people, being endowed with perceptlVe anu lelieS
tive faculties would have au opinion, and haT-
ing one, would express it on this as on all other
subjects. What else could be expected or de-
sired by people of common sense! The ques-
ton of the permanency or extension OF slavery
In this country, is one of dollars and cents. Its
continuance in this State is obviously of that
character Those presses and those people at
the extreme South, OF at the extreme North,
who expect to settle it upon any other basis
have mistaken, as we said before, the practical
conditions which environ the relations OF the
two races.
Let it be shown, or rather let the fact show
itself in other places, it is doing in the North
ern-s Southern Slave States, such as Maryland,
Virginia. Kentucky and Missouri, that negro
labor is blight and curse to our best interests
then comes the public opinion that is now, and
will continue to drive it from out our borders.
As the legions of white emigration advance
Westward and Southwark, so does the genius of
white blood supplant the cumberous system of
serf labor. All attempts to stay this eating
out process by vain denunciation, are as nom
sensical and powerless as was the voice of
Canute to the waves of the sea, when he illus
trated to his courtiers how well he understood
their empty compliments to his omnipotence,
by commanding the waters to be stayed
L1rrLE's L1vrxo AGE-Among the many ex-
celent Reviews, Magazines, and other periodicals
which we find continually upon our table, none
are more welcome than the Living Age. The
work is issued every Saturday, eight pages,
double columns, II cents each, or So per annum,
postpaid to any address. 1t is work that sup
plies the very marrow and essence Of all the re-
nowned British periodical literature of the day,
consisting of the elaborate and stately essays of
the quarteTlies, the mastery criticisms of Black
wood and the lighter articles Of Dickens
s'Household Words and scores of other popu-
lar Journals; its contents being not ouly of
interest today, but of imperishable value. The
numbers for the year, forming large octave vol
umes, present a complete Encyclopaedia of Lit
erature rejecting the spirit and genius of the
age in which we live. To say that such work
is Indispensable to every library, is not enough:
it is an essential to every intelligent family cir
Gle. to professional men, and to all who are edu
eating themselves. Many of the representative
men of our country have borne the strongest
testimony to its superiority; among them, j, Q.
Adams, Henry Clay. Daniel Webster, Choncel-
lor Kent, Prof Sparks, Justice Story, w. II.
Prescott, Geo Bancroft, Geo. Tcknor, Bishop
Potter, Rev Dr. Bethune, Rev. Albert Barnes,
&c.

GREAT is the swill milk excitement in New
York. Frank Leslies exposure of the milk bus
mess, sickened the town. Hundreds of families
ceased at once to take milk until they could make
Investigations as to its source. Many milk wag-
ons returned to their places of supply full
Frank Leslie carries on the war. The owners
of some of the swill-fed cows appeal to the May
or of New York to visit their stables and see for
himscfthat there is nothing there so bad as Frank
Leslie has represented. Frank at address
ed himself to the Mayor after this manner:
1.-THE stables have been purified of their filth,
the diseased COWS have been sent away, sold to
the butchers. or removed by the official con-
tractor, dead, aud over one hundred and fifty
feet of the drtiest and most decayed part of the
COW stables pulled down, and all this has been
| done within few days, in anticipation OF and
preparatory to your visit ofinspection.'
| The New York Tribunes reporters corrobo-
rate these statements Of Leslie. 1t appears that
the swill mikmen are alarmed. They feared
mobs, tar and feathers fire and whatever might
suggest itself to an outraged and indignant COM
munity.
