ANOTHER OBJECT PROTECTION 1t is obvious tina

tcuar whether these aborers in this important branch of
industry ought to- be forthwith protected 10y tariff
gold Surely the paups labor of the Russian mines should
not be allowed to compete with free labor in California
We suggest the idea 10 neghbor, who is mighty on
protection in general He immortalze himself
by pursuing the happy thought fhe will do the brilliant
he ought shall be silent to claim for the
uggestion, and give him the entire credit Now, Prem
ce, is chance for immortality. If you don't take it's
fault You can't say do not give you the hint
Nobody should be allowed to import geld. 1t will in

ting it every two hours as long as the symp-
toms continued urgent. gave also the oil
of peppermint, and repeatedly applied the
spirit Of Camphor, with friction, TO the re-
gion Of the stomach. The next day they
were both well again, excepting OF course
some debility from the preceding nights at
tack. They had both eaten freely the day
before OF a dish of strinGed beans, and | re-
marked that each upward evacuation of The
stomach, brought with it some OF these beans,
in precisely the same state in which they had
been eaten twelve hours before.
A European merchant Of MY acquaintance
residing in Galata, arose one morning, and
took a sea bath, as he was accustomed to do.
lie then attended to various matters of bust
ness, which required him TO walk several
miles back and forth in this city. He re-
turned to his lodgings quite i'll, sometime in
the aitefnoof, and before night of the same
day he was a corpse, having died of a most
violent attack of cholera ! This case was
reported as one Of death almost on the very
first attack, but ascertained, on inquiry, that
this individual had been suffering with dlar-
rhoa for eight or ten days previous
A protestant American was very violently
attacked one night, with what his physician
Ch''A' ''t " NV u 10 VI tlV''io ~
had ever Witnessed" lie died within TWEEN
ty-four hours! The facts concerning the
case however are these. lie had had a ST.
milar attack two or three weeks previous,
and had been cured, by the blessing of God
on the remedies mentioned above. The day
before his second attack, while he was still
weak from the first, he walked many miles
and became very much fatigued, and certain
circumstances had also very much agitated
his mind. lie ate a hearty meal in the eve
ming, partly of beans and meat, which no
doubt was the immediate cause Of the attack;
and after the diarrhea commenced, nothing
was done to check it for several hours, and
when, at last u physician was called, 1t was
too late!
Fain would | hope that our beloved coun-
try may be saved from the ravages Of this
scourge but this can hardly be expected.
1t will probably come, and come to many,
as a thief in the night" although the warn
ing has been long and loud. The class OF
people among whom it makes its greatest
desolations, are those who use habitually the
intoxicating cup. | don't know that even
the %strictest attention to the rules | have Civ
en- above, will avail to save the drunkard
when he is once attacked. When the seeds
Of this disease are cast into such a mans
system, it is like striking fire into a box o.
finder. The whole internal coating of his
stomach, besides-other vital organs, are at
ready diseased, and he is a subject of which
the cholera will make very short work. Il

kards will be suddenly ushered into eternity
by this dire disease! y * n ,

The Buffalo Hunt.

From the following extract from an article
in the "New Orleans Delta," it will be seen
that a repetition OF the Texas game may be
expected and that those engaged in it will
have no regard to the rights Of Mexico, or
the faith of treaties. The respectable free
hooters who are interested in the scheme arc
as bold in the avowal of their object as though
they were engaged in an honest enterprise,
that any act or plan designed for the extern
sion OF perpetuity of the Southern area OF
Freedom, will be tolerated, if not justified.
When General Shields assumed the govern
mcnt of Tampico, the Mexicans became so
enamored of our Institutions and our admin
~istration of justice, and so disguised with
the old rule, by which their trade and inie-
rests, as well as their freedom and rights had
been so long oppressed, that they expressed
to the General their desire to throw oil the
Mexican yoke. General Shields, being
called of 10 Join General SCOTS army, had
no time TO act upon their propositions but
when Col. Gates assumed the government OF
T'aInpico, the same proposals, emanating
from lne HESl CIliaGIS VI . dllItSOs Z
to him through Col. De ltussy, of the Louis
lana volunteers. These proposals were &C
q~uiesced in and sanctioned by the State 60
vernments of TamauliPas and Nuevo Leon
as well as by many wealthy citizens of Co
ahuila. They proposed to declare themselve'
independent of Mexico, to assume their por
ton Of the indemnity to be paid TO the Unite'
States, and 10 make no objection to the re
tention of the country by The American au
thorities until the wal was closed, when the.
would resume their independence. Thee
are facts which can easily be dispIoved,
they never occurred. .
Col. Gates discouraged these propositions
and the matter was dropped for a while

ture Of Mexico, Gen. Shields was assignee

From TIE "A. s. Standard.
=" The COnquerOrS Of the New World
and their BOndSmen."

This is the title of a historical work, the
first volume Of which has just been publish
ed in London. Ii is the beginning Of an in
tended complete history of Slavery, and,
though the author has brought his narrative
down only as far as the year 1912, is inte-
resting as showing the small seed from which
this deadly Upas tree has sprung. Think
ing that our readers will be interested in fol-
lowing the author in his course, We shall
note the chief matters which have struck US
in reading the book, preserving the order Of
chronology.
The first slaves brought from Africa in
modern times were ten negroes, whom, in
the year ll42, Antonio Goncalvez obtained
in exchange for two Moors. These Moors,
who were always looked Upon as Legitimate
plumber, had been seized by Goncalvez upon
the Coast of Africa, he having been sent out
by Prince Henry of Portugal on a voyage of
discovery. Soon after (l174,) we find that
a trade in negro slaves had grown up. Afri-
can slaves had by this time, we are told, be-
come very numerous in Seville. These
were treated very kindly, *
being allowed TO keep their dances and festi-
walls, and one of them was named mayoral
of the rest. ,Uho protected them against their
masters and before the courts Of lato, and also

:" TO a celebrated negro, Guam de Valladolid,
commonly called the Negro Count" nominal
ting him 10 this Office. Among other passages
in this letter is the following because we
know your suf1iciency, ability and good dis
position, we constitute you mGyoral and
Judge, &C." 1t is t~olerably evident that
Ferdinand and Isabella had but a limited
knowledge of those nicer prophecies which
regulate the conduct of republicans toward
persons of different complexion. Moreover
il would appear that the inherent incapacity
for-self-protection theory had not yet been
preached, for we find here a black man not
only allowed TO take care Of himself, but ap-
pointed TO the charge Of others. We would
not deal too hardly with their Catholic ma
~jesties for their shortcomings in these particu-
lars, it being above three hundred years since
they have been dead, and, perhaps, (f inter-
ferfng with the designs of Providence in the
case Of Ham be any thing something worse.
All along during these first years OF the
slave trade, the ostensible chief motive Of
the persons in power who encouraged 1t was
the eternal salvation of the Africans. And
we can easily suppose them TO be sincere
without supposing any very prodlgioui
amount of benevolence on their part. Tn,
truth is, that in most cases, probably, thel
charity began at nome and tarried there
