spent his whole life in the camp, he cannot be-
He can know little OF nothing of the great ques-
tons upon which hang the welfare and prosPeri-
ty of our extended country, He must, as mat
ter of necessity, even with the best intentions,
fall into the hands of kitchen cabinet, in
whose hands all the interests of the people Will
be nine-pins, to be set up or knocked down as
impulse or corrupt selishness may dictate But
greater than all other objections is the fact that
he is put forward by the slave power as the only
man who can stay the tide of anti-slavery, and
prostrate the North before the interests of OPP
preston. Himselfa great STAKEHOLDER, living in
the midst of the most besotted and fanatcal dev-
otees of the accursed system, there can be no
doubt, whatever there may be on other points,
that all the ne~ges Of an administration of which
he was the head, would be put in requlsltlon to
strengthen slavery. Are Northern wings ready
to put such a man in power! Have they consld-
cred how they may stand at the North, when
they shall have fraternized with John &. Cal
houn, and tied themselves to the car OF slavery!
Sup pose they gain nominal wing triumph III
the election of Gen. Taylor! Is such triumph,
obi aimed at the sacrifice of all their principles,
w orth what it will cost! We trust second,
sober thought may yet save them and the coun-
try from so great folly.
For ourselves, as for all who mean to be true
to liberty and their country, there is but one
course; and that, of undertaking devotion to du-
ty and principle. By no hopes of party triumph,
by no Establishments ofpower, will any true man
be coaxed or bought into treason to the cause of
human rights If slavery must triumph under
James X. Polk, better than under Taylor; since
the weakness of Polk is partial protection a.
gainst his wickedness. On the other hand, so
freedom triumph, we care little under what tcad-
cr the victory is achieved So a man be man
and true to the rights of man, we will not ask
whether he be a whig or democrat. He is the
man and Our man, and shall receive our support,
feeble though it may be. So man be not true to
the rights of man, we care as little by what par
ty name he may be called. He is not the man
for his country-he is not our man. And it
matters not by what party he is put forward; we
pledge him our unreIenting opposition, whether
in victory or DISQUALIFICATION Dem,

A SoorHER.-The last Caiedonian says it sees nc
cause to doubt that the next presidential candidate Of
the wings will be man devoted to the principles and
interests of the free north Who can doubt the fact
after this, Notwithstanding the almost universal and
unprecedented enthusiasm manifested by the wings for
old Rough and Ready-savery, profanity, Mexican
war, and all? AT any rate it will be the safest way
for all such wings are troubled with consciences, to
drive them into the straight of choosing between vile

The Anniversary Of the American an(
Foreign AnttSIaycry Society

Was celebrated Tuesday afternoon, Nav Ilth.
at the Tabernacle. There was toIerably full
attendance, and We think the greater proportion
of the auditory was made up of the farer por-
ton of creation In the gallery, and behind the
desk, we observed liberal representation of that
sable race in whose behalf the Society processes
to make so many philanthropic exertons.
The exercises were commenced by reading
from the scriptures the iii chap. of the book Of
Zephaniah, beginning &" Wo to her that is filthy
and polluted, to the expressing city. She obey
ed not the voice, she received not correction ;
she trusted not in the Son she drew not near to
her God"
Prayer was then offered by the Rev. Mr.. Che
ney of the Baptist persuasion.
The Annual Report was now read by Mr..
Lewis Tappan.
1t began by abiding to the decease of distin-
gulshed Abolltlonists in Europe and this country
the past year, and of the absence of the cores
pondlng Secretary, Mr.. Phelps, on account of ill
health; III consequence of which all the plans
devised last year have not been completed; allu-
sion was made to the efficient services Of Mr. p
in times past, and of his recent return TO this
country. The publications issued during the
year were mentioned, among them German An
ti-Savery almanac, with an able address to the
Germans in this country by DIR. Carovi of Ger
many. 1t was stated that in no year has there
been so much discussion on the subject of slave
ny as during the past year; and the society were
congratulated on the aspect of the cause and its
prospects.
Due regard was paid to the " Wilmot Provi-
So" and hope was expressed that there would
be many who would be firm, and refuse any

A FIX,

While passing through Wilson Lane a
few days since, says the Albany Kncker.
booker, we saw a large black turtle, "drag-
ging his slow length along" on the side
walk, and quite crowd had gathered to
look at the "cretur." Soon a dunky little
negro man who had jus, then come along
with very small dog, looked a, the turtle
with apparent establishment for momen,
and asked:
"Whar what do you call dal'ar feller?'
"That's a turtle," answered bystander.
"Gorry! what dey do wid'uml"
SNAKE soup of him."
"Soup?-yah ha !--Dhat a looking fellow
dat is to make soup ob!--Heah Caesar, bite
inn" said the negro to his dog, as he stirred
up the turtle with his cane.
The dog seemed to know little more
about the "natur of the haste" than did his
master, hung back little, but finally he
crawled up to get smell OF the strange
customer, when the turtle made a dive at
his foot, and Selling it in his mouth, squeez.
ed il so numerically that the puppy got I'D
some Of the tallest kind Of yelling, and the
negro made no less noise than the dog.
SKI blow ow," yelled the dog while
his master pulled like a locomotive, ex.
claiming:
"Gorry mighty! you brack toad, why
you not let go dat ar dog foot2'
And after thrashing him Justify over the
shell with sugar cane stick, until he had
broken his weapon to splinters, he seized
the turtle by the head, and attempted
TO force him 10 release his hold of the dog.
Unfortunately Cuffy got his thumb into the
trap, with the dogs foot, and then there
was music! Finally the shark slipped"
from the negroes thumb, and he "ex.ended
the area of freedom" to such a distance,
that there was no danger Of his being harm
ed by the turtle, which, with "adhesiveness
~" still chung to the dog, and il was with
considerable difficulty tina, his laws could
be opened sufficiently wide to "render Cn
sar that which was Cesar's." The puppy
was no sooner at liberty than Cuff sung out;
"Heah, Caesar, come way from dar! and

finger in him mout again, he may bite ill

The negro "pu,," and his dog hobbled at.
ter him on three legs, leaving a crowd Of
spectators, who were shaking their sides
with laughter.

safe and certain cure for Salt Rheum.

A safe and certain cure for Salt Rheum, Tet-

Prairie Itch, Mage, Old Sores, &C..
1t is highly recommended for open or liberated
Scrofula and Leprosy. No class of diseases have
ever been considered more difficult to cure than
those of cutaneous kind and it will be conceded
by all intelligent and candid physicians, that
knowledge of the nature and successful treatment
of them is very limited and imperfect 1t is notorious
that many of these disorders have generally re.
sisted all the ordinary means of cure. Hence the
opinion so commonly prevalent, that they are in.
durable, and it is probable that before the discoy
cry and introduction of Beatson's Justly ceebra
ted remedy this belief was well founded But
wherever Ibis medicine hiss been known and used,
it has shown this opinion to be erroneous-it has
demonstrated the certainty of radical cure in al
most every case. The proprietor, therefore, con-
siders this ointment as specific for the complaints
above enumerated.
This is no "quack" remedy, but really certain
and speedy cure: it has proved eicacious in every
case, without single exception, for the last three
years, and invariably eradicates it in fourteen
days, however inveterate or long standing. These
assertions can be verified by reference to the pu
merous respectable families who have seen and
felt its efficacy, and who have,' from gratitude,
offered their testimonials 1t leaves neither smell
nor stain, and contains nothing of an injurious
quality.
