The election Of Judge Conrad is claimed as
an Anti-Nebraska victory.
What is that cictory, as proclaimed by Judge
Conrad himself? Hear It'll
"There are some eight hundred Offices in
my gift, not one Of which shall be given to q
foreigner"
That is the great Anti-Nebraska victory
claimed by that pink Of candor, the North
american, and reiterated all over the north.
1t is copied and endorsed by the Tribune,
Times, Eccning Post, Of New York, Boston
Atlds and all other abolition prints.
We call attention to the fact, that the great
Anti Nebraska victory as proclaimed by its vic
torious champion Judge Conrad, mayor elect
Of Philadelphia, and endorsed by all the aboli-
tion papers is
A total, ruthless prescription Of every man
not born in this country"
Let every democratic paper in the Union
give the widest circulation to this platform OF
the anti-N Nebraskaites.

,cenes of ri0t and the triumph Of mob Law in

scenes of riot and the triumph of mob law in
some Of the northern cities. From these the
south are free and we have no doubt, that il
the question were asked, ,sas it was once asked
of the church by the apostle, From whence
come wars and fighting among you" the an
swer would be that they came from an absence
Of the conservative influence which slavery
wields over q republican government The
necessity which exists of pandering to the de-
praved taste Of the uneducated mob, must have
its effect even upon the patriotic statesman of
the north.
sRadicalsm is the result of high state of
civilization upon weak and narrow mind, and
where from the daily immigration of a tide Of
bread seeking foreigners, and the dense popula-
ton Of our commercial cities, the weak and the
narrow prevail over wisdom and conservatism,
the result is inevitable. Suchwe belieyeto bethe
natural tendency ofthe masses when unchecked
by the wholesome influence Of African slavery,
and we have little hesitation in asserting that
this element in our institutions has often been,
and may yet be, the only safeguard to the sue
cess of the great experiment Of free govern
ment.
"But," says the State Of Maine, he 1.-THE
slave) seems very happy in the southern States,
as the advocates Of slavery say; but, whenever
he has an opportunity, he makes haste to es-
cape from those blessings"
To this malicious taunt, we reply: First,
that if the slave be impatient of his condition
at the south, it is due, not to the rigor Of the
southern master, but to the oficious intermed-
ding of northern abolitionists. Second: that
if southern slaves do snake haste to escape
from the blessings Of home," they are allured
by the juggling fends of abolition who keep
the word of promise to the ear, and break it to
the hope; and, Third, that if the argument
holds good at all, it proves the inferior happi-
ness of the northern freeman, who is too often
happy to escape from the riotous society Of
freesoil to the more genial and quiet retreat Of
southern life.
We leave the subject here, and end as we
began, by the declaration that the true idea Of
happiness may be sacrificed by the mere breath
of freedom, and that words govern mankind." ;"

.woRDs GOVERN MANKIND,

Were Faust living at the present day
among the scenes and circumstances that sur
round us, he would not find it so difficult to
reconcile "the word with "the power" The
maxim which we have adopted as the caption
Of our article, was once quoted, approvingly,
by Allison, the greatest Of tories, from Napo-
leon the greatest of conquerors; and if such
be the sentiment of men living under the mar
row and constrained influence Of monarchy,
how much moro strongly may we endorse that
sentiment in our own country. From the time
when the mask was torn from the hydra Of
liberty, equality, and fraternity, in the French
revolution, we might have had reason to hope
that statesmen would look more to the great
practical idea than to the array of words in
which it might be robed. But these hopes
have all proved to be Elusive, and we must &C.
knowledge, with pain, that even in the freest
government of the world, there exists gross
misapprehension of the true principles of free
dom.
We have been led to make these reflections,
trite as they may appear, from the unceasing
attack yet made upon the south in regard to
an institution which has protected her in a pre-.
eminent degree from oil the host Of absurdities
sprung from the prolific womb Of that coarse
old beldam " Ism = and particularly from de-
liberate attack made in the 9,Ssate of Name
newspaper of the l4th instant, upon the policy
of the south in regard to the extension OF
slavery. The only view that it is necessary to
take in relation to the subject is, that the re.
cognition of the institution in our supreme law
should shield it from the attacks even of its
enemies, and that the right Of the States to an
equal participation in the acquisition of new
territory, is recognition of the principle Of its
extension.
We are frequently called upon 10 deplore the

The company then proceeded to Faneuil

proved system of military tactics, the officers

IL Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
the public is attracting great attention, not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by it, but also because
there are so great a number Of people who are af
ficted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his srem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing
with large practice. He is a physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for avery common disease, which
has been so long needed, has attracted the attention
OF all sufferers from headache who have heard Of it.
From our own knowledge of Dr. Eastman's char
acter and practice we have no doubt that the med
icine deserves the favor il receives, and that will
prove to be a great benefit to all who may give it
a trial.-Lyqn Nescs, December %, 1858.
