WHAT Is LIFE INsURANcE?-1. 1t Is the ex-
ercise Of prudence, of benevolence. 2. 1t secures
independence, domestic happiness to the widow
and orphan. 3. Is more efficacious in IFS opera
tons as regards the moral and domestic comfort
Of the people, and IN its tendency 10 reduce taxa
ton, by its reduction Of pauperism, and possibly
OF crime, than the legislation of our wisest states
men; and, if universally adopted, would be ma
tiona blessing. a. 1t affords to persons of every
class, and in every station OF life, the means to
avoid much future misery TO their families, and to
render them independent of fpublic ol private
charity. --
While it is the manifest and imperative duty of
every parent, curing his lifetime, to embrace all
honorable means of supporting and advancing the
interest of his offspring, so it is equally his duty
TO avoid leaving them at his death to grope their
way in helpless poverty through an uncharitable
world; and equally apparent is the duty of every
husband to provide, in case Of his death, for the
surviving widow. To effect all which Life Insu-
rance Companies have been formed, which enable
every husband and parent, by the payment of a
small sum, either nnually or quarterly, to pro-
vide for his widow and fatherless children.

Tha Difference.

Some OF our readers have no doubt reac
the Abolition speech Of Charles Sumner
United States Senator from Massachusetts,
and Chairman Of the Committee on For.
egn Relations in the Senate.
This Abolition babb'er, has lately beer
fulminating lis pe. dogma before the peo
rla of this coahtry though the channels o
Black Republican State Convention /,
Massachusetts,, urging upon the War pow,
er Of the Government the duty OF eman /.
cipatine all tho slaves in the country.
The two political heresies Secession and
Ablitionism, have each had able advo-
Gates in both sections OF cur country in
the Senate and ia Congress. The South
boasts of her secession leaders, Davis,
Toombs, Coob, Wise,a and host Of others,
who have engaged TO practically demon
strate their heresy. In the north, we
have such champions as Sumner, Gid.
dings Wade, Chandler, and Halo, who
boldly faced their brother heretics from
the House; but now. when they have
brought the present calamity upon the
nation, these northern champions refuse
to practically engage in carrying out their
Abolition theory. Unlike their allies in
the South, who say coms-they meanly
skulk about their homes urging men to
gol The clustering courage formerly ex-
hibited by them on the floor of Congress
seems to have totally evaporated. 1t
would look much better fer Mr.. Sumner
and his colaborers heie in the north, 10
so and meet their former equals upon the
field Of carnage, and thereby demonstrate
to the whole country the honesty of their
purpose. Thus, while Davis, Toombs,
Wise & Co., are in the front rank of their
Army, we find such patriots vs. Sum.
ner, Greedy, Wide & Co., babbling about
home, and laboring zeolously TO bring
about division in the North similar to
that inaugurated by them between the
North and the South. FMS Mr.. Sumner
Glledges in his speech, this war must re-
suit in the emancipation of the negroes,
and must be prosecuted with that result
in view, why does he not step forward and
lead regiment ION to Richmond AND
thus demonstrate the feasibility of his
Abolition heresy.
One of two things is patent in the con
duet OF Mr.. Sumner and his colaborers
here in the North, they have either full
confidence that the Administration at
Washington will do for them what they
desire ard claim as duty upon the par
of the government to free the slaves or,
they are dcmagogues and towards OF the
meanest kind.
