to suppose 1t probable,
The absurd assumption that If Republi-
cans get the power they will Interfere d.

right or disposition to do which has always
been denied by free-state men, and never

according to Mr.. Hammond, if they should
attempt such a thing, must eifectually deter
them from such an attempt if nothing else
would.
But after all, Mr.. Hammond has misgivings,
This almost omnipotent power of the slave
holding States over the nation and the world
cannot be made eHectual in practice with
out the help of Northern allies. of these he
is thankful that they have many who
are ready to make common cause with the
slaveholders-who can be relied upon to help

tinctions Of national democrats" and estate
rights democrats Sin fact does not under
stand them. As to the best way of conduct

Mr.. II. does not wish to dictate, though he
thinks that 'if the South has any desire to
remain in the Union and control it, she, as
her safety requires that she should, in some
essential particulars, if she does remain in it
must concllate her Northern Allies. She
must be just, kind and true, to all who arc
true to truth and to her. But if she deter

that, nor out Of this Union, she can sustain
herself among the foremost nations of thu
earth"
The shallowness and self-conceit Of Mr.
Hammond's speech are fully up to the high
water mark among those of other southern
politicians of the same type. The impudenc,
with which he gives his hearers to understand
without asserting it in express terms,) tina
all the outrages and bloodshed in Kansas ar,

The SUFFOLK BANK.-At meeting of the
stockholders of the Suffolk Bank, yesterday,
a petition was received from twenty-three
Boston Banks, requesting the Suffolk Bank to
protract the time mentioned in their last cir
cular three months, in order to give them
(the banks,) more time in which to decide
upon some definite plan for the establishment
Of a new institution. This request, we un-
derstand, will be acceded to.
We also understand that the Suffolk Bank
will be willing to receive, assert and count all
foreign money at the rate Of Is cents per
$1,000, which is the price they charge for bills
so received from New York, &c. This will
remove the objections that have bean hereto
fore made of inequality of charges, as 1t does

Men grow angry and rough they swear

Men grow angry and rough they swear
and make hammers of their hands, and talk
big and loud, and very little is trodden upon
but toes it is a fair fight. Not so when
young ladies have the fatal gift of biting sar-
casm. and with a merry laugh hurl toma-
hawk at some poor fellow who is bound, as
much as if the Sioux had him, by the
thought that his mother was woman, and
he must treat all women courteously for her
sake
That is the reason why in all personal
collisions when the fairer half of humanity
are assailants, man is sure to be whipped
if he does not chose valors better part and
run away. Those young ladies are not rare
who have fancy for being cutting as well as
killing, and are constantly saying severe
things. We mean no disrespect, but sharp
young women should be contrived like pen
knife-she should shut up.-Chcogo Jour

MURDLRous ASSAULT AND SuIcIpE.-We
learn by Rev. Mr.. Atwater, of Crown Point,
\. Y, that terrible tragedy was enacted in
that town on Saturday evening last. Mr.
Gilbert IIuestis while his cousin, Mr. Villo
Huestis, was visiting him, deliberately walked
up stairs, took bayonet, returned with it,
and stabbed his cousin thirteen times; after
which he cut himself in several places in his
arms, with his jack-knife, severing the arte-
ries. His wounds were bound up; but on
Sunday he tore off the bandages and bled to
death. Gilbert Huestis, the murderer and
suicide, had been considered partially insane
for several months past, and the deed is sup
posed to have been that of crazy man. His
victim, Villo Huestis, was reported to be in
dying condition, yesterday. Both the men
were heads of families.
