ABOLITION ETmcs-In the Senate Of the L.
States, Mr.. Sumner of Massachusetts, said, in re-
ply to Mr. Butler, of s. Carolina who had alluded
in emphatic terms, to the incompatibility between
the oath of the Senator and his averment that he
would not give his sanction 10 the rendition OF
fugitive slaves.
In swearing to support the Constitution at
your desk, Mr. President, did not swear to sup
port it as YOU underestimate. oh. no, Sir. Or as
the Senator from Virginia understands it. Oh no,
Sir. Or as the Senator from South Carolina nm
derstands it. No such thing Sir. l swOre to
support il as understand it. no more. nor less"

are to be interpreted seeuadua Gnimun imPonenffS-
according to the intention of the party by which
they are mpOsed-the impOser being the STATE
which he describes as permanent moral dgent--
And without further reference We presume such is
the rule laid down in all ethical works Now the
clause or section of the Constitution which was
the subject in question, is scarcely susceptible oi
any construction which it has not uniformly re-
ceiyed and the abotiOniStS have heretofore as
sailed it. because it obviously required the rendl-
ton of fugitive slaves But OF what use IS an
oath of Office if he upon whom it ia imposed has
he liber ty of interpreting it for himself in oppo
sition to the construction which 1t has uniformly
received? Grant that Mr.. Sumner understands II
as he says he does for one ofthe effects ofabolon

Natives in Liberia.

moony to an improvement in the character Of the
natives: y
IL Is also gratifying to know that the uat;vss are
becoming Increasingly assimilatel 4, ps in man
ners and habits; their acquisitions for civz,s nro
dnetions Increase annually; they are seldom satis-
fed with the same size and quality of the piece Of
cloth last year. Some of them habitualIy wear
pair Of pantalOons shirt coat and Others all Of
these at once; ard of the thousands that have in
tercOurse with settlements and used to glory in
their greegree and were afraid to utter an express
sion against it, very many Of them are ashamed to
be seen with yestige Of it about them, and if
particle Of it should be about them they try to Sc
crete it, and if detected it is with modification de-
Pieted in their countenaaces; they disclaim IT, or
make some excuse. There is also manifestlY, q
sp'nt ol eommendable competition among them
throughout the country; they try to rival each 9th
er IN many OF the civilized customs pride and am
bition that feel sure will never abate material.
ly, till they are raised to the perfect level of civil.
lied lite, and flow in one common channel with n.
evily and religiously. 1t is certainly progressing
and though some untoward circumstances NAV -,-
tlrd its consummation, yet nothing shall 1.-i-,s

"You are fiirt, Cousin John--a desperate
unprincipled coquette"
AT all this. he seemed as II about 70 nlnt
sway: and If / had not held my peace,l truly
believe he would have swoonod with nervous
horror at the imputation .,.,
Manon 4 dead now II 1t said the Germans
oftanest die broken hearted, because they never
nour firth their sorrow. Had Manon sought
svmpathy, and given vent to her grief, perhaps
she would have borne Il better; or could she
have regarded Cousin John as he is, the spell
might have been broken. He believes himself
innocent, in that he never gave words to his
preference.
When You meet and admire him ms he APP
pears, do not "set your caps" foolish mai
dens! He win pluck out ell the Feathers"
to hang among his own trophies all Of which
love notes faded boquets, and MINISTRIES
he preserves with maudlin fondncss. Hewil
leave you similar relics, always including his
daguerTeotype, for your solace. Though his
outward seeming is captivating though his
life is unsullied by the lower vices-though he
is refined as woman, yet he is strangely blind
to the beautiful dclicacy OF true woman's
soul---as unappreciative Of her finest exccllen-
cies, as was the rude rival in Hawthornes story
of the exquisite masterpiece of the Artist Of
the Beautiful w III Ine balhc CdTcitSS GRASP
that destroyed the fragile mechanism, he
brushes out the joyousness Of young heart,
and hears the ringing laugh changed to an ag-
onized moan, without one regret
A self-righteous fiirt is more dangerous and
moro despicable than one whose conscious and
reckless article is apt to betray itselfis almost
to be classed with the violator Of virtue. He
to whom woman has revealed her most secret
thoughts, and on whom she has consented to
waste the sacred amounting Of her affection, car
never innocently ALLURE his service at the altar
Of her love, unless there be an absolute certain
ty Of greater unhappiness to all concerned by
continuing that service than by withdrawing
from it. And tho same is true of the lady f1irt
who has once purposely found her way into that
sanctuary Of manly affection, in which, if il
has indeed been kept sacred, angels would feal
to tread

Signs Of the Times.

The Grecnbrier Wa) Era, and the Carroll
County (Md) Democrat have abandoned their
old party associations, and come out openly
and manfully in support Of American princi.
ples Instances Of this kind are occurring
every day, and the only danger is, that the OK.
ample win be too universally initiated. A few
opposition papers are necessary to keep our
energies awake But there is such general
leaving in" on every side, that we really begin
to fear that the Washington Union viii soon
be left without an ally in its daily work Of
calumny and detrsction.
