solnoquy of a Bachelor.

To wed, or not to we'd that is the question -
whether 'tis beater all alone 70 suffer
The Jokes and laughter Of misehievous maidens;
And by thus welding enn themi To ask-to wed;
Doubt Ger; and, with wife, to say we end
The heart ache. and the greatest natural want
That man is heir to-'tis aconsummaton
Devoutly to be wished.
To ask ito wed -
To wed perchance vision aye, there's the rub.
For in that state Of joy, what storms may come
When we have shuffied of this simple coil,
Must make us pause That's result
That makes calamity Of married life;
For who would bear the jests and jeers Of men,
The maden's scorn, the widows cruelty,
The pang Of despised love, the days delay,
The insolenee Of rivals and the slights
The doubtful lover Of fair one takes,
when he himtAlf might his quietus make
With the FIRST asllngi-
Who such burdens bear
And groan and sigh under q single life
But thatthe fear Of something after marriage
The dread connumbia state, from whose boom
No bachelor returns-puzzles our wits;
And makes us rather bear the ills we have,
Than fly to others that we wot not Of.

There is a bird which is said to provide
for its safety by putting its head in a hole
so as not to see its enemy. A bird of this
feather is President Lincoln. His meth
cd of dealing with great evil is to
DENY its existence. The Union is intact.
The Union is not broken, because it is
theoretically indissoluble. No State can
have seeded from it, because no State
has the right to secede, and consequently
the Union exists, and must forever exist,
in all its integrity. There is no Southern
Confederacy, it is 9 mere name, . titular
pretension, no reality. 1--WE are seven"
persists the child in Wordsworth poem,
the death of two Of the number not dis
turbing the idea fixed in the affections.
The little Maid would have her viii,
And ssad, ~Nay, We are seven"
We are thirty-four, in like manner
fondly persists the American president.
And in every respect but one he intends
to act as if the Southern Confederacy was
a sham, and the Union reality, instead
of the reverse, which is the notorious
fact.
What can be expected, what can be
| hoped of policy based on an enormous
and notorious fictioni The Pope de-
| clares the encroachments on his tempor-
i
/ ty remains sacred and intact; but these
are mere words thrown into the air. as
they say in the east, the harmless consola-
tions Of impotence. The Americans as
sertions Of the infallibility of the con-
stitution are more serious, as they entail
consequences IN action. Accordingly the
President pledges himself to hold, occupy
and possess the property and places be-
longing to the federal government, to
collect the duties and imposts, but not TO
use force, except such as may be necessa-
ry for these objects, for which, he says,
no violence or bloodshed is needed. More
cunning than Shylock, Mr.. Lincoln con-
templates some mode of cutting the
pound of flesh nearest TO the heart of the
South without spilling 3 drop Of blood.
Doeshe suppose that Fort Sumter can be
retained or the other forts recovered
that the other property can be restored:

Under the best regulations. the busineu.
tends strongly to blunt the sense of pr;-
vate right, and to nourish a lawless and
fierce spirit Of rapicity. Efforts have
been made, from time to time, to abolish
the practice. In the treaty of amitv
and commerce between Prussia and the
United States, in 1856, it was stipulated
that, in case of war, neither party should
grant commissions to any private armed
vessels to attack the commere Of the
other. But the spirit and policy Of mari
time warfare will not permit such geneT-
Gus provisions to prevail. That provision
was not renewed with the renewal Of the
treaty. A similar attempt to put an end
to the practice was made in the argument
between Sweden and Holland, in 1915,
but the agreement was not performed
The French legislature, soon after the
breaking out of the war with Austria, in
1872, passed decree for the total suppress
sion of privateering, but that was very
transitory act. and it was soon swept away
IN the tempest of the revolution The
efforts to stop the practice have been very
feeble and fruitless, notwithstanding that
enlightened and enlarged considerations
of national policy have shown it to be for
the general benefit of mankind to surren-
der the licentious practice, and to obstruct
as little as possible the freedom and secur-
ity of commercial intercourse among the
nations"
