SUCCESS NOT ALWAYS HAPPINEss.-We
often see an old and weather-beaten man
who never had any success in his life, who
always knew more, and accomplished less
than his associates, who took the quartz
and dirt of enterprise, while they took
the gold and yet, in old age, he is the
happier man-all his life long he was the
happier man He has sum of hope,
and they of desire and greed and amid
all this misfortune, and these mysterious
provinces, he had that within him which
rose up and carried his head above all
troubles. and upon their world wide waters
bore him up like the old ark upon the de-
huge. 1t was the deluge that gave out
not the ark.

SLAVERY EXTENSION.

When our constitution was adopted,
the Union consisted of twelve slave States
and one free State. Now we have fifteen
slave States and sixteen free ones. The
advance of freedom has been as fifteen, 10
three, or five to one, as compared to sla-
very. A further fact can be shown, that
we have less amount of slave territory
States and all, of course-ihan we had
when the old confederatiye government
was organized, Notwithstanding the vast
increase of territorial dimensions and, in
the face of all this, men 60 around the
country talking about the aggressions Of
slavery. when by no act, Legislative
or otherwise. on the part Of this govern
ment, has slavery been extended to free
territory, but, on the contrary, territory
acquired as slave has been made free by
an act of the people. The relative dimen-
sions of the slave and free territories,
compared with the period of the adop-
ton of the constitution, will show an over
whelminy preponderance in favor OF the
latter.
But further: This increase of slave
States is not attributable to our laws, but
to the laws of the countries of which we
acquired them. They were acquired as
slave territory. Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa,
Oregon. and Washington Territories were
all acquired as slave, and they are all to
come in as free States. Utah and New
Mexico are to come in free, beyond all
question, which will make the compare
tive increase of free and slave States as
twenty nine is to three, or more than sew
en- to one.
With such truths within the reach and
comprehension of every man in the land
is it not lamcntable to witness the studied
misrepresentation of men pretending to
be honest and patriotic ?

THE MERCHANT.

The merchant makes no claim to be-
neyolence or patriotism as his ruling mo-
tive in trade, all he Processes is absolute
and undertaking justice. The morals Of
trade are of The s.rictest and purest char
acter. 1t is not an uncommon opinion
that there is laxi.y in the mercantile
code which looks with indulgence on what
are called the tricks of trade. 1t is not
so. Whilst the direct object of all trade
is gain, individual benefit, not the Sigh
test prevarication or deviation from the
truth is allowable. There is no class of
men with whom the Christian rule Of
doing to others what we expect or require
in return, is more strictly demanded than
amongst merchants. Mercan. lie honor is
as delicate and fragile as that of woman.
1t will not bear the slightest strain
Tie man in trade who has been found to
equivocale or falter in his course becomes
a marked man. He is avoided. 1t is
thus found. by experience, that integrity
is almost as uniformly the accompaniment
of success, as it always is of character.
l. is true that in The manifold operations
OF trade there are oppor .unities AMI temp
tations to acts of dishonesty more fire.

the rigidity of the rule, which controls
the action of the honorable merchant,
AMI under which alone h. can claim that

Buo whilst the selfish principle lies at
the foundation OF trade, there is no reason
why he trader himself should be active
in benevolence and all tie Chris ian yir-
tues. There is no occupation wi.icn has
a tendency 70 liberalize the mind more
than that of the merchsn. His intercourse

Mail Robbery Anecdo.e,

In he early annals of our country. says
NJ. bib ook. in his Ten Years amony
the Mail Bags" many instances of mail
robbery are found, some of which occa-
stoned the display of great intrepidi,y.
and daring. as the pcrusal Of the follow
ing will show:
While the country wits yet thinly set
tied, and the mails were transported on
horseback, or in different kinds of vehi.
cles, from the gig to the stage-coach, Of
ten through extensive forests, which affor-
ded every facili y for robbery, the office of
stage driver or mail carrier was no ST ne
cure. Rcsolute men were required for
this service, who on an emergency could
handle apisSol as we'll as whip.
Some thirty or forty years ago mail
coach ran in the northern part of the state
of New York, through the famous " Cha
tcaugay woods" The forest was MANY
miles in extent, and common fame and
many legends gave it the reputation of a
noted place for freebooters and highway
men.
One morning the stage driver on his
route had occasioned to examine his pis~
tolls, and found, instead of the usuald
charge, that they were loaded with wheat
bran A daring villain had, through an
accomplice, thus disarmed the driver,
preparatory to waylaying him. He drew
the charges, cleaned the weapons, and
carefully loaded them with powder and
ball.
That afternoon he mounted his stage
for bis drive through the Chateaugay
woods. There was not passenger in his
vehicle. Whistling as he went, he "crack-
ed up" his leaders, and drove into the
forest. just about the centre of the
woods man sprang out from behind =

Constitutional Delegate.

Last week in naming DR.. Andres as a
proper person to fill the above Office, we
were entirely unadvised as to the senti-
ments of the public or the wishes of the
Doctor. We knew that no motion had
been made in the North part Of the county
to get out either Democratic Repub-
lican or Union Candidate, we had heard
Of n, move Of the kind any where in Clay
ton; and knowing that gentleman to be
able and withal a popular favorite, we had
no hesitatation in concluding that he was
among the very first on the list of promi-
nent citizens from among whom choice
would be made, we took the liberty of
proposing him. The name Of another dis
tinguished gentleman occurred to us but
from his declination to be candidate for
reelection to the important Office which
he has filed SO creditably to himself, and
with so mnch satisfaction to an appreciat-
ing constituency, we were led to think
that it would be difficult to obtain his con-
sent to make the race.
We now have the pleasure of in
Producing this gentleman under circum-
stances so peculiarly complimentary, that
we trust he will waive any personal OBJ
lection he may feel to the assumption of
the onerous duties connected with the Of
fee, and again consent to serve confd-
ing people.

of party, respectfully request you to be-
come candidate for that Office at the
