African Singing.
he many love songs, light airs, and
mournful ditties which are caught from the
semi-civilized African race in our country,
is full proof that they arc a musical peo
ple, in spite of their degradation and op
pression. And well is it, that when there
is so little of true comfort with him or in
prospect on earth, the African has still a
buoyant heart, and his mellow tongue and
nimble heel and impromptu fiddle afford
him pleasure wben nought else does. Ma
ny of onr most popular airs and words have
been borrowed from the negro quarters and
appropriated by the whites with as little
ceremony as any of the other products of
slave labor.
But my object in this article.is to notice
the religious use made of their talent for
singing, by those blacks who have been
converted to Christianity. We trust they
realize, with simple Li;h tho' somewhat
obscurely, their condition as immortal
beings, and have been brought to see
themselves siuners, and to find reconcilia
tion and pardon through the blood of the
uivine redeemer. As a devotional exer

The W?w Tork Election.
In regard to tho Nebraska matter, tho
testimony of the election is conclusive and
irresistible. Under all the disadvantages
of a multiplication of parties, the next
Congressional delegation is almost unani
mous in opposition to that measure. On
the morning after the election wo were at
a hotel tabic in Worcester, Mass., where
we met a friend who is a member of tbe
present Congress. "Is my friend John
Wheeler, reelected?" said he. "It was un
derstood that there was no hope for it,"
we replied. "It is too bad," he continued ;
"he sacrificed everything to bis conscience
and his duty, and he ought to be sustained."
I Cast off by Hards and Softs, who had each
1 a candidate, and with a Whig candidate
! besides against him, John Wheeler was,
j nevertheless, rechosen by a decisive vote
an anti-Xebraska demonstration which may
be set down as an indication of the real
feeling of the State on that subject Judge
Oliver's was a similar case.

Politicians arc fearing and courting it by
turns. It is the natural reaction from the
abuse of the process of naturalization, and
from the venal character of tbo organized
and distinctive Catholic vote. Ita dangers
are, the uSual corruptions of parties, and
the carrying of defence against tbe Catho

persecution. If it takes for its motto,
Equalities for All and Specialities for

of secret orders in republican politics. The

The old political parties have for years
been carrying within themselves the seeds
of their own dissolution. The opposing
principles of conservatism and radicalism
have been struggling in each for the mast
ery, and have waged an internecine strife.
Conservative Democracy could never effec
tually unite with Conservative Wbiggery
as such; nor Conservative Wbiggery tfitb
Conservative Democracy ; and yet both
might enter into a third organization and
work together most barmonioisly and suc
cessfully. Thna we have just seen in our
own State, Hard Democrats and Silver
Grey Whigs vieing in the support of a
candidate which distinctively belongs to

The Know Nothing orgxniiatiro, itself,
we do not look npoti as permanent. Its
secret character has doubtless contributed
greatly to its amazingly rapid devcVpe-
ment, but, having served this purpose, it
will hereafter prove an injury rather than
a benefit. Publicity is the law of Amcri-
can affairs, and every politic! agency which
means to operate powerfully upon those
allairs, must observe it. ltie organu;ition
must rid itself of its accresy of operation.
And if, as is said, it puts any srt of dis-
ability upon men for the mew possession

No such intolerance is admitiod, as we un -
