Resistance--The absurd position of the Submissionista - New aggressions - New Mexico following the lead of California. The sAbmission to Northern p'litical -power are evidently the men who are ruedy tosupport the compromise of M r. *ClIy,against th; pilatforn of the South. ct C ntion.,i Whatever profit may to enure to the North, un(l tjvagce. the prospectof that class of po Iiwfans 'whose scales areu al-vav struck tw1vor of ta o ar--' ,.lane. o of the Sou bave very little now - gain by dontial elections. y ftof ur ci: ns each any em. indnee in federal offices, while the great mag ofofficial patronage is in the hands of the large cities of the North. New Orleans is probably the only exception, and there we find an evident betrayal of the South to free-soilism; and it is in view of the next Presidential election, ud the plunder of the offices, that we Aaall expect to see the Clay compromise supported in that city. No impulse sways more strongly the mind of a ma. jority. of its politicians. It is upon the people of the country, however, that the safety of our slave institutions rest. The great political principle of the day-the only one which can make pub. lic life to ourselves and to our fellow citi. zens supportable, is the EQUALITY OF STAE RiGHnTs. That is what lies at the bottom of the California issue. The Compromise bill of Mr. Clay in the language of Mr. Berrien, procures for the North an extension of free soil tern. tory1 vhicj) they had sought to obtain by} fa'al ebhl' violation of the constitu. tion. it accomplishes what the W. proviso aimed to attain. The territorial bill de. prives the territorial legislatures of the tpower. to protect slave property. The ansfer, for a consideration, of Texas ritory directly passes slave territory the hands of the free States. Then lave trade is abolished in the Dis. >fColumbia, and a fugitive slave 3fTred us wvhich is a burlesqiue on the nature and spirit of our consti. tutionadi right to the aid of free States in recovering our property. The~rnen who are prepared to swal low this dose, will be ready for all kinds of'aggression on Southern rights, and they are truly and emphatically sun MlIS~it~ STS. The first newv aggression is 'the proclamation of Col. John Mfiun roe, the military commandant of New Modieo. Following in the footsteps of Col. Riley, he sets forth, "I, John Mumn roe, commanding the military force, and governor of the territory," &c., and goes on to cull a convention of a part of the, people together for the purpose of establishing a State constitution prepa. ratory to asking admission into the Un Ion. Here, then, is a territory without any defined boundaries, without any censusof population, without any initia tory steps having been takeni by Con 'gress, at once leaping into the position and standing of a sovereign State doubtless with a free soil constitution at' the bifdding of an army officer acting as the subordidate of the President of the ,Jhted States! It is an out rage so grqsu,'so palpably directed againist the ~South, that we feel humiliated in its re. cordei.

Is it not titta for 'the sober and reflecting pf th o South to lake their stand against this insidious compromise, and seek t. avert its threatened succession of evils Texas protests against this act. Th, following is the letter of her command er, then in the country of New Mexico addressed to Col. Munroet SANTA FE, April 11, 1850. Sir-Having seen during the day notices posted up, both in Spanish en English, inviting the citizens of thi; place to convene on Saturday next, '" take into consideration the propriety o making a State movement, and to peti tion, you, the head of this government to call a convention," etc.. I deem i my duty, as commissioner of Texas sent here to effect an organization unde her laws of this portion of her Territory to call your attention to the fact, as wet as to the 3d Art., 4th section of th. United States. I deem it the more necessary thu solemnly to protest against any coun tenance of aid being given to this move ment by the present head of the Gov ment, in consequence of the publishc orders which have emanated from th. United States War Department, an the result of an interview between us few days since. The Governmen which I have the honot to represent has declared her determination to main tain inviolate all the territory within he boundaries--such boundaries as wer guaranteed to her by her co'nipact o union; and 1 would take this opportuni ty to refer you to the second section o the "Joint Resolution for annexing Tex as to the United States," tand the pre amnblt.'of the constitution of the State o Texas, by whici, the terms of said -Join Resolution'" are accepted. And also t the "Joint Resolution for the admissioi of' the State of Texas into the Union," approved 29th Decemiber, 1845. Al of which, in my opinion, wouid bo vio lated by a consummation of the ob'j..et: of said State movement. And furthc to stu , that I now most solemnly pro test aainst nv movements in f4vor a a State course.~umtil Texas hras ex It .ip ri .l b-tian~ tv t his t 'Ierritory, or until i ta -, of Texas can be known in this mattt as guaranteed to her by the enactment referred to above.

The cstalog ur of our shame will then be complete. We shat have acknowledged the righi of the North to the whole territory ae quired from Mexico, and strengthILnet her arias in support of her dchlliratior that "no niore slave territory shali I added to the Union." What a gloriou: compromise.-What eulogies shall we be prepared to bestow upon its authors We shall have acknowledged too, the power of Congress to abolish the slave trade in our territories. We shall have acknowledged to Congress the righ to interfere with slavery .vherever the rights of the South can he stultitied while when slave property iu. , be pro' tected and placed upon an equality witt all other species of property, our consti tulional scruples will have been so re fined that a needle's point of diflirencu will have beeni suflicient to reject at protection, and place ourselves an< property at the miercy of any little eli qiue of free soilers who might have thu favor of a Cot. Riley, or a Cot. Mlumroe to usurp) the whole territory to them setlves. 'We are not of this breed.

From the Phrenological Journal. Kindness and Cruelty Contrasted. A vicious ox will sot a whole yard of cattle goring each other, down to the horn. less calf, which will vent his excited wrath on the sheep or a simple turkey gob bler. The leaderof a file of mules, a mile in length. is stang by a fly in the flank tie kicks the shins of his follower, who raps the one behind him, and so it goes to the end of the cavalcade. Each kicks his successor, because he feels the smart from his predecessor's heels. That same vi cious ox might set the whole tribe caress ing each other, by simply reaching forth his tongue and commencing the work of amiable kindness. There are few animals which may not be subdued to man's will and wishes by kind treatment. The ele. pliant, with gentle hand, may be led by a hair. Men and children have feelings similiar to those of the or. mule and calf, which may be aroused or alla ved in like manner. 'John, you lump of I Uiness, go to work!' makes John feel sour---lessons his hope of pleasing, lovers his sel-respect, awakens a spirit of opposition, and John becomes an eye servant-a kind of unwilling cart. horse in the performance of his duties. 'Come, John, let the work go ahead you are the boy to nake it fly f'--awakens the ambition of John-makes him feel that he is appreciated as being capable of doing right; although-he feels lazy, yet it does not eep tole iown; he is said to be able to do v'ell,ithiie feels encouraged to keep up his tion. His hope is inpirpid-his love '. eialid kiqd .f ling are awakened, and he leapd ingltf s !eq-agg sig good will, and by h ous, and by kind treatment obliging. 'Frank, you villian, What did you do that for ! You are perfectly hateful1 I'll flog you smartly if you repeat it !' touches Frank's pride and awakens his anger. le knows he is noisy and playful. but lie is not conscious of any villainous intention, and did not mean to be hateful. le feels slandered, and consequently indignant, and the threatened flogging which is to dis grace him, he regards as unjust, and he resolves to fight his way through. le feels that the treatment is humiliating and cruel, and lie loses his self-respect and an. bition to do well-becomes quarrelsome and hateful, and the mother has her hands full. 'Frank, my son, will you ply more q ni. etly, and not turn over the chairs ! The yard is a better place to play horse than the parlor. 'Men drive horses out of doors, convinces the judgment of Frank that his thoughtless, roughness and rudeness are out of plice in the parlor, and the mother's kind tone of voice evinces no anger, and arouses none in him, and he complies with alacrity with the mild and reasonable re quest. 'There, Sarah, goes another dish, and the milk on the table cloth and carpet. Take that slap in the face, and see if you can mind what you are about!' makes Sarah angry, for she tried to be careful. Tle cup slipped in her little hand. She feels unconscious of intentional wrong; and anger, grief and wounded sensitiveness miake her timid, discouraged and unhappy. th-ery timne she attemnpts to handle what will bireak or spill, excites ther fear, and her agitation of mind andI trembling hand muakes ther ten times more likely to meet with accidents, and she prefers a tin cup anid seat in the chimnecy corner to nibble a crust and sip tier beverage, where neither spilling nor breaking will be a mortal sin. 'Sarah, my dnaughter don't cry-never mind tthe cup, the cloth nor the cartpet. You did not meian to do it, I awn sure; and crying never mends a cupi nor cleans a caurpet. 'Never cry for spilled milk.' If you are more careful in future, as I trnst you will try to be, you wUl avoid all such troubtle. 'iThere is another cup and nilce miilk; wvipe ofll'the tears and be happy again.' Saurahl smiles through tier tears, takes tier fresh cutp of milk wiuth a firmi, confident, couwrageouis, re-aissuredl hand, and rejoices in tier strength and acquired cautiousness and skill. She is certainly made happier lby the kinid treatmnent, anid the cup, cloth anid carpet are not imore hopelessly dam aged than if the clild's happy nature had beeni scarred and defaced by unikinidness. The Ladies of Milan. A correspondent of the New York Com-. mnercial, Ade.rtiser, in giving a dlescripition of the city of Mtilaq, says: "IThie 1-idies oif Milan dress themselves with miuchi piropriet y. 'Their chief auimw ap pears to be to emulate each other in aim plicity. Thme gay colors so common to Southern Italy are seldom worn by them. They arc accustomed to brush their hair cowmletely fromn theo forehead aind the temt ples. 'Tis practice causes them to ap pear as neat as Quakeresses. Capes of ace are worn fitted neatly to the bust, wvith, a narrowv neck collar, hid by a plaini pink or az.uro colored ribbon. Du tring the revolution it wvas tri-color. T[he hats are of the cottage formw, ratther small wand cut in a very niodest style. The favorite flowers amwong the ladies are the camehia and dahlia. Their bats have generally upon the loft side a large full blIown camuiaha or dal,n withoute ny other accessary. The boquets for ladies are principally formed of these flowers, and the garlands and floral ofihrings cast upon the stage to popular actiesseb are of the same composition. Speaking about hair, it may niot be Amiss to say that the ladies of Oorrnto, the birth place of Tasso, braid their tresses and then arrange them in the form of a'wreath, such as artists are wont to plac upon the brow oftheir favorite bard. In Italy toward the going down of the sun, the ladies are accustomed to repair to the balconies of their habitations and oc cuipy them until the evening shades have appeared. At that pensive hour the bal conies are as frames enclosing pictures more beautiful than any in the nldbleat galleries in the italian capitals. Anecdote of Booth. Ratliffo-My lon, 'us I.

Spirit of the Times. He had concluded a brilliant and successful engagement at one of the Western theatres, and was up for his ben efit, in his character of Richard. Being highly gratified at the reception which had greeted him, and anticipatingt a crowning triumph on that night, he imprudently sat over his wine until he became considerably fuddled. It occurred to his somewhat be wildered mind, that his prere ice was need ed in another part of the city. and seizing his hat, which contained building material of no insignificant amount, he hurried to the theatre, and had barely time to dress, when the call bell summoned him to the statre. Ile was incontinently drunk, hut being to the manor born, and perfectly familiar with every word and syllable of his part, his violent geticulatlun and monstrous ranting, was applauded to the very echo, by the uhnsuspecting audience as his con ception and reading of the play. The play had proceeded to the fifth act. and matters were in this condition-all pleasure and interest before the curtain, all dread and alarm behind it, when at a signal, back slided the front scene, and discovered Richard. in his tent, taking that troubled sloep which was to be his last on earth. if it was to'be his last sheelblIA. evident thatthehuttch-back tyrant inter 1d ~hoizlhjoe a u$nd.one,:or tiro ghut oiude, W1r ii~,~e~ Hastings, and Queen Anne, aned in succession, pouring upon his gui- tIfadpied soul their damning curses, without his t ing theslightest symptoms of being disc turbed. And when the ghost of butchered Buckinghian had added his last curse and passed on. instead of rising from his couch in bewildered terror, and exclaiming as he should have done 'Give me another horse-bind up my wounds Have mercy Jesu!--Soft; I did bit dream,' &c. King Richard, to the surprise of thie audi ence and dismay of the manager, still slept sonndly on, when enter Ratcliff, exclaim ing Rat.-'Mv lord' K. Rich.-'Vho's there!' (springing from his couch and rushing on him with his sword.) Rat.-'Ratclifl, my lord; 'tis I, the early village cock,' (when, becoming alarmed, lie forgot his part, and repeated, "tis I, the early village cock,' and stopped.) K. Rich.-'WIhy the h-l1 don't you crow then?' A yell like the roar of a young earth quake went up from the pit, that will live in the memory of the oldest inhabitant; the manager fainted, the lights went out, the curtaim fell. Suggestionr for &Sfely in Thunder Storms.---Sedulously avoid all conduc tors of electricity. Do not shelter tin der trees, nor go near them; the great majority of accidents arise from want of this precaution. Do not handle or be very close to metahic bodies; a servant cleaning a silver fork at a window, du ring a thunder storm, the prongs being out wards, wvns struck, but not killed; a young lady, during the same storm, sewing near a wvindowv, was thrown from her seat and experienced a blow. The centre of a room, if a metalic hus tr'e is not pendant, is safer than anty other part of the apartment.
