(Late Of the firm of Bradford d Dodson.)
HAVING bought out F. M. Edens' entire
i l. stock of Goods at cost and without car
rage, respectfully informs his friends and the

the corner Brick Store formerly occupied by
Cleage & Co, but more recently by F. NJ. Edens,

store, and can sell at almost any price above
cost, and make money.
The Goods are all new, the most of them
having been bought this Spring, and none hay
ing been in store longer than six months.
While I most respectfully invite my old
customers TO give me a call at my new stand, l
don't want them to forget that little balance
coming to the late firm of Bradford d Dodson,
which must be settled up.

THE SLAVERY RESOLVES IN THE MAssA-
cuUsErTs LEGIsLATURE.-On Friday, the
23d ult, the Massachusetts House of Repre-
sentatives took up the resolutions known as
the "slavery resolves" and, after a short de,
bate and the adoption of an amendment, voted
to indefinitely postpone the consideration OF
the subject. These resolutions protested
against the execution of the fugitive slave
law in Massachusetts,, and denounced the law
itself as unconstitutional, unjust and OPP
pressive." The motion to indefinitely post
pone was carried by vote of l7S to l62;
Our readers will not be Mt all surprised 70
learn that, by far the greater part OF the l7s
votes in favor of the indefinite postponement
of the resolution were cast by Wings. Inc
allied forces of Abolitonists and Locofocos
were generally for the resolutions.-Lou'

HoRsE JocKEYs.-There is no class of
persons in the community whose eye-teeth
are more deliberately cut than those whose
name forms the caption of this article. A
writer who appears to be profoundly versed
in their modus operandi, thus portrays some
of their detachable qualities:
Another popularity belonging to this
species of genus homo is, that he Is particu-
larly Obvious as to time; ny, as much SO, as
are some single ladies, called old maids. Ills
scyenteen wear olders are always atlectlonate-
lv termed colts, and he is Us indulgent to
them as a kind father. Kicking and biting,
when exhibited by one Of his horses to
dangerous extreme, is only his playtulness.
apIayful as a kitten, sir, that's all" A runa-
wav. il a horse of spirit; of an inveterate
astoker," he says he is rs steady as church
One Of these gentry had occasion to sell a
horse that had killed his former owner, and
he gravely advertised him thus; he was ITO DC
sold in consequence of his owner going ABROAD
with no intention of returningF -
You can tell a professional man, generally
by the "cut of his jib," but there is no eXter-
nal indication of the horse Jockey. one OF
the most inveterate we ever knew, was to all
appearance a raw country boy; and nc sold
hundred horses, averring of each, "that he
was the only horse he ever raised or sold
he wasn't no horse jockey, he didn't trade IN
horses" and the like. One veteran dealer OF
our acquaintance has the air of clergyman,
always dressed in black, is continually mourn
inc over human depravity, and is very serl-
onslv inclined, if not "hopefully pious." This,
however, would not prevent his cheating his
own father in horse trade, if the old gentle
man would give him chance.

THE NEGRO RAcE.-Bayard Taylor, writing

THE NEGRO RAcE.-Bayard Taylor, writing
from Nuba, in Upper Egypt says;
Those friends of the African race who
point to Egypt as proof of what that race
has accom- Iished, are whole mistaken. The
only negro features represented in Egyptian
sculpture are those of slaves and captives
taken in the Ethiopian wars of the Pharaohs.
The temples and pyramids throughout Nubia,
as far as the Dar-Fur and Abyssinia, all bear
the hieroglyphs of these monarchs, and there
is no evidence in all the valley of the Nile that
the Negro race ever attained higher degree
of civilization than is at present exhibited IN
Congo and Ashantee. mention this not
from any feeling hostile to that race, but
simply to controvert an opinion very preva-
lent in some parts of the United States.

A FILLMORE Demonstration INNEw YORK.
"A preliminary wing meeting, held at the
Chinese Assembly Rooms, in New York, on
the 26th ult., to arrange for public meeting
shortly to be called in that city, for the pur-
pose of nominating Willard Fillmore to the
next Presidency. The Express says, thepre-
liminary movement was characterized with a
good will and an enthusiasm, that bespeaks
favorably for the wing cause. The signs so
far are propitious, and as things look at pre-
sent the party rallying under the banner OF
"The Union, The Compromise, and the Con-
stitution," is determined to suffer anything
but discontinue and defeat.
The Express of the goth adds; "Ihat the
work goes bravely on" The preliminary
meetings, to make arrangements for the po-
puIar demonstrations in favor of Mlllard
Fillmore for President, continue well attend
ed, and the sentiment which generally pre-
walls is such as to ensure that unity OF ac-
ton which is all that is necessary to make the
forthcoming manifestation one worthy OF the
Empire City, and worthy the Union, the Com
promises, and the Constitution. Many OF
the Oldest soldiers in the Wing ranks are in
attendance, shoulder to shoulder with the
Young Guard, while on all hands the utmost
enthusiasm is manifest. The day for the
meeting is not yet resolved on, but we under
stand it will be early next week. Among the
speakers expected this evening, are Hon. Will
lis Hall and James w. Gerard, Esq

A Coon SIGN.-"Veritas" writes to the N.
Y. Courier under date of 2sth April:
Mr.. Parker, of Ind, impressed the House
with very able and effective speech this
morning, representing the true position of the
Northern Wings. He avowed himself an
unqualified friend of the Compromise in all
its parts and in favor of executing the Fugi-
tive Slave Law, as an integral element of the
settlem ent, in full faith and integrity. He
explained its imperfections, but held, that as
a law of the land, it should be respected and
fulfilled, and ought to be acquiesced in by
law-abiding men of all parties. Few speeches
this session have produced greater effect or
more favorable comments.

COUNTERFEIT BnLs.-The Tallahassee
Floridian states that counterfeit $40 bills are
in circulation in. Florida. The counterfeit
has for vignette female standing, with an
eagle at her side - in the genuine bill, the
female is sitting, with pen in her right and
a wreath in her left hand The counterfeit
has Washington on the left. Washington is
not on the genuine. The engraving is rather
coarse, and the counterfeit is easily detected.

ARIsTocRACY.-It is always a perilous
thing for naughty people to look back along
the line of their ancestry. Twenty years a.
go, says the Merchants Magazine, this one
butchered, that one made candles, another
sold cheese and butter, a fourth carried on a
distillery, another was a contractor on canals;
Others were merchants and mechanics. They
are acquainted with both ends of society, as
their children will be after them, though it
will not do to say so out loud. For often
you will find that those toiling worms hatch
butterflies, and they live about year. Death
brings division ofproperty; and it brings new
financers. The young gentleman takes
his revenues and begins to STRAIGHTFORWARD
poverty, which he reaches before death-or
his children do, if he do not. So that, in fact
though there is q moneyed rank, it is not
hereditary, it is accessible to all; three good
seasons of cotton will send generation of
men up; a score of years will bring them all
down, and send their children again to labor.
The father grubs and grows rich; his children
strut and use the money; their children inherit
pride and go to shftless poverty; their chill
dren, re-invigorated by fresh plebian blood,
and by the smell of the clod, come up again.
Thus society, like tree, draws its sap from
the earth, changes It into leaves and blossoms
and spreads them abroad in great glory, sheds
them off to fall back to the earth again to
mingle with the soil, and at length to reap
pear in new trees and fresh garniture.

A FUNNY THING.--As the express train
from Montreal was running with great speed;
to make up lost time, between St Johns and
Rouse's Point, says the Burlington Free
Press, the engine-man discovered woman
standing in the centre of the track franti-
cally swinging basket, evidently with the
intention of stopping the train. The whistle
was Immediately sounded for "docn brakes
hard" and with great exertion the train was
brought to rest few feet from the woman,
who never stirred from the track or evinced
the slightest fear. ,
The cngine-man, fireman, brakeman and
Superintendent, (who happened to be on the
train,) ran up to the woman to find out what
horrible accident had happened ahead, to call
forth such strong demonstration on her
part. Each asked eagerly the cause for her
signals. "Lawful sakes," replied she, al eu-
er seed one of them machines before, in my
life, and do declare it's the funniest thing l

FILLMORE IN VIRGMIA.-The Richmond
Republican says:
We believe that Mr.. Fillmore would get
more Democratic votes in Virginia than any
Wing candidate who has ever been put in
nomation for any office within the gift of our
people. Gen. Cass would run even behind
his own strength in lS48. If they are the
candidates, Virginia will go Wing sure.
The Charleston (Va.,) Free Press says;
Between Cass and Fillmore, the contest in
Virginia is by no means a desperate one for
the Wings Notwithstanding our defeat in
the Governors election. Not only does cue
ry Wing in the State approve Mr.. Fillmore's
course, but there are thousands Of Democrats
whose candor and sense Of justice compel
them to admit his merit. They have no fault
to find, and would be by no means out of hui
NOR at his reelection.
There has never been a period since the
Monroe era when honorable men were so
ready to admit the deserving of political
opponent as at present.

DEFEND on YoURsELF.-Most young men
consider it a great misfortune to be born poor,
or not to have capital enough to establish
themselves at their outset in life, in n good
and profitable business. This is a mistaken
notion. So far from poverty being misfor-
tune to them, if we may judge from what we
every day behold, it is really blessing; the
chance is more than ten to one against him
who is left with fortune.
