Jfawitg iitfU. THE STORM. The gathering clouds obscure the sky, The trembling birds, to covert fly, The awe-struck herds forbear to rove, And stillness reigns throughout the grove. The mower drops his scythe, to flee To friendly cot, or sheltering tree; While Nature, In each varied form, In £Uent dread awaits the storm. Now flash to flash, with lurid glare, Succeeds, and lights the murky air; And hark! above, from pole to pole, The loud terrific thunders roll. Why shrinks my friend? Why pale with fear? Soy, dost thou feel that G«d is near! And thlnkest thou not, when warblers fill Thy bower, that He’s nigh thee still? In every flower that round thee blows- In every blade of grass which grows— In every glade which cheers thine eye— In every stream which ripples by— On every mount—4b every dale— In every wave—in every gale— A thousand tongues, through naturo a frame, A God, a present God, proclaim! And O If terror dim thine eye. When Summer storms pronounce Him nigh, How wilt thou meet that dreadful day . When heaven and earth shall melt away? Go to that blood whose cleansing flow Shall make thy bdsom pure as snow! That blood to him its aid who seeks, Tar better things than Abel's speaks. Then, then, thy soul, redeemed, forgiven, Beleased from sio, at peace with heaven # Shall mark, unmoved, e’en that dread fire, In which tea thousand orbs expire. AMY AND HER BROTHERS. [From this delightful story of an orphan fami ly, whose firm dependence on the God of the fa therless, combined with diligence and uprightness in business, carried them safely through the trials of their condition, we extract a few chapters for onr yonng readers. It is written by the author of the Blue Flag , from which we made some ex tracts about a month ago, and published by the American Tract Society, H. N. Thissell, agent, No. 929 Chestnut St.] THE OLD VISITOR. Little as Pickard Howe liked to get up in the morning, he Was not fond of being late at school. After lounging away the time when he should have been making his preparations, he ge nerally went of at last in a terrible flurry, leaving confusion and disorder behind him. Amy had gathered up the scattered books that Pick had thrown down in his hurried search for his geography) she had put his “ morning shoes” into the closet, and restored to its place the brush with which he had given the parting touches to his curly hair. The traces of Harriet's careless, reck less habits were even more in number, yet Amy had gone about patiently restoring order, without one unpleasant expression ruffling her counte nance, or one unkind thought marring the peace at her heart. The four rooms whioh the old-fashioned house contained, had been severally visited and made neat and tidy by her skilful hands. Weaiy in body, she laid down on the old couch, but not to spend even a few short minutes in idleness. The bland air of Indian summer was changing into the real keenness of autumn, and Amy well knew the little ones were unprepared for winter. An old cloth cloak of her father she thought would be quite an inexhaustible mine of material for clothing the boys, and as she lay, her busy hands were ripping away the worn collar, while from time to time her eye measured the ample folds of the precioua garment. She heard the outer-door open. It must be Willy returning from his mission. What news had he to tell? Her eager, questioning face turnod 'toward him, but she felt too weary to fol low her inclination to rise and meet him. She had not a moment for thought, when Willy and his companion entered. “ This is my sister Amy, Mr. Dimer,” said the boy. There was respect and affection in the tone; it it as plain that sister Amy was in Willy’s eyes worth seeing. “A lazy Miss Mying down to work,” thought the old man; but his face .changed suddenly as Amy rose, and with an evident effort moved acioss the room to hand the-stranger a chair. “Yon want to raise money on your father’s watch,” he began abruptly. “ How am I to know George Howe was your father ?” The family Bible lay on the table. What a treasure it had proved to Amy in her loneliness and anxiety! Now it was to serve a new purpose. Again Amy orossed the room, and the bid man’s faee softened as he noted the misfortune that had marred her person, but traced no mark of repining on her sweet face. Amy threw open the Bible at the family record. “You will read the history of our little family there,” she said, quietly. Mr. Dimer put on his speotaeles and took the Bible on bis knee; It was long since the Holy Book had lain open before him, that old dealer in money 1 There was a truth ju that simple record that could not bo doubted. Born, married, died; so short, so full of meaning, so complete was the bio graphical sketch of the parents, while the birth alone of the orphan children was registered; those childron who were now to struggle along life’s pathway side by side. There was something in that family history which seemed to touch the heart of the old man. It spoke to him of the shortness of human life; it whispered to him of pity for the orphan. “Amy, that’s you,” be said reading, then look ing fall into the young girl!s face. “ That’s my name,” said Amy, quietly. “Pickard! nonsense; what a name! Is that you?” he continued, turning to Willy. “I. am William, mentioned bolow,” said the boy, pointing out with his finger! the. date of his birth. “Yon. are not big of your age;” said the old man,.disapprovingly. . f • ■ “No; but I mean to do groat things,".said Will, with a smile. “Let me- see the watch," said the old* man, thoughtfully. ‘ Willy drew out the. treasure again, and placed it in Mr. Dimer’s hands. “Didn’t your father leave you any money?” said the old mao, auMJy. ..... “A little I hut tbSt Is Alp gone, and we have debts beside, which we want; to Ray with the loan,” said Willy, speaking up as the man of the family. “An’t you uneasy ? ; What do you expect to lhrevOM?' said the man, tproing/towardth Aroy.4 “You wouldn’t do much in the way of hard work,”, , “We.own the house. It was left to my father by ati old abut. So the children will have a home. Por the rest, I am sure the Lord will provide,” said Amy, simply; • . The pawnbroker looked through his spectacles into Amy’S sweet, placid face. The poor young stranger before him. had a jsecunty of which lie knew nothing. IBs, g ß ' nß might be taken from him by fife; ftbod, dishonesty, or oom morcial changes, but Amy's portion was sure. She bad an unfailing refuge in those words: »f The Lord will provide.?’ Mr.Pimer looked down. He bad .aocidentally turned with his elbow the page that contained the family record, and now the last of Matachi lay open before him. His eye Caught the words: '• For behold the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud—yen, and all that do Wickedly shall ba stubble, - atad the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch:" Like a swift arrow those words of denunciation seemed to pierce the heart of' the old man; bat taming from them he east his eye up the page and read: "And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in day when ~ I make up my jewels.” He shut the book suddenly. Had he not read of the two portions in store for himself and the helpless strangers before him? He would not think of it, he would not attend to the matter in hand. “ How much—how much” —he said, hesi tatingly—* 1 how much do you want to borrow on the watch ?” . :i “Twenty-five dollars,” said Will,.again acting as spokesman. Mr, Dimer took out a worn but well-filled pocket book. Five five-dullar notes he laid on the table. Willy’s eyes glistened, and he said joyously to his sister: “I knew the Lord would take care of us. Keep up heart, Amy." “I am, very inueh obliged to you, sir,” said Amy, Warmly. “I don’t do you any great favor/’ said the man. “You will have to pay me half-yearly for the;use of the‘money, and I have the watch for my secu rity. You chn have it back, you know, when you return the money.” , “ jjjay that be before a great while, said Willy, cheerily. Mr. Dimer rose to go. Childless and alone he had lived, gathering up this world’s goods,, but not . enjoying them. There was a charm to him in. those young trusting hearts. There was a message of poser to him from that old family Bible. ;. -Love on eartlhand a borne in heaven seemed hotter to him then, than all the gold of Ophir. The old man was gone; there-was no excuse for his lingering there. “O brother! I am so glad,” said Amy, as she took the bank-notes in her hand. The other arm she passed round Willy, and side by side-they knelt. That was a real thanksgiving, not a mere saying of heartless, unmeaning words. The God of the orphan was praised for all his mercies. The old stranger had a blessing called down on his unworthy head. Jo every world-worn Brian there is a human heart that craves a God to trust, a Christ to lean upon—an unsatisfied heart. This is hard to realize, and Amy would not have thought of seeking to give her faith to the man of loans and compound interest. Her calm trust had been better for him than a lengthy sermon. DARKNESS. It was a pleasure to walk along the lighted streets, and peep in at. the bright windows, but now he did not suffer himself to stop, even to linger at the print-shops, but went straight on bis course to Mr. Dimer's. He was out on business, and must not dilly-dally. Mr. Dimer was on the door-stop —could he be watching for him ? “ Here you are. I was just going to shut up. As it is, I’ve put out the gas in the front-shop; it was only wasting itself. Como in here,” said the old pawnbroker. The spot to which he led the way was not tempting, and a timid boy might have hesitated to enter, but Will was troubled with no such dif ficulties. A sort of back-shed had been shut in and plas tered; and here was plainly the old man’s abode. The small, narrow bed, the single old table, bear ing its one plate and cup and saucer, told of the home and habits of the pawnbroker. “Sit down, boy. May be you’d forget your half-year was up?” said the old man, keenly. “ I had, but sister Amy hadn’t. She knew the very day. She says it’s right to be exact about business matters,” said Will. “ Yes, that’s right, sure enough,” was the ap proving answer. “Twenty-five dollars, at seven per cent., for half a year, that is just eighty-seven and a half cents, as I make it,” said WilJ, laying the sum down on the table. The old man took hold df it eagerly, and then producing a quit-book, made a minute of the pay ment, and, at the same time, gave Will a receipt for the sum paid. The boy rose to go, but the old man detained him, saying: “Child, sit downr Are you afraid to stay a minute with an old man, who has no body to speak to, not when he’s aching to talk over some things he knows of?” “You must lead a lonely life,’’ said Will, kind ly, as he resumed his seat. “No matter about that, now!” was the short answer. “ Here’s what I want to see about—this flannel,” and the old man pointed to the roll in the corner, “this flannel, I say, is for the poor. Five dollars I paid for it; yet I am going to give it away. I want you to take-it to the ladies that taka in poor children, and train ’em up right. Their place is only two blocks off —that’s the right thing, take ’em young, before they get in bad ways. It’s not "easy learning old dogs new tricks! Will you do it, boy?” “That I will gladly.” Will Was again rising as he spoke, but with an impatient gesture, the old man motioned him to sit down —and then went on: “It’s for the poor, you see, but I want to do it on the sly; they say that’s the right way.- I han’t never been dishonest, exactly—-I han’t never received no goods as I knew was stolen; but somehow I feel as if I’d better be doin’ now, to wipe my old scores out.” “ l don’t quite understand yon, sir,” said Will, frankly. ■ “A body can’t live for ever 1 I’m almost worn out,” said the old man, quickly. “There was words in that big old book of yours that set me to thinkiu’ of that, pretty steady. You see I an't one of the ‘jewels;’ the ‘oven’ is more like for ihe, when my time comes. ‘And the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.’ ” These last words were spoken in low trembling tones that chilled Will’s young blood, and he was silent. “ Yes, boy,” Mr. Dimer continued, after a pause; “yeijthelike of me had better bo settlih’up, with Heaven. Five dollars the flannel cost me. ‘ You lake it to the ladies. They are doin’ the right thing—and, may be, I’ll get a share of the bless ing.” “Godforgives us freely, without our doing any thing; you know that, sir,” said Will,, modestly. “I don’t know any such thing! I don’t feel ii here!” said the old man, laying his hand on his heart. ■ “But Jesus suffered and died for us, that we might go free, and be happy with him in heaven,” said Will, earnestly. « What wouldn't I give to be- a 1 boy again, and take that in, just where *1 want it I It’s no use now! I’ve been sowin’ all my life, and the reap in’time is coming soon—it is here! 0, child! thank God that you’ve found him now! It’s bard work gropin’ after him with worn old wicked hands 1” r . - • “Jesus can help you,” said Will,affectionately;. “ 1 don’t know him 1 He don’t know mel I never fried to know him when I was young. He don’t want my poor old tagged-out life. I an’t worth anything for him now.” “ Have you ‘got a Bible, that tellsabout Jesus ?” said Will, earnestly.’ .... . “Yes, yes, I bought one, and opened it too. I read; ‘The wicked shall be* turned into' hell, and all the people that forget God/ There it was, plain as print. There’s nothing for me now, but just to do what I can'to make up, and may be get off easier for that.” Boor Will 1 teaching others was a new business for him- , How he, Ipngfed for sister Amy's sweet, wise, persuasive words, to comfort and guide the ain-siuk old man. “■Bead about Jesus, and you’ll' understand it nil then., Agk him to help you, and it will be all right by and by,” said Will. “Never 1 ! There’s nothing right for me! Go,boy, —go on your errand. Go, and be thankful you' are not like me, too old, too bad to take in the, best religion the Bible ever preached I Go!”* The last word was said imperatively, had Will hastened to obey. “ Round the cornet there, No. 75,” said the pawnbroker, in more softened tones, as he handed Will; the .roil of flannel. “Round tho comer there. • There’s no word to be left with it, only an old Sinner sends It, and says to the jadies, toachthe children right when they are.ybung." The door closed suddenly, and Will stood in the street. Ho delivered the message as if kaS/given to him, and then walked thoughtfnlly Homeward. and (Scneim (Bonplist. . «>Tis easier far, If we begin _ To serve the Lord betimM, For sinners who gro w onl 1 ",, ire hardened by their crimes - These lines Will badlearned lon S i ’ go ’ now they came to his mind m full force , trorn ■ST tart b. th»k.a Of U». b. b.d e.rij learned .0 I<™ Him .n.l «.r~e.dj that he might so live, that old age might fond him longing to go-to bis well-known Saviour, rather than groping after that Heavenly Friend, long for gotten and despised. THE BLIND MOTHERS LAST LOOK AT HER' BABE. On the last Sabbath of 1860, when the cold winds of December were wailing the dirge-song m the departing year, we met an infant. Not two summers had blessed the child. Disease came early, and quickly performed its fatal work. , , . Sweet words of Scripture were read, a short ex hortation made, aD earnest prayer offered, the bene diction pronounced; and then, after a moments silence, the friends were invited to ‘ take the last look at the deceased.' One and another came, and gazed with peculiar interest upon that beau tiful little form, which seemed as if it were only now all others plep aside, for the mother approaches. She is Mind—has never seen the child she loves, and now has lost Forward she leans; her form almost covers the little coffin. She seems straining her sightless eyes to catch a glimpse of the loved one, before it ,is taken.from her forever. But, as if convinced that this may not be, while the tears flow down her cheeks apace, she puts her fingers upon the fade of the child. Every feature is carefully felt—the forehead, eyes, nose, chin. Gently she passes both hands over the entire body wit hin her. reach. She grasps tenderly and tightly the little hands which lie clasped upon the breast of the babe. Kiss after kiss she im prints uponithose cold lips which she had So often kissed before, when they were warm with life; and then the niother, trembling, weeping, turns away. She has looTted at her offspring as the blind, only may. It was the last look, until the morn ing of the resurrection shall recall the dead to life again, and the omnipotent touch of God Ehall un seal the sightless orbs of His benighted children. Then may we hope that the'mother, redeemed by grace, Will behold her angel babe beside the Sa viour, and in that realm where darkness and death may never reign, will join with the sweet child in songs of everlasting praise!

Not only is the united republic destroyed if the re volution proves successful, bnte ven if the people of the Free States have the enthusiasm and sagacity to re construct their Union, and by a new National con vention tore-ordain and rc-establishthe time-honoured Constitution, still an immense territory is lost. Bat the extent of’that territory is not the principal-ele ment in the ditaster. The world is wide enough for all. It is the loss of the Southern marine frontier which is fatal to the Republic. Florida and the vast Louisiana territory purchased by the Union from fo reign countries, and garnished with fortresses at the expense of the Union, are fallen; with all these im provements, into the hands of a foreign and unfriend ly power, • Should the dire misfortune of a war with a great maritime notion, with England or France, for exam ple, befall the Union, its territory, hitherto almost impregnable, raight now be open to fleets and armies acting in alliance with a hostile “Confederacy,” which has become possessed of an important part of the Union’s maritime line of defence. Moreover the Union has 12,000 .chips numbering more than 5,000,- 000 tons, the far greater'partbf which belongs to the Free States, and the vast commerce of the Missis sippi and the Gulf of Mexico, requires and must re ceive: protection at every hazard. Is it strange that the Union shoold inake a vigor ous, just and lawful effort to save itself from the chaos from which the Constitution of 178? rescued the country? Who that has read and pondered the history of that dark period, does not shudder at the prospect of its return? A COMPARISON* But yesterday we were a State—the great republic —prosperous and powerful, with a flag known and over the world. Seventy years ago, we were a helplens league of bankrupt and lawless petty sovereigns. We had a currency so degraded that a leg of mutton was cheap at $l,OOO. The national debt, incurred in the war of independence, had hard ly a nominal value, and was considered worthless. The absence of law, order and security, for life and property, was as absolute as could be well conceived in a civilized land. Debts could not be collected, courts could enforce no decrees, — insurrections could not be suppressed. The army of the confede racy numbered eighty men. From this condition the Constitution rescued ns. The great law, reported by the general Convention ; of 1787, was ratified by the people of all the land voting in each State for a ratifying convention, chosen expressly for that purpose. It was promulgated in the name of the people: " We, the people of the United Slates, in order to form a more perfect Union, and to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves: and our posterity, do ordain and establish thie Con stitution.” It'was ratified by th'e people —not by the States, acting through their governments, legislative and executive, but by the, people, electing especial de legates within each State; and it is important to re member that in, none pf. these ratifying conventions was any reserve made of a State’s right to repeal the Union or to secede. .Many criticisms were offered in the various rati fying ordinances, many amendments suggested, but the.aeceptanceof the Constitution, the submission to the perpetual law, was in all cases, absolute. The language of Virginia, was most explicit on this point. “ The powers; granted . 'under,, the Constitution, being derived from (he people of the United States may he resumed bp them whenever the same shall he pervert ed to their injury or oppression.” That the. people of the United States; expressing their will solemnly in national convention, (ire competent to undo the .work of their ancestors, and are-tally justified in so doing ivheri the Constitution shall be' perverted to their injury and oppression, there is no man in the land that doubts. This course has been already in dicated as the only peaceful revolution possible, but such a proceeding is very different from the seces sion ordinance of a single State resuming its sove reignty .of “own free ' Will,' and' without ‘consulta tion with the rest of the inhabitants of the country. “ There was no reservation.,,(says justice Story) of any right on the part of- any State to dissolve its connection, or-to abrogate its assent, or to suspend the operations of the. Constitution as to itself.” order OUT OF CHAOS. -And tons, when-the ratifications had-been made,- a .new commonwealth took; its place, among, the na tions of the earth. The effects of the new Constitu tion'were'almosf magical. Order sprang out ofeha os. Law resumed its reign; debts were Collected; life and property became secure; the national debt, was, funded; and.ultimately paid, principal and inte rest, to the uttermost farthing; the articles of the treaty of peace in 1783 were fulfilled,* and Great Bri tain, having an organized and united State to deal with; entqrjed t^nUy 1 •with*us—the first' an’d'the best'’ever negotiated tween tbe*two nations. Not ’ the least noble of its articles (the 21st), provided- thitt -the acceptance 1 by the citizens “’subjects hr 'country of fdreign letters of marque, should , be punished, as, piracy. Unfortunately.,,, that article- and several others, were limited- to twelver years, and* were not subsequently renewed. 1 * The debts due to British subjects were colleatefll antt’lheFKiitisli; Government at last surrendered the forts; onour. soil. „* -. . , * THE STATE OF THE NATION., At last we were a nation, with a flag; respected abtoafl and alhtost idolized, at; home as the^syn>i>pl of npon.aj career of prosperity and progress, never- surpassed in! history. The autonoroyufeuch State, according to which its domestic and interior* affairs are sobjeet tb the domestic legislatureandexeeutivevwas secured by the reservation to each State of pokers, not; e?.-; pressly granted to the Union by the Constitution,: Supreme within its own orbit, which.is tracedfrom. the same centre of popular power whence the wider, circumference of the generalgovefriment is described, the individeal state is aurrounded on all sides by that all embracing circle. The reserved and unnamed; powers are. many, but, ,th,e. Step?, is. .cjosely., clreumj! scribed. Thus, a, State is forbidden .to alter its form. of government. ..“Thou sbaltforever remain a re public,” says the United States ConstitutiOnto eaclh individual State., A'Stele ieforbidden, abovealf to puss'ariy law conflicting with the United-States Con stitution or Laws. Moreover, overy member of Coo- gress, every member of a State Legislature, every executive or judicial officer in the service of the Union or of a separate Suite, is bound by solemn oath to maintain the United States Constitution. This alone would seem to settle the question of secession ordinances. So long SB the Constitution endures, such an ordinance is merely the act of conspiring and combining individuals; with whom the general government may deal. When itfalls-in the struggle, and becomes powerless to cope with them, the Con stitution has been destroyed by violence. Peaceful acquiescence in such comUnalions ts perjury and trea son on the part of the CkUf ‘Magistrate of the country, for which he may be impeached and executed. Yet men speak of -Mr, Lincoln as having plunged ,info a wicked war. : They censure him for .not negotiating with envoys who came potato settle the grievances, but to demand, recognition of the dismemberment of the republic which ; ‘ip had jpst sworn tp mam tain. . * RELATIVE POWERS OF THB STATS AND FEDERAL GOVERN- ' KENTS.' "■■■. It is true that the ord nary daily and petty affairs of men eome more immidiately than larger ,matters under the cognizance if the State Governments, tending thus to foster lo sal patriotism smd lpcal .al legiance. At the same i ime, as all controversies be tween citizens of different States comp within the sphere of the Federal Courts, and as the manifold and conflicting, currents-of so rapid a national life as the American can rarely be confined within narrow geographical boundaries, it follows that the Federal courts, even for domestic purpose? ap well as foreign, are parts of the daily, visible functions of the body politic. The Union is omnipresent. The customs house, the court-house, the arsenal, the village post office, the muskets of the militia, make the authority of the General Government a constant foot. More over, the restless, migratory character of the popu lation, whioh rarely permits all the members of one family to remain denizens* of any one State, has in terlaced the States witfoeach other, and all.yrith the Union, to such anextetrt-thflfc a painless excision of; a portion of the whole nationis an impossibility. To rent away the pound of flesh and draw no drop of blood surpasses human ingenuity. THE DOCTRINE OF SECESSION A NEW ONE. Neither the opponents nor friends of the new vernment, in the first generation after its, establish ment held the doctrine of secession. _ The States Rights party and the Federal, party disliked or che rished the government because of the general con viction that it was a constituted an,d centralized au thority, permanent and indivisible, like" that of, any other organized nation. Each party continued to fa vor or to oppose a strict construction of the instru ment; but the doctrine of nullification-end secession was a plant of later growth. It was an accepted fact that the United States was not a confederacy. That word was never need in the Constitution except once by way- of prohibition. We were a nation, not,a copartnership, except, indeed, in the larger sense in which every nation may be considered a .copartner ship—a copartnership of the, present with the past and with the future. To borrow- the lofty language of Burke: • ■ “ A State ought not to be considered os nothing better than a partnership agreement in a trade on pepper and coffee, calico or tobacco, or ; some other such low concern, to be'taken np for a little tempo rary interest, and to be dissolved by the fancy of the parties. It is to be looked npon with other reve rence, because it is noti#partnersbip iatbings sub servient only to. gross animal existence of a tem porary perishable nature. It is a partnership i.n all science; a partnership in all art, a partnership, in every virtue and in all perfection, a-partnership, not only between those who are living, but between those who are dead, and those who are to be born.” And the simple phrase of the preajnble to our Con stitution is almost as pregnant—“ To _ sepure the blessings of liberty to ns and our posterity." HOW THE REBELLION GREW. But as the innumerable woes of disunion out of which we had been rescued by the,Constitution began to fade into the past, the allegiance to .the Union, in certain regions of the country, seemed rapidly to di minish. It was reserved to the subtle genius of Mr. Calhoun, one of the most logical, brilliant and per suasive orators that, ever lived, to embody once mere, in a set of sounding sophisms, the main arguments which had- been unsuccessfully used in a former ge neration to prevent the adoption of the Constitution, and to;exhibit them now as legitimate deductions from the Constitution, The memorable tariff .contro versy was the occasion - -in which the argument of State sovereignty was put forth in all its strength.' In regard to the dispute .itself, there can be no doubt that the South was in the right and the North in the i wrong. The production-by ah exaggerated tariff of a revenue so-much over rad above the wants of go vernment, that it.was at last divided among the se parate States, and foolishly squandered,-was the most triumphant r s eduetki. ad: absprdum' that -the South could have desired. Bat it is nonetheless true that f the nullification by a State Legislature of a Federal law was a greater injury to the whole nation than a foolish tariff, long since -repealed, hud inflicted.. It was a stab to the Union in its vital part. The blow was partially parried, but it may be doubted whether the wound has ever healed. ; WHAT SUCCESSFUL SECESSION WOULD ACCOMPLISH. Tariffs, the protective System, free trade—although the merits of these questions must be considered ns settled by sound thinkers in all civilizedg lands, must, nevertheless, remain in some countries the subjects of honest argument and legitimate controversy. When all parts of a country- are'represented—and especially in the case of the United States, where the Southern portion has three-fifths of a certain kind of “ property "represented, while the North has no pro perty represented—reason should contend with error for victory, trusting to its innate-strength. And un til after the secession of the Gulf States, the mode rate tariff of 1857 wnsih operation, with no possibi lity of its. repeal. Moreover, the advocates of the enlightened system‘off free trade should reflect that Bhdtold the fourteen* Slave States become perma nently united in av separate confederacythe state of their ’internal affairs soon show a remarknble revolution. The absence of the fugitive slave law will necessarily drive all the slaves from what arc called the-border States; and hemusfc be a shallow politician who,dreams here in England that-free trade swith ali the world, and direct taxation for re venue, will lie the, policy of the new and expensive military empire which..will-arise... Manufacturers of cotton and woolen will spring up on every river and mountain stream in the Northern: slave States, the vast mineral wealth of their territories will require development, and the cry for protection to native in dustry in one quarter will be as surely heeded as will be that other cry from the Gulf of Mexico, now partially suppressed, for obvious reasons, for the African slave trade,. To establish a great Gulf em pire,.including Mexico, Central America, Cuba, and other islands, with unlimited cotton fields and unli mited negroes, this is the golden; vision, ip pursuit of which, the great Republic has been sacrificed, the beneficent Constitution' subverted. And. already the, vision has fled, but the work of destruction remains. THE TARIFF QUESTION.

It is, conceded by the North that it bas received from the Union innnmerable blessings. But it would seem that the Union had also conferred benefits in the South. It has harried its mails at. a large ex pense.’ It has reoaptured its fiigitive&lhves.. It has purchased vast trpets of foreign territory,, out of which a whole tier qf'slave states has been construct ed.. It has annexed-Texas.; -It has made war with Mexico,; It has tnqde nn offer—uot likely to. be; re peated, however—purchase :Cubn, with its multi tude .of slaves,, at'4.’price, according .to report; as large as.the sum piid by Bpglandjfor tbe emancipa tion of her slaves, i: Individuals in the Free States: have expressed tbeihselves freely on slavery, as upon every topic of buminitbought. and this must ever be the case where there is freedom of tbeipress androf Speech: The numb'er-of professed- Abolitionists has hitherto been: very small, while the: great body of the two principal political parties in the Free States have been strongly opposed to them. The Republi can partywasdetermined to set bounds. to the ex tension.of slavery, while the Democratic-party fa, vored -that; system,«bnts«e!tbris-bad; or avowed, against slavery .within the States. They, khew,that the question could only belegally and ration, ally, dealt .with byithe. States themselves. .But both the; parties,-as, present events are -sp signally demon-, strating, were imbued with a passionate: attachment to the Constitution—to the established authority of - government,..by .which alone our laws and our li . berty are secured. , All parties in the Free States are now united as one man, inspired by a noble and generous .emotion to vindicate the Bullied honor of their flag, and to save their country from the abyss of perdition into which it seemed descending. Of the ultimate result we have no intention .of speaking.. Only the presumptuous will venture to lift the veil and affect to read with accuracy coming events —-the most momentous, perhaps, of our times. One result is, however, secured. The Montgomery Constitution, with'slavery for its corner-stone,isnot likely to be accepted, as but lately seemed possible, not only by all the Slaye States, but even bythe bor der Free States; nor to -be .proclaimed from -Wash ington as the new national law, iu the name of the United States. : Cotnprpmise will no longer, be of fered by peace conventions in which slavery is to be made national, negroes declared property over all tb.e land, arid slavery extended over all Territories how possessed, or hereafter to be acquired. Nor is the United States Government yet driven .from Wash ington, ' Events are rapidly unrolling themselves, and it will be proved in course of time whether the North will remain united in its inflexible purpose, whether the South is as firmly united, or whether a counter revolution will be effected in either section, which must necessarily give the victory to its opponents. We know nothing of the schemes or plans of either Government. The original design of the Republican party was to put an end to the perpetual policy of slavery ex tension and acquisition of foreign territory for that purpose, and at the same time to maintain the Con stitution and the integrity of the Republic. This_ at the South seemed an outrage which justified civil war; for events have amply proved what' sagacious statesmen prophesied thirty years ago—■that seeession is civil war. If alias to end in negotiation.and separation, not withstanding, the almost,' interminable .disputes con-' cerning- frontiers, the strongholds-in the Gulf and the unshackled navigation of the great rivers through ont; their: whole length—which |g probable—will never bp abandoned by the North, except as the re sult of defeat on the field, it is .at any rate certain that both -parties will negotiate more equilahlywith arms in their hands than if the unarmed of either section were to deal with the armed. If it oomes to permanent separation, tpo.Jt is certain that, in the Commonwealth which will still glory in the name.of the United States, and whose people will, doubtless, re-establish the old Constitution with some important amendments, the ward secession will be a sound: oj woe not to be lightly uttered. It wiil have been proved to designate, not a peaceful and natural function of political life, but to be only Another expression for revolution, bloodshed, and all the horrors of civil war.. ' It is probable that a long of years will be run and many inconveniences and grievances endured, before any one of the Free Stateß: secedes from the reconstructed Union. J. L. M.

They are seldom'free from them, and by their irritation all other diseases are aggravated. Convulsions, asweil as St. Vitus’ Dance, have been superinduced by them, and death has resulted in extreme cases. 1 Whenever the symptoms are observed, such as disturbed sleep, grinding of the tee>h, itching of the nose, weakness of the bowels, slow fever, variable appetite and fetid breath, JAYNE’S TONIC VERMIFUGE should; be resorted to without delay. It is entirely; harmless, is readily taken by children, effectually de stroys, worms, and by its tonic action invigorates the whole system, it is prepared only by Hit. 11. Jayne & Son, 343 Chestnut St., Philadelphia. COUGHS, COLDS, PONSUMPTIOH, Asthma, Bronchitis, &e. JAYNE’S EXPECTORANT been for thirty years the Standard Remedy. will be admitted that no better evidence of the great .orative powers ol this EXPECTORANT can be offered than the grateful, testimony of those who have been re stored to health by its use, and the wide-spreadypopu larity which, for so long a period, it has maintained in : the face of all competition, and which has created a con stantly increased demand for it in all partsof the world. As far as possible, this evidence is laid before the public from time to time, until the most skeptical will ac knowledge that for all pulmonary complaints, it is truly an invaluable remedy. RECENT COUGHS AND COLDS, PLEURITIC PAINS, &c., are quickly and effectually cured by its dia phoretic, soothing am! expectorant power. ASTHMA it.always cures. It overcomes the spasmo dic contraction of the air vessels,and by producing free expectoration, at once removesall difficulty of breathing. ’ ‘BRONCHITIS readily yields to the Expectorant. It subdues the inflammation which extends through tlie wind tubes, produces free expectoration, and suppresses at once the cough and pain. CONSUMPTION.—For this insidious and fatal disease, no remedy on earth has ever been found so effectual. It subdues the inflammation, —relieves the cough and pain,—removes the difficulty of breathing and produces an easy expectoration, whereby all irritating and ob structing matters are removed from the lungs. WHOOPING COUGH is promptly relieved by this Ex pectorant.' It shortens the duration of the disease one half, and greatly mitigates the suffering of the patient. In all PULMONARY COMPLAINTS, in CROUP, PLEURISY, &e., it will be found to be prompt, safe, pleasant and reliable, and may be especially commended to Ministers, Teachers ami Singers, for the relief of Hoarseness, and for strengthening the organs of the voice. Head the Following Statement: REV. RUFUS BABCOCK, D. D., Secretary of the American and Foreign Bible Society, writes: — “ Having given Dr. D. Jayne’s medicines a trial in my own.femily,'and some of them personally, Ido not hesi tate to commend them as a valuable addition to our materia medico. The EXPECTORANT especially I con sider of inestimable value, and I know that it is highly esteemed, and frequently prescribed by some of the not respectable of the regular practitioners of medicine.” Rev. B. V. R. James, Missionary in Liberia of the Pres, Board of Foreign Missions, writes:— “Your EXPECTORANT has been administered with the most happy results, and I feet assured I never used an article of medicine that produced a more sure and certain relief for the complaints for which it is recom mended.” Rev. John Dowling, D. D., Pastor of the Berean Bap tist Church, N. Y., writes:— “t have long known the virtues of your EXPECTO RANT, and frequently tested them on myself and family, when afflicted with coughs or colds, I believe it to be one of the best remedies ever discovered for these mala dies.” Rev. N. M. Jones, Rector of Church of St. Bartholo mew, (Prot. Epis.,) Fhilada-, writes: — “In all cases resembling Consumption, I recommend your .EXPECTORANT, having in so many cases wit nessed its beneficial effects.” Rev. J. J. Walsh, Missionary of the Presbyterian Board at Futtegurh, Northern India, writes:— « Your EXPECTORANT was the means, under Provi dence, of curing a case of incipient consumption, which had been pronounced incurable by competent medical men.” Rev. Jonathan Going, D. D., while President of Granville College, Ohio, wrote:— ,«■ While laboring under a severe Cold, Cough, and Hoarseness, my difficulty of breathing became so great that X felt in imminent danger of suffocation, but was perfectly cured on using Dr. D. Jayne’s EXPECTO RANT.” Mrs* Mart Ball, of the Protestant Episcopal Mission, Cape Palmas, West Africa, says “ In onr mission femilies your medicines are a general specific, and among the sick poor they enabled me to do much good. Your EXPECTORANT has proved of great’value in the case of Rev. Jacob Rambo, and in that also of Rev. Mr. Green, two of our missionaries.” E v, c. L.'Fisheb, formerly pastor of the Dell Prai rie Wis. Baptist Church, writes:— “ A little daughter of mine, aged seven years, had been afflicted for some time with Asthma and Palpita tion of the heart, and having tried various remedies without relief. I was persuaded to get your EXPEC TORANT and SANATIVE PILLS, and after using them she was rcstoiod to a good degree of health.’’ REV. SAMUEL S. DAV, Missionary of the Baptist Board, at Nellore, India, W ites "it ßy the use of your Expectorant my Cough and Sore Throat are now well. I find, occasionally, an uh- Sleasant sensation in my throat, as if mucus had lodged lere, but your Expectorant usually relieves it by two or three applications.” REV- J. R. COFFMAN, of Winfield, Tuscarawas co., Ohio, writes “One bottle of Jayne’s Expectorant, cured my daughter of Long Fever, after having been beyomi the hope of recovery. .’During the attaclr she had a-number, of convulsions. She is now. perfectly well.” This Expectorant, and allot Jayne's Fawilt Medi cines, are prepared only by Dr. D.

THOUGH THE remote or primary causes of’SKIN DISEASE may be various, as IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD, LIVER COMPLAINT, SCROFULA, &c., Ac., yet the immediate cause is always the same, and that is an. obstruction in the pores of the 3 skin, by Which the perspiration, in its passage from, the body,;is arrested and. confined in and under tbe skin; causing an intolerable itching, or an eruption of Pimples, Pustules, Ringworm, Vetter, Salt Rheum, &e., Ac. For all these affections, JAY NB’S ALTERATIVE hgsbeen: found an invaluable remedy, as it removes both the primary'as well as the immediate causes—purifying the'Blood, curing the Liver Complaint, and effectually eradicating Scrofula from the system, while, at,the same time, it frees the pore,, -if their obstructing matters, and heals the diseased surface.
