Cabin and Parlor.

We have received from the press of T. B. Peterson
Philadelphia book with the above title, written by
T. Thornton Randolph and intended as IN answer to
"CJncle Toms Cabin" We are decidedly pleased with
Mr. Randolphs book, and think he has written well.
Tie deals in facts and does not call to his aid absurd
improbabites to bolster up tissue Of false theories
which would vanish in moment at the touch OF truth
full investigation His positions are well taken, and
admirably sustained apparently with ease and force
There seems no overstraned punctiousness to prove
some favorite point enforce hobby OF the au-
thor-it is all open and manly plain and Ineligible,
and we may confidently appeal to the honest and
truthful man who may read this book, to say if the
things written therein not truc although proles-
sedly work of fiction yet, We may very reasonably
conclude that the majority of instances noted fall eas-
y within tho range Of human probabilities; for truth
is sometimes even stranger than fiction
The story is an interesting and instructive one, de-
stoned to illustrate the duties of the master to the SER
want whether found in the rice and cotton fields Of
Georgia and Carolina or in the Factories of Lowell or
in the empire cities of the North; where tire common
operative drudge hreahes the free breath of slavery
ten fold worse than the meanest African in our land
The duty of men being good masters, whether in the
North or the South is the idea
The .Cabin and Parlor' contains three hundred
narcs GOOD print with several Illustrations at so cts
finer edition, printed on better and thicker paper,
and handsomely bound in cloth, gilt is published for
one dollar.

The Question is Settled.

The New York Herald-pretty good authori-
ty in such matters-seems to think the matter IS
settled Hear it:
"Ihe question is settled. The issue is deci-
ded. The fat Of public opinion has gone forth.
Franklin Pierce needs only now the for1nality Of
an election to be carried by an overwhelming
majority into the Presidency. Ever since the
nomination of General Scott by Seward and his
allies, the public voice, North and South, has
been swelling and strengthening against the un-
holy alliance, which, at Baltimore, doomed the
Wing party to destruction; and now, from
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Maryland, the
people, in clap of thunder hayescattered the
hopes of Northern Abolition Whiggery to the
wind. Pennsylvania, the sheet anchor of Gree
ley's estimates, rolls up from ten to twelve thou
sand Democratic majority. Ohio, alike inds-
pensable to the SUCCESS of General Scott, caps
the climax Of his clectioneering expedition at the
public expense, in Democratic majority offrom
ten to twenty thousand. Indiana responds to
that rich Irish brogue' by from ten to fifteen
thousand majority for the Democrats; and even
Maryland echoes back upon the North the same
terrible music, in a majority against the Wings
of Baltimore of upwards Of three thousand !!
What blaze! How it has swept from the
Potomac to the Delaware, from the Delaware to
the Ohio, and from the Ohio to the Lakes like
a raging fire under high wind among the dry
grass of the prairics! How awful to behold !!
Even Florida, away down among the everglades,
whether Wing or Democratic, has gone against
Gen. Scott. 1t is the sun of Austerlitz:' Only
look at the majorities, and the unprecedented
success of the terrible and 'unterrifcd Democ
racy.'"

bllitles of life than existed some few years ago
That this condition of things may continue, is our
earnest DESIRE"
1t is not every editor and lawyer who can gath
this sort of comfort from the waning othls trade.
This rejoicing in the full bin of your nelghbor,
when your own crust is short, is not the rule OF
selfish human nature. But the lawyers and sher-
ifs have had their day, and if las it seems, time
has come when comfort and success follow the
plough, these professional gentlemen must only
learn to do likewise. Standard.

A CUNNINs TA1LoR.-Wm. Crissey, a tailor,
lately escaped from the Pennsylvania penitentiary,
by Disgusting himself in a suit of clothes which
were given him to press. He seized an occasion
after several vsiters had entered, and were still
within the premises. Walking deliberately down
to the gate, he told the porter that he had come
in with some friends, bit was tired of looking
around, and believed that he would leave without
waiting for the gentlemen who accompanied him.
The unsuspecting gate-keeper, who did not re-
eognizc him in his disguise, let him out receiving
from him the customary salutation. Thus, the
cunning tailor, pressed the suit into his own SER
vice, and though he left his goose behind him,
he made another, OF the gate-keeper, which was
better suited to his purpose.

The Prosperity OF OUR UPPER DIsrRICTs.-
1t is highly cheering to see and hear of the in
creasing prosperity Of the upper districts of our
State. Wherever we have been in the State we
notice manifest improvement new dwellings are
built, or the old ones are brushed up: the lands
are better cultivated than formerly, and the pco-
pie are beginning to look about them for better
roads and more facilities to comfort. But the
surcst sign Of this prosperity is the notable fact
that the lawyers and sheritfs have little to do
Few levies sherif's sales distract the citizens.
Here and there lawyer is called on to defend a
rogue or an assault and battery, or to bring tres
pass to try title; but sueing for debt is growing
entirely out ofE.shion. Our exchange files bear
ample testimony to this, some of them no doubt
unwngly, for they like 70 see the sheritf's ad
vertisements. Others uniting the character of
lawyer and editor cheerfully pocket their indi-
vidual losses, and rejoice in the general prosper,
ity. Melton of the Chester Standard, thus phi,
losophises on the occasion:
"Sueing has ceased to be the rule and has be-
come the exception. Few cases are now enter
ed, except those where the hopelessness, Of any
other mode Of collection is manifest. The only
attention ected now days by Sheriff7s sale
is attributable in great measure to the rareness
of its occurrence. This change we believe attri-
butable to the gradually improving condition Of
our people. Our District is more prosperous
the people are more Industrious, more economi-
cal; and there is everywhere apparent higher
