An Absurd Conclusion.

A principal and his accomplice, wcro recent
ly brought up for trial in Lowell, Massachusetts,,
for violating the person of married lady, while
in tho mesmeric state. Upon its being alleged
before the Court, that the woman and her hus-
band, who were principal witnesses, were athe-
lists, the Judge proposed the following qucs-
tons - Do you disboliove that people will be
punished hereafter, for bad actionsY Answer,
i don't know anything about itr In consc-
qucncc the Judge decided not to admit the tes-
timony, and discharged the accused.
The answer of tho outraged persons under
these circumstances, was the best possible evi-
dence the y could have given of their truthful
ness of character, and yet that answer set aside
their testimony, and released the villain. This
incident forcbly illustrates the absurdity and
injustice of making mans belief in theologi-
cal dogmas test of character. The idea is al
ready being secuted even from Orthodox
Churches. 1t is time it was also from the law,
and our citizens no longer deprived oflcgal pro-
lection of life and character, because they can
not reconcile their opinions of benevolent God
with the implacable and vindictivc theology of
the popular church.

Steam Engines.

We intended ere now TO call attention to tho
advertisement of Messers Thomas Sharp &
Brothers, published in another column. To
those acquainted with the Sharps, and their
Engines, nothing need be said in their favor,
and those unacquainted, if they take the trou-
bic to inform themselves, will We are confident
be convinced that their engines arc fully equal
to the rery best in the country; being capable
of doing as much work, with as little fuel or
repair, as any used cast or west. An examina-
ton of the engines manufactured by the Sharps,
among which we will mention that recently
erected at the Steam Mill of E. Smith of this
place, will fully sustain all we say in their fa-
vor. The prices are such as no one who wants
a good permanent job, will be likely to CON-

States or States in which he might settle
Living in South Carolina, we shall neither
be able to inherit the lands of our parents,
children, or kindred, in the other States, nor
will they be able to inherit ours!
"This is not all, nor the tenth of the evils
and mistortunes to which secession will
bring this once proud and gallant State Of
the Confederacy. Her commerce will for
sake her-Charleston will no longer be tho
emporium of the South. She can only inn
port for her own merchants, and sell to her
own citizens. Not bale of her goods can
get beyond her limits, in consequence Of the
duties which they would have to pay. We
should no longer see the merchants Of Geor-
gia, and Alabama, Tennessee, and North
Carolina, and Mississippi, coming to trade
with Charleston. The cities of Augusta and
Savannah OH the one side, and Wilmington
on the other, would literally strip her of her
commerce, and make her a pauper State,
compared to what she is now. The idea of
giving her prosperity by levying ten per cent.
on goods now free of duties, and made in tho
Northern States, for the purpose Of having
them smuggled over the Savannah river,
could have originated with none but seces-
sonist.

from the Union, her railroads will be value
less, and her banks destroyed. Her manu-
factories and public Improvements will sink
into utter insignificance. Not q bunch of
yarn can get over the maintains of North
Carolina, without paying heavy duties
Every load Of apples or Irish potatoes which
we receive in return must be stopped at the
custom house and pay duties. The value of
our lands will be destroyed, and our capital
and enterprise driven from the State.
"But it is in vain to suppose that South
Carolina will thus be permitted peacenbly to
secede from the Union. In the language of
Mr.. Burt, as true and as gallant a son as
South Carolina possesses, we need expect
no such event. The President is sworn to
enforce the laws, and for this purpose he is
put in command of the army and navy of
the United States. The collection of the
customs on board vessel, in the harbor Of
Charleston, might at once check-mate seces-
sion and prevent resort TO force. But if il
did not, who can entertain doubt as to the
result of contest between South Carolina,
without an army or navy, and the United
States with both, equal to any in the world
for skill and science. A fearful responsible
ty rests on him who urges the State into so
unequal conflict"

PCOnagC in New Mexico.

Governor Smith Of Now MEXICO in his recent
message advised the Legislature to adopt meas
urcs for the regulation of Peonagc. This 'regu-
iation' means the adoption of the system as ma
tonal institution.
From the account Of its origin and character
which We annex from the Savannah Republic
can it will be seen that it is but another form
for perpetual slavery of the unfortunate debtor
who may be unable to escape. This is now re-
cognized institution in our national Territory.
Who can expect from a government that toier-
ates the existence of this system, any opposi-
ton to the introduction of negro slaveryi
Peonage is q species of slavery, resulting
from debt, and is bottomed upon contract. 1t
had its origin in tho civil law, existed first in
Rome, then in Spain, and, finally, was intro
duced into Mexico, while it was a Spanish prov
ince. Hence, we have it this day in New
Mexico. The poems Of that territory are gem
orally Indians, who have become indebted to
the whites and are unable to pay though it is
not confined entirely to them. 1t is said that
any person, white black, or coppor-colorcd, may
be made peon, if he places himself in the con-
dltion OF an insolvcnt debtor. Hence, if an in
dividual should create debt, then peonage ex-.
'SN't aAS 40 Nh1OAC " ulSCHuTBC LnlB
gives the creditor the right to take him before
the alcade, who gives him power over the Pc
on until the debt is paid. The master then fur
nishes the debtor or pcon with all supplies, for
which he charges his own price, and credits
him with his services, but generally takes caro-
to strike balance against him, so that he is
mover able to discharge the debt. The conse-
quenco is, that the peon becomes slave for
life and not only slave for life, but tho debt
descends to posterity, and the children are fur
nished with supplies by the master, in the same
way as were the parents. Thus the son, when
he comes to maturity finds himself indebt-
cd to the master to such an extent that
he can never free himself, and, consequently,
he and his descendants, ad infnituni, are made
slaves irrccevably.
Different systems of this species of scrvitude
obtain in different localities. Every city, ovcry
town, every municipality, has right to make
regulations respecting their poems or servants.
And perhaps there may bo half dozen differ
ent systems now existing in New Mexico, in
different localities.

Emancipation in New Grenada.

The provisions of the recent law for the abo-
lition of Slavery in the Republic of New Grena-
da are noticed by the Panama Star as follows.
The law goes into effect on the first Of January
next.
That on the day named, LIST January, 1852,
slavery shall no longer exist in this Republic
All persons liberated from slavery shall be en-
titled to the same privileges, and governed by
the same laws as arc other citizens of New
Granada.
No Slave under forty-fve years shall be val
ued at a. greater sum than one thousand six
hundred reals if male nor over one thousand
two hundred reals If a female over forty-fiye
value OF male slave shall not exceed one
thousand two hundred reals, which compensa-
ton is to be paid to the owners, by the Govern
ment.
1t appears further that tho law contemplates
the purchase of certain New Granadians who
are held in slavery in Peru. On this FL Pam
emana remarks:
All Granadians taken to Peru, as slaves, are
free, absolutely free, and New Grenada is un-
der no obligation to pay one cent for them.
They arc FREQ, because, neither in New Ora
NADIA nor in Peru can this traffic be allowed
without infringing upon our respective con-
tracts with Great Britain.
They are free, because a published Peruvian
law declares them SO, the moment they touch
Peruvian soil.
Tney are free, because they arc our fellow be-
ings

Affection i the richest pearl,
Nor lightly should be thrown away
On them who cannot love repay:
Beware to whom thf II shalt i-npart

Or winning words, or witching grace:
But choose thou one who h, nored name

Let it BE one of cultured mind.
