patriotic men of allparties to settle our
difficulties amicably, and avoid the terri
ble calamitrof civil war, these men threw
every obstacle in the way of compromise

it.• Perish a thousand Viiionsrather than

It was gravely arid calmly urged that a
separation from the Southern States
would be infinitelypreferable to continued
i'Union with slavery as a political power.
j These - men placidly calculated the %Attie
lof and came to the conclusion 1
i that their cursed antislavery fanaticism
; was better worth preserving in its integ

But how. sudden their change I The
Southern States rebelled against the Un

VOL. 18. I
Archbishop Hnghita' Organ on
. A late number of Browimon's Quarter.
ly•Review, the leading Catholic periodi
cal ~.of America, ,contained alArticle on
slavery .thid the war, taking- decided'abo
lition grOund. • The - Metropolitan Record,
the recognized _organ of Archbishop -
Hughes',!: contains, .a scathing
,review of
Brownson's article, from which We ex-
tract as &hors
We cabnot help thinking that. thie pa-
per,-so far as it was intended to influence
the CathOlia readers of . the Review, is at
once: untimely and. mischievous. The
Catholics, of this country have obtained
great credit for having entirely kept out
of discussions on the question of slave
-1 ry. Neither do they wish to have that
1 question thrust . upon - them in a period j
cal which is supposed to be published in
the interest of. their relidien:,
Dr. Brownson maintains that the end
and purpose of the war is not, or should
not 'he, merely to sustain the constitution,
government,- and laws of the cOuntry,but •
to abolish slavery in the Southern States.
Now, we; Catholics, and a vast majority
-of our: brave troops in the field, have not
the •slightest idea of carrying on a war
that costs so much blood - . and treasure,
just to gratify a clique of abolitionists in
the north. If it were. generally known
thatihisis one of the purpales of the war.
the' draftirg of troops would become im
mediately necessary—volunteers would
•be few;indeed, hnd the liminess of re-.
uniting would become even slackex than
it is now said to be.
The war is, as we have - said, for the
;maintenance. arid defense of our constitu
tion and government.: In the'progress of
war. it is difficult. to foresee what turn
events may take in the south,-under the
pressure of military-necessity. But to
announce beforehand that one of its pur
-1 poses is to set the slaves in the southern
I States free, and, as a consequence, even
arm. them against the white population,
. is to vitiate in popular estimation 'the
high motives . 'by which the government
and - the gallant officers in command of-the
army are actuated.
-Napoleon 111 , announced that France
made war in Italy for. an idea; but the idea
was his owii, and not furnished' by aboli
tionism. ' Here, on the contrary, that ;
clique, who shun the battlefield and he
come selfeomplacent in their fanaticism, 1
I under the irhmaginetion that our brave
soldiers are fighting - their battles without
heitig aware o f it, are iceming.with 'ideas'
which they expect the country to take up
and realize,'even by the sword.
True patriots will be shocked at the
; Reviewers interpretation of,what the war
means or should mean. Theywill ask :
',Was it for this that our dauntless soldiers
fell in battle? - Was` it for this many of
them, together with their brave officers,
Dare now pining away in, the captivity of'
a southern dungeon? take forinstance,
Col. Corcoran and his gallant fellow pris
j oners of the 69th.. Was it for this that
Cameron fell on the battle-field, without
j any friendly eye to gaze on his counte-.-
I mince whilst he lay
•
"Like a warrior taking kis rest.
- with his martial cloak around him"
it for this that the noble-hearted and
kallant. Ward was, we might say, assassi
: listed on the deck of his vessel? Was'it
for this that the unyielding patriot and
Iheroic commander of Fort. Sumter, .as
j well as the equally -.heroic "Mulligan at
; LeXington, no less than the brave Gen.
Lyon who fellon the field, were' so cruel
ly neglected and left to their fate until
reinforcements .came too late? Was it
to carry out the idea Of abolitionism that
these noble warriors, and .thousands of
1 less distinguished names, have already
1 given .their lives, as they imagined - for
the Support of the constitution and the
preservation of the ;Union ?
No, no. The crime charged against
the adherents of what is called the south- .
ern Confederacy is their wish and attempt
to- overthrow the, constitution and ,the
Governineitt'of the United States. Now
this crime has been attempted by the ab
olitionists, but not in the candid bravery
-of the southern•secessionists.
One of the abolitionists, perhaps their
ablest man, described the constitution as
a "covenant with hell." The abolition
ists weald take•advantage of double tides,
and in order to be consistent whilst they
would. have our army to- destroy slavery
-in the south, they themselves . sympathize
with the" people of the seceded states
who are endeavoring to destroy this same
"covenant with hell." We do Inot say
that -all the abolitionists regard , the son,
stitution in the light as The author of the
attrociou, expression just quoted. - But
we have never seen the expression or its
-author repudiated' iu their; speeches, writ
ings, or resolutions.
KEEP To'ruz Rioirr.—The other day
as the President and Gen. Cameron were
going over to the review in Virginia, it
was necessary for them to 'drive through
Fort Runyon. There are two gates; and
the rule is to keep to the.right to prevent
confusionthe right road was blocked
up, and the President was in a hurry, so
he ordered hisdriver to go through the
left. Re-attempted • it, 'but the guard
stopped him ; dnver insisted on going on,
and said the President ordered it. "That
dodge won% do; you cannot go—so back
your horses out,',he replied : and Old
Abe, laughingly, said; "We had better
fall back ;" and so they backed' out- and
took to the right.
. Of all kinds. of property; money lent,
on good security is the most interesting. :
The soldier's great risk is thatof be
coming extinguished before be becomes
distinguished.
temper is like a sumiy, day, it
sheds a brightness over everything; it is
the sweeteneid toil, and the soother of
disquietude.

• - Warmest and Best Clothing.
Most persons 'suppose that fabrics made
of coarse wool are the warmest and most
durable. This is a inistikenidea. Ow
ing' to the lower prices of coarse' Woolen,
fabrics of this material are usually made
heavier than those of fine - tvoskl; hence
their greater thickness deceive persons
re
spectmg_their
is
for warmth and
wear. There Is no heat in the wool itself;
its properties of what is called "Warmth "
Ls, due to its, non-conducting qualities. If
we g . rasp a bar of iron on a frosty .morn
ing, it producei a d*greeable cold seq.
satiortbecatise it igood conductor of
heat; and the warmth. of the hand is rapid
ly carried off by the metal. On -the oth
er hand, a piece of woolen clotb,;especial
ly if it has a long . nap upon it,_ does not
feel cold bec c ause it is a good nonconduct
or, and prevents the heat passing rapid
ly from the.'. hand. Now the :warmest
fabrick for clothing is that Which is the
best non-conductor • and Count Rumford
made a great nurnb;r s ofexperimente with
different materials in order to 'find 'Out
the best. According to his observations;
the down of, the eider-duck, which the
Esquimaux use in their clothing.• is unri
valed is this respect ; and the 4ner the
fabric of woolen cloth used, the more ha.
perfectly did, it conduct the heat from-the
human body. As fine woolen cloth is
superior to that of coarse wool as a non—
conductor, it is therefore the best for
clothing in keeping the body warm du
ring cold weather._We are also positive
that cloth made o fine wool equal' in
thickness to that manufactured from the
coarser material will wear much . ltnger.—
The 'finest woolen cloth, although dearest,
at first, is cheapest in the end, because it
is more durable and warmer ; and, accor
ding to Leibig . so much neat saved is so
much meat gained. It must not be over
looked, however, that there may be a
very great difference between what - is
called " firm cloth" and 'cloth- made of
fine wool. Fine wool is our theme • it pleasant and soft to the touch, and it
has a rich velvety appearance. There has
been a greater demand recently for coarse
to be used in die manufacture of common
army and other cloth, but every effort
should rather be made to obtain plenty of
cheap fine wool, because it is the warmest
and best for clothing.
No •Uss OR 'l'RousEtts..—On the mor
ning, of the meteoric 4 . hewer, in 183t,01c1
Peyton Roberts, who intended making an:
early start to his work, got up in the
midst of the display. On going to _his
door, he saiv with amazement • the sky
lighted up with - falling meteors, and he
I concluded atonce that the world was on
fire, and that the day of judgment had
I come. He stood for a while gazing in
speechless terror at the scene, and; then
with a yell - of horror, sprang out of the
1 door into the yard, right into the midst
' of the falling stars, and here in his efforts
to dodge them, he commenced a slries of
, ground and lofty tumbling that would
1 have done honor to a rope dancer. His
wife being awakened in the meantime, and
seeing old Peyton skipping and jumping,
aVOut the yard, called out to hide to know
'what in the name : o' sense was he doing
out thar' dancing round without his
clothes ?' But Peyton heard nof ; the

Mr One of the most serious charges
against Gen. Fremont contained in Adjut
and General Thomas' report is, that one
week' after the receipt of the Pregident's
order modifying his proclamatindrelative
to the emancipation •of" 'slaves, . General
Fremont required one of . : his officers to
circulate the original proclamation. This
was an act of defiant insnbordination,
-which no governinent could Overlook,
and which General F:remont's friends can
not excuse or justify. Extravagant ex
penditures of money, lack of military
JtidErment in the disposition of troops, the
inclination to accomodate friends' and
parasites with profitable contracts, and
other direlictions laid to the charge of
Gen. Fremont, may proceed from weak
ness and incapacity ; but the refusal to
complywith an express command of the
government is an.offence of a much high
er grade. .

Harmo
y of Colors in Dross.
Much atteiation has been bestowed up
on the subjeet of harmony of colors. As
the successf many industrial pursuits is
dependent pod" , the observance of the
laws regulat ng the contrasts: of colors, it
may not be i profitable to refer to the
t ,
rules she lays down as indispensable to
beauty and harmony, Theoptical'effect
of dark and black dresses is -to make the
figureshppear smaller, hence it is a suita
ble color for *stout persons; black shoes
diminish the apparent size ofthe feet.—
On the contrary, white and
‘ light eolored
dresfes make persons appear larger. -E=-
Large patterns make the figure look shor
ter;
'longitudinal, if not too wide, add to'
the bight of the figure ; horizontal stripes
have a contrary effect, and are , 'Very un
graceful.. Incongruity may be frequently
observed in the adoption of colors with
out. reference to , their' accordance with
the complexion of the wearer, as a light
blue bonnet and flowers surrounding a
sallow countenance, or a pink opposed to
one of a glowing red :, - a _pale complexion
associated with a canary:or lemon yellow,
or one of delicate red-and white rendered
almost coloriesi by the vicinity of deep
red. If the lady with a sallow complex
ion had worn a transparent white bonnet;
or if the lady with a glowing red com
plexion had lowered it by means of a bon
net of a deeper red color; if the, pale lady
had improved the cadaverous hue of her
countenance by surrounding it with pale
green, which, by contrast, would have
suffused it with a delicate pink hue; or
had the face of delicate red and . white
been arrayed in a light blue, or light
green, or in a transparent white bonnet,
with blue or pink flowers on the inside—
how different, and how mticb more agree
able would have been the impression on
the spectator! In ' general, the broken
and semi-neutral colors are productive of
an excelent effect in -dress. They maybe ,
enlivened by a little, positive color, but
the contrasting color should bear but a
small proportion to the mass of principal
color.. A bluebolmet and dress may .he
contrasted with an orange colored' shawl,
but the'blue, to balance the orange, must
be of a very deep tone ; a pink bonnet.
may be'worn with a green dress, but- the
hue of each should be carefully assorted
according to their exact contrast. Col
ored shawls are instances in which a great
variety of colors-may be arranged with
harmonious and -rich effect. It is always
necessary that if one part of the dress be
highly ornamented, or consists of various
colors, a portion should be plain to give
repose to the eye. The French manufac
turers pay great attention to this subject,
and the good effects of this studynre visi
ble in the textile fabrics which they pro
duce, and which are so highly valued.—
American manufacturers by the, same= at
tention may reach the same degree ofper
fection.—Borien Post. , -
Light in the Sea.
A paper on the nature of the Deep Sea

The Olowth of Plowcire•
In his. address at - . the Queens Cenniy
Agricultural Fair at Flushing, Mr: Rich
ard C. McCormick spoke thus of the -cal
tivatiOn of flowers: •
' . "Not less profound thin has ever been
my admiration of the trees which SQ rich
ly ornament and shade this favored village
is my appreciation_of the beautiful' flow
ers which at all Seasons decorate its grace- _
ful gardens and greenhouse; and which
to day from so - attractive a feature in the
superb variety of nature's wonderful
workti gathered ,beneath this eApacious
tent. Examining each peculiar tint • and
inhaling each exquisite fragrance of these
dainty creations of sunshine and of show
er. I have experienced a feeling similar
to that which excited Linneus, who when
be first saw the English Downs all aflame
with the golden flowers of the furze, knelt
down and thanked God for having made
anything 'so beautiful. The varied splen
dor of the flowers who shall describe it ?

I say unto you, that Solomon in • all his

"That sturdy British reformer, Cabbett
Who was more successful in
.agriculture
than in politics/ while resident in North
Hempstead;-in this county, in ,the early
part of the present ,century, used his
ready pen in simple but masterly exposit-.
ion the requirements , of practical hus—
bandry. His voluminous writings cluster
.with common sense,' and a radieal Quix
otic sentiment here and there, may= be
pardoned in veiw of the- wen y valuable
hints and suggestions, the result ofan
ucnsual experience and peculiar powers
of observation, with which his works on
rural subjects are replete. From: his
passionate fondness of the grosser veget
ables, especially the Ruta Bags turnip,
which he first introduced in America and
Cultivated with great success, it might be
supposed that , he had no-better appreciat
ion of flowers than bad Woodsworth's
stoic, Peter - Bell. But not so. In Ilia
`American Gardener,' which may be read
at the pfeseut time to advantage, he re
bukes those who think that flowers are of
no use, and etelaimi, 'For my part tufa
thing to keep and not to sell, as a thing
the possession of which is to give - me
pleasure, I hesitate-not a moment to pre
-ler the - plant of a 'fine carnation to a gold
watch set with diamonds' .
"In this light I wonder that - every farm
hasnot its flower garden however small.
In its peifection it is, of course, unattain
able without great care and expense; but
a single dollar a year, judiciously laid out
in seed and bulbs, will from one tiny plant,
yield, from the first crocus to ' the last
chrysanthemum, a perpetual joy: It is
iudeo, passing strange that there is not
e more general enthusiasm in the cultiva
ion of flowers. It has been said that they
are the alphabet of angels - wherewith they
write on hills and plains the mysterious
truths. Certian it is that they are ever,
suggestive of the pure and holy, and, en
nobling, to those who live in their- gentle
presence.' , , - •
'Lafayette, visiting the mother of Was

may do much in 'the.training of the rose
to brighten their 'own cheecks vrith its
blushing hues, and in the sweet air of the
garden find an invigoration which no other
source can provide. Our maidens should
