PROGRESS.

NN0NN VI iaily anu unnecessarily agl-
tating the Slavery question, and keeping
the whole country in turmoil with ref
erence to it. Now, the fact is. there has
ten times the agitation of the question
come from the friends ofSlavery that there
has from its opponents /; indeed the Anti
Slavery party and the Free Democracy
have always been on the defensive More
-MoRE-is the everlasting cry ofSlavery.
and the effort is, and has been, on the part
of its opponents, simply to maintain to
Freedom what naturally and properly be-
longed to it. But to this we do not OBJ
ject The world is full of wrong and
needs agitation: and as will be inferred
from what follows, copied from the Nelo
York Tribune, agitation of the Slavery
question is doing for that wrong, what it
is sure to do for all wrongs gradually
lifting the public mind to its abolition
not in the Territories, nor in localities
but the Nation over. And there is no
more consOling evidence that a superin-
tending Providence is continually turn
ing the efforts of wicked men to their
own undoing and his glory, than the facts
which follow:
We challenge the curious annals of
history for more striking progressive
change in the sentiment of a nation
than that which has taken place in re-
gard to Abolition, pure and simple, III
the free States of America. A few years
ago and the name of Abolitionist was
identified with social outlawry. South
orn States put price at the head of
Garrison; southern Post Offices opened
letters and papers; and Committees of
northern Safety-men burned Abolition
journals ny the heap; mobs drove the
emancipation apostle from Baltimore
burned down a Liberty-Hall in Phla-
belPhia-shot down Loyejoy for print
ing and speaking democracy-and ey-
erywhere prosecuted the name, fame
and persons of the Abolitionists. Three
years $50 a mob lead by Isaiah Rynders,
broke up their meeting at the Taberna-
Gle, and fairly pursued them from the
City. Two years ago they could not
obtain here place to assemble in, and
were obliged to go tolSyracuse to hold
their Anniversary. But all this is chang
cd. They are welcomed to one of the
largest and handsomest churches in n.
York. and for the past two days their
discussions have not only been entirely
undisturbed, but have been attended by
crowded and sympathetic audiences of
the mostrespectable people. Even con-
selvatism and moderation now listen
without shock to the bold utterances
of these quondam fanatics. Such is
the effect produced by the conviction
which is now gaining complete possess
ion of the public mind at the North,
that the South is faithless to its own
pledges and is resolved to extend the
area of Slavery at whatever risk. The
great change has been wrought by tho
Nebrask bill, and as yet We are only At
the beginning. Garrison, Phillips and
all their compeers, could not have made
SO many AbolitioniSts and Disunionists
in half a ccnsury, rs Pierce, Doug lass
Badger and Clayton have made in three
months.
The great question which occupies, at
present, the Court Of France, is the di-
vorce of the Emperor. He no longer
hopes to have any children by his pro-
sent wife, and it is said that he thinks
oftaking another. Thereport is nototii
cialbut as it has appeared in several licen-
sod papers, the truth of it can scarcel y
be questioned Napoleon III ia, how
ever, very fond of his wife, and the di-
vorce will resemble in every point that
of his uncle and Josephine, who were as
Won know, SEPARATED for the same reason
Whether from this motive, or any other,
the Empress of the French is looking
very melancholy. 1t is impossible to
see her without beng struck by hor cx-
preston of sadness. As to the Emper-
or, he appears constantly calm and i'm
perturable Paris letter.

LY-It is almost hazardous to say any
hing against a condimcnt SC universal
ty used and re!shed as this. but 4 word
lof caution is needed. Horse r0di>h is
highly stimulated and exploring to the
stomach, and this effect is almost always
followed by lassitude and weakness. We
have met with several cases, where per
sons have ignorantly used this root so
freely SO as to be scarcely able to labor
at all.
Where it is needed as medicine, 3
small quantity Of horse radish is doubt
less beneficial. But we are quite sure,
from considerable observation of It's ef-
fects upon ourselves and others, that any
person using spoonful or more, at a
meal, will sullerin consequence, although
the cause of this suffering may not be
perceived, since II produces stimuli
