Az AnnEsT.-Some years ago, small
sized man went to the plantation of gem
man not far from Louisville, who was
light III wit, but rather heavy in Gesh,
with piece of paper in his hand, folded
in Il form, and known by the abbreyiation
OF ca. sa. Having found the owner of the
plantation in the field, he explained his
business, when lie was requested to read
capias, which commenced as usual" you
are hereby commanded without delay to
the body of &C.
" Humph r says the prisoner, stretching
himself on his back, II IN ready"
Oh, but You dou't expect me to carry
you in my arms q
Certainly YOU must take my body,
you know. ! do not resist the process Of
the law, but submit with cheerfulness"
Will you not wait until can bring
cart %
Cant promise. l may recover from
my fatigue in the meantime"
Well, what must doy'
- ou must do your duty"
And then he lay immoveatle until the
sheriff left, when he left also.

) The bare possibility Of our being unable
to uphold our government, has already
filled the tyrants of the old world with de.
light. We see with what indecent haste
the crowned heads OF Europe rush to dis,
embowel the Republic of Mexico, in order
that they may gain foothold on this con-
tinent for the advancement and perpetual
tion of their rotten and imbecile govern
ments. Three mighty nations make COM
mon cause to overthrow a weak and help
less government, on the pretext that few
millions OF money are not paid on demand.
| But the whole world knows that this sub.
teriuSe Is not the cause of all this eager
ness to divide and parcel out this unfortu.
nate and feeble government. Room is
wanted for some imbecile dolt or new
hedged spris Of royalty to sway a sceptre
over nation on this continent, in order
to overshadow the vigorous growth of our
! government and bring in contempt our
glorious institutions. Our domestic trou-
| bles and internal broils have been seized
Vi on as fitting moment for these robbers
OF the world to commence their depreda-
tlons They fancy that our present weak
ness may prove the hour of their success.
Not only this. For years and years
have they proiessed much hypocritical
anxiety tor the welfare of our country.
Their pupits and their presses have vomi-
ted forth unceasing strains against our
immortality and unchristian conduct
Largely have they prolessed to sympathze
with these Northern States, and deeply
have they lamented our want Of progress
and civilization; yet now we find all their
efforts and all their sympathy enlisted
against the hardy toll and patriotic feel
LIS of the North, and cringingly begging
tJr the products Of the South. Their deep /
morality all at once has taken the wings /.
of the morning and flown to the uttermost !
parts of the earth
Thus it ever goes. Those who should |
have been our friends and allies in these !
dark hours Of our national distress, are |
the first to whet their swords and strike 1
a deadly blow at our very vitals Yet be |
il so This nation has been destined bv |
an overruling Providence to triumph over |
all obstacles, and who can say but that ,
the deep walIngs Of the bereft-of the 1
mothers weeping over their fallen sons
OF wives sundering the tender chords of
their broken hearts-of families lameuting
the disruption Of their households-may
not all have been in vain. The schooling
OF our brave and gallant young men in
the use 0! wars destructive weapons-the
inuring OF our ch!yalry to the hardships

into their young and ardent blood the
gallant exploits of the tented feld-all
may not have been in vain, if a righteous
retrbution shall overtake the proud and
naughty tyrants of the old world Who
does not wish that our own di>sensious +,
may be brought to a speedy clo,e, and |
once more, "a in days gone by. we may
join our hands in cheerful gladness, and /
with strong united effort cause the /
proud and despot.C mouarchs Of Europe !
to treIuble on their thrones?
