HOW MANY WILL BE SAVED?


Pardon me Mr.. Editor, for troubling youi
readers with a few thoughts that press upon
my mind. In these sad disjointed times, when

peruse and think of any thing whatever, that
does not smack of politics. lam n firm be.

cANADA.-A dispatch from Toronto, says
that sat large anti-slayery meeting, called by
the Mayor, on the evening of the 27th ut. a
society was formed, called "the Anti-Slavery
society of Canada the declared object of which
is to aid in the extinction of slavery all over
the world, and to manifest sympathy with fu-
gitiyes from American bondage"
This is rather tall undertaking we think,
for a people who have shown that they were
most miserably incompetent to free themselves
from British bondage. If Canada does not
keep quietin reference TO this matter, we shall
have to amer her, ard extend the Fugitive
slave law. over her.

can make it convenient to do so, will attend.
We are truly gratifed to learn that the num-
Der of students in the College and preparatory
department has been greater during the present
term than at any preceding period, and we
hope that this institution, in hich our citizens
have just cause of pride, is now on the high
road to triumphant success. A full notice OF
the order of exercises, will appear in our next

The QUIrMAN DMNER.-This affair came off
at the St. Louis Exchange, in New Orleans, on
the 18th inst The number of guests did not
reach one hundred. The N. o. Crescent con-
tains an account of it, as also most excellent
running commentary on the speech of the Co.
vernor--a speech which, as the Crescent re-
marks, was fortunately only half an hour long,
and being in Qnitman's own peculiar style,
proved full dose. Had he continued for his
usual length of time, he would doubtless have
emptied the seats as completely as we have
seen him accomplish that feat at Claiborne
county Barbecue, in days by-gone. We regret
that we have not room for the Crescent's arti-
Gle in our present number.

SOUTH CARoLINA.--A new weekly Union
paper, called the Southern Patriot" has just
made its appearance at Greenyille, South Caro-.
lima, under the most favorable auspices. Ii
started with subscription list of upwards of
two thousand, very extraordinary number
for paper in an interior town, and eyincing a
most praiseworthy zeal on the part Of its pat
rons. The Patriot says that reaction in regard
to State secession has already commenced
there, and aludes to the apathy manifested at
the recent convention election as proof of the
fact. tssays that in Charleston city the whole
delegation SIS opposed to secession or separate
State action" Judge Cheyes, though an open
disunionist, "looks with contempt on the idea
OF South Carolina seeding alone.u Judge
Frost regards it as "a species OF political in
sanity" Ex-senator R. w. BarnweIl is autter-
ly opposed to separate secession;9 SO it is said
are Judge Huger and Judge Butler.
In Abbevile, athe whole delegationis oppos-
ed to separate State action" In Laurens,
"Col. lrby, one Of the strongest men, intellee-
tually,in the district is opposed to separate se-
cession." In Chester, the whole delegation:
one in Richland, and parts of Newbury, Spar
tanburg and Union, are also Of the same mind.
we are truly rejoieed 10 hear Of these evi.
dences of returning reason on the part of the
rather impulsige citizens of the Palmetto State,
and most sincerely do We hope that the Patriot
and its colleagues in the good cause Of peace
and Union. may effectually succeed in alayihe
their sectional prejudices.

OuK FIRST PAGE.-We think we can recon.
mend to our readers a pernsal of every article
on the irst page of to-day's paper. The first
In order is portion Of a long article in Har-
per's Magazine, upon the subject of balloons,
and gives, highly interesting account of some
daring experiments made by Mr. Wise, the eel
ebraed eronaut who has not yet abandoned
his fayorite idea, but petitioned Congress at
Its last session. for an appropriation of $4,000
10 carry out his scheme, but without success.
The second is an able review of Mr.. Layard's
account of his most astonishing discoveries in
In ancient Nineyeh, and must prove highly in
teresting to all who take any interest in scrip
tural antiquities. We have read, in the West
minister Review, some long extracts from this
remarkable work, and the relation seems more
like a tale of the Arabian Nights than reality.
And yet it is undeniably true.
The third article is one to which we would
call particular attention. 1t is the letter Of the
venerable William Capers, Bishop of the Me-
thodst Episcopal Church South, to his fellow
citizens ofSouth Carolina warning them ofthe
folly and danger of secession. Ii needs no CON-
ment from US, as it speaks for ITSELF Follow
ing this is,a statement of the census of the U.
States, showing the Congressional representa-
tions under the new apportionment.
The last article on that page is also Of inte-
rest, from the evidences which it exhibits of
the apathy which has, in South Carolina, sue
eeeded their recent intense excitement, and Civ
ing hope of the commencement of a more en-.
larged and patriotic state of feeling.
