NORTH AND SOUTH--THE DIF-
FERENCE PRACTICALLY
SET FORTH.

In the Sixth Avenue is a grocer who is do
ing good business by attending to his own
atfllrs and who regularly as the election
comes round, votes the Republican ticket
One OF his customers, a native Of the suniest
part OF the South, where the palmetto waves
and perslmmOns are cOmmonest product. but
who is a resident of this city, was in his es-
| adjustment few days since The CONVEX
satlOn was upon the late election and its re-
suits when the latter, after some declama-
ton, proceeded to consign the President
elect, the Republican party, and each and
every member Of it, to that undiscovered
country recently and specially brought to
public attention by GLORIOUS Dick Busted, -
in his stated Staten Island harangue.
The grocer withstoOd his flrrago some
time, but finally his patience was exhausted.
Stepping out before his counter, he addressed
the other
'Mr. A., suppose that I, a Republican, as
you know, should be now in your native city
of Charleston, and should make use of such
language, and express sentiments as adverse
to secession and sccessiOnists, as you do 10 the
Republican party, what would those VINO
heard me do to me ?''
Cut your heart out, hang you to the
nearest lamp-pOst, and serve you right, said
this scion Of ''the finest chivalry in the
world.
"Well,' replied the grocer, ''we are not
50 blood thirsty up here at the North. We
only kick our insulters off our premises
Suiting the action TO the word, he seized
Nr. A. by the collar, whirled him round 50
as to face the door, and applied the energetic
rs a tergo, forcibly ejectlng him from the
premises, and illustrating the difference be-

lord PALNERSTON ON THE
PRTNCE'S VISIT.

The safe return home Of the young Prince
of Wales, naturally caused much rejoicing
in England The courteous treatment which
he met with in the United States called out
grateful acknowledgements ON every hand.
The sreach Of Lord Palmerston Is a sufficient
index Of the general character of them all.
At public banquet in London, Lord
Palmerston thus alluded to the reception of
the Prince Of Wales in America
You have alluded to an event which has
awakened the deepest interest in the mind of
very Eugli5bman. | mean the visit OF the
'rince Of Wales to the North American Con-
inent 1t was 10 be expected that when the
future hope Of England visited the subjects
of Her Majesty in our North American Prov
lnces, he would be 7 ceived with that enthu-
siastic affection which becomes a loyal and
attached peopIe Our anticipatiOns have not
be n disappointed The reception OF the
Prince has been worthy of the people who
gave it. and honorable to the family of which
he is so distinguished member; and we
nav hone that that visit will cement more
closely those ties which, | trust, are long
destined to bind together that portion OF the
Queens dOminOns and the mother country.
Hear, hear.
But we had not an equal right to expect
that when His Royal Hghness visited the
United States he would be received with any
thing more than the courtesy which civilized
nations accord to distinguished members oil
the reigning family of another country But
| must say it has been most gratifying to wit
ness the cordiality. the heartfelt kindness, the
generous hospitality, and | may say the en-
thusiastic delight with which that lllustrl-
GUS Prince was welcomed by our cousins IN
the United States. (Ckeers.) They have
shown themselves, indeed, to be noble anu
generous people-they have shown that they
have not forgotten the common stock from
which they and we have sprung and IN
suIte of events which, If not buried IN ob
livi0n, might have produced some slight
alienation between ", they received our fu-
ture sovereign-and trust that future may
be LONG dis.ant-they received the eldest son
of our gracious Sovereign, not as IT he were
a stranger belonging to another land, but-as
If he had been born in their own cauntry,
and had been a citizen OF their own Kepus-
lie. (Cheers) | trust, gentlemen, that
the remembrance of the generous kindness
thus exhibited by the people of the United
States will ever be cherished by the people OF
these kingdoms | believe the memory OF
the Princes visit will long survive in the
breasts Of the American nation, and that
these mutual recollectIOnS viii tend more
closely than ever TO knit together those two
great branches Of the same noble and | will
say illustrious stock. (Cheers.)

PROTECTION FOR PLANTS.

"G. B.H." writes as following in the
CouufrV Gentleman, Of Nov. %. The ex-
eeIleuce Of a good covering of snow for the
protection Of plants in winter, is beyond
question. but if &C. B. H." viii place his
thermometer in a snow bank during steady
cold weather, say Of zero or lower, he Will
find his doctrine that snow never falls be-
Iolc 327, will not stand the test. OF course
the snow will not rise above so Fahrenheit,
because it melts at that temperature
,,In our climate many plants and shruOs'
,o+ivas Of warmer latitudes, require pro'ec
tion of some sort during the severe winters
Tbe hest protection possible and ana the on

absurd to many to speak of snow as warm

covering entirly excluding air, would ro' %
damp off. But the trouble is that VIC are

One OF the causes why IN revolution the
most violent party increases ana governs. Is,
that 1t has all the towards for recruits. So
said Monsieur Vhlemain, when accounting
for the Uscendency of the 'Holy Guillotine -
in those terrible days for France which are
known as the Days Of Terror The observation
Is Just and it contains the secret(which every
body knows, by the way of the only source
Of danger to this country from the Southern
secessiOnIsts. The secession leaders are the
most violent men 0f the South, and being
bold, unscTupulOus. and ianatical, they may
succeed in doing much, evil simply because,
should they once get fairly agOiug, they viii
have all the towards in the south {or recruits
The peaceably disposed population of that
section, comprising, It Is probable, nine
tenths Of the whole people there, VIII be
/ oTercrowed by the other tenth, which shall
mpriSe the lawleSs spirits of the time and
place, and be led by men Of rude energy.
Terror converts men into tyrants and
[ brutes, and the Secessionists are master
hands at terrifying their fellow citizens or
else why are there so many persons banished
/ from the South who are quite incapable OF
injuring anybody! Were fair play to be had
in the South. not even the palmetto State
would 90 for secession but the men Of viO-
lence have got the upper hand there, and the
rest of the community ilre not speak their
sentiments. and many Of them, perhaps, are
as violent in their words and actions As if
they were sufficiently mOOn-syruck to believe
IN Palmetto flags, and rattlesnakcs, and the
lone star. II the secession question were to
be submitted to the South Carolinians, and
the voting were to take place in the Palace
Of Trnth, the tyrants would be as decisiyely
voted down as we have seen Bombalino voted
down in Naples, or as we know the Nene-
tians would vote down Kaiser Franz-Josef,
could they once get his imperial and mperj-
Gus claims under u hot fire Of paper bullets
SIX months ago, Naples was. apparently, as
loyal to Francis Ii. as South Carolina now Is
to the secession leaders, and yet we know
that more than 800 600 Noapolitans have
lust voted against him, and not ll.0OO for
him, even Indirectly. The secessionists are
wise in their generation, and, will not al
low the popular voice to be expressed IN an
orderly, legal manner. 1t is, therefore, pos
sible that they may do some evil, and that
the more easily because President Buchanan
is as much afraid Of them as if he were llv-
ing in Charleston, and not in Washington.
There is boldness on the ore side, and tlmid-
! ity on the other, and b0ldness ever carries
the day when ii has none to combat but the
timid, who are really non-combatants, and

The n Y. Commercial Adreriissr'S Wash
ington correspondent, "Omicron," under
date Of Nov. %, writes as follows -
1t was remarked, few days before the
Presidential election, by an eminent citizen
of the South, himself pro-slavery man of
the strictest sort, that he hoped Lincoln
would be elected, because it would test the
question whether we had government or
not His idea was that if tho Southern
States could with impunity and at their
pleasure, in Il moment of passion or caprice,
withdraw from the Union, and make coali-
ti0ns with each other or with foreign powers,
then we had no government. The Southern
States had threatened all this, and he wanted
the experiment tried. If we have no govern
ment the experiment Will succeed any State
may withdraw at pieasure-not one of the
original thirteen States only. but any of
those States whose territory we have bought.
T'he question has been brought before
| President Buchanan, whether we have a
government or not. So far as it depends
! upon him we have none at all. He will not.
as is generally believed to-day lift finger or
say a word for the maintenance of the gov
ernment when the crisis arrives. Had he
taken any distinct and decided ground IN
support of the government against rebellion
or secession, he would not now have had
full Cabinet There is no longer any dan
ger of Cabinet rupture, because there is no
danger that the President will put anything
in his message that will be unfavorable to
the secessiOnists.
The views presented by General Joseph
| Lane, in favor of State secession, show that
he was not misunderstood by the country
How MI. Breckenridge stands upon the ques'
ton, since the election, we do not know, bu'
a few weeks hence the whole subject will ot
before Congress. -,
Some suppose that the coming session vii
be one of great excitement and disorder
Among the Democrats there will be much
mutual elimination and denunciation. Eacf
clique will accuse the other Of having rulne'

"WARRINGToN" writes to the Springfield
Republican on Hon Caleb Cushing's late
Newburyport speeches as follows
Caleb Gushing has been preaching
Thanksgiving sermon, in two parts, at New
buryport. l Judge, from his temper, that
he will not relish his Thursday dinner
However. he is in no danger of being choked.
If the lies be told about Seward, Lincoln
and Wilson, have passed his asophagus
safely, he may undertake the mastication of
the drumsticks and breast-bOne of a twelve
pounGer, and run no risk His whole speech
IS founded on and pervaded by two false
hoods first, that Seward and Lincoln said
there is such an irrepressible conflict between
the free states and the slave states that they
cannot exist together and second that Cen
eral Wilson. in a late speech in which he
saws the slave power is under our feet, means
| that the people Of the slave states are to be
reduced and held in a dependent condition.

law case. 1t shows to what extremities the
disunionists are reduced, that SO able man
as Cushing is obliged to resort to such bold,
unmiticated and scandalous falsifcations for

The Legislature of Vermont has refused to re-
peal the Personal Liberty act Of that State. The
vote to repeal was 5S, (2j Republicans, 80 Dem
ocrats); the votes against repeating were I25, (al
| Republicans).- ~. y. 7I1jane, Nov. 50th
The Tribune is not quite correct. No vote
was taken directly in either House on the
question of repeating the personal liberty
act. A bill for such repeal was introduced
on the Tth of November. by Mr.. Thomas Of
West Fairlee, the leading Democrat Of the
House. 1t was referred to a select commit
tee of three, constituted (by the Speaker) of
t,ro Democrats and one Republican. \ la
bored report. the authorship Of which is as
cribed to a high democratic quarter, was
made by the majority Of the committee in
favor of the bill. 1t came up on the last
night of the session, and Mr. Thomas made
the only speech on the subject, and a pretty
good speech too, for him. 4 motion to dis
miss the bill followed, and it was dismissed
by the vote which is given by the Tribune,
l2j voting to dismiss and IS against dismis-
sion.- 1t is not fair, however, to assume that
all those IS would have voted to repeal, We
think that several of the Republicans who
voted against dismission (perhaps because
they wished to debate the question: would
not have voted for the bill.
In the Senate no repeating act was intro
du,eI. The main action bearing ON the sub
ject, was the introduction by the solitary de-
mocratic Senator, Of a resolution, instructipg
the committee, appointed to revise the
statutes of this state, to examine all laws
bearing upon the condition of fugitive slaves
and report at the next session Of the legisll-
ture whether any of those provisions, and
what ones, are in conflict with the constitu-
ton Of the United States On this very
proper resolution, one short speech was made
by Senator Woodbridge. lie said that no
State was more sound upon the vexed ques-
tions of the day than Vcrmont-n0 Safe so
ready to guarantee to every Sta, in the Tn
ion the rights which are protected there by
the constitution and laws Of the United
States, no State in the Union more determined
to 50 for freedom and for free men, or more
determined to have that territory, which is
open to all, trod only By the feet Of freemen
lie was sure that if there was any statute on
our books in conflict with the constitution.
the people would like to know it, and it was
time they knew it consequently he favored /.
the resolution, and it was adopted.

THE VERMONT CENSUS, 1860

Messrs. Editors According to the official re-
turns furnished me by the State Marshal for in
seytion in the Vermont Directory for 1851, the TO-
tai population Of tho State is 3l5,7 726 There are
ten towns having over 5000 each, which are IN
order as follows, viz Burlington Rutland, Ben
nington, Northfeld, Brattleboro', St. Albans, st.
Johnsbury, Brandon, Woodstock, and Colchester.
The two first above named have over 1000, the
next two over 1000, and the remaining six over
5000. The DIRECTORY, which will be in circuIa-
tion in its usually good style this week, will con-
tain the census Of each town, as taken the present
year, while the Montpelier Register for 1861,
gives the census of 1850. deem this statement
necessary to explain the discrepancy which will
appear in the two publications.
