/ prediction, and yield TO the excited South
that they might save and secure the perpetuiiy
Of the sacred Union.
~ 1t is vain for the upholders and upbuilders
of slavery to claim no progress on the part OF
Abolitionists. Why, then, their trepidation
Why secession councils and conventions? II
our cause is not making, nor is likely to make,
advancement, why are We worthy of notice!
We are told by Union lovers to let slavery
alone. They are not unwilling to admit that
it is an evil but they tell us not to interfere
that it will by and by outgrow itself The
history of the past does not sustain this as
sertion. Nay, the very assertion carries with
itself disproof Is it at all certain that the i'm
portation of slaves would have ceased sponta-
neously, without prohibition? On the con-
trary, it became necessary to employ the most
stringent measures in the prosecution OF those
who were engaged in this traffic, ere the whirl
Of African emigration could possibly be check
ed. Let it sleep however, if you please, and
it can hardly be expected to decrease or d.
minish.
We believe that we can only answer the
demands of justice by setting before the world,
in true and proper light, the wrongs and
wickedness of slavery. Nor can we be weary
in well doing, since it is our belief that the
country demands every effort in behalf of the
poor, the neglected, and the down-trodden.
Acting under the guidance of such motives, we
are determined to press forward. Looking the
enemy straight in the face, we shall encounter
and surmount every obstacle, so long as we
are animated with life Our appeal is to
Christians and men. We believe that we are
subscribing the truest interests of humanity,
and we look for our reward when the Judge
Of all the Earth shall say was an hun
gered, and We gave me meat was thirsty,
and ye gave me drink; was a stranger, and
we took me in naked, and yo clothed me; |
was sick, and ye visited me was in prison,
and We came unto me-" J. h. {.

of Manuel Percira, steward of tho British brig jan
son. in the Jail of Charleston, s. G.
The following notice of this work is copied from the
National Era Of February II:
1.-THE above is the title of a work in press,
founded upon that infamous statute of South Carolina,
by which her citizens claim right to imprson colored
seaansH of all nations, and those cast upon their
shores in distress. We have perused the book in nd
of its publication, and find that it gives life
like picture of Pereira, the vessel in which he sailed
the storms she encountered and her wrecked condition
when brought into the port of Charleston s. c.; to-
gether with the imprisonment of Pereira, several
men belonging to the New England States, and two
French seamen the prison regimen, character Of the
Charleston police, and the mendacity of certain Off
Gals who make the law medium of POPULATION. The
work is replee with incidents Of Southern life and
character pointing Southeners to the things that call
for correction at their hands, with force that
cannot be mistaken. The work is written by who

p,r,,,1 the Dead

The Charleston Mercury does not hare the gem
eral repugnance there seems 70 be enteTtained for
the practice Of burning the dead-said to have
been followed in New Orleans, lately, in oonse-
ouence of the difficulty of providing for them bu-
rial in the ordinary way. Butthts has beendenied.
The Mercury says:
awe are sorry TO see the denial, and still more
sorry to see IT made in form that seems like re-
melting an accusation of henious criminality.-
Why is ihis2 The burning of the dead and enshri-
ming of their purified ashes in vases and monu-
ments was the custom of people, who, of all 9TH
ers that ever lived, were most distinguished for
their reverence of the rights Of sepuIture. The.
custom, therefore, comes TO our remembrance hall
lowed by all that IS religious and poetica, in The
remains of that literature which hiss civilized and
delighted all after ages. Turn II EN- from the beau
tiful and solemn sepulchral ceremonies of The
Greeks, in W hich the sacred flame robbed death of
oil thai was dsgustngly corruptiole, to the intfa
mural burals OF large cities in our time, and esne
cialy during the visitation Of fatal epideics, and
Judge which of the two speaks most toucbingly of
reverence for the dead. Look over the descrip-
ton of few years past of the cemeteries of Lon
don where burial was done by jobbing companies,
and SO little earth wasted in covering the dead that
human careasses were the every day food Of dogs
and obscene birds. Look at the great tropical CT
ties of our time, wherein, during epidemics, the
cemeteries are redoentwith pestilentia vapoTs and
scenes Of unmitigated disgust Then askif this IS
really reverence for the dead, which persists in
making them at once poison and loathng to the
liying2"

New MACHINE FOR SnEARNo METAL.-Mr.
Walter Williams, IT., of West Bromwich, has
patented an improvement in machinery for cutting
or shearing metals. In Mr.. Williams machine,
motion is given TO a shaft, and thence commune
Gated by a screw and toothed wheels 10 double
throw crank, whereby an alternate or reciprocal
ting motion is given 10 blades which slide III car
riaees, and a similar motion in vertical direc
ton is given 10 the cutters by means Of slots made
in them in the form of the letter S, the one rising
as the other falls. The vertical position of these
cutters is maintained by causing them TO work in
slides, formed on the one side by bands or straps
aud on the other by allowing the end OF the cut
ting jaw 10 project over the side OF the standard.
BY this arrangement, the strain at the cutting
point is thrown fiom the jaw back on TO holster.

ACCIDENT ON THE WnmKoroN RuLRoAD.-
The Wilmington, N. c., Journal, notices an acct
dent on the Wilmington and Roanoke Railroad,
Priuuy morning, by The train running over Bull.
This animal had been giving some trouble to the
trains for several days, and on Friday seemed dis
I.osed to put a stop TO the locomotive. He for
ieited his life by his ndiscretion. Little damage
was sustained-three passenger cars were little
injured, and the conductor had piece of skin
knocked off one of his hnuds. We think the
conductors deserves especial pruIse, however, for
their prudence. The Train which met with the
accident laid over, aud the train going South also
laid over the meeting place, and neither budged
from their position until the time for the next
Ind nrriyed.
