GOING IT STRONG.

The Charleston, S STANDARD presents a sweep
ing plan for slavery ACCOMPLISHMENT. 1t adco-
Gates an alliance with Brazil, q seizure of Cuba,
the conquest of Hayti, and the control Of the Am
azon, the whole West India Islands, and all the
rest of the tropical regions. 1t is for the immcdi-
ate establishment of the foreign slave trade as n
measure of wise and Christian Philanthropy
The Standard thinks that the United States and
Brazil, united in tho policy of cultivating the troY-
les by slave labor, would so rapidly augment their
wealth and power, ms speedily to bid defiance to
the world. Our southern masters are becoming
towering in their ambition. Is the north prepared
to join them as menials in this crusade against
the freedom OF the world

mr.. EVERETT TIE UNFORTUNATE.

Mr.. Everett lectured in Richmond, Va, on Thurs
day evening to an immense audience at two dollars
per ticket for each listener. lie had q tremendous
house, and after he had got through his eulogy up
on Washington, which takes ONE two hours, we
understand, to finish, Gov. Wise Of Only, near On
ancock, and John Tyler, each made IL long compli-
mentary speech 10 the orator What had Mr.. Ev-
erett done to desere this We have seen it stated
in several papers that Mr.. Wise is believed to be a
candidate for a Lunatic Asylum from the effect Of
the contemp lation Of his Own wit.
The following from a recent letter Of his to the
Richmond Enquirer, will show how far he is on
his way to Staunton:
when l was asked what l thought Of the ticket
Of the Philadelphia Convention, it was but q bon
mot-irresistible / declare, to reply-'I think it is
a mulatto, and | would not, clothes and, all give as
much for it as If it was pure black"
As for John Tyler, Mr.. Everett doubtless de-
clared him clean daft about sixteen years ago, and
10 one can believe that revolving time has added
ought of force to a mind that was then very shaky
Unfortunate Mr.. Everett TO be obliged to listen
TO praises from tongues that are meyer tired OF re
wiling his ancestors as the descendants OF Gurih
the swine-herd; never tired Of reviling Mr.. III
contemporaries whea they assert their manhood
never would tire Of reviiing him, yea! would his
on the crowd to egg him, if he should once NOV
his tongue in utterance of a manly sentimen
against the MolOch which he in silence is believes
10 worship. Does not the praise of Wise and Ty
Ter seem very Ike a stigma upon the manhood Of

it lie that the great Republic can maintain Slavery
in one-half of its States2
1--WE would further remark that the candidate
opposed to Mr.. Banks was sustained by the Know
Nothings or Dcmagogues, who oppose both the
emancipation Of the slaves and the naturalization
of foreigners. Their candidate only failed by
three votes; but we now learn that this party has
succeeded in cleciing the Clerk, who is the second
parsonage of the Chamber of Representatives
Here, then, is the close of these nominations, so
long disputed, which has ended in having the Leg

Of Democracy ana the Constitution. In its com

high eulogy a paragraph from a recent Congress

of the Democratic party. Thus:
al believe the Democratic party is, to day. purcr

The gentleman from Pennsylvania, (Alr. Camp.

says it is a feeble and scanty band, ~clinging to its
broken affairs. Why feeble and scanty? Because
it has been much more friendly to the South. and
trucr to the Constitution, than either of tie other
parties. Clinging, says the gentleman, to its bro

CoNSEcrIcUT REPUBLrcANIsM.- The following
statement of the purposes and character Of Re-
publicanism, is from the Hartford Courant. What
do our Ohio Republicans think Of it when presen-
ted with such unmistakablc plainness of speech ?
Certainly we have never charged i. with anything
more wicked than what its organ and supporter
here boasts of as being its object and purpose.
Republication is the Uhite mans party. 1t is
not because we feel any burning zeal in the black
mans cause, that we resist the progress of sla-
very in this country. We like the white man bet
ter than we do the black. We believe the Cauca.
sian variety # the human species superior to the
Negro variety; and We would breed tie lest stock,
and fill this noble land Of ours-this broad coun-
try that the Almighty seems to have providential-
~ () preserved as a blank sheet, upon which the
noblest and lofticst thoughts, only, can be properly
inscribed-with the noblest race of human beings
possible. Color is not the trouble; thick lips and
wOolly hair are not the objections. 1t is, that the
Caucasian variety is intriRStcdHy a better breed, OF
better brain, better moral traits, better capacity
every way, than the Negro, or the Mongolian, or
the Malay, or the Red American. If the Negro
race had the mental superiority, We should cOnsid-
or the color, bail, or odor, matters Of no account.
To our minds, the Republican cause is enthusiastically
ariSiocratic; it aims to save the country to the
phite man. The Republicans mean to preserve all
of this country that they can from the Icst3cHtiqI
ptrs"hce GF he biuck man.

Nee 1o1E, DGr and Ed,rdrds. London, Sdmp-
son, Lo'c, Son and Co., 1856.
This work ought to be acceptable to the numer.
Gus class who have hitherto, raised the cry of IA
naticism against all writers who have not seen fit
to glorify the patr,archal institution. If it is only
ianaticism they abhor, they will find small occa.
sion to condemn Mr.. Olmstead's book. 1t will be
acceptable to all who are desirous of n fair and
and candid statement of facts, and q representa-.
ton OF slavery as it is. from a man, who though no
friend OF the system, is yet determined to do exact
justice to it, to its friends and victims. Slaves and
Shareholders, are brought forward to testify in
the premises and the system is judged in the light
of the testimony they present. Mr.. Olmstead is
a practical man, Of quick perceptions and careful
observation, who seems to state facts because they
are facts and not to secure q purpose or sustain n
theory. One IS however sometimes almost out Of
patieace with the cool and quiet manner in which
he narratcs the most marvellous facts or gives the
details of some appalling wrong. 1t is in the So
cial and economical view Of the question, that the
author is most at home. He leaves with his read
or an inefdceable impression of the thriftlessness
and discomfort which are inseperable from the sys-
TEN and curse all classes in q slaveholding com.
%munity, impartially making no exception of slave
owner, more than of slave. 1t is a most valuable
book and its facts should he made familiar to the
whole people. 1t obounds in anecdote, which with
its lively style will be sure to enlist and thorough.
y interest the reader to the end. Abolitionists
cannot do bettJr than to secure Cor it u wide cir
%culation in their respective localities. 1t may be

PUTNAM FOR ArRIL, is no to its own high stand
ard Of excellence in a literary point of view. Its
contents present a pleasing variety and much
valuable information. "The Rea! Question" is
an able comparison of the free and slave civiliza-
ton as illustrated, the former by Massachusetts
and the latter by South Carolina. In view of the
great superiority of freedom in its influences upon
the State and the individual, it deduces the impor-
lance of giving it,thesupremacy in the national gov
crnment and in the Territories. The writer leaves
out Of view in this consideration, the moral character
of slavery and the special claims of the slave
We think he mistakes when he afirms that "the
real question is not as to tho merits Of Slavery 10
itself, or in its adaptation to those communities in
which it already exists" The serious conflicts OF
these "contending species Of civilization" Tor as
we should say of civilization and barbarism.) in
our past national history, would seem sufficient to
induce us to wage an exteIminating war against
slavery ITSELF aud no longer vainly strive to
unite conflicting Noral elements. An irrepealable
social law, renders it impossible to set aside the
immediate interests of our millions of slaves, and
yet secure thu benefits of the highest civilization
for any other class of individuals, or for all others
combined.
