Jackson Bradley, confined in the jail of Ker shaw District, S. C., and sentenced to be hung on the 14th of March, effected his escape on Monday afternoon. The Sheriff, E. Barnes, Esq., offers a reward of three hundred dollars fur his appre hension. [communicated, j Mr. Editor: Anti-slavery fanaticism is striving, ' with sleepless vigilance and untiring energy, to control the action of our National Government. It is now able, for the first time since this Republic i sprung into existence, to command a majority in the popular branch of Congress. It it tollovvs up its first victory, by other acqui sitions, gets possession of the Senate and the Ex ecutive Department, and writes its policy upon the statute book, the time will have arrived when the South must choose between a dissolution of the j Union and submission to dishonor. Georgia has announced, beforehand, what course she will adopt upon the happening of that event, ; and it is beyond a doubt that her southern sisters will follow in her footsteps. If, then, we would avert the catastrophe of disunion, we must hurl freesoilism from “ its pride of place,” and restore within the walls of the National Capitol, the ascen | dency of sound principles. 1 That this can only be done by the restoration to power of the Democratic party, seems to me to be clear, from a consideration of the causes which j produced the present state of things. The las: Congress was Democratic, decidedly Democratic in both its branches, and by the votes of a majority of that party, from all sections of the Union, againsi the votes of a majority of all other parties from the : free States, it passed the Kansas bill, and that bill, with the sanction of a Northern Democratic Presi dent, became the law of the land. This law, i grounded upon that great principle of popular j sovereignty, which is the key-stone in the arch of ' American constitutional liberty, was assailed, with i unexampled venom, by all the enemies of the De mocratic party in the non-slaveholding States. The 1 war-whoop of opposition to this “ aggression of the slave pov. ■!•" rung from one extremity of that por tion of the Union to the other; and answering to the call. Abolitionism, Freesoilism and Know Xothingism mustered their forces to beat that par ty down. All trie vile arts and appliances by which ; low-flung demagogues seek to win those' honors which are the proper rewards of talents and patri otism, were pressed into the service of this unscru pulous combination. It played upon the credulity of the ignorant, pandered to the prejudices of the bigoted, and by the most reckless disregard oi truth, and the unstinted use of calumny and vitu- f peration, engendered an agitation which raged like | a hurricane throughout that section of tlie Union, Abolition orators upon the stump, and preachers in the pulpit, exhausted the vocabulary of billings gate, in fervid denunciation of the “ Nebraska in iquity,” and in iuvoeating the wrath of Heaven and the maledictions of man, upon those “ north ern dough-faces” who had “contaminated a soil dedicated to freedom, by a compromise as sacred as the Constitution itself" with the “foul leprosy” of slavery, and streams of newpaper literature flowed copiously and constantly from the press, charging tlie south with the design of using the General Government as an engine lor the propaga tion of pro-slavery sentiments, and stigmatizing those Northern Democrats who supported the Kan sas biii, as bribed hirelings, aiding them in this effort, and meet objects of the unrelenting scorn oi a betrayed and insulted constituency. And why this “heathen rage,” this merciless rancor, this cry of “havoc, and let slip the dogam war,” this “ holy alliance ” of all the isms and factions of the day. against that great party which for three-fourths of the time this Government has had an existence, has stood at the helm of State, and guided the nation in its onward career of gran deur and of glory : Why, it had recognized the great principle of hu man freedom, which underlies the structure ot American institutions ; it had recognized the fact that those hardy pioneers who, actuated bv a lufti spirit of adventure, and a manly desire to bettei their condition, plunge into our primeval forests, and convert them, as by magic, from the lairs 01 wild beasts, into the comfortable abodes of civilized . life, are men and not babies, full groum men, ade- ■ quote to all the duties and the responsibilities oi , hie, nut needing the meddlesome interference ol , iCne-v S'..thins hiizQt.s or Abolition bedlamites, to 1 mould lor them their domesuc institutions; it re- ) cognized the fact that tlie further agitation of the , slavery question within the halls of Congress, is t incompatible with the existence of the Union, and r adopted a principle which if practically adminis tered “in the fullness of its spirit,” will unite this . demon with eternal death ; it recognized the fact . that our territorial domain, won by the common valor, or purchased with the common treasure of | the realm, is the common property of all, and would j 5 suffer no “walling in” policy to debar the south j , from this general patrimony. j , This is a “round, unvarnished” statement of the ! ( whole matter, the “very head and front of its of- ! 1 fending, hath this extent, no more.” For this it j e was assailed, vilified, “ hawked at,” and tempura- j { rilv submerged beneath the tempestuous waves of j , a misguided political agitation. ! f Those Northern Democrats, who bore the brunt ; of this fierce conflict, had no personal interest in j the instimti 01 of slavery, they fought not for them- 1 ( selves, but the Constitution and the South, and ! , those of them who fell “ dug their political graves” , hr standing manfully to the discharge of duty, and i j “lea ing consequences to take care of themselves.'' , The Democratic party is the same to-day that it . was then—no narrow provincialism confines its j ( sympathies to one portion of the realm; no secta- j , rian bigotry or prejudice of race, finds a home with- ; , in its borders. Its principles are as broad as the ; , Union, and as generous and as tolerant as the | , Constitution, and with an invincible determination | “to conquer or to die." it “hangs its banner from | the outer wall " and “flaunts defiance ” to all who j may oppose it. Upon the speedy restoration to power of this great j partv, depends the weal or woe of this vast empire throughout all coming time.

New Bedford Mercury, 15 th. An Experiment.—We have heard a good story concerning a certain town liquor agency not a hun- j fired miles from Hartford, which will do to print. | A free and easy looking customer applied to the storekeeper for a pint of rum “for mechanical purposes.” It was furnished him, and he disap peared, hut not long afterwards again presented himself at the counter for another pint. “ What arc you going to do with this?” asked the bar-tender. “Oh,” said the customer, “we are using it for mechanical purposes just up here in the next street. ” The liquor was measured out, paid for, and dis appeared. In the course of an hour, the same cus tomer on ? more appeared for a third pint. This j the agent thought best to refuse him until he was j better satisfied of the use to which it was to be ap propriated. “What are you doing with so much rum?” “Oli, it's all right; a party of us are trying an \ experiment, and are obliged to use this in carrying it out successfully." The agent handed out the liquor, and asked as his customer received it, “What is your experi- j ment?" “Why, the fact is,” said Mr. Coon, jamming the ; bottle safely into his pocket, “a couple of us are trying to see whether we can get drunk on your rum. We have finished a quart of it so far with out much success, and either we or the rum will have to give it up on this bottle.” Congressional. Washington, Feb. IS.—House.—Mr. Hickman, from the Committee on Elections, offered a resolu tion empowering said committee to send for per sons and papers in the case of the Kansas contested election. Mr. Phelps said he thought au attempt to exer cise such power would be a usurpation, as Mr. Ree der does not claim that he was elected by virtue of a law passed bv the Kansas Legislature. He de fended his constituents from the charge of being •■border ruffians," which was being repeated here and elsewhere; and bv one Senator TV ilson, who 1 comes from a State where men warred on defence ! less women and burnt the Ursuiine Convent. He condemned earnestly the anti-slavery men in Kan sas, and claimed that the Missourians desire not the shedding of blood, but to sustain the laws. Mr. Washburn, of Maine, regretted that Mr. Phelps had indulged in such remarks, which were i exceedingly exciting, not to say inflammatory, to a ■ large majority of the people of this country, who believe in their hearts that there was no Legisla ; tore in Kansas, no law, of nothing having the vigor and effect of law, under which an election e uld be held, and by which Mr. Whitfield clairn t cd his seat as a delegate from Kansas. This mat ter should be investigated, and how could it be f done unless power to send for persons and papers r be granted ? :1 Boston, Feb. 18.—10 o’clock. —We have had a e . heavy gale for the past forty-nine hours. The rail -1 roads are all blocked up with snow , i Miss Murray in America. . ; Mr. Bryant, of the New York Post, has read j | Miss Murray's Book on America, and made copious I extracts for his paper. He calls it, in the main, a 1 good natured book ; except where the lady’s aris | tocratic prejudices stand in her way, she has taken a kindly view of what she saw on this side of the - i Atlantic. Her first impressions of the people ! j were formed at Newport. Writing from that citv ! she says: 1 ; “ There is certainly great beauty and refinement • j of feature among the mass of the people, but is ac - ' companicd by a fragility of look which raises pain ful feelings. ’ As far as 1 can judge at present, this is owing partly to hereditary causes, partly to ac tual habits, the excitement and anxieties of busi : tiess life in a new country probably entail constitu ’ tional delicacy upon the children of parents so ea gerly occupied, and the sedentary city education and pursuits of the young of the fast and present generation, unfavorable to out-of-door interests and , amusements, do not harden and strengthen the nerves and muscles.” W r ting from Boston, about the same time, she • again alludes to the sickly looks of the liag • gat'd friends she has made in New England, and suggests that a cure may be found in the restora tion of the law of primogeniture. “ l should particularly dread any epidemic full ing upon a people, which, as a general rule, looked so ever-worked, and fragile, and thin as these . northern Americans. Dr. Howe says it is climate; as yet 1 am incredulous upon this point. My friend, Mr. L , confessed he was almost in his ; grave, when eight years ago, he bought his pretty place. Now, with the reviving influence of his farm and garden (although he does not entirely give up his legal duties.) he looks as stepng and healthy as any sexagenarian upon our side of the Atlantic. I should like to transplant all the sick dyspeptic men and women of New York and Boston into gardens and fields, before 1 trill admit that this pleasant climate is to blame. On a journey made about this time to Mount Washington, the following comparison between New and Old England is drawn : “The difference between us appears to be that our higher classes have more principle, elegance and refinement; the women more energy and ac tivity, and the men more athletic amusements; while our middle and lower classes are less highly educated, perhaps rather more narrow minded, and physically work harder, although in some res pects I think the Americans themselves are lower, particularly those occupied in manufactures and commercial affairs. The race and appearance of horses is an example which seems throughout any they bear. There are none so perfect as our most perfect; but the animals generally go better and are better fed than second and third rate horses in England.” At Niagara, Miss Murray, after havingmet with nothing but civilitv and kindness among the peo ple of ihc United States, begins to experience treatment of another sort. She enters with a young lady a room 111 which set a circle of stran gers from various places, not one of whom rises to otter her a chair—which “could not have occurred in the old country.” At the same place, while en gaged in sketching, she feels a hand familiarly laid on her shoulder, and is addressed in a strange voice, and, turning round, finds that the liberty was taken by a perfect stranger, “a young lady ap -1 parentlv just twenty,” just arrived, who goes on to remark upon her sketch with tlie most perfect coolness. At another time the wish is expressed to her “that the old country might get thoroughly whipped during the present war.” Thereupon Miss Murray, sets it down in her tablets, not with out some provocation, we admit, “that the Arneri •ans mistake rudeness for republicanism and inci vility for independence.” At Albany she learns to like the American clergy. “ tine circumstance is to be observed of lh< American Episcopalian clergymen—and, as far a -1 have been able to remark, the same thing may ho said of the Presbyterian—that they all read well, without the nasal tone or the peculiar pro nunciation of the north-eastern States. It is a pitv that civilians, especially diplomatic men, do not imitate their clergy in th's matter. I think the latter, as a body, superior to ours. Among those whose churches I have attended, two minis ters, educated and ordained on our side of tlie .V- Inntic, both good men, were pompous and tedious in the reading-desk and pulpit. And we must con fess that not many in England either read orpreaeh j in an attractive manner.” With Governor Seymour’s family she visits New 1 York, and is domesticated with them in the St. j Nicholas Hotel, the only fault she finds with which i is, that its furniture is rather in the extreme of i magnificence. On the fashionable society of New j York she makes these reflections: “ People here are not at all less exclusive than in Loudon—only the differences in rank and wealth are evinced by more minute and elaborate attention tojdress, and to trifling conventionalities, 1 than with us. i have been surprised to hear some men of business, hut of wealth, assert that eulii- : vat ion of the line arts is a proof of national effem- 1 iimcv. American ladies bestow those hours of ■ leisure which English ladies of the same class git to drawing, to tuc stuuy 01 nature auu 10 men tal cultivation, almost wholly on personal adorn ment.” In December, Miss Murray proceeds southward, j At Baltimore she finds the relation of mistress and i servant to possess “a more agreeable aspect than j at the North, where it is commonly characterized i by complaints of annoyance on the one side, and j saucy indifference on the other.’’ Here, also, she meets some southern ladies, “whose voices and ; , manner of speaking are more refined and graceful” j , than those of the other States she had visited. At Washington, at Willard's Hotel, she finds in th ■ evening, dancing going on very merrily in the 1 1- j dies’room, “the ladies all in derni-toilette but | she remarks that she did not “ see so generally the absurd flaunting style of dress so remarkable at New York.” The Smithsonian Institute, and the dispute about 1 the application of the Smithsonian legacy, suggest i to our tourist the idea that we want “ healthier ideas on the subject of education,” and “an im proved and more practical female training.” She i remarks: “ In this country, 1 hear that ‘though it has no queen, (ill the women are queen*.' I should rather call them playthings dolls; things treated as if they were unfit or unwilling to help themselves or j others; and while we in England have nearly cast ! aside arts of the toilet worthy only of dolls, I see j here false brows, false bloom, false hair, false eve- j rvthing!—not always, but too frequently. Dress j in America, as an almost general rule, is full of ex- j travagance and artificiality; and while women i show a want of reliance upon their native powers of pleasing, their influence in society will he more | nominal iltan real.” At Washington she meets with an interesting i family, native of New Orleans, who speak English I with an accent; but Miss Murray prefers “our lan guage a little broken, to the broad and often nasal pronunciation of New England and New York. The Southern people have pleasing voices, and are much less provincial in their speech, than those of the northern States.” Here, too, she finds a gen j tleman, who has been among the,Mormons, and j who tells her that the different wives of the polyg amist patriarchs in that country live happily to gether. She is very severe upon Attorney General Cush ing : “ 1 am sorry to find a considerable party in the 1 United States advocate openly the principle of ‘do ing evil that good may come,’ as regards their own country; and Mr. Cushing, the Attorney General of the State, informed me, without circumlocution, : speaking of the European war, that the Turks be- i ing effete, and a sea-board being necessary for the j Russians, it was perfectly right aud proper that the latter should devour the former. If it be pos i sible for Republicans to he in the pay of despo- j tistn, I should Hnagine this gentleman must be j one of the favored emissaries of the Emperor Nich- j olas.” From Washington the author proceeds south- j ward, finding the manners of the whites soften as 1 ’ s j ie goes, and sees new reason to believe in the ne- | cessity and advantages of slavery. Such n being as Uncle Tom, described in Mrs. j Stowe's book, she is convinced never had an exis- j j tenee. The blacks ave all Topsv’s, according to j ! our author, with the exception that they are not, j like Mrs. Stowe’s Topsv, reclaimable and improve- ; able under treatment which regards them as rea- Iso liable beings. We quote part of what she Says > : on these subjects : “At one of the railroad stations £ watched a j young and intelligent-looking black man, consid erably beyond boyhood, perseveringly keeping up a kill'd of'Highland trot over a number of small . pitch barrels with all the zest of a white child from four to six years of age. I began to doubt whether [ they ever grow mentally after twenty. '1 bey are precocious children, being so imitative ; they soon ripen, come to a stand-still, and advance no far ther. In this respect Uncle Tom is a myth, but f Topsy a reality. 1 mean to go and see a sale of . slaves ; my wish is to judge the subject fairly 111 r all its hearings, and this I mar be trusted to do :■ even by Abolitionists ; for early prejudices and my 1 national and acquired feelings are certainly op - ; posed to slavery, but, if countenances are ‘history as well as prophecy,’ the national expression of . i faces in the North, as contrasted with those of the 1 South, tell a strange, and to me an unexpected story, as regards the greatest happiness principle of the greatest number I e ! “Os course, it must be borne in mind that no 1 ; rules are without exception ; but oh ! the haggard, 5 j anxious, melancholy, relentless, sicklv, hopeless, - faces I have seen in the northern States —lll the e rail-cars, on the steamboats, iu the saloons, and a particularly in the ladies' parlor. There is beauty -of feature and complexion, with hardly any nidi - viduality of character. Nothing like simplicity, e even among children after ten years of age—hor s house, forced, impetuous beings, the almighty dal lor s’ the incentive and only guide to activity and appreciation. Women care that their husbands a should gain gold, that they may spend it in dress I- and ostentation; and the men like that their wires ' «ii*uld appear #* queens, whether they rule well, ;or ill, «r at all; yet it is certain that I have made J ! the acquaintance, and that I value the friendship, 8 of superior women in the North, and if I should a [ he thought to have expressed myself with too o ! much severity, I appeal to their candor and judg a rnent; and being American cousins, they have the e i Anglo-Saxon love of truth, and will not spurn her B I even in an unveiled form, or receive berungraeious , Ily even when thus presented. I have reason to : speak gratefully, and warmly do I feel, and anx t j iouslv do I venture tiiese observations, which may . seem' even harsh and ungrateful. 1 do not vet _ | know much of the southern ladies; but from Wash j ! ington to this place I have been struck by a gen . eral improvement of countenance and manner in . : the white race, and this in spite of the horrors . | which accompany the misuse of tobacco. If the . ; gentlemen of this part of the country would only t j acquire habits of self-control and decency in this L ; matter, they would indeed become the Preu.c I ; Che raiders of the United States, as their hills and , ; valleys may prove the store-houses and gardens of I the Union.’’ At Charleston she sees still further reason to be . pleased with social life at the South : “My pleasant Washington friend called and took me to a little dancing party, at the house of one of his married daughters, where I saw young ladies more natural, and more gracefully and sim ply attired, than in the northern States; both the ’ tone of voice and the choice of words and pronun ciation are much more like old England as one I proceeds further South ; the habits simpler and ! more unostentatious, and the dress of every dav ; wear is suitable and gentlewomanlike, instead of j being, as in the North, unbecoming, si iff j and ex travagant ; the young women plastering their ! hair, and wearing silks fit for their grandmothers, ! and the middle aged spending hours in repairing i the ravages of time, by studious artificial eontn i vances, which, after all, make themselves evident | to the most superficial observers.” This is followed by an argument that slavery is the best condition of the negro race. The entire South presents a happy image of patriarchal life, benevolent masters and attached servants. Miss -Murray declares that “she had rather be a slave” ! there thau “ a grumbling • help’in the northern States.” While m Georgia, Miss Murray visits the Stone Mountain, which she describes as a granite preci pice of a height gigantic beyond any other of which she has heard; more loftv and aspirin o' than even the Martenswald, in the.Tyrol. Returning through Indiana, she' becomes the guest of Governor Wright. The Governor asks her to go to market with him, and carries a j basket himself, which gives rise to these reflec tions : “ l have heard much of Democracy and equality since 1 came to the United States, and I have seen more evidences of aristocracy and despotism than it before has been my fortune to meet with. The ‘Knew Nothings,’ and the Abolitiouists, and the ‘Mormonit.es’ are, in my opinion, consequent upon mammonite, extravagant pretensions and habits which are really fashionable among pseudo-repub licans.” j General QVboerttsements.
