~ We insert to-day two poetical produc-
tons of the anti-slavery school, one bya poet Of
Pttsburg, the other by poetess of the East,
The popular effect of ballads is we'll known and
is good deal employed by the fanatics. We
give these as specimens Of many we have seen.
in order that our Southern readers may know
the agencies employed against them.
1t is a eat mistake to suppose that the Abo-
litonsts are either few in number, or inferior
in talents, standing or wealth at the North
They have their full proportion of all. They
gave sixty thousand rotes at the late elections in
Ohio, New York and Massachusetts, notwth-
standing both the national parties in those
States conform to them so much. And as a
further evidence of their spirit and zeal, the
National Era, their organ in this city, has sub
scription of fifteen thousand-the largest of any
paper here
To suppose that with party thus numerous
and thus induced with ZEAL ability, wealth and
influence, we are to have peace on the slavery
question, is one of the most extravagant chime
ras of the day.

Mississippi, from the judgment of his lsgi.la.

Mississippi from the Judgment of his lsgisla-
ture,-that he does not represent the State, and
that her interests are unsafe In his hands.-This
is more remarkable, because of the astonishment
with which he regarded similar conduct on the
part Of Senator BENTON, during the past year.
ltwould be Improbable to follow farther the
devious course Of this eccentric Senator. He
sought and obtained public notice, he has his re-
ward. 1t was proper that he should be assigned
his proper place in the drama which has been per-
formed-that the true actors who had previ
Gus purpose long conceived, and cordially cher
ished and fostered-who well knew the value of
agents, and the inducements which would secure
these, should be brought into public view. If a
debt of gratitude be due, let it be paid to those
who hold the obligation. If responsibility rest
upon them, let them bear it. 1t is of those willy,
deep, designing politicians to whom allusion has
already been made, those fishers for men, who
bait their hooks with little men, and thus en-
snare their prey, to whom the attention Of the
reader shall be called before this subject shall
pass from our hands. Skiful sportsmen who
with fly can catch a salmon.-Who resort to
professedy retired politicians to obtain letters
from them in advance of a vote on the Com.
promise measures, in reply to those addressed to
them, by one whose services have been so
promptly rendered and cordially received These
letters like oracular responses, admit of two con-
structicns, lest they might harm the writer
Admit the wrong done the South but suggest
the propriety of accepting the Communication, be-.
cause the best that can be obtained. Like the
man in the story, who when questioned by a
stranger about his acquaintance with free
booter, looked up and sighed, then looked down
and smiled, being prepared for any further en-
quiry that might be made Of them it is pro-
posed to write, of CLAY, and CAss, and WEE
srER and lesser names, to show from history
that the extinction of slavery was the object of
the compromise, and those who designed it.

Fall of Parties.

The majority in the Georgia Convention, that
adopted the report and resolutions, met after
wards, and formed political coalition or Union
party, to supersede the Wing and Democratic
parties of that State. Messrs. TooMBs and
SrErHENs were foremost in the movement.
Thus perish the two great national parties in
Georgia. They were not strong enough to
contend singly with the Southern party-and
had to combine.
There will be an amusing tumbing of plat
forms and falling overheard Of national politi-
clans all over the country. The coalition, if it
extends as it will and must to other States, will
contain entirely too many office seekers for
the coalition to accommodate, and it will be
found the most divided Union party that has
yet been seen.

DELIBERATE AND SINGULAR SUIcInE-Yes-
terday afternoon n large sized mastiff, fine
looking animal, was seen walking moderately
but directly down Lumber street, towards the
river. On close examination it was discovered
that he had in some manner become seriously
wounded, there being large cash laying open
IN different parts Of his body. On being called
or spoken to, he paied no attention, but contin-
ued his course towards the river, and upon
reaching the dock plunged off, swan a few feet
out into the stream, dove under and was seen
no more. This was witnessed nv number of
persons.-(A Albany Erening Atlas)

GEORGIA Convention.

The fourth resolution reported by the CON-
mittee Of 80 to ths Georgia Convention, was in
these words:
Fourthly, That the State of Georgia, in the
judgment Of this convention, will and ought to
resist even Gas last resori) to disruption of
every tie which binds her to the Union, any fl
ture act Of Congress, ab,liShing siare,y IN he
District Of Columbia, toithOut the consent and
pelninn of the Stare Opaers thereof, or ana act
a6oiishing siarery in places pithin the sLauehoh-
ing Stites, purchased by The United States, fur
he erection Of forts, magazines, arsenaGs, dock
yards, nary yards, a.d other Hkr purposes of
any act suppressing. the slave trade between
slaveholding States, or in any refusal to admit
as State any territory hereafter applying, be-
cause of the existence of slavery therein or in
any act prohibiting the introduction of slaves in
to the territories of Utah and New Mexico, or
any act appealing or materially modifying the
laws now in force for the recovery of fugitive
slaves.
And we inferred from the telegraphic des-
patch that it was passed, rs reported. But this
was not the case. 1t was changed to the fol-
lowing:
Fourthly, That the State of Georgia, 10 the
Judgment Of this convention, will and ought to
resist, even (,s last res0rt,l to disruption Of
every tie which bind her to the Union, any action
Of Congress, upon the slavery in the District of
Columbia, or in places subject to the jurisdiction
OF Congress, incompatible with the safety, the
domestic tranquility, the rights and the honor
of the slaveholding States, or any acts suppress
ing the slave trade between slaveholding States,
or any refusal to admit rs a State any territory
hereafter applying, because of the existence of
slavery therein; or any act prohibiting the in
PRODUCTION Of slaves into the territories of Utah
and New Mexico, or any act repeating or mate
rally modifying the law now in force for tho re-
covery of fugitive slaves.
1t will be seen that the Convention declined
making the issue of Disunon on the abolition
Of slavery in this District even without the con-
sent of the owners, or on the abolition of slav-
cry in the forts, arsenals and dock yards. This
was definite issue, by which submissionsts
might be embarrassed, so the words were alter
ed to the more vague expression of doing any
thing incompatible in the premises with the
safety, the domestic tranquility, the rights and
the honor of the slaveholding States.
The original form was weak enough. This
is 80 vague that it amounts to nothing-but
words.

THE BABES IN THE SNow.-A correspondent
of the Boston Transcript narrates a singular in
cdent which happened in the village Of Pied
mont, n H., last week. Two little children,
one five and the other three years of age, strayed
from home. Not returning ut dark, general
search throughout the night was made by the
people of the village. In tn, morning the chill
dren were discovered in an open field lying
upon the frozen ground and locked in each Others
arms, one sleeping soundly aud The other awake.
Although the night was severe one, the little
ones have shown rs yet no i'll effects from the
exposure 1t is wonderful! how two such little
children could pass n "inter's night upon the
frozen ground without perishing.
