From the Louisville journal Of the sth inst.
South Carolina didn't secede on account of the
Personal Liberty Bills, for she cares nothing
about them, and her leading politicians, includ-
ing the President of her Convention, declare the
Fugitive Slave Law itself unconstitutional She
ddnt seoede for any the causes so much talked
Of by her organs at home aud in Washington
She seeded for no other reason under heaven
than that she wants tree trade and the African
slave trade, and she knows that both Of these
are directly at war with the opinions and the
interests Of Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, and
Maryland. She wants the Border slave States
to secede on account of the Personal Liberty
Bills, on account or the denial Of the transit of
slnyes with their masters through some Of the
free sMte- on account of the preaching Of anti
s'n ~ ermons and the liberation of anti
tNso.i newspapers in the North, whilst she
7s5s des, not for any Of these causes, but
rl- Tor he accomplishment Of purposes
N ..4 be u hundred times more injurious
ana up 10 the Border States that she is
tryio- h5 a.se preiexts to drag after her than
oil the alleged grievances put together.
Aid Sou Carulnn not only seeks to get us
to break up the country upon grounds that she
cares nothing about, whilst she herself breaks it
up, ~ iai as she is concerned, for reasons cal
culated aud intended to crush our interests for
her own benefit, but she expects US, after uniting
gratefully with her or rather following gratefully
and admtingly after her, TO stand ''dArk and
bloody ground" between her and the red tide OF
war that she knows would be inevitable.
Can any Of the border slave States be so silly
as not to see that South Carolina intends to make
yclins, dupes, fools Of them for her own aggran-
dizement.

ELoouENrLy PArRIorIo.--We take the follow
ing most eloquent and truly patriotic passage
from speech delivered by Abraham Lincoln,
the President elect, at Springfield, Illinois, De-
cember 1885, twenty-one years ago. Let every
mau read it, aud then say, if he can, that
"Honest Old Abe" is not all that has ever been
claimed for him by the Republican partyl
"Air. Lamborn refers to the late elections in
the States, and from their results confidently
predicts that every State in the Union will vote
for Mr.. Van Buren ut the next Presidential elec-
tion. Address that argument to towards and
knaves; with the free and the brave it will Of
feet nsthiug, 1t may be true; ifit must, let it,.
Many free countries have lost their liberty, aud
ours may lose hers; but if she shall, be it my
proudest plume, not that was the last to desert,
but that never desertedher. | know that the
great volcano at Washington, aroused and di-
rected by the evil spirit that reigns there, ia
belching forth the lava Of political corruption in
a current broad and deep, which is sweeping
with frightful velocity over the whole length
and breadth Of the land, bidding fair to leave
unscathed no green spot or living thing, while OF
its bosom are riding IKE demons on the waves
Of hell, the imps Of that evil spirit, and fendsh
ly taunting all those who dare resist it's destroy
ing'course with the hopelessness Of their effort
and knowing this, I cannot deny that all may be

BEAUTY OF THE SEA.--There is charm in
the sea. The freedom there is in its sweep, the
grandeur there is in its pillows, the music there
is in its roar; its round horizon beaded with
white foam, red with the mine Of morning light,
and tinged with the ruby sun that desceuds into
its waters and dissolyes.
The ship, 20 like bird, that spreads it's white
wings and skirts the sea-encircled world; the
wild tales Of strange lands and strange adyen-
ture; the gems and gold that stow its caves
the coral groves touched with eternal sunset;
the bubbles that have broken upon its surface
and released the passing souls all these have
shrOuded the sea with mysterious charm.
And then to think that the sea is the memory
of the world that an angels voice shall summon
il. and it shall surrender its dead to air and
light again; that the lower half Of heaven is
hidden like jewelled cup in its bosom ! and
the eSer.going sun has worn no path thence
and the long caravan Of ages has left no foot
print as it went.
and so We, who have never laid our hand upon
its mane do love the ocean, locked in her green
setting of the world, and thieky studded with
counterfeit presentments Of stars.

BeS- HEADACHE is the favorite sign by which
nature makes known any deviation whatever
from the natural state OF the hrain and viewed
in this light it may be looked on as n safeguard
intended to give notice of disease which might
otherwise escape attention, till too late to be re-
medied and its indications should never be ne
elected. Headaches may be classified under two
names, viz: Sympiomatiu and ldiopathic. -
SymptOmato Headache is exceedingly common
and is the precursor of great variety of diseases
among which are Apoplexy, Gout Rheumatism
aud all febrile diseases. In its nervous form il
is sympathetic Of disease Of the stomach con.
stituting sick headacic, of hepatc disease con.
stituting bilious headache of worms, constipation
and other disorders of the bowels as well as
renal and uterine affections Diseases of the
heart are very frequently attended with Head
aches An@mia and plethora are also affections
which frequently occasion headache Idiopathic
Headache is also very common. being usually
distinguished by the name of nervous headache,
sometimes coming on suddenly in state of ap-
parently sound health and prostrating at once
the mental and physical energies, and in other
instances it comes on slowly, heralded by de-
preston of spirits or acerbity of temper In
most instances the pain is in the front of the
head, over one or both eyes and sometimes pro-
voking vomiting under this class may also be
named Neuralgia.
For the treatment of either class of Headache
the Cephalic Pills have been found sure and
safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in a
few minutes, and by its subtle power eradicating
the diseases Of which Headache is the unerring
index.

Tnn AMALdAMATIoN OF LANGUAGES. There
is growing tendency in this age to appropriate
the most expressive words of other languages,
and after n while to incorporate them into our
own; thus the word Cepbac, which is from the
Greek, signifying "ior the head, is now be
coming popularized in connection with Mr.. Spal-
dings's great Headache remedy but it will soon
be used in more general way, and the word
Cephalic will become as common as Eiectrotype

until they seem "nntive and Co the manor born. "

TWENTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS sAvBD.--Mr.
Spalding has sold two millions of bottles of his
celebrated Prepared Glue and it estimated that
each bottle saves at least ten dollars worth of
broken furniture, thus making an aggregate of
twenty millions of dollars reclaimed from total
loss by this valuable invention, Having made
his Glue household word, he now proposes to
do the world still greater service by curing all
the aching heads with his Cephalic Pills, and if
they are as good us his Glue, Headaches will

ter concerning secession than an answer to a
recent letter from Mrs Jerusha Ann Brown to
the editor of the New York Times. Jerusha Anu
writes as follows:
New York, Tuesday, Dec. IL, 1860.
Dear Mr. Times: am a woman, aud there
fore ignorant, but should like to be enlightened.
II secession is right and lawful why can't
secede from my husband He had always been
kind and indulgent, (even to my faults,) hut he
may abuse me, and wouldn't it be we'll 10 sepa-
rate now, before any "overt act" shall be Goin--
mitted know promised to love aud honor
him while life lasted, but that was long time
ago, and since then he is changed in many re-
spects-wears whiskers, and is bigger and
stronger and therefore 1 feel justified in with
drawing. Besides as it was ''only compact
and voluntary at that, of course have a right
to Withdraw from it at pleasure.
hardly know how we shall manage about the
children, but we must divide them in some man
ner. You needn't try to reason with me, for my
mind is made up. My only wish is to separate
peaceably and not make a fuss aud break
things.
Now if you can give me any informatian as to
the modas opadadi Of dissolying my matrimonial
union, shall be very grateful.
The answer to which is
1t is not quite 10 our line of practice to give
advice Especially gratis) in such matters, but
the case is SO simple that "Jerusha Ann" can
have very little doubt how to act. The first
thing she has to do is to resume her original
sovereignty. The next is to refuse to obey Or
ders,--and take possession of her husbands pan
falcons, boots and other property situated with
in her Jurisdiction. Then If he takes steps to
recover his property and re-established his
authority, he is clearly 'nlakny soar'' Oh his
wife; and there is nothing in the original com
pact to warrant nny such proceednp On the
contrary, it was plainly the intent Of the parties
at the outset that the Union should be one Of
affection and not of force. Whom things have
reached this point, if he is a reasonable man, he
can certainly be made to see the impropriety
and the extreme danger Of any such action on
his part and thus the whole matter will be
comfortably and peacefully arranged.

No one of the "many ills flesh is heir to" is SO
prevalent, so little understood, and so much
neglected as Costveness. Often originating in
carelessness, or sedentary habits it is regarded
as slight disorder of too little consequence to
excite anxiety, while in reality it is the precursor
aud companion Of many of the most fatal and
dangerous Diseases and unless early eradicated
ii will bring the sufferer to an untimely grave.
Among the lighter evils of which costiveness is
the usual attendant ore Headache, Collie, Rheu-
matsm, Foul Breath, Piles and others of like
nature, while a long tran OF frightful diseases
such as Malignant Fevers, Abcesses, Dysentary,
Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Apoplexy Epilepsy, Para
lysis, Hysteria, ypochondriasis, Melancholy
and Insanity, first Indicate their presence in the
system by this alarming symptom. Not unfre-
quently the diseases named originate in Con
stipation, but take on mn independent existence
unless the cause is eralicated in m early stage.
From all these considerations it follows that the
disorder should receive immediate attention
whenever it occurs, and no person should neglect
to get box of Cephalic Pills on the first appear
ance of the complaint, as their timely use will
expel the insiduous approaches of disease and
destroy this dangerous foe to human life
