A ARTIST.

We find the following paragraph going the
rounds of the papers:
Powers statue of America, it is said, is only a
copy of the Venus of Milo. TO make the goddess
of love represent America, be pondered what
symbol of tyranny to put under her feet. He
thought of chaint, but these he feared would offend
the South. a crown might d~isplease England.
30 he hit upon ropes; and the whole stat e is n
nude figure standing on ropes. For this he is to
have S2j, OJJ.
Who is to give this miserable, mcrccnary trim
mer S25, 900 for attempting to cheat posterity, by
chisseling u lie in marble. Has Congress ordered
this statue? We suppose SO from the character
Of this paragraph.
Frederick Douglas serves up the paragraph to his
readers with the following relish:
Oh most sensitive nation! Oh most accom-
m%odating artist! Any allusiOn to hanging in the
presence of a man whose father has been hanged,
is said to be in bad taste, may not the ropes upon
which the statue of America is placed annoy the
sensitive Brooks, or Herbert, who so much deserve
II halter. And so the church, the State, the poet,
the painter, the sCul ptor. all must do homage to
the demon slavery, which rules triumphant in the
American heart. We think, however, that Mr.,
Powers has made a great mistake in IMPLYING
America as he has done; instead of copying the
Venus of Milo, he should have copied one of the
Furies, fully armed with a large plantation whip
or a gutta percha cudgel, carrying the Gorgon
shield Of Minerva, and driving madly over the
PROSTATE forms Of a group of Africans and white
mer, chained together. This would have had, at
least, the merit of truthfulness. The day has
been, when artists in modelling statues for the
American public, could not be too severe'upon the
tyrants of tho world. The seal of Virginia, with
Liberty trampling on the PROSTATE form of
Tyranny, crown, chains, and all, and the brave
motto, $50 always to tyrants," would be decidedly
incendiary and abolition if proposed at this day.
We hope that the representatives Of the north will
have the backbone, to vote against an appropri-
alton for any such a milk and water affair, as
Mr.. Powers copy of Milos' Venus, with ropes at
her feet.

RECONCILIATION IMPOSSIBLE.

'uentiemen may cry peace, peace; but there is
no peace" mo man can serve two masters"
Freedom and Slavery can never live peaceable
together. Compromising only accumulates d~i ficul-
ties and makes them more complicated. O if our
fathers had settled this question for us by putting it
upon the basis of natural justice, how much mis-
chief would have been prevented But they com
promised. See what has followed: ENHANCEMENT
after ENHANCEMENT. Bad precedents have been
deemed more sacred than the deep convictions of
the heart- more sacred than the glorious principles
upon which our fathers planted themselves at first.
Alas for us?-we can have no such thing rs peace.
Bradford X. Wood, of Kansas saws, 1--WE must
either fight, submit, or dissolve the Union" That
is exactly the state of the case, unless the question
can be settled at the ballot.box. And even then
there is reason to fear it will not stay settled. The
truth is with such a monstrous and unnatural crime
as slavery upon its conscience, the Almighty never
any nation to sleep in peace, and lie
never will. North and South, we are guilty con.
our brother. Blood is on our skirts. The
cries of the oppressed rise to Heaven, and every
attribute of Infinite Justice is on their side.
So says the Minnesota Republican. 1t is true:
every woI1 true. And with this truth radiating
from his pen, how can any man labor 10 support
a compromising party. Our fathers by compro-
missing brought the mischief upon us. Why
should we and complicate the difficult
lies by perpetua;;ng the compromise. 1--WE must
light, submit, or dissolve the Union" What then
5 the use of triling about slavery extension. Let
as by all means strive to bring the question to a
upon the basis of natural justice. Let
rs be found beside the slave and thus be found CO.
operating with "thc attributes Of Infinite Justice.
