An event, the early eottlement of which w ill greatly depend upon the restoration of quiet aud confidence at homo. Hut the political horizon of our country, is covered with dense clouds of threatening aspect. The unnatural and unnecessary agitation of the slavery question, hasiaought with it a train of evils for wlii^h tjie most asluto and farreaching statesman cannot find a ready cure. The wily jsod unscrupulous politician# of tho North, to effort political design*, have infused tho virus of discontent and fanaticism into the masses.

They have clothed it with all tho sanctity of a moral and religions question, henre tho extreme difficulty, if not impossibility, of checking their freiwy and fanaticism.

It i is but a glance nt the am face of things, to charge it all to the power of demagogical and selfish politicians. They arc hut the instruments, either of demoniacal -hostility or of providentical purpose to punish tho nation. Our nn precedented successes anil prosperity hare made ns proud and infidel as a , nntion. These hare made the nation j fust careless, thon reckless of the laws and commands of that Being, who I settcth up and pulleth down nations at his will. Success gave hirth to extravI ajjance, lust and ambition. They brought on corruption, and a lots of social and political integrity. Tarty was prostituted to selfish ends until it held | out rewards for political subserviency, encouraged a thirst for power and place, and a bid for political degeneracy.?

The expression ^ "lady" is so much abmed, that without being in the least hypercritical. I w hare long since become profoundly disgusted with it. and infinitely prefer the t] sweet, unpretending title of true wo- c man. If we could but sift the chntT from the wheat, abrogate all these aelf- y styled " ladies," there would be no ob- j jecting to the title; bnt minister* of v grace defend na from some ladie* of the ^ present day, who do not even know n why a woman should be so called. A a lady mint possess perfect refinement (. and intelligence. She must be gracious, ^ affable, hospitable, without the rlightest ^ degree of fussine*s. She must ho a Christian, mild, gentle and charitable, v i unostentatious, and doing good by p atealth. She must be deaf to scandal and ? gossip. Her high sense of honor will forbid her prying into her hushand's w secrets, searching stealthily hisportmonaie and pockets, and breaking open hi* jw letters. She must not disdain a kindly nod of recognition to her servants, seamstress, dressmaker, batcher, baker, or ^ any other employee she may chance to meet. She must possess discrimination, knowledge of human nature, and tact sufficient to avoid offending one's weak points, steering wide of all subjects wmch may bs disagreeable or offen ' rive to any present. She must keep | the golden rule uppermost in her mind. . | She must look upon personal cleanliness and freshness of attire as neit to godli- noss. ller dress mnst l>e in accordance with her means, never dressy or ftashy. . but if possible, composed of the best M matorial. Abhorring everything like soiled or faded finery, or mock jewelry, her pure mind and clear conscience will f( cans# the foot of time to pass as lightly over the smooth brow as if slu? stopped on flowers, and as she moves with quiet U grace and dignity, all wi?l accord her, n instinctively, the title ct lady. If I had b fimo and yon patience, 1 could present the other view of the ease, looking upon this piettfre and upon that.
