THE TWELFTH WARD NUIsANcEs.-As there
appears to have been an erroneous impress
sion abroad in reference to the design in
raising money to abate the Twelfth Ward
nuisances, we would state that the object is
to enforce the laws and ordinances, and not
to buy out the owners of the factories and
slaughter houses in question, as some have
supposed. The Twelfth Warders are for coera
cion, and not compromise.

THE EFFECT OF PRoTEsT.--We observe
by the official report of the Business Mems
Prayer-meeting, that after gentleman had
spoken very feelingly of a meeting he had
with 1000 children at Madison, and told
how he improved it to preach to them, he
asked the meeting to unite with him in q
meeting did. Whereupon the leader arose
and snubbed the brother for violating the
rules by speaking and praying too. Now
the question arises, did this protest of the
leader withdraw the prayer or can a prayer
made in violation of the rules of the prayer
meeting, have any prevailing power2

The original boundaries Of these States
were 10 great degree matters Of accident
They we're fixed without reference to
nataral geographical lines, and assumed
power in the United States Senate without

Importance. Delaware was lrst Swedish
colony under the patronage Of Gus,ayus
Ado!phls Of Sweden. In 1865 the Dutch
snbdued the New Sweden, as It was call.
cd, but being themselves in turn overtun
by the Eaglisi, the region now known as
Delaware was included 10 the famous grant
Of the Duke Of York to WIN. Penn
Though nominally under the proprietary
government Of Pennsylvania. and known
in the records as the Lower Countries Of
the Delaware" the people Of at territory
had subordinate separate government
which sent its delegates to the first Con-
gress in New York in 1866, and from that
became recognized as a sovereign State.
Its boundaries nre most inconyenient and
ill-artanged. Occupying = part Of the
peninsula between the Chesapeake and the
Atlantic, 1t shares that fertile point Of land
With Maryland and Virginia, 80 that the
inhabitants Of region homogeneous in
itself are divided up 10 three separate SOW
greignties.
Maryland is equally child Of accident.
It strAddles on both sides Of the Chess
peake, without complete dominion over ei-
ther. Its boundaries resulted from the
original charter to Lord Baltimore, and all
those old charters we're granted in royal
contempt for Geography. lts various parts
are isolated from each other in locality
and interest
The chances OF war, tue necessities ol
the Federal Government and the action

within the hands Of Congress the unusual
and unexpected opportunity Of balancing
