conscience AND CRVCKERY.

The different Doctors Of Divinity, Of Psysic, and
of Law, having favored the country and the century
with their views of the Slavery Question: it gives us
pleasure to remark that TIE discussion has reached
still higher hands, and that Mr.. L. V. Hsugh 4out
an eminent cfockefy dealer of this city, has con.
sebteo TO keep Mr.. CHARLES O'Conor and Or. Nehe-
miah Adams in cOunIenance. Mr.. Z. V. Haagh-
won't, i'll spite Of the distractions of dishes and the
CHATTER Of cups and saucers has found time to write
religious, philosophical, and commercial letter to
a patriotic LADY" whose smiles iiradiate the 9TH
erwise dutky demespes of Northampton, il North
Carolina This favored dame has sent the Epistle
of HaughwOut to the newspapers of her neighbor-
hood end the newspapers have gratutously adver-
tised the writer and his stock Of goods by printing
it. In this way, the virtue Of L " IL. may bring
him an exceeding rewards and as white folks of
gsb1eel position even in North C,rolina use plates
aid bniyos and forks, ard as Mr.. III. has proved
himfelt to be dealer only in constitutional mple-
meLts and sis, We suppose that his praise viii
be in many Southern pantry, and bis platters up
on many a Southern table Notwithstanding the
cares of business ana the confusion Of maltlIudinOus
crates, wc must allow that Mr.. Haughwout writes
as se1sbly upon the Great Question as if ne had de.
youred ten tuns of Ancient History, Ike Brigadier
Gushing; or bal swallowed the whole Civil Law,
like MIR Charles 0'Conor; or had lived for forty
years upon pot'uck Of dijoibted texts, Like Doc

IN which we ind the IIapghwout Letter does not
hesitate explicitly 10 ayow It's belief that if we had
more CrOckeIy Dealers ofsuch sterling stamp "ths
q" st'll glorious Cobtederacy Of STATES would be
perpetusl" 1t is indeed embarrassing to a sim
pie soul like ours to determine upon the particular
lLe of business upon which We must rely for poti-
cal salvation. Deciding prim0 facie, we should
have regarded crockery and glass ware with dis
trust, from their natural fragIty and tendency to
smash TIE sound, constitutional tailors We should
bavc confidence in from their acknowledged ability
IN repairing rents and closing lips But we need
nOt pursue our distinctive classification. From the
we read the letter of Mr.. f. V. Haugh-
aOut to the Patriot Lady Of North Carolina, we
cit that these States weJe sale as an invoice OF
ups aud saucers nicely packed ia straw; and that,
however dire the din of DisunOn may be, we shall
N be comfortably intrenched behind the trenches OF
Z. V. III. & Co. And as we have thus spoken
lebly, but not too highly of the crockery gentle
nans Letter, which might be aptIy intituIed Dis
ubionsts DsLed," We must, in defense of our |
'wn judgment, give some account Of q missve so |

Lmpri"is, it is not by any means certain that Mr..
faughwout would have condescended to save tho
Union at oil, or perhaps have thought it worth saw
