Who shall wear the PantaIoons 2

The Baltimore Sun thus chronicles the pro-
gress of the pantaloo n-movement among the
damsels down-east We venture however TO
predict that few ofthe blooming portion of the
sex, even in the land of "isms," will resort to
Bloomer-sm. Those who cannot attract atten-
ton or excite admiration in petticoats may ruhs
into petitions in sheer desperation.
PROGRESS OF THE New CosrUME-The new
costume for ladies appears destined to work a
revolution in New England, at least. In Boston,
when they do get hold of an ism or "a notion"
they pursue il with afortytranseendenfali ener-
gy. A writer in the Traveller, there, tells of
meeting "eleven ladies clad in the new costume"
in the course of short walk in Washington
street, and the journal and the Traveller are
clearly out in favor of the novel rig. The Ira
weller, of Friday, says
"Bluomerism is evidently in the ascendant
From every quarter we hear of ladies who have
had the courage-some call IL the manliness-
to assume the new dress AS general thing,
these are is lated cases--it being only here and
there, in any community, that lady is willing
to run the gauntlet of prejudice and gaping
curiosity-an ordeal to which the adoption of
any material change in costume is necessarily
exposed. LOWELL however, as we are credibly
informed, is rapidly becoming perfect Bloom
erdom; and already the new dress is the ruling
fashion. A gentleman who was in the city of
spindles and spinsters, yesterday, informs us,
upon his honor as q bachelor, that he saw as
many as fifty very pretty ladies' adorned with the
Bloomer costume. And the dress makers there,
as our informant learned, are so oveuun with
business that orders have necessarily to be given
sometime in advance. One halter had Sold
within few days, as many as two hundred of
the Boomer hats"
Five the most lovely and pleasing bellies of
Somerville, Mass, had also publicly appeared in
the new costume.
Meantime, the Boomers are not having it all
their own way in the "lterary emporium" They
are buresquing the thing at the theatres--Miss
Anna Cruise representing the veritabe "Mrs.
Bloomer," Mrs. Prior taking the part of the re-
nowned, "Mrs. Swisshelm," and Mrs. Vincent,
that of the excellent "Mrs. Partington." In New
York, Brougham is about to bring out similar

SOUTHERN WRONGS AND THE REMEDY.-Ihe
Southern people, generally and the people OF
Mississippi in particular, complain of the action OF
Congress, last year, because it excludes them
from vast empire acquired mainly by the
bravery of Southern soldiers, and by money
collected from the Southern States. Those acts
also manifest an aggressive disposition on the
part of the general government, which justly
alarms them for the future.
Under these difficult and embarrassing cir
cumstances the question arises what shall We
do IL seems to us that an answer can easily
be given.
Let there de demand for amending the
territorial bills, by repeating the Mexican laws
on the subject of slavery. This would leave
Utah and New Mexico so that the emigrant from
n slave State could take his property there as
well as ore of the free States. We should also
demand division of the State of California, on
the line of &C. 0,ether by purchase or cesson, or
by asking the voluntary consent Of the people
of California, and the repeal of every law, that
- ould prevent the existence of slavery, South
of that line. This consent would be given readily
as many persons in that State are anxious for such
division, because the State is too large. We
should further demand the immediate repeal of
the law abolshing the slave trade in the Dis
law to stand, it will soon lead to the abolition
of slavery in the District, and of the slave trade
between the States.
Onion of the South would obtain all these
demands. They would to some extent indem-
Nifty us for the past, and give security for the
future and perpetuate the Union.
We respectfully suggest these things to the
friends of the South, 10 this and the other South
ern States. If the June convention of the
Democratic State Rights party would adopt
cur suggestions as the basis of q platform, we
can carry the State by majority of twenty
thousand. elf this State lays down such plat
form, other Southern States would do the same.
This would lead to Union of the South, which
is important and essential to success.
We shall close this article by asking the at
tention and serious consideration of these sug-
gestions, by every man who wants to preserve
the Upon, and the rights of the States and
liberties of the people.

Vermont, Connecticut, Pennsy wanna. Maryland,
Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana,
Mississippi Alabama and some others have adopt
ed the same principles In substance. The States
of New Hampshire, Maryland and Tennessee,
have each declared In It's constitution, that "tbe
doctrine OF non-resistace against arbitrary power
is absurd. slayish, and destructive Of the good
and happiness of mankind" Upon the principle
of the right If resistance and the right OF Seees-
sion from the Union the people OF Georgia
through their delegates, recently met IN conven-
ton, have declared that the State in their Judg-
ment will and ought 90 resist even TO dlsrup-
ton of every tie which binds her TO NE Union,
any such action of Congress as Is mentioned IN
the resolution, containing the declaration. but
nasmuch as the people OF Georgia nave deter
mined, solemnly, in convention, mat IRON none
of the past wrongs of the general government
however aggravated they may be, Will the State
exercise this unquestionable right, il is sufficient
to consider it as set down by our people, as a
political axiom, to be acted on, whenever in
their Judgment, the evils of the Union, more
than counterbalance its benefits.
The Consti alton is the compact Of Union, and
our safety depends on strict construction OF 1t.
II il to our country what the bible is to the
christian, and a departure from it will be fatal to
our political security But we cannot be blind
To the fact that for some time past little respect
has been paid to it, and that the tendency of the
Government is TO consolidation. We must re-
turn to lis principles as expounded by the apes
ties of republcanism in '9S aud 80 or our noble
fabric will fall TO pieces Let us do all we can as
State to preserve it, Let US insist on the full
measurs of Justice to ourselves for people who
do not value their own rights, need not hope that
they will be respected by others. We must use
the means in our power, and they are abundant,
to enlighten the public mind bring education to
the door of every man, trusting to the ministers
of our holy religion to spread the principles mo-
rality and justice among our people, and having
done all that depends on human effort to pre-
serve the glorious Constitution Of our ancestors,
hope for the blessing of God upon our exertions
as the means of saving the Confederacy on the
terms and in the purity, it was His good will 1t
should be established.

The Boston Alias, one of the Wing organs,
finds it expediert to turn the cold shoulder to its
Southern co-operators on the compromise
platform, since Mr.. WEBSTER and the Admins
tration have so emphatically declared their
Northern nationality.
We clip from 1t the following paragraph
which proves that the Northern compromises
are not willing to forget and forgive the past
offences of all of their Southern converts. The
Alias says:
sit is stated that Messrs. Toopbs and Ste
phens, of Georgia, do not support the dsuniou
candidate for governor; that they, after having
preached and threatened disunion in Congress
discovered that the doctrine was not popular nj
home. 1t is not the first time that men who
SOW the wind" refuse to reap the whrlwind.'
