DAILY NATIONAL ERA.


Inc tone Of the ADDRESS ~ manly, frank,
and fearless. We are rejoiced to SOC docu-
ment Of this sort from Washington, and to have
this additional reason for affirming that all
generous spirit is not extinct at the seat OF
Governments At the close are some passages
worthy ofsspecial notice, among which are a
significant allusi0n to the scheme exposed not
long since in the Evening Post, Of annexing to
the United States the eastern part Of St. Do
mingc and restoring the reign Of Slavery in
that island the reference to the design OF ac-
| quring Cuba at the cost of war with Spain
and her allies; and not the least remarkable
OF all, the declaration of the members that
they are prepared to do anything ia their pow
or to restore the Compromise which has been
| violated"
The SLAyE-owNERs MoDE or TEACHING

reputable religious monthly magazine, publish

What does God say about your work? He
that does not q0ork, shall not eat
Did Adam and Eve have to work? Yes,
they were to keep the garden.

The Concord IN. H. Independent Democrat
says:
"The humor of the questions and answers
about INDEPENDENTLY this; What does
God say about work. He that will not work,
shall not eat will be appreciated when we
remember that this is the religious instruction
| provided, for those who do all the hard iOork-
ing, by those who do all the good eating. Who
will not rejoice that those poor slaves are bless
| cd with the consultations OF suck Gospel light ?
Who will not thank God for revivals, which
bring those benighted children of Africa under
the sanctifying Influences Of such catechism
as the above?D
ORR, THE LEcTURER-We have seen and
conversed with this person. He is opposed to
Slavery, and opposed to Roman Catholicity,
He has right to oppose both, if he chooses.
But he is a very wild, reckless, unsafe person,
whose mind is evidently, "like sweet bells
tangled, out Of tune and harsh" We would
admonish all to beware of being led into the
error Of giving him undue encouragement. He
is subject for kindness and compassion. But,
above all, we are led to wonder that intelli-
gent and well-meaning persons can be guilty
of the impiety of styling him the "Angel
Gabriel the assumption of which title by him
should be regarded as sufficient proof Of the
fatuation.
MASSACHUSETTS. = The State Temperance
Convention has adopted resolutions calling a
State Convention prior to the annual election,
when district tickets would be nominated, un.
less the candidates Of the other parties should
be acceptable to temperance men.
| VERMoNT.-Gov. Robinson and Lieut. Gov
Kdder have declined denomination and Mer-
rit Clark, of Poultney, has been nominated for
Governor, and VIM. Mattocks, of Beacham, for
Lieutenant Governor, by the Pierce and Doug
las Convention.
~ We rejoice to learn that the cotton man.
ufacturers Of Georgia and Florida are sending
cloth, in large quantities, to the commercial
marts, and even to New York. This is the
true road to Southern independence.

mouth, Va, was broken open on Wednesday
night and robbed Of nearly $4,000 worth o.
jewelry.
~ In the conflict at Shanghai, Of which
we yesterday published an account, it appears
that Captain Pearson, Of the American shiI
Rose Standish, was killed.
Hon. Thomas B. Florence has again placed
us under obligations, by his attention in for
warding public documents. Should we sue
coed him in the next Congress- we shall en-
deavor to recprocate. --Philddelphia Sun.

While the Nebraska bill was in danger, We
could not be facetious by asking questions al
it's expense. Now that IL 10 secure, we have a
question to PROFOUND to the Washington Union
dis support Of the Nebraska bill test Of
Democratic orthodoxy ~
New York National Democrat.
From all the indications in Illinois we are
forced to conclude that Stephen A. Douglas Il
completely shorn Of popularity and power in
that State, by his course on the Nebraska bill
We do not believe that he could be elected tc
