LEVI KLINE,

A True View or (lie Question.
The National Litdliynrer, commenting
on the sentiments so frequently put forth
ly the Southern newspapers and Southern
officials in many instances, that the South
will not submit to a Republican President,
and that the "election of a Northern Pres
ident would of itself reduce the South to
the condition of a conquered people," for
cibly says : "We must say, and do say,
that the constitutional election of any man
in the United States, by any number or
combination of States, affords no ground
whatever for an overthrow of the Consti
tution. If it were so, the constitution has
never been worth the parchment upon
which it was written ; and, moreover, on
this paradoxical theory, the only loyalty
it has heretofore commanded at the South
is a loyalty which has been inspired by the
consciousness of political predominance in
the Federal Councils, or by the emolu
ments of official place. For it is to be ob
served that the mere election, if fairly and
constitutionally effected, of any man, by a
single section of the country, would, in
itself, imply nothing more than the polit
ical defeat of the minority of the Union,
and, in ifc-elf considerod, would be no more
a just cause for revolution than is afforded
to the minority in a State (the "Whigs of
Virginia, for instance,) because the ma
jority dcuies them all participation in the
'spoils'' of office.
In Virginia it is deemed eminently
proper that the Whigs, though compri
sing in their number a large proportion of
the wealth, intelligence and virtue of the
State, should, as good patriots, submit to
the denomination of the 'Tenth Legion'
Democracy, though that denomination has
involved for a long scries of years their
ostracism from all positions of honor and
infl nonnn nr.l-.i. 1,-.
.....lAvmi, uuuu me government anu con
stitution of the commonwealth. So long
as their civil rights are protected and se
cured, the "Whigs have not felt called on
to resent their political subjection as a
badge of disgrace, and that, too, although
a change for the better in the aspect of
ineir anaira seems as probable as a thaw
in Nova Zembla.

The difficulty anticipated in the organ
ization of the lower House of Congress

A Cuitiors Fact. At the time of the
explosion on board the Great Eastern, a
curious fact was noticed. Those who
were most hurt, and who first died.
ed the least injured when they first ap
peared above deck, and even were able to
walk aft without assistance. On this
point a writer in the London Times says:
"A man blown up by gunpowder is a
mere figure of raw flesh, ' which seldom
moves after the explosion. Not so with
men blown up by steam, who for a few
minutes are able to walk about apparently
unhurt, though in fact mortally injured
beyond all hope of recovery. This was
so with ouc or two. who. as tliov mim-ov.,!
from below, walked aft with that indes
cribable expression in their faces, only
resembliug astonishment, and a certain
faltering of the gait and movements like
one who walks in his sleep. When not
grimmed by the smoke or ashes, the pe
culiar bright, soft whiteness of the face,
hands or breast, told at once that the
skin, though unbroken, had, in fact been
boiled by the steam. One man walked
along with the movement and look I have
endeavored to describe, and seemed quite
unconscious that the flesh of his thighs
(probably by the ashes from the furnace)
was burnt in deep holes. To some one
who came to his assistance he said, quietly:
"I am all right; there are others worse
than me ; go and look after them;" this
poor man was the first to die.

The lecture system is, as yet, quite un
organized. All creation is scrambling up
to the platform j and the people are com
pelled to make a selection. There was
or.ee a hallucination that in this new sys
tem we were to have the cream of all pro
fessions ; that the duluess of the pulpit,
the mountebankry of medicine, the kna
very of law and politics, the twaddle of
the newspapers, and the verbosity of lit
erature were suddenly to vanish before this
corps of select men, talking an hour, on
large pay, with great mental leisure for
preparation. Dut human nature insists
on giving every grain of wheat, with its
bushel of chaff, and lecturers are already
no better than sermons, newspapers, pills,
congressional (speeches and laws. Here,
as everywhere, we must select, and we pre
sume the most inveterate literary gossip or
lion-gazer does not pretend to be in his
seat every night the hall is lighted. The
fact is, eloquence is very rare, and no pro
cess of compression or stimulation will
bring it out oftencr than at long intervals.
The professions arc imperfect, because man
is imperfect. For each, humanity can af
ford to spare but a few of her elect ; and
we must endure the affliction of medioc
rity everywhere with patience, selecting
the best in each department in life, and
enriching the soil out of which great men
alone can grow an intelligent,' strong,
virtuous people.
We believe that the great "rush" to the
platform is over. As the newspapers im
prove, books cheapen, the Church wakes
to life, and the people scare the doctors
and politicians into new activity, the nov
el forms of amusement arise, the lecture
will be less courted for its own sake, but
reserved for choice men and rare occasions.
"The liberty of speech" in America must
be curtailed, not by any despotic censor
ship in Church and State, but by the com
mon sense of the people. To mantain
that a visionary fool, or a traveling Uom
bestes. or a dabbler in spiritual or phys
ical quackeries, should waste the precious
hour of a thousand busy men and women,
is the hist assumption of individual tyranny.
An hour in America is becoming more
valuable every day, and woe to him who
abuses time under the plea of freedom of
speech. The sacred liberty of staying at
home must drive off crowds of blatant stu
pidities that now vex the air of the
jeeture room, and Veary good men
into disgust at our new American profes
sion. "We need organization and rigid se
lection, to gain the best thing from this
system, and the time has come to urge it.
This mania for hearing lectures is not
altogether hopeful; neither is it humbug.
It denotes several things : that the people
want a new amusement that they want
to sec the "lion"' of every tribe that they
are curious to hear what may be said of
everything that they have little time
to read and study that they begin to
suspect they cannot make a model 'repub
lic out of a dozen conflicting nationalities
and untwist knots like Free Suffrage, Em
igration, Slavery, National Expansion,
Popular Education and Religion, without
a little more knowledge than they now
have. The public interest in the lecture,
while it hes signify a new desire fur im
provement among the people, is neverthe
less a mixed feeling of personal curiosity,
love for recreation and intellectual im
pulse. As a mere form of social amuse
ment, is not to be despised: but one chief
interest in it, is its educational relation
to the country.

Yesterday morning, while M. Freeman

for a moment nonplussed, not being aware
of the cause of this unseemly proceeding.
On turning to the bench, however, the rea

ZVoali's Arli ami tlie Ureal
JLaslerii.
The G rcat Eastern is 1 33 feet longer than
was the Ark, and about 3 feet deeper, but
not so broad within 8 feet. As an illus
tration of the change in ideas of navigation
which the building of the Great Eastern
is calculated to produce, we will quote the
following paragraph from an elaborate ar
ticle issued some thirteen years since in the
Church of England and Quarterly, on the
Deluge, aud republished in Little's Living
Age :
Now as it clearly impossible that a ves
sel of the length and breadth of the Ark
could be otherwise than a floating vessel,
designed entirely lor perfectly still waters
we have supo:.ed it to be iiat-bottoined
and straight-sided, both as making it the
more buoyant and asgiving to it the great
est capacity. It was devoid of all sailing
properties had neither rigging nor rudder
its build was simply that of a huge float
to all outward appearance wholly at the
mercy of the winds and the waves, liable
to be drifted or driven about according as
currents or winds for the time prevailed ;
but, as we shall show, the Ark could nut
have been for a moment subjected to the
influence of either winds or tides. The ex
traordinary length of the Ark proves, at
once, the miraculous power that was, at eve
ry moment, in exercise for its preservation,
since no vessel of the Ark's proportions
could naturally live in disturbed waters :
the very first wave that rose would inevi
tably break its back and rend it entirely
asunder ; nor with all our experience in
shipbuilding would it be possible to con
struct a vessel of the Ark's proportions and
navigate it from Dover to Calais in rough
weather the least swell of the ocean, by
rai.-ing one end and depressing the other,
would break it in the middle and cause it
to founder, nor could any possible contri
vance or ingenuity of construction prevent
this consequence. And if the very pecu
liar construction of the Ark had not made
such a conclusion irresistable, the purpose
for which it was built would have proved
that such was the fact, for had the Ark
pitched in the leat from the swell of the
waves, or rolled at all from side to side un
dcrthe influence of the wind, which, from
its great length and little width, it must
must distressingly have done, the whole
world of animals therein contained could
not have kept their looting ; of very neces
sity, therefore a dead calm must have pre
vailed around the Ark during the whole
of oue hundred and titty days that it was
floating on the waters
