the guarantees OF the Constitution and her rights
under II, should be respected and maintained
that when her citizens crossed the line of sister
State for the recovery oftheir fugitive slaves they
should be delivered to them, and not be assailed
with blows, robbed of their property, as they Of
ten were, and their lives endangered. He coun-
selled conciliation, moderation, disposition to do
justice, it we would preserve the Union Of the
Constitution in the spirit in which it was made.
Mr.. McD's hour having expired without con-
Guiding his speech, Mr.. HOLMES, OF South Caro-
lima, obtained the floor, but gave way to enable
Mr.. Med. to continue his speech. Objection be-
ing made,
! Mr.. HOLMES resumed the floor and spoke to
the question. He was understood to contend that
in the framing of our Constitution, it fatal
oversight not to have provided for an equilibrium
of sections as well as of States that the decided ma
jority which would be obtained by the North
through the admission Of California as State,
would enable that section to control the legislation
of the Federal Government, and subject the South
to its policy. II would convert that Constitution
adopted for the general welfare" and to form a
more perfect union, into an engine of tyranny to-
wards the South, by subjecting its industry,
through restrictions and indirect taxation, to such
regulations as the majority might deem expedI-
ent. He did not think the South would tolerate
such dependent condition. BY slave labor, un-
der the direction Of a superior race, the prOduc-
tons Of the Southern country had improved and
inCreaSeu 10 tneIr present COnuIuon lnelT CoH-
tnued prosperity was dependent upon such labor.
1t could not flourish without it. All experience
furnished ample evidence of this fact, And South
ern States would never surrender the control Of
their prosperity to their sister States, any other
rivals, unless they were prepared to relract their
declaration, that they were and of right ought to
be free, sovereign. and Independent, and again be-
come colonial dependencies
Mr.. WILLIAMS, Of Tennessee, obtained the
floor but gave way to enable
Mr.. McCLERNAND, Of Illinois, to withdraw
his motion to commit the bill to the Committee OF
the Whole.
Mr. GIDDINGS, of Ohio, renewed it, but
The SPEAKER, decided that it was not in
order for him to do so, as the gentleman from
Tennessee was entitled to the floor, and though
he might yield it, to allow member to with.
draw motion-as he had-he could not yield
it to enable motion to be made.

After quoting from the Savannah Nsrs the

After quoting from the Saudnrah Nexs the
account of the warning given to detected Abo-
litionist in that city, the Lowell paper adds:
THE above, coming MS it does froma South
ern source, may be taken, We suppose, as a fair
specimen of Southern society and Southern
chiyalry. We would by no means recommend
to Northern gentlemen, whilst travelling in the
South, to indulge in personally offensive and in
sultng observations. In the present instance,
however, we are left entirely to conjecture what
these observations were which were so offensive
to Southern ears, but every friend to law, de-
eency and order will readily admit that no OBJ
seryations whatever could, for a moment, pal
late, excuse or Justify such a manifestation of
mobOcracy and Lynch law. II the lao has been
violated, let the law be mpartially and faithfully
executed If, on the contrary, there has only
been violation of propriety and good taste, the
Southern ehivalry are, by no means, entitled to
the privilege of fmaking correction. Their own
sins are too numerous to allow them to assume
the Office of moral teachers. Whenever South
ern travellers see fit to visit the North we really
hope they may be allowed to do so without any
fear of being visited with a coat of tar and
feathers. Generally speaking. they look bad
enough without being clothed in such hnbili-
ments
The Boston Atlas, referring to the Fugitive
Slave Bill, thus concludes:
"We wonder if the advocates of this bill
would be in favor of paying from the Treasury
of the States or of the General Government the
New England merchants all the money they
have lost or may lose by the failures and the
swindling operations cf persons whom they have
trusted with their goods in Southern States If
the Northern States are to pay for runaway
slave property, then the Southern States ought
to pay for Northern property that didn't run
away, but which the purchaser took South, con-
verted it to his own use, and then refused to pay
the Northern merchant for it."
Deafened and stunned by the cant of fraternal
affection and unreciprocated regard which the
Northern press and affiliated Southern branches
thereof eternally din into the ears of the South,
we'll may we enquire, pointing to such evidences
of good feeling, as Richard did of the Prelate,
when sending back the coat of mail worn by the
warlike bishop, whom he claimed as son of
the church.
"Is thy sons coat, or not!"
II is said that experience is the best OF teachers
but it has already proved very expensive one
to the South, and her people it seems are very
slow to learn its lessons.

In our structures, the other day, on the
New Orleans Bee and Mobile Advertiser, the
word advertiser" was inadvertently changed in
the latter part of the article to Register" as
can be seen by reading it with attention-and

N3yT The New Orleans Bee of the 18th ult
contains an attack on this paper, and an endorse
ment of the stupid hoax of the Southern Con-
federacy with Mexico.
The Bee displays about as much sense in one
article as the other. 1t delights in reviling the
friends of the South and in believing ISLANDERS
on the South, even the most silly.
Unlike the insect from which the New Or
leans Bee takes its name, it sucks poison from
every flower.
We thought the Bee was stupid enough, but
the Bulletin is struggling for precedence in that
particular, and we shall suspend our decision
between them.

the worse of Messrs. Schouler and Upham for
all that. A man cannot very well avoid being
born, nor can he conveniently choose the place
of his nativity, and as democracy is the snprem-
acy of man over his accidents" we have known
some most excellent men who happened to be
born in New Hampshire.
