We commend this language 10
the calm consideration of those Ten
nesseeans who are not aroused 20
sense OF the crisis that is upoe Us.
1t is the language Of gallant North
ern man:
So far as We can learn, The Dhited
voice OF the Democracy Of Maine is
that the difficulties between the North
and South must be compromised, or
the separationo of the States SHALL
BE PEACEABLE. If the Repob-
liean party refuses to go the full
length Of the Crittenden amendment,
which is The very least the South can

not Democrat will be found who
will raise an arm against bis brethren
Of the South. Ii is enough that the
Black Republicans have robbed us
of our glorious Union. They shall
not now precipitats US into an upjusti-
fable and cruel civil war. From one
end of the State to the other let the
cry Of the D. moeracy be "COMPRO-

A YOUNG wIFE's SONG.

NY cottage home is fll'd with light
The long, long summer day,
But, ah! dealer love the night,
And hail the sinking ray,
For eve restores me one whose smile
Doth moro than mornings match
And life afresh seems dawning while
His hand is on the latch!
When autumn fields are thick with sheaSes
And shadows earlier fall,
And grapes grow purple meath the caves
Along our trellis'd WALL
dreaming sit--the sleepy bird
Faint twittering in the thstch--
To wake to joy when soft is heard
His hand upon the latch
In the short winter afternoon
throw my work aside,
And through the lattice, whilst the moon
Shines misty and wide.
On the dim upland paths peer
In vain his form to catch--
l startle with delight aud hear
His hand upon the latchi
Yes; am his in storm and shine;
For me he tolls all dav;
And his true heart know is mine,
Both near me and away.
And when he leaves our garden gate
At morn. his steps l watch--
Then patiently till eve await
His hand upon the latch!

There are many UtHtF pr1uucts
largely cultivated in the South, not
enumerated in the above. Hereto
fore the cotton. rice and sugar States
have found il to be more profitable
to cultivate those staples to the
exclusion Of all other products, and
depend upon the Northwest for corn,
pork, -four, etc. That WAS matter
of choice, not Of necessity. The Dor,

The BAPTIsrs AT BEAUFORT The town
of Beaufort has Baptist church which has a
larger membership than any other of that
denomination in the world. 1t is principally
made up of negroes. and there must be many
OF them among the black throng which has
floeked TO our camps. Rev. II. L. Wayland,
who is now there as chaplain of one of our
regiments, will probably find himself sur
rounded by Baptist brethren. The pastor of
the Beaufort Baptist church was, at the last
accounts we had from it, Rev. L. r. Wilson,
formerly settled at Elmra, in this state. He
was ut the north some months since, and
talked of making arrangements to bring his
family and remain here. Mr.. Wilson declared
to us at the time lie was h re, that he was still
a Union man, but had to keep discreet tongue
to save himself from trouble. We are told
another interesting tact i'll connection with
Beaufot-that it is in that district that the
plantation of Rev. DR.. L Her lies. Ii this is
so, our Baltimore friend must be the poorer
no, rather the richer-by the loss of LOT
Of negroes DR.. Fuller has for several years
expressed willingness 10 give freedom to his
slaves, in case lie could be convinced that they
would be placed in secure and comfortable

Talking about misrepresentation, why does
the Worcester Spy, when it quotes from US
the statement that Mr.. Sumner advocated cap
plying immediate and wholesale emancipa
ton, leave of the remainder of our sentence,
to wit $50 far as that event is possibl. with
the government and the army % Answer us
that.-BoSton Journal
We did quote the whole, as you will see by
referring sonee more to our two extracts"
And we put after it quotation from Mr.. Sum-
ner's lecture, which explicitly contradicted
what you said. He did not propose "immedi-
ate and wholesale emancipation" either with
or without qualifications. He carefully alb
stained from proposing any plan. And take
notice: the question is not xhat Mr.. Sumner
might propose should he devise and announce
a plan for dealing with slavery in connection
with the rebellion, but whether he did propose
such scheme as you alleged, or any other
scheme. We repeat that your account of his
position, as stated in his lecture, was not cor
rect; nor can you make it correct by quoting
what you fancy Mr.. Sumner would propose
should lie cut himself loose from the admins
tration, and put forth in opposition to it very
radical policy on the "contraband" question
When you find him in such a position vou
can state the fact without doing injustice.
