| IN the personal history OF the founder Of Christ
anity i. 10 stated that Joseph was carpenter, and
the suppositon is That the Savior also worked a
the trade although this is not distinctly stated
The trade however, of house-carpenter is one
that has ever been esteemed for its manly charac
teristics: accuracy of eye, thoughtfnlness of dc
sgn strength of arm, vigor of frame, all in
VOWED in it, In the great march of pioncership,
the housc-carpcnter takes precedence of all other
workmcn, even the farmer, for the first throb of
civilized settlement exhibits itself in the erection
Of house--humble, yet gloGious--smple, yet
awakening c poetry not second to that reused by
the althenon. For what is the graudcst arcbi-
lecture Of Greece but the extension Of the radical
idea Of the house-carpentcr? The pillar is but
the mimicry Of tie body oi a tree iianking the
DOORS end the classic lowering Of the capital but
the acanthus. In the rule, the saw the plane, the
chisel too, lie all the essential pcrlections of mod
ern machinery, as it is combiucd and set in motion
by steam. He who has not learned to hew and
shape wood, must often have wondered at the
proud dextcrty with which the tree Of tic forcs
is converted into floors that bear the domestic MS
tory of nation, the doors that guard its life ant
wealth, the windows that exclude the seasons rig
ors, the roofs that cast off the storms torrent auC
lay it harmless on the earth. Each house so con
truccd is in itself an epic Of beauty, rcciting th'
life Of humaEity-the light and love of all tia
makes being dear,--of hume. But in what honor
is the architect held who so cuts and squares anc
rounds the tree Ot the forest, and leaves the plO
Eecr-waudcrer in security to cherish the genia
earth and build up empires? Under the pernicous
system of Slavery, he is held in anything but hon
or-u,leed there his lot is ign0minious brutality
Like cattle he is bought and sold, and the more
perfect his skill, the greater his Intelligence, tht
higher is his market price and the more ready tht
sale. The following advertisement on this head is
taken from late number Of THE Cdarleso,

Mn U,RRis--I have been informed Of nm inci<
dent which took place on board of brig belonging
to this town which illustrates the daring audact5
Of the South and the craven spirit Of the North
The brig Shackford, on leaving II Southern port.
was pursued by one Of the slryeocracy and his
ninions who accused the captain Of the brig OF
carrying off d fugitive slave. They entered tho
brig and searched her, hat und no fugitive slave.
Still these save-hunters detained the brig. declaring
there was some fugitive concealed ON board And
notwithstanding the captnin's denial they smoked
out the vessel so that the sailors could scarcely
breathe and then lDlush ye Northern doughiaaGGesl

What Il volume does this incident reveal OF South

the last edition of Southern outrage. How long
will the North suffer itself to be treated with cou-

The Rev. Theodore Capp, of New Orleans. in a
letter to the Rev. Thomas Whttemorc, says that
Mr.. Calhoun said to him in substances
Slavery cannot live long in the United States.
It will have run its race by the end of the next
one hundred and fifty years. Slave labor is too ex-
pensive to last long. In populous community it
must over be disastrous, not only in its bearings
on their pccunary interests, but also in many 9TH
CT respects because in such state of society, free
labor is far the cheapest and will consequently be
preferred. According to nn eternal law of Heaven,
in the long run, Tie most expensive and unpropi-
tious forms of labor must be every where superse-
ded by the least costly and most efficient"

CogcaEss-" Gerrit Smith you know, is rich.
Throughout the session he received nothing of his
pay, although the members genervly keep pretty
nigh even with their accounts by drawing sums of
hundred, fifty, or twenty-five dollars at a time,
When he asked the Sergeant-at-Arms for a settle
ment, that officer computed an item Of nearly five
hundred dollars for milaSe. Mr.. Smith produced
n memorandum of his expenses in coming to
Washington, which, together with eight dollars a
day for the time amounted to less than forty-fve
dollars lie doubled this amount to pay for his
return home, and refused to receive more thus
turning back into the pocket of Uncle Sam about
four hundred dollars"
