NORTHERN NEGROES.

Nineteen out of ftWenty of the blacks
in the North command no more respect
than the same number of sheep, and
being left to pursue their own inclina-
tions, they spend their days in idleneSS
and their nights in vice, depending on
charity or theft for the neceSSarieS of
life. We have travelled hundreds Of
miles through the South, and can testify
to the fact that the slaves live bet
ter and more comfortably and happy, in
every respect, than our worthless
negroes With here and there an hon
orable exception, the negroes of the
North never aspire to become mechan-
les, or even respectable laboreFS-they
will always be found doing the lowest
drudgery, and all the money they obtain
is spent for rum, which prepares them
for the poor house, the penitentiary and
the prison. They are destitute of good
breeding and learning and all ambition
to be honest and virtuouS. We know
that the welfare and happiness of the
negro would be consulted, if he were
taken from his state of freedom q and
sent to the South, and we doubt Wheth-
er it would be moral sin to seize eV-
cry mother's-son-on-'e and sell Them
into slavery (appropriating the pro-
ceedS to the payment Of our State debit
than it is to let them remain here,
.halt-fed, half-clothed and uneducated,
leading life OF misery and restitution.
At all events, we are satisfied something
must be done with them, and that be-
fore many years. They must be either
cleared out, or the lives and property
of ylr white citizens will be rendered
unsafe The evil is daily increasing,
and we may as well meet it sooner or
later. The longer we postpone action
in regard to it, the more difficult 1t will
be to accomplish the desired end and
rid ourselves of the growing evil.

FOOD. FOR REELECTION

While the people of the United
States are overtloWing with sympathy
and admiration for the great Magyar
chief, we are greeted with the intelli-
gence that an American is on his way
to spend most valuable portion of
his life in the horrid Spanish chain
gan gs for an illegal crime less in naagni-
tude than that for which the iIluStri-
Gus Hungarian was forced into exile.
Mr.. Thra>her declares his innocence of
the charges preferred against him, and
it is well known that he has had
merely the shadow of a trial-yet
through the hardness of the United
States government he is now going eve
ry moment farther and farther away
from kindred and home, to suffer an
ignominious punishment.
AS regards dispatch, our govern
-ment might proSitably take lessons
from the Spanish authorities.-H was

THE MESSAGE.


President Fillmore in his message re-
news his recommendation to Congress
to modify the present tariff and adopt
specific instead ofad Valorem duties in
all cases when the nature of the com
modify does not forbid it, He says
that the national finances are in pros.
porous condition the truth of which we
will dispute. Then why the necessity
ola change in the tariff. We confess
that the present tariff is not perfect.
Congress could not establish system
of dAies that would meet the peculiar
views Of any one in all it's details. The
tariff Of 10 has worked well and in an
attempt to change it, there might be
incorporated in it defects more glaring
and Injurious than those now complains
ed Of. Ifany attempt is made by Con-
gress to change the present tariff in any
respect, the friends of the protective
principles will seize upon the opportu.
nifty thus presented to make changes
in favor of the manufacturing inter
ests of the North. Hence we are op

How long will the patience of Presi-
dent Fillmore's administration endure
the insults and wrongs of foreign gov

on Spanish soil, before we hear Of the
condemnation of Thrasher, without a
trial. How our flag is insulted and in

THE PRIDE OF WORTH.

by RoBT T. CONRAD.
There is a Joy in worth,
A high, mysterious, Soul-pervading
charm;
Which, never daunted, ever bright &
warm,
Efocks at the idle, shadowy ills OF
eal th;
Amid the gloom is bright and tranquil
in the storm.
1t asks needs no aid;
1t makes the proud and lofty soul its
throne;
There, in its seli-created heaven, alone
No fear to shake; no memory to up
braid,
1t sits lesser God;-life, life is all its
own.
The stole was not wrong:
There is no evil to the yirtuous brave;
Or in the battles rift, or on the
wave,
WorShipped OF Seorned, alone or
mid the throng,
He is himself-a man! not life'S, nor
fortune slave.
Power and wealth and fame
Are but as weeds upon life'S troubled
tide:
Give me but these, spirit tempest
tried,
A brow unshrinking and soul OF
flame,
The JOY of conscious worth, its courage
and its pride.

we see that the Wing presses
throughout the State manifest great
anxiety that the Union organization
should be kept up; every Whig paper
that we glance at, is filled with strong
appeals TO the "Union Democrats" to
hold themselves aloof from the other
section of The Democracy. They are
urged to hold primary meetings to send
delegates to the Convention to be held
on the 5th January. Now the object
OF all this, seems as clear to us as the
mondays sun. If the Wings can sue
ceed in their Efforts to keep up the
diSSenSions which existed in our ranks
in the late election, but which we are
rejoiced TO know are being healed,
nothing would be more easily accom-
pliShed than to carry thiS State for
their nominees in the next Presiden-
tial election. If Convention
should meet at, Jackson on the 5th
Jan'y, in obedience to the call of some
OF the Union Democrats of the State
Convention, however few, delegates
might meet, or however few counties
they might represent, they would ap-
point delegates to the National
Democratic Convention. The Conven-
lion which assemblies on the Sth Jan'y
will also appoint delegates and hence
there will be contest as to which set
of delegates will be entitled to their
seats. We have ns fears but that the
delegates from the 8th Jan'y Conven-
ton. will be admitted. But suppose
they are rejected, Of course they will
return home and the party who
appointed them Will not support the
nominees of the Convention. The re-
suit will be that the Democratic can
didateS for President and President
will have a party not numbering more
than two or three thousand in this
State; and under such circumstances the
wings can carry The State without a
struggle. But if the Union Democrats
will unite withs tie Southern Rights
Democrats go into c0nventioas with
them Eon tie Sth January they can
send delegates TO the Baltimore con-
vent;on= and avoid all disputes and no.
thing is more certain tIan that the
vote Of Mississippi viii be cast fer the
Demo cratic candidates As for our
selves we can see nothing to prevent
the party from moving Gen in halmo-
ny. In the convention we would not
attempt to force cur notioIs Of State
Rights upon the Union Democrats, nor
ould they ask US TO rel udiate them.
If fra termination depeIGed cn cre OF
the other, we confess it would be fol-
ly TO attempt to act in harmo ny.
The States Rights Democrats entertain
views they can never ab2ndon-prin-
ciples they hold dearer thanA life itself
In proposing to act with the Union
Demo Gratis, it is upon great national
questions upon which we have al
ways agreed and upon which we can
act in concert in the approaching Pre-
Sidential canvass without any Sacri--
flee of principle. Shall we do it? or
shall we in accordanc with the sug-
gestion of our whig friends keep up the
division and give the vote Of MissiSNp-
pi to the whig candidates. AS we have
said before the Democracy are "all
right" in Yazoo and we--trust they viii
be SO throughout the State.
