Appeal.
From the Cincinnati Tim"n.
Knowing what is Conscientiously
Right, but doing what i.i Cou-
ecientiously Wrong.
The doctrine of expedienry is perlmpr.
the most foreign lo tho welfare of the
American government of any that luis
ever beel) introduced to the consi .leratioi.
of an enlightened people. Token in its
most liberal sense, it is nothing more
than knowing what is conscientiously
right, and doing what i conscientiouf-ly
wrong. Having its origin in a desire for
triumph without any consideration of
principle, it never can and nevr r should,
under a just dispensation, succeed in the
accomplishment of it3 object. Sncrlf.c
ing everything to a malignity that is un
justifiable when excited aeaitiM tmy p vow
ed fystem, it is dangerous in the tendency
it exhibits, and presents as results what
very true American will shrink from
when taken in connection with what the
true interests of the country retjuire.
We refer to this spirit in coonijiuir n
with the leoJing maniiestcu ny s me por-i
sons in regard to the election of Miu.Ann
Fillmore. Openly avowing that thoy
would prefer the election of the American
candidate to that of any other man, re
counting his former instances of ptiro nnd
unadulterated patriotism, lauding in the
highest terms his previous administration,
and holding it unecpialled by that of any
othereince the clays of Washington, they
will many of them proclaim iliir prefer
ence for such ocanlidate, and yet say
they must cast their vote lor either Cikii
anan or Fremont, because they fear Fill
more cannot be elected.
We know of no language' that will
sufficiently convey our estimation of the
insignificance of that soul that would
urge this worse than nonsensical excuse.
It bespeaks for its author a poverty of
pirit that will not allow him to sacrifice
petty prejudices to high and ennobling
principles, that Would array sectional
jealousies against his country's welfare,
and he stands on the unwarrantable posi
tion of the man that would sacrifice hi
own family to preserve the lifo of one of
his neighbors.
Taking another view of it, we would
hold that whatever a man believes to be
consciensiously rijrht, that should he do.
Whenever he departs from this principle
he becomesin this case a political tricks
ter, working for the sake ol power or
place, a political knave laboring for the xlcdy course; pn served the Constilu
., .I- i i i -.Li i -ntionof your cuii nt ril, gave, proa-to Hit
spoils, or a blinded dupe in the bands of
those who, are using him for their own sel
fish purposes.
The doctrine of whatever may he. will
be right, however correct it may be in
matters where a di vino power exercises
the , governing influence, when brought
into a political warfare, to the perpetua
tion or abolishment of temporal issues,
loses its force and power either in the past
or present; and it will require a different
kind of sophiftry from the polilica-priett-hood
to convince the people, than thnt
used by the same persons in the pulpit in
ihe futherance of their relisious doctrines.
Right it right whatever is net right
U vrrvng end all the labors of time and
eternity can never overthrow llie undying
truth that is cxprossed in the sentiment.
Thnt innri who will proclaim thnt ho
holds tho election of Millard Fillmoro to
bo just nnd right in the present crisis,
wrongs the judgment with which Cod en
dowed him, if ho refuses to cast his vote
for him. That mnn who consults his
own experience and feels thnt the Gov
ernment ot the present limn should only
bo trusted to the hnnds of one who has
proved himself sufficient for tho emergen
cy, nnd from this reasons that conscien
tiously ho should give him his vote, and
then refuses to do so, nets contrary to
the dictates of that renson, is unworthy of
the gift of that reason, nnd by the net
avows himself devoid of renson.
"Co sure you're riht, then go ahead. "
No truer principle was ever laid down for
,..vm...i,t-,u u. nny man. uas it
strictly a lln-rd to by tho masses, thosj
ooliiicit! tricksters who have t'ovcrnrd
the country for many years would lung

Wicked and Treasonable.
The. Mobile. Adorthcr, in replying lo
the declaration of the Mobile Register,
n Democratic pnper, thnt "the whole
Fillmoro movement in the South is
wicked nnd treasonable," has tho fi.
lowing which is not without interest
horo in this latitude. Jtsnys:
"The Fillmore movement in Alabama,
as well os ' in every other Slate of this
billion, is a movement for tho preserva
tion of the Union and tho Constitution
as they wero formed by our laihers; u
movement agninst the agitation of slave
ry by those who have no business with it,
and ro not interested in it: u movement
ngainstsectiounlisin and all mere section
nl candidates ; a movement to put down
all disunionists, fanatics and agitators,
North and South ; a movement to secure
tho rights of the South in the Union by
maintaining' the Constitution in all its
lorco iui,l vi-or as it was transmitted to
. by its framon in short, a movement
i 'rjM!irj uerpottiity of lha Union. To this
. i it
en i, incy are supptrting a candi.ifiie
who boldly declares: '! never can con
sent too.! one thing to the Nordi and an
other lo tho .South." "1 know only my
country, my vvholu country, and nothing
but my country." To support such a
nvu is "wicked" ami "treasonable," is it?
Ah, i! undouh'oiily, in the eotimation
ol those whose lives have been spent in
laboring to liisiiolvo the Union striving
to weaken the ties thai bind together its
various parts. The Disunionists of the
South, as well as the abolitionists of the
North, doubtless, look upon evory move
moui, tho oil'ect of which is to defeat their
"wicked" schea:es of disunion, as "ireu
The
election o i
would destroy forever all their cherished
hopes; hence, in their eyes, "the whole
Fillmore movement" is "wicked and i rea
sonable." The Mobile Register, howev
er, is ih e first paper, North or Soudi,
wli'ch has had the unblushing audacity lo
put the stati'iuent on pnocr."

The Dying PIozart.
Wolfearg Mozart, the great German
otnposjei'.di.-d at Viena in the year
n!U. There is t.omething beautiful
and touching in the circumstances of
bis death. I J is sweetest song was the
Inst, the Reaguiem. He had been em
p'oyed upon this exquisite piece for
several weeks, his soul filled with the
richest ineJody, and nlrcp.dy claiming
kindred with immortality. Aficr giv
in;, it ila las!; touch and breathing inW
it that undying spirit of song which
waslo consecrate it through all time
as the "syyiifMin strain," he fell into a
;;eiith: and quiet slumber. At length
the light footstep of his daughter Em
elie awoke him.
"Come hither," said he, "my Emelte
my task is done, the Requiem my
Requiem is finished."
"Soy not so, my dear father," said
the gentle girl, interrupting him as
lean '.ood i't her eyes. "You must be
holier you look better, for even now
your cheek has a glow upon it 1 am
sure we will nurse you well again let
me bring you something refreshing."
"Do not deceive yourself, my love,"
''li,Llietlyiii''iuthcr,"t;iisw-a;tinfbrm
can never b:' restored by human a h
t . , ,
a' loin heaven 8 mercy alone do I look
lor aut, :n tins my liyiny hour. You
.-.poke of refreshment---take these here
and sin-g with them the hymn of your
saniled mother; 1st me once more hear
those sainted tones Which have been
so long my solace and delight."
Emelie obeyed, and with a voice en
i ic'l with tenderest motion, sung the
following .'stanza.-:
Spirit! thy labor is over!
Thy term of probation is run,
Thy steps a re now bound fur the untrodden
shore,
And tho race of immortal's beg-un.
j Spirit! look not on the strife,
Ur the piea- ures ol the earth with re ret,
Pause not on 'he threshold of limbehie;
To mourn for the day that is set.
Spirit! no fetters can bind,
No wickel have power to molest,
There the weary like ihe wretched shall Cnd
A heaven, a mansion of rest,
Spirit! how bright is ihe roan'
For winch thou art now onthv wins,
Thy home will l,e with ihy Savior'and God,
Their loud hallelujah to sing.
As she concluded, she dwelt for a
moment upon the low, melancholy
noies of the piece, and (hen turned
from the instrument to meet the ap
proving smile of her father. It was
the still pass'loiihss smile which the
wrapt ami joyotis spirit left with the
seal of Death upon his features.

dock's defeat, anil can remember many
incident? of ihe Revolutionary war. She
has been perfectly blinl for thirty years,
but can walk about the house and yard
with no other assistance than a walking
stick.
