delicacy would n6e. allow ter to accept
charity - visits from the reported suitor of
Bertha Goidon. Had 'he been an older
and a.niarried man, she might have beep
less scrupulous. : .
When morning came F o ssie rose early,
prepared her breakfast, eight o'clock
found her busily engaged at her task of
sewing..
Slie thought she would make 'one more
trial, hoping she might succeed bettei as
it was so much better sewing by daylight
with a warns room.
Noon came, and the sleeves were Vat
completed. With a heavy heatt she laid
aside her work, for she knew that, do her
best, she could'not finish the' dress until
late Christmas nitertioon, not even with
working the greater part of the 'night..
Alterthinking it over—thinkins of her
brother's disappointment-she resolved - Th
go and see Bertha, tell her all urge her to
give Up the skirt trimming: - -
Giving her brotbrotherbisdinner she gave
bim,someeugravings with which to amuse
himself, and artaymg herself in her scant
black shawl, she tied on her close mourn
it bonnet and•went out into the chilling
air, so significant of a snow storm. -Hew
she missed the WarM furs she had disposed
of a few weeks previous to enable her •to
buy a.winter. store of wood and other ar
ticles of necessity. The- snow began to
fall, and wrapping her shaWl. closer aboUt
her and drawing down her veil she went
on into the spate where lived her rich
employer, Bertha Gordon.. 'With tremb
ling hand she rang the hel at one of the
sid entrances, and Awaited an answer to,
the mullions. 4 pleasant-faced Irish girl
appeared and said: •
"Be you the young 'eddy that wad lie
afther. bringing me ' young misthress'
dress?"
Essie replied in the alfirumtiye:
" Wall, then, yer'd better be afther go
ing inter the kitchen to warm yey; poor
buddy; for I &chi' now to the Holy 'Vir
gin, if doesn't look its et' yer was fro,
mtirely • an' I'll jist tell Misthress Ber
tVl(34hat ye ' bey come." •
-Essie, preferred waiting in the hail, and
soon the maid returned, saying •
"Me young mistbress would be :tiller
seeing yer in the parlor; an' sure, follow
me, an' I'll show yer the way, c)s in course
yer doesn't know it at . all at all"
,Essie soon found herself in theresence•
of Bertha 'Gordon, who exclaimed:
" Why, where the dress ? I thought
to be sure, you had brought it! You
promised me'l shou:d have it to-day to
try;" and the imperious beauty tapped
her pretty little footin its satin boot
-
grilv upon the carpet.
" - I am very sorry to di;appoint you, ,
Alis's Gordon, but have found it nnpossible
to fuilihl my.protnise, Though I have work

Why as youi did mine—by promising, to
have :them !ready fOr their °wirers by
Christmas; .ivheri you knew it, was impos
sible."
The burning color surged up into Esther
G raham's - face - at these insulting words;
but.rcmembering that "he who ruletir
his spirit; is greater than_ he who taketh a
city," she lifted up an inward supplication
fin- strength to subdue the storm of pass
ion which had well nigh overtaken her,
and then mildly said
" You wrong me, Miss Gordon ; I never
willfully deceive any oire trusting me with
work, and I had not an idea but that I
could finish your dress at the time specified
But you cannot conceive what. an almost
endless task it is to cut those narrow folds
and put themon, for the satin, besides; --- be-
Mo. stiff, frays so badly." • _ •
0, .yeFc : of cdurse ; as usual, it is the
worst stuff to make that ever was ;" • and
Bertha Gordon• looked her sneering cons
tempt of Essie's assertions.
"It is true, madame; and beside . these
hindrances I have had a little helpless
brother to take care of, and—"
"0, yes, and A sick father and bed-rid
den,Mother. I'm sick of these stories
pre tired for the occasion l".
Esther 'Graham's face betokened- no
anger now. The mention of those two
holy words, "father and mother," reach
ed too deep into her heart, -recalled too
.many sweet sad remembrances to awaken
any emotion save those of the tendereSt,
most sacred ..natnre; as with moistening'
eyed and quivering lip she. stood before
Bertha Gordon,'so with quiet voice she
said
. .
41 Will you, lease allow - me to say what
I have to say; Miss Gordon ? as each mo
meal spend but makes the anode . of my
finishin.g-your dresi less than it otherwise
would be." • .
"Then you thiokryou may yet finish it
in timer and Bertha Gordon's face—sof
tened a little. -
" Yes,' am quite sure I can finish it so
that you can have it to-morrow •at . noon,
if you Will but dispense with the folds
on the skirts ; and that willleai•e - me time

Bertha Gordon. arose to her -feet, and
her eyes fairly blazed as she repealed:

:Me have assembled, fellow-citizens, In
pursuance of the...proclamation -of the
Mayor, that we . tuay "counsel together tb
.avert the danger which threatens our
Totuatry." That danger is not recent or
new. It has a history. And we meat
glance at that--=we must .obtain a clear
view of the actual state of the er6ic,
fore .we can :give or receive intelligent
counsel.
.
: It was announced 'a few years alp- that
the conflict which hied sAfrung up in. this
country .between free and slave labor was
irrepressiblethat a house divided against
itself Could not stand—that all the states
of this Union must become free :+!:•r slave
States:
- The meaning of this was, and is, that
all were to betzune free States, for- the
soil and climate du. majority of he States
are such that it never can becoute the in•
terest of the superior race to mail:it:tie sla.
very in them. Everybody
.knows this;
and, therefore the alternative fortnaf the
; the proposition was only to give it an ap
pearance of fairness-mach' little more ma
terial effect. '
The full scope 'and meaning of- the an
nouncement is, then, that citizens. of the'
United' are to.be , totally- divested
Of the property - they now hold in four or
five millions of Slaves, of the aggregate
value of many millions of dollars, and that
the habits and domestic condition of.. thi.
people-- , -their commercial.relations, and
their political rignts, in so.aria.s those in
terests are connected with institution
of slavery, are toondergp a revolution.
. 'Nor was,ithis predictiori . the voice of
an obseure and unlion °red prophet, bet
of a citizen whom-the people of- the
.free
Suttee have just distinguished in a signal
manner, by conferring - 6n him the Highest
office they had to give: In so far as their
votes are to he considered as responsive
to his announcement, they aril a loud amen

Whilst it is not to be dou'oted-thatmur
titudes voted for the President elect with
other views; and did not intend a distinct
undersement of his fatorite proposition,
yet, as the record, is made up,
_the proph
eey and the prophet stand, approved by a
majority of the free States. Theinexora
ble exclusion - of slave =property from the
common territories, • which the Govern-
Ment liolch in trust for people of all States,
is a natural and direct etev towards the
grand result of extinguishing slave prop;
erty, and was one of the record issues of
the late election. This policy must be con'-
sidered as approved . also. '•Not_that every
man who voted for. the successful. nomt
nees-meant to affirm that a trustee for sev
erld coeqUal parties has-a right, in law or
"reason' to exclude the property of some
and admit that of others of the parties for
whom he holds': but so is the record. And
whilst it is-not to be taken as expressing
the universal sense of the voters; it' does
undoubtedly imply. that vast masses of,
Northern people do heartily approve both
of the proposition to make all the States
free and of beginingo .x eluding . slavery
from the 'l:orrifories.'
The South seems inclined so to accept
the udgment.• She holds the • property
:that is to be shut out of -the'terntories
that is to be restricted, crabbed' and con.
fined more and more until it is finally ex.
tinguished: Everywhere •in , the '•South
the people are beginning to lbok out for
the means of •self-defenee. - ,, Coala it be
expected that-she would be indifferent to
such events as have occurred ? That she
would hand idle and see measures concer
ted and•earried forward for the aniliilation
of her prOperty in slaves? •
. Several Skates propose '4_o retire from
the torrfederacy, and ' that juitly` nlarms
us. •
.We conic together,-to consider what -•
may be done to prevent •it, and we are
bound, in fidelity,to ourselves and others
to take - the measure-of the whole mogul, - .

This irrepressible conflict has giown - out
of the Angro-Saxowleve of -freedom.—' 3
What this passion is, and-bow it was GT : :
ended by the introductiOn of negro slaves
may be read in the chronicles of the-Amer:
ieian Provinces, and, especially, in the ear
nest; the eloquent and repedeti 'remons
trances addressed by the Colony of Vir
ginia to the Crown and Parliament of
Great Britain against their introduction.
- But if ; ,the Anglo-Saxon loves 'liberty
above all other men, he is not indifferent
to gain and thrill, and is remarkable for
ilia capacity of adaptation, whereby lie
.takes advantage of any circumstances_ in
which he finds himself placed. And accor
dingly by the time the Colonies were Pie:
pared to throw off the British yoke -and. ,
-to assume among the powers of the earth
the separate and equal station to which
the laws of Nature and "-of Nature's God .
entitled•them, it has been discovered that,
the unwelcome workers, against whose in
troduction each earnest protests had been
made, could be tarried- to profitable ad

and that the North, which could not em
