Our friend of the Fredericksburg News, who
seems to be theoretically but not practically a
disunonist, asks if we do not speak too fast in
saying that the operation of the Fugitive Slave
Bill will furnish the true test of the permanence of
the Union, and, in apparent irony, pronounces that
the South will never resist the Federal Govern
ment until fire and desoation come 10 our very
doors. The high tones of those who assume to
be the strongest" Southern men shall not deter
us from firmly advocating what we believe to be
the right. Because a certain class of Southern
reasoners hold that the Missouri Compromise
should have been insisted on, and that the laws
! actually passed by Congress are degrading to the
South, we do not fater in the opinion or abate our
readiness to maintain, that these laws are better for
the South than the Missouri Com promise. With
all proper Difference, we utterly demur to the au-
thority of our contemporary of the News, others
of his way of thinking to pronounce, er cathedra,
what Southernhono demanded and wherein it has
been insulted. Neither do we claim any such ex-
elusive privilege for those who advocated the Com
promise bills. But in respect to the subject about
which Southern opinions differed so radically,
we would suggest that it can in no manner
conduce 10 the advantage of our common cause
for the weaker side to deride the majority as being
"submissionists." Newspaper articles cannot prove
who will be most true to the South when the real
struggle against aggression comes, if come it
ever does.
Now as to the carrying out of the Fugitive Slave
Bill, we deliberately repeat that, in our Judgment
it will supply the true test of the question
whether the people of the Northern and Southern
States can live together under common govern
ment.
We do not mean to say that single instance
OF disregard to the law will be proper cause
for a dissolution of the Union but we do
mean to say that its repeal by the Northern
majority in Congress, or the refusal of North
ern States to obey it, so that it shall be prac-
tically dead letter, ought to satisfy the
Southern people that the hostility of Northern
sentiment to slavery is intense that the institu-
ton cannot be maintained whilst we remain in the
Confederacy. AS yet,we are happy to believe that
the law will be generally respected and that it will
have the important effect of greatly diminishing
the number of escapes. The best aspect of the

Mr.. Clay's Reception at Home.

The following account of the manner in which
Mr.. Clay was received by his neighbours, is from
the Lexington Statesman of October 9th, a Demo-
cratic paper but liberal enough to do justice to the
illustrous patriot, whose fame and services have
reflected so much honour upon his adopted State
A telegraphic despatch from Maysve, on Wednes-
day last, informed that Mr. Clay had left that place
that mornin and might be expected in Lexington on
the evening of the same day. He arrived about nine
o'clock. He was met at the city limits by large
her of neighbors and friends, and escorted TO the 9nx
Hotel. large bonfire had been kndled at the june
ton of Limestone and Main streets, which shed flu Il
blaze OF light on and around the hotel, and made every
! thing almost visible in broad daylight. The
| crowd had evidently resolved to have view OF the
veteran staesmans face, TO see how he bore up under
the accumulated weight of years and labor. We are
happy to say, that he looking rema rkably hale and
heal by. 1t soon became obvious, however, that the
assemblage would not rest satisfied with seeing merely
but that they must hear from their public also
"To the porch The porch !" shouted the throng and
accordingly Mr.. Clay appeared upon the portico
through the second story windows OF the Phoenix, in
the iul blaze OF light from the bonfire He bowed to the
people, and was greeted with hearty cheers We were
surprised to see him looking so well.
Mr.. Clay spoke in substance as follows-[we report
entirely tlom memory;l
"Ithank you, friends and neighbors, from my heart
for this kind reception and ing, after having been
so long separated from you AT no time has my sepa-
ration from you been protracted, except when abb
sent IN Europe tried 10 cut you, and to avoid any
display; but the vigilance OF your fri ndshp tires
never sleeps Although have been 50 long separated
from you, engaged in trying scenes of arduous a
session OF Congress, never did return among you With
feeling of higher qualification The glorons Un ION,
my friends, which lately threatened with violent
dlsmemberment am happy to announce you, S
sae AT times we felt serious apprehension for its safe
ty; but may hope to transmit it success
sors whole and unmpaired, with the confident expec-
tatlon that its blessings will continue 10 the remotest
posterlty. Prolonged cheering Mr. Clay then con-
cuded as foews: Il rejoice to you all again, my
friends and neighbors rejoice to return among you
under auspices SO favorable our beloved country
But-conlinued Mr. Clay, pointing his finger in the
direction of Ashland while the crowd set up laugh
and But their lives old lady about mile and
a-haf from here with whom have lived for than
hity wears, whom would rather than any oil you !"
And bowling gracefully he Withdrew while the crowd
sent up many merry peal of laughter, mingled with
hearty cheers.
We venture to assert that during the last TWEEN
y five years did Mr.. Clay return to his constluen is
when there were generally kindly feelings enter
tanned toward him.

flash parance OF the day, TO "put him through" He
handed his victim glass, filled it with liquid resem.
olng Wine, in color at least, and requested the gentle
man to drink the health OF those present This not very
difficult or unpleasant feat being performed the glass
was re-hlled, and again emped by the gentleman
Wyman then proceeded to the performance of several
sllght-of-band feas, in all of which the aid Of the
gentleman was called into requ ston; after which he
plckedu up alunne and very gravely informed his pu-
p that he should then proceed to draw from his head
the wine he had drunk short time previously This
proposition appeared to conoInd the gentleman
indeed, he manifested the utmost alarm at it. and
made nervous movement towards the front of the
Stage; but Wyman, in the poliest and gentest man
ner possible, arrested his forward progress and vouc-
saled TO assure the gentleman that he would be
aole 10 draw OF the wine without inconvenencng him
IN the least The gentleman stood as though he had
been transfxed, wildly watching every movement Of
the magician. AS soon as Wyman applied the funnel
to the ear OF his vctlm snothered ejaculation of "Oh
Lord, was distinctly heard-then sudden sat---a run
and leap! The victim at one bound put some 6
or . leet between Wyman and himself and amidst the
shouts and OF the audience our country friend
rushed mady through the hall, and suddenly disap-
peared, without hat and handkerchief both of which he
dropped upon the stage in his hasty retreat Some

gentleman for only moment about the front
door. The head was thrust in at the door and then
disappeared altogether.

A mirth-provoking incident occurred at Odd Eel

WYMAN, the mimic, ma gcian and ventrloqust After
exciting the profound establishment of the uninitated by
the performance OF some OF his magical feas and con-

his powers OF mmickry, he stepped to the front Of the
stage. and in the bandes manner invited any gentle
present who happened not be disciple ofFath-
er Mathew, TO step up on the stage and join him in
glass OF wine The proposition struck young gentle
man from the country quite forcibly--he admired
Wyman very mdeh-thought him remarkably clever
fellow, aud one deserving social as well public pa
Tona ge-4a We eoaeluded 10 join him in glass of
wine, merely ssematter of courtesy, not because he
habitually took on" anything. Now, the gentleman

concluded of course, that they had paid for it, so pub

succeeded in overhaung them in Cary street, the
