THE Boston Post touches the secession ques-
tiou with needles point. 1t says:
What spectacle is this monstrous hypocrisy
of the North Railing ut the sin of the South
in keeping and working slaves, while the North
lives upon manufacturing the products of Slave
labor, and Massachusetts alone works 200, 900
slaves to keep her cotton mills going And now
when the supply of the staple and the markets
of the South are barely interrupted by this
d" battle Of the States" which the Abolitionists
have raised up with their cries Of :" Eve
headed barbarism' and " sacred animostyn and
heels on the neck of slave power, every body
is wondering and fearing and doubling whether
we shall be able to get through all this without
general and financial crash and breakup.
The remedy for this, says the Post is " in an
entire change of the Northern aspect of hatred
to the slave-holding States. The people of the
North must shake off this incubus of sectional
ism. They must turn their backs on the men
who hayesdeceived them; they must resolee to
lire up TO eir constitutional obligations, and let
slavery NE in every thing except turning to
the best count for the benefit of mankind

Twenty Years Ago.
nlent.

Twenty years have passed since the days of
"Tippecanoe and Tyler, toc.n Another gcner.
alton has come upon the stage sirce the ever
memorable log cabin, hard cider campaign Of
1910. Twenty years before that, 1920, was the
date of the Missouri Compromise. What changes
time works What mighty changes have taken
place in twenty years! Twenty years ago the
United States contained seventeen millions of
people now it has double that number or thir-
ty-two millions In 1910 we ha no telegraph,
and few railroads Oregon and California, the
land of gold, were unknown lands. Since 1870
Texas has been annexed; the war with Mexico
has taken place California conquered Louis
! Philippe has failed and another Napoleon taken
| his place; the Crimean war, and that with
France and Austria, and many other notable
events have taken place. But it is in taking
retrospective view of those who have passed
| from the field of action during the last twenty
years that the rnomentous changes of time ure
most marked.
In the old world, Nicholas, of Russia; Louis
Philippe, of France Wellington, in England
great representative men, have all passed away.
In our own land, nearly all the statesmen of
lS40-those who were connected with the ad-
ministration at that time-are il their graves,
or have long ceased participating in public af-
fair5. OF Mr.. Van Buren's Cabinet of $40, John
Forsyth, Secretary of State; Levi Woodbury.,
Secretary of the Treasury Mablon Dickinson,
Secretary of the Navy; John VI. Niles, Postmas-
ter General; Benjamin F. Butler, Attorney Gen.
eral; Joel R. Poinsett, Secretary of War, are
dead. There is not a man in the United States
Senate who there in 1870. Nearly all the
prominent Senators are dead, such rs Clay, Cali
houn, Webster, Silas Wright, Col. Benton, Ber-
rien, Preston, Poindexter and Choate.
In the House of Representatives, save Thomas
Corwin, We looh in vain for any of the members
of 1910. Gen. Jackson and J. Quincy Adams,
venerable ex-Presidents, were then on the stage
of action, and exercising great influence upon
public affairs.
Two of the chiefs of political strife in lS40
Nr. Van Buren, and John Tyler, still live, but
long ago ceasing to take part in the strifes of
the times
1t would fill columns to give the list of men
of mark who have left the stage Of action in the
last twenty years. Truly, between ls4o and
1860 the world has changed indeed. What will
be the changes of the next double decade? Who
OF Us will vote in l6S02-Pats6urgh Pest.
