North Home-bred Slaves born in their
house, the increase Of fertile heads. These
are an important element in the power and
wealth Of a nation. While South Carolina
has taken men from Africa, and made slaves,
New England has taken possession OF the
Winds, Of the Waters; she has Kidnapped
the Mcrrimack, the Connecticut, the Andfos-
corrin, the kennebeok, the Pen0bscott, and
n hundred smaller streams. She has caught
the lakes Of New Hampshire, and holds them
in thrall. She has seized Fire and Water,
loined them with an iron yoke, aud made an
army Of slaves, powerful, but plant, Con.
slider the machinery moved by such agents
in New England. New York, Pennsylvania;
compare that with the humln machines Of
the South, and which is The better drudge!
The 'Pdirilrchal Institution Of slayery,' and
the economic institution Of machinery stand
side by side-this representing the nineteenth
century before Christ, and thai the nineteenth
after Christ. They run for the same
goal, though slavery started first and had tho
road. 1t is safe TO say, that tho
machinery Of the free States has greater pro.
ductive ability th1n the 5000, 600 bondmen
OF the South. While slavery continues, the
machinery will not appear. Steam-engines
and slaves come Of a different stock"

o. Among the horrible perversions of all
that is good, may be classedsthe destruction
Of Bibles furnished by the benevolence of the
American Bible Society to our army in Mex
leo. The officers Of that society have il in n
form that gives less room to doubt than could
have been wished, that IA large portion of the
Bibles furnished 10 the army under General
Taylor was torn up and used for waddinc
during the battle of Duena Visit. 1t is also
said that one of the general officers on that
field proGaneIy exclaimed, on seeing the de-
slructlon of Bibles,-"My God, how the Cos
pei spreads in Mexico" Such is the demon
spirit OF war-a spirit that completely abro-
gates the laws of heaven, tramples virtue in
the dust, and drains the milk of human kind
ness from the heart.-Cor. Christian .qdv.
And who is it fosters 'the demon spirit Of
war;" if not the churches of this land +! Who
was it taught the soldiers it was their chris
tlan duty to lay waste the cities and villages
Of Mexico, if not the American clergy 3
They who taught the soldiery it was right to
fight, who told them it was in accordance
with the precepts of the Bible to engage in
the war in which they were about to embark,
ave ~ iIBhb CoilpldlH VI lHe uSo WHICH
was made of the Bible at Buena Vista.
Granting TO that book all the s%anctity, all
the inspiration which the most evangelical
claim for it, we must contend that it was a
far less ''horrible perversion" to use its leaves
for wadding, than to construe its best pre-
cepts into a sanction of this most Infamous
war. The former act may have been the
means of destroying the bodies of some hun
dreds Of MeXicans, but the latter DESTROYS
the moral perception Of tens of thousands,
and leads them to commit deeds which make
them a curse 10 themselves and to the world.
The spirit of war would he greatly shorn of
its power 10 "abrogate the laws Of heaven,
trample virtue in the dust, and drain the milk
of human kindness from the heart" had not
the church and clergy placed upon it the
robes of an angel of light, sanclifed it by their
prayers, and sent it forth as one of Gods
agents for the civilization and christianiza-
ton of man.

This kissing of Henry Clay is one of the
most disgusting forms Of man-worship ever
heard of. If report speaks truly, a company
Of "mOdel artists" honored him with a private
exhibition, and he in return honored them by
kissing one or two of the most distinguish
ed.
Some of our readers will perhaps be at a
loss to understand what is meant by "model
artists" 1t is a term applied 10 women who
essay TO give a representation of ancient sta
tuary by an exhibition of their PERSONS

to the office of Judge, while canvassing the
State, thus making the people pay his cleo.
pioneering expenses. The fire became so
hot at the Judge for thus plundering the
Treasury of the State, that he at length re-
signed. The locofocos now poin. to Judge

St. Louis District, and call upon him to fol-
low Kings example. The Democrat" We
ny properly insists on his resigning which
we suppose he has done, or will do, by the
time he draws as much pay as Judge King
did, before he resigned. Since Judge King
has been forced to let 60 of the Treasury,
the locos have been very busy hunting for
some wing who was holding on to one Of
fee and running for another. As their
search has not been very successful, we ad-
wise them TO look at home. For instance,
in this county, they will find Mr.. HENRY

the Legislature, while he is drawing hand
some salary from the government, as Post
Master at GLASGOW!

an intense love they have for the treasury
