the Northern papers have been "talling n.'
The Gazette came by degrees. First, a
Kentuckian, well versed in spirits, wrote
voluminously. apologizing for Slavery; then
waxing bolder he declared that it was the
bes, condition for the race. because, said he,
they increase faster than they do in iree-
dom. His reasons for this position would
mako him regret that he could not place The
whole race Of man in Slavery; yes, going
further, why not make rats Of them at once,
for they increase faster than even negro
slaves. But the next step Of the Gazette is
right up 10 the chalk line. He publishes
the speech Of Senator Mason, or part Of
it, arguing from Scripture that Slavery is
right. This the Gszette does with most
favorable comment. Now the Editor has
perfect right to do all this, but when we
charge him with being pro slavery in the
future, let him stand up to it like a man,
and not skulk the responsibility of his under
taking. The position of the Democratic
party is clearly pro-slavery, and we are glad
the press of that party is beginning to
show more honesty 10 the declaration Of their
principle. 10 future we trust to have no
more cavil about this meter.

The popularity Of this ticket has never

of the people is unbounded in all 'placos

These men are so empbaticully men of the
people, having sympathy and interest in
common that the people have confidence
that none other could inspire. There Is
more in Rail Splitting and Type setting than
aristocratic politicians are aware Of. There
is moral that the people can appreciate.

The New York Tribbne has seriously

by reference to the experience Of European
States in like situation ---r1
In l744, a farmer residing at Poplar, in
England, imported two calves from Holland,
under Circumstances exactly similar TO those
which attended Mr.. Chenery's importation.
Starting from this point, slowly at first but

this disease exGited, and the efforts made by,
the government to stay its rsvages, II waa
accertained by one Of the Commissioners
appointed to investigate the matter, that in
nottingham alone 40 1000 head OF cattle

In one year, the third of the existence of
the disease, fl35 900 were paid out Of the
public treasury as recompence for the the
cattle killed according to the prescribed Or
ders. During this year $4,000 head Of cat.
tie were killed because more or less infect
ed, and nearly double that number died of
the disease. The prompt action Of the
government, although II did not eradicate
the disease, vet much diminishedits ravages,
and undoubtedly shortened the period Of fts
sojourn in England. BOB il'r ~ 10 ,as.i'!aq
In 1857. over IA 900 head OF cattle were
slaughtered or died, IN only forty. three vii,
lagos IN Holland, causing distress among
peasantry of a lamentable nature. What
distress an equal mortality among the neat
stock of American farmers, most Of them
not over rich, would occasion, may be i'm
agined Let pieuro. nuemonia once get in
to the prairie country of the west and sweep
away twenty per cent Of the cattle from
which this city is supplied, and what would
be the effect upon the railroads and cities,
that under existing circumstances can bare
ly hold their own! We therefore think t
highly necessary that Ohio, Indiana, and,
coming eastward, Pennsylvania, New York
ana New Jersey should take their precav-
,ions before they are invaded BY the disease.
A competent Commissioner should be-
chosen by each of these States to 60 to
Massachusetts, investigate the disease. and
report to their several Legislatures the
means of prevention found effectuaL that
the necessary legislation might at once be

The Cattle Disease.

The ravages of this disease has become
truly alarming in Massachusetts. The Gov
ernor has called an extra sesscn O
tho Legislature to take the necessary steps
to eradicate Il. Under previous law
thousands have been killed and paid for by
the State but still it pushes on until fears
are being entertained that II will spread
over the entire country. 1t has made It's
appearance in New Jersey. This disease
originated in Germany, and wns brought
from that country by cattle brought out by
emigrants.
