The RUSSIAN PAsANr, as he is falser
ly called, says letter from st. Pc
tersburgh, is bought and sold with
the land on which he lives, and is a
being in no way superior to Monsieur
Cuffee, although his skin is white or
rather brownish, with boards that
were never visited by that compan-
ion of civilization, the razor; his per-
son is the impersonation Of filth. and
his countenance the mirror of igno-
rance. The depression and poverty
of these poor creatures is really pitt
able, and next to some parts Of Ire
land, ] must give to this class Of hu-
manity the unenviable position of
the most miserable part Of the great
family to which we all belong.

A British writer,recently remark
ing on the horrors which sometimes
attend Christian rule in Pagan lands,
sketches the following graphic but
fearful picture: 20
"Turn your eyes backward upon
II the scenes of the past year. Go with
me into the northwest province of
the Bengal presidency, and | will
show you the bleached skeletons of
five hundred thousand human beings
who perished of hunger in the space
of few short months. Yes, died of
hunger, in what has been justly called
the granary of the world. The air,
for miles was poisoned with the efllu-
via emitted from the purifying bod
les of dead. The rivers were choked
with the corpses thrown into their
channels. Mothers cast their little
ones beneath the rolling waves, be-
cause they would not see them draw
their last grasp, and feel them stiffen
in their arms. Jackals and vultures,
approach and fasten upon the bodies
Of men before life Is extinct. Mad
ness, disease and despair stalked a
broad, and no human power present
to arrest their progress.
'And this occurred in British India,
in the reign of Victoria the First
Nor was this event extraordinary or
unforeseen. Far from it-lS35 wit
messed a famine in the northern pro-
vinces:-lS22 saw one in the Deccan.
They have continued to increase in
frequency and extent under our sway
for more than half a century. Under
the administration Of Lord Give, a
famine in the Bengal provinces swept
off three millions!-and, at that time
the British speculators had their gran
aries filed to repletion with corn!--
Horrid monopoly Of the necessaries Of
life! Three millions died, while there
was food enough and to spare locked
up in the storehouses of the rich

SOUTHERN NuLLrFicATIoN.-
Donelson. of Tenn, now in Washing
ton, tells an anecdote which shows
the extent ofSouthern secession:
Coming up the Southern route
from Memphis, he fell in with An old
man, whom he fancied, and with
whom he entered into conversation
by asking him whether he had lately
| heard anything about nuliac alton; he
Major Donelson) having seen little
or nothing Of it, OF late. The old
man replied that he was probably
taken for a man who knew little o.
any thing; but for all that, he had
! known Gen. Jackson, and would now
! tell Major Donelson that he had three
sons, and that if any one of these
turned nullifier, he would not kil
him, but exchange him for adog, ant
then kill the dog. 1t is impossible

Col. Cunynghame, in his recent
travels in America; gives the foli0w-
ing picture of the young Americans:
"Young England is frequently ac-
cused of being too precocious, but, in
this respect, what comparison will
she bear with Young America? At
the public table at Eockport, boy,
about l3 years of age, entered freely
into conversation respecting the mer-

were about to stand (or run, as it is
here termed at the next election, for
