Horse Taming.
Those of our citi.ens who are incredulous upon
the .ubject of horse taming, can have their doubts
entirely removed by applying to 31r. Ananz Av
xtssus, a professor of that art now in this place.
31r. A., as many of our readers know, is a native
anl a resitlent of this District, and maty he relied
upon in all respects. lie has purohased from the
celebrated L-tten the sole right to practise thir
singular art in Edgefield and Barnwell; and is
prepared to indoctrinate all who desire it, at the
m.,der:ite rate of ($10) tn dollars for a course ol
lesons,-no pay requiredi if the pupil is not satis
f-ed. Having attended Mr. ATxaIsos's instructive
exhibitions with a number of other gentlemen, we
take pleasure in saying that the thing Is no bum
bug,-but, on the contrary, a practical good, which
all country gentlemen, and especially such as art
f-.nd of horses, should thoroughly understand. Mr.
A. can put you through easily and elegantly.
James Heney, of Augusta.
On- of the tuost inviting Stores in the City of
Augusta is that of Mr. JAmrs ll:xey. Besides
his superior assortment of Dry Gools, he has a
Millinery department in fine order immediately
connected with his other business, under the su
pervision of Mrs. 11., where may he found the most
clegant an.l fashionable array of Bonnets, La.
dies' and Misses' Hats. Mantillas, Shawls, Rib.
ljons, Trimumings, &c., &c. This Establishment
ought to be a great attraction to the Ladies.
Steamer Augusta Burned--Loss of Life.
WE aunounced very briefly in our evening edi
tion of yesterday.(says the Augusta Ouneitution
oUet, of the 3d inst.,) the destruction of the steam
1uat Augusta, by fire, on the Savannah river, about
firty miles below this city.
The Augusta left here at half-past four o'clock
on Friday evening last, and was on her way to
:avannah, with a very valuable cargo, consisting
of some seven hundrod and eighty bales of cotton.
five huudred and thirty-five barrels of flour, a lot
of bran, and other articles.
About eleven o'clock P. M., while laid up at
Eagle Point, fire was discovered in eumo c.tton
in the fore part of the boat. The progress of the
tire was very rapid, and the boat was soon envel
oped in flames. Most of the hands were asleep at
the time; and it was with great difficulty that
Capt. FRAssn, or any of those on board could be
saved.
Mr. Ifenry Day, the first engineer, was drown
ed; and three negro men wore also lost-two of
them drowned, and onc-the cook-probably
burned.
The boat was burned to the water's edge, and,
with the cargo, is a total loss. We have been in.
for-ned that the cotton was insured, a portion in
New York, and a portion in Boston; and the flout
in this city; but there was no insurance on thie
boa:t.
'The origin of this unfortunate and melancholy
affair is unkn~oan.

"The pirincipal tcase, and the most initeresting
of the week. was that ot The State, vs. Caper,

W ~ e are gratified by this complIment of the Cont

since his return, dissatisfied with his effort on tihe
occar-ion alluded to. Hie had undergone two weeks
of great labor at our own Court immediately pi e

his argument. We are glad to know that this was
all in his own imagination.
Witt and Ihudson.
Persons In want of furniture would do well to
call at the furniture roorns of Messrs. Wiii &
H enosos in this village. Their supply is large and
well selected, embracing all such articles as are
needed in the bed-room, the dining-room, or the
parlor. Messrs. W. & Hf. are determined to sell
at prices that cannot admit of grumbling; And~
they ask an examination of their stock. You wili
scarcely go further, if you call on them.
A Notable Invention.
We h::ve seen a capital imnprovemen- at the Car

the shape of a " Spring-back Buggy," invented by
Mr. N. Cowr.s, who is now engaged in superin

better than we can tell you.

Remarks of Hon. X. L. Bonham.
On Monday last quite a number of our most
intelligent citizens were in attendance at this place
notwithstanding the heavy rains of the night pre
vious and the swollen condition of the creeks and
branches. At the hour of 12 M, it wits announced
that our immediate Congressma, General Box
tAM, was ready to addre.-s his constituents on the
political matters of the day ; and in a short time
the Court House was thronged.
General BJuMAU said that he found pleasure in
being able thus early to comply with a call that
had been ma.le upon him to address the people.
lie responded readily and cheerfully. The events
of the past Session of Congress were of great mo
went to the country, and he deeply regretted that
the indieations were of that inauspicious character
which prevented his replying with hopefulness to
the inquiry addressed to him as one of their senti
nels- Watchmian, what of the night ?" le could
taot say, with the sentry ton his lonely round, -All's
rell!" Duty compelled him to declare that it was
not a time of security with its, but that, to the reverse,
the rights and interests of the South have never
b)een in more peril or in greater danger. Nine
years ago Mr. CALHnOrS predicted with his aWcus
touted forecat, that if this shtvery agitation were
not arrested i its mad progress, it would end in a
lissolution of the Union. Were he now alive, he
wYould find but too much cause to realize the force
of his predietion,-to be convinced, in fact. that the
events he foresaw in the distance were almost im
mediately at hand.
Thero were many matters of intercst before Con
gress at its recent Session, but that which towered
in na-gnitude alove the rest was still this ceaseless
question of slavery. Reference to the later de
bates of the Session will indicate with sufficient
clearness what we are to expect in this connection
from the Federal Congress.
General Bos.tx then reviewed the progress of
the anti-slavery agitation and its repeated en
croachiments upon the South. He spoke of the
legislation of Congress begun as far back as 1784;
af the famous ordinance of 1787, by which Slave
States ceded to the anti-slavery demand extensive
and invalualle territory; of the Compromise of
1S20 and its adverse effects upon the power and
trell-being of the Slave States; of the California
swindle, by which territory purchased largely by
Southern treasure and Southern blood was yielded
to the craving appetite of a rapacious anti-slavury
majority. It had been said that. to compensate
for these frauds, a repeal of the odious Missouri
Cumpromise had been effected. But what will be
the value of that repeal, if the dangerous positions
of Senator Dovsw..ts are to exercise a controlling
influence in the direction of affairs? It will prove
to be but a pliantom to allay Southern indignation;
.tud instead of resulting in her benefit, its advan
tages will rather accrue to the North, opening to
her citizens yet more available means of occupying
even the Southern territories and of banithing
slavery from their borders.
The speaker next proceedel to combat the dan
.crour views of the Illinois Senator. The mischief
nan with a real or affected midunlerstanding of
the Kais.ias Nebraska Act.
By thenon-interveution of Congresi, nomore nor
less was ever meant than this, that Congress should
not Legislate slavery into or out of a Territory.
Abolitionists said Congress had that right. Both
wings of the Democratic party denied this. The
Southern wing nmaintained that the question of
ilvery or no shivery, is to be decided by the Con
.cntion calledl (whenever the nunnber of the in
abitants justified i: ) to f..rm thu Conastitutiona of
.he new tte, prep.aratory toa samision into the
.uonfederar~y of State5, and not bieforo. Squnatter
Seivereignaty, whilst it admliits thae right ot' the
daanholder to go with is elaves itto the Territu
:ies, stays, that tho power to dutermninu whether
.lavery shall or .batll not exist in the Territories.
is in the Territuorial Legislatatri: and if the Leg
islature, as hits been donte in Kanisias, any sluimery
shall not exist in the Territory, athiongha it adumits
the action of that Legislature mtust be subordinate
to the Constitution and the Supreme Court, still it
further says, Congress can not interfere to enfore
the rights of the slave holder in the Territory. If
this doctrine be true, it is as bad as the Wilmot
Proviso, and renders the repeal of the Missouri~
Compironmise a dead letter. It is the idlest mnoeke
ry to tell the slaveholder, you have as much right
to take your slaves into the Territories, as the
northern man his horse, but if the Territorial Leg.
islature, backed by a handful of Squatters, say
slarery shall not exist, that there is tao remedy.
Wherever there is a right, there is a remedy.
The Kansas Territorial Legislature has under
taken to prohibit slavery. This sets at naught the
Constitution and the deision of the supreame Cottrt of
the l'nited States, and whenever a case arises of a
slave holder hbeing deprived of the emjoyment of
his prtoperty by sutch Legislation, it will be the du
ty of Congress to pass rsuch laws as will carry in
to effect the trite intcnt anid meaning of the Con
stitution. Any otlier doctrine will prove adestruc
tive of thte rights of the Sotthern pe:'ple in the
comnnuan Territories. The cretaure can not he
greater than the creator. Congress has nao right
to Legislate slavery into or out of a Territory.
Can its inere creatures dlo it ? But Congress has.
pssed a ftugitivc slave law, to carry otut the prei
viions of the Constitutioan even in Sovereign
States. How much more then is it compectent fair
Congress-ay, its duty, to 1pass necessary Laws to
protect the rights of the citizen in the Territories
whent the nmere creatuires of Congress not or.ly re.
use that protectiona, bait legislate adversely.

.tti Conaventioin, which Mr. Docom.Ass is understoo-1
to have cordially approved. But ho has gone
against us, as the declarations of his Freeport
speech unamistakeably prove. His ntew-Iledged
principle is dangerous to our republican systemn.
and especially dletrimnental to the interests of thte
Southernt people. It prepares in our territories an
invitiag resort for the dlocks of emtigratnts datily
rriviaag at Northertn ports, antd for thae surplus
population oif te Northern States, tmatny of them
lrwnm fraom the vilest purlieus of their cities. Int
tts operationa, it presents the startliung spectacle of
a few thousanad such settlers gifted with thte extra.
riaary power of exclu.ling eight millions of
freemen from the common property of the pecople of
these States. In the latS Congressionial debate,
Sentors, MAsosc, DAvts, Blaowy, and others, met
this view of the Illianois Senator with the declara
tion that his doctrine is not, was. not, and cannaot
~e the doctrine of the Souath. But for this danger
ons developement by one who has occupied so
prominent a position in the democraticeranks, there
was ground for hope that our territorial organiza
tions might have proceeded peacefully in the fu
ture; but ntow that Kiansas has undlertaken to
abolish slavery in heur bordern, now that thais doe
trine of squaatter suvereigntny is being enmbraredl
op::nly by the Northa, anid at least by the D~ocur.As
fation of the democracy. thec question is upona us
and w tare oiblige-1 to m~eet it.
Thea speaker then followed Mr. CA.not:s int tra
itg tiate gadulial severtance thtat hail beetn l..nag

staning piromainent in this maanitfestation. Ilo
wol~l foilow up that train of thaoughat. The politi
cal parties of the ciunatry are also going by the
board. The Whig party is already gone; and the
Demoratic party, he feared, was also about to lose
the prestige of its greatness and success. No man
had anore to do with bringing this about than
Senator DrotGtAs, by hais combahination with theo
llack Republicans against theo Lecotnptont Con
stittion. If lie was th"n aspectedl of unsoundi
ness, what cani we say of lhhat now, that he has
pulpatly gotne iver to the enaemy.
tenteralh Bosnt~s thena proiceededl ti tourba brief
ly tp-n the Taii, deehtarinag his~ telief tlait we
wiold lie speedily callead oat to look this qauestioan
fully ina thae face. Ito outtured inato a critical
analysis of the present tatrif, showing its unequaal
bearing on the South. IIe feared ate division otn
this point in South Carolina. Even in 1833, when
diferenes existed amongst us as to the mode of re
dress, her people were a unit In hostility to the
protective system. To this day, their hoatility is the
.m.n .. ihsen it was first flly eunkindled by the
natchless eloquence of our own McDuIFFvK. Hap
py for us, that it is so; fur that battle is again to
)e fought. During the iast winter, we of the
iiouth had cause to realize the coming on of the
ttorm. Upon the very first day of the Session, a
lemocrat succeeded in suspending the rules of
the House, anel presentedi a resolutiou to revive
this abomination. Tho object had in view was
mificiently clear; indeed it was not sought to be
liogulised. The aim aul purpose wasi protection,
by increasing the duties on articles at present
taxed, without reference toa any abridrement of the
piresent free list as was hited. Dy great exertion
the measure was smothered for the so.ssion ; but it
will in all probability come upon us next winter.
With the falling off or the democracy to be expoe
ted in Pennsylvania and elsewhere upon this t-ub
ject, we cannot well hope to avert the measure
longer. It will be forced upon us, if we are pre
pared to submit.
' The speaker next alluded to the Homestead Bill,
spoke of it as a pet scheme of the abolitionists,
well calculated to assist the emigration societies of
the North in filling up the territories with free votes.
With the allurement (f a homestead in the distance,
free of cost, the operations of these societies would
he increased tenfold. Bring, then, into successful
llay, the infamous doctrine of sqjuattersovereignty;
and we of the South, and ours. are forever exclu
ded from all participation jn the benefits of the
public domain. In this connection he would ten
der a deserved tribute to the manliness and virtue
of President BuenASAM, who had boldly vetoed
this insidious hill.a The present administration, he
thought, had come into power under rather unfa
vorable auspices ; and up to the time of WALKri's
dismissal from Kansas, it could not be said that
the President was altogether acceptable to tile
South. Some of his principles were not so now.
His recommnendation of specific duties in lieu of
ad ralorents, stood prominent among these. (Here
our representative drew a lucid distinction between
these kinds of duties.) Uis Pacific Railroad project
and his suggestion of a Mexican Proteetorate were
likewise objectionable. But Mr. BUCHIANAS has
yet stood the friend of the South on many ques
tions. anl he deserves the gratitude of our people.
His veto of the Homestead Bill, his ardent support
of the Lecompton Constitution and his present un
flinching advocacy of the restrictive clause of the
English Bill, form a part of his course which calls
for our unstinted approval. He (General B.)
whilst ever opposing the administration where he
thought its policy incompatible with the interests
of his section. had ever given it his most cordial
support when right.
In regard to the Publie Expenditures, there was
ample cause for dissatisfaction in knowing that
sixty millions of dollars were now called for to de
fray the expenses of administering the govern
ment, whereas thirty millions were sufficient for
that purpose only sixteen years ago. This rapid
increase of expenditures could be rationally ne
counted for, in part, by the necessities of our
growing country. The increaseo still was enor
mous, and presented a fit subject of reform. The
Democracy was not altogether responsible for this
state of things. The Republicans must bear their
share of the blame. The former had already com
menced the work of retrenchment.
"Thus," said the speaker, "have I brieily ad
verted to some of the dangers that beset our path
way in this Gtoverninetit. You will now naturally
ask me,-what is the renmedy ? The question is
one of omomnentonms ltnterest, and neither to be asked
nor aniswerc.1 lightly. I 'rrepilyinmg to it, I enn on
ly sprask fir miysell; and I utter what I wounld sayv
if myl voice were pote'nt In tihe Soutth. Sincue the
tne when yo'u hono'red mec with a seat in the $tyte

that p'eriu.l sho.wed tbut t''u clearly that no Souith-.
ern Stamte is likely to make a great n,"vemneuit, like
this, ale. M.y auggstion is, that the Southi stand
upl as uone lmanm in defence of her rights in thme
U'nion, having for her first great object the control
of the Democratic party. But if that party shall
refuse to stand with us, then will it become neces
sary that we take our own position as a section.
If our while people, Denmocrats, Whigs and Know
nothitngs, will layv aside their differences andl unite
for this work ; if we shall resolve together tso avoid
all distracting issues new or old; we can than
make the democratic party of th'e country feel
that we intend to have our rights in the Union or
otut of it ;-and then there may be hepe. But.
faling In this, what rhoutld we do? Stand still
and have the chains of slaves forged upion us?
Every true Southern heart will answer, "lierer."
Some movement maust then be hegun, if not by all,
by some portion 'if the sluve States at every hiaz
nrdl. We have the example of the OMd Tiir'teen
to cheer us, itn the history of their nlovemient to
wards the war of the Rtevolution. T1hat moire
ment was not a simultaneous one ; and so may
ours not lie. Like themn. some two or umore of the
slave States may be counpelled to take the lead;
and like thenm, all the rest will follow and consu
mnate the great achievement, lBut in the initiation
'f ineh a movement, there are tw~o or three steps
it will be right in us to take. First, let us idrup
the existing Compact. Secondly, let us form a
new Compact with new guards for our safety and
equality in the Union. If this be not accepted.
then what is left us but to flitng to the breeze the
banner of a Southern Republie ?"
The speaker here cloisedl amid the applause of
his gratified auditory. We regret that, owing to
his indisposition, we have been dependent for our

A Word to Surveyocrs.
We have great pleasure in complying with the
request of an old friend, who is now a Diretress
of the Mt. Vernon Association, b~y publishing the
sujoined appeal in that b'ehalf to the Surveyors
of Georgia. It is hopedl that the intelligent Stur
veyrs of South taroina will also tamke it home to
their hearts and hutior the druft thuns made by
lovely womnan upon their liberality and patriotism.
Accesva, GA., 1st Jan. 1S59.
To Lihe S'irreyors of the~ State of Georgiu :-As
Surveyors, I aa cure it is not necessary to "ccupy
much of your time with pireiliinary reumarks. I
therefore proceed at once to aldresn you, trusting
the cause will be sufli.:ient apology for the liberty
I have taken in submitting this to your favorable
consideration, as an appeal for aid to the Ladies'
Munt Vernon Association.
You are aware the Ladies of the United States
have undertaken to purchase Mount Vernon, the
Hose and Tomb of Washington, with the view of
conerating them as a monument to ' The Father
of his Country." You are aware, too, that the
Ladies of Georgia participate in this undertaking,
and from time to time have called Open gentlemen
to aid theta in the accomplishment or their pur
pose.
The object is uneluestionably worthy of attain
ment ; it is also woirthmy of encouragement, for it
is a pur heart-offberinag of American women.
Are we to lhe piruna of Woomen, mand approivu
their erffurt to ereet a shrine ut which our souls and
tlose ol surceeoding genecrationas suny gather the
isirtionsi of pure p atriotismi, and neglect to
hly' thecm ? I trnet not. Tiherefore I enlt upon
you, as a brother surveyuor .ori ernftman of Wash.
ington, tui contribute s'amethini to, the success or
this eunterprise of Americnn Ladies. Do niot hit
the craft tbe charged with derclietiomn of the patri
otim and gallantry of thme Hlero who has given so
much digniity to the profession.
Ini the absence of organizationa. the Surveyors
of the country are -nut recognised as one of its
institutions, and they do not stand as prominently
before the public as a class, as others of equal
merit. This movement, however, if it is accow
plisied with tolerabile unanimity, will show their
strength, and in conneetion with the occasion, will
give thuem the rank to which they are entitled.
Gecorgia has about one hundred and fifty 8urrey.
r,, anid the United States about five thousand. A
onall contribution from each would naake up a
bm of such niagnitude as would ensure the Sur
reyors an honorable place in th~e archives of the

With the above as "stations, pinlters andl cor

Squatter Sovreignty.
A respected and cherished correspondent en
guires of us: " Why is it that you have not given
an opinion about Dorcs.Ai's inf.:rnal doctrine of
squatter sovreiguty. If that thing is to be tolera.
tod, all constitutional lanmliarks might as well be
ubliterated."
A word or two in response. Many weeks ago,
this paper did denounce the opinions of the Illinois
Senator, upon this very point, as "heretical."
Since that time, we had been induced to think
that those opinions wero by no moans so extremei
as newspaper reporters had represented them ; and
we were inclined to modify our judguent of that
statesman's political soundness accordingly. Thus
impressed, we penned this brief paragraph in our
issue of the 2nd March:
"By the way, the "Little Giant" is narrowing
down his notion of squatter sovereignty to a very
small point. lie declares that slaves are proper
ty: and that slave-holders have a perfect right to
take theut into any territory while it remains a
territory: and, furthermore, that no territorial
legislature has a right to inhibit slavery or to leg
islate against it, for thatany such legislation would
be uneonstitutional. He declares though, that it
is entitled to no more special irotectiont than any
other species of property. Now, if this implies
that there is, under the organic act or elsewhere,
any general ptrotection of all hinls of property
(slavery included) the Illinois Senator's political
mal-feasauce is not so heretical as was supposed."
By developments which do not admit of doubt,
it now appears that Mr. DOrOLAS was not misun
derstood as to the extent of his opinions on the
subject of popular sovreiguty. In other words,
his Southern friends and would-be-supporters have
failed to give any such coloring to his doctrine as
can at all recommend it to Southern approbation.
When Mr. Dovot,.s says that the people can
drive slavery from a territory by unfriendly logis
lation, injurious enactments,& c., and that Congress
cannot interveno to prevent them, we hold that he
is subverting the principles of our government in
a most dangerous point. The doctrine ofons-in
tervention, as estalblished by the Kansas-Nebraska
Act, had directly in view this vital question of
slavery, and iras understood to be an agreement
that all citizens of the United States, with any and
all kinds of property, should enter the territories
with equal rights and remain there with equal
rights until such time as the people, emerging into
life as a State Sovroignty, should be recognized by
Congress as the proper power to decide for itself
this and all other questions of domestic polity.
Then and then alone does there arise, on territori
al ground, any authority of equal power with that
of the Federal Govrnment,-any authority, in
fact, which is not the mere creature of the Federal
government and amenable to its controll in all
cases of unconstitutional legislation. Then and
then alone, does the authority exist tany t-here to
legislates for or against African Slavery. If such
be not the doctrine of non-intervention, then have
many of us at the South sadly miscalculated the
progress of sound principles as held forth by the
Democracy of the Union.
But others do not go qnito to the Doror.Ap ex
treme of squatter sovreignty. They maintain that
the territorial government has no power to legislate
against slavery, by acts directly prohibitory; and
yet, that it can withhold protective legislation to
such an extent as will offectually exclude or ban
ish slave-holders from the occupancy of the terri
tories with their peculiar kind of labor. It is
matter of deep regret to observo that even a few
Sothern jnnrnals arc looking upon this position
with somse dlegree of toleration. Hlow is it p.oeible
that they caolo so ? Wha tever it be of gov ernmsien
ssil influence that mnilitates n~rainst slavery in the
territories, whether the actlion or the non-action of
he territorial authosritiec, whether the enmity oir
the neglect of the territirial otliciasls Z.-, do e iual
insticed to all, it is alike violative of Southerni rights
and in contrarention of constitutional justice. The
South asks no special piritoetiont for thu property
of' her citizens in the territories-that is, no fur
ther protection than is vouchasa'.md to every other
kind of property against injuries andl trespasses.
But thsis last degree of protection she does claim
under the broad aigis of the Constitution, and that
son of hers who would yield this claim- for a mso
ment is surely deluded by some strange infatua
tion. We neither need nor ask that any new
regulations or laws be instituted by the territorial
overnments for the safety of our slaves. But we
demand that our property in themt shall stand
securely under the pirotection of the Courts and
the oficors of the Courts. We insist upon our
right to as prompt redlress in the tcrritories as we
can obitain in the District of Columobia. We fur
ther insist that any obstacle thrown in the way of
this redtress by the territiarial legislature,-ay,
more, that any omission of theirs by which this re
.ress many be inmpared, demands the intervention oef
Congress in our behalf; if an obstacle, it is ain
unonstitutional act which ('ongre's is b~ound to
reverse :if an omission, it is an unconsstitutional
refusal of justice which Co.ngress is bound to reme
dy. Admit that our appeal to the Couarts will he
sulicienit in suchb cases. and Consgrcss many rest in
pece. But if it be ntot soi, then Coingrres mutist
intervene to mnake it so. If this be inconsistent
with the boasted discovery of nun-intervention,
then down forcver with the stupid delusion. Sure
ly the South will stand ftc one man upon an issue
invnving so clear a pirinceiple as this. Surely our
Suthern delegations ini Consgress will be reqjuired
by the peo~ple of the Southern States to holdl fast
the faith on this vital point with a tenacity that
shall know no flinching. Let the Densocracy bie

REVIVAL OP THE SLAVE TRADE-N0. XI.
" The tear nust be curried into Afric."
Having disposed of the general question as to
the ability of the prosedt slave States of this
Union, either alone, or in conjunction with Mexico
and Central America to profitably subsist and em
ploy millions more Africans for thousands of
years, or until population shall have attained 100
or 200 to the square mile, let us now consider
whether if the slave trade were revived, the insti
tution of slavery could be established in our terri
tories, or in the Free States. As heterodox as the
followigg propositions are, I ntaintain,
1. That if the slave trade had never been closed
none of the old Northern States, except may be
those of New England, would have ever abolished
slavery.
2. That perhaps none of the New Free States
would have failed to establish it.
3. That if the slave trade were now revived
slavery would be established in all or nearly all
of both the Territories and Free States.
As all the issues hero raised naturally run into
each other, it would be better to examine them
colleetively instead of in detail.
In the first place, social ?henomena are governed
by as fixed laws, as those of the physical world.
Man with all his god-like faculties and fierce pas
sionssa as tnuch an eveu quanutity as any other
mobile element in nature and if left free to work
out his happiness in his own way, he will seek it
in the most obviaos paths, according to the rules
proscribed by the 1)ivinu Creator. llence it is
'mnly in obedience to the laws of elimnatv that poipu
lation is always impelled ouithward1 unless re
strained, or direrledl by soime adverse itnfluence.
The sp.ecifacatiun of a few simple facts will suffice
to deotnnstrate this. Less labor ean be plerformted
in a Northern latitude thana itn a Southern, because
snow and extreme cold exist for many months of
each year in high latitudes. The &amoe labor pro
duces much less in a Northern climate than in a
Southern one, on account of thme variety of pro
ducts being stmaller and the season for their growth
being so touch shorter in the North than in thoe
South, atnd fromt many aother facts which will readi
ly oeeur upon a little reflection.. Labor also cona
sumes much more of what it does produce, in the
North than in the South. It requires more food
heacase a larger quantity is neco'vary to supp!y the
fuel for animtal heat. Any one ents more during
winter, than in, sutmner, even in the same latitude.
The people of the tropies take hut two very light
and mostly vegitalble taeals, in the twenty fuur
hours. Labor neds thicker and warmer cloithing
In a Northern climate. It also demands tnore
fuel and better shelter against the unfriendly ele
ments. In addlitio~n to all this man forever dcsires
to inhabit a coutiry, where h~e cana fuel cenforta
ble at all timos against inhospitable weather. The
result is that although mtust iner- itn emigratin'g,
theoretically, prefer to get a new hotme in the same
latitude as their old oano, yet they uncoinsciuusly
drift southward. i
Thten as the time for labor is shorter, as the
yield of laibor is le's-as the subasislanice of labour
is monre expunsive-ais thte eletmenits urn more ut
pronitous in a cohal climate than in a wrarmn,
it is (only natural that poplulation.,houbl gravitrate
Southward. Accordingly we find thtat the densely

were neither of them niore than 21) degrees fr'om
the Equatoar, and that the *'neaheirn parts iof Europe,
as well as of Asia are now andl have alwnaa been

shows that thtero is somecting wrong-thtat the
laws which have governedl slavery from the earli

way, and I cootenid that thu deranging cause has
been the closing of the slave trade in 18sS.
But while slavery and emlancipiation have boith

has the huge wave of the European Exodus rolled
into the North to swell her population, but the
nautices of the North have also been driven back
or damned up, in face of the fact, that if only eual
pecuniary and palitlcal inducements are offered
in a Northern and Southern clime, the latter will
always be preferred, on account of its greater ge
nility. I contend that this anomaly in the move

A Correction--Revised Translation.
MN. EtrIon :-I have been asked several times
during the past week many questions concerning
the Revision of our translation of the Bible now
in progress. I have answered as best I coull.
But when I have been assured that the Methodist
Church, of which I have the honor of being an
Elder in the Ministry, has a part in this work, I
deem it necessary, in this public way, to proclaim
that this is not the fact. The Methodist Church
has nothing to do with it.
It has been urged that we have men engaged in
the work who are our members, to which I answer:
We may find, if we were to look closely, I have
no doubt, amongst a million and half of members
in our Church, some in the Penitentiary for ma
king counterfeit money-or in Mason lodges-or
in the Cabinet of the President of the United
States ; but the Church did not send them there
no more to one than the other. A connexional
Church like ours can only be compromised by her
Reprosentative, and she has none in any of thcse
distinguished places, for good or for evil, of her
appointing.
The above I hope will give decision to the ques
tion in the bounds of your circulation with emjha
sie, I hope, and not offence, which is the desire of
