The Wen on the Nations Face.

The man, think, is parted from his sen.
ses, who denies that the general nature aud
intent of this government is the securing OF
equal justice and of liberty upon the basis
of the natural rights of man. l know some
men say that slavery is part of our institu-
tons. and part of the Constitution: that
it was recognized. and was intercaIated
among other principles of this Constitution
aud these institutions. I deny it. I de.
clare that this Union, and the Constitution
of this Union, were formed for justice and
for freedom explicitly and avowedly, and not,
for slavery at ALL. Was there no recogni.
ton of slavery in them? Yes. On the
neck of this country was found little wen:

AN AMERICAN AEEcDoTE. - There has
been so little pleasant news from America
lately, that Mr.. Punch feels four-fold ds4
light in the following elegant anecdotes:
A handsome young Englishmau making
a call at house in Washington, where there
resided several of the loveIiest young ladies'
in all Federalis. suddenly discovered that De
had come out without his purse. The pref
test of the ladies said, ''Shall loan you .
dollar?'' Would you ?" was the reply.
The dollar was produced from the most
charming porte nsonD0ie. and the beautiful
American said. laughingly, II must have
interest, you know, when you return IL"
The handsome Englishman called next day,
repaid the dollar. and placing couple OF
lexquisiteiy cut bottles on the table, added.
And there is the interest---two cents. -
Such graceful eourtesies do honor to both
Icountries.-PH"eA.
