The New Abolition League
IN NEW YORK

The unholy alliance is completed The
Abolitionism of the most numerous wing of
the New York Democracy has been perfect
ed. Even Van Buren, has been laid upon
the shelf. The hearts that once profesSed
to throb with admiration for Thomas Jeffer-
son. now respond only to the magic touch of
the arch agitator VIM. Ii. Seward and
ulira-abolition higher-iaw has been substitu-
ted for the Constitution in the creed of the
New York Democracy.
The recent fusion convention at Syracuse
has verified our assertions that the once
great Democratic party has lost every claim
to nationality and become completely sec
tionalized
The ticket adopted by this Convention
is composed of three Wings and siE Demo-

Secretary Of State-Preston King. De-
mocrat.

The n Y Times is overjoyed at the con-
summation of this bargain and sale to the
Seward faction. 1t says:
1T would seem to be the most natural
thing in the world that men who think alike
should act alike-that men holding the
same opinions on matter Of engrossing in
terest and paramount Importance should join
together in the effort to give them weight in
the public councils This is precisely what
has now been done The great mass of the
Wing party, and very large portion of the
Democratic party regard the steady ag2res-
sion of slavery upon the rights of the free
/ States-its unlaltering. resolute. and auda-
cious march toward complete aseendancy
over the national councils-as infinitely the
most important fact in the current history OF
the country, and as demanding the earnest
and united efforts of all, who perceive and
appreciate the peril, in resistance to Its ad-
vances- They see. moreover, that all the
issues that have hitherto divided them. are
either permanently settled or held for the
time in allegiance. They see, therefore, not
only no reason why they should not unite
their forces in this movement, but very ma,
ny reasons why any other course would be
folly and fatal madness. And none, we
presume. but those who oppose the princi
pies which unite them, will question the
policy of the union ITSELF
This is an artful movement on the part Of
the anti-slavery party of New York, but it:
success is not yet established and We believe

A Touching Story.

The Hon. a, II. Stephens, of Georgia, in
a recent address at meeting in Alexandria
for the benefit of the Orphan Asylum and
Free School of that city, related the follow
ing anecdote
"A poor little boy, on cold night, with
no home or roof to shelter his head, no pa
tcrnal or maternal guardian guide to pro-
tect or direct him on his way, reached at
nightfall the house OF rich planter, who
took him in. fed, lodged, and sent him on
his way with blessing Those kind at
tentions cheered his heart, and inspired
him with fresh courage to battle with the OBJ
stacles OF life Years rolled round Provi-
dence led him on, and he had reached the
legal profession his host had died the
cormorants that pray on the substance of
man, had formed a conspiracy to get fr ON
the widow her estate. She sent for the
nearest counsel to commit her cause to him
and that counsel proved to be the orphan
boy, years before welcomed and entertained
by the deceased husband. The stimulus of
warm and tenacious gratitude was now
added to the ordinary motive connected with
the profession. He undertook her cause
with will not easily to- be resisted he
gained it; the widows estates were secured
to her in perpetuity;;" ;" and Mr. Stephens ad-
ded. with an emphasis of emotion that sent
an electric thrill throughout the house
that orphan boy stands before you '''

BaGcn-Baden, which has been so long
one of the temples of folly, would seem-if
the chronicles Of the place which the news
papers supply may be irlsted-to have ta-
ken tone and temper at once moral and
practical. The code of the gaming table
itself. Two strangers an Englisman and a
Prussian, quarrelled, according TO a very
common incident over their play, and agreed
in the usual course to fire at one another,
rs the recognized means of settling dis
puie The Englishman was so lucky as to
win the first shot, and so unlucky as 10 miss
his adversary the latter lad only now to
shoot his man at his ease, and prepared to
take his aim accordingly. when the English
man cried out. stop, stop, I'll buy your
shot The first impression made was that
Of the novelty of the proposal-the second,
that it contained the prelminaries Of mu-
tually profitable transaction. The condi-
tions of the arrangement were accordingly
entered upon, and the two leading elements
were that the Englishman was rich, and the
Prussian good shot. The redemption was
valued at $1,000. and the parties returned
to the city, alike satisfied at the bargain
The case was worth reporting. and we are
glad it was the Englishman who set the first
example of this clear insight into the ration
ale of duelling.

THE WORTH OF WOMAN.
FROM THE GERMAN OF SCHILLER.


Honored be womanI she beams on the sight.
Graceful and fair, Ii Ike being OF light
Scatters around her wherever she strays
Hoses OF bliss on our thon-covered ways;
hoses OF Paradise. sent from above
To be gathered and twiued in a garland OF Love
Man, on passions stormy ocean,
Tossed by surges mountain high
Courts the hurricanes ccmmotion
Spurns at reasons feeble CIV
Loud the tempest roars around him,
Stuns with Iife-s incessant din
Woman invites him with bliss in her smile.
10 cease from his tell and be happy while;
Whispering wooinsly-come to my bower
Go not in search of the phantom OF power
Honor and wealth are ilusory-comeI
Happiness dwells in the temples OF home.
Man, with fury stern and savage,
Persecutes his brother man.
Reckless If he bless or ra.dge
Action. acton-still his plan,
Now creating. now destroying.
Ceaseless wishes tear his breast
Ever see&ing-ne'er 'er enjoying;
Still to be, but never blest
Woman, contented in silence repose.
Enjoys in It's beauty life flower as it blows.
And waters and tends it with innocent heart
Far richer than man with his treasures OF art:
And wiser by far in the circles confined,
nan ne Win MS silence anu lSntS OIL the mind.
Colby to himself suficing,
Man disclaims the gentle arts
knoweth not the bliss arising
From the interchange of hearts
Slowly through his bosom stealing,
Flows the genial current on,
Till by ages frost congealing,
1t is hardened into stone
She, like the harp that instinctively rings,
As the night zephyr SOFT signs on the
strings.
Responds to each impulse with steady reply.
Whether sorrow or pleasure her sympathy try.
And tear drops and smiles on her couItenance play
Like sunshine and showers of a morning in May
Through the range OF mans dominion,
Terror is the ruling word
And the standard OF opinion
Is the temper of the sword
Strife exults, and pity blushirg,
From the scene departing flies,
Where the battle madIy rushing,
Brother upon brother dies
Woman commands with a milder control
She rules by enchantment the realms OF the soul
As she glances around in the light of her smile
The war of the passions is hushed Tor hiie,
And discOrd content from his Jury to cease.

\ FACT FOR AMERICAN MEcHANIcs-
The Philadelphia Sun says: ''In the year
1854, alone, more than sixty thousand me-
chanics, from the cheap labor governments
of Europe arrived on cur shores They
are nov found with the numerous recruits
who have since arrived, filling our iron

lean mechanics, with families to support and
educate. are to be elboved OUT because the
intruders viii work for less pay. Who has
not seen and felt the effect of this sort of
emigration upon the American mechanics
and labor? Are we to be told that we have
10 right to protect ourselves against such
competition as this--a competition SO destruc-
tive to our dearest interests as natives of
the soil? We need refer to but single
instance in this city, where foreign mechan-
les are preferred rather than those of cur
own blood. Yet our hard fsied working
men pay visit to the Navy Yard and pre-
pare themselves for the coming election, by
witnessing the relative estimate placed upon
them and these interlopcrs by the general
government itself.
