20 Egnally 10 Kentucky 10 rob the shareholders
there of their slaves, he delights now in the
hope that Congress viii rob the slaveholding
States Of their territorial rights. And although
he is jealous to preventwar between the despots
of Europe by Peace Congress, he dwells even
in the above article with unction, first on the
robbery and then on the @hogging" of the South
ern States of this Union.
As for our Quakerism or consistency, we will
hardly discuss it with luckless aspirant for the
petty fame Of little love stories. AS for our
military knowledge, he may be better Judge
than we. He is certainly well disciplined, since
he is compelled to hold even his pen from de-
elaring his real sentiments, and keeps in impene-
trable editorial ambuscade. He even tries to
disguise his dullness by his malignty. Such a
man could never be dragged out of his hiding
place to come down "into different parts of the
South" with "a few regiments" and "formi-
dable navy" If he should, we should suppose
it would require about the same sort of military
skill to capture him, as to catch a 'possum, and
there are boys enough there to do that.

Mr. YULEE, from the Committee on Naval
Affairs, presented report from Professor John
Locke, of Cinsinnatti, setting forth the meteoro.
logical, mathematical and nautical importance Of
his recently invented electro-mas netical Chrome
graph, the value Of which is perhaps scarcely
second to the ascertained propuIsive force OF the
electromagnetic engine of Professor Page Re

too prudent to permit his name to appear. There
are other reasons for this exclusion. He is an
emancipationist, bitter and vindictive, but has
not the courage, or is not permitted, to write his
real sentiments in the editorial columns of the
Journal lie, therefore, sometimes writes what
he calls communications for the Journal, and
signs them anonymously. He resortcd to this
expedient during the attempt at emancipation
made last year in Kentucky, and united with
several other persons in circular sent to Ohio
and other Northern States, to solicit money 10
aid in circulating emancipation documents IN
Kentucky In his communications to the Jour-
nal, he attacked the Lecture on "the North and
the South" by the senior editor of this paper,
but his failure in this effort was even more sig
nal than his previous ones, and could not pro-
woke us to reply.
After that, he attempted to figure in n meet
ing at Louisville, to get up delegation to the
Peace Congress to be held a. Frankfort on the
Maine-to persuade the Emperor of Russia, Louis
Napoleon, and the Queen of Great Britain, to
quit fighting and refer their qnarrels to grand
international Federal Congress of Philanthro-
pists.
Such is the man-an emancipationist without
the courage or the liberty to avow his sentiments
in kentucky, in the paper he helps to conduct.
But he avengcs himself by denouncng with
bitter magnity, all who are distinguished for
their resistance to Northern aggression. His
highest conception of justice 10 the slave is iden

With soft, black shining curls,
And lookeih more bewitching
Than host of rompidg gir,s;
Her laugh is so delicious
So knowing, clear beside.

SoOn to become a bride.
Her dress, though made Of sab!es,
Gives roundiiess to ler form-
A tsach Of something thoughtful.
A wi:chn winning charm;
And when he its down by you,
With quiet, easy grace,
At ar may fall unbidden,
Or n smile light up her face.
Her voice is of:--melodious-
And lute-like init tone,
She sometimes sighs. "Tis dreadful
Topass through life alone;"
And hen he'll tell you. you remin her
Of the loved one dea! an gone,
Yor steps, y"ur form, yow features;
Thus the wi 'ow will run on.
