FRIDAY MORNING. APRIL 5, 1861.
THE CORNER STONE OF THE BO-
GUS CONFEDERACY.

Hon. A. II. Stephens of Georgia made a
| speech at Savannah, March 81, on the char
acter, purposes and prospects of the pseudo
Confederacy of which he is chosen Vice
President. His set forth Of the ground work
| OF the concern is very distinct
"The new constitution has put at rest, forever.
all the agitating questions stating to pscul-
lar institution-Africsn slavery it exists among
| us-tLe proper status of the negro In our form of
civilization. This was the immediate cause Of the
late rupture and present revolution. Jefferson
In his forecast, had anticipated this, the crock
upon which the old Union would split" lie was
right What was onjecture with him is now
realized fact. But whether he fully comprehended
the great truth upon which that rock stood and
stands, may be doubted. The prevailing ideas en-
tertaned by him and most of the leading states
men at the time of the formation of the old con-
stituton, that the enslavement of the African
was in violation of the laws Of nature; that it
wrong in principle, socially, morally and polite
ally. 1t was an evil they knew not we'll how TO
deal with, but the general opinion of the men of
that day was that somehow or other in the
order of Providence the institution would be eva
nesoent and pass away. This idea though not in
corporated in the constitution was the prevailing
idea at the time. The constitution il is truo Sc
cured every essential guarantee to the institution
while II should last, and hence no argument can
be justly used against the constitutional guaran-
tees thus secured, because of the common senti-
ment of the day. Those ideas, however, were fun
damentally wrong. They rested upon the assump-
tion of the equality of the races. This was an
error. 1t was a sandy foundation, and the idea Of
government built upon it "when the storm
came and the wind blew, Il fell Our new govern
ment is founded upon exactly the opposite idea
its foundations are laid; its corner stone rests up
on the great truth, that the negro is not equal to
the white msn-that tslGueTy-su6ord,natioa to the
superior Taee-is his natural and mora! condition..
(Applause.) This, our new government, is the
first in the history Of the world based upon this
great physical, philosophical and moral truth"
Not only is it the first government, as he
says, since the world began, which was
founded on the idea that one race of men
have natural right to make slaves of an
other race, having a different color from
their own, but probably it will be the last
one.
1t may occur TO some as a most remarka-
bic circumstance, that such wonderful dis
cOyery of morals and polity was hidden from
the eyes of the world for SO many ages, to
be brought to light and made to take form
and life IN the cotton States, by Messrs
Toombs, Yancey, Rhett, Slidell, Davis,
Wigfall and their associates. But, then,
very wonderful things happen IN this 10th
century.

Methodist Episcopal Church, to whom was

except corn and bread. with n little meat 4
part Of the time.
TEirdly-From all the accounts, we have
no doubt that the various statements Of fact
in regard to our condition made By Messrs.
PomeroT, Army. and Hyatt have been
prompted by the purest motives, and arc
substantially correct, and that we tender
them our special thanks.
FOurthlV-We have reason to believe that

We pray our friends not to stay their hands
till we shall be able to realize something
from our own resources.

NEWSPAPER CHANoE.-Changes seem to be
the order of the day with our contempora-
ries of the Burlington Press. The Sentinel
Of Friday announced the retirement of the
junior partner, Mr.. E. NJ. SNALLEY induced,
as he says, by "interests of private nature,
and Of no importance to any but himself, "
and the accession of WM. HENRY HoYT Esq
in his place. The retiring editor has our
best wishes for his future prosperity. in, as
we trust, some less irksome and impecunious
calling than is offered by the field of Vt.
journalism.
Mr. .HoYr is already known to most Of our
readers, as a gentleman of cultivation and
ability. He will improve the editorial COL
umns of the Sentinel, we doubt not, and with
his aid it will be likely to become the ablest
advocate Of the disorganizing and destruc-
tive principles and practices of modern So
called Democracy, in the State. Mr.. Dam
forth and the Sentinel are to be congratulated
on the acquisition.

slckiy babe and two amishing little ones,
( clung to his garments and besOught him not
to enter. lie tore himself away, for his
thirst was strong and but for the care of a
stranger, his family would have perishcd.
"We went on, and, father, a citizen of
noble air and majestic form descended the
wide steps of his high mansion. His wife
put back the curtains, and watched him ea.
gerly and wishfully, as he rode away. She
was very, very lovely, fairer than any lady
OF the court, but the shadow of a sad heart
was fast falling on her beauty. Wesaw her
gaze around upon the desolate splendor of
her saloon, and then clasp her hands in the
wild agony of despair when we returned,
her husband lay helpless on couch. and she
sat weeping beside him.
Once more We paused. A carriage stood
before palace. 1t was rich with FURNISHED
gold, and the armorial bearings of a Duke
were visible in the moon beams. We waited
for its owner to alight, but he did not move
and he gave no orders. Soon the servants
came crowdng out: sorrowfully they lifted
him in their arm, and saw that some of the
jewels were torn from his mantle, and his
plumed cap was crushed and soiled, as if by
the many footsteps. They bore him into the
palace, and wonder If the duchess wept
like the beautiful wife of the citizen.

thy tutor told thee. 1t fires the brain. weak

away from thee, and so thou shalt grow up

He glanced around the circle. Surprise
and admiration were on every face, and
moved by the same impulse, all arose, while
one of their number spoke.
Thou hast done nobly, boy" he said,
land the rebuke shall not soon be forgotten.
We have congratulated thy father upon the
acquisition OF hOnors which may pass with
the passing season. We no congratulate
him upon that best of all possessions, a son

The naughty c0urtiers bowed a glowing
assent, and each clasped the boy. But the |
father took him to his heart, and even now
among the treasured relics of the family is
numbered that silver cup.
