Texas appears 10 be in considera-
bic OF a ferment in relation to her
Boundary, and by her authorities
threatens 10 send on armed forces to
maintain her claim to half of New
Mexico. She seems. forgetfiA Of tlle
lesson afforded by Shay's Rebellion
and the Whiskey lnsurfection.
Of the 10000 Nullifers who were
to be en- masse at Macon, $4,000
were missing. Le,oisbnrg Chronicle.
Texas has not forgotten that les
son, but she knows, as the Chronicle
would know if fanaticism had not
perverted his reason, that lesson to
be entirely unapplicable to her case.
There is not the shadow of a resem-
blance between the case of a soye
rein State, whose clear and unmis-
table rights are invaded, and whose
territory is sought to be dismembered,
and that of a few distracted malcen.
tents, whose avowed objects were
not the maintenance of right and the
security of justice, but the utter sub
version Of law and order; and the
Lewisburg Chronicle will find this
distinction become shllgreater should

kee emisaries to coerce the State OF

THE KEOW EE. COU RIER.

] MIR Fillmore will most favor we are
at a loss to know, we suspect howev-
Ell, that before he allays the wrath of
these his contendirg creatures and
gets himself fairly out ofthe difficulty
he will find, as many have found be-
fore him, that when tive teach bloody
instruction, they being taught, return
TO plague the inventor"
The following extract so eminent
ly characteristic of the sentin ents and
feelings of those Southern editors
who bow themselves mcekly to the
Northern Baal, and worship humbIy
at his filthy alters, we take from the
Ashville Messenger of the 4th inst.
The Messenger calls Mr.. Soule sa
Frenchman," and San upstart for
eigner," who is attempting to s'dic-
tate 10 us, and trying TO destroy our
institutions" If MIR. Soule does
happento have been born in France,
he shows and feels a deeper solicitude
for the honor and integrity of his
adopted country, than such ''natiucs"
as the Ashville Messenger have
shown, or can ever feel. 1t is a pity
indeed that the Messenger himself is
not such Frenchman, for if we had
more such in the country and in the
Senate, the enemies of the South
would not be triumphing over her, as
now they are triumphing. = r
This is by no means The first at
tack of the kind which has been
made upon MIR. Soule; the brave and
noble stand which he has taken a.
gainst northern aggression, his search
ing exposition Of northern iniquity,
his withering rebukes to the pulling
demagogues by whom he is sur
rounded, and above all his unan-
swerable defence of the South, her
institutions and position, have arous-
ed the anger of the entire "kith and
KIM and set the whole pack Of time
servers at his heels, so that with Lear
he might exclaim:
"The little dogs and all,
Tray, Banch, and Sweetheart see, thoy bark
| at me-" ''
But fortunately these little fellows
are extremely harmless, being capa
BILE of nothing more terrible than
barking, and therefore they receive
but little attention from Mr.. Sou!e
and his friends, the Southern people,
whose good sense teach them to act
ON the maxim ''de mininnis non curat
lex"
"FoREIeN INFLUENcE.-We have
always feared the effect of foreign
inl' ence with our republican institu-
ti@!s by men brought up and school
ed in despotic Governments more
than anything else. The father of
his country warned all his children to
beware oft and it will be well for
them to heed it. Look now at Mr..
Soule, OF Louisiana, a Frenchman,
the head of the disunion band, ridicu-
Ing and storming out against the
Union! What right has this upstart
foreigner to come over here and be
debating to us, and trying to destroy
our institutionsl None! May we
be preserved from such influences
now and forever"

wilhstanding such are the facts, we
should be charitable enough to believe
hat our District has been neglected
more from a want of efficient repre-
sentatives, than from any inherent
disposition in the Legislature to slight
it.
But we do not admit the s'offices"
will be fire proof" when completed;
because the basement story only will
be of brick, while the roof and upper
story will be ofwood, and yet l flat
ter myself, that / shall show, before |
close, how the records &c, will be
seven fold more secure with, than
without, the basement story ofbrick.
Wcalso think that, ifthe Legislature,
IN making amends for former negli-
gence, has given a larger sum than is
absolutely necessary to put up the
brick story, the remaindershould be
used in digging down The hill;" and
tthe Commissioners ofpublic build
ngs have any surplus funds on hand,
they should be applied to some other
useful Improvement on the public
grounds and buildings.

WESTMINSTER REvIEw.--We
have received the July number af this
Review in which we find many inter
esting articles. e
The article on prostitution, contains
some melancholy information in rela-
ton TO that unhappy class of women,
whose miserios and crimes make
them out laws Of humanity, together
with many thoughts and suggestions
by which those censors might profit,
who are disposed to condemn for sin
rather than pity for miscbance.
