CARRYING THE WAR INTO AFRICA"

lHE WAN lNlO ArulCA.
To The Editors Of The EnYuucr:
I, in common with all your subscribers in this sec
ton, am much pleased with the bold manner in winch
you have ''carried the war into Africa Ii we tall to
| show that the abolitionists have evils enough at home
TO rectify, we in effect admit that slavery IA lndeiellsi.
bic. We can only Justify it by proving that, i'll its
absence, the dominion OF capital intiicts greater mise.
~ and wretchedness than the slavery to humane
masters. Not to ''aSitn.e' the whole question ot
slavery now, is to leave the people to See but one
side OF the question, and that the abolition side. This
has been the course of the South too long. | rejoice
that the Enquirer, and many other Democratic papers,
have changed their tactics i'll this respect. Times
change and men must change with them. In the in
~cipiency Of Abolition, we might hope TO suppress II
by silent contempt. Ii Is too strong now TO be thus
treated. The Democratic party has advanced 10
meet it, as it advances The Baltimore Platform,
like all other platforms, compromises and enuncia-
tions Of principles, suited the occasion and circum-
stances under which it was adopted, but did not meet
or provide for changed circumstances. Individuals
and parties, to act wisely and prudently, must follow
the practice Of the Doctors, and attack the prevailing
symptoms, rather than adhere to distractions, or
treat the disease according to It's name. Philosophlc
wrong.headed and least practical of men,
Truly great men, such as Washington, Wellington
and Peel, are never abstractlonists. They do not act
by uubending rule, because they know there are
more things in heaven and earth than any phi.oSo-
ply can account for or foretell. The Democratic
Puiig a"S eA"etS ~
able wisely and prudent!y 10 adapt itself to changes
OF time aud circumstances. 1t now sees that slavery
agitation is necessary to defend slavery and TO pre-.
serve the Union. just u this state of things becomes
obvious, a new party arises, which bases itself on
non. agitation, and ccnSsres us for agitation. This
party sees nothing worth discussion, action or oppo'
s:tion in Abolitionisin. THAT is harmless, in.
nocent, iunocuous; that should be let alone lis
the vile foreigners and Catholics that threaten
destruction to Union and Liberty" Hence, a;
the South, Know otlings stand of as ueutrals
10 the war wagiug between the Democracy and
the Black Republicans, whilst at the North, they are
allies of these dangerous incendiaries. They leave
the whole battle of the South to be fought by the De-
rnocracy. I repeat, that | rejoice that you are not
retreating, but advancing, and %carryiug. the war into
the enemies country. Agitation, tor the South and
her institutions, is now the obvious duty Of every
patriot. And he is false to the country, who, under
present circumstances, binds himself, not only by a
platform, Ju;b ~ an oath, not to a~gitate-for we pre-
sumo Know Nothing oaths bind to obedience to
their platform Of principles.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.

LORD STRATFORD De REDCLIFF'S RETIRE
MENT-HIS PRETENSIONS.

The correspondent Of the Independence Beige,
writing from Cous!ant.nople, under date of Frebruay
81, says:
"Lord Radcliffe stated 10 one of his diplomatic COL
leagues. the other day, that now peace was about TO be
concluded. and he had obtained for the Christians all
theprivileges he had been striving so many years TO
gain for them, his mission in Turkey was at an end,
aud he should Immediately retire from the arena OF
politics to the repose of private life. He wishes it to
be said, and TO that eud he will spare no exertion,
that to him. and to him alone, is due the honor OF the
great act Of reform that has just been accomplished.
otgans Of the British press, has no foundation in fact.
On the contrary, it might almost be affirmed that,
with the Ottoman ministry organized as it is at pres
ent, the noble lord by himself would have obtained
nothing, and that bis colleagues from France and
Austria have done, at least, as much IS he has to
bring about the present result

Mr. Campbell of Pa, said the American feeling
was very strong in the central and Eastern portions

secured TO the anti Nebraskuites He looked with
evident hope to see such an union effected.
Mr.. Campbell of Ohio, also urged a union of all the

SERENADE.

4 graceful lyric by William Allingham. 1t Dug
o be set to music:
Oh, hearing sleep and sleeping hear,
The while we dare to call thee dear,
SO may thy dreams be good, although
The loving power thou canst not know.
As music parts thy silence, 10!
Through heav'n the stars begin to peep,
To comfort US that darkling pine
Because those fairer lights of thine
Have set into the sea of sleep,
Yet closed still thine eyelids keep
And may our voices through the sphere
Of dreamland all as softly rise
As through these shadowy rural dells,
Where bashful echo sleeping dwells.
And touch thy spirit to as soft replies,
And peace from gentle guardian skies,
Till watches of the dark be worn,
Surround thy bed,-and joyous morn
Makes all the chamber rosy bright!
Good might From far of field. is borne
The drowsy echo's faint 'good night"
Goodnight! Goodnight!
