EDWARD EVERETT.

AS proof of the estimation in which this distin-
guished gentleman is held, we give the following
statement from the Savannah Republican, of the

nominees ofthe National Union Conventions

the matter with that decision and frmness which
has characterized its action in wholesome re-

Our Sentiments.

We approve and endorse the sentiments utter
tract. We say again that if yankees will steal ne
groes from Africa the. government should not be
forced to foot the bills for their return and susten
ance after reaching there, and we denounce any
law principle that makes it incumbent upon
Congress to do it. The government does not pay
the owners for slaves which Abell'ionists steal
from the South. Why does not Mr.. Buchanan
have them returned in government vessels?

BY ANDREW DOWNING.
What shall write. my gentle friend
What shall wish for thaa A'Aohu'
And llfe summer sea? '""'
All, no alb, no! but rather this.
That thou'lt be true and good
With heart and brain cast in the mould
Of perfect womanhood
That long may rest upon thy brow.

Its glorious promise in thy heart,
And holy love and truth.
Then nothing will fear for thee,
Wher'er thy lot be cast
The loved of al thy Joy shall be,
And Heaven thy home at last

WoMAN's MARRIAGE.-To marry man,
while loving and loved by another is about the
most grevious fault that woman can commit. 1t
is sin against kindness and truth. 1t involves
giving that legal right which is guilty and shame

ton. 1t involves woundng the spirit, whitening
the heart perhaps blightng and soiling the soul
of the one who is abandoned and betrayed, 1t
involves the speedy dsenchantment of the one

promised the substance, and who grasped only
the phantom, soulless beauty, and the husk the
shell, the skeleton of dead affection. 1t entails
ceasess deception, at home and abroad by day
and by night at down sitting and uprising;
deception in every relation-deception in the ten
derest and most endearing moments of our exist
ence. 1t makes the whole oflife weary, degrading
unrewarded ife A right minded woman could
certain to bring down fearful expiation. For
woman in every truth, this is sin against the Holy
Ghost-the sin unto death-the sin casts terrible
darkness over both words.
