GEN. Taylor and the Abolitionis.s.

The principles of Gen. Taylor are being de,
|velOped at last, and like a good soldier he show.
fight whenever an occasion occurs. The Abo'
%litiOnist and Free Territory men of the Nortf
are all in s fume at certain words recently spoken
by Gen. Taylor, upon the subject of Slavery. il
conversation with Judge Boyd and others of Lou.
I%isiana. The following is from the Natchez
Courier:
The Mobile Advertiser, Of the 9Th instant,
contained The following paragraph, dated Wash.
Iington, Dec. ], under the head Of telegraphic in
telligence: Letters received at Washington by
Gov. Brown, of Mississippi, from F. L. Clai-
borne, Of Natchez, relate a conversation said to
have taken place between Gen. Taylor and S. S.
Boyd, since the election, in which the General
is represented as having earnestly declared, that
when the North attempted TO interfere with the
slave question, he was for drawing the sword
and throwing away the scabbard. This report
is published in the northern papers, and causes
great excitement.
The N. o. Bulletin undertakes to set the mat
ter right by stating, that "not one word was ut
tered having reference to the Rilmot Proviso,
slavery in the Territories, or any other question
growing out Ofthe subject of slavery in the States,
farther than that concerning the right Of prop
erty in slaves in slave States" Gen. Taylor
said, continues the Bulletin, sthat if the NORTH
ern fanatics attempted to interfere with that, he
was in favor of drawing the sword and throw.
ing away the scabbard."
We have no desire to differ with the Bulletin,
but the intelligent reader will at once see that it
was at least very silly in Gen. Taylor to indulge
in threatening remarks about a matter so little
likely to occur. The question of the extension
Of slavery in Territory now free is a practicable
one and before the people, and if Gen. Taylor
spoke sense at all, he spoke upon that question.
In either case, however, his fighting principles
are being developed. Is it the North or the
South that is to be TyIorised?

Cholera and Gold.

Two powerful motives to action are moving
by hundreds the inhabitants of Eastern cities to
the western cost of America-the thirst for gold
and the fear of death. 1t would be difficult to
determine which feeling exerts the greater in
auence over the human mind, hope or tsar-all
will consider them to be the greatest of earthly
motives. Thousands will be carried by their
combined influences from the smiles of friends
and comfortable homes to the waters of the
Pacific, and it will remain for time to show
whether they have bettered their fortunes or
prolonged their lives. Of this. however, we
are well persuaded, that of the number who are
permitted to realize their most sanguine expecta-
lions, but few, very few indeed, will ever again
enjoy that cOntentment and love of home that is
so essential to our happiness.

Clean Aands.-Dr. Wall once, at a din
ner table, very unwisely persisted in playing
with a cork, in such q manner as displayed
a hand long divorced from the lavatory -
One guest happened to express his surprise
to another, and, in too loud a whisper, ex-
claimed, "Hesvens, what a dirty hand !''
The doctor overheard, and turning sharply
round, said: Sir, I'll bet you a guinea there
is a dirtier in the company 'Dons,' re-
piled the first, sure of winning. The guineas
were staked, and the doctor showed his 9TH

The institution Of slavery, he says, is local

the states or territories of the Unit

Congress or any other department of the
