Northern Men in Southern Climate.

BY some strange miScOnccption, it has
become to be a general belief, that, if the
war continues through the summer and fall,
the N"Ihern troops must inev itably be dcfca-
ted by disease. as they cannot contend with
the masma and malaria OF the South, to which
the Southern troops are supposed to be
thoroughly Injured.
Never was a greater mistake made. In the
late Mexican war, it was demonstrated beyond
cavil that Nothern troops sustained thensel-
YES in better condiIion-so far as health was
concerned than did the Southern soldiers
In the fainos Indian war, it was satisfactorily
proved that the sickness and mortality in the
British army was less than half of that which
depleted HE opposing forces.

island of Jamaica. and that the deaths, IN the
British army, did not equal in proportion,

bears the testimony to the hardwood of north
ern blood. During his first exploration three
natives in his rctnue died to one European.
In short, it cannot be denied that persons
of northern birth are more hardy, and can
more successfully avoid disease, than can
people born in a southern cline.
Even thus far we find that while sickness
prevails to an alarming extent in the Southern
army. our Nothcrn Iroups are enjoying most
excellent heath.
Putting health against health or bullets

No interference is made by others in our
State ait',iis No injury is done to the slave
holder, Tor he is paid for his propeity-and
actually gets tull price for his property.
The people are called upon to decide the
question for themselves. And they will do
it.
In conclusion, we ask the enemies of ,man-
cipation for their arguments against the policy
They have not, and they cannot, produce any.
We have made no appeals to prejudice. We
address the Judgment of the people with the
language Of sober reason. We are willing
that the question shall be decided by argu-
mcnt. We leave it to the opponents of
emancipation, who have no arguments to sus-
tain them, to make base and scnscicss appeals
to passion and prejudice But if they rely
solely on the cry Of abolilionist," as they
seem to do, they had as well abandon their
chnse at once. Our people have come to
understand that, like the Merrmac, this is
nothing more than a Rebel scarc-crow. 1t

CAUTION TO BoYs.-In Milwaukee, a
few days ago, some boys were playing
with marbles, which had been bought in
the city, and which were nicely painted.
The day was very hot and the hands of
the boys got moist, in consequence of
which the paint dissolved and attached
to the fingers. One of the boys wiped
with his hands his forehead, whereby
the poison contained in the paint de-
tached from the marbles was commune
Gated to the face. In two hours his
eyes began to swell, and continued to
swell, so that after two days he could
not see through the swollen face, and it
was twelve days before he was able to
use his eyes.

AbOlitiOnist.

1t is curious to notice the various applictions
made of this term by certain political class.
1t would be much more curious. however,
if we could elicit from each Smpleton that
uses il his peculiar d, tintion Of it. 1t is u
singular phrase in our language, and has pro-
miscnons meaning. as well as a promscuous
use. Indeed its exact meaning is difficult to
determine. A 'great light" has recently
appeared in Cecil county, who has explained
the wonderful word to the cditication of the
So lesser light" A writer in the Cecil Demo-
crat makes the astounding discovery that an
uboiHionisi is one rho is la Juror Of aJohshiag

this man is descendant OF Solomon, for he
is wiser than his generation. If his friends
do not keep watch over him, his head will
certainly burst. Such an effort is too great
for the human mind. Ii he RECEIVERS, he will
probably discover, also, that the aboliionist
is one who is in favor of abolishng horses,
steamboats,. or Railroads, or taxes. Certain

This man was kindred spirit to that other
fellow, who, getting mad with Methodist
preacher, wanted to call him an abolitionist.
and being unable to got hold of the right
word, called him i" damned 1hompsonian. -
1t is plain enough that men use the term with
out any knowledge Of its meaning. We meet
almost every day men who pride themselves
upon their intelligence, and make such an
awkward use IF the term as to show their
utter ignorance Of its signiicaton.
Scarcely had the true friends of Maryland
and the stakeholder suggested line of policy
calculated to secure the stakeholder against

mncnt prosperity of the State, ere the ardent

midst, raised the hideous yell Of - Abolition

patton, we repe the cowardly imputalon
with Indignation and Scorn. If these blind
zralots of Treason do not comprehe bend the
fact, we can inform them, that emancipation
as proposed to Maryland has nothing 10 do
with aboliiomiSm. They are as different as
day and night. The abolitionist proposes to
violate the Constitution and infringe the
rights of States, by aboliShing slavery through
the Federal Congress, giving the owner no
voice, either for OF against the act. allowing
no compensation for the slaves thus freed,
aud opposing colonization on the ground that
the negro is as much entitled to the soil as
the white man. The friends of emancipation
in Maryland insist that the people of State
have the right to decide the question for
themselves, and they claim that inasmuch as
slavery is unprotita5le, and inperiled in this
State, and the Federal Government has
offered to purchase and remove all the slaves,
the people Of the State ought to accept the
prosperity. No State 5 rights are inirinGcd

The chap replied, far out of sight,
Skcdaddis!
At break of day, as several boys.
From main, New York and Illinois,
We're moving southwark, in the air
They heard these accents of despair,
Sked0ddie!
A chap was found, and at his side
A bottle, showing how he died.
Still grasping in his hand of ice,
That banner with the strange device,
Skedaddie!
There in the twilight, thick and gray,
Considerably played out he lay
And through the vapor gray and thick,
A voice fell, like rocket stick,
Skeddddie
