1t is as suspected, thought the clerk :,
he has had the first news Of the general fall

They drank two glasses Of wine each IN

not be concealed, while M'Grle's visage rep

a considerable pause the clerk lost his tenn

imperturbable Donald. At length the
would.be purchaser, not at oil liking the
prospect and the shame Of an unsuccessful

After this. the transaction was imm"di-

Donald M'Grie took the accession offortune
coolly and temperately. He reflected that
men make a thousand unlucky mistakes for
one lucky one, and that cargoes of indigo
don't always quadruple themselves in price
when bought by misadventurc. Rejecting
upon all this, he resolved at this, the prop
er season, to retire from business. So he
made over his stock in trade. and his house
to nephew for a consideration, of course
and bought the lands of C-,C-,
which said estate is at this moment worth
FIVE times the money paid for it.
We have made out our case, and that by
means of no fiction. 1t well cxemplifes our
moral "In matters of moment never speak
hastily" In the lives Of the most unfortu-
nate among us, many lucky opportunities
occur. 1t is neither the learned nor the
clever who know the best how to seize them
and turn them to advantage. This faculty
belongs to the prudent Had Donald NJ
Grie spoken first, and spoken the wish OF
his heart, he would have said, >" Pray take
fifty pounds, and release me from my bar
gain" He held his tongue until the proper
time to speak, and thus realized a handsome
fortune for himself and children.

FREEDOM NATIONAL SLAVERY
SECTIONAL.
SPEECH OF HON. JOHN J. PERRY,
OF MAINE,
ON THE COMPARATIVE NATIONALITY
AND SECTIONALlSM OF TIE REPUBLl
CAN AND DEMOCRATIC PARTIES;
DELIVERED
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
NAY /, 1856.
The House being in Committee Of the rholt
on the State Of The Union.
(CoScLUpED.)

The second general proposition I now dc
sire to discuss, is the Seetionahty Of the
democratic party In pursuing this invcs-
tigation intend to speak respectfully, but
plainly. There are many "reminiscences still
lingering about the old democratic party Of
q pleasant character. It was once a great
and powerful party. 1t was the party orig
inally founded by Jefferson; and as we trav-
el from its organization down the stream Of
time, we find in its front ranks some of the
greatest and best men that ever honored and
graced our country. II was once party
proudly standing upon q platform Of nation
al principles, around which the patriotic OF
every section, North and South, could con-
sistently rally. But show have the mighty
fallen" and the I" fine gold become dim! :"
Where stands the so-called democratic party
Of the presen, day? Has it not changed
fronts; abandoned its old landmarks de-
MED the faith, and gone over to sectional
ism'' These questions now propose to dis
cuss.
Slavery can in no just sense be termed a
national institution. We have already
shown that the founders of the republic did
not so consider it. Both the Constitution
and the early legislation Of the country clear
ly indicate the fact, that Washington, and
jefferson, and Madison, and their cotempo-
raries, looked forward to the ultimate ex.
tinctiOn of this evil at an early day. The
trainers Of the Constitution left slavery where
they found it-with the states-a municipal
regulation, subject entirely to their jurisdic.
ton and control. Being left to the States,
it became of necessity sectional. Beyond
the jurisdiction Of the States where 1t exists
it has no legal protection. Again, slavery
is an unnatural right, and can only exist by
virtue ofthe local laws Of the States.
This question has been 30 decided by OH,
judicial courts, North and South, over ant
over again. But in order to put this mat
ter beyond all doubt, I will cite two or thrc
authorities from the decisions Of courts il
slave States.
In the case of the State Of Mississippi vs.
Isaac Somes, the Court decided that
"The right Of the master exists not b,
force Of the law Of nature, or Of nations, bu
BY virtue only Of the poaiire lers Of "a
&ats."-twslker's Reports, SO.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.


MONDAY, July 2S-6 p. NJ
We have no improvement to report in the stock
market but on the contrary further decline in
prices. At the first board New York Central Rail-
road fell of 1 per cent; Michigan Central, !; Pana-
ma, 1; Cleveland and Toledo, 4; La Crosse and
Milwaukee, 1; Canton Company, ]. Nicaragua
Transit advanced per cent and Illinois Central
Railroad J. There was not so much activity as at
the close Of last week. but there is more stock press
ing for sale, and not so many buyers. Sellers are
putting out time contracts freely. There has been
no material change in the money market. The
banks continue to call in demand loans, but private
bankers furnish all the supplies required. There
b no inquiry for money which has not been
freely met, and no apprehensons entertained of
an immediate stringency, even under an activ
shipment Of specie. The Cunard steamer from Bos.
ton this week will not take out very large amour
OF specie and there win be no heavy shipment from
this port until the Persia sails, which will be on
Wednesday next week. She viii take out, without
doubt, the largest shipment Of the season. The de
preston in railroad stocks has not touched, and
probably will not reach railroad bonds. There ar
none on the market pressing for sale, and price
are well sustained. The sales to-day were con-
fined to Illinois Centrals and Erie third mortgage.
After the adjournment Of the board, the following
sales Of bonds and stocks were made at auction by
