SLAVE Property IN THE U. STATES.
According to the United States cen.
sus for 1850, there were then in the
slave States 3,l95, 95l slaves. Taking
5000 as the average, allowing the ma
terial increase since 1850, the total
value of slaves in the Uni1ed States
at this time is estimated at two thou
sand millions of dollars, the annual
interest of which, at 6 per cent, would
amount to one hundred and twenty
millions. The estimated value Of the
slaves emancipated in the British West
Indies was only fifty millions, not halt
the amount of the annual interest OF
the slave property of the United
States. Yet it is estimated by an
able writer in Blackwood's Magazine,
that the loss of property in houses,
land, machinery and implements Of
various kinds, which were rendered
Yalucless by emancipation. was ~ ..,,,s
than four times ;inr amount of the
whole value Of the slaves. Calculate,
then, the enormous. financial ruin that
would follow the triumph Of Adolf
tionsm in the United States.
Is it wonderful that the South should
be sensitive in view Of the fact that a
formidable party. strong enough to
elect a Speaker Of the House Of Rep
resentatives, and a President Of the
United States, (if the election should
be thrown. as is not improbable, upon
the House, exists in the non-slave-
holding States, whose avowed object
is TO abolish slavery, to rob six mil
lions of Southerners of two thousand
millions of property, and of the meal
culable amount of property that would
be rendered valueless by emancipa-
ton, to say nothing of all the horrors
Of civil and servile war, which neces-
sariIy accompany this attempt to &C
complish the stupendous and unparal-
leled wrong.

planting them in corn and some in

augmented. In West Baton Rouge,
we learn they are going largely into
the latter business--also on Bayou
Marangouin, where not a particle Of
sugar will be raised.

Mr.. Fillmore and his Nomination.

The nomination of Mr.. Fillmore by
the American party has at length

pondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
writing from that Metropolis under
date of the goth ult., says:

all over Europe, and at this distance

YOUTH.

What feeling Of regret steals over
the heart as the joyous days of youth
fit, as heaven-lit dreams, across our i'm
agination-to think they are lost forever.
When the rare opportunity offers itself Of
snatching a few moments for contem-
plation from the tolls of the busy world,
how readily do we embrace it, brief tho
it be, to indulge in the pleasing remem-
brance of the past to compare it with
the present, and trust for realization
Of things long sighed for in the future.
What a glorious thing is youth full of
warm confidence, high hopes, generous
feelings flowing from the heart Ike a
gush Of music from an angels harp. How
keen are its enjoyments; how novel its
sensations; how exquisite its appreciation
Of the true and beautiful! What music
Is there to compare with the outpour-
Iings Of youthful and generous heart?
What height is there for youthful heart,
prompted by noble ambition, impossi-
bic to climb? But the transient dream
I Of youth soon fades away; and alas, how
soon old age comes creeping on, 50 i'm
perceptibly that we start and sigh for days
now lost. With time we begin to analyse
| our sensations, examine the petals Of the
flower Of our youth and let the odor es-
cape, until one by one the leaves fade and
fall, and the withered stem alone is left
in the gazer's hand.

FARMERS.

Adam was a farmer while yet in Par
adise, and after his fall, commanded to
earn his bread by tie sweat of his brow.
Job, tie honest, upright and patient,
was farmer, and his patience has pass
ed into proverb.
Socrates was a farmer, and yet welded
to his calling the glory Of his immortal
philosophy.
St. Luke was a farmer, and divides
with Prometheus the honor of subjecting
the OK for the use of man.
Cincinnatus was a farmer, and the no
blest Roman Of them all.
Burns was a farmer, and the Muse
found him at the plough, and filed his
soul with poetry.
Washington was farmer, and retired
from the highest earthly station to enjoy
the quiet of rural life, and present to the
world spectacle Of human greatness.
To these names may be added a host
Of others who sought peace and repose
in the cultivation Of their mother earth.
The enthusiastic Lafayette-the stead

the fiery Randolph, all found an Eldora-

THEORY OF DISEASE.
AND IT'S SIMPLE METHOD OF CURE

1t is not object, at this time, to go into de-
tailed explanation of Professor Holoway's theory of
disease but simply to inform the American people
that of the most remarkable men of this any
former age is among them, and that his medicines
have celebrity unprecedented in the annals of the
world. There is no charatanry in his pretensions.
Unless all the civilized world are deceived She Hol-
loway's Pills and Ointment will drive disease from
the human system, under the most unfavorable cir
cumstances, and in all cmes. Other men have
sprang into an ephemeral notoriety by advertising
their remedies Like butterflies of the day they have
buzzed for while and then expired; both their
names and their medicines have sunk into an obscu-
rity from which they never emerged. Others have
met with limited success, perhaps much as they
deserved. No man, thought he may have the
wealth of CrDsus, can long deceive an intelligent
people with worthless remedy for disease. II health
follows the administration of remedy for disease,
almost without exceptions though it is prescribed
in million OF instances and in all forms of disease,
all the doctors the globe could not make the pee
pie believe that it was not good remedy, or that
the inventor was not public benefactor, and en-
piric charlatan. Professor Holloways remedies oc-
cupy this position before the citizens of the world.
The inventor is a man of enlarged powers of mind,
who has seen disease in all its FORMS and in all the
climates of the world. His medical office in London
was daily thronged with patients to such an extent
that police force was necessary to be stationed at
his door But an Office practice afforded too narrow
field for the exercise OF his expansive intellect, aud
he determined to be the worlds ply sician All coun
tries have had their celebrated physicians; England
has had an Abernethy, France Mageudie, and
tended to practice confined to narrow circle Of
friends and admirers, or the superntendency of q
medical hospital. Professor Holloway has chosen
the globe as theatre for his practice, and though
now resident of Republican America he is prescr
bing daily for hundreds Of thousands ON the foul
quarters of the GLOBE
His medicines are expressly designed to act on tn
organs whose functions are SO essential to health
They operate ON the stomach. liver kidneys, lungs
and skin restore their deranged function; or uses
