Union SAVING In Rostnn.

The Redpath John-Brown birthday per-
formance, at Boston, was suppressed by SUI
perior numbers and force. The Union is
safe, South Carolina will regard this as the
effect of her terrors and will pile up'more
agony. Boston merchants will all be re-
garded as sound on the goose and the John
Brown birthday performances, which were
about dead, will derive vitality enough from
this advertising and from this little bit of
persecution and mob-law, to carry them along
for many years. 1t was wise policy to take
a thing which was in the last stages of dis
solution, and furnish It with capital to re-
new its business. Boston notions are past

secession ISeIisiop.

The Governor of Alabama seeded from
his thanksgiving proclamation, declined to
pay what be regarded as not due, and or
dercd a day of fasting The Governor is
determined not to recognize any obligation
to give thanks unless he eau have every
thing his own way.
This Southern religion is queer affair. In
Dahomoy, when they fail in a popular-sov-
ereignty foray on neighboring village for
the purpose Of regulating their domestic in
stitutions in their own way, they take down
their gods and give them sound whipping.
This and the use Of the proper rmeans-which
is an important feature in all countries
rarely fails to bring blessing on the next
attempt
If these Southern Christians could, they
would resort to the same means. They show
the disposition plainly enough. They get in
a pet and refuse TO give thanks, and scold
God and appropriate him to secession, and
strike out the prayers for the President OF
the United States, and seem to threaten God
that if lie recognizes the Union, He can not
have their worship.
They ought to get Gallant set up as the
Hebrews did, so as to have god in their
own image. Or their favorite emblem, the
rattle-snake, with rattles perpctually sprung,
might be turned into a brazen serpent for
their worship.
The religion of every people takes its
character from their own, subject to modi6-
cations by the traditions of former ages.
That of South Carolina would be best in
cornatcd by the deities we have mentioned;
ard the sooner they settle down on their
natural and proper worship the less they
will be exposed to infdelity.

A Canine PreseFyer-A Noble Dog Saves
the Lives of Two Children.

In the severe and too memorable winter
of 1909, when the wheat, olives, vines and
fruit trees were frozen in France, the wolves
committed i;.ii if;h.s.i favages in the interior
of that country, and even attacked men.
One of these ferocious beasts, after having
broken a window, entered thatched cottage
in the forest of Orte, hard by Angouleme.
Two children, one six and the other eight
years old, lay asleep, waiting the return of
their mother, who was gone to gather some
wood TO make fire with. Seeing no resist
ance, the wolf leaped upon the bed to de-
your the tender prey. Seized with sudden
fright, these two boys slipped under the
mattress, and there lay fiat without breath
ing. So near the flesh, and not being able
to reach it Immediately, the murderous aui-
NAL became more excited; he began to tear
the blanket and all the bed clothes to shreds.
weak as these obstacles were, nevertheless,
they were the saving of the boys lives.
While the enraged wolf sought them an
enormous mastif (Which followed their
mother, his mistress, into the woody came ND
now in time to deliver them. The dog
caught the scent at some distance from the
houses, TO which the villagers loaded with
wood, were slowly walking. He ran with
the swiftness of deer, entered like lion
and fell upon the enemy, which now crouched
into corner. Selling the cowardly wolf hy
the throat, he dragged him to tue door, and
strangled him upon the road
Let any one picture to himself the fright
ful state of the poor mother on her return
home. She sees at her feet dead Wolf her
dog covered with blood; the bed ransacked;
the children no more. Having a presenti-
ment of what was passing-his mistresss
distIess-he came toward her with an ener-
getic solicitude, aud, returning to the bed,
he dives his head several times under the
mattress, seeming to say to her she would
find there what was most precious. The
stretched out her hand and felt her bows,
She hastily withdraws them. One moment
longer and they would have been suffocated.
As soon as they had recovered their senses,
they frankly told her of their perils, how
the wolf entered, and how they were saved.

T6e en,uro OF te-EmersOn's Idea Of
Destiny.

Destiny.
From Tie advance sheets Of Ralph Waldo
Emerson's new work, the Conduct Of lie,
we clip the following respecting Fate
The book of Nature is the book of Fate.
She turns the gigantic pages---leaf after
leaf-never returning one. One leaf she
lays down, a floor of granite; then q athousand
ages and bed of slate; thousand ages,
and a bed of COAL thousand ages, and a
layer Of mari and mud; vegetable forms ap-
pear; her first misshapen animals, zoophyte,
trilobium, fish; then, saurians-rude forms,
. in which she has only blocked her future
statue concealing under these unweldy
monsters the fine type of her coming king.
The face of the planet cools and dries the
races meliorate, and man is born. But
when race has lived its term, 1t comes no
more again.
The population Of the world is condi-
tional population; not the best, but the best
that could live now; and the scale of tribes,
and the stesdiness with which victory ad-
heres TO one tribe, and defeat to another, is
as uniform as the superposition of strata.
We know in history what weight belongs to
race. We see the English, French and Ger
mans planting themselves on every shore
and market of America and Australia, and
monopolizing the commerce of these coun-
tries. We like the nervous and victorious
habit of our own branch of the family. We
follow the step of the Jew, of the Indian, of
the Negro. We see how much will has been
expended to extinguish the Jew, in vain.
Look at the uupalatable conclusions of
Knox, in his Fragment Of Roses" q rash
and unsatisfactory writer, but charged with
pungent and unforgetable truths. mature
respects race, and not hybrids" EVERY raoe
has its own habitat" 'Detach O colony from
the race, and it deteriorates to the crab.
See the shades of the picture. The German
and Irish millions, like the Negro, have a
great deal of guano in their destiny. They
are ferried over the Atlantic, and carted
ever America, to ditch and to drudge, and
to make corn cheap and then to lie down
prematurcly to make a spot Of green grass
on the prairie.
Fate is unpenetrated causes. The water
browns ship and sailor, like grain of dust.
But learn to swim, trim your bark, and the
wave which drowned it will be cloven by it,
and carry it, like its own foam, plume and
power. The cold is inconsiderate of per-
sons, tingles your blood, freezes man like
dew-drop. But learn to skate, and the ice
will give you agraceful, sweet and poetic mo-
tion. The cold will brace yourlimbS and brain
TO genius, and make you foremost among
men of time. Cold and sea will train an inn
perial Saxon race, which nature can not bear
to lose, and, aftereQoping it up for a thou
sand years in yonder England, gives hun
dred Engands hundred Mexicos All the
blood it shall absorb and domneer; and more
than Mexicos-the secrets of water and
steam, the spasms of electricity, the due
tility of metals, the chariot of the air, the
ruddered balloon are awaiting you.

Iueerdiary Pictures in the South.

HGrPers' Weekly has made itself notorious
for fupkeyism to Southern prejudice. But
after the election it published portrait of
Lincoln. This was regarded as incendiary
in the South, and that number was sent
back from Charleston. Since that it has
gone vigorously to work publishing cuts of
Charleston scenes, in which that distracted
locality is served up in every style. 1t is
astonishing how crowded the streets Of that
quiet town are in the pictures, and it would
seem that the revolutionary war was chiefly
carried on by South Carolina, and that the
other colonies were rather an incumbrauce
on her than otherwise.
This is very we'll but through all this the
cloven-foot Of the Harpers sticks out in the
shape of q genuine Wide awake torch in the
center of the vignette on the first page. Ifa
Wide-awake torch is not incendiary in the
South, we should like to know what is.

The Einannea.

The President has nothing to say Of the
financial condition of the nation. Evidently,
it is not a pleasing subject for the Admins
trstion to dwell upon. He states hat the
treasury requires immediate relief; and this,
although the country up TO the time the re-
ports were made up had been more prosper
Gus than Mr.. Cobb could have anticipated
when he stated that the revenue would be
enough TO carry through the year without
increasing the tariff.
He pretends to show a reduction Of ex-
penditures, hut it appears to be made by
taking the actual payments up to the close of
the fiscal year, as the expenditures when the
fact is, that there is always balance Of un-
expended appropriations of from ten to fif-
teen millions, at the end Of the year, which
belongs TO the years expenditures. This
arises from various circumstances, among
which are the payments for remote service
The President comes out stronger than
ever for a protective tariff, and specific du-
ties "a tending more thereto. He uses the
protective argument as lever to get a sufli-
cieAt increase of duties to pay the expenses
Of Government, and stop the accumulation
Of public debt.
Ststesmanship must be at low ebb in
this country, when the policy Of raising the
revenue necessary to support the Govern
ment, is made to hang on theory of pro-
lection, which is an utter fallaoy in princi-
pie, and which in practice is impossible,
and is repudiated by the protectionists them
selves, in every thing but their own special
article.

Misery seeking Company.

The Presidents recommendation for the
purchase of Cuba by country which he
represents as in imminent danger of falling
TO pieces, shows that he has humor in him.
Topny $500, OOQ 900 or 100, OOO 600 for a couu-
try, when he takes the ground that as soon
as annexed, the Federal Government is
poweri'ss TO prevent it from seeding, is
certainly the best joke of the season. If the
Spaniards have mind to play Peter Funk
by selling their island and then seeding it,
they can make handsome thing of it.

C4PTAIS SIoETGoNERY, now figuring in
Kansas raids, is about forty years of age,
slightly built, and of much GOODNESS and
courage. He is a Kentuckian, and was a
resident in Missouri, and was pro-slayery
man till the opening of Kansas for settle
ment. There the wrongs inflicted on him
drove him to arms in sell-defense, and he
soon became leader among the Free-State
men. In 1859 he led party to Fort Scott,
and released some men held there as prison
ers. He is a man of the JOhu Brown stamp.

The President declares that the Federal
Government was formed by the people, act
ing in their sovereign capacity; and formed,
consequently, by the same authority which
formed tho State Constitutions; and is not
less Government than the State Govern
meEts are; ard it was intended to be per-
petusl ard that "its powers embrace the
very highest attributes of sovereignty; and
they place both the sword and purse under
its CONTROL and it is the duty Of the Execu-
tive Leforc God to see that the laws be faith
fully executed.
But he says he has no power to enforce
the laws against secession. He can not
employ The army and navy, because the
Marshal must first have ordered the in
surgen's 10 disperse; and there is no Federal
Judge in South Carolina to issue the process
to the Marshal therefore, if single State
unanimously secedes and resists, there is no
way in which the President can interfere
with her.
A nation, with the highest attributes of
sovereignty, and with President under
such solemn obligations to enforce the laws
who has 10 power to put down rebellion,
nor to prevent the dropping out of any of
lis members, is nice specimen of the high
est attributes Of sovereignty.

Our Foreign RcIntions.

The President says, "Our relations with
Spain are now of more complicated, though
less dangerous character, than they have
been for many years."
1t seems that the more complicated our
foreign relations are made the safer they
grow. Then the present Administration
must be admirably adapted to the foreign-re-
lation business.

Defense Of the MIC nI,oken Kxeoutor..

We feel constrained to defend the exec
utOrs of the McMicken estate from the in
sidious attack of the Enquirer upon their
moderate charge of$3O, 900 for extra services
in taking care of the real and personal
property. Newspapers should never wan
tonly assail those who give their time to the
discharge of benevolent trusts; more es-
pecially, trusts so holy as for the cause OF
education; and most especially when UNDER
taken by those whose disinterested zeal in
the cause of education has already been dis
tinguished
The Enquirer states that 'the time of the
executors for the last three years has been
altogether taken up in devotion to their
trust, and they have had under manage
ment property worth million Of dollars,
located in widely-separated parts of the
county, Therefore, it says, eve do not
think tie executors have been any too well
paid for their services
Mark the sly nature of this The execu-
tors lad duly rendered their accounts the
year before. By calling this reasonable
caarge for three years, the Enquirer means
that 1t was three times too much for one.
This is nothing less than accusing the execu-
tors of robbery. 1t seems to us that this is o
harsh manner of treating gentlemen who
have devoted themselves to an educational
object.
But this is not the worst of the EagNirei's
treatment oil these public benefactors. 1t in
ciudes the management of the real estate,
aad increases it to more than double its
value in estimating the value of the execu-
tors services at $50 600, merely to show that
as the property is worth less than half this
amount, and as the real estate, amounting to
S425 600, has been managed by the trustees
appointed by the Council, at an expense of
about $500, and as only the amount of $75,-
900 of personal property was managed by
the executors, therefore the charge is pro-
portiorately exorbitant.
In this insidious way, whils pretending to
vindisate the charge Of $50, 900, the Enquirer
really makes out that it was more than ten
times zoo much. We doubt if such attacks
upon benevolent and educational gentlemen
are justifable. 1t looks very much as if the
Enquirer was opposed to popular education.

sIr. Olabnok 10 .Le rarl Of GeneraI IaeI..


The Presidents Jaeksonian denomination
sgainst secession is strikingly like the per-
foImanoe of the domestic animal in the
lions skin. He clothes himself in part oi
the disqualification message of General
jackson, and assumes q very determined
mica against the right of secession, and pro-
noUnees Il revolution.
But here the Jaeksonian part breaks down,
and the long ears stick out, and his bray dis
closes that he has no power to back his anti
secession argument, but has been masquer-
aiding in habit which does not belong to
him.
This Is not much like Old Hickory. HI
not only denied the right of notification
but declared his determination to enforce
the laws. Mr.. Buchanan is not Old Hickory
snd il is rather late in life for him to 90 into
training for thAtpaFt.
