The strong pro- slavery prints OF the South
affirm, that they will support no man, wing
or Democrat, who does not affirm the right
Of slave-h holders to 20 where they please with
their property.

tors Cass, Dickinson, Buchanan, or for any who
declare even, that the people Of territory have
the power to prohibit slavery. As for Mr. Ciay'

We have dwelt with delight upon these incl
dents in Nashville, for they combine 10 make
scene in lifs's great drama, full OF poetry and
beauty. Such sceues throw charm and glory
over existence. They teach us many a lesson
Of hope and duty. They show the immeasurable
power Of good possessed by every earnest heart;
and, especially, they interesting and instruc-
tive, as illustrative of the glorious influence
which Christianity would exert in relieving the
woe and in eevating the character of society,
Were all who bear the name of Christ as faithful
within their spheres of action, as the Christian
heroine, bv whose exertions the children of sor-
row in Tennessee are to be provided with a

The want OF comma in sentence often 90
confuses the reading, that il is impossible to
make out what is meant by the author. We
give the following as an example:
Every lady in the land
Has twenty nails on each hand,
Five and twenty on hands and feet
This Is true without deceit
The above appears rather pulling, but BY
placing a comma after the words naiis, foe and
