I love the girls—l love them all : The gay, the f.iir, the sad and meek ; Their eyes of blue, that skies recall, Or those so dark that love bespeak. 1 love them all in silks arrayed, Or neatly decked in homely trim ; For every one hath charms displayed, Silks ne'er enhance, or shreds bedim. I love them all—for all can smile, And speed the gloom from brows that tire ; And all have hands for tender toil, To pet the babe, or ease the sire. Each hath a heart to feel and throb, To share our woes, or pleasant hours; To laugh our glee, or with us sob, And call its own our lights and showers. I love them all—l love their joy, Their romping bouts, and careless song; And could not look with frowning eye Upon their freaks in gleesome throng. I love their laugh, its silvery peel, For it proclaims life can be bright; That sunny gleams can sweetly steal Amid the gloom of this world's night. I love them all—and who docs not? For all “creation’s Lords” have known, In sutfering whiles, or dismal lot, Tlic soothing cares which are their own. Then, love them all witli all your might, And evil thoughts which souls degrade, Or sorrows's pang with venomed bite, Your hallowed hearts will ne’er invade! EASY JDK BRUCE. BY J. HASTINGS WELD. “ Wliew ew-ew !” whistled Mr. Joseph Bruce, or pet haps we should rather say Joe Bruce, for, as he was a noble, easy fellow, nobody thought of allowing him that half his name, or of anything else which belong ed to him, — !! I sen by the paper that Hawk Harpy have assigned. I meant to have secured my debt yesterday!” He left his coffee half drank, stumbled over the threshold, and went almost at a run to the counting-room of Hawk & Harpy. One half that speed on the day before would have saved his debt, —as it was, he was just in season to put on bis name at the bottom of a dozen and a half preferred ones, to recieve ten per cent. He went back to bis unfinished breakfast with what appetite he might. “ Why did you neglect this so long, Mr. Bruce ?” said his helpmate and comforter. “ I meant to have amended to it yester day, my dear.” “ You meant ! That is always your way, Mr. Bruce. You carelessly neglect your business to the last moment, and then put yourself in a haste and a heat for no thing, my dear.” “ Really, Mrs. Bruce, —” But Mrs. Bruce did nit allow him a chance to defend himself. On she went, in the most approved conjugal manner, to berate him for his carelessness and inat tention. “ Really, Mrs. Bruce, —” And it was really Mrs. Bruce, for few of the feminine, and none of the masculine gender, could have kept pace with her. Certainly Easy Joe could not. The clat ter of a cotton-mill would not have been a circumstance to the din she raised—nay. we doubt whether a philippic against one of those said mills, from the lungs of Hen ton Tonans, could have been heard above her voice. Easy Joe pulled a cigar-case out of his pocket—clapped his feet on the fender —and it almost seemed that the smoke rendered his ears impervious to the bleatings of that gentle lamb, his spouse, so placid was his countenance, as the va por escaped in graceful volumes from his mouth. People overshoot the mark some times—Mrs. Bruce did. Had she spared her oration, the morning’s loss would have induced her husband to have been punc tual to bis business, for one day at least. As it was, he took a sort of pride in neg lecting it under her lecture. “ Breeze away, Mrs. Bruce.” “ Breeze away, sir ! Breech away ! 1 wish 1 could impart one tittle of my ener gy to you, Mr. Bruce—l l—” Bruce sprang to his feet, and crash ! came an elegant mantle clock down upon the hearth. “ There, Mr. Bruce ! That clock has stood there three months without fasten ing—a single screw would have saved it— but—” “Well. I meant to—” “You meant! Mr. Bruce, you meant wont pay the damage,nor Hawk tc Harpy’s note ! You meant, indeed !” Bruce seized his hat and cloak. Ia few minutes he was on ’Change. Nobody could read in his face any traces of the late matrimonial breeze, and nobody would have suspected from his countenance that Hawk &; Harpy failed in his debt. Easy Joe Bruce. “ Well, Mr. Bruce, they’ve routed him.” “ Who ?” “ Our friend Check Pingree was chosen president of the Bank, this morn ing. One vote would have stopped him.” “ How very unlucky. I meant to have been present to vote for Beck myself.” “ Never mind, Bruce,” said another. “You are a lucky man. The news of the great fire at Speedville has just reached town by express, and I congratulate you that you were fully insured.” “ Not a penny !” said Bruce, “My policy expired last week, and I meant to have got it renewed this morning.” Joe posted home in no very happy hum our.—When an easy man is lastly up, he is the most uueasy and unreasonable man in creation. “ Mrs. Bruce, by staying at home to hear you scold, I have lost thousands. I meant to have got insured this morning 1 did not—Speedville is burned down,ahd I am a beggar.” “ Why did you not do it yesterday, Mr. Bruce 1” “ I was thinking of Hawk & Harpy.” “ Thinking! Why did you not secure yourself?” “ I meant to, but—” “ But—use no huts—” “ You are in excellent spirits, Mrs. Bruce.” “ Never in better.” “ Vastly fine, madam. We are beg gars.” Mrs. Bruce sat down, clapped her feet on the fender, after her husband’s manner in the morning. “ We are beggars, madam,” Bruce re peated. “Very good—l will take my guitar, and you shall shoulder the three children. We ll play under Mr. Hawk’s window first, then under Mr. Harpy’s, and then we will beg our way to Speedville, to play to the ashes of what was once your factory, —which you meant lo have insured. 1 should like begging above all things.” “ You abominable woman, I shall go mad ” “ Don’t, I beseech you, Mr. Bruce. They put mad beggars in Bedlam.” Bruce sprang for the door. His wife intercepted him. “ Here, Joseph, is a paper 1 meant to have shown you this mor ning.” “ A policy ! And dated yesterday !” “ Yes. You meant to get it renewed to day—l meant it should be done yesterday —so I told your clerk, from you, to do it. Am I not an abominable woman 1” “ When 1 said so, I was in a pet. I meant—” “No more of that, Joseph. Now tell me who is first on Hawk & Harpy’s as signment.” “ Your brother.” “ His claim covers you both.” ” \ ou are an angel!” Easy Joe became an altered man, and his wife was released from her watch over his out-door business. She died some years before him—but we are half inclined to suspect, that aftei her death Joe parti ally relapsed into his old habits—so true it is, that habit is a second nature. Both were buried in the grave-yard at Speed ville, and our suspicions are founded on something like the following conversation —between the grave-digger and his assis tant : “ Where are we to dig Mr. Bruce’s grave ?” “ I don’t know exactly. His will says, next his wife.” “ Where was she laid ?” “ That l don’t know. Easy Joe always said he meant to place an obelisk over her, but it was never done.” From the Model American Courier. A Short Storv for Little Readers. —A long time’ago there was a wise King on the throne of En gland. His name was Alfred the Great. His father’s name was Ethelwolf. He was twenty two years old, when he began to reign. England was then at war with the Danes. Alfred was a very brave man. He fought many battles with the Danes. At last he was beaten. The people became discouraged They would not light any more—Alfred had to flee. ’He took off his kingly dress. He put on the dress of a peasant. He was servant to a gtazier for some time At length he retired to a swamp with a few friends. He built a castle in the mid dle of the swamp. His enemies could not find him. He lived at the castle for a year. He often came out of the castle and fought the Davies. But they did not know where he came from. At length he disguised himself as a harper. He vis ited the Danish camp. —The Danes did not suspect him. '1 hey let him go through the camp. He saw that they were off their guard. He returned to his friends, and led an army against the Danes.—He routed them totally. There were many robbers and bad per sons in England at that time. Alfred wished to make them good citizens. He made many wise laws. Every man had to watch over his own family, ls any member of the family did wrong, the fath er was punished. All ihe people were divided into com panies. There were ten families in each company. Each family had to watch over their neighbor, and an officer was set over every company to keep them in order. Thus the people improved rapidly. They became very honest. Alfred hung up gol den bracelets near the road to try the peo ple, and nobody would steal them. They were afraid of the laws. '1 his great King reigned twenty-nine years. He fought fifty-six battles. He was fond of learning. He wrote many books, and set up many schools. He died in the year 900. Earth and Heaven.— -Hillet wander ed on a moon and starlight night, with his disciple Sadi, among the gardens of the Mount of Olives. Then spake Sadi : “ See yonder a man in the moonlight: what does he ?” Hillet said : “ It is Tadok ; he sits by tho grave of his son and weeps.” “ Cannot Tadok,” spake tho youth, “mod erate his mourning ? People name him the just and wise.” Hillet replied; “ Shall he not, therefore, experience pain ?” “ But,” replied Sadi, “ what ad vantage, then, hath the wise man over the fool ?” The teacher answered : “ See, his bitter tears sink to the earth, but his face is turned up to heaven." POETRY OK SCIENCE. BY ROBERT HUNT. The Electricity of a Tear.— We tremble when the thunder cloud bursts in fury above our heads: the poet seizes on the terrors of the storm to add to the interest of his verse. Fancy paints a storm-king, and the genius of romance clothes his de mons in. lightnings and they are heralded by thunders, 'i hese wild imaginings have been the delight of mankind :— there is subject for wonder in them :—but is there anything less wonderful in the well authenticated fact, that the dewdrop which glistens on the flower, that the tear which trembles on the eyelid, holds locked in its transparent cells an amount of electric fire equal to that which is discharged during a storm from a thunder-cloud ? Faraday has shown,by the most conclu sive experiments, “ that the electrici'y which decomposes, and that which is evol ved by the decomposition of, a certain quantity of matter are alike. What an enormous quantity of electrcity, therefore, is required for the decomposition of a sin gle grain of water! We have already seen that it must be in quantity sufficient to sus tain a platinum wire 1-104 of an inch in thickness, red hot in contact with the air, for three minutes and three quarters. It would appear that 800,000 charges of a Leyden battery, charged by thirty turns of a very large and powerful plate machine, in full action—a quantity sufficient, if passed at once through the head of a rat or cat to have killed it, as by a flash of lightning— are necessary to supply electricity suffi cient to decompose a single grain of water; or, if 1 am right to equal the quantity of electricity which is naturally associated with the elements of that grain of water endowing them with their mutual chemical affinity.” Gravitation. —Science has developed the grand truth, that it is by the exercise ofthis all-pervading influence that the earth is retained in its orbit—that the crystal globe of dew which glistens on the leaf is bound together—that the debris which floats upon the lake accumulates into one mass—that the sea exhibits the pheno mena of tides—and the aerial ocean its barometric changes. In all things this force is active, and throughout nature it is ever present. Our knowledge of the laws which it obeys, enables us to conclude that the sun and distant planets are consoli dated masses like this earth. We find that they have gravitating power, and by comparing this influence with that exerted by the eaith, we are enabled to weigh the mass of one planet against another. In the balance of the astronomer it is as easy to poise the remote star, as it is for the engineer to calculate the weight of the iron tunnel of the Conway, or any other mechanical structure. Thus throughout the universe the balance of gravitating force is unerringly sustained. If one of the most remote of those gems of light, which flicker at midnight in the dark dis tance of the starry vault was, by any pow er, removed from its place, the disturbance of these delicately balanced mysteries would be felt through all the created sys tems of worlds. Light. — Light is necessary to life ; the world was a dead chaos before its creation and mute disorder would again be the con sequence of its annihilation. Every charm which spreads itself over this rolling globe is directly dependent upon luminous pow er. Colors, and often probably, forms, are die result of light, certainly the con sequence of solar radiations. We know much of the mysterious influences of this great agent, but we know nothing of the principal itself. The solar beam lias been tortured through prismatic glasses and na tural crystals. Every chemical agent has been tried upon it, every electrical force in the most excited state brought to bear upon its operations,with a view to the dis covery of the most refined of earthly agen cies ; but it lias passed through every trial without revealing its secrets, and even the effects which it produces in its path are unexplained problems still to tax the in tellect of man. First Knowledge of Electricity.— If a piece of amber, electrum, is briskly rubbed, it acquires the property of attrac ting to it light bodies. This curious pow er excited the attention of Thales, of Miletus ; and from the investigations of this Grecian philosopher we must date our knowledge of one of the most important of the natural forces—Electricity. lfan inquiring mind had not been led to ask why does this curious vegetable pro duct attract a feather, the present age, in all probability, would not have been in possession of the means by which it is ena bled to transmit intelligence with a rapi dity which is only excelled hy that of the “ swift winged messengers of thought.” To this age of application a striking lesson does this amber teach. Modern untility would regard Thales as a madman. Hold ing a peice of yellow resin in his hand, rubbing it. and then picking up bits of down, or catching floating feathers, the Greek would have appeared a very im becile, and the cut bono generation would have laughed at his silly labors. But when he announced to his school that this amber held a soul or essence which was awakened by friction, and went forth from the body in which it previously lay dormant, and brought hack the small particles float ing around it, he gave to the world the first hint of a great truth which has ad vanced our knowledge of a physical phe nomena in a marvellous manner, and ministered to the refinements and to the necessities of civilization. From the .Vatchrz Courier. Railroad to the Pacific Ocean. Mr. Editor : —Sometime ago I sent you a communication on this subject, and as it lias since engaged many abler pens, I should not have written more, but for the call that has been made for a Convention at Memphis, on the 4th of July next. • In this convention Natches and New Orleans ought certainly to be represented. The object is to make Memphis, or rather a point opposite Memphis, a terminus of the road ; but it should be, to obtain a survey by government, with a view to ascertain the shortest and most practicable route. Many reasons might be given for the belief that the result of such survey would be, the selection of a terminus much lower down. Col. Benton has made a bold move in the Senate on this subject, which will be followed by another, and another,with his accustomed perseverance and energy : but he will all the while fix his eyes upon St. Louis as the eastern terminus ; and this he will persist in doing, in spite cf all that can be said about the 40 feet of snow which has overwhelmed his son in-law, Col. Fre mont, upon the very route he recommends. Who would ever have the courage to plunge into that 40 feet of snow, or even four feet of snow, in a gorge of the Rocky Mountains, hundreds of miles from any habitation, and with the thermometer standing at 20 degrees below zero ! If a proper survey can be obtained, all these northern routes will be abandoned, and one will be selected having San Diego for its western, and some point below the latitude of 32 for its eastern terminus. This will be found the shortest, over the best soil, in the best climate, and by far the least mountainous. Snow and ice will never interrupt or impede the travel, and ships of the largest class can approach both its termini, at all seasons of the year. From the Charleston Courier.. Artesian Sulphur Water in Charles ton. —Having casually had my attention directed to the Well on Mrs. Horry’s es tate, at the corner of Meeting and Tradd streets, I was led to visit it, and make a few experiments upon the character of the water it affords. Much to my surprise, 1 found it to be a mild, but decided sulphur water, strongly analagous to the sulphur springs connected with the coal formation in Ohio and Illinois. It is limpid, and light to the taste, (enabling a person to drink several tumblers without a feeling of sa tiety or oppression.) Its temperature is 69°. The sulphurited hydrogen, beside being very obvious to the taste, is indicated by the brown color ed precipitates it occasions when treated with the usual metallic tests, (nitrate of silver and acetate of lead.) It seems to be entirely deficient in the sulphate of lime, so abundant in the common well waters of the city. Indeed, it gives no indication (in the unevaporated state) of the presence of any sulphate whatever. The propor tion of chloride of calcium is also below that of the common well water ; while it possesses traces of carbonate of soda,an in gredient very common to sulphur waters. When a thorough analysis is made of this water, I predict, that traces of chol ride of sodium and magnesium will be found in it; also, bi-carbonate of magnesia and lime. The promising nature and abundant quantity of this water are such as to merit the establishment of a house somewhere in its vicinity, for the accommodation of the public. Its value fully equals, in mv opinion, the entire cost of all that lias thus far been expended in Charleston in search of pure water. C. U. SHEPARD. Charleston, May 5, 1849. Self-Affection.— An Irish laborer plunged into the river and hauled out a gentleman who was accidentally drown ing; the gentleman rewarded Pat with a six pence. “ Well,”said the dripping miser, seeing Pat’s doubtful pause, “ ain’t you satisfied? Do you think you ought to have more?” —“ Och ! ’ answered the poor fellow, looking hard at the one he had rescued, “ I think I’m overpaid !” The State Road —Tlie Ringgold Republi can, says: We had occasion a few days since to visit several places on the unfinished part of this work, and were please I to find it progressing as rapidly as what it is. It is nothing but due the contractors to say, that they are using every ex ertion, within their power, to have the road completed hy the first of October next, which we are almost confident will be done at that time, or a short time thereafter, should nothing im pede their progress. The finishing of the tun nel and raising some dozen or more bridges, which we understand are all framed and ready for putting up, is very nearly all that is to do, the other work, that of laying down the timber on the track having been completed—save a few miles. Gold in Clark County,Ga —The Southern Recorder of the 18th says We learn from an authentic source, that Mr. E. Summers and two other gentlemen of this county, have discovered a gold mine ofconsiderable extent. They have procured several specimens for the purpose of having its quality tested, which has been pro nounced equal to the North Carolina gold. It is said to be on the public lands, hence the ne cessity of keeping the location a secret until the lands are entered by the discoverers- Should this mine prove to bo gold, as asserted, it will surely add much to the wealth of Clarke county as Mr. Summers states that the ground is cov ered with oar similar to that furnished by him for inspection-” Elections. —During the present year elec tions will be held in the following Stales for Members to Congress, viz : New Hampshire, June 6; North Carolina, August 2; Tennessee, August 2; Alabama, August (i; Indiana, August 6 ; lowa, August 6; Kentucky, August 6; Mary land, October 3; Louisiana, Novembers; Mis sissippi, November 5.

Politi cal affairs on the Continent were still unsettled. Mechanics’ Society We regret that other engagements prevented us from hearing only a part of the able and eloquent address delivered before this Society on Thursday evening last, by S. T. Chapman, Esq. We have not time at present to give an outline of the address, as we took no notes at the time, therefore can only say that we were highly gratified, in common with the large audience present, with the truly eloquent effort of the speaker ; who, instead of endeavoring to tickle the fancy of his hearers, labored by producing statistical data and well established truths, to convince their judgments, of the propriety of encouraging to a greater ex tent at home and at the South, the various Mechanic arts. We hope that the Society will have the excellent address published, as its pa triotic and manly sentiments, whilst they reflect merited honor upon its author, cannot fail to ad vance the interests of the association and commu nity at large. Thf. Weather. — We have had se\ eral heavy rains during the past week, which have revived the crops in this section very much. On Thurs day afternoon we had some hail in the city as large as rifle bullets, which came from a heavy cloud in the South-west, and from the sudden change in the atmosphere, which rendered fires quite comfortable to a late hour yesterday, must have been very extensive in the up-country. Sabbath School Celebration.— The Union celebration of the various Sabbath Schools in this city and vicinity, came off on Saturday last. The number of scholars, their ge.neral good or der, and the universal interest manifested in be half of the interesting scene, all conspired to render the day one long to be remembered, not only by those participating in the festivities of the occasion, but by all who feel concerned in the moral welfare of the community. After the Schools, with their Superintendents and Teachers, had formed in procession at tlic Acad emy square, they proceeded through Walnut, Third and Mulberry Streets, to the Methodist Church, where the representatives of the differ ent Schools entertained the audience with ad. dresses, and the children joined in singing sev eral very delightful hymns. Being there dis. missed, the several companies repaired to their places of refreshment, and partook of the ample collations provided for the purpose. Nothing occurred during the day to occasion regret, and we presume the hearts of the parents and teach ers of the pupils were lastingly encouraged in their praiseworthy enterprise. Foreign News.— We give the following ad ditional it°ms by the steamship America : The Dri ish Government takes no part or re sponsibility in the expedition of the French troops for the restoration of the Pope to temporal power On the day of the sailing of the America, from Liverpool, Cotton was steady, but no change in prices. There was but a moderate business do ing. In Ireland, the utmost misery prevails. The jury in the case of Duffy have again disagreed, and he has been set at liberiy on bail. Lord Gough has defeated and overwhelmned the Sikhs, and the war in the Punjaub is consid ered at an end. Brown, Shipley & Co’s. Circular of the 20th of April states that Cotton is dull and declining.— The imports for the week amounted to 23,500 bales, and the stock on hand amounted to 457,000 bales, of which 309’000 are American. tUpThe following gentlemen were elected on Monday last, Directors for the Bank of the State of Georgia, at Savannah, viz : Messrs. A. Porter, R. Hutchison, N. A. Hardee, 11. D. Weed, C.P. Richardsone, W. T. Williams, B. Snider, and Joseph Washburn. The latter elected to fill the place of W. B. Hodgson, Esq., resigned. At a meeting of the board on Tuesday, Mr. A. Porter was unanimously re-elected President. Cotton. —The Receipts of Cotton at all the ports to Ist inst. were 2,447,689 bales—agains l 1,991,386, same lime last year. Stock on hand same date 414,981 bales—against 428,892 same time date last season. The receipts since Ist September exceed those of last year 163,573 bales, and the exports 458,- 171 bales. The receipts at Savannah up to the Bth inst. are 68,847 bales greater than in any previous year.

It refused to consent to the Arbitration question of difference with the Southern Church, by a vote of yeas 30 to nays 63. Baptist Triennial Convention. —We learn from the Southern Baptist that the Southern Baptist Convention, which was to have met at Nashville,Tennessee, on the 2d instant, has been changed, in consequence of the reported preva lence of Cholera there.

O’The latest accounts from Montreal repre sent the city comparatively quiet, there has been no new outbreak. There is nothing doing in Parliament. The excitement still continues in Upper Canada, but there has been as yet no at tack PARTY SPIRIT. There is nothing which deserves from thet patriofmore stern reprehension, than an e ,/ of ardor in political partisanship, as an evil and. gerous firjiii its inception and destructive to country’s welfare. There can be no doubt a. constituted as the human understanding 0 is, wherever it shall be freed from the fetter, ignorance or the yoke of tyranny, there will, j ist a diversity of opinions, upon the various Sli jects presented to it. Hence it is, that j n popular governments, the citizens have (u r „ different opinions upon national topics— and those who thought alike would naturally act concert, and by a disciplined organization co best succeed in accomplishing their desis. parties were established. This there can be no doubt, will proveaust institution, as long as the partisan adheres tot cause which he has espoused, because of his ct viction of its propriety, and his love of counti, is not merged in that of mere party. The c, diet of mind caused by the agitation of van political topics, elicits naturally, new ideasur, those discussed. Every error in the nation policy is brought to light, and the State enj: , the blessing of a wise and enlightened leg,. - tion. But as soon the object of the partisan i* comes tho success of his party, and not the go., of his county—as soon as lie is prepared to ~ port the basest and most unprincipled demagog in opposition to the gentleman of integrity—, soon as he views those who disagree with hit as enemies, for exercising their undoubted r i e k to think and act for themselves, the way j* p!, ed for future discord and intestine war, to i, concluded by a violent disposscssal of the rig; of both, by a foreign enemy or domestic usurper The people of the United States ought nneij to encourage this uncharitable excess of part, I spirit, as our whole political system is base upon the supposition of the capability of ma| for self-government—and the whole power tl the State is not merely theoretically, but praci cally vested in the people. It would, therefor!: seem to be the height of absurdity, that whilj we concede to our neighbor the right of s;'. government, we should be displeased with hit| for exercising it. When we examine the strut.| ture of our government, we must become sals fied, that an excess of party zeal would brin» J its train evils of a more serious nature, than if like amount of it has ever caused to lar governments. Our national structure is peculiar—it is coi stituted now by thirty sovereign States, eachislj dependent of the other in all its domestic afiain The powers delegated to the general govei: ment being precisely marked and defined, wen only sucliaswere necessary to its cxistence whilst ability to enforce its commands, was# strictly limited, as to make obedience to its k bests become rather voluntary than compulson The States which constitute this confedeisr have a variety of conflicting interests, caused! a diversity of soil, climate, productions and evu of domestic institutions. It has therefore a, ways been necessary, in order that all the parti should work harmoniously together, to adopt tin policy of mutual concession of conflicting int restsfor the general welfare. But there is on subject, viz. that of allowing Congress the rig! to legislate upon the slavery question, whirl tlie people of the slavehohling States can neve submit to compromise without surrendering the: rights in the same ratio. Unfortunately lb question has been drawm by designing dean gogues into the party issues of the country—par ticularly in tlie noii-slaveholding States—at: we know of no more effectual way for theSoui! to arrest this aggression upon tier reserved righa than by uniting to protect her interests in ihd property, and requiring from her Senators antM equivocal rejection for any office, ofany Wilnmi provisuist, that may be presented for their sat-i tion at any time. We think this would be ail effectual remedy, as it would check the zeal cl many aspiring men in the iion-s!aveho!d;% States, who are seeking to aggrandize lliemseivu by agitating the slavery question and identifyii{| it with party issues in that section of the UnioL Tlie instant therefore that political partizanship reaches the point described, the parties are al most certain to become sectional in their opt ions—the citizens of each member of the cod- . federaey will seek to promote the interest their individual State—the less populous w necessarily become dissatisfied with their coni tion—consequently the bonds of union be weal ened,and the bark of State forced into the Scylla of dissolution on the one band, or the Charybdii of consolidation on the other. God forbid that the people of these Lnitd States should add another to the melancholy l' sl of examples, of the instability of popular govern’ ments—but if the troubled waters of section* prejudice and intense political feeling which U 1! now developing themselves, be not allayed' , the Abolitionists should go on increasing in it 1 same ratio that they have for the last five years our noble ship of State may find herselt incapi bio of weathering the storm which threatens li" and will either be submerged beneath the warn —or our internal government be radical!; changed. These are not visionary fears, forth most casual observer of passing events of the la* few years, cannot have failed to have notice* the rapid increase of the Abolition party in ISI non-slaveholding States.
