John Brown.

Among the letters found in Jefferson
Davis's library is one from Mr.. james s.
Mason, written during the Presidential
campaign of 1856. and advising the seces-
sion of the South in case General Fremont
was elected. 81 am candidate for the
first halter" wrote Mr.. Mason. II is
noticeable that the first man hung in this
war was John Brown. The death of this
lonely old man was for an act conscien-
tioasly committed in the cause of human
freedom. With one or two friends, with
a few colored men, some old muskets and
pixies, he deliberately went into Virginia
and made war upon the accursed system
of slavery. 1t was Ajax defying the
lightning. He failed, IS all the world
might have known-Sas probably in his
heart he knew he would. Blu: he died
strong in his own proud consciousness,
and sbamed in his death the lives of those
around him. AS he passed from the
prison gloom into the sunlight on his
death day, he took from the arms of q
weeping slave woman her little smiling
babe and kissed it, blessing in that sub
lime act the down-trodden race for which
his life was sacrificed On the scaffold
he calmly looked around him and said,
Chow beautif1 are the green fields p A
little longer, and he looked on them no
more.
The execution of old John Brown
shocked the heart of the North; those
who blamed the act respected the man,
and blushed at the pitiful want of mag
nanimity on the part of the Virginian
shareholders. The heroic spirit was not
dead in the free States; thousands felt
that John Brown was justified in his own
heart. His death was CALLING to the warm
sympathies of freemen. Yet no attempt
was made in the North to resist, by force,
his execution. Kansas did not frantically
secede, nor did Massachusetts,, with all
her Abolitionists, threaten to destroy the
Union.
John Browns transgression of the law
did not compare with the crime the slave.
holders committed. The men that hung
him were even then plotting the great
wickedness of the age, and he was slair
for trying to save few negroes from
bondage, that they might with the more
safety attempt the murder of their coun
try. And how great is the contrast be
tween the law-abiding, loyal North, which
permitted Virginia to lang John Brown
because it was written in the bond, and
the treacherous South then preparing tc
tear the bond asunder. The Constitution
was sacred as it protected slavery; worth
less as it protected freedom. There wa
not traitor in the Senate, or in the Cab
met of James Buchanan, who was not ter
times worthier halter than this brave
old hero; and those who clamored at The
time the most loudly for his blood knew
well their own guilt was greater. In 1856
there were more candidates for the halter
than Mr. Mason.

Advice 20 Ysung men.


A lady, who signs herself "a Martyr to
Late Hours, = offers the following sensible
suggestion 70 young men:
"Dear gentlemen between the ages Of
eighteen and forty-6ve,' listen to . few
words of gratuitous remarks. When you
make social call Of An evening, on
young lady, 60 away at a reasonable hour.
Say you come at O'Clock, an hour and
halfis certainly as long as the most fascina-
ting of you can, or rather ought, TO use his
charms. Two hours indeed, can be very
pleasantly spent, with music, chess or
rather games to lend variety; but, kind
sirs by no means stay longer. Make short
er calls, come oftener. A girl-that is,
assnsible, true hearted girl-will enjoy
it better, and really enjoy her acquain-
lance more.
Just conceive the agony of girl who,
well knowing the feelings of father and
mother on the subject, hears the clock
strike ten, and yet must sit upon the edge
Of her chair, in mortal terror, lest papa
should put into execution his oft repeated
threat that of coming down and in
viting the gentleman up to breakfast
And we girls understand it all by expe-
rience and what it is to dread the prog.
nostic of displeasure. In such cases a
sigh Of relief generally accompanies the
closing of the door behind the gallant,
and one don't forget the trouble till safe :
ly in the arms of Morpheus. Even then
sometimes the dreams are troubled by
the phantoms of an angry father, and a
distressed (tor all parties mother--and
all because young man will make long
er stay than he ought to.
Now, young gentlemen friends, I'll tell
you what we girls will do. For an hour
and half we will be most irresistably
charming and fascinating. Then beware;
monosyllable responses will be all you can
expect; and if, when the limits shall have
been passed, startling query shall be
heard coming down stairs-"Isn't it time
to close up" You must consider it a
righteous punishment, and, taking your
hat, meekly depart.
Do not get angry, but the next time
you come be careful to keep within jus,
bounds. We want to rise early these
pleasant mornings and improve the shi-
ming hours; but when forced to be up al
such unreasonable hours of the night
exhausted nature will speak. and, as {
natural consequence, with the utmost
speed in dressing, We can barely get dowr
to breakfast in time to escape a repri
mand from papa, who don't believe il
beauxs-as though he never was young
and a mild reproving glance from mother
who understands a little better poo
daughters feelings, but must still disap
prove outwardly TO keep up appearances
And now, young men, think abou
these things. and don't, for PHYS sake
don't throw down your paper with
"pshaw"-but remember the safe side Q
ten.

ACa,hoIIc Review on slavery.

In an article on the " Return of the
Rebel States,' Brownson's Review for
October says:
We have urged the abolition of slavery,
and, as far as practicable, its per-
pelual exclusion from the United
States, for reasons of state, and chief
ly as necessary to the future internal
and external security Of the Republic.
We have, in no instance, taken the ground
of the Abolitionists, and we have refrain
ed from doing SO, partly because we do
not wholly agree with them, and partly
Gin Difference to the passions and preju.
dices to our countrymen. But it is by no
means improper for a statesman to reflect
that slavery is sin on the part of the
nation that, having the power to remove
1t, authorizes, or tolerates, or connives
at Its existence; and that as nations have
no future life, national sins are and must
be punished in this world.
Our Indifference to the wrong done by
slavery, both to the slaves and to his mas
ter, has already been visited upon our ma
ton with one of the most formidable civil
wars that slavery records and it will not
render the great Arbiter of nations less
disposed to smile on our patriotic efforts
and to give success to our arms, if He
sees US resolved to put away the evil of
our doings, to remember His poor, to
raise up the bowed down, to help the
helpless, and to set the captive free.
The Government has now the right,
under the Constitution, to wipe out from
our national escutcheon the stain of sla-
very and if it refuses, or if the factious
spirit, the bitter prejudice, or the cold
hearted selfshness of the people prevent
1t from doing SO, what right have we
either to expect or to ask God to give us
success in the field or TO endow us with
wisdom in council to defeat the machina-
tons of our enemies He fights in vain
who fights against an offended God, or
without the Lord on his side. His verv
victories are defeats. and his triumphs
are failures and death
He is thrice armed who hath his quar-.
rel just; and ours can hardly be called
Just II We are resolved not to use the vic.
tory we may win. to remove from our
midst that grossest outrage man can COM
init against humanity, negro slavery. We
own that even on moral and religious
grounds, we should fear that we had
taken no security for the future, if we suf-
fered slavery to be re-established any
where within the American Union. We
are not in the secrets of the Government,
but we are confident it has no intention
OF restoring any seeded State to the
Union as slaveholding State, or without
having given a Constitutional pledge to
abolish it.

British Influence at the Sandwich
Islands.

The New York Herald correspondent
in the Sandwich Islands, dating at Hon.
olulu on the eth Of August, writes that
the executive of that country had entered
on course of action decidedly hostile to
the interests of American traders and the
resident importers of goods from the East
ern States of the Union. This line of
policy resulted, it was thought, from Eng
lish promptings, as the British mission
aries and other emigrants, their country
men, were pushed or had forced them
selves into the leading places of power
and prof, under the crown. Government
had imposed duty of ten per cent. on
the nominal value of goods from the East
ern United States, inyoiced in the paper
currency Of the country. A meeting of
the parties interested was held in Homo
lulu on the Esd OF August for the purpose
OF submitting statement to the Minister
of Finance OF the kingdom on this subject.
Many cases of great hardship and loss
were cited. The American Protestant
clergymen were now required to take out
licenses for the performance of the cere.
moDy of marriage, and threats were made
to wrest their churches from them if they
refused to obey the order The United
States Minister has requested our govern
ment to dispatch man-of.war TO the
islands.
