PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY

One year ago the Democratic Convention Resell
we'd Slavery into IAN impracticable abstraction, to
which the democratic party not called upon
TO sacrifice the principles OF over half century "
Finding that course did not win with the free
men of Wisconsin, lin order TO see now smart
they could be for Free soil,r they have at their
late convention in Madison, passed the following
resolution:
Resolved, That we believe it TO be the dut;
of Congress to incorporate the provisions of the
ordinance of 1897, prohibiting Slavery or involun-
tary servitude, into all Territorial organic acts
hereafter to be passed. and 10 oppose the admission
into the Union Of any new Slave State
The object OF this resolution is too plain to be
misunderstood by any. They hope thereby TO
catch few az least of the Free Soil votes but in
this we presume they will be again disappointed.
The truth is, as was expressed by Mr.. Cothren in
the Madison convention, the doctrine that Con
sress has power over Slavery in the Territories
is not democratic, and we ask the voters of Wis
consin to watch the course of the Locoioco party
in relation TO these matters.

CHAPTER ".
Pr

Although the month of March had hardly
commenced, the weather was magnificent, and
| would have thought il even hot, had 1t not
been for a charming breeze which brought Us
the keen and viyIfying perfumes of the sea.
The moon rose clear and brilliant, from be-
hind mount Cagna, and appeared to shed cas-
cddes Of light over the whole of the western
slope, which divides Corsica into two parts,
and makes two almost entirely distinct coun-
tries Of the Island-always in hatred. if not
at war with each other. As we assembled, the
gorges where the Tayaro flows. buried them
selves more and moro in the night, the dark
ness Of which, the eye yaInly sought TO pen
citrate, and we saw the Mediterranean sea,
calm, like a vast mirror of brOnZed steel,
spread itself on the horizon. Certain sounds
and noises peculiar to the night, be 1t that
they are drowned by the noise of the day, OF
be II that they actually wake up with the
darkness OF the night, were heard, and pro-
duced, not in Lucien, who, being familiar
with them, might not recognize them. but IN
me, to whom they were strange, singular SEN
sations of surprise, and kept up in my mind
that continual emotion, which gives 4 more
powerful interest 10 all we see.
Arrived 1t place where the road made a
fork, one branch seeming to wind all round
the mountain. and small, hardly perceptible
foot-path ascending directly, Lucien made a
halt
= Let US see. said Lucien, have you the
foot Of a mountainecrl
= The footl yes, but not the eye.
- That means you have the vertigo.
- Yes, the empty space attracts NE ire
slstibly.
- Then we had better take this path, which
offers no precipices, but only difficulties Of the
ground.
o, as for obstacles and difficulties of
the ground, | care not.
- Well then, let US take this path, We
viii gain three-quarterS of an hour.
- Let us take this path.
: I.ucien was the first TO enter and push hnh-
self through a small grove of green oak. in
which followed him. Diamante marched
fifty or sixty PAGES ahead of US, ranging the
wood to the right and left, sometimes coming
back the path again, joyfully wagging his
tail as assurance to us that we might with
OUT danrer. and confding In his instinct,
continue our route quietly. One could see
that, like the horses of those halt-tashlona-
hles, Stockholders in the morning, hons IN
the evening, and who have the same horse
