Doctor Ponsoby of London was one
Of the inveterate pulpit foes of the
drama. He never lost an opportunity
OF denouncing it. One evening he met
Leigh Hunt in Trafalgar Square, and
asked hin to accompany him home in
order to witness a Representative rcci-
tat'on." "And what IS that - asked
Hunt. 81 hardly know; my girls have
been getting it up for several days, and
Lady Ashly, Sir Henry Foster and DR..
Churchvort and several others are to do
something in it. They are quite de-
lighted, all OF them. Come along and
see It," And he went and witnessed
Goldsmith's ''Shc Stops to Cououer.o
fully brought out on finely arranged
private stage under new name. Dr.
Ponsoby was charmed. and enioyed the
Representative recitation" hugely. fin
ishing off with a moral-"now if the
things the play actors did were like
that" Upon finding out the whole
truth Of tie joke he was forever after
silent about the drama. See what is 10 q

The Party OF the Union.


The Democratic party has ever resist
ed error in whatever form of Legislation
it has been presented. Measures not
clearly falling within the powers Of the
Constitution, and sanctioned by its spir-
it, have been resisted and cast down as
dangerous in the precedent they would
establish for doubtful Legislation. Every
infraction Of that sacred instrument has
been resisted, not 30 much on account of
resistance to the measure, as because Of
the terrible danger Of allowing, in a sin
gle instance, any violation Of the great
Scroll, which makes us a powerful, free,
and enlightened nation.
In the latter days of the Roman Re-
public, tho Constitution was more fire.
quently disregarded by the Consuls and
the Senate, than otherwise, until the
people aud the rulers began to regard it
with contempt, and its violation matter
OF little consequence.
That fatal error cost them what it
had taken hundreds of years to secure,t
cost them liberty, empire, land power, and
left Italy what we see it to-day, inhabit-
ed by people scourgcd by tyrants, and
degraded to the lowest depths of ignor-
ance and slavery.
Those who counsel the least infrac-
ton OF the Constitution for any fancicd,
or perhaps real purpose Of promoting
the general good, should be stunned as
dangerous counseors, as teachers Of doc.
triues revolutionary in character, and
tending to lessen the general respect for
the supremacy and sanctlty of the Con-
stitution. 1t is a strict observance Of all
its provisions, and genuine affection
for the protecting power it affords, which
gives it all its force, aud all its glory.
1t must be taken in all its parts, and
obeyed as a unit. The idea which Sew
ard incalcates respecting that clause,r re-
ferrlng to the return of fngitivcs from la
Dor, is one which is fatal in its conse-
quences. 1.-THE North may violate this
provision, the South may violate anoth-
or, and the West another, until there will
not be single provision Of the instru-
ment that is not set at naught in some Of
the States OF the Union. 1t Heaven had
smltten down the bold traitor who first
declared it moral duty to disrega ard the
Constitution, all the troubles of this day
might have been avoided. If when
those, who arc now leaders in the
Black Republican party, declared the
Constitution League with Help and
a'oompact with the devil" had been
cast out as vile and polluted beings, an
worthy of the liberty and happiness
which they enjoyed under that Constitu-
ton, the scenes enacted in Kansas
would not have occurred. But instead
Of this We see a formidable Northern
party rallying around these men, and all
uniting to overthrow the Constitution
and divide the Union. This is the par
ty struggling for ascendency in our Ma.
tional government, that they may use its
power and patronage to destroy the in.
stitutions which make US happy and
free.
November will decide whether our
country for the next four years shall be
ruled by traitors or patriots.
