The REsouRrEs OF rHE soUrH-The
Philadelphia Pennsylvania, in reviewing the
late election in that State, remarks:


Conservative Pennsylvania seems disposed
to join herself 10 that Northern Abolition
partys which, if true to It's professions must
dissolve the Union.
When it breaks the chief bonds of Union as
fornedb by the Constitution the South will have
nothing left to it bat to declare, to promul-
gate what THE North has actually done. When
the North commits that high-handed act, then
the South will declare free trade, and make
treaties with European powers. giving them
priority and preference and excluding North
erfl products, manufactures and ships. The
North will thus be left to support itself, and To-
compete with Europe
The South may theainyite the idle artisans
and manufacturers of the North to come to
them, where they will have employment.
Now, Of every six dollars earned by the South,
four of them are paid to the North. The
South can exchange witlrEurope her cotton
and her tobacco for whatever she wants; the
North will have nothing comparatively to ex-
change There smoothing whatever which the
South now receives from the North which it
cannot get cheaper elsewhere. The North
can nowhere else get what It now gets from
the South. In these two sentences there are

The unworthy attempts of partisans to charge
the responsibility of those individual acts
upon whole section, and to arraign it before
the world as sympathizing with such GRIMM
atty, has provoked a feeling of deep indigna-
ton, because of this shameful injustice. The
North knows its duties and its rights, and
means to fulfil the one and assert the 9th cr in
the Union and under the Constitution. 1t has
no desire to infringe upon any right of the
South, nor to encourage, palliate or justify
outrages upon or invasions of its territory, OF
any means by which they may be melted, nor
to disturb those relations of brotherhood by
which we have grown into the proportions
and dignity of great nation.
THE Constitution was framed and adopted
in spirit of concilliation and mutual con-
cession. If we do not inherit the virtues, we
may at least cherish the precept and example
of the fathers who perfected that work of
wisdom and patriotism. In the dark hours of
the Republic, when civil commotion threat

a NEW DROP GAME.-New Y York sharp
ers are somewhat famous for their adroit-
ness for raising the wind :" but the
following specimen of Western knavery
is rather ahead of New York in that line
of business. The Seymour Times says
GA man of genteel appearance, with
carpet sack in hand, taking it a foot, came
along the public square in Lexington,

the square, dropped dead to all appearance.
Everybody ran, medical aid was called,
rubbing commenced, the stranger still
slept and was very stiff to all appearances
his limbs were paralyzed, so that he could
be raised without the limbs giving away.

So stood the law in Pennsylvania on
the 9th day of April, in the year of our
Lord, 1850, and SO it remaineth even unto
this day
But what cared Sunna Vagun for the
law? He had formed wilful, deliberate
and premeditated purpose to 60 a-hunt-
ing. And go he would, regardless of the
consequences.
Itwas the second day of january, 1860
Sunna Vagun had long cherished de-
sire to "hunt, chase or follow" "buck,
doe or fawn' with "design to kill or
destroy it-and not only so but, if pos
sible, to carry that design into execution.
An opportunity to distinguish himself as
"a mighty hunter" had never before pre-
sented itself 1t wasn't his fault if that
opportunity happened to come on the I'd
day of January.

Was he to be foiled of most glorious
purpos6-of most brilliant achievement
simply because that which he meditated

penalties on an individual whom they had
never seen, never heard Of, and about
whom they didn't care a-red? They
had no such right.
Sunna Fagun was not to be deferred
The penalties of a rusty old act of Assem-

Horrible Suffering of a Family.

On Saturday afternoon last, during the
prevalence of a severe storm, Young man
who had been sent from ST. Clair to Ha-
zelton, with team, for the purpose of re-
moving the family of Mr. Valentine
Frantz, to the former place, hound it nee
essary to unhitch his horses and leave the
family on mountain, to go home and
have his horses shoes sharpened The
persons composing the family, left in that
dangerous position, were Mrs Frantz, five
small children, and an elder daughter and
her husband. After the driver had been
absent some time, the family left the wag-
on, for the purpose, if possible, of reach
ing their home but the rain falling fast,
and freezing as rapidly as it fell, impeding
their progress. Mrs. Frantz sunk to the
ground a dozen times, i'll distance of be-
tween one and two miles, yet she clung!te
and protected her babe with the ferfor
which characterizes a mothers love. At
last Mrs. Frantz, overcome by cold and
fatigue, coLll proceed no further The
young man placed her and four of the chill
iren on TIE ground in as sheltered a po-
sition as ne could find, picked up the
remaining child, boy, in his arms, and
proceeded home as rapidly as possible.
On reaching home he informed his
friends OF the occurrence, and they star
ted in search Of the unfortunate sufferers
When discovered, Mrs. Frantz and the
children We're insensible The mother
was lying on her back, with her babe
pressed tightly to her bosom, while her
clothing was frozen to the ground One
of the children, a little girl while attempt
ing evidently, to crawl up the hill, had
slipped, her clothing was all stripped
from her person, and she was found ex-
posed and frozen to the ground The
children were taken to place Of shelter,
but Mrs. Frantz was not removed until
wagon had been procured. The first in
quiry from her lips, when restored to
consciousness, was for her children. The
boy first taken home has died. 1t is
thought that Mrs. Frantz Will recover
The babe is well. There is, however some
doubt of the recovery of the other chill
dren. What the little family suffered in
the long hours of that Saturday afternoon
and night, exposed to the peltings of a
pitiless storm, and to the chilling atmos-
phere Of a winter day, on a bleak noun

and their friends ignorant Of their condi-

children, our readers can imagine We
