Or, in other words, they are willing to
use him, but he must take his place in the
ranks, while the honors ate reserved for
Ghe older and ADLER soldiers in the cause
What pitiablc spectacle is this transition
of Governor of the proud Old Common
wealth of Virginia, into the second fiddle
of Seward, Hale, Giddings, &C., in their
efforts TO degrade and subjugate his own

says the battlcagainst the South i. aIreody
aco',; !; that the North has the majority in
both houses OF Congress, and sixteen to fif-
teen States; and that, despite Administra,
tlons aud Democracy, that section will i'm
year, have nineteen to fifteen States. These
are pregnant ,focts The equilibrium of
the Union is gone forever; the South is in
minority and will be governed under
Northern prodominaucc Southern repre-
scntation will be powcrless, and sclf-gov-
government only nominal and the actual
governing sentiment of the Confederacy
will be Free soil and Abolition.
These plain truths can no longer be ig-
norcd by either Southern agricultural apa-
thy or commercial subserviency The doc
trine of the North is the rule of the major
ity, not of the Constitution, Republican
ism Is founded upon the protection of the
popular minority by Constitutional gu,ran-
tees. The clements are in conflict North
crn rights are those of power, Southern
rights are paper rights, under the present
Confectionery. Will the South consent to
go to the wall" or will she determine to
govern, cherish and protect herself?

WuITE SLAVERY IN ENoLAND.-T
following paragraphs taken from u North
ern journal, are sharp commentary on the
hypocritical professions of English phian-
thropy. Without going quite SO far in
dcnunciation of royalty aud its present rep
rcscntatiyc in England as our cotemporary,
it is seasonable and proper to remark this
"feature" of "institution'' in Great Britain
The English papers are making n great
fuss over the magnifoenco of the attire of
the daughter of the Queen of England on
the occasion of the marriage; and among
the articles Cotton up for the particular af-
fair was lace veil, stsplendidly worked"
the cost of which was $500, or exactly
$3.50, and the Journal gives fair speci
men of the beauties of English white slave
ry 1t says, to make up the splcndor of
this well, which cost the $3.50, it took the
laborofiifty girls for twelvemontlls- most
unfortunate expose of the grinding system
of English white slavery.
Fifty girls worked one year on that veil {;
and supposinG the material tocost nothing,
these fifty girls, with talent enough to win
by the "artistic" lubors of their fingers the
appreciation of the Queen of tho richest
kingdom upon earth, earned each less than
thcsum of $50, for the twelve weary months,
of stitch, stitch, stitchy4on the veil. of the
daughter of Victoria, the wife of Prince
Frederick William of Prussia The blacks
cost their masters four times this sum to
feed and ciothe them. Fifty-ninc dollars
year is 81, l3 per week, with which these
poor girls have been forced to pay their
board and clothc themselves. What can
more forcibly illustrate the villainy of roy
atty than the thousands of pounds spent on
one of Victoria s daughters, aud the starv-
ing pittance bestowed upon other girls as
good as herself!
ANOTHER 'IsM, "a sect calling them
selves "testitutionists" has sprung up in
Worcester. They believe that what man
lost in the fall is now beginning to be ros-
tored, and that everything is to come back
