1t would be unbecoming in us, as citizens
of the States late United, to forget that there
is now in session at the seat of the once Ma.
tional Government, body Of statesmen
whose mission, although of a character the
most momentous that can be conceived, is
by no means defined with the accuracy that
is in such cases desirable. We refer to what
is popularity known as the Border.State Con-
vention, though by what title recognized in
Heaven, or by the assemblage itself, we have
no means to discover. The particular duties
Of the body are equally matter of difficulty.
Whether their business is to prevent the dis
solution that has already taken place or to
provide for the reconstruction of the scarcely
yet divided nationality; or to sit as a cOro-
ners jury with incidental post-mSrtsw ex-
animation, over the said remains Of the most
splendid and durable fabric of human gov.
ernment upon which the sun ever shone, are
questions which, with the light we have, il
seems impossible to answer.
All that we know of their doings is thai
the body organized by the election of tn,
most essentially dead man-James Buchanan
alone excepted-now above ground upoI

The declaration of Senator Chase, made in
the enthusiasm created by John Tylers
sreecn in the Border Convention, that he
could follow where Virginia led, alarmed
tome of the Republicans. They took it as
sign Of defsctios, and naturally regarded the
lead Of Virginia, under her present politi-
C;sEs, as rather cometic for steady-going
star Ike Ohio to hitch to. Many also re-.
gaEded the following of the lead Of John
Tyler as post mortem kind of business an
exploration Of catacombs a dwelling among
tee tombs ard an effort to raise a breeze in
the 7a.e Of Jehoshaphat.
But it was nothing but patriotic outburst
sl;he spread eagle speech, made by the resur-
Isc;ej gentleman on taking the chair; min
g'cd 2 i;h surprise, probably, that one who
bad lsin 80 lorg in the political tomb, and
whose memory, like Lazarus was SO very
Cdo1ous, could he raised. The late head of
toe immortal Tyler Party was so very ma
1ional in his compliments TO the various
S.stes- always subservient to the mother of
States and statesmen, of course-that the
Senator might well have experienced glow
ofsympstby with Virginia, especially when
one of her sOns rose from the dead to save
tGs Union.
Surely we need not despair for a recon-
s,fuction of the Union, when it is preceded,
fjTeshadowed, and typi6ed by such won
deEtul resurrection Of political dry bones as
that which ia exhibited in the Border Con-
Vention. Great events are always preceded
by m!saeles. What could be so apt sign of a
reconstruction of the fragments of the
Union, as a general resurrection Of political

The Dissolution OF Republican nroJori,Ies.

The dissolution OF Republican RInjoriiles.
Ia the great Republican States of Ohio
sai Pennsylvania, the two in which the
s. eetest Republican victories were achieved,
5Le Republican msofities in the Leg5lat-
urcs have become demcralized and have
melted away. In both of them a portion Of
these v no were elected on the tide OF the
Republican movement, vote steadily with
the Democrats, and the Republican Party
Las lost its control of the legislation.
The result on legislation is most mischisv-
CTS. The Republicans are nominally re-
sponsible for the measures, while the Demo-
c,st snd Conservative fusion control them.
Consequently the evil tendency aud demoral-
ilItion Of irresponsible legislation is in full
fc;ce. The strife seems to be to pass the
r,eeuest bills that can be concocted, to dis
grsce the nominal majority. Measures are
introduced and forced through by the fusion,
that the Democratic Party, if in the majority,
would not assume the responsibility for.
Legal and personal rights are made the sport
Of base strife to drag a party into mean
neasu-es.
The Legislature is humiliating to the
State. 1t is an exhibition Of the evil Of
holding session which was u2called for by
soy public business. The Republicans in
the Legislature are experiencing just
retributiou for consenting to this adjourned
session. and if the consequences could be
limited to those who are responsible for it,
II would be well; but unfortunately the ef-
feGts are entailed in our legislation, where
every unnecessary or mean law becomes
saotner burden upon the people.

If the portraits which Harper'S Weekly has
given Of the leading seceders of the South
are faithful likenesses, there can be no
question that they ought to secede and stay
seeded. Harper's paper, ever since the Sc
cession began, has looked as \ a Rogues
Gallery lad been robbed. II these are fair
representatives of the seeded States, it is
easy TO see why they laid their light fingers
on the public property. They couldn't help
it. Like the bears and lions in DR.. Watts's
beautiful hymn: "God had made them So"

Nothing But n Change of Heart W

NOthiDE But n Change of Heart WIN Do.
The Memphis AvaIanehe will not allow
itself to be swerved from the real difficulty
Of the Union, by any side issues. 1t says of
the personal. liberty laws;
Some of cur Southern friends seem to
think that q repeal of these disgracefuI laws
would be satisfactory to the South. This is
not the fact, unless the hearts Of the people
are changed at the same time"
This is the point. Bat there is no cause
for encouragement. Let the Avayanche
keep on precipiiatiag, as is the custom of
avalanches. There is still hope. The hearts
Of the people are changing; that is, the
hearts of their legislators are; and as soon as
they get into Office, especially after they
have been in Office year, they think they
make the sentiment Of the people.
The hearts of some of the Republican
legislators at Columbus have-to use Scrip
tural phIsse-"become even as water" at
the Southern precipitation; even to incon-
tinence, as it is more indelicately expressed
nova days. Let the Southern lion roar
again, and there is nothing that the con-
servatives will not grant. In the words of
the excellent Bottom 'let him roar again.

A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON PHTHIsIS Pull
MONALIsi embracing its Pathology, Causes
symptoms and Treatment. By l.. NJ LAWSON, NJ.
D. Cincinnati: Hickey, Mallory Co.
The writer Of this work, for many years a teacher
aud practitioner in this city, has brought to its
preparation the results of many years of study and
practice In branch which he has, to a considera-
be extent, made speciality. If I'VE were to state in
a few words what appears to be the leading charac-
ter Of the treatise should say that It consists in
the general rejection Of the standard hypothesis Of
the profession, touching the origin and exciting
causes OF the terrible and mysterious disease which
forms its subject and in steady reliance upon its
known facts, as drawn from a careful observation
of its phenomena, by the author, and recorded
in the works of established authenticity.
Pulmonary consumption is the RESULT. Ofa con-
sttutionA predispositon to!the disease; and-2. Of
some accidental cause by which the germs Of the
disease excited into activity. This predispo-
stion Is probably hereditary but what is its origin,
in what it consists are questions that yet remain
among the enigmas which science has failed TO
elucidate. The treatment Of the disease must
therefore bepurely empirical, consisting Of judi
eious employment Of those theraperentic and renee
dial agencies which experience has shown to be
eiiCaciOus elimaotie and dietetlc as we'll medi-
cinal skill consisting in the application Of those
| to suit the peculiarities Of individual cases.
No treatise upon consumption, therefore, can
| luly Satisfy TIE seeker AuOWlouBoi Hoho
/ can furnish him with q rule TO be inhexibly OBJ
| served In any particular The most that the
best do is to supply him with few landmarks to
aid his judgment and those which profess to do
more than this will be found the least reliable. In
the treatise before us, the author appears to have
been successful in preserving the true medium be-
tween presumptuous postivity on the one hand, and
loose gentralism on the otheri and while we do
not ind in the work the grasp Of master mind
-.
and producing great original result, we hnd what
better, perhaps, for the practitioner, abundant
collection Of the best learning, combined with thu
effects of careful and patient observation. The
treatise is written in good style, with proper di
vision Of the subject, IL handsomely printed RnC

The FIRST effect Of sovereignty in the
seeded States, seems to be a desire for
postage stamps. Custom-house officers and
Sub tressureIs secede with the Government
Misunderstanding, it is called in our YER
uscUlar-the Government mints are seized,
A ith theiI public and private deposits, and
revenue officers secede, and deliver up their
vessels; but the Postmasters declare eternal
fidelity 70 the Union, promise to render
their accounts faithfully to the Government
and require large supply Of three-cent
postage stamps. Such loyalty is wonderful.
Il Is a remarkable feature of the Southern
heart, that it should FIRE with the most noble
Tsge at tire sight of the Union flag, and
should become tender and affectionate as
suekliDg dove at the sight of a Union three
cent stamp. II shows that even in the
steInest wsrlike moods, the Southern heart
has soft spot, where it can be approached.
Nr Sickles, in his speech in favor of with
drawing the mails from the seeded States,
showed the operation of this three cent-loy-
atty. The Postmasters render their ae'
counts faithfully to the Government, and
make tht + reLnittanees to the United States
sab-treasurers in their own States then the
State lays its sovereign hand on it, in the
lump and tells the Government to charge it.
Could any thing be nicer than this2 Is
there New England Yankee who could so
nicely temper the wind of revolution to the
sbeREing Of flint? In addition to this, Mr..
Sickles stated that any remittances from a
seeded State to the North, would not be
safe, although not twenty per cent. of the
hills which have fallen due since the Seces-
sion movement begsn, are paid. Therefore
be went for abandoning service which was
used for such robbery.
