creation.
a neac Book-"The History of Slavery and
the Slave Trade, ancient and modern The
forms of Slavery that prevailed in ancient
nations, particularly in Greece and Rome
The African Slave Trade and the History of
Slavery in the United States Compiled from
authentic materials, by W. o. Blake"
Such is the title of a new work, now for the
first time, being introduced into this State
From what we have seen and learned of the
Book, it is all that its title imports, and worthy
of the attention of all classes of readers In
all respects the execution is highly credible,
both in matter and form. In our opinion few
subjects can be more fascinating to general read
ers-the deep interest of the subject investing
merely statistical documents and Historical
records, with more than the grace of modern
romance. The lover of his race will here find
material for kindling his affections into fame.
and the individual who is deficient in love of his
neighbor, irrespective of color, will be warmed
and matured into higher moral life. Although
the price is considerable, the extraordinary size
and beauty of the volume. no less than the ex-
cellence of the matter, will render it first rate
purchase.
S. P. Webb Esq is agent fo1 this County, of
whom alone the work can be procured.

Worshlpper of the Administration he now so
Vehemently denounces. This change of front,
we suppose, may be accounted for by the fact
that he awoke one morning about year and
half ago. a head shorter, officially, than he was
the night before. His eyes then became sud-

Reports are reaching us every day, of the de-
capitation of Post Masters, Navy Agents, Dis
trict Attorneys, and others holding Office under
the Administration, who favor the election of
Douglas. AS the Plain Dealer is of that po-
itical stripe, it is to be presumed that Z" the
powers that be y at Washington, will look with
disfavor upon any Pest Master who acts as
agent for said paper. Is there not, then, some
danger that the official we alluded to in the first
instance, may find his head in the basket some
day when he is least expecting it 1t may not
have occurred to him, and we therefore make
the suggestion so that he cannot, at least, have
it to say that he acted thoughtlessly, and was
ignorant Of the consequences that were likely
to result from the agency that he has underta-
ken Would it not be well for him to look the
matter over carefully, and see if the bird he is
trying to raise, will not very likely be the means
Of scratching out his own official eyesl We
simply throw out the hint and leave it to our
friends own good sense, to determine whether
he shall act upon ii or not
Es5F There was meeting yesterday
in this city of quite large number of Farm
Mortgagors, who came together for the purpose
of consultation. They were met by S. Park
Coon, Esq, of Milwaukee, who is with the mort
gagors As their meeting was private one we
have not heard what transpired 1t is to be hoped
that some compromise vas effected, and that
