to give more opportunity for volunteering.

sword, let him seize a bayonet, and rush on to
the charge.

knowledge of the acts of the legislators as an
indication of approaching despotism. Sensi-
ble madness.
nE-Our National edifice is on fire, and the
great problem is, not who first applied the in
cendiary torch, but how TO extinguish the
flames. Let the fire first be put out-and we
shall not scan any man at the brakes to ascer-
tain his nationality or color-and then if we
can find the incendiaries, we viii deal with
them in the most exemplary manner.s

Oxford took preliminary steps to unite the two
factions of the party-the Danaites and Jane
son men-but before doing so, they endorsed
and adopted the resolutions of the late Dana
Convention. This is equal to the pious old
