YOU NO. Are human beings possessed now-n-days with so morbid an appetite that it can be only appeased by a continued course of intense excitement, even of tho most revolting and unworthy nature. The lives aud acts of those who consti tute the ''power of the nation," certainly prove the world of mind strangely agog, i Ever since tho cessationV of hostilities I I there have been wraugliogs, quibbling! aud jugglings without end to annex a | I Fifteenth Amendment; and scarcely his I this fiendish deed beeo accomplished than I [ the political heavens become overcast by ! a cloud of more terrible import than all others, in the form of a Sixteenth Amend ment. ?nd what does it mean ? What need for another uppeodage ? What its sub ject? Whut its object f Women of] i America, veil your pure faces to conceal the blushes that should mantle your cheeks at mention of the word Sixteenth | Amendment, for it is an insult to your purity?a shame to your honor, the death-bloW to your womanhood. You may question how this can be ? How ? Ih it no tili nine that men should stand in legislative hall and use the pure and gentle name of woman in noisy de bate or, hnrsh and jeering tone, that should make the heart die ? "Tis sad that men should scoff aud trample on each other ;.but oh, tis bitter wrong that they should drag mother, wile and sister I from her higher shrine to crush her in the dust! Sixteenth Amendment! Woman's shame f Not that alone. 1 When the act is done which proclaims woman has entered the political arena to contest for position aud power, it will be the final deed?the last signature to the death-warrant of a ones glorious nation. Ah truly indeed, may the poet sing, "Fold that banner, for Mtis weary." ^?s, fold it?'drape it in mourning ? i wreathe it in crape, fur the cation is dead I Strange, passing strange, that woman J should contend for power ; should so far forget her self-respect and duty ns to 1 stand before ? gaping, curious crowd, [and wich her woman's voice ery out for equal rights ! Equal rights? For what? To be trodden uuder foot? To he jostled sod jeere-l by s noisy, clamorous mob? Think you. oh, deluded creatures, to save the already tottcriog fabric of government? Vain delusion ! for with the power of equal rights the old, sweet influence of woman is forever gone! Will the rude, drunken creature wrang ling at the ballot box heed the reproot from the voice beside him in the noisy crowd ? Will he not rather lift his baud to strike the reprover? Not cowardly? as for a man to raise his hand against u woman?but as mau to man ; for with I her equal rights she must accept the cruel taunt, aud hear the harsh und wicked word-!, or lift her woman's hand iu self-defense. Whut prompts those calling themselves women to demand among the urcliivcs of the mttiou there shall be placed one law giving to them such privileges as only men should claim? Is it ambition ? Heed not the siren voice; it will prove but u "Will o'too Wisp," leading ynu through sodden marshes into the fatal quicksand. Do not strong men go down fa.ut and woary? See them fulling by the wayside/ The soiled and tattered banner ou which they had traced, in joyous hope, "Excelsior," trailing iu the dust?a bruised and crushed form beside them?seen too late. In their haste and upward gazing, in their earnest reaching for the "castles iu the air," they saw not tho beautiful flowers at their feet, heeded not the l#iouuing form and yearning heart, and | in striving for fame aud povrer, happiness, was lost, and as they 6ui tho truth of all they might have been floaty* around und away from them into the "uamuluss yonder ," The shore is strewn with tho wrecks of barks guided by strong hands. Gun tho trembling, woak hand of wotuun hope to steer moro safely o'er tho rough, tempestuous son ol lite? The nation is dying, and woman mu-it save!?Thou, to the rescue ! Not nt tho bullot-box ; not in legislative hall; not by haranguing heedless multitudes; but iu the quiot of home, with the groat, winked world shut out, oxerciso the power that is there your right, none dure dispute? There you can vi. w ? position tho highest earth can bestow. By the quiet fireside, the mm, loving mother instilling principles of truth, purity aud honor into tho heart and mind pf tho prattling boy at her aide, is wielding a power for greater than these nondescripts can hope to obtain by the establishment of a thousand amend ments. Some of those to-called advo cates of Woman's Rights ateert that men hare become so selfish an i wicked they are no longer capable of ? ontrolling the destiny of nntion or worsen. Men ure evil. They hn?e only left the Greater Good, and rnaoi. be aroused 10 a knowledge of the fact, and they will -return to their ?ilegia?oe. The Creator^ deolafed man the ruler "over the birds of the air, the bcasta of the field,,' oud not that alone, but pronounced him the "head of the woman." Arc we wiser than the Divine Architect ??TitK some vl-anes are. sup eriof to some men intellectually forms an exception ; that all weiten are super ior to all me.: morally is tut indisputable truth, for If is another iuidence of the wisdom of the Maker. ,Man, with his great mental and physich 1 strength, is prepared to encounter thfc storms of life aud battle aguinst ther^j but in this daily strife human hearts grow hard and ' cold, wander fur froth ^Re" light, ami! struggling amid the darkness, woald be lost were there not a presence near, bear ing the greater strength men have not.? Thus woman lifts him and renews the better self, and man and nations are saved! If within the sacred^toalni of homo futher. brother or husbnnd to a moment of sudden passion utter those quick, harsh words of wrong that men do some times say, a gentle lo\ itig voice, sod pleading tone saying : "Oh my darling, don't say, huoh words ! they* are so wrung und stain your Soul !" w:,il linger tu ihr heart, and follow him into the great world beyond, and in a mennent of sudden temptation the quick Words come, but remain unuttered, for \Jfi can nut sully lips sacred to her so^ytgqpd tyqo. Ah, is not that a nobler powsfc n greater in fluence thm the luud-rlcuccd creature clamoring for n Sixteenth Atnendynant ran ever uequire ? Therms your power ?There, your rights"oTTTOtdir"mjne can' deprive you. Then strive to cultivate your heart, beautify your home?make it more attractive than the brilliantly iilimiinat.'d hulls of dissipation aud Mi), and no mare will you seo your loved husband, father, brother or son reeling and staggering, or with simpering smile, und eyes dimmed by that poisonous draught, that proves at last the double murdore? ?-murderer of his soul aud your own sad heart. Teach the innocent boy at your side his first duty is to his God, the next to his country. By iustilliug into the pure young heart lessons of truth, self sacrifice and honor you are preparing a champion for your rights nobler und truer than -your own frail, woman's voice ever hoped to be in the hulls of the nation. Then, .. y sifters, let us any to those who are demanding a place for woman iu the councils of thu land, we do not usk it, do not wish it; we only crave that those who ever guided the Ship of Stute will forget their wrangling, forgot their selfish desires for power, return to their allegiance, bury the dead past, be true to their couutry. Let us iitt the soiled and trailing banner, take the grund old chartor of our Fathers aud place them iu our brother's hands, saying, *'Tuke them, oh, our brothorr, for our feeble hands ennuot bear their massive weight! Take them as our Fathers gave them. Your wrongs shull be our wrongs, your rights our rights henceforth ! We huve uot lost the old faith in you. Do not fear to trust our brothers. Take them those sacred gills, scaled by the blood and prayers of our Fathers; aud with them we givo the keeping of our lives, 01:7 country and our sacred woti^n/a honor !"

"What!" naid a sneering batchelur, "how coir es it that you let your wife ride tho hotter i.orse ?" Tho only reply was: "Friond, when thec bo murried theo'll know."

Skhtknoe or a Female Perjurer. ?Sarah Gore, a white woman, convicted in Philadelphia of perjnry, has been fined $500 and sentenced to the peni tentiary for seven years. Judge Faxon, in passing sentence, thus addressed the prison or: "You deliberately and falsely charged a respectable citizen with high crime upon your person. And having utado it, you brought him into this court on trial, and upon that trial you committed will ful, deliberate sod corrupt perjury, in order to oonviot him. You did all you could to consign an innocent man for a long term of years to the penitentiary, and to blast his reputation for all time. Nor ia thai alii I have judicial know ledge of the faot that you have made similar charges against several other re spect able oitisons, for the purpeso of ex torting money, sod that in some of these oases you have been successful; but Mr. Weincr would not submit to your de mands. He appeals to a jury of his fel low-citizens, and they havo vindicated him j and he has also brought you to the bar of justice, for which he deserves the thanks ot every good citizen. "Your offence is one which can receive no moroy here. Whiio we give ? burg lar the extreme penalty of the law, we oan do ao less iu a case like this. A man had better have twenty burglars in his house thsn one such woman as you. A burgltr may steal the property of the citizen. You would rob him of his go?d name to make him infamous in tho com snuuity, as wsll aa sow the seeds ot dis cord i? hi* domestic rehtbrns. A Jork ?S tiENRY Clay.-?Mr. ? -ay vn a. Western man, aud any measure he supposed would aid the Orent vVe#4/?J always had his support. Some emigrants from the Khinc hap pened to settle at Vevay, Ind., and con ceived the idea, then a new one, that American grapes would make good wins The experiment was tried and was a success. A present of half a dozen bot ties was sent to Mr. Clay, who, as might be supposed, was in ruptures over the auccess attending the experiment. . A couple of bottles was carefully put aside to be taken to Washington, iu order to have it tested and sampled by the winebibbers of that city. In those days members of Congress travelled oither on horseback or by car* riages to the Federal city. Mr, Clay had his own carriage, and used it on the journey. When tho tired horse came to a hill, Mr. Clay took advantage of the circumstance to stretch hie weary limbs by walking to tho top; but so anxious was he for the safety of his wine, that wss to show that the West could pro duce an article not inferior to that made on the Rhine, that ho carefully aud ten derly carried it, a bottle in each hand, lest they should be broken. Arriving at Washington, the wine was presented to Mr- Madison then Presi dent of the United States, who, to sh ?w off its good quility, gave a large diuuor party in honor of the event. The feet that Mr. Cby had presented the Presi dent with a couple of bottles of Western wine, made of the juice of Western gra pes, was made publie, and a small quanti ty given Jo each guest to taste. Each sip was succeeded with a wry face, yet all, ass matter of course, pronounced it excellent, superb, uiagnjticcnt. As is the case with all general ral-m, thore was ono exception, iu the person of a bluff member of Congress, said to be ex Gov ernor Vsucc, of Ohio, who turning to Mr. Clay, with a quizzical look, said: i;Mr. Clay, this may ho excellent wine, but it tast.a to mo hko Kentucky 'whUj ky, and mean whiskey at that T' Mr. Clay soiled Ins glass aud tasted, paused a moment, and then was forced to "ac knowledge the corn." The. sons of Mr. Clay, as anxious as Mr.Clay to taste the Western wine, had opened the bot tles at home, drank tho contents, and filled them with whiskey, and the tilfik Commoner, knowing nothing of the fact, had carried the new mado whiskey iu old wine bottles to Washington, to have it stamped as Western wine. The joke, so tho talc goes, was so good a one thai' Mr. Clay forgave the juveniletrespasser^;* and uouecnj >ycd it more than he, though he was the victim. s i i -J^c. ?tfr ,mcu>ld*i?Td to vjoejdulS as -????-??-?--????>???-? ?Staat???-?????-??? >? ?*??' ? - ?

Congress has had full swing at the Empire Stute of tho South; it set niggers, scalluwags and carpet-baggers to work on it; convened und dissolved Legislatures; made and unmade Governors, and iu all things, acted in the extra-royal fashion so char acteristic of Radical Republicans, and still Georgia is not up to the mark- The Judiciary Committee of tho United StsI tea Scuate reports the present Legisla ture of tho State to he worse than that which preceded it. It is absurd Id fhfa '??[ f t .... __...-f? <. ginc that any State will bo sufficiently rccomdructed that iloes not contribute to to swell tho Radical majoriy in Con gress?it will bo remanded hack again and again until the desired result is bb t.ihed. Not only must the Stimhcrii States return Radical nepresentativtp, but they must continue to do no, or be thrust out. Such is the doctrine onun? eiatcd by Benst Butler in his speech on tho 4th, in which ho says, substantially, that Congrcrs can deal with Georgia sr any other Ststo at its pleasure, and de monstrate to the world tha' it has not abrogated nor abnegated its power over States by the mero i?ct of admitting ; them into the Union. This is what we have said all along. We knew those reconstruction mcusurt-s wore all shams, ingeniously contrived to keep tho States out; .hat the acceptance of them by tho Southern people would not avail them one jot or tittle; that tho object of tho Ksdieal patty was not the restoration of tho Union, but the pcrpts" tuity of Radical rule, nmTthatt&ey Would stop at nothing to secure' that end. Batter has given notice that Tennessee, which has boon guilty of the hvi tot(-t! cthne ot 'believing herself beyond tho power of Congress," is to bo next takeu in hand and shown the lolly of suU*
