- The charity that does not .begin at
Home
The Nashville American, thus remarkes a
p ecious piece of hypocrisy on the part of the
foreign allies of our Frec-soers:
SLAvE-GRowN SUGAR AND CoTToN--Sir Ed
ward Buxton moved, in the British Parliament,
on the 2lst June, resolution against exposing
the free-grown sugar of the British colonies TO
unrestricted competition with the sugar of slave
holding communities. 1t failed, howevcr-235
to 275. How many votes would proposition
to exclude savc-grown sugar, tobacco, and cot
ton receive amongst American Aboitionists of
the North We do not believe it would meet
with any show Of support. Those people fill
themselves with luscious slave-grown sugar and
then rant against slavery thus, says Major
Noah, showing their inconsistency and their ull-
qualified hypocrisy.
Yet England should attend to her own mat
ters and right up the condition of her unhappy
population before she interferes with the con-
Germs of others. There is more misery, pauper-
ism, and human suffering in the British isles
than in any other country of the same extent r
the face of the globe. There is more ignorance
amongst the masses not more than one in nine
amongst the adult population can read or write
The British Parliament refuses grants for educa-
tonal purposes, yet expends millions in refe-
renee to African slavery. She says noting of
the subject of twenty-five millions of serfs or
other nations, almost within cannon-shot of he
isles. Yet her voice and money is loud and pro-
digal against African slavery in the United States
and elsewhere Is there not something of jea
lousy against the rising commerce, trade, popu-
lation, and power Of this country, under its re-
publican institutions!
When Great Britain shall do something to
relieve the horrid mass OF human suffering at
home; when she shall do something towards edu-
eating the heather masses Of her toiling mil
lions; when she shall cease to Cypress every
other religious faith for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
one faith; when she shall reduce the corruption,
prohgacy, hypocrisy, and riotous living of her
Parliamentary and Church dignitnries then,
and not till then, shall her voice be entitled to
the slightest respect

The Ehadows Of Coming Events.

Coalitions, and rumors of coalitions, now con-
stitute the order of tho day. Scarcely have we
chroniced the affectionate reunion of the Hun.
kers and Landowners at Syracuse, and other
combinations equally remarkable, when another
and more mischevous one is foreshadowed in
the New York journals
If these later givngs-out be true, the allied
forces of Free,soil, under the great leaders,
SEWARD and VAN buren,, are about to coaesce.
The Herald strongly declares lis conviction as
to this matter, and gives an account of a mystic
rous meeting between the two chieftaiils at the
Astor House, at twilight and the Mirror thus
reflects the picture which it imagines will soon
be presented to the country
We'll, stranger things have come to pass; ard
in an editorial, two weeks ago, we intimated
that such conjunction was the most natural
thing in the world.
AS the old party lines are oblterated, new
ones must be formed

The London Times and other papers devote

Still they would not vote for the bill, but i
passed and went to the House. On the first
VOC there, it f:ied by majority of 40, and il
that majority were two-thiris of the Southern
delegation. The Compromises were in con.
sternation and it became necessary to ascertain
which should yield--the North or the South
The latter agreed to yield, but with fear and
trembling for ON the next day, when the vote
was again taken, and the New Mexico bill in
Guided, there was a majority of eight against
the bill. Another night--and
much they reprosched themselves and much
repened,
And whispering they would ne'er consent--con-
scented"
And instead Of two-thirds of the Southern
delegation voting against the bill, majority
were for it-and the South was PROSTATE at the
feet Of her enemy.
Who made this sacrifice The particular
friends of Messrs CAss and CLAy-the men who
looked to Federal honors, the men who thought
more Of their party than Of their section or its
rights These men did not intend to risk the
anger of their constituents If they could help il
If the bills could be carried without their vote
Hence their first, second and third votes changing
all the while.
When we saw the power of the two parties
combined to carry these measures, finally aided
by that of the administration, we began to fea
the result, but never believed, until it came, tina
it could be 80 disastrous.
The Texas bill is the only one on which, a
the final vote as well as during the discussion
we did not act in cooperation with the majort.
Of the Southern delegation We have showr
that even on that, we did so act, until the
very day before the final vote was taken. W.
did not change.
And now the question has passed from Con
gress to people. We observe that the compro
misers, after all their procamations Of peace anG
popular joy, are not quite so ready to mee
their constituents as they protested. They ar,
for some &c post taclo argument and explana
ton.
We were content TO leave the question will
the people and discuss modes Of redress. Blu
we cannot permit the question to be re-arguet
in national organs without taking part in tn,
discussion.
We did not notice one reason for the Texas
bill--that it would enable General HAMILTON t
pay the State of Virginia the money he owes
hcr.--We leave that to the people of Virgini;
and Of Accomnc.

sa' The New York Herald has tue follow
ing:
The Richmond Enquirer has conc out
boldly and uncquivoca'ly against the movements
in Georgia and Mississippi, and brands the
people Of those States who oppose Northern ag-
gressionas seceders and hot headed disunonists
When the question was agitated two Years ago,
the Enquirer was the first paper in Virginia to
call upon the people to defend the rights and in
stitutions of the South, and published the reso-
utions of the State Legislature, recommending
their adoption by the people Of the State. Those
resolutions We're clothed in strong and unmis-
takeable language against the interference with
slavery by the North"
We cannot permit such injustice to be done
to the Richmond Enquirer. That paper Of day
before yesterday, comes out in the following
bold, decided and heroic manner:
/" a few days since we were surprised to hear
that our merchants still continue to purchase
and sell the candles manufactured by jackson,
the noted Abolitionist, who shows his gratitude
for the treasure drawn from Southern patronage,
bv urging on the anti-slavery fanatics to the
most deadly aggressions on Southern rights and
property. We trust to see this reformed alto
gether" no,l-intercourss in such case, is rital
matter Of seltdetence."
Henceforth therefore, the candles if not the
politics of the Abolitionists, are to be resisted
They may take our territory, but we are deter
mined not to take their candles never, never
never, at all hazards and to the last extremity.
But then this glorious Union, the work of our
Elthers, must not be dissolved. If THO Adolf
tonsts persist in selling us their candles, why
then, we must compromise we will take their
candles and few more kicks, for the sake OF
peace and Cancellation. We will buy an extra
quantity to illuminate on the OCCASION. And
then let our Northern brethren beware how they
violate that compromise, or We will go--for more
resolutions of the Virginia legislature! ard viii
be tempted to go-against wooden nutmegs
themselves.

HoRRID TRAGEDY.-In Fleming county, on
Wednesday last William Ringo had an alterca-
ton with Mr.. --- who had married his sister,
whom he killed on the spot By single shot from
revolver Rngos mother ran up to expos
tulate, when the inhuman monster fired two
shots into her body, from which she died next
day. His sister, wife Of the murdered man then
ran up, when the fiend shot her through the
thigh. She is likely to recover. He then made
off; but the next day was pursued by the neigh
bors, who found him at the house of another
neighbor. On seeing the company advancing
he entered the house. He was summoned to
come out and surrender, but he refused, and
while attempting to draw pistol was snqe
through the abdomen by one Of the party. ne
then shot at another of the party, wounolng nun
slightly in the shoulder, who therenPon hred
back, killing the monster instantly. Inc parties
surrendered themselves to the law authorities,
were examined and acquitted. 80

after the bills were united, the day after the de-
feat of the Texas bill, they were defeated by a
majority of eight-the next day they passed by
a majority Of ten!
But since Mr.. BAyLY gives no account Of the
reasons of the sudden and memorable change
in the vote on the Texas question which oc-
Cured in two days--in one day--and since, if
he cannot or will not, we may despair of getting
them from others-we are left to our own con-
lectures. They shall be charitable. Mr.. CLAY
and Mr. CAss were both bidders for the Presi-
dcncy and popularity. Fhe territorial question
was pending between the North and the South,
and the North had majority of votes. The
two bidders, as often happens in such cases, saw
that competition might be ruinous and com
biusd III common BID or compromise. But in
order 10 obtain the North, tie South had to be
sacrificed. To what extent she would submit
was tie subject of careful aud anxious con-
sultation
There stood oil her resolutions against the
WiImot Proyiso, aud other Northern aggres-
sons. The Compromise was drawn skil!plly,
so as 10 evade in words, the protest of the South,
and to accomplish i things, the demands of The
North But the Compromise was defeated in
the Senate BY votes Of the Northeru and South-
ern ultrns--the former being determined to have
the name as well as the thing, the latter tina.
| the North should have neither. Mr. BAYLY is
careful to tell us that the Texas bill was OPP
posed by all the Free-soilcrs adopting the arti-
fee of identifying them with its Southern oppo-
nents. Well, what was tie consequence of de-
feating the Compromise in the Senate? An
immediate retreat ofthc North. The Texas bill
was modified so as to leave Texas the whole
territory east Of the Nevada, and north of 80
degrees, and yet to pay her the whole ten mil
lions. Territory enough for one State saved to
