Dr. Outlining, of Boston, one of the
ablest and fairest of the many gifted men
of the North,' sud thirty four years ago,
that the great passion of the South was for
political power, while the great pardon of
the North was for money. We give his
language in the contrast, which lie made,
between the North and the South. ** The
South,’’ said he, “ has abler politicians, and
almost necessarily so, because its opulent
class makes politics the bumness of life.
* * In the South, an unnatural state of
things turns men’s thoughts to political as.
ccndency, hut in the Free States, men think
little cf it. "Property is the good for which
they toil perseveringly from morning to
night. Even the ]>olitical partisan among
us has an eye to property, and seeks office,
as the best, perhaps, only way of subsis
tence.’’ This is a pretty trank confession
from a Northern scholar, that Northern
politicians seek office, mainly, in order to
make money thereby. It reads very mncli
like prophecy in the revelations of the last
few years of Credit Moliilicr, Emma Mine
Stock, Seneca Stone Contracts, Whisky-
Ring frauds, Pacific Mails subsidies, and
sales ot Sutler’s posts, etc., etc But while
Dr. Channing gave the distinction in the
characteristics of the two sections with
great fairness, he did not give the philoso
phy of that distinction. We might still in
quire why does the North covet money and
the South political power ? We think that
the solution of the problem is to he found
in the density of the popula ion in tiic one
section and the sparseness ot population iu
the other, with all the modifying influence
brought in by this difference of population.
The North has devoted itself from necessity
to commerce and tiic mechanic arts; the
South has devoted itself to a pure agricul
ture. In rural districts, there may be great
stinginess and meanness, butgreed of money
is not a prominent vice, and great wealth
is almost unknown. The temptation is
wanting, and therefore, the vice is not
found. Literature and the arts and the
sciences arc not cultivated to a high point

If we come to the war of ;1812, Harrison
and Jackson, beyond, alt question, gained
the most laurels, *as shown % the elevation
of both of them Jo the Presidency for their
military prowess. All concede that the
brilliant land-fights of that war were in the
defences of New Orleans, Jtbhile, Craney
Island and Baltimore, ami m these, on the
American ride, none. but Southern troop*
were engaged.. This war was unpopular
at the North, and the defection of New
England, amounted almost to overt treason.
Hence, the South furnished again more than
her proportion of .troops. Again, the
Sontnern volunteers flocked North, while
no Northern troops came South. If we
read of -the bloody .batj^v in Canada, we
are struck with the number of Southern
officers there engaged, mostly General offi
cers, .Wilkinson, lizard,' Winder, Drayton,
Hampton, Scott, Towsgp, P- ookc, Gaines,
4c. Kentucky, I belie* Varnished mort
troops than any State, for the'invasion o!
Canada. On the authority of the Southern
Review, I state, without investigating the
truth of it, that Maryland furnished more
of the Naval heroes of the war of 1812,
than did any other State in the .Union. It
is very certain that the Sonth contributed
more than her quota of land troops. Not
only was the war popular at the South, but
the laboring class being slaves, more of the
citizen soldiery were able to take up arms.
For the same reason, the supplies in the
Revolution and in the war of 1812, came
largely from the South. Botta’s history
shows how dependent the army, under
Washington, was for supplies from Virginia
and the South.
In the Mexican war, the commanders, on
bftth sides, were Virginians, one of whom
became President, and the other an unsuc
cessful candidate for the Presidency. Two-
thirds of the volunteer troops forthat war
were from the Sonth, and not
Southern regiment ever Indtaved badly - in
action. Two-thirds of the first brevet ap
pointments, given for gallantry on the field,
were bestowed upon Southeru-born officers.
I allude to those first given, and not to the
second or third hatch, procured through
political influence. The volunteer Brigadier,
most distinguished in that war, was Lane,
of North Carolina. The volunteer regi
ments that won mo-t eclat, were Davis’
Mississippi and Butler’s South Carolina.

4 years and Fillmore three. The second
Adams was not the choice of the people, and
was elected by the House of Representatives.
Mr. Fillmore was elevated by the death of
President Taylor. So up to the period of
the new kind of voting, the people had really
never elected but four Northern men to the
Presidency. It is remarkable, too, that the
people have repudiated the administration ot
every Northern President, not one of them
Ll ipg re-elected, and a different political
rty always succeeding them in power,
save in the case of Mr. Pierce, a Democrat,
who was succeeded by Mr. Buchanan, a.soa
Democrat. On the other hand, five South
ern Presidents were re-elected, and all of
them were succeeded by Presidents of the
same political faith, except perhaps Mr.
Polk, who was succeeded by Gen. Taylor,
upon no party platform. The country en-
dorsad Polk’s administration and did not
repudiate him, as he declined a renomination.
Another curious fact is this, that every
Northern President had associated with him
a Southern man, as Vice-President. Thus
John Adams had Thomas Jefferson; Johu
Quincy Adams had J. C. Calhoun; Martin
Van Buren had R. M. Johnson; Pierce had
Wm. R. King; Buchanan had J. C. Bracks
inridge. On the other hand, Jackson served
one term with J. C. Calhoun, Harrison and
Tyler, his associates, were both from Vir
ginia, and Lincotu and Johnson were both
from the South. Of these same 80 years,
the South had a Chief Justice on the Su
preme Court Bench for 63 years, or more
than thiee-fourtbs of the time. The purity
and wisdom of these Southern Justices made
them the pride of the nation.
All the wars, foreign and domestic, have
been under the conduct and control of
Southern horn Presidents; the war of 1812;
the Algerine war; the Black Hawk war;
the Seminole war; the war of the second
rebellion.
All the acquisitions of territory have
been under Southern Presidents by which
the size of the United States has been
doubled; Louisiana, Florida, Texas, New
Mexico, California and Alaska. The New
England States resisted all tiiese acquisitions
except the last.
Thu political studies of the South all led
to freedom and Southern statesmen have
always been on the side of popular right*.

Southern statesmen were nfer rash, hot
headed and intemperate in language, but
they would not steal and they enuld not be
bought by a Ring. This Southern leaven
leavened the whole lump. The Supreme
Court was incorruptible and not ns now, a
(artisan body. The Senate was more dig
nified than the English House of Lords.
Schemes of public plunder were not devised
and executed in the House of Representa
tives. No one was ever charged with selling
his vote for money. No Foreign Minister
prostituted his office to sell Emma mine
stock or Sally mine stock. So for as I can
remember, only one fraudulent claim on a
large scale was ever attempted and upon its
exposure by Col. Payne of North Carolina,
the fraudulent claimant killed himself with
Prussic acid.
The South is gradually getting rid of the
ruffian scum, who have so long plundered
and disgraced her. The voices of some of
her sops are being heard in the Halls of
Congress. We trust that the time may uot
be far distant when the influence of South
era statesmanship will be felt in the councils
of the nation, rebuking bribery and roguery,
elevating the publio morals and purifying
the Government. To effect these great ob
jects, we must send forward our best nten,
not firewaters and braggarts, we confess that
we had a few of that class, but hot shot and
shell reversing the order of nature cooled
their fiery temperaments. We want not
Gascons, but Southern gentlemen, honorable,

The Mischief of a Telegram.
HOW A MATCH WAS ALMOST SPOILED.
Jennie Johnson went flying down stairs
at tho ring of the door bell. “ It’s a tele
gram,” she said to Melissa, on returning.
‘I knew Hopper’s ring—Hopper’s th<-
Messenger.’
* Not a telegram for me I hope,’ said
Melissa, looking upfront her work. ‘Ido
hate the sight of one; they always set my
teeth on edge, aud make the hair of my
flesh sta d up. You don’t think anything
has happened to to Ledyard ?’
‘ Certainly not; it’s addressed to Led

* And you are opening it ?’
* lie gives me permission to read his tele
grams when he’s oat of town, so that I may
forward them if important. You’ll hav

pose.’
Aud then Jennie relapsed into utter
silencc for full t it minutes, while Melissa
fidgeted aud coughed and wondered what
it was all about, too proud to tusk until
anxiety constrained iier.
‘Something must have happened to Led
yard, I snow,’ she cried. ‘ Whv don’t you
speak, Jennie ? Wh • do you look so—so
distracted? Let me read it It is my
right, Jeuuie!’
‘Yes,’ said Jennie, slowly, ‘it is your

‘Not read 1 Do yon think I am selfish

Give it to me this minute Jennie.’
Oh, I don’t believe you nave any idea
what it is. It’s worse than death. Here,
read it, if you will. I hope I am not doing
wrong to allow it. And Melissa read :
To Dr. Ledyard Johnson:
Dearest—My pareuts consent at last.
Come to ine before my heart breaks, if you
still love your Emilie.
Melissa put it down without a tremor.
Jennie dared not look at her.

as hollow as the whispers ot a sea shell, ‘ of

Dr. Ledyard had been expected home
that night, but after Melissa had departed
Jennie received a note saying that he shotdu

scccct from, him, Jennie intending a sur
prise. When they heard his ring, Melissa
was to step behind the statue of Ariadne,
and while Ledyard warmed his hands o
the b:aze at the hearth and dilated on the

•ut one delight lacking, that one delight in

shadow of Ariadntf into the warmth of fire

drama that Jennie had planned failed oi
performance, and when Ledyard’s note
arrived, she enclosed Em lie’s tolegTam to
his address, having written on tho other
ride of the sheet:
Melissa has been visiting iiere. We in
tended a pleasant surprise for you instead
of which there was an ugly contretemps.
She left instantly. Your sorrowful sister.
Jennie.
But in her agitation, Miss Jennie, who
was always just a hit careless, though lcinu
hearted enough, directed her letter to East
instead of West Babylon street, Jnumber
nne instead , of ninety, and therefore—it
being prior to tho present postal arrange*

received it. Judge his surprise then, when,
having written to Melissa in his usual vain,
his love letter was returned to him un
opened 1
I should like just to know what he sayi
about it’ Melissa had pleaded; ‘how hi
excuse^ himself’ Having utterly resigned
him, site was just dying for one word of
affectionate apology and appreciation. Jin
her own heart she had already excused him,
had pieced up a sentimental story for his
apology. He bad loved Emilio first, but a

woman, who .-dways carried her point, the
letter was returned.
t)r. Ledyard posted down to Dnverby in*
stoutly to inquire into the affair and was
told that Melissa had left town, and her
mother was indisposed she having set t
Melissa away on a visit to divert her mind.
At his wit’s end Ledyard wrote on his card,
* Will Mrs. Vaughn give me Melisda’a ad
dress ?” To which she replied:
Under the circumstances, Mrs Vaughn
thinks it wise to withhold her daughter’s ad*
sf’OnDr. John.-’n, and she is greatly
surprised at his importunity—</«>• all.
Fairly puzzled, and uot a little angry, Dr.
Ledyard returned to town. He had no
heart or people did-not die needlessly, though v
he was dying by inches himself. He knew
that it was not a grief to kill outright, but
it threatened to be a lifelong anguish. He
had long known that the ambitious Mrs.
Vaughn did not regard him as a brilliant
match for her beautiful daughter; but that
Melissa could disown her love was incompre
hensible.
It would he a sorry Christmas for him,
. deed, but he thought it best to leave his
patients in the hands cf his assi a •<*, and
run down to Haven to keep it witu Jennie.
When one has lost a sweetheart, a sister is,
perhaps, the next best thing.
But he found Jennie somewhat changed,
too; she was by no means in her sprightly
vein; she had nothing for him but half
smiles. He wondered, secretly if jJ e had
ever expet fenced a like dissatisfaction with
life, of which he had never dreamed before.
They were an uncommunicative family,
he knew, and sisters and brothers much
more readily repose sentimental confidences
in straneere than each other. To be sure,
Jennie hail hutig the Christmas wreaths in
the window. There was a goodly store of
dainties in the pautry, too._ Bui there was
little of Christmas cheer besides, though the
frost was on the window pane, the old
church hells sainted the Christmas eve with
crocked, hut jubilant voices, and the moon

Dr. Ledyard stood before the blaring
hearth, thinking what a different night it.
might have been had Melissa continued
true; wondering what she was doing; if the
firelight still flushed her cheek in the low
pallor; if she and Lennox March still sung
together sweet Christmas choruses. He
was thinking thus bitterly, when a sharp
ring at the aoor started both brother and
ister from their reveries.
‘ Hopper’s ring,’ said Jennie. She had
never exchanged word with Ledyard about
the telegram. If he did not choose to men
tion it and explain why should should she?
How could she? She hail not the courage.
But sitting there, it struck her that he was
locking worn and depressed, and it was oo
her lips to say something comforting, when
the little servant entered with a little enve
lope. -
A telegraph doctor, said she.’
I hope they havn’t called me back to the
city—no urgent case I trust. Humph;
poor thing, poor thing,’ and he tossed the
telegram upon the table.
‘Isanyone ill?* said Jennie. ‘Must you
go?’
‘ Oh no; it’s the same old story. Read it
if you wish.
Jennie took it and read—
7b Dr. Ledyard Johnson:
Dearest—My parents consent to it at last.
Come'to me before my heart breaks, if you
still love your Emilie.
Then she looked up at Ledyard, who
seemed to have forgotten all about it. He
was still standing before the fire, looking at
the picture of the ‘ sleeping Palace,’ hanging
over the mantle.
That’s a capital thing Jennie; do you
know it? One would think the artist had
visited the sleep shops. It’s the genuine
blue sleep. See this old senescual, who was
about to blow his trumpet when the enchant
ment siezed'him, with his two cheeks dis*-
tended. And there comes the fairy prince
with a feather in their hats ?’
• But the telegram P gasped Jennie'.
•The telegram? " Oh, yes. Sad isn’t it?’
Oh, ii’s the same; the very same.
Then you have seen it before I thought
t was probable. She’s as mad as a March

doorway—or could it. be Melissa Vaughn,
a raped in ermine and crowned with smiles ?’
* I heard ever word of it.’ said the phan-
ora of Melissa; ‘so much for eavesdrop'
ping; but then, to be sure, it was ah old
story. I bad heard it before. Dr. Right-
alion is ray godfather, you know—Godfathers
always bring gifts in the fairy books. So
this morning at breakfast we happened to be
talking of insauity and by the way, Melissa’
said he, ‘there’s a rival’of yours at tbe
Guinness Hospital. Thera’s an Emilie St.
Raymond in love with your Dr. Johnson—
sends him telegrams by the armful of the
lovingest sort. It’s lucky you aren’t jealous;
but bless me she’s as mad as Hamlet—been
so this twenty years—perfectly harmless,
though.’ Do yon know Ledyard she pur
sued, coming toward him and putting out
her hands ‘Ieould’t spsak a word. The
tears just filled my eyes, thinking how I had
sentenced you without a hearing. Don’t
they look terrible red? 1 .
They look terrible beautiful, he said, kiss*
ing the bent brow. It seemed to him that he
was beginning to see through the fog.
‘ And mamma,’ continued Melissa, * who
is hard upon evil doers, but kind hearted
withal, said I must run right down this
Christmas eve and make it straight through
Jenuie—for we thought you were at Babylon
street still—and she is waiting in the hall
hoping you will forgive us.
• I will go and help her to take off her
wraps,’ sata Jennie, leaving the lovers alone.
And so the curtain falls ? Nay, rises re-
weaving a happy Christmas eve in the store
for I)r. Johnson and Miss Vaughn.
