The following remarks from the Richmond Enqui-
rer are words of soberness and truth The doctrine
of consolidation under the federal leaders appears to
be making rapid strides, but the of liberty will
have when State sovereignty is blotted out of
national policy South Carohnadn.
In all extraordinary excitements like the present.
great principles unfortunately liable to be lost
sight of. We have a case now before us. We have
referred to Mr. Clays attack upon Mr. Rhetts speech
in which the Senator unjustifably threatened the
sovereign State of South Carolina with the armed
force of Kentucky and the General Government
The Washington Republic follows up the movement,
and puts forth some heterodox doctrines which
cannot but hold up to reprobation. No one is more
| anxious than ourselves for pacific adjustment of
the present controversy, none more opposed to dis
union per se-but so profound reverence have We
for State sovereignty vital do we deem its prescr
walton to the Union peace and happiness OF the Con
federacy that duty mpes to expose the false doc
trine The Republic referring to the position of S.
Carolina, says:
THE people of the United States will not permit
a secession from the Union peaceabe or otherwise,
of one more of the States composing it. In self
defence, they will suppress any such attempt at all
hazards.
The people themselves ofthe slayeholding States
will not permit it.
This bravado is in total violation of the immortal
principles laid down by Jefferson and NIad
son, the text book Of the Republican party. They
taught us to regard each and every State sover-
eign and fully qualified herself to Judge of the con-
rnent and to protect herself by withdrawing from
the Confederacy. This would be justified only by
an extreme but the State herself is the only
judge in the case, and she has the undoubted right
to adopt such measure of protection. Appeals may
be made by sister States Gas done by Virginia.

mode of redress. The first blow struck by the Gem
cral Government at sOverei On State dissoves the

lection for our institutions, frightened by common
suerngs and dangers and in doing justice and prac-

The Republic commits another error, when it says
that the South ought not now to complain of being
excluded from the territories because
The North, both parties concurring, distinctly
notified the South, by word and by VOTE before the
territory was acquired that acquired slavery would
and should be excluded from it."
Now, it is we'll known that, on the ratification of
the Mexican treaty, motion to apply the Wilmot
Proviso was voted down by the Senate. Was not
the South properly to infer from that fact that nc
degrading exclusion from common property would
be raised against her by the majority

MEssRs EDIToRs-During the electioneering cam
paign which is just passed. have heard many
sures cast upon the Magistrates of the County for
L~t hoe represented tlreir uAtravagance IN
laying heavy taxes and allowing enormous extras to
the public officers of our County and also considera
BILE abuse heaped upon the officers for receiving such
extras. The first charge that would notice is cir
culated in portions of the County, and is to the
effect that Sheriff FENNELL has heretofore failed Ell
Their to collect the taxes out of poor people to
turn them as insolvent required by law, and has
then come before the Court and claimed an allow
ance of some twelve or fifteen hundred dollars, and
the Justices, through their charity lberaty have
laid tax and voted him the amount claimed. This
is not The fact shown to the Court, was, that
the amount of taxes received by the Sheriff from all
sources insufficient to meet the expenses to the
amount asked. Now, regards extra fees being al
lowed to officers when no extra services have actual
ly been rendered, am as much opposed to it, and
would vote against it any one. But on
the other hand when extra services have been per-
formed and such services not homogeneous"
etc, can see no good reason why the Magistrates
of the County should be severely censured for al
lowing reasonable compensation in such cases.
In relation to the dsbursng officer of this County,
against the Justices think they show good
son for the course which they have fit to pursue.
Since the Sheriff has been made the disbursing Off
GER our County claims have been worth par all over
the County, and with every individual in it, and we
have not been shaved and swindled out of ghts
as was the case previously. have invariably found
it the case in the Counties where have been, that
it is the generally prevailing opinion that the Sheriff
is the proper person to dsburse the County funds,
and have also found that in every County where
the Sheriff oficiates County Trustee, all County
claims are worth par and collectable forthwith -
Now as regards the three Offices which the Sheriff of
this County holds and for his holding of which
of friends have charged lack of sense upon the
County Court, l will briefly try to explain First.
He holds the Office of Sheriff. which is in the gift of
the people: Second, The Court, in its wisdom, has
seen fit to appoint him County Trustee to disburse
j the County funds Third By act of the last Le-
gisature, it made the duty of the Sheriff to col
ect the corporate taxes of the town of Wilmington
which, understand is worth the round sum of about
five hundred dollars. Now, ask which of the three
is in fault the Sheriff for discharging his duty-or
the Magistrates for enjoining it upon him-or the
Legislature for making it the law!

At last the Compromise Bill has received it's quie

day, the Senate, after divers changes and amend
ments, struck from the bill everything except the
short and comparatively unimportant portion provi-

degree territory than the original bill reported
by the Committee of Thirteen 1t possible that it
may pass the Senate and be accepted by the Legisa
ture of Texas. This matter of the boundary of Tex
is the grand difficulty, which, if once disposed Of
would leave much more chance for an amicable adj
justment of the other questions in dispute. 1t is
quite likely that if this bill be passed. others will
follow for the organization of territorial government
in New Mexico, the admission of California and,
fact for the accomplishment of all the objects con
templated by the Omnibus Bill. The House Seems

Human Sacrifices In India.

There is ferocous tribe of natives inhabting
Goomsor, in Bengal, called Khonds. The earth god
dess, one among the multitude they worship, can be
propitiated, they believe, only by human flesh and
blood. The miserable victims purchased on false
pretences, kidnapped from the poorer classes of
Hindoos, in the low country. These are often chill
dren, great numbers of whom are kept on hand in
reserve, as they shall be wanted At the time APP
pointed for the sacrifice, the victim is bound to
stake, and after of most revolving drunken
and obscene Introductory services, at appointed
signal, the bones broken. after which the pro-
miscuous crowd rush with maddenng fury upon the
sacrifice, wildly exclaming We bought you with
a price, and no sin rests upon u.s." They then cut
his flesh in pieces from the bones Thus the horrid
rite is contaminated Each man then bears away
his bloody shreds to his field, leaving them there as
acceptable offering, in favor of their fertility, to
the bloody goddess.
The British Government has acted with great en-
ergy against this dreadful custom In January 1849,
their agent, by armed force, rescued one hundred
and six of these devoted victims. great sacrifice
had been determined on: in anticipation OF bis COM
ing; but he appeared among them sudden y, twelve
days before the appointed time and stayed the bloody
work
| Under date of February 1850, we learn that up to
January 81 one hundred and fortythree victims had
been rescued by a Young British officer by the name
| of FRYE. At late date we learn he had rescued
hundred and fifty victims IN addition to the one
hundred and forty-three previously rescued. Inc
British Government awake to the dreadful evil,
and no pains will be spared to its entire cessa-

Some of these rescued victims have received
Christian education in the Schools of the English
Baptist Mission at Orissa, and promise great useful
ness to their benghted countrymen.
