Signs of Returning Reason.

II seems that the Legislature OF the State OF
Massachusetts, decided on Friday last, by vote
of two hundred and sixty-eight to one, that the
fanatics who petitioned that body for dissolution
of the Union might have leave to withdraw their
petitions Mr.. Tolman, of Worcester, was the
member who voted in the negative. II we are not
very much mistaken, Mr.. Tslman, in common
with the other members of the Legislature of Mas
sachusetts, while taking the customary oath that
members of that body mast take, swore solemnly,
hat he would support the constitution OF the
United States. If he did so, We would like to
know how he reconciles his vote those petitions
with that oath.
This, however, is a matter purely personal. We
are glad TO see that there is some evidence OF re-
turning reason IN Massachusetts,; and the una
nimity with which this vote was carried will be
come recompense TO the Southern States for the
injury which the Boston fanatics have inflicted on
them. 1t will show that the people of New Eng
land are not quite so demened as one might sup
Jose, on the slavery question.
While on this subject, we think this good op-
pcrtunlty TO refer TO the folly and nonsense per-
petrated by the legislatures of this and other
Northern States, in passing resolutions expressive
tf the viii OF the people, they facetousy call it.,
on the slavery question, and apparently designed
10 have an effect ON the deliberations Of Congress.
Now those woud.be important gentlemen know
very well, that in nine times out Of ten, or we
might say in ninety-nIne times out of hundred,
that they do not express the will of the people or
hat question, and they know fully as well thai
heir expressions vf il, or their resolutions, are
Intended for a very different purpose That pur
Pose is TO make htte capital for themselves
They have no more to do with the deliberations o
Congress than Congress has TO do with the dirty
streets Of New York, which, by the way, are al
filthy new as they ever were, and they know it
Besides that. IN going out of their way TO "expres
he will Of the people," they have neglected theil
own legitimate business, which they are paid tc
attend TO. We have seen enough of this humbus
IN our own State Legislature this winter; and the
resolutions recently passed by that body on th'
slavery question are, as an expression OF the PeoP
oi the Empire State, entitled TO just as much a
theJ are wor,h-whieh Is, nothing at all

DEPLoRABLE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN GUADA-
LoUPE.-A correspondent of the New York Herald
writing from Point Petre, under date Of May 25th,
has the iollowing
Allow brother of the press, who has been al
ways received by your kindness, 10 give you an
account OF the mlseries Of this poor colony.
Slneethe events which took place in France, the
French colonies have become the prey of the most
ardent socialism. The negroes taught by this infer
nal school, have refused to work on the plantations,
and have invaded the cities, where, in the most
abIeet misery, they lead a disorderly life. Our
government, fearing the reign of socialism in
France, could not show firmness enough to struggle
against this state of things consequently, there is
no more production on the island. Twenty. three
thousand casks of sugar will be the crop of this
year, while in lS47 the island produced seventy
thousand; there is, therefore, no more commerce.
bankruptcies have succeeded the withdrawal of the
funds by the capitalists. Ships come in ballast, and
are, unhapply, Obliged to 60 back in ballast. Such
a stale oil things cannot continue the misery is
extreme, the despair is profound, and the emigra-
ton OF several rich families has crowned our trou
bles.
On the l4th of May, during the night, a terrible
lire was discovered in the city of Pointe-a Petre ;
slxty-lve houses were burnt The fire was the re-
suit of an immense plot
The above fully explains the accounts which we
have received of the burning of ST. Pierre and
Pointe a-Petre.

met all former appeals The young girls, to the
number Of two hundred clsd IN their neat and uni

care Of the faithful Margaret, and their happy
faces told more powerfully upon the hearts Of their
auditors than ike most impressive language could
express. The exercises Of the evening were Of a
very gfadtying character. The recitatons Of the
Orphans proved the careful culture of the good
Slstefs and reelected credit upon then pupils. ].
~ Mathewsoh, Esq, delivered a fervent and elo-
quent aadress, which was received with that ap-
plause which its many excellencies merited. The
amateurs acquitted themselves admirably, and the
original Ode, sung by the children, was very
sweetly trilled forth. Mr.. J. O. Duncan, Of the
Crescent, presented some interesting statistict.
relative to the rise, progress and present situation

In our Mondays paper, at the request of the

tending exercises Of the evening.

BY the arrival of the steamship Palmetto Capt.
Smith, we have received Galveston dates to the
Sd inst We have also by mail the interior papers.
We CLEAN the following. The Galveston Journal
of the I'd inst says:
Private adyices from the interior bring us more
favorable accounts Of the growing crops Although
late the cotton crop is beginning to look much bet
ter, and hopes are now entertained by those who
have good stands, that they may yet realize some.
thins near an average yield. Much, however,
depends upon the future should the remainder of
the season be favorable and with a late Frost and
without caterpillar, good portion of the State will
not tall short OF an average crop. These are evils
from which the cotton crop of late years is never
safe, until the season is very far advanced The
high price that cotton has commanded the present
season has encouraged every planter to 90 into its
culture to the extent of his ability. From our per-
sonai knowledge the number of acres planted in
cotton this season greatly exceeds the last wear,
and with ordinarily good season we think il NAV
be safely calculated that the crop of Western
Texas will fully equal that of last year, notwith-
standing the unfavorable weather we have had this
spring. Corn crops are, we believe, good, and we
near no complaints of the cane The Brazos river
Is again falling. Il has done but little injury, not
having been over its banks, except in two or three
very low places
We learn from the Civilian that J H. Magill
LOT several years citizen of Galveston, committed
suicide during fit of arrangement.
a 1erman named II. I. Cough was found dead
near the Convention the Both ult He had been
drinking freely, and his death was probably the
result
The steamer Ogden arrived at Galveston from
nrazos river on the Goth. The water was falling
and all apprehension of an overflow at an end.
!, letter from Bastrop says that the prospect for
sle crops is good IN that quarter, Notwithstanding
heavy rains
A detachment of Capt. Grumble's companv or
hangers, consisting of twentyfv men, has been
stationed on the Aqua Dulce, about TWENTY-FIVE
miles IN the rear of Corpus Christi.
