Onr Country—Its Destiny.
When the mariner has been tossed for many
days in thick weather, and in an unknown gea, he
naturally avails himself of the first ‘pause of the
storm, the earliest glance of the sun, to take
his latitude, and ascertain how far the eleme nts
have driven him from hie true courss. Let us im-
itate this prudence, and, befors we float further,
refer to the point from which we departed, that
we may at least conjecture where we now are.—
Webster.
‘The great ship of State hasbeen for many
days tossed to and fro upon the fearful waves
of fanaticism and secession, the ;storm has
gathered and thickened around until the dark
clouds, containing the pent up storm, have
lowered and seem ready to burst and pour
forth the raging elements in all their relent
less fury. Let us, as members of her crew,
imitate the example of the mariner, reet our
sails, take our soundings, and place every-
thing on board in order, that we may with-
stand the fearful] shockfand weather the
storm, that when it has spent its fury and a
clear sky once more illuminates our pathway
we may, without the loss of rudder or mast,
8ail on forever on the clear and placid waters
of eternal peace. But, unlike the storm that
wrecks the hardy n.ariner upon the reef-
bound coast, that which has gathered around
us and already begins to roll the waters up
on which we sail "fearful billows, is but
the result of human agency, and it is in this
fact there still shines forth a gleam of hope.
The power that creates can unmake, the
power that does canjundo and it but remains
for our unconscious crew to awaken from
their slumbers, behold the dangers that sur-
round them, and thus awakened, speak the
words, *‘ peace be still,” unto the troubled
waters and all will be safe. We commenced
our career as onc of the nations of the
earth but eighty five years ago. The auspi-
ces then surrounding us were anything but
fimtering. A few pilgrims in an unexplored
wilderness, i: the face of a frown-
ing and despotic world, the great truth that
man was capable of self-government. The
monarchs of the old world looked down
from their high places and scoffed at the
“‘idea ” that our ancestors had caught up
from the decaying ruins of the mighty Gre-
cian and Rowan empires, where the *¢ great
idea 7 first rose above the mere improbabil-
ity of an abstraction into a clear and undis-
puted possibility. Yet the Republics of
Greece and Rome fell far short of a full
demonstration of the ability of man to gov-
ern himself, because the one in four and the
other in six hundred years toppled over, and
anarchy and confusion consumed the life-
blood of liberty, proving that the first exper-
iment, at least, was a failure. It was with
this unfortunate example befor: us that we
launched our tiny boat upon the then but
partially explored sca of Republican govern.
ment. The despotic vampires who live upon
the life-blood of the toiling millions of the
old world looked upon us as but the reflected
shadows of the then expired Greece, and
system of government was but barely estab-
lished before it had won the affections of the
oppressed of the world, and they flocked to
our shores like sheep to the fold of the good
shepherd. Education hts taken a rapid
flight across our vast empire, scattering the
seeds of knowledge until we can now boast
of being the most enlightened and intelli-
gent people the world ever saw. The intel-
lect of the American people, aided by the
light of education, has been enabled to delve
deeper into the unfathomable mines of sci-
ence and has revealed her hidden treasures,
philosophic and scientific principles have
been made plain which, since the world be-
gan until our day, remained obscure and
incomprehensible to the mind of man, but
exposed to the effulgent light of truth and
knowledge they now form a system, based
upon which, in future generations will stand
a fabric wonderful in its power and aston.
ishing in its explanation of the hidden prin-
ciples of God’s creation. Is it strange that
we have grown to be a mighty nation? We
have enticed to our country the subjects of
many a despot, who have swelled our num-
bers to many milllons. We have loosed the
chains of bondage of many a white foreign
slave and made him a sovereign, placed him
in a land of liberty and spake unto him,
man enjoy the liberty thy God designed thou
shouldst have —govern thyself, Europe has
become jealous of us for this and has sought
our destruction. Hypocritical England has
been formest in the race to undermine our
liberal government. Her opinion, after the
Revolution, was soon changed when she be-
held our astonishing prosperity. She sought
and obtained a quarrel with us in 1812, hop-
ing thereby to not only mp our prosperity
in the bud but to utterly annihilate us as
one of the nations of the earth by a stroke
from the strong arm of her military power.
She failed in tins. and signally failed, to her
bitter disappointment. She found, to her
sorrow, that the love of liberty was too
deeply rooted in the American heart to
allow it, at that early day, to be torn to
pieces, so she gave up the contest, and from
that day adopted a different policy towards
us. Her shrewd statesmen saw that african
slavery existed in a portion of our Union.—
That the vast extent of our territory made
many diversified interests, and she seized
upon this idea at once, and set her mimons
at work to bring those conflicting interests
mto collision. The slavery question was a
good theme for her upon which to commence
opperations, and now we behold her work.
Her emmissaries have preached and instilled
abolitionism into the minds of the northern
people. She has aided, by money emigrant
societies and underground railroads and by
these means through incessant years of toil
she has succeeded in alienating the affections
of our people. On the other hand her cotton
merchants and southern tradesmen have
beer busy in the south. They have pointed
out to the southern people the growth of
abolition in the north, and taught them that
secession was the only remedy to prevent
the encroachments of abolitionism, and the
many horrors consequent upon emancipation.
Thus she has created an irrepressible con-
flict. first war of ideas and opinions which
she well knew must eventually end ia the
clash of arms, and then she would stand
aloof and see us tear ourselves to pieces.—
Well she has succeeded so far, and how well
she carried out her programe. She has sud-
to aid the Southern States in their part of
the play, and why ? Not because she believes
the doctrine of secession right ; not beeanse
she is for them and wishes them to succeed :
not at all, but because she sees that they
are the weaker party, and she will, under
the pretext of protecting her own interest in
getting cotton, open their ports and thus
place them upov a fighting equality with
ourselves, so that the war may wage until
we literally annihilate ourselves and obliter-
ate our fair government, which she hates,
from the face of the earth. Here, then, we
now are, both north and South, carrying out
the British programme to accomplish our
own destruction. A set of fanatic men com-

The Cincinnati Enquirer says the above,
which we take from a leading Republican
paper is a good commentary upon Abolition
New England philosophy. The total negro-
population, of all shades, is but 24,000, hav-
ing increased but 1,000 in ten years. With
all the political and socia' privileges which
are granted to the colored race in New Eng-
land, that people will not colonize there. —
There are admitted to the schools, to the polls
and in all other institutions equally with the
whites, but they are not attracted in that
diréction, preferring to live in the Western
and Middle States with people who deny
them all privileges of equality. The negroes
don’t seem to prize the favors offered to them
by their especial friends in New England.—
Look at Vermont, the most intensely Aboli-
tion and Republican State in the Union, three
fourths of whose population belong te that
faith, with but 582 negroes, a diminution of
150 in ten years! The rule is universal,
that where there are the fewest free negroes
there are the most Abolitionists! The less
people know of the question practically, the
more crazy they are theoretically. New
England, having scarcely any negro popula-
tion, has set the whole country by the ears
and brought upon us unparrallelled disasters
by the questions she has sprung regarding
that race. Removed from the scene of bat-
tle, she has apparently tgken delight in

Drath oF THE FOUNDER OF OpD FELLOW-
smip.—In giving an account of the death of
Thomas Wildey, the Baltimore Patriot says
that Mr. Wildey organized the first lodge of
the Odd Fellows mn this country :
its authentic origin may be considered as
dating from the 26th of April, 1819, at which
time was organized Washington Lodge, No.
| 1, when it was assembled, at the ‘‘Seven
| Stars” tavern, in Second street, kent by Wm.
Loupton, under a call from Thomas Wildey,
the following persons claimed to be institut-
| ed in the order in other places: Thomas
| Wildey, John Welch, John Duncan, John
| Chetham, and Richard Rushworth. It was
| originally self instituted, and designed tg op-
| erate according to the ancient usages of the
| Union Lodge order, which plan was very
soon abandoned, and the work changed to
| that of the Independent Order, and under
| the usages of this branch of the Order, it
| from some competent authority, which was
| obtained through the Duke of York’s Lodge,
| in Preston, England, during the latter part
| of 1819.
| tis no part of our intention to follow the
| rapid advancement of the Order through the
years which have elapsed since that time ;—
| suffice it to say, that it kas gone on increas-
| ing from year to year, until it now contains
| a membership of more than two hundred
| thousand, divided into lodges, and extending
| over the length and breadth of the Union.—
Coupled with the well known fact, it is
| worthy of note that the order expends annu
| ally about one million of dollars in the sup
| port of the sick, and for the benefit to the
| widow and orphan, while large sums are
{ paid annually for the education of orphans.
{ The philanthropic character of the organiza-
tion may be judged of by the brief narration
1 of these facts.
Ir is, perhaps, unsafe to say that a thing
| is so until we have official evidence of it ; but
| there is little room for doubt that the order

Fremont. The rumor was current at Wash-

Good Signs.
The leading Republican newspapers o
Massachusetts are “down” upon Mr. Charles
8.imner’s re cent emancipation speech in the
Republican State Convention, all agreeing
that the repetition of his annual ravings
about the barbarism of slavery was out of
place at this time. This is one of the signs
of the times. Less than a year ago such
speeches were received with acclamations
in Republican Conventions, Another signi-
ficant sign of the drift of public opinion was’
the refusal of this Convention to Pass & res.
olution in favor of negro emancipation in
accordance with the sentiments expressed in
Sumner’s speech. And still another of these b.
8igns is to be found in the expression of
opinions like the following, in the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican, whose editor was pres--
ent at theConvention.
¢¢ After the reading of a very superfluous
string of resolutions, Charles Sumner came
upon the platform, and was received with
warm cheers ; and as he was introduced
and went off into the usual anti-slavery
speech, we could not help thinking of Mr.
Wemmick’s little cannon, touched off sor
regularly at sunset in ** Great Expectations.’
Every year as it comes around and brings a
convention, brings out Mr. Sumner in full
dress and a speech, which proves that he has.
sworn never to talk of anything but slavery
with, perhaps, a mental reservation touching
himself. The ‘aged parent” is ‘always
present to hear the gun go off, and to ex-
press his delight with the noise, We could
not but feel that Mr. Sumner’s speech was
ill timed and out of place.” % .
