predictions 1t is most miserable elurt to produce
in the public mind feelings of contempt for the pre-
sent Adminira,inn Its pompous lsc-d'rs are inter-
spersed with such extreme assertions ihesc The
Cabinet is doomed--there liz no power to save It.
With the brood fact standing out in the very sun.
Ii ,ht of truth that the South s evincing in all quar-
,crs her satisfaction with the Administration now IN
power tl. woultl.bc " Jupiter Of tho Cotton
Plant announces that the South is leaving FRASKIIS
PIERCE on account Of his " foul coalition with Free
solers," and that very the desertion will he
complete In full view Of the certainty that tho Adj
ninirraon has strong, powerful and energetic sup
poricra in oil parts OF the Union, this pen;cnipua
wi,eacrc proclaims that it s shortly to be left alone in
its glory We will not aude to his prophecy for '56
any further than say, that we prefer applying to
The Spiritual Rappers for light upon the probable
events OF that period.
The Cotton Plant il usually conducted well, but
this lime some crazy out has slipped in piece of
bitter edilorisl which the editors proper have failed to
scrutinize with their accustomed care. We excuse
them on The supposton that they were in the midst
of Christmas ruIic. Bu, how i, is that SO thought
full and SO suber..ided 4 journal as the Carolnidn

Treatment of colored Folk in Now york

Treatment OF Colored I'olS IN NOW orK.
IT i, getting 10 be notorious the intolerance mani
tested in the Northern Cities towards negroes and
mulatios They regarded with legroe OF scorn
and aversion By the whites which wo feel nothing of
in this latitude. An exchange from Gotham, OF late
date, lays particular emphasis upon The exclusion of
the poor things from the city and omnihusscs BY
conductors and drivers, rcmarkng that while they,
however neat, are rudely refused admitiance, the
most filthy Irish laborer, covered with mud and
reeking with sprituuns exhaatons, can take his scat
on velvet cushions by the side o: silks and sans.'
Even when serving IN the capacity of nurses to white
children, they are forbidden entrance with their
charges and forced to pocf along for weary miles on
foot. This state Of things was evident TO US last
summer while in The Northern cities. 1t increasing,
and the result will be the extermnation, by cruelty
and oppression, Of that unfortunate part of the poPu
kton of those cilies.
Contrast the particular hardship to which We al
lude above with the Charleston omnibus regulations
by which slaves are admitted TO seats as human be-
ings Contrast their treatment in all respects, and
