FALSE PRDE.-"Uncle Jeems," writing from
Charleston, S. G., to country paper, notes the
rival in that city Of two school teachers from the
North and remarks:
We have much available talent in the South, but
fear there is too much pride in the way. can
no more discredit in female teaching for live
lihood than for her husband to be working for liv
ing. There are, fear, many young ladies of edu-
cation who, while they might be contributing to
the dignity and independence of the South, by en-
gaging in some occupation where they are needed
though they may feel ever so patriotic allow us to
seek the services of those North of u.s. whose inter-
ests mustbe more OF less antagonstic to our inst-
buttons, simply because false pride will allow them
anything assimlating to servitude. This is great
error. True dignity arises from the ashes of the
spot on which we build the fires that illume and
cheer, and warm the friends who surround u.s. ITO
do good and to communicate, forget not" is an in
junction Of Holy Writ; and it would be well for us
to shake Oft our lethargy, and rise to true know
ledge and sense of onr position and duty.

WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS DONE FOR
SLAvERY-The opposition papers are again shedding
hypocritical tears over the slavery agitation They
assert that but for this hobby the Democratic party
would perish. They tell us that this agitation is
the breath on which live. If opposition to slav-
cry gives life to Black Repubiicanism, maintenance
and agitation of constitutional rights should also
give vitality to the Democratic party.
We own to the soft impeachment, that the agta-
ton of the slavery question gives strength to Demo-
crazy, and JUSTLY too, for the Democratic party has
given strength to the institution of slavery, and it
is natural Just and proper that the same institution
should give back corresponding support. The Dc
mocratic party has done much for slavery. Strike
off Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Florida and Louis-
from the of slave territory, and what would
be the power of the South or the value Of her
slaves? Not only have their immense cotton re-
sources helped to make up her undoubted weight
over the balance of civilization, but their fields
have kept slave labor from being redundant and so
have made slave property valuable Does anybody
doubt this =? Let him conceive that all the slaves
now spread over those States were crowded back
upon the older part of the Union, which sent them
there. Let them go into the future, and conceive
of the vast part of their surface yet untouched,
which is to receive its labor from the same source
and think what the old States would be without
them, with all the increase of their slaves fifty
years hence? To people feverish even now for
more territory, more room for slavery what thoughts
does such question suggest? Yet these, all of
these, are the acquisition of Democratic statesman
ship, against the protest and denunciation of the
very opposition which now pirates about agitation.
The Democratic party has historic credit for the
acquisition of Texas. If this State alone were to
shut her borders and send back the slaves within
her midst, the Democracy would in that event, re-
ceive the credit to which they are entitled. This
day the high prices which slaves command is
through the instrumentality of Democratic policy
and craftsmanship. We repeat, then, that the par
ty intends to keep up the agitation, since it has
lanche.

N shaded nook by a crystal brook
Sat little Elsie Gray,
And fairest flowers from woodland bowers.
Wove in garland gay.
And she did not smile, but her song the while,
Stole on the evening air;
And many trace on her little face,
Told much of early care.
"Sweet flowers away ere the close of day.
Was little Elsie's song,
Az the wreath at last on the brook she cast,
why linger here 50 long"
Away to the sea token from me
To those who slumber there;
Go garland the head of the early dead,
And "fath,r's"s liver hair
Por they rest tonight midst The sea weed bright,
Their winding sheetthe wave,
Together they sleep where the wild winds sweep,
Around their dark sea grave.
Go, Irvine with the pearls in the golden curls,
Upon my brothers brow:
Go. tell him each dav. am fading away.
Asye are fading now!
Oh! I often dream when the pale stars CLEAN
There is no cid dark sea!
And all are at home no longer to roam
Away from the old roof tree,
But soon am awake, my cold limbs ache,
And l long to be at rest,
Ny father with thee in the deep blue sea.
u on my mothers breast
mast linger awhile poor orphan child
And suffer day by day,
With no one to bless or gently caress
Poor little Elsie Grays
When the arrow flies and the sparrow dies,
God sees il in the sky,
And know when weep while others sleep
IT'S noticed by his eye.
Oh! He is my friend and he will defend,
The Orphan night and day:
Though others neglect there's One to protect
