formed during a sojourn of aeveral
^^piitb, which he ia now making, and
átion ia directed paiticularly to the inaiitution, as it
bereexiaiB. He baa already given the following aa
i reaokof his observation* thus fat :
irst tbeué.I have no doubt that the pbyaical con-
i of the slave, in cities, ia better than the physi«
oal condition of free laborers of corresponding classes
in the cities in Europe. Secondly, for that and oth-
er reasons, 1 believe that emancipation would impair
the physical condition of the slave—at first very aeri-
oualy, and ultimately lesa so, but ai ill not inconsider-
ably. Thirdly, t am euro that the alavea in the
citiéa are quite uncon xioua of the misery end degra-
dation, which ao sorely grieves those who advocate
abolition. They seem to be eminently a happy and
contented race. Fourthly, in case of sicknesa, otany
«i ber bodily visitatiim. affecting life or health.the alave
(as before, in tbe cities) ia belter cared for than free
laborera of the aame class are in like caaes in the citiea
of Europe. Fifthly, from observing the spirit which
pervades the alare owning claaaca, 1 think the aboli-
tion party are retarding the event which it ia their par-
O «o accelerate, and tbeir exertiona tend to render
|ndpation only attainable by means which cannot

A D"g Story."-The editor of tbe Naahua
(N. H.) Telegraph tella rather a hard but a
good stoiy of a dog. We give it in bis own
words.—
Every body remembers Bose. His maater
once took a partner in basiness. For some
days he dogged bia steps constantly wherever
he went, and intimated to him. in bia way,
that hn thought he wss "making himself rath-
er familiar on a slight acquaintance," but Bose
was not a dog to do any thing rashly, and be
therefore "laid low" and watched the move-
ments. At length the sign of a new firm waa
railed—Bose walked out into the street, set
himself on bia haunches, as dogs have a way
of doing, and read it carefully. He went in,
grinning an humble apology to bia new maa-
ter, ano dogged bis steps no more!
American Whaling—It is worthy of notice that the
Americans continue to make the bay whaling at Swan
river a profitable speculation; and as the Perth Inquir-
er contains some inte resting statistics connected with
their operations during the orst half year of 1842, it is
as well to give the facts, in order to Isy before the pub-
lic an idea of the wealth the whale fishera of tbe Uni-
ted States are drawing on tbe sealvtard of one of our
colonies. Port Augusta, a place jret but little known,
ia the favorite resort for tbe American fleet to be sno
plied with vegetables, ft uit, milk, fresh meat, and oth-
er necessaries for a voyage, and here, it ia stated, the
vessels also undergo the repair of damage they may
have received either from the usual chancea of the
trade, or the effect <>f bad weather. Tbe vetsels that
had tailed in at this port up to June were twelve in
iheir filthy ideas do not involuntarily occur?
Cuatom caunot excuse guilt, nor can fashion sancti-
fy indelicacy. We beg leave to aak, if It can be
proper for a young lady to do that whiih ia groaaly
improper for a married lady? Do married , ladiee
waltz? Dp htishanda aland by and quietly see their
wives dragged atound a room in the embraces of
a atrange gentleman? Perbapa they do, and we in
our ignorance, are "behind the age;" but ifhuabanda
do auflér their wives to waltz, let them blame no-
boddy but tltemselves if on returning home some day,
after the fatigues of business, they find the partner
of their bosom eloped, jewels and money, with Count
Schrcknmrski, the unpronounceable Pole, or tbe aim-
Russian Piice,Kutyourn«setnizoff.

The Electro-Magnetic Telegraph.—The utility of
the plan of Profoaaor Morse to con.tey intelligence by
means of electricity is so plain, that we wonder why
it is not put in immediate use. We aró glad to ob-
serve that it is at present occupying the attention of
Congress. A few facts relative to thin fimplo plan,
may not be uninteresting. The mosr favorite mode
of erecting the telegtaph is that of enclosing a copper
wire (or conductor) in lead pipe, and then burying
the pipe three >r four feet beb w the surface of the
ground. A galvanic battery is then uaed, and the op<
erators at either end of the wire are poasessed of a sort
of register, or conventional alphabet, the key to vthich
enablea them to communicate with each other by tbe
length or duration of tbe ahoefca of electricity convey-
ed from the battery upon the wire. The operati'Hi ia
thua perfectly aimple, and the telegraph could never
get <Hit of order. SuppOae thia wire and lead pipe to
reach from New York to Now Orleans (1500 milea)
still the communication, by meana of eleetriety, would
he ineiant. In time of war, there could be no esti-
mate of the value of this telegraph, provided the lo-
calities of tbe pip* were kept as secret ss possible.—
Prof. Morse says his system when once established mav
l«e made a source of revenue from the service it will
tenderte the whole community., There csn he no
doubt, he thinks, that when once the line is made, it
Mould be in cons taut use; and ibe paramount ctnven-
ienoeto commercial agents and othera of thus cones
ponding, will authorise a rate of postage proportionate
to the diatance. The operaiion of the Telegraph in
