The Pr0longed Struggle in the House-The Presi-
dent and the Crisis-RumorS-V iers of the South
-ConfrmationS, &c.
1t is matter of congraulation that the House per-
mtted the struggle the California question to be ter
minated for the present. by the decision of the Speaker
that the calendar day ended at IL o'clock night 1t
was supposed that the majority would override the de-
csion and in fact continue the session and the worr
some and frutess contest.
find that, although there is no wish on the part of
the majority Of the Southern members to embarrass
the administration, yet there are sufficient number
who ready by resorng by parliamentary tactics,
keep back the supply bills till the question be settled
They do not intend that, in case of collision, the
army and navy shall be used against the South. But
the President according to rumour, has said that he
would resort only to volunteers, and call them from the
Southern States themselves in case he should be ob-
ged to defend the houses navy yards arsenals,
&c, in the Southern States and enforce the revenue
laws
Many of the Southern men are looking with some
hope to the contemplated movement of Mr.: Webster.
Heis willing to keep California back and embrace that
with other measures in the bill. Almost every
Senator has a project. Numbers of members OF the
House have schemes.
The Senate, in Executive session to-day, confirmed
the nomination of Walter Forward and OF Mr.. Schroe-
der, both as Charges of Affairs. They confirmed the
nomination of Mr.. Drummond U. S. Judge of Eas-
tern district of Illinois. Ion. -,

THE TEMPTATION OF FALSE PRIDE. LITN(
FOR THE WORLD.

"a flash beguilei him, and he soon was lost"
"Truth crushed to earth will rise again,
III eternal years Of God are he,s."
We are so frequently reminded ty
fearful caTamities and appalling crimes,
of the powerful influence and deplora-
bic consequences Of False Pride, that
the subject cannot, as it seems to US,
be too frequently adverted to. All are
more or less affected by this error. The
aerchant in his princely dwelling, the
day-laborer in his humble abode, the
mother who strives to rival and excel
her neighbor, and the daughter, in imi-
tation Of her parent, who is only happy
i'm social triumph over SOME conceit-
ed acquaintance or inflated companion.
The delusion of the great mass of the
human family, the. infrmity, nay the
crime is, that they live not for them
selves, not in conformity with calm
and reasonable Judgment, not in har-
mony with their resources and expec-
tations, but simply, or in great mea-
sure, to crafty an idle vanity, and to
make it appear to the out.door world,
that they are more important than they
really are, that they are richer, or more
fashionable. that they enjoy higher So
cial position, or exercise greater inHu-
cnce! look around you, gentle reader;
and examine closely, and inquiring-
! Nv, as we'll your own case, as the fol-
lies, liabilities and in6rnfities Of
the members of the little circle in
which YOU move and mingle. The
result will be as described in almost
every instance. False Pride will be
apparent, and in not few cases, indi-
viduals will be found hurrying on rash
" and recklessly to ruin, simply be-
cause they-desire to appear Of more i'm
portance and in better pecuniary eendi-
zion than they are, and that they lack
the moral nerve to brave the celdTess
the sneers and the contempt of the
world.
