This faithful friend of the South is pursued
hotly not only by the blood hounds of Aboli'

party of the South. We scarcely open whig

he comes into power, the opposition hurl at
him the shafts of hatred, envy and malice. So

BAD A1R-Somehody says, and truly too,
tina, bad air is slow poison. And that is the
trouble. People go on taking it day after day
into their lungs, and night after night. They
grow pale, their lungs suffer, the circulation is
languid, they take colds readily, the chest, the
stomach, the skin becomes disordered. and q
host uf chronic diseases attack them. a little
carbonic acid taken every day does not kill a
man. It's Almost a pity it don't! If red hot
stove destroyed instantly one man, iu every
town daily for week, there might be some sal.
vatian tor the nation. II, instead of faintIng
away in crowded and badly ventilated public
assemblies, people occasionally died outright in
convulsions, the authorities would take the
matter in hand, and make it penal for the owns
ers of,such buildings to open them for public
use without attending to the proper condition
for the preservation Of health. When thing
is only slow poison. the age is too much in
hurry to attend to.it

Slavery in GaIifornIa.I.

Happily, the result OF the fecent eiecI 0ns -
not altogether disastrous to the South. Even
from the gloom of defeat nthe North, comes
q ray of6ppe that the Sinsoleut triumph Of; the
abolitiohists may stimulate the zeal of the ap.
athletic and rouse the resentment of the submiss
sive, so that men Of all parties and; ofseyery
disposition in the South, may perceive the ne.i
cessity of united and energetic aetionin defenee
of their rights. !. ~ $..5s,t3
Besides this general effect, there is 9 signi6-.
canoe in the result Of the California elections;
which the South observes with satisfaction aud
with presage Of good fortune. In addition to-
the ordinary political issues, parties in Califor-
MIA are distinguished BY diverse and conflicting
views of slavery. The Democratic party is.
split into two factions, one Of which processes
the fashionable freesoil notions Of slavery and,
of its evil influence on; theswelfare Of society;
while the other understands its true nature, and
proposes to introduce and establish it in tho
State. The forces Of the first are led by Brods
erick. and are mainly recruited by emigrants
from, the New England States. The other
party is composed chiefly Of Southern gentte-
men; and whilst ordinarily distinguished by its
attachment to the fortunes of Senator gGwin,is
really controlled by such meni as Hamilton,
Peachy andInge. The struggle between these
parties has been fierce and arduous, and twas
long doubtful for whom victory wouldp
nounce. But the vulgar emery Of brutaf
rodyism was unequal to the, contest with tai
ent and character, and we witness at last the
complete triumphof the Chivalry = The cam
didates of the Gwiu Democracy are elected by
decisive majority over both the Broderick
men and the Wings. 4.
. The unseen but active issue between these
factions is whether the Southern portion of CAL
fornia shall be organized into separate State,
with constitution recognising and establish.
ing slavery. The recent success Of the Gwji
party promises satisfactory solution Of this
problem And thus may the military violence
by which California was devoted to freesoil be
avenged, and the South be yet restored to an
equal participation in The wealth of that splen-
did empire. The Nebraska principle ofpopu-
lar sovereignty and non Intervention smooths
the way for the establishment of a slave State
in Southern California. For, if the people of
California choose to divide their domain, and to
set ap another State with Southern institutions,
Of course Congress will not presume to inter.
poso any objection. The Nebraska bill forbids
Congressional interference, and leaves it to the,
,"people of State or Territory to determine
their own Institutions Southern California is
peculiarly proptious to negro labor, and itsi in
habitants are very anxious that slavery should
be introduced amongst them.

he turned out genuine French officer, ready;
for active service.
"The Emperor of the French has taken q
great fancy to the American Bonapartes, and
having made not only an officer but Frcnch-

also succeeded in persuadng the father to give

move with most of his family toll France. My
informant states that a princely title aws:ts

LIFE INsuRANcE.-The following extracts
are from the report of the Georgia Southern
Mutual Insurance Company:
The business Of our life department for
the past year has been slowly bht steadily in
creasng. The number of our policies, the
amount insured, the!aocumulated fund, as we'll
.as the profits on. hand to be divided among the
insured, are greater than at any former period.
The directors have, however, resolved to
declare for 1855 only the same ten per: cent.
dividend they have been paying for the two
years, past, believing That the extraordinary
sickness now prevailing at Savannah and
Charleston requires much prudence and eau,
ton, so rs to preserve our reserved fund 'uu-

regularity of our losses from time to time
the steady progress in our business; and the

our future probable losses, and to secure the
permanence, stability aud success of our COM

Fashion OVerdOne.

The frequent changes and extremes OF iash
ion, which occupy so much of the time ano
attention of the ton belonging to exquislted"m
has been the subject Of much comment, and
its votaries the objects of as much amusement
and ridicule.
An incident is related, which illustrates the
danger to young men, of sometimes having
their unmentionables made HttLe too fashion
able. 4
A young gentleman, from one of the interior
cities was invited to accompany friend on a
visit to the country, which invitation was &C.
cepted, and in order to appear in the best and
latest trim, our nice young man concluded to
order from his tailor q pair Of extremely fash
ionabIe ertras
The time allowed for their completion being
so short, the tailor could only finish them for
the gentleman justbefore taking the cars, which
commonly like time and tide wait for no man,
consequent, our hero had no chance for trying
on before leaving AN opportunity however occur
red on the way, and to his very great surprise
and Inconvenience, his tailor had followed In
structions r,ther too closel y-the effort to
draw on was talure-it was emphatically no
go.
Arriving at their place of destination our
travellers put up for the night, and it may be
that oar hero co,solcd himself the while with
the thought that he would try again and may
he have better luck next time.
In the morning the party were late at break
fast, and as an apology to their generous host,
one of them gave as reason for their tardI-
ness, the irdispositon of another to rise ear
ier, Dut the true secret of the mat ter was, that
the gentleman of the tight pants, had been
making sundry Intellectual efforts again, and had
finally to appear in his travelling costume,
deeply mortified, after the bell had been rung
aud Il messenger sent TO announce breakfast in
waiting.
Now the moral to this incident is quite nat
ural and simple. People often put themselves
to "a great deat of unnet essary trouble to BE-
uncomfortable, and the suggestion of common
sense is quite rational. II is better neither to
I've too far ont or IN the fashion. r., !, ,..a
