New BUSINESS FOR THE CORN EXCHANGE.
A good thing came off on Tuesday, when the
Corn Exchanges last corps left Philadelphia
for Harrisburg. Among the men was one who
had a young wife. While they were waiting
for, the order to march, the young wife was
taking leave of her husband, in accents broken
and eyes that lay bedewed in tears, like violets
in a summer shower. The man carressed her,
but the tears still started; he told her of the
patriotism and munifcence of the Corn Ex-
change Association, yet the crystals continued
to fall; he told her of the country's danger,
but sher anguish was not 500 h d. At a,t,
weary of his endeavors he tried another tack.
sally, said he, quit crying. You see what the
Corn Exchange has done. They've paid you
my bounty, fitted me out, and everything"
Yes" the girl sobbed, "but-
"But what?"
"But if you get killed, what then?"
"Why,"-the man hesitated for moment,
until lucky thought struck him-"Why then
the Corn Exchange will find you another hus-
band!'
The ludcrousness of the idea changed the
current of the girls feelings, and smile
wreathed her pretty mouth and dimples in
manner that was pleasant to behold. The last
tear rolled away, and as the word forward
was given she gave the young recruit last
kiss aud departed in good cheer.-[ Philadel-

Who are not Abolitionis,s, ,

Certain papers are constantly fiinging about
abolitionists, as though there was something
really disgraceful in being obnoxious to such
a charge. We think the disgrace is on the
other side, and that not to be an aboitionist at
the present time, and in the 'laze of light now
beaming upon the pathway of human duty. is
a position far from enviable We quote below
the Southern Literary Messenger, by De Bow,
published at Richmond, Virginia - the best
literary magazine ever printed south of Ma
son and Dixon's line,--to show what consti-
tutes an abolitionist; and with this definition
in view we repeat, Who are not abolitionists !?
DE Bow says:
An abolitionist is any man who does not love
slavery for its own sake as a divine institution
who does not worship it as cornerstone of
civil liberty; who does not adore il as the only
possible condition in which permanent re-
publican government can be created: and who
does not, in his inmost soul, desire to see it
extended and perpetuated over the whole
earth, as a means of human reformation Sec
ond in dignity, importance and sacredness to
the Cristian religion. He who does not love
African slavery with this love is an abolition

HERsEY's TRIAL.-We have received from
the publishers, A. Williams & Co., Boston,
full report OF the trial etc. of Geo. c. Hersey for
the murder of Miss Tirrell, before the supreme
court of Mass. Hersey was executed in Ded-
ham Jail on the sth of Aug. last, two years and
quarter after his arrest. The publishers say :
No case of poisoning ever created so great
an interest in this country as that which forms
the subject of this report. Aside from the
questions involved In the ease the social posi-
ton of the murdered girl. and the confidence
which her family had placed in her seducer,
made his acts so atrocious aud ungrateftll. that
the attention of the public at no time subsidized,
but throughout the proceedings was on the
strain to know If a man could really be so gull
ty. This Is one of the most remarkable aud
conclusive cases of eireumstaI.tial evidence in
the annals Of crime. and a case where the yir-
diet Is confirmed by the confession of the pris-
oner. To the sciences of medicine aud chem
isiry this ease j. of great Importance II is
believed To be the first case of poisoning hv
strychnine ever published in this coun'r a..
This Is also believed to he the only case eve
published In which strychnine was found by
chemical analysis in the body Of the deceas-
cd.

Hon. ii. j. Raymond, editor of the New

State, recently made speech in the Republi-

had got TO work, to prevent the State from
being placed in false position by the opposi-
tion. Mr.. Raymonds favorite candidate was

elect the successful candidate than it would
have required to elect the man OF his choice, and
his language implied that he felt as much

burlesque language of the World,-not word
of which Mr.. Raymond uttered,-and repre-

Practical Test OF the Loyalty of our People.

Nearly century ago a small tax upon tea
gave rise to the greatest tea-party of which
history gives any account The Bostonians
took their harbor for teapot, put in the
precious weed by the cargo, and the thing was
done up in style to astonish the children of
the Sun, and in manner of which the disci-
Piles Of Confucius never even dreamed. From
that day to the present there has been no sub
ject upon which the people of this country
have been more acutely sensitive than taxa
ton. At the very mention of taxes or taxa
ton, the great masses have been quick Ito
scent a mice" and cagle-eyed to spy "a cat
under the meal' With such antecedents we
were quite curious to see with what spirit the
new tax lately levied by Congress would be
received by the people. We are happy to
learn that thus far it meets with prompt.
cheerful and hearty response. First came the
enactment requiring all the traders of differ
ent grades to be licensed. This they have
promptly complied with. In some few cases
1t may be found that person inadvertently or
unwittiugiy may have taken out the wrong
license, that is as a retailer, when wholesale
dealer would have been more proper, but these
will be found TO be isolated cases, the excep-
tons not the rule Tradesmen, manufacturers,
and others reached by the license enactment,
have come promptly forward, stated the nature
and amount Of their business. and taken and
paid for the licenses required. There has been
no snarling, whining or croaking; on the other
hand not few have been the expressions Of
honest patriotism which have come out as
these licenses have been paid for. Said one
man In our hearing, Il am willing TO pay, the
tax Is no OBJECT only put down the rebellion
and restore the government"
Next Aztec the licenses came the stamp duty,
which was Intended 10 take effect the first of
October. but rs yet the government has not
been able 10 furnish the stamps. The STAMPS,
ne learn, have been called Tor by ali classes Of
persons, srom the men In poor Jackets up 10 the
men with goid-headed canes and Ia nice broad
cloth--and the reason given has invariably
been. that they wished to comply with thu law.
These Escn show that We are a law-abiding
people, and taxation, however obnoxious Il
may have been in days past, Is eheerfully re-
sponded 10 when levied by the proper eonsti-
tafed authorities Of the land.
II has oflen been sneerngly said that re-
Publican government eanno, be a strong gov
ernment; now we maintain just the opposite,
that 1t Is strong government because II has
lts origin and existence In the consent OF the
governed Every voter can be heard at the
ballot box, and having there exercised their
prerogative Of voting for Lawmakers, they feel
honorably bound. eheerfuily TO obey, and
promptly abide by, those laws which are enact
ed BY men whom the majority Of the people
have placed In power.

Mr.. Tenney, of the Brunswick Telegraph,
betrays anything but good humor because one
Of his own townsmen, for whose political opn-
ions he has never been guilty of showing even
the slightest degree of respect, was allowed to
speak Of his unfarness, In our columns. He
resorts TO the most unbecoming epithets TO ap-
ply 10 our correspondent; styles him "A COM
pound OF the sneak and the scoundrel,' ~vil-
lain" an assassin and much more in the
same strain; and he will not believe us, per-
haps, when we tell him that IL is precisely such
slang. hurled at Us good men as Brunswick or
any other town can boast, that has done much
TO keep down his circulation. We assure Mr..
Tenney that our correspondent is neither
"sncak" nor "scoundrei," that no more hon
orable. gentlemanly or high-minded man re-
sides In his town, and from his uniform mild
ness, his unvarying gentleness of manner, his
perfectly unassuming spirit, and the general
high estimation In which he is held he is per-
haps the very last man that Mr.. Tenney would
suspect of giving him such deserved though
severe scourging as he has administered Mr.
Tenneys Observation-Disclosures that we were over
er ready to admit to our columns vndictive
and malicious assault upon himself; that no
fair dealing would be accorded to him by us !:
that our taste is depraved and that we were
all too eager to allow personal attack to be
made In our columns upon la "brother editor"
is duly appreciated. 1t seems to us that he
has no special claims upon our courtesy, con-
sidering that he has denounced us as an abo-
litionist, whom he hates as he does secession
ist and who should swing on the same gal
lows that is erected for the traitors. Bro. r.,
