Vermont and Virginia.
110.. Whenever we draw a parallel be
tween Northern and Southern production
industry, thrift, wealth,. the few who feel;
to parry the facts et all, complain that the
instances are unfairly selected—that the
commercial ascendancy of the North, with
the profits and facilities thence seeming,
accounts for the'striking preponderance of
the North.. In vain we insist that Slavery
' is the cause of this teary commercial ascen
fleecy—that 'Norfolk and Richmond and
' Charleston might have been is this coon
try .what Boston, New York and Philadel.
phia now ate, had not Sl aver y spread it.,
pall over end paralized the energies of the
South. We, propose, therefore, t. 3 draw a
parallel—or, rather, to cite one which we
find, already drawn in a Thanksgiving ser
mon by the Rev. Samuel Day of Bellows
Falls,' Vermont—botween Virginia and
Vermont—the oldess,ati largest of the
Slave States and ono of the youngest and
steeliest of the Eastern Free States. Sure
ly, no one can candidly urge that the basis
of this comparison is not us favorable as
can be to Slavery.
Virginia was the first English Colony
on this Continent, on a location carefully
selected ats4he most faVorable on the Con
tinent, which it probably was. In mild
ness of climate. fertility of soil, abendanee
and variety,of timber, profusion and value
of minerals, harbors, navigable rivers and
water-power, she has no superior on the
She has been two hundred and
fifty years settled ; with the Atlantic and
the glorious Chesapeake Bay washing her
eastern borders, and the beautiful Ohio on
the West ; her spacious territory proffering
the largest variety of natural resources.—
She was over the foremost Colony, and for ;
years the most populous mid wealthy State
of our Union. ILside her own chief eit- I
ies, . remarkably favored by nafure, the
Federal Metropolis is located within her
original lini is, and four of the first five
Presidents were chosen from among her
sons. She has rarely been without at
leant one voice in . the Cabinet, and the
Federal Treasury lths been fairly emptied
upon her Sims. But for the iufluenct• of
Slavery, Virginia would inevitably have,
been at this moment the most populous
and powerful of the States, with the most
varied industry and the amplest commerce,
her sails whitening every sea and her min
ends and manufactures finding markets in
every quarter of the globe.
Vermont, on the other hand, has nn
sea -coast, no port save ou Lake Champlain,
atul no navigable river; she first. began to
be settled'in 1723, ono hundred and six
teen years after the founding of Virginia,
and when the latter was already a power
ful and prosperous colony ; . ,sErs is barely
one sixth •so large as VirgitA; (rife bitter
having 61, 362 i.quare miles to Vermont's
10,212) ; she has of course lie external
' commerce and no considerable cities, her
industry and trade building up marts nut-
Bide of her borders exclusively ; she was
claimed in her infancy as the possession of
two rival Stares, and her people subjoe.ted
to harassing prosecutions and forays which
sadly retarded her growth ; her climate is
harsh and her soil rugged ; she is nearly in
one corner of the Union, almost out of the
Union, out the track of immigration ;
1 . oho has oftener been out of than in favor
at the Capitol, which is located hundreds'
of miles from her borders ; she never had
one of her citizens even • nominated (or'
•
President or Vico President ; never but'
,
once; and then for a brief period, had al
seat in the Cabinet ; and has . tint received
a fiftieth part the amount of Federal pat
ronage that has been lavished on Virginia.
Strike Slavery out of the caleulativa, and
Virginia should this day have at least
thrice the poptilation to. the square mile,
of Vermont. And yet Virginia had in
1850 but a fraction over twenty-three in.!
habitants to the ,square mile, while Ver.]
moot had considerably more than thirty ;!
though a very' large portion of Virginia's
native born people are to-day on her soil
only because they are so well watched and
guarded. that they can Mr/ no opportunity I
to ruu away.
The Census further shows that only a.
bout one in four hundred of Vermont's
male inhabitants over 15 years of age is
idle or out of employment; while the pro
portion in Virginia is about one in , three.
Vermont, though relatively, so young, with
far less than a fourth the4population of
Virginia, has invested more than half as
much as the latter ju places of religious
worship., - Vermont annually raises and
disburses more than half as much as Vir
ginia for the support of publics schools;
and while Virginia has 87,383 free inhabi-,
tants over 20 years of:age who can neither
read nor write; Vermont has but 616 na :
tive inhabitants in the like state of pitiable
ignorauce. Virginia has less than one
newspaper to every 20,000 inhabitants;
Vermont more thee' one to every 10.000.
And the difference between the intelli
gence, refinement and enterprise of the
mass of the Free White inhabitants of the
two States is but faintly indicated by these
statistics.
Can any
,one:thoughtfully scan, the
mounfaitis of evidencolike this of the
an
perior informatiou, morality, industry and
thrift ofFree over Slave ; Staten, and then
ask why'we resist the ExteUsiou and desire
the extinction of Slavery ? Can,any hon
estly accuse us in laboring to this end; of
hostility or ill.tvill to the South ? Who
can fail to see that Slivery :is the prods
menial cause of, the relative ignorance.'
poverty and inefficiency of the Staies which
cherish ? If those who feel this would
frankly stiy it, the chief cause of difference
between the North- and ihe South Would
soon pass away. 4

A THRILLING SCENE IN COURT
A few years pines, a man of high respect
ability was tried in England on a charge of
forging a will, in which it was discovered
he had indirect interest to a large amount.
Mr. Warren was the associate prosecuting
attorney, and the case was tried before
Lord Denman.
The prisoner being arraigned and the for
malities gono through with, the prosecutor,
placing his thumb over the seal, held up
the will and demanded of the prisoner if
be bad seen the testator sign thatinstrument,
to which be promptly answered, he had.
'And did you sign it at his request as
subscribing witnesses I'
did.'
'Was it sealed with red or black wax ?'
'With red wax.'
'Did you see him seal it with red wax ?'
'I did.
'Where was the testator when ho signed
and sealed this will ?'
'ln his-bed.'
'Pray how long a piece of wax did he
nee ?' .
'About three or four inches long.'
'Who gave the testator this piece of wax ?'
'I did.'
'Where did you get it?'
'From the drawer of his desk.'
'How did he light that piece of wax ?'
'With a candle."
'Where did that piece of candle come
from ?'
got it out of a cupboard to his room.'
'How long was that piece of candle
'Perhaps four or five inches long.'
'Who lit that piece of candle ?'
'I lit it.'
'With what ?'
'With . * match.'
*IV here did you get that match ?'
Here Warren . • paused, and fixing his
large, deep blue eyes upon the prisoner, ho
held the will up above his bead, his thumb
still resting upon the seal, and said in a so
lemn, measured tone :
',Now, sir, upon your solemn oath, you
sow the testator sign that will—he signed
it in his bed—at his ropiest you signed it,

An Elastic Story.
We have always heard that an omnibas
was a vehicle possessed of most wonderful
elasticity, and last evening we saw the state
ment proved. Going down Green street in
ono of Hathorne's omnibusaes, the coach
stopped to take in a very prety younK lady,
who rushed up out of the stitw—on to the
step—half way through the door—but alas,
there remained hard and fast. By the
pulite and ready assistance of a 'gentleman
of the press,' who ohm:cod to be inside. the
door was stretched a foot or two, the hoops
compressed a yard or so, and the lady en
tered in full feather and not a hair turned.
Turning to our reporterial friend, the lady
says : 'Thank you, air. but it seems to me
Mess doors are very narrow!' Boston

A Singular Cause of Pride.
•
In' a.metropolitan auction-room, on a cer
tain oemision, a little German Jew, who was
slowly and shrewdly making his bid, was
addressed by a near bystander , with—gthere
is a very disagreeable odor about here; what
can it be 'Yeas,' he replied;
_unhesitat !
'dat iah my veer.' 'Your feei then
why don't you retire from the room, and
not mingle with gentlemen? The odnr
froth your feet is very offensive.' '.Ah
responded the little Hebrew,. ' you 'sight
to smell 'em in a small niom in de summer
time !' Prile inane!' an accomplishment,
as Baron Pompojino would say, is a virtue
somewhat rare.
Gambling.
, Let every man avoid all sons of gamb- -
ling as be would poison.. A poor man or a
boy should not ullow himself even to toss
up for a half a penny, for this is often the
beginning of a habit of gambling; and this
ruinous crime eou!es on by slow degrees.—
Whilst the man ukminding his own work,
twit) playing the beat game and be is sure to
win. A gambler never makes good use of
his money, even if be should win.
-111rThe orthodox clergy sometimes bad
their eccentricities, and many. good *nee
dates are related of their leading ministers
of Connecticut in the good old times.
Once upon a time there was a clergyman
—th e Rev. Dr. T—, of B—, a men of
high character, and distinguished for his
dignity of manner. But it was remarked
that frequently as he was ascending the
pulpit stairs he would smile, and sometimes
almost titter, as if beset by an uncontrolla
ble desire to laugh. This excited remark,
and at last scandal. Finally, it was thought
necessary for some of his clerical friends,
at a meeting of the association, to bring up
the matter for.consideration.
The case was stated, the Rev. Dr. T—
being present. ' Well, gentlemen,' said he,
the fact charged against me is true, but I
beg you to permit me to offer an explana
tion. A few months after I was licensed to
preach, I was in a country town, and on a
Sabbath morning was about to enter upon
the services of the church. Back of the
pulpit was a window, which looked out upon
a field of clover, then in full bloom, for it
was Summer. As I rose to commence the
reading of the Scriptures, I east a glance
into the field, and there I saw a man per
forming the most extraordinary evolutions—
jumping, whirling, slopping in all directions,
and with a ferocious agony of exertion. At
first I thought ho was mad, but suddenlq
the truth burst upon me, he had buttoned
up a bumblebee in his pantaloons ! lam
constitutionally nervous, gentlemen, and
the shock of this scene upon my risible son
aibilitiaa was so great that I could hardly
get through the services. Several times
was upon the point of bursting into a laugh.
Even to this day the remembrance of this
scene, through the temptation of the devil,
often comes upon me as I am ascending the ,
pulpit. This, I admit, is a weakness, but I'
trust it will rather excite your sympathy
and your prayers than your reproaches.'
Pulpit Peculiarities.
A clergyman was once travelling on hoard
of a western steamer, when among the pas
sengers was a man who took great pains to
make known that ho was opposed to religion,
denouncing Christ as an impostor, and all
forms of religion as delusions. lle was a
man of ability and education, and a great
wit, and his remarks seemed to have quito
an influence upon his hearers: The clergy
man refrained from saying anything for a
time, but finally decided to silence him.—
Asking the sceptic if lie believed in the im
mortaliri of the soul, ha received as an
answer: . _ -
' No, I have none.'
g Do you believe in the existence of God?'
• No.'
Then sir,' replied the clergyman, ' I
hare heard of yon before.'
Heard of me ? Whore.'
' Yes-1 havo rend of yon.'
Read about me! I was not aware that
I Wag publi-hed. Pray where ?'
' In the Ps,.ltnn of David, sir, where it
•atio The fool-itatititahl-irt-'his--heart; there
is no God "
At this unlooked for turn in the argument,
there was one great laughter and hurra at
the expense of the atheist, who confounded,
and being unable to rally at being thus un
expectedly called a fool, moved away to
another part of the• boat.. During the re
mainder of the voyago the wiseacre was
silent On religions subjecta ; occasionally
some of the passengers would tease him by
slily observing, I have heard of you be
fore.'
The Love of Gold
"Gold is worshipped in all climates, with
out a single temple ; and by all classes,
; without a sicgle hypocrite."
So some one. we know not who, has
truthfully end pointedly said : "The love
of gni,l is the master passion, the motive
power, tZ:e main spring of multitudes, who
plan only to grasp it, who live only for its
accumulation. No enterprises are too per
ilous, no sacrifices too dear, in the hope of
%massing gold. It is gold. that tempts men
to ... tntr ta ue trut h an d 00k :donee, to practice
d u o,;ty and fraud, to violate sacred trusts,
lito.ratt ft; aids, trample upon irtiligion, defy
God, anti tu .:tke a covenant with death and
agreement Cith hell. Balsam dGes not

iu divers places, it IN hope of propitiating
the divine favor and ii./ 1 14 his coffers with
gold. The love of gold hi. .4 poisoned the
fountains of domestic bliss, pa Joarated chief
friends; nerved the robber's ar.u, and. &liar-
Pettecl , the assassin's knife. The hove of
gobd makes our bears and bulls, iu ths
stock market, inflates prices, causes roof
mercial patties, gets up visionary schemes,
and leads thousands to embark in - friutless
and ruinous speculation: Lover of gold,
mark ! Ho that basted: to be rich shall
fail into many foolish and hurtful snares,
and in the cud find tint gold is but a bub
ble, that bursts at the Jouob."'
Col. Benton on Dissipation.
A few evenings ago, Col. Benton deliver
ed a lecture in Boston, before the-Appren
: tices' Library Association. A letter to the
Now York Tribune says:
I He opened it by giving, in a kindly,
'characteristic style, some very good advice
to young men in general and apprentices in
particular. 'They saw before them, here
: marked, a person who had attained an age
past the limit which the Psalmist assigns to
the line of life, and now upon those years
which the same Psalmist associates with
sorrows and weakness. Thus far he was
'exempt from those infirmities which are
supposed to belong to it. Ho owed it to
the course of his early life. Franklin
(whom he warmly eulOgisted) was once nick
named the American Aquatic, because' be
drank nothing but water. In bet respect
be had imitated Franklin. He totally ab
stained for tbe first half of his life and was
temperate the other half. He had not.on•
ly totally abstained from spirituous liquors,
vinous liquors, fermentedliquore, and every
thing of the kind, tit be bad kept himself
free from every kineaf dissipation. (Ap.
please.) He knew no garne whatever; and
to this moment could not tell, whenlooking,
•
at a party playing cards, which was the lo
ser and /which the *inner. He had often
set up all night, watching the Bilk, on mil
itary duty, and a hook—a boob= had often
kept Lim awake ; but be ititd. never spent
one night of dissipation.
SOPA gentleman was °nee riding in
Scotland by a bleaching ground, where„
poor woman was at work watering her webs
of linen cloth. He asked her, where she
went to church, and what she heard on the
preceding day, and hew much sheipmem
bored.' She could , not even tell tlfriezt of
the sermon. "And what good can the
preaching do, you, (said he) if you forget
it." "Ab, air , (replied the woman) if you
look at this web on the grass, ypu will see
that as fast as ever I put this water on it
the inn driesit•all up ; and yet, air, I ace
it gots whiter and whiter." .

AND WMALLIK, Although we deplore the re
tilt of OM I.llllMit, it has served to &velure
two signiticant facts: first that wherever the
theory Republicanism, founded, as it is, on
broad and national grmnils, was made the
guiding and the only principle in issue—then
marked and certain success tiollowed —MS shown
ht New York, lowa, Wisconsin Michigan., and
the Eastern States. Second, wherever our lead

Know Nothing party —there overwhelming de

Asti wnEwits, It is needful, necessary, and
highly proper, for the purpose of united and
efficient action on the purt of the Republicans
.of this county, in coming political contests,
that there should he a thorough and prompt
Republican organization, discarding all side is

Br-roked, That we recommend the Presi•
dents of the different Republican Associations,
when organized, to form themselves into a

Business was suspended, excepting in the Toy
Shops, which were the favorite resorts of the
youngsters. The whiskey-mills smst havebeen
in pretty 'active operation all day,. judging
from the amount of "finished work" rolled oat
upon the streets. Drunken men and boys, in
unusual numbere, were to be found at all IMur s
upon the streets, saluting the ears of passers
by with obscene jests and horrid profanities.—
The outdoor amusements consisted mainly in
the edifying sports of turkey-racing and blind

TON MARRUALL, ON J . 0. BRECKENRIDGE
AND GARRET Davts.--The celebrated
...rem Marshall" . has been edifying the
Kentucky Supreme Court with one of his
happiest hits. It was in a case on which
the Vice President elect, Mr. Breckenridge,
and Garret Davis, of Ky., were oppositig
counsel. Mr. Marshall's . eliettes Son had
been flogged by a gentleman for trespass
sing upon his fish pond. Major Breck
inridge contended that the correction was a
wholesome and proper one, such ati he had
been subjected to in his juvenile days,
whe i p caught in any mischief. Trim mar•
shall, in reply, said that both gentleinac
had endeavored to magnify him into a
great man— Kentucky's greatest lawyer
and orator ; and both, in their political
speeches, were in the habit of exor easing
great confidence in the sagacity and intelli
gence oldie people. Now, he wished to
be informed how it was that, with such
great superiority of natural genius and ac
quirements. and with the additional advan
wee of years over at least one of his ad•
versaries, he remained plain Tom Marshall,
hammering a miserable existence out of a
few law suits at the bar ! while you."

misfortunes and di FDA WIN of my otherjis
tingoished friend are attributable to the
fact that, as his spanking was neglected in
boyliond, he has to make up for it by
receiving nothing butt political spanks ever
since he reached manhood." These pal-

the lawyers and judges, in which the t wit!

Dr. Tobias has warranted his Liniment for
eight years without ever having a demand for
the return of the money—all that it asked is to
use it according to the directions. No one will
erer be without it after once using it. If you
do not find it better than any thing 'you have
ever tried before, r 1 your money returned !
SS-Thousands of.certificates have been re
mired speaking of its virtues. Now-a•days it
is the practice to fill the papers with certifi

those who have never used the medicine—now
Dr. Tobias offers to pay 1000 dollars to any
one who will prove that ho ever published a
false certificate during the time he has had
his medicine bet:•we the publit.
