-A southern lady lately broughtto Albany to wait upon her, a girl about 18 yearsofage, whom she called her slave. She had fed and clolhed her all her life, but the ungrateful hussy left her to waii upon herself This conduct bo aficcted the feelings of the lady, that she was dcsirous of renewing intcrcourso with her, and she sent a constable with a warrant to not.ify her to that effect; but tho waiter coult not be found. (CThe President and his officials dovvnwards were on the race ground at Washington to witness the sports. Senator Barrow of Louisiana, and Mr. Botts of Virginia, left their seats at Washington, and ' relieved the country' by officiating as judges at the race between Boston and Fashion on Long Island - their eight dollars perday gomg on of course. Immense surns were staked on' the issue- said to amount to $250,000. The soutli lost-and who can teil how many slaves wiÜ be sold from their families and friends to pay the etake? The National Intelligencer sums it up in aline - "the northern horse with southern principies, victorious." On this Leavitt says: "Certainly it ia so, the Intelligencer is right, horse-racing is a Southern institution - it could not live at all at the North if it were not for southern patronage and society and influence. Where wil! you find a man of genuine northern principies that will countenence the horse-race? It stands along vvifh cockfighting, gouging, duelling, slave breeding, woman-whipping, babe-sellino', and otherkindred practices-jforming the catalogue of ' Democratie Institutions' by which onc half of this Union is made a land of pollution and blood, and is tast sinking into barbarisin and ruin.
