The so, 900 Esquimaux which Mr..
Seward has recently bought of Rus
sia, are rather Oil elephant to the
Nongrcl party. In some respects
that party might make them useful
members. For instance, travellers
agree that they are the greatest liars
on earth, and in this they would
be scrviceable to the party; but, it
is said that they will not steal,
which if true, would render them
very bad party 'men and brothers y
Then there is great danger that they
will divide the popular affections OF
the party between themselves and
the negroes. This may cause Sambo,
s'beautiful black darling" to be
jealous, and thus introduce new
element of discord. Day Book

said to them, "What is that which
did not come last year, but which
will come next ycar?' Secretary
Welles, in great distress of mind,
started up and said, II hopc:' Mr..
President, it is not my removal,

Mr.. Lincoln was so amused that he
at once promised to retain him until
the eud of his term; and that was
the reason why the venerable old
man was not removed.

The civilization of the South is
fast wearing away under Abolition
rule. The telegraph coolly informs
us that "thc greater part of Louisi-
ana is overhowed." Crevasse after
crcvassc has occurred, until the
most fertile portion Of the State has
been desolatcd. For three years in
succession has this taken place, and
every year it will no doubt grow
worse. until the people will be COM
peIIct to abandon the country. AL
this devastation is owing solely to
the abolition of so-caiied slavery
Previous to this suicidal event, the
planters, by combining together,
kept large gangs OF hands to watch
the.levees, and repair at the first
break every creyassc. Now, how
ever, the labor cannot be obtained,
and the result is, that not only are
crops ruined, but levees are swept
away, cattle are drowned, and even
human lives lost. Not less than
eighty negroes were drowned recent
ly by one crevasse. Of course the
result of such inundations will be to
throw the land out Of cultivation,
and eventually it must relapse into
it's original jungle. If the Abolition
policy is to rule our country forever,
the Jefferson purchase of Louisiana
was a greater folly than Seward S
