by the higher authority of genius, of virtue, tern of thc government, the determination of
ot eloquence, and which never spoke but to j
penetratrt as with an electric flash, to the ut-
termost bounds ot the wide I n ion. is it not
so? When was there a day, that an Adams,
an Ames, a Quincy Adams, a Webster, an
Everett, a Choat. did not live to maintain b-
voice and pen, b3 cpiniou aud act, the due
poaderance of Massachusetts in the conduct
of public affairs of the United States? When
was there a da- that Massachusetts did not
f rm the exuberance of her political wealth,
furnish a King, a Marcy, or a Bancroft, to
be accepted and honored c
n here ia the
j Empire State (.f New York?
And vet, in I

the face ot all this, aud with some personal
.. . .. . i '
reminiscences ot my own to aid me to the
conclusion, that Massachusetts men are prone

Cabinet, I am to be told that the South dom
inates over tho North.
And New York, the Empire State of the
Uuion, what is her testimony iu this present
issue cf the alleged domination cf the South j
over the Noith? Were the Hamilton?;, the
Jayj, the Livingstons, the Burrs, and the '
Kings of the c irlier days of the Republic,
men without wills of their own? Were the :
Clintons, the Tompkins, the Van Burcns. the
Wrights end the Marcvs cf a later da? ;
Why, who does not know, what schoolboy of !
t lie first form is there so ignorant as nor. to '
have heard, not only that these men of New .
Yoik ruh-d in their time and turn, in the I
high places of the Uniou, and ruled by the
intellectual right divine stamped on their im- !
moital brows, aud ruled as ni-.n of the Noith, j
in their proper persons not only this, but j
that history is now prcoecupic-d with the
question, whether ther did not also in fact !
rule, when the titular places of power were
held by the South.
The South dominate over the North, with
New York in it, and holding, by her popula
tion, her wealth and her power, the hegemony
of the North! New York, who assumes in
the scroll of her arms t hat she is ever to be
uppermost, just as Charles of Spain inscribed
'Father yet' ou the piilurs of Hercules! Oh,
most absurd, most preposterous, most ridicu
lous of al! the foolish imaginations which ever
entered into the head of wayward men. WI13'
the South like the North, struggles and strug
gles in vain to escape from the authority,
and to shake off the ascendency of New
York.
But, some simple hearted person ma)' say,
is there nothing in this cry .ot" slave power?
Is it mere faction and falsehood from begin
ning to end? I think it is utterly destitute
of any foundation in fact, I h id long and
diiigentiy sought in the proper quarters, for
irs j retended foundation, and it is but recently
that I have discovcre-d it, iu a much applau-

for so many years, and has been the effica
cious instrument of the support and elevation
of the Union.
God forbid that this should be I The con

words, to form into political parties; and the
history of the country exhibits the memorable
fact that from that day to this, with brief aud
apparently but casual interruptions, one grand
party has controlled the administration of the

It has been thc fortune of that party to iu

The Elephant.
The elephant is the largest ordinal thct
now lives on thc earth. It sometimes grows
ro twenty feet in height. Its youug are play
ful, and do not reach their full siae until they
arc more than twenty years old. Jt is a na
tive of Asia and Africa, and from its tusks,
or large teeth, we get the ivory of which so
many beautiful things arc made
Elephants are often brought to Europe and
America in ships, and shown as curiosities.
With their trunks they convey food and water
to their mouths, and defend themselves when
attnr.kd Tbov pin ron.-h t, tbr dUiir, nf i
four or five feet, and are able to give with it
J - -- -- - s-w.
so severe a blow, as to kill a horse.
They are very gentie when kindly treated.
Hut they remember ir.jurus. and revenge
them In thoughtfulue-ss and wisdom, thej
r.pproach nearer the human rtieo than p.nj
other animal. You will find many stories of
their sagacity in books of natural histor3.
A lar"e elenhant was once broubt in a
j vessel to New York. From the wharf a
broad plank was placed for him to walk upon
to the shore. He put first one f ot upon it
striking it with force then another; then
third; then the fourth and last. When he
sir0nc enough to bear his whole weight, he
bad lUus tried it. and was sure tuat it was
walked boldly upon it to the shore.

It your

to return to the right way; for the path of

poor elephant fell.
