Helper and his Book.

The Black Republicans have been pecu-
liarly unfortunate in their instrumentalities
OF late. 1t has been certainly ascertaned
that their old man Brown was liberator of
horses as we'll as of negroes in Missouri, and
that he was guilty of the most diabolical
murders and robberies in Kansas. And
now it appears that their man HINTON
Rowan HELPER, alias Heller, was a thief
in North Carolina, and is to-day fugitive
from justice. The following exposure of
him is by the Raleigh IN. c. Standard:
This man Hinton r. Heller, as we have
said is native of this State. He is
thief and a scoundrel. While employed
some years since in Salisbury as a clerk, he
robbed his employer. The fact was pr owed
on him, and we believe he himself admitted
it, and offered some lame excuse for his
picking and stealing" He was exposed
some two years ago in Congress by one of
our Senators, Mr.. Biggs, whose statements
where he is known are implicitly relied or.
That exposure is part of the Congress
ional records, and may he examined by
Helfer's abolition friends. We cannot just
now lay our hands upon it, but we will
reproduce it in some future number, to show
how and by what high authority this mise
"a BILE traitor has been exposed and branded

Let it not be forgotten that Irving is
native OF our own New York. Like Chau-
Ger, and Milton, and Pope, and Gray, his
birthplace was in the heart of city. Among
the Greeks, when victor returns from the
Olympian games, the citizens of his own
home esteemed his prizes their own, went
out to welcome his return, and would even
break down the walls to receive him in
greater triumph Our Irving has wrestled
in the game of life and come off the conque-
ror ; he has gone to his long home; on the
miidest of winter days, we have surrounded
him with flowers, and laid him among his
kindred, and his spirit in its flight has been
borne upward on the affections of countless
multitudes. What shall we do to mark for
him our generation and love? He gave to
this city of merchants fame throughout the
world of letters. Will not, then, the mer-
chants of this city raise to his memory a
statute of purest marble? 1t would be the
payment of debt to his fame, just tribute
to his virtues, lesson to rising generations.
Fathers might then take their sons to gaze
on his llneaments, and say, "There is the
man who during more than fifty years en-
ployed his pen as none other could have done,
and in that time never wrote one word that
was tainted by skepticism, nor one line that
was not as chaste and pure as the vioets of
Spring"

The RIGHT SENTIMENr.-The Boston
Post, in its call for a public meeting, (which
will reassure the men of the South that we
will stand between them and red.throated
rebellion" truthfully says:
"The North is in the wrong. They of the
Republican majority are the aggressors.
They are the oppressive majority. They
have set on foot the robbery, the murder,
the treason. The conservative minority are
not in fault. The Democrats of the North
are not in fault. The awful responsibility
is not theirs. More than all, the Democrats
Of Nev England, SO far from being an the
avrong, intend to live under this Constitution,
maintain this Union, and protect Southern
rights and Southern men; and they wiW do
At, If need be, wth arms in their hands.
Whenever the contest comes between the
South and Republican fanaticism, the
Democrats of the North will be with the
South. Whenever the fanatics arm to fight
the South, that instant will they find foe
in New England, in men who will live under
this Constitution, and will live in union
with the South. Wendell Phillips and his
Republican cohorts will never get out of
New England to fight anybody. They will
rather at the point of the bayonet be driven
into the sea by the outraged men who love
the Union and cherish the memories of the
Revolution"

The SUPREME CoERT AND THE PRESIDENT
-lu conformity to custom, but not less in
compliance with their own sentiments of
respect for the Chief Magistrate of the ma
ton, the venerable Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States, and
his Associate Justices who had arrived in
time for the opening of the Court-namely,
Judges Nelson, Grier, Clifford, and Camp
bell, paid their respects yesterday to Presi-
dent Buchanan.
The interview was most agreeable one
on both sides and it may easily be inn
agined that, at this crisis, could the PUBLIC
have read the hearts of that learned and
distinguished company, they would have
rejOiced that, amidst the rage of factions,
the EXECUTIVE and the JUDICIARY of the
nation are in the hands of men who think
only of their WHOLE COUNTRY, the UNION
and the CONSTITUTION.
The VICE PREsIDENT-Mr. Brecken.

adjournment of the Senate yesterday, to call

Southern Support of Douglas.

The Quitman (Miss.) Aduertiser and the
Macon Beacon both warmly advocate the
nomination of STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS for the
Presidency. The advertiser, in late article
coinciding with the Beacon, says:
Mr.. Douglas is now the most prominent man
before the people, and that he comes nearer
concentrating the Democracy at the North than
any other man, no one will dispute that
Democratic President cannot be elected without
the aid of the Northern Democracy is also
fact beyond dispute; then comes the question
of availability, which has ever been one of the
chief inquiries of the Democratic party, in Sc.
curing all their victories. Then, if Mr.. Douglas
can unite the Democracy at the North, Gndeed
we have the most conclusive evidence that he
is the greatest favorite,) and lift is not possible
for Southern statesmen to effect the same oh
ject, (Of which there seems but little chance at
this juncture of affairs,) why, then, should the
South, upon question OF the merest abstr &C
ton, sacrifice their only hope of defeating a
Black Republican, and thereby bring about
that state of affairs, IN view of which thousands
are to-day camoring for the dissolution of our
Union and the subversion of our Government!
The course of the Southern opposition to Mr..
Douglas does seem most suicidal, in view of
Southern interest. The South has one great
and dangerous enemy; that enemy is the Black
Republican party. The man whom that party
fears and hates most, outside of the South. is
Stephen A. Douglas; and why do they fear
and why do they hate him? The answer to this
question should speak volumes to the people
of the South; yea, it should sink into every
heart, and there kindle the smoulderng embers
of gratitude and awaken a people TO just
appreciation of him who has made his greatest
sacrifices in their behalf.
Judge DOUGLAS strength at the South is
rapidly increasing. The howl of opposition
is dying away, and is mostly confined to
those who hate DOUGLAS because be can
beat the Republicans, and secure the pres
ervation of the Union, which they desire to
destroy.

slave labor. We have therefore the fact
that out of $278, 1872, $50, of exports of do
nestle industry over $2OO,OOO,OO0 Of this
sum is furnished by those States known as
slave States.
We might prolong this article with many
reflections which these facts awaken. We
might point to other facts connected with
the subject to show the interested depend
ence ofone section upon another, apart from
the produce which each sends abroad. We
might at some length and with some feeling
portray the folly of continuing our discus
sion and discords, as sections of this great
Republic. But we forbear. We submit
these figures and facts for those who think
and are governed by reason, no matter
where their lot has been cast, whether
North or South, East or West.

A NEGRO PA1NTER.-The Mobile Mercu.
ry gives the following illustration of African
genius: At the late Fair of the West
Alabama Agricultural Society, held at
Dempolis, premium of silver cup was
awarded to E. T. PAGE, of Mobile, for
portrait of Hon. F. S. LYON. The artist is
a colored man, formerly barber on Royal
street. He is of unblemished character, of
strict integrity, and highly esteemed by his
white acquaintance. Portrait painting
seems to be natural gift to PAGE, which
he has pursued, so far as we know, without
any instruction. Such illustrations in the
African race occasionally occur among us,
as If to remind the world that the South is
the region where they are protected and
fostered, and all the worth of their charac.
ter is encouraged to developed itself.

real consideration for these bends is the
money given for them by capitalists to en-.
aole the Companies to build their roads.
They were issued, and made negotiable,
for that purpose, and With full knowledge
that they would be so applied, and the
amendment, instead of being notice that the
State would not pay them in any event, is
notice that the State will hold itself ulti-
mately liable for them at all events. So far
from its warning the purchasers of the
bonds that the State will resort to the
disreputable subterfuge of pleading, falsely,
want of power of taxation, or pretended
failure of consideration, it pledges that faith
and credit of sovereign State, the wilful
violation of which no State ever has, or ever
will, survive and prosper.

Scrofula. or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, corruption OF the
blood. by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out in
disease on any part of it. No organ is free from
its attacks. nor is there one which it may not
DESTROY. The scrofulous taint is variously caused
by mercurial disease, low living, disortered or
unhealthy food impure air, filth, and filthy
habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, br
the yenereal infection. Whatever be its origin,
il is hereditary in the constitution, descending
i" from parents to children unto the third and
fourth generation;" +" indeed it seems to be the
rod of Him who says, Il will visit the iniqutics
of the fathers upon their children.
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, IN
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, Is termed
tubercles in the glands, swellings; and on the
surface, eruptions or sores. Ihls foul corrup-
ton, which eenders in the blood depresses the
energies of life, so that scrofulous constitutions
not only suffer from scrofulous complaints but
they have far less power to withstand the attacks
of other diseases consequently, vast numbers
perish by disorders which, although not scrofu-
ious in their nature arc still rendered fatal by
this taint in the system. Most of the consump-
ton which decimates the human family has Its
origin directly in this scrofulous contamination
and many destructive diseases of the liver, kid
news. brain, and, indeed, of all the organs arise
from or are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking mfec'
ton, and their health is undermined by it. To
cleanse it from the system we must renovate the
blood by an Alternative medicine, and invigorate
it by healthy food and exercise. Such medl-
cine we supply in

from the most active remedials that have been
