evil day is put OFF any how until spring, and
probably forever, So far as Texas and the
General Government are concerned.
The war bill, as we term it, was engro>s-

by large majority, containing a clause,
however, off red by MIR. Bryan. that the
forces to be raised by the provisions ofthis

70 Read OH the first page, 1.-The Pros
pect," from the Natchez Free Trader The
subjects treated Of in the article, ought to
be carefully reflected upon by every lover
OF independence. The action o! the pres
ent Congress. in excluding US from all par
ucipation in the newly acquired territory,
places the South, if she IS mean enough 10
submit, completely at the mercy of the
North. With large majorities in both
HOSES, and they constantly and rapidly IN
creasing, the time cannot be far distant
when it will be in the power Of the North
10 alter the Constitution, and mould it to
suit their own views. That this power
offers, we have every reason to fear. Upon
the clemency Of the North we cannot rely
The inveterate hostility which exists
there against the institution Of slavery, is
such as to overcome every consideration Of
right and conscience. And the great ques-
ton is no longer, what are the constitution
nj powers Of the majority in Congress, but
TO what will the minority submit. The
same men, who voted to deprive the South
of ali participation in. the territory obtain
cd by the common blood aud treasure of the
country, would as readily vote to exclude
slavery from the States, if they believed
the minority would submit. Might, with
them, makes right.
II we intend to offer check to their high
handed measures, it must be done speedily,
we have not moment to loose. Every
moment we Idle away in froth and goose
quill warfare, they are extending their lines
and strengthening their power. They have
skillfully woven their web around us, and
are beginning to tighten its chords, we may
now break through its meshes, if united
and vigorous effort is made If resistance
is ever to be offered, it should assuredly be
done when there is some hope Of being
benefited by it. Not wait until we are
bound like Prometheus, andit then beat the
air in rage. BY we'll concerted plans and
determined action, we need not yet despair
Of defeating the hellish Vaccinations Of the
Abolitionists, but when they have bound us
hand and foot,it will he worse than folly to
vent our fury upon the invulnera5le air.

10000 This is an enormous increase, even
for the surface over which they are now spread;
but let this be taken in connexion with the
fact, that the surface will, in few years, be

DEATH OF LOUIS PHILIPPE.

The aged ex-King of France, closed his
eventful life at his residence, near Londo".
With the one besetling sin of his life, uvarice,
he possessed many redeeming traits of charac
ter. His disposition was kind and amiable, and
he was promoter of Literature and the Arts.
His life is a practical comment on the tickle
ness of fortune. n youth an exile, in man
hood, one Of the firmest Monarchs of the old
world, and in old age driven out a wanderer
from his kingdom and abandoned by his friends.

N The recent decision of the Harris
burg Judge, in the case of the runaway
slaves, tried before him for stealing their
masters horses and running of with them
to Pennsylvania, if law, is certainly very
bad law. The idea, that property may be
clandestine;y taken and carried off, SO the
taker does not design retaining 1t as his
own, constitutes no crime, seems 10 us to
be rather prepos:erous, and to the South
fraught with the most dangerous conse-
'quences. II is sufficiently offensive, to be
told that person has right to appropriate
anothers property 10 his own use, without
the owners consent, aud is thereby guilty
of no crime, without inviting the slave to
sieze upon his masters property, and use II
in transporting HIN self to free State, and
then offer them the protection Of the law
and imprison the master, for making use OF
lawful, and the only means for arresting
them. The fugitive slave, after he sup
poses himself beyond the pursuit of his
master turns his horse loose, and this is
proof positive in the mind of the Pennsyl-
vania Judge, that he took him only for a
Temporary purpose, to be returned, as we
may infer, at convenience. The master is
tod to take his property i! lie can get it,
but if a row is occasioned and the peace
disturbed by it, he, the master, will be held
responsible, and iEcarcerated in a dungeon,
as was the case in this instance. The mas.
ter must not only loose his slave, but must
furnish MIN with horse, briddle, and sad
die 20 go of on, and lie in prison and live
Oh crackers and water until he is brought to
his right mind!
