Then Have Fits.

A boy in the State of New York had been
subject to having fits. His parents thought
it prudent to avoid exciting him, lest he
should have fits He was allowed to violate
all rules with impunity. This the little ur-
chin soon understood, and appropriated to
his own advantage. He went to school, but
the teacher was advised that the boy must
not be whipped, or he would have fits and
he was allowed to break the teachers rules
at pleasure.
But new teacher was employed, who had
pretty strict notions of discipline, and did
not like to have his rules broken so uncere-
moniously, as the boy had been accustomed
to, and was about to administer wholesome
discipline. The boy demonstrated, however,

said the teacher, and "suiting the action to
the word,' applied the birch. The boy at

and act accordingly.
SO it has been with the Southern people,
for years. They have been very fearful that
they will 60 off into fits, unless they are pet
ted, and fed with sugar candies, and dandled
like spoiled child. But the best thing that
car be done for them, is to apply the rod of
truth till they come out of their fits, and act
sensibly. .-Nolthampton Gasette.

If sucn a calamity could happen that he
should occupy the Presidential chair, his
whole action with regard to the territories
would be based upon the position that they
are open to slavery.
We rejoice to know that there are hundreds
of candid men who have heretofore acted
with the Democratic party, under the i'm
preston that the Nebraska Bill gave to free
dom better chance than slavery, but who
will do so no longer when they see its true
meaning thus set forth by its author.
10 opposition to these Infamous pro-slave-
ry sentiments held by Douglas, the true po-
sition of the Republican party islands out in
bold relief" 1t is the same position occupied
by all the leading statesmen Of the country,
but few years since, which is, that the ter
ritories are free,aud that slavery has no right
to enter therein or in other words, if a
Shareholder presumes to carry his slave into
territory where slavery does not exist, he must
do it at his own risk and peril.
Depend upon it, if "Old Abe" Lincoln is
elected President, he will openly proclaim the
identical doctrines on this subject which
would have been avowed by Jefferson him
self. He will resolutely contend that free la
boring white men without slaves have the
right to 20 to these territories and make
them their future homes, free from any con-
tact with the baneful influences of the "pe
culiar institution. st. 4nthony News.

Political.
How Much Slave Territory Popular Sow.
ereiSnty has Made..DemOcrats Read!

We call upon every man who processes to
be Democrat, and who is honestly opposed
to the extension Of slavery, to read the sent-
ments of Stephen A. Douglas, uttered in the
Senate Just before his nomination. He spoke
as follows:
"My views were Incorporated into the COM
promise measure of 1870. Has the South
been excluded from all the territory acquired
from Mexico What says the bill from the
House of Representatives now on your table,
repeating the slave code in New Mexico, es-
tablished by the people themselves 1t is a
part of the history Of the country that under
this doctrine of on-intervention-this doc
trine that you delight to call squatter sover-
eignty-the people of New Mexico have in
troduced and protected slavery in the whole
of that Territory Under this doctrine, they
have converted a tract of free territory into
slave territory, more than five times the size
of New York. Under this doctrine slavery
has been extended from the Rio Grande to
the Gulf of California, and from the line of
the Republic of Mexico, not only up to 36
deg, 30 min., but up to 3S degrees giving
you degree and half more slave territory
than you ever claimed. You asked only up
to 36 deg. 80 min., and non-intervention has
given you up to 3S degrees"
The above monstrous avowal is in perfect
keeping with the expression that he "did not
care whether slavery was voted up or voted
down." We have always contended that the
great object in repeating the Missouri Com
promise was to nationalize and extend sla-
very. This is surely what Douglas meant
and of this, he gives the clearest proof in the
expression above quoted.
In fact, according to the doctrine of Doug
las, there is no more free territory because it
has all been opened to slavery. He has the
brazen assurance to boast and glory over the
circumstance that popular Sovereignty
HAS CONVERTED A TRACT OF FREE
TERRITORY INTO SLAVE TERRIFIC.
RY MORE THAN FIVE TIMES THE
SIZE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK y
With sentiments like these, no man vii
for moment think of claiming that Doug
las is friend to the extension Of freedom

Alchemy of Vice.

Every man entering on a course Of vicious
indulgence ought to weigh well the inevitable
results, in body shattered by disease, and
heart filled with shame and remorse. The
hdependeM has a striking Illustration of the
wasting power Of vice.
You have heard the story of the Italian
artist, who, meeting with child of exquisite
beauty. wished to preserve its features for
fear he should never see such loveliness
again. So he painted the charming face upon
the walls of his studio. In his somberest
hours that sweet, gentle countenance was
ike an angel of light TO him. Its presence
filled his sou! with the pure>t a>pira;!ons.-

and cheeks deeply furrowed with lus, and

the angel and the demon of the same soul,
now hang side by side in Tuscan gallery
Kind reader, YOU need not travel to foreign
gallery to see the transforming power of vice
upon the body. That brazen-faced, wanton-
looking wretch of womanhood, was once a
sweet, modest little girl, that bluehed at the
slightest indeIicate alusion That obese.
hrandy-burnt vlsage was once a joyous-heart-
ed boy. What strange alchemy has wrought
this bes,ial transformation They have been
in the hard battle of appetite, and carry the
scars of many campaigns. In the basement
cells of inebriety, and saloons of icentious-
ness, many youthful forms are sitting for
their portraits. The demon artist of lust and
intemperance is gradually moulding them in
| 20 fiends.
You may, our young reader steal secretly
into these hells Of inebriety and harlotry.-
Your kind parents and friends may little sus-
pect your way~ard proclivities.. But be AS
sured your "sin will find you out" Vice can
not long remain concealed. The soul has nc
place to hide it. Soon the foul flame, through
some rent or fissure of The body, will find ex
preston. The inmost loves, desires, and af
fnites of the soul, will mould the plastic boy
into corresponding likeness. The body is
a flesh and blood statute Of the spirit, and tht
countenance the playground of thought and
feeling.
