~ The Republic has quoted recently some
of the most extravagant positions of the French
Agrarians and socialists. Their doctrines amount
TO denial of the right of property and the insti-
tuition of property. And the Republic regards
this as destructive and revolutionary doctrir e.
But the late compounds is as fatal to the insti.
tuition of property as any Of the French dogmas
Before that compromise was adopted, the South
had an equal right to all the new territories
That compromise amounts to complete abro.
cation of that right Now, if under our Consti.
tuition and laws whole section can be deprived
Of its rights of property, we have already estab
lished q system Of agrarianism as complete and
more practical than any Of the schemes o.

E-Itis remarkable that although the North
has always been the navigating section of the
Union, the South has produced the great au-
thors Of our superiority in navigation.
RUasEY, of Virginia, was the first protector
and inventor Of steam navigation. He was the
first man On this continent TO build and navigate
a steamboat, and this vas done on James river.
The next attempt was made by FlTcH, on the
Delaware; and FuLToS came after him on the
Hudson. FrLTos must have known and used
the plans of RUasEY and FITCH.
The South has also been pre-eminent in sail
ing vessels. The Baltimore clippers have al.
ways been celebrated for their superiority over
other sailing vessels. And il now appears that
the man who modelled the America, which has
beaten all the yachts of Great Britain, is also q
Southerner-Mr. GgoRGE SEERs, Of this Dis

sY Perhaps We have done Tennessee injus-
dce--or rather We may have done wrong to the
Democrats of Tennessee. We were under the
impression that they had ratified the compromise.
We are now Informed on good authority, that
they did not ratify that odious measure. The
utmost they consented to was, that although the
compromise was gross wrong, they did not
think 1t warranted dissolution of the Union.
Hence. they denounced the compromise, but
insisted on preserving the Union. The Wings
Of that State defended the compromise, and de-
clared it to be fair and just measure. The Wings
were victorious by majority of about twelve
hundred votes in the governors election. Well,
the Democrats of Tennessee stand acquitted OF
indicating or supporting that odious measure
We are glad Of that. Time and events will not
only vindica.e the Democrats Of that State in
their opposition to the compromise, but will show
that such opposition was not sufficiently decided
and emphatic. ......... ~. . ..,.

The celebrated ode Of Horace, "s7d KenlplJ
lican,,' paraphrased to sui. the times.
BY c. s. PERcIvAL.
Safe, once again in port,
o! vessel, freighted with our hopes and fears,
Shattered and rent each spar and sail appears
Too long OF storms the sport!
Upon the angry wave,
Far out at sea we saw thee madly tossed,
Fearing each moment we must sec thee lost,
Without the power to save.
To view thee safe again,
Our terror. stricken hearts with jos It cheers,
Though still the winds that reused our snxion!
Are brooding DER the main. iear'
Cling 10 the sheltering shore;
The storm that vexed thee is not wholly past;
Still in the distance, barely escaped at last,
The breakers loudly roar.
Trust not the pilot now,
Whose reckless hand again upon the wave
Oh wild commotion, sure 10 be thy grave,
Would steer thy sheltered PROV.
Brand the vile mutneer,
Whose viper tongue, amid thy loyal crew,
The fatal strife and discord would renew,
That late have cost thee dear.
Rest thee in peace awhile,
Within the haven sale at anchor ride,
Till storms are hushed, till angry waves subside,
And skies serenely smile.
Then, with thy sail uninrled,
Thy mast erect, thy proud flag At its head,
Go forth, the fruits OF liberty to spend
Ger an expectant world!

CHrRcH GAMBLING One Of the reli
gious papers tells story in relation to
church gambling, which contains a lesson
worthy Of repeating. A member Of .
church went TO his pastor and en,reated his
personal intercessian with favorite son,
who bad become runously addicted TO the
vice Of gambling. The pastor consented.
and seeking the Young man, found him in
his chamber. He commenced bis lecture,
bu, before he had concluded, the Young
man laid his hand upon his arm. and drew
his attention to a pi!e Of splendid volumes
that stood upon The dressing table. 'WeIl,'
said The pastor, inquirinsly. We'll, (repli-
ed the young man) those volumes were
won by me NJ fair given in your church;
they were nv first venture, and but for that
lottery, under The patronage Of a Christian
church, should never have become gam
bler.' The pastor hid no answer.
