Southern Sentiment and the African
Slave Trade.


The recent audacious violations of the
Federal laws against the African slave
trade, and the movements Of few south
ern extremists in favor of the repeal Of
those laws, have had the effect TO awaken
southern conservative sentiment on the
whole question, which, looking to the
the southern press rs the exponent OF IL,
must be nearly the unanimous sentiment
of the entire South. The southern press,
with scarcely half dozen exceptions, has
reprobated with great earnestness the
scheme for reopening the African slave
trade, and condemned in fitting terms the
late Illicit imporations of African savages.
In this connection, fact is stated by the
Savannah (Ga.) Republican of which we
were moi aware. 1t is that the constitu-
ton Of Georgia forbids the African slave
trade. The temper of the Savannah print,
in mentioning that fact, is in keeping with
the admirable tone of the southern press
generally: bet. Free Press.
"But the argument Of the friends of
law and order, in the case now claiming
public attention, docs not stop here. =
There is higher and more sacred ground
that they occupy, one to which there can
be no demurrer, sopbistical or otherwise,
and from which they can appeal to the
sense of right and loyalty of every Geor-
gian. Granting, for the argument, that
the North has violated her constitutional
obligations that her bad faith has reliev-
ed us from our share Of the compact, and
that the Federal government has forfeited
the respect and allegiance of southern
men-let all these things be So there yet
remains upon the citizens of Georgia n
prohibition which no man will dare say
he has right to set aside. The good
old State from whose bosom we sprung,
or by whom we have been protected in
our rights and liberty, has never yet for
feited her claim to the respect and obedi-
ence OF her children. 1t is her constitu-
ton and her laws that we now assert in
opposition to the African slave trade; and
where is the man that will dare come
forward and fling defiance at her com
mands? Who will say that those who
yield obedience to her behests are black
republicans in principle aud enemies to
the South?"

SUBJECTS OF LEGIsLATIoN.-The most
important matters Of general character
that will probably engage the attention Of
our State Legislature at its present sess-
ION are these:
A Bill providing for the restoration of
the death penalty; for a general registry
law; providing for the registry of mar
riages, births and deaths; for the repeal
of the Maine Law; for making the sale
of Lager and domestic wines, DC, a GRIM
nal offence; for an amendment to the law
regulating the sale of swamp lands; for
setting the township of White River back
to Oceana county; for the formation of
the new county Of Muskegon; providing
for free schools; paying the travelling ex-
penses of Judges of the Circuit Court;
making the Office of tho Judge of Pro-
bate salaried one; providing for school
district libraries.
The first bill that passed 10 third
reading was one extending the time for
collecting taxes in the township Of Spring
Lake.
The petition of the Good Teniplars of
our village, praying, in substance, for the
passage of an act holding the vender Of
intoxicating liquors responsible for the
evils resulting therefrom, has been receiv-
cd at Lansing and referred 10 the appro-
pirate committee.
Our noighbors at Muskegou are work
ing vigorously for their now county. but

USE Coop BREAD.-We do not think
much of robbing wheat of good part Of
its best and most nutritious matter for the
sake of making extra suporfnc -four. Its
robbing nature and cheating the human
system, and the penalty is being paid ev-
cry day, by the constant degeneracy that is
going on in the physical system Of the
people.
The most wholesome bread is that
made of good wheat meal. This con-
tains all the elements necessary for the
support of the several organs of the body,
and will enable the digestive organs TO
supply the wear and tear, and sustain
thereby the strength of the frame in all
its parts. Instead of using this for bread,
we by means of selves and screens and
bolts, in our -four mills, throw away some
of the very essential parts of the wheat,
and content ourselves with portion on
", because, forsooth, it is fashionable TO
live only on the "nicest Of flour"
In a medical work, we met with some
remark Of an experienced physician, who
has had his attention turned to the effects
of poor -four as food for children. He
says he has observed that ricketts, is very
common disease among the children Of
those who use bakers bread, and he con-
cludes il may be owing 10 the alum with
which such bread is adultcrated. This is
in accordance with the we'll known chemi-
cal action of alum, since that salt forms
combinations with the phosphoric acid
which should unite with lime TO form the
bone, which combinations are little lena
cious, but are decomposable by any Of the
alkalies or acids that are in the system.
We may observe here in addition to the
above remarks, that in boiling the wheat
-four and saving only the starch, we throw
away much of the phosphate Of lime that
is required 10 form bone.
