, that,
early in the evening, the children were put
10 bed on the second story, and that shortly
afterwards the father locked the door and
went to church, leaving .he fire in the slove
down stairs. There was some kindIng
wood on The Top of the stove, which it is
supposed caught fire. and hence The cause
OF the frightful calamity As soon as the
alarm was given, several persons were
quickly on the spot, and for a few seconds
the terrified faces of the children were seen
at an upper window, but they soon disap.
peared and were not afterwards seen until
their chsrred remains were picked out OF
the snouldering ruins. The ages OF the
children ran from about four TO Ten years.
Another. boy about l3 years, who was
also in bed at the time, fortunately escaped
without injury.

Educate the Brain.

We design entertaining our readers a
few moments upon this very importan: sub
iect, from the fact we think it one neglected
more than any other. The brain, as you
all know, or al least we suppose you dn, IS
not a simple organism, but series OF or
gans and compartments. See, then, that
you do not unduly exercise one power, let
all have :heir share of employment this
may at present be difficult, but if is becom'
ing every day more easy of attainment. All
the powers of the brain were gwen for en-
ployment and exercise, Of this we may be
assured let there be variation of employ
ment thus the power of each compart-
ment may be increased, and, let it be re-
membered, too, that variation of mental
employment is relaxation page OF Mil
ton, and mathematical problem, seem
very opposite to each other, but this is the
very reason why one may perhaps follow
closely upon the other; it is in the princi-
pe of reaction that we find the method
of the physical development OF the brain ;
| there is a rush of blood to that organ which
is called into play, and the flow and rehow
resulting from the intensity of mental opera
tion, expands the organ and increases its
energy and power. We are unable 10 ex-
| plain how this is, nor can we explain why
an increase of strength should be the prop.
erty of the arm from the increase of exer'

there, let US use it.
