What I naYe Noticed.
I liave noticed that all men sp^nk
well of a mail’s virtues when lie is
i dead, and the tombstones are tnark-
i ed with epitaphs of “good ami virtu-
■ ous.” Is there any particular cem
etery where the bad are buried ?
I have noticed that the prayer of
every selfish man is, “forgive us our
debts,” but he makes everybody who
owes him pay the utmost farthing.
I have noticed that death is a mer
ciless judge, though not impartial.—
Every man owes a debt. Death sum
mons the debtor to down the dust in
the currency of mortality.
Jake, and he set down ’long, side my
brother-in-law. He staid, but he
didn’t say a word. There wasn’t no
mistake about it. Shut your eyes
and you’d know it—for he was loud,
I tell you. There was a fust rate
chance to talk abolitionism, but broth
er-in-law never opened his head.
“Jake,” ser. I, “you be on hand nt
dinner-time;’ and lie was. He had
been working in the meadow all tho
forenoon—it was as hot as hickory and
toilin’ pitch—and—but I leave the
rest to your imagination.
“Wall, in the afternoon brother-in-
law, come np to me, madder than a

; their own bands the entire adminis-
| tration of the Government, ami thus
i procure and enforce a construction
of the Constitution favorable to their
i views.
After mature deliberation, I can
see but one reply, for this people, and
that is wnr—war in every sense by
which tho term i9 defined, or defina
ble. Can argument reach them ? It
is exhausted. Can law bind them ?
It is the law they are organized to dc-
Can appeals for jus-
It is justice to one

a man a rogue, is very certain to sec \ “Alose,’’ said he, “I want to speak

THE TRUTH DOTII NEVER DIE.
Though Kingdoms, Sta'es aud rail pirns fall,
And dynasties decay.
Though cities crumble into dust,
And nations die away ;
Though gorgeous tower* and palace.
In heaps oi ruins lie.
Which once were proudest of the proud.
The truth doth never die!
We’ll mourn not o’er the silent past;
Its glories are not fled.
Although its men of high renown
Be numbered with the dead.
We'll grieve not o’er what earth has lust,
It cannot claim n sigh ;
For the wrung alone have perished,
The truth doth never die I
All of the Past is living still—-
All that is good mid tme:
The rest hath perished, and it did
Deserve to perish, too!
The world mils ever muud and round,
’ And time rolls ever hy ;
An 1 the wrong i* ever rooted up.
But the tr.uh doth never die!
a big rascal Diogenes mu3t have
been at that rate.
I have noticed that money is the
fool’s wisdom, the krave’s reputation,
the wise man’s jewel, the rich man’s
trouble, the poor man's desire, the
covetous man’s ambition, ami thb
j idol of all.
I have noticed that merit is always
j measured in this world hy its suc
cess.

A Parisian Quack.
At the theatre of the Varieties
ther •• is an actress, one of the best
in Paris, who has the misfortune to
be exceedingly, deplorably thin—we
might almost say, scrawny. A short
time since she heard of a doctor, who,
it was said had succeeded in man
ufacturing tv mineral waterwhicli had
the power of making people grow fat
She went to him instanter.
“Doctor,” said she, “what must I
do to get fai ?”
“Take my waters.”
“And I shrill grow fat?’’
“Immediately.”
The thin actress plunged into the
doctor’s baths, and drank the water
early and late. -Three months pas
sed away, but she grew no fatter.
At last she called the doctor, and
said:
“Doctor, I dont grow fat.”
’ “Wait a little while,’’ replied the
doctor.
“Will it he long ?’’
“Fifteen days at farthest. You
see that big,- fat woman walking in
the garden. When she first came
here she was, perhaps, thinner than
you.”
“What! I may hope ?” ^
“Fifteen days at most,” said the
doctor. # _
Two more months passed; the ne
tress grew thinner nnd thinner. One
day as she was taking, her warm min
eral water bath, she heard a dispute
going on in the bathing yoom next
to her own.
“Decidedly, dofctor,’’ said the big
fat woman above introduced, “de
cidedly, doctor,” I don’t get a bit
thinner.’’
“Have patience, madamc,’’ Bait!
the doctor; “you see that very thin
lady who sometimes walks in the gar
den ?”
“Yes.”
“Well, she is an actress from the
Varieties, whose excessive fat forced
her to absent herself from the fitage.
She came to me; you see the result.
Before fifteen days, I promise yon
shall be thinner than she is.'’
At these words the young actress
arose from her warm baths,- dressed
herself, nnd, with a heart divided hy
grief and indignation, silently left
the house, hoping however, to keep
her misfortune a secret; but in Paris
it is an imposibility, anti somehow or
other the secret got ont.
mend it to our readers, for their pe
rusal, and if they think aa Godey
does, no one will be without at least
one paper, and especially the one pub

Does anybody take the same de
light in reading newspapers as we
do ? Is there not always something
in a paper, no matter how old thaC
will interest yon? No matter how
Jong we are away from home we have
every paper saved for ns; and how
we revel over them! They are new
and we often find articles that we
should have been sorry to miss.
Why then does not everybody take
at least one paper and that paper be
tho nearest to you that is, you that

saved from her regular wages, and

Test or Abolitionism.
The Charleston Mercury says, nil
is not gold that shines, and the loud
est-mouthed philanthropists and re
formers sometimes enve in when put
to a severe practical test like the fol
lowing :
“I had a brother-in-law,” said
Mose Perkins, “who was one of the
ravenest, maddest redrlust, hottest
aboltionists you ever saw. I liked
the pesky critter well enough, and
should have, been glad to see him
cum t08pcnd a day, fetchin' my sister
to see me and my wife, if he hadn’t
’lowed his tongue to run on so ’bout
niggers and slavery, and the •equal
ity of races, and the duty of over
throwing the Constitution of the
United States, nnd a lot of other
apology in this manner:

it was me, but its nather of us!”

American Honors to Science.—It
is noticed with great satisfaction in
Berlin papers, and cannot fail to be
gratifying to every American heart,
that at the grave of Humboldt the
United States were represented by
their Minister at Berlin and a repre
sentative from each State of the Un
ion, gathered for that purpose at
Berlin from diffei ent parts of the
Continent. The arrangrtnent was ;
equally creditable to our Minister
and our country.’
...A farmer charged a hired man
with having bad breath;'“thunder
and lightning,’” satd the man, “do
you expect a man to breathe anusk

After the discussions of nearly hall
a centutury on the various issues pre
sented by the institution of slavery
in its relations to the Federal auu
State Governments, the country, it
seems to me, has arrived at a point
where these discussions, with all theii
■ dangerous tendencies, may be ter
minated on a correct and safe basis,
honorable to all men and to every
section of the Union—If, indeed, a
settlement and peace on any basis
whatever be possible.
Whataver may have been open
questions on this subject heretofore,
every honest thinker is compelled
now to see, that there is no ground
for differences of opinion or action
among those who seek the truth, anti
really desire to obey tjie laws, and let
the country have peace. If this be
true, nnd agitators still continue to
distract us, we may know that truth
is not their object, law is not t’leii
rule, and with such agreement it is im
possible, and all further labor to se
cure it would be idle. With all so
bent, argument is simply folly.
The Supreme Judicial Tribunal of
the United States lias solemnly de
cided that our Southern citizens are
co-equal otvners of the Territories,
and that to these territories the South
ern man hnsa right to carry hisslavcs
and there hold them with precisely
the same lights belonging to any
other citizen from any other section
with any other property; and tlia'
the General Government has no pow
er to destroy, or abridge; or in any
manner render ineffectual the enjoy
ment of this right and this property.
In so deciding, the Court but declared
simple and jjll.um clementarwpri■ ioi-
pics of Cotetitutioual law. .vjjjjfih, with
many of us, were never ^wisi !ered
doubtful. Whatever of honesty char
ity may have accorded to those tvho
professed to think otherwise, hereto
fore, certainly no man has even a
rignt to think otherwise now, since
obedience to law is a duty.
The Court not only decided that
the General Government could not
exclude us from the terr tories, but
with equal emphasis lias also declared
that this power to exclude, not being
possessed, could not be- delegated to
any Territorial Government or power.
Since writing the foregoing l have
re-exaJiiiied the decision, and cannot
refrain from extracting the following
sentence:
“And no words can be found in
th& Constitution which gives Con
gress a greater power over slave pro
perty, or which entitles property of
that kind to list protection than pro
perty of any other description. The
only powor conferred is the power
coupled with the duty of grading and
protecting the owner in his rights.”
We then perceive that the whole
question of right, power and duty, in
relation to* s’averv in the Territories
has been set'.led ; and settled too, not
by a party platform to be changed or
violated as policy, or caprice, or bad
faith might dictate ; not by the Kan
sas bill, nor by any Congressional
olution, nnd hallowed by every recol
lection that cun endear, and strong
in every promise that can inspire hope
—if our. present Constitution cannot
command the respect of fanaticism, I
can confide in uo other agreement
with the fanatic short of an absolute
surrender.
Formerly, the powers of the Gene
ral Government on this subject might
be regarded, in charity, as an open
question, and resistance to the mere
election of a person entertaining dif
ferent views from ourselves, might
not have been so easily defended;
hut to resist the success* of such a
party, with such purposes, now, can
uo longer be regarded *3 other than
a right ami a duty ; because, since
these decisions by the Court, such a
party is seeking nothing but a plain,
open and defiant violation of the law
—the law which makes us equals—
anil to submit to them is to submit to
traitors, and by tbo submission, our
selves would become accessories to
the crime of treason, and that too
against a Government which tho re
bels seek to destroy oftly because it
protects onr firesides, our property
and onr all. This states the conclu
sion strongly, but logic never led to
tt truer conclusion, nor patriotism
wanned to a nobler one.
The second assault comes from the
Democratic party, or at least the
wing oCthat party led by Senator
Douglas.
These enemies, set-out by admit- »
ting that the Drcd Scott "decision is
law—that the Southern uian has the
right to take his slave to the common
territory, and that Congress shall
not prohibit him from doing so.—
This is :i long way on the road to*
right, but if it led, by a crook, to tho
same goal as the first, it is all the
more dangerous, since honest men
may be seduced to travel it.
What else does Mr. Douglas and
his followers say ? They say we have
the right to carry our staves lo the
territories, but the right or power to
hold them there is a different thing,
and this shall depend upon the will
of a majority of the territorial settlers.
That tve have the right to carry onr
slaves to the territories, and hold
them if wc can, but that if, after tve
get there, the Territorial Legislature,
or the people, or the mob, shall di»-
criminate against us, or refuse to pro
tect us by the enforcement of law’
or shall take our property away,, or
not acknowledge our right of proper
ty in slaves, ov shall otherwise reu-
der them useless—why, the Govern
ment must not interfere, but wc must
submit, or help ourselves as best vre
can! This is a fair statement of
“Popular Sovereignty," falsely sp.
called, and it does seem to me its very
statement is enough to enlist every
honest man against it.
The naked doctrine is that while
wc have a right to our property irt
slaves in a territory, yet, if the pow
ers in the Territory choose to invade
that right, or render useless that pro
perty,'we have no remedy! To a
act, subject to double constructions i no P ro .P? srt,on C0U,<1 Lc more
to suit latitqdcs, and repeals to suit I absurd, to a citizen none more shock-
prejudices ; bnt settled by the Su- ,n S’ i,n ' 110 a cnntr,d statesman none
prcuie Court, and settled ns the law
of the Constitution plainly and dis
tinctly declared, and thus "lifted high
nbovo tlvo clamor of the politician,
and the designing trickery of party
conventions. "
The.people then, my dear sir, have
nothing to do hut to demand that
this law, and that .the rights thu3 se
cured shall no longer be the wind
whistles for demagogues at the hust
ings, nor_ the subject for Delphic sen
tences of platform cqamentatqrs.—
Here lies the rock of safety to the
South—peace to the Union—pros
perity to the county—aqd of . death
to small men.

No man who fairly obseves the
current of political- events, can fail
to sec that two dangerous assaults
are now being made upon these wise
1 ml correct decisions, and the rights
they’ involve. The one assault open
ly attacks nnd seeks to overturn the
decisions ; the other, while pretend-
ng to admit, adroitly evades and
seeks to rentier them nugatory in
effect. °
The first of these assaults is made
ov the Northern Republican party.
This party openly declares that the
decisions fit the Dred Scott and Amy
cases are wrong and shall be reversed.

more disgusting,
To sustain this doctrine of Senator
Douglas and his followers, we have to
admit at least four positic
sutnpltons, cacti of wtiten
anti palpable error,.qnd all of which
are neither more nor less than abo
lition dogmas.
1st. This doctrine assumes that
the tenure b) which we hold proper
ty in slaves, is different from that by
which we hold.other chattel property.
But in fact, our title to a s|averis pre
cisely. the same everywhere," and es
pecially as members *of the Federal
Government, as the trite ifo ouf horse,
and the law of the United States,
which makes it larceny in thff terri
tories to steal a thing of value, makes
it larceny to steal iny slave,
2nd. It assumes that special legis
lation is- necessary to create, or at
least ’o preserve property in slaves,
ami that more especially are tve in
tho power of Territorial Legislation
on this subject. . I am aware that
one or two party*lcndcrs of notorie
ty from the South have admitted that
slavery is an institution which de
pends solely upon the municipal law
of the place where it exists; but-this
position is contrary to all the au
thorities ou the subject, and contrary
to the direct decisions of the United
States Courts. Besides, it must be
remembered in this connection, that
these same party leaders, hav?at some
period, managed to ad .nit al
not altogether, every d
soilism. I write this in no spirit of
crimination, but onl, bc^atw^ it is
