We cannot close this private talk with our
subscribers, without expressing our particular
regard for them. Just before our neighbors OF
the Southern Press closed their career, they at
tempted to pique their subscribers into the
payment of their subscriptions by telling them
how much more faith they had in them than
we had in our subscribers we would not trust
our subscribers anything, but they had trusted
theirs everything! The fact was just the re-
verse we have so much faith in our friends,
that we never doubt their willingness to COM
ply with our rules: they had so little faith IN
theirs, that they were afraid to require any
thing from them.
Another thing we like our subscribers for
they are peculiarly tolerant, and let us edit our
paper in our own way. When it does not
please them, they bear with it as they do with
rainy days-they know that there is more clear
than cloudy weather.
Trusting now that we have particularly
good understanding with each other, we shall
regret to part company with any subscriber
with whom we have been in the habit of COM
muning. The great work in which we are all
engaged is but begun who will grow weary
in well-doing!

This story illustrates among other things,
the genius of American Institutions in develop

of society, shown in the history of planter $
son, who, giving up his patrimony for con-
science sake. sets outupon life of toll and self
denial and through many early trials, adven-
lures, and suferings, carves his way to merit

MARX STTTUERI AND,
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1852-11-25

The Cleveland Pldindeaier, in an editorial,
November 18th, says that i" DR., Bailey, in the
early part of the canvass undertook to slide
the Free Soil Party over to the support of Gen
Scott"-that Charles Allen, of Massachusetts,
in company with Cid gave him to under
stand that he must forbcar to speak in the
name of Free-Soilers, or support them sincere
ly; that he must leave Scott in the hands of
the Wings" and that after that, DR. Bailey
spoke more guardedly," sc.
The whole of this is false, utterly and rdcu-
lousy false "Dr. Bailey's" course, from the
beginning to the end of the canvass was the
same, was his own course, was uninfiuenced
by anybody. There lives not the man who
has the right to say "mua" to him. That
word is for party tools and party hacks, who,
declaiming of Principle one day, are found the
next trampling it under foot at the mandate of
IA master.
The Plaindealsr, with a most edifying mod
esty, advises Free-Soilers to dstrust "John p.
Hale" and "Dr. Bailey" Its fidelity to the
cause of Freedom is of course beyond all sus-
picon The Free Sellers of the Western Re-
serve should vote it testimonial for laboring
to guard their purity, and transfer their sup
port from the True Democrat and its associates,
to the immaculate PLaindealer.

Nevertheless we trust that Democrats who
mean to sustain the Administration of General
Fleece in good faith, will remember that the
distinctive and all-absorbing moral element in
the recent national election is, the determine
tion resolute, nhexble, of the great maiorties
of Twenty-Five States in this Union to put down
political Abolitionsm and political Slavery agi-
tation. This was the great issue and this is
the grand result Twenty nine States, and
some two millions of voters endorse this doe
trne, which is the Distinguishing principle of
General Pierce, and the emphatic doctrine of
the Baltimore platform, viz; That the Demo-
cratic party will resist all attempts at renew
ing, in Congress or out of it, the agitation of
the Slavery question, under whatever shape or
color the attempt may be made
There is the plain doctrine and duty of the
Democracy. II is sanctioned as the creed of
every State in this Union, save only Vermont
and Massachusetts. The latter stands with
some 10000 Scott Wings Of the ATLAS stamp
and $4,000 Hale Aboltionists for agitation, dis
union, and resistance to the Fugitive Law. Let
them carry 1t out if they will, and place Mas
sachusetts, if they can where she stood in the
days of the Hartford Convention, out of the
pale of the Union; but let the Democrats Of
Massachusetts, regardless of the mere side
questions of local and personal interest place
and keep themselves on the side Of the Democ-
racy of the twenty-nine States of the Union,
who have denounced political Abolitionism,
like Native Amercansm, humbug to be put
down forever
That this view of the election prevailed and
still prevails among Hunker Wings is proved
by the fact that some of them openly, some
coyertly, did all in their power to secure the
triumph of The Democratic Party. Their al
fections for Hunkerism were stronger than old
party obligations We all remember the open
protests of Gentry Toombs, Stephens Chng

LOVE YOUR ENEMIES,

Angry looks can do no good,
And blows are dealt in blindness;
Words are better understood,
If spoken but in kindness.
Simple love far more hath wrought
Although by childhood puttcred,
Than all the battles ever fought,
Or oaths that men have uttered.
Friendship Of. would longer last,
And quarrcls be prevented,
If little words were let go past
Forgiven, not resented.
Foolish things are frowns and sneers,
For angry thoughts reveal them;
Rotherdrown them alI'in tears,
Than let another feel them.

a"yERDANr, IN A COTTON MILL.

A raw, straw.hatted, sandy whiskercd
six.footer, one of the purely uninitiated
came in recently from Greene county with
a load of wood for Il factory company. Not
satisfied with contemplating the "poetry Of
notion" at safe distance, our hero must
needs introduce himself between the cards
to get nearer view. This move brought
his "nether habiliment" into dangerous
proximity to the gearing Of the next card
and thereby hangs tale.
You, l say9 She goes pooty, don't
she, bos!" said Jonathan, inquirngly.
She don't do anything else, y responded
the stripper. "But you must be very care.
full how you move around this hardware.
Twas only last week sir, that promising
young man from Oxford student Mt Col
lege there, was drawn into that very card,
sir, and before any assistance could reach
him he was run through, and manufactured
into No. Is, super extra, cotton warp yarn p
"l s-s-wow! believe yuer jokiug?'
suffered Jonathan.
Fact sir" continued the stripper; and
his disconsolate mother came down two
days ago, and got five punches of that same
yarn as melancholy relics
"By the poker, that can't be true !"
"Fact, sir, fact! aud each Of his fellow
students purchased a skein a piece, to be
set in lockets, and worn in remembrance Of
departed worth" !"
els that q fact now! Was he really
carded spun, and set in locketsr'
A sense of personal danger shot across
our hero's mind; be began to retreat pre-.
cipitately without waiting for an answer.
But there was not much room to spare be.
tween himself and the gearing Of the card
behind. Another step backwards complrt-
ed the ceremony of introduction. His un-
whisperabies being Of large calibre,' the
process Of snarling them up into hard
knot was no ways slow. Our hero gave
tongue" instanter.
ooh! VI u.r.d-e.r! Let 60 you HURT!
Blast your pictcr! Let go! Amt you
ashamed! Get out Let alone on me
can't ye-dow
The card stripper threw off the belt, but
the momentum of the cylinder kept it re.
volving, and our hero, supposing it in full
operation, burst out anew.
ooh, stop her! stop her, do; amt well,
and orter be at home. Father wants the
steers and mothers going to bake Stop
the tarnal mashcen, can't yc!-do! Aint
We got no feelin' for feller in distress!
Oh, dear! I'll be carded and spun and made
into lockcts! Je-rn-sa-fem How |
wish was to Greene"
The card was stopped at last, hut Jona-
than's clothes were so tangled in the gear
ing, that it was no slight task TO extricatc
him, and it was only by cutting out the
whole Of the Invested territory" that he
was finally released.
