cause of the great incsease Of the value Of real
estate in that section Of the county of Mont

dence at Spring Farm for the past six years
has caused real estate in that portion of the
county Of Alexandria, Va, to increase in
value 800 per centum, as it has done in that
time Nor is his plea that ten Of those citizens
whom he has employed at Silver Spring from
frst to last have become land holders because
he employed them, worth more than would be
a similar plea that such of our employees Of
the same sort, Who are thrifty men, owe a
debt of gratitude to us for their present better
position in life, as owners Of the soil Thank
God, at the South any thrifty man may be.

North. We also thank God because white
labor at the South, whether mechanical or Of
any other description-of brain or of hands
is better paid in the aggregate than anywhere
else on this continent; and because no white
man at the South owns a master; there being

getting up his pamphlet in question, but car-
not for the life of US perceive how his feen

to believe to be the worship of 4" Bucks horns
by bis Democratic neighbors, can justify his
own demoniac worship of "the Woolly horse"
in the midst Of slaveholding community.

therein who knows anything, will realize at
once that his arguments in justification Of his
political labors in behalf of Messrs. Seward,
Fred Douglass, Bob Purvis, Giddings & Co.
are tissue of ISLANDERS against all the whites

Rats Deserving the Falling House.-The
New York Herald is evidently crawling over
to tho Democratic side as fast as possible
now that Pennsylvania and Indiana have
settled the Presidential contest. It not only
scores its go recent friends Greeley, Seward,
Thurlow Weed & Co. without mercy, but its
late greatest statesman the world ever pro.

oratorical effort Of that gentleman delivered
in the New York Academy of Music the sub.

IS the most essential fool who ever mistook his
calling, and as having been nothing more since
he entered politics, than fat goose plucked
by any and all scamps who chose to take his
money in return for protesting to believe him
great man, &c. In few paragraphs the
Herald thus strips George Law Of all the Dor
rowed plumes with which it has been deco
rating him for some months past, until it made
him appear to men Of sense and experience in
life who knew him, as the merest harlequin of
the age. We know not what's in the win d
between Bennett and Law; but we do know
that there is more truth in what the Herald
says in exposition of the ridiculous character
of = political aspirations than we had pre-
viously seen for many months in that sheet.
What that journal also says, in its issue of
Sunday last, Of the published lives of Fre-
mont, is not less true. They did form the
staple Of many Of the most effective common
Of the Democratic speakers in Pennsylvania,
because all written of him in those biographies
that was true went to prove, incontestibly,
that he is wholly unfit to be made the Presi-
dent Of the United States; while what they
contained that was untrue, was easily proved
to be so. As his biographers strove to mako
him appear, be is by no means the man to be
entrusted with the destinies of the United
States; and all patriotic and sensible persons
