WIIl the preservation of slavery in the
District, and the annexation of Texas
both of which Mr.. Clay is understood to

employment of the power and wealth of
the nation in carrying off the machinery
by which you cultivate your felds2 is
not the Gdoice of abolitionists, to keep
your IaborerS and pay them wages, better
than the pOUer of the nation to send them
off?
! We ask attention to it from colonial
tlonists, who have been offended at seeing
ministers of the Gospel employed in the
Antl-Slavery work, because it had, indl-
rectly, something to do with politics. and
who have been alarmed because a single
prominent aboIitionist has ventured to
apply 10 the question of slavery in the
States, his own view of the general pow
ers of Congress. Here is the broadest
avowal of the power Of Congress over
slavery, and here is the most open enlist
! menl of great [so-calIed] benevolent in
stitution, and all t e clergy Of the land in
purely party unconventional for the
establishment of great moral principle
but to put down the administration for the
sake OF putting in Henry Clay.
We ask early attention to this, by the
electors Of the country, that you may du-
ly ascertain, Of the candidates for the next
! Congress, whether thew are in favor of
employing the national revenues in the
deportation Of the laborers of the South
Do not take too much upon trust from
politicians.
In conclusion, be it observed, that the
Colonization Society has always, from the
beginning, avowed its reliance on the
power Of the national government, and
not to the benevoence Of the people, for
the ultimate accomplishment of its de-
signs. The only thing new in the state
ment of Dr. Proudft, is the plan of max
ing ITS PRESIDENT the President Of the
United States. -EmanCipator.
STRONG FACTS IN REGARD TO HORSE
RACING.-A writer in the Louisville City
Gazette, thus terseIy presents this matter.
N. Y. Observer.
Races, it is said, improve the breed OF
horses, And what if they did, if they
degrade the breed of men. But doubt
born facts are on the other side. l never
heard of races in Arabia, yet the best
horses and the best blood in the world are
there. The great racing stock OF Eng
land and America came from the blood Of
the GodoIphin Arabian. There are no
races in New England, yet the New Eng
land horses are worth, in this country,
from fifty to hundred per cent. more than
( Southern horses The horses for the
plough, dray, saddle, stage coach, or gig,
in New England, would bring, under the
hammer, far higher prices in racing sec
ions ofthe cou ntry, than their own horses.
Racing only improves the breed Of race
horses. | was lold in Virginia, by the
stage drivers, that their best horses were
! brought from Vermont and New Hanp-
shire-the Green Mountain horses are the
best in the country for symmetry, strength,
feetness and endurance. Yet there is no
racing in New England Racing, then,
is surely not essential to making good
horses.

These two brothers left their fathers
house in the morning, in company with a
younger brother, to go to the POM, about
one and half mile distant, for the pur-
pose of bathing. When they reached the
pond, they made ready and waded into it,
and walked along near the bank for some
distance, when at length they came to a
sudden offset, stepped off both at the same
: time, into deep water, leaving their
Younger brother upon the bank to witness
, The awful scene; he saw them rise twice
pom the surface The second time he
threw out a small stick of wood, hoping
: thew would catch upon it, but they die
y not, being clenched together; they then
sank again to rise no more. The little
. boy ran to the nearest house to give the
v alarm. About one hour after. they were

S ifeless bodies were delivered to the sur
