Hard money-direct taxes for state
and national purposes, collected in gold
and silver-free trade-repeal of the tax
aud banking laws-ihe annexation of the
whole of Mexico with Slavery extended
over it-and as much more of the habi-
table globe as their "des:iny," alias their
propensity to rob, will incite them TO take.
viii the people allow this medly of radi-
calism as the creed of the state ofOhiO.
If they want all these things carried out
10 the letter, they can now begin To make
their calculations that enough will go to
election without them, and thus effect
the same result that they would by voting
directly for the party who adopts this
creed. Every wing who wisesto aid in
extending those destructive principles
can do so by forgetting the election day,
or by staying at home because he may
suppose that his neighbors will all go and
there will be enough without him. II
each one will follow this suggestion there
is no doubt the locofocos will carry the
State this fall.-Summit Beacon.

The T~URPENrINE BUsMEss.-Thc
North Carolina Newberian says: About
800, 900 barrels Of tnrpentine are now an
nually made in this State. Not more ihan.
200, 900 barrels, ifthat, were shipped to
New York and other ports the past year
in its crude stale, and the largest portion
of the whole being distilled in this state.
The estimate value to the makers is a.
bout $l,7O0,oO0 annually, and may be g.
000, 900. About or 5000 laborers are
engaged in making it, and perhaps three
times as many more human beings are
supported mainly from;the proceeds of
its first sale. The distillation of turpen.
tine in this state is now carried OH very
extensively, which will render the ship
ment Of it in its crude state very small in
future. tits supposed that there are now
in operation $50 stills, which, at the aver
age cost of $500 with fixtures, shows
that there is an expenditure of 225, 900 to
begin with in the distilling of spirits of
turpentihe.

ExTAoRDINARY EFFECTS or THE Blow
ING Up OF a SrEAMBoAr.-The New
York Spirit of the Times relates the fol-
lowing word of Dan Marble:
John Smith is known 10 be a very fast
talker, and sometimes viii exaggeratc a
little. In describing the blowing up of
a steamboat on the Mississippi, he stated
that he was travelling by one, and land
ed at Helena, (Arkansas) to drop some
letters in the post office hearings loud eX-
plosion and turning, he saw the air filed
with arms, legs, heads, &c. 1.-The Cap
tain, said he, "as fine a fellow as ever
lived, a short, thick-set man, weighing a.
bout two hundred, was blown one hun
dred and nine feet in the airl Coming
down in the sand with such force, that he
went entirely out Of sight-was complete
ly buried! The pilot a very tall man,
seven feet two, was blown about ten feet
higher then the captain, with the wheel
in his hand, and struck within Il few feet
Of the captain, up to his armpits! Still
holding on to the wheel, he cried, 81 have
done my duty and can do no more!"-

down through the roof of a shoemaker'S
shop, aud landed on the floor close by
the shoemaker, who was at work. He

a TERRIBLE STATE or AFFAIRS
Most persons have read or heard Of Mad
m Restell, the celebrated "traficker in
human life" as the Police Gazette terms
her. This woman, who is neither more
nor less than a protested abortionist. is
now under arrest, in New York. She
says, however, that she is In no fesrOf Jus.
tice. She boasts, says the Police Gazette
that she has assisted judges daughters,
magistrates %uieces, and jurors favoritcs
aud friends; and that they dare not ulti-
matcly convict her. She openly states
that she has police officers in pay, aud
newspapers at her command; aud that
one-tif of what she gains by murder,
she pays back for law, or black mail, in
the shape of a private license to XIII, with
ont being responsible to justice.
This is truly the great secret Of her
power, and therefore, every public man
or private citizen, Except her counseD
who aids her in her present emergency,
should be marked as cuIpabIe, either by
his W previous acts, or by the knowl-
edge she possesses Of the acts of some
portion OF his family.--P Htsburg Jour.

practice of foreign ats and sciences.
 'lt is unnecessary 10 enier into an exS animation of the ceIata questio whether he varieties of the human race Tn Afri- ca originally sprung from different sour ces or whether they all belong 10 the same stock, bu, changed to the state in which we find them by tue influence of circumstances in the lspses of age.- Whatever conclusion may be come to on this point, cannot in anywise affect he question as to the comparative intelS ligence of the African people. The same circum stances that are supposed by those who contend for the original
 identity of the races 10 have SD greatly affected their appearance and physical capacities, could hardly fail to have an equally powerful influence ovef their mental faculties. This, in fact, is sob- stantally admitted by Dr. Prilchard. who has ably coniended for their com. ron origin, and the equality of their intellect with that of olhe. races.
 ''The tfbe,' says he, in whose pre- valent conformation the negro type is dscernable in an exaggerated degree, are uniformly in the lowest stage of hu, nan society; they are either feroclous savages, or stupid, sensual, and indolent: Such are the Papals, Bnloms, and oihs er rude hordes on the coast of Western Guinea, and many tribes near the slave coast and in the Eight of Benin; coun- tries where the slave trade has been carried on 10 he greatest extent, and has exercised it's usually baneful infu~ ence. On Ihe other hand, wherever we hear of Negro State, the inhabitants of which have attained any considerable degree of improvement in their social condition, we constantly find their phys. ical characters deviate considerably from the sirongly-marked or exaggera.! ted type of the negro. The Ashantee, the Sulema, the Dahomans, are exem> plicalions of this remark. The Ne. groes of Guber, and Hausa, where a con. siderable degree of civilization has long existed, ne, perhaps, the finest race of genuine Negroes on the whole continent, unless the Jelofs are 10 be excepted.- The Jelofs have been a comparatively civilized people from the era of their first discovery by the Portuguese.'
 Here we have it distinctly laid down that the eyi,tence of the distinguishing features of the Negro race in strongly marked degree is uniformly associated with the lowest state of ba,barism and that as they ,ecede from this strongly marked type we find greater degree of civilization and improvement. The inevitable conclusion is, that every va riety of the Negro race, which compri- ses the inhabitants of almost all Csntfal Africa, is inicaiive of mental infetio:lty; ard that :erociiv and stupidity are the characteristics of fhose tribes, in which the peculiar Negro features are found most developed.
 We believe that this is a perfectly correc, statement, and we do not know that anything that can be said could show more conclusively the tddieal in- ferioriiy oi the grea, bulk of the African people.

Tie Negro Race.

The following article upon the subject of Negro character, the capacity Of the race as a race. will be read with inter est al thls time. It is taken as a stan dard work of acknowledged ability, viz : Brande's Encyclo, edia.
 'Ii has long been a favorte theory of many philosophers thai the negro races are naturally inferior in roint of intel lect; and do not possess the same ca- pacity for improvement as the Europe, ans, or people of the Caucasian variety This supposition has, however, been ve- hemently denied; and il has been cons tended, over and ovef again, that the peculiar circumstances under which they have been placed sufficiently ac- count for the condition of the Africans flor their want of literature and their low civilization. That great weight should be attached to the considerations now mentioned is tue; but still we do not think that they are sUiii tent wholly to account for the existing state of h ngs Egypt was, at a remote period, inc prin- cpal seat of science and of art; and various sections of Africa were in con, tact with and had pretty extensive in> tercourse with the Egyptians, and also with PhGnicans, and afterward the Ro- mans. But they seem 10 have profiled little or nothing by this associalion.-- And while the people of Greece, Asia Minor and Magma G, ecia raised thems selves in a comparatively brief period 10 the hgest pitch of civil zation and re, finement, the nations of Africa continue without solitary exception, down to he pesent day inner sed in the grosesl bar t. barism. Surely however, during the space of 5000 or 4000 years, opporth mites must have ben afforded to some oi them to make some advances. But if so, not one has had the sagaci,y to profit by them. Africa, in fact, does not seem to ohaveproduced single great man. She has had no Hercules, no Minos, no Theseus; no Coofucius. no Manco Capac. Among all the varie. ties of superstition that exist in il, we look in vain for hero worship-for the divine honors paid in rude but impro' :, nations in other parts of the world h public gratitude, 10 departed heroe le gislators, and authors of impor' .ant dis coveries in the arts.
 With the exception of ,oa, of tb ancient Egy ptians and Ftp s,nians who's descent is involved in ' ..e creates, mn certainty. almost all r e civilization in, exists in Africa see' IS to be of foreig o'ig'n. ne ihtr' duction of Mshom, dan'sm' though in debased form, ha gone Tar 10 Do dish Canibalism from m; ny coun'fie' :; and some of them hav 1 also adoP ed the letters and literature (
