But the secret was at last discovered ; lie used, before threshing his wheat, to select the best sheaves, and striking them over the side of the empiv barrel as it lay on the floor, three or four times, before laving them down to be clean threshed, lie obtained in this way a very supe. rior seed wheat, which the whole country cov eted at a double price.

From the Washington Globe, Astonishing Fact in Relation to the Egypllnu Pyramids. The materials of which the pyramids are constructed, afford scope for long dissertation, because, independently of the science und skill requisite for their adaptation, the distances from which most of them were brought prove that each Monarch’s sway extended all over Egvpt and Lower Nubia, if not beyond; ami in relation to this subject we gather the follow ing facts from the second lecture of Mr. Glid- don’s new course ; Geologically considered, Egypt is a very pe culiar country, the qn»rries of different kinds of stone lying at great distances from each other SgrtraUttral. From the Sew England Farmer. Discovering’ Deficiencies in Soils. Mr. Editor—Our scientific friends who (to their credit be i. said,) lecture nml write for the laudable purpose of instructing the fanner in the philosophy of his art, and to show him the conditions upon which depends his best success in the pursuit of his business, frequent ly dwell upon and explain the importance of his knowing in what properties his soil is defi cient, so that he can supply them, and thus in crease his crops. Now, in reference to this desideratum, I ask—IIow can w. do it? Farmers—real working farmers—such as compose the great mass of our yeomanry — cannot he supposed to be analytical chemists : they have neither the knowledge nor the means requisite to analyze their soils, nor the pecunia ry ability to pay the professed chemist for do ing it. To ascertain, as we are told we should, whether our soils are deficient in lime, gyp sum, soda, potash, <kc., seems to me no easy matter for one who is not versed in chemistry— and I ask, Hnw can wc do it ? The importance of the thing I fully appre ciate, and would fuin accomplish it, if 1 knew any simple way of doing it; hut I cannot, for the best of reasons, set myself down to attain the knowledge requisite to enable me to ana lyze soils according to the principles of chem istry. True, we need to learn—it is much for our interest to learn—what deficiencies exist in our soils, which common manure cannot supply— but, How can we do it ? Verv respectfully, yours, PELEG PLOUGHSHARE. Smitfivillc, March 18, 1S45. It is very true, as “ Peleg” siys, that it is not in the power of farmers generally to ana lyze their soils for the important purpose of delecting and supplying deficiencies ; and per haps no tetter course could be recommended for such to pursue to attain this ond, than to make experiments on a small scale with such substances as our correspondent mentions, and if any beneficial effect results from the use of any particular substance, as gypsum, ashes, or bo.ics, then, on the same kind ol soil, an exten sive use of that substance may be made. The mixing of different kinds of.soil, in the compost heap or directly on the field desired to be improved, is one of the surest and cheap est wavs of amending a particular soil. To ascertain whether a soil is deficient in lime, Dr. G. B. Smith, of Maryland, gives the following directions: “Takes handful here Hnd there from the whole field, say twenty handsful in all; mix well together, then lake a handful from the whole mixture, put it upon a shovel, nnd hent it red hot; then take it from the fire an I let it co >1 ; when cold, pulverize it to a fme powder, and pour upon it good ci der vinegar; (diluted muriatic acid is best, but vinegar, if good, will do.) If u foams conside rably, you want no lime in the soil ; if it do not foam, then lime is wanted.” To learn wiiat deficiencies probably exist in a long cultivated soil, it is important to know the constituents of the crops which have been taken from it—then the particular matters which have been extracted, may bo returned in some form or other, as in hones, silica, ash es, gypsum. Much valuable information has been given on this subject in original and select ed articles which have appeared in our pages i the ancient Taprohane in distinctly marked localities. If you see a piece of basalt on the beuch of the Mediterra nean, you know that there is no basaltic quar ry nearer limn between the first and second cataract, and, when you find a block of gran ite at Memphis, you know that no granite ex ists but at the first cataract—nearer than the peninsula of Mount Sinai. Every civilization and e tended dominion is indicated in these facts, and when we reflect upon them, wc al most think we witness the work of transporta tion going on ; that we see the builders, and the buildings themselves in process of erection. The blocks of Arubian limestone used in the interior of the pyramids were brought from the ancient quarries of Toorah, on the opposite side of the Nile, distant about 35 or 20 miles from cadi pyramid. These very quarries are vast hulls, as it were, excavated in the living rock, wherein entire armies might encamp, are adorned with now mutilated tablets, recording the age of their respective opening by different Pharaohs, not only show the very beds whence the slupt-ndous blocks of some of the pyramids were taken, but are in themselves works as wondrous and sublime as the Memphite pyra mids ! nay, at the very foot of these quarr es lie the countless tombs and sarcophagi of num bered generations of ancient quarrymen !— These quarries are of intense at dialogical in terest, because the tablets m them record that stone was cut in them for Memphis, on such a day, such a month, such a year of the reign of such a king ; and these kings begin from the remote times before the sixteenth dynasty, and, at diffeient intervals, come down through the Pharaonic period with many of the others, till we reach the Ptolemaic epoch, and end with I.atin inscriptions similar to others in Egypt, attesting that “ these quarries were worked” in the propitious era of our lords and emperors Serverus and Antoninus, thus enabling us to descend ulmost st* p by step from the remote antiquity of 2,200 years B. C. down to 200 years after the Cluistiun era. The hand of modern barbarism, prompted by the destruc tiveness of Mabommed Alt, has, since 1S30, done more to de/uce these tablets—to blow up many of these halls in sheer wantonness, than has been effected by time in 4 000 years ! Every atom of the .hundred thousand tons of granite used in the pyramids was cut at Svene, the first cataract, distant 640 miles. The blocks, some of which are 4.9 feet lung, had to be cut out of their beds with wooden wedges and copper chisels; then polished with emery till they were as smooth as lookinj glass, and then carried by land half a mile to the river— placed on rafts and floated down 640 iNiles to Memphis—brought by canals to the foot of the Lybiaii chain—conveyed by hind over gigantic causeways from one mile to three in lengtt? fo the pyramids for which they wero iniende !, and then elevated by machinery and placed in tin ir present position, with a skill and a ma sonic prccisiun that has confounded the most scientific European eng’neer with amazement. Tnc very basalt sarcophagi that once held the mummy of the Pharaohs, in the inmost recesses of throe pyramidal mausolea, SA feet long by broad and 3 deep, were all brought irom Lower Nubia, from the basaltic quarries of the second cataraci, not nearer than 750 miles up the river! Looking into the interior of the pyramids, there is still much to stagger belief—to excite our admiration. In tho pyramid of five steps, the upper beams that support the roof of the chamber are of oak, larch, and cedar, not one of which trees grow in Egypt, and establish the fact of the timber trade with Illyria, Asiu Minor, and Mount Lebanon in ages l<>ng before Abraham ! In the fragments of a mammy the cloth is found to be saturated with “ Pisasphal- tum”—Jew s pitch or biiumen Judiacum, com pounded of vegetable pitch from the Archipela go, and of the asphnltum ol the Dead Sea in Palestine; we find gum arabic that does not grow nearer than 1,200 miles from the pyra mid, attesting commerce with Upper Nubia. The gold leaf came from the mines of Snakim on tho Red Son, or from remote Fazogln.— The liquor which cleansed out the body ol the mummy was cedria, the fluid rosin of the pinus cedrus, lliat grows not nearer than Syria.— The spices send us to the Indian oce m—the aloes to Succatra—the cinnamon to Ceylon, and then the arts and THE SPANISH INVASION. From a Sermon by Prof. Wm. Bacon Stevens, of the University of Georgia. Several times, during her colonial strte, was Georgia on the brink of ruin, and only saved by the signal interposition of God. '1 he settle ment of Oglethorpe hnd given great offence to the Spaniards in Florida ; and they, in con- . junction with troops and forces from Cuba, re- . solved on its destruction. They came with an overwhelming force—cavalry, artillery, infan try, marines and bombardiers. As the large . fleet sailed up towards the garrison o| Ogle- j thorpe ut Frederica, they hoisted a red fL.g at j the mast-head, the bloody emblem of e.xierm- J mating vengeance. The fate of Georgia and i the two Carolinas depended on the issue. ; The Spaniards are full of joy—the capture^ of Oglethorpe was certain—the fite of Frederica, Savarman, Charleston, was sealed. They dis pose their fleet in naval order—they land their forces amidst the roar of artillery—they are ea- gar for the attack—but, just as they are about to begin the work of death, the question of precedency between the Governor of Augus tine nnd the General from Havana, produces a rupture between the Commanders, and they withdraw and encamp for the night in separate bivouacs. Learning tliis fiom a prisoner, O- glethorpe, with that resolution and courage which rose as dangers thickened, resolved to attack them separately under cover ofthe dark- nes. His plan was about succeeding, and they were within a short distance ofthe Cuba furce when a Frenchman, who had come down u- mong tho volunteers, fired his gun and fled to the enemy. Thus discovered, Oglethorpe sta tioned drums in different parts of the wood, so as to represent a large army, and then beating the grenadier's match, returned to his garri son. Aware of his weakness, which he knew the Frenchman would represent to the Span iards, he wrote a letter to him in French, as if from a friend, urging him to try and make them believe that tho English were in almost in a defenceless state, that he should under take to pilot up their boats and galleys, so as to bring them under thc hidden batteries in ihe wood; but tQ say nothing to them about the several ships of war whit h he expected from Charleston. This was delivered to a Span'sh prisoner, who promised to hand it to the Frenchman. The Spaniard on hisarrivnl in camp, was taken before the General and sear died ; when the letter, which was not direct ed, was found upon him; upon the offer of pardon, he confessed that he had promised to deliver it to the Frenchman, who, therefore, was immediately taken into custody ns a dou ble spy, and placed in irons. The contents of the letter sadly puzzled the officers ; but the casual appearance of three vessels off the bar the next morning, which the Spaniards sup posed was the van of the naval reinforcement spoken of, led them to believe it all, and struck their army with such a panic that they hastily retreated to their ships, leaving quanti ties of stores and munition behind, and in a few days not an enemy’s ship remained in Georgia. The firing of that gun, the desertion of the Frenchman and the consequent derangement of their intended attack, was, in the estimation of Oglethorpe and his army, a fatal stroke to the colony—its destruction seemed now more inevitable than before. But, in the overruling providence of God, this event, so fraught with apparent evil, was turned into highest good.— But for this stratagem, Georgia, would have been conquered by the Spaniards, and annex ed to the dominions ofPhihp II. within a few years pist, and our correspondent will find some useful hints upon it in Dr. Jack son’s remarks commenced in our last number and continued in this. For more satisfactory and valuable informa tion on the subject of his inquiries than is here given, v/e refer our correspondent to Prot ssor •Johnson's instructive Lectures on Agricultural Chemistry—n work which every farmer in “Smilhvillti” and elsewhere, should own, who can lead and reason. sciences brought to bear upon the pyramids that I inns' have arrived at perfection long before j that day, are not only themes for endless re- fleciions, but oblige us to confess that in chro• ! nology we are yet children. Among his novel and strange assertions in relation to the science of the ancient Egyptians, Mr. GAddon maintained that from the very na ture of their country, and the vast fossil re mains in their quarries, &c., the Egyptian Seed Wheat. We arc told, that, in tho Island of Jersey, England, where the firmers sell their produce and live upon the refuse, it is customary for thorn to lie their wheat in small sheaves, and by jinking each twice or thrice across a bnv- rJ ivliiio lying on its si lo on the floor, a .Mi|.or- rine sumplo of wheat is obtained for maiket, after which the sheaves are thrown by, to be clean threshed iu the evening of winter by lamp light. I have just met with tho account of a firmer in Vermont, to whom his neighbors resored for tri». purpose of securing seed wheat ol superior priests must have been geologists ; and re ferred to his “ chapters,” page 49—fir the re marks of the priest of Solon, “ You mention ed one deluge only, whereas many happen ed”—and otiier evidences, that the Egyptians recognised in their mythology and chronology ofthe world vast periods of time, anterior to the creation of man. “ The upper ten thousand.”—“My dear,” said Mrs. Parvenue To her husband, on retiring to their room the other night, “How long have you been engaged in the importation of Guano?” “About ayeur, my love.” “ I wonder, my d'-ar, that you should engage openly in such a vulgar occupation, and more especially without letting me know any thin about it.” ‘•Why, my dear, how does it affect you I” “ 1 should have pursued a very different line of conduct, and not commenced pruning my ac quaintance just now. I supposed you was en gaged only in the importation of tea, coffee, and silks, by tho cargo.” “ I have been for a few years past engaged jn t lie importation of those articles, but the Gu i- .no trade is so profitable that 1 thought I would dip into it in a quiet kind of way; but I had no idea tliUt it was generally known.” “Well m? dear, I am s> rry you ever enga ged in it. I’vfl done all I o»nld to elevate the family to a goad standing in the fashionable world; I’ve sacrificed almost everything, and submitted to many inconveniences, moriifna lions and rebuffs, and bore up under all with much apparent nonchalance; 1 ve succeeded in attracting the attention of sundry fashionable old bachelors, they uppear fascinated with my assumed navicte, though their adulation is rath er nauseous; yet, as you think it helps us a- long. I’ve contrived to swallow it.” “Well, my love, what is the matter now 1 any new rebuff! I tho’t your party ol ‘a few friends’ went off very well the other night, and was quite a recherche affair.” “That’s the trouble—the confounded party is the cause of all my present uneasiness. The comparatively few persons leftou are not sat isfied that the hundreds invited, many of whom they have ascertained I had never spoken to before, should be designated as a few friends ; especially as among those left out are several who imagine that they have contributed to our present elevation nnd that their shoulders have been made use of, to place us in our now al most fashionable position. And there’s that spiteful Mrs. Ferret, who procured my invita tion to the Bachelor’s Ball a few years since, is so provoked at not being invited that she is not only circulating round that y<>ur grandfath er was a silversmith (on rather a small sen'w,) and that if I was not actually a chamber-maid, before marriage, I was humbbr companion to Mr. Mallei—that even you had not loll'd in the lap nfluxury in your early days, and that both of us tog* ther could not trace the deriva tion of our language to its orig nal source !— But all that is nothiugto that little monkey of a daughter of Iter’s telling our Maria, in school, this morning, that her fa ther was only a man ure dealer.”—N. Y. True Sun. From the SationalIntelligencer. Sir Robes t Peel and Hr. Guizot .or Mr. Guizot and Sir Robert Peel: for we do not know which of these two great men should yield the precedence to the other. Age cannot settle the question, for they are ve ry nearly of the same age; station cannot de- termineit, foreach occupies the place of Prime Minister to his native country; talent might resolve the difficulty with'the particular friends and partisans of each, but not with the public generally; nor would a reference to the claims for priority o » the part of the countries which they respectively ornament and serve, lead to a more satisfactory solution. One thing is cer tain, the peace, the prosperity, and the hap piness of the nations of Europe depend more upon the judgment and the wisdom, the tem per and policy of these two distinguished in dividuals, than upon tiny other, and upon all other moral, political, and physical agency whatever. We find the following parallel and compar ison between the Prime Ministers of France and England in a late foreign journal, and, without wishing to be understood as adopting all the opinions and conclusions which the wri ter expresses, and maintains, we think there is sufficient of point and piquancy in the observa tions to render them interesting to our readers. The writer is evidently a political opponent of Sir Robert Peel, and therefore, what he suvs must be taken “cum grano satis." After narrating the leading events in the life of Mr. Guizoiainl enumerating his various lit erary productions, be proceeds to say: There is uoiking in the poor humble scholar, the son of an advocate guillotined for his prin ciples, travelling en diligence, or by a vorturi- er from Nismes to Geneva, to resemble the silver-spoon-fi d son of a successful Bury cot ton.spinner. pursy, prudent, and prosperous, who was enabled, after tliiriv years of manu facturing prosperity, to give his hoy Robert a large fortune, and who gave him the advan tage of a private education, and a private tu tor, long before he was sent to Harrow. In entering the gymnasium at Geneve, poor Gui zot had no advantages, and labored under ev ery disadvantage of poverty and proscription. In entering Harrow, Robert Peel had every advantage that wealth could bestow, anil came with the prestige of b>ing the son of a loyalist who had subscribed .€10,000 for the carrying on of the war. In four years’ sojourn at Ge neva, Guizot become, in spite of every disad vantage, master of the Greek, Latin. English, German, and Italian languages. In four years sojourn at Harrow, Peel could construe Hor ace and Juvenal, rend 32schylus and Demos thenes, write Latin verses tolerably and a hundred to one never made a false quantity, so thoroughly was he drilled in prosodv. Ir» 1803 Guizot had sounded the depth ofancient and modem philosophy, had travelled from Plato to Kant, and found nothing barren, while forty years later, Peel with every ap pliance, had never got beyond Pale}’. ‘•In 1804, when Peel was entering Christ Church with probably <€1000 or <€1200 a year allowance, a private tutor to cram with, and horses and grems ad libitum, Guizot was running tho rounds of the law schools of Pans, poor, on foot, and perhaps penniless, Peel, at the end of his academic course, had achiev ed some of the volumes of Blackstone, whilst the poor penniless Huguenot had gone through die Code and the Digest, and read the com mentators, from Ulpian down to Gravina and Pothier. In 1809, when Peel had attained his ma jority, and was looking to be launched into pub lic life by his rich faflier, Guiz»t was writing essays to soothe ihe nvnd of n amiable and accomplished woman who became his wife.— This was at once chivalrous, natural, and ro mantic; failings which have never been at any time attributed, whether a man qr boy, to Ro bert Peel. In 1810, where Peel had. we believe, en tered Parliament, and was erving ‘jiear, hear,’ behind the Minister of the day. Guizot being exactly of the same age. had published ‘Die- lionnnlre des Sy* onvnics.’ containing a philo sophical dissertation on the particular character ofthe FieachJantrunge, and had also gi*en to the world his‘Lives of the French P ets\-— When, two years latter, Guizot was laborious ly engaged in translating from the Spanish, in studying the history of primitive Christianity and German philosophy, mid filling the supple mental chair of history at the Un varsity. Peel was toasting the ’immortal memory’ in the Castle of Dublin, swearing f> alty and fidelity to the Irish Orangemen and Protestants. Hnw well arid truly lie has kepi his faith with both parties, let the history ofthe Iasi sixteen yet rs proclaim tiumpet-tongued. In 1811 and 1812 Guizot, by tvs influence and teaching, elevated the tone of historical discussion, and gave breath and comprehension, to the disquisitions of a professor’s chair. In the same years Pesl sought, by his vote and influence, still more by his speeches, to fling us back into the dark ages of bigotry and oppression. In 1814 Guizot was called to the office, because he was a Bourgoise, a Protestant, and a Liberal; and thtfty years later he remains faithful to his earlier convictions. About the same period Peel was elected for Oxford, because he was n ultra-Protestant, and in spite of his being a writer or a speaker. If Peel had been born in the country of Guizot, and of his religion, can any man in his senses think he ever would have been a great political writer, a great his torian, a great teacher and prolessor, and am bassador of the first class, much less the most prominent and powerful Minister ol France?— This is the fair way to test the abilities of the one and of the other. Give Guizot in Eng land tin' moneyed, social, and scholastic ad vantages of Peel, and lie would have achieved one hundred fold more tiian Peel has done.— th tnd nus- There is Place Peel in would have been tenth-rate writer. ‘•These two men havp, however, some quai- iles and attributes in common. They are both men of great personal integrity, of blameless lives, and of strict morality. There is some thing austere and puritanical in the aspect of Guizot; something cold, suspeioua, trustful in the countenance of Peel, an occasional diyness, dogmaltcalness, and want of suppleness and vivacity in the French Minister; and who can say tiiut Peel is gay, debonnaire, or playful? His jokes, elaborate ly prepared, are for the most part disastrously lugubrious nnd leaden. Guizot ofien seizes on a leading idea, carefully chosen ; he rings the changes on it, artfully works it up, em broiders it elaborately, and produces it with all manner of fringe, furbelow, blonde, and gold lace. Peel adopts the same trick, and supplies by action and grimace the absence of that copiousness and fertility possesses in a greater degree by the French nan. Guizot seldom breaks out into those bursts which cap tivate and enthral in Berryer, which seize up on the auditor against his wdl, and hurry him along with the speaker, breathless, agitated, and contre cceur. In this, too, lie resembles Peel, who though lie possesses great talent, consummite tact, and a flowing diction, is ne ver eloquent, in the s nse of Sited or Macau- Icy. Guizot is rarely so eloquent as to render captive the understanding ; hut as a rhetorician and adeclaimer Re is greatly superior to Peel, who, in the lower and more despicable art of a mere tactician may lie pronounced his supe rior. There is a certain stiffness about Gui zot, and he rarely unbends ; Peel never un bends. But Guizot, on the other hand, has hundreds upon hundreds of attached personal friends, who admire him as a man and are proud of him as a man of learning and of let ters—one of live glories of France. Peel, on the contrary, out of his own family, does not appear to have a single attached personal friend. “Ill conclusion, superiority is unquestiona bly due to M. Guizot. As a scholar, a writer, a mail of general information, of liberal ond elargect views, he is greatly superior to Sir Robert Peel. Out of the tuck of official life aud rhe ordinary routine of tin English univer sity education, Sir Robert Peel is a man of extremely limited attainments. Of foreign poli tics & foreign governments lie knows- absolute ly nothing; but fie is never taken at fault in the House of Commons, for on all these subjects he hears a conveniently copious cram, and ne ver betrays ignorance. As an orator we would also accord to Guizot the preferable place. If he be occasion «Uy mure pedantic and didactic, his scholarship is more Full, ample, and satis factory. He speaks from a great repartory of facts and learning, and in this respect resem bles Macaulay. Peel, on such occasions, merely dispenses to Ins audience his recent ac quisitions within the previous three weeks, made up by him, or got up by clerks, for the marketable and pressing occasion. “Peel is at ways decorous, decent a nd respect able, but lie is also sly and demure. Guizot is decorous and respectable from principle, and though there may be some of the sourness of the Puritan in his composition, there is none of the more vicious leaven of the Maw- worm or the Turtiifle.” “ The estimated loss to the revenue by ^ abolition of the duty on cotton wool talcin as a guide the amount received last year not be less than <£680,01)0'.

TIic Protection Given by England to Her ,11:131 u(nrtures. We imtic-d bat the other day the repetition in the National Intelligencer of the impudent falsehood which has been so often tei'ented in this country as to pass for truth, »iz : That England's impost duties favored her manufac tures, and t at to this protective system her superiority in species of industry is ascribablc. In reply to this, we stated the fact that the manufacturing capitalists of England Were at this moment combined in a great league for free trade against that restrictive leg-sl >tion, which, so far from protecting British manu factures by levying duties on foreign fabrics coming in competition with them, levied tlu'ies which operated as a heavy tax on British fab rics in their own home markets, and forced the capitalists todepriss the wages of their ope ratives until they were reduc'd almost to the starving point. The duty most dis'ressing to the manufactures is that excluding foreign pro visions and giving tho monopoly of providing bread and meat for the manufacturers, which enabled the land owners to e.vtort immense tribute from the manufacturing class. Against tlie burden of the corn laws, the league of ma nufacturers, therefore, is principally directed.

In all the speeches of Peel there are no I ofi y or profound views, no attempt at generalization, no philo sophical truths are enunciated, no grand terials, we quo’.e from Sir Robert Peel’s speech at ihe opening of the present session of Parlia ment : “ The articles on which wc propose to abol ish the duties will be those gent rally which are the raw materials of our manufactures.— The list of these articles co'itains 4-30 specific items ; and, as that list will he printed.

Abolrfioit Spies in flic South. The N. Y. Herald ofthe 12th ult. hast| le following suggestions. They are worthy of at. tention, and there are more reasons than the opinion of the Herald for believing they are t 0 no small extent true. “We have some reasons for believing that the abolitionists of the Noitli, and those w|| 0 intend to become so in the next great Presiden tial contest, have been preparing some secret missions to the South, for the purpose ofcol. lecting all sorts of stories, incidents, and re ports, relative to the treatment which the slaves rec« ive from the southern planters. These se- cret missionaries or spies, under the name of piiilosop 1 ers, religionists, philanthropists, are now sent for h to the south, charged with pick, iug up all sorts of information relative to the system of slavery in those regions. It is expect ed here, and gi-nerally understood amongst the initiated, that in the next great Presidential contest, the Whig party in the free States vvi.l be completely changed, and become in fact an abolition party to all intents and purpose!, and in order to prepare the public mild for that, it is necessary to collect this species of inform ation. “In corroboration of this intimation, which has been given us, we see the commencement ofa series of letters in the Tribune, purporting to be furnished by a correspondent travelling in the south, and descriptive of the treatment given to the slaves by their masters. This will probably be followed up in other journals, and in other forms, during the next year or two. The probability is that the attempt on the part of Massachusetts to send public agents to Cnuileston and New Orleans, fur the pur pose of contesting the police laws of those cit ies in the United .States Courts, in reference to the slaves, is merely an open and undiscuis- ed movement, similar to the one we have alrea. dy described, originating in the same quarter and for the same purpose s. “We give these views to our sonthern read- ers merely lo put them on their guard. As further developemei.ts are made in the North,, we shall-add fresh information.—But at pres ent there is every reason to fl-ar that prepara- ti ms are in progress, on the cait of the fina- tics of the North, for the purpose of introdu cing the slave question into the next Presidon- tail contest, if not into the previous state elec tions, and which may take a course to give the- abolitionists the ascendency in tho General Government, nnd finally break the-Union into- fragments. In Boston, and in other places,, it is already openly announced that they wilt, not stop short of that in the accomplishment of their fana ical purposes.” We have, on more occasions than one, seen men favoring this description, among us, who. became restless a> d figetiy the moment the sub ject of slavery was i .trodaced, showing an in tense anxiety to give their views and opinions, and evincing how deeply they £-Tt interested on th«’ subject. They are generally suffered to pass without hindrance or molestation- With that frank and cordial hospitality peculiar lo the South, they are received as gentlemen, and trusted so; and no one feels disposed to curtail tern oftheir f> ir proportions and privileges an- American citizens, of enjoying and expressing, on <tll proper occasions, tne free and hones? convictions of their minds, in regard to any tiling and cv -ri tliii g proper to be spoken.— But let it once be ascert flned that Southern hospitality only invites to Northern audacity, that our kindness begets effrontery, and that Northern men come among us as agents ol Northern fanatics, for the purpose of “spying out the nakedness ol the land,” and aggravate d misrepresenting a system of internal police of which they .-ee but little and know less, because we are unsuspicious and they ca# do so with impunity, and we would not be come responsible for their safety for five min utes. The best and wisest men among us would say, take them to the nextlree ami let them swing, wilhoot judge or jury. Self-preserva tion is the first law of nature, of which the South has had much reason to be fully aware for the last few years ; and a spy for Northern abolitionists, whatever might be tus garb orpre- tensions, would find but little safet y among us after being full v known. We know that of all delusions, rel gious fanaticism is the most pov - erful, and u dor its influence men will risk life and bravedeath ; still it may he ns well to in form these deluded fanatics that they come *■ mong us with halters about their necks, art! u they prefer the use of them to our kindness and hospi'ality, on tlieii own heads light the responsibil ty.
