From the So. Louis Repeille.
Old YarginnY vs. Sue kerdOm.

An Illinois Sucker took great dislike to
foolish young virginian who, few week.
since, was fellow passenger with him on one o.
our steamboats,. The Virginian was continu
ally combing his hair, brushing his coat oil
busting his boots--to all of which movements
the Sucker took exceptions, as being what h'
termed ga leetle TOO darned nice, by half
He finally drew up his chair beside the Virgin
ian, and began
'Whar might you be from, stranger!'
Il am from Virginia, SIR politely answered
the gent.
'From Old varginny, I'spose !says the Suck
'Yes, sir, Old Virginia. was the reply.
you air poorly high up in the pictures thar,
'spose,' continued the first.
Il don't know what you mean by that re-
mark, SIR says the Virgnisn.
oh, nuhln,' says the Sucker, 'but that you
are desp'rate rich, and hev ben brought up
right nice.'
If the information will crafty you in any
way says the gent, patronizingly, smoothing
down his hair, Il belong to one 81 the yirn
Jan,ilies."
oh! in course,' answered the Sucker.
SWELL, stranger, bein as you belong to the furst,
I'll jest give you two Of the fullest shoats in all
Illinois ef you'll only find me fellar that be-
longs to one Of the second Virginny families
you want 10 quarrel with me, sir says the
Virginian.
mo, stranger, not an atom answered the
Sucker, 'but never seed one OF the second
family, and I'd gin suthin to git sight of one
an 'em. | know you air one Of the furst,
,canse you looL so. lii. J~i'- RansoiPh.
This mollited the virginian-the hint OF a
resemblance to the Statesman was fattetlng to
his feelings, and he acknowledged relationship
to the orator.
He, you know continued the Sucker, was
desc endunt OF the Ingin gal Pocahontas.'
sYou are right, sir answered the other
well, stranger said the Sucker, 'do you
know thar is anuher queer thing allys puzzles
me, and It's this-I never seed Virginnyln
that didn't claim to be either descended from
an Ingin, John Randolph or nigger'
We need not add that the Sucker rolled of
his chair-suddenly! They were separated,
and kept apart until the Sucker got off at
landing near his home. As he stepped ashore,
he caught ght Of the Virginian on the upper
deck, and hailed him at once with
Il say, Old virgnny, remember-two tat
shoats for the first fellar you find that belongs
to the second Hirginny family"

Nature and Art.

When Eve, the first of womankind,
As Queen of Eden roved,
Her thoughts were pure as mountain wind,
And all who saw her loved.
The eagle screamed lofty note,
The lion tossed his name,
And cen the linners little throat
Essayed q fattering strain.
Those eyes-=sbe lip-the soul-fraught face
These won the first Of men;
Each movement gave to life a grace
There were no 6tsile then.

ALLEeoRIcAL "A traveller, setting out upon
a long journey was assailed on the road 10y
ours, mastiffs, and half grown puppies, which
came out from their kennels to bark at him as
he passed along He often dismounted from
his horse to drive them back with stones and
sticks, into their hiding places. This opera
ton was repeated every day, and sometimes
as often as twenty times day. The conse-
ouenee was that more than half the travellers
time wa. consumed in chasing these dogs ana
young puppies. AT last he was overtaken
by a neighbor who wa. going the same road
but who had had set out long time after him.
The latter traveller was very much surprised
TO find the other no farther on hi, journey, and
on hearing the reason, Alas" said he,"is it
posi- BILE that you have lost your time, and was
ted your strength IN this idle occupation >
These same animals have beset me along the
road : bat have saved my time and my labor
in taking no notice Of their barkingsf while
you have lost yours in resentng insults which
did you no harm, and chsstising dogs and
puppies whose manners you CON nsvsr mend ;"

should have some meaning, and therefore,
submit the following amendment 10 the res
olutions Of the Senator from Ohio:
Add in the 9Th line after the word govern
ment, these words
"And manifesting the sincerity of their
purpose by instituting the measures for the
immediate emancipation Of the slaves Of all
the colonies of the republic"
When we send such a resolution as that
sir, the French people will be informed of
the object Of our sympathy. 1t will assure
them that in our judgment they have indeed
done something tangible in the cause of Ii
berry and humanity, on account Of which the
heart Of the American people is filled with
Joy and gladness. The French people have
not made a mere empty declaration of their
attachment, TO the cause Of liberty. They
have not declared the people free and yet re-
tain their fellow creatures in bondage. They
have thus done something which deserves
the congratulations of the whole world. |
move that the amendment be printed for the
use Of the Senate, and that it be referred to
the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Mr.. Downes, of Louisiana, opposed the
reference proposed.
Mr.. Calhoun thought it premature 10 act
upon the resolution. The French people
have overthrow a powerful monarchy and
decree the establishment Of a Republic, with
the most wonderful facility, without blood
shed or confusion; but he thought we should
wait AMI see whether they first firmly eslab-
lished a republican form Of government be-
fore we proceed to interfere. Our govern
ment should be cautious, and ought to wait
until we received the resllt of the convention
to be assembled on the Goth Of April. MIR.
Calhoun concluded by moving that the joint
resolutions be laid on the table, expressly on
the ground that these were premature.
The yeas and nays were demanded and
stood as foIlows-yeas ID, nays %.
Mr.. Allen moved to make them the spe-
cial order of the day for the first of May xext.
Mr.. Underwood, Of Kentucky, thought the
first Monday in May too soon, as time would
not be allowed for this government to be pro-
perly informed as to the results Of such a
| speedy revolution, with the sudden CONVEX
sion Of a monarchy into a republic.
Mr.. Douglass, Of ILL.,, was opposed to de-
lay. What credit would il do TO ourselves,
and what good to France if we wait until the
struggle shall be over before we offer sym
pathy? if our congratulations and our sympa-
thies are to depend on the final success of
the people and not upon the merits of the eff
fort itself that they had made glorious by
striking for libertyl Now was the time to
offer our congratulations and sympathy. At
ter some further debate,
Mr.. H~ennegan, of Indiana, Chairman of
the Committee on Foreign Relations, moved
that the Senate 60 into executive session.
He said there was a case of individual liber-
ty awaiting the action Of the Senate. The
motion was agreed to-, and the doors were
closed. When they were opened the Senate
adjourned.
The discussion was subsequently renew
ed-the proposed amendment was rejected
30 to /. The resolution was afterwards
adopted 3s in the affirmative, none in the
negative.

COMMUNICATIONS.
Agitation.

To a critical observer of people and things,
the social, moral and intellectual aspect of
the times opens a boundless field for obsor-
vation and reflection. And to minds which
have been accustomed to examine consequent
ces without tracing them back to their eau
ses-to look at the detached fragments Of re-
formatory movements without comprehend
ing the nature of the systems to which they
belong, and of which they are component
parts, the agitation which is visible around
and among us seems TO be ominous Of some
great evil, the nature of which is vet to be
disclosed. But to minds which have been
accustomed to contemplate the Present in
conncXion with the Past and Future,-to
connect consequences with causes and 10 ar
range them SO as TO calculate upon future
events,-the present commotion is an evil
dence that a social and moral revolution is
progressing, the ultimate results of which
will conduce 10 the happiness of the human
race. Society seems to be sadly cucumber
ed with anti-progressive spirits which are
perfectly satisfied with the world as they find
it; and which wish to preserve its usages
and Institutions unchanged for the especial
benefit of future generations; and if it would
listen to their syren song, they would lull it
into a morbid repose which would generate
a moral putrifaclion Of the whole body. The
f~raternal unity OF the human race, in their es-
timation, is a project too vast to be underta-
ken by human beings-involving, as it does,
the sacrifice Of present personal %ease-of pop
ularity among the ''upper ten thousand"-
and of usages and institutions, the antiquity
of which is their greatest recommendation
They remind me Of a man floating upon the
current of Niagara, with his eyes closed
his arms folded upon his breast-his ears her
metically sealed against the voice of warn
ing, and steadily refusing 10 avail himself of
any means Of escape from his perllous situ-
ation-because, f%orsooth, if he should fail to
grasp the p%roffered aid, the e%xertion which
he would have to make might quicken his
pace to destruction. The opposers of agita-
ton are not always more consistent than their
neighbors. They admit that society is cor
rupt-that there are evils in the world which
have no business here and which must be
eradicated before the nations of the world can
all be gathered into the fold of Christ. But
they tell us it is dangerous to NEEDLE with
established usages because we shall create an
agitation which, by exposing their defects
and c%orruptions, will endanger their perpetu-
iiy land that it is better to let them remain
as they are than to create an agitation by try
ing to get rid of them! Very well. Let
Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1848-04-21

them remain in the frying pan if they have
no confidence in their ability to jump clear
from the fire.
Why, these people that are so much afraid
of agitation are the greatest agitators in the
world for when they detect an innovation
upon ancient usages, they sound the alarm so
long and loud that they give publicity to
that which, otherwise, might have remained
in obscurity. The enemies of the a%nti-sla-
very cause have contributed, though unwil-
lingly, TO spread its principles; for they have
promulgated them in sections where its
friends are forbidden TO speak. True, they
have sermonized from CARRIED texts and
have attributed to us principles of their own
manufacture, which bear no resemblance to
our genuine coin but their zeal has led them
to admit the vitality Of the cause which they
wish to destroy. Could principles, like
men, be caught a~sleep-they might be des-
troyed without creating an agitation but
Truth, once uttered, never sleeps it has a
thousand lives; and each life begets a thou
sand like itself. Social and moral, as well
as political revolutions, can never be accom-
plished without agitation. The fire, the
whirlwind and the earthquake must pass by
before the people will listen 10 the teachings
Of the %''still, small voice" Tyranny, in any
form, seems 10 be the offspring of habit, or
of a depraved and shallow understandings
How many a Paradise it has transformed in
to a dreary waste land how many a noble
heart and intellect it has crushed in its iron
folds! But the present upheaying OF the
pillows Of society seems to indicate that a
change is at hand-a change which will root
out the absurd supposition that one human
being can innocently depredate upon the
rights of another. And, let it come. Let
mankind learn the relation in which they
stand 10 each other-and act according 10
their knowledge then, farewell TO cruel and
unrighteous war; and a long, a last farewell
to the hell-born institution of American Sla-
very. If the whole superstructure of society
must be overturned in order to exPunge the
Wrong and establish the Right, let it be over
turned, that its foundations may be laid in
equity and that the next generation may be
delivered from the curse which enciIcles the
present like an arm of iron.

The plan took effect wonderfully. All France
was moved and felt a regcnerating spirit
The secret Of peaceful agitation dawned up
tho popular intellect. The power of sem
timent over swords was demonstrated and
entered into the popular mind. Hope thrill
ed through France and her strong men be-
came almost infinitely stronger. Sepenfy-one
mighty reform J%anquets had been held peace
fully throughout France, and every minute
nerve of the mighty national body had been
vivifed with new life. The last and greatest
Of these gatherings was to be held soon after
the assembling the Chambers in the l3Ih ar.
rondissement of Paris.
Ole would have thought frcm what is
known Of England, and any other kingly go
vernment that ever existed after the morHl
power Of a nation was awakened, that the
government Of Louis Philippe would have
treated this last reform banquet with specill
complaisancc, and made a merit of concedinr
much in advance.
But the besotted Louis Philippe seems to
have known no more Of the nature of moral
power than a bulldog does Of the fine arts.
He had all the nations around at his will
Belgium governed by his son-in-law, Spain
the portion of his daughter-in-law. He had
Ahd-el-Kader in chains and a hundred thou
sand spare troops of the line at his command
to keen order in Paris. Who ever thought
himself more firm in the saddle? Ia one
single day he and the world shall be taught
the greatest lesson Sfthe whole book of time,
