The nearer man lives to the North Pole,
The sharper and clearer his intellectual lac
ulties become. He has to keep every facui-
" wide awake all the time, in order to AVOID
essrving and freezing to death. The conse'
qnence is, that in all his dealings with the
abolitionists of more genial chimes, he out
wits and overreaches them, soft-sauders and
swallows them like unto snake lubricating
and swallowing his prey. Thus, in the mat
ter of Northern schools, manufactures, &c,
the easy and credulous Southron has been
made to believe that he must go to the North
for frst-rate article, and, being indoctrina-
ted in this idea up to the hub, and made to
feel unalterably certain of his own inferiori-
IT, the abolitionists may abuse him and
steal his negroes till the crack OF doom, and
ne will send his money after his negroes,
with loyal heart and liberal hand. 1here
seems to be general pointing to the North
a magnetic power in that region, which
draws all the precious metals thither, ana
attracts masters and servants with equal po-
tency. The negro goes by the underground
railroad, and the master by the above
ground, but they both have the same desti-
nation. Both are lionized, the master for his
cash and the man for his color, and good
time they have of it, each so long as the
money holds out with one, and no new runa'
way shares the laurels of the other.

tribe of Yankees from the first Yankee
doodle father down to the youngest OF the
codfshes of Massachusetts; denounce them
as politically, morally and socially corrupt to
the core, and, as soon as they can recover
their breath, order their trunks packed up
for long visit to these pleasant, excellent,
and virtuous people. They of course meet
polite and gracious reception. They cast
about their money with a lavish and lordly
hand, and it falls into the pockets of men who,

men congratulate themselves upon the sup.
