a ulthy pricS. ne New orleans llCaAuhe,
man or men, ought to have our best atJon-
ton. During the difficulty between Eng
and and the United States ON the Oregon
question, the Liverpool European Times,
paper with an extensive circulation IN this
country, was somewhat severe in its remarks
on the policy Of the United States, they
were natural, if not truthful The Picayune
was down on the Times like a thousand
blocks of granite (Yankees) for It's English
view OF the question; the Times was scored,
because it did not pander to American in

doing now? | fear the conductors of that
PAPER have lost their American feelings for

the slavery question, their southern leg res
ting on Clay, Berrien, Downs, Pearce, Foote,
and other southern gentlemen with northern
feelings Such men as Mason, Hunter,
Butler, Barnwell, Yul9e, Soule, and JeiT.
Davis, are held up to the public gaze by
these wiseacres as disunionists, associated
with Hale, Chase, and Seward who are
ultra abolitionists.
The Picayune says OF Mr.. Peorces Texas
bill GAS a southern question, it may not
be disputed that measure supported by
two such able and unimpeachahle southern
statesmen as William r. King, of Alabama,
and John McP Berrien, of Georgia, is one
that may be accepted with honor and secu.
rity. As an expedent measure for settling
the boundary with Texas 1t may be also
assumed that the vote of the Texas Senators
is fair presumption that Texas will be
content with the terms of the bill" Texas
content with Pearce S bill how rich. Tex.

to he lost.
The Picayune is very moderate in its
views it is well aware that the moderation
of Daniel Webster will gull the south, and
and get more free soil territory, than the u
ira course of Seward and his black friends
| expect the Pcayune will chuckle at thi
squib, and let it die a silent death, as did it
own remarks on the Times.
Southern men deceive themselves if the,
think to stave off a difficulty with the north
by giving territory inch by inch; they ar
well aware their aim can only be effected b,
a regular siege--they will steal from the un
suspecting South that which they would no
dare take by force of arms. | do not wsl
to be understood TO say, that the northern
men lack bravery, yet they do lack one thing
that brave people should possess--a decen
respect for the rights of Others
1t must be apparent to every observing
man, that this slavery question will hav
to be met by the south with irmness, befor
it can be put to rest; the ncrth know the
are wrong, they will count the cost an
yield, before they hazard civil war, c
suffer separation of the union to tax

live without our cotton; they also kno'
that England is beginning TO iook on ther

She England would seize the opportunit
to monopolize the southern trade an
break down their American rivals at OF
