ment be followed up--let il be carried into the
Southern States-let Southern rights party, upon
a Southern platform, either put forward candi-
date, or stand off in the canvass and from the
three highest candidates carried up to the House,
the South may select their man upon their own
terms, and their own principles or public policy.
They will have the balance of power between the
rival candidates, and the game in their hands
This looks to be as clear as the sun.
Here we end the parallel between 1920 and
1850. We trace them from similar causes to the
same results--a breaking up of existing parties
a scrub race-an election by the House, and new
organization of parties, upon new policy in fact,
a new political cycle. Who is to be the President,
nobody knows. 1t can't be Fillmore, nor Web
ster, nor Clay, nor Cass, nor Houston, nor even
Scott, from the strong appearances of the late
elections. The late Castle Garden Union move
ment is blown to the winds. All the movements
for real national candidate are scattered to pieces
A scrub race is inevitable. The South will hold
the balance Of power in the House. III one ,oord,

these, like the Others, were noble specimens of
art. In a recess, near the fire place, the rough
ump-bedstead stood, with its coyerlet of coarse
rug.
h NThat is my bed, said the artist ''you sec |
use no curtains: they are most uuwholesOme,
and breathe as freely aud sleep rs soundly as
if hay upon down and sn0red under velvet
Look there" said he, as he pointed to broad
shelf high above the bed, "that | consider my
chet-dearre; ! think have been more than Il
match for them; have outdone them at last"
Mr.. Burke asked of whom it was he spoke.
"The rats" replied he, 'the nefarous rats, who
robbed me of every thing in the larder. Butno
all is safe; ! keep my food beyond their reach
may now defy all the rats in parish"
|, Barry had no clock, so depended on the eray-
ings his stomach to regulate his meals. By
this unerring guide, which might have shamed
the most correct regulator in watchmaker's
shop, he perceived that il was time for dinner !;
but forgot that he had invited Burke to partake
of it, till reminded by a hint n. eaf "...H

memory; but if you'll just sit down here and

Burke applied all his energies to the bellows,
and had a nice clear fire when Barry returned
with the steak rolled up in cabbage leaves, which
he drew from his pocket from the same receipt
acle he produced parcel of potatoes; bottle
of port was under each arm, and each hand held
a fresh Frenchroll A gridiron was placed on
the fire, and Burke was deputed to act as cook
while Barry performed the part of butler. While
he laid the clotn the old woman boiled the pota-
toes, and at five o'clock, all being duly prepared,
the friends sat down to their repast. Burke's
first essay in cookery was miraculously success
full, for the steak was done to admiration, and of
course greatly reshed by the cook. AS soon
as dinner was despatched, the friends chatted
away over their two bottles of ports till nine
o'clock. Burke was often heard to sag, that this
was one of the most amusing and delightful days

alt appears that overseers of parishes in Lon
don in the habit of contracting with the manu-
facturers of the North for the disposal of their
children; and these manufacturers agree TO take
one IDIOT for every nineteen sane children In this
manner wagon loads of these little creatures are
sent down to be at the perfect disposal of their
| new masters. -. .. '...-.'-.-.-.
! l will take another extract from the evidence of
L. torner, esq, one of the head inspectors of fac
tories. He says
a. "These children were often sent one, two, or
three hundred miles from the place of their birth,
separated for life from all relations and deprived
of the aid which even in their destitute situation
they might derive from friends"
| He describes this as repugnant to humanity
and practice that had been suffered to exist by
| the negligence of the legislature
In referring to the results of this inhuman prac-
tce, he says ...... f.. u.s.. ..'a.-
4" 1t has been known that with bankrupt's
effects gang (If he might use the term) of these
children had been put up for sale, and were adver-
Used publicly as a part Of the property. A most
atrocious instance had come before the king 8
bench, IN which number of these children, ap-
prentIced by parish in London to one manufac-
turer, had been transferred to another, and had
been found by some benevolent persons in a state
Of absolute famine Another case, more horrible
had come to his knowledge, while on a committee
Of the house; that an agreement had been made
tetween a London parish and Lancashire manu-
facturer, by which it was stipulated that with
every t,oenty sound children, one idiot should be
taken"
The London Times of a recent date has letter
Of which the following is an extract
"On Wednesday last we were coming from
Yorkshire to London by the great Northern and
Eastern Counties railway. During the time we
were stopping at the Shelford station we observed
number Of young women employed in clearing
the weeds from field the south side Of the sta
ton, and overlooking them who held in his
hand large stick Our attention was attracted
| to the man from the resemblance which more than
one person remarked he bore to a slave driver al
though the remark was made, that of course he
would never think of using the stick to compel ap-
plication to work Judge what was our astonish-
ment when we actually saw the man beat one of
the girls for neglect Of work. and that so severely
that the poor creature fairly WINGED under the in
Fiction. We could scarcely believe the evidence
OF our eyes that such means of compelling women
to labor were used in our own country"
Will Mr. Thompson say that these people are
free agents'
think, sir, have shown that there is sufficient
material on the other side Of the Atlantic on which
MIR. Thompson might exercise his philanthropy
without coming so far from home. There are

which will bear commenting upon, and with your
permission will turn to the subject again.

BURKE AND THE PAINTER BARRY.-Burke
delighted in lending a helping hand to genius
struggling against adversely; and many who
were wasting their powers in obscurity, were
led by his assistance to the paths of emnence
Barry, the painter, was among those to whom
he had shown great kindness ; he found pleasure
in the society of that eccentric being A long
time had passed without his having seen him
when one day they met accidentally in the street
The greeting was cordial, and Barry invited his
friend to dine with him the next day. Burke
arrived at the appointed hour, and the door was
opened by Dame Ursula as she was called She
at first denied her master, but when Burke men,
toned his name, Barry, who had overheard it.

attire his thin grey hair was all dishevelled
an old and soiled green shade, aud pair OF
mounted spcctaces assisted his sight the color
of his linen was rather equivocal, but was evil
IDENTIFY not fresh from the bleach green; his out
ward garment was kind Of careless roquelaire
He gave Burke Il most hearty welcome, and led
| him into the apartment which served him for
kitchen, parlor, studio, and gallery; it was how
ever, so filled with smoke that its contents re-
manned profound mystery, and Burke was al
most blinded and nearly sutfocated. Barry ex-
pressed the utmost surprise, and appeared ut
tery Mt loss to account for the state of the at
mosphere Burke, however, without endeavor-
ing to explain the mystery on philosophical
principles, at once brought the whole blame of
the annoyance home to Barry-as it came out
that he had removed the stove from its wonted
situation by the chimney-piece, and drawn it into
the very middle of the room. He had mounted
it on an old dripping-pan, to offend the carpet
from the burning ashes he had in vain called
in the assistance of the bellows, no blaze would
come--but volumes Of smoke were pulled out
ever and anon, as if to show that the fire could
do something if it pleased. Burke persuaded
Barry to reinstate the stove i'll its own locality,
and helped him to replace it; this done and the
windows opened, they got rid of the smoke, and
the fire soon looked cut cheerfully enough on
them, as if nothing had happened, Barry in
vited Burke to the upper rooms to look at his
pictures. AS he went on from one to the other,
he applied the sponge and water with which he
was supplied, 10 wash away the dust which OBJ
scured them. Burke was delighted with them,
and with BOrrys history of each, and his disser-
tation as he pointed out its particular beauties.
He then brought him to look at his bedroom
its walls were hung with unframed pictures,
which had also to be freed from the thick COW
ering of dust before they could be admired

A WRITTEN LANGUAGE IN WESTERN AFRICA
One of the Sierra Leone agents Of the Church
Mission Society of London, Rev Mr. KoelIe
has discovered written language existing in
the interior of West Africa--the Wy language.
Mr. Koelle says that the alphabet consists of
about one hundred letters, each representing a
syllable. The new characters are said to have
no analogy with any other known. Mr.. Koelle
has taken passage on board vessel going to
the nearest point from which this Wy nation can
be reached, with the resolution to Investigate
fully this interesting discovery.

RIOT AND Loss OF LIFE.-A friend who arrived
yesterday morning from BlairsviIle gave us a few
particulars of dreadful riot, which occurred
near that place on Friday last, between two
bodies of the laborers on the Pennsylvania rail-
road. Itseeols that these persons, known as the
Lockport men, (from the little town of that
name, and the Packsaddle boys, (the latter, we
believe, deriving their names from one of the
contradictory resolved to decide their differences
by a regular pitched battle. They advanced to-
wards each other, armed with guns, pistols, clubs,
and other weapons Az the first fire four fell
dead and numbers were wounded--some of them
MORALLY. The Lockporters then made charge
upon their opponents and succeeded in com

sources that the militia have been ordered out,
