who owns but a slave or two in dangerous prox-
unity to Aboliu0aislnl-and the merchants Of
New Orleans, Mobile, Memphis, and Charleston,
who acquire wealth by selling exclusively the
products ofslave labor are really guarded in the
prosecution of their trade by the hard-fsted
Southerner whom they despise because Of his
comparative poverty.
Slavery undisturbed might take care Of itself
without particular concern on the part of slave
owners But where offensive measures against
it are carried as they are at present, something
more must be done by the planters than heaping
imprecations on Lincoln, and complacently read
ing fire-eating newspapers. That man is a fool,
whoever he may be or however rich he may be,
who thinks Of sustaining slavery by raising large
crops and increasing the number Of his hands;
he is foolif he thinks il can be done by r0tiag;
heis fool ifhe thinks such eoncets-the dis

About dozen years ago, Gov Y. and
Judge w. were candidates for Congress in
- district, Illinois. They both were far
sighted, shrewd politicians-the Judge the
better lawyer and debater; the Governor by
far the most winning in manners, as the Sc
quel will fully establish. One hot day in Ju-
ly, when they were travelling together on the
canvass, they came upon a party of ftwenty
men, or more assembled on tho roadside, for
the purpose Of having shooting match
Thinking it good time and place for pre-
sonting their respective claims, the Governor
proposed stopping They halted and the
Governor soon made himself at home. He
bought number of chances in the match,'
and being good marksman, succeeded well,'
winning quantity of beef which constitu-
ted the prize. The Judge had conscientious
scruples about shooting-inatchcs and did not
participate, but stood by, conyersing with the
more sober of the crowd while hisrfriend,
the Governor, was in high glec with his COM
panions over the bcef. when the beef was
given to the successful shooters, our Govern
or ordered his share to be divided among
some poor widows whom he asccrtaincd to
be living in the vicinity, and then asked the
b'hoys if they were not dryl OF course
they were, and the Governor generously or
dercd a plentiful supply of the "oh, be joy
fnI."
Here again the Judge had scruplcs, and
did not participate; but had it heen other
wise it would have availed nothing. The
Governor was decidedly The man at the
shootng-mateh, while the Judge felt him
self empbaticaly in the vocative,
Leaving their friends, they proceeded on
their way some twelve or fifteen miles, and
halted at camp-ground,. where the annual
camp-meeting was being held. They scpa-
rated in the crowd, each electioncering with
all his might, with old aud young, friends
and strangers, making hay while the sun
was shining, for there was, indeed, fine

bled for the meeting, thinking perhaps he
might meet his friend. On going out, what
was lis astonislment to find the gallant
Governor. the hero of the shootlng-match,,
in front of the altar, surrounded by ministers
and class leaders, with hymn book in his
hand, and head thrown back, singing, as loud
as his lungs would permit:

one separately, and they each were suspicious Of
the object Of the ether, but dared not say
word about it. So they rode acquainanccs all,
talking upon everything except that they had
most at heart When they arrived at the depot
at Pennington which was three miles from where
the debtor did business they found nothing but
a solitary cab, toward which they all rushed.
Three gotin and refused admittance to the fourth.
and the cab started. The fourth ran after and
mounted upon the outside with the driver. lie
asked the driver if he wanted to sell his horse.
lie replied that he did not that he was not
worth more than fifty dollars but would not sell
him for that lie asked him if he would take one
hundred dollars for him? "Yes," said he. Tho
Fourth man. quickly paid over the money, took
the reins, and backed the cab up to bank, slip
ped it from the harness, and tipped it up so that
the door could not be opened and jumped upon
the horses back and rode off, while the ''insi-
