The ffeots of Delay.
What have we of the South to hope fe
a from a further continuance of this Union
We are in a minority in a government whic1
is every year becoming more powerful ani
more hostile to slavery, and from whicli
e therefore, it would be worse than idle to ex
) pect the furtherunce of the interests of th<
r s'ave States. It is certain that no territor,
. hereafler acquired will be opened to slave
I ry. If Mexico, tired of alternate anarch;
and tyranny, shall seek peace and protec
tion for life and property by beconmimg
a part of this Republic, no slaveholder wil
be permitted to carry his property into
those rich valleys and exhaustleEs mines
It was less probable, six years ago, that w
should now have California as a siste
State, than that, before ten years, tl
West India Islands and the whole of Ceii
tral America will be comprised in this'Cin,
federacy. Ill any reasonable man risl
his reputatioi oi the assertion that thh
government. will permit slavery to extent]
itself over any portion of this territory?
When there were 15 slave, to 15 frec
States, the political power was in the free
States and the South was injuriously treat.
ed and degraded by the acts of Government;
her own sons perceived the advantages ol
being untrue to her, and her enemies thc
security wiih which they could make ag.
gressions upon her. When there shall be
thirty or forty anti-slavery, to ten or twelve
slave States, what toore can the South hope
to be than an humble submissive depend.
ency, thankful, not for prosperisy and secu.
rity, but for mere permission to drag out
her abjectoexistence during a few wretched
years. Same of her sons use her now as
a mere footstool to reach National honors
theni, thongh they will prey upon her with
out conpunction, they will feel it a disgrace
to be known as Southerners. Chivalry,
Independence, Sovereignty, are terms that
will never be thought of in connection
with any slave State. It was this coming
degradation that so oppressed the mind of
.31. ig~oUN .during his last hours1 wvhile
Wtraa it~w
possiblu -for the South to maintain the
eqtuilibriucm of the Governmnent. But his
warning voice was not heeded and thme
South initiated her own destruction. Now
behold us hemmed in on the West and
South, whlile our border on the North is
drawing nigher; anid concurrent with this
retrogression is thec exhibition by. the bor
der States of a lo'es of interest in the ques
ion. They are alnost willing now to join
with the Northi in attacks upon slavcry ; in
a few years they wal be our nearest ene
inies. Blut wha:m is mnore oiminouns than all
is thle diiniution of moral power or the
Sonth. At least oine the States, in whlich
'lavery must exist whlile it exists at all, has
see~med to have lost thec spim it of resistance
to aggressions, and there are many in all
parts of ilhe South who, observing the want
of unimity' of the Southerni people anmd
kcnoawing t hat t his inst tliuticon is oppose4d tr
the sent iiments eof the greater part1 of ther
Ictiilized worhd, feel powerles, and, in des.

At a recent neeting of the Souther
B Rights Club of Lowndes County, Ala., th
0 following resolutions -were unanimousl
- adopted:
Resolved, That South Carolina or an
State has the right to secede. from thi
Confederacy whenever it becomes necessa
ry to their happiness, either alone, or ii
r company with other States, "whether thi
grievance he common or solitary."
Resolred, That as South Carolina wa;
the first colony that declared for resistanci
by arins to British oppression, she ma
well take the load-in opposition to North
. er wrongs, and we pledge our best oflbrt
to sustain her in the course she may desig
nate.
A letter, lately received in thia Distric
from a gentleman of that County, stute
that volunteers are now forming themaelve
into a company, in that County, to come t<
the aid of South Carolina, in the event o
her collision with the General Gove, nment
and that similar companies are being form
ed in various parts of Alabama.

the fracture of some part. of the machinery,
was run upon by a freight train and all the

and his lady. Though seriously injured
they are Lkely to recover.
New Planet.
J. R. HIND of Bishop's Observatory,
England, has discovered a planet between
Mars and Jupiter.
The Whigs of A!!eghany Couinty, Pa.,
met in Conventina on the 4th inst., and
traversed the whole area upon which they
could naneuvre. They nominated a Pres
ident Judge of the District Court, a Judge
of the Quarter Sessions, a Regisier, a
County Treasurer, and a Recorder.
They passed resolutions in favor of a
protective tarill of Gov. JOHNSTOt's admin.
istration and of the nomination of Gen.
SCOTT for the Presidency. Their arduous
labors in behalf of the nation concluded
with the adoption of the ,fnewing resolu.
Resolre, That we regard the existerce
of slavery in the Southern. ~staa as a lo
cal institution, f'or which they alone are re
sponsible; so far as it is recognized ini the
execute the same itn good faith, but that
IPenansylvania, having long sinec< abolished
slavery upon her soil, is utterly hostile to
its further extension, or any interference
w ith it hv her state officers.
The New York R~un in an article tupon
Mr. Webster's last speech remarks as
follows:
And now Mr. Webster triumphantly ap
peals to the facta that there are to-day n
slaves in New.31exco andl but few in
.Utah, to justify has lergiversation. Blut
Iwe will venture to suggest that his self
graitulation is not well founded. It is rnot
any unienatedh It- of God or Nature, not
the geography no ,-eathier there prevalent,
whlichi hiave' kept slaves out, biut the fiact
that the NorthI stanads all ready to put the
suvinw; grace of the lProviso, upon those
territories should there he any moovemnen'. to
take slaves there. It is biecauiso the Souith
kntows that the great struggle would
inistanttly he renewed, not mideed by the

this and the time for holding her Convention

The Southern Standan, Columbus (Mi.)
of the 24th ilt. says:
"The editor has been absent from his
post nearly a week. He has been among
the people-the masses-and has listened
to the conversation of hundreds. If the
least doubt ever existed in his mind as to
the success of the Southern- Rights Union
party in this State, that doubt has been
removed. In sections where it has been
reported that the submission party was
largely in the ascendant, and was daily in
creasing in power, personal observation and
the admission of the subs have satisfied
him that game of misreprosent*ion is at an
end, and that as the true issues get before
the people, a revolution in public sentiment
is the result. The people have been
startled by the misrepresentations of the
domagogues and office seekers, and wher o
misrepresentation failed to do its work,
direct ani positive falsehood has been
resorted to. The defenders of Southern
Rights are now taking the puJic nostrutnim,
the people are being made ac.nainted with
the true issue, and as the facts are being
spread out, the people-the masses, are
marching up to the question in solid
column. The people are aroused; they
see that the submission party has en.
duaavofred t, deceive and mislead then, and
as th ebecoining ap rised of this, their
iws~ffmeitn onl quled by their de

PIKEPARATTONS AT W~AssoNGmo FoR
PREsinENT MAEINo AT NEXT SassoN OF
CoNG nEss.-Weo perceive that 51r. Cor
coran, the great government baniker at
WVashington, the livi ng American Rothls
child in finance-and a far more gen
erous and arilable man, to boot, than the
Hebrew--has made arranigements for
erectitng wvhole blocks of private dwvelling
houses, of such construction and arrange.
ments for erecting wvhole blocks of private
dn~ olling houses, of such construction and
arrangemnent as will be suitable for the
princely residences of ri members oif
Congress, and diplomnatists wvith long sal.
aries. For nmnny years past, there hats
been a great dlitlicuilty, when a millionarie
was sent to Congress, or appointed as a
minister, to procure, without a great deal o[
trouble, a decent house, with proper apart.
monts for g ivitng large pat ties, and living
in a style of echmat and splendor, suitable for
conductitng political intrigues. Out of the
pretits, wvhich have been made through the
treaisury loans, the Mexican and Florida
claimns, the goverunment contracts, and all
oither m-itters that yield drippings, Mr. Cor
coran is probably the richest man in
WVashington, and is wvell enabledl to engage
in thme very patriotic and profitable enter.
prs which is attribted to him.
We may expect, thereiore, that many
private saloons will be opened during the
next session of Congress, and that great
faicility will be given for conducting those
Ibargaiins and a rrangemcnt s that generally
precede the contest for the P'residency.
All the parties will determine next winiter,
at WVashington, who their candlidates for
the P'residen.icy will be, and the incecase of
habitable houses for the conve'nienmce of
such cabals and coteries is creditable to the
financial mind of the American Rothschild,
his commissions and per centage deducted
therefrom.--N. V. IHerald.

the p)umshlnmnt of death wvill be inflicted onl
every captain of a vessel, convicted of the
