and yet how eminsntly well placed! Mr.. Z. v. II.
takes care that business shall precede politics. Hav

reform, philosophy, and patronizipg but encour-
sgirg defense Of the Almighty. In 80 doing,
he speaks, ike one having authority, Of
"the blessings of God" "the laws Of Cod"
"tbe wisdom of Cod" with as much "a
marity as if hs had completed the study Of divinity
before he devoted himself to dishes. He Seems to
be anxious to preserve a good credit both in North
Carolina and Heaven; and while he strives to keep
up bis remittances to the place last named, he 10

twill be flip to the politically Responding to
learn that this Pride ofthe Plate Market has planted
himself permanently upon the following platform;
When shall take one step, or do one act to sever
" the bonds Of our Union, given to us BY the bless

but what has writer with such weight on h's
mind to do with moods! A man with large
Crockery Establishment and the Federal Union up
on bis shoulders cannot stop to pick and choose his
parts Of speech. And in justice to this person, who
must by the merest courtesy be styled at least The
Fatber.inLaw of bis country, we will say that al
though his eyes may grow dim we do not believe
under any circumstances, however tremendous, that
bis fright hand will "foget ts cunning;" but
that it will cunniDgly continue to write just such
letters as the one now before u.s. until. still guided
by cum Dg it shall find it more profitable to manu-
facture epstles precisely the reverse of this. The

this time. We suppose that some people who are
not inteDs ly enamortd of Slavery, sometimes buy
a teapot or something of the kind Of Mr.. Hsugh.
won't; ard we suppose that without violating the
principles of the Christian Religion, he could, for
cash at least, sell to milk jug. Behold, then,
with what delightful dexterity Mr. Haughwout de-
fines his position:
L. '.To ray that approve Of the act Of him who
deals in slaves, cannot"
ii. ITO say that 1 condemn him who il tho
CwDer of ,laves, cannot"

won't say AID if he cannot extricste himself from
sucb dilemma, but must stand like certain we'll
known Animal who was equally distressed about
making up his mind bet Ueen the Northern and
the Southern baystack, why does he beray himself
by saying ytbins1 But there he will stand, aud
in that ridiculous way be will continue to depoy bis
slances both to the right and left. For instance:
]. If Slavery be great Elm in the eyes of our
country men, do not condemn them for saying that
they tbiDb So"
II. "But do condemn them when they deprive
ntiei Dor of another State of bis property"
Once more

that approve of Slavery"
ii. 60 Yet Slavery has always been one Of our in
ititutioDs and the well being Of the slaves them

Thus does this philosophical tradesman put
twelve ounces of virtue into one scrle aud twelve
ounces of something very much Ike vice in the
other, and finding that bis vice exactly balances his
virtue, be sill gs Hal Columbia aud offers up thanks

undoubtedly continue until one party or the other
in this Republic dscards crockey ware altogether.
OfcOurse, nobody without early and ample eIpe-
rience of Slavery could have come to a conclusion
30 exqusitely equitable, and the formula of which
may be thus stated Kind O. sorter and KIDD O. sort
O not. Such experience extended its Influence be-
nign and bracipg TO Mr. f. V. Haushwout's jaye-
nile soul. He had a grandfather. HIS grandfather
had slaves. His grandfather clio he'd, fed and cared
for them. His graz dfather considered them as
"second only to his own children" aud perhaps
they were his own and the uncles and auats Of Mr..
Heughwout To this Afcodian bl upon Grand
father Haugbwout's estate, bis descendant opposes
the case of free negro who somewhere, but it is
not stated where, "actually died from eating pot
f" soned meat found upon the beach of the sea-
"shore." TIE great danger to which Free BiacGs
are exposed, Of finding poisoned meat upon the sea-
shore, affords the strongest argument in favor Of
Slavery which we have yet seen.
In conclusion, Mr.. Haughwout. in order to calm
the agitatn of his fair customer, assures her toat

ton with the election returns, we cannot help think
Jog that if Mr.. Haughwout does NOT cipher better
when he makes out his next bill against the Matron
of North Carolina, either he or she will be painfully
cheated. But We suppose Mr. II. has done his beat;
and unless he is willing TO go to The expense Of pre-
