GT Some Of the Southern papers are very
severe in their comments upon the attempt TO
revive the slave trade. They expose, with
bitter sarcasm, the hypocritical pretences Of
those who uphold the slave trade as the
means Of civilixing and chris.ianizing the
benighted Africans. They contrast the prin.
ciples Of the gospel Of peace and love with
the bloody wars to make captive negroes, and
convey them through all the horrors Of the
"middle passage" to q slave plantation,
where they are kept under discipline of fear
and force. And the base cupidity and utter
diregard Of every principle Of humanity and
christianity manifested by these slave traders
in their conduct and treatment OF their cap
tives, il set in strong and striking contrast
with these philanshropic profession.

few years ago publicly declared that be re-
garded Slavery IS morally, socially and po-
lisIeally wrong. In his recent letter OF ac-
csptanec Of the nomination for Governor hc
states smphasically that he regards Slavery
morally, socially and politically right.
In this change we witness the precise
change which has actually taken place in the
sentiments of the Democratic party within
few years past, and these sentiments furnish
an equally direct contrast to those Of the
fathers of the country, the greatest and best
of whom, with Washington and Jefferson at
their head, often urged upon the country
that Slavery was = social, moral and politi-
Cal evil.
e1The United States Senate celebrated
their entrance to the magnificent new Senate
Chamber, represented ~ the most expensive
hall IN the country, by yoluminous, one
sided discussion in favor of economy and re-
trenchmsnt Of expenses. Such talk a. that
10 common with Locofoco politicians, and
ends place in ell their speeches and plat
forms, but nowhere else. The extravaganza
OF the present administration far exceeds
anything known in the history Of our coun-
try, but nobody expects the Looofoco Senate
to retrench expenditures.

early part OF the session Of giving Douglas a

City, the Administration "crushed out'' the
rising enthusiasm, and the Little Giant was
permitted to find bis way home with slight
parade or blaronry Of pomp and circum-

personal friends.
HV The papers report more drunkenness
in New York on New YEARS. day than on any
other day for year past. Much disorder
and several deaths by violence occurred, all
growing out Of the detestable and degrading
custom Of furnishing liquor to callers on
New Years day.
eTThe Hon. Henry B. Payne, late candi-
date for Governor Of Ohio, and an Intensely
ardent anti-Buchananite, has followed in the
footsteps OF the ilustrious Sam Cox, and
given In his adherence to the President.
Those Ohio Locofocos seem to have but little
confidence in the success Of Douglas, and 30
hare concluded to stake their chances for Of

G. Mount yesuvius is reported to be Civ.
ing forth unmistakeabe indications OF the
outbreak Of its pent up fires, and similar indi-
cations exist throughout Italy Of an outbreak
Of equally tremendous violence amongst the
people. The Tyranny, the excessive taxa
ton, and the compulsory military service az
acted in Lombardy, are driving the people TO
madness against their Austrian oppressors.
And in other portions Of Italy misgovern.
mens and Tyranny are exciting similar feel.
ing against the rulers, while the evident lack
OF good understanding between Austria
and France leads to the conviction that they
will soon measure swords on the old battle
ground Of Italy.
