W. F. DURISOE, Propricer.E G ,, PI 1,8A THE poem below contains -some of the most simple and touching poetical fancies we remem ber ever to have read. If,as t astion, it is so sweetly pathetic, how peiwi ta-ilttle gem it must be in the original German.fItfdisposes us to discredit much that we hear and read of the hardness pad harshness of the German charac ter. Iteannot be a rough nature, at least, that can give birth to productions as gentle and lamb like 'as this. We copy from the "Poets and Poetry of Europe." A LEGENDARY BALLAD. Among green, pleasant meadows, - All in a grove so wild, Was set a marble image Of the Virgin and her child. There, oft, on summer evenings, A lovely boy would rove, To play beside the imago That sanctified the grove. Oft sat his mother by him, Among the shadows aim, And told how the Tord Jesus Was once a child like him. "And now from highest heaven le doth look down each day, And sees whate'r thou doest, And hears what thou dost say." Thus spake the tender mother: And on an evening.bright. When the red, round sun descended, 'Mid clouds of crimson light. Again the boy was playing, And earnest said he, "O'beautiful Lord Jesus, Come down and play With me! "I'll find thee flowers the fairest, And weave for thee a crown; I will get thee ripe, red strawberries, If thou wilt but comedown. "Oh holy, holy Mother, Put him down from off thy knee! For in these silent meadows There are none to play with me." Thus spake the boy so lovely: The while his mother heard, And'on his prayer she pondered, But spoke to himno word. Th~~J~nsuiu~he rsIMn&I " And for the fruits and flowers Which thou hast brought to me, Rich blessings shall be given A thousand fold to thee. 4For in the fields of heaven Thou shalt roam with me at will, And of bright fruits celestial, Thou shalt have, dear child, thy fill." And thus it was accomplished, In a short month and a day, That lovely boy, so gentle, Upon his deathbed lay. And thus he spoke in dying: "0 mother dear, I see The beautiful child Jesus A coming down to me I " And in his hand he beareth Bright flowers as white as snow, And red and juicy strawberries, Dear mother, let me go !" He died, and that fond mother Her tears could not restrain; But she knew he was with Jesus, And she did not weep again. I~5TEGRITY OF CHAR KTER.--Who ever possessed it that did not derive untold advantage from it i It is better than the gold of Ophir; it is of more value than diamonds and all precious stones. And yet every man may possess it. The poorest may have it and no power can wrest it from them. To young men, we say with earnestness and emphasis, look at integrity of charneter with the blessings it confers, and imbibe such principles and pursue such a course, that its benefits may be yours. It is a prize so rich, that it repays every sacrifled and every toil necessary to secure it. Suppose a mer cantile community could be found where every individual was known and acknow. ledged to possess strict and uncompro mising integrity, the representations of each one were in strict accordance with truth; his word as good as his bond; Such a community would have a monopo ly of the trade, so far as they had the means of supplying the demand. The trick of trade, whatever may be their apparent advantages, impair confidence and in the end injiire those who practise them far more than they benefit them. It is a short sighted, as well as a guilty policy, to swerve, under any circumrtan ces, from those great principles which are of universal and everlasting obligation. Let a man maintain his integrity at all times, and he will be satisfied there is a blessing in it, and a blessing flowing from it, and a blessing all around it. Philadelphia Bulletin.

THE following well-told story is taken from the Southern Literary Gazette, and is one of a series now heing published in that paper. We commend the style of this writer as being well adapted for slight and easy sketches. One great merit of it is, that it is free from the affected flip. pancies with which GRACE GREENwooD, and others like her, interpolate their pro ductions, much to their injury. We con gratulate our friend of the Gazeute upon upon having procured the services and as sistance of a person of such correct taste. There was considerable interest ex pressed in the manner of the group when Venora Walton prepared to tell her histo ry. She had but lately removed to her present home, but " rumor with a thou. sand tongues" had heralded her approach. There was something singular connected with her past life, but the precise nature of the singularity no one could tell. She lived in regal style, and yet, considerable of her income went into the coffers of the poor. She was a tall, dark-haired woman, of about forty years of age, with a keen black eye, and thin, determined looking lips. Her manner was stately, and every gesture seemed a command. She was a person to be feared, and not loved. In her dress, she affected the other sex whom she loudly protested she despised; not only, she would say, for their utter sel fishness, but for the mercenary views that characterize the whole race of them. She wore a tight fitting, dark merino dress, adorned with large glittering buttons, a linen standing collar fastened with a gold stud, and lined cuffs. She prided herself on having overcome the feminine weak. ness of wearing thin shoes, and she walk ed about manfully in her doubled souled leather bootees. Her hair was cut short, and on her finger she wore a large old fashioned ring. There was something unlovely and un feminine in her %ry appearance; and the group wondered what could possiblyhave been her love history. She did not,.how ever k t p g a susene for 4%'fild~rs, I am almost sorry that I gave the promise I did, for it is really a waste of one's time to talk about the men, you know how I despise them." "Oh! do not retract," said Rose Mar tin eagerly, "you can amuse us at their expense you know, and you will, doubt less, take pleasure in laughing at them." "Laughing at them? my dear," said Miss Verona, " many's the laugh I have had at one of their sex-Philip Anson," and the spinster laughed again heartily, as she took a retrospective glance. "Do tell us about him," said Rose with unbecoming eagerness, which caused Miss Verona to turn sharply upon her and say " I think, Miss Rose, that you have not only woman's caprice, but also woman's curiosity." Rose was silent under the rebuke, and Miss Verona commenced her history. " I was brought up," she said, by my grand parents, my father and mother hav ing died in my infancy. My grand-father was one of the richest men of his day, he had marrried my grand-mother too for her wealth, and he always excused him self by remarking, that every man does the same when he can get a chance. Verona, he would say to me, 'keep a sharp look out my child, for when you grow up some lazy fellow will kidnap you for your money, all my possessions will be yours, and your old grand-father will not be here to save von from the shar pers.' Then would I lay my head npon his knee, and weep bitterly at the idea of being kidnapped for my money when T grew up. With feelings of dlistrust and suspicion, T thus reached seventeen, and made my debut in society, as my grand father's heiress. T need scarcely tell you that I was the belle of the season, and saw- heart after heart laid at my feet, but I spurnled them in di'.nantly, for I knew that they had been 'bought with a price.' Many was the ruin that my fortune was to build up men who had 'fallen from their high estates,' and who fondly deem ed, that upon my golden ladder, they would again mount higrh. Ruined game sters, houseless and homeless youths, wh'lo wvould rather spend my wealth than work for their own, and shall I tell iti two clergymen were in my train; yes, the hand aspired to by the gamester, was eagerly sought by him, whose lips T heard each successive sabbath, preach total re nunciation of all this world's goods. Oh! no, I said with feelings embittered against the wvhole race of men, I could never for give myself were I to marry you. The clergymen looked enquiringly at me, 'ITt is easier,' said I, ' for a cable to enter the eye of a needle, than a rich man to enter heaven,' and thus I dismissed my two clerical admirers. Thus far I had felt no inclination to marry, but at twventy-two. I met with Philip Anson, and I felt it difiscult to ap ply the lessons of hard-hearted wisdom T had learned, to him. He was dimfdent and retiring in society, and evening after evening I met him in the giddy round of pleasure, before lhe ventured to seek an intradnetion. For a lam time, evende that, there scarcely passed between us any other civility than a formal. I watch ed him curiously, wondering whether his indifference would continue long, and I must confess, tha so accustomed was I to attention, and believing in the potency of wealth, I was confident that he would soon be among. my followers. But [ was mistaken, he hada game to play, and pre cipitancy was no part of it. One evening I met him at a party. They were dancing when I entered, and he alone of the group was a looker on. "You are late," he said approaching me, "1 have been looking for you among the dancers." "Indeed !" I said doubtingly, "you rather appeared when I entered, to be admiring the transcendent beauty of Mrs. Belgrave." " Not admiring," he replied, " but pity ing the deserted wire." " What fate could she expect I" I ipked, "when she was married for her "ioney, every woman who possesses wealth, must expect to fall a victim to nan's cupidity." He turned, and gaze ng at my excited countenance, said in a luiet tone "I think I have heard that you are an eiress, do you suppose that for the world rou possess no other charm I" " No," I answered, " for the male por. ion no other. On one subject they are ,erfectly united, and in a body worship wammonl? " You believe then, that' man will do inything for money I" he said, and that wery man has his pricin yet," he con inued, "you are too young to entertain meh views, youth does not often see the hat clings to his fellow pilgrims, taking lust every thing upon trust, he is willing :o believe their garments as white as they ippear. I think very differently from you," he added "1 believe that men sel. loin, if ever, marry for money." I looked up at him in amazerent, that ie was sincere in the sentiment he had attered, 1 did not believe for one moment, snd unliesitatingly said. so. He looked -ather hurt, butlid not attempt to con Iue the conversation, but when we part d for the evening, he said : "Iwish that I could convince you that Vsesd eart whicb think tht6h least uttractive part of an heiress is her wealth." Gradually our acquaintance deepened nto intimacy, and on every occasion, did Philip Anson express his unqualified con empt for mercenary marriages. Fool hat I was to believe him, and oh! still Ireater fool to love him as I did. I loved iim," said Miss Verona, " but never mind ibout that, thank heaven! the weakness passed away long ago." " That night," she continued in a trem ulous tone, " when I heard from his own lips, that he had only wooed me from my wealth, that night every particle of love died upon my heart, oh! yes," she con tinued excitedly, "it died, but my poor beart died with it;" and the tears that gathered in Miss Verona Walton's eyes, told how deeply that, now cold heart, had felt the cruel blow. " I had been engaged to Philip Anson," she continued, " two months, believing that I was wooed, for the first time, for myself alone, I listened to the protesta lions of love, breathed by those false lips, with almost rapturous satisfaction. If all men are untrue, I said, he alone is im maculate truth, he alone of his race capa ble of loving; and she, wvhose proud, scep tical heart doubted a whole world, placed unhounded confidence in one'frail, treach erous man.--One evening, tired of the round of company collected in the house, I withdrew to the balcony. Philip An son had not yet arrived, and 'I seated my self by a window, knowing that as soon as he came, he would seek me. Present. ly the following conversation wvas wafted to my ears." "You are a lucky fellow, Philip, the prize is worth gaining." " Well, I don't know," yawned out a voice, which I recognized as Philip An son's, " this marrying for money is a great bore." " Come," said the other voice, "if it is such a bore, transfer your bargain to me, I don't mind being bored wvith a princely fortune, it is an infliction I could bear with a great deal of equanimity." " But the incumbrance, my dear fel low," replied Philip Anson. "Well," w-as the reply, "it is a man's own fault if a rich wife is an incum brance, it is easy enough to dispense with her company when her pumse is once se cured, hut I actually heard that you were a little in love with the lady herself," con tinued the speaker. " What !" said Philip Anson with in dignat ion, "in love with beauty a la grenadicr ? it is a positive insult to suD pose such a thing. Do you remember Musette Wayne, wvith her dove-like eyes, sunny curls, and so enchant'ngly feminine in all she said and did r' "Perfectly," was the reply, "and I also remember when she nearly drove you mad, by refusing to marry you." " Very well," was the answer, " and do you remember what I then ewvore I" "Yes," was the reply, "adieu love's bright dream, you said, gold henceforth, be thou my idol, and hear me vow to wed for wenlth alona." " That vow," -a'Id Philip Anson, "I now perform, andb-aving shattered in the dust, Love's alia upon which was in scribed Musette ayne, I here erect one to Wealth, and oujt I write Verona Wal ton." "Never," I myself passionately, while the blood led at my sick heart, "wretch that thodrt, wretched, wretch ed that I am." Noiselessly I e from my seat and entered the room I' music was playing, the company dang, oh! how desolate I felt as I m With the crowd, and how I cursed my lth as I gazed around at the luxury. Philip Anson ached, I took his extended arm ..once more wended my way to the ony ; for hours we paced its rilekt ngths, my heart beat wildly, painfully, steadily, thank God! he might deadert t'could not crush it. We talked of 1o oye in all its beautiful brightness, we s too of its shadows, but we soon dis "that, for oh! were we not too happ ur perfect loves, to feel sympathy wi ch darkness? He swore for the tw time that he had never loved befo alone had taught him love's sweet-1 n. " Certainly," with confiding ten derness, "I kn t you love me, I know that your eart spurns the pal try gold I posse '1 thus the night passed, and we s 1ked. At last we parted, "Veron a said entreatingly, "have you not a ntly tested the truth of my love, vb0 you fulfil Tour promise I" " In three wee I answered, " for such love as you serves a speedy re ward, and believe meet with it." He pressed my hand fully, and thus we parted. Time flew rap, , I made prepara tions on a splendi e for my nuptials, my wedding o -tf regal, bridesmaids and iroomsmen chosen, the guests were invited, t r summoned, and my trunks pie y to accompany The night. ring in satin and diamonds, I pro red the crowded room, follow ttendauts. Philip Aaso' m eWm Ceel took his .bre-the minister. The marriage service proceed ed, and I heard Philip Anson vow to "love, comfort, and honour" nie, vain mockery ! how I shrunk from the false hood Then arrived the moment for which I had been nerving myself, and the minis ter said, " Wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband 1" I suffered him to proceed no further. " No;" I answered, in a voice that rev erberated through the apartment, " by all that is false in man, and true in woman, I say no. Let him who swore upon Love's broken altar to wed for wealth, perform his vow, but Verona Walton, like Mesette Wayne, spurns the craven heart of Philip Anson. Here," I said, handing him a package of bank bills, " I wasted some of your precious time when you might not only have caught but kept an heiress, here is your recompense, mon ey you wanted, money you shall have, I owe you this for time wasted in my ser vice." "Verona !" burst from Philip Anson's astounded lips. "Verona, listen to me," but it was too late, I had listened to that deceitful voice too long, and I swept pass him hastily leaving the room.--That was the last time I over saw Philip Anson, no protestations could move, I refused to read his letters.-And I now thank God," continued Miss Verona Walton, " that lie gave my woman's heart strength sufficient to do the deed, enabling me to mete out punishment where it was due, and hold ing up to the contempt and ridicule of a community, the fortune-hunter." When Miss Verona Walton had finish ed her story, she hastily arose, and gath ering up her wvorking materials abruptly left the circle. The stillness of the room was brokenm by the laugh of Rose Martin, who exclaimed " What a truly novel revenge !" "'And what an unwomanly one," said Miss Ruth Seymour. "Verona may call it strength, but I call it the weakest of all weakness when woman stoops to he re venged on the man she professes to have once loved. Revenge at best, is put a poor balm, and utterly powerless when applied to cure the wounads inflicted by Love. WE always love to record a case of pure honesty, such as we saw pesterday afternoon. A gentleman dropped a dol lar hill in the street, and a small boy, with a basket of oranges on his arm, who w~as passing round the Museum corner, hastily picked it up, and running after him, returned the bill into the owner's possession. " Ah !" said the gentleman, " you are an hanest lad, indeed you are, sonny," and he gave him a cent. Mosr men, and women too, seem to consider their school learning as if it were like a tad-pole's tail, meant to drop off as soon as the owner-comes to full growth. THE Merchant who don't advertise, is just about as wise as the honest Hiber nian, who had clambered to the 'brink of a well and then let go his hold to epit in his had. A Crisis at Band. The most sagacious and the most im partial observers of the public measures and their tendencies in civilized countries, are those who compose the commercial classes. It is these men who have so often to exclaim to their inconsiderate rulers, let us alone. To them there is nothing more hateful, or more ruinous, than the frequent interference of govern. ments to their business. This, however, they cannot always prevent, and there fore their sagacity is ever on the alert, to detect and guard against movements which, either through rashness or ignor ance, a national legislature sometimes contemplates. Invested or fixed capital is always sure to feel the first blow. It is to this observant class of men that we now address ourselves. It is to those skiliul and thoughtful merchants, whose conduct, example and opinions are of such immense value to the public, that we now address ourselves, believing most sincere ly that it is no time to hesitate-no time to "palter in a double sense," with the difficulties which are at hand. We are no alarmists, but we believe the day and hour are nigh, which are to upheave the constitutional foundations of thi< country. But a few days since, and at a public entertainment, at which the Legislature of this State were guest3, and their great leader was present, and audible, it was announced, that in the course of another generation, the United States would ex tend southward to to the Isthmus of Pa nama and there would then be neither master nor slave. This sentiment was re ceived with applause, and will go forth to our Southern brethren as the voice of the Empire State. What effect this will have on those portions of the confederacy in the South, which have thus far remained loyal to the Union, time can only deter. mine. We do not pretend to know even what On amount of disgust such an avowal may produce in the minds of our South ern friends and correspondents. What we seek to make the subject of the earn est consideration of our readers. is the fact that the State of South Carolina at this moment is surely preparing for secession from the Union, and whether she succeeds or not, the attempt will he a deathblow honor of the Union. This is the point we should bear in view. Tt is of no conse quence whether South Carolina withdraws peaceably or is compelled by force to re main, the fatal blow will be struck. The American Eagle will receive its death wound with an arrow poised with feath ers from its own wing. Mr. Seward may secretly believe that this constant inter ference with the domestic institutions of the South, will elevate him to the Presi dency without much risk to the Union, and that the Northern States will finally yield under the pressure of Northern opin ions and political necessity. But in our judgment he and all his friends err in this view of the subject, and that unless they are undeceived, or coerced by the public voice to cease their dangerous agitation, a crisis is at hand which will involve us all in ruin. If the agitators contemplate this as a possible consequence of their agi. tation and yet determine to go on, if they think the Union is of no value, in com. parison with the success of an abstract benevolence, to use the mildest term, (for practically nothing better can be expected, even if the question of slavery leads to a dissolution of the Union,) then no punish ment can he too severe, no axe too sharp for those willing traitors to their country. What can the Southern slave gain by the separation of the Southern States from the Norther-n Or what the Nor-thern blacks by such ant occurrence ? Neither religion, nor humanity, nor patriotism, nor white men or black, wiill be benefitted in the slightest degree by any such catastrophe But our- object is to show that the dan ger is more imminent than has been sup. posed. It will not require any concert of action at all, in the slaveholding States, to dismember the Union, or to destroy its credit or commerce. South Carolina is competent to do all this mischief herself, and it is this, which our hot headed agi. tators willfully overlook. This point which they overlook, is pre cisely the one which we wish to bring be. fore the readers of the Dry- Goods Re potr for the purpose of inducing thei to action, before it is too late. The acd of rupture, " tenth or ten thousandth, breaks the chain alike." A magazine may be exploded by a sin gle spark, a ship may be lost by means n a single leak. The Union will be endn gored if not destroyed by any resistance on the part of South Carolina. Because, the first act of secession dis organizes the wvhole theory of our Govern ment. In this case, it will be the net of a sovereign State, it will not be a Shays re volt, nor wvhiskey insurrection. It will be a solemn act, appealing to the U. States not only, but to the whole wvorld, and it wvill be couched in such language, and be founded on such show of reasoning, at will have effect, not only on a large body of Americans, with similar feeling, and smarting under similar provocations, but on those nations of Europe that have long desired our dowafall. Tt wiill at once be seen t'at there is no enduring tie among the States, and that ther surnetuity is at an end. A howl of demoniac joy will be heard throughout the pandemoniums of tyranny at the downf.Il of a Republic, destroyed by its own in ternal discords, and which otherwise could have maintained itself against a world in arms. The United States will no longer pre sent to them the imposing attitude of' a powerful and consolidated people, but a cluster of broken and disunited provinces, jealous of each other, and falling victims in turn to the supremacy of the strongest for the time. This struggle, commenced by this solemn act of secession, which will dethrone the Constitution, and invite foreign nations to the plunder of our com merce and our soil, will he prolonged by the active opposition of the National Gov ernment, in arms, under such circumstan ces, probably controlled by the fanatical politicians, who have produced this disor der. We see how personal fears, or per. sonal ambition have already so clouded the vision, or paralyzed and deafened the energies of the administration, that it has acted for the Union only by empty and unenforced proclamations. But from this .position itwill be necessarily driven, when the Legislature of S. Carolina attempts the collection of the imposts. The Gen eral Government having possession of the forts in the harbor of Charleston, and a navy to support them, will of course re move its custom house to the forts, and there demand its'duties. The receipts of the U. States-Collector will avail the im porters nothing, on reaching the Charles ton wharves. Duties will again be de manded, and the inevitable consequence will be the utter ruin of the trade of S. Carolina, or an appeal by the State to the great European powers, say France and England, to protect their own ships, when trading with a sovereign and independent State. It will not be long under such an invitation, before a conflict takes place, costing us our best blood and treasure, exciting every man in the country to the highest pitch, and drawing forth the now restrained sympathies of other Southern States. . Without contemplating this probable termination of such a conflict to the hap piness ot the people of this country for ever, let us see what effetus would liave n our commeial prosperit. The national credit would be struck do vn at once. Our domestic credit would suc cunmb. What foreigner or what Ameri can capitalist would care about holding public stocks of any kind, when the fabric which supports them was given way? A general panic would pervade the country and the seenrity and confidence which now give such strength and success to its commercial operations, would depart "like the baseless fabric of a vision, nor leave a wreck behind." As a matter of course all Southern busi ness would be abandoned at the North. Most existing~debts would be found preca rious. In contemplation of being gener ally drawn in the contest, debtors in the Sonthern States would cease to pay and bankruptcy would sweep down our mer chant princes, while the demonds who produced all this mischief would lose no thing. Nay they would fatten on the hell-hroth they had brewed in their infer nal cauldron. What is commercial prosperity-what the success of the upright and honest mer chants what the comfort of our homes what the peace of our minds in their esti mation, if these wretches can only raise a temptest and sweep away the foundations of the Union. Suppose the city of New York ceases to be the emporium of our commerce, wvhat do they care if they can have a momentary triumph with a factious leader. It would unquestionably b~e quite im p~ossible to carry on regular business with the South, if one seceded State had the power to divert, by the absence of duties or a low gradluation of them, the trade wvhich had diffused itself, under general constitutional system. No doulbt such discrimination would be made by European powers, in favor of a seceded State, as would compel other States to fall into a compact with it, and thus the alienation of feeling would be sustained by thme alienation of interest, until our industry was actually gone, and our cohesion for ever destroyed. All these results are sure to follow, even on the slightest act of resistance on the part of South Carolina. A personal ren contre between a citizen of that State and a Government Inspector of Customs, is enough to light the flame of discord and plunge the country into a fratricidal w-ar. But supposing that the Government can by force of arms retain South Carolina within the Union. The act of force, is of itself destruction to the moral sentiment which has so long kept us together. S. Carolina a conquered State will never again he a zealous amid happy member of the confederacy. Our whole theory of government will be blown to the winds when we have gained the victory; and the Republic no longer the serene and tranquil abode of freedom, will be an iron league,mai ntaining itself against the weak er and 'discontented States by blood and chain. Merciful heaven ! to what a re sult are these desperate agitators hurry ing us. Merchants of N.

York Dry Good Reporter. From the Charleston Daily Sun. Ohio and south Carolina. One the fairest statements of thereli live positions of our State, though limitadt to offensive conduct of only one of the. members of confederate aggression, is to. be found in the Wilmington Commercial of the 3d inst., by which it seems the ultra, principle that sovereign authority may do no wrong, hitherto maintained by the world at large, and established as a pre medent for every evil which forms an ob itacle to the security and progress-ofliber. y, is properly and justly estimatecL. If ave are too ultra in our views for the paz iive spirit of the age, and apprehension ias preached to any a doctrine which er yerience has ever controverted, we would: mnly satisfy them of the policy of our loctrines, by instituting a comparison be. tween the past and the present state of our country, and an appeal to the lessons )f every age and nation which has shown the danger of delay. There are among us tho-se who do not believe us altogether more sinning ilant sinned against, who have some respect'for >ur feelings, albeit the majority o Pose is, who feel, that there might be ome ingering spark of sincerity .in ourhiearts; some just groundsof coiplaint; o rotestations are not:a u f meaning; that. the. si b as aonst iisd,i1Ci ee, n atit sm, courage-and eveiy in the long.catalogue.of 1vii1t; u aupton Tned to our oppressors, whawtddlead. them to believe this byprofessions which belie their deeds, while it is centered in S..

If for Ohio we generalize a little more and include all who have ever excited, by acts of partiality and injustice, the spiit of opposition now alive in our State,.it will be a more correct illustration of the. case. Ohio and South Carolina.-The two. States named above are pursuing a course. tending to the same result, but with a re markable difference in motive. Ohio goes for disunion in the perpetration of a wrong; South Carolina goes for it in the vindica tion of a right. Ohio desires to insult and degrade her neighbors; South Carolina wishes restitution for the past, and secu rity from insult and degradation for the future. TRUE-EvERY WoRD.-The Mobile Tribune speaking of the eleetion of Hami-. ton Fish United States Senator from New York, says: " It is quite marvellous that, under such a manifestation, any unbiased per son should he found in this country tot declare that Northern opinion is growing more favorable to the South. The fact is, opinion there is only becoming more set tied against the South, and the quietness in which it is exhibited is only proof that its first eager and ratber noisy demnonstra tion has settled down into a conscious ness of power, wh~i.:h needs no rattle of barty drums to rally it to the duty it has laid out to perform-namely, the repeal of the fugitive slave law.. " The last Congress, now dead and. gone, (heaven rest it!) was not the Gield for a display of the tactics which are to. lead to this result. There was some doubt there of power. The new Con will come up with additional stren for. the purpose, an~d if skilful presiential partisans do not again defer it, tho whole field of the enemy will therein be display. ed. Everything at the North betrays this purpose. There is not solitary in :ident there to lessen apprehension or to. illay the most hopeful doubts on the sub ect." Tun ONE M-N PowER.-One has- a tremendous power, sometimes, even in this republican country. He can, with his veo, sometimes make a Governor of i State.
