where your cause gains ground, ana be IL
said for the honor of the nineteenth cen
turv. the obstacle which our ill-will and
our evil passions could not overcome, the
obstacle which the intrigues Of the South
could not surmount is an idea, princi-
pie. Hatred of Slavery has been your
champion in the Old World A poor
champion seemingly. Laughed at, scorn-
ed, it seems weak and lonely. But what
matters it,ere the account be closed, prin-
ciples will stand for something, and con-
science, in all human affairs, will have the
last word.
This. gentlemen, is what we would say
to you in the name of all who with us, and
better than ourselves, defend your cause
in Europe. Your words have cheered
us may ours in turn cheer you You
have yet to cross many dark valley
More than once the inipossibilitv of sue
cess will be demonstrated to you; more
than once, in the face of some military
check or political difficulty, the cry viii
be raised that all is lost What matters
it to you? Strengthen your cause daily,
by daily making it more just and fear
not: there is a God above.
We love to contemplate in hope the no.
BILE future which seems to stretch itself
before you. The day You emerge at last
from the anguish of civil war, and you
will surely ly come out freed from the odious
institution which corrupted your public
manners, and degraded your domestic as
well as your foreign policy, that day your
whole country, South as well as North,
will enter upon a wholly new prosperity.
European emigration will hasteif towards
your ports, and will learn the road to
those whom until now it has feared to APP
proach Cultivation, now abandoned, will
renew its yield. Liberty-for these are
her miracles-will reviyify by her touch
the soil which Slavery had rendered bar
ren.
Then there will be born unto you
greatness nobler and more stable than the
old, for in this greatness there will be no
sactifcc of Justice.

THE SPIDER ANDTuE ToAD.-The fol
lowing singular relation is furnished by a
correspondent of the Trdgclcy as having
been witnessed by person now living,
though occurring more than forty years
ago, about sixteen miles from this city:
The narrator said, that while walking in
the field he saw large black field spider,
considered of the most venomous species,
contending with common sized toad
The spider, being very quick in its move
mcnts, would get upon the back of the toad
and bite it, when the toad, with its fore
paw, would drive off the spider. Itwould
then hop to plaintain, which was growing
near by, and bite it, and then return to the
spider. After seeing this repeated sever
al times, and noticing that each time the
toad was bitten it went to the plaintain
the spectator thought hewould pull up the
plaintain and watch the result. He did
so. Being again bitten, and the plaintain
not to be found, the toad soon began to
swell and show other indications of being
poisoned, and died in short time. IF the
plaintain, which grows so abundantly near
almost every dwelling in this vicinity, was
such an immediate and effectual remedy
to the toad for the bite of the spider, can
we not reasonably infer that it would be an
effectual cure for man for the bite of. the
same insect?
