Their own words are, "Tolcration is q

that the Puritans of New England perse-

Saxon hands for religions sake they shed
one hundred years after Old England had
dropped that devils work forever. And
the only blood ever shed on this CONT

mouth and Massachusetts, colonies. 1t is
time that fact was distinctly known.
The Roman Catholics in Maryland, the
Episcopaians in Virginia, the Quakers in
Pennsylvania, the Dutch in New York,
did establish and practice "liberty " of
conscience" but never the Puritans in
New England. They bitterest fault they
ever found with Charles H., was that he
interfered, by royal pardon, to save from
the stake some Anabaptists, whom the
Puritans were bound to burn. That, in
their eyes, was the crime of his life.
They tolerate! Why, Story says that in
1877 five-sixths Of all the inhabitants Of
Massachusetts, were disfranchised, not to
be tried as freemen, or have freemen's
rights, because the law of that colony re-
quired every voter to be Congregation.

MAKING SOMETHING OUT OF THE OLD
WOMAN AT LAST. - had Just about
one of the LATEST and most Urinary wives
poor feller ever got stuck on. She
wasn't wuth shucks. She would work
till she shivered, and eat till she sweated.
Howsoever, the poor critters gone under
now, and don't know as oughter say
anything agin her. Well, about twenty
years ago, her and me was travelin' in
a train out West | was dead broke
hadn't airy red, and was drelfully down in
the mouth. Just as | was tryin' to fix on
some method to raise the wind, suddenly
the train was bruug up all standin' and
the splinters was flyn' in every direction.
In two minits passengers was layin'
around loose, groanin' and hollerin' for
help, and there was an orful time gene
rally. As luck would have it, neither me
nor the old woman was hurt a mite, but
as looked at her, the idcc suddenly oc-
Cured to me that there was a chance to
make something or of her. So says /,
Deb, you've never bin no count to me.

fotchcd her an old socket plum on the

Be CAUTIOUS BEFORE CHILDREN.-A
gentleman was in the habit of calling at a
neighbours house, and the lady had always
expressed much pleasure in seeing him.
One day, just after she had remarked to
him her happiness from his visit, the little
boy entered the room. The gentleman
took him on his knee, and asked:
Are you glad to see me, George?'
NO, sir, replied the boy.
why not, my little man!'
Because mother don't want you to
come, said George.
Here the mother looked daggers at her
little son, and her face became crimson,
but he saw nothing.
Indeed, how do you know that p
Because she said yesterday she wished
that old bore would not call again!'
The old gontleman's hat was soon in
requisition, and he left with the pleasing
impression that truth is mighty and will
prevail

SARCAsTIc.-The sycophants who are
constantly praising the Administration,
are thus quietly rebuked by a cotempo-

and that she attacked the rations vigor-

WENDELL PnIIIrs ON ToUssAINr
EOuvrKrv NE.-As Wendell Phillips with
his radical policy has attempted to obtain
the entire control Of the Government, it is
well we should occasionally notice the
man-otherwise we should not add to his
infamous notoriety, by any suggestions in
these columns, He has lately delivered
at the Cooper Institute, New York, and
at the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, an
address on the St. Domingo negro, whose
name heads this article It is sufficient
TO designate the character Of the addNess.
and Of the man, who attempts to control
this great nation, to say that he proves
very satisfactorily, that the negro is su-
perior to the white man. He iustifes all
the horrors and brutalities Of the insur-
rection at st. Domingo. lie estimates
this black savage as greater statesman
than either Cromwell or Napoleon. And
finally he places him far above our illus
trious Washington. Here is the Ian.
guage: :" would call him Washington,
but the Virginian held slaves. This man
| risked his empire, rather than permit the
slave trade. Fifty years hence when inn
partial history gets written, some Plu.
tarch of later days,~~wiIl put Phocion for

SPEECH OF THE Hon. WIN. B. REED.-A
short while ago the Hon. WIN. B. Reed,
formerly U. S. Minister to China, and one
of the leaders of the old Wing party,
made a speech in Philadelphia, at the
Democratic headquarters. According to
report, it was decidedly anti-war and in
favor Of peace. The following is an ex-
tract from his brilliant, patriotic and un-
answerable speech:
"The accursed doctrine Of State Rights"
think of these words, citizens of this
sovereign State. Think of the curse that,
from his little Mount Ebal in Congress,
this creature (Mr Olin, Of New York, } OF
a moment dares to hurl at rights which
the constitution guarantees, and which
Pennsylvania had and enjoyed and fought
for, before the constitution even existed.
Think of representative from New York
"a State which came into the Union too
late to vote for George Washington, curs-
ing the rights of Virginia, where Wash
ington was born, and where. in the only
border spot which civil war has not desc
lated, his ashes repose {; where John Mar
shall lived and died, who, in every conSti-
and respected these accursed rights"
and expressly the sovereignty" Of the
States the land Of jefferson, and Madi-
son, and Monroe, and Henry, and John
Taylor, of Caroline-men destined to live
in story when the fierce fanatics Of this
day Of sorrow shall be forgotten, and
whose names will survive, either on the
temple or its ruins, when the storm and
the earthquake shall pass by.
Think, citizens of Pennsylvania, of this
irrcv railer, this tit representative of
party of destruction, from his place of
fancicd security, daring to fling his male
dictions at the Keystone Of the broken
arch, hanging, as it does, doubtlully over
the ruin and gravitating below. Think,
Pennsylvanians, for such you were before
the Union had an existence, and such you
will proudly be, if, in the Providence of
God, the Union has gone from US, Of those
rights being cursed, which your ancestors
thought they gave you. Think Of all this;
and then | ask you, in the name of the
Constitutional Democracy Of Pennsylva-
mia, to stand shoulder to shoulder in the
new conflict now impending Tor the con-
stitution and the rights, the inalienable,
indestructble State rights, that guard our
tiresides and homes. Maintain these sa-
cred local rights as you would the domes.
tic purity of your family. Let them be
broken down, and you will sink with all
your nationality. If there ere no water
tight compartments, or they be destroyed,
depend on it the flag won't save the ship
from laundering.
