the usual share of abuse melted out to him by the
Fusion Democratic party, and we would ex-
claim with Scotland's Bard, in his address to

"Hear me, auld Hangie, for wee,

I'm sure sma' pleasure it can gle,

Mr.. Donaldson has been the conductor Of the
Washington Union, the confidential friend and
secretary of General Jackson, and the faithful
exponent Of the Democracy of the Old Hickory
stamp; but now, believing that the exigencies
Of the case require it, he, like the old hero snd
statesman whose name he bears, is found bat

The actions Of President Pierce, as
exhibited ut some of his receptions in
Washington City, show mole of the
narrow-minded village politician than
the true dignity of the chief magistra;e
of great nation. The following, which
we clip from an exchange, shows the
President in very unenviabfe light as
regards the common courtesies of social
LIFE: -
WAsHINdToN MAxSERs.-The President and
Representative Rust are damaging the Democrat
ic party, aud doing injustice to themselves, by
setting the nation bad example Of ill-breeding.
At a recent meeting of Senator Hale and General
Pierce, ut the latter's public levee the President
greeted Mr.. Hale's ladies, but turned his back
upon the former in q marked manner. When
Senator Hale abused the President in the Senate,
no one answered or noticed him! This was
digni6ed and manly rebuke. But General Pierce,
in his own house, knows no enemies. If Senator
Hale was mean enough to partake of the hospital
ity Of the man whom he affected to despise let him
do So and the President could afford to be polite
even to an enemy. For the latter did not stand
on the ordinary footing Of host-he, by force OF
established usage, eutertains everybody, friend or

A New Slave Trade.

A letter from Callao, Peru, says: The on
ly business transacted at present is the selling
Of Chinese slaves, landing from American and
English ships. Language is inadequate to ex-
press the horrible condition Of these miserable
wretches. Stolen from their homes and falni-
lies, struggled on shpboard without their con
sent, on the passage treated like brutes, they
are brought to this coast and sold to men who
have no mercy, for nominal term Of eight
years, although in many instances no term OF
seryide is men, Toned. An American ship sail
ed from China, with six hundred and FIVE Chi
nese, and landed four hundred and four, leaving
two hundred and one, who either died, or drown
ed themselves on the passage. The average
price realized for this cargo of human flesh was
$3.50 per head The horrors of the African
slave trade, in the palmest days, were nothing
to be compared to this; for in other countries
there are laws for the protection of the slaves,
but here the master is clothed with absolute au.
thority, and can govern his slaves as he sees fit

The proportion of foreign crime to native in
the States of Kentucky, Tennessee, South
Carolina and Alabama, is far greater than any
of the Northern States, and in Georgia and.
Mississippi it is equal to any of the Northern
States.
In Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi
pi, Alabama and South Carolina, the aggregate
foreign population in 1850 was $4,000, and
the aggregate proportion of crime was one
hundred and ten foreign to seven native. The
proportion of foreign to native crime in these
six Southern States, is greater than in all the
Northern States combined, and yet Southern
Sag NIGHT presses tell us that the South should
have no fear from immigration. The number
Of residents in these six Southern States who
are natives Of the Northern or free States, far
exceeds the number of foreigners, and yet the
Southern Sag NIGHT presses and orators tell us
more danger is to be apprehended from this lat
ter class Of people than from foreigners, and
this too, in the face of the fact that the pro-
portion of crime is one hundred and ten for
eigners to seven natives in these six Southern
States.
The proportion of native crime is not con-
fined only to the white population but includes
the negro; and the aggregate proportion o.
crime among the native white and negro popu-
lation, is but fraction less than one-sixteenth
Of the crime among the foreign. Is there, then,
no reason why the South should fear immigra-
ton! Ffteen-sixteenths Of the crime in the
States named is the result of the immigration;
and il is not unreasonable or unjust to charge
the remaining sixteenth to the influence of the
foreign populations. Il isclearly deducible from
these facts that the South has most 10 fear from
immigration. Besides the physical and politi-
cal power which immigration gives to the
North, of which the South has so long COM
ploined, the South suffers comparatively more
from the accompanying evils OF immigration.
crime and pauperism, than the North, yet in
ierested partizans and dcmagogues tell US the
South should fear nothing from immigration!
Must the South be converted into an Euro
pean pest-house! Will it through revenge and
malice, or in consequence of Northern aggres.
sion, actual or imaginary, deluge the whole
country with the cvis of foreign immigration
when it is clear that it must suffer from these
evils more than any other portion OF the coun.
try? And even though the North may have
committed wrongs upon the South, is that any
reason why the South should commit wrong
upon itself and the North too!
i The question then of amendment Of The
naturalization laws and the prohibition of tn,

should the south Fear Immi|
ton.

Besides the political po vefwith which u
eigners are invested under existing laws, i'm
mediately upon their landing upon our shores,
there are other evils attendant upon immigra-
ton from which the South has much to fear.
Crime Is not blessing to any community, and
notwithstanding the Comparative freedom Of
several Of the Southern States from foreigners,
yet the criminal record exhibits the 81 artlng
fact that those very States have suffered most
seriously from foreign crime.
BY table published in the Compendium of
the Seventh Census, giving the number of con-
victs in the prisons and penitentiaries of the
several States, out Of every ten thousand OF the
population, the proportion of natives and for
eigners in that number is as follows:

THE COOLEST WMTER.-The severest and
coolest winter will long be remembered on ac-
count, not only Of the unusually low range Of
the thermometer, bit also on account Of the al
most unprecedented continuance oft. During
the month of January there was scarcely a
day In which the 81 n had sufficient power to
melt the ice or snow. such q winter we are
told has not been known since the year 1876.
A citizen Of Baltimore, whose father was q
soldier IN the Revolutionary war, states that in
the year above mentioned, the Chesapeake BAY
was frozen over o. low down as the Rappaha1-
mock river, and that deer were killed upon The
Ice in attempting to cross the Bay from Iaylor's
Island to the Potomsc side. During ne pres

The Alexandria Gazette goes in for short ses-
sion of Congress for the following very good and
sufficient reasons:
Congress having now been organized in both
branches we shall urge strenulously, attention to
only the necessary business operations Of the gov
eminent, and short session. The elements of
mischief In the House of Representatives, forbode
nothing but agitation and the country will sbreath
freer' when they are dispersed. Let us have,
therefore, an early adjournment Pass the appro-
priation bills, and such other matters as are con-
