= 1t is not often that we find articles of po-
| ltical nature in the Democratic prints which we
feel disposed to copy, but the above, from the JEFF
fcrsonian, contains so much TRUTH that we cannot
let the opportunity pass to lay it before read
crs. The editor addresses his Democratic friends,
not in honied words, but in plain English, demon
strating to them, or at least endcavoring to DEM
onstrate, that the whole tendency of the acquisi-
ton Of Cuba, the passage of the Nebraska Bill,
and the consummaton Of other iniquitous schemes,
is to extend, foster and pcrpetuate Slavery. This
is the end and aim of those who arc "moving
heaven and cartl' to pick quarrel with Spain
on the ground of wrongs committed, and who,
rather than have their cherished schemes defeated,
would see the banner of freedom trailing in the
dust. There is truth in this, and the time has
come when the people should know it. 1t gives us
pleasure, therefore, to find the Jefcrsonan laying
aside its strong partzan feelings and speaking out
boldly on matter where great principle is in
volved, discrepancies of those who continually
checking the wheels of Progress by the cries Of
ss fanaticism, fanaticsm - The agitation of the
slavery question is to be deprecated, but we do in
isst that so long southern men give their coun-
tcnance to the acquisition of more slave territory,
just SO long the North and the West have the
right and it is their duty to oppose by all honora-
BILE means such acquisition though it shake the
foundation of our Union from end to the 9TH
err. If southern men and northern traitors aviH
agitate this subject, upon them let the response
ity rest. The people are not responsible.
Our SIDEwALKs.-We are informed that official
notice has been given the property owners in St.
Anthony ST. to relay the wooden sidewalks in front
of their respective buildings, and to have said
sidewalks completed within thirty days. In view
of the fact, that in June next we are to have some
flee hundred persons in our city at one time, ma
ny Of whom will be obliged to pass up St. Antho-
ny St., it is hoped that those to whom the notice
applies will see the propriety of early action. If
the walk has got to be laid, why not as well lay
it before our visitors come as after Let us have
little pride in this matter, and where we can
make favorable impression, and benefit our
selves thereby, do so. Who will commence lay
ing that new sidewalk?
