Remarks.


Remarks.
The letter from which the above is ex-
tracted is signed A LOCKER On and not
j. B. yet the style and sentiment con-
spire to indicate the dictator if not the
actual inditer. 1t is none other than Hon.
James Brooks, NJ. C. from the With Dis
trict, and a prominent signer of the pro-
Slavery Pledge
"If the Wings in the State Legislature
will not support a Wing President" &c.
says Mr.. Brooks-that il, if they will not
approve and agree to sustain the Fugitive
Slave Law-then "the Wing party is dis
solved" But Mr.. Brooks was made per-
fectly, Enthusiastically aware last Fall that
the Wing party of New York wOaId not
approve the Fugitive Slave Law, and
wOuld not be pledged to quiescence with
regard to any future efforts to foist Slavery
into the New Territories. These truths
were very distinctly set forth at Syracuse,
and sustained by the subsequent action of
the party in at least three-fourths of the
Counties and Districts. Yet, in the face of
these we'll understood avowals, the Silver
Grays held a separate State Convention
and publicly resolved to support the candt-
dates nominated at Syracuse, although the
very first man on the ticket-WASHINGTON
HuNr-had publicly proclaimed himself
hostile to the Fugitive Slave Law. How
can their past course be recOnciled with
their present !
Messrs. Brooks, McKissock, Schermer-
horn, Havens, Haws and other supporters
of the Compromise measures, were not
unwilling to be voted for and elected by
Wings who condemned the Fugitive Slave
Law and refused to be committed to Its
support. Is it good faith on their part now
to kick down the ladder on which they
climbed into the next Congress
- The Legislature of our State and the
Wing majority therein have done nothing
of which complaint can plausibly be made
They have simply decided to do the bust
ness on which their constituents sent them
to Albany and let Washington matters
alone. For this, Silver Grayism threatens
to defeat the election of Wing U. ). Sc
nator, and that Senator Hamilton Fish!
1t is but a few days since the Wing
members of our Legislature met in friendly
conference, and, after a free and full inter
change of sentiment, decided to pass no
Resolves at all on the subject of Slavery.
The Silver Gray leaders were present and
assented to this course. All would thence
forth have been harmony and strength but
for the Intervention of mischief. makers

Justly chargeable to these intermediates.
"A majority of the Wing Members, it
is well known, do not approve the Fugitive
Slave Law, and DO not consider Slavery

they are not hostile to the President nor to
his Cabinet; they propose to let the Com

The Barber of Seville is the Jubilee Of Rossini's
genius. 1t is just at the level of his power, and
affords the amplest scope for the gushing auency
Of his melody, the fascinating meditation of which
he is master, and the concerted richness of bis
harmonies. The whole moves forward, sparkling
mass of sound, and where the melody yields to
the rectative it seems rather a. if the musical
continuity were but a moment inaudible, for it is
sure to bubble beautifully up again presently in
some exquisite phrase. It is in the true Opera
region, also. The character of burlesque, by re-
moving it from too great reality elevates it be-
yond the inevitable criticism OF absurdity against
which, few Of the many Operas can stand. It's
remarkably rich in oil the characteristic charms
of ROssini, and only left a vague regret in the
midst of its sparkling sway, that we have had
little 80 genuine music since the opening Der

The Commissioners Gointly) have
fixed the starting point. We have Sc
cured the copper mines and large tract
of country on the Gila, which we did
not expect. Col. Craig starts for the
copper mines on the 10Th JAM, to estab-
lish Post.
y The point established, says the Gal
weston News, is the intersection of the
32d parallel of latitade with the Rio
Grande, which is about eighteen miles
north of Ell Paso. From this point the
treaty provides that the line shall run
due west until it strikes some branch of
the Gila, and thence follow that stream
to its junciure with the Colorado. In
case said line should not strike the Gila,
or any of It's branches, tits then to pro-
ceed west till il approaches the nearest
point to the Gila. from which point the
boundary is 10 run due north to the Gila.
II is now ascertained that the only
branch of the Gila the westerly line can
strike connects with the Gila some fifty
or one huncred miles west of the cop
per and gold mines, and runs in north
westerly direction, leaving the mineral
region considerably within the United
States.
his yet doubtful whether this west
line will even strike this branch of the
Gila at all, in which case it will have to
run little beyond the meridian lO9 deg.
west, which is the nearest point to the
main body OF the Gila, being about one
hundred miles to the south. This boun-
dary is considerably to the south Of the
actual boundary of New Mexico, as un-
derstood by the Mcxicans, and takes in
large portion of country that has al
ways belonged to the State of Chihuahua.

Iowa and Missouri.

A PREDIcTIoN.-The st. Louis Intel
ligencer in an article commencing the en-
ligh,ened Legislation of Iowa upon edu-
cational matters, and the usury question
makes the following prediction:
Six monihs hence, the actual practi..
cal rate of interest in Iowa, will be low
er than it is in Missouri. Capital will
flow in upon her from all quarters, and
considerable con- petition will at once re-
duce the rate of reasonable standard,
whilst in Missouri the onlv men who
will have money to loan, will be the
shavers, the unscrupulous Shylocks, who
will grow rich, while honest men become
poorer. As matter of valuable politi-
cal information, we shall endeavor some
months hence, to ascertain whether our
prediction is not realized as to the rela-
tive rates of interest in Missouri and
Iowa.

Judge Mcclure, of Pittsburgh, is de-
cidedly the plainest spoken Jurist we
think we ever heard of. In a recent
trial for murder, in that city, the jury
brought the defendant, James Kelly, in
guilty of murder in the second degree.
The Judge did not like this, and when
he came to sentence him, he addressed
the prisoner as follows: "You James
Kelly, well merit the galsows, and that
you have not gol il is no fault OF mine.
! charged the Jury pointedly that you
were guilty of murder in the first de-
gree. The blood that will hereafter be
shed, on account of the verdict of the
jury by whom you were tried. viii not
be upon my skirts; had | charged other
wise, | would have considered that |
might as well have let a wild tiger loose
on the streets or placed ratilesnake un-
der the pillow of an infant! There is
no doubt as to your atrocious guilt in
the fendish and diabolcal murder of
John Cox. You stand before this court
spotted all over with the crime of wilful
and premedltated murder-unparalleled
in the annals Of crime, and instead OF
passing sentence cousigning you to
cell in the Penitentiary, we shoald at
this time be passing the sentence of death
upon you-you richly deserve it,

An Indiana clergyman lately told a
story about a man with whom he board
ed when college boy. The man was at
work one frosty morning, and happened
to get slight scratch on the back of his
hand. A single moments attention to
it would have caused it to heal in dav
or two. Ii was neglected. A slight in
6amation appeared, which simple poul-
tice would have recuced, but il was neg
lected. The hand became inllamed, and
should have had the best lhedical atten-
,ion, but it was neglected. The arm and.
shoulder, and back were seized with
pain, and now all was alarm and confu-
sion. Twelve physicians were soon in
attendance to. consult upon the easel
The question was, whether. cutting off
the limb would save the mans life, and
it was decided to be too late. The
disease had gained mortal hold, and no
human skill could arrest it. A vicious
habi,-an INDUCED little sin-a neglect,
ed duty-how easily are they taken
care of if we are in season with them,
but how stubborn and ruinous they be-
come if they are let alone! ~

Natures reproofs are not as constant
and ready as it would seem to us they
might be, but they are very touching
when they do come. We find the fol-
lowing a an introduction TO a poem in
Godey's last number.-Home Journal,
"A lady had two children, both girls.
The elder was fair child: the younger
a beauty, and the mothers pet. Her
whole love centered in it. The elder
was neglected, while sweet (the pet
name of the youuger) received every at
tention that affection could bestow. One
day, after severe illness, the mother
was sitting in the parlor, when she heard
childish step upon the stairs, and her
thoughts were instantly with the favori,c.
is that you, SWEET she inquired. r
No, mamma was the sad, touching
reply; sit isn't sweet; it's only me-
The mothers heart smote her; and.
from that hour, 'Only me- was restored
to an equal place in her affections"
