THE NORTH AND The SoUTu-1n another
column We give significant article FROM the
Richmond Wing on the subject of the recent
outrage to Mr.. Wheeler and his servants at
Philadephi
1t is no longer sufficiently expressive of the
actual condition Of things in this country to say
there is tendency to the formation Of two great
sectional parties. 1t already movement-a
decided, active movement. The North is being
drilled into plan Of warfare against the institu-
tons of the South. No effort is lost to infict in
jury upon citizens of the South--no means un-
employed to impress upon them the idea
that we will not perform the obligations Of
the constitution II reference to slaves Mas.
sachusetts is in open rebellion; Pennsy lvania,
New York and Ohio, and, indeed, the whole
North, aro rapidly moving to the same point
That the end Of all this, unless checked by
timely action, will be the organization of the two
great sections Of the Union into hostile PARTIES
that it will drive the South to the defence Of its
property and the protection of its citizens--that
it will sink the government into relentless
feud and serviIe war it requires no prophet to
foretel
When the constitution fails to secure the ends
for which it was adopted not all the glorious
memories Of the past not all the material wealth
and prosperity OF the present, not all the prom.
ses of the future. can sustain it as covenant of
the union of the States. If there was no other
reason than that which requires nearly half the
parties to the compact to surrender rights which
are guaranteed BY the mere demand of
the other copartncr would be sufficient to
insure the downfall the government. Not
only the rights secared must be held sacred, but
the opinions Of those entitled to their enforce
ment ought also to be respected.
1t is folly to expect to reap the fruits Of union
without complying with its essential conditions.
Situated as the United States are with reference
to slavery and the condition of public sentiment
touching its tendencies and uses, it is impossible
not to see that an issue precipitatcd upon that
question must end in the most fatal consequences
to both sections. There is no government when
it fails, by the deliberate action ofits parts, to
fulfil its jus. obligations. The substitution Of
mere moral disinfectants for solemn covenants
forfeited--the repeated assertions that a legal
outrage will end in wealth and prosperity to the
supposed injured party will do little to preserve
the government or to satisfy the sufferer. We
commend this subject to thoughtful men in the
North.-N. Y. Herald

LABOR SAVING MAcHINE.-Thc New York
Tribune condemns the proceedings Of the ls.
borers in that city who have undertaken 10 op.
pose and denouuce the use Of street sweeping
machines, aud it shows how the introduction OF
modern machinery has elevated, dignified aud
rewarded labor. We quote:
Take away the machinery Of England, and
the people, now so advancing as to have &C.
cured an unstamped Press, would relapse into
the condition of the Edwards and Henrys.-
On the continent the traveller cannot fail to
observe that in those districts where the. people
are the most besotted, impoverished and down.
trodden, there is the clumsiest machinery for
the ordinary and extraordinary business Of lds.
We have seen at Cologne forty.two uaen, occa.
pied upon pile,driving machine, which did
clumsily the same work that machine tended
by man and boy executes adroitly In this
country. So, too, in the fields, wrstched p'ows
and other farming utensils, which, without 6g.
ure of speech, are about the same as those used
in the time of the Caesars, prevent the peasant
from rising to the dignity Of farmer:
So completely ignorant are the people who
employ these antiques OF any better, and 20
soul.married to their use, that they stoutly re-
fuse new things. We have even known Q csbe

The consequence Of this is, that the peasants
are kept at next to starvation wages, and pov.
erty being close upon slavery, they are used

serfs to be destroyed to swell Imperial glory.
Il The cant about depriving needle and
washer women of their bread by the introdSc.
ton of machine-labor, is equally idle With that
of our street sweeping friends. All trades must
be measured BY the same law, 40 that society
at large may have the benefit"

4 WARSlSa TO THE pEEvIsH.-I witnessed
Il spectacle in the Liverpool Geological Gardens
which shall never forget. In "a large, deep
pit there we're three bears, two very large, the
other quite small. l dropped biscuit for the
little one, which he began TO eat. The large
bears being full oe frolc, took away the broken
pieces of tie biscuit several times with their
paws, and returned them to him. Tho little
one was testy and ferce snapped and snared
and lit at his jocose companions. This the big
bears put Up with for while without resent,
meut. But the little one could not forget the
insult he went on quarreling and snapping.-
In few moments, to my surprise and horror,
the great bears began to growl and being angry,
set upon the poor little thing. bit him complete
ly through the bowels, and laid him dead on
the spot. l looked on and received instruction.
said to myself, if men will not put up with
trifing annoyanccs, but resolve to fret and fune,
and resent them, they must expect from parties
as meddlcsomc as themselves, but with greater
power, formidable injuries, aud it may be ruin.
Let man once acquire character for peeyish'
ness, we may conclude that in social life he will
be avoided; and should he give himself airs
before power and authority in public, he may
then expect to he deposed.

Wnntcd..-An Angel i'm Heaven.

Aud so death closed those little eyes-shroud-
ed their bright glances. Oh, that the sun would
not come streaming in upon his shrouded form
as if there were no grief in the world!
How sweetIy he sleeps, that little coveted an
gel How lightly curl those glossy ringlets on
his white forehead. You could weep your very
soul away, to think those cherub lips will never
never unclose. Vanly you clasp and unclasp
the passive, darling hand, that wandered often
over your cheek. Vainly your anguish glance
tries TO read the dim story Of love in those sha.
ded orbs. The voice sweet as winds blowing
through wrcathed shells slumbers forever. And
still the busy world knocks at your door, and
will let you have no peace. 1t shouts in your
ear; its chariots rumble by; it mocks you as
you sew the shroud it meets YOU at the
church, at the grave; and its heavy footsteps
tramp up and down in the empty rooms, from
whence you have borne your dead. But it
comes never in the husk Of night to wipe away
your tears
Wauted-an Angel Of Heaven! Can YOU
look up? Can you bear the splendor Of the
sight? Ten thousand celestial beings and your
own radiant child in their midst.
SIN his eyes glorious light,
On his head glory crown"
Wanted angels for Heaven! Cling not too
closely to your beautiful treasures, children Of
earth-FAssY FERN, in Olive Branch.

Friendship and MatrimOMy.

We have seen some writers VINO laDOred
hard to prove that love cannot long survive
marriage, except in the form ofan exalted friend
ship. Madame de Stael, Il sentimental and in.
teiIectual woman, congratnlates the pair happy
in her "Corinne" whose first romantic love has
settled into reliable friendship. There is dan.
gerous sopbisitv embodied in this theory. Sam
Slick, whose wit and good sense we always res
pected overthrows the faacy Of the doctrine in
the following piece oflogic:
"The nature of matrimony is one thing, and
the nature of friendship is another. tall man
likes short wife; a great talker likes silent
woman, for both can't talk at once. A gay man
likes domestic gal for he can leave. her at
home to nuss the children and make pap, while
he is enjoying himself to parties. A man that
haint any music in him likes it in his spouse,
and so on. 1t chimes beautiful, for they amt
in each OF hers way. Now, friendship is the
other way; you must like the same things to
like each other and be friends. A similarity of
tastes, studies, pursuits and recreations, (what
they call congenial sous) topper for topper,
smoker for smoker, horse-racer for a horse
racer prize fighter for a prze-fghter, and so
on. Matrimony likes contrasts; friendship seeks
its own counterparts."
Wretched is that home where friendship sup.
plants the warm gushings ofIove, and where es-
teen is the only bond that holds the household
togctler.-Spi'u Of The Age.
Some odd genius gives the following excellent
advice to those young men who "deperd on
father for their support, and take no interest
whatever in business, but are regular drones III
the hive subsisting on that which is earned by
others:
"Come, off with your coat, clinch the saw, the
plow handles, the axe the pick.axe, the spade
anything that will enable YOU to stir your
blood! Fly round aud tear your jacket rather
tlan be the passive recipient Of the old gentle
mans bounty! Sooner than play the dandy at
dads expense hire yoursefout to some potatoe
patch, let yourselves to stop hog holes, or watch
tho bars; and when you think yourself entitled
to resting spell do it on your own hook. Get
up in the norning-turn round at least twice
before breakfast--help the old gentleman-gi'e
him now and then generous lift in business
learn how to take the lead, and not depend for
ever on being led: and you have no idea how
the discipline will benefit you. Do this aud our
word for it, you will seem to breathe new
atmosphere, possess new frame, trea6 new
earth, wake to new destiny-and you may
then begin to aspire to manhood. Take Oft,
then, that ring from your lilly finger, break your
cane, shave your upper lip, wipe your nose, hold
up your head, and, by all means, never again
eat the bread Of idleness nor depend on ta,hcr!'

Long rime rinding IL out.

Mr.. lmboden declared in his speech, at Barter
brook, that the whig party, or the leaders Of the
whig party were corrupt that it become necessa,
ry to dissolve the organization and construct new
party, whose object should be to purify the politics
Of the country, and wrest political power from dem
agogucs. These are not his exact words, but the
substance of them: Singular position. Out Of whai
material Mr.. lmboden is the pure party to be form
ed The material of the whig party is corrupt, ac
cording toyour understanding. and therefore pure
party could not be created out oft The old partie
were made up of the people. If the old parties were
corrupt, the people must be corrupt, because they
were the subetratum Of tho parties-they, Of thenf
selves, made the parties. Where, then, is the ma
teria to come from to build up purep party Tru.
y there must be superabundance of virtue and
purity in party, each member of which has to take
solemn oath to do that which he had intended to
do--thus implying want Of confidence in his own
integrity. -,49
But the 'lcaders'' Of the Wing party were cor
rupt! All, indeed Well, then, Mr.. lmboden,
what great atonement purged you of your political
impurity? What effcacious ointment was applied
to the cleansing of your political corruption? What
purifying liquid washed out your political iniquities,
that you have suddenly been transposed from the
lead Of corrupt party, to the lead of an iinmacu-
late party? You have been long time finding out
thattho whig party corrupt. BY what process did
you arrive at your conclusion? What instincts lead
you "gently on 2" Tho spoils?

0The Foreign Party."

We learn from friend who was present at the
discussion Al Barterbrook between Col. Hartman and
Mr.. Imboden, that the latter declared he would moi
dignity Democrats by calling them the Democracy,
but would call them the "Foreign party or "Wise-
ocracy." Now, if we thought any dignity could be
attached to anything man who would resort to
such shift in politics to make capital, could say,
we might feel badly. But Mr.. Imboden will have
to blubber long time before he can convince any
that he is any better native American than are,
or the great mass Of the Democratic party. "For-
eign party indeed Why the principles Of the
great Democratic party were born in Virginia -
They grew into vigorous maturity under Virginia

you get your ritual, and the damnable appliances,

Gov. Reader.

This gentleman, who has but recently returned an
exile from Kansas territory, seems determined to
make himself ridiculous in the eyes of the country
as possible, and az obnoxious to the sentiment of
the South as circumstances will permit. On his re-
turn to Easton, Pa, he was welcomed publicly and
On the occasion he delivered aspeech, in which he
used the following language: =
The territory Of Kansas had been invaded by
regular organized army, armed to the teeth, who
took possession of the ballot boxes, and made up a
legislature to suit the purposes of the oslavery
party. Kansas was subdued subjugated and con-
quered by armed men from Missouri, but her citizens
resolved never to give up their fight for free
control and interference. Missouri would be called
upon to disavow all sympathy with these border
rulians and if she refused, the South would be
called upon to dscountenance her. If the South
fused, the solemn duty would devolve upon the
North to take up the matter, that the rights OF
her sons, who have settled in Kansas on the faith Of
solemn compacts shall be indicated and sustained.
| Gov. Reeder has much mistaken the sentiment Of
the South if he dreams that either the action of the
Southern people, so far asvoting concerned, will
be repudiated by Missouri, or, in case of refusal
that the South will repudiate Missouri. There il
but one sentiment prevalent in the South, and tina
is fixedness of purpose to maintain Southern right
| in Kansas, at every hazard. Let the North taxi
the matter in hand-let her clustering and bullying
declarations be made. Southern men know thei
rights, and knowing dare maintain them. Kansa
is ours in equity; and we intend to make it spch il
deed. If violent means have been used by South
crn men, let the blame be traced to abolition aid 50
cieties, which accumulated money for the purpose @
sending hireling vagabo.ds to that Territory, t
vote down the property and the rights of the South
We cannot be bulicd and cheated out of our rights
IL II comes 10 the worse, thousands of generous an
brave southern .,ouths will flock to the rescue of on
interests ard il need be, raise their arms in thei
defence. The South has no recantations to make
no step backwards to take. We have fairly game
t.le victory, and intend to keep it, let the const
ouences be what they nav
