Strange Regard for the Constitution

Strange Regard for the Constitution.
II is Goldsmith, we think, who tells
the story of the two men on London
bridge, who discussed the probability of
q French Invasion. The one was a
porter sweating under his heavy load,
and the other a soldier, most likely fresh
from some scene of debauchery or blood
at they should come" said the porter,
"they will make us work like horses -
TO which The soldier added Yes aud
then 10 think of our holy religion" The
troubles Of mind suffered by this worthy
couple are paralleled by those of the
editor of the Richmond Enquirer, who
has been thrown into deep distress by
Mr. Lincoln's shameful disregard of the
provisions of the Federal Constitution.
He is discussing the subject of the
proclamation, aud he says:
"When il is remembered that the man
who signs his name beneath il has sworn,
by the most solemn OF human oaths, TO
maintain, enforce and obey that Consti.
tuition which guarantees the present re-
lation of master and slave in the most
express terms that he has been educa-
ted like every other American, 10 q full
sense Of its obligation on every citizen
of the country; that vast powers have
been entrusted to his hands for the ex =
press purpose Of defending every letter
in that Constitution when we Temem-
Der these things, aud here see a Presi :
dent of the United States flying in the
face of that oath, proclaiming the ami
hilation Of that Constitution, aud using
the forces confded to him for its de-.
struciion, the exaggerated enormity Of
such a perjury is calculated TO shock the
most hardened"
Poor fellow how he must suffer.
When tits remembered, to use this vir-
tuous writer's phrase, that the Governor
Of every State now in secession had
sworn by the "most solemn oaths to
maintain, enforce and obey the Constitu-
tom" when it is remembered that every
ofice-holder of the Confederate Govern.
ment, from Jefferson Dsvis down 10 BEN
jauin, had, either as Senator or Member
OF the House Of Representatives, taken
the "most solemn oaths TO maintain, en-
force and obey the Constitution whom
IL il remembered that every officer OF the
| Confederate army or navy, who had re =
ceived his West Point education at the
expense OF the nation, had taken the
"most solemn oaths to maintain, enforce
and obey the Constitution" aud, in ad di-
ton TO general obligation 10 that effect,
had sworn by a special oath never TO
take up arms against the United States
we must confess, with the conscienti-
Gus writer in the Enquirer, that the en-
ormity Of the perjury is calculated to
shock tho most hardened nature.-M T.

pietY and Taxes.

The Keener and several Of US were on
our way 10 q military muster, or some
other public doings not now particularly
recollected. When we came in sight Of
Mrs McG---'s house, the Keener said
he reckoned il would. be good time TO
call aud collect the widows taxes-"he'd
be derncd il she had paid anything for
tho year before" He asked us TO wait al
the road, about one hundred yards from
the house, until be proceeded 10 get his
taxes. We agreed 10 do so.
She was one fall in the religious vein.
She had been TO . Camp-meeting, and her
feelings on the subject Of saving souls
had taken their coloring from some young,
ardent, and impuisive preacher she had
been listening 20. II is likely there was
a sort OF admixture OF worldly man and
woman love, and love of souls, so jumbled
IL would have taken six bachelors to have
told which il was. So 1t was the relig-
ious sign was uppermest, IS this verila-
Bile history proceeds 10 show at the time
we mention Utk4 a-
The Keener went TO the house, and IL
was not long until the words of exhorta-
ton could be heard with an admixture
of the terrOrs Of the law TO sinners. AS
nigh as we could make It out from what
we heard. and what we could get out of
the Keener, when he got from under her
power, she proceeded in about this wise :
When asked for the taxes, and the
keener was giving his request the en-
forcing and persuasive accomplishments
of his flourish with his right arm, and
that the Commonwealth must not wait
for taxes (like old nan Tablets mail
stage, il could not wait for passengers,
&.'.,) Mrs. McG.--- broke loose upon
him: Isaac" said she, "you are one
of the hard hearted men we read of in
the Scriptures. You want 20 reap where
you don't sow-gather taxes from Wild
ows and orphans. Isaac do you never
think Of your Immortal soul, and the
necessity of its salvation? / know you
never pray. No, you never pray Isaac,
get down and pray this minute, for fear
You may nfver have another chance.
Isacce :! Oh! Isaac maybe you don't
known how TO pray. Get down upon
your knees this minute, and will pray
for you"
Partly by command, and partly by
pushirE, she brought him down, and, as
the boys used 10 say, she "spreAd her
SELF She painted him in such rough
colors, il the devil had come along just
then be wou d not have known his own.
All things must have an end, and so
had The widows prayer over Isaac. He
did not wait for the amen twice, but
came bulging out as if old Sombo was
after him sure enough. He mounted, and
put whip TO his horse until clear ont of
the widows reach. As we made the turn
of the road we heard her voice in high
toned notes ringing out the strain
"Iiers I'll raise my gbenezcr,
Hither by thy help come;
And hope BY thy good pleasure,
safely 10 arrive at home
The Kssss.. drew q long breath when
he saw she was not pursuing, aud said /:
"I'll be derned if the old man mayn't
collect her taxes himself" - Frankfort
