nowadays may be guaged BY the history U ~

over the election Of Speaker Of the Honso only
to be plunged into nesrIy as serious broi in the

not unreasonable to decide that beth alike have

BAYAaD TAYLOR has sustained rebuke, which
is exciting the strenuous indignation Of the North
ern prints He had been invited to deliver . lsc-
ture in Richmond BY the Young MEMS Christian
Association, Of that city, which. By the way,
should have known better than to have done 30.
But the Association coming to it's senses IN time,
for no one but should know of Taylor's connection
with the New York Tribune and biz openly *
pressed Abolition sentiments, sent word to the
lecturer that be need not come. The New York
Times IS exceedingly indignant at this breach Of
engagement, and is ont in leader arguing that
the General christianity Of Virgins s 4 very
adulterated article, since III associated bodies r.
cognize the justice and morality Of tie violations
Of contract obligations.
TIE NoRTHERH DExoCsAcY do not admire the
Union demonstrations which are fashionable IN
that section. At meeting Or the Young Mems
Democratic General Committee held Ia Tammany
Hall, New York, on the 9th instant, preamble
and resolutions were adopted which declared the
late Union meetings in the Northern States worse
than snare and q delusion-in fact, aH humbug
and claptrap. They declared that the freedom Of
the white man and the slavery of the negro were
primordia to the Constitution Of the United States
were interwoven in our system of government,
and such condition of relations they would sustain.
THE FRKE NKGno PoruT.ATroN Of Tie South is
becoming aIarmingly numerous as whole body,
though still very small in some OF the States
Texas and Arkansas have but one thousand free
negroes resident in each, but In Maryland they
constitute body numbering no less than eighty
thousand souls, and, Of course, exercising pow
erfuI and extended demoraIizing influence upon
| the slave population Of the State. In Virginia
there are sixty thousand free negroes; in the
| little State Of Delaware twenty thousand in
i North Carolina thirty thousand, and iii Louisiana
twenty thousand. The aggregate number IN the
South is rapidly increasing, and the growing evil
should be met and conquered in Its infancy. We
are aware that action which may seem stringent
/ and onerous win be necessary; but II is better
/ that 1t be taken now than when greater number
4 will be liable to it. It is matter which VII
eventually exceedingly perplex the brains Of states
| men and philanthropists.
