From the Southern Appeal.
Our COnditiOn-The President.

1t would be difficult for any one tt
prove to our satisfaction that the
Union is not now in the hands of the
freesOiers and abolitinnisis. If we
had cause 10 fear and tremble on ac-
count of what might be the action of
the late deceased President, who was
a Southern man and stakeholder,
whatca1ss is there for terror when
one fills his station, about whose alb
olltiOn principles there can scarce be
doub? lie has had opportunity to
show to the world what were his
opinions on the slavery question, and
he has not failed to improve it. By
his speeches and votes he has proved
himself thorough Northern man with
deeply stained Northern principles.
We suppose tha! no one will deny
that he was run for Vice President for
no worth or merit in himself but for
the sake of the vote of the Empire
State in favor of Gen. Taylor and the
whig principles. Had it been known
that he was 10 occupy the Presidential
Chair for two and half years, we
can scarce believe that, with all his
black delormity of principle, he would
have received half the votes which he
di in The South, for the office to
which he was elected. And now an
inscIutable Providence has placed
him in the highest Office known TO our
laws. What will be the result, God
only can know. We can see only
evil-unmixed, unmlrigated evil-to
the South and the Union.
With all the difficulties and dan.
gers that have pressed upon us, and do
nav, it was bad enough to have a
President who was simply inactive
who looked on with apparent indif-
ference as to the result of threaten
ing dangers-but 20 have one who is
openly against us. furnishes little hope
of an amicable adjustment Of their
difficulties. The freesoilers have a
President even before they expected
it--and will he proportionabIy embold-
ened by this unexpected event.
Our only hope now is, that the
South, being robbed Of the President
of her choice, may he induced to APP
preciate her condition, and take i'm
mediate measures for retraring her
steps. and restoring herself to her lost
ground. The only way yinwhich this
can be done at this late day, is by UNI
ted action Of the South. Without
This, it will not be. in our humble
opinion many months until she will
be compelled to decide between subs
lection 10 the North-Vussalage-and
secession.

A GooD ASECDoTE was related to

who were fighting around him, to put

large sum Of money TO any one who
would kill him. All however. refused.
aud the result was. that he was fe-
moved 10 the vessel, brought To Key

the wound. After he had related the
story. our friend, Capt NJ, who is
something of wag, gave as the rea-
son why they were so unwilling TO

An interesting incident occurred in
Trinity Church yesterday morning.
while the Bishop was engaged in
ordaining some young gentlemen for
the Ministry. The candidates, nine.
teen in number, were kneeling around
the altar, when a merry little Canary
bird entered by one OF the windows,
perching upon the top of the organ,
poured fourth a beautiful song. From
this he flew to a little spire above the
altar, and after another brief song,
the little vocalist returned 10 his favo-
rite retreat in the luxuriant trees that
overshadow the groves in the burial
ground of the church. The incident

President TayIOF'S Illness.

1t appears from the Washington
papers of Tuesday morning. that il
was not till late hour Of the evening
preceding. that the attendant physi.
clans authorized any statemtnt Ofthe
danger ofthe President. They desig-
nate his disease as "bilious remittent
lever, following an attack of severe
cholera moEhus." The IpIelIigeneer
says "his illness colinnPnccu on fT1.
day. with an attack Of cholera NOR
bus, which appeared to yield to medic.
al treatment. but afterwards assumed a
different and more threatening type"
Thus it appears TO have been a conse>
quence of the fatigues of the public
ceremonies of the preceding day, ag>
gravated by the excessive heat
The violent and entire change of his
habits of living. necessarily attendant
on his residence in Washington, must
have rendered Gen. TAYLOR peculiar
ly subject to attacks OF this sort. and
his vigor was no doubt much impair.
ed by the illness Of last summer.

HYPooRIsY.-It is fact stated by
Hon. II. A Wise, in a recent speech
at Richmond, Va, that of twenty two
vessels detected in the slave trade,
nineteen were from ports north Of
Baltimore. This shows what amount
of sincerity, there is in the profession
Of many northern men. While some
Of them are denouncing the institu-
tions of slavery in the South. another
portion are stealing negroes from Az
rica. and violating the laws and con-

New Mode OF Raising Wheat.

The Buffalo Republican states that
an experiment has been tried in Iowa,
where two bushels Of wheat and one
Of oats were mixed and sown togeth>
er in the fall. on an acre, The oats
shot up rapidly, and were of course
cut down by the frost. They, howev-
er, furnished a warm covering for the
earth, and when the snow fell among
the thick stalks and leaves, they kept
it from blowing away. This covering
prevented winterkiIIing Of the wheat
and the oats yielded a rich crop-dres
sing for the crop the following spring.
The result was-An abundant crop.
while the land, precisely similar, along
side Of it. and treated in the same
manner with the exception Of emitting
the oats, was utterly worthless.
