The Roorbaekers Caught.

The attempt OF Wade and Filden to prac-
tice upon the credutliy Of the people by re.
lating pretended private conversations with
Gen. Scott upon The sabjec. Of slavery, is
resulting most disastrously to the reputation
af those worthless, and is opening the eyes
Of the people to their true character. For
time they bid fair to do laud-of6ce busi-
ness at their game Of deception, but their
contemplate tricks have been detected and
exposed. 1t will be remembered that Tilden,
in his political mission about the Reserve
quoted letter from Wade, detailing
pretended conversation between himself and
Gen. Scott upon the subject Of slavery, in
which Gen. Scott is reported to have said,
he *would sooner cut off bis right hand than
lend it to the support Of slavery" The
substance of this letter became newspaper
item and found its way into the political
circles at Washington. where it kicked up
quite bobbery in the wbig camp, and
Wade was waited upon by committee to
know if he had ever written such letter,
which he denied, and his denial was pub.
Iished. Wade, fearing that Tilden might
commit some indiscretion by which be would
be detected in lie, directed Tilden to destroy
the letter, which be did in the presence Of
witnesses, thus, for the time being, submit
ting to the imputation of falsehood. But
Wade's denial to the committee was not
sufficient, and he was required to write a
letter denying ever having imputed any
such sentiment to Gen. Scott. And here is
the said letter as publisher in the Washing
ton Republic, the national whig organ:
WAsHlNc1oN, August Is. 1852.
Sir: / had the honor to receive your note
Of the 18th instant, stating that at the head
Of Democratic paper, published at Eliza
beth City, North Carolina, called the Demo-
cratic Pioneer, is the following: Il WOULD
SOONER CUT OFF MY RIGHT HAND THAN
LEND IT TO THE SUPPORT OF SLAVERY.
Gen Scott to Senator Wade.
All l can say Of me above is (what
have Frequently said since it has been float
ing about in the papers,) that Gen. Scott
never made such declaration to me, or in
my hearing, nor did ever say, or pretend
that he ever did, and believe it to have
been fabricated with view to prejudice the
Southern people against the old General.
And permit me to add that the morbid sem
sitiveness of the Southern mind on this sub.
ject, renders it peculiarly liable TO such i'm
positions; and Northern demagogues know
ing this, will not fail to take advantage of it.
Very respectfully, yours,
b. F. WADE.
WM. H. GR4NBERRy, Esq.
Here is the lie direct given to Tilden,
though there are very few who doubt that
Wade wrote him such letter, with view
to carry out villainous game which they
had conoocted. If such were not the case
Tilden would not rest so patiently under
the imputation Of .falsehood. This is the
B. F, Wade who was going to. make the
cohorts Of slavery tremble in their boots
when he should get to Congress, now hum
bled at the foot Of the slave power, the
meanest lick.spittle of them all.

MORALITY AS A REcoMMENDATIoN.-The
young man whoshows himself imbued with prin
ciples, actuated by high motives, will always be
preferred as workman. He is alwas found to
be the best workman, in mechanical point of
view, if endowed with equal natural powers
The reason is obvious; sense Of justice is neces-
sary, at every point Of the workmans progress, to
keep him from superficial workmanship and con-
cealment of defects. Beside, the moral youth,
from his necessarily regular habits, is more likely
to be promptin his hours, regular in the prose.
cution of his daily business, and little disposed
to change his employment orshis employer
Thenis more careful of his tools and materials,
and regardful of his interest. Added to this, his
influence in the shop, store or counting room,
upon his fellows is consideration of much weight
with every rejecting and sensible workman or
tradesman.
Improvident and wreckless young men do not
understand this. They cannot see why their in
terests are not advanced-why the steady and
moral youth is stepping over them into the fat
places of perferment, while their pay and pros
poets are either stationary Or retrograding. Is
not the mystery solveds
The fact is-if the young man has capital
of skill and sound integrity, and accompanying
virtues, his fortune is made. Such youth of to.
day are sure to be the influential business men
Of tomorrow. No matter how low their station
or how small their pay-they are rising, ever
rising, and the gaining Ct the topmost round Of
attainment is only "a question of time. 1t scarce

ly needs a prophets foreknowledge to tell the
future of the youth oftwenty. Were it not that
rakes sometimes reform, and temptations blast
fair beginnings, this future could be calculated
with almost unerrng certainty.
These considerations all refer to worldly pros
poets and advantages. There is higher induce.

that action is to be endless reason would suggest
that there be in our ephemeral state reference

last lamper eel that have seen, was being pur-

aWRITE SOON"

BY ELIZA cuoK.
Long parting from the hearts we love
Will shadow DER the brightest tace;
And happy they who part and prove
Affection changes not with place.
A sad farewell is warmly dear,
But something dearer may be found
To dwell on lips that are sincere,
And lurk in bosoms closely bound.
The pressing hand, the steadfast sigh,
. Are both less earnest than the boon
VIII ch fervently, the last fond sigh
Begs in the hopeful words "Write soon!"
"Write soonI" oh, request of Truth"
How tenderly its accents come!
We heard it first in early youth
When mothers watched US leaving home.
And still amid the trumpet joys
That weary US with pomp and show,
We turn from all the brassy noise
To hear this minor cadence flow.
We part but carry on our way
Some loved ones pantive spirt-time,
That as we wander, seems to say,
"Affection lives on faith. ."rite soon"

QUAKERs.-During the whole American rev
olution, the Indians though melted by the
whites to- kill and scalp the enemy, never mo-
lested the Friends, as the people of the Father
Onas, or William Penn, and as the ayowed op-
ponents of violence. q. ~ .e...4 : I.
Through the whole war, there were but two
Instances to the contrary, and they were occa-
stoned by the two Friends themselves The one
was young man, tanner, who went ito his
lanyard and back daily unmolested while de-
yastation spread on all sides: but at length
thoughtlessly carrying gun to shoot some birds
the Indians in ambush, believed that he had be.
lieved that he had deserted his principles, and
shot him. -
The other was a woman, who when the dwell
lings Of her neighbors were nightly fred and the
people themselves murdered, was importuned By
the officers of a neighboring fort to take refuge
there till the danger was over. For some time.
she refused, and remained unharmed amid gene
raj destruction but at length, letting in fear she
went for one night to the fort but was so,uneasy
that the next morning she quilted it to return to
her home.
The Indians, however believed that. she too
had Abandoned her principles, and joined the
the fighting part of ofcommunity, and before she
reached home she was shot by them.
