COL. BAKER.

By reference to the list published in another
column, it will be seen that this distinguished
.Alabamian will visit cur town on Monday next,
for the purpose of addressing the people of the
District in relation to the affairs of Kansas Col.
Baker brings with him abundant recommendations

represents the condition of the Southern cause in
Kansas in manner at once reliable and effective

can make it convenient will be in town, on Mon
day, to give Col. Baker full and candid hearing
As to the Importance of the topics he will discuss
we need say nothing Every friend of the Union
and especially every true Southron, cannot fail to
regard the issue presented in Kansas as one of
the very last Importance.
Let us hear the argument, and, having heard,
act accordingly. An article in another column,
from the Washington Star, will be read with in

COT. BENTON on EMANCIPATION.

The following letter from Col. Benton, denoun-
ccs the recent emancipation movement in Missou-
ri. Col. B. is IN old politician, and should have
known that the fanatical character of the crusade
against slavary, precludes the hope of compro-
mise. If he dees not know this fact, he is no
statesman; if he did know it and was wilfully
blind, as We suspect many of these pulling 'm'lk
and water" patriots, these union-!oving politicians
of the South, to be, why then let him receive his
reward when she comes to make up her J>~elS.-
Col. B. is not the only man at the South, VIC
opine, who will wake up when it is too late. Ihe
entire country is, to tell the truth, in the same
doing condition. Calm be its slumbers; since
there is no voice potent enough to overcome its
Incidence and lethargy. 1t ~W awaken, some
day to find itself, like Byron, in-''famous". Let
those, who hope against reason, read COL Vs let

wisely.

saw with amazemcnt the abolition movement
in our Assembly, and wrote Immediately to Price,
Lusk and others at Jefferson City, to condemn aud
rcpudiatc it, They ought to have cut themselves
loose from me before they began new slavery
agitation in the State, contrary to my established
policy They ought to have made known their in
tentions before the election, that might not have
been deceived by them
Many friends told me that these persons would
turn out fer abolition in the State as soon rs the
election was over, but could not believe in such
n thing. TO add State slavery agitation to the
national agitation, at the very moment when we
were opposing national agitation, was an incredl'
bic thing.
For persons calling themselves my friends to at
tack the whole policy of my life, which was to
keen slavery agitation out Of the State and get my
support in the canvass by keeping me ignorant
Of what they intended to do is the greatest out
rage have ever experienced Those who have
done it have never communicated one w"ld to
me in justification or explanation Of their con-
duct, for it is something they can neither ex.
plain nor justify. They know that it was who
introduced the clause against legislative emhncl-
pation into the Constitution, in order to keep the
slavery agitation cut Of the State, and that my
whole life has been opposed to the agitation of tho
subject. THUS. IL. DEN

below the village, Waccamaw possesses sufficient
width and depth for the passage OF steamers TO

twenty miles from the scashore, fifteen from Lit

A MODERN EVE.
A worthy squire, of sober life,
Had conceited, boasting wife; ,.
Of him she daily made complaint
Herself she thought very saint.
She loved to load mankind with blame
And on their errors build her fame.
Her favorite subject of dispute
Was Ere and the forbidden fruit.
"Had been E7e," she often said,
"Alan had not died by womau's aid;
would have kept the order given
And not for an "apple," lost my heaven!
The Squire replied-"I fear it's true
The same i'll spirit lives in you;
Tempted alike, dare believe,
You would have disobeyed like Eve"
The lady stormed, and loud denied,
With much self-confdence and pride.
One day this willy son of Adam
Resolved to try his worthy Madam;
He grieved that vanity possessed her
And so, in serious terms, addressed her:
"My dear, cannot dine to day,
For business summons me away;
Enjoy the dainties we've prepared,
And let not any part be spared
Indulge in every costly dish;
Eat well, 'tis what really wish.
Yet, on one dish which covered stands
You must not dare to lay your hands.
Now disobey not on your life,
Else you no more can he my wife,"
The dinner served-the Squire was gone,
The murmurring lady dined alone;
And as she glanced from this to that,
From yenison ham to turtle fat,
On one small dish che CHANGED to light
BY deep cover hid from sight
"Why put it here or why forbid
That so much rs lift the I'D?
I'll look 20! no, I'll lose forever,
If betray my husbands favor.
Yet, if am not of this to eat,
care not for the sumptuous treat.
wonder if tits fowl or fish?
To know what's there is oil I wish
I'll peep-my peeping can't be known"
"John! you may leave me all alone!"
NoValcne she waits nc longer,
Temptation presses firm and stronger,
Trembling, and yielding to her wish,
She raised the cover uf tho dish
ANIL To- behold an open pie,
From which six living sparrows fly!
She screamed aud cried with wild surprise.
Haste, John. catch these birds" she cries;
But John heeds not. To crown her shame,
At her shrill callher husband came;
And stern he looked, and thus he spake:-
"Ah! Eve, why they allegiance break?
Self ignorance led you to believe
You did not share the sin of Eve;-
Go, now. like Eve, from this sad dinner,
Conceitcd, vain and curious sinner"
