THE SPREAD or CORRECT
SENTIMENTS.

The manly and conservative scnli-
mcnts ofJudge kane's opinion in the
Passmore Williamson case, have Civ.
en- great satisfaction throughout the
South and shed a broad CLEAN Of
hope on the hearts of all patriots
This feeling Of qualification will be-
greatly enhanced by lhe following
bold action taken by citizens ofIowa,
n young and vigorous State, and
thoroughly Democratic, notwithstand-
ing her ALTERATION from the right line
last fall. As the New York UgV
Booh Gays, "this is novel stand for
people il the Northern States to take.
but it is the right one and the one
that is bound to go--depend upon
that"
A meeting Of the citizens ofSidncy
Iowa, was held on the 18th ult.. "a
express their views on the question
of slavery They preamblsd litera-
tim ct verbatim that they believe the
negro to be both physically and intel,
Iectualy inferior TO the Anglo Saxon
not susceptible of the came degree
of cultivation and improvement, and
consequently incapable of occupying
the same position in the scale ofbeing
which factssupcradied to the differ
ence ofcolor between the races clear
iy indicate the relative and true posi-
ton of the two races, when existing
together, should be that of master
and slave" After which they rcsoI-
we'd, amongst other things,
That Slavery being necessary to
the South, under circumstances, and.
guaranteed by the compact under
which we live, we deem agitation of
the question ofits abolition, as useless
and hurtful to the best interests of our
common country.

A GOOD ONE.

A very good widow lady who was
looked up to by the congregation to
which she belonged as an example OF
piety, contrived to bring her CON
science to terms for one little indul-
gence. She loved porter, and one
day, just as she received half dozen
bottles from the man who usually
brought her the comforting beverage,
she %, horrorD saw two of the grave
elders ofthe church approaching her
door. She ran the man out of the
back way, and put the bottles under
the bed. The weather was hot, and
while conversing with her sage
friends, pop went one of tho corks.
Dear mer' exclaimed the good
lady, "there goes the bed cord; it
snapped yesterday just the same way;
l must have a new rope provided"
In few moments, pop went anoth-
er, followed by the peculiar hiss of
escaping liquor. The rope wouldn't
do again, but the good lady was not
at a loss.
"Dear mer' says she, "that black
cat of mine must be at some Of her
there. S'catr'
Another bottle popped of, and the
porter came stealing out from under
the bed curtains.

AN AMERICAN RAT DOG

Last summer, Bob L. crossed the
Atlantic to spend little time and a
good deal ofInoney in looking at the
women and wonders Of the old world
Among the wonders which he took
along, '"just for the fun of the thing"
was a smallsized swapping turtle
Having q week leisure at London.
Bob packed up his traps and went
over to Ireland. The frs, night he
passed ION the sod" was at little
roadside inn, about fifteen miles from
Dublin. Having partaken Of sup
per of bacon and eggs, Bob walked
into the bar, and placed the turtle on
the floor, The first person to notice
the "critter' was Mr.. Flynn, who
kept the house.
And what do you call that?'
That ID an American rat dog
"a WHAT"
"An American rat dog"
"Musha, 60 long-and do you call
such spalpaen dog?"
Il do, indeed, and he is worthy of
his name
"Will he fght?"
"Yes, sir, not only fight but will
whip any eight pound dog in Ire
land"
" Will you hold me ten shillings on
that?"
81 will"
Enough" said Flynn. Barney,
get the brindle pup we bought of
Sheridan yesterday, and let him out"
Barney did as desired The brin-
die pup purchased of Sheridan was
brought in. The brindle pup took a
look at his American relation, and
then made plunge. She caught the
brindle pup by the nose.
The brindle pup gave one yell and
put for the door. When last seen he
was rushing toward Dublin as if he
had eight tinscullenders tied to his
tail. Whether Flynn gave up the
money without getting a shillaleh to
act as umpire will be known when
the next steamer arrives.
