world than to the glory of the executives
who guaranteed its execution.
Whatever contentious it may give rise
to will be those of generous rivalry in the
arts and occupations OF peace. That
American enterprise and intelligence will
prove triumphant in this race, we have lit
tie doubt. We are not afraid to venture
our faith upon the skill and perseverance
of our own people. And in this contest
for supremacy, the United States have the
advantage of Europe in proximity to the
canal, and in the intimate and increasing
communication between our Atlantic and
Pacific seaboards which keep it in con-
slant use.
The Union concludes its article with
these words, put in double caps: GIVE
HAVE BEEN SOLD TO THE BRITISH" The
Union may well exclaim Of itself in that
language. II will be believed. We do not
intimate that the Union was sold for con-
sideration in the sense of lucre; and we
doubt if it would fetch much in any auc-
ton. But its passions sell it upon all oc-
casions. Its hatred of President TAYLOR
sells it. When the Administration was in
a controversy with M. PoUssIN, the Union
might well have said of itself, "We are
sold to the French" During the Rey
controversy it was "sold to the Spanish. "
In the matter of the steamship it was
"sold to the Dutch" In cholera times it
wellnigh sold itself to the pestilence. 1t
now cries aloud, owe are sold to the Brit
ish;" and the next sale it makes of itself
will be the sale which was once made by
DR.. FAUsTUs.

but we are not sure that the publication OF
articles calculated to inhame sectional AMI
mosities to higher heat than they have
already reached is the surest method OF
obtaining that end. The Jackson .Missis-
sippian no doubt returns the compliment
which has been paid it by reproducing oc-
casional extracts from northern Abolition
presses to keep the agitators in heart.
This kind of vicarious propagandism is the
most dangerous as it is the most plausible.
If the party press North continue to repro
duce the swagger and vapid nonsense Of
the ultra southern organs, and southern
presses requite the obligation by transfer
ring to their columns the rawlings of raw
head and bloody bones Abolitionists, they
may contrive to keep up alienation and
distrust little while longer. Paragraphs
of this nature are got up for expectation.
They are without honor in the neighbor-
hoods in which they appear. We assure
our contemporary of the Evening Journal
that the only consequence which the MIS-
siSsippian's statement obtains is found in
the false excitement which may be made
of it at the North, by regarding it in any
other light than as a contribution to the
mass of combustible nonsense with which
honest folk are burning their fingers.

The Albany Epening Journal copies
statement made by the Jackson .Mississip-
plan, to the effect that elf the proposition
to admit California into the Union fails, a
colony of five thousand slaves will be sent
into that Territory before the expiration of
the year." and comments upon it with a
gravity betokening the belief of the editor
in its truth. II is not possible that gen.
tleman so well informed upon all subjects
as not to be posted up in regard to this
one, can believe for a moment that the
fve-thousandth part of FIVE thousand
slaves will be sent to California before the
end of this or any other year, to be held
TO servitude there. These kind of para
graphs have been got up TO inhame the
animosity between the two sections of the
country; and the Epening Journal could
not have done the writer of the article of
the .Mssissippian greater service, or
more perfectly have answered his pur-
poses, than by copying it, and treating it
as serious thing. II is just as probable
that colony of FIVE thousand slaves will
be sent to New York before the end of the
wear, as 10 California; and more SO, as il
would cost less to transport them north
than across the continent, and sou thern
shareholders DESTROYS to emancipate their
property would likely choose the cheaper
plan.
We are as DESTROYS of seeing California
admitted into the Union as any one need be,

In Chicago in the latter Tart of July, Mrs.
Elizabeth ". Stckney, consort OF w. n. Stick
ney, Esq, of The former place.
The memory OF Mrs. Stckney, whose deceasc
is mentioned above. is deservedly dear to an ad-
miring acquaintance. OF mild AMI unassuming
manners. she conciliated esteep. without an ap-
parent effort; of correct api cultivated under
standing, her conversation was fund of in struc-
ton and entertainments of an amiabe and al
fectionate heart. she was an object of universal
regard Her religion was the reasonable hon.
age of grateful piety to a benifcent being-sanc-
toned by reason and eDl ghtened by revelation.
In the bloom of her days
She died docs youth, does beauty read the line,
Does sympathetic fear their breasts alarm.
Speak, Edear Eliza, breathe note divinei
Ev'n from the grave shalt thou have power to
charm.
Tell them tho It's an awful thing to die
Twas even to thee-yet the dread path once trod
Heaven lifts It's everlasting portals high
And bids the pure in heart .ehold their Cod.

The latest news from Havana is published
IN the N. Orleans papers o: the lst 1t is of
The 22d nlt., and brought to Charleston by
the steamship Isabel. Nothing of impor-
lance.
The following is extracted from cores
pondence to the Charleston Mercury, dated
Havana, July %:
Since last wrote you, one Of the prisoners,
A. b. GORE, has been pardon ed, and forty
one absOlved under the condition that they
should not be put at liberty here, but sent
from the country under vigilance, and with
penalty of Imprisonment if they were found
within two years, either in Cuba or Porto
Rico Com. Morris accepted them, and re-
fused 10 allow them 10 choose their own con-
veyance to the United Staso1, and sent them
TO Pensacola in the Albany, Captain Ran
dolph. The fate OF the others is uncert iin.-
Seven of them will probably receive soon T. s
same sentence with those who have already
mate, Grafton, and Hale, mate of the Susan
Loud, are in danger of the g,lleys. Com.
Morris saw them all few hours previous to
his sailing, but am told he took little or no
interest in them. He found poor Benson at
the Hospital, a raving maniac.
The little interest that has been shown by
the naval officers that have visited this port,
with the only exceptions of Captains Ran
dolph and Lowndes, in the prisoners, has ten
dcd more to confirm the Spanish authorizes
IN their course, than any conviction in theic
own minds of the legality OF their proceed
ings.
General Campbell goes in The steamer
Isabel, and, trust when he reaches Wash
ington. he will have the boIdness, as well as
The honesty, TO tell the Government the
| truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth. The Americans here have given him
letter expressing their 'nhdence in him,
and IA recognition OF his courteous department
as Consal.
There is no American man-ocwar in port
and but four or five merchant vessels. The
cholera has again subsidized, and we have only
the usual epidemic olthe season.
There is very little cholera in the city
The weather is very hot and rainy.
The Falcon, from Chagres, brought fifty
six passengers for New Orleans and New
York. and about $4,000 in gold dust, &C..
of which $4,000 was in the hands of passcn-

They are both young men, and anxious TO

counts Of the peregrinations Of one or the
other, up or down the river. in search Of a

to whisper in Moses ear, if we were near

A Washington letter says that upon the
adoption of MIR. Pearce's amendment to the
compromise bill. MIR. Clay was so annoyed
that, throwing up his hands he exclaimed,
Z" The work is done! nothing now remains
but for some one to move its indefinite post
ponemenL He himself remained in the
Senate chamber, however, until the amend
ment striking out the clause admitting Cali
fornia prevailed whereupun hat in hand, he
retired, with a smile of resignation on his
countenancc. Mr.. pearce by no means in
tended To effect the murder of the bill, of
which he was sincere supporter. His pur-
pose was to obtain an opportunity TO subsi-
tute something in the place of the "commis-
sioner clause, which should prove more sat
isiactory to himself and two or three other
friends oil the bill so he moved TO strike ont
all about Texas and New Mexico Five or
six of the friends ofthe bill joined its oppo.
nen,s, making u majority Of eleven for this
proposition. But once out, it was discovered
that a majority could agree upon nothing in
its stead Divers efforts to FIJI the gap were
made in vain. Then the fatal character of
the mistaken effort Of Pearce was realized
The clause admitting California as State
was stricken out by the united vote of the
&" California alone" men and the Southern
Senators. The former went for striking out
to rescue the dignity Of the applying State
the latter in order to keep her out Of the
Union.
