|. PADDLE YOUR OWN CANOE


To yourself be true,
And where'es you maybe,
Paddle your own canoe.
Never, though the winds may rave,
Falter, nor look back
But upon the darkest wave
Leave a shining track.
Every wave that bears you on
To the silent shore,
From its sunny source has gone, l
To return no more.
Then let NOT an honr's delay
Cheat you Of your due;
But, while i, is calfd to-day,
Paddle your own canoe. As
II your birth denied you wealth,
Lofty state and power,
Honest fame and hardy health
Are better dover.
But il these uiIl not snf6ce, s
Golden gain pursue;
And to gain the slittering price,
Paddle your own canoe.
Nothing grea, is lightly won.
Nothing won is lost,
Every good deed, molly done,
VIII repay the cost. ~
Leave to Heaven, in humble trust,
All you will to do,
But il you succeed, you me
Paddle your own canoe.

The Herald says the telegraph advices
which we publish this morning throw a
food of light upon the late ministerial
and military consultation in that quarter,
especially upon the order of the ed from
the War Department. defining the en-.
forcement of the confscation act 1t thus
appears that between the Republican
radicals and conservatives the Cabinet
has been upon the verge of a complete dis
solution, that Mr. Seward had made up his
mind to resign his position Of his conciIi-
atory and magnanimous counses were to
be superseded by the violent measures
demanded by our abolition fanatics that
his retirement would have led to an en-
tire reconstruction Of the Cabinet, and
that to avoid such cmbarrassments at this
crisis and especially to retain the invalu-
able services Of Mr.. Seward in the State
Department, the President has resolved
to harmonic as far as possible the exc
cution Of the confscation and militia acts
with the conservative war policy which
has thus far marked every act. message,
or proclamation Of the Administration.

calls upon me as the claw officer of the
United States" 'to take hold Of persons

1t is unfortunately the fact that there
is no Tar which reaches the case of treas
enable utterances either spoken or written.
An individual or newspaper may con-
tinue day after day to outrage the loyal
feelings of the community by pouring
forth abuse Of the government--denounc-
ing its laws or proclaiming sentiments SO
odious to the feelings of all true patriots
as to make their blood boil with indiana-
ton, but the lam gives no remedy.
Where the words are not accompanied
with or followed by arts of treason, the
law is powerless.
Our revolutionary fathers in the days
of old had a summary method of dealing
with such eases of which the Times seems
naturally enough 10 feel some apprehen-
sion.
The Times may be assured that If the
law had furnished any remedy for slhe
United States District Attorney" to sup
press such reasonable utterances, either
of speech or press, it would have been
applied long before this.
As it is, the people have no remedy
but to submit like our fathers in the olden
times until the danger to the public safety
requires that the evil shall be suppressed,
or until the offenders shall be summarily
taken in charge by the military (not the
civil) authorities and consigned for
season to Fort Lafayette.
