~ The people OF The South tanno,
look with indifference upon the fact, that
at the recent gathering Of the political
friends Of PIERCE at Hilisboro, in New
Hampshire, that John VAN BUREN aul
JOHN A. DIX, OF N. X. two OF the most
notorious free sellers in the Unioil, were
among the most prominent and conspicn-
Gus speakers, urging The claims and pre-
telItions Of PIERCE 10 the Presidency nor
can they read without some misgivings,
tile additional fact that JoHN VAN BuREN
was, previous to making this speech, in
concord with Gen. PIERCE, and while III
communication, fully admitted and elected
as an Honorary member Of tile PIERCE and
KINGsciub in the town of concord--tlie
home Of Gen, Pierce.
We have always believed since the nom
ination Of PIERCE, that the alacrity with
which the VAN BuREN's lultra free soilers
who had before held themselves entirely
aloof from the support Of Gen. CAss and
other Democratic nominations, and clung
to their separate free soil organizations
entered into the canvass for PIERCE, was
most striking and significant sign Of The
times, aud tended clearly TO shuw that
they ka,csc their man, and knew that he
entirely conceded in sentiment and opin-
ion with them upon the great question
hatred Of slavery and slave institutions
before which all others are made to yield
as utterly insignificant.
Recent developments have tended to
confirm this belief If JoHN VAN BUREN
was not entirely Satisfied with she posi-
lion and opinions Of Gen. PiERcE upon
The question Of slavery, who can believe
that he wohId 30 suddenly and cheerfnlly
abandon the separate free soil Organization
10 which he was 50 depotediy attached,
now when il is alleged TO be gaining
strength, and perambuIate the conatry.
going even into New Hampshire the home
Of Gen PrEacE. making violent political
harangnes in aid ofthe election Of PlERcE!
No one ~ nor can any man believe that
FRANKLIN PIERcE would have extended
snch cordial welcome 70 VAN BuREN.

Freedom in the Southern States.


The editor of the South Western Advo-
cate, referring to the discussion Of Southern
Rights which preceded and has followed the
adoption of the compromise measures, quotes
a memorable passage of Burke's writings
which we annex, and concerning which the
Advocate justly remarks that its importance
and applicability at the present time are not
less remarkable than its political sagacity and
president wisdom Of its author at the time
of its utterance. The extract is taken from
the great speech Of Burke on Cancellation
with America, delivered in the British Par
lament on the 22d of March, I775, concern
ing which Sir JAS Macintosh said:
'FThe second speech by Mr.. Burke on
American taxation was thought by Mr.. Fox
the best work Of the master The judgment
was certainly right; it has the careful cor
rectness Of his first manner, joined to the
splendor of his second; it was the highest
flight Of his genius under the guidance Of
taste. Except few Burkeisms in the noble
preroatlon, it contains few deviations from
beauty" Such is the testimony of the an
tagonist of Burke, the illustrious author q
the Vindiciae Gallicana. But to the ex-
tract:
"Sir, can perceive by their manner that
some gentlemen object to the latitude Of
this description, because in the southern
colonies the church of England forms large
body, and has regular establishment. 1t
is certainly true. There is, however, a cir-
cumstance attending these colonies, which,
in my opinion, fully counterbalanees this
difference, and makes the spirit of liberty
more high and naughty than in those to the
northward. 1t is, that in Virginia and the
Carolinas they have vast multitude Of
slaves. Where this is the case, in any part
of the world those who are free, are by far
the most proud and jealous of their freedom.
Freedom to them is not only an enjoyment,
but kind of rank and privilege. Not see
ing there that freedom, as in other countries
, where it is a common blessing, and as broad
and general as the air, may be united with
such AFFECT toll, with great misery, with all
the exterior of servitude, liberty looks a.
mongst them like something that is more no
bic and liberal. do not mean, sir, to com
> mend the superior morality of this sent
I ment, which has at least as much pride a.
: virtue in it; but cannot alter the nature
). of man. The fact is so; and these peopl
: of the southern colonies are much NOR
= strongly, and with an higher and more stub
born spirit attached to liberty than thos
: northward. Such were all the ancient com
= monwealths; such we're our Gothic anee
! tors, such in our day were the Poles; ant
= such will be all masters Of slaves who ar
:. not slaves themselves. In such a people tn
- haughtiness of domination combines with til
4 spirit of freedom, fortifes it, and renders
y invincible."

TIMELY PREpARATIoN.-''J John, " said an
angry parent to his son, who had committed
misdeed, "John, you 60 to the next room
and prepare yourself for a severe fogging.
The boy departed, and when his parent had
finished the letter be was writing and sought
the offending youth, he was surprised at the
swollen appearance Of the young rascal

sWhat does this mean p he asked; "Wha
is on your back 2"

double; youtoId me to prepare myself for
hard fogging, and / did the best ] could."

ALadie's Opinion of Moore.
To tie Editors of the
Home Journal l.:

Another light is dimmed, and the earth
bears in her bosom another Of her gifted chill
dren-one as familiar to us as household
words. Sweet summer viii come with all
her wealth of flowers, and fruits, and sunny
skies; but he will sleep. Sad autumn will
sigh among the pale white tombs; but he
will still sleep on. Yes, for US, the magi-
clan has welded for the last time his grace
full wand, and the gifted poet, the wit, the
song-writer par ercelLeace, is silent forever
There are few ofu with whom Moore has
not, at some period of our lives, been pas
sion; and though we may have learned to
look upon many of his poems as bouquets of
lovely flowers acitEoat leaves, the memory Of
many an exquisite line will haunt us forever.
Who shall, who can, eriticise his songs harsh
ly? They are the wall for the lost and abb
sent. Few are the eyes to which the uubid-
den tear does not start at hearing Moore's
songs well sung They find some answer
ing chord in every bosom, so full are they
Of inexhaustible beauty. For perfect mattel
less grace and harmony Of metre, what can
excel them?
Our language grows plant and fexile, to
an unknown capacity, under his genial pen,
which literally showers roses and dew-drops,
music, moonlight and perfume, and distils
them upon our senses with power aItOgeth-
er enchanting and inevitable Was ever
man so alive to those beautiful externals
with which nature so loves to bedeck her
self! He sought not for the inward spirit
ual grace which sheds starry radiance over
our more intonated poets. He was content
to wait for that-hereafter To him it was
enough to enWreathe himself with earth s
garlands, to let his Tyre ring respondingly to
melting lays of love and tenderness to
battle our spirits in the deWy incense of
moonlight, and let earth's glad waters s'sleep
in smiles" There seems to have been, a.
mong certain set, strange association Of
Moore with Wickedness; they look grave
when he is mentioned, and seem, by tacit
consent, to have consigned him to some dark
future. Without knowing anything Of the
private life of our favorite, or that he was
more crring than man gifted Ike himself
a with extraordinary powers ofconyersaticn, d
wit, poet, athe bard Of all circles, the idol
. of his own" might be, We take up the gaunt,
r let in his defence. To us it is impossible Il
0 conceive a bad, heaFtless man, with a son
imbued with such sentiments as Moore show
ers upon US in his exquisite songs. Hi
: faults were those he shared with many !; ant
! we're they not those which man forgives th.
easiest? ''Light be the turf above thee,s
! gifted one, and thanks, a thousand thanks
! for thy beautiful verses, which ever and Al q
melt the ice Of selfshncss around our world
ly hearts. Thou hringest back to rs th
: idols of our early dreams, the hopes, tl
fears, of youth and love; aud, though in fan
2 off England thy ashes sleep, thy so1l is wit
us yet.

We might now have adduced few speci-
mems to verify and illustrate our remarks
In simplicity Of narrative what can vie with
the account Of our Lords birth, life, death,
and resurrection? AS, when we gaze into
a mirror we are not conscious of the reflect
ing surface that interviews, so we feel in
reading the gospels as if neither words nor
language came between US and the scenes
described. The personality Of the evange-
lists themselves is concealed from our view
in the shades of that glory which covers their
pages. They never attempt to eulogize the
! Christine sentiment of admiration escapes
them. They paint without labor a perfec-
ton which never had abode on earth but
once, and that perfection is not diml y sketch
ed in some al stract and shadoWy ideal, but
is embodied in the actual man of Nazareth
They exhibit the perfect man, living, acting
speaking, loving, sorrowing, praying, suffer
ing, and dying. What CLEANS of beauty
what strokes of nature, what touches of pa
thos in those parallels! And these miracles
are told without an exclamation of surprise
s0familiar were the analists with them
Sometimes they call them "wonders" o.
''signs," but the wonder-worker names then
simply 'works, "*--to him they were with
out effort. And in the Epistles what spe
clmens have we not of almost every form o
imposition, description, narrative, argu
ment, oratory-bold inyectiVe and suddel
apostrophe-antithesis and climax-the brie
words of anger-the sad regrets of disap
pointed hope-the soft breathings Of affec
tion-the vehement outburst Of self-yindi
cation-the long and effective argument, Of
ten ending in an anthem-logic swelling in
to lyrics-the terse deliyerance Of ethica
maxims, and the cordial greeting and kin
remembrance of former friends. No Wondc
