the slave power the free soil acquired from Mexi.
co may be lost to Slavery, but this be if
we organize the friends of Freedom, give an i'm
posing embodiment to their principles, and visit
retribution upon the political traitors to Liberty, in
1859, as did in 184G. The three hundred
thousahd free votes given at the last Presidential
canvass tdrned the scale we think, in favor of
freedom in the Territories; three or five hundred
thousand free votes in 1852 will put them out of
danger. The moral influence Of such demon
stration would be death to the slave power"

Ezs- The Submissonists hcreabouts declare that
all of the Northern States have acquiesced in, and
abide in good faith by the late compromise bills
Mr. Toombs of Ga good witness, says:
" The existing political organizations Of tie
North, both Wing and Democratic, are wholly
unequal to the present crisis. Their ante cedents
are continual stumbling blocks in the path of safe
ty and duty. If either were sound, | should no.
hesitate to advise you to promote its success
But both have degenerated into mere factions, adj
herring together by the common hope of public
plundcr. Their success would benefit nobody
but themselves, and would be infinitely mis-
chievous to the public veal. The Wings and
Democrats of Massachusetts are struggling be
tween Sumner and Winthrop. IL is a contest in
which the friends Of the country have not the
slightest interest. The success of the principles
of either would be equally fatal to the safety and
existence of the Republic The Wings and Dem
ocrats of New \ ork and Ohio are thoroughly dc
nationalized. Indeed, there is no non-slavehold-
ing State in which the Free Soil Wings do not
control the Wing organization, and none in which
the Democratic Free-Soiers do not control H. Cx-
cept in, New Jersey, Pennsylvania Indiana, Lii
nois, and Iowa. Our safety and the safety of
the country therefore, lies in refusing all cooper
alton with either the Whig or Democratic parties

party. If this is impracticablc ought to stand
aloof from both and support none but sound ma

YELLOW FEVER ANECDoTE.-Under this head
the New Orleans Delta relates the following anu
sing story:
Doctor said the dying man, opening his Ian
guild eyes, how long do you think | can live?'
my friend answered the physician, wiping
the tears from his spectacles, i really do not
think that you can live more than twenty-four
hours =
90, doctorp exclaimed the dying man, don't
say that But STILL if l can't live, | suppose
must bend to the will of Providence !!
The sick man covered his face with the bed
clothes, and the physician not being able to endure
the scene, was Just about to depart, when his pa
tent called for him--.Doctor, what do you think
it will cost for my funeral?'
my poor friend, answered the humane physi
clan, with tears in his eyes, it will not cost much
probably not more than $25.'
The dying man started up in his bed and raising
his hands as though he was going to exercise 8
ghost, exclaimed, in the most pitiful tones, 'Of
no Doctor, don't say that I can't afford to pas
1875 to be buried. rs higher than other peopl,
pay and can't afford at'
So saying the young gentleman sunk back, anc
wept like Niobe. Although worth some four o.
five thousand dollars in solid cash. he eoudt afforc
to die, because the funeral would cost him $25.-
The meanness of his disposition striking into hi
system, drove the fever out, and be recovered.

SELF REIIANcE.-The success of individuals in
life is greatly owing to their early learning to de-
pend upon their own resources. Money, or the
expectation of it by inheritance, has ruined more
men than the want of it ever did Teach young
men to rely upon their own efforts, to be fruga
and industrious, and you have furnished them
with productive capital which no man can evel
wrest from them.

Es- Here is the opinion of close watcher of
parties, and is therefore worth something:
But what substantial gain has slavery made :?
Are the People of the North any more tolerant
towards it than formerly the People of the
South any more devoted to it :? Who dreams of
introducing it into the Free States T? Who does
not anticipate its ultimate extinction in the slave
States Where the two sections in juxtapos-
ton, it is not Freedom but Slavery that suffers
from the contact. Slavery makes no inroads into
Pennsylvania from Maryland, but is constantly
losing ground in Maryland under the pressure of
Free Labor influences. This is true of all the
border slave-holding States.
'' New Mexico and Utah, and even California,
is yet debatable ground, but the friends of Free
dom have the advantage in these countries, SO that
if Slavery should obtain the aseendency in them,
it will be their own fault. Ordinary vigilance and
effort will prevent the abrogation of the anti-save-
ry clause in the California Constitution and make
effectua the laws of Mexico in the Territories pro-
hbitng slavery. Certainly if We do nothing, il
we remain Indifferent while the corrupt leaders OF
the old parties in their scramble for the Presidency
basely pledge themselves to the maintenance Of
Southern standard. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 1851-1856, 1851-04-12
