California Gold fever.

We have been inclined to regard the re-
ports concerning the profusion of gold in
California as cousins german to the travel
ier's story of the land where pigs ready roas-
ted ran about squealing "come and eat u.s.
which, by the way, a Buckeye ought not
too obstinately doubtful the testimony up
on which they are based has become so strong
that we are almost persuaded to believe they
are something more than the rumors of land
spectators or political stockholders. We
have heretofore published but little, if any,
thing about this modern Ell Dorado, for the
very good reason that we were averse to lem
ding our aid TO circulate such extravaganza
and, as we believed, unfounded reports but
recent intelligence places the matter in a diff.
ferent light. The Presidents Mes sage, OF.
fetal communications from officers in the
Army and Navy, the assaying of specimens
of the gold at the Philadelphia Mint &c. &c.,
have together induced us to copy the article
on our first page, which presents the sub
stance of the thousand and one stories that
are published in different forms. Whether
these be true or not, one thing is
certaln--the gold fever is raging throughout
the land. Vessels filled with adventures
have sailed from Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore, and we know not
how many other sea ports, and many others
are preparing TO leave; and we see it announ-
ced that an expedition is to leave Cleveland
early in the spring. Some of these who go
alter riches may return wealthy, but much
OF the gold that is discovered will be speedi-
ly squandered by its finders, and hundreds,
perhaps thousands, will die poor, miserable
wretches. the victims of disappointment and
sickness engendered by privation and suffer-
ing in their search after gold. The Asiatic
Cholera will doubtless be less destructive to
human life in its visit to this country than
will the California gold fever, which, even
when it leaves the body uninjured, curses the
soul as only Mammon can curse.

would 60 with him but as the advocate Of
the eternal principle Of truth and justice, he
never would submit TO give one man the con-
troll Of another mans liberty. Any such at
tempt struck at the very foundation of his
principles. Every feeling of his soul shrunk
with adherence from the proposition. He
stood here as the advocate Of our common hu-
manity; he stood here TO uphold these rights,
and to demand that the enduring principles
Of justice should be metei out to every indi-
vidual in the District of Columbia. He did
not come here the advocate of any peculiar
rights-of one man claiming rights over an
other. He stood here on sound Democratic
principles
The SPEAKER said, the Chair must ar

According to the rule, if debate arose on any
proposition or resolution, it must, except by
general consent, 60 over one day.

Negro Rising.

An event has just occurred in Arkansas,
on one Of the large plantations of that State,
which irresistibly reminds US of the upte cav
ings and popular struggles for freedom, in .he
petty principalities on the European CONT
nent. Col. William Polk, the owner of the
plantation, and of its laborers, recently died.
Very soon after this event, his slaves, amount
ing it is said to some three hundred, rose in
open rebellion, helped themselves to what
food and clothing they desired, and asserted
their freedom. Such at leasti is the substance
of information communicated to the editor of
the Memphis Appeal, by a gentleman from
Walnut Bend, the scene of the disturbance.
And there seems nothing unreasonable In The
account. 1t is just what happens in The pet
ty sovereignties of Europe every little while,
on the death of the sovereign or master, and
only what is happening just now in many Of
them without such death. The Appeal says,
on the authority named, that "some efforts
were made by the few white persons about
the premises to restrain them, but these were
Of no avail. The negroes allege that their

Legislative Proceedings in s. Carolina

The following resolutions have heen intro
duced into the Senate Of South Carolina, by
the Honorable Joseph A.. Black
/. Resolved, That there is good reason 10
apprchend that il is the deliberate intention
of the people of The Northern States Of this
Union, to embody into any bill which may
be passed by Congress, organizing Terrific
rial Governments for New Mexico and Cali
fornia, a provision for excluding slavery from
said territory.
2. Resoived, That we would regard the pas
sage Of such law by Congress, as a gross
violation of the Federal compact, an outrage
upon the rights Of the Southern States, and
a wanton, undisguised insult; and that a sub
mission thereto would be degrading and in
famous.
3. Resoired, That the State Of South Car
oIina never will, in any contingency, or under
any circumstances, submit TO any law passed
by Congress by which slavery shall be ex-
cluded from any territory belonging to this
Government, and lying south Of the parallel
Of thlrty-six degrees, thirty minutes of north
latitude.
4. Resolved, That in the event Of the pas
sage of such a law by Congress, that the Co.
vernon of this State, for The time being, con-
vene the Legislature thereof Immediately, in
order that such action may be taken as shall
be deemed necessary and proper.
s. Resolved, That the State OF South Car
DINA earnestly invites the attention of her
sister States of the South TO this important
subject, and is ready to meet and consult with
them, at such time and in such manner as
may be deemed advisable, as TO the best and
most e%ffectual mode of avoiding or resisting
the dangers with which we are, in common,
threatened.

Abolition in the District.

Joshua Il. Giddings, having obtained leave
to introduce "A bill to authorize the people
of the District of Columbia TO express their
desire as to the existence Of slavery therein"
presented a bill, providing for the assembling
of all the male inhabitants of the District over
twenty-one years of age who have resided
there one year, on the first Monday of April
next, at the City Hall, there to elect three
Judges and two Clerks, who shall receive
tickets on which shall be written SLAVERY
or LIBERTY and shall report to the House
and Senate the number of votes thus cast
He stated that a number of the leading men
in the District had desired that such a law
should be passed, had requested him to pre-
pare the bill. and that every citizen with
whom he had conversed upon the subject APP
proved Of the measure. In the course of the
debate the presentation of such a bill elicit
ed,
Mr.. TOMPKINS, of Mississippi, said
that ne had probably not distinctly heard the
reading Of the bill but he understood one of
Its provisions TO be, that every male inhabi-
'oh' vi po DlSlIlCl over lWenly-One years OIL
age, should vote at the contemplated conven-
ton. Now, he wished the gentleman to en-
plain whether, in using that expression, it
was his Intention that negroes, bond and free,
or negroes, bond or free, were to take part in
this expression of public sentiment1
Mt. GlDDlNGS said, that when he look
ed abroad upon the family of man, he knew
no distinctions. He knew of no person in
this District that did not come from the same
creating hand that formed himself, or the
gentleman from Mississippi, IMr. Tomp-
kins and when he (Mr. g. spoke of the
people o: this District, he meant precisely
what he said. He meant every male inhabi-
tant of the District of Columbia over twenty
one years of age. He did not draw any dis
tinctions. He would not suffer the man who
held his fellow-man in bondage to say wheth-
er he would do this thing or not, and then re-
fuse to put the question TO him who was thus
bound. If the gentleman from Mississippi
choose 10 offer an amendment excluding both
the STAKEHOLDER and the slave, he (Mr. G)

Compromise.

SAN effort is TO be made to settle the Dues
ton Of slavery in the new territories, during
this session. A letter says that the free soil
ers are determined 10 maintain the freedom OF
the soil from slavery in California but would,
perhaps, leave New Mexico to the DISPOSE.
ton of Texas, whose claims to that territory
may receive a favorable consideration. Ii
the Southern democracy accept these terms,
1t is said the free sellers will be satisfied
and the two wings of the party may again
harmonise. On these terms, and on these
only it is said will the free s~oilers of New
York ever consent to fight side by side with
the HuDkers."
So says the Washington correspondent OF
the /" Pittsburgh Gazette" upon whose au-
thority the statement is given. Washington
letter writers are too often very poor authori-
iy, and we are hardly disposed to believe
without further evidence the above assertion.
And yet 1t may be true, for this is the way
political differences are generally retlled-by
compromise and the South in such cases al
ways manage to play the part of the white
man who said to the Indian when dividing
the game they had killed, "you take the
'possum and I'll take the deer, or I'll take
the deer and you take the 'pOssum."

brass statute of General Jackson erected al
the Capital, and we would suggest 10 Con-

The Legislature.

Is il organized, or is it not is the question
that is asked by thousands day after day,
and the only way in which an answer can
be obtained is by consulting the newspapers
or the magnetic telegraph. The great sun
would be worth but little for any practical pur-
pose, II, instead of determining by its light
and warmth that it shone upon the earth,
people were obliged 10 consult an almanac
to ascertain the fact and we think the as
sembled wisdom Of Ohio has no; much room
for self-complacency, when instead of the
light and warmth of its legislative acts testi-
flying of its existence, its constituency can
only learn the fact from the newspapers and
the telegraph. We should think the
members of the unorganized Legislature
it it be yet unorganized - would feel ra-
Their cheap in finding that things 90
on, to say the least, quite as well in Ohio
at the present time as if the Legislature w as
framing a dozen new laws a day, and pocket
ing a handsome sum for so doing. Murders
have not increased, robberies have not been
more frequent, buildings are not oftener fired a.,
and blackguardism, rowdyism and other vio-
latlons of the laws of decency as well as
those OF Ohio, are no more prevalent than
they used TO be, always saving and except
ing the exhibitions in the State CAPITOL
Would not the people Of Ohio be great gain
ers by offering the members elect of the Lee
gislature a double price for not organizing,
for it strikes us that Ohio has laws enough,
and TO spare, to lasther for a century 10 come !
We learn that up to the 2lst inst, the
House was in a state of delightful confusion,
but a teIegraphic despatch subsequently re-
ceived at Pittsburgh, says that it temporarily
organized with Letter, a Democrat, for chair
man, and Nc Clure, a Free Soil Wing, for
Clerk. Whether they will succeed in min

cure one of The same metal, representing the
American deity, COMPROMISE, in the act of
adjusting a difficulty between the North and
the South; and should it be thought desira-
BILE 10 personify the contending parties, the
former could be cheaply constructed of

Had the present generation Of American
staiesmen-or their ncestors-been inhabi-
tants of heaven when, according to Milton,
Michael and his angels warred with the Devil
and his angels, we have it from good author
ity that things would never have come to
such a pass, for matters would certainly have
been compromised, and a union formed-as
sacred almost as the American Union-be-
tween Satan and Jehovah.
But the reported offer to compromise is it
true, think YET Men who will so compro-
mise theil principles as to consent to the ex-
istence Of slavery in fifteen States out of thir-
ty, may possibly consent to it in sixteen out
Of thirty two. They can give no sufficient
guarantee that they will not for if they JUS
tify a departure from principle under any pos
sible circumstances, how can it be known
when they will remain firm, when they will
waver, when they will yield!

OF The first No. of SARTAIN's UNION
MAGAZINE is a most splendid affair; and if
there is aught in the atmosphere of Philadel-
phia which suits the constitution of maya
zines better than that of New York, the IN
ion has certainly received the full benefit of
it, for although the issue from the latter city
was very good, that from the former is a great
improvement upon it. The No. for January
contains three splendid Mezzo,into engra-
wings, "The Annunciation," "The Mother
and Child" and a title page representing
Liberty introducing Science and the Arts to
America; these with eight other illustrations
complete the embellishments. Its literary
contributions, which fill eighty large and
beautifully printed pages, are furnished by
some of the best writer's in America, and are
SO varied in their character that all tastes can
be suited. Such a Magazine is decidedly
