sour own dear Fillmore,s-
NoLLIrlcArros NoRru AND Souru.

The hypocrtical professions OF the Ad-
feeling, which knows no North, no South,
no East, no West, are exposed by acts
which speak louder than words.
When South Carolina talked Of seces.
sion and called n State Convention, the
President forth with proceeded 70 oyerawe
the State by military demonstration, the
forts were manned, munitions OF war sent
down, and the frowning guns Of the forts
brought to bear on the city OF Charleston.
From all the Presidents organs rose shrill
veil of treason" "ireason," an the peo-
pie Of that State were abused. viliied aud
denounced by every abusive epithet in the
vocabulary And all this, because. exercis-
ing the prerogative OF freemen, they exer.
csed the right Of free speech, aud openly
canvasscd the constitutionality Of certain
public measures.
Well, Massachusetts denounced the law,
defies aud denounces the execution of it
within her borders---her people forcibly res
cue one IN legal custody. and the law can
only be executed in its capital city by
stealth at midnight, and where slumbers this
i
storm Of patriotic Indignation? Why the
President writes pathetic appeal TO his
dearly beloved lellow-citizens of Boston.
and gives them diplomatic assurances of
his distinguished consideration--andi is very
certain that they will never act so naughti-
y again. Instead of pointing guns at Boz
ton, he sends them their own X FOUNDER uf

finding FauneiI Hall doors not on golden
axles moving" comes back quite exploded.
The organs all treat this outrage most gul-
gery---it was mere accident, &c. The
Northern stomach is too squeamisIl To be
feasted on the epitlIets which are supposed
to I've the proper food for Southern digestion.
Well, animated by these examples OF i'm.

The Tariff.

II is stated that the friends OF the protec-
tive system are mastering powerfully at
Washington, aud il is feared that they viii
succeed if good share of Western mem
bers can be obtained for their support, by
=" log-roIling" with the River and Harbor
Bill. joining together scht mes of plHnder
The Mobile Tribune presents one feature
of these outrageous demands, OF interest
just now, when our people are undertaking
great works of Improvement
The most camorous Of these people
are those from Pennsylvania, whose object
Is TO increase the cost Of iron TO ITS con.
sumers, If the tariff they propose he ac>
cepted, we shall have to pay on the iron
with which we build our railroad, some five
huhnred thousand dollars more than ii cnn
be bought for. This sum will go INTO the
pockets OF Pennsylvania iron masters--men
now able TO live like princes--aud be with.
drawn from us. So, in the same proper
tion, to every farmer who uses iron in his
daily business
II is feared at Washington that these men
will succeed in their object. IL n good
share OF Western members can he Obtained
for its support, there is doubt of their sue
cess.
The agents from the East use The old ar.
gument in pushing their impudent demands
for more duty. They declare that theiI
mills are in sad and dying condition, and
If something be not done for them by the
general Government ruin will fall on their
interests Happily for the people, this
manner OF ruin will be but temporary, and
Injuries only very small part Of the popu-
laton, To the great mass IL will bring
cheaper commodities, and divert capital and
labor into channels where they can get their
reward, as other pursuits get it, by untram.
melled competition with the world.
This plea of tho Eastern men, however.
is doubles in great measure false for
while 1t Is used, new manufactures are
being constantly built and wealth and pros
perity are general in the States which de-
mand increased duties. Boston now is the
wesl,hiest city. for its population, within
the United States--and towns are growing
with singular rapidity within its neighbof-
hood. in a barren. ungratcful soil, that Is
worthless when compared with the soil Of
the South. The truth Is, the game played
bv these States. is simply one Of robbery.
IL is to get, by no means, the power and
patronage of the Government on their side,
IL is also a thing of custom. They have
been protected from the beginning, and this
has created necessity for it, We were in
years past, repeatedly told that the manu-.
featuring interest required aid only to give
it start; yet we are now just as far from
the object Of the first protective tariff laws
as we were the day they Were enacted.
As a single evidence of the vast increase
Of Northern wealth. we may take the town
of Chelsea, which is not far from Boston
Within the last ten years the assessed value
of the property Of that place has risen from
a half million to four miions-yct doubt;
less its very people are among the mosl
begarly of the tariff petitioners, and

Rebellion i'm China.

The Celestial Empire seems to be in
a state of internal warfare. We copy
the following from our late foreign
files:
"Thc North China Herald. of the 5th
March, contains correspondence be-
tween the commissioners of the Amer
ican and Chinese Governments regard
ing smuggling, and the expectation of
grain from the consular ports of China.
From letters on the latter subject we
learn that the Hon. DIR Parker, Acting
American Charge d'Afaires in China,
has called on his subordinate> to issue
instructions to the merchants TO desist
from the expectation ofrice, wheat and
other grains, pending a reference ofthe
question to the American congress.
The rebellion was still progressing,
and the rebels appeared to be carrying
all before them. An attack on the cit
les OF Pekin and Canton was expected,
and Sen, the Governor-general, was be-
sieged in the city of Knou- -chow-ioo,
A rebellion had broken out in the
Canton province. The officers engag>
ed in collecting the taxes, found some
who had no means of paying, but in
stead Of seizing these men. they took
their elder brothers into custody, espe
cially the richer ones, from whom they
expected to obtain a good deal Of mo-
ney, as ransome. The inhabitants be-
came enraged, and rose and killed the
magistrates"

A Startling Picture.

During the discussion of the Maine Law
in the Massachusetts House of Represen.
tative, J. T. Stevenson, Esq, Of Boston.
though opposed to the bill, spoke as fol.
lows:

self from the abuse of taflic whose inev,
liable tendencies are to make such a pic
ture a daily aud hourly reality. in thousands
of cases, is TO say that the community is
bound to let any and all plaques and curses
do their diabohcal work Unchecked and mn.
molested. There may be difference of opn.
ion as to. the best methods of preventing the
terrible evil but as TO the right, expedien-
cy and duty of doing something, and the
most effective thing that can be done for

No human art can put into that picture
shades darker than the truth
"Put into such picture every conceiv-
able thing that is terrible or revolving; paint

paint a landscape with living trees whose

with mountain torrents tributary to an
ocean whose very waves are fire; put in

foreground the terrible certainty Of an ac'
cursed future paint prisons with doors thai

tormented souls, with children upon whose

BY L. VIRGINIA SMITH.


Winds upon your mystic flight,
Laden with the smile and tear,
Stay your pinions, soft and light,
Der loved one, on her bier.
Breathe upon her snowy brow,
Kiss the lashes folded deep,
Over living splendors now
Curtained i'll eternal sleep.
Waters, on your hidden path,
Vending to the Southern main,
Lull the murmurS of your wrath
, Toa gentle signing strain;
Family let your music flow,
rolling with the restless tide,
Wall the heart that slumbers low,
BY the lonely riverside.
Blossoms brightning the way
OF the lovely to the tomb.
Fair as you, this child of clay,
Faded ere your early bloom;
Softly droop upon her breast,
Lightly may your leaflets wave,
Der the placid dFeamless rest
Ofthe gifted in her grave.
Children of the "Wreath and Lyre,"
Where, upon life's dizzy steep,
Burns the spirits quenchless fire,
Where its echoes never sleep.
Tidiugs OF her triumph tell
To the earth, and sea, and sky,
Like an organs gathering swell,
Sing of one mot born to diet'
