Northern Gasconadjc versus Southern
Dollars.?It seems passings strange that our
Northern contemporaries are so oldivious that
the very State, which they so profusely abuse,
is for her sila one of the best customers the
Northern cities can boast of.
At this very moment a large number of our
citizens are'absent in Northern cities investing
South Carolina money in the purchase of their
fall goods.* Yet the representatives of the press
in those cities, where the bulk of our cash is expended,
are the foremost in sneering and jeering
at os. Here is a specimen of the estimation
Sooth Carolina is held in by the Philadelphia
Evening Bulle/itt, the organ of the mercantile
interests in that city:
" War.?South Carolina will, it is supposed,

ately after the dissolution of the Union, which
is to lake place six weeks after the re-assembling
of the Nashville Convention, which will
be in six weeks after the adjournment of Congress,
which will be after the admission of Calilornia,
the settlement of the Texas boundary,
and the passage of innumerable acts, now ini
pdratively demanded. All Northerners disposed
to volunteer, are advised to get their villainous
salt-petre compounds, their guns, pistols
-And swords ready to meet the invading army
under-General Rbett The naval force of South..
Carolina, consisting of a fleet of oyster boats
and soows, commanded by the admiral-of the:
Charleston 'Merccny, is expected to. sail fromBeaufort
Harbor, under convoy of the gn?at
Sea Serpent It is expected that it will bike
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York as soon as news arrives that the invading
army of Texas has conquered the territory of
New Mexico, if not sooner/'
This is highly complimentary. But doubtless
the merchants of Philadelphia would not
thank their oigan, were " the Admiral of the
Charleston Mercury" to set an embargo on all
Northern paper, and also enjoin his readers to
divert their custom for the future from Philadelphia.
In sober earnestness, the only mode to bring
these Northerners to their senses is to abstain
Iram dealing with them altogether. A little enterprise
only is wanting for South Carolina to
manufacture for- herself all that is requisite for
home consumption. We have money?we have
e*ery facility?all that is wanting is energy.?
Let as only try the experiment, and Northern
gaseooade will as quickly evaporate, as the dollars
faom their poaches. . .

Wa*hi5GTon, Aug. 8, 1850.?Privilege of
\ke House of Representatives.?This morning,
a stout, dark-reddish looking man, having black
kinky hair, with aboy about eight years of age
at his Bide, of a similar complexion, but whose
hair was more inclined to curl, attracted much j
attention. There wag general inquiry as to
who the personage was, and it was soon whispered
that he was from Hay ti, in the character
of a diplomatist, probably; and again, that he
was a West Indian, on a tour of pleasure. The
doorkeeper and one of bis assistants are required,
by the rules, to admit none to the Hall but'
those who are privileged, and seeing him, it was
-their duly to inquire by whom he was introduced.
We happened to be near, and heard lnm
respond to an inquiry Ithat be was in the ball
by the courtesy of a gentleman from Ohio. It
is certain that he was not the representative of
a foreign court,'for he was invited to depart?
He politely did so, and in plain good English
? ? 11 ,
said ue wquju not remain 11 nis presence was
disagreeable. Taking his boy by the hand, he
made a tbw bow in passing Mr. Giddings, and
in a few minutes was among the out-side barbarians.
Whether the color of his skin was
objectionable, or his complexion excited a suspicion
as to caste or race, he being brought in
by Mr. Giddings, we are unable to say. Certain
it is, like the unclean spirit, he was cast out.

HON. JOHN. McQUEEN.
The course of the Hun. John McQueen onr
immediate Representative in Congress has been
such as to meet the hearty approbation of his
constituents. He is firm, faithful and watchful,
in the discharge of bis duties, and this part
of the State has bad no cause to regret that, it
has committed to his keeping its honor and interests.
Having every confidence in his integrity
and ability and believing that he has not given
a vote since he has been a member of the
House which is not approved of, by his constitpotifs

ing perfectly satisfied that the unanmous support
he will receive, will testify the appreciation
in which be is held dy the people of this Congressional
District. We make the nomination
with the full knowledge that Gen. McQueen,
belongs to that class of southern statesmen who
are denounced by Mr. Clay, as .traitors?men
who prefer disunion to dishonor, and who believs
that their allegiance is first due to the
State of which they are citizens, and not to the
foreign government at Washington. If it were
not bo, if he were not such a traitor, lie would
ooyipd could not represent this Congressional h
District, for we have no use for any man, who
does notieel that he owes an allegiance to the
State whose servant he is, paramount to all
others. If holding such doctrines make Gen.
McQueen a traitor he will at least have the
ratisfaction of knowing that all Iris constituents
are traitors also.?Georgetown Observer.

try a mixture ofsolphur, and sugar of lead and

and bathe the hair twice a day for a week, or

THE TERRITORIES OF THE UNITED
STATES.
By reference to our Telegraphic column,
our readers will jierceive that the California
Bill passed the U. S. Senate yesterday by a
majority of sixteen. Not at this moment being
informed as to what amendments may have
been made to it, we must for. the present defer
any comments. But as many persons are, owing
to the confused state in which Congress
has placed our Territories, ignorant of the domain'
now organized and unorganized in the U.
Suites, not included within State government,
we avail ourselves of some valuable information
we find in the Philadelphia livening Bulletin,
of the 9th inst., to shed somo light on the
subject.
. "Our Pacific possessions extend from the
49th degree of North latitude to the 32 1-2 degree,.
and from the coast of the Pacific, on an
Averse longitude of 124 degrees, to the Rio
Grande, on an average of 106 degrees. This
would inake an extent of Seventeen and a halt
degrees of latitude and eighteen of longitude,
and in square miles about 16,000,000.
" Oregon is bounded by the 49th degree of
North latitude upou the South, (the upper boundary
of California,) and the Rocky Mountaius
upon the East. The longitude traversed by
these mountains, as the Eastern limits of the
territory, is from the 109th degree to the 111th
degree, following a crocked line from point to
point
"California, as proposed to be admitted as a
State, is bounded, as stated, on the North by
California, on the West by the Pacific, on the
South by the 32d degree of latitude, which is
the line of bouudary between Mexico and the
United States, and on the West by the Colorado
river, which is near the 115 1-2 degrees of
longitude, and parallel therewith, until we
strike the 35th degree of latitude, thence in a
direct line westerly until the line intersects the
summit of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and
<ilnn<r Riiid mountains, in an almost oar
allel direction with the 120th degree of longitude,
uutil the line again strikos the Southern
boundar y of Oregon, or the 42d degree of north
latitude.
"Utah is bounded on the west by California,
on the south by the dividing ridge (or 37th degree
of latitude,) which rises between the waters
that flow into the great Basin and those
which flow into the Gulf of California, on the
.east by the same ridge, which forms its curvature
froin the angle where the 37th degree ot
latitude crosses the 113th degree of longitude,
running thence in a curve until the line intersects
the 111th degree of lougitude, and thence
up said'-degree of longitude to the lower boundary
of Oregon, which is the limit of the terri
tpry, as: bounded on the north.
"Colorado Territory is that section of country
bpunded upon the lower west portion by
the lower eastern bouudary of California, and
the Colorado river, and the south by the dividing
line between Mexico and the U. States, on
the east by the Sierra Madra, or western limits
of Mexico, and on the north by the curved ridge
or 27th degree of latitude, which constitutes
the southern boundary of Utah, until the line
extends to the 111th degree of longitude,
whence the territory extends to the 42d degree
of longitude, aud is farther bounded north by
the same.
" New Mexico, as its limits arc defined, is
bounded upon the West by the territory of Colorado
, on the South by the 23d degree of latitude,
on the East by the one hundredth degree
of longitude, and on the North by the Arkansas
river and 42d degree of North latitude, [The
Arkansas river extends in a curvature line from
this degree of latitude, down the 107th degree
of longitude a short distance, and thence in a
diverging line to the 100th degree of longitude,
whence it is intersected by the 39th degree of
north Intitule.]
" The Indian Territory is bounded on the
South by the Arkansas river, thence in a
straight line South, to the Red River, which
bounds it remotely near the 34th deg. of lat., on
the West by the Ren River, on the North by
Nebraska, and on the East by the States of Arkansas
and Missouri.
" Nebraska is bounded on the West by the
eastern limits of Oregon and upper angle of
New Mexico, on the North by the 40th degree
of latitude, (or line dividing the United States
from Canada,) on the South by the Indian Territory,
and on the East by the State of Iowa,
and Territory of Mincsota.
7'jJfinesota is bounded upon the west by Nebraska,

on tliB Sopth by the State of Iowa, on the ea3t
by fha State of Wisconsin and Lake Superior,

Momentous events are following each other in

and to all true lovers of the Union?but the death

Pearce's Bill for the settlement of the Texas
Boundary is what the South should never submit
to. It matters not, whether Texas does or not
?it is a measure affecting- alike the entire South.
The General Government gives Texas, as one feature
of the Bill, ten millions of dollars, to surrender
a portion of her Territory?for no other purpose
than to make free-soil of. Now let it be remembered,
that of this 10,000,000, about seven is
paid by the Southern States. We then (the Southern
States) buy u.jra large portion of slave territory,
to turn it into free-soil, to vote, to act, and
perhaps to fight against us. This is, to say the
least, "poor policy." But further still. By this
measure Texas is forever prevented from uniting
with the South in any general measure of resistance
to the aggressions of the General Government
If she resists, she loses the money, and the
result is not hard to foretell.
Next comes California. The Bill for her admission
has passed the Senate 36 to 18. The just
ness of this?the claim that California has to admission,
and the aggression of this act upon the
South, are unheard of prodigies of monstrosity,
After battling for this Western Ophir. After bleaching
the hills of Mexico with our dead, and filling
the brightest page of American History to gain this
territory?-where cowards skulked, and basely
threw the weight of war upon our shoulders?
now, they, by the act of an unprincipled majority,
are appropriating to themselves the territory we
fought to obtain?by one fell swoop of legislative
chicanery, they seize the key to the rich commerce
of the Pacific, and hold it by the rule of might gives
right. Thank God, it is only a political mig\\t.?
And if the day must come when we try our title
by "wager of battle," we have no fears for the reTko
nnmimiiriiinf is an alinlitirm marhinp?
whose main employment is to forge manacles for
the South. The constitution is trampled under
fooh'&nri the Union is held out as the mess of pottage
with which they hope to buy our birth-right
It is time we knew the Essaus of the South?let j
us make an issue and unveil them. Let us plant
our bayonets upon the Missouri Compromise line
?and let their bristling points be the platform upon
which we receive the fir6t liroe-soiler who would
como south of that line.
Treason?Traitor*.
We are not a little surprised that a man who
oiiQe had the reputation which Mr. Clay enjoyed
should have made such an indiscriminate useo'
these opprobious terms and so inappropriately applied
as he did to honest men. Certainly his vocabulary
of proper terms was not ,at hand?or it
may be the old man was mad. Certainly the movement
which he made on a late occasion in the Sen- i
ate Chamber was as much out of place as that of
the little Foote which attempted to kick our delegates
for the expression of their views on the
Southern question alter tiiey had attended the
Nashville Convention, at the Ratification meeting
held in the Court House (of the Kershaw District.)
To Clav, Benton, Foote, and the firm, we say if
to maintain our rights now? after forbearance has
ceased to be a virtue in the language of the immortal
Patrick Henry, M If this be Treason, make
the most of it"
The Democratic Review,
For August, is on our table, embellished with a
portrait of the Hon. Robert McLane, member of
Congress from Maryland. The number before us
leads oil' with a local matter, relating to the question
of United States Senator from New York, in
which the claims of the present incumbent, Hon.
Daniel S. Dickinson, are strongly urged for a reelection.
The position of the editor in presenting
this matter is evidently that of party?claiming
lor his champion the merit of being " honest, ca
paoie, ana lanniui to xne toneuiunvii. iteiieving,
as he obviously does, that the re-ascendancy
ol'the National Democratic Party will tend to
settle the sectional strife, and quiet the local murmu
rings which threaten our glorious country,
" while" (as lie fays) " tlw Democratic Party, national
in its cliaiacter, catholic in its creed, and
patriotic in its course of action, successfully contended
for the rights of the States, for the maintenance
of constitutional guaranties, and for the
assertion of a broad and national Americanism,
which, knowing no section, disregarding geographical
lines of division and sustaining the great
common and equal rights of all the members of
the confederacy?claiming for each what is conceded
to all?resisted and arrested these agitations,
preseivcd the Union intact, and carried for

career of prosperity, honor and renown, unexampled
in ihe history of nations. The Wilmot proviso,
the last effort of combined abolitionism and partyism
was thrown upon the country in the midst of
a war, in which the American arms?not the chivalry
or patriotism of the North or the South, but
of all sections and portions of the Republic?had
achieved a series of victories of matchless brilliancy,
and had won a deathless name. Its design
was to embarrass the Administration in the prosecution
of the war, to prevent the conclusion of
an honorable and advantageous peace, and to
clog the valuable acquisition of territory?an incident
of the war and the peace?with conditions,
intended to disparage the Administration, afford
aid and comfort to the common enemy, and fur> :
nish recruits and means to recover the political
power of the country for the combined whig and
abolition foices."
The Review endorses Mr. DickintJOh's views on
the so called Compromise bill, which dose we rejoice
was not as greedily swallowed dowli as the
Sarsaparilla of old Dr. Jacob Townsend, or as
the prescriber and his consultation supposed it
would be. ,
We find the word "Southern Ultraism," in this
article. We take occasion to intimate to the editor
of the Democratic Review, and to all Northern
democratic, whig, free-^>il and every other sort of
editor, that true "Southern Ultraism," or Southern
"Treason," as lately defined by old Mr. Clay,
is fast becoming universal at the South, as the
"point of honor"?not confined, as some Northern
nationalists vainly imagine, to the " fanatics and
zealots"?or excited in the minds of the people
by aruui demagogues, ~or me appeals 01 crany
and venal aspirants to distinction"?but the free,
united, will of the uncontrolled, unterrified democracy?those
who have "hitherto cherished
with a fond and earnest devotion, that great bond
of Union," and who are yet willing to do so, if
they can, consistently with their own rightsand honor.
It is the voice of the people? v. ,,
" A bold peasantry, their country's pride, '
Which if destroyed can never be supplied."* t
The Review has heretofore spent its fury upon
such ultra abolitionists as Seward and his faction,
leaving the question until now, untouched, in the
shape of the California admission, "Compromises,"
"Adjustments, &c." We were not certain
whether or not the Report of the Committee of 13
met with a favorable response from that quarter.
Mr. Dickinson playing a considerable part in that
farce explains the matter. Of course, the great
Nationality of the Review could discover no just
cause for a Southern Convention. This was not
to be expected. A paper may profess to be this
01 that, but it is common that opinions are prejudiced
from the connection and force of circumstances.
How can we expect a Northern Press
to give us justice ? To belabor the red-hot abolitionists
is not enough now-a-dajs to satisfy Southern
people?( UUras or Traitors")?to heap abuse
and multiply imprecations upon Davy Wihnot and
his scheme, and then advocate measures similar
in their character, and precisely the same in principle,
shaped as an "Adjustment," is exceedingly
inconsistent, and is wanting in good reason and
common sense. W.

TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION
The Pennsylvania correspondent of the St
Louis Republican, May 2d, relates the follow*
ing occurrence:
A young man recently made his escape from
the galleys at Tolouse. He was strong and
vigorous, and soon made his way aorosa^the
country and escaped pursuit He arrived'the
next morning before a cottage in an open field,
and stopped to beg something to eat, and. con*
cenlmcnt while he reposed a little. But he
found the inmates of the cottage in the greatest
distress. Four little children sat trembling in
a corner; their mother was weeping and tearing
her hair; and the father walking the floor in
agony. The galley slave asked what waa the
matter, and the father replied that they were
that morning to be turned out of doors because
they could not pay the rent. "You see me
driven in despair,' said the father; my wife and }
little children without food or shelter, and I
without the means to provide for them." Hie
convict listened to this tale with tears of sympathy,
and said :
" I will give you the means. I hare but just
escaped from the galleys, whoever secure* and <
takes batk ah escaped pnStmer, is entitled to a
reward of fifty francs. Ho>w much does your
rent amount to ?" > '
