The deed having been done, a new Revolution was called for; You that prate of Disunion, do you not know that Disunion is Revolution? asks Mr. Webster. Yes, we do know it, and we are for a revolution—a revolution in the character of the American Constitution (Speech of Wendell Phillips at Faneuil Hall, Dec. 29, 1846. Lib. 17: 7). and the only wonder is, not that Mr. Garrison was the first to proclaim it, but that he should have waited so long to perfect his doctrine of immediate emancipation, by coupling it with an equally immediate policy of withdrawal from all part and parcel in the support of a blood-stained Government.

Earle, of Washington, D. C. They have five children: Sophia R., David McClure, Edgeworth Montague, Lilian Mayfield and Evelyn Rebecca. Henry Laurens Pinckney Bolger, a survivor of the Lafayette artillery who has the honor of holding the office of probate judge at Charleston, was born at that city December 29, 1846. As a boy he was thrilled with patriotic devotion to his gallant State, when she asserted her sovereign powers in the closing days of 1860, but during the war which followed he was not permitted to do a soldier's part until when nearly seventeen years old, in November, 1863, he enlisted as a private in the Lafayette artillery. He was identified with the subsequent record of his command, in defense of the State and the Confederacy, fighting gallantly at Bee's Creek, Coosawhatchie, Col
