parison between the relative condition of

slave institution have a residence. M Cross
the line that Separates the free from the
slave States; or standi upon it and look
across the former : you will see compara
tively alL life and happiness, and prosper
ity, both public and private : but turn your
eyes upon the! latter arid survey it ; i every

poverty and dilapidation ; all look as if

Every prospect seems ; to be withered and
wilted by the frown and disapprobation of
'avenging justice and jj violated humanity.
In ; short almost every institution, public

the 'Ash proudly erect, unscathed and unshorn

changed, and its force measurably broken, by

Their escape, is it was, seemed almost
miraculous. At the foot of the Ash; prostrate
and forlorn, lay Young Hickory, saying as plain

THE CHANCES OF A WAR.
The possibility i if not probability of a war
between France arid England, occupies the se
rious attention of reflecting men on both sides
of the Atlantic, yarioua causes are spoken of
as combining to create, the difficulty of. an arni.
cable arrangemenfbetween the 4 two. powers,
the most obvious among which is the animosity
against England prevailing among the French
people, stimulated! at least, if not created, by
the leaders of, tlie opposition to the Guizot
Ministry, v hb used it as a;Iever with which to
force that statesman' out ot Louis Philippe's
Cabinet. 'Another less upon the surface and a
good deal more questionable, is said to be the
idea of the three great continental : monarchs;
the despots of Prussia, Austria and Russia; that
it would ? be better to have a struggle with
France now, while the Napoleon of peace
is living, than a fearful democratic explosion at

interests of Pur oWn country in the matter ; and.
especially in connexion with two very important
political questions involved: in the Presidential
canvass for which we arc all preparing. - -
A general luropean war, or even a war be
tween England and Francc alone, would be ad.
vantageous to this country, provided we took
good care not to be entangled in it. It is to be
