D EUIOCIiAC Y Asl> BLAVKRY.-«No- 3.
la two former artiolcs on this subject WG have
bbowQ that lb© Democratic policy of acquiring
territory nu l population baa given to the free
Slates a vast preponderance iu tbe American
confederacy. It b&s aided in mahiog tbe white
population of the North double that of tbe South
already; and it baa acquired territory that will,
probably in twenty or thirty years, make tbe
number of free Stated nearly double that of tbe
slave Stales.
We havo shown, 100, that the Democratic
pirty has established firmly the doctrine that
slavery is a local institution, entitled to no oar©
and support of the federal government. It has
constantly aimed to sever the general govern
ment irom all connection with slavery. This
was certainly not a pro slavery aim. It is quite
tae reverse. We have shown, too, that the poli
cy and measures of the party have never extend*
ed slavery over ouo foot of territory that was
free before their annexation or purchase; and
that the Fugitive S.ave Law was a measure of &
Wktg administration. So far, then, it is clear
that the tendency of democratic policy has not
been pro-elavery; but, on the contrary, its re
sults have been ontiroly of an opposite nature.
Wo proceed now to add other proofs, drawn from
the history of the country, which equally uvinoe
that the dcmooracy, as a party, has never been
pro-elavery . has never yielded unduly to south
ern influence, or favored tbe south more than
tbo north.
The democratic party has had the control of
the general government nearly all the time for
half a oontury, and during that timo the whole
country has grown and prospered as no other
nation ever did before or elsewhere. And in
that timo Iho north haß outstripped tho south in
the elements of material wealth, growth and
prosperity. And let us see what the govern
ment has done to promote tho success of north
ern interests.
Oue aim of democratic policy has ever been to
foster and encourage the shipping interost ; to
secure favorablo oommereial treaties with all
nations; and to extend in every direction the
commerce of the oountry. Seven or eight suoh
treaties, highly favorable to our oommeroe, have
beeu ooncluded since the inooming of the present
administration. It is well known that four-fifthß
of the shipping and of tbe commerco of the
country belongs to the north ; and no interests
have been moro zoalously encouraged and pro
tected than these. Light houses are boilt and
supported at government expense for the safety
and protection of commerce ; and there are pro
bably three times as many light houses, inolod
ing those on the lake ooasts and seaboard, north
of Mason and Dixon’s lino &b there are Bouth of
it on the whole vast extent of the Atlantio and
Uulf ooast. Our entire fleet of armed vessels is
kept afloat at an expense of millions a year to
proteot that commerco all over tho world. About
two million dollars per annum is paid by the
general government to northern steamship com
panies to aid them in their enterprises. Buoh
has been the enoouragement, aid and protection
of our democratic government to commerco and
•hipping, and four-fifths of it belongs to the
northern States.
Another groat intorcst of the Country is the
sea-fisheries. In them are invested millions and
tens of millions of dollars. They have been en
oonraged by bounties, protected by armed ves
sels, and have beeD the subject of oonstant ne
gotiations with England, and inoreased privile
ges in English water? have been repeatedly ob
tained by pnrohases and oonoessions. The most
importaafajlf these additional privileges were
the reciprocity treaty-of last year.
Tnesn flshorios belong entirely to the north,
and they were almost doubled in value by that
treaty Bat we shall speak of that treaty again,
end show that it was of great value to the north-
esßtorn States, wtiilo productive of some injury j
to the Bouth
The manufactures of the country belong al- I
moot entirely to the north ; and, against the
ooDßtant protest of the Sonth, they have been
proteoted and encouraged by tariffs so high as
to raise revenue enough for the whole support
of the government,and'of late far more than
enough. To such an extent has this northern
interest been protected that it has been a con
stant subjeot of complaint and disoontent on
part of the people of the south. They say it
has enriched the north at the expense of all
other classes and all other seotions of the conn
try. The vory tariff that now produoos about
seventy million dollars a yoar is a Demooratio
measure—tho Demooratio tariff of 1846. It is
a tax of seventy millions a year on all con
sumers of imported goods, both north and
south, for tho bonefft mainly of northern manu
factures.
Last year the reciprocity treaty was oonoluded
whioh makes oommeroe nearly free from duties
between the British Amorican provinces and the
States; and New England and New York got
nearly oil the benefits. It doubles tho value of
their fisheries, and enables them to get cheaper
and more abundant supplies of provisions, and
that, too, in part at the expense of southern and
westorn producers of food. With the vast ad
vantages of that treaty In view, tho Yankees
least of all have cause to complain of the polioy
of tho present administration. They havo re
ceived from it a boon more valuable than any
acoorded to the south for a quarter of a oentury.
Like voraoious gormandizers, honover, tho op
ponents of the Democracy in the north gulph
down without thanks tho “fat takes,” as they
oomo from tho parental government; and then
oursc the Demooraoy-when the south gets a
nibble.
Wore donations of publio lands have boon
made by the general government to aid in tho
construction of railroads and oanals in Illinois,
Wisoonsin and Michigan than to all tie other
States both north and south put together. The
railroada of Illinois are fast bringing that Btnte
to the front rank among the Statos of tho Union.
Lt is said that tho lands given by tho genoral
government to aid in their construction will soil
for an aggregato of twenty-seven millions dol
lars. Many of the southern Statos have nevor
received one dollar from the general govern
ment to aid in building railroads.
A good deal more than half of all the appro
priations made by the government for the im
provement of rivers and harbors baa been given
to the nflrth, and to improvements in wbioh the
northern States were directly interested. Not
one fourth as much has Icon given to improve
the harbors of the Gulf of Mexioo as to the
ooaste and harbors of the northern lakes. The
fortifications and defenoes of the harbors of New
York and Boston have coet as maoh as all the
other fortifications of tho Atlantic ooast
Now, if the Democratic party, almost con
stantly in power, is pro-slavery, and its control
ling spirit and its sympathies Southern, whence
oomo these continual and tobstantial tokons of
tho fostering and liberal oare of the federal gov
ernment for northern interests? Interests, too,
that havo been protected against tho constant
protest, and in patt at tho expense of the south.
We do not say that the north has got too
much; or that tho government and the Demo
cratic party havo undoly favored the north. The
sooth has not been wronged, and should not be.
The southern people have equal rights and in
terests with tho northern. They bore their
Bhare in the battles of the Revolution, and of the
subsequent wars. la the days of tho Revolution
it is well known that the contest with the mother
ooantry commenced at the north. The south !
was not then equally complaining of burdens
that made northern men resolve to be free. But
tho people of tho south resolved to stand by
their northern brethren in the conflict. And it
is a known fact that England offered to the
southern provinces separato and favorable terms
of peace If they would abandon tho north. The
offer was rejected with soorn; and they gallant
ly and generooßly resolved to share a Common
fate with their northern brethren. In Lhe last
war with England it was southern men that
fought and won the glorious battlo of New Or
leans. And in the Mexican war, what regiment
was it that suffered most, and lost most of its
men, in the battles beforo the capital of that
country? It was tho Palmetto regiment from
Souti Carolina. Ono-half that regiment lies
buried la tho valley of Mexico. And, remember,
not one foot of the territory aoquired by that
war has been devoted to slavery, or ever will bo.
Yet suoh are the people that it has now be
come fashionable at tho north to abuse and vil
lify; to brand with every opprobrious epithet;
and to goad and insult till they are driven to
seoession, and then tooonquor and subjugate by
force, as some of tho abolitionists propose. Such
are the people every northern man is invoked to
hate and abhor. And if a groat and predomi
nant political party resolves to do them equal
jastice, and to treat thorn as brothron and
friends, it is to bo branded with the lying
obargo of being pro-slavery ! Such injustice
oaonot prevail, nor suoh falsehoods obtain be
ef-
But let ua look at the present distribution of
the important offices of the federal government,
nnder the presont Democratic administration.
The President is from the north. The Vice
President is from tho north. It is Mr. Bright,
of lodiana, who is Vioe President, by virtue of
his offioo as presidont of tho Senate. The Sec
retary of State, the Secretary of the Interior,
the Postmaster General, the Attorney General,
tbe Commissioner of the Lind Offioe, and Iho
Commissioner of Patents, ore all from tho north.
Four of the five most important missions to
foreign oourts are held by northern men ; to wit:
to England, Russia, Spain and China. Tho most
valnablo oonsulato —that at Liverpool—is bold
by a northern man. The Governors of the Ter
ritories of Minnesota, t-ansas, Utah, Oregon and
Washington are northern men. Two ont of tho
three judges of the Court of Claimß aro from the
free States. We might pursue thifl inquiry
through tho less important offioes with a similar
rosult. Duos this distribution of offioes look
like a disposition on the part of the Democratic
parly fo yield to southern inflnonoe, and give to
tho south an undue oontrol? A pro-slavery
party would make a different distribution.
Taking population as the basis of olaims to
offioe the free States would be entitled to the
most, and it seems they have the majority of the
federal offices. But we must reservo other facts
for future use.
At it Again.—A olergyman being requested
to give notioe from the pulpit of a woman’s
rights lecture, announood that “ at half-past six
o'clook, at the sohool-house in the first district,
a hen will atUmpt to crow." Spoaking of hens
invading the “reserved rights” of roosters, re
minds us of the foot thnt President Lnoy Stone
(Blackwell) has given notioe that a Woman's
Rights Convention will be held at the Meionaon
Hall, in Boston, on Wednesday next, September
19th, commencing at 10 A. M. —-the first session
being free to all—and that Ralph Waldo Emer
son, Lnoretia Mott, Lnoy Stone, Antoinette L
Brown, Wendell Phillips, and many other emi

The Wheat Crop.
Cist's Advertiser, Cincinnati, estimates the
wheat crop of this year in the United States at
one hundred and eighty-five miUion* ofbtuheli!
Of this mountain of breodstuffs Ohio yields
forty, Pennsylvania eighteen, Virginia thirteen,
New York fifteen, Illinois twenty, lodiana fif
teen, Miohigan nine, Wisconsin eleven millions
of bosbels each.
These “ estimates,” for the most part, are
the sheerest gammon. To show their absurdity,
we would merely aik by what rnleof arithmetic
Ohio can bo mado to raise more than doable the
qa&ntity of Pennsylvania, when the latter State
at tho taking of tbo very last census was fully
one million of bushels ahead? We verily be
liove that the Keystone State raised more wheat
than Ohio in the year joet dosed, for It Is well
known that the failnre of the wheat orop in the
two preceding seasons so disoonraged the Buok
eye farmers that not more than two-thirds the
nsnal quantity of land was sown with that
cereal. They turned their attention to grazing
and the r&isiog of Btook —much of the land in
Ohio being peculiarly fitted for snob purposes.
Tho lands of Pennsylvania farmers, on the con
trary, not being so fitted, are still sown with
wheat —therefore it is that we conclude oar own
Commonwealth is not behind any of her sisters
in whest growing.
MRS. DCPFIBLD,
This lady, who we are pleased to Bee has been
re engaged at our theatro, possesses mooh his
trionic genius. It is not of that oharaoter which
creates, momentarily, a blaze of enthnsiastio
admiration, but is of the onlmor, gentler sort,
whloh wins gradually upon tho sonl, and com
mands a permanent rogard. Tho first Is evanes
oent, like tho flash of lightning; the latter is
enduring, stable, reliable, like the stoady light
of the moou.
Mrs. Daffield has won many admirers in our
city, and those who know her as Miss Womyss
are not disposod to abato their admiration of
Mrs. DuffieUl Her Parthenia was a flao spoci*
mou of thu womanly, elevated by that master
power of hor sox—lovo. Hor Lady Maobeth
was a terrible impersonation of the woman sank
la tho passions that belong not to her sex. Id

forte. Nature oflpacitated her for genteel oonr
ody. We hopo our appreciative patrons of the
drama will soo to it that this talented lady shall
have a good opinion of our oity in rospect of
theatrical patronage.
Negroes and the Refublioam Party —lf
any one wants to soo what the so-oalled Repub
lican party are after, let them read tho following
article from the jreat organ of that lem, advo
cating the claims of Frod Douglass, a negro, for
a seat in Congress:
“Among the candidates pat up by the Con
vention of the Liberal party at Utica; on Wed
nesday, is Mr. Frederick Donglosß, of Monroe
ooanty, who is nominated for the office of Secre
tary of State. With respoot to ability, a better
nomination oould hardly bo desired, bat yet we
oonfess that we should regrot to see Mr. Doug
lass elected. His proper plooe is not as a mem
ber of the State Administration at Albany, bat
as a member of Congress at Washington. For
tho former office he possesses no qualifications
that might not be found In other gentlemen,
while for the duties of a Representative at Wash
ington, he Is particularly gifted As an orator
and debater, he possesses both the foroo and the
grace proper to a Virginia gentleman of tho old
school, and of one of tho first families, to whloh
a depth of conviction and a resolution of pur
pose worthy the best days of tho Repnbllo add
a persaasive and magnetic charm not often felt
in the Federal Capitol. V(6 trust, theo, that the
friends of Mr. Douglass will not persist in nrgiog
his election to the office for wbioh he is now
nominated, but will make every preparation to
return him to Congress on tho very first vacancy
iu the Monroe district.”
People of Ohio, if you want to havo negro
candidates for your highest offioes you have only
to elect Salmon V Chaao, to seouro that object.
His triumph will encourage tbo blaok republi
cans, and you can soo from tho abovo paragraph
to what lengths t >ey would go had they the
power.

Sou Timothy Seed.
The right time to sow Timothy seed has arri
ved For several years 1 have sown myt Timothy
the forepart of September, always with good
buocoss. It may be sown with winter wheat or
rye after tho land is prepared, and immediately
before drilling, if a drill is used, or before tbe
last dragging if the seed is pat in with a drag.
Timothy seed is bettor with a slight covering;
a light drag or a bush does well, or the move
ment of tho oarth by a drill ia quite sufficient.
With this, as with all other seeds, the main
point is to have tho land in a good state of
cultivation. Plow doop, make the soil mel
low, and if wet, ditch it, and then, if the land
is not too poor, It will give you a oroy of Timo
thy most likely—provided always that you sow
the seed.
For bay or pasturage wo oau scarcely do bet
ter than to raise Timothy. It stands the winter
much better than clover. It is a great Tolly to
sow clover whore there iB a certainty that the
roots will be found on the top of the ground
the following spring. Leaves or straw would
make a cheaper top-dressing.
Put on the seed liberally; six quarts or a pook
is not too muoh. It is a poor ooonomy, for the
want of one-fourth or one half yonrland fortwo
or three years, while you are waiting for the
grass to spread and oover it. When tho grass
does oover it, it will probably bo June grass,
or blue grass, or some other hardy varioty, which
tho Creator in bis great meroy has sent for the
especial benefit of shiftless men, who either don’t
sow seed, or sow it 1q suoh questionable shapes
that it won’t grow.
Grass orops ooßt us so tittle that we do not
sufficiently appreciate them. One of two things
wo most do—“ seed down,” or nse a great deal
of manure or other fertilizers. When hay Is
from oight to twenty dollars per ton, we need
not be adverse to the former alternative. The
forepart of September is safest, bat Timothy
will generally snooeed in time in this month.—

Another Mordbrodh Apprat at the Bt.
Nicholas —The St. Nicholas Hotel on Saturday
evening was again the soeno of anothor stab
bing affray botween two of its boarders, one of
whom it is feared will not survive his injury.
Much excitement prevailed throughout the
house, as both parties are well known and pos*
sees an extensive oirole of acquaintances. The
names of the parties in this xnelanoboly affair
are Captain Wright, formerly of the steamship
Jewess, and a Mr. B. 8. Dean, of Baltimore.
Some difficulty of long standing existed between
them, and Captain Wright last evening, in the
barroom, attempted to chastise Mr. Dean with
a oowhide. A ooufliot immediately ensued, and
before a separation could take plaoe, Mr. Dean
bad drawn a dirk knife and inflioted two wotrads
of a fatal oharaoter in the body of bis antago
nist—one under the ribs on the left side, and
the other in the upper portion of the stomaoh.
Mr. Dean, in the exoitement, inflicted a wound
upon his own person, but not of a dangerous
character.
Bhobt Lectubhb to Yodkq Lames.—Have a
good piano or none. Be sure to have endread
ful cold when requested to “ favor the compa
ny.” Cry at a wedding. Soream at a spider.
Never leave your papers in the drawing-room.
Drop your handkeiohief when you are going to
faint. Mind you are engaged if you don’t like
your partner. Abjure ringlets on a wet day.
It’s vulgar to know what there is for dinner.
Nuts are bad if you are going to sing. Never
see a black coat as long as there is a red one,
and always give the preference to the elder
brother. Get married at Bt. George’s, if you
can—at all events get married.—

THE MURDERER.
A little more than fifty years ago, a man by
the name oi Henry Thomps n called at a house
of Mr. J. Smith, a resident in axetired part of
England, and requested a night’s lodglpg-
This request was granted, and stranger,
having, token some refreshments, infixed early
to bed, requesting that he might bo awakened
at an early hour the following morning.
Whon ' the flervant appointed to oaU him en
tered tho roo&for that" purpose, he was found
in his bed! perfectly dead.
On examining his body no marks of violence
appeared, bat his ooanten&noe looked ex
tremely natural. The story of his death soon
spread among the neighbors, and inquiries
were made as to who he was and by what
means he came tc his death.
Nothing certain, however, was known. He
had arrived on horsebaok, and was seen pass-
ing through a neighboring village about an
hour before he reached the houao where he
had oome to his end. And then, as to tho
manner of his death, so little could bo discov
ered that the jury which was summoned to in
vestigate the cause, returned o vordiot that he
died 11 by a visitation from God.” When this
was done, the stranger was burlod.
Days and weeks passed on, but little further
was known. The public mini, howevor, was
not at rest. Suspicions existed tbot foul means
had hastened the stranger’s death. Whispers
to th t effect was expressed, and In tho hearts
of many, Smith was considered as the guilty
man.
The former oharaoter of Smith had not boon
good. He had lived a loose and irregular life,
involved himself in debt by his extravagance,
and at length being sus/ooted of having ob
tained money wrongfully, he suddenly fled from
the town. , ,
Moro than ten years, bowover, had now
elapsed slnoe his return, during whloh ho hod
lived at his present rosldonoo apparently In
good oiroamstanoee, ond with on itnprovod char
acter. His former life, however, was now remem
bered, and suspicion, after all, was fastonod upt n
him.
At the expiration of tiro months, 0 gentle
man one day stopped In tho place for tho pur
pose of making inquiries respecting tho stron
ger who had been found In his bed. Ho sup
posed himself to bo tbo brother of tho mnn.
Tho horse and olothes of tho unfortunate man
still remained, and wero Immodlatoly known
as having belonged to his brothor. Tho
body, also, was taken up, and though oon
slderably ohangeJ, bore a strong roeombianco to
him.
He now felt authorised to ascertain, If possi
ble, the maoner of his death. He proceodod,
theroforo, to investigate the oironmstanooo as
well as he was able. At length, ho mado known
to the magistrate of the dietriot the information
he had oolleoted, and upon the strength of this,
Smith was taken to the jail to be tr;od for the
wilful mnrder of Henry Thompson.
The celebrated Lord Mans&eld was then on the
t-enoh. Ho oharged the grand jury to be oau-
tlous as to hading n bill ngainst the prisoner.
The evidonoo of hit guilt, If guilty, might bo
■mail. At a future timo It might be greater.
More information might be obtained. Should
tbo jury now Bnd a bill against him, and should
ho bo acquitted, ho ooold not be molested again,
wbatover testimony should rise op against him.
The grand jury, however, did hod a bill, but by
a majority of ooly one
At length tho time of trial arrived. Smith
was brought Into court, and placed at the bar.
A great orowd thronged the room, eager aod
anxious to seo the prisoner, at*d to bear the trial.
He bimsclf appeared firm and collected. Noth
ing In his manner or appearance indicated guilt;
aod whoa the question was put to him by the
oiork, " Are you guilty or not guilty ?" be an
swered with an unfaltering tonguo, and with a
ooantenaueo perfeotly unchanged, “Not guilty."
Tho counsel for the proseoutloo now opened
tho code. But it was apparent that he had little
expectation of boiog able to prove the prisoner
guilty. He stated to the jary that the o&se was
Involved la great mystery. The prisoner was a
man of respectability and of property. The de
ceased was sapposed to have about him gold aud
jewels to a largo emount; but the prieooer was
not so maoh 1 1 wont of funds as to be under a
strong temptation to oommit murder And, be
sides if the prisoner had obtained tbe property
be had effectually concealed it. Not a trace of
it oould be found.
Why, then, was the prisoner suspected ? He
woulJ state the grounds of suspicion. Tbe do
oeased, Henry Thompson was a jowelcr, residing
in London, and a man of wealth. Ho had left
LoodoQ for tbe purpose of meetiog a trader at
Hull, of whom be expeotod to make a largo pur
ohase. Tbe trader ho did meet; aod after tho
departure of tho lattor, Mr. Thompson was
known to have in his possession jewols and gold
to a large amount
With theeo in his posesssion, he left Flail on
his return to London. It was not known that he
stopped until ho reached Smith's, and the next
morning was discovered dead in his bed. Ho
died, then, In Smith's house, and if it oould be
shown that booamo to his death in an unnatural
way. H would increase the suspicion that tho
prisoner was in some way connected with tho
| murder.
How then, continued the counsel, it will be
proved beyond the possibility of doubt, that the
deceased died by poison. What was that poison?
It was a recent disoovery of somo German ohem
ists said to be produced from distilling the seed
of tho wild cherry troo. It was a poison more
powerful than any other known, and doprived of
life so immediately as to leavo co morka of suf
fering, and no contortions of the features.
But, then, the question when, by whom was it !
administered ! One circumstance, a small one,
indeed, and yet upon it might hang a horrid (ale,
was, that toe stopper of a small bottle of a vory
singular description bad been found in tho pris
oner’s honse. The stopper had been examined,
and said by medical men to have beloogbd to a
German vial, containing tho kind of poisoo
which he described. But, then, was that poison
administered by Bmltb, or at his instigation?
Who were the prisoner’s family ? It consisted
only of himself, a housekeeper, and one man
servant. Tbe man-servant slept in an out-bouse
adjoining the stable, and did so on the night of
Thompson’s death* The prisoner slept in one
the honse, tho housekeeper at tho other,
ana the deceased had boon put In the room ad
joining tbe housekeeper’s.
It would be proved, that about three hours af
ter midnight, on the night of Thompson's death,
a light had been soon moving about the house,
and that a figure bolding tho light was seen to
go from tho room In whioh the prisoner slept to
the housekeeper's room 1 the light now disap
peared for a minute, when two persons were
seen, bat whether they went Into Thompson’s
room the witness could not swear; bat shortly
after they were observed to pass quite through
the ontry to Smith’s room, into whioh they en
tered, and in aboat five minutes the light was
extinguished.
The witness would further state that aftor the
person had returned with tho light Into Smith's
room, and before It was extinguished, he had
iwioe poroeivod some dark objeot to intervene
between tho light and the window, almost as
Urge as the surface of the window itself, and
whioh he described by saying it appeared as if a
door hod been placed before the light. Now in
Smith’s room, there was nothing whioh oould ao
oonnt for this appearance, and there was neither
oapboard nor press in the room, whioh but for
the bed was entirely empty, the room in whioh
ho dressed being a distance beyond it.
The oounsol for the prosooution here con
oladod what ho hod to soy. Daring hie addrees,
Smith in no vrioo oppoored to bo agitated or
distressed, and equally unmoved woo ho while
the witnesses testified In substance what the
opening speech of the oonneel led the eourt and
tho j ary to eipeot.
Lord Mansfield now addressed the jury, lie
said: that in his opinion the evidence was not
anffiolont to oondemn the prisoner, and if the
jury agreed with him In opinion, he would diß
oharge him. Without leaving their seats, tho
lory agreed that the evldenoe was not sufficient.
At this moment, when they were about to
render a venliot of aoqnittal, th.o prisoner rose
ahd addressed the oourt He said he had been
aooneed of a foul orlme, and the jnry had said
that there was not sufficient eridenoo againet
him ? Was he to go out of oourt with suspicions
resting upon him, lifter all?
This he was unwilling to do. He waß aB .
nooent man, and if the judge would grant him
the opportunity ho would prove it. He would
oall the housekeeper, who would oonfirm a state
ment whioh he would now make.
