The Riiui-sellei’s Dream.
Well, wife, this is too horrid: I cannot
continue this business any longer.”
.. Why, dear, what's the matter now ?
O, such a dream, such a rattling of
dead men's bones, and such an army of starv
ed mortals, so many murderers, such cries,
and shrieks, and yells, and such horrid
gnashing of teeth, and glaring of eyes, and
such a blazing fire, and such devils !—oh !
1 cannot endure it. My hair stands on end,
aud I am so filled with horror I can scarcely
speak ! Oh, if ever I sell rum again!”
My dear, you arc frightened.”
<t Yes, indeed, I am; another such a night
will I not pass for worlds.”
tt My dear, perhaps—■”
tt Oh, don't to me. I am determined not
to have anything more to do with rum, any
how. Don't you think Tom Wilson came to
me with his throat cut from ear to ear, and
such a horrible gasli, and it was so hard for
him to speak, and so much blood ; and says
he, t See here, Joe, the result of your rum
selling !’ My blood chilled at the sight, and
just then the house seemed to turn bottom
up, the earth opened, and a little imp took
me by the hand, saying, . Follow me.’ As I
went, grim devils held out to me cups of
liquid fire, saying, < Drink this.’ I dared
not refuse. Every, draught set me in a rage.
Serpents hissed on each side, and from above
reached down their heads and whispered,
i Rumsellcr /’ On and on, the imp led me,

paused and said, < Are you dry ?’ i Yes,’ I
replied. Then he struck a trap door with
his foot, and down, down we went, a ad le
gions of fiery serpents followed us, whisper
ing, . Drunkard ! Drunkard !’ At length
we stopped again, and the imp asked me
as before, < Are you dry ?’ < Yes,’ I replied,

May it please your Honors, there is noth

as the representative of that idea. Whatev
er may be liis individual sentiments and
purposes, that will be the direction of the
canvass. Already we see that the editor of
the New lork Tribune heralds to his read
ers the nomination of General Pierce, by the
Democratic convention, as follows:
•<Tlie Union does not contain a bitterer or
a more proscriptive pro-slavery hunker than
Franklin Pierce. For years he has been
loremost in stifling every aspiration for
freedom among the . Democracy’ of New
Hampshire. He insisted that John P. Hale
should be ostracised aud crushed because he
refused to vote for the annexation of Texas
without a stipulation that some part of its
immense unsettled teritory should be secured
for free soil. The Post lias more recently
seen this same Frank Pierce deprive John
Atwood of'his nomination for Governor, and
drive him out of the party for nothing else
than expressing a repugnance to the fugitive
slave law. In all New England, slavery
and slave catching have had no more un
scrupulous,thick-and-thin servitor than this
same Frank Pierce.”
Honor to General Pierce, if the Tribune
truly states his position, as I believe it
docs. Now, with what face can a Southern
man go before a Southern audience to oppose
the election of General Pierce to the Presi
dency of the United States, if he shall be
opposed by any man who does not stand as
unequivocally upon the same ground de
nounced by Mr. Grecly in the Trihune^smd
described in the article from which I have
read. Why, sir, you may talk aliout

[After referring to the fact that Seward
introduced a bill to abolish slavery in the
District of Columbia, immediately after the
passage of the Compromise measures—quot
ing liis letter to the Massachusetts Abolition
Convention in favor of the repeal of the Fu
gitive Slave Act, and stating the fact that
when a fugitive slave was rescued by a mob
at Syracuse, and a motley , crowd of men,
women and children, white and black, were
arrested for trampling the law under foot,
this same Seward repaired to the court house
and volunteered to become their bail, and
not only so, but << invited them to liis house
and treated them to its elegant hospitalities”
—after referring to these and other equally
notorious facts in Seward's infamous career,
Mr. Gentry proceeded :]
“ W hat does all this mean ? I3 it not to
encourage rebellion, insurrection, and re
sistance to l:nv ? Is it not to deny that the
Constitution can impose any obligation to
execute the fugitive slave law ? Is it not to
deny the constitutional validity of that law ?
Is it not a hypocritical claim that there is a
higher law which absolves him from that
oath ol allegiance which lie lias taken to liis
country, and which binds him to maintain
the Constitution of liis country? Yet this
is the doctrine he teaches, and this man,
with that powerful political organization
which he controls, is to be our leader—is
he? Under his auspices Gen. Scott became
a candidate for the Presidency; and if Gen.
Scott is nominated at Baltimore, lie will owe
his nomination to WilliamH. Seward; and,
therefore, General Scott's nomination can
not, under any circumstances, nationalize

at you, and spurn you You will fail as
badly as Kossuth failed iu his Southern
campaign. The people of the South cannot
be thus humbugged.
