Rut a fame unknown For' ages past,. shall be his own!" . . t "Who now lies buried in gloomy state.' : t r r From the New Haven Register. The White. Man's Government. -The Drcd Scott decision, that negroes are not citizens under the Constitution, has proved very unpalatable to th Republicans and'their allies, the Abolitionists. The radical element which pervades the Opposition; and constitutes its. lead ing and distinctive feature, can nöt be satisfied short of a recognition bf the political and social equality of the white and black races. The doctrine is iot a newj one, as it constituted the basis of the bid Abolition party though it has but recently been' adopted in its length and breadth, by the Republicans,"- as an Issue hi "'"which they hope tomakeheadwayagamstthe Democrats. While' their exquisite sense of-justice, and their : pure and unselfish .devotion to the cause,of humanity suffuses their eyes with virtuous tears, and nerves them for-the conflict with "the myrmidons of tho slave power it c.ri -not escape the' notice that there is "a .method in their madness.,, Opposition to Democratic men and measures, is the exciting, cause of . their action, and if they can but attain to power by any expedient, however diihonest or unworthy, their object will have been rained, and "the devil'may take the hindmost," be he white or black; m At present, however, the" unfortunate negro comnvaudj their best : euorts; and, their, warracst.sympatbies. Atti-slavery agitation rules the hour, and Republican orators and presses are 'continually poViring'upon the popular car denunciations' of that government whose fosterinrr care in promoting the interests of white men, has been stamped, over and over, again with the tokens of popular, approval. Because, forsooth, negroes arc not judiciously recognized as having all those political powers which attach to the race of white men-, under a Constitution formed by the latter and for their" benefit, these philanthropists irl part spit -ppoE".the Constitution from which the doc trine of .negro equality is tx confessedly legitimate deduction, as ."a covenant with death and an agreement 'with hell,1' while othei-s of the same parly perhaps as yet the majority--kindly excuse the Constitution and its framcr from any intention to slight the claims of .the colored race, land reserve all their, venom and epitaphs for. the judges, whose construction of that instrument is, - .. ' ' ' 1 ' .. w ' . ..... . . as tncy say, "outrageous and abominable," and tl.at party which upholds and sanctions' the same. They picture the abhorrence of the founders of the Republic. . to i the system of negro slavery . in iuch. vivid and striking colors, that we are almost led to believe that Abolitionism, unlike other reforms, has jgone backward, and that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were its high priests. All this may-sound very well, and, if true, might convict the Democracy Of , a departure from their early faith, and exalt the -Republicans to the dignity of a party vigorously and intelligently striving to restore our governmental principles to their original purity. But unfortunately for them, the sanction or the early statesmen of our land can not bo laid rclaix to by these meddlesome ' reformers, save at the expense of . historic, truth. ' The fact is, that, the men who drew up and put forth our Declaration 'of Independence, as well as the subsequent framers of our Constitution,' felt thi they, were charged with the formation of a gavernmentrfor white men. While their opinions on the. subject of human, bondage probably different in n,o important, degree from these of temperate ana 'sensible men of our own daj either in a po-lrtico-econömlcal point of view, or on-' the score' of humanity they evidently considered the. black man as, occupying, and as estinedjtoi occupy t so inferior and dependent a position in the social system;' as to'prtcinde Mm frombeiilg "reeogniied as "ia ' party toi our' federal compact." The rights and liberties of the white man having been looked after and secured, it was exf ected by them that
the negrq was to live under such laws as the dominant race plight see fit to enact. They entirely IgKorcd the cxistanee of the 'negro.' No better proof of this need be adduced, than the words of the-declaration itself. 'All men,' it says, arc created free and ecaal., . -Tbis of course refers to the natural right to '.'life, llhcrty, and: the pursuit of happincstV and nothing can be more absurd than to claim that 'it was Intended to include the negro race, while-black children were daily being born all around t'iem in state of slavery. Tlie Indians, as well- .as the negroes were not taken into account in our bill pf Rights, when it speaks of . the equality of , 'men.' When Jefferson und his compatriots used this language, thoy referred solely to white men !n the sanje view and spirit in which the British government frame their 'enactments for the administration of their affairs in India; with sole regard to their own white subjects leaving to them the care and regulation of the millions of natives. Neither can. tlie charge of cruelty, or disregard of the impulses of humanity, be laid upon the men who inaugurated our form of government." They knew that the races so ignored by them, were naturally so inferior to their own, that the care and protection of the former would devolve upon the lai.ter, whether they were bond or tree, and they thought that the duty thus imposed on succee&rg generations, could best be discharged by them, according to the cxcgencics of the times, and the convictions of their own judgments. In declairing none but wliite nun admissible to the privileges of citizenship, thoy but enunciated a ' proposition accordant with the plain dictates of propriety, and one from which the
present moral or intellectual capacities of the inferior race by no means warrants a departure. As to the question of the abrogative of slavery, j the moral condition of mankind is wich that interest will regulate that matter, despite any appeals that may be made to the humanities. The peaceful extinction of slavery would he one of the greatest blossipgs but we aprehcnl that tlie consideration of dollars and cents will be the ultimate and potent solvent of the bonds of the Southern slave, as it has already been of the Northern.

One rainy afternoon, in the earliest part of autumn, I heard a low knock at my door, and upon opening it found a peddler. Now peddlers are a great vexation to me; they leave gates open; they never have any thing I want and I dont like the faces that belong to most of them, especially thase of the strong men who go about with little packages of coarse gooda; and I always close the door upon them, saying to myself, 'lazy.' This was a little boy, and he was pale and wet, and looked so cold that I forgot he was a peddler, and asked him to come in by the fire. I thought he looked as though ho expected I wa3 going to buy something, for ho commenced opening his tin box; but I had no such intention. He very earnestlylooked up in my face, and also sadly, when I told him to warm himself by the fire, and that I did not wish to purchase anything. He rose slowly to his feet, and there was something in his air which reproached'me, and I detained him to inquire why he was out in the rain. He replied: ' " I am out every day, and cant stay in for a' little rain, besides most peddlers stay at home then, and I can sell most of a rainy day.' How much can you earn in a day' I enquired.- '"' 'Sometimes two shillings, sometimes , - .... . 0 1 one, and once in awhile I set nothin? all day,' and then ma'ani I get very tired Here he gave a dry quiet cough which startled roe. , . , . .. . . . . How, long have you had that cough?' ' 'I do not know, ma'am. 'Does it hurt you? - T 'Yes,'maara". 'Whero does your mother live? 'In heaven, ma'am,' said he unmoved. 'Have you a father? ,'Yes ma'am, he is with mother,' he re plied in the same tone. 'Have you any brothers and sisters? " 'I liad a little sister, but , she went to mother a month ago.. , : 'What ailed her? ' 'She wanted to see mother, and so do I, and I guess that is why I cough so. ' 'Where did you live? 'With Mrs Brown, on N Street. 'Does she give you any medicine for your cough? Xot doctors medicine; she. is too poor, but she makes something for me to take. Will you take something if I giye it to you? . ' No maam, I thank you; mother took rrudicine, and it didnt help her, though she' wanted to stay, and you see I want to go; it would not stop my cough. Good day, ma'am. ' ' . : Wait a minute I said, I waut to see what' you i carry. ' 1 "' He opened his box' and for once I found what I wanted. - Indeed 'V dont think u would have mattered what he had. Isho'd have wanted it, for the little peddler had char,gd:iiv my eyeshe had a father and mother in heavenand so had I. .How yry strängt that 'peddlers had; never seemed like people bttman; . soul-Glled beings before; i How thankful he ' was,' arid his great suiken blue eyes looked into ray own when I paid hira.

Will.. you con, j in arjain , Yes, ma'am, if I don't go to mother, soon : Aro you hungry? Xo ma'am, 1 never feeHiunrrv now. I sometimes think mother feeds ma r.s I sleep, though I dont remember wh"n I'm awake. ' 1 only know that I dont w ish o cat now,"6incd my sister died. Did you feel very s.vJ?

II. bade me jjood drtvncjaiii, cheerfnllr and went out into the cold rain, while 1 -ould only say, 'God be with you my child! He never come ba.-k again, though I looked for him evervdav. At l'-MiuMh about New Year's day, I went to the place he called hi home. Mrs Brown 'vns there but the little pilgrim's weary feet were at rest, and never more would his j;ertlo knock be heard at the doors of tlios ? who. like, myself, forgot the necessity ami stern want tint often sent about these wanderers ! from .house to house, their employment might bo fir more unseemly to to them than annoying to us. 'y Close of the Work. A week! It is but a short time indeed, bat its events are a host, its changes niany. To whom has the week just about to ciosj brought joy? to whom sorrow? to whom riches'? to whom poverty? to whom enemies? to whom love? to whom hatred? to whom sickness ?to whom health? to whom lifo to whom Death? What! all this in one week? Yes, and a host mor numerous than the sands of the sea. Many who saw tlie dawning of the present week will bfi in another world before it closes; many upon whom fortune smiled a week ago, are groaning beneath the withering frowns of poverty, many who were floating gently on the bark oflife, o'er the unru tiled sea of happiness, a week agojsare now the wrecks oTruin on the shores of afr!iction;many upon whom the sun of the last Sabbath shone propitiously, have, ere this time met with some misfortune, and are turned upon the world, the children of poverty: and many whose expectations and hope were beaming forth bright and prosperous at the dawn of tho week, find themselves at the cl;?t'"ti;ö sad and miserable beings of cruel disappointment. And such is the fife of man! It is eubject to changes in a week, a day, nay, even an hour. Ihe woild is sail in commotion, revolution succeeding . revolution, rimewhttling in its rapid progress, leaving behind , its strace of destruction. Tho fohowinir remarks of tlie I'hitachdphia Journal, which is neutral tho rather leans against the democracy, convey the highest compliment to the honesty and continued supremacy of the only eoiucvative and national organization that survives the mutations of the political t-'e-ments.' Democrats in iheexerris .f free and honest thought, may diiX-T among themselves outside of the parly platform personal and social considerations may, for a time estrange them but when the great battle of principal shall auive, thev alwavs forget th? dissensions and rallv to to the irlorious fl.c that has so of;en led them to victory. Their mutual and harmonious action, on great occasions, may readily be traced to their devotion to thy fundamental principles f their party, wich may be summed up i.i k few words; a strict construction of ths Constitution,' A respect to tlse rights cf the States, and to to the equal right of the people of the StMws; peifect freedom exists in religion, and an equality among all the citizens of a (ocmon country. Thus whatever unpromising signs may be observed in matiy parts of the the confedraey and, however public sentiment may indicate itself for the present, in the grand battli of principle of 1CGJ, dissensions among democrats will be happily .merged in adevotion to the common cause, that of the Constitution .and' Union We have seen many darker hours than the present followed by sunshine and' peace. That it will be soagaiu, past experience fully demonstrates. Whatever other condition the opposition may count upon in the contest for the President in 1 CGO.we b thera not to build any more hope upon the diiorcfanization. .of the democratic party. The divisions i which have occasionally disordered its 1 ranks, have never vet oroeeecled to disso- !- . " . " r . . ... lution. There is a cohesive power holding together the .different member ol that great compact political body, which 110 intestine dissensions can ever wholly or permanently overcome, and, however tempor ary causes may avail to divide themasun. der, for a season, yet the natural afiinitv, of the parts will eventually re unite themselves closely and (irmly as if tio difference had ever disturbed "their harmony. All past experience verifies litis assertion. The weakness or the abuse of the Adminis-. tration may cool the arder of its fiiends, or even force them into momentry revolt, but time soon rekindles the old partisan spirit and heals up the bitter feuds. v The first greaf struggle,; either to keep or : regain its ascendency, calls back every deserter from the party, and lestorcs completely its invincible unity. Whatever the band may be that so marvellously resist all force to break it, its strength has beer too long and too often tried to justify an expectation that " it will fail hereafter When it.seernS hopelessly brolen, it is' only relaxed ,'becaustte strain of external power of opposition is withdrawn; bnt so soon as tho sense of -common interest and danger pulls upon it again; 7ilffn;8 t native vigor and tension are again rene wd
