The MaIignIty OF the AbOiitiOnists
towards the Border states.

The Smithsonian Institute at Wash
ington is almost daily being desec:ated
by permitting such abolition traitors as
the Rev. Mr.. Cheever and Wendell Phil
lips to vent their bile aud spleen upon
the loyal patriots of the country and
upon the people of the border States in
particular. The Louisville Journal makes
the following just comments concerning
their attacks upon the border States:
"The abolitionists hate the Border
States as good people hate the DEVIL
This is manifest enough. AS an amusing
illustration Of the fact, very distin-
ouished member of the Kentucky Legis-
Iature, who visited Washington several
weeks ago, tells US that the abolitionist
Cheever, in his abolition discourse at the
capital, reserved his particular thundcrp
for the communities which, with strong
Renaissance of his native Down East he
styled the 'b-a.r-d-e-r States and which
he served up for the delectation of his
mainly abolition audience with reckless
pungency not surpassed even by that
which in the days Of Deacon Giles Dis
tilleIy' won for this reverend libeler a
cell in the Jail of Salem. Mr. Cheeyer,
herein at least is fair representative Of
his class. They all hate the Barber
States with a rancor unchecked by hon
esty or truth.
1.-THE reason is plain. We have al
ready stated it. The abolitionists hate
the constitution, and would gladly let the
Union slide rather than have its preserva-
ton attended by the preservation of the
constitution likewise. They want to
abolish the constitution, regardless of
consequences, under the pretext of saving
the Union The border States on the
contrary, want to save the Union by saw
ing the constitution, which they believe
the only effectual method possible. The
border States, being a unit in favor of
this policy, naturally form the head of the
great body of patriots who rally around
the administration that declares and car
ries out the policy in defiance Of aboli.
tionism everywhere. Such is the offence
of the border States in the estimation Of
the abolitionists.
IhcNcry hehu anuifont Oh thclf OuendlnB
Hath this extent no more"
at is for this, and nothing else, that
they are denounced, decried, derided and
detained by every abolition spouter aud
scribbler in the country.
ain a word, the abolitionists and seces-
sionists hate the border States for the
same reason in different aspects. The
abolitionists hate the border States be-
cause they stand by the Union. The
border States, as the steadfast upholders
of both the Union and the constitution,
are the equal and common enemies Of
both tho abolitionsts- and the secession.
lists. And in this two-fold enmity every
true patriot must share. Let the true
patriots of the North bear in mind this
explanation, and the venomous railing Of
the abolitionists against the border States
in general and Kentucky in particular, il
it should be kept up, will do good rather
than hurt. We hope it is doing no great
hurt as the case is"

MISCHIEF-MAKERS

oh could there in this world BIO found
Some little spot Of happy ground,
Where village pleasure might 60 round
Without the village tattling;
How doubly blest that place would be,
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free from tho bitter misery
OF gossips' endless prattling.
II such a spot were really known,
Dame Peace might claim ii as her own,
And in it she might fix her throne
Forever and forever
There like queen might reign and live,
While every one would soon forgive
The little sights they might receive,
And be offended never.
IT'S mischief-makers that remove
Far from our hearts the warmth Of love,
Aud lead us oil TO disnpprovo
What gives another pleasure.
They seem TO take ones part-but when
They've heard our cares, unkindly then
They soon retail thom all again,
Mixed with n poisonous measure.
And then they've such a cunning way
OF telling ill-meent tales, they say
Don't mention what say pray,
would net tell another"
Straight 10 your neighbours house they go,
Narrating everything they know,
And break tho peace Of high and low,
Wife, husband friend and brother
Oh. that the mischief making crew
Wore all reduced to one or two,
And they were painted red or blue,
That every one might know thcm!
Then would one village sure forget
To rage and quarrel, fumc and fret,
And fall into an angry pet,
With things so much below them.
For It's a sad, degraded part
To make another's bosom smnr,,
And plant dagger in the heart
We ought 10 love and cherish
Then let Us overmoro be found
In quietness with oil around,
While friendship, JOY, and peace abound,
And angry feelings pcrish

How beautiful the fol-
lowing gem from the pen Of Prentice,
and how happy the heart that can see
these beauties as he portrays them
"Why is il that the rainbow and the
cloud come over ms with beauty that is
not Of earth, and then pass away, and
leave us to muse on their faded lowell
ness? Why is it that tho stars, which
hold their nightly festival around the
midnight throne, are placed above the
reach Of our limited faculties, forever
hooking us with their unapproachable
gloryY And why is it that bright forms
of human beauty are presented to onr
view, and then taken from us, leaving
the thousand streams of affection TO flow
back in Alpine torrents upon our heartsY
We are born for higher destiny than
that of earth. There is realm where
the rainbow never fades, where the stars
will be set out before us, like islands that
slumber ON the ocean, and where the
beautiful beings that PASS before us like
meteor, will stay in our presence forever"

Old Christmas had come, with his bright merry face,
And bracing airs joyous and keen,
And while the gay holiday folks, at each place,

occupied for several months. The rain which
