sold my plantation, set my slaves al
liberty, and quilted my country
And why? Becausd l see slowly but
surely the calamities Of my country
approaching. l hear the coming
storm which will desolatc the paradis-
iacal plains of the sunny South. 1t
is slavery which brings up this cal.
amity. That is the dcmoniacal spirit
of this beautiful, this happy country
this bulwark of liberty.
"To escape the terrible fate, see
only two ways. The first is the vol
nntary abolition Of slavery by the
slaveholding States. The other is the
forced liberation of the slaves by the
people Of the free States. The first
way is impossible now. The doc
trines of John G. Calhoun have daz-
zled the eyes of the shareholders
have covered with flowers the prcci-
picc that is opened at their feet. The
other way the forced abolition of
slavery by the North-is already COM
mencing. A small but determined
party. with the purpose of liberating
the slaves, is spreading over the New
England hills, and never will stop un-
TIL it occupies the wide plains Of the
West, and is covering the whole area
OF the free States. 1t will grow in
strength and extend until the South,
fearing for her slaves and her suprem-
acy, commences the long prepared
fight. The laundering of cannon and
the war-cry of the excited people will
be the commencement of a new era.
Slavery will be subdued after hard
and bloody struggle, and the stars of
liberty and peace will make the again
United States the happiest, the bes,
country in the world"

The Red Stain on the Leaves.

The wood birds 8 nest upon the bough
Deserted hangs, and heaped with leaves,
Once filled with life and joy, but now
Sud as a stricken heart that grieves.
Amid the light of such scene,
Where silent wales and hills are clad
In gayest hues of gold and green,
Why should the human heart he sad
Yet somber thoughts fit through the mind
And pass unspoken and unsung,
As leaves, touched by the Autumn wind,
Fall from the twigs to which they clung
Here, like the patriarch in his dream,
We see the ladder angels trod,
The mountains, to our vision, seem
To lean against the throne of God.
The wells Of golden mist that rise
Over the woodlands to the sea
Drop where the gallant soldier lies,
Whose furlough is eternity ..
Upon the leaves now sere aud red
That once were flakes of fire to me,
l see the blood our armies shed,
That our dear country might be free.

it contains is singular and remarka-
BILE. The language quoted appears
in a conversation represented as oc-

Suspension of HabeaS Corpus.

The Democracy of the North, who
profess 10 reverence, as of the highest
authority, the teachings of Douglas,
it appears to us, should heed his teach
ings more fully in discussing the sus-
pension of habeas corpus by the Presi-
dent. 1t will be recolIected that Gen.
Jackson took the responsibility of
suspeDding that writ at New Orleans
during the threatened attack of the
British. For that act he was arrest
ed, Judgment given against him by
the Court, and penalty of thou
sand dollars imposed. This was the
legal aspect of the case. The people,
however, who saw the imperiled coun-
try, and the means necessary for its
preservation, had no sympathy with
this legal deduction. They twice
elected jackson President, and Con-
gress finally repaid the fine, imposed
10y Judge Hall of New Orleans.
Judge Douglas, then a member of
the lower house of Congress, was
Jealous in his efforts to procure the
refunding Of this fine, and made a
speech on the occasion which called
out the personal thanks of Jackson,
and attracted to him the attention of
the country. In the course of that
speech occurs the extract below, which,
it seems to us, covers the whole ground
of the present emergency. If there is
any thing to be said in the way of
refutation of its positions, we should
be glad to hear from some of the pro-
fessed followers Of Douglas, who con-
denim the Presidents assumption of
power in this respect Mr. Douglas
said
Talk about illegality Talk about
formaltics I! Why, there was but one
formality to be observed, and that
was the formality of directing the can.
non and destroying the enemy, regard.
less of the means, whether it be by
the seizure Of cotton bags, or seizure
of persons, if the necessity of the case
required it. The God of nature has
conferred this right on men and ma.
tions and therefore let him not be
told that it was unconstitutional. To
defend the country, let him not be
told that it was unconstitutional to
use the necessary means. The con
stitu,ion was adopted for the protec.
tion of the country, and under the
constitution the nation had the right
to exercise all the powers that were
necessary for the protection Of the
country. lfmartial law was necessa
ry to the salvation of the country mar
tial law was legal for that purpose
If it was necessary for judge, for q
preservation of order. to punish fol
contempt, he thought it was neces
sary for "a general to exercise contro
over his cannon, to imprison traitors
to arrest spies, and to intercept com
munications with the enemy. If thi
was necessary, this was legal
