And I would say to Massachusetts, rs I say to the world, let us alone on this subject. We feel capable of taking care of ourselves, and we intend to do it. " See act of Massachusetts, March 17S8. From the Charleston Mercury. ni:u niTTV Mrssrst. Editors?From yesterday's paper I see that Mr.' Soule's Amendment, has been rejected by an overwhelming majority of the Senate. This amendment is the original Missouri Compromise. It expressly excludes slavery north of 30 deg. 30 min. without, at the same time, expressly admitting at south of that line. Neither of these provisions are in accordance , with the Constitution. But the latter has been proposed by the Southern Convention, as a simple partition of the common territory, under the conviction that the Constitution of the United States, so far as we are concerned, is a dead letter. Yet it seems that even thus, with no guaranty to our rights in the small fraction of territory on our side of that line, the Missouri Compromise has signally and unequivocally failed. Here is a fact, which, like the sound of the last trump, should wake us, one and all, from the death-like trance of imbecility so long indulged in to redeem our mouldering liberties.? Here is a fact that should plead, trumpet- 1 tongued. to our common sense. It tells us in tones which none can mistake, that hope of re- 1 conciliation is vain. It sounds the knell to all 1 expectation of a "satisfactory adjustment"?an expectation long and ardently cherished by many honest men in the South, who, in spite of 1 every indication, have continued to hope against . T o* i* ko Innivn tn niir noonle : let it nypv. ? - ? ? - sink into their heart of hearts; let them turn it j over and over in their minds; let the people see 1 what respect is paid to their voice?to the voice I of all the Southern States. Let them feel to i what a depth of humiliation their blind and in- 1 fatuated forbearance has lowered them. Long, long has the South been suffering under a progressive course of wrong. Injury upon injury has been heaped upon her. She has remonstrated, warned, threatened, pleaded. In answer, the cry of indignation has been raised: " Who so traitorous as to wish to unsettle this I beautiful system of things, by which we (the I North) are lighted to prosperity; (and you? i why you aside) and the world at large beholds the spectacle of the most beneficial, Iree, and blessed Government upon earth/' The people < of the South, out of their love to the Union, 1 which has attained the lorce of habit, have even come down to propose to receive far less than j is their due, from the people of the North.? | " Judtre, O you uods, how dearly we have lov pd them." A proposition coming from the | I South, and more conceding than our "extreme ! < concession," has been unanimously rejected by the North. i "Thus repulsed, our final liopo, < Is fiat despair." { It now becomes every Southern man, having !' but a small show of reason, let alone se!f-re spect, to despair of the Union. It now becomes ; ' every freeman to prepare himself to maintain J 1 Southern rights, to the disrupturc of the Union J ?" at every hazard, and to the last extremity." !

There is no ! satisfactory adjustment, either to lie, or to he expected. The Union must fall, or the South * f..u IIIU.-M Kill, If, therefore, no reasonable man who lias observed events can avoid seeing that we are in ' this dilemma; if every Southern man must now he an enemy to the South, or a Disunionist? ' not a Disunionist per sc, hut by force of circum- I stances, as an alternative?it is time to begin to "stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood."? 1 Let us not too soon think we are prepared.? 1 The South is not prepared?South Carolina is ' not yet prepared. South Carolina may be in 1 advance of her sister Southern States; but it 1 does not become a people preparing for great * things to he still.

Revo- ' lutions require great determination. The time is last approaching when our determination is ( to he put to the test. It is, therefore, time we 1 begin to ''screw our courage to the sticking ' point." Nor in preparing ourselves for this crisis have we good reason to fear, that hiy giving assu- < ranee to the truth, and freely expressing our sen timents as to the course we should pursue, we may Kindle the animosity or excite the jealousy of other Southern States. On the contrary, tliev would he stimulated and encouraged by t)ur example. The South, now for the first time, perceives the insecurity and ignominy of her situation in the Union. She appreciates the course of this State formerly. She now looks to this State to set an example, if indeed this State has been in earnest in what she lias all along said. It becomes South Carolina, then, to 'face the music,' and to meet coming events boldly, anil without equivocation. She despairs of the Union. Then let her openly say so, by her statesmen, and by her people. Her motives will be appreciated; and, right, her foresight admired, it will, now, that the Southern People are coming to themselves, no longer be in the power of demagogues to slander her, as disloyal. These changelings who cater to popular favor, are, or very soon will be, compelled to side with the South and South Carolina. i tl.nn ?vmv.ee nnr nninions -L-iL'L u?5 men li y amongst ourselves and before the world. It is time to speak out The language of truth and soberness is never rash or ill-timed. Let us remember that "the highest wisdom is often rashness to cowards and folly to fools." The crisis is at hand. We should don the casque and buckle on the armor: : "and ifone Exist who would not arm for liberty, Be he then cursed living, and when dead, Let him be buried downwards, with his face I.nokin<? to Hell, and o'er his coward prave The hare skulk in her form." ANOTHER CURTIUS. Fourteen years ago we travelled North with two gentlemen. In public houses, stage coaches, on steamboats and canal boats, we were beset by persons keen to discuss the slavery question. One of our company never indulged tliis appetite for debate. He arrested the catechising a vociferous philanthropist was ahout to practice, hv remarking that this question would some day be decided by the musket, and he would await that time. That time is nearly come. It depends upon two things. The determination of the North to maintain the false position they have assumed, and the resolution to supersede their paper arguments with the arguments of iron and lead. 0 w If their consciences will not let them go back, and their obligations to humanity compel them to draw the sword, then what we have satd is true?the time for this final debate is nearly come. We know very little of what is current among politicians. Our intercourse has been with religious men mainly. We have conversed in families where Uod is worshipped, and there we have seen the calm, settled conviction i that the only thing to be feared might be the niisillaniimtv of some Southern members of r y 9 , Congress. We tell our Northern brethreii that when the time comes to try the last argument, they will have to enforce it against the opposition ofSouthern mothers and ministers, it is for the North to count the cost; that is no part of our business. They have a favorite theory to maintain; we our firesides, our altars and our honor. We are no "alarmists." We eschewed the excitement of party polities more than tweuty years ago, when we began to preach the Gospel. But the times demand that every man should do his duty.

Sknatk.?After a short executive session, the Senate took up a bill granting bounty lands to seamen and marines woo served in the gulf and in the Pacific during the Mexican war.? The subject was discussed and laid aside. The adjustment bill was taken up, and Mr. Cooper concluded his remarks in favor of the bill. Mr. Upham followed in opposition to the bill, and gave way, without concluding, to a motion for adjournment M. Yulee submitted a proposition for the termination of the present session of Congress jn the 1x5th August.

Mr. Burt gave notice that he would move to close the debate at two o'clock to-morrow. The House then adjourned. a July 3.?In Senate Mr Wales presented resolutions adopted by a public meeting of ci tizensoi wumington, Delaware, 111 opposition to the Senate Compromise bill, which were read. Mr. Clay said he had no doubt that the compromise, if passed, would give entire satisfaction to the people of Delaware. The resolutions he said, had a strong diplomatic odpr. Mr. Wales. Perhans they have. But printed forms of memorials in favor of the compromise were sent to Delaware tor signatures from tiie city, and 1 have not heard of the first man in Deleware that signed them. After some remarks from Mr. Foote, the resolutions were laid on the table. Mr. Cass's resolution, lor an inquiry as to the expediency of prohibiting, by law, military offi core of the United States from exercising civil functions, was taken up. Mr. Houston spoke in opposition to Col. Monroe's course in New Mexico and tiie President's policy, which had always been hostile to Texas. He spoke in favor of an adjustment of the diilicult questions before the country, and deprecated the President's interference as calculated to embarrass it. He adverted to the Nashville Convention and the sole and self-appointed delegate from Texas to it, and entered his solemn protest against its proceedings. The subject was laid aside. The adjustment bill was taken up, and Mr. Bell addressed the Senate. He said that the subject was becoming more complicated aiiu less capable of adjustment. He was uncommitted as to the bill; but he regretted that it was not a more comprehensive scheme, and more likely to give permanent peace to the country. The bill if passed, was but a temporary expedient, and, in five years, another shock would be felt. He showed that the Texan question, as to the admission of new States, was not settled by the bill. The North would never admit new slave States from Texas. A fearful struggle would arise on that question. and to prevent it should be the effort of statesmen now. If there had been a concurrence of effort between the President and influential men iu Congress, a plan of adjustment would have been agreed upon. Mr. Bell defended the President from the various charges made against him in reference to his alleged course as to California; and then proceeded to rebuke Mr. Clay for censuring the President's plan, and challenging any friend of the administration to stand up here and support it. Mr. Clay remarked that he came here intending to co-operate with the President, and was still willing to do it.' But he determined to follow the dictates of his own judgment. He only asked the President on tins subject, to stand aloof. But the President and tiic Republic bad attacked the adjustment scheme of the committee of thirteen. If the President had not interfered, the adjustment bill would have commanded a majority of both Houses. Mr. Bell proceeded, at length, to vindicate the President and to show that, as a man of suit it. he could not have acted diflereutlv. The Senate adjourned, In tfie House on motion of Mr, Morse it was agreed that when the House adjourn, it be till Friday next, to enable the members to regard in an appropriate manner, the 74th anniversary of American Independence, The vote was yeas 94, noes 72.

He took for his subject, Cuthusiasm, as an element of Christian character, and treated it in a manner to impress upon a large and delighted audience the high qualifications of a gifted speaker for the sacred work to which he has devoted his life. R. Furman Whilden of this city, the brother of our Missionary to China, spoke next upon the importance to the success of missions that correct information be circulated among the Churches at home.

The high popularity which Mr. McQueen has attained in Congress, amongst the membeis, will never be equalled in the South. It was not the voice of a demagogue, but that of a man who said, what he would defend. And whether it may be in the Legislative Halls or on the battle field, the Pedee District has but to say, " We foliate our Leader Rev. Thomas B. Russel. The many friends of this gentleman will, no doubt, be gratified to learn that he has so far succeeded well in the new position he has been called to occupy as the President of Oak Bowery Female College, Ala. We use the term so Jar, because this institution is yet in its infancy and may be re garded as an experiment. We have eutire confidence in Mr. Russet's ability as a Scholar, to believe that the College will succeed. Mr. Russet's talents are of no ordinary grade, and his attainments, as well as excellent moral and social qualities, eminently qualify him for such a position. Although his sojourn amongst us was of short t a i. r? i_ ir d.* t.- r : ciuralion, yei ne won tor nimseii, in 1110 unci period, many warm and devoted fiiends. We earnestly hope success may abundantly attend his future efforts, From the Southern Christian Advocate of the 28th June, we extract the following notice relating to the examination of the College referred to: On Saturday, the Rev. Thomas B. Russel?? President of the College, delivered an excellent address on education. He remarked 011 the subject generally, but dwelt particularly on female education. From this address, and brother Russet's manner of examining his classes, it was manifest that he thoroughly comprehended and duly appreciated the obligations and duties of his position, and was highly gifted in the practical part of his profession ; anil although he has not headed this institution long enough to ingraft himself upon its character, yet his plans and systems are at work, and I believe that under the divine blessing, he is destined to establish a female college of high clmr? acter. He has views of education which admira? hlv adapt him as the instrument of the Church in such an institution; views, which contemplate man, not merely as an actor upon this present stage of being, But as an immortal being, destined to a higher slate, for which the present is prepara* tory ; and consequently, he attaches great iinpor* tance to the study of that book of books, which alone reveals to man real greatness, and points him to his highest and nob est destiny. Startling Rumors. ?? i - ci n _ r rm i me wasnmgion oomnern rreps 01 inursuay fins the following startling rumors. The other pa-, pers of ihat city make no mention of them, but the Washington correspondents of the New York papers express, the same reports as current at the seat of government, It is luiuorcd here that a despatch was received last evening, announcing the march of Texan troops on Santa Fe. It is also rumored that special Cabinet meetings on the rubject has been held. A governor of a Southern State, said to be Gen, Quitman, has sent a telegraphic.despatch to this city, that he is ready to march with ten thousand men to support Texas. We hope it may be correct The unheard of atrocity, of the aggressive course pursued toward the South, warns us to meet the conflict ere it is too late, A bribe has been offered Texas, to y wld up a large part of her territory, to make free-soil of?-and as if thev anticipated a failure by that means, they intend to wrest it, by force, away.?? They forget, that the Alamo, is a link in Texan hisr tory. Texas need have no fear?the South will stand by her to a man. Gen. Quitman, with his ten thousand gallant Mississfppians, will not be alone?lor on the first battle field we promise them the sweeping swords of the Palmetto shall wave. Strike the blow about the ancient walls of Santa Fe, that shall tell base aggressors wo have not forgotten our rights. We cannot express our admiration of the character of Gov, Quitman. The laurels he has heretofore won, is but a small por? tion of that wreath which is yet to adorn his brow, whether won on the soil of Texas, or elsewhere, in defence of Southern rights?or fer southward in that Isle, " the gem of the river sea." Not a heart in the South but throbs with the deepest anx ? a. J AI . iety?not a man but wnat is nervea w wieia uie sword. Let Texas strike the blow if it must be struck, and all the Palmetto asks, is a "Place on ihe Picture?nearest the flashing of the guns." Important Discovery,?The London ChronoThermalist, for June, announces the discovery of a substitute for the sulphate of quinine, which is represented as being even a better medicine, and can be bought for one-tenth the price.
