And i cannot but think, that many.
If not most, Of the difficulties with
which we are surrounded, have
grown out of the great error the
South committed in 1886, by running
a man, and eIecting him to the Chief
executive office of the Government,
who admitted the jurisdiction OF Con.
gress over the subject of slavery in
the District of Columbia and in the
Territories. If the Congress had in.

continued agitation of the question.

of this (thaD paper
A grave, a grave, Heroes grave,
Great WASHINGTON lies here;
Who could approach and coldly leave,
This tomb without tear.
A tear, a tear, NATION wept,
And well she might deplore.
When WAsHINoroN lay down and slept,
To wake alas no more.
Oh, mighty death! thy fearful dart,
Its mighliest conquest won,
That moment when it pierced the heart,
or dealhless Washington.
Deathess indeed that glorious name,
Shall i've when stars expire;
Seraphic scribes, enroll his fame,
With pens of living fire.
Time may roll on, and sweep the earth
OF kings, and crowns and names,
The mightiest Of the mightiest birth,
With all their pompous claims
And times "undainty tooth" shall eat
Inscriptions boast and pride
Those monuments of wealth and state
Where naughty despoIs died -
His fomb may moulder through neglect,
oh shame sad shame! to say
Imp yiny sinful disrespecl,
To him who WON THE DAY;-
But every breeze which fans the sky,
And whispers through the grove,
The zephyr's first and latest sigh,
In pensive mourning love;
And every warbling bird which sings
hatin, or vesper lay,
lis quota Of his tribute brings
Through earth and air and sea.
And every wave that roams the deep
To lash the distant strand,
In all their wild tumutuous sweep
Astounding every land
Untiring in It's ceasleSS course
To spread his matchleSs fame;
Perpetual M ltioH, draws It's force,
From his ILLUSTRIOUS NAME.

CAIIFoRNIA AND Mr.. WEBsTER.-We
have now species Of Commercial panic
on the subject Of disunior, and the adjud-
cation of the question arising from the
slavery agtation-All the moral and con-
sttutional appliances Of the south have
failed TO enrgait their ultra views upon the
policy Of the country, we are subjected TO a
subtle experiment upon The pockets and
business hearts of the north. There is
some apprehension that stock jobhers and
exchange brokers will accomplish what
statesmen and philosophers have sIgnally
failed 10 cOEsumaie--that Wall street will
prove more potent than all the logic and
addresses Of the slavery controversialistsl
The fact is that southern tact and penes
tration has, at last, strick upon our weak
point and will gain more from Yankee
crpdity and avarice than il ud wres;
from the sturdy honesty and patriotism Of
the Yankee character, when they are die
sociated with the cramping atmosphere Of
the exchange and the counting ROOM
Threaten the North with depression Of
their trade--wilh a cent more 10 the pound
Of cotton, and the establishment Of facto-
ries in the southland you have reached
their judgment--you have carried them
away in a perfect whirl Of conviction.
This is humiliating enough-but is il

Mercilcss DespOtism.

The commissioner at Detroit has decided
that he must under the fugitive law, deliver
up the colored man now in jail there EVEN IF
he PRODUCES FREE PAPERS!
Can this outrage be justified? Ought such
ViIlianous wrong to be tolerated? 1t has
desposism's bloodiest look upon it, and should
be wiped OF al any cost
Think oft!
A master in Tennessee tells his slave that
he may have MS freedom, if he will pay him a
certain sum. The slave works for it. Night
and day he worksthat hemay clutch the boon,
1t is life to him-iife for him. After years Of
hard toll. he gets enough; he goes to bis mas
ter he pays him the sum; he receives his free
papers; and, startingof, freeman for Free
State, he settles in Detroit.
This Fugitive Slave law passes.
The Tennessee master reads it. He needs
money. He can make speculation. lie knows
where his former slave lives. and he determines
to have him. He goes to Detroit seizes him
swears him to be his slave The poor fellow
saws TO his master-"I bought my freedom
You know did. paid you dollar by dollar
forit, earned by years ofsweat and bard labor .
The master laughs at him. The freed slave
turns to the court, and pleads-"l have free
papers-here they are; proof of my freedom
here it is" The commissioner says-"l
cannot help you-this is no proof under the
law. cannot receive it. / must deliver you
up to the claimant"
This Is the Detroit case Could human
atrocity domore, and shall it be eouutenanced
Must we mask this monstrous outrage?
