CALEB AND COMPANY.

We are astonshed at the quantity of incendiary
matter put forth at the recent Union-Saving meet
ing in Boston by venerable and distinguished con-
servatiSes like Edmard Everett and Levi Lincoln.
In referring to John Browns attempt, Mr. Everett
magnfes its character and enlarges upon its crimi-
nality from the circumstance that it took only $50
men in l946 to upset the French monarchy. Mr.
Everett, Mr.. Everett, what are you dOingf What
do you see in shapeof parallel between the oppres-
sions of corrupt and efete dynasty Like that OF
Louis Philippe, and the pstriarcbal institutions OF
virginia, that you should thus intimate that the lat
ter may some day be as suddenly overturned as tho
other by some $50 incendiary reyolutionists Have
we. indeed an institution among US akin to the rule
of the younger branch Of the BourbOns7 Mr.
Everett, if you thought So this no time 10 say
30. What will the South think of such sympathy.
such support as this
Look, too, at the diabolical sentiments expressed
by Old Governor Lincoln. Hear him utter that
outrageous Black Republican doctrine: :" am
- friend to Freedom. would restrict Slavery to
" its narrowest legalized limits and do whatever
" il in my power to removeit from the whole land"
At this most incendiary sentiment we fancy we hear
the whole North cry, Hear, hear" and the whole
South break forth in simultaneous "Oh, oh"-
Call you this backing of your friends gentlemen
conservatives Of Bostonl 1t won't do. 1t won't
DO.
From these fanatieal declarations and intims-
tons, which might have been borrowed from the
most pestiferous Of Republican journals, it Is re-
reshing to turn and listen to the clear clarion ROD
of the voice of the immortal Caleb. General
Cushing, of the American Army and Mr.. Pierces
Cabinet, comes down himself, dressed in yelling

AsLAvEHOLDlNG ANswRR TO ANTI
SLAVERY FACTS.

Hinton r. Helper, when boy of seventeen, be-
came clerk in bookstore in Salisbury, North
Carolina. He remained there for the full term Of
three years for which he was employed, settledw with
his employer, and with his best wishes and esteem,
left for this City, where he arrived in the Spring Of
ESQ. In the Fall Of that year, be here met his old
employer, who greeted him as friend, and TO whom
he then and there was constrained BY his
own conscience TO say " Mr. -, while i
was a clerk in your employ, misled BY bad
advice, aud the assurance that il was usu-
al with clerks TO do so, took money from
''your drawer, 1 prompted BY my wants
- from time to time, until in the whole three years
" the total amount thus taken was $500. That
" sum owe you and am unable now to pay; but
I" rlH pay il il live: here is my note for il till
" can send youihe money" His surprised employer
commended his frankness in making the painful and
unconstrsned avowal assured him that he should
never think the worse but the better of him for the
revelation thus made, took the note, and prom
ised to keep the confession sscredly locked
up in his own breast. Mr.. Helper-hard-
b yet of age-went soon after to California, where
he earned aid RENTED the money be had taken
from bis former employer, with interest to the last
fraction, and has his receipt in full The kindest
relations maintained between them; their init
macy was renewed AFTER Mr.. Helpers return to
North Carolina, and his old employer repeatedly
lent his Endorsement to Mr. H., and had his notes
discounted at the Salisbury Bank. No whisper of
ill-feeng ever arose between them, until Mr. Help

NON-rNTERCOURsR.

The passage from Mr.. Helpers "Crisis' which
has been otenest quoted, in Congress and the Pro
Slavery Journals, as reasonable and abhorrent is
that in which be calls on the cowed and dumb Anti
Slavery w hites of the South to stand by each other
and overthrow the despotism which now brushes
them. Here is his Recommendation:
a. Thorough organisation and independen. political scioa

We copy the above from Mr.. Buchanan's i'm
mediate organ The Coastiuiiop, wherein it has been
Haunted as something awful almost daily for week
past; and turning to the quiet steady old National Ia
tegenetr, ofThursday, we found therenthe proceeds
inipgs of ga large meeting of the citizens of
Westmoreiand County, Virginia, held on the 25th
ult, to express their Indignation, &c, aroused BY
the doings of John Brown" The practical proposi-
tons propounded by this meeting are as fcllows'

These moderate measures they propose to try
as an experiment; which, failing of the desired
effect, they will next resort to Disunion. Such re-
solves are common throughout the Slave States
and were before John Brown ever saw Virginia.
But we never heard that any author or advocate Of
such resolves was ever threatened with the penal
ties of treason, or denied the fellowship of the Ma
tiona Democracy, on that account. Recommended
tons of non-intercOurse are only deemed monstros
and reasonable when they are made 10 opposition

Tested by this rule, Brown must, in ths calm

leQe called attention the charge made by Mr.. Ke
loVQ that Mr. Greeley had had political interview
with Senator Douglas in the stters paflor; and also
had read Mr. Greeey's derial. Dir. Kellogg replied
that Horace Greeley and Senator Douglas had been
put on trl, and he Mr. X gave notice that be would
hereafter prosecute the issue. Mr.. Logan said the
charge was made to injure Mr.. Douglas-who was the
candidate for the Presidency the part OF the great
North Weet--to inure him by assoclating him with
Mr. Greeley. Mr.. l.. declared that he would never
again notice Mr.. Kellogg, who, he said, when
called upon for proof of his charges, like spaniel
shrank into a corner. At this point Mr. Kellogg rose
from his ses and, if with hostile intent, advanced
toward Mr.. Logan who put himself into defensive
attitude. Members in the immediate vicinity seized
upon both to restrain them, and much excitement pre-
vailed throughout the Hall. The Clerk called loudly
for order. and Messrs. X and l.. being widely sePa-
rated. Mr.. Logan continued his remarks, announcing
that he was perfectly COOL Mr.. Morris called Tor the

Kisses in the galleries and the floor Mr. Logan pro-
nounoed Mr.. Kelloggs charge false in every respect
Mr.. McClernand produced letter from AIR. Douglas

the floor reprobating the action Of the Republican

We do not intend to sit up with the Union SIN
ole night this Winier--not one We need the time
for sleep good deal more than the Union needs
our nursing We quite well understand that there
is soon to be some ground and lofty tumbng IN the
Dissolution line of Washington and further South;
but we have no mind to assist at the performance.
If there is to be any paradng out of the Represen-
tatyes' Hall, we insist that those engaged in 1t
shall forfeit their pay thenceforth until they shall
see fit to resume their seats and undertake TO be-
have themselves. Spare diet is an excellent seda-
tive for infammable, cholers natures, and is
a remedy neither expensive nor sanguinary. Let it
have fair trial.
But there are people laboring under concern OF
mind for the Union, and afraid that it is on the
verge of disruption. To these we would address
few frank words.
The child that has learned that hearty cry viii
bring anything it may choose to have, is already half
spoiled and all but ungoyernsble. Let il be under

the Southern negroes and newspapers-haye Only

Everetts, Hiram Ketchums and Joe Ingersolls to

part Of our Northern Conservatives that creates all
the danger of Dissolution that exists.
As the cities that trade largely with the South

the throne of King Cotton, We desire to make
this truth so plain that nobody hereafter can fail to
see it.
A planter grows cotton and sells it, but never
thinks of selling beresith his principles, or in any
manner accommodating his convictions or their
ayowal to the prepossessions of the prospective
