The Emancipator is out against the reelection Of
MIR. Tallmadge, because that gentleman voted for
Mr.. Clay's resolution, adopted in the Senate the
10Th of January last repTobating the interference Of
citizens of the States with the subject Of Abolition in
the District of Columbia. That resolution, which
seems 10 have faded from the memory of those who
are slanderng Mr. Clay, is in the following words
Resoired, That the interference By The citizens of
any of the States acita The Uiclc 10 The abolition Of
slavery in the District is endangerng the rights and
security of the people Of the Districts and that any
act or measure Of Congress designed TO abolish
slavery in the District would be pioldti0n Of the
aih implied in the cessons by the States of Virginia
and Maryland, Just cause OF alarm 10 the people Of
the slavehodng States, and have direct and ineui-
tablc tendency TO disturb and endanger the Union.
Does this look like coalition with the Abolition
lists Does il leave doubt about the soundness the
fairness the integrity of the great statesman upon
this topic2 The advocates Of the Missouri Restric-
ZIONIST are here confued they have been recorded
by facts in every other instance in which they havq

THE sLIPPERs-A TURKISH TALE

Bakarak, though miser, was ono OF the
richest merchants in Bagdad. Camels laden
with the most valuable productions Of the
east, constantly arrived at his ware hou-
SEES. and the ocean walled vessels to the
ha rbor but to increase his wealth. Yet
he had treasure in his possession still
more desirable than his ivory or his pearls;
il was by the enchanting Zelica. his only
child, who, scarcely fifteen, and blooming
like Houri Of the Paradise far ou;shone
them all but though so sweet a blossom,
no one had yet proved sufficiently lnteres-
ting TO wind himself around her heart.
Going one morning to mosque, atten-
ded by her black slave onl y, an aged te-
male, bending beneath the weight OF years,
murmured an entreaty for aims; while
searching for purse that was suspended
at her girdIe, she unntentioanly let her
veil drop aside, and as, with benevolent
smile bean.ing upon her countenance, she
was giving the supplicant zechln, her
eve caught youth ardently gazing al
her from balcony above. An instant
warned her of negligence; hastily rePa-
cling her veil, and deep blush suttuslng

ter the mosque, and pressed forward, bu

however, he fixed his eyes on her, and fol
lowed her every movement, hoping MS
trouble would be rewarded by kind look
but being deeply engaged in her devotion
she did not appear to regard him. Before

argument appears quite plausible at the FIRST
