The BLESSINGS OF THE UNIoS-In every
encroachment upon the rights of the Southern
States, it has been the practice Of our Northern
brethren to soothe US into submission with ul-
labies all about the "blessin IS of tie Union
The time for such foolery is now past ; the peo.
pie Of the South are getting sick OF the I'D
song they are waking up to u just apprecia.
tion of their condition, and are determined to
maintain their rights at every hazard.
"The glorious Union must be preserved"
These words may continue to charm t he ear
Of the craven submissionists; but upon the true
hearted patriots Of the South they have lost

lie, the South would have made any sacrifice to
maintain but Union without Liberty, without
equality aud fraternity, they will not hesitate to
dissolve. .Lincolnton ". C) Republican.

Provided that the laws abolishng slavery in
said Territory are excepted from this repeating
clause"
Mr. FOOTE said that he thought that the Mexi.
can laws aboshing slavery had been abrogated by
the Constitution Of the United States. He thought,
therefore, that the amendment Of his colleague
unnecessary. He would vote for it, however. He
could not vote for the amendment Of the Senator
from New Hampshire. twas but the Wiimot pro-
viso in one OF its various shapes.
Mr.. CLAY said that he would vote against the
amendment Of both Senators. The proviso was
equivalent 10 the enactment There was nothing
enacted by the amendment OF the Senator from
Mississippi but what was proposed to be excepted
from its operation by the proviso OF the Senator
from New Hampshire. He would vote against
both. He thought the adoption of the amendment
of the Senator from Mississippi would be depart
from the course indicated by the Senate, which
was not TO decide at all upon the question OF the
Ter loci but leave il be decided by the Judiciary
whether those laws in force or whether they
had been abrogated by the Constitution and laws OF
the United States.
Mr.. DAVIS, Of Mississippi, explained his amend
ment, All that asked by it was, that those To-
cal laws pre- existing in the Territories interfering
with the rights which American citizens were en-.
titled to under the Constitution, should be repealed
The amendment was not intended TO repeal the
Mexican laws abolishing slavery, but it was in
tended that any law which prohibited the en- joy
ment of rights secured by the Constitution of the
United States should be SET aside.
Messrs. PRATT and DOWNS expressed them
selves in favor of the principle OF the amendment
but would vote against it..
Mr.. BERRlEN supported the amendment
Messrs. DAVIS, FOOTE, and DOWNS, contin-
ued the debate.
Mr.. DAWSON followed in support Of the amend
ment, and in reply to the objections urged against
il.
Mr.. WALKER addressed the Senate in opposi
ton to the amendment.
Mr., BADGER said that, by an amendment &c
the bill already adopted, the Constitution of the
United States and the laws of the United States
had been extended over these Territories. There
was then no necessity for the amendment, fol
every thing proposed TO be accomplished by the
amendment had already been accomplished by thu
amendment which had been inserted. He thought
the amendment unnecessary, and perhaps nigh
enbarrass the bill, therefore he would vote againa
il.
Mr. HOUSTON moved, and the Senate adj.
journed.

Poverty.

The following true sentiments, we hope,
may be read over carefully and instiiled in
to the minds of our readers. They are
more worthy of being printed in gold than
some of the boasted lectures and orations
of our divines and statesmen: ..-
The successful man is too apt TO claim
credit for that which may be altogether the
result ola com bination of circumstances, o.
yer which he has had no control, and sue
cess may have fastened itself upon him, as
it were, in spite of himself. He may have
been reckless, improvident, and even sloth.

termined to part company, the closer she
would cling. 1t is equally true that want
of success is not conclusive evidence that il
is not sought, and toiled for, or deserved
True, this is not general rule, but it is an
exception of frequent occurrence. The wan1
of proper appreciation Of this truth, hal
led many well disposed and well meaning
people to look upon poverty almost as a
crime, and, consequently, to deal with il
rudely, to scorn and scott atit, and to pass
it by unheeded, with closed hand ane

Stray Thoughts.

There is feeling exercising its influence
over the heart of man which, above all 9TH
ers, is to be admitted as noble, pure and
generous. There is chord attached to
the, heart which can be Jared by the wees
Of others, and the vibration produces an
effect which all can imagine, but none de-
sGgibe-it is sympathy. This is the feel
ing which calls the tear-drop 10 the eye.
when we witness the sorrow. the afiiction
of fellow-creature, and induces US to ex-
tend towards the unfortunate consolation
and assistance. 1t is sympathy that binds
our affections to our friends our country
our families forces US to be sad when
injury is offered to either. When we have
left the land Of our nativity, this feeling
creates the tie which binds our hearts to its
wel-remembered scenes, and is severed by
death alone.
Who has not seen the tender femals
STOPPING over the couch of sick relative,
wasting herself by unnatural exertion,
scorning the sleep which might endanger
the patient, administering to his wants With
sorrowful pleasure, waiting for request
that she might prove ber affection, and oc.
casionally wiping away an intrusive tear
lest the object of her care might participate
in the feeling which occupied her bosom.
and sever the chord of sympathy by she'd
ding debilitatng tears? Who has not
heard of the dauntless soldier returning,
when he had discharged the duty which he
owed to his country, to learn the fate Of
his companion, to assist him if needy, or
discharge the last Office of friendship; the
hardy mariner dropping tear into the
fathom!es-ocean, when the last bubble rose
to announce the fate of his shipmate? All
are more or less influenced by this feeling.
Even the most obdurate fellow has been
known TO sigh. when one, who like him
self, had wandered from the path of recti-
tude, was, like himself, consigned to a pris-
on. Yes, those who care not for themselves,
can mourn the fate Of others, and heart
which has scarcely lhrob for its own suf-
ferings, will bleed when anotheris lacerat-
ed by misery. So powerful is its influence,
that the giddy, thoughtless and happy
youth, while witnessing dramatic repre-
sentation, may be often observed TO exhibit
marks of sorrow for woe that is imaginary.

All shculd Wsrk and all shouId Think

| This is one Of the fundamental principles
avowed by the Industrial Congress. and
one in which we entirely concur. 1t says,
"Work is written by nature in the bones
and muscles of all mankind. and that a.
mount Of toll which health demands, will
be ample to supply every one with all the
comforts of life." What a beautiful yindi-
cation is this Of the bene6cence and wisdom
of Deity, who designed that tho fuldlmept
of His laws, physical and moral, should
contribute to the pleasure Of man! What
commentary upon those institutions of so
| ciety, by which those laws have been vio-
lated, that the great mass have been DOOM
ed to toll which destroys their constitutions,
and deadens their mental energies, depriy-
ing them Of the privilege of pursuing that
happiness which is TO be found in mental
pursuits. Admitting that the Declaration
of Independence is correct, when it says
that the pursuit of happiness is natural
and inalienab'e right, Row can those insti-
tutions be justified, under whatever forms
they may be sheltered, which deprive tho
great mass Of men of this privilege2 1t is
plain that there can be no Justification for
them So
In the present condition of society. when
the laborers are compelled to toll from 10 to
IA hours per day, having no time for stud

lures, most are compelled to be dependent
on those who have time and opportunity

lows. They cannot, however. justify them.
selves in receiving an undue share Of the
products Of labor for this service, unless
they a. the same time seek the highest good
of all, by aiding them in every possible way
to emancipate themselves from ignorancs
and dependence.
The aborers throughout the country have
their duties to perform. They cannot look
with confidence to the efforts Of those inter-
ested in keeping them in their present con-
dition, for help. They may look, in many
instances. for their opposition in any effort
to elevate themselves. II 5E
