No UNION WITH ABoLlTioNIsTs."-The
Cincinnati Herald" speaking of the debate
in the Senate on the Oregon bill, says:
"Mr Foote further stated that if Mr.. Van
Buren, and Mr.. Adams were elected. South
ern men would not consent to sit and legis-
late under their government"
Such action would he no matter for sur
prise provided the administration of Van Bu-
rem was as anti-slavery as some have expect
pected it to be. 1t would be but the practi-
cal adoption Of the converse of the doctrine
of the American A. S. Society-it would be
NO union with Abolitionists." If the pre-
misses which the South has laid down in re-
gard to the rightfulness of slavery is worth
defending, then a refusal to unite with those
who believe it wrong and seek to abolish it,
is the proper course 4; and it is equally pro-
per for abolitionists to refuse a like political
union with Shareholders. The idea that men
who hate slavery, can sit down and l~egislate
with menstealers I" TO establish justice, insure
domestic tranquility, provide for the common
defence, promote the general welfare, and Sc
cure the blessings of liberty to themselves
and their posterity," is an absurdity that
none but pro-slavery democrats could ever
have invented and it would not be tolerated
for a single instant, had not our fathers stu
pidly Tor wickedly) resolved to venture upor
rthe uniried experiment, and left a yet NOR,
stupid (or wicked) posterity to repeat it at
ter it had been fully tested and found de
s%tructive to every principle which men an;
Christians are bound to cherish.

MEETINGS 1 Ora WORD Coll. w.
Curtis, and J. w. Walker, designed visiting
Crawford Co. Pa. on an anti-slavery missions;
the latter, however, having been taken sick
on the way there, the former will proceed
alone. We hope though that the friends in
that section will not suffer him to feel that
he is alone in their midst; but will aid him
in his labors, and certify to the Western
A. S, Society which he repre- sents by sub
Siantidi tokens, their appreciation of his ser
vices. Are there not abolitionists enough
there who are able and willing, not only to
sustain him while laboring there, but
to furnish the society with means - send
their agents into less liberal communities!
We hope to hear a good report of Craw ford
county.

ANOTHER " WORD OF EXPLANATIoN."-D
Bailey as editor OF the Era, is as unfortunate
in his illusions to Gen. Taylor as when he
conducted the "Cincinnati Herald" The
following extract from his paper will show
how exceedingly cautious he must be in his
reference to /" that noble officer" as he call
ed him in the Herald.

that Mr.. Smith was too honest to remain edi.
tor of the Hartford Courant, a TAYLOR paper.
Sir, | like to see Free Soil papers anywhere.
but be hanged it, l like you to speak so dis.
respectfully of the noble General Taylor.
Yours in heart,
J. X. T., Zone Of your suJscriJers.)
G. Bailey, jun.
Well-we say nothing about General Tay-
lor-but one of our subscribers :" must un-
derstand us. We meant that Mr.. Smith,
having become convinced that General Tay-
Tor ought not to be supported for the Presi-
dency. was too honest TO continue editor of
the Hartford Courant, a paper devoted to
Taylor-in other words, too honest to think
one way, and speak another.
A SleN.-A thousand little things show
an increase of anti-slavery feeling in the
land /; and when a Democratic paper tries TO
make Cass seem a little l%inctured with it, de-
pend upon it the pressure must be powerful.

There are some Wings, preierring another ia
Taylor, but stIi much preicrring him either 10
Cass or Van buren,, who determine TO take nc
part in the election, and in order TO do il, re-
solve not 10 ro'e al ALL
Do snch persons consider tina, their refusal to
vote is in effect vote for Csss? Yet they
would scout the idea that they could ever be in
duccd to vote for him Either Cas- or Taylor
will be elecicd-no sane man doubts that, and
every freeman mus, choose between them aud
them alone. He nua in effect vote for one Or
the other. He cannot arOid it. Ii he is perfect
~ indifferent which Of these two persons Is elect
ed then he will act reasonably enough in with
holding his vote. But II he has any preference
for one of them and votes for neither, he in fact
gives half a'vote for The other.
To prove this, suppose two persons who pre-
fer Taylor withhold their votes, and ON counting
the votes in this State, il is found that Cas- has
one plurality. OF course, he has the vote Of this
Statc--but how Does he not owe it 10 the
refusal Of the two Wings to vote? They pre-
fcrrcd Taylor aud il they had both voted fos
him, be would have had one plurality, ind car
ied the State. Both refusing to vote, was equiv
nlcnt to one voting for Cas- and the other for
Taylor, for il they had so voted, Cass would
have been in the same position as he WINS before
they voted, having still one plurality. Yet prob
ably both would resent the charge of voting for
Cas-.

II II do not, as was at first supposed, remove all
susceptibility Of small pox, il, in ninety-nine
cases out Of hundred converts dangerous
disease into a safe one. By avoiding immediate
exposure to small pox, and by proper precau-
tons on the part Of those in attendance on the
sick, the spread Of the disease is limited.
Against tho three other diseases no such mo-
lection is at present known. Yet their presence
in town, though their miasm extends through
the air widely as that Of small pox, does not
ever excite such unreasonable panic as has
been shown about one secluded case of small
! pox. II certainly becomes the duty Of the au-
thorities of the town, while acting under the

IL IS becoming great practice with the peo-
pie at this day, to require an immense amount
OF !. new roads" and perhaps built to increase
their own private benefit, more than they are
really beneficial to the public. II Is necessary,
IN many instances, that new road should be
LAID out and built, to improve the old one, or TO
remedy some evil in it but j, is no more than
true, that great share of the new roads are but
little, u any better than the old ones and some,
IN reality, are not quite as good-they are either
more crooked, or else not half made. 1t is an
opinion deeply cherished by many, that if few
certain individuals require a road to pass near
their possessions, they must 81 get up petition"
and solicit those in town mostly benefited by its
adol ton, TO sign II, and as many more persons
IN the adjoining town, who would be likely to
travel It, as is in their power TO obtain. It IL
also true, that individuals residing out of town
care but little about the expense of our own
town, in regard to this matter. When a petit
ton is presented to them for their signature, il
is speedily signed, II they are only told that it is
TO afford to them a neU tray Of entering "a the

The STRANGE CASE IN SURGERY"-We
gave some account few weeks ago, of the al
most miraculous case of Mr. Gage, foreman on
the railroad in Cavendish, who, in preparing a
charge for blasting rock, had an iron bar driy-
en- through his head, entering through his cheek,
aud passing out at the top Of his head, with
force that carried the bar some rods, after per
forming It's wonderful journey through skull and
brains, The iron was in diameter an inch and
a quarter, and in length three feet and seven
inches; the upper end Of the iron, however, TIA
perins to the diameter Of one fourth of an inch.
I've repeat the dimensions OF the rod, as we OBJ
serve that some Of the papers that copied the
article, substituted the word circumference for
diameter, thinking, perhaps, the story told in
that way, would be quite as large as could well
be believed. But we refer to this surprising
case again to say that the patient not only sur
wives, but is much improved; the wound in his
head has healed, the scuftle in his roof Is closing
up, and he is likely to be out again, with no vis-
i6lc injury but the loss of an eyel
