Curious Punishment for COnjugal Infldelity

A few days ago. the inhabitants of Barnardcas-
tie, Durham were amused by the town crier pro-
claiming the following: Eng. paper.
"Mr. John Kay is going to burn Mrs Kay's
clothes upon the Demesnes Hill, and he invites Mr..
Hopper to the fire which is now kindling" The
crier commenced at Mr.. Hopper's door, and it be-
ing the dinner hour he was followed by dense
crowd of people. They proceeded to the Denies
nes field near the town, upon a hill; very large
fire of wood and straw was made by Mr.. Kay (who
is an innkeeper in the town. upon which he laid all
the valuable wearing apparel and artic les of his
wife, which consisted of satin and silk dresses, in
Guiding nearly the whole of her bridal garments
muslin dresses, shawls, victorines bonnets. veils
caps artifcials, parasols pair of beautiful stays
stockings, brooches, rings, fine cloak, quantity
of bed linen pin cushion with the inscription
"welcome little stranger" upon it, and great ma
ny more clothes of all descriptions. These clothes
we're considered to be worth at least ESQ. 1t il
supposed that Mr. Kay's reason for doing this wa
conjugal inidelity the part Of his wife. In thu
evening of the same day large crowd paraded th'
town with an efigy, which was burnt in front q
Mr. Hopper's house in Gallgate street.

Speech of Senator Hunter.

The speech of Senator HUNTER, which we
publish to-day, on the bill to abolish the
slave trade in this District will be read with at.
tentior. The reputation Of the speaker as n
statesman and rcasoner, and the magnitude OF
the subject arc enough to secure it general
perusal.
If this bill passes, the institution of slavery
will be placed under the law of the Federal Gov
ernment. A principle will be established which
will be extended and applied to all other cases
where the Federal Government has power OF
claims power. If it'be right for this Govern
ment to prohibit the buying and selling OF slaves
in this District, it is right to prohibit their en-
pioyment in forts, dock-yards, and arsenals' Fol
any Interference with the commerce in slaves

"a conclusion that Congress- has no more righ

other question in ethics or theology, not com

changes are crowded with accounts OF Southern
Rights Meetings. all of which breathe the spirit
of calm resolve. A resistless food-tide of pub
lie sentiment sets strongly in one direction and
pettifoging politicians might rs well seek to
swim up the current ofthe Mississippi as to stem
that resistless current or change its direction.
The people of the South understand their rights,
and will most certainly maintain them. Neither
force nor fraud will avail now to prevent them

The Missouri LINE-Thirty years ago, after
one of the most protracted and alarming debates
ever witnessed in any deliberative body, this
line was agreed upon as the compromise between
the North and the South. We de not know
that any mathematical calculation has been made,
showing precisely hove this line divides the
newly acquired terrtery; but we have seen it
repeatedly stated, and never denied that it gives
t,oo-thirds to the North If this is trae-f it is
an indisputable fact-with what propriety-with
what justce-with what truth, can the South be
accused of being unreasonable! From daily nc.
cumulating evidence Of public sentiment, the
people are settling down upon this line, and we
sincerely hope it will be occupied as platform
broad and capacious enough for all the friend,
Of justice to stand upon. and there remain, unit
the controversy shall be Mississippi

The New Era.

We are invited to enter on new Era in the
Government of this country. The measures
now pending before Congress, and supported by
al extraordinary coalition of parties, will, If
adopted, establish three principles entirely new
in our legislation. These three principles are,
i. That the territory acquired by the United
States, is to be appropriated to the occupancy
of those only who adopt the institutions of that
pprtion of the States having the most votes.
9. That the territory belonging to single
State. may be alienated and transferred to the
more numerous section, if it can be accomplished
by offering the alternatives Of an enormous sum
Of money held out in one hand, and the sword
in another, to the State that claims it.
3. That in this District, the common territory
Of all the States, ceded by Southern States, and
the seat of a common government, the people
of the fifteen most populous States may come
with any or all their property, and buy and sell
Mt pleasure-but those of the other fifteen States,
including the original owners Of this very soil,
are to be hereafter prohibited from bringing
here for the general purposes Of commerce: any
of that property, which constitutes large part
Of all they possess.
If these measures are adopted, this Govern
ment will have made more progress in one ses-
sion than in sixty years before. And following
rapidly in the channel of this Northern irruption,
we are threatened with bill to gipe the public
lands to actual settlers, which means to give
them to the multitudes of Northern and Euro
pean paupers. If the North can succeed in
wrestling all California and New Mexico, from
the South, the North will then have nearly all
the public domain within her limits, and will, by
granting it to actual settlers, not only defrand
the South of her interest in its value, payable in
to the public treasury but bribe the multitudes OF
Northern poor, and of European poor and even
some of the Southern, to swarm into it, to make
new Free-soil States, to surround and depopu.
late the slave-holding States, until having wound
her vast length around them, she could suffo'
cate and crush them like an Anaconda.

to whom we cannot refrain from rendering our
especial acknowledgements. The Hon. 7. L.
CLNGMAs, of North Carolina, has acted through
out this controversy, with zeal, an ability and
energy, that have never faltercd or wavered. In
this great controversy, he has known no party,
no friends, no interest, but those of the South
and of the Constitution. The South will never

Partition of Texas.

p
The Texas dismemberment and New Mexico
territorial bill--has passed II has passed the
House Of Representatives by majority Of ten
votes. And in our opinion it is the most ca
lamitous event which has yet befallen this Union
On day before yesterday only, this bill was de-
feated by majority of eight The day before
that, the bill containing the same provisions As
TO Texas, was defeated by the overwhelming
majority Of forty-six, Our readers will be at q
loss to comprehend these sudden and exten i've
changes. We publish to-day the successive votes
by yeas and nays on this measure, and commend
them to the serious consideration of the South
ern people. If public men, invested with stu
pendeus public trusts, can vote one way to-day
and another tomorrow, without further debate,
without any change in events, not only is the
Union failure but the representative system
is a failure. How can the people rely on a
representation thus inconsistent and unstable.
But the bill, us passed, accomplishes one great
object Of the Wilmot Proyiso-the bill does
more. The Proviso might have been adopted
by vote Of the House, rs proposed by WLMor
himself, to extend to the territories, and it would
not have applied to Texas, which is State.
The bill has passed, and with it is quenched
all hope of an equitable adjustment of the great
questions of the day by Congress. It's in vain,
now, to expect in that body any effectunl resist
anre to the usurpation of California, or to the alb
oition of the slave trade in this District, or to
any thing, the will of Northern majority.
We shall have immense canting about peace
and harmony, but there is none. The two
Houses of Congress have become mere, con-
trivance for the prosecution of a predatory war
by one section on another, through the for
mality of majority vote, and with an immense
expenditure of words, words, words
The question however, now goes to the peo
ple--and first to Texas and Georgia. On the
course they adopt will depend very much the
DESTINY of the South. All our accounts from
Texas unite in expressing her determined oppo-
sition to this scheme. As for Georgia, she has
spoken through her legislature, and multitude
of public meetings. Let her now prepare for
her Convention.
When winter comes the legislatures of the
other Southern States will assemble, and we
will then see what they meant by their resolu-
tions last winter If they shall determine that
in declaring their resolution to resist the Will
mot Proviso they meant the name, and not the
thing, then they will have ended the most COM
prehensive and memorable farce that has ever
beon enacted before the civilized world, and the
Spnth will have sunk to rise no more
"Unwept, unhonored and unsung.
But before that becomes her fate, it is our
opinion that
"Many banner will be torn,
And many knight to earth be borne.
