A Wing Freeman.

The Cotton Lords have considerable DIFF
ficulty in whipping in the New England
editors into the support Of Gen. TAYLOR,
though they have had the influence to turn
out number of honest men, and substi-
tute more servile Instruments. Still,
some Of them speak their mind, and in a
way at once nervous and indignant, at the
betrayal Of the whig party to Southern
task-masters. The Roxbury Gazette, a
Massachusetts wing paper. sarcestically
remarks:
Gen. Taylor once said that if he could
have his way there never should be an
other President north of Mason and Dix
on's line. He can have his way. We,
poor souls, like the plan. 1t is our great
est pride to be allowed the privilege Of
voting for shareholders. John Tyier was
only small Virginia STAKEHOLDER. 7ay-
lor is one Of your big Louisiana chaps,
and Louisiana is the hell of slavery.

apparent objects other than to elect maj
in favor Of extending slavery over The

A Witty Lecture.

The following extract from the report
Of a committee on Hogs, read before an
Agricultural Society ''down east,'' con-
talns some excellent hints:
again; some folks accuse pigs of be.
ing filthy in their habits, and negligent in
their personal appearance. But whether
food is best eaten off the ground, or from
China plates, is, it seems to us, merely a
mater of taste andsconvellience, about
which pigs andnencan honestly differ
They onglfa6R.to be judged charitably.
Al any rate pigs are not filthy enough to
chew tobacco, nor to poison their breath
by drinking whiskey. And as to their
personal appearance, you don't catch one
playing the dandy, nor the females among
them picking their way through the mud,
IN kid slippers. Notwithstanding their
heterodox notions, hogs have some excel
lent traits of character. If one chances
to wallow little deeper in some mire-hole
Than his fellows and so carries off and come
In poSsessian of more of this earth than
his brethren, he never assumes an extra
Importance on that account, neither are his
brethren stupid enough to worship him
tor 1t. Their only question seems to be,
is ne still hog? 1.-The is, treat him as such.
And II hog has no merits of his own,
ne never puts on aristocratic airs, nor
claims any particular respect on account
OF his family connections; and yet some
hogs have descended from very ancient
families. They understand full well, the
common sense maxim, every tub must
stand on its own bottom'.''

The Hacks Of st. Domingo.

The problem of free Government o.
blacks is about to be solved in the Islanc
of St. Domingo. From the time Of the
successful efforts of Tonissant and other
black chiefs to raise the inhabitants of thi.
beautiful Island from bondage TO freedom
j to the present time, their doings have beer
viewed with interest here and have excl
ted general attention. We have endeavor.
cd, since the late troubles at Port al
! Prince, to give allthe intelligence brough
to this port by vessels, some Of which NJ
doubt was exaggerated, and at times per.
haps, partook in part of fiction Gin the
latter of which may probably be classed
the news brought by the Panchita yester-
day, Of massacres and blood drinking near
Jacmel.) One cause of the defective in
telligence from this Island is, that the
American merchants there dare not write
Of passing events, fearing the vengeance
of the Government, who examine all their
letters. But with all the exaggerated
stories, there is no doubt that affairs in
Hayti are in fearful state, and no one
can tell what the result may be.
An American merchant writes that the
question whether or not the American
merchants will stay upon the Island, will
depend, in great degree, upon the sup
port they receive from the American Gov
eminent. He says that the course Of the
President to the South has been traced
with blood as well of the innocent as the
guilty. He is mere shadow Of power.
and may at any time disappear and give
place to some one even more sanguinary,
Another merchant writes that he can
give no orders for goods, having no Sc
curity for the future.
Will not the United States Government
interfere in time to save an important
trade from being utterly annihilated. The
British Government. the letter says, were
about to increase their force in that quar-
ter by the addition Of several men-ofwar;
and our Government should send on an
equal number.
