The author of this little book was not long
since Teacher in the Female Department at
obcrlin, where, if We have not been misinform-
cd, she suffered much from the injustice of GER
tain members of the Faculty, and was at length
compelled to resign her situation. The book is
very we'll written, and imparts much informa-
ton respecting the social habits of the people of
Georgia, and particularly in relation to the
workings of slavery.

REDFELD, NJ. ID. New York J. S. Rcdfeld.
Those who have seen the first number of
Redfeld's work will be glad to know that No. 2
is now out of press. The author has probably
studied the subject OH which he writes more
thoroughly than any other man in the country,
and his system deserves at least candid exami-
nation.

This is a queer pamphlet. The author is
wholly unknown to us, except as this work re-
veals him. He is rather mystical in some of
his notions, and not very coherent or methodi-
cal in the expression of them; but he is evil
IDENTIFY laboring for the good of mankind, and
has succeeded in telling great deal of impor-
tant truth in an odd way.

He has also declared, says the Washington

Brown Speaker Of the House of Repre-
sentatives. The facts on this subject are
too recent and too familiar to the public
mind to make it necessary for US to dwell
upon them. II is true that when the dis
graceful plot came to be developed, the
Southern ultraists found it to be conve-
nient to make vast display Of wrath
and indignation, but they could not
thus cover up their own shame. The
sympathy which we insist exists, and has
for some time existed, between the fanatics
ofthe North and South, appeared once more.
Messrs. MEADE and VENABLE, when they
undertook to make Mr.. Brown Speaker Of
the House of Representatives, with the
assistance of Messrs. GiDDINGs and Will
MOT, knew we'll on what basis they acted.
When it was said that this conjunction of
kindred, though opposite, spirits was to
fill the chair, every body exclaimed that
GIDDINGs & Co. had made conditions
with Brown MEADE, VENABLE, ct I'd
omne genus, kneD it; or if not, the proof
of the fact was so plain and damnng as
to amount to the same thing. But the
Southern agitators did not hesitate; they
had before them an object dear to their
hearts-to embarrass President TAYLOR
and his Administration - and any tool
would answer for such an ignoble end.
This was their immediate object. Many
believe they have an Interior purpose, and
that they hope so to infame the public
mind, and to embarrass public affairs, as
ultimately to dislocate the Government
itself and overturn our glorious Union.
That many of the Abolitionists mean dis
union, is certain; and that the ultraism Of
portion of the South is drifting in the same
direction, is equally certain; but we would
direct the attention of all such agitators to
the impressive language Of Chief Magis-
trate who says what he means, and will do
what he says. There is no portion of
President TAYLoR's message which has
called forth more emphatic and universal
commentator from the country than the
closing sentence " WHATEVER DAN
GERS MAY THREATEN THE UNION, | SHALL
STAND BY 1T AND MAINTAIN 1T IN IT'S IN
TEGRITY, TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE
OBLIGATIONS IMPOSED AND THE POWERS
CONFERRED ON ME BY THE CoNsTITU-
TIoN.n

This volume has been now but few months be-
fore the public, during which we understand that
some 10000 copies have been circulated. The fact
is sufficient to show that the deceased statesman
has found worthy biographer. Designed for
popular use, and prepared from the materials ex
isting in public documents and journals, 1t is a
book, nevertheless, that cannot fail TO be read with
interest by the scholar well as the masses The
writer seems imbued with sincere reverence for
the great man whose career he chronicles, and de-
pcts its various eyentful incidents with spirit and
fidelity. There is no book that we now remember
which presents in the same compass much that
is interesting in our history during the period of
which it treats.

Of whom have been born and brought up

that those who deal in slaves here are
far more guilty than those who follow the
African slave trade. Their victims are
enlightened, and suffer more"
This means, if it means any thing, that
those who sell slaves in the Southern
country-which Mr.. MEADE says is an
occupation of "the sons of the Presidents"
in Virginia--deserve hanging!
The time was when such remarks would
have called down torrent of abuse from
the chivalry. But now how changed !!
GA fellow-feeling makes us wondrous
kind" Mr.. GIDDINGs is for disorganiza-
ton. Messrs. BAYLY, MEADE, and others
threaten disunion, and both, opposing and
villiiying General TAYLOR, whose only
offence has been his illustrious services, are
becoming more friendly in their associa-
tons. For example: Mr.. GIDDINGs on the
day referred to had spoken more than once,
and was pronounced out Of order. He
imploringly asked, as reported, "Have !
no friend here who will ask leave for me
to proceed ~ Well, who is this "friendW
Mr.. McMULLEN, from the land of the
"sons of the Presidents" as Mr.. MEADE
calls them. Yes, Mr.. McMULLEN, from
Virginia, is reported to have asked leave
for Mr.. GIDnINGs to proceed in the speech
declaring that those who sold slaves ought
to be hung!
But this is not all. II was observed that
day in the House, that several Southern
Democrats drew up their chairs in front of
the Clerks table, and were listening atten-
lively, giving "aid and comfort" and APP
parently applauding Mr.. GIDDINcs in this
speech; and among these Southern gentle
men were Messrs. BAYLY, Of Va, and VEN
ABLE, Of North Carolina. Their conduct
excited attention-more than their support
of Mr.. BRowN, of Indiana, for Speaker
but they are consistent. They applaud
GIDDINGs, when denouncing their constitu-
ents as deserving hanging, for the same
reason that they supported Mr.. Brown.
Both GIDDINGs and Brown sing the songs
of the Union in venomous abuse Of Gen
eral TAYLOR.
Extremes will meet. McMULLEN, GID-
DINGs, BAYLY, VENABLE, and Brown of
Indiana Are not these gentlemen sad
mirably qualified for abusing the hero of

A few DAYS since in the House of Repre-

can read them without being struck with
