What has She Done?

An abolition paper wants to know
what the South has ever done to adj
vance the reputation of the Repub-
lie. We quote. paragraph:
"Aud what has all this South done
which has SO lorded it with her one
hundred or two hundred thousand ne
gro. drivers over this country
Where are her superioritias, her arts,
or her literature even, except as they
came from the North? Where are
her chemistry, geology, where are
her grand efforts to diminish human
toll; her steam-enginas, locomotives,
timber bending, or planning, or sew
ing, or washing machines, all this
gospel Of divine economies for the
sweating and sorroHing humanities
of thousands Of years?
In what too has she with all off,
cial rhetoric and duellologic contribu-
ted to the inspirations of the centu-
Iry. Nothing, nothing, less than
nothing"
As our friend wishes to know what
the South has contributed to the
country, we would mention George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Pat
rick Henry, and the Declaration Of
Independence. She gave US Marion
and Morgan, the battle of yorktown,
and CORVALLIS S sword. She has done
several other things, but these We
think quite sufficient to Offset the
wonder enacted with gum elastic raj
traps and gutta percha fry pans. By
the way,this sowing i'll feeling among
different portions of the Republic is
a business that we should like to SEE
curtailed. What is made by recrim
ination2 i'll will and enmity. If mer
are wrong, convince them of their er
ror, not by throwing filth at Their
reputation but common sense at theil
brains. About face, and come back

that the South has contributed, by
unjust taxation, more than one thou
sand millions Of dollars to feed anc

Mat 1s HHVOfCs
She slesiis in death serenely now,
Ec5Tdsess of each closing day;
She died in beauty's youthful bloom
And from this world has passed away.
Like sunset hour at evenings close.
So sweetly sleep the unconscious dead,
How calm the Christians last repose.
When from this world the soul has fled,
Reclining on her Saviour's breast.
Adorned with faith and purity;
She's where the righteous are at rest,
From trials and temptations free.
With angels in that happier land,
Her Sayiour's summons TO obev;
She's gone to join that holy band,
And in their heavenly presence STAY.
Fair are the flowers that deck the earth
And fill the air with sweet perfume,
But fairer those of heavenly birth
That will in fsdeless beauty bloom.
Oh weep not friends in hopeless grief,
The absent ones cease to deulore;
For why lament, the time is brief,
When them WE'LL meet to part no more.
Well meet in that celestial cline,
The loved ones of orr earthly home;
Transferred to regions more sublime,
/, Beyond the precincts Of the tomb.
Oh sacred memories of the dead,
So holy and so deep;
How many burning tears we shed,
How oft in silence weep.
For those whose trials now are o,er
Whose life has been so brief:
In vain for them we now deplore -
In unayailing grief.
But why should we lament for they
Who die in early youth;
Whose sinless souls have passed away,
In innocence and truth?
Ills better perhaps. that they should go
Than longer hero remain;
To feel the bitter. Bitter woe
Of parting and of pain
For oh! how hard it is to part
From those we love so well;
How sinks the almost breaking heart
With anguish none can quell.
But we must bow beneath the rod,
OF the Most Holy One;
For tn ne alone, Almighty God, -
: Thy holyw will be done.

TO OUR FRIENDS.

Having enlarged the Waterman
q Journal. and thus increased the
means for interest and usefulness, |
desire also to enlarge its circulation.
The absorbing topics of public
interest and importance, such as the
recent bold, exciting and dangerous
proposition to open the vast Terri
tories of the Union to Slavery
the cause of Temperance and Res
pect TO Law aud Public Order
and the War in Europe, with its
influence upon public questions and
domestic markets-will receive the
prominence to which they are en-
titled. Particular attention will al
so be given to the Boston Markets,
so, as to secure the latest reports
to Agriculture, and to Local I'm
provements while our ann will be
to conduct the Political department
with efficiency, fairness and can
dor.
The political horizon in our own
country portends storm-possibly
dissolution and fusion of old par
ties, and a new division, based more
clearly than ever on the Slavery
question and throughout the world
this is an era OF great events, ma
lerially affecting the government,
the social condition, and the BUSH
ness Of every community.-Sure-
ly Tins IS emphatically the time
when every body should be correct
ly posted up" and prepared for
every event.
If you approve, | invite your CO.
operation in extending the eircula-
ton of the Waterman & Journal
and suggest to you, as you have OPP
portunity. and especially when the
people are together on March meet
ing day, to invite your townsmen &c
become subscribers. Or, commit
this business 70 some active young
man il YOU prefer 1t.

On Tuesday last, Simeon c. Webster

belt Of a driving shaft in a mill at Nashua,

broken and his body horribly manged. Mr..
Webster was in his twentieth year, and had
been married about three months We have
learned from a relative Of Mr. w, that on
the day of the accident Mrs. Webster was
strongly impressed with the idea that ter
rible calamity was then to happen TO her hus-
band. She was exceedingly distressed, and
weeping as # the event had already occur
red, expressed her convictions 10 the lady
with whom she boarded. I his lady endeav-
ored to calm her fears, and invited Mrs. w.
to her room. On the way, they observed
from a window a crowd IN the yard Of the

The Galena Jefiersonisn, a Democratic
journal, thus speaks of those who took part
in the first Chicago meeting TO protest the
course of Mr. Douglas -
"The officers of the meeting were old
line Democrats of le4S, to whom no faint
or suspicion of freesoiism or abolitonism can
be attached; the speakers, with one exception
were warm compromise men m 1850 =
and the great mass of the heares were men
of peace, willing TO acquiesce IN what has
been done, but not TO give another inch TO
the encroachments of slavery. The resolu-
tons of the meeting passed by acclamation."

Senator Dougless is severely but justly
handled by the democratic press of his own
State. A late number Of the Galena Jefier-
sonan, daily democratic print publishes
an eycouatiug article upon his speech upon
The Nebraska question. The following is
an extract:
The question has not been raised by the
fanltcal friends of emancipation, nor by the
Free Sol seceders Of 1913; nor yet By nor
thern Democrats. with whom freedom is not
an impulse, but principle. The latter GER
tsinly were content TO abide the settlement
Of lS5O-they had no fire brand to throw in.
to the democratic camp-they bore no incen-
diary torch by which TO light sectional strife.
The bitter blow comes from another source
from one who has ever acclaimed against
agitation, and who has grown into political
Importance from the supposed sincerity of
hls utteunce-irom an Illinois senator.
Thank Heaven he has a free constituency
aud when, with a charlatanism as thin as it
is contemplate, he charges them with aboli-
tionisni. or in his own classic language, mig
gersm,' he will find that they are able and
willing 10 repel the taunt Upon him rests
