Letter OF the Hon, Edward Bates Of
Missouri,
"sr LOUIS, No, Sent. 6. lg4s.


"sT LOUIS, Mo, Sept 6, 1s4s.
GEO. H. STONE, Eso.-Dear Sir. On
my return home, after an absence Of
some time, l received your letter upon
the subject of the Buffalo Convention.
"You ask, has Congress power to leg
islato for the Territories as to prevent
the introduction of Slavery where it
does not already oxist2
"Sec0nd: Supposing the power iu Con-
gre5s-is it polite and right to exer-
else it2
Before answering these questions,
bear with me in a few remarks. 1 was
born in Virginia, and have always lived
in a slavehOlding State. And thus it
may be fair for a Northern man to sup
pose that all my projudices of mind and
feeling, arising from habit and associa-
ton, would lead me to favor tho ez-
tension Of the area Of Slavery, X
But to your questions
'In answer to the first, say most
certainly l have not a shadow Of a
doubt that the power exists.
"ThOso that deny this power Of Con-
grcss put their denial upon the ground
that slaves are property, and therefore
they claim that the owners have a right
to take them wherever they 60.
admit that they are property by the
laws OF certain States wherein they are
found, it does not follow that a man
take his property with him wherever HE
has right to go
"a planter cannot take his 6eld-hnnds
to dine with him at the table d'hote Of
Charleston Hotel He cannot use his
own so as to annoy other. people
And Missouri trader cannot take his
barrel Of alcohol across our Western
line; if he docs, the act of Congress Of
1884 subjects the offender to heavy pom
alties, And surely the owner has a
more absolute right in and over the al
| cohol than the negro. lie may destroy
the one without ofense; but if he wan.
tonly destroys the other he must atone
for the crime with his life or liberty.
"Secoud, Supposing the power in Com
gress, is it right or polite to exercise it2
"This is a question Of expediency.-
If, before the late Mexican treaty, my
single vote could have settled the ques-
ton, I would have put upon the Statute
Book positive prohibition of Slavery
in all Territory thereafter acquired
Believing it to be a calamity and a curse,
and therefore to prcUent the increase of
the evH I would gladly see a Ia,o Of
Congress, if possible irrepealaJle, torJid-
ding SiaUery in all Territory hereafter
to be acquired
In my opinion, the Wings of tho
North, South, aud West will never cease
their efforts to get back the power which
of late years has been assumed by So
called Democratic Presidents, and re-
store the government of the country to
the two houses Of Congress

Old Clothes.

I consider people, who make sport of
an old mans shabby clothes, destitute
of feeling and worse than the heathon.
We could not be guilty of calling the
blush of resentment to a Wrinkled
cheek? the quiver of grief to a wither-
ed lip? the tear Of sorrow to a faded
eye, washed of its brilliancy by foods
of tears2
Never, never laugh at the scanty gar
ments of the poor. Poverty has a strong
tide of sorrow to stem, and frail bark
to guide at the best. It has dashed so
often against the rocks that it hardly
holds together. Sink it not with your
unkindness.
Sheer not at the old clothes. They
are often made holy by long sacrifices;
by careful foldings away that they may
last till the dear ones are provided for,
If many an old coat could speak, what
tales would they tell Of the noble heart
beating underneath.
Yonder rusty garment would repeat
the struggle of a devoted father, whose
son is earning laurels at the college
hard by. How he counted the farth.
ings, and choked down pride, that his
boy, his noble, beloved boy, might yet
do him honor.
That faded shawl, folded tightly over
spare shoulders Year after year has
the mother ccansed and mended and
laid it carefully away, as Cshe called it,)
"good as new" that her blue-eyed
daughter might have "book lorning.
And now her darling, only eighteen,
teaches the district schoOl-God bless
her-and the mother smiles over the
dim, dusky- pattern ribbon and prime
old merino that were cleaned up to eua-
bic her to buy Bessy pretty bonnet,
and a dress, such as she deserved.
Obi that blessed self-denial of aspir-
ing povertyl Hallowed be old bonnets,
old clooks, old coats, aye and old shoes,
when such love points to them as its
monuments.
More than one bright and shining
light, lot me tell you, owes its brilliOn-
cy to old clothes, more than one star in
literature, philosophy and divinity.
Think Of this when your eye chances
to light upon the thread-bare coat OF
the faded shawl, suppress tho smile
keep back the sneer You know not
what the heart beneath has suffered
how many times bled. You know not
what evil has haunted, what storms
swept over it, You know not what
God-like impulses have once made il
greatand strong, or what bitter draughta
poisoned its fountains, or what blight
ing mildew slipped in its full vigor. Lei
not the crime Of adding anguish to the
full cup Of the poor mans sorrow bC
ever yours.

The Art of Thinking.


To think clearly is among the FIRST
requirements Of a public teacher. The
faculty may bo improved, like other fac.
ulties Of mind or body:
One Of the best modes Of improving
in the art Of thinking is to think over
some subject before you read upon It,
and then to observe after what manner
it has occurred to the mind Of some
great master; you will then observe
whether you have been too rash or too
timid, in what you have exceeded, and
by this process you will insensibly catch
a great manner Of viewing questions
It is right to study, not only to think,
but from time to time TO review what
has passed; to dwell upon it and to see
what trains Of thought voluntarily pre-
sent themselves TO your mind. It is a
most superior habit Of some minds to
refer all the particular truths which
strike them to other truths more gener.

methodized, and the general truth, al
any time, suggests the particular oxem.
pliication, or any particular exemplif.
cation atonce leads to the general truth
This kind of an understanding has an
immense and decided superiority ovei
those confused heads in which one fact
is piled upon another, without the least
attempt at classification and arrange

GIVE THE BOYS A CHANCE. One of
the surest methods of attaching boy to
the farm, is to let him have something
on it for his oUn. Give a small plat of
ground to cultivate, allowing him the
proceeds for his own use. Let him have
his steers to break, or his sheep to care
for The ownership of even a fruit tree,
planted pruned and brought to bearing
by his own hands, will inspire him with
an interest that no mere reward of wa
ges can give. In addition to the cult
vation of taste for farm life, which
such course will cultivate, the practi-
cal knowledge gained by the boy will
be Of the highest value. Being inter
ested, he will be more observant and
will thoroughly learn whatever is nee
essary for his success. Another and
equally important advantage will be the
accustoming him early to feel responsi-
bility. Many young men, though well
acquainted with all manual operations
of the farm, fail utterly when intrusted
with the management of an estate, from
want Of experience in planning for
themselves, 1t is much bctter that
responsibility should be gradually as,
sumed, than that a young man should
be first thrown upon himself on attain.

There is a sort Of people who, through
some notion Of their own superiority Of
wisdom or authority, are so in the hab-
it Of identifying their opinions and
preiudices with the DEGREES Of Heaven,
that they cannot but look upon all who
call them in question as wic6ed--ene-
les of God and incendiaries in society.
They do not doubt that tho Almighty
thinks precisely as they do, and expect
that their views will be received with
the Difference due to an iufallible rela-
tion. These people do not combat
opinions, they cry out against themi
they do not respond TO arguments, they
arraign their authors; they do not seek
to convict; and look upon error not as
a thing TO overcome, but to be punished

thirty years my business has laid in my

WIFE VS. LADY.-It is certainly not
in good taste for a gentleman to speak
of his wife as his lady, or to register
their names upon the books of hotel,
as "John Smith and lady" or to ask a
friend, Chow is your lady?" This is
all fashionable vulgarity, and invaria-
bly, betrays lack of cultivation. The
term wife is far more beautiful, appro-
pirate and refined, whatever may be said
to the contrary. Suppose a lady were
to say of her husband, "my gentleman"
or suppose we we're speaking of "Mrs.
Fitz Maurice and her gentleman" The
thing would be positively ridiculous,
and its diverse would be none the less
so, if rightly considered. A mans wife
is his wife, and not his lady, and we
marvel that this latter term is not utter
ly taboood, in such a connection, at
least by educated and intelligent peo-
pie, 1t ought to be left for tho exclu-
sive use Of the Goldfish aristocracy.--
