The New BORN AND THE DEAD.-Lav.
ater in his "Physiognomy." makes the
following curious remarks Il have had
occasion 10 observe some infants immed:-
ately on their birth, and have found an
astonishing resemblance between their
profile and that Of their father. A few
days after, the resemblance almost entirely
disappeared f.; the natural influence Of the
air and food, and probably the change OF
posture, had so altered the design of the
face, that you could have believed it a
different individual. I ahcrward saw two
of these children die, the one at six weeks
and the other at four years Of age-and
about twelve hours after their death, they
completely recovered the profile which
had struck me so much at their birth /;
only the profile OF the dead child was, as
might be expected, more strongly marked
and more terse than that of the living.
The third day the resemblance began
to disappear. l knew man OF fifty years,
and another Of seventy, both of whom,
when alive, appeared to have no manner
OF resemblance 10 their children, and
whose physiognomies belonged, if | may
so express myself, to totally different
class. Two days after their death the
profile Of one became perfectly conformed
TO that Of his eldest son, and the image Of
the other might he traced in the third Of
his sons. The likeness was quite as dis
tinctly marked as that Of the children,
who. Immediately after their death,
brought 10 my recollection the physiogno-
mics which they had at their birth.

A Fair Proposition.

Senator Grimes, of this State, who is a
member of the Committee of Thirteen, offered,
few days since, the following proposition, to
meet the declaration of Mr.. Nicholson and
others that the Republican party contemplated
an amendment to the Constitution looking to
the abolition of slavery:
"No amendment shall be made to the Con-
stitution which will authorize or give to Oon'
eress any power to abolish or interfere in any
State with the domestic institutions thereof
including that Of persons held to service OF
labor by the laws Of such State"
It was carried by the following vote:
Yeas-Powen, Hunter, Crittenden, Seward
Douglas, Collamer, Wade, Bigler, Rice, Doc
little, Grimes-l1.
Nays-Toombs, Davis.
If this is not enough to satisfy the peopl'
of the South that they will not be molested BY
the Republican party, we hope no further
attempts will be made to satisfy them. Il
strikes US that they ought to be glad thai
there is party at the North willing to guar
antee to them the right to hold the poor Afri
can in bondage. Were it not for the Repub
lican party, an abolition party would spring
up, and in few years 1t would gain such ar
ascendancy that nothing but unconditional
emancipation would satisfy it.
