KEEP MONEY MovING-We are told that political
economy, the science of wealth, embraces three
processes Productions distribution, and consumption.
OF these production is fundamental and primary for

distribution is the intricate and interest

WIFE WORTH HAvING.-Not many months since
a gentleman who resides not thousand miles from
Chelsea, and is the book keeper of large manufactur
ing establishment, had the misfortune to nure severe
his right hand In addition to the pain of his wound
he had the discowaging prospect of being for long
time incapacitated from attending to his ordinary bust
ness, consequently deprived of his of support
But his wife with spirit and resolution worthy of
her sex, in addition to the cares of her household
(Which is at all times pattern of neaness undertook
and actually performed all the writing necessary to
keep in perfect order the books of the company with
which her husband connected She cheerfully de-
voted several hours of each day to her imposed task
and the neat and faithful manner in which the work
was performed elected the warmest encomiums from
her husbands employers. Such woman is equal to
any emergency, and is an honor to her sex-Boston

of the canting scurrility of the compromsers,

Many of opinion, says the Baltimore Argus, that
the most certain way to eradicate this disease of Nor
thern fanaticism, and to destroy the beast called
abolitionsm is for congress repeal the law which
makes the slave trade with Africa piracy When the
abohdonsts again enjoy the privilege of stealing
negroes from Africa and selling them in the Southern
States, it is thought that they will then become the
strongest advocates both of slavery and the fugitive
slave law. They such devoted philanthropiss that
they think it highly wrong to permit the poor negroes
to be born, to live, and to die, in their native and
without any knowledge of their creator and his Holy
laws, and therefore, desired to steal them away and
sell them in civilized lands, where they may enjoy the
benefits of civilization and christianity. There is
doubt that the restoration them of this privilege,
will eectually relieve them of their abolition notions,
and induce them enforce the provisions of the fug
tive slave law.

MUSCULAR STREEGTH.-The muscular power of
the human body is indeed wonderful. A Turkish
porter will trot at rapid pace and carry weight
OF SIX hundred pounds. Milo, celebrated ath
letic Croona, in Italy, accustomed himself to car
~ the greatest burthens, and by degrees became
a monster in strength 1t is said that he carried
on his shoulders OK, years old, weighing up
wards of one thousand pounds for above 40 yards,
and afterwards killed it with blow of his fist
He was seven times crowned at the Pythean games,
and six at the Olympian.
He presented himself the seventh time, but no
one had the courage to enter the list against him.
He was of the disciples of Pythagoras and to
his uncommon strength the learned preceptor and
his pupils owed their lives. The pillar which sup
ported the roof of the school suddenly gave way
but Milo supported the whole weight of the build
ing, and gave the philosopher time to escape. In
his old age, Milo attempted to pull up tree by its
strength being gradually exhausted, the tree when
cleft reunited and left his hand pinched in the Boz
dy of it, He was alone; and being unable to dis
engage himself, died in that position.
A BIG GUN.-We clip the following from one OF
Kendalls letters from Paris to the n. o. Picayune:
ttBy the latest news from india it would seem that
the great gun at Beegapore-once famous Ma
bratta city but now deserted-is to be brought to
England as trophy. 1t beats Com. Stockton
big gun all hollow. The length of the piece is a
feet, the circumference 5, and the weight of the
ball it carries 5000 pounds. The piece was never
fired but once and the natives not only say thai
the sound of the report alarmed the inhabitants ol
goo miles around but that the ball is still flying
1t should be hoped that it mag not come way
Three thousand pounds of Iron, bounding and II
cochetting along through tire country, would b.

Hon JOHN j. CRITTENDEN, while defending a
man indicted for capital crime, closed his effort
by the following aegory "When God in his eter-
nal counsel conceived the thought of mans crea-
tion he called to him the three ministers who wait
constantly upon his throne Justice Truth, and
Mercy, and thus addressed them: Shall we make
MANI Then said Justice, %, God, make him not,
for he will trample upon thy laws Truth made
answer Also %, God, make him not, for he will
poute thy sanctuaries.' But Mercy, dropping
upon her knees, and looking up through her tears,
exclaimed, %, God make him; | will watch over
him with my care through all the dark paths which
he may have to tread Then God made man, and
said to him, % man, thou art the child of Mercy
go and deal with thy brother " The jury were
affected to tears +; and against the evidence and
what must have been their own convictions, at once

We find in the speech of Felix Huston, deliver

the following admirably just remark:
And again: " # the South thus tanoely submit

Of tie North, a Sence Of conscious coWardice aciU

This is true, because vile coward is always
cruel and not only has it this reason, but if we
submit to the north, redoubled vigilance and ten
fold severity W be necessary to keep the negroes IN
their place, until the grand act Of abolition
takes ptdce-Er. paper.

Power TAXING IMPoRTs.-There seems to be

hibited by that clause in the Federal Constitution Civ

Richmond Enquirer is limited to the privilege of i'm

The W ashngton Union of the 10th inst, contains
letter from Judge Sharkey, of Mississippi, addressed
to Hon Luke Lea, and made public at the request Of
Messrs w r. Mangum and IL. s. Foote, as it embod-
cs IN their opinions "highy patriotic views ably and
eloquently expressed and the dissemination Of which
they think will be productive of much good.
Judge Sharkey is for acqtticscing in the compromise
arrangement, us our readers already aware-he
says the Union party in Mississippi undoubtedly have
large majority though there are very few who are
entirely satisfied with all the measures of the adjust
nent lie is of the opinion that if matters remains
as they are at present. the Convention to be held in
this State next fall will be by large majority con-
servative body. This prospect however he saws may
be entirely changed by the action Of the present Con
gress.
With regard to the Fugitive Slave Bill he says Con-
gress might as well break up the Union at once
peal 1t, or materially modify it; explosion, he
marks would not more certainly follow the applcati
OF lighted match to the touch hole of loaded can
non than will disruption of this Union follow TIC
repeal of the fugitive Slave bill. He adds thai the
same result will follow if this law cannot be faithfully
carried out. The people of the North, he says, hold
the destinies of the nation in their HANDS; they
can put down the abolitiOnsts cannot and if they
will not, the Union is lost.
These views, in the opinion of the Judge, enter
tanned by large majority of the people of Mssissp
pl and it is for this that have copied them
thinking it matter of very little consequence what
may be the individual opinion of of wa.
vering disposition the Judge has shown himself
to be.
Say what we please about the intelligence, the wish
es wisdom, &c. of the people, nothing is evil
dent to us than that public opinion is always OF
less governed if not entirely created by the press ans
our prominent leading And what is equally evil
dent therefore, is, that if Judge Sharkey, H. S. Foote
Southern delegates in Congress, well Other
prominent politicians in the slaveholdng States com
bned with the undivided force of the party press hac
at the outset, taken true Southern, Constitutional
ground in reference to sectional difficulties, with
avowed determination acquiese in one toto less
than is granted to in the terms of the compact that
brought the Union into existence, all slavery con-
roverses would have long since been happily and fair
ly adjusted By the same reasoning, brought tC
the conclusion that if the press and the politicians
all parties would unite, for the same purpose the
South would have nothing to fear from the North
or from the Federal Government-AHas.

FooTE.-The Augusta Republic, in reviewing the
action of the late called session of our Legislature,
speaks of aithless Senator in the following severe

no ingenuity of ogic-can overcome so plain tallz
as this
CATER sustaining the proposition to hold South
ern Convention at Nashville-after writing and pub
fishing letters to the people of the South "a
gainst the admission of Cafornia-ater getting his
up the high priest of re-eaters, who could
swallow red hot Goals without chewing them-after
sounding the tocsn OF alarm throughout the borders
his State asking for and getting instructions how
act, he gave up eating fire Goals to devour his own
words, his pledges, and his honor Is it surprising
then, that the Legislature at its called session. in
November should have proclaimed to the country and
the world that the course of the Hon. Henry s.
Foote all these questions is not approved, and this
Legislature does consider the interests of the State
of Mississippi, committed to his charge, safe in his
keeping"
The great mass Of the submissonists may be- and
no doubt patriotic They solemnly and
deliberately pledged this way that, and may act
from the best and purest motives but Senator Foote
stands OUT prominently, the falsier of his public de-
carations and pledges and the betrayer Of his State
His declarations find no echo in the hearts of the
people he represent, and doubt not, he is himself
beset with dreary memories of the past The South
the constitutional Union party while receiving hin
into ranks, will hold him in suspicion.
How different the cases of those other gallant gen
tlcmen, whose names are associated with Mr. Foote
in the letter to the Governor Of Mississippi. The
conduct is approved, and they cheered faith
full public servants, who have merited the appreciation
/ of their admiring constituents. -
