Lbc False l'rj that Slavery Is Already bead. Pr.m be AattSlaroiy Htandr4.) We fear that not a few earnest friends of freedom are in danger of being called into futal security by tho siren song, heard on every Bido, that slavery ia already dead! It is indeed writhing ia agony, but it is not dead far from it. There is still need of the utmost vigilance to guard against the possibility of a compromise that may leave the disease to proy for a generation, or perhaps for generations, upon the heart of the Nation. The eufceblcd condition of slavery and the growing spirit of free dom at the North, insteid of lulling us to sleep, as if our work were all done, should encourage us to strike harder blows at the monster than ever, and thus ensure; bis death. The following cxtrnct fromtbo WaJu'ng Urn ''Editorial ' Correspondence' of the Chester Co., Pa., Republican is so pcrt-ncnt to the hour that wo give it a prouii-nout pkoc in our columns, nnd entreatour readers t lay to heart the counsel it con Washington, D.C., Jan 8.18G4. Ono of the most earnest-minded Unionists I have met here or elsewhere (a native ot Kentucky, but for many years a resi dent of Iowa) called at my lodgings just before. the Christmas holidays, aud said bo came to me as an editor to mention a mat ter which ho thought every newspaper iH the land should uotice as a rock on which our tempest-tossed ship of state was more in danger of being wrecked than almost any other. It was the widely dissmninateu aud entertained opinion that lt the viar ttop when it wuld, the institution otlav-ery was dead. He thought that no more falfe or miscbievons idea was abroad, and his fear was that the loyal men of the country, through newspapers and other wise, wcro impregnating the publio mind with this erroneous opinion. This gentleman is thoroughly acquainted with the en tire mental statue of slaveholders as a body and says there is no class at the present time more busily engaged in circulating the notion that slavery ia iireooverubly dead, than these men. They know that ft patched up poa 30 would enablo athem to heal the wounded snake, giving it power to again fasten its deadly fangs on the na-tious heart, causing eur children to bo the iuheritors of a curse which would bring the stream of strife, desolation aud fraternal bloodi-shcdding to their thresholds, as it has brought all these deplorablo evils to ours. This man pleads with tho voico and heart of a putriet, that the pcoplo should not be deceived inte the belief that slavery isdeak. lie avers that it is not dead that it bos still within it abundant vitality to recover from its wounds, au-: bo as tyrannical and insolent in the future as it has been in tho past. I take the word and the advico of one intimately acquain ted, with this brutalizing institution, and in this correspondence call upon our friends the true and the loyal, tocontinue to strike bird and telling blows at the writhing reptile, until the tail gives out tho last muscular twitch with the going down of the sun of the rebellion. For Heaven's sake, let us not be affrighted from a high and patriotie purpose by the bowl of trait' orous demagogues. The blood and treas-ura necessary to purchase anew the liber tie of our country have been well nigh- spout, and if we falter now, in tie very hour of triumph, there is no plummet will ever fathom the debts of our national deg. radatioo. Let us all say, no peace, no compromise, no conservative diplomacy short of the well ascertained death of si a v. ery. In this result is involved the happU noss and the prosperity of our country. When men venture to assert that shivery and freedom hav lived peaceably togother in this nation, they assert what is nottruo From tho beginning there has been con stant conflict between the two antagonistic principles, until at lost it breaks out into a war of moro frightful proportions than any other that ba ever convulsed the world. Garrison's Liberator and the Charleston Mercury were not the causes of the war; it was the eUrnal animosity in the htarts of freedom against a human being wearing tho chains of slavery, and the intent in the bosom of the tyrant that those chains should be worn, that brought about the clash and the conflict of war; aud theso antagonisms will bring it ou again if we fail to cut out the cancer and ca uteri jo the wound.

To day a boy wtih dirty face, Rushed by me at a furious pace, Hi hat was off, his coat wo eld, A poor protection from the cold; And as he elbowed through the crowd, This boy anng out in accents loud, "Tho Forty Sixtli has come again, Ilurruh! boys, yonder come the train." I met a gray haired man, his cane lie left at home; said he, "the pain Which kept me yesterday in bed, Is gone tO'dny," his hoary bead lie lifted high; "I want to 'see Mj son," and then with childish glee He clapped his hands for very joy, ' Dowu in the rauki ho saw his boy. A little girl came skipping by, A joyous light ws in her eye, ller hat was swinging on her arm, Her shawl was off, for she was warm, "The Forty S'Jtth has come," she cried, I(r little heart was full of pride, For there with sword and sash all on, Safe home again was brother John. Then hand iu hand two little folk, The youngest scarcely yet could talk, Came prattling on, their tiny feet Were little used to roam the street, "Suy, little oucs, whome do you seek?" "Our Pa," said one, in aeceuta weak, "Please lift me up, for I'm soBmall, I cunuot see my pa at alL" Back iu the crowded, noisy town, I know a heart, ah! more than one, That weeps to day, that sad lone heart, In this rejoiciug takes no part; Her boy came home three months ago, And she, peor mother, sad and slow, Went out to meet him; aud that duy, A coffiu in her parlor lay.

Very respectfully, JOILN BROUGH. A Dancing Party In Norway. Soon we beard a sound resombling the yells of a pig- This was a vio.in. It was tcoouipauisd by a noise resembling the beat ting of a flour barrel, which, wo found proceeded from tho heel of the musioian ivho had placed a woodeu board under his oft foot for the purpose of beating time vith effect. He thus, as it were, played ho fiddle and beat the drum at the same iuio. Round him the young men an J nai Jens formed a ring, aud began to dunce There was little talking, and that little was in an undertone. They wont to work with u'.-snet gravity and decorum Scarcely a laa?h was heard nothing approachiug to a theat during the . whole . eight; sti'l they joyed themselves througly. I havo codcuM whatmrif that. Ti e nature nt tliul dunce was somewhat incomprehensible. It seemed ns if thu ehinf object of the young men was to jxhibit their agility by every species ol impromptu ioud and r fliug, of which tho h imnn frame is enable including the rather desperate feat of dashing thomselve-i flat upon the ground The principal care of tho girls pceuiud to be to keep out of the way of tho Uhmi, uud to avoid being killed by a frantic kick, or felled by a raudom blow. Hut thu desper ute features in each dance did nut appear at Crut. Every hum began by seizing Lit partner's baud, uud dragging her round the circle, ever nnd nnou twirling nroun I violently with ouo arm, and catching her round tho waist with the other, iu order, as it appeared to mo, to save her from an untimely end1! To this treatment tho fi ir damsels submitted, with pleased thou-li bashful looks. JSiitfuou the uieu flung tlicui off. nnd they went at it on thoir owl sccouut; Vut thoy kept up a sort of revol- iug course round their partners, like sate-litcs encircling their separate ?uns. Presently tho satclitcs assumed some of the .characteristic of tho comet. Thoy rusbtd about the circle in wild, erratic courses; they leaped into tho uir, and while iu that position shipped tho uics of their font with both hands. Should any one deem this Hti easy fnt let him try it. Thou they became a little umro ssiio, and a waltz or something like it, was got up. It was really pretty' and somo of the movements were graceful; but tlm wild spirit of the glous re-entered the men ratner suddenly. The females were expelled from the ring altogether, aud ihey youths braced themselves for a little really heavy work; they flung and huriod thein selves about like maniacs, stool on th:ir heads and walked ou their hands iu short becarao a company of acrobats, yet always kept up a sympathetic feeliug for time with the music- But not a man, woman, or child there gave vent to his nr herfeeliug in laughter! They smiled; thoy coiumei.t ed iu a soft tono; they looked happy nay lam convinced thy wcro happy bu' they did not laugh. Once only, did they give way to noisy mirth, nnd that was when an aspiring youth (after having made the nearest possible approach to suicide) walkod round thccircleou his bauds aud shook bis feet in the air. We left them after a time, in the full swing of a prosperous manufactures of enjoyment", and walked home, ubout two o'clock in the morning, by brilliaut daylight. Good ords.
