Abolition proceedings, not only ne-, ftblinc disease as ajustiticition forgoing
groes will crowd wiiite men out oi oiii-
ces. but thousands of the laborers of the
North will have the bread taken out
of the mouths of their families by ne
gro competition with them in work.
That is the tendency of things : to ex
alt the negro at the expense of the
white man.
A Union Party. The idea of a
"Union'' party, to be composed of
old republican fossils, is worse- than
ridiculous. Tho predominating ele
ment Abolition is disunion and tho
plunder clement cares only for spoils.
Fortunately for the country there is
now, as there always has been since
the organization of our Govcrment,
a (rue Union organzntion, the Demo
cratic parly. The Democrcy made
our country great, prosperous and
Jiavm and "it would have continued
so to this hour, hut for the spirit of
sectional Abolition.
Wf.iiin(1 Fk.f.s. The religious pa
pers occasionally get oil' a spicy item.
The reverend editor of ono of these
papers, in a recent issue, says: "In
our experience, we have- married peo
ple for 37 items ; we have married for
a counterfeit bill!" Dr. l'estian.in con-
ying this item adds: "Wo may soften
our Gorman friend's grievances by quo
ting the case of the minister who re
ceived as a wedding fee a salt codfish,
which, when he had taken it home for
his table, was chiefly oaten by tho
brido and groom, who called upon him
at dinner
8sjT"1'vc brought you this bill till I
am fairly nick and tired of it." said a
collector to a creditor, upon whom he
hud called at least forty times.
'You arc, eh?" coolly rejoined tho
creditor.
"Yes, I am," was tho response.
"Well, then you had better not pre
sent it again. There will bo two of us
ploasod if you do not; for, to tell the
truth, I'm sick and tired of seeing that
identical bill myself."

of pistols tiscl by Arnold in a duel in

contemptuous rem n k, "I leave you to

gave lienedh-t Arnold largo tracts of land

that tho land was entirely valueless, lie
was asoiied by the agents that much of
the soil was poor and swampy, scaiccly
cxceevling C- per acre in value. Put Mr.
A. was told by less interested parties thai
it was in the vicinity of Toronto, the pro

was -advised to wait further developments.

"'I hen wo are to c-timate emancipation
