AMALGAmA ON-MAssACHUsETT
AND THE SOCIAL EQUALITY OF
WHITES AND BLACKS.


The New York Herald thus remarks in its
issue of the 9Th instant: There appears to be
some prospect OF passage, by the new Ameri-
can party of the Massachusetts Legislature, of
law providing for the admission into the
common schools of children of the African
race, on footing of equality with the descend
ants of the original Puritans. This may do
for Massachusetts,, perhaps; but it strikes US
that It is poor expedient of aid and comfort
to the new American party in Virginia. Ifthe
know-nothings of the North choose to admit
white, black, and yellow, children upon the
common level of equality into their public
schools, the Know.nothings of the South must
secede from them, or be disbanded. No party
IN the South can cooperate with any party in
the North which attempts to enforce, socially
or politically, this ultra-abotion doctrine of
amalgamation. OF late we have been puzzled
to guess, and should like to know, what are the
national principles of this new American party
in Massachusetts? They hold the Legislature
with scarcely an opposing voice against them
in either house. What is the meaning of this
new bill, consulting it in reference to the cam
paign of 1856? Is it sectional or a national
movement? measure Of peace or agitation?
conservative or abolition? We should like to
know.

"WHOM THE GODS MEAN TO DEs-
TROY THEY FIRST MAKE MAD

II Spain designed systematically to pursue
the course best calculated to deprive her Of
Cuba and to place that island in our possession,
she could not do more to that end than she is
now doing Spanish arrogance has grown into
proverb, and that proverb has received new
vitality from thessconduct of Spain towards US.
We have for long time heard Of her aggres-
sions on our commerce, her insults to our flag,
and her maltreatment of American citizens;
but latterly, presuming, we suppose, on our ill
judged leniency, which was no doubt the re-
suit of contempt, she, or which is the same
thing, her authorized officials, has heaped new
insults and wrongs upon old and unredressed
insults and wrongs. She seems to be endeavor.
ing to pile Pelion on Ossa.
Again: the conduct Of her officials in Cuba
towards the people,, their jealous espionage,
their suspicion and dstrust, have tended to
stimulate disaffection and to exasperate the
feelings of the best inhabitants on the island.
Superadded to these things, the recent execu.
tons OF brave and honest patriots on that
island, will inevitably tend to inaame resent
ment, excite hatred, and stir revolution. Spain
ought to have learned before this that "the
blood OF the martyrs is the seed of the church,
This lesson seems not to be impressed upon her
She is not only pursuing, and Systematically
pursuing, course that must infallibly bring on
war between herself and this country, blu,
she is at the same time pursuing course to
wards Cuba that will so incense the people
there as to make them welcome and join the
first well equipped expedition that shall sail fol
that destination. The hand of destiny is il
this thing.

Potioho,nanie, or Glass ornamsnting.

About forty years ago, ii was the fashion for
ladies to amuse themselves, "and pass their
time away" in cutting out flowers, birds, and
insects, from old pieces Of chinz; by the exer-
else Of little Ingenuity, they fastened them
into the nterior6f bottles; finally the bottles
we're filed, either with chalk, salt, or any white
material TO form ground work to the fancful
picture produced. Such bottles, the handiwork
of grandmamma when she was girl, are still
to be seen here and there on the half mantle.
shelf
This art--ifart it can be caled--has recent
ly been revived and slightly improved, under
the title of Potichomanie." At the stores
where fancy goods are sold, will now be found
all the materials required--vases in transpa-
rent glass of classic forms, Etruscan and Pom
peiaD, curious designs, Chinese figures, flowers,
reptiles, &c., printed in colors upon paper,
gum, varnish, brushes, &c. AS of old, the de-
signs are cut of the paper, vanished at the
back and then gummed into the interior of the
glass vessels.
Instead of using bottles, vases expressly
made for ornamentation are now manufactured;
hence the results, when complete are forms
worthy Of the works. The designs, too, are
very superior to the old chintz patterns, being
now printed upon paper, with all the improve
ments of design and brilliancy of chromo-lith-
ography; the effects are more pleasing especi
ally as gliding is introduced into many Of the
pictures. After the pictures or designs are all
fastened into the vase, ground color is ap-
piled, the shade Of which should harmonic
with the subjects.
The ground color being poured into vase
rotary motion is given to the potiche, for the
purpose of dffusing it equally over every part.
The ground color is prepared with flake white
and varnish, thinned with turpentine, tinted
either with chrome, ultramaine, Brunswick
green, Prussian blue, or carmine with chrome,
&C.
After the ground color is perfectly dry, the
vases or potichine should be lined with coat
ing of Plaster of Paris made with wac. !.
as cream. Being poured into the vas, it is
run round in the same way as the ground 20 or,
by turning the vase until the plaster is set,
which takes place in a few minutes, this gives
weight or solidity to the vessel @
If the vase is required to hold water for cut
flowers, the plaster lined must be saturated
with good drying linseed OIL Taking oil things
into consideration, Potichomanie is as likely to
improve the taste of those who pursue it, as
crotchet, leather.modelling, and such like
amusements. &eptimus Piessc.

WASHINGTON. The following euloey was
written in England, on the back of a Portrait
of Washington, and sent to the Washington
Family:
Washington, Father Of his Countryside
Founder of Liberty--the Friend Of man. His
tory and tradition are explored in vain for
parallel to his character. In the annals of
modern greatness he stands alone; and the no
blest names Of antiquity lose their lustre in his
presence. Born the Benefactor Of Mankind,
he added all the graces necessary to an illus.
trious career. Nature made him great-he
made himself virtuous. Called by his country
to the defence Of her liberties, he triumphantly
vndicated the rights Of humanity, and, on the
pillars of National Independence, laid the foun.
dation of great Republic Twice invested
with Supreme Magistracy,r by the unanimous
voice OF free people, he surpassed in the ca,
binet the glories Of the Field; and voluntarily
resigning the sceptre and the sword, retired 10
the walks Of "private lifen--was contemplated
with the most profound admiration; and the
name OF Washington, adding fresh lustre to
humanity, resounded to the remotest regions Of
the earth. Magnanimous in Youth--Glorions
through Life--Great in Death.
His highest ambition the happiness Of man
kind--his noblest victory the conquest of him
self. Bequeathing 10 posterity the inhcri.
lance OF fame, and building bis monument in
the hearts Of his countrymen, he lived tho orna-
ment of the eighteenth century--he died re-
GREETED by mourning world.

Dem ocrney.

The following eloquent and deserved tribute
to the Democratic party, we clip from a late
number of the Ohio Statesman:
"The Democratic party cannot diets men
may be defeated for thousand causes that oc-
cur in the political elements Of the country--its
principles may be condemned-its very exist
ence may be considered in jeopardy-but die it
cannot while there is people to think, to
speak, to write. Every element in our poti.
cal organization may change-consttutio
may crumble-revoution may follow revolu-
tion-party names may rise one day to be
buried the next--but the great principle of
selfpreservation opposed to bad principles, bad
government, and bad men, will endure, whether
in power or out Of power in triumphs or in de-
feats, in prosperity or in adversely. Was there
any die in the great principles around which
Democrats rally as a party basis, its extinction
would long since have taken place for good
and kings and crowns would be at ease forever
from so dangerous an element"

serpent. in a Pile In south America.

In the savannahs of Izacubo, in Guiana,
saw the most wonderful, most terrible specta-
Gle that can be imagined; and, although it be
not uncommon TO the inhabitants, no traveller
has ever mentioned it. We were ten men on
horseback, two OF whom took the lead, in order
to sound the passages, while preferred to skirt
the great forests. One of the blacks who
formed the vanguard returned at full gallop,
and called TO me, Here, sir, come and see the
serpents in a pile" He pointed out to me
something elevated in the middle of the savan-
nah or swamps, which appeared like bundle
Of arms. One of my company then said
"This is certainly one of the assemblages of
serpents, which heap themselves on each other
after a violent tempest. / have heard of these,
bat have never seen any; let us proceed eau
tiously, and not go too near" When we we're
within twenty PAGES of it. the terror of our
horses prevented our nearer approach, to which
none OF us we're inclined.
On sudden, the pyramid mass became agi-
tated; horrible hissings issued from it; thou
sands Of serpents rolled spirally on each other
shot forth ont of their circle their hideous
heads, presenting their envenomed darts and
firery eyes to us. / own was one Of the first
to draw back, but when / saw that this formid-
able phalaux remained at its post, and appear
ed more disposed to defend itself, than to attack
us, / rode around il ip order to view its order
of battle, which faced the enemy on every side
/ then thought what could be the design Of this
numerous assemblage; and / concluded that
these species of serpents dreaded some colos-
cean enemy, which might be the great serpent
or cayman, and that they re united themselves
after having seen the enemy in order to resist
this enemy in a mass.--HumJolh
