as these ! In what di-ree of latitude j

of its being too hot in the South for white

WIIAT SOUTnF-RN MEN EXPECT.
"Southern men expect to get talent
without paying for it." This is a quota
tion from a speech niado at the Savannah
Southern Convention. A very natural
expectation, considering that they bavo
been accustomed to have all their material
wants supplied by the uncompensated toil
of their slaves. In this instance it may
seem an absurd one, but it results lcgiti-
. 1 c . 1 . .rot
matcly from the system of Slavery.
WANT Or rOLITICAL FREEDOM.
' Pending the last Presidential election,
there were thousands, nay, tens of thou
sands of voters in the Slavs States, who
desired to give their suffrages for the lu
pu,iican nominee , John C. Fremont, hitn
B.tf . Sonthrnr. but a non-slaveholder.
TUe Constitution of tho United States
guaranteed to these men an expression of
their prelercnco at tne ballot-Dox. nut
were they permitted such an expression 1
Not at all. They were denounced, threat
ened, overawed, by the Slave Power and
it is not too much to say that there was
really no Constitutional election that is,
no such free expression of political prefer
ences as the Constitution aims to secure
in a majority of the Slavo States.

sugar is well dissolved, by rolling ovcr or

all together before putting into the ea.-k.
Fermentation will begin in two or three
days, the bung being ct upon the hole,
and will contiuuc some two orthrec weeks.
After it has entirely ceased fermenting,
rack off carefully, then thoroughly clean
out the barrel, return the wine to thecak,
