GROHLERS.

There is class of men in every commu-
nifty who 20 about with vinegar faces, growl-
ing because somebody feels above them, or
because they are not appreciated as they
should be, and who have constant quarrel
with their destiny These men, usually, have
made very grave mistake in the estimate oc
their abilities or are unmitigated asses. In
either cage, they are unfortunate Wherever
this fault finding with ones condition or posi-
ton occurs there is always want of self-re-
spect. If people despise you, do not tell Of
it all over town. If You are smart, show il.
DO something, and keep doing. II you are a
right down clever fellow, wash the wormwood
off your face, and show your goodwill by
your deeds. Then, if people feel above you.
90 straight of aud feel above them! If they
turn up their noses because YOU are me-
chanc or farmer, or a shop boy, turn yours
up notch higher. lf they swell VIXEN they
pass you in the street, swell YOURSELF and if
this does not 'ietch them," conclude very
goodnatoredly that they are unworthy your
acquaintance, and pity them for missing such
a capital chance 10 get into good society.
Society never estimates Il man al what he
imagnee himself TO be. He must show him
self to be possessed Of self respect iudepend-
ence, energy to will and 10 DO, and good
sound heart. These qualities and possessions
will ''put him throueh,n Who blames man
for feeling above those wboare mean enough
to 90 around like babies, telling how people
abuse them, and whining because society vii
not take them Jy the collar and drag then
into decency

FATAL SOOTHING SYRUPS.

Indisputable facts prove the extent TO
which this system is adopted. Walking
about Manchester and Birmingham, adver-
tIsements OF "Mothers' quietness," "SoothA
ing Syrup" arrest the attention of every
turn. 1t is easy to perceive that the drug
gists are driving good trade that--the quis
ct homes OF the poor are rocking with mar
cotics. The Reports of the Board Of Health
furnishes more appalling facts on this head.
In Preston, twenty-one druggists sold, with
in the space OF one week, no less quanti-
ty than sixty-eight pounds of narcotics,
nearly all Of which were Tor the use OF
children ! and the calculation Of the guam
tity Of Godirey's Cordial sold in Preston
gave weekly allowance Of half an ounce
10 each family Generally, Godlrey's
Cordial is mixed in the proportion Of one
ounce and half Of pure lalidanum TO the
quart, and the stronger it is the faster it is
sold. 1t may be had at public houses and
general-dealers', as well as at druggists !;
and on market-days the people from the
surrounding neighborhoods regularly pro-
vide themselves with this '.mother's COM

Of Godtrey's Cordial are sold in Manches-

datIon' they now say he adopts the nom
Intervention policy of Mr.. Cass. This
charge is just as wide of the mark az the
other.
Mr.. Cass POUNDS his opposition to the
enactment of the WIlmot Proviso on the
ground that Congress has no jurisdiction
over the subject-(and he has recently
made two days speech, in order to estab>
llsh this position); Gen. Taylor, after find

California had formed or we're about to

message, he admits the Constitutional
power of Congress TO legislaie on this sub

Congress see fit to pass it.
Is there no difference in these two ca

the only CONSTITUTIONAL policy, and that
too, at time (two or three years ago)
when this course of policy seriously
threatened to enure to tho exclusive ben

that quarter; the other, after the tide of
emigration from the North has forever
settled the question against the Slavery

scarcely doubt remains that in the other

ges Congress to await the action of the
inhabitants of these countries, knowing
all the while that the whole matter will

would have it. We have no hesitation in
, saying that, ii the present juncture of af-

for restricting Slavery to its present linn

what course the people of California and
New Mexico would take on this subject,

Mr.. Clay's Compromise Resolutions.

Mr.. CLAY has offered series of resolutions
in the Senate IS the basis Of "an anicablo ar
rangement of all the questions in controversy
between the free and slave states, growing out
of the subject Of the institution OF Slavery"
Such is the language with which lie introduces
them. We greatly doubt that they will accom-
plish the purpose intended. In advance, all
ideas Of comprcmise, properly so called, will be
looked upon with distrust-not TO say abhor-
rence-by the North, nor can VIC suppose the
South ready TO concede all that is given up on
their part, by these resolutions. The time has
come for decisive, unequivOcal action, on the
part Of the Free States, and nothing short of
the ultimate extinction Of Slavery, wherever
Congress has jurisdiction over it, will sat
isfy the great mass of the Northern people.
We give these resolutions, simply as part of the
political histor, of the day, without the least
confidence in the plan they embody-and,
though we highly respect the intentions Of their
distinguished author, without the least expec-
taton that they will receive any general support.
The preamble and resolutions are as fol-

In regard to the admission of Cali

What advantage can accrue to our State, or
