John Quincy Adams on secession.

Concerning such crisis as has now come
upon us, Mr.. Adams said, with his accustomed
forethougbt:
ain the calm hours of self possession, the right
of State to nullify'an Act Of Congress, is too
absurd for argument, and too odious for discus
sion. The right of a State to secede from the
Union is equally disowned by the principles OF
the Declaration of Independence. Nations ac-
knowledge no Judge between them upon earth,
aud their governm ents from necessity, must, in
their intercourse with each other, decide when
the. failure Of one party to contract to perform
its obligations absolves the other from the recip
rocal fulflment of its own. But this last Of
earthly powers is not necessary to the freedom
or independence of States, connected together
by the immediate action of the people, of whom
they consist. To the people alone is there re-
served, as well the disolviDg, as the constitu-
ent power, and that powor can be exercised by
them only under the tie of conscience, binding
them to the retributive justice Of Heaven
With these qualifications, we may admit the
same right as vested in the people of every State
in the Union, with reference to tho General
Government which was exercised by the people
Of the United Colonies with reference to the
supreme head OF the British empire, of which
they formed part--and under these limitations
have the people of each State in the Union a
revolutionary right to secede from the con
federated Union itself.
"Thus stands the RIGHT But the indls-
soluble link of union between the people
of the several States of this confederation,
is after all not in the right, but in the
heart. II the day should ever come (may
Heaven avert it) when the affections of
the people of these States shall be alenated
from each other, when the fraternal spirit shall
give way to cold indifference, or collisions of in.
terest shall tester into hatred, the bands of po-
litical association will no. long hold together
parties no longer attracted by the magnetism
Of conciliated interests and kindly sympathies;
and far better will it be for the people of the
dsunited States to part in friendship from each
other, than to be held together by cOnstraint.-
Then will be the time for reVerting to the pre-
cedents which occurred at the formation and
adoption of the Constitution, to form again a
more perfect Union, by dissolving that which
could no longer bind, aud to leave the separated
parts to be reunited by the law of political grav-
itation to the CENTRE"

Tho Icon Trade OF Lake Superior

A correspondent of the Chicago Times com
municates the following interesting facts rela-
tive to the development of the great iron inter
ests of Lake Superior
Very few Of our readers are aware, doubt
less, OF the revolution which is now noiselessly
progressing in the iron trade of the great
Northwest, and which, although developed
within the last four or five years, has already
effectua lily and forever changed the source Of
supply from the East to the West. The reali
zation of this fact is to be seen in the returns
of the business season just closed at the port of
Marquette, the present only outlet of the iron
mines and manufactures OF Lake Superior. -
The iron trade of that region dates only from
1885, when the completion Of the st. Mary's
canal frat permitted vessels to go from lake to
lake without breaking bulk.
We gather from the Marquette Journal of the
9th ult., and other we'll informed sources, the
following statistics of business at that port since
1855, as follows, for iron ere and pigiron. We
ask our readers to note them carefully Ship
ments for June, 1855, i AT tons; 1856, II 1897
tons; 1857, 2G,Ie4 tons; 1858, 80, 1877 tons; 1859
5000 tons; 1860, l50, 1862 tons. For 1861, pro.
pArations are being made to ship 250,000 tons,
which will not more than supply orders already
being made in advance. The shipments of pig
metal were, in 1857, none; in 1858, about ., 600
tons, in 1859, 5000 tons; 1860, 5000 tons; while
new furnaces now erected will, in 1861 increase
the shipments to nearly $4,000 tons, for which
the demand has been constantly in excess of the
supply. Buffalo is now moving to draw her
share of this new commerce. Many will have
noticed the two mammoth establishments in pro.
cess of construction on the banks of the Buffalo
creek, near the line of the Lake Shore Railroad
These are two new blast furnaces, of l6 feet d.
ameter inside, being built for Mr.. Wadsworth,
of Genesee; and other sbrewd and able capital
lists of Buffalo, who built them, expecting to
use Lake Superior ore exclusively, with coal
brought by rail from Pennsylvania.

1Beng on q visit to Washington. during the
reeess OF Congress in the spring of'57, walked
one day with a friend, to view the works which
were then already in progress for the extension
of the capitol. As we eauntered among the
pillars in the basement of the old building, we
felrin with venerable-looking man, having
the appearance of countryman, who seemed
to be there on the same business that we were.
We entered into conversation with him, and he
informed US that he was Virginian, "raised"
few miles down the river, not far from MI.

"you may recollect Gen. WASHINGTON "Per-
fectly WE'LL" replied he, "indeed, saw him

remember very distinctly how he looked ashe
stood in this way over the stone, and settled it
in its place with a pry. 1t was huge stone,
and as placed, it must have required no little
strength 10 move it, but the General was very
athletic man, and moved it apparently with ease.
There were u number Of boys there from our
neighborhood, and it was a standing marvel to
US all, how the General moved that stone. A
fews days after, the General happened to be rid
ing by our school house on horseback, as we
were playing outside. We all pulled of our
hats to him, and he stopped bis horse for
moment, and spoke to us very pleasantly. One
of the boys cried out, Please, General, tell US
how it was you moved that great stone up yon-
der, the other day 'Why, boys said he smil'

you moved it, we all saw you We'll boys,

THR FLIGHT OF THE EMPEROR OF CHINA
The MOniteur de PArmee gives the following
details of tho place to which the Emperor Of
China has 1ed:-"Moukden ia not in Tartary,
properly so called, but in Mandchouria. The
country OF the Mandchoux forms part OF the in
terror provinces Of the empire, and comprises
three departments. Tne first is that Of Ching
King, having for its chief town Moukden or
Foung- -Thean; the second, Ghirin, with chief
town of the same name; and the third is SAX
halien. Oua- -Khoton, with Tsi.Tsikar as its capi-
tai. Il ia in the country of the Mandchoux that
are to be found the most devoted partisans Of the
Tartar.Mandchoux dynasty, which effected con-
quest OfiChina 10 1644 and still reigns over that
vast empire. Mandchouria is separated from
the province Of Petchi-li, in which Pekn Is sit
uated, by that of LaotaDg. Between the two
last named provinces are the high mountains of
Than Y en-, which are Of difficult access, and
must have protected the retreat Of the Empe-
ror. Moukden ia about 400 kilometres (5sths
Of q mile each), from Pekin. II the Emperor
had retired into Tartary, properly 80 called, be
would have had to make journey across Mon
golia Of about 900 kilometres 1925 miles, and
pass through some provinces, the inhehitOnta of
which are completely hostile 70 him.
We may add, in order to explain the English
despatch, that at Hong Kong, Shanghae, and in
the ports on the coast inhabited by Europeans
all the Chinese possessions which have beer
formerly conquered by the Tarars and the Tar
r.Mandchoux-such as Mongolia, Mandchou
ria, Dzoungaria, Daouria, and Chinese Turke-
stan-are all comprised under the general ant
usual nameof Tartary. Moukden was the res
ideace of the sovcreigns of China until l644
the period Of the conquest. 1t comprises two
distinct cties-the Imperial one, which has 6

the former, and is twelve kilometres round, ant
enclosed by wall much more considerable thai
that of Pekin. The population of Moukdel
does not now exceed 100000. The city con-
tains very fine temples, and magnificent build

The Lovers Pride.

believe there ia no period of fife as that
in which thriving lover leaves his mistress af.
ter his first success. His JOY is more perfect
then than at the absolute moment Of his own
eager vow, and her half asserting bushes
Then he Is thinking mostly of her, and is in a
certain degree embarrassed by the efforts nee
essary for success. But when the promise has
once been given to him, and he is able to escape
into the domain of his own heart, ho is q con-
Gueror who has mastered half continent by
bis own strategy. 1t never occurs to him; he
hardly believes that his success is no more than
that which is the ordinary lot of mortal man.
He never reflects that all the old married TO
gies whom he knows and despises have just as
much ground ror pride, if such pride were en-
during; that every fat, silent, dull, somnolent
old lady whom he sees and quizzes has at some
period been deemed as worthy prize as his
priceless galleon; and so deemed by as bold
captor as himself. Some one has said that ey-
ery young mother, when her frat child is born,
regards the babe as the most wonderful produc-
tion of that description, which the world has yet
seen. And this, too, is true. But doubt
whether that conviction is so strong as the cen
viction OF the successful lover, that has achieved
triumph which should ennoble him down to
later generations.

Let the People Consider It

Wehave not learned whether Mr.. Andrew, the
Governor elect Of Massachusetts, has returned
home, after the utterance of the ferocious senti
ments imputed to him at Washington. Itseems
that he and Burlingame, and other blusterera, in
conclave at that capital have determined that the
integrity Of the Union must be PRESCRIBED, that is,
translating their language into it's meaning-that
by no concession shall the ends and airs which
the class f"Republicans represented by Messrs
Andrew, Burlingame, Tappan, Doolitsle, Trum-
bull, Blair, etc., be defeated even though it "cost
millions OF lives" Why, these fanatics talk Of
sacrificing the lives of men, women and children,
as colly as the tyrant Domitian would have
talked of the flies which il was his daily amuse.
nent to impale! And this same Mr.. Andrew,
who was 80 philsnthropic that he could not
bear che idea of hanging q pirate and mur-
derer, and skurried backwards and forwards to
Washington with petitions to prevent it--now
goes over the same ground to "stiffen up'' his
confederates in Congress, lest they should yield
auything-and rather than they should do so,
would sacrifice "millions of ives!" Before the
election he professed himself" "a man ofpeace,'
nov, he is ready for the bloody drama Of
civil war; Such are the natural fruits of ffanat-
ical philanthropy. But these men have yet tc
learn that the lives at which they aim can be
Protected as well as assailed.-BostOn Courier

Scrofula, or Kings Evil

Is constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes yitiated
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation !,
pervades the whole body, and may burst our
IN oisease on any part of it. No organ Is free
from Its attacks, nor is there one which IL NAV
not destroy. The scrofulous faint il variouslxy
caused by mercurial disease, low living. dis.
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air fItb
and filthy habits, the depressing vices and
above oil, by the venereal infection. What.
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed
1t seems to be the rod Of Him who says, "i
viii visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
r,uptlon, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies Of life so that scrofulous constitu-
nons not only suffer from scrofulous com
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this tant in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
yigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

remedy which, while it cures the above complaints

other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
