the political complexion as correct as possible
and which comprises oil but about a dozen

in both Senate and House, is but 42-leaving

This calculation is made on the supposition
that all those put down as Democrats are sup
porters of the Nebraska bill, which is probably
far from the case; for out of the number of those
returned as Democrats, we do not believe there
are ten svowed Nebraska men In the whole of

sECTIONALISM.

| The Southern newspapers are crying out
against Northern periodicals and journals, Tor
assuming what they are pleased to term Sec
tional character-ir other words, for admit
ting articles into their columns upon the sub
iect of Slavery Harpers' and Putnam's Mag
azines have committed objectionable offences
of this kind, and are denounced unsparingly
by all parties south of Mason and Dixon's
| line.
Will these Southern editors be good enough
to point ont periodical published in the South
which is not strictly Southern and sectional In
character Can they name one which is not
the strenuous advocate of Slavery! There is
the Southern Quarterly ReUiew at Charleston,
whose staple is Slavery; the Southern Literary
Messenger at Richmond, the same; and DE
Botc's ReUiew, which purports to be published
at New Orleans, but is edited in this city by
the Superintendent of the Census, also intense
ly Pro-Slavery. Every newspaper printed in
the slaveholding States, with two or three ex-
oeptions is Pro-Slavery; nineteen-twentieths
of them intensely 3d. Even their agricultural
papers have Southern" incorporated in their
title-pages, and interviewer in every line. We
hear of Southern Commercial Conventions
" Southern" manufacturing establishments,
which make the strongest sectional appeals for
support, and " Southern" colleges, which do
the same thing Almost every enterprise at
the South is gotten up in q spirit of antago-
nism to the North, and makes the lustiest ap-
peals to the bitter sectionslism of the South
for support
How strange, that a people who live, and
move, and have their political and social ex-
istence, in an atmosphere of sectionalism,
should rail on. at the slightest indication of a
similar spirit at the North!
But the truth is, there is very little sectional
feeling at the North The Northern people
are opposed to Slavery, but they are not op-
posed to the South. On the contrary, they
hail with pleasure every indication of improve
ment and prosperity which is exhibited at the
South. The North builds railroads, churches,
and schools, for the South, by tho most liberal
contributions and subscriptions of stock. Hun
dreds of thousands have been freely contribu-
ted at the North, to relieve the sufferers from
fires or from pestilence. This is as it should
be. Sectional hatred, or jealousy, is a mean,
narrow spirit unworthy of free people.
There are Northern men, doubtless, though few
in number and uncomfortable in weight, who
hate the South; but such is not the spirit Of
the great body of Northern people, who, while
they hate Slavery, cherish the kindest wishes
for the prosperity and happiness of the South.

CoAL.-Among the articles to be admitted
free of duty, from the British North American
provinces, is coal. This is right. As our miner;
appear to be unable to supply the demand, Il
cept at exorbitant prices, it is we'll to have an'
other supply opened. We trust Congress vii
not stop here, but at it's next session renoa
the duty from foreign coal altogether. No
class of men should be permitted to depredaie
on the community. Subject the miners and
dealers in coal to competition, and they viii
soon come to their senses.
