ter, in "u small little talk with our
Northern brethren," thus lays tho.
case before them :
We know very well that there can
be no more war ruad?; upon us-that
we cannot be reduced to the perma
neut condition of conquered pro?
vinces or territories, und that hence?
forward we take our chances of poli?
tical happiness or misery with the
rest of the States, North, East and
West. Shape your Government ns
yon will, gentlemen of the North
make it a republic, a monarchy, an
oligurchy -we are in the sanie boat
with you, and we sink or swim toge?
ther. Remember that. If you wish
to destroy tho life of the South, poli?
tically, commercially and socially, all
we can say is, you are great fools,
and yon will hereafter pray in sack
clock and ashes to be "delivered from
this body of death" which you have
hung about you. When you come to
carry out your menacing boast of set?
tling ar rearges -with Queen Victoria,
and of kicking Napoleon and bis
' 'squatter sovereignty" out of Mexico,
you will probably wisli that you had
not emasculated eleven States whose
soils and institutions have proven pro?
lific of that sort of men which, accor?
ding to a lofty English statesmen and
poet, "constitute a State. "
The truth is, brethren of the
Union, you cannot very well do with?
out us "rebe." We area pretty large
? spoke in the general wheel, though
we do not pretend to be tho "hub."
We yield that to "Bosting." And
when to our wooiugs to get buck to
the fumily "bed and board," you
show us the mitten, we make due al?
lowances for the coyness of virgin
courtship, and persist in believing
that you really want and menu to take
ns at last, after duly going through
the blushes and "ask pa's," which are
so becoming to modest maiden na?
tures like yours. For, if you didn't
want us, what in the deuce did you
fight us so hard for? It wasn't to
."kick us out of thc Union" that you
raised three minions of men and made
the whole land bristle with steel und
r?ame with fire, because that object
was attainable at far less cost, lt was
to keep us in, and now do you want
to make us believe that ?i ftcr you have
pulled caps, torn out your hair, and
taken laudanum in the anguish of
your regret at having to loso us, and
having won us bock, that you don't
mean to have us? No woman was
ever so fickle and arrant a jilt ns that.
No, you mean to have us, and we
mean to have you. You have broken
up our plans of single-blessedness,
and refused to let us retire from your
amatory embraces in a nunnery.
And now we must take you "for
better oi tor worse;' and albeit the
nuptials will not be warmer at first
than those the Doge of Venice was
wont to celebrate with thc Adriatic,
the bans are published, and we must
be wed again. So pray make Sum?
ner and Stevens, and those other
lunatics, quit their stage tricks and
all their "denvnition" nonsense, and
walk up to the altar and be done
with. We are a match not to Le de?
spised. We have a "bully" dower to
settle on some happy partner -the
Lord knows how many rich acres and
how many annual hundred millions
of gold cotton, which will be highly
convenient in arranging certain little
financial difficulties and foreign ba?
lances incurred during the ardor
(cannon balls) and sharpness (swords
and bayonets) of your courtship; and
then, if anybody thrusts his fist in
your face, we can "pitch in" for you
in a style illustrated by the grey-jack?
ets on many a splendid field of valor.
?rho fact is, we are "irresistible,"
and you mean to have us. Why not,
then, leave off fooling and conniver
ing, and name the happy day at once?
It would be our silver wedding, and
we could invite the whole family, and
have a jolly, royal, roaring frolic,
apples from Yankee land, and mintj
old Peu nsyIvania ' 'Whiskey Straight' '
of the House of Representatives for
tho first polka. "Chatoies," of the
Senate, shall have the blackest -wench
I for his partner that can be found be
j twixt thc Potomac and the Rio
? Grande. Come, hasten up the na
j tional spree, and let's "on with the
j dance!" We are decidedly losing
i time and money, progress and pros
i perity, to say nothing of our good
! names, by this silly and protracted
j dalliance.

? AN INTERESTING SEQUEL- TO A HASTY
DIVORCE.-A correspondent of the
j Volks/'rental, writing from "The ln
I diana Prairie," April 30, relates thc
i following:
j "In Sullivan County, a young lnar
I ried pair, who had been united in the
bonds of wedlock about six years,
j having become somewhat mutually
! disagreeable of late, the husband, in
; his anger, hastened to a lawyer, and
took steps to obtain a divorce from
i his wife. One day he came home to
. his wifo and sai i to her: "Betsy, I
; have fulfilled vonr wish. You said
i you wished you were separated from
! me. Here is the decree of divorce."
. His wife was at first surprised, but
j far too iudiguaut to betray any
I emotion. She said she was ready to
; leave. She only needed to pack up
. her goods. Sin; wished he would be
? present to see that she took nothing
j except what was lier own. He
. stepped into the adjoining room with
j her where the bureau and oloth.es
j press wore. The v. ile proceeded in
. silence to take out the clothes, when
I suddenly her eyes fell upon a small
I dress, and ipiite overcome, she broke
: out in convulsive weeping. The hus
' band, hitherto an indifferent ob
I server, remarked her emotion, and
discovered the cause, lt was the
dress of their only child, a little
daughter of turee years, who had
died almost two years ago. Thc hus?
band was not less affected by the
sight than his wife. He embraced
! her with emotion, begged her pardon
j again and again, tore the decree of
I divorce into a thousand pieces, has
I tened to the Clerk's office, took out
! a new marriage license, and was
I married immediately to his late wife."
THE LITTLE GIRLS OF BALTIMORE.
We see it stated that the noble-heart?
ed little girls of Baltimore aro making
arrangements to hold a fair of their
own for the benefit of the poor little
children of the Southern States. The
conception, whoever may have origi?
nated it, is beyond allprai.se, and will
but serve to endear the Monumental
City the stronger to the hearts of the |
Southern people.
