To the far-aveing eye or the statesman,
the luture is full of event*, the develop
meni of which is calculated to till the
mind with gloomy forebodings, and shake
the faith of th»ve who believe in man's
capacity for self-government. Old and
|njM'erfulgovcrnuienU,likroldand wealthy
individuals, become isolated in feeling and
selfish in liabit and action, and will use
every means at command to make every*
thing bend tu.tlicir will, or become sub
servient to their interest. In the present
disturbed stale o( the American people,
the statesman can have no difficulty of
tracing the whole of our troubles to the
government of England, whose distinct
policy, ever since we threw off her yoke,
has been to break up the union of the
Stales, so as to destroy the North in whose
manufacturing and commercial enterprise
-he saw a tinted and dangerous rival. She
tried torce and signally tailed. Diplomacy
-ncceedcd no belter. As a last resort, and
in which she ha* perfectly succeeded, she
npptaled through the presa tu the boasted
love of freedom, and through the pulpit
to the puritanical fanaticism uf the north
ern mind.
Ily the continued and careful u»c of
tho«f dangerous and powerful agents she
has succeeded In making the North—her
hated and dangerous rival—her inatru
tnent to carry out her lung desired and
dearly cherished object. She has now
dissolved the Union of the Stales, which
she will use every means, and even retort
to war, to make final, irrevocable and
eternal. If the Northern Congress which
meet* to day, ia subservient, fanatical nr
stupid enough to declare war against the
South; then in leas than twenty days,
Kngland and France, and perhaps Spain
(who ia but the tool of England,) will de
clare war against the United (Northern)
States. As a necessary consequence, the
war must then be a abort one ; but the
object will b« accomplished, the separa
tion between the North and the South
will be eternal ; and England, ly treaty,
will get command of all the cotton produc
ing land on the face of the globe. Long
years of experiment and the expenditure
of millions of dollars, baa satisfied England
that the cotton gone of America alone can
produce that peculiar ciana of cotton, nine
tentba of which is necessary to the profit
able manufacture of all cotton fabrics.
Without the command of American cotton,
England newer can monopolise the cotton
trade of the world, but with US* command
of American cotton, she will have a com
plete monopoly, not only of the cotton,
trade but of the commerce of the world
also. For this glittering price—this
gigantic controlling power, England will
hesitate at no sacrifice of men and money,
and the deluded North will find, too soon,
that they have been the blind but willing
instrumenta of their own destruction.

Editor» Democrat: We htvo had •
must excellent treat in our place during
(he past few dava On Wednesday, the
ISlth ult, Mr. Johnson, teacher of our
school, commenced his semi-annual ex
amination, He had his room most beau
tifully festooned. Above was a large
American (lag : in the centre a life site
portrait of the Hon. Stephen A. Douglas,
trimmed with crape. Above were two
American flags crossed; between, were
the following mottoes, 41 American Inde
pendence, won by the .sword, and will be
protected by the sword.” On the right
and left, portraits of the American Presi
dents. In brief, the room was tastefully
and artistically arranged, displaying much
taste on the part of teacher and pupils.
Ur. Johnson when interrogated in regard
to the richly dresaed room of pictures,
flags, and flowers, gave nil the credit to
hi* pupils, of whom he is justly proud.
The examinations commenced Wednes
day, 10th, at which time the Rangers were
thoroughly examined Ih orthography,
reading and simple numbers ; Thursday,
Trojans and Invincible» were examined
in the various branches common to an
English education. Where all did so well
we will net attempt to particularise. We
observe two new features in Mr. Johnson’s
examination. First, he has familiarized
his pupils on general questions, pertain
ing to practical life. Some hundreds of
questions were answered promptly, which
are not found in the usual course of
studies.
Secondly, Mr. Johnson holds the opin
ion that It Is as much benefit, if not more, ;
that pupils, especially female, should be
encouraged in domestic as well as in men
tal work, lie therefore offered two prizes
to the pupils making the beet and second
best loaf of bread. There were some
twelve competitors, and on Friday the fui
lowing exercises were conducted : A speli
lo? contest and bread exhibition.
Committee on spelling—Messrs. Sim
mons, I’artlett and Parker. There were
six prizes, won as follow»; First prize,
Webster's Pictorial Dictionary, Richard
Irvine ; second, Thompson's Travels, two
(Inc volumes. Miss Jennie Gray ; third,
M‘-r. Mary Van Fussen ; fourth, Master
L. Thorntin ; fifth, George Hatch ; sixth,
Miss Caroline Van Fossen. After which
a large volume was offered for the pupils
to compete for. It was won by Miss C.
Van Fosseu.
During the contest in spelling, there i
were three three thousand four hundred
nr.d seventy-four words given to the class.
The Committee on bread, was composed
ol Messrs. Chapman, Itryant nod McCor
mick. First piize was awarded to Miss
Charlotte. Wcthcrwax ; second, to Miss
Maggie Ilriggs.
During the days of the examination
there were many persons present, among
them a number of ladies. Mr. Johnson
read his school record; the number of days
in attendance; general average, visitors,
etc. We And the school has averaged, in
daily attendance, since January Ist, 46;
visitors present, two hundred and twenty;
lectures to the school, fifteen. There are
many other items of interest to patrons in
the report.
The school will open again July 22d.
The house has been recently thoroughly
repaired, and now ranks among the best
and the school is under the management
of gentlemen who are deeply interested in
the cause of education, sparing no expense
to promote the welfare of the rising gen
eration. The board consists of Messrs.
Dlaudiard, Meredith and Gilmore.
CITIZEN.
How rut Waii is to pa Decided. — The
Richmond correspondent of the Charles
ton Courier tells the following character
istic anecdote of our gallant friend. Col
Jack Hays:
It is the opinion of Gen. Lee that the
war is to be fought and determined by
artillery. Other leading military men dis
sent from this view, and believe that in
every battle the Southern volunteers will,
at any sacrifice, seek the closest quarters
possible, and decide tlie late of the hour
with Bowie-knife and bayonet The dif
ference in these two opinions is accounta
ble by the fact that the first comes from a
purely theoretical old soldier, who has had
to do with " man-machines” all his life,
while the other emanates from thosa who
understand the calibra and spirit of the
▼nlunteeta; led them upon the field# of
Mexico, and are ready to taka the lead
now. The incident isrelated of Jack Hays
that during one of the battles of Mexico
a general officer asked him how a certain
apparently Impregnable place was to be
taken.
“ I can’t tell you how, General," said
Hays, ” but if you want it done I'll do it."
“ Take your own way," said the com
mander.

thrilling words, and then, at (he head of
his men, went through a galling fire and

now IT WAS FILLF.D.
Symkin Slink was a tinker by trade) hill
business, somehow, did not thrive with
him ; he could manage from bln earning*
to live, but that waa all ; he resided in a
«mall house, consisting of one room, which
wan scantily furnished, tn front of hla
little dwelling, he had erected himself a
booth In which to display his wares, and
woilld sit there day after day watching for
customers to come and bur, who nerer did
come, and, as of course, didn't buy. His
father had been a tinker before him with
equal success. Old Slink had once been a
rich man, at least so he boasted, but mis*
fortune had fallen thick upon him, and be
had to work hard to gain a living for him*
self and son. When talking of his former
state of plenty, he would refer to an old
canvass bag, which, he declared, he once
kept full of bright gold pieces.
•My son, Svmkin,' he would say, ‘when
you can Hll that bag as it was once filled,
you will be a rich man, and need envy no
noble in ail the land.'
And thereupon he would take a mighty
draught of ale; indeed, he was rather too
fond of mighty draughts, and was, I am
sorry to say, rather a disreputable charac
ter, and finished by drinking himself out
of this world.
Symkin was not of s desponding mind,
so, when left to shift for himself, he work
ed manfully, and always looked Upon the
bright side of things. What s happy gift
that is, to be able to see the silvery lining
and lake no note of the sable clouds; —
some people, like fools, of coilfse, when
they find themselves In the Queen's
Bench, will not be merry and jovial, but
curse their fitte and say they are misera
ble creatures. Hut others, the true phi
losophers of this world, when they march
off to that place of confinement, only
think of the great pleaaure It will hie
when they get out again, “No one,” the
jovial pldtosophef will say, " who has al
ways been al large can know such a pleas
ure as Ibis.” And is be not right? As I
cannot speak from experience, I bad bet
ter not siteak at all.
Symkin worked hard, I say, and if each
man had bis deserts, ho would have been
overdosing with Wealth. But it was not
to be, and Symkin took it all fur the best,
lie had hung up the old money-bag In his
room, and when lie had an idle fit come
upon him, he would look upon bis fath
er’s legacy.
‘Symkin,' he said at such times, ‘you
have got to fill that bag with broad pieces,
so pet to work, you lar.y dop !”
With all bis poverty, Symkin waa a
happy man. We (I speak of the middle
class,) are apt to wonder how the mechan
ic who works bard all day, can be content
with his lot, and docs not long to live in
sudi bouses as we do. No doubt, the
mechanic thinks the same of the Irish la
borer, and the duke and duchess of us.—
Hut are we or they the less happy for
that T Of course, all men wish fur more;
but is not our ambition for a large bouse
and carriage and six-foot flunkies, and I
know not whnt, the same thing as the
mechanic's longing for a little nmre pay
and a little less work, a little more pleas
ure and a little less pain, and so or. ?
And so Symkin Slink was happy—and
would have been able to supply the Sul
tan, in the Eastern story, with that cele
brated shirt which was so ncccsaary to
his health—but for one thing for wliich
he still lunged. He wisher) to be married,
and how could he marry on such a ridic
ulous earning as his? And he thought
the only way to get out of the difficulty
was to fill that money-bag at home ; but,
ah ! he never could fill it. •>
He had fallen in lore already, aa a sort
of a preparation for the event which he
had hoped would someday happen. Joan
Mincing (the daughter of the Widow
Mincing, who kept the ‘Golden Bell,’)
was his choice, and it waa settled that as
soon as that wonderful money-bag was
filled, they should be man and wife, but
not till then.
One evening Symkin took bis parting
cup at the Golden Bell, and was striding
on as fast as his long legs would carry
him, when he fell to thinking ofhisafTaira;
and he thought a great deni about them,
too; he turned them this way and he
turned them that, but al ways came to the
same conclusion, which was, that the bag
had nothing in it, and he saw no chance
of anything getting there; and so he
thought, and thought, and thought, when
—click—his foot struck against some
thing, and of course it was a purse. Ay !
and a purse worth the finding, too ; it
was one of those bags, embroidered on
the front, which the nubility of that time
wore at their girdles. With trembling
fingers Symkin undid the button, peeped
in, cut a caper, threw his stick into the
river, and ran home as fast as he could.
Once there, he bolted the doOf, looked
to the fastening of the shutter, and pro
ceeded to examine his treasure; there
were plenty of gold pieces there, and he
counted them over and over again, and
chinked them on the table, placed them
in a line, in a circle, tumbled them into a
heap, and run them through bis fingers.
Besides the gold, he found some rich Jew
els, a gold chain, or necklace (with a large
ruby banging thereto), a bracelet and a
brooch. The next thing he did, was to
take down bis money-bag, and cram it
lull of the precious metal.
• Ah I ah I’ said he, rattling it against
the table. * filled at last, old boy ; 1 need
envy no nobleman now.’
When the first transports of his joy
wore over, be dug a hole in the clay floor
beneath bta straw pallett, and there buried
the bag securely, and retired for the night.
But he could not sleep ; every noise he
heard he fancied was a thief, the swing
ing of the sign-board sounded like some
one forcing the door, the whistling of the
wind down the narrow lane ho imagined
was s burglar signalling to bis comrade,
the splash of the river he took for foot
steps; so he was obliged to take down ■
large bill, and stand guard over his treas
ure until daylighttlreemed in at the chinks
of the windows.
He abut up hia bouse that day earlier
than usual,and digging up his bag, secured
it on hia person, having first examined the
contents a second time. 1 fear be newer
thought of seeking who eras the rightful
owner; but if ha bad there were no police
in those days—only the watch, who were
anything but detective ; so be took out
the brooch as a present for Joan. He
didn’t walk so jauntily as usual, but look
ed at every one whom be «net with sus
picion, and grasped bis cudgel firmly.
He was not used to be disturbed in his
sleep of nights, but last night be certainly
was wakefbl ; he was not used to bolt ih
bar tbs door, but rest in east, with the
idea that aobody would thiak it worth
their while to eater: heretofore, whan he
walked ahead, be had a unity greeting
for all, and was b> noféar of foot-pads, for
ad they could aspect front Mat waa a

aped on. imtil he came in sight of the
Golden Bell, when he breathed more
freely ; so he stepped on jauntily, strode
across the threshold of the tavern into a
little parlor, and roared, * A cup of mulled
sack, drawer.’

Widow Mincing wits a sharp, matter-of
bet romiti; Who attended her busineaa
well, and waa shrewd, and ret kindly.—
When she first discovered the little love
affair between Symkin and Joan, she did
all in her power to atop It ; but when it
became too strong for her, she wisely gave
in. For all that, ahe looked upon the
merry tinker with no great favor, and con
sidered him a thoughtless, though good

love as a friend ; but as a son-in-|aw — ahi
he had no money, and so she came to that
determination as to the filling of the mo
ney bag, which neither of them could
openly object to, although both did SO se
cretly. When Symkin called for a cup of
mulled sack, she thought he was decided
ly msd.
‘Mulled sack,’ she muttered, 'and where
is the money to come from ?’
‘Never fear, mother I’ cried Symkin,
gaily. ‘My money-bag is filled at last !
Look here!’ And,fie shook the bag over
his head, bringing it dowh With a crash
on the table. ‘Here, pretty Joan,’ he con
linued, taking the bewildered girl round
the waist, ‘here's a little brooch fur thee ;
see how it glitters in the light.’
‘A pretty brooch, indeed I' cried mother
Mincing, snatching it from his hand.
‘Joan shall touch no such thing, if she is
an honest woman's daughter. How carne
you by all this tretsure f
‘Marry, I found It!' cried Symkin, Jovi
ally. 'And a pretty find it was, too ; sec
here I* And he spread the broad pieces
on the table, heedless of tbe greedy eyes
around him,
‘Found it!* echoed mother Mincing.—
•Ay! in a gentlefolk's pocket, I'll be
bound ; poor people don't come by such
things honestly.'
'Nay, nay, good mother,’ said Symkin;
‘as honestly as the day is light. Why,
look you I you promised me that when I
could fill my little money-bag, little Joan
should be mine. Didn't she, Joan ? and
now you turn your back upon me, and
call me a thief.’
Joan waa evidently inclined to her moth
er's belief, and, on being pressed by her
lover, only replied ; ‘Sure it's good gold,
if it be well conic by I’
‘Why, look you I’ said Symkin, hotly,
‘have I deserved this ? A hard working
fellow, like I, cannot pick up a little mo
ney but I am thought a thief and a mur
derer fur anything I know I'
'Ay,' said Mistress Mincing, ‘very like
ly!’
‘Why, by all that's unholy !' only he
didn't put it in such a mild way, ‘would
you swear my character away before you
hear what I have to sav F Ask anybody
here—ask Gaffer John,little Andrew Mark
—ask anybody if they have ever known
me to do a dishonest action.’
‘Not I,’ said the Gaffer ; ‘always as true
and fair as a new bow-string.'
‘Nor I,’ cried little Andrew ; ‘Symkin
was always of the right sort; al ways ready,
to drink with a man and break Ilia crown
afterwards.' And he handed to him his
cup- , ...
Symkin put it aside with some heat, for
he was thoroughly roused, and told his
storyas plainly as he could.
‘flout, tout!' said the only woman,
when he had finished. ‘Do you suppose
that I am going to believe such a story as
that? Not I!'
‘Do you think !'d tell a lief 1 roared
Symkins.
‘A man who would steal would tell a
hundred lies!' screamed his opponent;
‘and I firmly believe you’re no better than
rou should be; so march off, my good sir,
Ì will not have any vagabond in my
house!'
This wag past endurance, so Symkin
declared he would budge for no man or
woman In the World, and sat down to hia
sack, which bad been prepared during the
hot controversy.
‘Come, lads,' said be, ‘you won’t turn
your backs upon me, I know. Drawer!
bring your best sack for all, if your mis
tress will allow you.’
‘Though it be ill gotten, it may be well
spent,' replied the Dame ; tnd, with this
salvo to her conclusion, she served her
customers, and so they sat drinking till
midnight.
' Before leaving, Symkin went up to Joan
to bid her good night; her mother be
would noi look at.
'Now look here, my little Joan,' said he,
*is it fair that because I have fulfilled my
engagement, you should throw me off like
thisf
'I didn't throw you off,’ Mid Joan;
‘how can you *ay so when you know I
didn't »' ' and she was in a fair way of cry
ing.
‘At least your mother did,’ continued
her lover, ‘and you know you don't think
so well of me as you did.'
'Well,' Hid Joan, ‘but how did you get
all that money 1'
‘llavn't I told you » I found it on the
road.’
■Oh 1’ she said.
That ‘oh I’ ' cried Symkin, 'means that
you don't believe me. Good night I’ and
be went off ahi uptly.
When ho went out the nest night to
have bis evening pot of ale, be was unde
termined which house to patronise. Moth
er Mincing's was evidently out of the ques
tion ; so be turned into the White Ball)
where be used to go before he was attract
ed elsewhere by a pair of blue eyes.—
When he entered he found but few people
assembled, but amongst others waa an old
crony of his, Master Grundling by name,
a short, fat, pursy, red-faced man, who
was one of the city watch, and considered,
amongst his small circle of friends, a very
important roan, indeed quite a superior
sort of person, you know ; and there he
sat drinking from a large flagon, and beat
ing hia toes at the fire.

Grundling. ‘ where hast thou hidden thy

that’s what I'vs been doing,” replied
Symkin with a growl.
‘Ah I* said Grundling, ‘a pretty face, ia

4 Why, lad 1 lad!’ cried the old man in
astonishment: ’what! are you in truth
mad ?’
* What have I to do with the wstcli ?’
asked the young man, aomewhat more
humbly; walking about dirty streets,
and shouting the hour, the same tiling
night after night ; faugh! I’ll go to France
with the King.’
•Cornel come! Symkin,’urged Grumi
ling, • you’re too pretty a man to be
knocked in tba head so young. When
you say that with ua it is the same thing
night after night, you know not what you
are about. Why, the excitement ia won
derful ! Only the other night I had to
run down a great hulking vagabond, who
had cut Sir Walter Gallon's purse) I fol
lowed him three good mile*, and brought
him to bay in Bucklerabury. I had a
hard fusile with him, and at last, with
the help of some of Sir Walter’s men, he
was seized and bound ; but '(was no use,
lad, the purse was gone, and he declared
he had throirn it into the river, which
was a pity, as there was much money in
it and Jewels.'
•Ila!’ cried Symkin, ‘«rhat kind of
purse was it f
* A largo purse of yellow leather,' said
Orundling.
• Embroidered with gold cord and seed

• With tassels of the same.'
4 With much gold In it I’
4 And a rich bracelet.’
4 And a gold chain V
4 With a ruby.'
4 A brooch f’

4 Hurrah I' shouted Symkin ; ' I’ve got
the purse, man !—l’ve gut the purse I I
found it t'other day, and It has made me
miserable ever since. We'll go to Sir
Walter Gallon's to-morrow morning, and
—ali I* and Symkin’s face fell woefully.
4 What's the matter f asked Orundling,
scarcely recovered from his astonishment
' I've spent a lot of it,’ replied Symkin,
4 Never fear, man ; Sir Walter will only
be too glad to get any of the money back.
He has a good heart has Sir Walter.
Well, then, Symkin, be ready for me be
times to-morrow morning ; and so, good
night 1* and betook his staff and toddled
home one way, while Symkin went the
other.
The next morning, (Symkin with his
purse) set out for the house of Sir Welter.
The city was all busy, particularly near
the river side, with hammering of iron
and steel ; and men wora packing boats
with baggage, and stowing horses in ships,
and bawling, and shouting, and making
ns much noise as they could ; for the great
expedition was about to sail fur the coast
of Fiance,which was to end in Agincourt.
* That’s where I mean to go,’ said Sym
kin, jerking his thumb at one of the trans
ports, 'ns soon as ever I get rid of this
dirty gold.'
‘You should not revile good things,’
said Grundling; and now I think of it,
you haii belter pay my forg out of it, for
Sir Walter is apt to forget si c’i things,
and break your head if you remind him
of them.’ So he helped himself liberally,
choosing six of the heaviest pieces ; and
poor Symkin supposed it was all right.
* See I’ cried Grunding, * here comes Sir
Walter himself 1’
And as he spoke, a knight, unarmed,
rode into the street) followed by his
squires and men-at-arms, Me was a young
man, in purple velvet doublet, with scal
loped sleeves, and pointed shoes, embroi
dered with gold I His squires bore his
armor and weapons, ana his clump of
spears made a goodly show.
Grundling stood bowing and scraping,
in some confusion at the sudden appear
ance of the knight, but at last managed
to tell bis stoTv.
‘This is an honest fellow,’ said Sir
Walter, looking at Symkin, Wollld'st
like to go to the wars, sirrah ?’
' I have had a longing that way for
some time, air Knight,’ replied Symkin ;
• but before I return you this purse, I
have to ask your pardon.'
* Granted, fellow—unlesc it be treason I’
cried the knight ‘ Speak on.’
* Sir knight,' said Symkin, ‘ I have in
my ignorance, spent some of the bright
money, and for that offence I crave your
pardon.’
* Pardon you,’ cried the knight j * heart
ily 1 but more of this anon.'
* And indeed, sir, I took not all that
you will Hnd wanting.’ Here Groundling
began to punch him vigorously. ’My
friend here, a constable of the watch, as
honest a soul as you may with to see, has
had bit feet out of it—some six pieces.'
‘Six pieces for fees, you rascal I’ cried
the knight raising his whip ; but Grund
ting, in spits of his sixe, made off in
double quick time, amidst the laughter of
all the men.
Symkin ssgerly embraced the offer of
Sir Walter to enter his band of men-st
orms, and was placed in the charge of
one of tbs others, with orders to be
equipped.
‘ May it please you, sir knight,’ said
Symkin, a little red, ' but I would like to
with good-bye to one with whom I have
bad a little difference before I leave.'
‘A lass, is it?’ said the knight, 'go
then, and Quickly.'
And tymhto aped off to Mother Minc
ing’s ; the dm thing ha did waa to take
that good woman in his arma, and kiss
her on both cheeks, and then did the
same to Joan.
* I’to not got tb# money,’ cried Sym
kin } ‘ita all gone, and I’m happy again.’
Alter many qneatkww «ft d cross-ques
tiona, the whole story cams out, and, for
a wonder, Mother Mincing believed it
♦let byname be bygewaa,* mid Sym
kin; ‘and yoff Will wall fop me, little
Joan, won't you ?'
•That I win.’ she replied. • t‘ll wait till
I’m 4(1 bid maid ; and you’ll forgive me
that foolish bus —'
Her mouth was somehow stopped st
this part ol her speech, and Symkin said :
4 lf I come back without any legs will
you love mo still f 4 She deferred She
would, and if noccasarv would wait fifty
years. And she did wait for him, although
not so long as that ; anil When he became
Sir Walter Callous bead Hingef, she be
came Mistress Slink.
When Symkin left the Golden Bell, lie
hastened to his own but, broke the pots
and pans in pieces, smashed the bench,
and made the plate k rifin. 1 this room,'
Mid he to himself, ’ has been witness to
my misery, and so, now things are bright
ening, it rosy go to limbo I’ And so we
all send our poverty-stricken rooms to
limbo when we grow rirh. Ignore that
high stool where we scribbled fur a ridic
ulously small salary ; erase thst needle
work from the tables of our memory ; blot
out the four-penny plate of alamode beef
and crust of bread, and so Symkin
smashed bis furniture.
He then took down the bag, folded it
carefully up, and placed It in hia pocket.
‘ Lie there, old boy,’ said he, patting it,
•you shall remind me of the vanity of
riches. Ah! I always thought I should
be exceeding glad when I had filled you
with gold, but I find I am exceeding glad
on emptying you.’
Judge Taney and hit Assailants-
Judge Taney has Anally subsided, after,
for the third time endeavoring to destroy
the Government If he again attempts
to impede the progress of the Adminis
tration, in ita efforts to sustain the Con
stitution and the laws, he vili certainly
he impeached; blit if he be content to be
a law-abiding citizen, he tci/l be permitted
to totter into the grate ifiithout being offi
cially branded a» a traitor. —Kew York
Timeo.
The first time Judge Tansy 44 endeav
ored to destroy the Government,” we sup
pose, was when he sustained Gen. Jackson
in the removal of the Deposites from the
corrupt custody of the Hank of the Uni
ted States. Tnc second time was when
he delivered the opinion of the majority of
the Supreme Court of the United Slates,
to the effect that neither Congress nor the
Territorial Legislatures could annul the
right of emigration with slaves to the Ter
ritories, and that the prohibition of slave
ry could only be made by the States.
The third time, is the issue of the writ
of hubtao corpus to bring before the civil
authorities, à citizen held by the military,
under a charge of treason. And for this,
he is threatened with impeachment ; and
assailed with coarse vituperation by the
sensasionist press !
We shall not defend him in this last in
stance, except to say that he would have
been worthy of impeachment if he had
refused to giant this great writ of freedom
to any citizen properly applying (or it.
That Act may be defied by the military
power; but it cannot be refused by Hie
Judicial power. Whatever necessities
may arise, amid the exigencies of the war,
itcan never become theduty of the Judges
to nullify the law.
We know how little anything we can
say can effect the headlong course of
events ; and how little the deprecation ul
any citizen can call public opinion intuits
old channel of respect for law, or the law
makers themselves to their duty of subor
dination to tlir Constitution.
The voice of rebuke will be heeded per
haps when it comes from abroad. The
passage of the Morrill tarrilf has done
much to alienate from us the good opinion
of the world. We wonder why England
does not rally to our side in the cause of
Constitutional Liberty! Thu Cause of
Constitutional Liberty I With what scorn
will not the phrase be echoed back to us,
coupled with reminders of our unwar
ranted and wholesale seizure of privalo
papers, the Executive assumption of power
to raisu armies end navies without re
course to the representatives of the peo
ple, and this nullification of the habtat
corpv», without the leave of Congress, or
the declaration of martial law. The his
tory of Constitutional Liberty in England
lias been for these rights thus disregarded
here ; and the citi/.cns of that country
will look with wonder at onr passivo sub
mission to these assumptions of power,
and with indignation at our hypocrisy in
still claiming to be the champions of Con
stitutional Liberty.— Albany Allal and
Argus.
The Extka Session of Conukkss. —lt is

Why should Congress debate in secret?
What is there to hide from the people, or
even from the enemy ? One of the accu
sations against the confederate Congress
was that it withheld its doings from the
public eye, and engineered its plots in the
dark. As to the measures which the
Representatives of the States and of the
people are to discuss, wc presume no one
has a right to limit them. The tariti' w ill
have to be modified, revenue secured,
taxes laid, and the state of our foreign
relations exhibited. Immense debts and
immense armies are not to be created
without providing for the extinguishment
of the one and the employment of the
other to the uses of war, and their dis
charge on the return of peace.— [Albany

“It is hot fur me to determine when
this struggle will end. But I inny say
how it shall end. Snorter or Inter it can
have but one conclusion, and that will be
when the disturbing cause which gave

If Secretary Cameron, in these words,
refers to the late Republican parte as “ the
disturbing cause,” which gave rise to the
pending struggle, we can assure him be
is in a fair way of seeing it obliterated.

About two vcirn «go, I left the vertice.
I was tired of It ‘ and as I wanted fonie
more ciciting employment. I Joined a
whaler. Wo were unlucky—somehow, I
bring no luck anywhere —and we were
nearly empty. Wo were cruising up here
to the North, and thinking of making for
hmtip, rts the *e«tlusr hdd Changed) and
the ice forms precious quick in these lati
tudes when it once begins. '1 he captain
naturally wanted to hang on to the last
for the chance of another haul.
One bright afternoon, just after eight
bells, I made Up the log, and took it to
the captain's rabin. I knocked at the
door, and aa nobody answered, I walked
in. I thought it odd the captain had not
answered me. Cor there he was, Bitting at
Ins desk, with hia back to me, writing.
Seeing he was employed, I told him I had
brought the log, Isid it down on the table
behind him, and as he made no answer I
walked out. I went on deck, and the
first man I met was the captain, I wa»
puzzled—l could not make out llbw he
got there before roc.
1 How did you get up here?’ I said, * I
just left you writing in your cabin.’
‘ I hare not been in my cabin for the
last half hour)' the captain answered ; but
thought he was chatting, and I did not
like it.
* There was some one writing at your
desk just now,’ I said ; ‘if it wasn’t you,
you had belter go and see who it was.
The log is made up. 1 have left it in
your cabin, sir;' and with that I walked
sulkily away. I had no idea of being
chaffed by the papUin, to whom I had
taken a dislike.
* Mr. Brown,’ said the captain, who
saw I waa nettled, 1 you must have been
mistaken, my desk is locked. But come,
we will go down and see about it.*
I followed the captain into the cabin.
The log was on the table, the desk waa
closed, and the cabin was empty. The
captain tried (be desk—lt was locked.
* You see, Mr. Brown,’ he said, laugh*
ing, ‘ you must have been mistaken, the
desk is locked.'
I was positive. ‘ Somebody must have
picked the lock,’ I said.
‘ But they couldn't have closed it again,'
the captain suggested ; • but to satisfy
you, I will open it, and see if tho con*
tents are safe, though there is nut much
hero to tempt a thief’
He opened the desk, and there—
stretched right across it—was a sheet of
paper, with the words ‘Steer N. W.'
written in an odd cramped llknd.
The captain looked at tho paper, and
then handed it to me.
•You are right, Mr. Brown; somebody
lias been here. This is some hoax.’
We sat there some time talking, and
trung to guesa what could be the object
of Such a Joke, if joke it was meant to
be. I tried to identify the back of the
man I had Been at the desk with that of
any of the crew. I could not do it. It
is true+htd at first taken the man for
the captain, but now points of difference
suggested themselves. 1 bad not looked
very attentively at the figure, but still I
was under the'impreasion that the coat it
had on was brown, find the hsir, which
appesred under the cap, seemed, as I re
membered it, to have been longer and
whiter than the captain’s.
Not to appear to suspect any one in
particular, the captain determined to have
up all the crew. We had them upone by
one. We examined them and made all
those who could write, write ‘Steer N.
W./ but we gained no clue. The mys
tery remained unsolved.
that evening 1 sat drinking my grog
with the captain in the cabin. We were
neither of us inclined to he talkative. I
tried to think of home, and the pleasure
it would be to see old England again, hot
still my thoughts always wandered hack
to that mysterious writing. I tried to
read, but I caught myself furtively peep
ing at the desk, expecting to see the fig
ure sitting there.
The captain had not spoken for some
time, and was sitting with his face buried
in his hands. At last he suddenly looked
up and said :
* Suppose we alter her course to North
west, Mr. Brown ?’
I don't know what it was ; I cannot
hope to make you understand the feeling
in my mind that followed these words ; it
waa a sense of relief from • horrid night
mate, I was ashamed of the childish
pleasure I felt, but I could not help an
swering eagerly, ‘Certainly; shall I give
the order ?’
I waited no longer, but hurried on deck
and altered the course of the vessel.
| It was a clear frosty night, and as I
I looked at the compass before going below,
I felt strangely pleased, and caught my
self chuckling and rubbing my hands—at
wlmt, I cannot say—l didn't know then,
but n great weight had been taken off my
! mind.
I went down to the cabin, and found
the captain pacing up and down the small
space. He stopped as I came in, and
looking up, said abruptly :
* It can do no harm, Mr. Brown.'
* If this breeZc continues,' I answered,
' we css hold on for thirty hours or so,
but then I should think— ’
* But then—we shall find icc. How’s
the wind?’
• Steady, north by cast.’
We sat down and finished our grog. I
had the morning watch to keep next day
I was 100 restless to sleep after it, so I
kept on deck tho whole of the day. Even
that did not satisfy me. I was continu
ally running into tho tops with my glass,
but every time I came down disappointed.
The second officer, I believe, thought us
both crazy ; indeed, 1 often wondered, my
self, at the state I was in. Evening came
and nothing trad turned up. The night
was bright, and the captain determined to
carry on under easy sail until morning.
4 Morning came, and with the first gray
' light I wtson deck. It was bitterly cold.
Those only who have seen them can farm
an idea ol the delicate lints of the morn
ing sky in those northern seas. But I
was in no humor to appreciate the beau
ties of nature. There was u mist low down
on the horizon ; I waited Impatiently for
it to lift. It lifted soon, and I could not
be mistaken—beyond it 1 could see the
shimmer of ice. I sent down to tell the
captain, who came on deck directly.
‘ It’s no use, Mr. Brown/ he said : ‘you
must put her about*
' Wait one moment, the mist it lifting
more, it will be quite deer directly.’
The mist was indeed lifting rapidly.
Far to the north and west we could aee
the ice stretching away in one Unbroken
field. I was tiring to aee whether there
appeared any break in (be Mb toward the
west, when the captain acising my arm
with one band, and pointing straight
ahead with lbs otbar. eaeWoed :
