Fe this dofection, they have been formally rea out, of thDenmocratic party by Mr. Wood o Ohio, and even Father Ritchie. has venturet to chide them severly. We heard yesterda] of the election of A. J. Glosobrenner as Ser y geant at Arms of tihe House, and. of the post poneuient of tihe balloting for other oflicers The Vermont resolutions upon slavery, stil furnish a theme for debate in Congress. e From this discussion some of the fines . speeches of thle session have been derived t Those of Butler, Clemens and Davis, partic j ularly arrest attention. Sound and forcibh . in argument, eloquent in style, and mnanly ir tonle, they have excited a sensation in Con. . gress, and throughout the country. The j Virginia Legislature to which body the Ver. . mont resolutions were transmitted, by ar r unanimous vote, instructed their Governor t senil back the rerolutions to the Governor o0 Vennont with the significant endorsement "that the people of Virginia understand the constitutional rights, and know how to main. tain them." This is assuming a bold and de. cided ground,and this is tihe proper spirit ir t which Northern insolence should be rebuked, an1 Northern aggression arsested. Muci excitement has been caused both here and elsewhere by a circular from the Secreta.y of the Treasury recently issued. It appears that Congress has heretofore limited tie ex. penses of coliecting the Revenue to $1,500 0(0. This sum before inadequate, has been rendered nore so by the establishment of the Ware housing system.which demaude a large outlay, yet yields n1o income. The Secreta. ry has therefore been compelled to suspend tihe Revenue [Service, to withold a portion of the salaries of Custom House officers, and to charge upoi the importers, expenses here tofore horne by time department, until the timit referred to should be removed. This has since been done by time Semite, and should time louse concur, the greivances now complained of will be avoided. Several vessels are now up in our port for California, one is to be loaded with lumber which at the rates now ruling in California, will produce for the consignors a profit of .400 per cent.

There is also a very great nuisauco to the travelling public. in being forced to remain from 1-2 hour upwards, at the. same place while on their return homeward.. Another ve ry great consideration if the Middlpton rout were adopted. would be the earlier arrival of our mail-~which at present reaches us at va ried hours of night, from 10 until 12 o'clock -a serious inconvenience not only to the public. who are dearred answering their correspondents by return.of mail, but places the arduous duties or our worthy Post Man ter at unsuitable midnight hours-The trav elling public will save ten miles fare by Rail Road-The Stage Proprietor will save time and distance, and have the benefit of a good Road which would induce many who now use their own conveyances to patronise his enter prise, by thus.changing the rout from States. burg to Middleton. It is said that the Stage is forced to the present rout by having to deliver 'he States burg mail.-Now Mr. Editor could we not persuade the Post Master at Charleston to make up a seperate mail for the above place -a boy and horse would be all that is neces. sary to convey that mail from the Claremont Depot to the Post-office, and a similar mail could be made up at this office and sent by the Rail Road to Statesburg-The expence of a boy and horse to convey the Statesburg mail from Claremont Depot, would be more than amply covered by the increase of travel by the Middleton rout.-Thus Mr. Editor, all the objections, to the proposed change would be removed. I know that all my fellow Townsmen will coincide in my advocacy of this rout, and the growing importance of our Town requires more convenient access to and from the Rail Road than that we now posess.-I myself am a constant traveller, and absolutely dread the moment when I hive to start upon the jour ney, from the inconvenience and delays of the present rout, tnd I feel warranted in saying that where Os person takes the stage now, FOUR would if tlie rout were changed. I trust Mr. Editor that the Proprietor will take these facts into consideration, and act as befits. his interest and that of the counmunity. A MERCHANT. BEAU'TFUL.

I speak to al those with whomn I come in contact.

The negroes have been, for three years, their own masters, excepting that the overseer, a low, Ignorant and selflsh man, drives them as hard as ill tmage will let them go. We have, therefore, on this farm, negro slavery in the very worst form in which it can be exhibited in the whole South. And what is the resulti Are the people better off, or worse off, than the laboring free whites of England, and of Ireland) They are better off-a hundred . times better a.f#' They are fat and cheerful; each keeps his pig, hires himself or herself out on holidays, and they visit each other on Sundays, or go over to Maryland to amuse themselves. On Sun days, also, the house servants do nothing of any kind. The children play about, doing a few little offices, such as my own children do daily, and I have never seen them corrected more than they deserve. Two persons have been whipped for theft. For a similar of. fence in England, a inan would have been put in prisoen for a month or two, and his fami ly left to starve."

From this fact it was inferred, froma the pow orful consctitiona and phtysical devohopements of the negro, that, if free, they would outlive, as the.y coui~ld ontwork, the entire white race. 'Thle contrary is the fact. TIhae slave at the South cannot work whlen over seventy years old. Ihis master is required by law to pro vide himu w'ith a comfortable home, food, and raiiment; and the negro, having nothing to do, no care upon his tmnd, pulenty to eat and drink, lives to an immense age. Suppose him to be froe at seventv, wvithiout a master or a friend, anad dependaut'<mt himself fir a living lhe would periwh for want ini a few years. It is the gntiet conatent anti ht:nanity of slavery, of haigamaster, whlich enales the negro toaieg long. This mnay appear to be sole cisim, buat it is a fact. WVe may preacht against negro slavery as much as we please, but it is a huanae instituation at the South, whlile freedom at the Nor-th leaves the masses of Africans poor, depenidenat, and, ini old .age, nearly always the inmates of the ahn-house. Our abolitionists, even if successful, can nov er ameliorate the condition of the blacks. [ Noah's Times.
