IL Some time since, the New York
Courier & Enquirer, in expressing its salts
faction at the passage of the California Bill,
gave vent to its spleen in the following
falsehood and SANDER:
alt will be cause of grief to those only
who wish i'll so the harmony of the Union
and those who are ready to sacrifice every
thing tc the interests of slavery
We regret to see a statement so notoriously
untrue as this, copied and endorsed by the

SOUTHERN MANUFAcToRY.

Some specimens of twil'ed and plain Lin
sey, manufactured at the Lebanon Factory,
Tennessee, have been shown us, and to our
inexperienced eye and touch, they certainly
seemed superior to the Kentucky, or any
other Of the kind we have ever noticed.
They have the advantage over the Ken
lucky in being "died in the wool, black
or brown. The name of the weaver is al
tached TO each bolt aud the number of the
loom from which it was turned off, so il
there should be any cheat in the quality

PEOT,ISEI.

The Peon System, recognized by the
constitution of Mexico, is a far more OBJ
jectionable species Of servitude than that
in practice among us. By it every one,
who may be so unfortunate as to be unable
to pay his debts, may be sold as a slave, and
their emancipation is utterly hopeless.
Eternal se:vitude is thus made the lot OF
every poor wre CHI who, by misfortune OF
any kind, may fail to meet the demands Of
heartless Shylocks. Not only so, but even
his wife and children. Thus the very
choicest spirits in the country, may become
its victims. What shall we think then Of
that disgusting hypocrisy which is laborine
to rob Texas of large portion of her ter.
ritory, in order to save it from slavery, and
yet encourage and approve this revolving
and horrible institution!

20 The Vicksburg Wing of the 7th inst,
in an article upon the subject of "non-inter-
ventions," shows itself to be about as near
right upon the "policy of non. intercourse
with the North" as it can be expected of a
Wing paper to be upon any subject.
1t says:
Without expressing any special admiration
for the spirit in which this policy is proposed,
we may say that, iC it were adopted, the
South would soon become more prosperous
and independent than she ever has been, OF
can ever hope to become in the pursuance o.
the opposite course. We do not think thai
the South ought to depend so much on the
North as she does, even If the latter were L
pay for her custom BY fberalily on the sub,
ject Of slavery.

o. We notice in the Carrollton Democrat
of the 7th inst that the Governor has ordered
an election to be held in that county for Sen
ator to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death
of Maj. Beniamine Kennedy. This taken in
consideration with the threatening aspect Of
cffairs in Texas, looks like preparation for
an extra session ofthe Legislature. We hope
it may not be necessary, but are glad to see the
Governor with both eyes open, determined not
to be taken by surprise.

| The census is now being taken in this
place, and it is somewhat entertaining TO see
with what an interest wi!e-hunting old batche-

he calls for their ages, and if they don't take
a quiet peep at the list of the ages of young
bachelors.

dirty paragraph from the Crescent, Of the 50

upon its dignity. The paragraph contains
neither sense, wit, nor decency. TIE slight

have induced more respectful language, when
applied to a sheet dear TO, and more eagerly

and the very scurviest Of the breed, to trace
any resemblance to it, and that noble and

FUGITIVE SLAVE BILL

We give below the 9Th Section of II.
Fugitive Slave Bill, which is not only So,
ously Objectionable, but in our estimate,
destroys the whole efficacy Of the Bill. Il
the claimants OF slaves have to pay the e,
o nses Of "Marshals, Deputies, Clerks and
Justices" and other expenses attending lbs
arrest Of slaves. It vii: be worse than Glv
ever TO attempt to reclaim one. If such
thing should be attempted in any Of the new
States, that will be, where the Peon System
pr,vails, the master will not only lose hi,
slave, but sold as a slave himself, TO pay lbs
expenses of prosecution.
Sect. 8. And be IL further enacted, That
the marshaIs, their deputies, and clerks Of the
said district and territorial courts, shall be-
paid Cor their services the like fees as may be-
allowed to them for similar services in other
cases; and where such services are rendered
exclusively in the arrest, custody, and dey.

Gov. ou1TMAu AND THE WING.

GOV. ourT1AN AND THE WING.
We are by no means deeply versed in the
principles Of International or constitution
law; but, it strikes us very forclbly that me
ABOVE letter from our worthy Governor
greatly mistakes, if it does not mIstate the
true issue in reference to the Texan bound
ary difficulties. I'm the annexation resoin-
tons. the exclusive control of settling she
Texan disputed "caim" of boundary with
Mexico. was reserved 70 the General Gov
eminent; and, Of course, after the war and
the conquest of the country claimed by
General Kearney, the people oil the Union
stood, as it were, in the shoes OF Mexico,
and became possessed of its equity to the
territory in controversy wing.
We took some pains last week, in an ar
article upon the Texas Boundary, to show
that the General Government, owing to the
position she occupied, could not possibly
get in the shoes Of Mexico, but that pair
had been loaned her by Texas a: the time
of annexation, and she now found them to
fit so neat and comfortable, she still persists
in wearing,in contempt of the demand made
upon her by the rightfu owner. 1t will be
unnecessary therefore, for us to notice iurth-
err the gross error into which our neighbor
has fallen, owing to her no; being "deeply
uersed IN tile principles Of International
and constitutional iaw." A little better
acquaintance with those principles might
sometimes save our neighbor from being so
''forcibly struck" by "our worthy Cover
nor"
The Wing goes or to say:-"we are also
astonished that as ga States Rights man. y
Governor Qutman should, without being
asked, volunteer to call the Legislature to-
gether, to interfere III the affairs Of the SOW
ereign State of Texas, such pragmatic con-
duct IN eur opinion, is at war with his pro-
fessions of political faith, and is the offspring
of blind prejudice, incapable of seeing
: only one side Of very knotty, perplexed

Governor possesses the capacity Of CASTOR
