at the thought of the annexation of Texas. But
what could Texas do worse than Maryland is do
ingl Why, the rascaity of Maryland and Vir-
ginia cannot be added to, because it is infinitely
great. They enact villainy and cruelty, and pun
ish righteousness and mercy. And what have our
wing friends to say about IL Just nothing. they
are lamentng the defeat of Henry Clay, who com
promised slavery into Missouri, where three 9TH
ers of our fellow citizens are working out the pen
atty of similar act of justice and mercy. They
have no tears for their cOuntrymen in chains, nor
for the Torreys, Walkers, Works, and Thomp-
sons, who would relieve them, but are full of lam
entations over the disappointment of the great
slaVehodng statesman. StateSmansh hip! What
sort of country have these statesmen, their jack
sons, Van Burens, Clays, Websters, Tyers too,
made for us A country where mans hottest
and nobest feelings, if acted out, will bring him
to the penitenary! Aye, such a country have
the wing party and the democratic party and their
darling statesmen made for us. They have long
chapters of amen tatons to write. They may
hurrah Polk into the White House on one side
they may set up Henry Clay in marble and in
Mount Vernon on the oher;b but we tell them their
occupations gone The time for such miserable
vassaage is drawing to close. This question:
whether our republic is to be nest of pirates, cod
flying and living by the morals of Pandemonium,
is now coming up.
Sorry and sad are we that some noble friend OF
bailfor our prosecuted friend, and found the way
to bring the question before the U. States Court.
But, as it u.s. we pledge the honesty and conscience
of our country to friend Torrey that slavery shall
be demolished before six years sentence can be
worked out We will come down to the penilen-
tiary with two millions of votes-it being our pol
icy to try what virtue there is in grass, before
ing the harder material. Let the Shareholders wei
understand that we are not going to dissolve the
Union, nor let them off in any such way. They
must restore our heroic fellow citizens, and make
honorable reparation, before they can be allowed
to set up for themselves.
We are not warning with the people ofthe south
The body of them are innocent in this NATTER
They are themselves slaves-the white as we'll as
the black. We are at war with only $50, 0O(
shareholders, who hold the whole country in bond
age. They are the Moloch-gorging down in
nocent Torreys ard Walkers with their murder
Gus jaws. Let them pursue the bloody occupation
little longer, and see what becomes of their EN-
pire-their boosted lions share of federal office
They will by and by, find at the North other sor

RESULT OF JoKE.-The N Y. Organ states
that at Norwich, on the Sth inst. James Frost was
tried for the murder of his four chiIdren-three of
whom he destroyed by smashing their head with d
hammer, and the fourth, an infant by putting its
head in "A jug of water.
The prisoner was acquitted on the ground of
insanity. 1t is stated that Frost was formerly in
temperate, but had for a long time been sober
and exemplary man, and had been trcked into the
swallowing of a glass of liquor by his fellow work
men. The scandaous joke had the effect of pro-
ducing the dreadful calamity which has been de-
tailed above, and the poor fellow is now perfect
maniac. Oh, We tempters beware
There are at this time upwards of 600 paper
mills in the United States in full operation, with a
capital of $500 600, and giving maintenance to
upwards of $4,000 persons
