him the full measure of his heavy drift on the
alphabet--is to bear the tasces in the yn OF the
Ohio contingent of the Peace Society. Some
reasonable margin of allowance should be made
for a man Of Northern birth, who is borne down
BY the incubus of such name as his. 1t does
not excite my special wonder that, like Caliban,
ne is "misautbropos and hates mankind" The
case Of the children whose teeth are Get on edge
from the sour grape diet of the fathers is not
more to be commserated than such sponsorial
imposition upon the tender years OF infancy,
which even bears down with coDsonantal burden
the robust years of Congressional manhood. Mr..
", spare me the linked sweetness long drawn
out of the attendant particles, has an eminent
genius for seryility and small meanness. What
cannot be fatoomed in abasment by him may
well be considered beyond human enterprise.
But his letter affords melancholy evidence of the
discrepancy between purpose and execution,
strength Of inclination and weakness Of perform
ance. What he quotes from the late Senator
Douglas is none of his best, and that which he
contributes from his own brain is the poorert of
the poor.
When an individual Of such poverty Of ideas
and paucty Of language ia put forward to seduce
the people Of the Free States into abssement,
ubseryence must be on its last egs, and tOttering
feeby to its doom. There can be but little left
Of late superb villainy in Northern allies, when

faintpg strain.
Still the uses of the Ohio member vindicste our
belief that in the wisdom Of the Artifcer nothing
is created in vain. If Southern ports were open,
and the cotton trade was brisk, his value in the
New Orleans market would be quite the average
of an ordinary plantation field hand-a higher

we are hoping for an improved condition of the

disarm the criticism of vendor and vendee, and
place him on the auction block, with oil of the
happy incidents of darkness and docihty which
most allure the pious purchaser Of souls and
bodies.
In the mean time he can bring forward with
sepunity, no doubt, his ignominious proposals for
settlement. There have been periods in the his
