6>- We are sick, heartily sick, of South
ern threats and Southern iustian. The
plain truth Of the matter 10 that all the
Souththopcs is 10 bully the North into com
pliance nith her demands and if she Can
do this, slse will be perfectly satisfied
Some game cock orator jumps up in the
House, looks as fierce as a maniac, and
threatens death and destruction to the Tn.
ion, if the North opposes the Introduction
Of Slavery into the new Territories. In the
Senate, John c. Calhoun looks amazir RIy
profound, and the telegraph announces in
South Carolina that her pet statesmen is in
deep revery, and probably mediia,es
strong speech on State rights in general
and the peculiar institution" in particular.
The whole State is instantly conyulsed
with a paryoxism of joy, their bravery ad-
vances a hundred per cent, and the shock
reverberates into Alabama, ard her army is
ready to march up, with old Gov. Troop
at its head, and, Cromwell like, dissolve
Congress for an orert act Of Treason. Who,
in the namo of common sense, ever heard
Of national council committing Treason
We want some New Eng and man who
has the moral courage to tax TO these
Southern HoIspur's precisely as they de-
serve; a man who will speak out the plain
truth in plain way, and risk the conse-
quences, as well as laugh at their challen-
ges. A man who dare tell them that the
people Of the North are not TO be fooled and
bullied by them any longer; and make
them know aud feel that while we have not
the remotest intention of interfering with
Slavery as its exists in the Southern States,
we are al the same time most firmly resolv-
ed, ard most unnipching in the dc,ermina-
ion that slavery sha ncrer be permitted
in the new States and Territories.

Falls ON the ear Of many hcarer whose shirt

By the bellies, bclic., bellies,
Oh. the chatting and the smiling, and the tongues

AN ARGUMENT FOR MARRIAGE Pow
ers, the sculptor, writing to friend
of what people call the folly Of marry
ing without the means to support u
family, expresses frankly lis own fears
when he found hmselfin that very po-
sition but he adds with characteristic
candor "To tell the truth, however,
family and poverty have done more to
support me than have to support
them. They have compelled me to
make exertions that hardly thought
myself capable of and often, when on
the eve Of despairing, tLey have forced
me like coward in a corner, TO fight
like a hero, not for myself but for my
wife and little ones. have now as
much work to do as can execute, un-
less | can find some assistance in the
marble, and l have prospect Of fur
ther commissions" The truth here ex-
pressed by the gifted sculptor, is like
a similar remark we heard not long
since, by a gentleman from Boston,
who tried matrimony in the same way
and found afterwards that the loose
change in his pocket, which he had be-
fore squandered in foolish notions
young mems whims, as ho called them
was enough to support prudent
wife, who, by well-regslatcd economy,
has proved fortune in herself, and had
saved a snug sum of money for her
once careless husband. A wife tC
direct man towards a proper ambi-
ton and to a general economy" he
said "was like timely succor at sea.

Silvio Pellico.
IL We really love our country with noble

But ii man reviles religion, conju2sl

him not when he talks Of his country. 10

The Creoles, generally, are in favor OF
annexation, but the old Spaniards would
lose their last drop of blood in maiLtan-
ing their sway over this island, the last
remnant of their once great American
possessions. 1t is their Caliiornia-iheir

If we are to be annexed, il must be
peaceably; if by force, England and

English capitalists have about thirty mil
lions or more invested i'll this island,
which would be every cent lost i'll case OF
civil war.
If annexation could be brought about
by acts of the pen, instead Of the sword,
it would he TO US great blessing. Our
bays would then be crowded with vessels,
instead of being. as they now are. entirely
deserted. Our beautiful island would be
crossed in every direction by railroads;
towns would spring up where there are
now but few palm leaf huts. The great
resources of our splendid plantations
would then be fully developed, and our
commerce would be increased i'll ienfuld
degree. These are few of the great
blessings, which, we think, would result
from anneXa ion. But il must be done
by diplomacy. If force be employ ed.
