them obnoxious to the intensely abolition HelterlteS
John Sherman no one is their fxed resolve; they
have chosen an endorser of the Heller book, and
they dare not recede, if they wished from the posi-
ton they have taken. There is scarcely possibili
ty that they will ever abandon him, hoping in the end
to secure the votes the nomadc anti Lecomptontes
or else cram upon the House the plurality rule. This
latter scheme will never meet the success desired by
its advocates. There are now quite number Of
Southern members who have signed written pledge
that they will remain here till March, 1851, rather
than submit to the adoption of this unconstituion-
al rule which will lead to the elevation to the Speak
ership of man approving the damnabe doctrines
enuncated by Heller. There are also others who
have not signed this paper, fully determined to pyr
sue the same course, meeting these revolutionizing
fanatics with determined front They hope to
weary out Southern men, and accomplish by strate-
gy what they have hitherto failed to do; but they
"reckon without their host" for this is a game
which will be played by as able experts in parlia-
mentary tactics the democratic side as the repub
licans can produce. And here will remark that if
few of our democratic friends in the House would
evince less eagerness to be foremost in the conduct
of the present contest it would be better for the in
terests of the democratic party The management
and control of all affairs pertaining to the present
struggle for the Speakcrship has been by common
consent Of. the Democracy entrusted to the ablest
hands in the person of Gov. Winslow, chairman Of
the democratic caucus. The ready tact and sagaci-
ty he has exhibited has rather surprised those
quaintcd with him, and who have only seen in him
the quiet, unobtrusve member; and while he is do
ing yeoman service in the discharge Of lis trust It
is somewhat provoking that he should be embarrass
ed by the imprudences of new members more mind
full of gaining newspaper notoriety than Of subserv
ing the interests of their party.
1t will be seen by reference to the different ballot
ings that Messrs. Vance and Leach, of N. G., have
repeatedly voted with the democracy, and they now
ayow their resolve still to do Sc It is gratifying to

A FIGHrIyG COuNTRY.-A citizen of Mem
phis, Tenn, has just returned from a trip to
Arkansas, and tells the following, which will
convey an idea Of how they do up matters in
that State:
Having occasion to stop at small town on
the river, he was compelled to remain over
Sunday. After the usual cogitations incident
to Sabbath morning, he strolled through the
only street in the place, and halted at the
grocery" around which q crowd of dozen
people were congregated. He remained there
three hours, and in that time one man was
shot and fatally wounded, and two others seri-
ously stabbed, in three separate fights.
From fighting country himself, our friend 3
equanimity was not seriously disturbed, but he
was rather surprised that, after the sffrays
were over, the perpetrators Of the shooting
and stabbing should resume their previous oc-
cupauon with seeming unconcern. Turning
to an acqusintance, he inquired Don't you
arrest anybody here ?" 'sOh, mo-" was the
answer, zoe asm't Incorporated yet ,''

The Great Sea-Scrpent.

The British banner has beat the Ameri.
can flag, and has actually got dominion
over the "tarnal snake" at last. The fol-
lowing extract from the British barque
Banner will give some idea of the strength
aad size Of this monster of the deep:
con the 25th of April, in lat u deg.
M. T., Ion. CD deg. So m. S. felt strong
sensation, as if the ship were trembling;
sent the second mate to sec what was up.
The latter called to me to go up the fore
rigging and look over the bows. [ did
so, and saw an enormous serpent shaking
the bowsprit with his mouth. There was
about thirty feet of the serpent out of the
water and | could see his tail in the
water abaft our stern; must have been at
least 300 feet long; was about the cir
conference of very wide crinoline pet
ticoat, with black, shaggy name, horn on
his forehead, and large glaring eyes e.,
placed rather under the nose, and jaws
about eight feet long. He did not OBJ
serve me, and continued shaking the bow
spirit and throwing the sea alongside into
foam until the former came clear away
from the ship. The serpent was power
full enough, although the ship was carry
ing all sail, and going at about six knots
at the time he attacked us, to stop her
Roadway completely.
When the bowsprit, with the iibboom.
sails and rigging went by the board the
monster swallowed the foretopmast stay.
sail and flying jib with the greatest APP
parent ease; he also snapped the thickest
OF the rigging asunder like a thread. -
He sheered off a little after this, and
returned apparently to scratch himself
against the side of the ship making
most extraordinary noise, resembling that
on board steamer when the boilers arc
blowing off. A whale preached within
mile of the ship at this time, and the SER
pent darted off after it like flash of
lightning, striking the vessel with his TAIL
and staving in all the starboard quarter
galley. Saw no more of it, but caught
young one in the afternoon, and brought
it on to Melbourne.

white slavery in England.

A recent debate in the British House
Of Commons on bill introduced to pre-
vent the employment of children under
fourteen years Of age in the bleaching and
dying works and TO limit their daily
working time to ten hours, should in its
startling developments strike conviction
to the prating Abolitionist here that the
worst slavery, the most abect servility is
not that of the African negro slave in the
South Of these United States. From the
report ofMr TREMENHEERE 10 the House,
we select a few instances Of barbarities
inflicted upon the poor British white slaves
by their tasll-mastors. A fnishcr in a
bleaching establishment went TO work
one morning at five o'clock, and laborcd
assiduoUsly until six the morning after :,
as did all the other hands, including chill
dren. Though a strong, healthy man, he
had felt SO tired frequently when he arose
in tho morning that he had to sit at his
bedside with scarcely power to dress him.
SELF What then must have been the
condition of the girls and boys? Three
! young girls, the oldest but sixteen, work.
ed, in similar establishment, thirty-nine
hours ViM but t,eo hours sleep III Meuclotke8,
and an allotment Of only half an hour to
breakfast. A lad of seventeen had labor
ed three dayS and three nights and subsc-
qucntly thirty-seven hours, sleeping dur
ing the hour given for meals which he
ate while working. a long category was
in possession of Mr. RoEBUcK, the ardent
advocate Of the bill, showing instances of
childron's hands being blistcred and the
skin torn off their feet, and yet obliged
to toll on, their overseerS being sometimes
forced to keep them 0'cake By Jeatdag on the
table s0iH large boards
The actuating motive of all this cruel
ty was but ayaricious economy Here
are facts which should admonish the pro-
fessed humanitarians of England to look
to their own deplorable system of slavery,
and not NEEDLE with our more humane
institutions. No slavery in our Southern
States equals the cruel scrvitude imposed
by them upon their weak he pless and
distressed white laborers. 1t was through
the agency Of these hypocritcal philan-
thropists that Abolitionsm crept in among
US, with its Shiny body, and their com
missioned interlopers, by pouring distilled
poisons into too willing minds, and i'm
parting false ideas to the unmaturued
young, have executed their culpable de
siSno by imperilling the country in bring
ing about sectional strife. The cruel
system of slavery in England has not ter
minated with the passage of this BILL
There are so many ways of evading law
there, that an amelioration of the con-
dition Of their white slaves will not even
tuate from it, nor never will while cupid
ty has such potency,
In this condition of affairs it now re-
mains with loyal citizens to repel the in.
sidiousnesness Of this active foe, the first
step towards which is to elect as the great
head of the Nation one who will with
energy prosecute the work of redeeming
the people from such heated strife. -

A YoUYG MoTHER.-Among tho lille.
climate births in Massachusetts, in 1858.
there was one case worthy of especial no.
ticc, in consequence of the extreme youth
Of the mother. Elizabeth ID. was born
of native parents in the almshousc at
Taunton, May %, 1871, and at the same
place she became the mother of a healthy
boy on the first Of February, 1853, being
only. ten years eight months and seven
days old. This appears to be a rare case
in this climate, but it is we'll attested by
the physician of the almshouse at Taun-
ton, who ofliciated personally both at the
birth of the young mother and at that of
the child. This boy weighed eight
pounds at birth, and at the age of eighteen
months weighed thirty-seven and half
pounds, and was in the enjoyment of ro-
bust health.
