MisHllung.
Eight milIiOns Of Slaves.

According 10 the returns Of the last
census, there were about four millions Of
colored men held as slaves in the United
States. II has been supposed that these
were the only slaves embraced within the
limits of the american Union. But this
is an error. The Supreme Court Of the
United States says that no State can
make foreigner citizen Of the United
States, nor entitle him to the rights and
privileges secured to citizens by the Con.
stitution of the United States
There are about the same number Of
foreigners in the United States as there
are Of colored people. Hence, instead Of
four millions of slaves, we have eight
millions-one half negroes, and the other
half Irish, Germans, English, French,
Spanish, Italians, &C., &c.
This is not fancy picture. The de-
cision Of the Supreme Court (and it Is
the supreme law Of the land) places ne.
groes and foreigners upon exactly th'
same level. For if the rights Of citizen
ship do not attach to foreigner whC
makes this country his home. he is liabl,
to be sold into slavery at the caprice o
any State in the oonfedeiaoy.
This is modern Democracy This /
the Democracy which most Of our citi
zens Of foreign birth sustained "A the las
Presidential election. II is a libel on th
very name, as il is a violation Of the frs
principles Of Rep0blieanism. IL cast

shade. KnoY- Nothingism in its wildes
paroxysms. never dreamed Of anythin

first love- He is now at the halfway
house, and will doubtless soon find him
self Of squatter sovereignty and other
kindred fallacies, for which he yet seems
to have lingering aLtachment-and be
ready TO enter, after a proper pennance
and probation, into full communion with
his former brethren in the RupublcaD
church. And to all | would say, "escape

YOU" for if you for moment suppose that
the Dred Scott decision will quiet the pub
liz mind, or that the people Of Ohio will
tacilly permit the STAKEHOLDER the right Of
transit with his slaves even for day or
an hour, you have in my judgement mis-
taken the fixed determination of our pco-
pie. The only effect Of that decision will
be to cement by stronger and more indis.
soluble lies every lover Of liberty, Of the
Union, and our couhtry's welfare. Look
ing to this end, for them elves and their
pos;erity to the lates generation. they will
place in power only those who will re-es-
tabish and forever keep up the original
landmarks Of freedom against the en-
croachments Of Slavery and oppression,
and who will bear aloft the flag Of the
Union and the Constitution, for the perpe-
tuity of human liberty upon every inch Of
soil now dedicated to freedom, until that
day shall come, as come it will, when the
syIen voice of the dpmagogue "that the
Constitution carries slavery with it into
the free territories of the Republic without
the sanction Of any positive law" will be
hushcd forever in the irresistible torrent
Of public sentiment. We are unwilling
that this serpentine evil shall insiduously
wind itself around our body polite, until
we are unable to resist; but, while in the
vigor of manhood and free from tempta-
ton, we plant ourselves upon this our
only rock Of safety, and feel assured that
in the smiles Of benefcenl Creator, amid
The rise and fall of empires. our glorious
Republic, will, as the model nation, stand
forth forever the rival Of the world.

The Glasgow Christian News gives
the following as "no fiction, but the plain
truth :"
A young man and his wife were pre-
pairing to attend Christmas party, at the
house of friend some miles distant -
Henry, my dear husband. don drink
too much at the party to-day; you will
promise me, won't you?' said she, put
ting her hand upon his brow, and raising
her eyes to his face with a pleading smile
mo, Millie, l will not; you may trust
me-" And he wrapped his infant boy in
a soft blanket, and they descended. The
horses were soon prancing over the turf.
and pleasant conversation beguiled the
way. "Now don't forget your promise, >
whispered the young wife as she passed
up the steps. Poor thing she was the
wife of man who loved to look upon the
wine when red.
The party passed of pleasantly; the
time for departing drew near, aud the
wife descended from the upper chamber
to join her husband. A pang shot thro'
her trusting heart as she met him. for he
was intoxicated-he had broken his prom.
Use. Silently they rode homeward. save
when the drunken man broke into snatch
es Of song or unmeaning laughter. But
the wife rode on. her babe closely pressed
to her greved heart. "Giye me the ba-
by, Mile; | can trust you with him, "
said he as they approached dark and
swollen stream. After some hesitation
she resigned her first born, her darling
babe, closely wrapped in great blanket,
to his arms.
Over the dark waters the noble steed
safely bore them, and when they reached
the bank the mother asked for her child.
With much care and tenderness he placed
the bundle in her arms, but when she
clasped it 20 her bosom, no babe pas
There! 1t had slipped from the blanket,
and the dIu ken father knew it not. A
wild shrek from the mother aroused-him,
and he turned around just in time TO see
