More Whining.

ing almost into Mysteries over the fact that
nigger in Ann Arundel County, Maryland
who was convicted of highway robbery, has
been sentenced to be sold for the period of
six months, in accordance with the laws of
that State. These poor, whimpering, whin
ing, h-hugging traitors can see an out
rage in a sentence on a niger, that would in
their estimation, be just award were the
criminal white man. Here in the North,
white men can be bought and sold like cat
tle-traded and bartered about, like so many
beasts-not on account of crimes-not be-
cause they have violated law-not because
they have committed murder = burned
houses outraged women or robbed men
but because they are poor because poverty
has made them public charges-paupers, to
be cared for and fed at public EXPENSE and
these long-faced, hypocritical abolition saints,
into whose eyes tears, as large as hickory
nuts, will gather, over the mere mention of
it. Massachusetts, and all New England
can sell their paupers every twelve months
do sell them to the best 6iddeT-and we hear
not word from these pretended humani-
tarians These paupers are white men
poor men, and Massachusetts, and New Eng
land are in the North-is the reason. Did
Maryland dare to sell her black paupers by
the year, it would be sufficient cause for the
Inauguration of another war-the raising up
of another Abraham Lincoln and the publ
cation of another emancipation proclamation
Such is the difference between what North
ern puritans will do themselves and what
they viii allow others to do VIII the
masses Of the people never get their eyes
open to the miserable fanaticism that con
trolls the party now trampling upon the
rights of the people of one-half our coun-
try? VIII they never see that sectional
hatred is the underlying principle of aboli-
tionism ?-Democratic IVatchman
THE LEDGER FOR 1854 Story Jy
Henry Ward Beecher-It has been, our
custom, as our readers are aware, to engage,
as contributors to the Ledger, some of the
most distinguished persons in the literary
world, not only in this country, but also in
Europe As proof of this we have only to
refer to Edward Everett, Charles Dickens,
George Bancroft, Henry Ward Beeche-, and
others, who, it is well known, have been
writer's for the Ledger. A feature of the
coming year will be story by Henry Ward
Beecher, written expressly for the Ledger,
which will extend through several months
In addition to this new feature, we shall con-
tinue to give the usual quantity Of matter
from our old and unrivslled corps of contrib
utors.
The Ledger, however, as we stated on a
former occasion, is its own best advertise
ment and prospectus. The mere fact that
we are printing over one hundred thousand
copies more than any other weekly or any
daily paper in the country, is pretty good
evidence that the Ledger is popular paper
Its great success, as we have repeatedly an
nounced, is owing to the fact that we spare
no expense in getting up the BEST FAMILY
PAPER-a paper of high moral tone. The
exalted reputation of its contributors, the
practical and invariably pure and healthy
character of all It's articles, the care which Is
taken that not even one offensive word shall
| appear in its columns, and the superiority of
its Tales and Sketches, have gained for the
Net0 Torh; Ledger position that no literary
paper has ever reached.
