3091. BY PIIINEIIAS ALLEY SOY. Til I USD AY, DF.COIBER15, 1S59. I Speech of lion Edward Everett, At the Great Meeting In Faneuil Pall, Bop- ton, December 8i, 1853, IfliscrHaiumis. Eft ttlsSdij Hint what was at first but a trifling affair has been magnified, and added to, till we have become widely estranged, The quarrel does not end with ourselves almost the whole village is involved in it we have each our own parties and champions, and have created a great deal of unhappiness for ourselves and others.

I am willing to acknowledge my own. fault; and now, enn we qot just let this affiiir drop, and burr the past, at least the unpleasant portion of ft, and oa friends once more There was a quick, warm response to this, on the part of Smith. I do not see why we cannot," he taid I am willing to do so. I know that 1 have said aggravating things, and cherislied unkind, feelings. We, too, were talking of this quarrel to-night.

It seems to me a good omen that our minds met upon tlie tame topie. Here is my hand. Jones youre good fellow a little hasty, like myself, sometimes, but such people like each other ail the better, if they do fall out occasionally There was a warm shaking of hands fn lok en of friendship the two women were already sobbing in each other's arms, There ns a natirai forgiveness and reunion of hearts, and fhe good old times were lived over again and it was long after the village was hushed jn repose before the friends separated. Peaceful were their slumbers that night; their dreams were undisturbed by the tauuu of self reproach, or tlie demauds of neglect duties. Years have since glided away; but the two families have never allowed anything to occasion a quarrel between them.

They have been tempted and tried with each other's failing. Meddler have offered their assistance ill mis-ronstruing and exaggerating but theC remember bitter lesson, and their motto is, Pass it by I told several others, and heard things Jo aggravate the Case. Then, you know, you did not keep your temper very well. Mr. Smith got angry too, and made some very unkind remarks, We felt injured, and cherished a foolish pride in letting people see that we could show proper resentment when we were abused.

Then other people stcpied in not to moke peace, but to widen the breach and we set dow everything that dime to us as true, often magnify ing some Slight remark into a hideous inuendo. And so, you see, we are to blame very much so. We are all erring creatures not one of us but has faults, and it seorna to me that we ought to consider our own frailties 'when we feel inclined to censure others and not pick up every hone of contention that come In our way, but juvt pas it byrand think no more about jt, Yea yes you ar right, answered the husband, but the plague of it is, if Smith and I go talking matters over, we shall just take a circle, aud come right round to the starting point, and neither of as will own that we were wrong in the first place. I know just how it will be. It it of no use to tnlk it over it will just be a raking up of the troubles from first to Inst, and such affair arc just like a coal fire the more you stir it, the hotter it grows." Let the fire atone, though, and it will smoulder aw av aud die out of itsi It So ith this trouble; let it go.

Say to them, let bygones be by-gones, and just drop the matter entirely, and begiu where we left off, forgetting that anything uf an unpleasant nature has happened. Come, now, what do you Uuuk of that? Mrs. Jones adjusted her collar, and smoothed her hair with, her hand, ss if preparing for start. Mr. Jones sat down again, laid his left foot over his knee, and leisurely picked the lint from his trowsers, gathering it in little pinches, and carefully dropping it between the fire-irons, for they sat before ehecrftil wood lire.

He was in somewhat of a quandary. Pride and conscience were struggling for the mastery hr his heart; at last he said, Blame me if I want to have it go all over the village that I acted the penitent and Smith the magnanimous judge who listened to my bumble suit, and granted a merciful pardon. Now John, said tlie wife, which ia really magnanimous, to acknowledge a fault, or forgive one It seems to me to be the most easy, natural thing in the world, to forgiv an erring friend when he takes the place of a penitent. But 1 know the proud heart struggle long nnd painfully with itclf, when it feels the justice and the necessity of acknowledging a faul and when it has achieved this victory, it vvCnis to me that it has w-oti higher honqjs'fhan it has when It obeys its natural bjrjnilsfs, and runs over with forgiveness andxfnder compassion toward a penitent. ought not to allow a dread of the spiffs of the village gossips to deter us from our duty.

Ltt us do what will pfcaTiod and every truly good person. I-ct-lis set our hearts at rest, ami feel that whatever, others say or do, we vuil do iighfc Better be sneered at for a good act, mo condemned for a bad one. Well, said the latter, I wish it was all over, I feel dreadfully awkwnrd alsint going over there under the But Come AV Mti unlit nhmir 1 We can walk along down that, way, 1 1 iff. President and Felloes. Citizens In rising to address you, on this important occasion, indulge me in a few words of personal explanation.

I did not suppose that any thing could occur which would make me think it my duty to spjiear again on thu platform, on any Occasion of a political character, and had this meeting been of a party nature or designed to pro-' mote any parry purposes, I should not bare been here. When compelled by the prostra tion of my health five year ago, to resign the which Ithon filled in the distinguished place public service, it was with no expectation, no wish and no intention of ever again mingling in the scenes of public life. I have accordingly, with the partial restoration of my abstained from all participation in political action of any kind partly because I have found a more congenial, and, as I venture to think, a more useful occupation in seeking to rally the affections of my countrymen North and to that great name and precious memory which is left almost alone of all the numerous kindly asso in turns, which once bound the different sections of the country together; and alto because, between the extremes of opinion that have long distracted ar.d now threaten to Convulse the country, I find no middle ground of practical usefulness, on which a friend of moderate connscls can stand. I think I do httle good, I try to, In my waning yesrtfin augmenting the funds of the ihantable institutions, commemoratirg from lifne to time the 'honored dead and the great events of past days, and chiefly in my humbletfforts to rescue from desecration and the' vicissitudes of private property the home and the grave of Washington. 'i hese, sir, seem to mC to be innocent and appropriate occuj ations for the decline of life.

1 am more than contented ith the favor with which these my humble labors are re- gab ded by tlie great majority of my Country- men; and knowing by experience how unsatisfying in the enjoyment are the brightest prizes of political ambition, I gladly resign the pursuit oi them to younger men. 8ir, the North and the South, including the Northwest and Southwest, have become fiercely, bitterly arrayed against each other. There la no place left public life for those who lovo them both. The war of words ot the press, of tlie of the State Legislatures, and, must I add, the pulpit? has been jnmhed to a point of exasperation, which, on the slightest untoward accident, may rush to the bloody arbitrament of the sword. '1 he great ancient master of political science (Arutoiic) tell us, that though revolutions do not take place for small causes, they do from small causes.

He msans, sir, that when the of the eom-mumty have become hopelessly embittered and exasperated by long continued irritation, the slightest occurrence will bring on the catastrophe. fact, it seems to me, that wc have reached state of tilings which requires all good nun and good patriots to forego for a time all mere party projects and calculations, and to abandon all ordinary political issues; which calls in a word upon all who love the Country and cherish the Union, and desire the continuance of those bleing which we have till lately enjoyed under the Constitution transmitted tons by our Futlmrs, and which I regard a the noblest work of political wisdom ever achieved, to meet aa one man and take counsel for its preservation. It it this feeling that l.as brought me here to-day. It will probably be said, that those who entertain views like these exaggerate the gravity of the crisis. I wish I could think so.

But fear it is not we who exaggerate, but those who differ from us, that greatly and soon, I fear it will be, fatally underrate the ominous sign of the times. I fear, sir, that they are greatly misled by tlie one-sided views exclusively preseuted by the party press, and those who rely upon the party press exclusively for their impression, and that they are' dangerously ignorant of the state of opinion and feeling the other great section of the country: I greatly fear that the mess of the community, long accustomed to treat all alarm for the stability of the Union as groundless, all professed anxiety for its preservation as insincere, or, if sincere, the result of nervous timidity, have unfitted them elves to nosnrr the extent and the urgency ot the existing danger. It it my own deliberate conviction, formed from arms opportunities of personal observation, and Iron! lnendly correspondence with other parts of the country (though I carry on none of a pohlirsl nature,) that we are on the very verge Of a convulsion, which will shake the Union toils foundation and that a few more steps forward, in the direction in which affairs have moved for a ftw years past, wilt bring us to the i at astro; h(, 1 have heard it urged on formrr occasions of public alarm, that it must be groundle, because business goes on as ususl, -and tha theatres sre open, and stocks keep up. fir, these appearances may all be delu-rve, he great social machine moves with a momentum, that cannot be suddenly stopped. The ordinary operations of business went on in France, in the revolution of 1789, till the annihilation of tha circulating medium put a stop to everything that required its ns.

lhe theaters snd all the other plucesof public amusement were crowded to madness in the reign of terror. The French stocks never stood better than they did in Pnn on the 2 Ut of February, 1848. On the 24th of that month Louis Philippe was filing in disguise from his capital; the Xuilcnes were Backed, and th oldest monarchy in Europe had ceased to exist. 1 hold it to be time, then, Sir, as I have aaid, for good men and good patriots, casting aside all mere party considerations, and postponing at least all ordinary political isoues, to pause to look steadily in the tac the condition of things to which we are and to ak their own consciences, licthcr they can do nothing to avert the Crists, end bring about a happier ai a better state of things, 1 do not ask them to search the past tor topics of reproach or recrimination on men or parties. We have had enough of that, and it ha contributed materially to bnng about our present perilous condition.

In ell countries where speech and the pres are free, especially those countries which by controlling 'natural cause fall into two great sections, each possessing independent local Legislature and centres of opinion and influence, there well in the lapse ot time unavoidably be action and re-action of word and deed. Violence of speech or of act, on the one side, will unavoidably produce violence of speech and act on the other. Each sew grievance ia alternately cause and effect and if, be. fore resorting to healing counsels, ws art determined to run over (lie dreary catalogue, to sc who was earliest or who has been most to blame, we engage ia a controversy in which there is no arbiter, and of which there sail be no solution. But without reviving the angry ot sorrowful memories of the past, let me, in ali friendliness, ask the question, what has either section to gain by a dissolution of the nion, with reference to that terrible question which threatens to destroy iu I ask patriotic meu both sections to run over in their minds ths cause of complaint which they have, or think they have iu the existing state of thuigt, and then ask themselves dispassionately whether anything is to be gained, anything to be hoped, by pushing the present alienation to that fatal bourne, from which, as from death, there is no return Will the South gain any greater stability for her social system, any larger entrance into the vacant pubiio ter ritonee? Will the North have effected any one object, which by men Of any shed of eptnion, extreme or moderate, is deemsd dssirabl I on the contrary, wilE act every evil she desire to remedy be confirmed and aggravated i If this view of the subject be correct wrbst eau be mure unwise what more suscidsi, than te allow these deplorable dimensions to result in a Revolution, whiob will leave two great section of the country in worse condition than it find them with reference So the very objects fo (Devoted to tAe Cmm.Mi Prspls fc 4Ae Pro-m(im of Agriculture the Dtjfiuion of General Intelligence, old the Maintenance of Jef- fersemtan Bop ubEoam Prinaptee) IS PUBLISHED EYERY THURSDAY, At FiUgteid, Berkshire CdsaUy, it aeeacAueette.

The busy bum of work has ceased and all is hushed, een Nature shares the holy calm, the moon and glowing stars pursue their way noiseless, the gentle ripple of the flowing waters need no divine command of silence, myriads of insects in unbroken harmony? but add to the all-pervading sacredness of the The week has gone Eternity has its every deed, angels have wept over its follies, and Heaven has smiled on its golden -fruits.

He notes a singular fact with regard to the Bank of Bellows Falls, viz that the Directors, in violation of the law, have not held a meeting for twelve years. From personal examination the CommisMofier finds that the resources of the Banks include 378,536 of doubtful debts. The summing up of assets, in some instances, presents a most nondescript and varied bill of item.

Here is a specimen The Bank of Royalton makes an item of personal prop-ertw to the value of $295 60, which the Commissioner found to consist of the following len yearlings, one cow and calf, one wheelbarrow, one sorrel horse, one jack, one boar, eight shoat and thirteen mules. It is shown that about 25 out of the 46 Banks have entrenched on their capital several having deficit of 40,000, and $50,000 on espital stocks of 100, 000 and $150,000, The Bank of Castleton show a deficit of 4 6,036 on a capital of 1 the Bank of Roy alton 15,133 on the Farmers Bank of Orwell $19,230 on the Bank of Burlington $13,186 on $150,000 the Farmers and Mechanics of Burlington 15,17 Kon theMer-chanta, of Burlington, $13,521 on a like Capi tal and so on, in amounts of $20,000, $5000 and ltkOOO. The' Commissioner also notes, in many eases, the disbursement of dividends not earned. There are, however, some strong banks which have a liberal accumulation of profits. The Vermont, of Montpelier, shows a surplus of $21,042 on a Capital of $100,000, all doubtful debts being charged to profit and loss the Bank of Bratlleboro $25,093 on the Bellows Falls $12,077 on and others of smaller capital with $2500 and $5000 on hand.

To Smiths 1 exclaimed the little Uulojr, with a stare of surprise, as he removed his pipe from his lips, and turned around in his clmir to scan hit wifes features, as if to assure himself of her sanity.

And what on earth should go over there for Whv, to make a visit of course, and why shouldnt we? Reason enough, I should think, why we should not, and Im astonished to hear you propose such a thing. Why, what has come over the woman all of a sudden and r. Jones peered into the face of his wife, and paused for a reply. Well, Ill tell you what, John, Ive been thinking about our troubles with our neighbors a great deal lately, and Ive made up mv mind tba it isnt pleasant to live in this way, indulging in har-h fi-efangs, and allowing ourselves to ay unkind things, and -harp upon the old string that ought to have been worn out lung ago; and I believe the best thing we can do i to let these unpleasant matters drop entirely, and renew our intimacy, and try to avoid quarreling in future. Well, Pm willing to do so if Smiths folks I think itolongs' to them to make the first advances theyre the hiost to blame and I feel as if it would he a little too much like crawling, to be fife first to try to make up.

If Smith will otaly'say that he was wrong, and ask me to overlook his fault. Ill forgive him from th? bottom tif my? heart, and well shake hands and be friends; but you know he did use me very nscau about that grocery. Yes, I think Mr. Smith was to blsme 1 have never changed my mind in the least as to that and 1 think, too, that it belongs to him, as tlie first offender, to make Romo acknowledgments to von but I know that he never ill do it and though, as you say, if does seem as if they ought to come to us first, vet I know they never will. Mary never would, nnvhow; know her of old.

bhe is as iinmova bfe as a rook. I have heard her say that she lielieved the hardest tiling in the world that could be equired of her would be to acknowledge a fault; and that if she once got angry with a person, she did not think she could ever forget it, and love that person as well in future. Now jn this state of things, we art only getting more and more estranged, and I am tired of 1L I don't feel happy it seems to me that ire ought to do right whether others do right or not and for one, feel sorry that anything of the kind exists. I So do I but whose fault is it, pray tell tisnt ours, certainly. i Not oura to begin with, perhaw; 1 have helped to widen the breath, amlurT doubt we havq done wrong, i 1 doubt nuj.tli.it I have it is wrong to chensh such bjwffr resentment, and to speak, as harsldv oprfiy one, as we have-of them.

And Jolmj Ldont believe ou realize the amount of pdf that we have taken into our hearts since-This difficulty arose. Why, dont you kpw that we are getting so that we ick flawWii everything that Smiths folks do. Wejrtivy them their prosperity; we secretly juice at thyir misfortunes; we feel jealous of every movement that they make charging them with bad motives, and crediting every ev.l rumor that ia circulated almut them. Why 1 feel, sometimes, as though 1 had sinned more than they have; 1 have magnified their faults I have forgotten my own sins in looking at theirs; and this morning, when I prayed, Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against 1 was really shocked when 1 thought' irk n( 1 had asked for. Oh, if tid forgive me as I forgive them, I fear I shall have hut small chance of salvation." Mrs.

Jones was getting warmed with ber subject, and she sank bark in the rocking chair which she had taken lieside her husband, and covering her face with her hands she sat for some time in silence but as Mr. Jones made no replv, she rocked forward, and tapping the floor with her feet, she fidgetted about a moment, and began again 1 know what you are thinking of, John. I know that I have always held you back when you felt disposed to make any advances, and that I have said ten words to your ouc about Mr. Smith and his wife; but this is my way, you know. What I do, I do with all mv might; andnow-Hhat I feel the necessity of ext-reiving forbeafance.I want to be as thorough in the good work as I was active in the evil practice of denouncing every thing our neighbors did, susjiecting all their intentions towards us, and harping forever upon the injury we received at their hand.

I know that I said I never would cross their threshold again but a had promise is better broken than kept, is a wise and old saying, and I'm willing to take back that, and a good many ether things that I have said, whether they retract anything or not. But what a triumph it will be-to him! M's shall virtually ackuow ledge to the world that the fault lay with us; and I can imagine the patronizing airs that; Smith will assume towards us. Bah! I woht do it; its a little too humiliating. And Mr. Jones arose and stood i ith his hack to itlie fire and looked around.

him with a dignified air. I dont look ujxm it in that light, said Mrs. Jones. I confess I did until of late but it seems to roe now as though I must do my duty, and then 1 shall feel happy again. Its of no use, this trying to lav ail the blame upon them.

We are all to blame. In the first place it was a foolish quarrel about a few pounds of tea and sugar. You thought he ought to have saved some of his best articles for you, because you had bespoken them before their arrival and because he did not we felt hurt, and charged him with showing partiality towards his wealthier customers; ami when he denied the charge you gave him to understand you ddut believe Inin that you knew be did not forget what you had said some time before, and vou know that must have been provoking. Well, but didnt I know? Didnt Slmw tell me that he heard Smith say that he wivhed he had more of that sugar, for that I ought to have some of it but that he always executed Major Knights orders, and that was what took the last Yes, I know we have heard oue thing here aud another there, and people have not been at all backward in encouragiug us in ota1 course toward Mr. Smith.

Sometimes I wish we had never listened to a single thing told us about him. It is bard to believe that he has slandered us as we have heard and it is hard to feel that we cannot place ecftifidence in those who told us. No doubt it has been the same with one side as it has with the other. They have said hard things about us. We have done the same by them, until the foolish little quarrel has grown into a serious difficulty, and the first cause is almost forgotten in the throng of bitter words, cold looks, and galling acts of un-kindness which have followed.

I'll (ell you what I think. In the first place Mr, Smith was wrong. It was very natural for ua to resent it but I wish, now, we never had. But whale done cant be undone. Y'ou told him wjiat you thought not, however, till you had St rviving Women of THE.

Eleven persona in Falmouth, living within a circuit of three and a half miles, recently spent a pleasant afternoon together, whose united age amounted to eight hundred and ninety-seven jtars. feix of these person were married couples. None of these three couples were ever married but once, and all were married iu early life. The oldest of these eleven persons i ninety-one, aud the youngest seventy-four years, 'lbe oldest two sre brother and sister, and two of the others are brother and sister, and two of the others are brother and setter. Of the oldest couple, the husband is eighty-four ears, and the wife eighty-three.

Of the youngest couple, the husband ia seventv -eight, and the wife seventy-seven. The oldest and youngest of the eleven are unmarried. All these ersons reside in Falmouth, aiyl most of them are natives of the town. Many of the sons of Cape Cod have been lost at sea. The number of widgws and orphans in all the towns on the Cape is very large, and gives a stranger a sad impression of the perils ol a sea-faring life.

But tlie number of hale old people to be met with in the Cape towns evinces that the climate is healthy aud favorable ito longevity.

if Senselessly Ceeyjtl. A case has been reported of a country girl who thought it possible there might be an excess in such scrupulous regard to appearances. On her mairiage day the youth to whom she was about to be united said to her in a triumphant tone, Weel, Jenny, havent 1 been uncoo ceevil alluding to the fact that during their hole courtship he had never even given ber a kiss. Her quiet reply was, Ou ay, man, senselessly IsposruiT iwi Ton tee Ladies. A French paper, received by the steamer Canada, dated Nov, 3d, contain news of such impor tones to the ladies that we think it necessary to translate it for their benefit immediately, Here is the momentou paragraph The sojourn of the Court at Campaigns is going to have a very remarkable effect upon the fashions of the season.

They were soon equipped for their woik, and locking the door Ik hind them, passed through the narrow front yard, and stepped into the street. It Was a clear autumn evening. The moon shone brightly, and lit up the streets of tlie village with a soft, mild radiance, and all along upon the sidewalks lay litlllc patqhca of quivering light and shade, where the moonlight and the shadows of the overhanging trcclxiughs inted together to 8 tpe music of the night wind. I can 'imagine jut how everything look around the old homestead now said Mrs. Jones, iu a low, subdued tone.

This is just such an evening as nlwavs reminds me of one of the scenes described by Follet It wits nn of kntumiii hTtt mood 1 rurnfttld bathed in ('jntlim Hvery light, Stood ready f.r ibe rapt' gaihriiig baud And all th winds lcpt aoundty." You remember that beautiful description of autumn evening, do you not? Oh, how many times Mary and I have repeated thaf as we walked together, up and down the avenue at the elms, when we were happy school girls. Oh, what visits we used to have what secrets we confided to each other, nnd how we vowed eternal Convtanev. We might have been very foolish and sentimental, but we were certainly very happy. It does not seem possible that we have been estranged so long. How little we dreamed, when we were married and settled down in the same village, that months would pa over our heads without an interchange of kind ijords and loving smiles.

Oh, it seem to me to-night, that 1 can never entertain an unkind feeling tow ard an old friend again. Eevry thing seems so calm and holy around uar why most there be such a strife and turmoil within? But isnt that Mr. and Mrs. Smith we are going to meet Yes, it is! Let jLinJ speak to them ns if notlung had ever happened. Good evening, said Mr.

Jones, extending his hand towards Mr. Smith. Good evening," echoed his wife, grasping the hand of her old schoolmate, and putting up her lips for a kiss. Mr. and Mrs.

Smith gave a little start of surprise, and betrayed a little embarrassment of manner; but there was nothing of colduess in tlieir answering salutations, and that there mighty not be an, awkward pause after the greeting, Mr. Jones added, immediately, A fine evening for a walk We have been speaking of you, and thought of calling at your house before went home. Indeed ell, we ill turn back, then. We were ouly out fox a walk. Mary, dear, Mr.

and Mrs. Jones were thinking of calling on u. Let us walk back ith them Certainly Susy has just been telling me.1 And so they walked through tire street together. As they proceeded, they met a few villagers, who stared after them, as if to assure themselves that their eye saw clearly. Long before our little party reached their destination, the report was going through the Village that the Smiths aud Joneses had made up and were good friends again.

I do not know how they would have managed to have filled up the awful pause necessarily occurring between their meeting in the street and their arrival at Mr. Smiths house, had it not been for the weather, that dear old friend who has helped so many bashful people awkward pairs, and dull companies to a topic of eon vernation but somehow they contrived to make the time pass very easily, if not very fdeasautlv, and were at last seated jn the par-or before a cheerful coal fire. Hats, gloves, and shawls were laid aside, and then there was a moment of hesitation on the part of each, and each dreaded an embarrassing state of things; but Jones had screwed his courage up, as he was wont to express himself, and he was not the man to beck out, now so, without waiting for any one else to open the way, he began Mr. and Mr. Smith my wife and I have been talking over matters to-night, and thinking of the estrangement that exists between our families, and we have come to tha conclusion that it ia as wrong, as it is unpleasant for us to live as we have been, and that there it no need of this state continuing.

We eel that there has been wrong od both sides we know that tee have been very much to blame, and im 4 dc'fivie fW.
