miscegena,ion under Democratic Auspices.

Miscegenation under Democratic Auspices
From the tone of the Democratic press
and politicians a neophyte would never mag
Inc that the horror of pro-slayery Democrats,
SO often and so vehemently expressed for
miscegenation," is newborn feeling, and
has not always distinguished the party which
claims TO have such an aversion for the mix
ing OF thes races. Probably many of the
younger members of the party may not be
aware that, less than thirty years ago, the
great and powerful Democratic party of this
nation elected TO the office OF Vice President
OF the United States, man who had raised
upa family OF children by negro wife, and
that he was made Senator in Congress and
Vice President OF the United States, by the
same great and dominant party, with this
niscegenetic fact staring them full in the
face. The facts that Col. Richard NJ. John
son lived with colored woman as his wife.
and that he always treated her as such, are as
notorious as any of kindred Importance
They were never denied; nor was the circum-
stantal statement of the Louisville Journal
in S32 that he that year married his two col
ored daughters to two white Democrats re-
siding in Scott County, KY, to whom he gave
each farm as his daughters portion.
Col. johnson was Democrat He was
many times sent to Congress by the Demo
Gratis OF his District, supported against Hen
ny Clay for Senator by those OF the whole
State, and finally twice run for Vice Presi-
dent by the Democrats of his State and the
whole country, and once elected
We have no purpose in revising this record
TO reproach the name of the honored dead
Col. Johnsan was an honest man and a true
patriot, and while we do not envy his taste,
and have no sympathy for his conduct in the
respect referred TO, we are free to say that
as compared with most SHAREHOLDERS, he looms
up like an angel of light. His conduct in
comparison with shareholders generally, is far
more accordant with morality, humanity and
the Divine Law. He treated the mother OF
his children as his ioife, and was not guilty OF
leaving her exposed to the fortunes of the
auction block, nor did he sell the offspring of
his own body into perpetual bondage In
this he did well. But what we would urge is
this: If miscegenation" is SO utterly abhor-
rent TO the instincts of Democrat, how
came the Democrats of Kentucky SO often to
select this same Richard NJ. johnson for Con-
gress? How came those OF the whole Union
to make him twice their candidate for Vice
President? and how came the people once to
elect him?

Letter from Traveller ON the Sound

EAGLEwooD, n. j., April 81, 1854.
To the Editor Of the Press:
left your goody city a few days since and
landed on the Jersey shore early the next
morning, from the New London boat, which
touches first on this side to give passengers
quick dispatch South.
The "City Of Boston" is a fine boat and the
full moonlight night was all that could be de-
sired. But one could not help thinking of the
good order maintained on board our Portland
steamers, while walked at intervals of twenty
to thirty minutes, from II to ) o'clock, by
three rowdes, perambulating the entire length
OF the cabin, shouting and cursing. Once or
twice about midnight heard what seemed TO
be feeble attempt at remonstrance and re-
straint, on the part Of walters or officers, but
after that the wretches had full swing, and
caused, fear, even more profane calculations
than they uttered. 1t was outrageous;
and II there is no more power or effort on the
boats Of this or other lines, to keep order,
would advise all travellers to avoid the Sound,
where they cannot be sound sleepers.
At Norwich we began to find patches OF
green replacing the snow still lying under the
fences on the Massachusetts, and Connecticut
hills.
l found Gov. Buckingham, and Gen. Will
Jams, with multitude OF the people of that
beautiful city, in attendance at Reed Hail. on
an exhibition of tablaux, &C., for soldiers aid
Rev. DIR. Bond, once of Bangor, has Just re-
signed twenty mine years pastorate at Nor
witch, and has been generously met by an an
nuity of 81 600 from his liberal parish.
In my next / may say something Of the
now closing fair in New York and of this
unique village, extending along the western
slope of the Palisades, whose summit affords
an unrivalled prospect. So no more, at pres
ent, from yours, vIAroR.

Of the contents of the package was entered

NEW YORK, March, s. 1854.
Alta meeting OF the Board of Directors of this

There shall be added TO each Policy issued, or
hereafter TO be issued, the following words This
Policy Is neontesable after Eve years from its date.
for or account of its errors omissions and mis-
statements Ia the application. except rs to age"
No other American Company offers this important
advantage to insurers. ALI Policies in force five
years. at once become incontestable under the ope
ration Of this rule, greatly enhancing their yaiue
both as to families and TO creditors. This liberal and
just measure should secure TO this Company increas
ed favor and patronage, ss exhibiting the strong de-
sire Of the Directors TO throw every proper and safe
advantage around the Policies. Many have object
ed TO taking Life Policies that in of error, il
mattered not how innocent. the iong-contnued pay
inents become lost and families deprived Of the
advantages proposed This objection is now remOy-
ed by this Company. Every State has its Statute
of Limitations. not to cover frsud and crime from
punishment, but TO protect the innocent and unwa-
