THE ALIASES OF THE OpposIrros.--I,

For ex ample, should John Jones, of one State, become James Smith when he mgrates 10 another, and change into Lewis Stiles when he enters a third, there could scarce ly be stronger evidence that the aforesaid John Is a suspicious character" No police record makes mention of an offend- CT who ever had one half the aliases that are now borne by the Opposition to the Democracy in different parts of the Uni on. In Pennsylvania they assume the popular, but rather ambiguous, cognomen of the Peoples Party;" in the Old Bay State they adopt the elaborately compo- site appellaton of Jeifersonan- Ameri. can Republicans" in Maryland they are "know- Nothings;" in Virginia they have stolen the name of distinguished party long dead, and call themselves "Whigs;" in Missouri they are Free Democrats that is, free and easy Democrats free to ssSai thett ueignoo pfoperty;.ln Call lorna, the few there are, call themselves "Broderick men," of whom it can never he said, "se'nper honos, laudesque none bunt, nomenque tuum;' and in Kentucky, Tennessee, and one or two Southern States, where they do not know them- selves wbat they are, they are simply known as he Opposition. ."- Lebanon (Tenn.)

 Massachusetts to Virginia.

The Legislature of Massachusetts pro- poses 10 invite the members Of the Legis- Iatures of New York, Pennsy lgania, Maryland and Virginia 10 meet with il in celebrating Washington's Birthday. Now. so far as Maryland and Virginia are concerned, we have no hesitation 10 say that this movement on the part of Massachusetts is not only contemptible hy- pocrisy, but a downright insult Just think for a moment what the relation oi Massachusetts is 10 these States. She regards them as upholding an institution so wicked and immoral that she will not permit the very people she proposes 10 n- vite 10 visit her, to bring with them their servants. If they do she will not only steal them, but her laws, we believe, even imprison the person who dares to do il ]! The case, then, stands thus:
 "Messrs. Virgnians and Marylanders, we
 invite you to come to Boston; DO come. We will show you Fanenil Hall--we will show you Bunker Hill Monument-we will show you all over Bosting,' but you must not dare to polute our sacred soil with one of your ne- gro slayes,' if you do, we will lock you up in the town jail But DO come, nevertheless. We love you very sincerely True, we steal all your negroes we can, but then, that you know, is a BUSINESS matter. The London Anti Slavery Society PAY us for that. True, we will not perform our obligations under the Constitution, but then, you know, that is an agreement with Hell,' as Brother Garrison says. Nevertheless, DO come and see us. We love you VERY MUCH just now You know, we have great many boots and shoes to sell to the South, and also, lots of caicoes and masins, to say nothing of the mackerel and codfsh. We have been afraid recently that soathern ninnies are really going to get huffy because we steal your property and per- form other trivial Yankee tricks, but you MUST NOT get in earnest about such small af- fairs. Just keep quiet and come and see us on Washington's birthday, and next year when we celebrate the 2d of December, the anniversary of the death of the patriot Brown, whom you Virgnians may probably remem- Der, We will send you another invitation! So don't think hard of us, particularly just now, as the spring trade is opening!"
 The above is a fair statement of the position of Massachusetts now in relation 10 her sister States of the South, and how her Legislature, with the infamous laws on her statute books unrepeaed, has the impudence to invite southern men to visit her, passes our comprehension.

 CoHvENTIoNs.-W learn that certain political wiseacres are using their inhu- ence in various portions of Prairie county, to prejudice the people against any as- ;semblage that savers in the least of con- vention. We will venture that every man who is thus busying himself is either a disappointed aspirant for office, or full fledged member of the "Opposition - name which the opponents of democra- cy have adopted in adjacent States-and which, before the close of the Presden. tial campaign, they will adopt in Arkan- sas. Those who are candidates for office at the August election, will use honeyed words, and even assert that they are as < good democrats as anybody dares to be-" but as soon as they are elected or defeat- ed, the eleven foot of Opposition" will show itself too plain to be misunderstood
 Let the democracy beware of these po- litical wolves in democratic folds. Turn them out, their room is better than their company.

 sss5- There was a spelling match in irumbull county, Ohio. recently. The best speller from each district in the coun- F was engaged. The prize for t,ee one up longest was a Webstef's Dictiona ". There were lhiry-lhree champion spoilers. McGufiey's spelling book was used. All were spelled down in three hours. The last one up got the dictionary. A cor respondent says:
 It appears that the short and common words generally conquered the classes, and not the poIysyllabic words.
 The word razor shaved one member c'eanly off; seD sewed up another; trarel Haveled out another; qaieseeace quieted another; satirlc satirized another: paci- lale reeled over another; scene, perennial, c@tfargery, Christmas, scrufinise and spoon were also missed on.

HoN. T. c. HISDMAN.-The demo. cratic press throughout the Union have universally accorded the highest praise to this gentleman for his course in Congress. The Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, whose letters are acknowledged to possess the weight of do- ing justice to the ability of members of Congress, writes as follows in regard to the speech of Col. HlNDMAN in reply to Sherman of Ohio, the Black Republican candidate for Speaker:
 The speech of Mr. Hindman, of Arkan- sas, has been triumph of which that young and promising member may well feel proud It has already run through an edition of fifty thousand, and the demand for it continues MT. Hindman is not only one of the boldest men upon the floor, speaking right out what he thinks, but there is softness in his articu- lation and an eloquence in his words, perfect ly irresistible, and already has he won posi- tion Of which few of the older members can boast.o

MIssIssIppI REVENUE BlLL.- The late legislature of Mississippi raised tue taxes 10 75 cents on each negro, instead of 40, as heretofore, and to 20 cents on each hundred dollars worth of land, in stead of Is cents as heretofore--thus nearly doubling the tax on slaves, and in- creasing that on lands twenty-five per cent. This was about the only change made in the revenue laws. There being about 100000 slaves in the State, it will increase the taxesson that property alone about $l50,00 and on lands about $60,- 900 per year; so that after this year, the gross revenue will be about S2l0,000 more than in past years from these two items.

NEGRoEs EXPELLED FROM A CANADI. AN TowNsHIP.--The Detroit { Michigan) ) Free Press reports that all the negroes have been summarily expelled from the township of Anderson, Essex county, a few miles from that city, on the other side of the river. This township was as thick ly populated with negroes as any in Cana da, but they have become so bad in their depredalions and crimes that their presence was no longer endurable. Accordingly the authorities of the township petitioned the grand jury last fall relative to them, and the jury in consequence presented them as nuisance. Their outrages cul- minated a few weeks since, in an attack upon number of peaceable and defence less citizens. and now the day of relribu- lion has oyertaken them. The whole lot have been sunnarily driven out of the township. They had been given homes, but they so abused the kindness extended 10 them that the authorities are obliged, in order to protect their lives and property, 10 drive them out as they would so many wild beasts.
