HoRRoRs OF SLAVERY. From the N. 0. papers it
appears that slave named Moustache was whipped to
death by bis master, Mr.. Loupre, about the lst
of Dec, and that respectable physician, Or. Barbe,
gave certificate that he slave died from etanus pro-
duced by cold In consequence of suspicious of foul
play the body exhumed and the following is ex-
tract from the certificate Of DR.. Vionet. who examined
the body:
/ have discovered on the right part of the belly
two or three cuts occasoned by whipping and
the poserior part of said body entirely cut from
the neck down to the knee by whipping The
sores appear to be, some old, and others freshly
done, and great many in suppuration. Both
hands, between the thumb and the index, skin
ned off to the bone, it being impossible to tell
whether occasoned by whipping, or eaten by
rats.

FATHER MATTHEW ON RELIGIOUS INToL-
FRANCE. Amidst the floods Of light, and truth,
and grace, abundantly poured out upon US in
this eventfu era, such unchristian spirit cannot
much longer possess the heart Religion the sacred
name Of religion, cannot longer continue a wall OF
separation between man and his brother An uni
versal federation must soon take places not tole-
ration founded on Indifference to all religion, but
a federation founded on the charity of the gospel,
which leads us to believe that the followers of
erroneous worship may be pleasing to the Deity,
from the purity of their hearts, and the invinci-
bity of their convictions.

Ex-Governor MORTON has the singular i'll
fortune to have his signature doubted by his old
political associates. The Worcester Palladium
says
late number Of the Steubcnville (Ohio) Union
contains what purports to be another letter from
GOV. Morton. 1t is addressed to Hon. David
nenshaw We find il difficult to believe that
Marcus Morton is the author oft Indeed, If he
should tell us himself that he wrote it, we would
ralher doubt his veracty than believe that he
could ever have poured forth such volume Of

long continued in his behalf, he owes all that he
IS, ana all that he has received in political life

GOOD DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE

Thomas Jefferson, in his last Message to Con-
gress, at their meeting Nov. 8, 1908, lays down
certlin political axioms, TO which it would be well
if those g modern democrats" who falsely as
sumo hi S name, would occasionally recur.
that Valedictory of his, Mr. Jefferson, among
other things, says.
The situation into which we have thus been
forced, has impelled us to apply portion Of our
industry and capital to internal manufactures and
improvements. The extent Of this conversion
is daily increasing and little doubt remains that
the establishments formed, and forming, will, un-
der the auspices Of cheaper materials and sub
sistence, the freedom of labor from taxation with
US, and of protecting duties and prohibitions,
become permanent"
How does this patriotic doctrine, put forth by
Thomas Jefferson, the great Apostle OF Ameri-
can Democracy, tally with Polk and Walkers
modern theories about the Tariff
Again-in the same Address-Jefferson says ::
" The probable accumulation OF the surpuses
of revenue, beyond what can be applied TO the
payment of the public debt, whenever the free
dom and safety OF our commerce should be re-
stored, merits the consideration oil Congress.
Should it lie, unproductve, in the public
vaults Shall the revenue be reduced Or,
shall it not, rather, be appropriated to the i'm
proYements of roads, canals, rivers, education
and other great foundations of prosperity and
ion, under the powers which Congress may al
ready possess, or such amendment of the Consti-
tuition as may be approved by the States
These are the patriotic sentiments of Jefferson,
the Father of American Democracy. The true
Sons oil that Democracy still adhere to those SEN
tments. The lllegitimates waging furious
war against them.-BOstOn Atlas.

MORMON AFFAIRS Another Of the Nor
mon elders, Mr. o. Oney, has come out with a
pamphlet expose of what he terms Spiritual
Wifery at Nauvoo." He endorses the statement
Of Smith with regard to the corruptions Of their
doctrine, and gives as a reason for his own course
in the matter that he expected to find Nauvoo
place Of peace and piety, but found it Just the
contrary. Brigham Young says, according to
Olney's account)
"The Bible is no more TO the people Of this
generation than last years almanac, for ! am all
the Bible needful for the people now, if they
obey my counsel"

FRAUD OF RAILROAD Contractors. We
learn that Melvin & Co., contractors for several
sections of the Gloucester Railroad, went off the
track on Sunday week, carrying with them all
their tools, and leaving some two or three hundred
laborers and sundry citizens of Beverly and Glou
cester minus to the amount OF something like 5000
dollars. They had made considerable progress in
the tulfilment of their contracts, and few days
previous to their decamping had received from
the railroad company all the pay to which they
were entitled Their sudden disappearance Gre
ated considerable excitement in Gloucester and
Beverly, where several storekeepers, butchers,
bakers, boarding house keepers, &c. will be seri
Gus sufferers. The Irish laborers, it is said, are

LIFE Insurance. A short time since per-
IN this town, in good health, proposed getting
his life insured at $4,000 for the benefit of his
wife. But she objected, as she thought they
might make better use of the money, and the
insurance was not effected. In about two weeks
afterwards, he died. If the insurance had been
obtained, it would have cost but about 1927, and
his widow would now be entitled to the $4,000.

Elihu Burritt, the "Learned Blacksmith" sums up
the following facts in relation to the costs of
The national debts of sixteen of the European
Governments, at the closest estimate that can be
made, amount In our currency, TO 0305, 00O, DOC
all incurred for the expenses of war. This embraces
merely the drrearage, not what has been paid, for
carving on war The average of this amount is
500 - head to the whole population of these Is
nations. The interest of this vast nearly equals
tax of dollar every inhabitant of the globe.
Since the Reformation (! y Great Britain has been

for which she expended, in currency, s. 922 100,
0U0 1t has been estimated by Missionaries that
school of 90 heather children, the continent of
India, would only cost $50 per annum. Then this
sum expended by Christian nation in 60 years in
carrying war with other Christian nations, if ap-
piled to the education of the heathen would have
schooed 1862, l54 children per for 60 years

children might have been educated for the money that
Great Britain drained from the sources and channels
of her wealth and industry, to waste in wars, every
one of which degraded her people in every quality Of
their condition
From 1893 to 1S15,-a period of % years-Great
Britain France and Austria expended 81 $3.50 000, :
600 in The interest of this sum- at per cent
would have supported 10000 missionaries among the

which these Christian nations engaged in doing
the devils work each other. The aggregate
amount would have given years schooling to 49,

The interest for month, the above rate, would

Now-patriotic Americans will you not read
this refectingly !-of this vast there have been
expended only Sl4s,62O,O55 for Girl purposes. en-
bracng the Civil List, Foreign Intercourse, and the
Miscellaneous expenses. Then il follows that 1862,

WOoL.-The country has long been aware, that
under the specious clause Of nuinimuS in our tariff
law the grosSeSt receptions not to say frauds have
been practised by the manufacturers. Under the pro-
vision for the introduction of low priced wool at al
most nominal duty, they import almost their entire
supplies, of better quality than that which
country affords. In effect cutting off entirely that
"hOme market for our own products with which
argument they have long tried to gull the plan
ter, the agriculturist, and wool grower. Nay, not
content with the bountes given to them by their Go
vernment in the shape of protective duties, they have
sent the best breeds Of the merino sheep to South
America to mix with the native stock, and are pro-
ducing that fine quality of low priced wool, which
they are introducing into the country, under
scheme of their deyising, so to exclude do
nestle wool from the market, to put it at price
so low, that farmers cannot afford to raise it.
Yet notwithstanding the monopoly and the bounties
which the manufacturers have long enjoyed, the
fraudulent schemes and tricks which they have prac-
tsed the country, by which they have swelled their
profits beyond all precedent they will doubtless pre-
sent themselves before the next Congress, and be
clamorous and perseverng against the reduc-
ton of the tariff Will the country longer submit
this state of things Has it not declared that the
present tariff must be reduced to the revenue stand
ard What democrat then will oppose it =! Will
the manufacturers, indeed, prove stronger than the
Administration and country We shall see.-- Wash
