THE OLD MILITARY ROAD


Mr.. EDIroR | read with some>interest Mr..
Halls remarks regarding the old military road
from Crownpoint TO No. Four lso calledl which
were published in recent Issue of the Herald
Whel reading about the stone spring encamp+
uent, thought of an incident related 10 me
some thirty five years ago by Mrs. Bissel, mo-
ther of the present occupant the farm on which
the stone spring is located. An aged teayeler,
on foot think, called at Mr.. Bissel's house and
wanted cup to go to the stone spring for q
drink Of water. She told him the geese run in
the spring, il was not fit to drink; he did NOT
care for that, he would have d drink of water
rom the stone spring. as he used to when he
was soldering.
About one mile north of Iiier's bridge, in
Sudbury, is an excavation in the point OF hill
which marks the spot where the defenders o our
country passed. On the farm of Mr.. Townsend
Is spring which furnished water for an en-
campment, and a plain which was used for
camping, being military days journey from
stone spiing encampment. Mr.. Farmer, now
living in Pittsford, t0ll me the soldiers crossed
the creek at fording place near Piststord de
pot hence they left Pittsford fort tw q or three
miles east of their route. Mr.. Farmer also told
me that, in his younger days, he partially clear
ed new farm in the town of Plymouth, the
farm being two miles north of the Bent place,
Nountholly, and at thar time traces of the old
military ROAD were plainly TO be seen across the
farm.
Persons acquainted with that section of coun-
try will at see this brings them TO the
head waters OF Black river, which, from there
would be the correct route 10 the Connecticut
river. H S. McCoLLAM.

AN ENGLISH CALL TO Us TO BE FIRM.-We
ought to consider also that when the bulk of the
American nation has condemned and adiured
slavery, the public opinion which the collective
nation could not Withstand must be crushing to
| any severed portion of il; aud again, that there
is both disagreement among the Shareholders
about the policy of secession, and refusal of
the landless whites to be disposed of by their
aristocratic neighbors and oppressors, and. again
that the respective States in the South are al
ready jealous al each others attempts at port ;
and. again, that the Republican spirit which
| llone can form federal association in America
exists only among that portion of the population
which abhors slavery, and will never 90 into op-
position to the North for its sake.
In short the proposal of secession is SO wild
so absurd, that it could not be put forth by men
sensible enough to conduct public affairs unless
they were so dishonest as to be unworthy of the
trust. The threat is either an outbreak Of mad
passion or @ assctons dsylt ne q ha Nor66 # he c
sens ofthe Free States are firm, frant and steady
there WiH be no secession organized and artaat, Or
there eo presently be applications for aasissioa
to the Union We, at distance, can SEQ how
steadiuess aud patience on the part of the yieto.
rous party might convert this Revolution" into
a Reformation; and, though we can hardly ex
pect so pure a result of the present fermentation
of passions, we may refuse to despair of it

Threats North and South.

The threats from the South are
very different from the threats from
the North. The threats from The
South, iu the matter of disunion, il
to Withdraw from association Will
the people Of the North. 1t pro-
poses to take nothing from the people
of the North which is theirs. Not q
right = not a liberty-not single
advantage, pby steal, moral or polit
ical, does it proposes 10 take from
the people Of the North. 1t is sim
ply threat Of separation. On tht
other hand the threats from tht
North are of coercion and slaughter
- with a total annihilaiiou of all self
government or liberty in the South
Considered apart from all prejudices
it would appear most Innocent aud
reasonable, that people, if they
think fit, should Withdraw from asso.
citation with another people, and
should govern themselves and THEN
own destinies. II The people from
whose association they desire to with,
draw, are neither plundered MOI
wropged by them in any way, why
should their separation be obj cted
to? No people Can have any right
to coerce continued association with
another people, simply on the ground
that the association contributes to
their interest or advancement. Eg.
cry principle Of honest and justice
dictates, that, If people do contrib
ute, by their association with another
people, TO their benefit. they cannot
De blamed for Withholding it. II it
was voluntary. it can be voluntarily
Withdrawn. Donations, cannot be
converted into rights. Bot when
10 leave a voluntary association
is denied as a rgat--whilst it
is claimed as a right to coerce
a continued association; and that
the threat of viol, nee and death is
put forth against the Innocent people
who simply affect to control their own
in the separation they meditate--it
is clear lhat all conventional relations
are broken down between the parties.
Force instead Of assent, becomes The
bonds OF union; and, if the union is
continued under such threat, its
subjects are tributaries, colorists,
slaves.
And yet, whilst it is thus Gear thai
the South, 10 her threats of separa-
from the North, purposes to leave
untouched and unmolested every
right and interest Of the North, the
answering threats Of the North, are
most aggressive, brutal and malig-
uant. The sword and the scafloId
are iustrumentalities they present TO
Southern people, to obtain their con-
timed association. The welfare OF
The South, is no longer a consideration
Of her Union. The welfare of the
North is the sole criterion-and that
welfare, is to be watered and fattened,
BY the blood of the people of the
South.
