My Frend-Sin makes il.e puri.os, younr
man or woman in the world look ugly -ah. And
Ltcll We how j know-ah. / Was coming up ,o
church TO day when saw some men in tic
road -ah, and thought Of them was the pur-
test young man ever saw in nav lifc-ah. And
a. drew nigh unto them discovered that tl.cy
were playing marvcl.-ah. and ,lcy all drew nigh
unto place they called taw, and they mar, ell
ed-ah. And this young man was the last to
mar,el-ah. And when he uiarycled be junuc,l
up and hapPed his hands as n rooster dors hi,
wings, and SAVE hc, Il be d---d il | hant fat
all" And oh my friends, then thought b. wa.
thc ugliest young r.an ever saw in all INV if.ah
And opened my mouth unto him and spak-
thus says |, young man thi. is not the way To
-alvatiun-ah." And says he. Odd Horse i. Won
had bin salivsurd ~ bad hs I ha,e YOU
wouldn't want to hear talk of salvation
And now, my friends when that ere young
man said he WAS iatah, he told lie-ah fJr hc
was ~ lean rs tllat hungry luoking sister over
thar, that's always praying pa, y wh,n thc
hat Is being passed roundah.
And my friend, IL that Young man hadnt
bccu blinded by SIN. h- never could q mistuke
me for an old horseah."

The Emnlra State !

Georgia, the Empire State of the South"
has acted with spirit and promptness On Sat
urday last the 10Th instant, her Convention
passed the Ordinance Of Secession by a vote of
20S to 80, being majority ll9 This act, we
we'll imagine, will settle the question of
peace or war. With FIVE States out Of the Union
coercion will be no child's play and we con-
fdently believe, unless all reason has departed
from the Federal rulers, that we shall now have
peace.
We heartily welcome Georgia into the South
ern family Of Seeding States Now for the
great Southern Confederacy
The Secession of Georgia has been hailed with
demonstrations Of delight by the people of the
the seeding States. Nowhere has it been more
jubilant or heartfelt than in South Carolina.
The Louisiana Convention was to meet on the
23l. A tclcgraphic despatch from New Orleans,
dated the 10Th, states that "two-thirds of the
delegates to the Convention are secessionists !"
Louisiana will be the Sixth Secession STAR

The Federal Capitol

Is alive with kilograms of doubtful import
and rumors without mention. We copy such
news from this point as is at all reliable
The President and his cabinet appear to be
in quiet state of mind.
Congress is not doing much. The withdraw
al OF the Senators and representatives of five
States. leave the republicans in possession Of
both branches of the federal legislature. All
hope of settlement, by Congress, of present
difficulties seem to be at end. AS q conse-
quence, the border slave States are preparing
to go with the South.
With the republicans, coercion is their favo
rite policy. 1t is not dangerous until put in
operation.
The repulse of the Star of the West" is
submitted to by the authorities at Washington,
with the best grace they can command.
