What terrible troubles might have been avoided had its eloquence and prophetic warnings been heeded t I= We havo read of two bitter foes meeting on a plat of,ground beiide a deep precipt. tone chasm. They engaged hand to baud, steel to steel, in the strife. One of them at length, feeling that his opponent was get ting the better of him, grappled in, and strove to i kaar his antagonist to the, ground. They stregled. they , wrestiod, they bent backwards and forwards, and swayed on either side. In the fierceness of the strife, they approached the edgy of the cliff. Sud denly one of them, by a mighty effort and Hinging his whole weight and strength to- , wards the brink, bore his foe onward„and in a deadly embrace, they both fell, crash mg, bloody, lifeless, down into the abyss below.

No ! taunt the not Southron with the black, plague-spot which he caught from Northern cupidity ; tree nim for hik mifftortunes ; pet him . his prejudices ; madden him by our pOwar ; twit him of his poverty, and Den sneeringly dare him to sevee the Union. Oh; it. is vastly fine, it is transcendently humane and. philanthropic, for us to talk and declaim about Slavery, to mount the car of liberty and ride in triumph over one half of these powerful, happy States. It is high and noble conduct after a series of gross at tacks and aggressive Movements, which have compelled the South to stand on the defen • sive, then to hold up our hands in pious hor ror at "the deep depravity of the South," and affect to Wonder men can be so wicked. Bow lovely, how becoming in us, after pit nig insult and indignity on the slaveholder, and arousing the fiery spirits of Abe fervid South almost to frenzy, to raise our hands and eyes to Heaven, and give thanks that we are not ass-othei-Men are, even as t hose slataliolders yonder.

Hedge him - ; aorrtiund him with a high wall ; chain him to S. reek ; laugh at his s . truggle s ; boast. orient own strength and tithes and then dare him to secede from the 'Union. Such seems to be the chosen course of some of our superfine - patriots and philan thropists of the North, if wo may judge by the gusto with which many journals fling all manner ()flaunts and opprobrious ! epithets at the ".slaveocracy" of the South. .!1-t ma not a labor of love, but line of bitter bate.-- Rea Son is thrown to . the winds ; kindneet and fraternal feeling has given place to a struggle of supremacy. .No sympathy is felt for their misfortune': no allowance made for their position no consideration for the inflrmittes of human nature ; ?jut with whip and spur they dash,on upon their Southem. brothers. This is all noble, hu mane, and high minded now. • But when they have goaded the South on vuey brink of desperation ; when as the legifilhate and inevitable results of their own mad career, they shall hear crashing around them the tumbling fragmenis of our own once :gloriofts and magnificent temple when our land 2E1411,0 fu) petty powers, rival States, and jealous Pr ipalities ; when 'revolutions, insurrectious a internal wars shall lay waste the land ; whemver.a.
