struck with the strong common sense
of this expression, as made by an old
friend and customer of ours few DAYS
since. Like most men he is not Who'll

is predisposition to grumble, not that
he means any especial harm by it, as
it as often indicates lucky transac-

came in with a renewal of his list OF

face, and assuming a serious tone, he
replied: "No matter, but the necessity
has come for more advertising. !

There is great amount of good
sense couched in these remarks. and
a good lesson Tor many much less sue
cessful men in business than our friend.

Now Pm gwine to sing song,
Bout old aunt Gemmima,
Who used to make de blister plaster,
Down in North Carolina.
Chorus:
Shecpskn and beeswax,
Burgundy pitch and plaster,
The more you try to pull it off,
1t only sticks the faster.
Old aunt Gemima had dog
His tail was rather stumpy,
She put the plaster upon his head,
And drawed him to monkey.
Shcepskin and becswux, &c,
She had horse and cart,
They stalled upon the level,
She pnttho plaster upon the cart,
And drawed 'cm to the devil.
Shccp;kin and beeswox, &c.
She bought box of bIacking,
SO big, or little bigger,
She put dc plaster on the box,
And drawod it toa niger,
Sheepskin and beeswax, &c.
Old aunt Gemina's dead and gone,
You may not believe this story,
Thew put the plaster on her head,
And drawed her up to glory.

WHEN love ~ EAHND.

BY THOMAS MOORE.
When love is kind,
Cheerful and free.
Loves sure to find
A welcome from me.
But when love brings
Heor'ache or pang,
Tears md such things
Love may go hang.
If love can sigh
For one alone,
We'll pleased am |
TO be that one.
Blu, should see
Love giv'n to rove
70 two or three,
Then-good-bye Love ;
Love must, in short,
Keep fond and true,
Through good report
And evil too.
Else here | swear,
Young love may go,
For ought | care,
To Jericho!

"No More Slave States"

The New York Express declares that the
North mean no such thing as enc more slave
States" 10 their denunciation of the Lecomp
what they consider aoheat and fraud-and
that if Kansas had been settled as slave
State under the Nebraska act, there would
have been no opposition to its admission
among the great body of the Northern peO-
pie. 1t concludes its article as follows;
Every Northern observing mind, whether
it likes it or not, expects this Union to expand
and TO expand in the South now, rather than
in the North--in Mexico especially; and
when that expansion comes, climate and pro-
duction, Northern men know, must and will
determine the status of the acquired Terrific
ry--not the cry of "Slave States" or "No
Slave States" The laws Of emigration are
"higher laws" than the Kansas Nebraska
Acr, or the Lecomp.on Constitution, or the
Wilmot Prosiso. Slavery now cannot be
kept out of territory contiguous to the United
States where white men cannot work IN the
open sun, and cannot be forced in now whore
white men can freely emigrate. Forty thou
saUd Jack Calhouns cannot cheat African
slavery into Kansas, and forty thousand Eli
Thayers cannot force industrious working
freemen into Costa RIGA, or Central Ameri-
ca generally. Washington is the Capital Of
the United States, but 1t is not the Capital Of
the SuE-the Tropical Sun--or OF Ice, or
Snow, or the orange or the banana. To hear
the Fire Eaters and Aboiitionists talk in
Washington, one might suppose Ntggerdom
was the only kingdom--the only dominion
there--but, South, the Sun is the great, the

Speech OF Mr.. Bishop.

Mr.. Bishop, of Connecticut, has distin-
guished himself by sound. candid and con-
elusive speech upon the political obligations
of the two sections TO each other. lie ex-
pressed his regret that Southern members
had drawn contrast between the condition
of the Southern slave and the Northern la
borer, so disparaging to the latter. lie vim
dicsted the North against the charge of ex-
cessive pauperism and crime, and expressed
his own opinions in regard to slavery, which
he condemned as Objectionable in every as
pect; but whilst he avowed a determination
TO oppose slavery wherever be might lawful
ly do SO, be added that there ''was not one
constitutional right, one guarantee which
State sovereignty has thrown around this
Constitution, which | have ever sought, or
which | now seek to interfere with"
We like this candid manner of dealing.
We assure Mr.. Bishop that we do not wish
to impose upon him or his constituents eth
er religious or social opinions which they do
not entertain, and We are equally determin-
ed that doctrines unacceptable to the South
eru States shall never be imposed upon them
by force of Federal law This is practical
non-iutervention.
Whilst Mr.. Bishop avowed bis own oplh-
ions without disguise, he did not hesitate to
chastise, with caustc severity, those who
hypocritically pretend such regard for the
slave that they were willing to overthrow
the Union for his liberation. lie reviewed
the Kansas Constitution to show that slavery
was repeslable by statute law, upon the
ground that the State held all the property
Of its citizens in eminent domain, and could
at any time con6scate private property for
public purposes, making due compensation
for the samel
In word, we know no Northern advocate
Of the admission of Kansas who stands upon
higher ground of principle. He maintains
the rights of the slave States, not because
he approves the institution, but because be
has pledged himself by constitutional COM
pact 10 do so.-Rieh. South.

uenr1-RsndInR Calamity.

Our community was shocked on hearing
on Thursday last, about noon, that Mr. Ju,
MUS NJ. Baylor, eldest son of our respected
townsman, Col George Baylor, had been SO
maugled by being caught in the large wheel
at his fathers Mill, near this place, tina. his
life was despaired of. We have not been
able to learn how the sad calamity occurred,
as our young friend was alone at the time,
but on examination it was ascer:ained that
the left ankle had been broken, and an ar,
terry in the right limb severed. Medical aid
was prompt 10 attendance, but neither medl.
cal aid nor the kind sympathy OF friends
could avail In but few hours after tic &C
cident, the spirit of this amiable and exec
lent young man took its fight-he, having
bled to death.-In the evening his remains
were brought to that home where be Was go
much loved, but now rendered desolate by
this most sad visitation. The warm sympa-
thy ofthis whole community is rendered to
the afflicted parents and friends. The tune
raj sermon will be preached this evening,
FRIDAY at o'clock, by Rev. Mr.. Seiss, OF
the Lutheran Church. -.Stdunton Imd.

father as one Of the subordinate officers OF the
State Senate, and continued to hold the ap.

port of his venerable surviving parent. The
greater part Of his life was devoted to literary
pursuits lie was generally regarded as an
able writer, thoroughly understood the peli-
ties of this country, and was firmly devoted
to the principles Of the Wing party.-BaH.

Intelligence from Frigate Merrimac.

We learn from private letter written On
board the L. 5. steam frigete Merimac, at
Valparaiso, Feb. II, that Capt. Hobbs, OF the
ship Morning Glory, of Boston, was about to
be tried on board the Merrimao for the muir
der of one of his men. No particulars are
given. Previous accounts from the Morn
ing Glory reported that Capt. Hobbs had
had trouble with some of his crew.
The Merrimac arrived at Talcabuana on
the Odd January, and while there one of her
crew got into TN alteration with one OF the
"vig!antes," who struck him on the head
with his sword, which was seized and bro
ken by cOmradc Of the sailor who in turn
heat the "yigilante" over the head with toe
scabbard. A crowd speedily collected and
a general fight epsued, 10 which one of the
Chilians was killed. The citizens then turn
ed out en- masSe upon the Merrimac's meu,
and drove them up to the shore cutting at
them with sabres and peling them with
stones Four of the Merrimac's men were
severely wounded about the head and face,
and one, Peter Dalton, had a piece Of bis
skull forced into his brain. lie underwent
the operation of trepanning, and was in o
fair way to recover.-BOston Journal

A Venture Cor Freedom.

A German, living on the bottom lands op-
poste Leavenwortb City, was arrested lately
on charge Of having, last summer, robbed
store at La Crosse, Wisconsin, and on
searching his premises $4,000 worth Of the
booty was fourd in his truuk. He was ia
ken BY the L nited States Marshal Of Wiscon-
sin aud shackled, and conveyed on q steam:
err down the Missouri river. On the way, as
the steamer was running at full speed, be
escaped by jumping over board with two life
preservers, while the Marshal had gone to
get drink. Whether he survived or was
drowned depends altogether upon the weight
of bis irons and the buoyancy Of the life pre-
servers. No sign OF him could be perceived
10 the river, as it was At p;Ght,
