S. 11. J. SISTRUNK, Sec’y.
A secular contemporary points with serenity the
stern moral of our present civil trouble# :
“ Putting aside individual seffishness—rising
above small circles of excited disputation—one
can still look at the heavens, the stars in their
courses, the rising and setting of the suu, and
have steal upon him the steady conviction that the
Ruler of the firmanent is also the Ruler of uirn,
and that His purposes cannot be thwarted or His
legislation nullified. Those purposes and that
legislation reach down to the minutest nftairs.—
They arc in the laws of progress and the laws of
trade, and will work out their grand end sooaer or
later. In the existing crisis it is well to acknowl
edge this. It is not the first time that convulsions
—ominous, to mere human ken, of a return lo
chaos—have shaken a nation. But of terrible
throes in the past has been born all tbf we most
prize in the way of physical prosperity and free
institutions.
‘‘ Does any man in bis senes imagine that the
present is to be an exception to the past; that the
people of to-day are not to be summoned to wit
ness, and endure, and bravoly use some tempest
hours, forerunners of better things to coine, indi
eating still greater victories of truth, justice, and
humanity? Surely we must take our turn, as our
fathers and their fathers did, in the ’battle of life,’
and accept the inevitable fact that the ordination
of events is not exclusively for the self-indulgent,
luxurious, and undisturbed living of individual
man. Trade and commerce, politics and partisans,
cotton and stocks inav not care for principles and
posterity and the progress of mankind. But if
there be a Providence He does care; and there is
no cant in saying that it is well to think of this,
and trust in Providence even whilst we work with
human euar|utifoi? “ ‘
4 rlcmn* Ward on lil<* Visit to Abraliam
Liuroln.
1 biv no politics. Nary one. 1 am not in the
bisness. 1| 1 was I spose I should holler vosil
rusely in the street at night and go home to Betsey
June smelin of coal ile aud gin in the ruornin. I
should go to the Poles arly. I should stay there
all day. 1 should git carriage to lake the kripple,
the infirm, and the iudignant thar. I should be on
the lookout for infamous Use of the enemy, got up
jes be 4 electshun for peilitieal effect. When all
was over, and mv candydate was elected, I should
riiove hevin A arlh —so to speak—umil I got orfice,
which if 1 didn’t get a orfice I should turn round
A abooze the Administration with all my mite and
inaine. But I’m not in the bisniss, I’m in a far
more respectful bisniss nor what pollertics is. I
wouldn’t give two cents to be a Congresser. The
wuss insult 1 ever received was when sertin citizens
of Baldiusviile axed me to run lor the Legislator.
Sez I: “My friends, dostest think I’d stoop to that
tliar?” They turned as white as a sheet. 1 spoke
in most orfulest tones A they know’d I wasn’t to
be trilled with. They sluneked out of sight at
ODCt-
There 4, bavin no politics, I made bold to visit
Did Abe at Ids hurnstid in Springfield. I found the
old feller in hi* parler, surrounded by a perteck
swarm of orfice seekers. Knowin he had been
captin of a flat bote on the roaring Mississippy, I
thought I’d address him iu a sailor lingo, so sez I,
“ Old Abe, ahoy ! Let out yer main suls, reefe
hum the forecastle and throw yer jib poop over
board ! Shiver my timbers, my barty !” [This is
genuine mariner langwidge. I know, becauz I’ve
seen plays acted ou., by them New Y’ork theatre
fellers. | Old Ahe lookt up rpiite cross and sez:
“Send in yer petishun by A by. 1 can’t possi
bly look at it now. Indeed I can’t. It’s onpossi
ble, sir.”
“ Mr. Linken, who do you spect I air?”
“ A orfice seeker, to be sure,” sed he.
“ Wall, sir,” sez I “ you’s never more mistaken
in your life. Y'ou ain’ts got a orfice I’d have under
no circumstauces. I’m A. Ward. Wax figgers is
rny perfeshun. I’m the father of twins, and they
look like me —both of'em. I cum to pay a frienly
visit to the president eleck of the United tales.
If so be as you wants to see me, sav so—if not,
say so, & I’m ors like a jug handle.'’
“ Mr. Ward, sit down. lom glad to seo you,
sir.”
“ Repose in Abraham’s Buzzum,” sed one of the
o/fice seekers ; his idee being to get ors a goak at
my expense.
“ YVall,” sez I “if all you fellers repose in that
buzxum, there’ll be mity poor nussin for some of
you!” whereupon Old Abe buttoned his weskit
clear up and blusht like a maiding of sweet 16.
Just at this pint of the conversation another
swarm of orfice seekers arove A cum pilen intu
the parler. Sum wanted po9t.orfices, some wanted
collectorships, sum wanted furriu missions, and all
wanted sumthin. I thought Old Abe would go
crazy. He hadn’t more than time to shake hands
with ’em be 4 another tremenjis crowd cum porein
onto the premista. His house and doorvard was
perfectly overflowed with orfice seekers all clam
eruss for an imuiejit interview with Old Abe.—
One man from Ohio, who had 7 inches of corn
whiskey into him, mistook me lor Old Abe, and
addrest me as the “ I’araliyrie Flower of the
West!” Thinks I you wants a orfice putty bad -
Another man with a gold heded cane with red nose
told Old Abe be was a “seekin Washington and
the I’ride of the Boundless West!”
Sez I “ Souire. vou wouldn’t take a small post
orns if you could get it, would you ?”
Sez he, “a patrit is abuv them, sir.”
“ Thar’s a putty big crop of patrits this season,
ain’t there Square ?” sez I when another crowd
of orfis seekers pored in. The house, door yard,
barn and wood shed was now all full, and when
another crowd cunt I told ’em not go way for
want of room, as the hog pen was yet emyty.—
One patrit from a small town in Mishygan, went
up on top of the house, got into the chimney and
slid down where Old Abe was endeavorin to keep
the hungry pack of orfis seekers from chawin him
up alive without the benefit of the clergy. The
minit fie reached the fire place he jumped up,
hrusht the soot out of his eyes, and yelled; “Don’t
make any pintment at the Spunkvilie post oflis till
youv’e read my papers. All the respectful men in
town is signers to that thar dockyment.”
“ Good God,” cried Obi Abe, “they cuin upon
me from the 9kize —down the chimneys, and from
the bowels of the yeath 1” He hadn’t more’n got
the words out of his delikit mouth before two fat
offis seekers from Wisconsin, in endeavorin to
crawl atween his legs for the purpose of applyin for
the tollgateship of Milwanky, upset the President
elect and he would have gone sprawlin into the
fire place if I hadn’t caught him in these arms.—
But 1 hadn’t more’n stood him up strate, ’fore
another man eutn crashing down the chimney ;
Ilia head striking tne vilently again the inards and
prostratin my voluptous form onto the floor.—
44 Mr. Linken,” shouted the infatuated being, “my
papers is sind by every clergyman in our town,
and likewise the schoolmaster.”
Sez I, “you egrejis ass,”gittin up and brushin
the dust from my eyes, “ I’ll sign your papers
bunch of bones, if you don’t be a little
morW;erlul Row you make my bread basket a
depot in futur. llow do you like that perfumery ?”
sez I shuving my fist under his nose, “ them's the
kind of papers I’ll give you Them’s the papers
you want!”
“ But I workt hard for the ticket, I toiled nite
and day. The patrit shoold be rewarded.”
“ Yirtoo,” sed I, holding the infatooateo man by
the coat-collar, “virtoo, sir, is its own reward. —
Look at me!” He did look at me A quailed be4
uiy gaze. “The fact is,” I continued, lookin roun
upon the hungry crowd, “thar is scarcely a oflis
for every ile lamp carried roun durin this campane.
I wish thar was. I wish U>ar was furrin missions
to be tilled iu varis lonely istaos where epydemicks
rage iucessentlv, and if I was in Abe’s place I’d
send every mothers son of them. What air you
here for ?” I continued, wornuu tup considerable,
can’t you give Abe a niinits peace? Don’t you
see he’s worid most to death ? Go borne, you mis
erable men, go home and til the sile ! Go to ped
dliu tin ware; go to choppin wood; go to biliu

honest livin, but don’t cum roun here drivin Old
Abe crazy with your outraju9 cuttins up! Go
home. Stand not upon the order of goin, but go
onct. El in five niinits from this time,” sez I,
pullin out my new sixteen dollar huntin cased
watch, and brandishin it be4 their eyes. “Es in
five niinits from this time a single one of you
remains on these here premises I’ll go out to my
cage near by, and let my Boy Constructor loose A es

them scamper, Mr. Fair. They run ors a9 if
Sstiaa himself was arter them with a red hot ten
pronged pitchfork. In five niinits the premises
was clear.
“ How kiLu I ever repay you, Mr. Ward, for you#
kindness ?” sed Abe, advancing and shaking me
warmly by the hao4. “ How kin I ever repay you,
sir ?”
“By givin the whole cowairy a good sound
administration. By poering ile upon Abe troubled
waters, North A South. l!y persooin a, patriotic,
firm and just course, and then if any State wgnts
to secede, let ’em secede.”
“How ’Rout my Cabinet, Mister Ward,” eed
Abe.
“ J ill it up with showmen ! Showmen is devoid
of polertics. They ain’t gat a darn principle.—
They know how to cater to the public. They
know what the public wants, North A South.—
Showmen, sir, is hoiest men. Es you doubt their

VOLUME XXXVIII.—NO. 42.
The Moslem Augustus*.
A wonderful man is Louis Napoleon. Wonder
ful indeed, lie Las been doing wonderful things
these last twelve years ; and all that time the world
lias been in a state of constant wonderment in
regard to him. It was wonderful how he became
President of France on the 10th of December,
18-ltt. It was wondertul to see him govern that
tierce and turbulent nation with such a strong hand,
that even under a Constitution wus comparatively
“/'■ one - It wa a wonderful to see how he suc
ceeded in changing, in the course ot three years,
the form of Government until it became a MillaUuy
Republic. It was wonderful to how, by the coup
iTrliit of December 2d, 1851, he made himseit
a 1 nnee-Presidenf, and changed the Government
still more, until it ceased to be a Republic, sur
rounded by Monarchical institutions, and becam
rather a Monarchy surrounded by republics t
institutions. In fact the Government bv soin >
wonderful process was, in bis hands, inverted, if
we may so speak, anil turned completely about’
lint most wonderful of all it was, to see how n
year later, (Dec. 2, 1852,) he transformed thu
Government into a complete Imperial Despotism,
and brought back to France the gorgeous formu
of a Court which prevailed at the Tuleries in 1810.
lor three yeais Louis Napoleon reigned over
1 ranee as President; for one year as Prince-Pres
ident ; and now loi eight years as Emperor.—
Wonderful man. Wonderful career. The world
will at last understand Napoleon. At first
he was thought to be little better than a fool ;
although it \va< hard to account for the flucce- t
which attended his actions and movements, ou tint
supposition that he was not a man of more than
ordinary mind. Next the world began think than
he was inoie knave than fool. And now, we shall
all be compelled to think that he is not only
most extraordinary man, but that he lias been all
the time pursuing a wise and effective course in
order to accomplish for France those happv results
which could be reached in no other way.
Wheu he became President, in December, 1848,
France was still heaving like the ocean after u
storm, with the surges of a violent revolution. —*
The French people had vainly been trying a Re
public—a form of Government tor which they
never were prepared, nor will they be for many a
long year, it ever. All F.urope was agitated, and
parts of the Continent were convulsed. The samo
was true of Germany, Hungary, Italy, as well an
I ranee. Nothing but a strong hand would do for
any of those countries, in the work of restoring
order. Everything depended on France. If she
took the right course, Europe would be rendered
tranquil again. She did take the right course,-
right for those times, if not desirable in its own
nature. Louis Napoleon governed with a strong
and tight rein. Gradually the factions were put
down in France ; and, as a consequence, revolu
tions ceased in Germany, Hungary, and Italy.—
Strong government, though not in it elf desirable,
is sometimes the best, and indeed the only gov
ernment which can maintain order.
Having succeeded in establishing a firm govern
ment in France, beneath which the material inter
ests of that country made astonishing progress,
and its municipal and rural authorities were e
cured in their proper spheres ol activity ; and
having put France back again in her former posi
tion, as the foremost nation on the Continent in
military strength, Louis Napoleon began to speak
to the monarchs of Europe, not as an upstart (or
parvenu , as he was at first contemptuously styled,)
but as an equal , and at last a superior! And shw
has lived to see his claims acknowledged by all.—
it was under his auspices that Russia was driven
back aud humbled, and Turkey saved from her
grasp. It was by his influence and interference
that Italy lias been able to achieve her indepen
dence.
And now, having achieved so much for France
(aud indeed for F.urope entire,) in the way of res
toring order) and, having made his empire strong
and prosperous, he has concluded to relax a lit
tle his strong hold and give the French some fore
taste ol that good constitutional government:
which they may one day enjoy, if they act pru
dently. \\ hat he granted, me as Americans should
esteem very little ; and yet it is perhaps enough
to begin with. The French are evidently not pre
pared yet; but they will learn.
All this is favorable, as far as it goes. And
who knows but that Louis Napoleon if he should
live long enough, may indeed becoma the Augus
tus Ciesar of this age, and even u greater or better
monarch than he?
We have always believed that Louis Phillippe
lost the best opportunity that ever a monarch
enjoyed, to train a nation in the habits of
constitutional government. Had he extended
gradually the immunities and privileges of the
; people, until the laws of the press had become
reasonable and well defined, and the right of suf
frage been granted to all the classes qualified to
have it, France might have been much further ad
vanced than she is, and he might have ended his
dajg on the throne and in peace. Louis Napol
eon is pursuing a wiser and better .course,—so
far as we can see.
From the Rome Courier,
Spirit of the Itorder States.
We. fear that the hasty and inconsiderate action
of some of the Cotton States will arouse a spirit
of opposition in the border States that will forever
destroy the hopes that we have fondly entertained,
of a glorious Southern Confederacv, composed of
all the slave holding States, if the Federal UnioD,
as now seems probable, should be broken up.
The following extract, which we clip from the
Nashville Banner , a leading Tennessee paper
gives \is an idea of how this matter is regarded’
in that State. The jrriter seems to be wedded to
the democratic notion that in a matter where all
are equally interested, the desire of the majority
should, at least, be respectfully regarded. lie
states, in round numbers, that the white popula
tion of the eir-ht cotton States is three millions,
while that of the other seven slaveholding States
is six millions. This is probably nearly correct,
but in a matter of this kind, the white population
and ‘fchree fifths of all other persons” ought to be
taken into count. The number of Representatives
in Congress jvould be a fair basis. The eight
cotton States nojr have thirty-five while the sev
en border States have fifty-five ; so that our rep
resentative strength to theirs j>s seven to eleven.
Now is it likely that this large tna/ority will
tamely submit to the arrogant dictation of t,ho
minority and be forced into a compact, in the
making of the terms of which, their counsels werp
spurned ?
The following is the extract above alluded to :
“The leaders of three millon three hundred and
thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty
three, in the eight cotton States, are endeavoring
to precipitate five of these eight States into revo
lution, and to carry the other three cotton States
with them, and boast that they will thereby com
pel the six million six hundred and sixty-six thous
and six hundred and sixty-six in the other slave
States to submit to their course, and to accept the
revolution by withdrawing the seven States from
the Union. W ill the majority of two to one in
the other seven slave States tamely submit to be
ruled by the minority in the eight cotton States *
abjectly and humbly bow down to the dictation of
die minority ?—break up the General Government
of the Union at the imperious command of that
minority s*—thankfully accept from that minority
uch a government for a Southern Confederacy as
the interest, the pride and the ambition of the
rulers of that minority may impel them to dictate ?
—become the willing and obedient serfs of that
minority and its leaders ? Whateve may be the
~ase in the eight cotton States, there is in the
other slave States a people who love liberty secur
.•d, regulated and guarded by the Constitution as
it has been from the foundation of our Govern
ments, General and State, under the Federal and
State Constitutions. They do not want a Consti
tutional Monarchy , as some, at least, of the South
Carolina school do, nor a consolidated govern
ment for the fifteen slave Stales, with an oblitera
tion of State lines, as oUier disciples of that school
there and elsewhere desire.**
It is not yet too late to secure co-operation and
,ve would still earnestly urge that poliev. Let all
he slaveholding States, except South’ Carolina,
hat*is now out of the Union, meet in Convention
ind although all might not agree upon a plan of
edress, yet we doubt not three fourths of theso
■hates could, and that is as many as were required
o ratify our present Federal Constitution.
