A HOME PICTURE.
BY FRANCIS D. GAGE
T i! Fisher had tiirshed his hard day's work,
Vnd he s i at his cottage door;
His good wife, Kate, sat hy his sale,
And the moon-light danced on the floor; —
The ineon-light danced on the cottage lloor,
Her beams were clear and bright
As when he ami Kate, twelve years before,
Talk’d love in her mellow light.
Ik-ti fist; t bad it ever a pine f clay,
lud never a dram drunk lie:
So iie loved at home with bis wife to star,
\ n ,; they chatted right merrily;
i • ‘it merrily chatted t]w on, the w hile
‘Berko-slept on her breast ;
Wlii'e a thubbv ngte w i h :os smile,
On his faiiar's knee fimnd rest.
gen told her how fast the potatoes grew,
An •; the corn in the haver field;
Anti the wheat on the hill was grown to seed,
And promised a glorious yield
A glorious vield in the summer time,
Ami his orchard rvas doing fair;
His sheep and his stock w re m their prime,
Hi- farm all in good repair.
Ki'e lid that her garden looked beautiful,
Her fowls and her calves were f.i;
Ti: ,t ?h*‘ butter bat Tommy lhar morning had churned
That Jennv tor Fa anew shir! had made,
Aud nvas done too by the rule;
Th a Neddv the gardeii could nicely spade; -
And Ann was ahead at school
Ben slowly raised his toil-worn hand
Th >’ his 1. cks of mavis*, brown—
“l tell you, Kate rviii: i think, ‘ said he,
“ We're the happiest folks in tow :i.”
“1 know,” said Kate “that we all work hard—
Work and health go together I've found;
For there's Mrs UeJI does iK>t work at all
And she’s sick the whole year round ”
“They’re worth their thousands, so people say,
Hu! 1 ne'er have seen them happy yet ;
*Twould rot Ik- ine that would take their gold,
And live in a constant fret;
Mv humble home lias a light within,
Mrs. Hell's gold could not buy.
Six healthy cbddren, a merry heart,
And a husband's love-lit eye.”
I Lnvted a tear was in Hen’s eye—
-1 tie moon shone brighter and clearer,
I could not tell why the mail should cry,
ltut la* hitched up to Kate still nearer;
He leaned L:s bead <>n her shoulder there,
And he took her hat.fi in his
I pass- ,tho* I looked a* the moon just then.)
That he left on her lips a kiss.

Those of our readers who take lflackwood s (Edin
burg Magazine, must have been struck with the very
fierce article its January number contained agatnst
-.Slav rv and the Slave Power in the United States.”—
\tvlt -? intelligent re ler.sat ’h* South must also
n- l ..ill tile recklessness of assertion in
dulged in bv the author. It was our intention to ex
p-'-e s me of his errors and misrepresentations, but tin
ding that we have been anticipated to some extent, in
a spirited letter from the pen of a Washington corres
p. ndent of the “ Chronical A Sentinel,” an able paper,
put l -hed in Augusta, Ga., we shall for the present con
i' it ourselves bv inserting that letter entire in our pa
per of to-lav. We may, h reafter, resstme the subject,
ard show . ff other foul slanders and calumnies of that
Kevi-w. upon the institutions of the Southern section of
the United States. And we fake this occasion to make
an appeal to die sensible and reflecting men of that sec
ton of the country, cot to let such vituperative assaults
upon their social and tie ral condition g<> unanswered.
We are pleased to see the -pint displayed by this cor
ns; ondent of the “ Chronicle k Sentinel.” VV e hail it
as a giwnl omen. The press should begin to speak. —
Leng.-r silence will be construed into an admission of
the tmdi of those unfounded accusations. The ** Me
tro M . ta,” ha seizin! not only the editor of Blackwood,
but nearly all die British Reviews now ultoanii with
aftiiar- up.,;, such frothy fictions as “ Uncle Tom’s
t'sbin,” and other like misrepresentations of Southern
society These Reviews are read all over the civilized
w. and their statements nurefuted are taken for
fa - The ignorance of the writers may be quite aj>-
jarent to the people of the Son'll, but it is not so with
iue people of the North and of Engiand, Germany and
France, w here that general public opinion is formed
which exerts so tnnrii power and influence in moulding
an. directing the policy of Nations. The [teople of the
Sou'h have nothing to tear from the decision of that
public opitii-.;i up ,n their institutions, when it is prop
el ly and fullv enlightened by all the facts pertaining to
the organization of their svsleni of society. In refer
ence, for instance, to the physical comforts of the Afri
can race at the South, we think no fact is better estab
lished, not bv prejudiced witnesses and anonymous
scribblers, hut bv official records, than that their general
condition is better there than if is m any other part of
the world. Most writers on the subject concede that
thebe- criterion, and only correct principle for deter
taining the relative Oouiforteof any people including
f< 01, r.tm *iA and houses, with attention to health, Ac.,
i* tli ■r. tin of their increase of populoti vn. By th s ac
k’Mwiei'ged standard, then, how does the condition of
’ s |... ~j t% t >,,> African in the Southern States compare
with their condition elsewhere: Fifty yesir* ago, they
numbered something more than eight hundred thou
sand. Now they number over three millions. As to
the r t ‘■ of their relative increase—where -hail we get
;i comparison ? SL 11 we go to Africa—to British West
ladies where emancipation has been so foolishly tried ?
or shall we go to the Free States of the North ♦ The j
last, we fake it for granted, will be admitted to be the
in unfavorable to our position. We therefore resort
to that, is we wish to make no unfair comparisons to
promote our particular views.
Well, then, what do the census returns of ISAO show
upon this joint ? Whv this sig.iiiieant fact—that the
fee colored population of the United States, with all the
irr rein nts of emancipation aud fugitives increased from

■ h avo States:
i f “ V’e arc accustomed to think onlv of the slaves and
I the free, i- th,* main divisions of society in the South
ern States. But the free form two classes—the rich and
the poor- which art* as distinct from each other as the
latter are from the skives. Manual labor is beneath the
dignity of the white man, so that if he is too poor to
buv land and slaves, only the lowest and meatiest pnr
su ts of 1.,e r.n ojm-ii to him ; and In* gradually sinks in
i to a misery and degradation, and his children into a
brutal ienorauce which are only less profound than
| among the mass of the slaves ”
And further on he says:—“So that of this poor and
j degraded class there are not less than e.’fofoW, or they
ae to the rich and educated as ptol !” Bv which he
! comes to the sage conclusion, that out of the <5,222,40*.*
i free white citizens of the Slave States, there arc tir<- ,;*//-
l'< - l nit If. I ■>,; ; sl.rttf- ,<V tJrO’i *ll,-1 M v<f fin ml,- ‘

! gra lation almost as low as that oft he slaves themselves,
| which i*i his estimation, is horribly low indeed! Could
j a more infamous libel lx* penned against the character
jof our people ? And what authoritr does he cite to
i sustain this accusation ? Nothing but the fanev sketch
; es of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, and other dealers in
i romance, of the same stripe.—What would be thought
jof an American author, who should cull particular
j scenes from Oliver Twist, or Nicholas Nickelbv, and
j gravely proclaim them as distinguishing marks of Brit
ish customs, habits and character ? The novelist who
writes to entertain and amuse, with the creations of his
j imagine! . ii, may lx* tolerated according to his success, J
jasan v other artist; hut a man professing to deal in
j i.*i r•T ft .v, who puts forth such -in n,,n of the brain
as actual r d.t ts, should receive that consideration
which is generally awarded to those who have lost all
character for tru*h and veracity.
But read on. This state of things, savs the Review
er —“ I’x; la ins also, what a* first sight is very inextili
cable on this side of the Atlantic, that the whole free
population of the slave States is actually decreasing in
sVad of increasing, as we are in the habit of believing
to be the case all over the Union, Thus, in the two
censuses of 1-40 and lS‘n>, the fetal free pojmlation in
the free and slave States respective was as follows:
„ I**’- 1850.
Free States 9; *>54,865 13 :,33 -
Slave States 7,200,719 0 303*75*
“ So that, while in the last ten years, the population o.
th f i*“ Si.iti-s has increased hy neorlv four millions,
t ’ * of tite slave States, though Texas hit- been added to
th**:n in ihe interval, lias diminished hv nine hundred
thoasand. And if the condition of the mass of the
’ ■ ■ iie- in these State- be really such as we have above
rcjircseated it, there is a vast useless redundancy of
white men.’’
A •! t.. \ ho say so ! But the condition of things in
this particular, is “/• Vy” -* r p .If,rent from what he
ha ttfui it. And he is quite as far from the
m. rk in ■ ■ the fact as he was in stating it.—
“ 1 :e he get his information, that the free pupu
-I'* he slave States in I*4o was 7,200,710, and in
lsbo, <5,303,7.-.'? showing a J-cre < of nine hu/.drtd

S owe, or some other similar authority.

of each of the slave States in IS4<\ and also in 1850*
ro;n which it appears that so far from decreasing nine
hundred thousand it has ijtrrta<oi one million five
hundred and eighty-nine thousand seven hundred and
ix y-nine, —that is, at a ratio above thirty-four per cent,

me it of foreign immigration, which goes nustl v to the
fret Stales, is greater at the South than at the North :

What confidence can be placed in a journalist who
put - forth such gro-- perversions and misrepresentations
in the face of official information ? 1 give you but a
sample—the whole article is made up of a similar ti
rade. One other point only I will aihideto in this brief
notice. By way of establishing one of his dogmas,
that slavery is “ti bcrrttr tv projrevt” he institutes a
comparison between the annual products of New York
and Virginia in 1-4**, —where he got his data in this
case I know not, perhaps from the same source where
lie got the fact that there were seven millions of white
population in the Slave States in 134->, which have de
ceased nine hundred thousand since. But as he chooses
to indulge in such comparisons, I send you a true tint,
taken from the census of 1850. I take the States of
Ohio and Georgia, —this may be more interesting to our
readers than if 1 followed him in looking into the “
fits” of the case between New York and Virginia in
foit*. la- - any one look at these tab!<*s and say wheth
er the iustitu ions of Georgia are less favorable to agri
cultural industry, development and iimtireg ■*, than those
of Ohio, which is certainly one of the most prosperous
of the Jrte S .tUs, so far as agriculture is concerned
-the has tieen stllevl ilic young giaul of lie W, ,>♦. An~
cordiug to the census returns in 1850, Ohio hud, of im
proved lands, 9,-51,493 acres, —Georgia had only
<5,378,479 acres; the cash value of the Georgia lands so
improved and under culture was 195,7-53,445, while the
cash value of the Ohio lands was returned at $358,758,6* *3
—Ohio had nearly one-third more land in a state of im
provement than Georgia had, and returned at more than
three times the cash value of the Georgia lands. The
who e population of Ohio was 1,908,4.80; the whole poj)-
ulatioti of Georgia, white and black, was 905,999. The
population of Ohio, therefore, was more than double
ihut of Georgia. Here we see her free labor more than
double in number, working one-third more land, worth,
bv valuation, more than three times that of Georgia. —
From these (foments it might not be surprising to see
her agricultural products greatly exceeding those of
Georgia, without resorting to the “euise of slavery”
to account for it. But how stand the facts? Ohio pro
duced the follow ing articles:

Bariev, To*jacco and other articles w hich are produced
in that S'u'.e. Away then w ith this prating cry about
slavery'* |>aralysing the energy of people, and oppo
sing the development of the resources of a country _
But 1 find myself saying a great deal more than 1 in
tended. One other fact or two, however, I must men
tion in connection with this comparison from the cen
sus, as the tables are before ine. It is the habit ot
those who indulge in their invectives against slavery to
represent the slaves of the South as not only badly
| c othed but most miserably fed. Now, it appeals from
I the census that the value of animals slaughtered (for
fd in Georgia was $6,3-:.',762, and in Ohio onlv 87,
59,2 hi. The people of Georgia, negroes and all, ‘must
] ! e much greater mat ca ers than the people of Ohio.
I For the population of Ohio, as I have stated, is more
than double that fit Georgia. Ohio is, moreover, an
I exporter of meat, (beef, pork and bacon,) while Georgiu
it is w ell known, is a large purchaser of it. Her people
nut only cat the six miliums slaughtered at home, hut
buy largely from other States. Ohio on the contrary,
m-mages so as to subsist her jwople, double in number,
ir-on seven millions, and leave a large surples for salt*.
Whether the stomachs of their laboring poor are stored
in the process, 1 know not. Again as to the relative
wealth < f these two States. In the table giving the as
- -sed value of real and personal estate in all the States,
I tind the aggregate amount in Georgia put down at
*55.5,1 1n,22-5, and in Ohio it is joit down at $433,872,-
••. !2. But we have seen that the real estate of Ohio
ulone is, elsewhere estimated or valued at *3-58,753,?<)5.
This would leave the personal estate onlv $7.5,114,1*29.
And iu estimating relative wealth, or values’ the due
i otMirtiuice to be given to the estimated value of the
r al e-tate there, can only be properly considered in
connection with ihe fact that its ttniuuilyMl in agri
cultural products., which is the source of its value! is
It -than that of the same item in the aggregate values
of tile personal and real estate of Georgia, which is put
('.own at only $9.5,7.>3,44-. And if the aggregate values
as given in Georgia, were divided out, p r c.tpihi,
amongst her entire population of 905,999, including
whites and blacks, there would be to each one, $369,
while a like division in Ohio between her population of
1,98.*,4 *B, would give to each onlv $219! And yet
there are those in our own country, who following the
fond of British Reviewers, are ignorant enough to”sujv
pose that there is more comparative comfort, prosperity
and wealth in the Northern Slates of our Union, than
in the Southern, This is a great and radical error. No
people on earth have greater or more abundant elements
of ] xiwer and greatness than the people of the Southern
’ States. And no people ever developed those elements
more rapidly Ilian the Southern people are now doing,
notwithstanding that u [nst',tvfon” which is a pretended
“ //< s‘r to so many hypocritical canters on humanity,
philanthrope, and what not. It is against flic rising
pr.ign ss and growing prosj iet i v of the Southern States
that ths Reviewers ire is directed. This is plain
!’ evident in more than one place in his article against
“Slavery and the Slave Power.” It is a power that he
begins to feel and tremble at—as one w ould suspect
from his language:
‘The cotton shrub, which seventy • vears ago was
grown only in gardens as a curiosity, yields now to the
L nited States an amount of exportable produce which
in the year ending with June, 1850, amounted to seven
ty-two millions of dollars, of which from thirty to forty
millions were clear profit to the country. With its in
creased growth has. sprung up that mercantile navv,
whi (, h now waves its stripes and stars over every sea
and that foreign influence, which has placed the inter
nal peace, we may say the subsistence of millions, in
e\ cm manufacturing country in Europe, within the pow
er of an oligarchy of planters.”
This docs not look as if the writer really believed that
tue Southern Suites had lost nearly a seventh of tjieir
population within the last ten years, and that five mil
lions out of the remaining six were sunk in a depth of
ignorance and degradation, little above that of slaves.
Nothing would gratify him and his allied confederates
01(1 England and New England, (Sumner, Horace
Mann, Garrison, k C 0.,) more than to know that such
was indeed the fact. But murder will out, and hero we
see the truth escaping from unwilling lips. It is that.
Mercaiitile Navy of the United States, growing rich
hv our Foreign Commerce, supported mainly bvSonth
ci n Exports, which is now claiming the mastery of the
-eas, that is stirring up his blood. It is conscious
ness that the day is not far distant, when not only the
subsistence ot millions in the manufacturing towns of
Europe,” but the peace ol the world, will depend upon
what lie is pleased to call “the poirt r of an oliaarcht•/ < f
planters. —That is the whole secret of* it!
And who is this lecturer upon morals and civil libcr
t.\” 1 lie quill driver of Blackwood! The last vanguard
ot Toryism iu England, The man who has opposed
every reform in his own country, for a quarter of a cen
turv. Opposed every liberal principle-—every exten
-ion of franchise—every effort to remove heavy burthens
from the oppressed poor—every effort to equalize re
presentation, and who exerted liis utmost powers with
11 zeal bordering on desperation, to persuade the here
ditary aristocracy of England not to allow thousands
and hundreds of thousands of their famishing fellow
subjects to even Uiy bread, without paying a heavy tax
to maintain that Aristocracy iu their opulence! This is
the man who has spent his lift* in dofendino* the Jaco
bite dogmas of more than a century ago, and who now
comes to teach the disciples of Sumter and Marion,
Madison and Washington, the true principles of civil
liberty, and social equality’. And this is the man who
has the arrogance to address an argument to rational
men, based upon such a tissue of fiction and fustian,
twattle and falsehood. It he he discontented and even
choleric because English Statesmen take a different view
of the interests of their country from what lie does, let
him fume and sweat, as much as he pleases, over his
discomfiture. He doubtless has n.u.-i. p* •* l<l ” “*<>-
nr\;aol that he would be the better for jßfettillff rid of!
Let him do with it us he pleases, so lonjj as he keeps
upon his own premises. But for him, in his insane ra-
to obtrude himself into his neighbors’ doors to
throw off his redundant bile and silty stuff, is quite as
indecent as it is intolerable.

INSTRUCTIONS,
Embraeitsg conditions to be incorporated in the contracts
to the ej-tent the Department may-Deni pr-.per.
1. Seven minutes ure allowed to each intermediate of
fice when not otherwise specified, tor assorting site
mails ; but on railroad and steamboat routes there is to
be no more delay than is sufficient for an exchange ot
the mail bags.
2 On routes where the mode of conveyance ndinit.*
ofit, the special agents of the Department, also post of
fice blanks, mail hags, locks and keys, are to he convey
ed without extra charge.
3. No pay w ill be made for trips not performed : and
for each of such omissions not satisfactorily explained,
three times the pav of the trip may be deducted FOl
arrivals so far behind time as to break connexion with
depending mails, and not sufficiently excused, one-fourth
of the compensation for the trip is subject to forfeiture.
Deduction may also be ordered for a grade of perform
ance inferior to that specified in the contract. For re
peated delinquencies of the kind herein sjiecified, en
larged penalties proportioned to tlie nature thereof and
the importance of the mail, may la* made.
4. For leaving behind, or throw-ing off the mails, 01
any portion of them, for the admission of passengers, or
for bring concerned in setting up or running an express
conveying commercial intelligence ahead ot the mail, a
quarter's pay may be deducted.
ft. Fines will be imposed, unless the delinquency be
promptly and satisfactorily explained by certificates of
postmasters, or the affidavits of other creditable persons,
tor failing to arrive in contract time; for neglecting to
take the mail from, or deliver it into, a post office; for
suffering it (owing either to the unsuitableness of the
place or manner of carrying it) to be injured, destroy
ed, robbed, or lost; and for refusing, alter demand, to
convey the mail as frequently as the contractor runs,
or is concerned in running, a coach, cur, or steamboat
on a route.
6. The Postmaster General may annul the contract
for repeated failures to run agreeably to contract; for
disobeying the post office laws, or the instructions or
the Department; for refusing to discharge a carrier l
when required by the Ikqwwtment to do so; for assign
ing the contract w ithout the assent of the Postmaster
General; for running an express as aforesaid; or for
transporting persons or packages conveying mailable
matter out of the mail.
7. The Postmaster General may order an increase of
service 011 a route by allowing therefore a pro rata in
crease on the contract pay. He may also order an in
crease of speed, he allowing, w ithin the restrictions of
the law, a pro rata increase of pay for the additional
stock or carriers, if any. The contractor mav, howev
er, in the case oi'increase of speed, relinquish the con
tract by giving prompt notice to the Department that he
prefers doing so to carrying the order into effect. The
Postmaster General may also curtail or discontinue the
! service, at pro rata decrease of pay, if he allow one
j month's extra compensation on the amount dispensed
! with, whenever, in his opinion, the public interests do
not require the same, or in case he desires to supersede
it by a different grade of transportation.
8. Pavments will be made for the service by collec
tions of, or drafts on Postmasters, or otherwise, after
the expiration of each quarter —say in February, May,
1 August and November.
9. The distances are given according to the best in
| formation; hut no increased pav wil. be allowed, should
j they he greater than advertised, if the points to be sup
| plied be currently stated. j
VOL. XXX.—NO. 47.
10. The Postmaster General is prohibited by law from
knowingly making a contract for the transportation of
the mails, with any person who shrill have entered into,
or proposed to enter into, any combination to prevent
the making of any bid for a mail contract by any other
person or persons, or who shall have made any agree
ment, or .shall have given or performed, or promised to
give or perform, any consideration whatever, or to do,
or not to do, any thing whatever, in order to induce any
other person or jiersous not to bid for a mail contract.
Particular attention is called to the 2Sth section of the
act of 18 hi, prohibiting combinations to prevent bidding.
11. A bid received after time, viz : the 4th of April,
1353, at 9 am, or without the guaranty required by
law, or that combines several routes in one sum of com
pensation, cannot he considered in competition with a
regular proposal reasonable in amount.
12. A bidder may offer, where the transportation
called for by the advertisement is difficult or impracti
cable at certain seasons, to substitute an inferior mode
of conveyance, or to intermit service a specified number
of days, weeks or months. lie may propose to omit an
inaccessible otlicc, or one not on the stage or railroad, or
at a steamboat landing, us the case may be; or he may
offer to substitute an inferior mode of supply in such
cases. He may projiosc different times of arrival and
departure, provided no more running time is asked, and
no mail connexion prejudiced. He may ask additional
naming time for the trip, during a specified number of
days, in seasons of very bad roads; hut beyond these
changes, a proposal for service differing from that called
for by the advertisement, will not be considered in com
pel it ion with a regular hid reasonable in amount AVhere
a hid contains any such alterations, their disadvantages
will be estimated in comparing it with other proposals.
13. There should he hut one route bid for in a propo
sal.
14. The route, the service, the yearly pay, ihe name
and residence of the bidder, and those of each member
of a firm, where a company offers, should he distinctly
stated; also, the mode of conveyance, if a higher mode
than horseback he intended.
15 The bid should be sent under seal, addressed to
the Second Assistant Postmaster General, superscribed
“ Mail Pro;KMals in the State of .’’ It should be
guarantied, and the sufficiency of the guarantors certi
iK'd, (see forms,) and should be dispatched in time to
ht 1 received by or before 9 A. ML, or the 4th of April,
1853.
16 The contracts are to he executed and returned to
the Department by or before the Ist of July, 1353.
17. Under the act of March 3d, 184.4, the routes are to
be let to the lowest bidder tendering sufficient guaran
ties, without other reference to the mode of transporta
tion than may be necessary for the due celerity, certain
ty, and security of such transportation. When the low
est hid proposes a mode of conveyance, inadequate to
the due celerity, certainty and security of the mails, it
will not be accepted.
18. When ihe hid does not specify a mode of convey
ance, also when it proposes to carry according to the ad
vertisement, hut without such specification, it will be
considered as a proposal for horseback service.
19. A modification of a hid, in any of its essential
terms, is tantamount to anew hid, and cannot he re
ceived so as to interfere with regular competition, after
the last hour set for receiving bids.
20 Postmasters are to be careful not to certify the
sufficiency of guarantors or sureties without knowing
that they are jiersous of sufficient responsibility ; and
all bidders, guarantors and sureties are distinctly noti
fied that on a failure to enter into or perform the con
tracts for the service proposed for in the accepted bids,
their legal liabilities will be enforced against them.
21. Contractors are required to take the mails from,
and deliver them into, the offices at. the ends of routes
and all intermediate offices ; and ou steamboat and rail
road lines into intermediate offices not more than eighty
rods from the landing or station.
22. Present contractors and persons known at the De
partment, must, equally with others, procure gurantors
and certificates of their sufficiency substantially in the
forms above prescribed. The certificates of sufficiency
must be signed by a Postmaster, or a Judge, or Clerk
of a Court of Record.
