A SHAREHOLDERS IDEA OF SLAV-
ERY,

The following remarks on slavery, are
extracted from un article in the Frankfort
Commons eaIth, one Of The most inlucn-
tioI journals in Kenmcky:
As to the blessings Of slavery, Mr.. CAL
houn is very silly to argue the question
even at home, still mere abroad. The uni
Versal sentiment at the north, and, we be-
Ieve, mVo,tty Of the people e9cH in tie
SiaUchoidmg states, regard Si0oery here as
q ptdgHC-Sp0i and q curse. in nkenWciy,
while we believe all her citizens are loyal
to the constitution, nearly all regard the
institution as every way injurious to ua,
and would ioyIuIy adopt any just and
practicable scheme Of relieving themselves
OF the evil
The number Of Shareholders in Kenuc-
Ky is about one-iourth the number of vo-
ters. This is an important fact, which the
coEsideraIe should constantly keep in mind.
Mr.. Calhoun's principles carried out, would
make the lOborlng Irecmcn Of this country
slaves to slavery. Ills estimate national
happiness and prosperity, as is clearly
shown in his letter to Mr.. King, on which
we are now remarking, is an estimate Of
the comforts and enjoyments, not OF the
great body OF free American laborcrs, but
Of that small class who live on the sweat
ofnegro labor. God forbid thst we should
excite the smallest prejudice against either
negro labor or those who enjoy it, We
would make no discrimination between
them and others for we hold ourselves
conscicntiously bound under the compro-
mise Of the constitution, to regard all and
protect all alike,
But we call on those who employ slave
labor, for Gods sake, not to provoke the
masses aguinst thenselvcs--nor set YOUR
selves as too many do in offensive arrO-
gance above them. A large majority OF
Ireemen OF the nation are poor lOborers;
men, nevertheless, Of proud spirits, Of true
hearts, and, be it remembered, Of stout
arms. they are to be conciliated, not
despised; they are to be regarded and pro.
tected, not trampled on, and made sub
servient to interests antagonistic to THEN
prosperity and dignity Mr.. Calhoun had
better not make statistical tables. Others
will turn the tables on him, For the secu.
rity of slavery we have the guarantees oI
the constitution. Seeking other supports
we shall lose those we already have,

IN SENATE.


IN SENATE.
Mr.. Gregory reported back the bill to
create the l7th Judicial Circuit, and fixing
the time Of holding courts therein, with
one amendment, which was agreed to, and
the question being then en- the engross-
ment Of the bill, objections were made by
Mr.. Disney, and aevral other members,
Mr., EGkley said he bad voted for the bill
i in every phase in which it he'd appeared,
but he was now under the necessity Of de-
fnng his position, He would not pretend
to say hut what the proposed circuit was
necessary, and that the iucrcstof the State,
and the administration Of Justice, demand
ed the creation Of additional circuits, But
under the aCt of last winter, commonly
called the reuenChment law, aIl President
Judges, and the Judge Of the Superior
Court OF Cincinnati, are serving for the
very smolI sum OF seven hundred and thjr-
ty doIIars per year, while twelve President
Judges who We're elected previous to that
are receiving as compensation the sum
Of twelve hundred dollars a year. | came
here under the belief that those salaries
would be equaljzod. The action Of the
House has compelled me to change that
opinion. And while am 50 well satisfied
that gross injustice is being done loaiI Wdg.
es elected since the passage Of that act, |
still cannet vote to make any additional
circuits. If The members OF the Legisla-
tune will not increase those salaries, then

dollars on the conang in of Gen, Jackson
in 1899. He was imprisoned and persecu-
ted by the mnions of the administration,
by way ot showing their horror of such
things. The wind has set in another quar-
ter since that virtuous demonstration a
gainst stealing from the public treasury,

LIVE YANKEES.

A Yankee is cautious more so than u
ScotChman. He will make no balls, bur
take especial care not to be caught tripping
in his speech. 1t is emusng to see the
dexterity with which he will avoid giving
a direct answer to question, where he
suspects it may not be altogether safe to
speak positively; and as to answering an
abrupt query, without knowing why it is
put, catch him there if YOU can. Guessing
after all, is not so unprohtuble practice, it
is no small undertaking, at times, to extract
evidence from a witness in court,
Did you ever seethe man drunk! asked
%. LAWYER of a fellow on the stand.
Why, I've seen him jolly.
Butdid you ever see hm drunk?
l'veseen him pretty well to live.
But did you'ever see him drunk!
Why, I've seen him when | thoughtlhe
was full enough.
Butwas he drunk or was he mott
Why, he might have beendmnk; and
then again he might not, lcGnh'say he
wasn't and can't say he was.
Pray, asked another, did y0u'see the de-
fend ent tmow the stone!
Why, Ieaw himh stone, and sup
pose be might have thrown 1t.
How large stone was 1T!
Why, Ishould call iua largish stone.
B,tt can't you compare it, and say It was
as big as this thing or that thing!
Why, if / should say now, | should say
it was as big as Il piece OF chalk.

CONCERT.

On Thursday evening Of last week, Mr..
LitlIe's school gave a public Concert at the
Courthouse in this place, The perform
ance was splendid, and the tones Of music
fell upon the ear soft as the gentle gales of
Spring. 1t is one OF the evidences of the
advance OF civilization to hear the sweet
sounds OF vocal music in the cottages and
hamlets Of the country. But it is more es.
peciaIly in the house Of worship that the
training of the voice is essential.
We do not pretend to be an adept in
Judging of music, though we think with
Shakespeare, that
"The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord OF sweet
sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stHtagems, and spois;
The motions oftnspirt are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus;
Letno such man be trusted"
The e,CarroIlon Whig Band was present
and acquitted itsefwith its usual ability.

prrSands's Sarsapariia is acomt tImation
of vegetable medicines, differing entirely
in their properties from the vallous prepa-
rations Of Sarsapariia which have at diff
ferent times been offered to the public, and
from the high state Of perfection to which
the apparatus used in the process has been
brought by the proprie.or during the many
years OF experience devoted to the subject,
a medicine has teen produced which is
calculated to lie, and has been of more BEN

OF the present century. Diseases have

ANEcpoTB.--A maiden had reached that
point in life at which she began TO wonder
who Wonld have her, Like other pious
people wlao had been IN difficulty, she ap-
piled TO her God for counsel in hertrouBles.
Regularly she used to go out to pray under
a tall pine tree hard by, We are told that
unlike the publican who PRAYED, God be
merciful to me a sinner--her's ran in this
wise--Oh! God! send me a husband! An
honest old ow chauced to he in the sop of
a tree on the occasion Of her last visit there
to pray, and being disturbed by her loud
supplcations, he held forth after this fash
ion:-"whoo! whoo no Whoo hal" The

The Senate have passed resolution to

House will uror not we don't know.
A Bill TO onend the act defining the du-
ties Of Justices Of the Pence and ConsGat4es

bill was to give the Justice power to issue

the debt was contracted in She township
where such Justice resides thereby virtu-

Nh. Ed1or-Being in Virginia during the
life Of President Madison, and while the
fiends of temperance under an apprehen-
sion that DISTILLED liquor was the chiet cause
were exerting themselves
to abandon the use of such liquor as beV-
etage, the Undersigned called on that dis
tmguished statesman, and procured his
signature to the subjoined declaration.--
Immediately thereafter the signatures Of
President Jackson and President Adams
were obtained. Tn cOmmemoration OF this
event, q SILVER medal was struck in Eng
land ana transmitted to each Of these gem
tenen. Recently, the names OF President
Van Buren, and President Tyler and Presi-
dent Polk have been added to the same
declaration. So that with the exception
of President Harrison who was prevented
by death from expressing his well known
sentiments,) all the Presidents Of the Uni
ted States who have lived since the tempe
rance reformation commenced, have given
their testimony against the Use Of distilled
liquors as beverage. The only liquors
generally believed at the time atwhich the
signatures were obtained to be productive
of nebriety.
