to substitute penal fine for the breach of its
provisions. IN place of liberating the slave.
Senator Foote voted for this amendment,

What ia Noble9
BY CHARLES swAIN.

BY CHARLES SWAIN
What is noble? To inherit
Wealth, estate, and proud degreea
There must be some other merit
Higher yet than these for me!
Something greater far mast enter
Into life's majestic span;
Fitted 10 create and centre
True nobility in man!
What s noble? IT'S the finer
Portion of our Mind and Heart;
Linked to something still diviner
Than mere language can impart;
Ever prompting-eyer seeing
Some improvement yet to plan;
To uplift our feIlow-being,
And, like man, to feel for man!
What is noble? Is the sabre
Nobler than the humble spade?
There's dignity in labor
Truer than e'er pomp arrayed!
He who seeks the Minds improvement
Aids the world, in aiding Mind;
Every great commanding movement
Serves not one-but all mankind.
Ger the Forge's heat and ashes,
Ger the Engines iron head,
Where the rapid shuttle flashes,
And the spindle whirls its thread;
There is Labor lowly tending
Each requirement of the hour,
There is genius still extending
Science and its world of power!
Mid the dust, and speed, and clamor
OF the loom-shed and the mill;
Midst the clink of wheel and hammer
Great results are growing still!
Though, too oft, by Fashions creatures,
Work and workers may be blamed;
Commerce need not hide its features!
Industry is not ashamed!
What is noble! That which places
Truth in its enfranchised will;
Leaving steps, like angel-traces,
That mankind may follow still!
Fen though Scorn's malignant glances
Prove him poorest of his clan,
He's the Noble-who advances
Freedom, and the Cause of Mani

OLD DocUMENTs.--It is a part of the stock
in trade of the secessionists, to denounce all
Democratic Union men as traitors to their par
ty. 1t was not considered so in days gone
then a sound Democrat did not mean mad
Disunionist. This was the language of Dem
ocrats of this State in 1884,
Lopndes COunty--At Democratic meeting
held in Columbus, on the 3lst of May, 1884,
Samuel d. Lauderdale, Chairman and VIM
Dowsing, Sacretary--the following resolutions
were reported by A. J. Rose. A. F. Young, T.
NJ. Tucker. VIM. L. Moore and Eli Abbott:
Resolped, That the nulifying dogmas pro-
mulgated and taught by John c. Calhoun and
his followers, are unconstitutional, anti-repub-
lican and delusive, and tend ultimately to an
arehy, confusion and civil war--the sure FORE
runners of slavery and deapotism.
RESOLVED, That we will unite with our breth-
rem of the Democratic Union party of Missis-
sippi, in using all fair constitutional measures
to prevent the spread of the anti-republican
and heretical doctrine of notification in our
common country, and that we will use our
best exertions to preserve the rights of the
State and the people in as ample a manner as
they are guaranteed by the constitution.

Two DUELIsTs.-The Chronicle Of Western
Literature tells the following story Of Col.
Wheatley. 1t may be old, but it is good:
The Colonel, during short sojourn in
Vickshurg, met there some hot-blooded South
erners, with a spirit as fiery as his own. They
quarreled--a challenge was passed and accep-
ted, and the next rising sun was to witness one,
if not both, of their dead bodies, drenched in
blood, to wash out wounded honor. During
the night, the Colonel said, he heard boat
coming up the river, and it struck HIM, as he
heard the boat putting and blowing, that "pru-
dence was the better part of valor." So he
took his trunk upon his shoulder, and stepped,
in the dead of the night, very quietly out of
the hotel As he neared the boat, whom should
he see but his antagonist, at the boat before
him, just going aboard! He returned as he had
gone out, and was on the ground next morning,
with his second, waiting, with disappointed
wrath, for his antagonist, and published him as
an absconding scoundrel Exchange paper.

nThere is curious ordeal in India which
shows the action of fear upon the saliyary
glands. If wrong is committed the suspect
ed persons are got together, and each is requir-
ed to keep quantity of rice in his mouth for
a certain time, and then put it out again; and,
with the greatest certainty, the man who has
done the deed puts it out almost dry, in con-
sequence of the fear of his mind keeping back
the saliva

From the Natchez Courier.
To the Editor of the Courier ~
DEAR SIR have been repeatedly taunted
of late, by one or two of my old democratic
friends, (as they say.) with having fallen from
the good old faith of the democracy. Now,
sir, am man of few words in poIitics-being
a workingman. If have changed, then our
faithful friends throughout the whole country
have changed. | am sure that I am with Sena-
tor Cass on the Union question; am with the
Washington Union, our old faithful paper on
the watch-tower of freedom; am with Sena :
tor w. R. King, Of Alabama, with Howell
Cobb, of Georgia, and with the majority Of
Democrats inevery State of this Republic. 1t
is true that a few have branched off from the
democracy. in this and other States calling
themselves Southern Rights men, but their Sc
ceding has not made me change If they are
attempting to engraft a new shoot upon the
old democratic tree, my resisting their efforts
does not make me less a democrat. Their at
tempt to read me out of the party, because |
viii not consent to add to its creed doctrine
which Andrew Jackson repudated and crushed
is but ridiculous. Who made the isms of South
Carolina q text book of democracya Certainly
none of the fathers of that faith, nor any oi
the National Conventions which have pro-
claimed its opinions.
n am, where have ever been, for the Union
of these States, and bitterly opposed TO any
thing like secession or notification.
