the Republicans propose to establish. The
Southern man does not want quarter-sec-
tion of land. because it is not enough for
his purpose. He wants about two thous-
and acres, on which to work his ten or
twenty negroes; and if he cannot obtain
that. he will not go to those Territories

young women, married yesterday; let each
couple have their one hundred and sixty
acres, on which twelve families are grow

one thousand acres. to cultivate it with his
twenty-five or thirty negroes, and what
have You there? You have one family
with two or three children; You have also

around yoH- There is no school house;
none is wanted, for they do not allow the
negroes to so school. a foreign young wo-
woman is imported from Vermont, perhaps,
to teach the young ladies of the family
such literature as may be thought desir-
able After awhile the two thousand
acres arc covercd'all over with negro slaves.
But let the Homestead bill go into opera
ii n. and on those two thousand acres you
have twelve families. In obedience to the
divine Injunction, "Be fruitful, multiply,
and replenish the earth," there will in the
course of few years be thirty or forty

We extract the following instructive paragraph
from the late speech Of Mr.. Corwin, in Philadel-
phia: ei
Now let us see what the Democracy
North and South would haveus do. ..Oh!"
they say, "the doctrine of the Constitu-
tion is settled /; slavery is now in every
Territory of the United States" That is
as the lawyers would say. it is there s.by
intcndment of law it is not there in
fact. and it will not go there. Our Dem
ocratic people all propose to vote against
this Homestead bill.a Why? Because
their Southern leaders tell them they must
do it. ''If you give qnarter-section Of
land to the poor man and his Young wife,
thousands of such couples throughout the
country will flock to those Territories, and
they will vote slavery out. Whether we
have Douglas doctrine Of squatter SOW
ereignty. or the Dred Scott doctrine, that
while the territory continues in terrific
rial condition you cannot exclude slavery,
these people will sooner or later drive sla-
very away" That is their objection to
the Homestead bill. 9

cratic party wo lid inaugurnte in cur free

There was a full sized sensation in Port
land on Saturday. The primary cause
was the new law enacted by the recent
Legislature of Maine against selling goods
by sample. Several agents and clerks Of
Boston houses were in that city, driving q
good business. when the police were set
npon their track. This they got wind of
through second parties. So close and fast
was the pursuit that some escaped from
the rear of one Of the hotels, took hacks
anil rode eight miles in thirty minutes, to
Scarboro' station. where they leaped into
the cars and made their way by the express
train to Boston. An agent OF we'll
known house in New Dcvonshire street
was not so successful. He was caught
and put in Jail. fs
The police seized about FIVE hundred
dollars worth of goods, which will be
forfeited under the law.
The scene Of exit of the Boston clerks
at the hotel in Portland is described as full
OF life Such dextarity oflcap and tenaci-
ty of wind is rarely witnessed outside of a
circus. Hereafter sample goods statesmen
from our city will doubtless approach the
precincts Ct Maine with cautious feet and
tscpidating nerves. Boston Atlas, My 20.

A Pretty Little Shakeress Runs OF With
n Young Man.

1t is well known that the Shakers do
not marry. The sexes are kept entirely
sclparate- But sometimes human nature
bursts out among the younger brethren
and sisters. and they go off and get mar
riei- The doors of Shaker,om are forever
after barre against them while they live
man an,l wife. The Shaker village at
Warrensville, some six miles from this
city. was recently the scene of an elope-
ment.
Lizzie Martin was adopted by the Soci-
ETY. when she was eight years old. At that
age she thought cclibacy was a very nice
arrangement. But when she reached the
interesting age Of seventeen she slightly
changed her mind. She encountered a
pair of black eyes one day. said eyes being
the property OF young man named MUIR
ray. She thongh' there coull be no harm
in those eyes. and wished the owner of them
wonl'l renounrc the world, adopt long
waistcoats. and take up his abode with the
Shakers altogether, SO she could see him
and talk with him every day. But the
young man did not incline favorably tn
long waisteoats. and after he and sister
Elizabeth had had a few stolen interviews,
she began to doabt the pre-eminent be-
neficencc of the long waistcoats herself.
The Shakers learned of these interviews.
and in accordance with the teachings of
their belief. tried to prevent her seeing him
more. They meant well, but of course
their efforts were not crowned with sue
cess. Qnite the contrary. When girl
gets her mind made up that young man
is about as near right as he can be. her
parents or guardians may as well "let her
went" without any fuss. for she is bound
to 60.
On Friday last two friends of Mr.. Muir
ray. Mr. Foot and a student in the Law
College IN this city. arrived near the Sha-
ker settlement at the close Of the day.
They fingered near until dark, when they
passed the house containing the pretty lit
tie Shake,ess. She knew oftheir intended
advent. and promptly answered the signal
they gave her. Soon she appeared in the
street aud accompanied them TO Doane' 5
Corners. where Murray awaited her. The
meeting was ardent. The young lady was
atiired in her plain Shaker dress, but that
garb conld not disguise her beauty. which
is of the dazzling kind. The couple are
zone" by this time. and we extend our
blessing after the manner of stage fathers.

The Antipathy of Like to Like.

Wherever two natures have a great deal
in common, the conditions of first rate
quarrel are furnished ready made. Rela-
tions are very apt to hate each other Just
because they are too much alike. 1t is
frightful to be in an atmosphere of family
idiosyncrasies; to see in the hereditary un-
comeliness or infrmity of body, all tho
defects Of speech, all the failings of temper,
intensified by concentration. SO that every
fault of our own finds itself multiplied By
reflections, like our images in saloon
lined with mirrors! Nature knows what
she is about. The centrifugal principle
which grows out Of the antipathy of like
for like is only the repetition in character
of an arrangement we see expressed mate
rally in certain seed capsules, which burst
and throw the seed to all points of the
compass; a house is large pod with hu-
man germ or two in each of its cells or
chambers; it opens by dehiscence of the
front door by and by and projects one of
its germs to Kansas. another to San Fran
cisco, another to Chicago. and so on; and
this that Smith may not be Smithed to
death and Brown Drowned into q mad
house, but mix in with the world again
and struggle back to average humanity.

Mr.. Sumner.


Mr.. CuEsNUr Dem. S. c. AFTER the
extraordinary. tho characteristic. speech
which has just been ma,lc in the hearing of
the Senate it is necessary that we should
explain the reasons which we are here in
vtcd to assume. Alter ranging over Eu-
rope, sneaking through back doors, and
fawning at the feet of British aristocracy,
seeking for pity. but reaping the rich and
Just reward OF contempt. the slanderer of
STATES and men reappears in the Senate
We had hoped that we should be relieved
from the miserable outpourings of his vul-
ga, malice. We had hoped that from
what he hal left. though ignominiorsly y
failed to meet. as the consequence of for
mer insolence, he would become wiser, If
not better, by experience. In this we are
disappointed: and we regret i. Sir.
in the heroic ages of the world, men
were often deifcd-out they were deified
for the possession and exercise of some
virtue. wisdom, justice. magnanimity and
courage. Yes, Sir. in Egypt they lcified
beasts and reptiles. but even that brutal
people worshipcd their idol on account of
some supposed virtue.
1t has been left for this age, for this
country, and for the Abolitionists OF Mas
sachnsetts. to defy the incarnation OF
malice. mendaciiy and cowardice Sir,
we do not here intend TO be guilty Of any
such apoihcosis of malignity and mean.

by any conduct on our purt, to swell the
Pens at the shrine Of this new idol. No
Sir; and though, with no expectation but
the hope of improvement. we are not in
clined by any punishment again to send
the recipient of punishment hailooing
through the worll. yelping forth increased
volumes of SANDER and malice. These
are the reasons why we have remained
quiet, and shall endeavor to remain quiet

DisuniOn Movements.

We have seen it announced in seve-
raj eastern journals, pretending to know
about the matter, that in several of the
southern States. well organized move
ment for the dissolution of the Union,
upon the Keitt plan, has been made, and
that agents have been sent to England
and France to ascertain what course
those powers would adopt towards the
proposed Southern Confederacy. Ifthis
10 true, we have only to say it is the
work Of secession and disruption, COM
menced by the fire-eaters at Charleston.
But we have too much confidence in
the great Democratic party ofthe Union,
to believe that any such disruption, as
alleged, will take place. Day bv day
the mask is falling from the faces Of the
disunionists, and we believe that thew
will again fall short of their imaginings.
Let the Democratic party unite as .
man, and march forward to the,breach.
