And heart cowld as YOUR own;
That might stand and gaurd your grave,
When calmly there you rest.

The Tyranny Of Fashion.-Fash'on
rules the world, and a most lyrannicai
mistress she accomplishing people to
submit to The most inconveuient things
imaginable, for fashions sake. She
pinches our feet with tight shoes, Or
chokes US with eight neck-handker-
chief; or squeezes the breath out OF our
body by tight-lacing; she makes people
sit up b. night when they ought to be IN
bed, and keeps them in bed in the morn
ing, wheh they ought 20 be up and do
ing. She makes il vul gar TO wait upon
EMS self, aud genteel to live idle and

| She makes people visit when they
would rather stay at home-eat when
they are not hungry, and drink when
they are not thirsty.
She invades our pleasures. and inter-
/ iupts our business.
| She compels the people to dress gally'
whether upon their own property. or that
of Others; whether agreeable to the word
Of God or the dictates Of pride.

Those they suppose still to retain their
peculiar language which they can impaft

Such people are esteemed conjurors or

terrain notions of witchcratt,, similar to
those Of the Pilgrim Fathers. DIR. White
man states that one of them shot himself
through the abdomen last July. having
done the same thing two years before.
After shooting himself, he prepared to
depart, mounted his horse and was Oft.
He returned again in short time, pre-
tending to De new man. His body
was preserved from the shot by a very
thick leather shirt. This is equal to
some of Joe Smiths Mormon miracles.
The only friendships that are really
with US in the hour of need, are those
which are cemented by equality of cir

the hour of tribulation, by the bedside
of death, the rich and the poor are sell

be abolished because the number OF deaf, dumb,
blind, and idiots, is greater among Tree negroes
than among slaves land because the negro race
had never attained so high an elevation in morals
intelligence, or civilization, as while in state Of
slavery! However, as Lord Aberdeen had ex-
pressed desire to see this benevolent institu-
ton abolished in Texas, it had "filled the Pres-
dent with deep concern" and had compelled the
Government of the United States, GIN SELF DE-
FENCE to adopt the most effectual measures to
defeat it!
The effectual measures alluded to- are the an
nexation of that country to our own, by treaty,
which Mr.. Calhoun informs Mr.. Pakenham has
already been entered into and concluded by the
President!
No doubt Mr.. Pakenham has long ere this sent
this precious epistle of the American Secretary
of State to his Government, there to be filed
among the archives of the kingdom. 1t will be a
curious document for posterity, and the future
historian.
We find, in the Memphis (Tenn.) Eagle, the
proceedings of public meeting on the subject Of
annexation, at which there seems to have been
much animated discussion upon the following
resolution, offered by H. G. Smith, Esq, and
finally adopted by the meeting
Resolved, That while we are in favor of annex
alton, it is only upon the principle that it be done
without violation of the faith of treaties between
our Government and that of Mexico, or any other
country, and without disparagement of the Amer
lean honor in any manner and without jeopardy
to the peace and safety of our present glorious
Union, and with the deliberate judgment and
free assent of majority of the American people.
This is virtually condemnation Of the present
miscalled treaty, and sustains the Tennessee Sen
ators in the view they take Of the subject.

WHO ARE THE FRIENDS OF THE PRO
TECTIVE SYSTEM?

The Democrats at the North insist that Mey
and the Democratic party, are the peculiar friends
OF the system which protects American industry,
and it is not an easy matter to convince the great
body Of that party in Pennsylvania, New York.
Connecticut, &C., that this is not the fact. Now
and then we are furnished with testimony the
most conclusive to the contrary; such as Mr.. Van
Burens letter, Mr. Rtchie's remarks the decla-
rations of the Southern Democrats in Congress,
and occasional editorials of the Globe Such an
editorial happens to be in that paper Of Monday
evening. In commenting on paragraph in an
address to his constituents, by Mr.. Chappe, Of
Georgia, elected as Wing, but who has turned
traitor to them, the Globe says
"Whan it is recollected that Mr.. Chappell is
the only Wing who voted for the reduction
of the tariff, and it is seen by the above, that
he now begins TO be satisfied that Mr.. Clay.
and the great national party he represents, are
opposed to revenue tariff, and favor the protec-
tive system-a system which is unjust to the peo-
pie of the whole Union, and which is especially
crushing to the planting and agricultural inter-
ests-the heresy is likely to lose far more impor-
tant support than Daniel Webster ever could con-
troll. Mr.. Chappell is a reluctant, and therefore
a conclusive, witness against Mr. Clay and the
Wing party; and his testimony as TO their policy
must satisfy every one that it is what the Demo
cratic party have charged to be--to sustain sys-
tenn of expressions of the masses for the benefit
of the capitalists unjust alike to the people Of
the whole Union, but especially destructive to the
prosperity of the agricultural districts.

THE WHOLE SOUTH AND THE GREAT
BODY OF THE NORTHERN DEM OCRACY

TECTIVE 1t is the harbnger of Democratic

Here is distinct avowal that the contest of
1874, the present year, on the part of the Demo-
cracy, is ''to put down this detestable policy" of
protecting American labor. Nothing could be
more explicit
