The New York Tribune Of yesterday has the
following:
aThe Satanic Press has discovered "a nut
for the Abolitionists,' in the account Of certain
freed negroes in the county Of Nottoway, Vir-
ginia, asking to enter again into Slavery.
They had been manumitted by WILL and wish
ed TO become, says the statement the property
Of the next Of kin to their late master. A bill
to effect this has passed the Senate Of Virginia,
and, it is supposed, will pass the House.
aThe NUT the Abolitionists can crack very
easily, or it is very rotten. Oh, that an Amer
lean can be found to gloat over the imbeoility
of poor creatures brought up in State where
to educate them is a crime, now punishable
and now punished with imprisonment Imbe-
cility 30 great that their mental powers, teach
ing self reliance, like limbs never used cease to
have vital action; or, like fish in the darkness
of the Mammoth Cave, cease to have eyes IL
the miserable blacks have done all this Of their
own prompting-whch part of the story we do
not believe--it only proves the crime Of 80
treating men that they can lose all sense Of
dignity, and become as animals. The OF
knoweth his owner and the ass his master's
crib 1t is the best argument against Slavery
that can be usedn
We have seen the statement 10 which allu-
sion is here made and we have seen it without
wonder; for we have familiar knowledge Of
the unbesrable expressions experienced BY free
negroes in many portions Of Virginia Poor,
ignorant, and degraded yet deeply attached to
the only home they have ever knovn--hesvily
taxed, without possessing the corresponding
privileges so valued by the white man-men-
aoed with the favorite executive measure Of
Ex-Governor William Smith, and others, Of
expulsion from the State, or tho only alterna-
tive Of being sold to masters not Of their own
choice--who can wonder that they should de-
sire the only protection permitted them, that
Of white master whom they know to DO mer-
ciful and kindi II the instance so vauntingly
proclaimed proves the affection and servility

For tho National Era.
AT HOME,
BY HERBERT INGALLS,.

BY HERBERT INGALLS,.
As one who, wandering in tangled wood,
Whore heavy boughs shut out the day,
With nought to break the solitude,
With nought to mark his devious way,
At length energies into fields Of green
Whore summer birds are heard and summer blooms
are seen,
So from my daily tolls and cares,
Here to my favorite haunts come,
And breathe again the purer airs
That sanctify my quiet home;
And thoughts that would not repress.
OerAood the throbbing heart with oldtime happiness
Though loud without the wild storm rage,
There's sunlight still in friendships smile;
The winds their wintry war may wage,
But we are happier the while;
And in the poets wsrbled rhyme,
We hear again the birds that blessed the summer
time.
Our track is not . thornless one
Some bittor mingles in the cup;
A battle lost, . victory won
Thus are our changeful lives made up;
And he is ever hsppiest here,
Who has trusting heart and walks devoid Of fear.

SIGNIFICANT! Ion this morning says
uThe House may determine not to touch Ne
braska until after the New Hampshire cleo

they shall formally approve it. The measure
is to furnish o national, not local. ISSUE"

And why is Il hoped that these States shall
forbear from dsnouncing the measure? Simply,
we presume, because their doing 80 may be
interpreted into acquiescence here at Wash

The Presidenvs representatives in the House
will We doubt not, forbear to do anything be-
fore Tuesday next that would tend to irritate
the people Of New Hampshire. But let us ask,
does any Senator or Representative Of that
State, who is supporting that measure, believe
that he is representing the will of his constit-
uentsl No, not one. They are all but the

PROPOSED DIVISION OF THE SCHOOL FUND
IN PENNsyLvANrA-The Philadelphia Register
says;
aThe Controllers Of the Public Schools Of
this city, in view of bill lately reported to the
Senate by a Pro- Catholic member, Mr.. Nc
Clintock, Of Allegheny, have resolved that the
division Of the School Fund and it's distribu.
ton to sectarian uses are calculated to destroy
the Public School System. Not doubt Of it
If every sect and congregation that chooses to
establish q primary school is entitled to the
share of the School Fund paid in by the pa
rents guardians, or employers Of the children
in attendance, the State authorities would be
turned into tax collectors for the benefit Of re
ligious societies. The controllers and directors
would become Intermediates between the tax
payers and clerical gentlemen. Pennsylvania
would sink into an agent for gathering up
tthes to enable Bishops Kendrick and O'Con-
ner to extend their proselyting operations, by
means Of educational institutions into every
nook and corner Of this Commonwealth. From
this to establishing schools for them would be
but step Why not take it, and accomplish
at once,the union Of Church and Statel
"The effect Of Mr. McCIintocks bill would
be to multiply seotarian schools What sect
would neglect to build up its schools near lite
church, il assured that the State would collect
taxes enough to support il, Can any patriot
contemplate, without fearful forebodiugs, the
sectarian hostilities, social divisions, religious
feuds, local dissentions, chickering's between
Church and State authorities, litigatons be-
tween jealous congregations and political
strife, which would be perpetuatcd by such en-
enlargement to sectarian schools!"

THE EXCLUSION OF THE IMMIGRANT.

The Philadelphia Sun, an earnest and per-
sistent advocate Of the exclusion Of immigrants
from the right Of suffrage, &c., has the follow
ing:
American Principles Spreading The Sen
ate of the United States has engrafted found
alton principle Of Native Americanism upon
the Nebraska bill and we are pleased to state,
further, that George L. Newcomb was elected
Mayor of Salem, Washington county, N. Y ), on
Tuesday, by 700 majority, and the Aldermen
on the same Native American ticket were all
successful. Thus Is the glorious cause spread
ing everywhere--in the halls of legislation and
with the people at the polls. In 1858, when
the Presidential contest comes on, there will be
q great American National party in the field,
and its influence win then be felt and acknowl-
edged"

Stout family, is reported j =.

Mr.. Rustic is making up to our Josephine"
said Mrs. Stout, after the gentleman re-
ferred to had passed the previous evening
at their house, staying to later hour than
was usual.
"You'l better believe it," rejo;ned the
young lady, playfully-

to her husband.

thinks he's some,' was the reply.
"Whether you like it or not, it's my
opinion he'll make tip-top husband .
continued the mother.
"Put her through, mother" said jose
phine, blushing.
"Go in lemons" suggested Napoleon,
smoking through his nose; a remark, by
the way so ambiguous, that it must have
puzzled the other parties to have guessed
his meaning; but, in the present case, it
seemed to be invested with perfect lrcidity.
"Napolecn; I advise you to shut up your
hopper retorted the young lady.
Mr.. Stout then proceeded to inquire if
Mr.. Rustic was 6 man OF property, and
was assured by his better half, that he had
"nocket full Of rocks" The husband
and father then remarked to the effect that
he had been more favorably impressed with
Mr.. Goodwin, young farmer in the neigh,
borhood, than with the gentleman under
consideration
Mrs. Stout manifested different opinion
on the subject, emphatically declaring tina;

making gesture over his left shoulder
with his thumb.
