Is Secession a Dodge 80

The secession phenomenon is one that
will bear much careful study. 1t is not
all an the surface. While many in South
Carolina, and some in all the cotton States,
have long been waiting for an opportunity
to inaugurate Southern Confederacy-a
Utopian consummation, to their minds of
all that is grand and desirable-there are
others that look on secession as desperate
artiice or dodge" to secure further pro-
slavery concessions from the free States.
Its apparent adoption is intended to op.
crate precisely as the threat of it has
operated heretofore, and The holder scheme
is tried now, because the other has been
worn threadbare and lost its force We
will not undertake to say in what pro-
portions these different secession motives
exist but that they do exist, is perfectly
obvious. We quote the following striking
confirmation from the speech which Mr.
Handy, the Commissioner from Mississippi
to Maryland, made in Baltimore
Secession is not intended to break up
the present government, but to perpetuate
it. We do not propose to 60 out by way
of breaking up or destroying the Union
as our fathers gave it to us, but ace go out
for the purpose Of getting further guar
antics and security for rights-not by
convention of all the Southern States, nor
by Congressional tricks, which have failed
in time past, and will fail again. But
oar plan is for the Southern States to pith-
draw from the Union for the present, to
alloac amendments to the Constitution to
be made guarantying our just rights, and
| if the Northern States will not make
those amendments by which these rights
shall be secured to us, then we must Sc
cure them the best way we can. "-Boston
Journal.

The London NeaoS seems to think that
the British North American colonies will
soon be setting up for themselves as an
independent government, and apparently
gives encouragement to this design. 1t
says the Canadians have resolute feeling
that henceforth the control of the home
government shall be merely nominal and
as the expenditure for the colonies is
greater than their contribution to the
national revenue, the NearS evidently
thinks it would be a good plan to let them
take care of themselves, provided they
will form themselves into a confedcracy.
IF the whole North America" it re-
marks, is not to form q part of the
United States, the best means of giving
strength to the people north of the st.
Lawrence is to follow the example of the
American statesmen, and to make q n.w
United States" 1t considers this step
indispensable to their future develope-
ment and remarks that it is the duty of
England to familiarize her colonies with
the prospect of independence, and to make
the path toward that consummation as
smooth as possible.
1t has been stated that the Duke of
Newcastle, since his return home, has been
engaged upon scheme for the federation
fthese colonies but whatever may be the
policy of the British government in regard
to them, it is at least questionable whether
any serious opposition would be made to
their assuming independence or forming
a union with the United States, more par.
ticularly if the Southern States should
leave the Union.--Boston Journal

GARBALDI.--A correspondent of the
Albany Journal describes Garibaldi as
being man about the medium hight, and
of powerful muscular frame. He is not
particularly imposing in his address, but
there is an impressiveness in his presence
which inspires Difference without undue
constraint. He is slightly bow-leggcd,
and in walking has swinging gait. His
face is long, his forehead lofty his eyes
hazel and dreamy; his voice soft and
musical, and his beard reddish and trim
med short. When at case his manner is
gentle as q girls, and there is dream
like expression in his countenance, indi-
eating at once the generosity Of. his heart
and the serene thoughtfulncss of his in
tellect. Simple in dress and manners, he
is equally so in his mode Of living. He
never takes wine though the common
beverage of the country. He breakfasts
on q cup of coffee and few Italian chest
nuts. He smokes however, almost in
cessantly, and is generally seen with
cigar in his mouth, lit or unlit. His
chivalric and generous character has ex-
cited the warmcst admiration of the ladies,
and the writer recently saw three elegant
young ladies, from the first families of
Capua, throw their armes about his neck
and kiss him with the affection Of daugh-
ters.--Boston Journal.

For the Newsdeale,

For the Newsdealer.
q Mr.. EDITOR Those who WELD the
pen and the press. have laudable desire,
| trust, to serve their day and generation
for good, to the greatest possible extent.
Their success however, must be deter
mined by the peers of the realm, the in
telligent public.
Having made q modest effort in the
literary world, | would like to offer a
word in it's behalf, and in behalf of the
all important study of History; in that
spirited little craft, sailing between wind
and water surely there is nowhere else
one can SAIL
The decline and almost total extinction
of the study of History, is a notorious
and deplorable fact. 1t is studied in our
colleges by those who anticipate profess
sional life, tbs true, but in our high schools,
even the history of oar oaon country, oc-
cupies no more important place in the
studies of our youth than oil or grecian
painting. Does the matter fare any bet
ter in our common schools? Yes, says
one, it is required by statute to be taught
there. Yes, by statute only! for it is not
taugM at all Now if it be true, that "the
proper things to teach boys, are those
which they should practice when they be-
come men," then it follows, that if our
boys are schooled in ignorance of our
country's history, their practice will be in
stupid ignorance of its genius or laws. Is
ignorance the boon we are bound to trans
nit to the next generation? Ignorance of
our Coasmt,y's History? Freemen, pause
Now, this need not be so longer. The
occasion Of this neglect of the study Of
history, is not altogether the fault of the
masses, but more of the masters. Our text
books are either too prolix or circum-
scribed; not adapted to inspire relish for
the study and make it easy. Something
then must be done to remove this difficulty,
and experience has taught the lesson, that
there is thirst for the waters of historic
fountains, that will be greedily imbibed if
once the rock is opened The common
people love great truths, and "hear them
gladly
The "TraH Of History" noticed in
another column, is proposed as the first
and latest stepin the right direction. This
with the Diagram and Digest, present the
great and prominent features of the history
of thought and deed, in the minds and acts
of the generations now gone to the dust,
in such light as to be highly entertaining
and make the task of acquiring historic
knowledge far from being irksome Isnot
this the thing wanted? Are not these the
help required?
The trail of history, for beginners in the
study, cannot, i.e., with books now in
print, be surpassed in dircctness, simplici-
ty of arrangement and practical useful
ness. twill soon put old heads Gn knowl-
edge upon young shoulders. Again for
persons Of limited time for reading, this
work presents all they care to know, with
less labor, less time, and far greater clear
ness than they could obtain from much
reading. AS book of reference for the
large reader and scholar, it will be found
very useful. While the Diagram and Di-
gest will enable children in the common
schools, to roll up history, as they would
snow-balls when at play.

war and bloodsheds, till, if it is neces-

off by cowardly and wicked compromises.

Dedication.

The meeting house, recently built by
the Congregational Society in North Hyde
Park, was dedicated on the 25th inst.
The services commenced at IL o'clock
with voluntary by the choir. Invoca-
ton by Rev. H. A. Stevens of Hyde Park /;
Reading of the Scriptures and hymn by
Rev. Z. N. Goddard of North Hyde Park /;
Prayer by Rev. John Gleed of Waterville !;
Sermon by Pres. Pease of the University
of Vermont Defeating prayer by Rev.
James Dougherty of Johnson; Benediction
by Pres. Pease.
The sermon occupied an hour, and was
listened to with intense interest. 1t was
logical, clear and PR tic!l, and in every
respect worthy of the distinguished man
who delivered it. The texts were Math.
Is: IA. Jno. f: T. and Jno. s: u.
The leading thoughts Of the discourse
were, that there is need in the moral world
,of light that there is light; Jesus has
broug ar light, and it is reflected by
his church. We would not attempt to
give a complete analysis of the discourse.
The choir, under the leadership Of Nj.
Joseph Christy of North Hyde Park, con-
tributed much to the interest of the ocoa-
sion.
The edi6ce is ommoaous and conv n
lent. 1t is finished with great taste and
reflects much credit upon the building COM
mittee. The earnest efforts and support
Iof Mr.. ridley Joy of North Hyde Park,
in the construction of this house, deserves
special notice. ......

ORIGIN OF DISEASE.

The wise physician knows that man must seek for
the remedy every disease in the agent that is most
positively antagonistic the cause. The gradients
Of this remedy aud preventive Of disease are procured
at the very fountains where the disease originates
Nature mas provided that plants with healing inhq-
ences shall grow in the marshes and low grounds
where most rankly the causes of Intermittent fevers
are generated. Centuries ago these properties were
discovered, and hence it is that the Persians

gers passing through their country are afflicted till
they learn OF the remedy, now carefully prepared for
the use Of the people Of this country.
