FEARFUL PROGRESS. ss.-The Fieder-
ichsburgh (Va.) Herald seems alarm.
ed at The signs Of progress in the slave
population 1t says that the slaves in
the kitchen "teach their children to
call their owner mister instead of mas
ter, and that instead of addressing them
in the terms heretofore known as father
and mother among the blacks, require
their children to call them pa and mat"
We clip the above from the National
Era. The Herald man is awfully be-
hind the times himself if he has not dis
covered before this, that father and mo-
ther are antiquated vulgarisms which
belong TO another age, when boys didn't
get 10 be men till they were eighteen,
and yonng ladies' of a dozen summers,
were not dreadtully alarmed lest they
should die old maids. Atpresent such
obsolete terms are not admissible in
polite circles! But only hear low a
benigted "indiwidual" away down in
the Palmetto State, takes on about this
little circumstance. The Spartan, Of
Spartansburgh s. c., in allusion to this
"sign of the times" thus blows off.
ga Union Of those who love and live
by slavery, with those who hate and
spurn it-yes, Union of those who
would fight for it, with those who would,
and are now, fighting against ii! TO
us it seems, that the Union, so far from
being desirable, has now become unsafe,
Improbable, and dishonorable; and in
the end, will prove fatal to the institu-
ton of slavery. We value slavery more
than we do the Union; and in choosing
a foe for our steel in the settlement Of
this question, we would prefer Nor
them man to negro. Viewing slave
ry, then, as we do,-the very essence
Of our moral, physical, and civil life
and looking upon tho Union as the
hateful instrument Of its final overthrow,
if not dissolved, we believe it would be
the best interests of the Sonth TO dis
solve their existing connexion with the
North"
How logical! How apparent the con.
nexion between the premiss and con-
clusion! Negro mothers teach Their
babies to "call their owners mister in
stead of MASTER" Therefore: the I'm.
ion is a a"hateful instrumentw They
teach them to say spa and ma" instead
of father and mother! Eyo;; "itwoult
be the best interests of the South" &c
i Wont Wings, Democrats, Free .Soiler
!, and Natives, rush together in this new
, emergency! Will not Congress pas
a law making it the "duty of all good cit
; izens' to chastise allnegro babies VIII
/ may be heard saying @pa" or "ma;'
and will not the political conventions
:, of all parties, unite in declaring tha
they "discountenance" the use of thes
: obnoxious terms, "whenever, wherever
and by" whatsoever negro baby the

Upon yon aow'y hill

The porch with vines o'ergrown, ,-5
Were lovely as they were before, A
When that home was my own. isa,s
oh rumseller..
That home, that home Of thine,
That pleasant home, that happy home;
That cottage home was mine.
The gravelled walk, so white and strait,
With flower banks on each side,
That led down TO the wicket gate,
Where Willie used 10 ride,
The locusts Ger the path that grew, =
The willow boughs that swayed,
All told me with tongue e'er true,
That there my Mary played.
OH rumseller,
&C. &c. &C.
The silver lake so calm and clear,
Along whose banks Pve strayed
So often with my Lucy dear,
To watch the sunlight fade
The brook that purling sweetly ran
The garden foot along,
And murm'ring fount as brightas then,
Still sung the same loved song. 'H'''
Oh rumseller,

The window towards the garden gate,
That looked out on the west,
Where that loved being used to wait,
Who made my home so blest,
Was closed-the sombre curtains hung,
And no loved face was therej
Nor voice, the evening song that sung,
Or breathed the morning prayer.
Oh rumseller,
&c. &c. &c.
Silence hung round that happy home,
Where once SO light and free,
My laughing children used to come
And dance upon my knee;
Where she. who was that homes dear light
In constant beauty shone,
Around that cheerful hearih-sone bright,
All now is still AMI lone.

Yes, that loy'd wife has gone to rest,
In death her heart is bound
Her babes are. e.sleeping on her breast,
Beneath yon grassy mound
And am wand'ring lone and strang'd,
Nor master Of my will.

To hut behind the still.

That pleasant home, that happy home,
That cottage home was mine.

SOMETHING NRose,--It appears from
a return made 10 the Legislature of the
State of Massachusetts that in tina, State
there are 1877 Banks with an aggregate
capital Of forly-two millions Of dollars,
and circulation Oslo, 100000. The
specie in these Banks only amounts 10
So, 100000, that is about IA per cent OF
ihe circulation. This is certainly dan
gerous system Of managing the banking
institutions ofsuch a State as Massachu-
sets. An examination has been held BY
the Bank Commissioners, who give il as
their opinion that. The general paper cir.
culaiion has been extended too far, for
the specie basis on which it rests, apd
that both in specie and immediate resour-
ces Of substitute for specie in the aggre-
gate The banks do not appear so strong
as they were a, the examination last

The question is whether the adoption
Of the new Consultation repealessaid act
or not. II is held by some not contrary
10 the Constitution, because the pro-
visions Of that instrument, regulating
Finance and Taxation, does moi neces-
sarily conflict with the local law 10 ques-
ton, being not Unnecessarily ilyrepealing t x
alton acts in force, but restraining future
Legislation TO certain principles in the
imposition of taxa,ion---as Article XII
Section 2, of the Constitution, says law:
shall be passed taxing, bya uniform rule
all moneys, credits, &C., and also al! rea
and personal property, according to III
true value in money. This is held 10 be
impari've on The law-making power, bu
not affecting law already in exialance
which may include in the exemptions il
permits no, greater amount ofexemplion:
than is provided for in the Constitution
and it is concluded that The local law,

chronological Lecture.

We have mol room 10 notice al length
the Lectures Of Mr.. Ax;ell, delivered in
this village, and which we're concluded
last Monday. He commenced with the
claims Of Phrenology as Science, its
mental analysis OF the faculties Of The
mind, and elncidaied his positions ably
and 10 the general satisfaction. His
lecture on Phrenology as applied to
Mairimony was marked by large thought,
observation and eloquence, The gist Of
his position was, that love instead ofbeing
the blind following Of passion and pro-
pensily, may be made through this
science, the aid 10 intelligent and fitting
choice. That likeness Of tempe rament,
mental, moral, and social qualities and
propensilies in the two sexes, were the
only means Of complete happiness, q far
as this can be reached by humanity, But
Tor tho well being of the offspring, he
counselled those who have large propen.
stiles to choose those with lass, to the
end that what is evil ID themselves
should not be perpetrated in an increased
degree in their offspring. On Religion
bis views, many OF them, met our appro.
baion, IN so far as lie urged .hat Rel
gion, if genuine, mus, be found in prac-
,ical action, more than in speech, in the
exercise of benevoIence or love to oar
fellow man, and reverence and duty to
God, and in the practice Of all those
moral dniies without which mere profess
sion is l;,tle better than hypocrisy. On
the whole our ciiizens gave a ready and
gratifed attendance 10 Mr.. Axtell.s
course, and his stay among us has been
lprednclive Of good, and an increased
knowledge Of, and respect for. tile prin-
ciples he advocated. X Ns.a
