SOUTHERN PRO. SLAVERY.

Inc American Statesman replies to some stric-
lures OF the Tribune on resolutions adopted by
the Democrats of Georgia, as follows:
There is undoubtedly an inconsistency in the
professions OF Democracy which pretend to advo.
cate equality OF rights among mankind, and vet
DO not oppose slavery, as it exists in the SOUTH
But il is unfair on the part OF the Tribune to
charge the Democratic party at the South as the
advocates OF Slavery, and hoIdthe Wings blame
less
The pro slavery sentiment, go prevalent at the
South, is not party sentiment. II is based upon
areai or imaginary interest in that species OF
property, so called, peculiar TO the Slave States
individuals there are in both parties at the South
who acknowledge that slavery is morally wrong.
and anxiously hope Tor the arrival Of the day
when it will be peaceably abolished. This feel.
ing is perhaps more prevalent among Democrats
than among Wings. Politicians there may be
among t Wings who openly profess hostility to
The Slave institution. But among the masses OF
the people will be found large nlmber OF Dem.
ocrats who detest the institution, and feel the
degradation it produces. 1t is unjust and ilIiber~
al to accuse either party at the South as beng
me friends OF the institution OF slavery, or at the
North as being the enemies OF that institution
we care not with what party man may act, or
what is professions are, he cannot be Democrat
unless he opposes, TO the extent of the con-
sututionai power, the existence OF slavery in any
and all forms.
The Wing party Of the South gave Taylor, who
is large STAKEHOLDER niger vote than thew
ever gave to any candidate for the Presidency
Many Democrats of the South voted for TAYLOR
because they imagined the interests of the Slave
power were safe in his hands. At the North,
though the Wings pretend to be the party Of oppo-
sition to Slavery, yet they supported Taylor with
zeal aud energy. In the face OF these facts it is
grossly absurd to charge the Democracy OF any
section the Union with being the exclusive adj
voca,es Of Slavery. But, the contrary, the re.
fusal OF large portion OF the Democratic party OF
the North to support what was claimed 10 be a
regular nomination OF the party, on the very
ground that the candidate for the Presidency was
supposed to favor Southern views on the Slavery
question, is an evidence that opposition to STA.

stronger degree than It does an the Whig par

either for amusement orto capture the fish that

EXPERIMENTS ON SALMON AND ELS
Strange as il may seem, il would certainly appear
from his Mr.. Young, manager Of the duke of
Suthland's fsheries] observations that a salmon
may be kept for any length OF time in river
without growing beyond the weight of two to
tour ounces and he showed me specimens OF sal
mon which, though OF perfect form and condi
ton, did not exceed that size; whereas had thew
been allowed TO reach the sea, they would az the
same age have weighed from six TO ten pounds
each. The growth oil salmon when in the sea ia
wonderful, 1t having been indisputably proved.
that salmon has grown eleven pounds six oun
ces during he short period of five weeks and two
days; the FISH, having been marked on its pas
sage TO the sea, was caught again in the same
river, when ascending after an interval Of that
duration. Mr.. Young told me also that his Young
family of salmon try, which he Matched and Ike pi
confined in ponds connected with the river al
ways become perfectly tame, and the moment
that he steps on the plank laid across the ponds
for the purpose OF feeding the hsh from, thew all
flock around him, ready to dart at the food he puts
in. In some of the ponds he had put number
OF small cells, which soon grew in size and be-
came as tame and familiar as the young salmon ;
as the cold weather came on, the ees all disap
peared, and he supposed that they had managed
to escape, led by their instinct to take refuge in
some deeper pools. However, one fine day.
when he had long ceased to think OF his slimv
pets, he happened TO pass over one of the planks.
when he was delighted to see them all issue out
from under the stones, asking for food, as if day
only, instead of mary weeks, had passed since he
last had fed them. Does not this most clearly
prove that eels lie dormant during cold weather
