TIE SLAVE TRADE.

A few sensation papers, and fewer gas
eouS politicians, have, for some time,
been agitating the question Of reopening
this traffic. 1t is an injudicious patriot
ism that counsels opposition to The law
Of the land, and encourages what that
law says is piracy. The Eastern Ga
rion has very sensible article on the
subject, in which we find the following !:
"The question is not properly to be
argued upon economical considerations,
as its advocates would have us do
However it may be regarded in this light,
that does not touch the enquiry which
has first to be met--that enquiry is wheth-
er the people of the South regard
the reopening of the African Slave
Trade as matter of sufficient Importance
to dissolve the Union in order to effect
it. 1t amounts in fact to proposition to
dissolve the Union, for the purpose of i'm
porting Africans into the South. No
body can possibly believe that the trade
will ever be legalized in the Union, and
if the South should become united in fa-
vor of Of the traffic, and proceed to au-
tborizc it, q contest with the federal gov
ernment would be produced which could
only end in dissolution. The question
then boiled down, is as we have stated.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that per Sc
disunionists should advocate the measure.
We regard the agitation of the subject
at this time, as peculiarly unfortunate
1t will strengthen abolitionism and en-.
danger the Presidential election. 1t d.
vides the South, when she has need to
stand as one man in view of the darken-
ing future which lies before her. 1t is
to all intents and purposes an impracti-
cable question SO long as our present con-
federacy exists, and its agitation can re-
suit only in mischief"
In the same article Simeon INDUCES
in little satire upon those wind bags
who are always ready to talk but never
do. Simeon sayeth:
at seems to us, however, they might
find better grounds upon which to make
the issue of disunion than one which in
wolves a violation of law on the part of
the South, which thus places her in the
wrong, and upon which she does not now,
and never will stand united"

or" SNoBBERY" has been aptly de.
scribed by an exchange, when it says that
it is an institution that don't pay in this
country. Those who affect to turn up
their noses at others, simply because they
follow an honest calling, or do not happen
to wear store clothes" of the Xxx order,
are really themselves objects of contempt
Besides, change is written on all terres-
trial arrangements and those who are up
permost to-day may be down tomorrow.
Mrs. Sophtpaight (Softpate) who fifteen
years ago would not allow her children
to play with those of mechanics, is row
in the retail washer-woman business. while
her dear Arabella' is now chambermaid
on flat-boat, and Clarence Augustus
occupies the responsible post of sergeant
alarms to manure cart.

was one. a merchant-prince,w who made il ~
boast that he had never given away shi

me to yoh for another. She says YOU have
enough gold to build II sty Wild and will be
>ure 10 give me - IltiIe." AT fl o., old hard
fi-t refused; upon Which Paddy threw him
sell OH stool, and SAIL such n pi,eous wall
that The MERCHANT, thinking lle was mad
about the deatl, of his pig, gave him the
pound TO get quit OF him. Next day the
proprietor OF the deunct porker was passing
tile Warehouse, and seeing lis beucfactor al
the door, pulled his hat to him. "Weil,

Influence Of fMusic.-Napoleou, confes
sedly the most consummate commander
that ever lifted the sword, who by his tao.
tics out-generaled all Europe, had strict
regard to pieces which were played by the
soldiers on particular occasions. Certain
tunes were prohibited others used only for
the final charge, retained, perhaps, only to
let loose with reserved corps; and Il is
stated, on making the famous passasgo
the Alps, under circumstances the most ap-
paiing and dreadful, if the soldiers ct any
time hesitated in their march. he ordered
The buglers to sound their liveliest notes :
and il the obstacle was so great as to bring
the army to dead halt, the whole band
were ordered 10 peal forth the charges to
battle, which never failed to bear them
over tho most formidable difficulties.
