This is speaking out in a frank and manlj spirit. The South cannot realize and ait upon the doctrine too promptly. The men who re gard labor as unworthy and degrading.ithe so. ciety that recognises and inculcates Jsuch, a fearful error, cannot but become the Victims. The "Mountain Banner" an intelligent journ al published in North Carolina, takesup the story and fallows it out with still more force; " The standard of merit." says the editor! " cbril sists not in a man's occupation, but Jn perform ing his part well, whatever it may be whetb;l er he act in the capacity of a blackstnith ojr doctor, tailor, lawyer or merchant."

It is laid out in broad and regular streets, the Mdes -planted with trees. A handsome ark.of 18 acres occupies the centre of the town. There are now over 1000 dwell ings, many of them elegant residences. iNme religious societies are organized, se veral of them alrfcady having erected i I handsome church edifices. A large and cbriunodious Town Hall is just complet ing, at a cost of 60,000. A Bank is in jsticcessful operation with a capital of $250,000. Also a savings Bank and an insurance Company. Three large and Well conducted Newspapers are publish ed here. There are 12 Dry Goods Stores, 5 Book stores, 21 Shoe stores, 35 Grocery Stores, G Confectionaries, G.Apothecaries, 0 Jewelers, 19 Lawyers, eighteen Physi cians, seven hotels, -and so on in every .de partment of business. Gas works have been erected at a cost of 830,000, witn which the whole town will be lighted. A sewer also runsthrough the place, for the length of half a mile of solid masonry, high enough for a man to walk in it erect fpr the whole distance, and into this branch sewers run from every street. A public ibrary has been formed, which already numoers auou volumes. I hree Kailroads now run into the place and two more will be completed this fall, opening communis cation with the commercial emporiums iq every point of the compass. 1 could nil up, with statistics, and facts and descriptions of the town and its busi- rtess, but this will suffice to give you some thing of an adequate idea. Remember that all this has been pro duced in three brief years, from the un promising materials of a desolate sheep pasture, with not more than two houses in sight, and I think you will bear me out in saying that it is unparalleled in the his tory of the world." Curious Reminiscence. Ritchie once Opposed to Slavery. Looking, a day or two since, over an old file of the Richmond Enquirer, for the year 1820, publishedy tie present editor of the Union, we found (says the Richmond Times) in a number which was mostly full of the debates Jn Congress on the Missouri question, then in its crisis, a curious avowal of the edit pr's opinions on the subject of slavery. inable correspondent, using the signa ture of 4 An Inquisitive slaveholder, proy , r. c tV.,V 4 d, by many quotations from the Bible,! e that slavery was distinctly recognized and sanctioned under the old Jewish policy. The Enquirer published the essay with a prefatory editorial, which we copy below. It is at least amusing to observe, that While the Enquirer, xf the present day, holds every Whig press to be heterodox Which hesitates to give assent to Mr. El wood Fisher's pleasant argument, that the slave States are richer than the free States, such sentiments as the following Were openly declared by the former editor in the very midst of the great excitement that pervaded the country on the Missou ri! question. In the same paper which Contained this editorial, the first news was 1 .A ' given of the prospect of compromise at j Washington, (the same which was car rie.l into efiect,) and the editor bitterlyxHmadf !he.mer!o1 C a bevv of worn out : vve coniess u to oe a very ingenious, eie- ! gant and forcible production. i !

As to the extension of slavery beyond the Mississippi, it is miserable cant ; it would tend to soften thel evil and to accelerate abolition." Verily thisis.asbad as Gen. Cass famous prayer for 4 Abolition every where,' which had so much prominence! in the canvass of 1848. THE ALLIES. The New York Globe publishes the " Resolutions of the Democratic Gen eral Committee" of that city, three of which we annex: 3. Resolved, That President Taylor, by allowing his name and influence to be used for the benefit of the slave power, at the close of the last session of Congress has only violated the spirit of his pledge not to interfere with "the action of Con gress, but by threatening through his offi- cial organ, to visit the 4 free soil party' with his indignant frown, in case they should do what southern members of Con gress have done without incurring any such frowns, has abundantly shown that the cause of freedom in the now free ter ritories of New Mexico and California, has nothing to hope, but much to fear from the present national administration. 4. Resolved. That to protect this great interest, and to ensure in the other re spects a sound administration of public 'affairs ; it is ; indispensable that there should be a re-union of the democratic party, and that we hail with unmingled satisfaction the beginnings of this re-union in the measures lately taken in Wis consin, Vermont and several other States. 5. Resqlved, That we have observed, with pleasure, varibusindications, through the press, and in other forms of a,gener- ai rfes:Pft rOP si1pk n.nninn in thp.Mpmn cratic masses of this State ; and while, as a committee, we disclaim all authori ty or right, to propose, or to receive terms, of union, to or from pur former political associates no such power having v been delegated to us by our constituents we think it proper, on the present occasion, to declare our readiness, as individuals, cordially to co-operate in all just, equal and honorable measures to promote this end." We recommend the above to the earn est consideration of southern democrats. They will see it here proclaimed by their own brethren that the; enemies of the South' have nothing to hope, but much to fear from Gen. Taylor's administration. They will see the recent anti-slavery al liance of both hrahches of the Vermont Democracy hailed 44 with unmingled sat isfaction &c. It is evident that Democ racy at the North has parted company forever with its old allies. Let the South look to itself and sustain its own sons. Richmond Republican.

Dr. T. was not heard of in the canvass, or, if he was. it was in some retired corner, from whence his name never travelled abroad. It is by such proof! as the foregoing letter that the opposition attempt to convict the Hero of the Rio Grande of "violated pledges." It is thus that they attempt to drive from his side those independent' and pattiolic citizens, who preferring their country to party, came out and nobly supported him. They will fail in their undertaking. The men who thus sustained Gen. Taylor are full grown men men of nerve and determination, who are not easily frighten ed or driven from their position. It is said, that those who stand upon slippery places make nice of no vile hold to stay themselves up. Such is pre-eminently truo in regard to the factious attacks of the opposition. They feel the ground giving way under them, and make nice therefore of no slander, however monstrous, to hang a hope upon, or to stay up their cause. A JUST PROVIDENCE AND A RIGHT BESCLT. The Columbus (Miss.,) Whig, in some inter esting reflections upon that eventful hour in the history of Gen. Taylor and his country, the bat tle of Buena Vista makes the following extract from a letter wiitten by the old hero on the eve of the battle : "This may be the last communication you j with four times its usual average. We will receive from me ; I have been stripped by ; began to suspect that the cheap excur the government of regular troops, and reduced sions to France have done it all, for it js in volunteers ; and thus stripped, and at the ; very strange that an Englishman canrJbt mercy oi ine- roe, have been expected to retreat or resign nut l snail do neither. 1 care not for myself, but feel deeply for the noble sol diers who aro about to be sacrificed for their country; shall stand still and give them battle, relying on a Just Providence for a right result." Such sentiments, we agree with the Whig exhibit one of the noblest characters on the re cords of history, a spirit, calm under the gross est provocation ; inflexible in its allegiance to duty ; fixed as rock in all its purposes ; full of courage and full of humanity. The result of Buena vista proved that such a spirit is not presumptuous in looking with confidenco to the Almighty for support. Says the Whig : 44 The justice of providence on which he per iled every thing, at Buena Vista, vindicated it self in something more than his delivery in the hour of battle instead of being buried amid the wreck of that eventful day, it next anniversary beheld him in a triumphal progress towards the Capitol of the nation. A wise providence has seen fit to assign to him a weightier commis sion than the discomfiture of foreign enemies. He has been called by the people to restore the ' you don't believe it turn to the Acts print country of Washington to its pristine purity, j ed bv authoritv. and on narre 110 rnirl and to re-conduct the ship of state to her an cient moorings. 4 Fir6t in war,' his high aim is to. bring back the country to that peaceful policy from, which revolutionists bad seduced her, making him in more senses than one 4 first in peace.' That he should have encountered opposition in this patriotic enterprise is not re markable, but that such a man, the author of sueh a letter, should have been visited with such vulgar denunciation, misrepresentation and abuse as is heaped upon him by the demo cratic press, argues a state of political depravi ty that we were not prepared for. We much doubt whether Robespiere excited more re morseless fury, than is vented by the Washing ton Union and kindred prints upon Gen. Tay lor. It is truo. that democratic cruelty is not marked with blood, but the animus is the same in kind and degree. He has been charged with imbecility, treachery, falsehood anj cru elty, and the whole vocabulary cf scurrilous abuse has been showered on him." The Abolitibnisls on Gen. Taylor. The Boston Republican, the organ of the Abolition, j ists, holds the following language respecting . the Presfdent of the United States : j No public man in our history no, not one ', has played so deceitful a political gme as has j this honest Gen. Taylor. His whole political life has been only a series of inconsistencies. If any public man ever richly deserved to have hypocrisy branded upon and burned into his forehead, that public man is Zachary Taylor. This is very much like ihe language employ. ed by the Richmond Enquirer and other Loco ion. Both denounce Gen. 'I aylor with vulgar coarseness which we. Consider a strong re commendation of him to all patriotic and right- thinking men. A Specimen of OJicc-hohlers.

An article in Hunt's Merchants' Magazine, descriptive of Detroit, makes mention of a most re markable fossil to be seen in that city. The building erected for the use. of the j Bank of Mich igan, now in the use of tho ! Government of the United States, is con j structcd, in part of a species of shell lime ; stone, brought from tho island in Lake 1 Erie, and polished for the purpose. Oner ; of the surfaces presents a section of a ' pectrilied human face and skull. In pre paring the stone by the chissel, the petri faction was divided from front to rear, vertically, so that it shows a profile of the face, a transverse section of the cranium, with petrified folds of the brain itself. 1 The block from which this curiosity was obtained, is of a large size.
