If you do th on will commit the gravest of all controve pa earth, and the most important concern ski ciety; to the youth of the country, thpy wilIl go there; and the cause of a re p a ybe decided by ihe judgment of youth puine. Will gentlemen tell me that the President was not to interpose and save them from such a contest? Sir, he would be guilty of-; criminal dereliction fduty if he were got to interpose; for, by interpdsitig, he e.n uave them from-he consequences of this issue. I do not advise him to fire the Federal gun, of which the Senator from New Hampshire spoke.- God knows, as I have said, one drop of blood shed in civil strife in this country may not only dissolve this Union, but may do-wonA.- Sir, I havesueemt. dence in the good sence of tie countsy that I believe Republifinatitiutons ight- survive the pres ent Union. Really it is broken already; for the spirit which cherished it has- been -xtinguishedi and the very altars upon which we. ought to worship have been profaned by false fires. 1. have been accustomed only to look at this Umion to bo preserved by observing the obligations of the Federal Constitution, ana the honor of com pacts, std as to be maietained by the good faith of that old Puritan - school which formed .the Constitution, and did- not have quite- as much sentimentality as some of their successors. I do not say what kind of successors they are. Sir the men of those days had a hardy morality, which dealt with events--as they were. They had a wisdom which knew how to accommodate itself to eircumstances, and did .not lift them selves so high thatthey saw more than others, and sought etherdl regions because the. earth was the. good for them. Sir, it is not the purest bird which always seeks the highest regions of air, The vulture, it is said, lives in the regions of eternal snow, and yet it can, descend from its etheral height to live on garbage below. The President of the United States is under the highest and most solemn obligations to in terpose; and, If I were to indicate the manner in which he should interpose in Kansas, I would point oft. the old common law procea. I would serve a warranton Sharp's rifles ; and if Sharp's rifles did not answer the summoms, and'come into court-on a day certain, or If- they resisted the sheriff, I would summon the possecomiWuis, and I would have -Colonel Summer's regiment to be part oftatposw comitatus. -The men in Kansas may be deluded. There may be good men among them. I do not wish for. an out break. I think there are many men among them who on reflection will give over their delusions. I am not among those who hate ay man because lie differs from me;. but I do despise thvso who are willing to commit others to a contest in which they themselve3 will escape. the conse quences. Mr. President, I shall not pursue thas. subject further. I have rcviewe4 what has been said so far as.1 thought.proper to allude to it, and now I conclude with this . remark:. that if we are to be drifing in this.w--y into a dissolution of the Union, I would that it should be dissolved to-morrow-I wish my -words measured-in preference to living in a Union without the pro tection of a Constitution which gives me an equality. I should tell my people so to-morrow. Yes, sir, the moment you say this Union is not under the control, and the influence, and the operative influence of the Constitution of the country, I say to South Carulina, " Go out of the Union, and masks arrangements with others to form such a government as ase rap liie im with honor and dignsity." ... -A2DNlSSION OF NEW STITE, Ihow much tolerance does the South, the parenst of the new States, exhibit, in permitting theam to enter the Union with constitutions pro. haibitinug slavery ! They ask to participate in all the prineiples of the old thsirteen, aying, at the same time,-*'We are holier than you ;" "The blot-of slavery is not on our escutcheon." To the present slave States, they, in effect, say, '-You,-it ja true, have given to the Union, or have been chiefiy instrumental .in acquiring for- the Ujnions,,#l her territories; but you are a wicked, degraded race, and mqst not containinate.us with your vile institution of slavery." If .the new States were within the Frigid Zone, where the negro would be at tall times useless, it would only add wantonness to the insult, for the pro hibhtion would be unnecessary. 'rho prohibi.. tion of slavery is always either a wanton insult, or a gross wrong to the South. The Federal Governmenst, as the agent of the States, may or may not admit tnew States into the Union, as it p'leasesa. In admitting them, it is bound to do equal justice to the North and to the South. It dues perpetrate gross and palpable injustice. to the South, when it permits a forward child to be remitted to the rights of manhood, when its ve ry petitiohn is accompanied with insult and wrong to one of its puarents. if we of the South admit that slavery is im moral or intexpedient ins new States, we connojt maintain that it is right anywhere. We thereby vield the great principle fur which aibolition con jends, and furmsi-h it a lever and fulcrum with which to upset our domestic institutions. Here after, ins admitting any Northern State prohibit ing slavery, it should be with anm undcrastanding n the part of the South, that ." it submits to admissioni, not a a matter of right, but for the wake of peace, and because it will not quarrel about a useless abstraction," Without some such procedure on the part of the South, thes ad mission of any State excluding slavery, is the assertion thuat slavery is morally wrong and in expedient. Whenever the South takes thse distinct ground, that her institutions are righteous, honuorable and expedient, a.-- thdse of the North, she will find her defence'easy. UntIl she does this, untill she asserts'her equality in morality, as well as in righst, she ini-ites, nay, she justifies, the attacks of abolition.-Riebnond LEnquirer. NEGao Drn.oMATisrs.--The London corres pondent of the New York Herald says: "The negro representative of Soulouque made hsis appearance this week at the Queen's levee, and in spite of all the affected symupathy ohf the English for free "uniggers," he was avoided as something "odions and not to be endured." A good joke of our Mitister at l'aris, Mr. Mason, luas comue over here. He was at a Court ball lately at the Tuilleries, and his eyes happened to likht on the Charge d'Affaires of Soulouque in -lfrance, a fine looking black. Some one ob whatin his steady gaze, said: "WVell, Mr. Mason, wh* do you think of yonder bltackee in his em broidc red coat ?" 'Think," replied Mr. Mason, still regarding the negro with the eye of a con isoisseur, 'why, clothes and all, I think that fellow is worth a thousaed -dollars." This is -"Old Virgiuny' all over, and every body is langh inig at the bon mot." WAsuINGTo CT I 18O.-Onle eanuscarely credit the description of Washington City, as Mrs. Adams found it in 1801: ."

NoBLE GENEROSITY IN THE CAUSE oF KANSAS. -It is with profound pridu and gratitication, says the Spirit of the South, that we announce that'our liberal, patriotic and puiblic spirit fellow citizen,*Col. B. F. Treadwell, has given the mu nificent sum 'of one thousand .dollars in aid of 3raj. Buforfs Kansas enterprise. Col. Tread. well is s wealthy planter, ardently southern in all his'impulse, sentiments and principles, and it is not often that the.ability and the will to do a noble act, are.no fortunately unitod in the same person. 'Such devoted patriotism cannot fail to endear him, not only still more to his immediate neighbors and friends, bat to southern hearti everywhere, and especially to our gallant breth reu who are maintaining the struggle for our rights in that fair land against -the lawless hordes of the Massachunetts Aid Societies. But Col. Treadwe'l, not content to open his purse to the cause of Kansas, designs, also. to give it the benefit of his personal services. t-e will, himself, with such faiends as he can rally, accompany .Maj. Buford to the Terrjtory im April, and it is hartly becessary to add that du ring his stay there, which will probably be pro tracted through several months, the full measure of his influence and labors will be expended in upholding that southern standard, which we trust is destined, ere long, to float in triumph over that magnificent domain. Certainly, if the South held many such heruic spirits as Buford and Treadwell, the result would not adwit of doubt. MIXED CoTToN.-The frequent complaints which we hear induce us again to call the atten tion of planters to the existence of an evil which we have often before adverted to, and which loudly calls for a remedy. We allude to the culpable negligence of many whose duty it is to attend to the packing of cotton, as shown by the frequent discovery of mixed bales-viz: bales found to contain two, three or more qualities and colors. This negligence often leads to vexatious reclamations, and sometimes to ex penl ice law-suits, a it frequenatly happens that the discovery is not made until the Cotton reaches the han'ds of the manufacturer. at a distant market. But it alsoi frequently happens that the discovery is matde here, by drawing samples from different parts of a bale. In such cases the Cot ton is thrown back on the factor's hands as un merchantable, and when re-sold as mixed Cotton, the factor can seldom obtain more than the mar ket value of the lowest quality found in the ale. Besides all this,.when the irregular pack ingis once discovered, as it necessarily must be somewher'and at some time, it th~rows discredit upon the planter's crop generally, and thus ope rates to his disadvantage. It also introduces confuion into a most important branch of trade, and one thaut can only be sonducted with facility and economy upon the basis of good faith in the honesty and integrity of the planter. These irtues being accorded to him, he owes it to him self, to his factor and to his purchaser to exer iae more eare and vigilance over those who hvre his interests in charge-N. 0.

TuE DEATH PANALTX IN GEORGA.-A bill, giving to the Judges of Superior Courts the power to commute the punishment for capital offences from death to iumprisonment for life in the penitentiary, should thme jury recommend the prisoner to the mercy of the court, has passed the House of Representatives of Georgia by a majority of '72 to 25. Some years ago, a wealthy citizen of this conty, named Carter, emancipaned about eigh ty slaves, and colonized them in Bedford county, Pennsylvania. In addition to the expences at tending their transportation, each negro was furnished with the suma of $250, wherewith to begin life in a free State. On Monday last a genteman from Pennsylvania arrived in this place, in search of further aid for their support, atatig that nine-tenths of them were already uon the parish, whilst the residne were fast verging to pauperism. This is a sad commtentary on the misguided efforts of many Southerners, who have from time to time essayed to elevate the Africani through means of emancipation and colonization in the Northern States.-Warrenton (Va.) Flag. RE-NOMINATloN OF GEN. PIERCE-The indi cationsr are-notwithstanding all the "noise and confusion"-that P're,.ident Pierce will come into the Cincinnati Convention-with a larger num ber of votes than Buchanan, Douglass, or any other person-and wvith a very fair prospect of being re-nomninated. Hence, extraordinary efforts are making here, and elsewhere, to take New Hampshire, his own State, the coming election, in order to demonstrate that he can carry it. The Southern Demornray cannot now very safely throwv overboasrd Pierce, and take up with Buchanan, certainly not without piuting him on a platform, that will kill him in the North-.whe as Pierce can be retaken without any other Southern Platform than the one heo is and ever has been standing upon. ft the Mouthern De mocracy men throw him overboard, they not on ly show ingratitude, but infidelity to one of the stoutest of their protectors ini the Northern States. It is not probable that they will tI us desert an ally to whom they are bound in honor as well as in principle.-New Y'ork Express.

If any persons deserve a reward from Government, it is the women who raise tip sons to fight hier battles. When we consider the peculiar circumstances of this case, we find much in it to excite admiration, and to commend it to the favorable attention of Congress. It is hard enough for a woman to surrender one son that ste has fondled on her knees to the dreadful vicisitudes and trials of war, tbut when one is found who has the Roman frtitnde to give up alltof her son darge enough to bear arms, and their father too, the countray is bound 'to reder her some testimoniat of its respect and grati KANSAS.

EDITOR: In your last issue you say, the rea cause of the opposition in our State to sending Dele gates to the Cincinnati Convention, " may not, afrei all, have been fairly set forth' and you inclinwto as cribe this opposition to the fearentertaind by some that hereby a new course of affairs, and a new line of iolicy would be instituted among us &c. - Allow me to say, that in charging such motives upor the oplfosers of the Cincinnatti movement, you do in justice to many of your political friends, who have the misfortune to diter from you on this subject. While conceding to yourself and to those who thini with you, the utmost integrity of purpose, and a ful share of patriotism, a large and respectable portion of your fellow-citizens, with equal honesty, I presume oppose this measure upon principle-upon high grounds of public policy: because, indeed, they believe the Convention will be a gross usurpation upon the rights of the people, and utterly subversive of the principles of the Federal constitution. . Would you not pity the pusillanitmtty of them, wlio, tbus believing, shoulk still participate in the movement, merely to swell the numbers of those who are inclined that way, or from any hure notions of a temporary expediency? Your generous impulses would, I know, prompt you to say -if this be your belief, keep, I pray you, aloof frou the movement. To a Convention properly organized, upon the plan suggested by our State Convention in 1844 at Columbia many of us, might under the present peculiar circtimt stances of the country, interpose no objection ; but, to my humble conception, it w, uld he recreancy to out political faith, and.to what we deem the-true inter ests of the State, were we, with our present notions to urge or consent to, a representation of the State in the Cincinnati Convention as that body is now to be constituted. I have advanced, Sir, a bold proposition relative to this Convention. Is it true? Does it usurp the righti of the people, an-] subvert the principles of the consti. tution ! If it exercises power not sanctioned by law and does not fairly and authoritatively represent the views and wishes of the people, then even you must admit its usurpat.on. Now take the Convention in its very incipiency-in the primary-assemblies in the Districts and Counties of the several States, in which it takes its origin Who bring it into being? Is it the people generally by expressing their voice at the ballot-box, as they have a right to do, or by neighborhood meetings, ir which the sense of the meetings is taken by vote! No but two, three or four hundred persons, who assemble under some public call, and constituting themselvel the representatives of the party or District to whicl they belong, undertake to speak and act for the whole party or District. Have they a right thus to speal and act! Whence do they derive this right? N< such power is conveyed by the Constitution of ou a.% n Sta'e or of the United States, or by any body ol civil or muncipal law known in the land. There i no natural law that would authorize it. Those ab sent from those gatherings, being by far the most nu merous, have the same rights and interests at stake and have an equal right ti make known their view relative to those interests with those who may be pre sent. Why should others assume to speak for them when they can speak for themselves, and- yet choose to be silent? Will it be said, that, remaining silent when nbtified of an unauthorized proceeding, their Si lence is to be construed into assent! As well migh you claim general assent, to the action of two, thae or four hundred persons, who should irregularly as semble together, and proclaim new law touching th rights, property and welfare of the community i which they live. Questionis of property or of anypri vate intere'st involve no more than a great question c public policy like this. Yet in that case. who woul say, that the many, who remaini quietly al home trust ing to the safeguards of law and ,the constitut ion t prtect them, would be precluded from repudiating th acts of the few, atnd from refusing to be botund b ilem! It is an obvious principle of free, represents tie government, tthat no men, nor set of men, have right to speak and act for others,-unless authorized a to do-unless, in short, they have the express or ice plied assent of tnose to be represented. In the very outset, therefore, thtey n'hio assemble i the Court Ilouseas or elsewhere, professing to represer thc District or County without being delegated b the people at thte ballot-hox, or in full nehghbnrhoo gatherings where m'Ire opinion is to he asbertained, c tnder some oilier direct authority from the people get erally', assume to exercise power, which does not right fully belong to them. 'They, thterefore usurp the right of their Fellow-Citizens who remain at hume quietl attending to their business.. But foliow up thle action omf these original Delegatem Wen ass~imbled, they select, certain delegates their own to be sent to a mis-called State Couveniio at Clumbia. Thtere agatin these delegates of de gaes, send their chosen deleegates to the great Cintciri eati Convention; and they send them, uninstructed with full powver to choose from the whole expanse th union some man (proibably not even known b name to the people of the State) n~ho is to be th State's chioscn Candidate feor President. Thtus cigil men, who are delegates, of delegates who were theiz selves chosen by delegates, not htavinrgthie authority tepope to speak uind act for them, are permitted, itheir ownt judgtndguments and wills, toselect a Presideri tial Candidate for the people of South Carolina ; ant ye~t we are gravely told it is thes people who choose. Ti nominee is certaini to be the President if thte part he succesful, anid we are told th: State is bound vote for him-yet some seek to persuade us, that iih peoPle are all the while carrying out their owti wil From beginnting to end, thte people's voice has neve been regarded-their wishes never consulted. I choosing the greatest Officer of the Republic the pet pe do not ever deolare their choice through their ats ueori:cd agenits; A pi-ce of' political machineryi put in motion, which removes thtuse who choose fon degrees from thus who should authortze, and b which the whole political powver of the State in th hoice of President, witheutt the sanction of the pec ile, is placed in the hands of eighit irrespontsibe mces If this be ntot usurpation, tell mue what is usurpation. But further. At Cincinnati a hiost of motley politi ciatns assemble from various part of the Union undt the general totim, Demrocrats, but eatertaining ever shade of political opinion from the impious doctrine If the" higher law," and black Republicanl creed, the purer tenets of the genuine States Rights Schoo: Tlere is hut one ground of action in which these me an cordially unite, and thaot is the desire to seek ol ice and to appropriate themselves the spoils of part: onquest. But upon what principles is this edinverntion orgari ied? lDoes it give fair and equal representation the party, whose organ it assumes to becomei 0. the contrary, does it not violate the plainest principle of a correct and equal representation! States i which the Democratic party is gr-atly in the minorit (and hence can give no vote for the Democratic numi nee In the Electoral Col' ) are permitted to hay. greater represetitationt in ilns Cunventtion than States thoroughly. Democratic. New York, for example wtic is so split up into cca. .ading factions as to los entirely its democratic vote in tie -electoral College goes into the nominating Convention with 35 votes while Georgia, though giving a fuill vote to the demo e-ratic nominee, lhas only 10 votes. So Massachusett which is a whig State, anid does not vote at all fo the democratic nominee, lias 13 votes in the conven mion, while South Carolina, thoroughly Democratic lis but 8 votes. And Ohio, whose Democraey il deeply tainted with abolitioni, has in the conventiot 23 votes, while Alabama, strictly democratic, has on l9 votes. Thtus these three Northern States, al though rot casting a vote for the Democratic nominee yet go to the Cicinicnati Convention to select a demo cratic Candidate fur President, churming and enjoyinj ts right to cast 71 votes, while the thres Soiuthere Sttea named, which give teir whtole sirength to th, Democratic nominee, cast in the Conventioa only 2 votes. Upon what principle of ethics, of reasonor cow mon sense, should these States which do not vote fo thheDemocratic nominee, be allowed, in choosing then nominee, more than thrio* the power, given to the three Democratic States named, especially when iti admitted on all hands, that the nominee of' the Con vetion is to be the candidate of the party for Presi dent? I s it not palpable, that by this Convention Massachusetts, New York and Ohio, exercise ver: considerable power in electing the Democratic Presi det, ~hn upon every principle of eqnality and jus ti they should exercIse tnone in the Convenitioti, sino they can nse noite in the Electoral CollegeI q.ob..v st.....l fr..ie the iniqnity of the move Ment. Wile daegates from these ani.-do -rti( Iltates and othe~r at the North, 'are assistiag In tI, Cincinnati Convention to. nomin'ts a Cadidte fo, whom afterwards they will not Wi able .to vo , othe delegates froin the same States am holding'.ther Coit ventions, of oppsitepolitiral tendencies, t. nominate a.Presideqtal Candidate$or wlom their States .VA adtually xote. Tbese,.States therefore, &ilder the present organifgtons of Af;e'Coniention, by their num bers exercise a controlling influence in selecting the Candidates of both the great political parties of the union, w hen it is evident they can vote for but one. Im there no aurpalion in this I is there nothing-subsersive of the principles of the constitution I A gain. In the Cincinnati Convention, delegations will net be allowed to divide. The full vote of a State must be cast together, thou;h it he by a bare majority of the delegation. In the delegation of NeA York, for example, there may be fifteen for Ma PIERCE, and twenty for Ma. SEWARD, the notoriou abolitionist. Now the 15 votes will not be cast foi Ma. PIEaca, and the 20 votes, fur Ma. SEWARD, bul the whole 35 votes of the State will be given to Ala ScwA aD: thus, not only suppressing the wishesof the minority of fifteen, but actually forcing this minority to express and carry ont th, wishes of the majority Was ever injustice so monstrous palmed off upon a free and'intelligent people, untrammelled by the fet ters of party discipline ? Can South Carolinians, wh< have no party purposes to subserve, whose high ambi tion has always been to scan with Impartial eye the measures of government, and to expose the falacies o: a narrow party policy, countenance a Convention based upon principles so unjust and improper! Will they join with others, how much soever respected ant how nearly soever allied in interest and in feeling, t pull down the great bul-warks of the coustitution erected for the express purpose of affording Securit) and protection to the small and Southern States 1 I party ties among our Southern Sisters are so strong al to blind their eyes to the iniquities of this Convention or to entice them into its support despite its wrong ant injustice, for liberty's sake, let not our own people wh< have not the bonds of party to excuse them, be seduced to sustain sogreat an outrage upon their liber. ties. Rather let them occupy their former, indepen dent position, in which they may vote with Whil or Democrat, as the measures of each, in their impar tial judgment, may point to the good of the Country They who proclaim that political parties are blessing in alt free governments, should recollect, that thel are likewise the bone of those governments, and nee an antidote. To perceive how great wrong is done to our sectior of country by these nominating conventions, whice virtually elect the President of the United States, w4 have only to refer to the Provisions of the Constitu tion itself. In the clause providing for the Eleclimo of President and Vice President, that noble instrumen establishes a principle, which is of the last importance to the Southern States, and without which these States would never, perhaps, have ratified the Consti tution. By giving each State one vote it secures to South Carolina and other small States, under certait contitgencies, a voice tn the election of President o the United States as strong as that of the State o New York. But it is cnntended that the mode, as prescribed b] the Constitution, is too refined for.prsctice. This mal well be questioned. But admit it. Still the principl is a good one-why is it not adopted in the Conven tion I It is just and equitable: it is right and proper It is necessary for the protection of the smaller States and for preserving a just balance of power between thI varions States in the Presidential election- Why ha this principle been surrenderedi Thec question is ea sily answered. Our masters, the big States of the North, have demanded it. of us, and we leave yielded Yes it is the law-less wvork of the great numerical ma fjority of the union, overriding ithe Constitution, en e roaching upon the rights and liberties of the South ad infusing their arbiitrary, tyranical will into th politics and legislation of thce Country. Shame dot bleshame, to the Sothtern States, for their unmani sumjion to these encroachmrents on their Constitt tionat rights! IDeephy, deeply should Sooth Carolin blush for her historic reputation, should she abando Sher former, noble opposition to these irresponsibe malorganized Convetntions, and, by taking her sea in th~em, forever estop herself frotm combating tlh principles. upoen which they are based, aned thtereb Ibind herself to the great Car of Party, to be dragger withnut regard to prinediple or justice, into whateve measures, an unprincipled numerical miajonty ta choose to lead her. Will leer people be thtus seduce into a state of voluntary slavery from which theere es be tno escape, as they wall thereby lose the power au: thae spirit to resist it ? God fo'rbid !

The truth is, this is the secret of nany of th harges and bitter prejudices against lawyers, an it is based in the disposition of the frail hunan mini Nearly two thirds of the clients who enter a Ins offile, enter it with their feelings so bised again. their adversary, and so much in favor of their owl cause, that they are wholly ineapaeble of giving th truth of the maatters int dispute, or of relating the fact as they exist.

Cona sequently such men must be qualified, if any are, for the higheat and most honorable offices in the - State. They probably, from their very pursuits aro' better suited to great trusts and arduous public' duties than any other class of men. Thisthey know' full well (and if lawyers are human, they. are- not; without ambition) and this too is known tq.the com munity at large.. But ambition is nut peculiar to' lawyers, or even to the neost deserving and gifted For we know, that the icions and ignoran are often a,4 toweringin their aspiratio for plaeeand dis tinction, as the most eminently wise and virtuous in the land. Lawyers then, from their accomplish ments, diligence, and practical talent are dangerous competitors for office. But as a body they are few,. when compared with the other portion of the people,... and they are bound to live somewhat isolated in the vIllages. Therefore, it Is easy for their opposing candidates of other callings, with their friends, i raise a united clamor against them, which Is almostt irresistible.
