A SCENE IN A FASHIONABLE CHURcH.-A
young man, accompanied by two ladies visit
cd ono Of our fashionable churches yesterday
to hear noted divine. Seats were assigned
by the gentemsnIy sexton. Scarcely were
they seated when woman counterfeit arti-
cle,) dressed in the hight Of fashion entered
the pew and Immediately knelt, joiningin the
prayer by the pastor. She appeared to
feel very uncomfortable, for some reason,
which afterward appeared. The prayer being
ended, she arose from her kneeling position
and said to the young. "lf you please, won't
you 60 out; this pew belongs to u.s." There
upon the gentleman and ladies (for such they
we're in the largest sense of the word) imme.
diately left in search of 4 pew large enough

the prospect Of q reduction in the prices OF
travel between this city and the East.

''6lavery" in Massachusetts.

Among the speeches delivered during the
last session of Congress, that of Hon. Thos.
G. Davidson, Of Louisiana, should be count
ed not the least important. Mr.. Davidson,
besides other matter of interest, exhumes
the fact that the State of Massachusetts has
never abolished "slavery.' This is startling
fact, and when the Boston people realize it
we expect to hear of terribla' time in old
Faneuil Hall. 1t seems they have been so
busy denouncing other people that they have
forgotten all about their own deinquencies
What has been done seems to have occurred
entirely unintentionally. After the Revolu-
ton, the people Of Massachusetts, adopted
new constitution which had not word in it
about PFohibiting slavery" which then ex
listed there. In that Constitution, however,
was bill of rights containing substantially
the words Of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, that sail men are created equal" &C.
A short time after this case involving
before the Supreme Court, and Chief Justice
Parsons decided that the declaratan in the
Bill Of Rights included negroes as we'll as
white men, and thus slavery" fell to the
ground, not by the will of the people of Mas
sachusetts put by judicial DECISION. There
is, therefore, nothing in the organic law of
Massachusetts, at this day to prevent the
natural relations Of master and servant be-
tween men and negroes. 1t all depends
upon the copstrpcttion of the courts. 1t
would seem, therefore, that the people Of
Massachusetts fell into abolishng '"slaveryp
by mistake, or rather by the perverse dog
gedness Of a Judge, who insisted upon con-
strung clause, which evidently only re-
ferred to white men, to have reference to
negroes. We cannot say positively, but it
may bs that, angry with themselves for
having committed such . blunder, they are
determined to have some recampense for it
by forcing abolition upon all their sister
States. At all events we are much obliged
To Mr.. Davidson for giving us this fact.

Weller and the Wagon Road.

1t is with pride that We point to the
record of Col. Weller, our nominee for
Governor, upon the National Wagon Road
and Overland Mail route ulject. This
measure passed Congress when COL Weller
was the only Senator in Congress from this
State. These measures nearly concern the
prosperity and advancement of the State, rs
they remove the principal obstacle to emf
grafton to the Pacific coast and add to
our population class Of hardy enterprising
men-men who constitute the true wealth
of the State, the farmer and producer. 1t
is mainly to Mr.. Weller that we are indebt
ed for the passage of these measures. 1t
is true, in urging their adoption, he but
gave expression to the unanimous voice Of
his constituents. But this was his duty, aud
as in other instances, the record shows that
he discharged it faithfully.
A judicious expenditure Of these sppro-
priations will confer vast benefits upon as a
State, and upon the entire population of the
Pacific coast 1t is with pride that the
Democracy of California may ask to be sus-
tanned by the almost unanimous voice Of
the State, such measures attest the faithful
ness capability and public devotion of their
standard bearer That California under Mr..
Weller's administration, would rapidly ad-
vance in all the elements that constitutes the
true wealth and greatness of q State, none
can doubt, who are willing to examine the
records Of his public acts. To that he refers
as the guaranty for the future-by it he is
willing to be judged, and to stand or fall
upon its merits. Butte Record

THE WIDOWS MITE.
BY JENETTE.

Judea's stately fame was bright
With splendor's proud array,
As wealthy vot'ries thronging came
Their costly gifts to pay;
And pride, with osteptatious hand,
Her lavish treasures flung
into the treasury of the Lord,
Sad pcnury's gifts among,
And there was one, obscure and lone,
Amid that gorgeous throng,
Who. with pale and sorrowing brow,
Unnoticed, moved along
Her sable garb, her wasted form,
Her sad and mournful air,
And haggard looks, bespoke too well
That want and woe were there.
Her simple mite she meekly gave,
A .farthing-all her store
Alas! how trifling was the gift,
And yet she had no more.
Passed not smile of cold disdain
Ger yon proud wogldling's face,
As there with his the widows gift
Took its unnoticcd PLACE.
Vet there was one, who lanely sat,
Apart to view the scene,
In unassuming gayh Arrayed.
OF calm and thQAghtful mich
One. DER whose piarid features passed
No earthly passions trace,
TO dim the smile Of holy love
That shone upon his face.
And he had watched the votive thrnng
With eye that keenly read
The secret motives that had each
Up to the temple led.
All! little rocked the thoughtless crowd
OF that observaHt eye,
Which thus beneath all outward show
Could every thought destroy.
He saw. and calling to his side
The few who layed his name,
He spoke of her who thus alone
With scanty Offering came;
OH richer far her simple mite
Than oil the shining hoard.
Which wealth with lavish hand had brought
In off'ring to the Lord.
Richer! for it was all she had,
Her only little stare,
Bestowed with steadfast trust in Him
Whose care could send him more
oh! Faith and Lope! did ye not win,
Although in humblest state,
A richer garden far than they,
The gifted and the great?

Decadence of Know-Nothingism-Duty of
the South-VOlce of K. N, Organ,

The Sentinel, published at Plaquemne
lberville Parish, La.,) which at one time was
an able organ of the old Wing party, and
subsequently an earnest advocate of the
measures of the Know Nothing order, con.
tanned few weeks since an ARTICLE headed
"Duty of the South" from which We make
the following very pertinent and significant
extracts!
at is not the province Of an editor to
continue his course in the vindication and
recommendation of political doctrines which
the trial at the ballot-box proves dstastefu
and inexpedient. To pursue such course
any longer, after such trial and such a
sweeping result, would be but little less than
fanatica; and the political policy of State
cannot be judicious or wise, or even success
full, which is in opposition to p national poll
cy, or which has been condemned as such.
"Whan the mandate Of the people was re-
corded last November it opened to us the
future too plain to be mistaken, and we in
formed pur readers what opr idea of Chat
future was. We intimated to them our sin
cere conviction than the mandate was the
unquestionable and fna! overthrow of the
principles OF the Know othing or American
party in national point of view We must
confess that it was painful to us to make
such confession; but our positive convic-
tons, the necessity Of truth, and the interests
of the southern people, were our motives
and honor left US no other alternative
While we saw "Americanism" crushed by
the national ballot box of November last, we
saw on the other hand Black Repubcanism
rather jubiant than otherwise in consequence
of that action-democrady had n
"Scotched the snake, not killed it'C
and we at once informed our readers what
they might expect to see in l860-that there
would then be but two parties in the coun-
try, the democrats and the black republicans
and that the only hope for the South was
to throw aside all previous political differences
and form "an unbroken southern phaanx"
1--WE cared not under what nancy for the pur-
pose of defeating the common enemy; and
called upon the Southern journals in view of
such future, to use their mighty lever in
bringing about harppniQus action. These
were our sentiments, as expressed iH the Sen
tinel on the 9th of December last, and in
subsequent numbers and :l4ey are opr septi
ments pQw,N
