At e \. VI. we took n " StOlC coach and
rode fifty-nnc miles in fourteen hours, for
one dollar, amid the grandest scenery, pass
ing by old towns founded by the Romans,
and on high hills, ruins Of castles and for
tresscs. Resting one night in BriXen we
conclude the next morning to walk to Bot
zcn-a distance Of twenty-five milcs-aud
leaving our knapsacks to be brought on, we
have pleasant sun for companion, and
the Adige which flows through the Tyrol.
At noon we stop in the village Of klauscn,
where on steep rock 700 feet high, is an
old capuehin convent, built by Spanish
Queen in l70l, which rests on the ruins of q
temple of Thesis. When the French inyad-
ed this place nun threw herself from the
top as the emily means of preserving her vow
unbroken.
In the evening wo arrive at Botzcn, tired,
hungry and sleepy. Finding comfortable
and cheap inn, we rest, and in the morning
take the cars for the city where we now are,
looking upon the Austrians who have their
headquarters in this ancieat and historically
interesting city. 60 in what quarter you
may, gray coats, blue pants, bristlins bay

She drew long, deep sigh. Then with
an. almos: startling vividness came before
her mind, in contrast, her tender, loving,
cheerful husband of three years before, and
her quiet, silent, sober-faced husband of

" Sor ething has gone wrong with him"

"What can it be ?''
The letter was in her hand.

dangerous and subycrsiyc of States rights,
especially when Congress is the sole judge
of the emergency that calls for the exercise
of It's powers. With n majority in both
Houses favorable TO "rrotcetion per sc y
and with President of the same procliy-
tiles, that body might pass law os,cn-
sibly, to cripple the manufacturing In
forests of Europe but in reality to de-
stroy Slavery in the South England now
furnishes the largest proportion of Cotton
goods to supply the trade of the world. IL
is probable that the manufacturing powers
of the North might at some time, insist up
on the prohibition Of the expectation OF cot
ton to supply foreign markets in order to
monopoliso the trade for their own immc-
diatc interests. Such n law would be dis
astrous not only to commerce but to the
cotton growing interests of the South and
to slavery in particular. If cotton be re-
ducod to one cent per pound, of what value
would slave labor be, when tho Northern
markets could not purchase one fitieth
part of the crop? The home market would
be gluttcd in one season, and negroes be
thrown valuelcss upon their masters hands,
with the statutes Of their States hanging
over their heads, requiring them to feed
and clo,hc their negroes and TO pay thcr
taxes. This would at once destroy slavery
and fulfil the prediction and threat of Mr.
! Seward that slavery would be crclong
constitutionally destroyed.
We believe that all such measures come
strictly within the purview Of the Conven-
ton about to assemble, and have, there
fore, brought it up for their consideration
If Congress possesses dangerouspowersu I'M
