to give aid and comfort to the devil generally. \

. good ai.d faithful servant, if thou didst do so. j
I lit; only reason why the Saratoga convention j
.; not denounce the Democratic party as well as j
* President, was on account of a few B'tfl Deal- j
being in the convention. This was a coali-|
f ,r fusion convention in which Wrn. 0. Bryant ;
a:, i Democrats of that ilk bore a part. If such j
meetings sis that at .Saratoga effect no great harm, j
■ ■ hop- t’ncv will effect one great- good: It e trust

vh: :.il free-vjil Democrats may wallow swine
• jn th‘-ir congenial corruption, and leave the
... rati: r artv purged of the dross which now
.. rtunatelv forms one of its integral elements.
If it be true us assorted by the Massachusetts
Whies that the “settle 1 policy of the Democratic j
oartv" has ever been favorable to the institution j
<; ,-iavcry, t'ueit the party for the .South is the I
D-cnocratic party; and Union Democrats, Southern
Ki.-hts Democrats, Whigs, Union Republicans and
others at the South should join the national
Dcnijcratic party, and prepare to stem the tide
■.viiich the Wbiys North, now fully abolitionized,
:xTt f preparing to roll over the land. One thing is
certain—if the South lias any friends, North, they
are to be found in the Democratic party, l'illrnore
j j-,v in tlie dust, tiiough alive. unct Everett has
.runk and cowed before the fanatics of the Sum
ner and Parker school. f J he potent arm ol Darnel
Webster is pinioned in the gripe of one mightier
than he, and his stalwart intellect forms no longer
an aegis for the constitution and the country. The
linger of abolition has touched the Whig party at
the North, and the vims of fanaticism runs ram
pant in its veins. It sets itself up as the anti
el a very, and the Democracy as the pro-slavery,
party of the country. By virtue of the facts of
the case, the issue tendered has already been par
tially accepted, and the probability is that the issue
which will divide the Democratic and Whig parties
of the country will be the issue of slavery. The
prospect now is that Seward and Greeley will so
mould the elements of the late Saratoga convention
as to have them incorporated into the Whig party-
Their views and those of the Massachusetts Whigs
we have already shown to be practically the same.
And then note the similarity, if not identity be
tween the two following resolutions, the' first by
the Saratoga convention, and the second by the
Whig convention in Boston : b
“Resolved, That the deliberate repudiation by
the slave power, on the first opportunity, ol the
solemn compact forced upon our fathers by its rep
resentatives, whereby the territories now known as
Nebraska and Kansas were consecrated forever to.
freedom, lias absolved us from all compact# or agree
ments outside the federal constitution, with refer
ence to slavery, and we now take our stand distinctly
on the principle that all territory of Uo United
States must henceforth be free territory, and a I
Btatea hereafter must cume in as free States.
“Resolved, That the recent act of the National
legislature, in wantonly and faithlessly annulling a
solemn covenant which had stood tor more than
thirty years, and which the South had received the
full benefit of leaves no restriction upon the ac
tion of the free States beyond the exact provisions
of the constitution itself.”
Can any body read the above two resolutions
and doubt the identity, of feeling and sentiment of
tho two conventions which passed them ? Can
any ono fail to perceive that the same master
mind which prompted one resolution also prompted
tip*other? Does not every body see that there
\ was an understanding between the wire-worker.-; of
j the two conventions to plant them upon the mine
| platform? To our mind it is evident that; the great
! anti-slavery party is to bo the Whig party of the
j North, anti the great pro-slavery party is to be the
! Democratic party of the Union,
i Men talk pf a great national Union party. Is
J there any prospect for forming such an organiza
tion outside ol tho Democratic party? We can
see none. If such a party, is formed, where will
you expect to get its members at tho North ? They
must of necessity come from the Democratic party
Is that part v going to disband to form anew or
ganization? Look at the course of its great gener
als and see if there appears to be any chance for
it. liven admitting that Dickinson is ready for it—
which wo have no rcasou to believe —is basso!
Michigan in for it? Is Douglas of Illinois? Is
Bright of Indiana? Is Buchanan of Pennsylvania?
liie idea of a great national Union party, besides
the Democratic party, we believe is a vain one.
We see no chance for it. Then let all patriotic
men rallv to the national Democratic party, allay
ed against which are the Whig and abolition hordes j
0 f the North. Choose ye this day whom ye will
serve.

THE BABY'S LULLABY.
Go to sleep my little child :
Night-time cometh soft and mild;
Flowers are folded up to rest,
Birds asleep in downy nest;
Only breezes wakeful keep.
To sing my little girl to sleep.
In my baby’s thoughtful eyes,
Like a dream tlie slumber lies:
Lot the white lids drooping low
Softly, sleepily and slow,
Shut the tender eyes within
Asa rose is folded in.
I
Jesus, once an infant small,
Now the mighty Lord of all
Spread the shadow of tir? wing
O'er this helpless little thing!
Pure as child of earth can be,
Keep her always nearest theo.
Godey for September
Has arrived. ’ "lie's Coming” is a much more beau
tiful plate than we are in the habit of see ng in the
magazines. We copy the following from “Godey’s
Arm-chair."
Infancy. —As the in fa:*, begins, to discriminate
between the objects around, it soon discovers one
countenance that ever smiles upon it with peculiar
benignity. When it wakes from its sleep, there is
one watchful form ever bent over its cradle. If
started by some unhappy dream, a guardian angel
seems ever ready to soothe its tears. If cold that
ministering spirit brings it warmth; if hungry she
feeds it; if happy she caresses. In joy or sorrow,
in weal or woe, she is the first object of its
thoughts. Her presence is heaven; the mother is
the Deity of infancy.
Peterson for September
Is before us. Price $2 per annum, and it is as
good as if the price were $3. From its pages we
take the following extract from Wordsworth :
WORSHIP.
Why should we crave a hallowed spot ?
An alter is in each man's cot;
A church in every grove that spreads
A living roof above our heads.
Harper’s Magazine-
One of our exchanges points out some taints of
abolition in the above magazine. We intended to
insert the article in our columns but unfortunately
mislaid it. Our people need not be surprised at
such taints, however; for Raymond, the editor of
that abolition sheet, the New York Times, and who
figured largely in the Saratoga convention, and who
showed the cloven foot in the convention which
nominated Scott for the presidency, is also editor of
Harper’s Magazine. We advise Southern people
not t:> stop patronizing Northern journals on ac
count of their abolition, however. Oh! no* we
would advise them not to do any such thing.
FOR THE INDEPENDENT PRESS.
A Riddle.
In flesh and blood I was conceived,
As other creatures bo,
Yet neither flesh nor blood nor bon-,
At all remain in me.
My nature was to float and fly,
And yet I lived, and dried, and died;
But when 1 was of perfect size
They took me from my mother's side,
And did cut off my head.
They gave to me a diet drink,
Which was both black and strong—
-1 took the cup, and drank it up,
Which did to me no wrong.
My work was sent both far and near,
And bred disputes'’twixt king and king,
And made true lovers glad.
All this I’ve done and ten times more;
And more, I will do still;
Yet J’vodone nothing of myself,
But by my Maker’s will.
The above is communicated for the Press, not as
original, but as a curiosity. An answer is reques
ted from your readers. A. R.

Danger of Painted jPailH.
“J would desire to direct the atten
tention of the readers of the Scientific
American to the danger of using pails
which are painted inside, for contain
ing water, for domestic purposes. —
The oxyd bfi lead with which they
are painted is a dangerous poison, and
X know it to be productive of evil in
many cases. .Last week, having taken
a drink of water from a painted pail,
which had been in m o tor some months,
I was convinced' from the taste of the
watm-, that it had, taken up a portion
-
of tlie paint, and having analysed the
Wyiter I Ibuntjl it to contain a very min*
utc quantity of it, sufficient,'"however,
n a large quantity of the water were
taken, to produce these tearful diseases
peculiar to lead poisoning-.”

W e advise all persons to avoid its
lnw painted wooden pails. A coat of
varnish, on the outside, is all the cm
belisliinent we ever desire to see on a
water pail.* —Scientific America)).

Following the Lord. —An itin
erant preacher recently travelled among
the Northwestern counties in this State.
He was mounted on an animal whost#
appearance betokened very bad keep
ing, the mere frame work of what had
once been a horse. Riding up to me
country inn B ; e mb Hired of
the ]anil lord the distance tor-the .next
town. The host coming out, was so
forcibly'struck with the a])pcanmee'of
the animal upon which the querist sat
that lie walked around him twice be
foregiving the desired information.-—-
He then inquired :
“Who might you be, if it’s a fair
question ?”
“I am a follower of the .Lord,” he
answered.
“Follerin’ the Lord, eh ?” demanded
tlie host.
“Well, I’ll tell you what it is, old
feller,” (eyeing 1 lie horse again) “them’s
one thing sartin, if you stop often on
the road, you’ll never ketch him with
that boss I”
Wild FiSitn of Africa.
There is another inhabitant of.the
woods by the Gaboon River, more to
he (eared than the African boa; it is the
wild man of the woods—not the our
ang outang, though an immense ape —
always acting on the offensive, and
ready to attack man. The bones of his
extremities arc longer than those of an
ordinary sized, full grown man. 1
have examined them here, and whilst
contemplating the skull, the jaws and
their terrible apparatus, ready experi
enced a sort of shuddering. Tho ca
nine teeth are upwards of two inches
long, and of proportionatc bulk. There
is a ridge running from the top of the
nose backwards over the crown of the
head ; to this is affixed a muscle, by.
which the living animal draws back
wards and forwards a most frightful
crest of stiff hairs : when enraged, or
proposing to inflict injury, he erects
them and draws the crest forwards over
his large eyes, and utters most hideous
yells at the same time.
Nothing seems to intimidate him.
Sometimes he advances with boughs
of trees broken off for the purpose of
concealing his approach and attack,
and suddenly grasps the legs of a hu
man being, brings him instantly to the
ground, breaks his bones by blows of
his mighty arms and hands, and tears
the flesh by his monstrous teeth. The
native lmnts-man who goes in search
or meets with, whilst pursuing less for
midible amimals, has learned that the
safest way to engage is to act quite on
the defensive; to let the monster draw
near when lie will immediately seize
the end of the muzzle of the gun, (rea
dy cocked and presented,) between his
teeth. Instantly it must be dischaged;
if the man either delays till the ape
has compressed the barrel so as to close
it, or fails to give a motel wound, his
doom is sealed.
,Tw- York Correspondence.
Y'F 1 :, August 10. — Ton took
occasion a few days since to repeat the
censure 1 cast upon Mrs. Stephens’
novel of “Fashion and Famine,” when
you published her letter to Col. Fel
ler. Os the literary and artistic mer
its of the book every one must judge
for himself,, while the moral it incul
cates will be as various as the rays of
a prism, according to the class of per
sons who read it. My principle objection
to the work is and has been, the unli
censed manner in which it has been
“puffed.” Had it come betore the pub
lic like any other work, solely and in
trinsically upon its own merits, and
succeeded, no one would have uttered
a word of unfriendly comment. Such
was not the case, and before the print
ed pages had fallen from the press,
“Fashion and Famine” had been her
alded as a great American work.
It seems that “Fashion and Famine”
was what I had already snpposed, a col
lection of Magazine articles done up
into book form. It was originally pub
lished in the Ladies' National Magazine
in London, with the sentimental and
lacadaisical title of “Julia Warren, or
Palaces and Prisons.” It was subse
quently republished in the London
Farnilg Herald , and the authoress hav
ing simply extended its proportions,
“Palaces and Prisons”—like the tad
pole to a frog—comes out as “Fashion
and Famine.” No reference was made
to this circumstance in the preface to
“Fashion and Famine,” the authoress,
unfairly, as 1 think, intending to have
her readers believe that they were pe
rusing an entirely now work, and one
descriptive of life manners and customs
as they now exist. You may, by the
action of a galvanic battery, give ”tem
porary vitality to a dead animal, but
it will scarcely survive. Such will be
the fate of the attempt to revive the al
most, forgotten “Julia Warren, or Pal
aces and Prisons,” into a popular and
successful work of fiction—“ Fashion
and Famine.”
The Guano Trade ,
We learn from the Washington Sent
inel that towards the close of 'the late
session of Congress, the special com
mittee of the House of Representatives,
to which was referred the memorial
of two thousand citizens of Delaware,
praying the government of the United
states to effect some arrangements with
Peru, by which, for a just and proper
equivalent, the Peruvian government
will either cede to the United states one
of her guano or, by removing
the existing restrictions upon Amcri
ican vessels engaged in tho guano trade,
place the trade in that article upon a
more just and liberal basis, made air
able report on the subject, which is in
teresting to every tiller oft hesoil.
Three sucessive administrations have
made.efforts to induce Peru to enter
into more liberal commercial treaties
with the government of the United
States; but such efforts, strong as they
were, have been unsuccessful.—With
a knowledge of these facts, and the rea
sons of them, the committee feel
authorized to ft-commend that the
President of the United States again in
vite the Peruvian. government to treat,
with the specitiie. right to our mer
chants to purchase guano, like other
products of Peru, upon her own soil, and
upon the terms of Ihe most favored na
tion. They also reported a bill impo
sing impost duties on asliding scale, up-,
on the Chineha island guano..
