Independent Order of Good Templar?, 1 a Noble Work Begun.' It was our pleasure by invitation, to look in for a few momenta on Friday night, at a social entertainment given by tbo (.boro Association, at their elegant new ball, in the Powell building. It was a gathering unique in itself, and differing widely from those scenes of re- veby, where, the motto is, “on with the dance,” and ** wine and wassail/’ and the deliriun of music, and the blandishments of the fashionable ball room, too often in spire tastes and habiis, which end in har vest of shame ami humiliation. On this occasion a goodly band of ladies and gentlemen were assembled, representing life in all its stages, most of whom wore the cliasto regalia of the order. It waa ono of those rational, pleasant, so cial reunions, which do 30 much to ele vate and refine the tone of society. Soon tho barriers of reserve, melted away, and broken into knots, or pro menading the spsciotut apartment, the hours passed in sprightly conversation enlivened by spicy repartee and joyous laughter. ... , .

Immediate steps were taken to form u lodge in this city, and from that feeble beginning, a numerous and in fluential society now exists, whieh has secured, painted and decorated a beauti ful hall, and is in the full tide of sue cess. Already the good it haswronght inoui community will strike the most casual observer, and it is not too much to hope that under its auspices a great social and moral reform will be inaugurated, whose benefits eternity can never efface. One pleasing feature in this order is the introduction of ladies as members. Already a godly number are enrolled up on its books, and their influence must tend greatly to give vitality and perma- I lienee to the institution. In conclusion, we would wish the In dependent Order of Good Templars God speed in their glorious works, and lies peak for them the warmest sympathy and snpport of onr entire eommnmty.— Cuthba-t Appeal 2&1. Back Boors. The Cincinnati Times hao the annexed: A man staggered into our sanctum this morning who boro the appearance of hav ing boon badly used. His hat was gone, his clothes soiled, and his faco dirty, bloated, and disfigured with wounds.— Dropping promiscuously into a chair, he hoarsely murmured: 4 * Back doors. ” “What is the matter, with j fellow Y‘ we enquired. “Back doors, I tell ye, (hie,) tha’s wha’s er raa’er.” “Explain yourself.” “Bead Mayor’s or’er dosing iron*door i’loons Snn’y, didn't ye ?” Advice to Young Hen. There is no harm in a certain moder ate and occasional amount of innocent pleasure. But a young man who has his own way to carve in life, can spare neith er tbo tune, the strength, nor the expense of much social pleasure. In the country, where the style of living is simple, one can get all the gsyety he needs without spending much money. We recommend to every young man who is starting in life the most rigorous economy in expen ses; in clothes food nod equipment— Young men usually do not take their measures of economy from what they can actually endure, but from what society around them is accustomed to demand. By far the greater number of young men have only their hands, their good character, and their mother-wit for cap ital. (Success will require ingenuity, in dustry, and rigorous economy. The practice of these q oolite* for ten years ought to put a sensible man on good fonn- dation, on which ha can build an endu ring prosperity. But if a young mac. must have three orfoar * outings” a year; f he must join various societies which taxJuffcalemlav rasootoes severely; if ha must be counted upon for parties, balls, suppers, or drinking bouts; if he must pay for billiards and prime cigars, lie will find uphill work to savo enough to make liis mid-life and old age com fortable. Yonth may be the time ior pleasure, but that is 110 reason why a man should squander the best part of his life. Youth is good for pleasure; but is the veiy tirao too, for learning, for work, or self-discipline. And pleasure itself does not heed to be peculiarly expensive. Do not be ashamed to economise, no m&tter what the girls think, nor wliat the boys think. Build yourself up in intelli gence and sound morals. Acquiring an honorable competence, yon will have a chance to lend money to the fools that ridicule vour rigid economy and your scrupulous employment of them. _ Resolved that except the most impera tive necessities required for health aud strength, yon will not spend a penny, either, for charity or luxury, except out of yonr income. Earn your money be fore you spend it. Tho effect of this will bo to curb all expensive impulses, and reduce your actions in the spending of money, to a conscientious rule. We believe that sixteen men out of every twenty that begin life poor, remain so to the end of life; but that every one of these sixteen earned enough; if it had been saved, to have made himself entirely in dependent. Foolish spending is tho father of pov erty. Do not be ashamed of hard work. Work for the best salaries or wages you can get, but work for half price rather than l>e idle. Bo yonr own master, and do not let society or fashion swallow up your individuality—hat, eoat, and boots. Do not eat up and wear out all that you earn. Compell your selfish body to spare something for profits saved. Be stingy to your own appetite, but merciful to others’ necessities. Help others, aud ask no help for yourself. See that yon are proud. Let your pride be of the right kind. Be too proud to be lazy; too proud to give up without conquering every difficulty; too proud to .wear a coat that you cannot afford to bay; too proud to be in company that yon cannot keep up with its expenses; too proud to lie, or steal, or cheat; too proud to lie stingy.— Home Journal.

Carter; follow mo as Daring the summer of 1814 tho British had not only laid claim to all *l»«t por tion of the district of Maine lying east of the Penobsoot, but Admiral Griffith and Sir. John Sherbrooke, the latter then being Governor of-Nova Scotia, hat been sent with a heavy force to take possess ion, and occupied the town of Castine, which place commands the entrance of the Penbbseot river. Shortly before the arrival of the English squadron, Com modore Samuel Tucker has been sent around to Penobscot Bay to protect th? American coasters, and while the British sailed up to Castine he lay at- Thomsa- town. It was a schooner that the Commodore commanded, Lot she was a very heavy one,.weB armed and manned; and that she carried tho true Yankee 44 grit" upon her deck, the enemy had many proofs. On the morning of the 28th of Angnst a messenger was sent down from Belfast f hough nothing had happened.” with tho intelligence that the British frig- " “ftartin.” ate was coming from Castine to taka him. Tncker knew that the British feared him, and also that Sir John Brooke hail offer ed a large amount for their capture. When tho Commodore received the in telligence his vessel was lying at the lower wharves, where he would have everything in readiness to get her off as soon as possible, for he had no desire to moot the frigate. Tho schooner’s keel wus just cleared from the mud, aud ono of them had been X n the wharf to cast off tho bowline, n a wagon, drawn by ono horse, came rattling down to the spot. Tho driver, a rongh-looking countryman, got out upon the wharf, and then assisted a mid dle-aged woman from tho vehicle. The lady’s first inquiry was for Commodoro Tucker. Ho was pointed out to her, and she stepped upon the schooner’s deck und approached him. "Commodore,” she asked “when do yon soil ?” “We sail right off, ns soon as possible, madam.” “Oil, then, I know* you will be kind to me." the ladynrged in pursnasive tones. “My ]K>or husband died yesterday, and I wish to cany liis corps to Wiscasset, where we belong, and where his parents will take care of it.” “But, my good woman, I shan’t go to Wisccsset.” “If you will land mo at the mouth of tho Sneei>oeot, I will ask no more; I can easily find a boat there to take me up.” “Where is tbo body asked Tuck- ‘tto, not» bit. Just hark a bit. The ’omnn ain’t no ’oman.” *• The Commodoro pronounoed the name of lna Satanic Majesty in the mast piratic manner. “He the truth, Commodore—I can swer r fo it.

The diet should be composed large ly or entirely of fruits, fresh vegetables, an<l wheat-meal bread, and other prepa rations of wheat and oatmeal Cornmeol bread and cakes should be seldom eaten, if at all, during hot weather. Avoid all stimulating or heating articles of food, as meats, especially fat or salted meats, butter, gravies, and greasy food of nil kinds, sugar, mustard, spices, etc. Do not eat hot food, and especially avoid eat- *'* g more than the system requires. 2. Drink nothing but water, and that only a small quantity at a time. OJ course this precludes the use of tea, cof fee and all tho alcoholio drinks. 3 The clothing should bo light, light colored, loose fitting, and changed often. 4. The entire body should be bathed every day, either in the morning or at night.

The Advocate says one of the women swore that the negroes declared they had been A Lofty Feeling of Hope. The abundant wheat crop which basal- ready, for the most part, yielded to the sickle, throughout East Tennessee, to gether with the immense breadth of oats and corn, which promises renumerative returns, have inspired a degree of hope of a prosperous future, that cannot fail to lift our suffering section from her former despondent condition, and to push her forward in her renewed attempts to repair her broken fortunes. A few weeks will develop a wido spread cheerfulness among all classes, but no class will feel it so sensibly and so gratefully ns the farmers. Their lot, at best is a hard ono—ono of incessant toil and ceaseless anxiety; and, if they fail at any time, in their crops, they have nothing to fall bark upon.— For ono year they must livo strictly, within their income. The present prosperous year will ena ble them to pay their taxes, to meet many of their outstanding obligations, to open up fresh land, and to repair their old fences, to build new ones, and po, their premises in good erder. Not only this, but they will have some surplus funds with which to replenish their scanty sup ply of stock. We should not be aston ished if many of them went to Kentucky, er to Virginia to purchase thorough bred cattle, horses and sheep. We know of some few who have already done this. Two or three, from -this county, have done so, and several from Hawkins coun- 5* crops will contribute vastly to stimulate the fanners to improve their •todLfor which there is ample room. Eaai Tennessee is considerably behind in this regard, so much so, indeed, that ahe should^ regret it, and exert herself to do better in the future. After all, we now look forward to a brighter future, at least, for the ea year. ,The farmers need not be ala about low prices for their products.— Everything in the shape of breadttofib, as we confidently believe, will bear remu nerative prices; and, especially* wheat— Knoxville Whij. “ In the wagon,” returned the ladv, at the same time raising the corner ot her ahawl to wipe away the gathered tears. “ I have a sum of monoy with me, and yon shall be paid for your troublo.” “Tut, madam; if I accommodate yon there won’t be any pay about it.” The kind-hearled Commodore was not io man to refuse a favor; and though he liked not tho bothor of taking tho wo man on board, yet he could not refuse. When he told her he would do as she re quested, she thanked him with tears in her eyes. Some of the men were sent on the wharf to bring the body on board. A long buffalo robe was lilted off by the man who drovo the wagon, and beneath lay a neat black coffin. Some words were passed by the men, as they were putting the coffin on board, which went to show very plainly that the affair did not exact ly suit them. It may have been from prejudice on their part; but then seamen should be allowed a little prejudice once in a while, when we consider tho stern realities they have to encounter. “Hush, my good men,” said tho Com modore, as lie heard their murmurs. Suppose you were to die away from home—would yon not wish that your rp- moirs might bo carried to your parents ? Come, hurry now.” Tho men said no more; and ere long the coffin was placed in the hold, and the woman was token into the cabin. In less than half an hour tho schooner was cleared from the wharf and standing ont from the bay. Tho wind was light from the eastward, bnt Tucker had no fear of the frigate, now that he was out of the bay. In tho evening the lady passenger came on deck, aud the Commodore assured her that ho would be able to land early the next morning. Sho expressed her gratitude and satisfaction, aud remarked that before she retired she wonld like to look and see that her husband'* corpse was safe. This request waa of coarse readily granted,and one of,them was lifted off the hatch that sho might go down into tho hold. “I declare,” muttered Dan Carter, old sailor, who was at tho wheel, “she takes on dreadfully!” 44 Yes, poor tiling !” said Tucker, when he heard her sobs and groans. ‘ Dye notice what’n eye she's got ?” continued Carter. “No,” said Tncker, ‘‘only it .ollen with tears.” “ My eyes ! but they shone, through, when she stood here looking at the com pass !” Tucker smiled at the loan’s quaint earnestness, aud, without further remark, be went down to the cabin. When the woman came up from the hold, she looked about the deck of the schooner a few moments, and then went aft There was something in her countenance that puzzlod Carter. Ho had been one of those who objected to the coflin’s being brought on board, and hence wus not predisposed to look favor ably upon its owner. The woman’s eye ran over the schooner’s deck with a strange quickness, and Carter eyed her veiy sharply. She went to tho taff-rail and looked over at the stem boat, and then she came and stood by the pinnacle again. “Look ont, or you’ll jibe the boom,” uttered the woman. Carter started and found that the main il was shivering. Ho gave the helm couple of spoken apart and then cast his eye* again on the woman, whose features e lighted by the pinnacle-lamp. Thank’ee, ma’am,” said Dan. “Ha, bold on—why, bless my soul there’s a big spider right on your hair. Not—not there. Here—I’ll—ugh !” This last ejeeulation Dan made os he seemed to pull something from the wo man's hair, which he threw npon the deck, with the “ugh 1” above mentioned. Shortly after, the passenger went be low, and ere long Tucker came on deck. “Commodoro,” said Carter, with a re markable degree of eagerness in bis man ner, “is the ’oman tanted * “I rather think so,” said Tucker, look ing at .the compass. “Look out 1 look out!

The two approached the main hatch er* stooped to raise it, when Dan’absnd touched a small ball that seemed to have been pinned up after breaking of the liatcii. i ‘ ; It’s a ball of twine,” said he. “Don’ttouch it, bnt run end get a lantern,” replied Tucker. Carter sprang to obey, and when ho hail returned a number of the men had gathered around the spot. The hatch was raised, and the Commodore carefully picked up the ball of twine and found that it was made fast to something below. He descended to the hole, aqd there he found the twine ran beneath the lid of the coffin. Ho had no doubt in his mind now that there was mischief boxed below; and ho sent Carter for something that might answer for a screw-driver. The man soon returned with a short knife, and the Commodore set to work. He worked very carefully, however, nt the same time keeping a bright lookout for the string. At length the screws were out, and the lid carefully lifted from its place. “Great Heavens!” burst from the lips of Commodoro. “ I know’d it!” uttered Dau. The two men stood for a moment and gazed into the coffin. There was no dead man there, but in place thereof there were materials for the death of a score. The coffin was filled with gunpowder aud pitchwood! I'pon alight framework in the centre were arrainged four pistols cocked, and the string entering tho coffin from without communicated with the trigger of each. The first movement of the Commodore was to call for water, and when it was brought he dashed three or four buckets full into the infernal contrivance, and then he breathed morel freely. “No, no,” he uttered, us ho leaped from the hold. “ No, no—my men. Do nothing rashly. Let me go into the cab- flrst Yon may follow me.” Commodore Tucker strode into the cabin, walked up to tho bank where his passenger lay, and grasping hold of the female dress, ho dragged its wearer out upon the floor. There was a sharp resis tance, and the passenger drew a pistol, but it was quickly knocked away—the gown was tom off, and the man came forth from the remnants of the calico and linen. The fellow was assured that his whole plot had been discovered; and at length ho owned that it had been his plan to turn out in the course of night and get hold of the ball of twine, wluch ho had lift in a convenient place; he then intend* ed to have gone aloft, carefully onwind- ing the string as he went along; then to have got into the boat, cut the falls, and, as the boat fell into tho water, he wonld hnve pulled smartly upon tbe twine. “ And I think you know,” ho contin- ed, with a wicked look, “wliat would have followed. I shouldn't havo been noticed in tlio fuss—Fd have got out of the way with the boat, and you’d have been in tho next world in short order.— And all that I can say is, that I’m sorry didn't do it” It was with mnch difficulty that the Commodoro prevented liis men from killing the villain on the spot He proved to be ono of the enemy’s officers, and was to hava a heavy reward if he suc ceeded in destroying tile Commodore and his crew. Tho prisoner was carried on deck and lashed to tlio main rigging, where he was told to remain nntil the vessel got into port In the morning, when Tucker on deck, Sequin was in sight upon the starboard bow; when he looked for the prisoner he was gone. “Carter where’s the villain Hashed here last eight ?” “I’m sure I don’t know whero ho is, Commodore, Ferhaps he’s jumped ovei board.” The old Commodore looked stearnly i Carter’s eyes, and saw a twinklo of satis faction gleaming there. He hesitated a moment, then he turned away, and mut tered to himself: Well, well—I can’t blame them. If tho murderous villain’s gone to death, he’s only met a fate ho richly- deserved.

A Letter from tbe Grand Worthy Chief Templar. Columbus, Ga., June 1st, 1870. To the Lodge Deputies (tf the L 0. (tf Ct. T. t In the State ctf Georgia : Brothers.—I congratulate each of you for the valuable services rendered our cause by your hearty endeavors to ex tend onr order throughout our State. In making my appointments of Lodge Dep uties I have been governed by the ex press wishes of the Lodges. It gives me great pleasure in saying, that most of you have been prompt in your returns. My correspondence with you baa been pleasant—yet there arc a few of you who have neglected to send in yonr returns promptly. I trust I need only call your attention to the fact and its great import tance, to prevent its occurrence in the future. It is very desirable that Lodge Deputies should seud in their reports immediately after the installation of the officers: onr order is rapidly increasing in the State—already wo number over three thousand members—still, to extend the order it requires time and money and personal sacrifices from the Lodge Dep uties to advance our noble order. Much yery much is expected of each of you, and I know I do not call in vain whon I call on you for help. And now I want each of you to get up a new lodge in your re spective counties, and each of you shall liavo a special commission to institute the same. So get them up by securing a petition and the charter fee of $10, and send both to our much beloved Grand Lodge Secretary, brother J. K. Thrower, at Atlanta, Georgia, and he will send you the charter, books, Ac., to organize'the Lodges. Let mo urge each and every ono of you to renewed exertion in the great work.

Keep the facts before them and the day is not far distant when thoy will accept tho truths of our order. Go in a leek spirit to these dear parents who have children to save, to give us their aid—tell them to plead for their soul’s 44 best effort to save tho wife’s heart from its bursting agony at the loss of the once kind and noblo man to whom she prom ised her young and noble heart’s love. He never spoke an unkind word to her when sober, und no man ever loved his children better, when free from the in fluence of intoxicating drinks. It is to stop the ravage* of this monster that we apjieal to yon. Shall rum rule and ruin? Not ono honest word ran l>e said in favor of this unmitigated evil All other call ings have just and honorable founda tions, bnt there is the calling of Death— Behind the gilded screens which hide it from the publio gaze, it deals out Ruin and Disgrace to all who enter within its shrine, finding its refuge in a licensed bar room. It dogs the stops of the husband, until he falls into its hungry jaws; it pa tiently tracks the steps of the unthinking youth until, at last, he becomes a victim to its seductive snares. It has hurled de fiance at the God of Heaves, and with impunity in our “fair and lovely State of Georgia,” has insulted a Christian peo ple, by disregarding the sanctity of the holy Sabbath, in its destructive filling our streets with drunkards and brawlers. You know this is so, and the power it exerts is apparent that the public servants allow it to pursue its bit ter end without molestation, filling the judiciary with its apologists, as well the grave-yard with its victims." Tell them in tho most eloquent lan guage yon can command, that wo appeal to them for their “aid for the little waifs of the street, dying in heart for a moth- •*8 love. Wo plead for tho boys and girls—homeless aud friendless, whose fathers might bo saved. We plead for the old mother whose only son ii now the staff whieh she fondly 'hoped to lean upon in her declining voars. Wo plead for the wife who still hopes, at times, that the dreams of her girlhood may yet be realized—that broken family altar re built—that man reclaimed. Wo beg you, in Heaven’s name, to work with us to save and redeem him. A crown is just above thy brow, reach out, and down if need bo, and save thy ruined brother, and the angels will crown thee with a wreath of immortal bloom.” Sav to them that there are Good Temp- Zi.un T Lodges started all over tho State, and have accomplished a great deal of good—have lifted tin many that have sunken low in the scale of human degra dation, and returned them to society. “Many a family has been reunited. The rum sellers have already begun to feel our strength, and have set their mighty en gines to work to nndermino our cause, and lower us to the ground. They have already started the ciy that we are the decoys of some political party, or for some sectarian purposes.

The Senate met pursuant to adjourn ment, and was called to order by the President Praver by Rev. Wesley Prettyman. Roll called and Journal of yesterday read and approved. Mr. Hams moved that the message from the House received on yesterday, be taken up and concurred in. Car ried. The following is a copy of tho referred to: Atlanta, July 7, 1870. To Utc Provisional Legislature: The same reasons which made it ad visable to enter npon legislation at the time of voor last adjournment still exist; but, within the last few days tho House of Representatives of the United States Congress has adopted a bill for the admis sion of Georgia, br tho teem* of which yonr organization is expressly recognized as “ legal,” and yonr legislative action, m adopting the conditions required by the sever.il reconstruction acts, ia ap proved. This bill, it is believed, will be concurred in by the Senate within a few days. Ponding such action, by the Senate, I would respectfully recommend that yon take a recess until the 13th in stant, or occupy the interim in the con sideration of such resolutions as may he presented. Rufus B. Buxxock. Mr. Chandler—A resolution that thi* General Assembly now adjourn sine die. The yens and nays being demanded the vote stood yeas 7 ; nays 19. Motnn to adjourn lost Mr. Harris moved, in order to allow the Senate time to reflect npon the adop tion of the suggestion contained in the message of the Governor, that the Senate nowadjourn until Monday morning, at Mr. Chandle desired to know if it was in order to introduce a bill aud proceed with general legislation. The chair decided ths motion to adjourn order, when Mr. Chandler proceeded to oppose tlio motion to adjonm till Mon day- -saying if there was any definite ob ject in view to be gained, it might be well enongh, to meet again on Monday. If not, and the only objeet of this'recess was simply that Senators might bo paid, then ho had advocated their going home until they could proceed with necessary legislation. Mr. Speer thought it might be doing God and tho country service for the Senate to stay here ana introduce a meas- b in order to havo Georgia represented Congress, and desire the members to bo selected from this Senate. Mr. Wootten advocated the right and power of the Legislature to proceed with general legislation, which was badly need ed; bnt if a majority of the Senate thought they could not legislate, then their plain duty to tlio country was • to adjourn until the finul settlement of tho Georgia question by Congress, and to stop the expense to the people of Georgia who were growing indignant at the action of tho General Assembly in meeting and squandering the publio money without doing any good whatever. Mr Campbell insisted that tho cry of the objections of the tax payers be hush ed; that of his own knowledge from the months of tax payers, he knew that action of the Assembly was endorsed by the tax payers of his district. Mr. Harris proceeded to state that tiou and prudence should mark the course of the Assembly, and for that purpose a recess was necessary. He was tired of hearing the course adopted by hi* party denonnoed on the part of certain mem bers of this body, as if on them alone depended tho weal of tho dear people; he advocated an adjournment, but was in fever, in either event, whether the fate of the Georgia bill-was settled at this session of Congress or not, of proceeding with general legislation. Mr. Speer offered an amendment that during tue recess no member receive his per diem. Mr. Smith, of the 7th, favored the turn to adjourn till Monday. On tho motion to adjonrn to Monday being put, it was carried. The Senate stands adjourned till Mon day, 12 o’clock. HOUSE, The House tuet at 12 o’clock, pursuant to adjournment, and was called to order by tho Speaker. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Felder. On motion of Mr. Darnell the calling of the roll was dispensed with. The Clerk read the Journal of yester- dav’s proceedings. Mr. Darnell offered a resolution amending the 17th rule, so as to make it read “majority” instead of two thirds; also, changing the 19th rule so as to read “Cashing’sManual,” instead of Jeffer son's. These resolutions went over under the rales. Mr. Tweedy, from the oommittee ap pointed to wait on the Governor, report ed that Governor Bullock would com municate with, the General Assembly tp: day, in writing. On motion of Mr. Darnell, the Gov- nor’s communication waa read. Tbe communication of the Governor ia the same os reported in the Senate pro ceedings above. Mr. Scott asked to' know who Bnfns B.

Calhoun now being Realized. Politicians have sometimes boldly pre dicted that a certain course of action on the part of government. The following a prediction made in 1819 : “If it” (emancipation) “should ever bo effected, it will bo through tho agency of the Federal government, controlled by the dominant power of the Northern States of the Confederacy against Ihe re sistance and struggle of the Southorn.— It can then only be effected by the pros tration of the white race; and that wonld necessarily engender the bitterest feeling of hostility between them and tho North. Bnt tho reverse would be tho caso be tween tho blacks of, tho South and the people of the North. Owing their eman cipation to them, they would regard them as friends, guardians and patrons, and center accordingly all their sympathy in them. Tho peoplo of tho North would not fail to reciprocate and to favor them instead of tho whites; under the influ ence of such feelings, and impelled by fanaticism and love of power, they would not stop at emancipation. Another step would be taken to raise them to ft politi cal and social equality with their former owners, by giving them the right of vo ting and holding public offices under the Federal government We see the first step of it in the bill al luded to-—to invest the free blacks and the slaves with tho right to vote on the question of emancipation in the District of Columbia. But when once raised to equality they would become the last political associates of tho North, acting and voting with them on all questions, and by this political uuion between them, holding the white race at tho Sonth in complete subjection. Tho blacks and tho whites tliut might unite with them, would become the principal recipients oi tho Federal offices and patronage, ami would, in consequoood; be raised above tho whites o f the South in the social scale. Wo Would, in a word, chango conditions with them—a degradation greater than has vet fallen to tho lot of a freo and en lightened peoplo, .and ono from which we wonld not escape, should emancipation take placo (wluch it certainly will if not prevented) bnt by fleeing the homes of ourselves and our ancestors, and by aban doning our country to our former slaves, to become tho permanent abode of disor der, anarchy, poverty, misery and wretch edness.—John C.

It is not your province, nor is it mine to decide m to tho constitutionality of tho act. That is for the court*.
