Of what there it of good in us they suppress all mention, - and of what there is of error or imperfection they make loud and triumphant bruit. To disparage our tastes, our habits, our manners as men, and our instilutions.our productions, our polirv. our principle as a nation, is with them a daily occupation, alabor of duty and of Jove. Ami not only with these, but with the gang of superficial "posters by sea and land," who come over to us, yea: in and year out and tramp, in regular relays, overourcountry, in search of materials out of which to make . their fortunes in Grub street At home, the same gentry make themse've conspicuous in iheir envy, hatred, malice, anduncha-ita bleness toward us and ours, by denouncing slavery as it exists in America a. a. great national sin. and as damning black every 7 ... it J- man, woman;, and child who live under the Government that tolerates it. They preach crusades against us in their pulpits, rouse pub lic indignation against us in Exeter Hal, and intuit uj in that Elvsium of all Nations, the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park ; while the small beer wits of ' Mister Punch" feebly echo the bark and the growl of The Times, in a voice something between a yelp and a snarl. In vain are these systematic revilers of a Government and of institutions of whose his tory, policy, and working they are by no means so ismorant as they pretend 10 be, poin ted out the fact that should keep them dumb, for very shame, that the only sin with which, as nation, they , upbraid us. was originally own on our soil by theirs by it cultivated, reared, matured, and made permanent, and that, for its advantage, profit, wealth, and glory ; that when, "by force of arms, we drove from our shores the other evils of finish domination, we found this enrse, as ourrevilers will have it, had by them been so radicated here that it could not be uprooted. The "model republic," the ' land of freedom," with Slavery a one of its institutions! screams George Thompson at Exeter Hall, sneers Douglas Jen-old in Punch, and ponderously thunders The Times, without adding 'he significant historical reminiscence that it was Uthe golden days of Britain's greatest glory and prosperity, to which she points back so proudly as her Augustan age, that thi very institution was established'as one of the most prolific sources of that boasted glory and prosperity. The adulterous Pharisees, who, self -condemned, slunk away under the rebuke nLet him that is without guilt among ye cast the first stone," evinced the retenlion of some sense of shame, in the midt of their hypocritical denunciations of one not viler than themsel ves. Out here weiave "the devil rebuking sin." indeed !

The neighborhood of The even Dials and 'he precinct of Church Lane now worse than wasted some objects for heir might furnish them with sympathy and with themes for their worse than hypocritical phil anthropy. uOur policemen, fVnys a recent trsvdler iu England, who had ihe curiosity lo explore some ot Ihe haunts of the splendid capital of Merrie Eng and,") led the way across the street, and briuhed the crowd away from a narrow passage. Ihe Entrance to which seemed like a pig sty, and was but wide enough for us. to advance in single file. The board flooring, sluiced and undermined by continual streams ot filth J plashed under our feet, and our noses were asa led with v-.tpors that teemed almost tangible to ihe touch. However, we grouped on, sustained in hardihood by a com mon example, though i lie loss of my handkerchief almoal made me a deserter. Far up :'n this foul al ley we came to a side dor which let us into an apartment some sixteen,, feet square, and about ten feet high. AH was dark when we eniered. but a lantern lit up a sipht such as I have never seen before, and uch a one as I pray Heaven I insy never see again. In that contracted lair laid thirty human beings, men, women and chi dren, yes, thiriy white christian!, of n clui.tian land, packed head and feet, in layers, like the black car go of a slave ship under cluse, ant) most" of them adults as well as infants, as naked as they were born. Some were families, some were man and wife, fome were single lodgers ai a penny a head. Some wore a few scanty patches, others were partly covered with sheets but many were thread less and indifferent to exposure. In the centreof j the comity of the apartment! rendered accessible j the room stood a large tubl or reservoir, whi h I. - ' . fU .

In the last place, the spokeswoman, in telling aver the numbers, poin ed out a young Irish lad of 18, and his sister, two years younger, who he said had come in from the country oui of work that day with but four pence between them but added that they were going away in the mor ning. These poor young creatures had been dri veti 10 this horrid lodging by the condition of their purse, but terrified and shocked at what they had seen, they laid clasped fast in each other's , arms, as if ihey fea red to lose each other lor a mo ment. The giri did noi open her eyes, but her guardian looked at us askant, without turning his head or changing his position. Their bright red cheeks laid together like two roses among a patch of brown and wilted weeds, and told, by their freshness, the story of their innocence much plain er than the language of the hag. 'Here is a pen- y for you, my boy, said I, leaning over, a liDpiBg a hsjf crown in his hand, 'to help you ind on your journey.' 'And here is one, too, for your sister, said a gentleman beside uie, vio saw my snovemenSand ppreciated my object in underrating the coin. The lad gripped the money in bis first, bat too occupied with his sacred earo even to thadk us, he threw his arms quickly ' about his sister's neck again,and in that position the pair re mained when we retired." These startling sketches, taken within 3 month by one of our countrymen, are, with all their horrors, but ordinary specimens of a class of disclosures which have been made tothe British Parliament, and have formed the Ibemes of more 4han one chapter of "Household words," at home.

From the "Richmond Whig" LOCOFOCO FAIRNESS, le effninteTa prtrbn oC.the Locofo co press of the $uth, irt alterfrp'ing to fir the stain of Freesoihsnr and abolitionism exclu sively upon the Whig party of the North, is only equalled by the folly which supposes that such assertions can obtain general belief. The game attempted io be played is to quote wnh strong indignation every expression of Whig sentiment un'riendly to the South, and lo laud to ti c skies, 'the action of any Demo cratic meeting which exhibits a more kindly spirit. These candid presses, nowever. are mos careful to overlook, as they certawiiy fail to notice, the reverse of the picture. By pursuing this cunning policy, it is hoped the impression will be extensively created that the Democrats of the North are the peculiar ad exclusive guardians of the slave interest whilst the Whigs cherish'towards it the bit terest hostility. Direct their attention to gross exhibitions of Locofoco hostility to the South, asexemplified ei herby the expressed opinions of their public men or by the re solves of their regular party Conventions, a -d they ingeniously extricate themselves from the difficulty by denying that ei her the man or the meeting has any connection with the true Democracy. If Southern Whigs would only pursue' the same ingenious system of tactics, it would be easy to demonstrate that the whig party of the North numbers in its rank-i not a single Abolitionist, this pernicious class of agitators being monopolized entirely by the "Simon Pures." It would only be necessary to give the cut to Seward and ful minate anathemas against Chase ; to quote approvingly f'om the New York Express, and to sp- ak in the strongest denunciatory terms of the Evening Post. A system of oic so fair, according io ethics of Locofoco ism, could easily prove black to be white, or whi'e black. Not long since we published and called attention to resolutions adopted by the Demo cratic State Convention of Veanont, in which opposition to the Fugitive law was the prom inent feature. Hostility tothe Whigpaity was mainly urged on the ground of its "Jitjeity to slavery, ike maintenance of its supremacy and inviolability ns shadowed by ihe present Ad ministration" The Enquirer, at the lime, deeming some exp'anation of his rai her cu rious circumstance necessary, endeavored to destroy the force of this testimony by cooly reading the convention of the Vermont De mocracy out of the pale of the Democratic church. It took care, however, not to spread before i s reai'ers the' proceedings of the Convention It has shown equal discretion i in not publishing a late letter from Senator Chase of Ohio, from which we take the fol louing perrinent extract. Possibly the or- , thodox democracy of Mr. Chase is denied, which may account for the neglect shown that dist nguished Locofoco leader: Ceaseless t flbrs are now'made in certain quar ters lo commit the Democracy tothe support of the Compromise measures of the last Cngres, aoop ted und. r the auspices and through the influence of ihe existing Whin Administration. These efforts ma J be attended with temporary and partial success hut they cannot advance, in any way the Demo cratic cause, or ha-iten ihe triumph of Democratic principles; on the contrary, jus tso far as i hey suc ceed, they, w H, in my judgement, debase the aims, lower ihe standard, and depress the energies of the Democracy. The Compromise measures stanJ condemned by democratic principles. The a-surnption of the State d-bi of Texas ; the conversion of lite Nation al Free Territory into Texan Slave Terriii ry ; the attempt io fetter tle discretion of future t'ongres ses in respect to ihe admission cf new .States; the omission to secure the inhabitant of lae new ter ritories in the full enjoyment of the inaiienalle rights of life, liberty and the pur-uil of happiness, and the assumption of unconsiiiutiona power, in iJie enact nent ot ihe odious Fugitive Have Bill, cannot b successfully defended. Who believe that any Democrat would attempt a defence of i hem, were it not for ;he imagined rtecessity of conciliatin? slavehokiitiz support to national nominations for ihe Presidency and the Vice Pre -idency. ' v But it must be remembered that this support may be purchased too dearly. There ia a great body of Democrats whi will never consent to sub juration to the Slave Power, and their number increases continual f . They will, if need be, pre fer independent action under a truly Da mncratic banner, and upon a thorouglrty Democratic plat form, to a surrender of Democratic principle for ihe sake of mere pany success. KENTUCKY ELECTION. There is no longer any reason for doubting that IfAZARVS W. Powsll, the Democratic candidate, has been elected Governor of the State of Kentucky. Such an event has not happened betore in many years, and it ap pears to have been now produced by the in difference of many Whigs, who, relying up on the acknowledged strength of their party in that State, dui not deem it necessary to enter actively upon the canvass or attend the polls on election day. That such was ,hr case shown by the fad that the present vote does not exhibit any increase of the Democratic strength as compared with the vote given for Mr Powell in 1848, when Governor Crittenden's majority over him was more than .eight thousand ..votes. We trust our Whig friends will profit by the re verse which thev have experienced, and not again be at fault m the performance of their duty. Th - majority by which they have permit ed their wonhy candidate for Goer nor'to be now defeated is only a few hun dred votes, when twice as many thousand voters appear to have stayed away from the polls. 1 Jfut.

We had the phsure of being present in Washington on -.Thursday last, at the : cele bration of Mr. Stanly's election, on the oc casion oT comparing the polls. We regret that our space confines us. to a very brief no tice. A very lage concourse of the people of Beaufort county.together wtlh a arge num ber from other counties of the District, was present A more joyous as&emb'age we have rarely attended. .Mr.. Stanly's address was appropriate, eloquent and impressive, A public dinner wairgiven by the whole-soule f Whigs of Beaufort. A table was spread the whoe length of ihe large warehouse, belong ing tothe Messrs Myers, and was well filled, promiscuously, by Whigs and Democrats, who had been invited without distinction of parly, and who did amp'e justice io the ex cellent dinner prepared for the occasion. Toasts were dupensed "with, but refreshments were offered to such as chose to partake. There was comparatively little drinking, and we saw no drunken men. Messrs. John N Washington. Satterthwaite, Wynne, Mc Guire, Beckwith Sparrow, Rich of Hyde, Joyner, and Mayhew, were successively cal led to the stand, an I each delivered a short artl appropriate address, which in the humor the assemblage was in, was well received as a mat er of course. The whole affair passed off smoothly and admirably, and all depar ted on fine terms with each other, with all the world, and "the rest of mankind." Newbernian. DAVIDSON COLLEGE. The twelfth Commencement of this highly interesting Institution passed off on the 14th instant giving to the world the additional number ot fifteen young men, to engage in the active pursuits of life. The whole scene was imposing. On Wednesday morning the Eumenian Society was addressed by Mr. V. C. Baninger, ot Cabarrus, in a vry able and scholar lik" man-er. There was bout it a finish and symmetry that is rarely seen. His aim seemed to b o lead the young to a proper conception o .ie truly educated man, which he detiuetl to be a perfect con trol over the faculties of the mind nothing short of this is a finished education. In the evening, Mr. White, of South Carolina, ad dressed the Phil an hroptc Society. We hard only- a few of the last sentences at the cloa.-, but learned that he did honor to himself and the Society which be repreiented. Alter these exercises had passed, Mr. Gotre-1, of Greensborough. Orator for the day, was announced. , This distinguished gentleman arose and delivered one of the most handsome and appropriate addresses we have bad the p ea-ure to listen to for years. It was from beginning to eiid, smooth, flowing and eloquent. It was characterized by solid truth wholesome advice, and a purity of style, which made it attractive and useful. But as it is to be published, we shall suspend further remarks. On Ttnirsday, which was Commencement day, eariy in the forenoon the. Alumni of he College held their meeting, and heard an address from Mr. Peacock, of Rocking ham. After which: a procession was formed in the grove, near the house ol Mr. Alexan der, compoi-od of Students, Trus ees and Clergy. It moved steadily and graceful I yj along towards the house oi the I re-ident, then wheeled to the left entered the Chapel led by an excellent band of music, which gave life and a imation lo alL In the Chapel was fouud, as is usual on such an occasion, a large assemblage of young and old, but es pecially young gentlemen and ladies. Sel dom do you find thrown together such an array of beauty, refinement and talent, as is seen on one of these Commencement occa sions. The whole day was spent ii hearing the speeches of the Graduating Class, many of which were well prepared, reflecting much honor upon themselves-and teachers, and all were respectable. We might men tion the names of several as having more es pecially distinguished themselves, but where all did so well, it were wrong, perhaps, to do so On the whclo a stranger would be impres sed favorably as to the future success of this Institution.
