THERE NoRTH.-Daniel Webster long
mourned over the humiliating subserviency
of the North He often sckened at the avid
ity with which dough Faces" submitted to
the unjust demands of their Southern task
masters, and sometimes not only looked for
ward TO The period when their subserviency
would cease, but when there would be "a
North" This prediction he uttered in his
celebrated Marshiield speech, as follows
"We talk Of the North. There is no
North. think the North is at last dscoy-
cred think there cH be a NORTH; butup
TO the recent session Of Congress there has
been no North. What mean to say is, if
] am to understand geographical section
Of the country in which there has been
found strong, conscientious, and united OPP
position 10 Slavery, no such North has ex-
isted''
II Mr.. Webster was still among US, he
would see that now, if never before, 'the
North Star is discovered" and that THERE
IS North. Slavery has had its last trl-
umph.

A basqu,ne is very fashionable at this sea-
son in Paris. 1t is pretty little garment
which is worn over the body Of the dress,
open in front, and almost tight to the waist,
where it forms n pretty half founce.-
Those made Of oriental cashmere, embroid-
cred in bright colored arabesques, have a
charming effect. Velvet cloaks trimmed
with deep lace will be much worn this win
ter, say the modest Boston Post.

discovery OF Railroad Dspredatioas IN OHIO.

Far some time past extensive robberles
have been practiced on lines of travel be-
,..aan New York and the Lake cities. Good
have been missed from the propellers az de-
nots. and freight cars. 1t has been known
that these depredatons were perpetrated
ACCORDING to a system in which number
Of persons were engaged. Boxes of goods
were missing, boxes have been broken open
and parcels stolen, and many packages have
never reached their destination 1t was
suspected several mouths ago that party
of these rascals who were carrying on this
scheme had their headquarters in this CT
ty. A Iarga amount Of goods has been miss
ed from the Mad River Depot, and last
week such developements were made as
induced the Superintendents to set
watch A shrewd employee, who could be
trusted, was appointed to be on The alert,
and he succeeded in trapping half dozen
rascals.
About midnight six men entered the Mad
River Railroad Depot, with dark lanterns.
The spy was on the qua pi0e, and followed
them. They at once began operations by
breaking open boxes. He managed SO eau
tiously as to be able to get view OF their
faces, and not only that, but got the names
on the boxes they pluudered. When the la
bors of the night were over, they retreated
from the scene Of their depredations. and he
followed, W hen accidentally he stepped on
q plank which slipped and made noise. At
once, one Of the burglars cried, 'If there is
4 man in this depot he's dead man,
throwing the light from his lantern, as he
.poke. directly in the direction OF the sound
The spy was in his stocking feet, and was
we'll acquainted with the depot, ari beng
rood dodger, kept out Of the line OF the Ian
ern light. Two Of the burglars, with re-
divers in their hands, began to search the
epot. The spy was unarmed, but he sue
eeded in secreting himself SO safely, that,
hough the burglars searched tor long time
hey did not find him..
On the following morning six arrests was
made. Among the burglars were three out
II one family. father and two sons all IN
he employ Of the Railway Company. The
two bows were check clerks. The other |
burglars were also employees of the compa-
ny.
1t is now ascertained that they have been
stealing for more than year, and have been
in the habit of sending goods on the Lake,
and to the town in the vicinity. Through |
their arrest such information has been OBJ |
tanned as will lead to the arrest Of parties at
other places. No elimination has yet been
had before magistrate, and therefore | do
not send you names. The papers of this
place.haye not given particulars OF the ar
rests, because it has been tn )ught advisable
not to advertise the detection of the Sandus-
Ky villains, lest those at other points elude
officers sent in quest of them. But 80 much
time has now elapsed, that whatever can be
done will be done before the Times with
this letter can circulate here.

OVER-TRADlNG.


Z "Speech was given u.s. said a great d.
plomatist, "to enable us to conceal oul
thoughts" And there is no field of human
research in which words are used more fog
gily than that of Political Economy. lie,
US consider one Of the favorte terms Of it,
mystical vocabulary-"Over trading
which is always made to do yeoman's ser.
vice in case OF a general revulsion or Nation.
al embarrassment.
/ What is meant by "Over-Trading."
/ There are men in our City whose transac-
tons during the year now closing amount to
millions of dollars, yet they are nowise i'm
poverished nor embarrassed. There are 9th.
ers who have done comparatively little bus
mess, yet who now find themselves over
whelmed by the extent of their obligations.
What has caused the difference Not dis
parity Of capital alone; for men Of small
capital have come out solvent. while others
who commenced the season with larger
means are under the weather. What is it,
then.
We answer-The vital cause Of pecuniary
endorsements, personal or national 10 not
over-trading, but over-buying, or Cf you
please over consuming. You may trade as
much as you please SO that you keep the
balance Of payments and of available as
sets on the right side. But the farmer who
has raised and turned off $1,000 worth Of
produce this year, and meantime run up
bills at the stores for Sl,50e worth of
Cloths, Groceries, &c, is pretty sure to be
embarrassed, unless he had reserve fund to
fall back on /; and measurably SO if he has
built house costing $4,000 without having
accumulated beforehand wherewithal to pay
for materials and labor. His place may now
ago to cover all his debts but this don't
he may be in trouble in spite Of an increase
of property.
Thus it is with our country. Her Over
Trading is simply Over Buying. Shs is
richer to-day than she ever was before but
her newly constructed Railroads, Lake
Steamers. Roads, Bridges, Buildings. Clear
ings, &c, cannot be melted into anything
that will pay debts in Europe-or only at a
very great sacrifice. Had the labor that has
stood idle in our market-places been en-
ployed in making Iron, Cloth, Wares, &c 4,
/ for which We have run in debt to Europe,
we might have gone ahead as fast as we
have, without mourning any check or cmbar-
rassment. We are in trouble exactly as any
| poor farmer would be who should let his BOYS
! frollc at the tavern, while he hired neigh
bors to chop the wood and tend the cattle,
paying them with orders on the store.
/ Let us use words which express what we
mean. Our mistake consists in sending TO
Europe for fabrics that We might and should
have produced for ourselvs. We have
bough. them cheap, it is said, but nothing
is cheap 10 us, if we have MT the means of
paying for it; and it is runous to buy, even
at low prices, that which Home Labor has
stood Idle tor want OF chance to produce.
Only through just equipoise of our sales
with our purchasers can We enjoy true and
solid prosperity.
