WHAT is LIFE INsURANcE?-1. 1t Is the ex-
ercise of prudence, of benevolence. 2. II secures
independence, domestic happiness 10 the widow
and orphan. 3. Is more efficacious.In IFS opera
tons as regards the moral and domestic comfort
of the people, and IN its tendency 10 reduce taxa
ton, by its reduction of pauperism, and possibly
OF crime, than the legislation of our wisest states
men; and, if universally adopted, would be ma
tional blessing. 4. II affords TO persons OF every
class, and in every station Of life, the means to
avoid much future misery TO their families, and to
render them independent of public oil private
charity.
While it is the manifest and imperative duty Of
every parent, curing his lifetime, TO embrace all
honorable means of supporting and advancing the
interest Of his offspring, so it is equally his duty
10 avoid leaving them at his death to grope their
way in helpless poverty through an uncs'arltable
world; and equally apparent is the duty OF every
husband TO provide, in case of his death, for the
surviving widow. To effec, all which Life lnsu-
rance Companies have been formed, which enable
every husband and parent, by the payment OF a
small sum, either nnually or quarterly, TO pro-
vide for his widow and fatherless children.

Mr.. Editor, il is bad enough to have men
in power who are dislsyal to the Union,
but il Is ssrustimes quite % bad TO trust
political power in the hands Of simpIetons;
fer what other appellation are nsn entitled
to, who in the conduct Of public affairs use
means to effect their purposes, that will
certainly produce the very rsv.rse Of the
results at which they aim. In this present
crisis, we must dismiss our politicians and
take the conduct of our own affairs into our
own hands, or all is lost. Our only secur-
ity, no matter how it may be with ether
Siats',is within the, Union and under olr old
flag, that has always projected US. Let Us

the split OF Republicanism in the

only be rsnedied by amendments to the

ments proposed in the Crittenden resolu
tions, If adopted, would restore tranquility
to the country, and place the Union on such
foundation that it could never again be
shaken. These amendments, the report
asserts, would not in reality change the
Constitution. They would only have the
effect Of restoring it, 5y the added pre-
vision, TO what it was. in point of fact, on
the day Of its adoption, through the opera

ded it, and which erected barriers against
the present sectional contests, as the con-
