APPEAL 10 the Keuth.

You are all willing to conc0de nov
that the political philosophy Of John G.
Calhoun was based on error and per-
meatcd with error from bottom to top.
You know now that slavery was bad
alike for white and black, and you are
glad that the attempt TO make it the
cornerstone Of . nations existence
proved an utter failure, But you are
making q big and perilons : mistake
when you try 70 ethonest government
by fraudulent methods, and 70 main
tain free institutions by fraud and vio-
lence. II won't do. As freedom and
slavery couldn't co-exist, 60 can not
honest government and fraud at the
ballot-box. The two things are ir-
reconcilable.
You don't want TO be governed by
the negroesf You needn't b. afraid OF
that. Your better education, the Gull
tivated quality Of your brains, your
inherited capacity for leadership, will
keepyou ct the top. But for heavens
sake undo the terrible blunder you are
making. Accept the Constitution as it
is, and 70 TO It that every legal citi-
zen. no matter what his color, IL al
lowed to enjoy all the rights to which
the Constitution entities him.-Br0ok-

How q C~onnecticut Tailor Was Cured OF
Prophetic Revelations.

A tailor in Connecticut, some years
ago, living near q certain minister took
it into his head that he was especially
and divinely inspired to interpret the
prophecies, and especially the Book of
Revelations. Quitting his work he
turned prophet, until his customers had
all left him and his family were likely
to perish.
His monomania was we'll known to
the minister, who be~nevolently watch
ed for some convenient opportunity to
turn the current of his thoughts. One
night the tailor, rs he fancied. had q
revelation that the minister greatly
needed him, and the next morning
early he started for the parsonage.
The minister, whose study was fur
nished with . glass door, saw the tailor
coming and instantly surmised the ma
ture of his errand. Throwing himself
into an attitude of solemnity, with his
eyes fixed on the tenth chapter Of Rev
Citations, he awaited his approach.
The door opened and the tailor an
nounced in his unearthly voice the
message:
"Parson Jones, I am sent by the Al
mighty to you To-"
Come in, my friend" said the min
lister. II am in great trouble, and no
doubt the Lord has sent you to help
me out Of my difficulty"
This unexpected welcome inspired
the tailor, strengthened greatly his as
surance in his own prophetic character
and disposed him to listen to the dis
closure.
my friend" said the minister, Il
have just been reading the tenth chap
ter Of Revelation and am greatly dis
tressed with : difficulty / have met
with, and you are the very man to help
me out. Here is the account Of an an
gel that came down from heaven who
was SO large that he put one foot on
the sea and the other on the earth and
lifted mp his hand to heaven. Now my
knowledge of mathematics enables me
to calculate exactly the size aud form
of the angel, but / wish to know how
much cloth it will take to make him q
pair Of breaches, and - that is in your
line Of business, I have no doubt the
Lord has sent you TO show me-"
This sudden exposition came like an
electric shock TO the roor tailor. He
rushed from the house, ran to his shop,
and . quick revulsion Of thought and
feeling came over him. Making
breeches WAS exactly in his limo Of
