This letter wee add reeled to general Whitaker Quot a member of the Kent Oky legislature and a worthy companion in Arm of the Gallant author who a himself a native of Kentucky. We Are nowhere been the duty of die government to destroy slavery More tersely or forcibly expressed than in the following sentence of general Wood s letter Quot to government with a proper regard for Ite perpetuity can safely in stare in its bosom an element which May be in the hands of designing criminal men used for its detraction. Quot no government Ehwald give Ite Protection to an interest which can be availed to a Rouse the most incendiary passions of human nature and direct them into systematic action for its overthrow this a the asm of the whole argument slavery made the War and the at niggle in to determine whether it Ahall overthrow All other interests and remain master of the nation. The Dit of payer. It seems that the paper monopolists have succeeded in buying up the United states Senate. On monday says the Cincinnati Gazette the Senate amended the House Resolution reducing the duty on. Foreign printing Peper by inserting fifteen instead of three per cent. Or. Sherman stated that Domestic paper now pays a duty of ten per cent in currency and therefore he thought the duty on foreign paper ought to be the same in Coin. We we do not know How he makes it appear that the tax on Domestic paper is ten per a a int. It was stated some Days ago by the Indianapolis journal that the Eastern pub Fishers after inducing Western publishers to join them in a remonstrance to Congress against the paper duty were bought up Fey the paper monopolists who contracted to furnish them with paper at red need Cates provided said Eastern publishers nikke no farther opposition to the present duty. It looks As if the Story was needy Correct. Iks t Avenue state of the Satte Aal Flash ass. The new York world e Washington a or respondent writes to that journal the favourable indications respecting the iia Rioual finances were pointed out by your Eor respondent Early in december. The appropriations for the War department for the present fiscal year Are seven Hundred said sixty two millions of dollars $762, 000.000. The get metes for the next fiscal year ire reduced to five Hundred and a Faven millions of dollars $511,000,000pc sift a decrease of two Hundred and fifty one millions of dollars 251,000,000. The Navy estimates will also be reduced Aiu fifty millions making three Hundred millions in All while receipt of the Treasury from taxation it is now certain will lie increased a Hundred millions. Thas the borrowing necessities of the govern Tfelt for the next fiscal year will be re a left four Hundred million of dollars so a that they will probably not reach three few fed red million. The Hope of in a Creed Revenue Are based on a modification of the tobacco tax and the operation a of the whisky tax which has been Noper a Tifre till Bow in consequence of the Large a Tooke on hand at the time the tax was levied. A revival of the business of the Mutry to also expected to Lead to better mins from miscellaneous taxes. 9uch Plewe come from an unexpected Quarter.

The Buffalo express in speaking of the opposition to the constitutional Amend ment made by democratic members of the new York legislature Falls it and we think very appropriately�?1"heroic it Aye that the solid opposition with which the democratic members of our legislature doggedly confronted the constitutional amendment to abolish slavery was the result of a solemn caucus in which they deliberately resolved that the party of Copperhead democracy should stick to slavery to the last and go Down with the Black Flag flying. Perhaps they Are right. If they must be infamous there in some satisfaction perhaps in making their infamy heroic. There Are others it seems Beedee new York demo Orale who Are Emulous of heroic infamy of Thia kind. We have some in our two legislature. The Day in Oom ing when they or their children will fall upon the Rooks and Mountain to fall upon their record Aud hide it from the eight of Man. Ossi advice. Frederick Douglas in addressing the coloured people the other Day in Baltimore gave them some excellent advice which we find reported in the Cambridge my intelligencer i now desire to make some remarks to my Dolored friends. By the adoption of the new Constitution your of edition is Ohen ged. You Are in one Senee but you must not think that Freedom Means absence from. Work. Bear that in mind. I would impress it upon your minds that if you would be prosperous you must be industrious. I would advise those living in the lower counties of Maryland to stick to their agricultural Pursuit. I believe that $150 in the country in better than $400 in the pity. There they can live More economically and there Are not so Many temptations to Lead them est Raj. If the coloured people of Maryland flock to Baltimore crowd log the alleys and by streets woe betide them. Sad indeed will be their Fate. They must stick to the country and work. They must be saving with their funds and Endeavor to buy land. They must continually 6trive to become landholders. Nor is this sufficient. They must build up schools and educate their children. Hitherto you were wont to Pride yourself on your muscle. He who could shoulder the heaviest Burden was the greatest Man in the neighbourhood. But you need something else now. Yon must make yourself capable of thinking a Well a digging. If we wish to enjoy the same privileges As the White Man we must labor to become his equal. We must educate ourselves. Let us resolve to Point the Finger of scorn at every Dolored Man who refuses to Send his children to school. You will find that the More intelligent and refined you become the More your White Brethren will respect you. I hold that All men Are. Equal naturally but not practically. We need not arrive to conceal that we Are inferior to the Whites practically. They have their Cleys websters end Cal bound. We have not. They can build ships while we can scarcely build a Canoe and it will be lopsided. In fact in All the arte and sciences they Are immeasurably our now if we will be studious and faithful to our interests it will not Elways be so. The Black Mao is just is capable of being great As the White. All it needs is an Effort a persistent untiring Effort. You have now the Opportunity and i Trust you will improve it. Be aaa adalat a Gratifying feature of the vote in the lower House of Congress on the constitutional amendment is the fact that demo Crata aided largely in its passage. The measure received but three More than the Requia it two thirds while sixteen demo Crata voted for it. Thia a an encouraging indication that the Long Vaasa see of the is Moorati party to slavery is passing away while if the amendment Ahall be ratified by three fourth of the state the politics of the country will be purified from the Ever disturbing influence of the Peculiar institution.

The tardiness with which Mankind adopt improvement May be in some degree illustrated by the following fete hastily thrown together canal Loche were invented in 1681, by engineers of Viterbo in Italy. They were nearly a Hundred Yeara getting fairly into use in France and about one Hundred and fifty to crossing the British Channel. At this time it waa made felony in severs european states to ride in wheel or ridges. The team engine waa invented or rather the principle of it discovered by the Marquis of Worcester As Early As i860. Few understood and none Eno our eged it. He died in great mortification. The Honor waa afterwards. Engrossed by Savary. I 1766 the Earl of Stanhope applied the steam engine to propelling a vessel a Steamboat waa run Twenty Milee on the Sankey canal Liverpool in 1707, and another on the Forth and Clyde canal in 1801. A Steamboat trip waa made on the Delaware As surly is 1791. In 1807, when Robert Fulton waa fitting no his first Steamboat at new York respectable and n headed men pronounced him Quot a fool a Oliver Evane went before committees of Legislatures first in Pennsylvania and then in Maryland with a project of a steam Carriage As Early As 1604. He asked a Little Aid to defray the expense. A hey would hardly be prevented from reporting in favor not of steam engine a but of a straight jacket for himself. Almost Ell nations Hava had the Segroi Iyun a Unity to Elise and utilise the or Elioue id when Peter the great or there about commenced a canal Wolga and the Don the governor and Boyere of the country opposed it earnestly thinking it impiety to torn Rivera out of the channels which heaven had assigned them. When some dutchmen proposed to make the River Mansanares navigable to the Tagus and that to Lisbon the Council said that if it bed been the will of god that the River should be navigable he would have made it to. When Brinley the great Engineer told a committee of parliament to whom Bridgewater e petition was referred that canals were better than Rivera and would supersede them for the purpose of navigation the committee were hooked and asked him Quot and Pray sir what were the Rivers a nude for Quot Quot to feed the Osvals Quot waa the answer. Or. Franklin surveyed the route of the Delaware and Chesapeake canal at Hie own expense in 1757. Beron Napier surveyed the route of the Forth end Clyde canal at his own expense in 1761. Both these works were subsequently accomplished but after great Deley. Or.

Consumers of candies Are not aware that since the extraordinary Advance in the Price of suger confectioner a great and. Email have entered largely into the adulteration of what were once Saccharine prepare Tiona but which Are now made up in a great part of deleterious earthly eur Ata Ocea. Some few Yeara ago the pity was agitated by the Ory of adulterated milk. It was conclusively shown thet Ite use Wes stealthily under minding the health of the juvenile portion of the population and that a Large percentage of the deaths among children were directly to Eneable to its use. Legislative interference was invoked and a stringent not waa passed which the proper authorities have enforced to the confessedly injurious As adulterated milk was admitted to be by the highest medical authorities it was health giving compared with the vile preparations which Are now sold under Tbs name of confectionery and which parents without stopping to examine permit their children to Teke into their it Omaha where it remains As a sediment the Galatio juice failing to dissolve it. Of course the result is Ingle Matious of the mucous membrane Amoute pains ending in the development of diseases that May result in death. We would therefore particularly warn mothers against using them themselves or Enos urging their children in the use of the candies now manufactured. The article principally introduced by Menafa Tourera is a dry Chalky substance manufacturers is known under the name a Terre Alboan it waa generally imported from Derbyshire England but is now found elsewhere is about one cent and a half per Pound and a As we Heve said largely substituted for Auger which at the present time posts from thirty to thirty two cents per Pound. We Are credibly informed that in some of the largest manufactories there Are need of Thia Earth from 2,000 to 3,000 Pounde per week and in the smaller where great Gaina Are sought by the proprietors it in introduced into their compounds with a recklessness that a absolutely fearful when the consequences from its consumption Era contemplated. This Chalky substance is generally used in what confectionery technically fall Quot pan work Quot a Auch a almonds sugar plume and Oara Waye.

To properly appreciate the value of advertising Over other Methode of my King ones business known to the Community we have Only to instance the Meny Large Fortunee thet have been derived from e systematic course of advertising.

It waa done and the result As related by Barnum himself waa an increase of one Hundred and fifty Dollare per week in his receipt a the first week and $250 per week sub Quentlyn. Since then he has never attempted to economise by reducing the amount paid for Hie advertisement. Fatta swindle.
