' VV hell wo sit down ia sober thought and V"n'
dot over the condition of our beloved and bleed
lug country, the groat nn 1 most absorbing ques
tion seems to present itself for solution : whence
comes uur present great struggle 1 What com
liintition of causes (fur ono is not sufficient) has
been united to bring our once happy land,
as it woro to tho very brink of ruin? aril what is
necessary to restore our country to it wonted
peace and tranquility Let us soe.

was sick, even unto dentil, sic of bad politicians,
ambitious men seeking to nggrnndiie themselves,
of thu purse proud aristocrats, the oppressors of
humanity. Yes, she is sick, nnd the great phys
ician, whoso name is Liberty, ia now nt work on
her, to thoroughly demise and renovate her ere
she is ngaiu fit to take her rank among the nation
of the earth, us a model for others to imitate.

Ve !m.u, perhaps, mrgotten tfte:n( or wilfully
neglected to do justice to thorn, but while there
is a brother's levo nnd Jiherty crying -om tire
ground to the great Ltlier of all, -we need not
evtieet to flourish as a nntion, notwithstanding
ur tuition's ficilitiea. No ; Jong as we ns
sort the right to enslave and degrade our fellow
men, just so long will the foul stain of infamy bp
stamped on tlio great American giant. But
tliauks to llw spread of enlightenment, this is
now f.i;;t!isu'ng tho ago of force and becoming
tho age of intelligence. Tho strength of arm is
fast giving way to tho strength of brain. Mi -id
is fast becoming the sovereign of tho nineteenth
century, and benentli its sway of reason U bo
ginning to recognize man's individual destiny
his soul responsibility to God, with tlio solemn
charge to work out both for himself, and his
brother tlio stupendous right to personal liberty,
individual freedom. This is tho corner stono of
human destiny. Without it there is no responsi
bility to God, and he who assumes to curb his
brother's freedom, usurps that right from God.
It was tho assertion of this God-like principle
that sustained the noble Pilgrim Fathers in their
Litter conflicts with priestly despotism, and the
unspeakable hardships of their self-imposed ex
ile. It was in maintenance of these (Sod given
rights that the Independence fathers placed their
lives on tho cast of a single die, and with tho
stroke of tho pen gave us nationality ami free
dom. And yet in the Pilgrim Father's chosen
refuge, and beneath the very standard which
I hey raised, Africa's millions languish in blame
ful mockery of their fundamental principles.
While there is a journal or even a man left who
exclaims against giving five-Join to all mankind,
(hero is work for tho true patriot to do. So
long ns men allow the cnrnal desire for gain to
eon tml their actions toward their fellow men, so
long will wo be compelled to resort to physical
force to teach the selfish, misguided creatures
their duty to God and their fellow men.
The cause of our struggle, then is man's domi
necring power exere'ped oner tho weaker broth-
r, and the true remedy is in tho recognition of
the inalienable rights to "life, liberty, nnd the
pursuit of happiness, of very creature which
wears the human form, w hether red white or
black.

The Boston litrcitig.itnr, an Infidel
paper, and one which professes the broadest and
most unbounded liberty of thought nnd action,
is now mildly intimating that some persons who
lill'cr from it in religious views nnd modes of
worship, tdiould be restrained by the strong arm
f the law. Does tho Livcstiynbir forget that
ono of its former editors was imprisoned for
daring to differ in religious views from the
church 1 and now counseling the the very same
kind of treatment f.r other liberal religionists
because they set up for themselves the right to
tiiink. O, consistency ! where art thou ?

A recent order of the Postmaster General
restores to tho privileges of the United Slates
