Why cannot the same custom obtain
now T Why is not a black scarf, a

is necessary to be worn as an outward
indication of grief? If we need an-out
ward token of sorrow at all for the
eyes of other people, why not adopt the
economical practice of our patriotic fore
fathers?
The custom of changing tho entire
apparel of a numerous family on the
death of a relative, produces not unfre
quently great privation and pecuniary
embarrassment. Often has the little
all, left, by the industry and frugality
of the deceased parent to support, the
widow and children, been sadly dimin
ished, or altogether swept away, by
Lein devoted to the purchase of 111111 C.
eessury garments of mourning apparel,
which, under a more healthy publie
opinion,might have hiten dispensed with,
and the children supplied with far more
necessary articles of comfort. Wo
would not treat this question lightly or
harshly ; the custom is dictated by the
most delicate impulses and sympathies
of our better nature; still it is a custom
which could well be dispensed with al
togother. •
We make these remarks in all kind
ness, upon wlaat seems to us a useless
expense, towards these who fed com
pelled by public opinion and habit to
follow the custom. It seems to us that
these trappings of grief are entirely
useless where there it is real grief, a ho!-
low mockery where is not. She objec
tams against the custom are, it is UFG
less. inconvenient and expensive. In
summer, mourning dresses are the most
uncomfortable of any that are worn.
And what use do they servo? To re
mind us that, we are afflicted and be
reaved ? We need no outward memor
ial of that melancholy fact, nor do we
desire to be pointed out to an unsympa
thising world as one that asks public
attention to the circumstance. Shall a
suit of•sable be worn-becanse it, isgrateful
to our own individual feelings—because
it affords us solace and corn fin in our
bereavement ? Wo can derive no con
solation from such a source, or from any
such outward sign of grief.

NORTHERN AGGRESSION-END OF
THE SOUTHERN AGGRESSIONS.
Senator Seward made a most remark
able declaration the other day in the
S. Senate: He said that he regard
ed the battle as already ovEr—that an
absolute preponderance in the Federal
Government was already secured to the
Free States, and that nothing could
prevent this preponderance from being
steadily increased hereafter.—For mak
ing.this admission, for faltering in the
game of agitation at this juncture, when
it is necessary so keep up the excite
tnent against the Imcompton Constitu
tion, Mr. Seward was sharply rebuked
by Mr. Hale. The Tribune, reprosent
ing tho Republican party, differs from
Mr. Seward, and marks out the pro
gramme for future operations, in this
13 triki if passage:
" What precise 'battle' is hero re
ferred to, we cannot say; but if it be
the battle between Slavery and Free
,Free-
dom, we do net share the sanguine an
ticipations of our Senator. On the
contrary, wo con.ider this battle so fur
from being over,' that it is barely be
gun. The tact that such a measure a.
the Lccompton Constitution is now be
fore Congress. with a stron7 probabili
ty that it will go through, is strik
ingly at war with the Senator's cxu:tit
tion.
" But ' we are fighting for n majority
of Free aates:.says Gov Seward. That,
certainly, is not the limit of our aspira
tion. We desire net merely a majority
of nominally Free States, but that every
State dual be thoruu7hly Free and di voted
to the cause of univer.qal Free MM. A ma

We haee heard much lately about
the aggressions of the Slave power and

men; at ~ this time the whole North is

the plan of ilt- campaign against the
South and herfinstitutions, and will not

recting its heavy thunder against the
Lecomptcin Constitution as a Southern
aggressiot, imposition and cheat, it
leads an organization designed to press
the numerical force of the North against
the South.
Rut while this aggressive Northern
spirit is pressing turward, reinforced
and reinvigorated by the new recruits
who have enrolled themselves against
the old phantom of Southern aggression,
Mr. Servaed pauses and declares that
the battle is already won; that in spite
of Southern arressions, against which
he has uttered many earnest protesta

the Northern Democrats to their South

State' under the Lecompton Constitu
