"BACKBONE. .

This phrase, and that of dough face" are
the chief arguments now used by the free
soil papers and speakers against theperform'
ance by Northern men of their constitution
nj duties to the South. Every man who is in
favor of adhering, in good faith, to the ma
tional compact, is pronounced dough
face" and entirely destitute of backbone -
Judging from the ecstacies into which
these journals are thrown, whenever Nor
thern man exhibits what they cal backbone,
one would suppose that the people OF the
North are generally born withoa that use
full appendage to the human system A back
bone is no doub bit good thing in its place
We are happy to hear that the number of
men with backb bones is Increasing. TIE
North will need all the spinal power it can
get to carry the load which abolitionism is
