Don't WORRY.-When Bulstrode Whitelock
was embarked as CromwelPs envoy to Sweden
In 1903, he was much disturbed in mind as he
rested IN Harwich on the preceding night, which
was very stormy, while he reflected on the dis.
tracted state of the nation. 1t happened that a
confidential servant slept in an adjacent bed,
who, finding that his master could no. sleep.
said: ~
Pray, sir, will you give me leave to ask you
question
Certainly"
Pray, sir, don't you think God governed the
world very well before you came into it?"
Undoubtedly"
And pray, sir, don't you think that He will
govern it as we'll when you are gone out of itPn
" Certainly"
linen, Sir, pray excuse me, but don't you
think you may as well trust him to govern il as
long as you liver"
10 this question Whitelock had nothing to
reply; but turning about, soon fell asleep. till he
was sommoned to embark.

fisiOu W WHICH,, uHuT Jut CONSTITUTION, any
changes can be made, hereafter to affect the
condition of the slaves now within the Territory.
and their descendants. Not only till 1864, but
to the end of time, is the existence of Slavery
secured by this Constitution. Though the "Con-
stitution with no Slavery" be adopted. il wiz be
with the condition "that the right Of property in
slaves, now in this Territory, shall in no manner
be interfered with; and as it respects the futare,
under this Constitution, it is provided that. ater
1854, when the Constitution may be altered in
all other respects, "no alteration shall be made
to affect the rights of property in the ownership
OF slaves" Thus the people are to be bound
hand and foot, and few interlopers and MIS-
creants, assembled at Lecompton. in 1857. will
control the millions of people who are to inh.bit
that broad and beautiful land for ages and ares.
And this is Democracy; the Democracy of
Slavery This kind of Democracy-not that of
washington and Jeherson-is fast disappearing
from our section of the country. Men in the free
North cannot stand it. They are so much alarm-
ed by its doctrines, that they will not only re,u-
date it for the present and future but be anxious
to prove that they never had anything to do with
1t their lives long. This Democracy of Slavery
will hereafter be In use only as warning or a
fright, and will operate ss efectually to preserve
our public domain against the ravaees of Slavery
as the scarecrow set up last summer by one of
our down-east farmers did, to protect his CORN
held against the depredations of the crows. 1t
was so hideous and terrible, that it not only
kept the crows off this year, but frightened then. 50
oddty mat mey droaght back the corn they stole last
year.
Dir, the constitution with no Slavery is
held, by those who ought to know, to be the
best form of Pro-Savery Constitution. See
what is said by correspondent of the Jackson
Missi''lp'on, writing from Lecompton, on the 9th
of November last:
you see that whilst by submitting the question
lhls tney are bound have rattle alton of the
one or the other and that while seems tn he an

DIsHoNoRABLE DIssMULATIoN.-Tbe
editor of the Rockport Democrat discloses
a piece of base treachery and .dissimula-
ton. He says while at Indianapolis on
the 23d Of February, Mcclure and Dodd
who were nominated by the 9th Of JAM
uary Convention, gave Mr.. Hicks most
extraordinary explanation OF their note
to the editor of the Volksblat, explaining
their position on the Kansas question,
and their version Of Wallace's resolution.
"They said that they only intended in
that Card, to give their opinion as to the
meaning Of the Wallace resolution, not
to endorse the resolution ITSELF" A
grosser attempt to mislead and deceive
the people has never been confessed by
profigate and unprincipled politicians.

The CINCINNATI CRY ELECTION gives
another signal rebuke Of Lecompton
Democracy by the people. Such com
plete overthrow and perfect rout has not
been sustained by the Office holders in
that city since the palmiest days of the
old Wing rule in that city. The mu-
nicipal elections that have occurred in
several Of the Western States give sig.
niicant indications of the popular feeling
upon the principle subject Of political
agitation. They are a warning to the
Lecomptonites of what awaits them in
the autumn, if they do not confess and
reform.

MIR. DAVIS, who has during the winter
furnished our section of country with large
number of servants from the Eastern cities,
greatly to the advantage and satisfaction of
both employers and employees-is still en-
gagged in furnishing help of all descriptions
both male and female-to all who need them.
Last week he brought on company of
thirty three men and women, consisting of
mechanics, farm laborers, and house serv-
ants, all Of whom were furnished with good
places here and at the towns on the river be-
low. Mr.. Davis returned to New York yes
terday with orders for larger number than
he has brought on in any former trip. His
orders embrace every description of persons,
clerks, mechanics, farmers, laborers, seam
stresses, house.servanfs, and children. Among
the latter he has orders for two infants, or
phans, not to be over twelve months old,
who are to be adopted by families not
blessed with offsprings of their own. We are
glad to hear that Mr.. Davis finds liberal
compensation in his benevolent laborS, which
is really doing more good than many of the
boosted charities Of the day, and that he will
continue his labors till tho demand for labor
shall BE fully supplied in this section of the
country. The offers from the emigrants in
New York 20 como West is greater than at
any former period. Mr.. Davis will return
with his new company in about two weeks,
when he will be ready to take further orders.
He has given entire satisfaction as far as we
have heard, from all who have had any deal
ings with him in his line Of business. He

MURDER OF SLAvE.--A trial of Pc
culiar interest has just terminated at
Sandersville, GA, in which Green Mar
tin was convicted Of the murder Of his
own slave--a negro boy, IL years old
by the infection Of inhunan punishment,
which was performed on the 9th of May,
1857, commencing at II o'clock and
lasting until 5 p. NJ, when the boy was
discovered to be dead. The whipping
and beating was executed by the person
above named and his son together--th
latter, however, left the State and was
not brought to trial. The Central Geor-
gian states::that the material witnesses in
the case were Mr.. Martins own daugh
ters. aged respectively 81, 1e, and 10
who were introduced by the prosecution
to convict their awn fatler Of murder
and by their own testimony he was
found guilty.

MUTUAL CONDENSATION SocYxTY

MUTUAL CoMMIsERArIoN SOCIETY,"
1t was reported on the streets yesterday
that the defeated candidates were about
to form a mutual Conmiseration Associ-
alton. No one will be admitted to men,
bership except those who ran for office
on Monday, and were defeated. The So
ciety will be devoted to the cultivation
of aggravated misery. No coincidence
will be allowed, but each member will
be required to expatiate at length, upon
the heartlessness Of the world, the ingrat
itude of the "sovereigns," the fickleness
OF voters, and the depravity Of human
nature generally. Meetings will be held
at the Salt Well, as the waters Of that
spring are supposed to contain some OF
the rare properties Of the waters of Salt
river. Mr.. Schmuck, of the yolksbote,
will be President, by virtue Of GA MAJOR
ity received by his opponent Wolflin.
The other offices will be filled by Evans,
Walker and Mc'Avoy, and the eighteen
councilmen who were elected not to sit
upon the Council, will form the rank
and file of this praiseworthy and humane
association. We are informed couiden
TALLY, that the motto Of the society will
be Republics are ungrateful." Laugh
ter will be prohibited under the penalty
Of heavy fine. No lighter drink thar
lager beer is allowed, and no member o
the society will ever be expected to rur
again for office. If the members of ths
Association adhere to this last principle
they will all eventually become wiser
and better men.
