Abolition Humanity.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says that a
political abolition preacher in northern
Ohio, who enter.ains his pious flock every
Sunday morning with piteous account
of the cruelties inflicted by Southern mas
ters on their slaves. was lately fined flee
dollars for inhumanly whipping little
orphan boy he had taken from New York
to raise, The boy, says the Enquirer,
had loaned neighbor q whip-a single
leather string tied to a stick-on the dis.
covery of which the kind-hearted, gener-
ous soul, who weeps at the fables of
Southern atrocities, took the lad to barn
and whipped him with cowhide till his
back and legs were completely raw. The
noise of the whip and the shrieks of the
little sufferer brought the neighbors to his
assistance, and delivered the lamb, for the
time, from the wolf iu sleeps clothing.

White Laborers, Look Here.

White LaborerS, Look Here.
HENRY CLAY, in letter written to Mr..
Cotton, thus warns the white laboring
man of the dangers of Abolitionism. Mr..
C. said:
"But the great aim and object of your
tract should be to arouse the LABOR
ING GLASSES in the Free States
against Abolition. Depict the, conse-
quences to them of immediate abolition.
The slaves being free would be dispersed
throughout the Union; they would enter
into competition with the free laborer,
with the American, the Irish, the Ger
man; reduce his wages; be confounded
with him; and affect his moral and social
standing And as the ultras go for both
Abolition and Analgamation, show that
their object is to unite in marriage the To-
boring man and black woman, and to re.
duce the laboring man to the despised and
degraded condition of the black man."

The Boy Preacher of Louisiana.

Mark Boatner Chapman is now in his
fourteenth year. He was born in Clinton,
Louisiana, where his parents still reside.
About two years ago he was received in
the Church; very soon after this he COM
menced instructing his fathers servants
on the afternoon of every Sabbath. His
custom was to read chapter and com.
ment upon it, having irst closely studied
the chapter, consulting Benson, Clark and
Wesley on every passage. 80
He at length began, says writer to
the Memphis Advocate, to speak in the
love-feasts and class-meetings; then to
pray in the public congregation. His
appearance is that of the merest boy, and
he seems wholly unconscious of any supc.
rior gifts or attainments. He now preach
ed regularly every Sabbath at his fathers
place, near town. His parents have re-
fused to allow him to enter the pulpit and
supply the place of the regular minister
on Sabbath, although he is often solicited
to do SO. He does nothing without per-
mission from his parents. He attends
school, and joins in oil the amusements
of the boys of his own age; he is mere
child everywhere, save when preaching.
On last Sabbath 1 sat under his ministry
and have seldom been more edited and
delighted with a sermon. His style is
chaste, his words fitly- and happily chosen
The incest critic would not detect gram
mstical error; his manner is earnest and

COMPUTING INrEnEsr.-A new mode q

COMPUTING INTEREST. "A new mode Of
computing interest ct six per cent has
been published, which appears very sim
pie. Multiply any given number of dol
lars by the number of days of interest de
sired; separate the right hand figure. and
divide by six; the result is the true inter
est in cents of such number Of days at six
per cent. The rule is simple, and SO true
according to all business usage, that every
banker, merchant and clerk should post
it up for reference and use. There being
no such thing as a fraction about it, there
is scarcely any liability mistake. BY
no other arithmetical process can SO de-
cided information be ATTAINED with so few
figures. 49,

to say nothing of the injurious effect upon
the health.
Of West India sugar aud molasses, the
Santo Cruz and Porto Rico are consider
ed the best. The Havana is seldom
clean. White Sugar from Brazil is very
good. Refined sugars usually contain
most of the saccharine substance there
fore there is probably more economy in
using crushed, loaf, and granulated sugars,
than we should at first suppose.
Butter that is made in September and
October is best for winter use.
Lard should be hard and white; and
that which is taken from hog over year
old is the best.
Rich cheese feels soft under the pres
sure OF the finger. That which is very
strong is neither good nor healthy. To
keep one that is cut, tie it ur in bag

cool dry place. If mould appears OF it

another warrior for President, General
Scott; and we find the man who boasted
that he had voted for the Wilmot proviso
forty-two times, sustaining the compromise
measure of 1850, which discarded all such
provisos. Again, in 1856, he supports
Fremont for President on a sectional ba-
sis, while pretending to have the old Wing
nationality about him. As ifto complete
the circle of his contradictions, in 1858 he
attacks the decision of the highest Court,
which declared the negro was not the
equal of the white man in civiI rights, and
which denied to Congress the right to
enact by Intervention his forty-two pro-
visos.
He lays down in his opening speech at
Chicago the seditious doctrine that this
country cannot be half slave and half free,
but that it must be all one thing or all the
other-for house divided against itself
cannot stand. For these ultra Abolition
doctrines, which out.chases Chase and
leaves Seward in the background, he is
nominated for President as conservative
Republican. He is commended to the
support of the whole American people,
for his warfare on one half of it. He is
urged as the President of all these States
by the heated zeal of a party in one>half
of them.
The truth is, that all these contradic-
tions have one solution-the spoils-the
spoils s-THE spoILs. This is what makes a
fusion of this confused element. This is
the elemental force, out of which comes
the still small voice-of expediency :
This is what slew Seward, broke Banks,
choked Chase and cornered Cameron.
Mr.. Cox alluded to the sacriligious re-
mark of Senator Wade-the Senator from
Ohio--that Lincoln's nomination was rat
flied from Con high" He thought that
neither religion, nor heaven, whose spirit
was love and fraternity, had little to do
with the fell and hell-born spirit of hate
which inspired the sectional party of Re.
publcans, He said if Heaven had that
spirit he didu't desire to go there. But
he didn't expect st. Peter would allow any
one who had Chicago ticket to enter,
unless they accepted the new dispensation
which was better than the Abrahamic
covenant. Some of the Republican ora
tors had found great omens in the name o.
their candidase-Abrahsm. No wonder
they dropped the polygamy twin, wher
they nominated Abraham. Abraham haG
two wives, at least, Sarah and Hagar; bu
he had something beside bonds0one,
| houpht with his own money.
We have given but a meagre outline o
Mr.. Cox's speech. He invoked, in ear
nest tones, the Democracy to cultivate tina
harmony, without which we could have n,
success. He prophesed for the delibera
T tions at Baltimore a peaceful solution O
the Democratic differences, He Shove,
that by such divisions. the party whicI
wars on the Constitution in all its essen
tial particulars might be elevated to pow
er, but that with harmony, the only nation
al party would again defeat its enemies.
