THE DUTY OF THE NORTH.

The brief article in yesterdays North
American gave expression, vigorous it
may be, but not exaggerated, to the senti-
ments Of the North in the present crisis.
Pennsylvania, always was, with constitu-
tional limits, opposed to slavery. This
movement commenced by Benezet. was
led on by Franklin; and up until the agi-
tating efforts in the North gave 10 the sub
ject threatening aspect the democratic
legislature of Pennsylvania annually pass
ed resolutions against slavery, and in
favor of lis abolition in the District Of
Columbia. When the issue menaced the
peace of the South conservative Pennsyl-
vania-the iron barrier between the
North and South-placed her foot upon
it. But her principles have undergone
no change; and they are insane who seek
to throw her back upon them.
Never were the true and real interests
Of the people of the South--we mean the
owners-so wronged as by the late proc
lamation of war against the laborers ofthe
north The party at the South which
arrogates TO itself the name and princi-
piles Of Democracy, has had the incense of
fiauery and subserviency so sprinkled up
on it by the fawning sycophants of the
North, who are despised while they are
used, that the fumes have intoxicated her
brain, until, like the reveller at Persepo-
lis. she

The following articles from the North
American, we command TO the perusal Of

that will be acknowledged, as well as felt
by all; and that must lead every firm

as will vindicate and maintain our own
interests, and rebuke the South for her
vindlctive and revengeful course.-Pa.

THE DUTY OF THE NORTH.
1t must be mortilying to those friends
of freedom who assisted to place Mr..
Polk in power, to find that his admlnis-
tration is devoted TO the destruction Of all
Northern interests, and domination SO
completely, that before his administration
is closed, the South may, by the access
sion Of slave States, be supreme, and
slavery rear It's horrid crest as the proud
ruler of the land of the free 1t has al
ready power enough to crush Northern
industry, and as the petted monster of the
administration, who can tell TO what
strength ii may atkin.
The cry OF the "whole of Oregon" was
raised, not because the whole was wanted.
No! This would have given something
TO freedom; but to secure the West 10
carry out the schemes of Southern aggran-
dizement. 1t was necessary that the
West should be doubly gulled, and the
Harbor bill was held before her deluded
ewes, TO cheat her out of her vote to de-
stroy the manufacturers and mechanics of
the north. So that the West and the
North are the easy dupes of Southern
promises and cajolery. The game has
been PLAYED with all the sagacity and
want of principle of the most debased of
political gamesters; and has been won.
Poor Pennsylvania, cheated out of her
vote, is kicked aside as worthless. She
has given her vote for the accession of
Texas, and the domination of the
South, and of what use is she longer
The real purposes of the war upon Mex
leo will soon be accomplished. Mexico
can spare territory enough for few
States to sustain Southern doctrines, and
| the administration will have them.
Our duty is now plain one-the
I North must take care of herself. She
must become the unhinching advocate OF
freedom; and (since northern industry
stinks in Southern nostrils.) the hearty
hater of slave labor. Pennsylvania has
stood long the champion of the South.
She must now become the unceasing,
sleepless sentinel of freedom. She is
now spit upon and scorned, and in her
hour of distress and dismay, let her learn
that the hand that has wronged her can be
extended in friendship no more.

RUM AND RELIGION.
CONCLUDED.

N" Concluded. n .E
The Angel, Gabriel, was first sent te
Zacharias, and his wife, "who were both
righteous before God, walking in all the
commandments and ordinances Of the Lord
blameless." The message TO them was tha,
they should have a son, and should call his
name John. "He shall be great in the sigh,
Of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine
nor strong drink" The same Angel was
next sent to Joseph, and Mary of Nazer-
eth, a city of Galilee, with similar tidings,
in reference to the Saviour. And why TO
Ndzereth Because firstly, Joseph and
Mary were just and righteous persons
temperate in all things; secondly, that " it
might be fulfilled, which was spoken by
the Prophets" that the Saviour should be
called Nazarine, separate and Holy unto
the Lord, drinking neither wine nor strong
drink The requirement in becoming a
Nazarine and separating himself unto the
Lord, was, "He shall separate himself from
wine and strong drink, and shall drink no
vinegar of wine or vinegar Of strong drink,
neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes,
nor eat moist grapes or dried. All the days
Of his separation shall he eat nothing that
is made of the vine tree, from the kernels
even to the husk" For further light up
on this matter, the reader is referred to the
address Of the Angel 10 Manoah's wife, in
respect to Sampson, and the reply Of Han
nah to Eli, in respect to Samuel We may
trace the old Testament through, and we
can find no account of Gods approving the
use Of intoxlc ating drinks. He commanded
Moses to smite the rock in Horeb, that wa
ter should come out OF it, and the children
of Israel should drink. All through that
long and tedious journey OF the Israelites
to Canaan, water was furnished them but
no strong drink. Sampson after his con
fct with the Philistines, in which he slew
a thousand men with the Jaw OF an ass,
"was sore athrst," and called upon the
Lord, ''that he might not die of thirst, and
fall into the hands of the uncircumcised
Phlistines," "God clave hollow place
that was in the jaw, and there came water
thereout, and when he had drunk, his spiri
came again and he revived" IS
Here is strong example, as strong q,
need be, TO show up the utter falsity 0
strong drinks contributing to strength o,
recruiting the system when fat'gued. Sam

THE EMlGRANT'S DREAM.
BY P. CASSIDY.
AIR-B,nn's Fare,oeU
Why bid my fancy still explore
The beauties of my native Isle 2
And ! so far from Erin's shore,
Must behold her winning smile
Borne on the swift grey wings Of night.
My boyhood haunts methinks view!
Alas! It's only fancy's flight,
Hibernia dear, farewell, adieu!
No winds that hurry o'er the deep
Can speed their way with such flight,
While DER me visions hold their sway,
In magic dreams whene'er sleep,
rove through Erin's wide domain,
My former joys for to renew.
Alas ! wake in mental pain:
Hibernia dear, farewell, adieu!
There genial virtue marks that soil;
Health cheers the darkest hour of age:
There nature sows her balmy gifts,
And dwell the minstrel, bard and sage.
This breast must feel excessive Joy
Those native charms, whene'er view:
Thus Morpheus does my sense decoy:
Hibernia, dear, farewell, adieu!
All matchless Isle, Of health and fame,
Oppression forced thy son to roam
10 flee the tyrant's cruel chain ~
Pm now exiled from friends and home!
Though in a distant land sigh, ..t
My spirit still remains with you;
Methinks thy freedoms drawing nigh:
Hibernia dear, farewell, adieu! ~

RAILROAD MATTERS.

The St Lawrence and Atlantic Montreal and
Portandl Railroad Co. seems to have met with
severe rebuff 1t seems that on the 4th of Nav a
meeting of the English stockholders was holden in
London; 1858 shares constituted all the available
stock in England, and the propretors of 1900 of
these shares determined to have the concern wound
up, and the money returned to the stockholders.-
We have never had much faith in this enterprise
too much of the country through which the road
was to pass is entirely barren, and besides there
are serious obstacles in getting over the White
Mountains.
A Nav ROUTE. The war with Mexico has as
yet made no impression upon the railroad interest
in Now Hampshire, which is still on the advance,
and increases as the session of the Legislature APP
proaches. During the last fortnight new route,
to unite with the Wilton road, has been partially
explored which bids fair to be the most popular
because the shortest by twenty miles at least and
the most feasible of any route yet discovered to
connect Vermont with the metropolis Of New Eng
land. Those who have been over the ground thro'
this town, Unity, Lempster, Washington &c, are
convinced, so far as they can be by partial eX-
poratlon Of the feasibility OF the route and the ia
cllltes for constructing the road equal to any
of those now under contract The distance over
this route, say from Chase's Island in Connecticut,
to Nashua, varies if any from the stage route. A
saving of from twenty to twenty five miles of
road we should think would be an item worthy the
consideration of the public.-GGremom Eagle.
