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, -d the plunder of the offices, that we Aiall 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 1 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 ciii. } zens supportable, is the EQUALITY OF t STATE RIGHTS. That is what lies at the bottom of the California issue. The Compromise bill of Mr. Clay in the I language of Mr. Berrien, procures for the North an extension of free soil terri. tory vhich they had sought to obtain t byM&~itdi1& lviolation of the constitu. tion. It accmilishes what the W. proviso t aimed to attain. The territorial bill tie. r prives the territorial legislatures of the % power to protect slave property. The t t ansfer, for a consideration, of Texas ritory directly passes slave territory t ~ ite hands of the free States. Then lave tdade is abolished in the Dis )f~olumbiat, and a fugitive slave 3ffhred us which is a burlesque on the nature and sp)irit of our cons.'ti. tutional right to the aid of free States in recovering our property.t The~zmen who are prepared to swal. lot this dose, will be read' >:: all kinds o( aggression on Southter~a .ights, and they are truly and emphatically sun- j MISSIONIsTS. rThe first new aggression is the proclamation of Col. John Mun. a roe, the military commandant of New v. Mexico. Following in the footsteps of r Coh. Rlley, he sets forth, "1, John Mun. - roe, commanding the milita ry force, and c -governor of the territory," &c., and I goes on to call a convention of a part of t the. people together for the purpose of r establishing a State constitution prepa. I ratory to asking admission into the Un. ' Ion. Here, then, is a territory without any dofined boundaries, without any census~of population, without any initia-. tory steps having been taken by Con. -gress, at once leaping into the position i and standing of a sovereign State-- g doubtless with a free soil constitution at. tht6 bidding of an army officer acting c as tho subordirnate of then President of a .the oiletd States! ft is an outrage so <j groseso palpably dlireeted against thet Somht that we feel humiliated in its re NWhatt s otur Union corling to, when I Rych erpkless disregard of Slate rights s f:iif id the foreground of an ad minis.| tration jvhoso head is a Southern man?r 'Nos jPealco will ~fresent herself for i adgnis'ldtt and riot a man who supports the Clay coamp romuiso can refuse to re *ceive her il ithe' same open arms 3# whichinhe is now extendinig to Cn lifornia. t Is it riot titne~ for theosober and reflecting jflho South to ake thei~r stand against his insidious compromise, and seek to vert its threatened succession of evils. 'exas protests against this act. The bllowing- is the letter of her command. r, then in the country of New Mexico, ddressed to Col. Munroe' SANTA FE, April 11, 1850. Sir-Having seen during the day, totices posted up, both in Spanish and Lnglish, inviting the citizens of this iluce to convene on Saturday next, "to ake into consideration the propriety of naking a State movement, and to poti. ion, you, the head of this government, o call a convention." etc.. I deem it ny duty, as commissioner of Texas, ent here to effect an organization under er laws of this portion of her Territory, o call your attention to the fact, as well s to the 3d A rt., 4th section of the Jnited States. I deem it the more necessary thus slemnly to protest against any coun enance of aid being given to this move nent by the present head of the Gov nent, in consequence of the published rders which have emanated from the Jnited States War Department, and lie result of an interview between us a 'ew days since. The Government vhich 1 have the honot to represent, ins declared her determination to main ain inviolate all the territory within her oundaries--such boundnries as were uarantetl to her by her compact of mnion; and I would take this opportuni. y to refer you to the second section of he "Joint Resolution for annexing Tex. is to hie United States," and the pre nnble of the constitution of the. State of T'exas, by whic, the term;of said "Joint lesolution" are accepted. And also to he "Joint Resolution for the admission > the State of Texas into the Union," approved 29th Decemb--r, 1845. All tf which, in my opinion, wonhtl be vio, ated by a consummation of the obj.-cts f said State movement. And further a sta , that I now most solemnly pro rst a ainstanv movements in forI' State cour, until Texas hat ext 4e4 I- .iur'.iela u u"; i.v . til. h " b; Ci erritory, or unttil u w Ill.t Ilw . i> Texas can be known in this mntLe. 1 is guaranteed to her by the enactments eferred to above.

The submissionists will involve them. elves in the absurd position of advoca. ing the admission of New Mexico with free soil constitution, and immediate y thereafter, of Utah. The catalogue f our shame will then be cemplete. Ve shall have acknowledged the right if the North to the whole territory ae. uired from Mexico, and strengtIhened er arms in support of her decliration hat "io more slave territory shall be dded to the Union." What a glorious omprornise.--What eulogies shall we fe prepared to bestow upon its authors! Ye shall have acknowledged too, the ower of Congress to abolish the slave rade in our territories. We shall have ckiowledged to Congress the right interfere with slavery wherever the ights of the South can be stultified, vhile when slave property is to be pro ected and placed upon an entrality with 11 other species of property, our consti utional scruites will have been so re. ined that a needle's point of dlifTrence vil htave beeni suflicient to reject all rotection, and place ourselves andl roperty at the mercy of any little cli. ue of free soilers whto mightt htave the avor of a Col. Riley, or a Col. Munroe, a> usurp the whole territory to thtem. elves. We are not of this breed. TIhe peo. he of Mississippi will stand up) to the fiissouri compromise, but they will not ecede a step behind it. Those men re not Southterners who tell the North 'o arc prepared to yield up every thting ather thtan endanger the Union. Wo ave feelings and sympathies which annot he outraged wvitht impuntity.

Hier cant about union is ik the hymn of mercy int a past-age wng before the victim at the stake. eare despised, and our rin delibe-. ately sought, wvhile this word "Union" rung upon outr ears. We are only for one Union, and that theo Union that brought together tho >tates which formed the presenit consti. utlon. WVe see 'to evils in secession vhen that union is at an end. The South will (ind no peace while the pe sent spirit of disunion exists at the North, The dastard peace sought for by the submissionists, will be as short lived as the meteor fame of their leaders. It rests upon no solid basis. But on the other hand, the South dwindles into po. litical insignificance under the shadow of the baneful policy of the Clay com promise. Her political power in the Senate is at once at an end with the ad. mission of California. Here, also, is New Mqxico playing the same part as California, and the submissionists must swallow this measure too. Cut loose from the equality of State rights, and there is no depth of political disgrace too deep, which we shall not be prepar ed to sink into. Mississippi will take her stand by the Southern platform, and will never yield up her rights south of the compromise of 1820. We call on Soule, on Downs, on Turney, on At. chison, and all other Southern men in the Senate and in the.Iouse, to sustain this platform, as they would rally to the aid of the South were her political existence nt stake. We shall nlever suffer Texas to be stripped of her territory from any inditl. erence on our part.-Shall the federal government seek to usurp the territory of Texas, we are ready to see our sonis mount their rifles and draw their satres in her behalf. The Victim of an Inkstand-or, a French Girl nearly kiled by Friht The Quartier Latin, one of the most classic places in Paris, arc its mine in. (ienites, wvas lately the scene of a shock. ing ocur renec. Towards six o'eicek, on the evteni ng uf the 'th of May, a nums. her of fenale stolid'nts, headed by Eu. genie C.outicr, the llelle of the (uarlier, paradeil through the streets.

I)esiree left the window, tan instant she was in the street, carrying a small vial, the contents of which she threw into Eugenie's face. With a wilt hrick, 'ugen ie fell .'o the g round; lier comn panions thronged aroundi her, nad to their itter dismay, behild her fine face covered with large llotches of a bluish-b iack color, evident ly aqjiu/ortus, which the desnerate )e siree had used for the destruc tion of her rival. The poor girl was taken up-she was fast dying, and fiears were entertained that she would not survive iittil medical aid was procured. At last they reached the house of ain apothecary; he was shock rd at the horrible sight; lie had known Eugenie in all her bloom and fairness, lie now saw the blotches-he was over. come, and could not proceed on his painful tack. The girls begged himt to ioimence, and their fefars at last nerve himi; he takes ia muslin haiidkerchief rind touches one of the dreadful blotch - es.

Andil really, Eugenic's checks, a fte r inving recei ved aniothe r rubbini g withi hei sponge, loo.kied miore fresh and rosv han i eve r. "Get up, Euigeniic," sai lie d rugist;i et up,. and . i speak to us youi do not siiffer.' 'Bu~t thle d rugg'ist was mistakeni; Eugenie was noa rly dy ng; she could tnot raise hierself or speak. Mie hail ini goad faithi thought herself Ji sfigured, and foeer ugly; she had5 aveni felt the burining of the st. pposed rspsif'runs, and a F'reiichi girl of eigh een cannot get over the chiaunge fromt a buddlingi rose to a dlead leaf, withoaut miortal alini.-,bi.

A day~ otr two afterwards, she brought uno action against liesr rival for the wilfuil spoiling of' a dress, a collar, bonnet, atnd several other articles belotnging to the toilet of ua French wtoman, and laid her damages at 200 francs. Desiree, int pleading hio~estcuse, attempted to showt that all wvas meant for~ a joke, but Eu Genic's friends testified indigjnantly against her, and the certifioatd of the druggist went a long way, showa ng the anguish which the complainant ad en. dured. In view of these Pants, thoro fore, the Court ordered Desiree to pay a fine of sixteen francs, and fitdyfrancs damages to the complainant. Destructivo Eloquence, Our Country 'tip of thee !"

Kindness and Cruelty Contrasted. A vicious ox will set a whole yard of cattle goring each other, down in 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 stung by a fly in the flank lie 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 phant, with gentle hand, may be led by a hair. Mon and children have feelings similiar to those of the ox. mule and calf, which may be aroused or allayed in like manner. 'John. you lump of IWtiness, go to work! makes John feel sour--lessons his hope of pleasing, lowers his eal-respect, awakens a spirit of opposition, and John becomes an eye servant-a kind of unwilling cart horse in the performance of his duties.

'Frank, you villian, What did you do that for ! You are perfectly hateful I I'll flog you smartly it you repeat it !' touches Frank's pride and awakens his anger. He knows he is noisy and playful, but lie is not conscious of any villainous intention, and did not mean to be hateful. lie 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. Ile feels that the treatment is humiliating and cruel, and lie loses his self-respect and am bition to do well-becornes quarrelsome and hateful, and the mother has her hands full. 'Frank, my son, will you ply more qui. etly, and not turn over the chairs ' The yard is a better place to play horse than the parlor.

"l'here, Sarah, goes another dish, and the milk on the table cloth and carpet. 'Take that shap in the face, and see if you can mind what you are about !' makes Sarah angry, for she tried to be careful. The cup slipped in her little hand. She feels unconscious of intentional wrong; and anger, grief and wounded sensitiveness imake her timid, discouraged and unhappy. lI ery time shte :attempte to handle what will break or spill, excites tier fear, and lier agitat ion of mind and trembling hand mnaka h ter ten times more likely to meet withI acc.idents, and she prefers a tin cup and seat in the chimney corner to nibble a crust and sip, her beverage, where neither spilling nor breaking will be a mortal sin. 'Sarah, miy daughter don't cry-never mind thme cup, the cloth nor the carpet. You did not mean to do it, I am sure; and crying never imends -a cup nor cleans a carpmet. 'Never cry for spied milk.' If you are miore carceful in future, as I trnst you will try to be, you will avoid all such trouble. 'There is another cup and nice milk; wipe olythiu tears and be happy again.' Sarah smiles through her tears, takes tier fresh cup of milk wvithu a firm, confident, courageous, re-assured hand, and rejoices in lier strenigth and acquired cautiousness and skill. 8the is certainly made happier by thme kind treatment, anid the cup, c lothi and carpet are not miore hopelessly dam. aged thain if the child's happy nature had been scarred and defaced by unkindness. The Ladies of Milan. A correspondent of the Newv York Coin mnercial A durriser, ini giving a description of the city of Milam, says : "'he Ladies of Milan dress themselves with niuchi propriety. Their chief aim ap pears to be to emulate each other in aim plicity. '['le gay colors so common te Southern Italy are seldom worn by them. They are accustomed to brush their* hair comipletely from the forehead and thelem-. ples. 'Thlis practice causes them to ap. pecar as neat as Quakeresses. Capes ol lace are worn fitted neatly to the bust, with a narrow neck collar, hid by a plain pink or azure colored ribbon. D)uring the revolutioni it wvas tri-color. The hats arc of the cottage form, rather small and cui in a very muodest style. The favorite flowers amnxwg the ladies are the camelia and dahlia. Their hati have generally upon the left slde a largc full blown caimeha or dahulin, without an~ 'V. other accessary. The boquets for ladies are principally formed of these flowers, and the garlands and floral offbrings cast upon. the stage to popular acttessee, are of the same composition. Speaking about hair, it may not be agmiss to say that the ladies of Sorrento, the birth place of Tasso, braid their tresses and then artange them in the form of a'wreath, such as artist.s are wont to plate upon the brow oftheir favorite bard. In Italy to*ard the going down of the sun, the ladies are accustomed to repair to the balconies of their habitations and oc cupy 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 neblest galleries in the Italian capitals. Anecdote of CIooth. Itateliffo-My lord, 'tis 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 hie character of Richard. Being highly gratified at the reception which had greeted him, and anticipating 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 presence was need ed in another part of the city, and seizing his hat, which contained building material of no insignificant amount, he hurried to tIe theatre, and had barely time to dress, when the call boll summoned him to the stage. Ile was incontinently drunk, but being to the manor born, and perfectly familiar with every word and syllable of his part, his violent gesticulation and nonstrous ranting, was applauded to the very echo, by the unsuspecting audience as his con ception and reading of the play. ''he play had proceded 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 Rent, taking that troubled sleep which was to be his last on earth.

And when the ghost of butchered Buokingiam had added his last curse and passed on. instead of rising from his couch n bewildered terror, and exclaiming as he should have done 'Give me another horse--bind up my wounds H~ave mercy Jesu!--Soft; I did but dream,' &c.
