The New Orleans Courier, an old demo-
cratic press, sends forth the following cheering
note -
'We are sorry to observe that Texas is in
terrible condition Of excitement in consequence
of the construction of state government in
New Mexico. Meetings are held throughout
the state, in which the proceedings of the gem
eral government are denounced in the most vi
olent language. No one can condemn our fel-
low citizens of Texas for expressing the indig-
nation they Justly feel at the wrongs with
which they are menaced. But under better
auspices let us hope that all will yet be well.
We apprehend there are emissaries in Texas,
sent thther by the disorganizers in congress,
to inhame the public mind and make things ap-
pear worse than they are in reality. If the
death of General Taylor defeated the plans of
the free soilers, it has also been fatal to the
hopes of southern disorganizers. The Union
is safe -

utmost to create here such universal abllor-

Mn. CLAY IN TuB FIELD. A Washington
correspondent of the Charleston News writes
on the 18th as follows:
From number of circumstances, apparently
triflng in themselves, it is now quite evident
that Mr.. Clay will be the Wing candidate for
the next Presidency, independent of conven-
ton. An immense number of his portraits,
with the words Henry Clay and no Conven-
ton in 1882" are Travelling through the mails.

Hartford, on Wednesday, tho following candi-
dates were put in nomination for the election

Two slaves belonging to VIM. Taylor, of

was under weigh, but was overhauled and tho
negroes rescued and carried back to Norfolk
Jail.

Crumbling-.-A Good Sign.

Complaints like those which follow from tho
Washington correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Gazette, encourage the hope that the stupid
North may, at some time not far distant, be
kicked and cufcd into sense of the dcgrada-
ton involved in an alliance with shareholders.
The thirst for Office may operate where princi-
pie and manhness orc wanting. We hope Old
Zack will continue to bostow bis official pat

Northern Aunlics u lesson that they will not

Notwithstanding all contradictions here OF
elsewhere, Gov. Brown of Tennessee, has been
nominated Minister to Russia
Hon. Henry w. Hillord, of Alabama is 70 be
nominated Minister to Prussia, in Place of Han
ncguu, recalled.
When first referred to the reported nomina-
ton of Gov Brown, spoke off III warm COM
mcndation; but the ruiuor respecting the ap-
pointInont of Hilliard followed so close upon it,
| and view of certain facts relative to the dis
! tributon Of diplomatic patronage, has led me
to doubt whether it would not have been wiser
| to withhold commendation even from nomn-
alton so satisfactory, upon general grounds, as
that of Mr.. BIS. Should the rumor as TO Mr.,
billiards nomination prove correct, six or seven
foreign missions that would then have been nj
led, by Gen. Taylors administration, would be
held by gentlemen from the slave States. Yes,
al but one. 1t will be remembered that Mr..
Tod, of Ohio, who is at the Brazilian Court,
was appointed by Polk. Mr.. Lawrence, of Mas
sachusetts, has been sent to England, but the
representatives of our government in France,
Spain Russia, Mexico, and Chilli arc all citizens
OF the slave States and now it is said Prussia is
to be soon added to the list. Why is this Is
all the diplomatic talent of the country centered
at the South Or docs the South only require
foreign representation Let these questions be
answered, if they can be- Candor compels me
to say, what every one in view of the facts must
feel, that such partiality is here indicated is
unjust, intolcrable, disgraceful, and ought to be
promptly corrected. Did proper feeling pre-
vail in the Senate, upon the rights of the sever
al portions of the confcderacy, the opportunity
would yet be given the President and Cabinet
to reconsider the method of distribution they
seem to have followed in making these nomina-
tons. Out of seven appointments to iull mis-
sions, the fifteen States of the East, the West,
and the North centre, containing, rs they do,
two thirds of the population OF the country,
have obtained one This could not have been
the result Of design. So huge geographical,
statistical, and political oversight, must have
proceeded from the negligence of subordinatcs.
Commissions have been made out in tho wrong
names, and delivered to the wrong persons.

POPULAR EDucATIoN.-The New York Tri-
bune complains, very justly VIC think, that the
study of Greek and Latin is enforced so rigidly
in our Colleges and Academies, TO tho neglect
of the Modern Languages, which it is so neccs-
sary for men in active life to understand, and to
the disparagcment of the Natural Sciences, a
knowledge of which is almost indispensable to
the usefulness of an American citizen. The Tri-
bune pithily says:
There may be possibly few benighted indi-
viduals in this community, who still persist in
calling Physiology a humbug, but the ability to
scan a Latin verse an object of laudablo ambi-
tion who consider knowledge of book-keep-
ing well enough for mechanic or pcdlar, but
the ability TO give the principal parts of Greek
verb indispensable to mans future usefulness
to himself and to his country who will tell you
that n knowledge of the Constitution aud Laws
of the United States, and of their native State,
is all baldordash but familiar acquaintance
with tho follics and often vulgarities and obsce-
mites of Greek and Latin Mythology, the res
pectivc ranks of the gods, demigods and god
desses of antiquity, their amours, the pranks
they played, and the capcrs thoy cut--many Of
them ofquestionable propricty, iftrue--calcula-
ted to fit man admirably for the part he has
TO play in the great drama of life, in this nine
tccnth century; but It is well for the rising gen.

XXXIst Congress.

Tuesday, Feb 5.-In the SENATE Mr.. Clay
commenced n formal argument in support of his
Compromise Resolutions. Noticed elsewhere.
The HousE did nothing of any Importance.
Fe6. G.--In the SENATE Mr.. Mangum present
cd resolutions adopted by meeting of citizens
of Wilmington, n. c., adverse to legislation, by
Congress, on the question of Slavery, with a
few remarks, in which he asserts what he be-
licved to be the rights, and tho feelings of the
South. Tho South had reached point where
they had planted their foot, and upon which, by
the blessing of God, they expected TO stand and
defy all efforts to despoil them of their rights,
whether by force or otherwise. She would new
or consent to legislative action which shall de-
prive them of an equal participation in the ter
ritorios acquired from Mexico.
Mr.. Hale objected to the reception Of the res
olution, and proceeded to say, that Mr.. Man
gum himself had, carly in the session, said, that
when any papers looking to any action OF the
Government, adverse TO Slavery, were present.
cd here, and objected to, the question was taken
upon receiving them, and the motion was laid
on the table. Mr.. Hale simply desired that the
rule should be allowed to work with reference
to papers on the Southern side Of the question
also, and that the motion to receive these reso-
lutions should also be laid upon the table, The
gentleman has accused the North of aggression.
He would like that gentleman to point out the
first line, or word, by the North, which was ag-
gressive-so far from that, the whole history of
the North shows their course has been conces-
sion, until their very women and children were
upbraiding them for it. He made his motion
simply to give gentlemen an opportunity to
show the appropriateness Of Justice and Equal
ity.
The question being taken upon the motion, it
was rejected by--Ycas 2, Nays 48.
| Mr.. Clay finished his speech.
The HOUSE, after contest, in which Slavery
was the chief topic, adopted the Senate's rcso-
luton to purchase the original MS. Of Wash

leo, be given to every free negro who will occu-
py it.

over slavery.

subject of slavcry--assuming the middle ground
of Cancellation and concession by both parties.

J. c. Fremont and Wm. NJ. Gwin were elected.
Gov. Burnett's Message is not worry well spo-
ken of While he says nothing against Chinese,
Kanackers, dcbased Chilcnos, Sydney thieves,
and other outsiders, coming freely into the
State recommends the erctusion, IN toto, Of free
negroes. He thinks that if allowed to immi-
CRATE they will form contracts in tho Southern
States for one or more years with their masters,
and thus be, to all intcnts and purposes, slaves.
We think this objection, (says the Tribune, }
may be easily got over by the States declaring
all such contracts null and void. We do not
perceive that the Message treats of any other
matters of note.

calamity.
CANADA.-The project of annexing Canada to
the United States is not likely TO succeed very
speedily the English Cabinet, instead of favor
ing, having taken a very decided stand against
it, and even proclaimed her purpose, at what
ever sacrifice of blood and treasure, to maintain
the present relations Of the Colony to tho Brit
ish crown.
MEANS OF ARREsTINe THE FATAL EFFEcTs OF
CHIoRoFoRM-An eminent Surgeon of France
relates two cases in which the inhalation OF
Chloroform proved nearly fatal. He however
succeeded in reviving his patients after all ordi-
nary means had failed, by placing his mouth up
on theirs, and forcibly initiating the lungs by
rapid aspirations and cxpirations. A medical
practitioner in Paris states that in two instances
of approaching dissolution by the inhalation Of
Chloroform, no recalled life by thrusting two
fingers deep into the throat, down to the larynx
and gsophagus; a sudden movement of expira-
ton followed, and recovery tookplaco.

A Good Witness.

Thomas Jones, once slave in North Caroli-
ma, in speech before the Massachusetts, A. S.
Society, reported in The Liberator, gave this
testimony;
He had often heard that William Lloyd Gar
r1son and his friends talked against religion
But since he had heard and known them for
himself, he found it was not so. He found Mr.
Garrison teaching religion which inculcated
love to God and love to man, and he thought
VIM. Lloyd Garrison and his friends had got
the best church he knew of anywhere. Mr..
Garrison and has Church had taken compassion
on the poor, ignorant and degraded slave, had
remembered him in his bonds, in his sufierings,
in his hunger, i'll his thirst, and had shown their
love for God, whom they have not seen, by low
ing their brother whom they have seen.
Who can deny that the Fugitive has applied
here the true test by which genuine religion is
to be distinguished from that which is spuri-
Gus, We had rather have the testimony of
this escaped bondman to the living reality and
power of our faith, than that of any assembly
of Divines in tho world. He knows whose
disciple it was who gave him the cup of Free
dom, and his thanks are the spontaneous out
gushings of grateful heart.
