Cause Of the Massa chuseats
Amendment.

WARRINGTON, the able Boston cores
pendent of the Springfield (Mass) Repub-
Hcon says:-
''The real basis and meaning of the
vote for the two ye rs amendment is hate
towards the Irish. Whether We inherit
this from our British ancestors, or wheth-
er it grows out of the competition between
the Irish and the lower ranks of Ameri-
eau laborers, does not matter. A great
deal of it comes from the dislike and fear
of Cath olicism which our New England
divines formerly took SO much pains to
cultivate. Let it come from whence it
may, it Is essentially mcan,. cowardly and

The Storm.

The great storm which swept over this
section Of our country about week ago,
has caused an almost unparalleled destruc-
ton of property. The great boom Of the
St. Anthony Mil Company was broken,
and vast amount oflumber carried away.
The storm ragged with such violence that
roofs were torn from buildings and in
some instances buildings were demolished.
From all points On the river we hear of
great destruction Of property, lumbermen
being generally the principal sufferers.

The slave Trade.

We were much surprised, on reading the
last Ashland Times, to learn that the Ashland
Union is Gin favor of Slavery, and the revival
of the Slave Trade" There is certainly a
mistake about this, as our readers we'll know.
The revival of this trade would doubtless be
a very good measure for the African, as it has
been in times past-but we should now regard
the scheme as fatal to the interests of the
white race. The Ashland Union is in favor
of sending Africans the other way. Republi-
cans who idolize the everlasting niger, and
who never can have too much of him, should
be the only party that would favor the import
alton of more slaves. Democrats already have
trouble enough, in all conscience, to keep in
order the>negros and Republicans who are al
ready here. Republicans may continue to
clamor against the admission of any more Slave
States. Democrats will go against the admis-
sion of any more negroes. The negro has been
a great Constitution" for political demagogues,
but the country and The. Democratic Party
have had quite enough of him, without wish
ing to enlarge his dimensions.
