The Future of the United States.-The
North British ReUieso for May, thus closes an ar

There surely cannot be permanent retro
gression and decay in nation planted in the
noblest principles of right and liberty, and COM

the vigorous and energetic elements Of the
worlds master races, in the midst of which the
tone is given and the march is led by that one
Of them which has never faltered in its onward
course, and which is possessed of such tenacity
and versatility, that is everywhere successful.
The present calamity and confusion probably
form the crucible fires in Nich the Union is to
be purified made white and tried in order
that she may take her destined place in the van

Cause and effect.

Our Cairo correspondent sends US the result
OF the election on the question of secession in
Eastern Tennessee. The maiorities for the
Union, and against the Southern Confederacy.
are immense. East Tennessee stands toward
the State precisly as Western Virginia does to-
wards Eeastern. The cause of the large Union
vote in the Knoxville section, may be discover
ed in the following:
Census returns Of 1860-twenty-nin coun-
ties:
Free population -270 ,O2I
Slave population Observation-Disclosures 81, 535
Total population 1897 500
The free population being ten times as great
as the slave, loyalty to the Republic predomi.
mates in an equal ratio. In the Memphis end of
the State, slaves are as numerous as whites,
and as consequence treason carries everything
before it. Slavery lies at the bottom of all our
National troubles. Exactly in proportion as a
State or county is cursed with slaves will be
the degree Of disloyalty of its citizens.
Wherever there Is slave, there is traitor.
Where half the population are bondmen, the
other half are rebels Western Virginia, West
ern Maryland, and Eastern Tennessee, have
bat very few human chattels, and equally few
Secessionists. The opposite ends of those States
swarm with Heotry and stink with treason.
Delaware being almost free, is almost as loyal
as free State Kentucky and Missouri have
enough slaves to corrupt the loyalty and sap
the allegiance of large minority of the whites
and bring distress and disaster upon those
States.
The rottenest of all the seeded States is
South Carolina, and larger proportion of her
people are slaves than i'll any other.
Slavery and rebellion are cause and effect.
When the Cause is removed, the Effect will
cease Chicago Tribune.

FROM tALL TIE YEAR nouNn u

FROM GALL TIE YEAR ROUND"
In the depth ofan ancient easement,
Looking into the west,
a little maiden sat and read,
In the evenings golden rest.
And her bright brain teemed with fancies
Vi spiritual things,
VI breatEs Of silent, starry skies
Whitened with angels wings.
And fields Of blowing lilies,
Radiant within the dawn,
with the branches Of the tree of life
shadowing field and lawn.
For the thin and tiny volume
Was rich with fairy lore,
And kindled her Ginning fances,
as she turned the leaflets DER.
Reading ofknights and ladies',
Who walked ia the forest old,
Bright as the morning planet
Ere gathered to its fold;
And the chamber walls grew lustrous,
And the furnaced depths offre,
That famed on the red horizon,
Were filed with dome and spire.
And minarets, from out whose tops
The bells Of heaven blew
Such harmOnies and melodies
That thrilled her through and through.
The dusk fell on the easement,
The moonlight touched the chair,
And she saw through the tender twilight
Ihe bats in the crimson air.
Plucking a scented leafet
From the vine beneath the caves,
She folded the woudrous volume,
And placed il in the leaves.
The day looked through the easement,
The evening fell more fair,
And came and fled the dawn and dusk
But still she came not there.
The robin from the orchard
Flew in upon the floor,
Aud pped for his absent mistress,
That never fed him more.
Her gentle soul was gathered
Up through the midnight blue,
AS the glory of the sun exhausts
The chalices Of dew.
And friends Who read the volume
Beheld the withered leaf,
And the quaint and chid-like symbol hushed
The utterance Of grief.
For they, in faith, believed that ded
This garden of tears and strife,
The flower of her soul lay folded
In the book Of Endless Life.

what to do win the Esirates.

But how the Savannah, or rather her crew,
are to be dealt with, remains to be seen. There
would seem to be but one way, unless Execu-
tive clemency steps in tor their relief The blood
of more than one noble young man already
cries from the ground, shed in riot, assassna-
ton, and in action, and we think the President
will pause long before he proposes to interfere
with the course of the law in such case, from
a mistaken clemency. BY the act of May 49,,
1920 it is provided that "if any person SHALL
upon the high seas, &c, commit the crime of
robbery in or upon any ship OF vessel, or upon
any of the ships company Of any ship or vessel
or the lading thereof such person shall be adj
judged to be a pirate, and being thereof convict
ed before the Circuit Court of the United States
for the District into which be shall be brought
or in which he shall be found shall suffer death"
And if this is not sufficient, it is provided also
by the act of April so, 1880, that any citizen
committing piracy or robbery upon the sea, ''un-
der color of any commission from any prince or
State, or any pretense ofGuthOrity from Gnyper
soa,' shall, on conviction suffer death.
In ordinary times if Charleston pilot boat
had been taken in the act of robbery on the
high seas, had gone out from any port, North
ern or Southern, with thirty-two FOUNDER on
swivel amidships her cabin garnished with
cutlasses and pistols, would there have been any
thought of mistaken mercy? There is no more
perniciOus crime known to the law than piracy,
for on the high seas the victim is supposed to be
peculiarly helpless and beyond the reach Of aid
If anything can add to the atrocity of the crime,
it is this pretended authority given to it by the
chief abettors of an instruction which so far
has marked the bloody cruelty and crimes I'M
known to civilized warfare. Let the law, there
fore take its course, and the arm of the rebellion
will be palsied at once when the robbers under
stend that speedy and memorable justice will
oyertake them.-N. Y. Tribune.

highly probable that Jefferson Davis will, and
very speedily, for, if the splendid management

earth, is any evidence, and it is believed it is,
there will shortly be an immense aeig-fall,

MESSAGE OF GOV. WASHBURNE.
Boston, Jan. s.

DooAVNS nAAs y.
The inaugural message of Gov. Wash
burne, of Maine, to the Legislature of that
state gives an encouraging view of the ma
terial growth and prospects of the state.
He recommends Cancellation and tokens OF
good will towards the south. While no
recriminations should be allowed to inter-
rupt the setting of ourselves right in what
soever respect we have been wrong, and the
offerings which as good men and patriots
we should lay upon the altar of our country,
and 10 doing this, we need consent to the
abatement of not one jot or title of the
principles affirmed by the people at the re.
cent election. We will stand by the consti.
tuition of our fathers-the constitution as it
is-and make no compromises that would
involve us in the guilt of moral treason and
justly render US the scorn of mankind. He
devotes paragraph to the subject of per-
sonal liberty bills, recommending the repeal
of any statutes which may be found to be
unconstitutional or justly regarded as offen~
sive but quite plainly implying his convic-
tion that Maine is not reallya transgressor
in this respect.

Message of Governor Andrews, Of
Massachusetts,.


BosToN, January5
Gov. Andrews inaugural message was
delivered to-day to the Legislature. His
financial statement shows that there is $751;.
700 tax to cover deficits in previous years.
The aggregate amount of taxable property
in the state is 1897, 725, 1926, an increase of
about so per cent. in ten years.
The enrolled militia of the state exceeds
$4,000, while the active militia is about
$500. The Governor suggests that lar
ger number be placed on an active footing,
that tile state may be ready to contribute
her share of force in any emergency of pub.
lie danger. The Governor favors the abo~
lition of the death penalty, ana change in
the statutes of marriage and divorce.
The Personal Liberty Law he believes
strictly constitutional. The right of per-
son to claim an alleged fugitive would
always be subordinate to the original in.
defeasible right, and in favor Of every
freeman to his liberty. He submits the
subject to the wisdom of the Legislature.
Of the secession question, he treats at
some length, to the effect that the people OF
Massachusetts respond, in the words OF
jackson, The Federal Union, it must and
shall be preserved"

MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR OF OHIO


CLEVELAND, Jan. 8.
The Legislature met to-day. Governor
Dennison's message was long document,
occupied mainly with state affairs. He
recommends more effective organization
of the militia. The present organization Of
the military is only about 1900 men
organized force, out of 285, 900 militia. No
special prominence is given to this subject.
The Governor argues at some length in
defence of bis course 10 refusing the requisi-
ton OF the Governors of Kentucky and
Tennessee, to deliver up the persons accused
of aiding the escape of fugitive slaves. He
discusses the secession questson, denying the
right of any state to secede at pleasure, and
affirming that Ohio remains loyal to the
Union. He favors the repeal of the OBJ
noxious features of the fugitive slave law,
and the repeal of personal liberty bills. An
effective fugitive law would thus besecured.
At the same time, Southern States should
repeal laws 10 contravention of the consti-
tutional rights OF citizens Of the free states.
who cannot be satisfied with less, and who
will insist upon their constitutional rights in
every state and territory Of this contederacy,
These they cheerfulIy accord to citizens Of
Southern States.

ing south, he says if grievances to any por-
ton OF our confederation have arisen within
the Union, let them be redressed with the
Union. If unconstitutional laws, entrench,
ing upon the guaranteed rights of any of
our sister states have found place npon our
statute books, let them be removed; if pref
udice and alineation towards any of our fell
low cOuntrymen has fastened upon our
minds, let it be dismissed and forgotten.
Let us be just to ourselves and each other,
allowing neither threats to drive US from
what we deem to be our duty, nor pride of
opinion prevent us from correcting wherein
we may have erred. He recommends, if
Illinois has passed any laws tending to OBJ
struct the operation of federal authority, or
conflicting with constitutional rights, that
they be at once repealed. Speaking not
merely for himself, but rejecting what he
assumes to be the voice of the whole people
OF Illinois, irrespective of party, as it reaches
him from all quarters, be adopts the states
ment of President jackson. "The Federal
Union-it must be preserved ;" to which
he trusts the legislature will give emphatic
expression at an early day. The finances of
the state are represented as in very pros>
porous condition.
The first business after the organization
OF both houses, will probably be the election
