ern President Northern majority in the

have nearly thrice the numerical strength OF
the free people of the Slave States, let them
not whine over the Union as the cause OF their
loss, but let them blush for their own miscon-

that have sold them to the Slave Interest,
for the sake of triumph upon issues infinitely

Meantime, we, as an advocate Of Free Labor,
and Free Labor institutions, are in favor Of
Territorial Expansion, in accordance with the
laws Of Nature and Trade, in obedience to the
legitimate demands Of our social and economi-

In another article, we may try to show that

expressed tho opinion that Crusoe's man Friday
was a funny fellow. We have no doubt Mr..
Fillmore was highly gratifcd TO find the slaves

of This State is perfectly wonderful in the fertil
ity Of the soil. In the counties Of Sen Bernadino
and Los Angeles, where any irrigation is used,
any slip, bush, tree that is planted is sure to
flourish immediately; even the roots that are
set out for fences begin to leaf out, and IN
short time are handsome trees. We are IN
formed by person who recently arrived from
the former county, that IN that vicinity there
are gardens full OF trees loaded with delicious

with loosened sails and shortened cable, that we,

dering and hardship, received parting grasp of

changed the anchor symbol which he ever car
