The Christian Union.
Recommended TO euery city.

At meeting held at the lecture room
of the ID Presbyterian Church February
llth, 1850, the Rev. Mr.. Jones in the
chair, the following outline of Christian
Union was adopted.
l. the Christian Union of Alexandria
for the suppression of vice and promotion
of useful knowledge, as recommended by
Christ and the Apostles.
IL. We the undersigned, promise, by
divine assistance, TO make the Bible the
rule of our faith and practice.
Ill. We agree to abstain from all that is
hurtful and unnecessary also to do TO all
our fellow men as we would wish them to
do us.
". This institution shall be conducted
by a Board constituted Of one minister and
one laym4n from each church in this city
The minister of each church. who may
sign this, shall have the privilege OF ma
ming the layman.
V. All the necessary arrangements for
the management of this institution, shall
be made by the persons above named, any
three of whom shall form q quorum for
business.
vi. Should any difference Of opinion
ever disturb the peace of this institution, II
shall be referred to three men appointed
by the Board.
The Rev. Mr.. Harrison. the Rev. Mr..
Danforth, and the Rev. Mr.. Jones have
subscribed to the above articles, and
named the laymen to be members OF the
board also a number of othernames have
been added 10 the list of subscribers.
The above articles, with list OF the
named, may be seen at the Bookstore OF
Messrs. Bell & Entwisle.
That similar Union may be establish
ed in every city, is the prayer Of all true
christians and patriots.
The foregoing is taken from the Alex
andria Gazette. The leading features OF
this " Christian Union" Society we hail
with gladness, and so far as our own indl-
vidual countenance and example can assist
such cause, they shall be given freely
and fully. We call the attention of the
Ministers of the various Churches in this
town to the subject, and hope to hear from
some one or more of them thereupon.
We repeat that we like the leading fea'
lures much. but must nevertheless express
q fear that the 4th and 9Th articles are no
we'll calculated TO effect the objects of the
Union. Christianity is very republican
system indeed, and this is an age which

Joy this blessing, it is necessary that each
member of the community should refrain
from tresspasing on the rights of others;
Children should be taught and early led
to practice this precept. Everyone who
should observe just appreciation of lib

others, wsuld become law unto himself,

has been taught to disregard the rights of

REMOVAL Florida hdiamS'-GeneraI

terms of agreement: each warrior is to re-

$500, each woman SlO0, each child 800.
Bowlegs himself will receive about $lo'-

AMERICANS FORBIDDEN TO ENTER AUSTRIA
The Tribune translates the following incident
from foreign paper:
can Englshman and an American were going
to Prague TO take lessons Of List. At Dresden
they applied 10 the Austrian Ambassador to get
their passports read, The Englishman had done
without difficulty, but it was announced to the
American that, by virtue of instructions from the
cabinet of Vienna, the entrance TO the Austrian
States was forbidden to the citizens of the United
States. The American declared that he should
appeal TO the Austrian cabinet"

New LAW OF DIVORCE IN New DIRK.
The select committee of the New y DIRK
Assembly, on the subject of divorces, dis
solving the marriage contract, have INTRO
duced a new bill, with a report thereon.
After abiding to the provisions OF the con-
stilution, which have assumed that no
individual special cases should be interte-
red with by the Legislature, but that they
should be left entirely to the jurisdiction
of courts, the committee urge reason Tor
the extension of causes upon which dlvr-
ces may be granted. They would not
loose marriage bonds upon trivial pleas,
but would so far establish laws as to pro-
mote public morals.
In this view, four additional causes Tor
divorce have been introduced:
First.-Wilful desertion and abandon
ment for the term of five years, If accom-
panied by an entire neglect of all the du-
ties and obligations OF the marriage state.
Second and sentence to
three wears incarceration, followed by ac-
,ual Imprisonment in the State prison or
Penitentiary.
Third.-Gross habitual drunkenness.
Fourh. insanity, followed
by partial idiocy.

The Union---TO the Rescue.

Suggestions have been made to us, with
which we entirely coincide, that the peo-
pie Of Old Jefferson should take an early
occasion to speak out their sentiments on
the subject of the existing ferment IN the
National Congress. Our nelghbors oil
Loudoun have taken their position we'll
and firmly upon the Consultation and the
Union; Berkeley is about to do so, and
Jefferson we know cannot be dlstanced in
so patriotic cause.
Let day be fixed convenient for gen.
eral County Meeting without respect to
party, and there let the people-the bone
and sinew-give the politicians to know
what they think about the base spawn OF
Dissolution. The friends Of the Union
in Congress ought to be backed by the
tue people, and It's enemies (f there be
any) made to feel the hoPelessness OF
their designs.
Cannot our friends in Charlestown take
some order in this matter that will c7entu-
ate in grand UnIon Meeting!

Wing, we can do no less than to express
our sense of the high value ofapprobatlon
from such quarter. We make no claim
to ability, but if any thing in our articles
shall appear to be entitled to the respect
the Wing asserts for them, It is entirely
due TO the proportion of plain common
sense, and simple honesty they contain.
Regarding the difference the Wing sup
poses TO exist between itself and us on the
subject of the Proviso and Missouri Com
promise, we think it plain from PerusaI
of both articles that third party would
not discover il. We fully agree with the
Wing, as upon the question of naked right
and constitutionalty the Wing does with
US. But the Wing will not deny that so
far as Southern men have permitted IeglS-
lation Of the character of the Prorlso to
pass without protest "to the last extrem-
ity" they have conceded the great primer
pie so ably vindicated by Cass and Der
rien, and which it seems 10 us is the sui
icient and only true basis of Southern
action. 1t was for not compromising this
principle, and yet at the same time effect
ing practical solution of the California
controversy, that we deemed Gen'l lay
Tor worthy of the approval of all sections
the South especially.
On a review of the past history OF Fed
eral legislation we think it very apparent
that the people have not been sufficiently
alive TO lis frequent uncOnsttulonalty.
SO long as the misclefs of demonstrations
al LEGISLATION have not been immediate and
direct, Congress has been permitted to en-
act laws of the most doubtful character,
which, at length, have passed into dan
gerous precedents. AS instance the
South felt no direct interest in Oregon,
and therefore the Federal government was
permitted to include the proviso useless
II itself and insulting 10 the Constitution
and the South in the Oregon Bill, thus
giving 10 the interference Of Congress with
slavery all the force of governmental pre-
cedent. Again, the Retroccssion OF 1916
was thought small matter, and yet it IN
yolved the whole question between the
North and the South, and Showed that
question yielded by leading Southern
State, Virginia. Where had Congress
the right to enact transfer of 8 or 10000
citizens of the District Of Columbia TO the
State of Virginia? This power, vastly
greater than any claimed for Congress by
the Free Sellers, and more at war with the
spirit, nay, the strict letter Of the const-
tuition, was advocated deniiJuS It ,mgu
bis by Mr.. Hunter, and had the vote OF
the whole Virginia delegation
The South must in future set the cX-
ample of a greater fidelity to the Constitu-
ton, and not allow precedents TO accumu-
late of such weight as to endanger lis own
rights, and the true construction of that sa-
cred Palladium.
