be efIectuolly crushed out. The wsr now in
progress, be contended, was not OF the North
against the South, but, as conducted by the
Government, for the perpetuity Of the Union,
the maintenance OF the Constitution, and the
enforcement OF the laws made in pursuance
of that Instrument. He earnestly appealed
to bis auditors to uphold and defend the time
honored flag and resist the despotism now
menacing even this capital, reminding bis
hearers that history shows that republic

Of the perils attending the declaration Of
Union sentiments in disloyal States, and said
if Southern despots attempt to coerce Ten

that State intends to call upon the Govern
ment to sustain her in the struggle. They
might overcome her before aid could reach
her. Her enemies might devastate her fields
and dreuch them 10 blood they might sack
and burn her cities aud towns, and even con.
vert her bllsides and valleys into burial
grounds; bot they never could make OF East

TAKING THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BY VIo-
LENcE.-In our Charleston papers we find the
prayers to Almighty God offered up at the
opening. The following extracts will give a
good idea of these petitions -
"Oh, God, forgive our sins and bring order
out of confusion, and do Thou grant that as
Thou has put 1t into or hearts to withdraw this
commonwealth from under most unrighteous
government, that it may be done in peace and
quetness, and not with war and bloodshed.
In framing another government, it may be
founded on the rock of right truth and justice,
and may the spirit of Gods holy law be inter-
woven in all its institutions. Oh, God, help us
to build, for, if Thou dost not, we know ii must
come to ruin and destruction.
Oh wilt Thou send forth spirit among
these different Southern States, to come to the
help of the Lord against might, for oh Father
they have made vow against Thy law Oh, do
Thou constrain all these Southern States to
unite together under one confederacy as sisters
of one united feeling united interests, and uni
ted purposes, and show forth the glory of God
in the promotion and cultivation of the indus
trial pursuits of man, to the admiration of the
world, to the glory OF God, to the maintenance
Of that institution, and that humble race tohom
Thou has PIT under our protection in the spirit
Of Gods holy lar"
