opportunity of giving You my testimony IN IA
vor of your SOUTHERN ANTIDOTE for the
cure of Cholera. Cholera Morbus. and DiaTrhea
have used it for two years past on the laborers
under my charge with almost universal
success-and in all cases of premonitory symp-
toms of Cholera and Diarrhea consider ii a
certain cure if taken n time. My confidence in
it induces me to keep constant supply at each
of the depots and stations on the Railroad.
would earnestly recommend it to planters and
Others. Very respectfully.

CHANGES IN THE SENATORIAL DELEGATES
OF THE FREE STATES.

The terms of the following Sena tors will ex-
pire on the 4th of March, 1856 Messrs Nor
ris, of New Hampshire Seward, of New York !;
Cooper, of Pennsylvania Chase, of Ohio; Petit,
of Indiana Shields, of Illinois Dodge, of Iowa );
and Walker, of Wisconsin.
Owing to the rule of biennial Legislatures in
Ohio, an election for Mr.. Chase's successor took
place last year, and resulted, as we know,
in the election of Mr.. Pugh, thorough Pro
Slavery man. Had not such miserable rule
prevailed, the election would have taken place
this fall, and Mr.. Chase would have been re-
elected. As it.is Freedom loses "a Senator, and
Slavery gains one.
is mystery. His place will be filled by an
Anti-Slavery man.
The Know Nothings of New York are strain
ing every nerve to kill Mr. Seward; but we do
not believe they can secure a Legislature that
will return Pro-Slavery man.
The recent elections in Indiana, PennsyIya-
MIA, and Iowa, secure the election of Anti-Ne-
braska Senators from these States and there
can scarcely be doubt that the same result
will follow from the elections in Illinois and
Wisconsin.
The vacancy in New Hampshire, occasioned
by the death of Mr.. Anterior, elected to serve
till 1859, will be filled by the next Legislature
of that State, doubtless with an Anti-Slavery
man. With the exception of Toucey, of Con-
necticut, and James, of Rhode Island, whose
terms will not expire till 1857, the Senators

AN INCENDIARY DETECTED-NARFOW Es-
CAPE

The good people of CULVER, little town in
Illinois, were lately favored with most provi-
dental escape from a danger which, unseen
threatened their peace and security. man.
named Linkinput, from the far Souta, had To-
Gated himself among them, and opened a little
bookstore. He was peaceable, and apparently
well disposed; but one time in opening a par
eel received from his shop, the postmaster Mr..
Keen, observed that the paper in which it was
wrapped consisted of several sheets of Fletch-
er's famous Studies of Slavery! This aroused
his suspicious, for it is notorious shat these
Studies are one continued tissue of falsehood
about our free domestic institutions, and ma
lignant attempt to depreciate the blessings of
the hireling system of labor. From that hour
the ever-faithful postmaster kept his eye on the
smooth-tongued incendiary, until ONE day he
detected a large package in the Office, in Lin
kinput's handwriting, directed to somebody in
Mississippi, he could not make out the name
AS it was his duty to forward the letter, he
called few of the prominent citizens of the
place in consultation, and the conclusion, in
view of all the circumstances, was, that he might
break it open, so as to ascertain Che precise
address. He did so; but what was his horror
to find the letter nothing but a Easely libel
lous attack on the whole system Of Gree labor
He Immediately laid it before the Mayor, who
summoned meeting of the Corporation to de-
iberate on the momentous subject, but, Linkin-
put, getting wind of what was in progress, sud
denly left for parts unknown. Ano it was well
he did, for the patriotic ardor of tb.s good Peo-
pie could not have been restrained Eom making
an example of the vile incendiary. Too much
praise cannot be awarded to the v.gilant post
master, and too many thanks cannot be render
ed to Providence for puttingit in the heart of
this base villain to wrap his goods IN Fletcher's

Studies of Slavery. That the reader may see,
says the GuHiDer Journal, what wonderful es-
cape we have had, we subjoin the following
extract from the correspondence. He is writing
of a friend who had emigrated from the South
to Illinois:
"--t talks as if this place were to
be his home for life. He seems pleased with
all things-Free Labor not excepted. Indeed,
he is so far gone as to talk of the superiority of
the cash to the lash system. In fact, he is be-
coming just as sordid as the hireling system
itself. For Northern men, born and educated
under this accused system, | can have some
sympathy and Respectfully don't know any
better: but my whole soul rises up against one
of those men from the land of Chivalry, who,
after having enjoyed the benefits of the patri-
archal institution, give up their principles and
become the apologists of this damnable system
of hirelng labor"
The Journal apologies for de6ling its col
umns with such fanatical and incendiary stuff,
and adds that the Mayor has proclaimed day
of thanksgiving on account of this Providential
deliverance of the town of Felicity from the
Vaccinations of Slavery emissary.
If the account be true-but we confess it
seems to us not sufficiently authenticated-it
shows that the Northern People are becoming
almost as vigilant and brave in the defence of
their peculiar institutions, as their brethren of
the South are in defence of theirs.

concur fully in your views Of the import

crisis in our enterprise. Politics and parties
are truly in a chaotic state and future forma-

our National Anti-Slavery movements. 1t is by
no means an Anti-Slavery-and not even an
Anti neutrality-suspicious. am sorry that
