8GS. 1t is the policy of those who urge
the immediate admission Of California as a
State, to feel great deal of distress at the
appalling condition of the people of Califor-
MIA, without government Their " suffer-
ings is intolerable." Why it is that such
vast crowds continue to flock to such a
country we cannot divine-unless they go
from the very love Of misery, to be found
there, and incur the hardships on the way.
1t is proposed, we see, to refund to the
people of California the revenue collected at
the custom-house there, because they have
had no government. Why not refund to
the people Of every territory, before they
have government, the duties which they pay
For we suppose it will be admitted that
people who live even in the interior, consume
goods that pay duty. Is it not enough that
the people of California take possession,
without pay, Of the richest lands the worlI
ever knew-lands that belong to the people
of the United States, and commit incalcula-
BILE waste upon them? Is it not enough
that they have deliberately attempted to ex-
clude from these lands the people ofhalf those
States who acquired that territory Is all
this not enough-but that California is en-
titled to restitution of the customs and to the
poignant sympathy Of the most intense pa
triots in the land?

THE NORTH AND EAsT.-The senior editor OF
the Richmond Enquirer, on a tour through por'
ton of the Northern and Eastern States, writes
to his paper as follows:
"Our land is much better our resources more
abundant--yet, these Yankees, with their man
ufacturies, and ice, and grnite, and above all
theri skill in drawing from the treasures of the
South, IRE growing rich at our expense, and al
the same time insulting our institutions. 1t is
time that we were learning from experience to
take care of and defend ourselves"
We have abiding faith that the lime is not fal
distant The reviving spirit of entersrise in pub
lie works and manufactures, resting upon tho
broad and firm basis Of the superior agricultural
resources of the South, leads us to believe thai
the day is to come when the South will sway the
rank of this Union that England does in the Bri
fish kingdoms.

garian heroine, is, at present, at the Irving
House, in this city.
Miss Bremen is also on visit here, and
has taken rooms at the National Hotel.
ltseldom happens that two ladies so emf
!.ently distinguished (the one in the fields Of
action, the other Of thougbt) can be brought
into the presence Of those to whom they are
well known by the reputation so deservedly
acquired,

Those in italics are Southern.
1t will be seen that after all the cutlery Of
sectionalism against the South, it il only
about half as sectional as the North, in so
dignifed and impartial a body as the Senate.
Not a single Northern Senator roted scith
the South, whilst no less than eight South
ern Senators voted with the unanimous con-
solidated National North! OF all those de-
voted party allies of the South in the North,
on whose self-sacrifcing friendship and mag
nanimity we have been told to rely, not a
single Wing or Democrat voted with the
South. All voted with the Aboltionists,
HALE fellows well met
We are happy to state that several Of
the Southern Senators, who voted in the ne
gatve, did so because they did not think
the amendment adequate to the security Of
Southern rights.
The Missouri compromise thus rejected,
was originally adopted chiefly by North
ern votes. 1t then gave the South the
right to enter about one fourth of the terri
tory recently acquired. Now it is rejected
by the unanimous North, because it gives
the South about ne-fourth of the last ac-
quired territory, reserying the right to the
North of going into all.

REASONABLE PRoor.--In an eastern court, the
the other day, witness being asked how he knew
that man and woman were man an wife, replied,
because che had often heard the lady blow the
gentleman up" The evidence was held to be
conclusive.

Virginia Erect.

We are happy to see by the following ar
tcles, from leading Wing and Democratic
papers of Richmond, that divisions are dis
appearing from the sons of the Old Domin-
ion. They are sacrificing all minor diff sul-
tics
We thought we could not be mistaken in
the editor of the Enquirer, We look to his
pen, aswell as to that of the Times, for many
a stroke in the cause of Southern rights,
more powerful than from battlc-axe.
Virginia is entitled by her power, her
magnitude, and her historic fine, to be at
the head Of the South, rather than to dIag-
gle and dangle at the tail Of the North:
..-. From the Richmond Enquirer.
But there are are other mighty consequences OF
this high-handed movement, besides the general
Indignation it must excite against this frce-soil
Administration, and the fire of resistance to wanton
insult and injury that must pervade the whole of
Texas. We refer TO its inevitable effect upon the
Senate bill now pending. In the distraction of
Southern councils, as developed in the failure to
support the Nashville Convention, called merely

Illinois has shown there was no condition in the
act admitting Ohio, that The primary disposal Of
the soil should not be interfered with by the
States. The States. BY being created States, did
not acquire any right to the public properly of
the United States. Such had been the history of
the country, and such had been the decision of
the Supreme Court. The case had been argued
upon the treaty of1795 with Spain. upon the pro-
visions OF the Constitution Of the United States,
ana upon the act admitting Alabama This,
therefore, was a question Of constitutional law.
Jurldical question, a judicial ouesnon The
oi''eu ''a'es Mold the public lands for one pur-
pose ohiy-'o sell and dispose Of not to cultivate
or improve il.
II was the sovereignty Of Mexico, both over the
lands and the mines, which had been transferred
to the United States, and nothing more or less.
The hon. member had supposed that there
would be great danger to the rest Of the Un;on
from the large boundaries Of California. Ie ,h.,
was so, would il not be just great if YOU divide
the State into two or more' He apprehended
great danger from delaying the admission of Cali
forna. The hon. member from Louisiana had
asked, "What! California dream Of secession .
No, she dreamt of nothing. She thought not of
!" secession" but 'saccession' She must be in
the Union, before she could get out of it.
Mr.. KING desired to ask the Senator from
Massachusetts, whether the decision of the SUI
preme Court embraced the taxing power
MIR. WEBSTER replied that it did The States
could not tax the public domain, because Congress
possessed the sovereignty.
Mr.. DAVIS, massachusetts, had a few words
to say on the general question, and would proceed
now if il were agreeable.
Mr. CLAY preferred that the vote should be
taken. The Senator would have ample opportu-
nifty to give his views.
The qestion was taken on Mr.. SoULE's amend
ment, and it was rejccted--yeas 10, nays &c.
Mr. DAVIS, Of Massach usetts, spoke against
the bill as being merely shirk to avoid the ques-
ton. He wanted to meet the question fairly and
not to avoid it.
Mr.. CLAY wanted the final vote to be taken on
Wednesday or Thursday next.
Mr.. YULEE gave notice that he would offer an
amendment to protect shareholders in the enjoy
ment of their property in the territories.
The Senate then went into Executive session,
and afterwards adjourned. +&r

that TO defray the expense OF publishing new edition
