statement recently put forth by Mr. Dorian late of the
steamer Arctic:
l wish to make to you few remarks relative to Mr..
Dorian, with regard to my fathers greeting him with
congratulations and Communications of his good conduct
Such the case, for my father did not know
him until about ten days ago, when he called to see
my father in relation TO his going out in the steam

that Mr. Dorian made himself known father who then
remarked that his Mr. Dorans) might be excep-

the allied powers stood looking without offering their
aid when it most wanted. They were employed in
terrifying the the European side of the sea OF
Marmosa and the Dardaneles in occupying them with
their troops in virtually taking possession OF Constan

and in short in placing ring in the Mussumans nose

STATE-RIGHTS MEN OF THE NORTH.

Notwithstanding the fact that northern politicians, gem
orally are hostile 10 the institution of slavery in the
South still it is not to be denied that there are hon
orabe exceptions to this remark There are in the
North Who though taught from childhood to believe,
they do now copscentously believe that slavery is
moral social and political evil nevertheless regard ii
question of purely local to be decided upon by
each State for itself True they opposed to it, and
would vote against its introduction in the States where
they reside but they not disposed to take away the
constitutional right of every sovereign State to settle the
question and bear the responsibility of the wrong for
itself They know this is right guaranteed every State
by the federal constitution Although opposed to the
friends to the constitution they feel bound to sustain
us in constitutional rights States This is all the
friendship we ask of them. As Mr. Clay once said we
would not have them plunge their hands in their bosoms
and tear away their conscientious convictions upon any
question The people OF the North have the right to think
and act for themselves and claim the right They
think slavery moral and political evil therefore they dis
card it, We think slavery moral and political blessing
TO master and slave therefore tolerate and retain it.
Their decision and action is Of our business 1T is
right they enjoy under the constitution Our decision and
action is none Of their business is right we enjoy UNI
der the constitution And thank God that there
few men in the North who take this view Of the subject
The present administration takes this view of it, Senator
Douglas of Illinois and many others Of the ncorrupible
denocraey and members of the press Of that State take
this view oft Hon. A. c. Dodge of Iowa aud Messrs
rgbt Lane Hendricks and Petit of Indiana William

together with many others in New York and other north

THE TWO DAGUERREOTYPES

Jim Scroggins, though in the main on
honest, peaceable, quite harmless fellow
had u beastly habit of getting drunk
whenever fit opportunity presented
itself, and unfortunately because "where
there's will there's way" the oppor-
tunities were both fit and frequent.
Jim owned a comfortable homestead
that he had almost paid for, Mrs. Scrog-
gins was o real worker" and no doubt
did her full share in buying the home
stead. She was endowed with great
deal of energy, good judgment, and peo-
pie were SO malicious as to say she was
the smartest man of the twain.
BE this as it may, Mrs Scroggins was
an industrious woman, and took a good
deal of pride in the little place which
had been bought by their mutual indus
try--and the thought of having it wrest-
ed from them by a cold-hcartcd creditor
was in the highest degree disagrceablc {;
but to such calamity her husbands
infrmity, as the good minister of the
village called IT, seemed TO point.
The habit grew upon him, as it almost
always now d cs upon those who are
in tho habit Of inbibing it too freely.
The miscries Of the drunkard's wife had
been too often presented to the good
woman's understanding, to be regarded
as simply creations Of Imagination, and
she looked forward with alarm to the
prospect of enduring them, and losing
the little place.
What could be done: She had ex.
haustcd her eloqucnce upon the infatu-
ated man, without procuring anything
but temporary effect She pointed
out to him kindly, the inevitable effect
of his indulgence he promised to do
better; but alas for the vanity Of human
expectations he got tipsy the very next
day.
Then she appealed To bis love Of
money--to his satisfaction Of being the
owner Of cottage aud ten acres Of land,
and, warming up with the Importance
Of the subject, declared that she would
