did well to make the desperate Casey, in Un7.
Gle Tom, 3 mulatto. She was notfan5 exagger-
atedstype And sit is notorious that not only
Legree, butthat thousands of otherlmens in the
South, readily spay premium for such high
strung creatures as Casey, for they minister
more Yoluptuously and enticingly to theirzcar-
nal and mentalslusts than the dronish black
girl. Thomas Jeferson's private letters showed
that he was experimentally acquainted with this
dangerous fusion, andiit lends force to his OBJ
Eseryations, however mueh.it may detract from
his morals.
Butswe cannot pu:sue this subject further to-
more .imesfor proper elaboration than We can
bring toitnow. We are greatly IN hopes, as
indeed We have been for some time back, thatlt
will ere long elicit attention from our more ex-
perienced and sagacious public men. And al
though it has more than its usual force and in
terest just at this time, yetit isnone the less
an every day and permanent subject, calling for
our constant attention
No SOONER has Horace Greeley. after his ar.
rival from Cali ornia. had good cup of coffee,
and nights sound sleep, than off he hieshi

hat under the table, tucks thelong tails sofhis
notable old white coat within the arms of, the
chair wherein he plants himself, and, with pen

him, with increased vigor and effect, the intense
1 lightnings and thunder ofan indignant admins
tration, and, not only this, but he has at length
incensed the whole Republican party into open
and bitter warfare against him. After being
fairly overwhelmed Gas we candidly confess by
Judge Black, then after having all the non-so-
liabilities and absurdites and illegaities of his
labored manifesto set forth in strong light by
numberless editors and speecll-makers of.the
Opposition, he has at last to undergo the disa-
greeable performance of faying alive, atithe
hands Of Greeley.
Greeley addresses him by the way of a letter.

and "to exclude ittherefrom." This, the National
13igencer time ago, very fully and elabo-
rately proved, but Horace goes over the groipd
anew stating the history ofthe matter briefly,
clearly, and with precision, and; aading to the
lpalpable deductions, some of h7s own pointed
and cutting comments.
In what predicamentd do we now find Doug
las? Hell at war, in his political tenets, with.
almost the entire South. Heis equally at war
with the vast Republican organization of the
A North, and with a large I've believe We are safe
in saying the larger portion of the Democratic
party of the North;-certainly with that por-
ton which is distinctively known as the ADJ
ministration party. To our mind the question
lof slavery in the territories is reduced to this

Then there exists buta single issue between the
two parties; $itlsga broad one, and admits Of no

assumed. Onthis singh issue we need not tell

opinion as We have, that Douglas is altogether
