Pro and Con,

The squabbles of the partizans on both sides
expose the rottenness of their respective factions,
on the slavery question, in the Northwest. The
feeble efforts of the Administration organ to
clear the skirts ofsthe Wing party of the stain
of Free-soil, are the most ludicrous things in
this line--beng promptly exposed and ridiculed
by the Democratic opposition.
We subjoin specimen, furnishing text and
comments:
The election of members of Congress in
Michigan is Free-Soil, and mol a Wing triumph,
if they are of the character ascribed to them
II matters but little whether an opponent OF the
Wing Administration is an out-and-out Loco
foco' or a mongrel, with more Frees than
anything else in his composition. Wing is
not Wing unless he supports Wing measures
as Swallowed forth in the policy Of the Wing
Observation-Disclosures Com--Adp.
Both Of the Wing Congressman elect in this
State, are pledged to speedy repeat OF the
Fugitive slave law, one of the "Whig measures
as Swallowed forth in the policy OF the Wing
Administration" The Wing party of this State
are all of the mongrel stripe, as defined by the
Buffalo Advertiser. With one exception, every
Wing in the House of Representatives, last
week, voted to instruct our senators, and re.
quest our representatives, to advocate the
speedy repeal" Of the Fugitive slave law

Graf, even, was elected to an office under it, and
the editor of the Louisville Journal himself has
threatened, doubtless in order to render the char
ter perfectly odious to the people, to be elected
himself next time.
The next time the people Of Kentucky or
Louisyille undertake to make constitutions, we
advise them, instead of taking counsel of school
masters, imported or indigenous, to send dep
utation of citizens To South Carolina, whore the
science Of government is understood.

titon Of the stereotyped arguments" against
the justice Of any complaint ON the part of
Southern men, thus puts the finishing touch to
his work.
"The only advantage that these South Caro-
lima fanatics have over the fremont Temple in
cendaries of Boston and their correspondents,
is simply this: the former mean disunion, rebel
lion, secession, treason, and they say so boldly !;
the latter know that their doctrines and measures
will lead to disunion--that they can triumph
only over the ruins Of the American Church
and the American State !" but only "a very few Of
them have the manliness to avow that they in
tend this result. Both are equally disunonsts;
but the Hbolitionists embellish their treason
with cowardice."
We rejoice TO perceive that some compunc-
tions of conscience have been manifested in the
closing paragraph, and that in one point at least
the editor could give the preference to the @South
Carolina fanatics" over his brethren of Boston,
" who embellsh their treason with cowardice."
!. 1t shows some returning glimpses Of grace,
after the sweeping ayowal made just above, that
the treason of Laurens district was worse, if
possible, than the treason Of the fremont tenn
pie in Boston, But what is consistency
justice--when weighed against the triumph of
the Compromise, and the Administration, over all
g factious" opponents, whether actuated by the
hope Of more plumber, or the determination of
resisting that already wrung from weakness, and
repeiiins repetitions.
We arr not to be provoked into an argument
with the Republic on topics already worn thread
bare-on falacies abandoned long since ytheir
originators--and on parallels which are as in
sulting rs they arc ridiculous, which selfre-
spect would forbid any fair opponent to insti-
tute, or any party interested to notice, save with
scornful indifference. But we have referred to
this matter mainly to show two things
Firstly, the shutting and cowardly policy of
an Administration which helplessly lies between
the assailants and the defenders Of the Consti-
tution-the shigher law" men, and those who
own no charter but the Constitution
"Like feather betwixt castle wall
And heavy brunt Of cannon BALI
And, secondly, 10 expose the shallow device
by which the special organ of the Administra-
ton seeks to divert public attention from the
outrageous conduct of the Bostonians, and to
divide and break the weight of public indigna-
ton visited upon them, BY shifting some Of the
load to the shoulders of the disunonists" Of
the South.
The lapwing deems its device very cunning
one to lure away the traveller from its uest, but
he is indeed a shallow and an ignorant person
that can be thus deluded. So, the editor of tie
RepuJHc-who has, like the President, been
taught from early youth to regard with yenera-
ton that ancient commonwealth" of which he
is son--as vainly will strive to screen bis Bos.
ton brethren from the crushing weight of a GEN.

tors and her people has drawn down upon them.

rARLrAMENrARY rRooErp1res.

Parliament for the past few days has gone on
smoothly, simply because no one has any expec-
tations, and disappointment is therefore out Of
the question. In the Queens speech at the op-
ening Of the session, promise Of chancery re-
form was one Of the most welcome Ingredients,
but the measure has been introduced this week,
and is so ridiculously feeble rs to be scarcely
worthy Of attention. The over worked chan
celor is to have little help, not from new as.
sistants, but from other judges who have already
more than they can attend to, and this, with the
removal Of the enormous church patronage
which he now enjoys, into the hands Of the gov
eminent, seems TO constitute the marrow Of the
whole scheme. TIE motion for an extension

LoSDoS, April 4.
Although as far as trade is concerned, there Is
healthy business throughout the country
generally, and at tie same time sound political
views are everywhere making progress, there
never was time Of such utter absence of any
external signs Of life. The past week has az
forded nothing Of interest, nor is there anything
in prospect. The ministry continue to enjoy
liberation which is far more humiliating than the
most severe defeat Foreign movements, con.
fined as they are 10 the small intrigues of the
various rulers, are wholly disregarded, and 10
complete the stagnation, commercial enterprise
still remains without any new channel, the only
vent for the irrepressible desire Of speculation
being found in an occasional revival Of the worn.
out follies of the share or mining market. Per.
haps this is the stiffness Of an age preceding
new birth.

WALISTER THE MAGICIAN AND THE

McAlister the famous magician, was passing
through one of our markets the other morning,
accompanied by 4 friend when they suddenly

"Yaw, dey ish very fresh" was the reply.

tie wo'naa cyeing him closely when to-
her increasing surprise. out dropped a $40

"Irathcr like these eggs he quietly remark

"Oh, nonsense, my good woman what is
that to .y9a so yon get your pay returned Mac.
".it all events, let me have one more egg"
and so saying he took another egg, which he
broke and extracted another gold piece.
The woman now refused to sell another egg
at any price. Whereupon the magician and
his companion, paying for the damage they
had done continued their walk through the
market. After some little time they returned
to.the scene of egg exploit, when to their asteise
ishment, behold! the Dutch woman had crowd
around her, and was smashing her eggs as fast
as she could but looking in vain for the gold
pieces.
Why what is the matter good woman!"
said McAlister.

Du:ch woman could stand it no longer. but
seiziny one side OF the basket dashed her fist
