how could the interior frontiers of a seeding

But what could the federal government do

United States to guarantee a republican form
of government to each State. How could that
guarantee be fulfilled towards people opposed

her government be republican if she were CO.

1t is obvious therefore that the idea of main

ferrous. The only bonds that hold it together
are justice, mutual regard, and mutual interest
But when one section undertakes to seize and
appropriate the share of the other to a vast ter

would best agree and give the strongest shoulder
to the great Southern movement
Perhaps it will interest the friends of the
South in other places to know that under no

OF Monroe be induced to stack their arms to the
Free soiers. II the South is 10 be plundered of
her rights in the territories, which are the com

slave marts in the District ofColumbia are to be
broken up and Texas dismembered- the
South is to be put under the ban of the North,

knowing thatall this thing was perpetrated with

THE CIVIL WAR IN EcuADoR.-The disturb
ances in this republic are thus clearly stated by
the Caracas Republican,:
The liberals, who had a great majority in the
Congress, could not unite Il enselves for the
election Of a President of State, because the
oligarchists succeeded in gaining several MEM
bers OF the liberal party to the cause Of their
candidate. The constitution says that two
thirds of the votes of Congress are necessary
for the election; and, as neither of the two cam
didatcs obtained the said majority, the Congress
closed the session without giving any President
to the republic. The mandate fell thus to the
Vice President, who changed the personnel of
the administration, and continued to govern
with the oligarchists. The liberals, resenting
such treason, began to eXclaim that the admin
istration of the Vice President was unconstitu-
tional, and ended with facts. Guayaquil pro.
nounced itself against the administration OF
Senior Ascasubi
The garrison of Guayaquil began this revolu.
tionary act, in which the people took part
some days after. This movement offered o
peculiar phenomenon. 1t was headed by the
two opinions, respecting the two candidates for
the Presidency.
As soon rs the news of the revolution in
Guayaquil was known in Quito, the oligarchists
prepared themselves to support the chief of the
administration who had resorted them to power
but Senior Ascasubi, seeing that public opinion
was not in his favor resigned his mandate to
the hands of the President Of the Senate.

Tremendous Conaagration in Os,oego.
OswEeo, N. Y. july 81


A fire broke out about two o'clock this morn
ing, in a large building at the east end of the
toll gate standing on the canal and occupied for
various manufacturing purposes.
The flames soon spread to the flour mill of
VIM. J. Pardee, and Henry Matthews, consum-
ing them both, together with large amount of
flour and wheat.
The fire was arrested at the adjoining mill of
Henry Fitzhugh d Co, by the well directed ef-
forts of the firemen, and the efficient aid of
the powerful force pumps, which were in the
mills. '
From Crocker's building, the flames spread
across the street on the south side setting fire
to the east end of the bridge communicating
with block Of stores, which had been erected
over the canal. a
The fire spread on the south side of Bridge
street, very rapidly and the whole block be-
tween the river, is now in ruins.
The schooners caught fire, but were saved by
drifting down the stream. Nearly half of the
bridge was burned, and also engine No 9,
which the fremen, owing to the intense heat
We're obliged to abandon. The flames are not
yet subdued, but are thought to be got within
limits. Loss 100000 to 100000; Insurance
not at present known.

the following sage counsel to her female friends
As her experience has been limited to particular
attitudes, of course her structures are only APP
pIicable to those who have fallen under her own
eye.
Her remarks evidently apply to that portion
of her own sex who, in aspiring to be ladies, for
get the greatest of woman's attractions--sim-
plicity and nature. We hope that Mrs. S. may
not /" catch it from the young ladies' of Pitts
burg for this unfavorable account Of their mode
of locomotion:
A WORD FOR THE LADIES.
Walking is getting out fashion, and young
women now a-days wriggle along as if they
were moved ahead by Erricksons patent propel-
Tors. Their walk is as crooked as that of ship
with all sails and no rudder They are as
graceful as militia colonel's horse, or a
broken down racer" Inotice they are awful

bumps on their backs like dromedaries--a of

bad, it is one of these padded young women---
If one Of them should be furnished by nature
with one of these bumps or heaps, she would be
exhibited as a curiosity at a ftp a peep, like a
dodble-headed pig
Some months since somebody sent me thro
the p. o., a semi-circular bag Of cotton, and
was told it was a very prominent article of fe-
male apparel, used to perfect the human shape.
1t is a curiosity, and in few years hence, mean
to send it to Barnum's Museum. 1t looks like
anything except an article Of dress There is
nothing to compare to it, in the heavens above,
nor the earth beneath, or waters under the earth.

hope, after reading obese structures, that the
young women will give up wrggling through
the streets like parcel of eels--content them
selves with human form, and try the experiment,
at least, of acting like responsible beings

Texian Legislature, dated 9th IDLY.
al would fam hope that Congress would do
something speedily which would obviate the
necessity Of an expedition to Santa Fe, to enforce
civil Jurisdiction over that refractory, or more
properly deluded portion of our citizens. Cir
cumstances of the most unpleasant, nay, the most
alarming character, will be the inevitable result of
delay. Doubtless, before you get this you win
have received information of the Proclamation of
Governor BELL, convening the Legislature in ex-
ira session, 10 take some action relative to the
matter above alluded TO. i am of opinion that
there will be but one question discussed, which
will be: how many men will be necessary, and
how much means required, TO carry on the expe-
dition' Everybody wishes to go; the question
will not be who will go, but who will get the OPP
portunity to goi The old settler and the new, the
grey-headed and the youth, are all alike, and all
for Santa Fe. look with serious concern to the
results which may follow our action in this mat
ter, and feel deeply impressed with the weight OF
responsibility which rests upon me as Legisla-
tor. But in the absence of any further informa-
ton, my course is determined and fixed, my posi-
ton defined. shall do all that in my power lies
as Legislator, citizen and soldier, to rid Texas of
all who oppose her laws, or dispute her right TO
the smallest portion of her territory, as defined by
statute, passed the first Congress after the treaty
made with Santa Anna.
Should an armed force go to Santa Fe, take my
word for it, there will be no chid's play. The
troops will be worn down by long and tedious
march, maddened with fatigue and hunger, and
feeling securely clad in the business oftheir cause,
they will not be restrained from visiting the most
sanguinary punishment upon all, or any, who
may oppose by word or deed, our jurisdiction
over, and right to all the territory which we claim
look upon it as most unfortunate, that the naked
question of our boundary could not have been de-
termined without being forced to bear the COM
pany of other iniquitous bills and propositions,
all of which are jumbled together and called a
compromise. | hate the word compromise when
there is nothing to be compromised but a positive
right, or as in this case, the honor and dignity of
sovereign State.
We ask nothing but what, under the Constitu-
ton and articles of annexation, we are entitled to.
This much Texas is at all hazards determined to
have forbear to mention something which fire.
quently hear spoken of, and again would gladly
hope, that justice will be done us, and that Texas,
patriotic Texas, ever loyal to the Union, and true
TO the Constitution, may not be weakened in her
love, or perhaps worse, driven to course my pen
refuses TO write"

cinctly stated by the Bangor Whig
A MAGNIFICENT PROJECT FOR RAmRoAp.-A
very general and deep interest is felt now in the
Province of New Brunswick and in different parts
of Maine, in reference to u grand project of ma
tonal and worldwide interest, as we'll as of high
State value, it being no less than the establishment
of a connecting line of railroad between Portland
and Halifax, through Bangor to run i'm connection
with q line of steamships from Halifax to White
haven, thence by railroad to Dublin, and from
Dublin to Liverpool by water This route will
make the passage from New York to Liverpool
reduced TO seven days. A very able petition has
been laid before the legislature of this State for
survey of the route to the outward boundary Of
the State, to meet the survey being now prosecu-
ted by the Province Of New Brunswick We
trust that the representatives of the people OF
Maine are sufficiently moved in favor of our no.
bic State doing little something worthy of her.
self and her destiny, to authorize and order this
survey, and thus help to promote project of in
calcuable value To the State, as serving TO awaken
her energies, unfold her resources, stimulate her
industry, and cause her to assume her true posi-
ton in the great family of States.
On the 3lst inst. there is to be q great meeting
in the city Of Portland, for the purpose of gen.
eral conference among the delegates from Canada,
New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and the United
States, i'm order TO determine the most practical
method of accomplishing so desirable AN object.
From the great value and importance OF the pro-
iect, the character and ability of the men specially
interested in it, and their prudence and zeal we
anticipate a thorough conviction upon the public
mind of the United States and Europe, that this
plan is feasible and ought to be carried out : and
this conviction will cali forth the requisite capital
for its accomplishment.

SrooL CoTToN, OF which the consumption has
been almost altogether confined to that of foreign
make, is now manufactured largely in the States,
and of a quality fully equal to any imported. The
ground of inierorty, usually mentioned as attach
ing to American spool cotton, was in its compar-
alive weakness of thread. This objection has
now been overcome, and cotton thread, as made
by the Sycamore Company, of Portsmouth, N.
H., fully equals that imported.
