Tanning the Sectional
Flame.

Ex-Gov. Chamberlain and
Sunstroke Blaine made speech
cs before meeting of Repub-
lican opponents to IIaycs's
southern policy, at Woodstock,
Conn, on the 4th inst. Their
policy is eternal war upon the
South by trying TO frightcn pco-
pile at an imagined danger Of
southern men i'll power. Blaine
concludes his speech as follows:
The consolidated strength of
the sixteen states that were late
" slayeholding is a tremendous
political force, cmbodying al
most one half the senate of the
United States, more than one
third Of the house Of represent
tativcs, and almost two-filths
pf the aggregate electoral col
lcgc. This entire element is
controlled by a small! minority
OF the people OF those States;
it will be welded in the future
with the unity Of an insolent
despotism, and it aims at perma-
ncnt domination in the govern
nent of the country. Let us
look the future squarely in the
face, prepare for the danger in
season, and avert it if possible.
l take my position without hes
ilation, without distrust, with
out acrimony, and without con-
ccalment. | believe that south
crn control in the government
Of the Union is the worst pos
sible result even for the south.
| believe that it is menacing
and dangerous to every interest
in the land. l believe that the
men who in battle and in coun-
Gil saved the Union should gov
crn it. I believe that the men
who for years sought the life Of
the nation should not be entrus-
led with IFS supreme control. l
believe that the heresy Of the
citizens primary allegiance be-
ing due to his State-a heresy
which has already wrought SO
much misery and shed SO much
innocent blood-should be con-
fined to the States that cherish
it, and not permitted to install
itself in the government Of the
nation; and, finally, | believe
that any policy which contem-
plates or by any possibility IN
wolves the annexation Of Next
can territory, or any other adj
dition to the disturbed elements
of the south, is at war with the
highest interests of everysA-
merican citizen of the genera
ton that now is and of the
countless generations that, in
the providence of God, shall
succeed TO our proud title and
to its continually widening re-
sponsibilities.

~ Another Life Insurance

" Another Life Insurance
crash! The Universal Life, of
New York, established lii 1865,
shows a deficit, as regards poll
cy holders, of 05,413.05.
The Guardian Mutual and the
North America go down, we
presume, with the Universal,
which had practically absorbed
them. After reading the report
few will disagree with these
words of the Superintendent:
"The whole management and
conduct of the Universal Life
Insurance Company and the va
rious companies named, have
been utterly reckless, and al
most, if not entirely, criminal"
lie adds that cat first sight it
might seem to an ordinary OBJ
server that the whole system of
life insurance would be shat
tered, if not utterly destroyed,
under the repeated blows it has
already received from discovc-
ries and exposures of wrong
doing at the hand of those whose
solemn duty it was to watch O.
yer the trusts committed to their
hands"
