Ivufus Clioate, one of the first citizens of Massachusetts, and a resident of Doston, has latelv declared his nnrnnsp in I I 1 a letter to the Whigs of Maine, to support Buchanan. Mr. Choate was formerly a Webster Whig. Ami a correspondent of the Carolinian, writing from somwhere in Virginia, closes his Setter with the following paragraph : "D writes me from Boston that, strange as it seems, Massachusetts will vole for Old Jivcfr. My impression is that the Black Republicans will be annihilated at the coming election." one may do so, but we can hardly believe it yet. In fact, until she shall have repudiated those vile Abolitionists, Sumner, Wilson &: Co., her support is scarcely desirable. Congress. The extra session convened, as callcd by tlie President, on Thursday after adjournment, and was still in session at last accounts. Tho House had re-passed the Army bill vwith the odious Kansas proviso, and the .Senate had again refused to accede to it bv ithe same overwhelming vote. This operaition, we believe, h.is been repeated two or ithree times, thus keeping the bill passing ifrom house to house like a shuttle-cock. It as probable the President will immediately call another extra session should the present one adjourn without passing the bill. Uudcr the new system of compensation, the members will receive no pay for extra sessions, and we hope the President will keep them there till they come to terms.

A sincere desire for tlic success of tins journal impels us again to call the attention of our readers to it, and to .'isk for it a supr port which its merits entitle it to. The a Examiner is published weekly, in Coluin bia, K. C., is printed in excellent style, on i fine p.tpL-r, and conducted with an ability which renders it, in our judgment, the best literary paper wo have over known in the South. It is not, however, altogether literary in its character, but discusses politics to , sonic extent, and gives weekly a summary! of political and oilier news. The price of! i subscription is $'1.00, and it is well worth ' i , it. We undertake to say that no one who i appreciates good reading can possibly fail to award to the Examiner the highest meed l s of praise, after an acquaintance with it. < Try it at least six month, and judge if we i speak more than the truth. I Address \V. 15. Johnston, Ks?p, Columbia, I S. C. I The Hireling and the Slave. iTom the gentlemanly bookseller of New- 1 berry village, Mr. W. J. D'iflio, wo have J received a ne.it little volume <>f lWms, of which the lion. \V. J. (Iiayson, of Charles- ' ton, is author, and Messrs. McCartcr ?fc Co., 1 also of Charleston, arc publishers. The principal one of these poems, and 1 the only one which we have had time to ' read, is entitled "The Hireling and the 1 Slave." ' 1 In easy ami elegant verso, I lie author has 1 attempted, and very successfully, a com- 1 parisou of the two systems of servitude 1 prevailing in the civilized world?voluntary * and involuntary ; or, hireling servitude and African slavorv. The state of the hirelin<; 1 i ** | and the slave is declared to he substantially the same. Both, in obedience to the docree of the Eternal that "by the sweat of 1 the brow shall thou obtain bread," are r doomed to labor. The labors and suffer- " ings of the hireling are graphically por- " trayed. Whilst he is able to perform the 1 service demanded of him the Keant wacres ' lie receives from day to day arc barely suf- ' fieient to meet his present wants ; and ^ when, IVom age or disease, ho is no longer 1 able to toil, one of two tales inevitably awaits him?speedy starvation in the streets, ' or a miserable ending of days in the most 1 wretched pauperism. Though the employ- ^ er may have realized half a century's faith- 1 fill service from him, the doomed hiieling <: ivlicn lio I'??cne fn l.no "?

Like the hireling, the slave, too, labors ' for a subsistence. As every one who 1 knows anything of the system must admit, ^ his service cannot be and is not more ardu- 1 ons than that of the hireling ; his recom- s pense could not be less and lie still live. 1 The one barely realizes the actual necessir?T lif<? ?ic !?ie I.--? *' * *1-- -1' * ...v > .. oivkuk.i , nu?v uuniu mu ouier realizo less ? The one goes to liis toil with T heavy cares weighing upon his soul ; the ? other knows no care. The one has a wife l and little ones looking /o him for their daily bread ; the other has his hours of rest inade happy hy the society of his family, but his hours of labor are disturbed by no ] thought of such heavy responsibility. The i one has assurance of reward only so long ( as (?od shall vouchsafe him ability to la- * bor: the other fuels nnd lcnnwa flint. disense or age comes on, lie is to he a life- t pensioner upon tlie bounties of bis master's c liouse. Tbc one sees bis invalid fellows begging a crust bere and there, or rudely thrust into the aggregated mass of groaning, suffering, dying pauperism; the other meets no such scenes. The one dying, thinks of his wife and children?how hard ly Ihcy may escape the perils of starvation j' and the dangers of disgrace ; tlic other has | no such harrowing thoughts to render still:? . darker the vale of death. Such, briefly, is r the comparative condition of the hireling ' . and the slave. Whilst the slave's condition j . is ameliorated by the several advantages < . we have named, tho hireling can only boast. | his nominal friv/lnin fic nn ???? nil uunci IU lliCIU ! all ! , We wish every man in tlie North could 1 t read this little poem with an unprejudiced . mind. It would at least assist in coming t Ion knowledge of the two great truths, i, which, if universally acknowledged, would 1 forover settle the question which has /or , years threatened the continuance of this : ? glorious Unionfof States?that some form or , other nf MrvitndA nlir?T?? ?-' ' ? ^ Ml >f w Mtw OIIU illlol cx' i 3 isl; and that the system of African slavery a is the best form,/or the servant, that has e ever yet existed. ?

I make tliis inquiry of you, so that those having knowledge in tlie premises may answer through the same channel. The information sought is very desirable?not only for the immediate stockholders, but for tho interested public at huge. I make it, also, that those disposed to throw rold water upon the enterprise, may bo estopped from that sort of woik, by seeiny how the mnMor st:itul? . ?n?l by seeing also that those having it in hand ure in good earnest, and mean nothing else limn to carry it through in due lime. lias anything, favorable or unfavorable, Inrned up yet in Augusta,since the meeting >f tlio stockholders at Calhoun's Mills? It is time that something had been done by that city, one way or the other. If those living on the route were to doul/le, it could jc carried through bv Hamburg, independjntly of Augusta. Would it not be well :o learn this truth in time ? I hit have sufficient cftbrls been made in the districts of \iuU-rson, Abbeville and Edgefield to gel stock ? Many nil over those districts?iiol >nly tliose living immediately on the track, >nl in those sections most remote from it, vould, 110 doubt, subscribe, ami subscribe iborally, if properly approached ; because he enterprise in contemplation is calcnlaed to confer vast benefits npon those enire districts as well as the whole State, so bat every one is interested, and, when nadcto believe and see this, will exert them elves accordingly towards its 'completion. Tlio way to build railroads, taking the 'xpcrieiice of the past as a guide, is to keep lie advantages they are calculated to creite and diffuse, constantly before the peo>le ; and, further, to cause every one, rich md poor, to feci that he?that they?that '11 must give something, must f/iec liber Ihj. One of (he yrenlesl tiro whacks to he advance of civilization ever known, is he inilisjiasition of the wealthy to contrib tic of litrir substance to the promotion of 'rent public enterprises ; and this is the noic remarkable, because it proceeds upon the j)cnmj wise and pound foolish" priniple. I think it susceptible of demonstraion, so far as things moral may be said to >e demonstrable, that the real estate within en miles of any railway, leading to the hicf market, is increased in value from en to fifty percent, immediately upon its oust ruction, and tli.it the advantages to iccrue in .-ill otlier respects peculiar to an gi (cultural people are made thereby to idvaucc in tlio same ratio ; so that the ubseription of this much stock by thoso iviiig within this distance of the road, is lot a prolanlo subtraction trom their means, iut, on the contrary, a j>ru rtiUt addition hereto, and this independently of the reaoliable expectations to be predicated upon lie increase of the stock itself. bet all, therefore, living within that disance of the magnificent enterprise in contemtlation, be moved by such considerations, ind act accordingly, and we will soon have lie road.

Reliable intelligence from Kansas of the 20th states that Lecoinpton had not been aken or attacked by Lane ; that the Free state men had fortified themselves near Lcjompton in caso a retreat should be necessary. A call had been published, signed jy influential citizens, for a meeting to consider the affairs of Kansas. On Monday 400 volunteers from Jackson county, Missouri, went into Kansas, and I i* * ' arge lorces wcro Doing raised everywhere, lloltinson and Brown were still in custody. [Jen.

The Southerners were overpowered, and compelled to withdraw. Chicago, August 19.?It is ascertained that the Pro-Slavery men in Kansas are concentrating men and arms for a general attack on tho Freesoilers. Twelve block houses have been built at different points, which are garrisoned by Missourians, and are well supplied with arms. A meeting at Kansas city resolved to send 2,000 men into the Territory, and great excitement prevails along the frontier. A general muster of Missourians is demanded. The attack on Franklin was to capture arms collected there, and tho Freesoilers captured one block house, containing 50 stand ot arms and a camion. Sr. Louis, August 22.?A letter to the Republican from Kansas says that (Severnor Shannon ami nearly all tlio citizens had left Leeompton, am] that Secretary Woodson and Sherill" Jones had been captured by the Freesoilers. Preparations were everywhere making for war. A steamer had arrived with three companies of volunteers read}' for the field. Three companies ol cavalry and one of artillery intended leaving Leavenworth City.

A woman was brought up and arraigned before her own brother, who was on the bench, oti the charge of keeping a house of prostitution. The brother sat motionless and pale as marble. but stern and inflexible as the Roman father who passed (he sentence of death on his own son.
