SENTIMENT OF THE STATE"

Under the above caption we find the
following from the Editorial columns Of
the Detroit Daily Adrsrtiser. Of April 23.
"All agree that the government shall
put an end to slave power, as the only
means Of securing peace to tho country
hereafter
"The traitors have begun the war, to
extend and perpetuate slavery. Whiie
that curse exists, they will find, it an occa-
sionfor the continuance Of these aggres-
sions."
This comes like thunderbolt upon
us. We had supposed that the admins
tration was gathering its troops to vindi,
cate the honor of the national flag, pro-
tect the national Capital, and enforce
the observance of law. Can it be that
we have been mistaken, and that all this
arming and moving of troops is prepara-
tory to crusade againat African slave
ry? Seventy thousand Democrats in the
State of Michigan stand ready to-day to
redeem their solemn pledge to sustun
the Government, and seventy thousand
democrats to-day are ready to takes up
arms against all who attempt such an
inhuman crusade. The war is upon us
the government attacked, and wo will
rally as one man to sustain the admins
tration in the exercise oe all constitution
al power. But if this is to be war
against slavery, and not for the mainten-
ance of the Union and the Constitution,
we have no sympathy with the Govern
mcnt and will not support it. Rcpubli-
cans must not expect to cram their doc
trims down our throats, much moro the
odous and inhuman doctrines of aboli-
tionism. We are willing to forget party
and unite for the salvation of our country
with patriots, no matter where politically
classed. But let them declare truce Oh
political differences, aud meet us pat
riots and lovers of the Union as our faith
crs gave it. Abolitionism and dcgra
ded priestcraft have brought this calam
ity upon us, and arc to day "a much th'
real enemies Of the Union as SouthcrI
traitors. They are the men who few
short months ago were carrying siXteei
star flags, and outraging the patriotism
of the corntry by denouncing the Con
stitution as "a league with the devil an
compact with hell" They now TAX
up the cry of Union because they hop
to make it subserve their hellsh design
Of putting an end to the slave power,
and "whilc that curse exists they woul
make 10 peace. Let abalitionists retiT
to obscurity to reflect upon their awf'
sins, while honest men, Democratic an
Republicans, unite as brothers, to say
the Union for the Unions sake.--Sta

The Apocniypiie via,s Opened.

If one will pause and take view Of
the world at this moment he will see what
was never before perfectly seen upon the
face of the earth. The world is con-
vulsed, as it probably never has been
since ,hc creation, with wars and rumors
Of wars, by famine and desoation.-
History does not present such general
tumult Of nations as we now see. IL
would seem that the vials of the Revela-
ton were opened; and that discord and
blood were raincd down upon our gene
ration. What the issue will be OF all
the dreadful entanglements which now
environ the nation time only will show.
Certainly no one can divine 1T. Within
a few years we bave beheld the most
magniiceuty dreadful wars of which
history has any record. Nations have
been conquered and subjugatcd to the
caprices Of ambitious and tyrauical SOW
ereigns. Indian revolts, Syrian massa-
cres, and murderous sieges have sapped
the life blood Of millions. Europe is just
now convulsed from centre to circumfer-
ance. Poland and Hungary are ripe for
revolt. Russia has emancipated her
serls, and annexed large tract of coun-
try lately derived from China, whose
coasts are still invested and guarded by
English and French fleets. SARDINIA
stands demanding Venitia and Rome,
and Austria and Germany proper resist
her. France holds Syria for the Sultan
of that wretched country, but is ready to
appropriate it to herself whenever En-
peror Napoleon thinks it policy to do so.
England and France are fitting out naval
fleets for the coasts of the United States,
and the United States themselves are
disrupted, threatening civil war at any
moment. Spain has seized upon San
Domingo and threatens Hayti, and Mex
leo on her part threatens to conquer Tex
as. Several of the South American Re
publics are quarrcling. Buenas Ayres
and Paraguay are at swords points. In
India famine is following a dreadful
massacre and revolt, and this famine
reaches into Persia and China. In Hol-
land the inundation Of the country,
caused by the breaking away of the dykes,
has DESTROYED its thousands, and left
houselcss and starving thousands upon
thousands more. The whole world seems
on the eve Of general war, and is only
waiting for some ono to strike the first
blow.-1thens { o. Messenger.

THE PIRATES OF THE GULF.
From the New York World, May G.

The steamship Daniel Webster, Thomas
Minor commanding, from the mouth Of
the Mississippi river, via Hanana, with
passengers, and her outward freight for
New Orleans, consigned to ID. B. Allen,
arrived last night.
The Daniel Webster arrived at the
mouth of the Mississippi on the morning
of the 29th, ult., at 3 o'clock A. NJ, and
failing to secure a pilot, the captain took
her in over the bar On reaching the
telegraph station. he received telegram
from the agents in New Orleans to put
to sea Immediately. The steamboat w.
ii. Webb, few minutes later, made her
appearance, armed with two 80 Founders,
and a crew Of seventy-fve men. The
captain of the w. b. Webb announced
his intention to take the Daniel Webster,
but was obliged to telegraph to New Or
leans for orders, although pilot who had
Just arrived from the city, stated that she
had been expected, and it was determined
to seize her on her arrival. He was also
informed of the seizure of the Star of the
West and Cahawba, though the latter
was subsequently released. Several
Northern vessels had been seized, and it
was thought the Tuscarora, tug boat
owned at the North, would be taken
Pilots had been forbidden to bring in
vessels without permission.
The Daniel Webster got under weigh
Immediately without landing her passen
gers, and succeeded in crossing the bar
before the authorities in New Ooleans
could be notified of her arrival. Moth
ing but the early hour of the day saved
her from being seized. The Danil Web
ster arrived at Havana on the 26th, ult.
The Wanderer, the noted SLAYER, then
lying at Havana, had been bought by
the Southern Confederacy for $4,000,
and was to be fitted up immediately "
The steamer Dabana had also been
bought, and was at New Orleans, fully
armed.
Letters of marque were issued on the
Doth ult., and the Calhoun, Webb and
Matagorda were ready for instant service
aud are now probably cruising in the
Gulf. The Webb is to be commanded
by one Sladdain, who has acquired con-
siderable notoriety as SLAYER.
1t was reported that a stock company
had been informed at New Orleans, with
capital of six millions, for tho purpose
Of privateering.

VERY PROUD TONIGHT.

1t was cold night in winter. The
wind blew and the snow was whrled fu-
riously about, seeking to hide itself be-
meath cloaks hoods, and in the very hair
of those who were out. A very distin-
guished lecturer was to speak, and, not.
withstanding the storm the villagers ven
tured forth to hear him. William Ann
sley, buttoned up to the chin in his thick
overcoat accompanied his mother. 1t was
difficult to walk through the new fallen
snow, against the piercing wind, and
William said to his mother.
"Couldn't you walk more easily if you
took my arm"
"Perhaps / could" his mother replied,
as she put her arm through his and drew
up as close as possible to him. Together
they breasted the storm-the mother and
the boy who had once been carried on
her arm, but who had grown up SO tall
that she could now lean on his. They had
not walked far before he said to her.
81 am very proud to night, mother"
"Proud that you can take care of me?'
she said to him with heart gushing with
tenderness.
"This is the first time you have leaned
upon me-" said the happy boy.
There will be few hours i'll that child's
life of more exalted pleasure than he en-
joyed that evening even if he should live
to old age, and should in his manhood low
ingly provide for her who watched over
him in helpless infancy. 1t was noble
pride, that made his mother love him, if il
were possible. more than ever; and made
her pray for him with new earnestness,
thankful for his devoted love and hopeful
for the future. There is no more beauti'
full sight than aifectionate, devoted, obe-
dent children. | am sure that he who
commanded children to honor their father
and their mother, must look upon such
with pleasure. May he bless dear Will

BAD BREATH.

There is nothing more offensive in tho

well as offensive. In a man it is beyond

BILE. We should just as soon think OF
marrying q girl with the small pox ~
one with an impure breath. But as
loathsome as the odors OF bad breath are,
it is the easiest and simplest thing.ln
the word to have at all times, a sweet,
inoffensive bre .th-aye, sweet as the
breath Of newborn babe. In the first
place, keep clean mouth, which is easily
done by having all decay removed, and
by the use Of good toothbrush, with
little soap and water, night and morning.
Common toilet soap will do, but CASTLE
soap is preferable, as it is more strongly

directions will thoroughly and surely
eradicate it. 1t may be necessary to 60

Ex. The editor of the New Orleans
Crescent, who, from being Union man,
has become one of the fiercest of the dis
unionsts, suggests what he calls meas
ure of peace. He proposes that the
South shall select fifty thousand men to
be headed by jeff Davis, and that the
North shall select hundred thousand to
be headed by its best General, say Scott,
and that the two armies shall meet and
decide all the issues between the two
Governments by wager OF battle, the
Government, whose army is victorious,
to be entitled to the full power to pre-
scribe the conditions of peace to the con-
quered foe.
Now we think that this project might
be improved 1t seems to us to involve
by far too serious a loss of life and limb.
Let us see if something Of the same char
acter and at the same time good deal
less sanguinary cannot be devised. We
have no doubt that the editor of the
Crescent, the author of the plan we have
mentioned, is himself the most redoubt-
able champion the South has got, and we
don't suppose that anybody will dare to
gainsay it. Now we suggest, that, in
stead of the South's sending fifty thous-
and men and the North hundred thous.
and to meet and decide the fate of en-
pire the South shall select the editor OF
the Crescent and the North any two
champions it pleases (would the New Or
leans fre.eater have any objection to say
ing three?) and let the parties fight it
out on some named day and designated
spot in behalf Of their respective nations,
each of the two or three Northern fight
ers to be allowed the privilege of having
good-sized dog upon the ground to be
tugging away at the seat of the Southern
champions breeches through the fight
This, we think, would be just about fair,
and no doubt betting upon the result
would be 80 brisk that the winning sec
ton would be able, with the money won
to pay off all the expenses of its late mil
itary movcment.-Lomsrile Journal
