STICKING TO PRINCIPLE,

We find in the Tribune of this morning. the
report of Mr.. Webster's sayings at the great Fair
recently held in Rochester. The distinguished
statesman, we perceive, talks in one place after
this manner:
"What importance is it what other nations say
of us-or what they think of us-if they can new
ertheless say you don't pay your debts2 loud
applause) Now, gentlemen, [ belong to Massa-
chusetts- if 1 belonged to a deeply indebted
State-Pd work these ten fingers 10 their stumps,
I'd hold plough; I'd drive plough, I'd do both, be-
fore it should be said of the State to which be-
longed, that she did not pay her debts loud
cheers.) That's the true principle-let us act up
on it, (cheers,) let Us go it to its full extent
(Deafening applause) If it costs us our comforts,
let US sacrifice our comforts; if it costs US our
farms, let US mortgage our farms. But don't let
'you don't pay your debts Your Republican
Governments, don't pay your debts Let US say
to them we WILL pay them, we will pay them
to the uttermost farthing.' That's my firm con-
viction of what we ought to do That's my opn-
ion and waters can't drown-fre can't burn it out
of me-(Loud applause.) If America owes a
debt, let her pay it-let her PAY 1T. (Deafening
cheers) What have is ready for the sacrifice.
What you have know would be ready for the
sacrifice. At any rate, and at any sacrifice, don't
let it be said on the Exchange of London or Par
is, don't let it be said in any one of the proud
monarchies of Europe-'America owes, and can't,
or won't pay God Forbid (Cheers) Let US
Paay-let us PAYl Oong continued and loud ap-
pla1use;) Let US say to them produce your bond
and q, take your money, principal and interest"
Inese are what Sir Peter TeazIe would call
e noble sentiments" but coming from the mouth
they did remind us of the anecdote of man, rather
notorious for his RIGHTEOUSNESS but at the same
time great stickler for the observance of the NOR
al laws. He was perpetually reminding others

A COMPLAINT.

~ Rh s. s. fadros, esq. Editor Of the Netc BedtoT'
Register.
It is not grief-ir is not care,
That weighs my spirit down;
1t is not that cannot bear
The cold worlds frown.
But when my pulse beats full and free,
And all is sunny calm within,
look abroad-and wo is me,
For pride and Sin!
The naughty child of wealth goes forth,
Bedight in purple, gems and cold;
The peasant starves beside his hearth,
Or dies with cold !
The noble from his gorgeous halls.
Scarce scans the half his broad domain;
Want from unnumbered novels calls
And calls in vain
Art rears her temples, and the Few
From Learning's fountain drink their hill
The Million plod existence through,
In darkness still!
The wilderness and stubborn moor
To Labor yield their hidden spoils,
But dost thou seek to find the poor2
Find him who tolls
Thus is it ever, every where!
The groaning Many plant the root,
The Few, who neither delve nor care,
Pluck up the fruit!
But faint not, heart nor be dismayed;
Bear up! brighter day shall dawn
Justice and Truth, though long delayed,
Draw surely on!
Bear up! fer Man, though crushed to earth,
And bruised beneath Oppression's rod,
Shall re-assert his heavenly birth,
And rise-a god

ILLUSTRATION OF NEGRO SLAVERY


ILLUSTRATION OF NEGRO SLAVERY.
The Sandwich Upper Canda) Western Ex
press states that three negro men, who had escap
ed from bondage in the United States, and had
been working with the farmers for several months
in that province, voluntarily returned to slavery
upon the assurance given by their masters, that
they should not be sold or punished for their a6
sence. One of them remarked, as he embarked in
the ferry boat that he merer keao qoh0t A@'d 'ooTh
acas untu he came to Canada. The Portsmouth
(Kentucky) Tribune chronicles the return to Lewis
County, of three negro men to the home OF their
masters, from Canada. The Tribune says =
" They state that their condition at home with
their master is far better than any other in which
they could place themselves while absent. One
of them had hired to man for three dollars a
month, the highest ac0ges he could get, and could
only procure every other Sunday to himself at
that They are now satisfied that they will fare
better at home with their truck patch, and having
all their real wants supplied by their master than
they can any where else under the mockery of
liberty but in reality worse slavery than exists
in Kentucky 1t is to be regretted that all the run
away negroes in our State have not long since
come to the same conclusion"

THE YANKEE IN MAIN-sTREET.

THE YANKEE IN MAIN-STREET
"I calculate couldn't drive trade with you
today" said true specimen of the Yankee ped
der, as he stood at the door of a merchant In
Main-street.
"I calculate you calculate about right, for you
cannot" was the sneering reply
"Wall, l guess you need't get huty about It,
Now here's a dozen real genuine razor strops
worth two dollars and haf-you may have 'em
for two dollars"
81 tell you, don't want any of your trash so
you had better be going"
"Wal now, 1 declared I'll bet you five dollars
if you make me an offer for them are strops, We'll
have trade yet"
Done!" replied the merchant, placing the
money in the hands of the bystander. The Yam
kee, deposited the like sum-when the merchant
offered him picayune for the strops.
"Theyre Yourn," said the Yankee, as he qui-
etIy fob'd the stakes "But," he added, with
great apparent honesty, 81 calculate Jokes
Joke and if YOU don't want them strops, I'll trade
back"
The merchants countenance Frightened. You
are not so bad a chap, after all here are your
strops, give me the money"
"There it is said the Yankee. as he received
the strops and passed over the picayune. "a
trades trade-and now you're wide awake, in
airnpst, l guess the next time you trade with that
are pic you'll do little better than to buy razor
strops."
And away walked the pedd'er with his strops
and his wager, amid the shouts of the laughing

THE STRAIGHT WAY TO HEAVEN

An itenerant preacher of more zeal than dis
cretion, was in the habit of accosting those he
met in his walks and inquiriDg into their spirtu,
al welfare Passing along country road that
led through small settlement, he met simple
country fellow driving a cart loaded with corn.
Do you believe in God, sir said he to the coun,
tryman. Yes, SIR was the instant reply. do
you read your Bible, pray to your Maker, and
attend divine worship regularly2' and this string
of questions was also anwercd in the affirmative.
Go on your way rejoicing. my lad,' continued
he, you are in the high way to Heaven Cud-
pole fourished his whip, and drove en- much de-
lighted no doubt with the blessed intelligence. An
other person came up by this time and he also
was Intercepted with an unceremonious-F Do
you believe in God, sirP What have you to
do, sir. with what believe p replied the person
accosted, with a look of surprise. you are in
the gall of bitterness, and bond of niquty, cried
the offended preacher-lookat at that poor lad whal-
ing along the road, and driving his cart before
him, he is on the straight way to heaven st
may be so, sir, said the person interrogated, but
to my certain knowledge, if he's going there he's
going with cart load of stolen corn

! A New FASHIONED FAN.-Some years ago
in Natchez, Miss Prof Maffit was announced to
preach in that city on a certain day. The fame
of the gifted orator had preceded him and every
person in the city of Bluffs was anxious to hear
him. Somehow the news happened to reach the
hovel of an old woman who, perhaps, had not
heard a sermon for a quarter of century: and
very seldom went out into the world. She deter
mined to hear the stranger. 1t being excessive
warm weather at the time, and having no fan, she
started to purchase one. She got to store where
they happened to know her, and aware of her ig-
noranc@ they determined to have some fun. They
told h"r they had just received a new fashioned
fan, a very beautiful article, and handed her q
common gilt 6e1loscsl She tried its power to
raise breeze, and was perfectly delighted with
it. To church she went; the house being crowd
ed, she took her seat near the pul pit. The text
was selected, and the speaker progressed and
warmed with his subject, and so did the old wo-
man, who brought her fan to her face, and
commenced blowing away as if her salvation de-
pended upon her keeping cool. This attracted
the attention Of the audience and the speaker look
ed down to see what was the matter His eye
caught the old woman-he stopped and smiled at
the ridiculous figure she cut The old woman
observed him looking at her. and cried " Go it,
my magnolia, breks God Tse all attention" The
audience tainted the curtain dropped, and we left,
but the image of the old woman with her new
fan is yet before us.
