BE YOUR OWN RIGHT HAND MAN.

People who have been bolstered up
and levered along all their lives are sell
dom good for anything in crisis
When misfortune comes they look
around for somebody to cling or lean
upon. If the prop is not there, down
they go. Once down, they are as help
less as capsized turtles, or unhorsed men
in armor, and cannot find their feet
again without assistance. Such silken
fellows no more resemble self made men,
who have fought their way to position,
making difficulties their stepping stones,
and deriving determination from defeat,
than vines resemble oaks, or sputtering
rush lights the stars of heaven. Effort
persisted to achievements trains a man
to self-reliance, and when he has proved
to the world that he can trust himself,
the world will trust him. We say,
therefore, that it is unwise to deprive
young men of the advantages which re-
suit from energetic action, by "boosting"
them over obstacles which they ought
to be able to surmount alone. No one

of fortune The men of athletic minds
who have left their marks on the eras in
which they lived, were all trained in
rough school. They did not mount their
high positions by the help of leverage;
they leaped into chasms, grappled with
the opposing rocks, avoided avalanches,
and when the goal was reached, felt that

SARzA. We have long supposed this
celebrated drug, had come to be an explod-
ed humbug, but We are assured by those
skilled in the healing art, that not the Sar-
saparilla itself is to be blamed for this con-
%clusion, but the miserable worthless prepa-
| r%s.ions that have been palmed off upon the
commuGity-preparations which contain
about as much Of its virtues as they do of
gold dust. 1t is q commercial fact that al
most all of the sa~rsapaTiIia gathered in the
world, is consumed in the old countries OF
Europe, where the silence of Eledicine, has
reached its highest perfection, acd where
they know the best what to employ to. the
mastery of disease. Hence We are glad to
find that we are now TO have a compound Of
this excellent Alternative, which can be relied
on. and our community will not need be as
sured, that any thing Door. AVER makes, is
worthy of their confidence. He has been for
years engaged in eliminating this remedy
(see adv'g cols.) designing to make it h $
''ckefd cure which should add the crown

and made harmonious, SO IS to admit and
give full effect to one OF the profoundes..
strongest and most enduring sentiments or
passions for the United States, that of de-
votion to the Union. These. whether you
call them secession or revolution on the one
side or coercion or defiance on the other are
all to subside and pass away before the
Union Is to become the grand absorbing OBJ
ject OF interest, affection and duty upon the
part Of citizens Of the United States.
A great many partizan interests are to be
suppressed. such as the partizan interests
expressed by the Charleston Platform, the
Baltimore Platform. and the Chicago Plat
form. If the Union is in danger, and is to
be saved, these interests and these platforms
and everybody standing on them or connec-
ted with them. are to pass away before the
Union can be saved. But it will require q
very short time. if this Union is in danger
and docs require to be saved. for all these
interests and all these platforms aud these
men to disappear. You and everybody who
shall oppose, resist, or stand in TIE way of
the preservation of this Union. will appear
as moths on summer eve, when the whirl-
wind OF popular indignation arises that
shall be excited at the full discovery that
the Union is endangered.
Why then should despair that great
people of thirty millions will be able to
meet the crisis ? have no fear this is
Confederacy. 1t is not an Imperial Gov
ernment or the government Of single State.
1t is Confederacy, and it is as it ought to
be, dependent on the continued assent of
all the members of the Confederacy to its
existence. and subject to dissolution by
their action. But this assent must always
be taken by virtue of the original assent and
held until. in the form prescribed by the con-
stitution itself, and in the manner, and with
all the conditions which the constitution pre-
scribes, those who constitute the Union shall
declare that it shall exist no longer. The
thirty days, and sixty days and ninety days
given us by the disunionists. may not be
enough for their policy and their purposes.
1 hope and trust it may be time enough for
the policy and purposes Of the lovers of the
Union. God grant that it may be so. But
if they SHALL turn out not to be enough then
see how and when all these great contriv-
ances will be settled, jus: as the forefathers
foresaw when they framed the Constitution.
They promised, seventy years ago that
this present controversy-this whole contro-
versy-should be submitted to tire people
of the United States in Convention, called
according to the forms of the Constitution,
and acting in the manner prescribed by it.
Then. sir. this country will find sudden re-
lief in the prompt and unanimous adoption
of the measures necessary for its salvation
and the world will see how we'll and how
wisely great. enlightened and educated
Christian people. consisting Of thirty-four
sovereign States can adjust the difficulties
which seemed even to themselves, as we'll
as to mankind, to be insGrmoun ble."

H We give below. some extracts from
q speech of Mr. Seward. made in the Unit
ed States Senate, OF the 4th of February,
on the occasion of presenting a memorial
from the citizens of New York. When we
remember that these sentiments are express
ed by the acknowledged great man and
leader Of the Republican party. We are justi-
fed in believing, that no insurmountable
difficulty is in the way of peaceful and
honorable settlement of every question
This is the spirit in which 1 have de-
telmined to come up to this great question
and pass through it, as l sincerely believe
we shall pass through it-for although this
great controversy has not been already set
tied. do not. therefore. any the less call

be peacefully settled and settled for the
Union. / have not been SO rash as to ex-
pect that in the sixty days which have been
allowed us since the meeting of Congress

have not expected that in ninety days which
are allowed to this term Of Congress. this
great controversy would certainly be adjust
ed, peace restored, and the Union firm ly es-
tablished.
know, sir, that these sixty days OF
ninety days were fixed for definite objects
and purposes. by that portion of my fellow
citizens who have thought it would onsult
the interests of the States to which they
belonged to dissever the Union. / have no:
expected that reason and judgment would
come back to the people and become SO per.
vading. so universal in that time AS that
they would appreciate the danger and be
able to agree on the remedies. Still have
been willing that it should be tried. though
unsuccessful. But my confidence has re-
mained the same. for the simple reason thai
as have not believed that the passion and
frenzy of the hour could overturn this grea
fabric Of constitutional liberty. this empire
in ninety days. so have felt that Their
would be time. even after the expiration o
the ninety days, for the restoration Of al
that has been lost, and for the re-establish
ment of all that was in danger
