Northern Views.

The Cleaveland (Ohio) True Democrat, in an
article on the effects of the Compromise, urges
its friends 10 complete the work so successfully
commenced
We extract from its article the following
bill Of the entertainment to which we are in-
vited y
'The North has the power, as we have shown,
to limit slavery, and begin the work Of emanci-
patton. II can impart new hope and life, give
freedom and education TO the nonslaveholders
of the South. 1t can start on new career OF
Improvement these eight hundred thousand
adults, and rescue them from the oppression OF
the fe,o shareholders. And if it does not; If,
having the power, il refuses TO exert it for this
end, emancipation in the South is foregone
conclusion. and slavery extension and perpetual
ton certainty. The statement is enough NO
freeman should ask for more. 1t is enough to
rouse in him all the power he has-to concen-
trate mind, heart and soul, as, with one voice
and one purpose, he demands, with unfaltering
courage, the repeal Of the Fugitive Slave bill
and the modification Of the Territorial bills
so as TO erclude slavery from New Mexico and
Utah.
For these grave reasons, we hold the duty
Of the North to be, as regards the late Com
promise, to declare, as its settled policy, these
principles:
l.. The repeal Of the Fugitive bill.
2. The exclusion of slavery from our Terri
tories.
3. No more slave States

I,indomania "in Athens. -

The American Athens as the literati Of Bos-
ton delight in designating their city, has recent.
ly proven its right TO that title, by the reception
of G. y. r. JAMES, the novelist, and Jenny Lind,
the singer, respectively. While the former, gen
tleman of unquesiioned talents and high literary
reputation, delivered bis first and second lectures
to "beggary account of empty boxes" the
crash and competition among the 'hunkeys" to
excel the New York demonstrations towards
the Nightingale. have awakened the contempt
even of their own organs.
The mayor and aldermen of Boston paid her
a formal visit and so fulsome was the fIattery
of the formers set speech that the good sense
of the Swedish singer revolted at and re-
buked it. He is thus reported:
"It is not your superI.uman musical endow-
ments that has captiyatcd our senses; It's your
stnblemished prirafe character, and-"Ilere the
lady, who had, up to this time, listened with
rofound attention to the mayor, interrupted
him, and said--"Ah, sir, You praise me too
much" After these words, she paused and
looked earnestly, [probably she wanted to ret
out, and then continued-a What do you kno,o OF
my pricate character What CAN you know OF
my private character? Sir, am 10 better than
other peopIe--no better" These words she
uttered with great apparent earnestness, and all
the time she spoke, her brilliant eyes looked
sincerity, and her countenance beamad with the
expression Of truth"
.'There was an admixturc OF another sort Of
meanness in all this parade. Upon the door
plate of the guests bed chamber was engraved
4 suggestion Of the pecurary proftabeness of
charity-a standing hint at q donation to the
city institutions
The Boston Post shoots this fo.ly rs it flies
in the following paragraphs:
"THE REAL THNo.-We have heard that a
musical amateur, being present in a room where
Jenny Lind was the marx of all observers, saw
il fiy aght upon her cheek. Jenny brushed it
off. The gentleman's eye followed the fly until
he saw it alight on a window; there he cap
tured it; and pouring from his snufi-boX It's
contents, he put the fly therein, raised the box
to his lips, and then reverentiaIly placed it in
his bosom! The buzz Of th.t fly was sweeter
than tiageolet."
A gentleman who had his pocket picked on
Saturday evening of black morocco wallet,
lined with red silk, respectfully requests the
rogue to senu it, and the papers it contained, to
the Boston Post Office; and, if perfectly conve-
nient, the victim would be also glad TO receive
enough of the money to buy ticket to Jenny's
last concert, rs by the robbery he is left deci.

few members in attendance adjourned over till

Northern Sympathy for the Black.

Every day furnishes additional proofs that the
main spring Of the Northern movement against
the South is q political more than fanatical
one, and prompted more by hatred for the
master than love for the negro. They will use
every srtifice to seduce and steal away the slave
from his master, and then either half starve
him or drive him beyond their own borders
to the deadly jungles of Africa, or the Ito hiin)
equally fatal SHOWS of Canada
The following statement, clipped from an
Ohio paper, details n proceeding, which, if it
had happened at the South, would have been
paraded in all the Northern papers as "Shock-
ing Cruelty" Revolving Barbarismm or some
thing equally alarming:
LYycHryG A NEGRO MAS.--In Xenia, Ohio,
last week, as we learn from the Cincinnati
Times, a negro man, who had been guilty of
maltreating his wife for several days in success
sion, fell into the hands Of some of the boys
about town, who took him to Roberts Grove,
rapred him, tied him TO tree, and administered
one hundred lashes with a raw hide, well laid
on. He was then released under promise that
he would leave town within twenty-four hours
promise be faithfully adhered to.

unless the free masses OF the country assert
their rights and take their institutions into their

From The Boston Journal.

The PorATo DISEASE. We continue to hear
from all quarters sad and dscouraging accounts OF
the ravages of the Potato Disease. The editor of
the Newburyport Herald, who few days since
visited several Of the largest farms in New Hamp-
shire, gives disheartening report Of the prospect
of the crop in that region. He says:
ssWe saw hundreds of acres on our route,
covered with potatoes, rotten, and perished in the
hill. There were but few fields in which as many
could be saved as were planted On uncovering
the hills you find the potatoes black, rotten, and
entirely decayed, and in several places we found
those which were taken from the ground three or
four weeks ago, and housed, were perlshng quite
as rapidly under the dry rot, end some which, a
week or a fortnight ago were placed in the barns
and cellars sound and good, were being carted to
the manure heap"
He also saw in Northampton very large field
belonging to one farm, in which there were esti-
mated to be between two and three thousand
bushels. from which Just four weeks previous had
been taken out the choicest kind Of potatoes, now
utterly worthless, not sound tuber to be found
The town collector Of Rye informed the editor of
the Herald, that out of 1000 bushels, the an
nua product Of that town, there would not be
1000 bushels saved
Our foreign papers received this morning. make
mention Of the ravages Of the disease in the old
world. The Dublin Evening Mail states that in
the south of ireland, with the exception of the
mountain districts, the crop of potatoes will be
more than an average one; but from Newcastle,
in Limerick to Drnge, in Kerry, the returns
will be very small. Other crops look extremely
well.
In Scotland, the potato crop, as whole, is
sound, but the tubers unusually small. In the
north of France, and in Flanders, the failure of
the potato crop is much more extensive than it is
in England or Ireland The papers state that the
"accouns from America are excellent, and give rem
son to expect large supply from that part Of the
world IAN expectation in which they viii be
sadly disappointed.
The southern press., 1850-10-04

A large number of the best citizens of Aaba-
ma have called rpon the Governor of that State,
to convene the Legislature with view to resistance
to the recent outrages of Congress upon Southern
rights The Dallas Gazette publishes the call
signed by many respectable citizens, and says
"Everv signature was procured in an hour or
two, and, if delay had been thought advisable,
we have no doubt nineteen twentieths of the peo-
pie OF Dallas could have been procured to sign It,"
The indications ofa spirit Of resistance to the late
outrages upon us, are coming IN from Mississippi,
Georgia, &C., and as lightly as some pacayune
abolition yankee sheets speak of IT, we believe II
will grow, strengthen and spread, until it shall not
oply command respect, but recover our rights and
vindicate our character as a brave and independent

Planks OF tho Northern National
Platforma

The following platform on the Slavery Cues
ton was laid down by the Wing State Conven-
ton of Massachusetts which has just adjourned.
Can any Southern Wing take seat on such a
platform, or fraternize with those who do7
Resoteed, That Massachusetts avows her un-
alterabe determination to maintain all the prin-
cirles and purposes she has in times past af-
firned and re-atlirmed, in relation to the extern
sion OF slavery--and The measure of success
which has attended her exertions is a new in
centive to continue and persevere in all consti-
tuflonal Efforts till The great and good cork shall
be accomplished and perfected
Resolred, That it is the duty of all true friends
OF freedom, 10 and out of Congress- to watch
the progress of the present free Territories of
New Mexico and Utah, and to favor the adop-
ton of all practicable measures to secure their
early admission as States into the Union, with
Constitutions like that of their elder and free
sister--California
Resolred, That the Wing party is National
party--and not a local party: there are Wings
at the South who have stood by its fortunes
with as much firmness and devotion as Wings
of the northi and although on questions which
are local in their character and bearing, differ
ferences may doubtless arise, yet, on great ques.
tons, which are national in their character and
importance, the Wing party of the Union is ONE.

Its true members support the Constitution in
its purity, and the USloN as it is
The following is also one of the planks OF
the Democratic platform in the same State
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED AT THE DEMOCRATIC
MEETING In LYNN, SEPT. 2S, ls50-Resolred
That we cordially respond to the resolutions
passed by the late Democratic State Convention
and pledge to the Democracy of the State our
hearty ard energetic support Of Boutwell, and
Cushnlan, our worthy and able candidates for
governor and lieutenant governor in the ap-
proaching election.
Rcsoire9, That we are in favor of the course
recommended by the convention, viz: "That in
order to carry into effect the reforms so much
needed in the legislation Of Massachusetts, il
will be the duty of Democrats to combine all
the forces they eau command, so far rs it can be
done without compromising their principles or
their integrity to obtain majority against the
Wing party in the legislature.
Resolved That in accordance with the above
recoinmei dation, we are in favor of union of
all the friends Of State reform in the county of
Essex, and that we will support union ticket
for senators of good men and true, should such
a ticket be fairly nominated, with full confidence
that such ticket can be and ought to be elected.
Resolrsd That we approve of the resolutions
passed at the district convention holden at Sa-
lem in August las, in opposition 10 the erfension
of siauer4 and that we IRE in favor OF using all
consti utional and proper means to place the
government of these United States, forever, ac-
lively and perpetually on the side of freedom.
