SPEECH OF HON. GERRIT SMITH.

Tho speech Of this gentleman, on the APP
preparation of the contamination of tho recent
treaty with Mexico, will be found in tho Era
of to-day.
Although we do not assent to all the opinions
expressed by Mr., Smith, wo yet believe that
nothing emanating from his pen can be other
wise than interesting to our readers.
But there is yet another reason why several
speeches of Mr.. Smith, and Of other gentlemen,
have appeared successfully in our paper, in pre-
florence to the productions Of others, to which
we would also cheerfully give place. 1t is
known that the Daily Era has few sources Of
profit and therefore cannot EAll incur any
ayoidable outlay; and the speeches that are
printed in pamphlet form, in our office, are
placed in this paper at comparatively small
expense TO us.

~How can our Now England friends
withstand the threats made in pro-slavery pa
pers, THAI tho youth of the South shall no lon
ger be educated in the colleges Of the North
AS the advantages are all to the North, would
it not BIO well for the people of that region to
sacrifice whatever Of conscience and principle
they may possess, as many Northern mer-
chants and politicians do? Look to it in time!

e., a year ago, il thus proclaims its belief in

es, a year ago it thus proclaims its belief in
Slavery, without respect to raco or color:
1--WE dare and do vindicate Slavery in the
abstract. This is the only tenable ground for
it's defenders We lose the authority of the
Bible, of ancient history, Of the universal prac-
tice Of mankind, (which is but the stern ana
fixed ordination Of Providence,) If we confine
the vindication to negro slavery. We thereby
admit that the Bible is false and wicked, and
that the practices Of mankind in all ages
from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, from Pharaoh,
Joseph, and Moses, from Christ, Paul, and the
fathers down through all history, sacred and
prof,snc, till now--have been unjust and cruel !;
for negro Slavery is new thing.
"Having admitted slavery in the general to
be wrong, we are driven to prove that the ne
gro is not man. He il o mana little above
the monkey, indeed, as the Caucasian Is "a lit
tie below the angela weak, improvident
man, bat not a bad man, except when deprived
of u master, which Nature never designed him
to be- He needs o master to protect and gov
ern him, but 30 do the ignorant poor IN old
countries, whore labor is cheap and employ
ment scarce"
Let us have no more evasi0ns, no more
bubbles That is the ground Of the E1anin-
er--that is tho only ground on which any ad-
yocate Of Slavery can stand, unless he make a
laughing stock Of himself by denying the hui
mainly Of the negro. Yes-your consistent
advocate Of Slavery must deny the foundation
truth of the Declaration of Independence and
maintain the rightfnlnoss Of reducing poor
white men, as we'll Ms black, to that base con-
dition. Holding such a position, he should be
proclaimed everywhere an enemy to tho poor,
an enemy to his country, an enemy to man
kind.
We had good deal more to say of these
Richmond papers, but must postpone our re-
marks.

AMERICAN WoMEN.-Thc following char
ming passage is from Rural Hours, by Miss
Cooper, daughter of the late j. +. Cooper
1t so beautifully expresses the sentiments
of all women of pure feelings and correct
principles that it should be widely circula-
ted; I'VE American women certainly owe
a debt of gratitude to our countrymen for
their kindness and consideration of us gen
orally. Gallantry may not always take a
graceful form in this part of the world, and
mere hattcry may be worth as little here
as elsewhere but there is a glow of gen
erous feeling towards women in the hearts
of most American men, that is highly hon
orabe to them as a nation and as individ-
uas. In no country is the protection Civ
en- to woman's he plcssneSs more full and
free-in no country is the assistance she
receives from the stronger arm so general,
and nowhere does her weakness meet with
more forbearance and consideration. Un-
der such circumstances, it must be woman'S
own fault if she be not thoroughly respect
ed also. The position accorded to her is
favorable; it remains for her to fill it in a
manner worthy her SEX gratefully, kindly,
and simply; with truth and modesty of
heart and life; unwavering fidelity of feel
ing and principle; with patience, cheerful
ness and sweetness Of temper--no unfit re-
turn to those who smooth the daily path
for her.

to predict that the sequel will show that
President Picrce's policy was wisely adopt

prosecuted-avoiding with equal care the
opposite extremes of rashness and timidity.

THE Hours Mosr FATAL TO LIFE
We have ascertained the hour Of death in
1850 instances of all ages, and have ar
rived at interesting conclusions We may
remark that the population from which the
data are derived is a mixed population in
every respect, and that the deaths occurred
during period of several years. If the
deaths Of the 1850 persons had occurred
indiiierently at any hour during the "a
years l20 would have occurred at each
hour. But this was by no means the case.
There are two hours in which the proper
ton was below this, two miaima in fact
namely, from midnight to o'clock, when
the deaths are 83 per cent. below the ave-
rage, and from noon to o'clock when they
were 204 per cent. below. From 3 to
O'Clock A. NJ, inclusive, and from 8 to 7
o'clock P. NJ, there is gradual increase, in
the former of 23t per cent above the ave.
rage in the latter of 81 per cent. The
mdrimum of death is from 5 to O'Clock,
A. NJ, when it is 40 per cent. above the ave-
rage; the next during the hour before mid.
night, when it is 35 per cent. in excess a
third hour of excess is that from to 10
o'clock in the morning, being l7k per cent
above. From 10 A. NJ, to P. NJ, the
deaths are less numerous, being l6b per
cent. below the average, the hour before
noon being the most fatal From O'Clock
P NJ, the deaths rise to 81 per cent. above
the average, and then fall from that hour
to II P. NJ, averaging 81 per cent. below
the mean. During the hour from 0 to IL
O'Clock in the evening there is minimum
of 64 per cent. below the average. Thus
the least mortality is during the midday
hours-namely, from 10 to 3 o'clock, the
greatest during early morning hours, from
3 to o'clock. About one-third of the
total deaths were children under five years
of age, and they show the influence Of the
latter still more strikingly. At all hours
from 10 o'clock in the morning until mid
night the deaths are at or below the mean;
the hours from to 5 P. NJ, and from 0 to
10 P. NJ, being mirima but the hour after
midnight being tho lowest mazimum; at oil
hours from 2 to 10 AN the deaths are
above the main, attaining their mdximun
at from 5 to 6 o'clock, A. NJ, when it is
45t per cent above-LOHdon Quar-. Rer

The following incident Of the battle Of
Monmoth, showing the attentiveness Of
General Washington to little things, is re.
ported upon the authority of G. W. P.
Gusts, the well known grandson of Mrs
Washington, and adopted son of the Chief:
When General Washington's horse fell un-
der him, snorting streams of blood in the
hottest part Of the fight, the Chief coolly
stepped from his prostrated charger, and
sprang upon another which, in accordance
with bis usual custom, was led near him,
calling at the same time upon bis old body
servant. BILLY, take charge of that sad
de-" pointing to the one on the fallen
horse. "0ld Billy" remarked, 10 relating
this circumstance to Mr.. Gusts, "Who
eber did see such man as Massa Wash
Washington who would eber hab thought
of the saddle but him? Massa remembers
ebery ting, be neber forget noting"
