THE VALUE OF THE UNION.
The value ofal the materialism of the world
consist in the union of nature and art. The
earth produces the materials which art makes
use Of to build up and enrich the world. The
earth may be called the bank of the vegetable
and mineral wealth Of the world. Labor is the
only intrinsic value in the world. knowledge
IL the power Of all powers. The press is a COM
bination Of powers that move the mental and
physical world Of mankind to action and TO
duty. The present deranged and fallen conli-
ton Of the people, require the union of all the
yirtuOus and good of our nation. We not only
want union in every principle which is right in
the sight OF God but protection, honesty, G.
economy, temperance in all things, love to God
and love to man, in acts Of charity, humanity,
and hospitality to all the sons and daughters
Of want who are less favored in body, mind or
estate. The present condition of the people, |
not only requires union Of effort, but union In
the remedies to do away with the many mental
and physical oppressive influences, which are
in vogue, filling up our various institutions
with unfortunate mankind.

ANOTHER PLAS.-Another plan for the adj
jus;mcnt is the extending Of the Missouri COM
promise on the line Of 80 30 to the boundary Of
California, and in connection with II the incor-
poration into the Constitution OF provision
that all territory hereafter acquired shall be by
a vote of two thirds OF the States. This plan is
much less Objectionable than Mr.. Crittenden's
but the practical trouble in the way is, that Tit
should be acceptable to the Republicans. there
is not the remotest probability that 1t would
find favor in the eyes OF Southern men.
