wise, yet we honor the integrity OF the Judge
and the feelings Of the man.
There is one idea ,ehich, TO a certain cIass
of our readers, it may not be 0nitss to present.
1t is h,s: The siarehOlding States wW nerer

Of siares, and other descriptions Of property.

| zee need not he surprised to hear Of reprisats
| in Virginia npon the property Of Ner York
ers. ~ is a game which tro can play at, and
in mhich the party is likely to lose most ghich
has most to lose.
Since writing the above, we have met with
an article on the subject in the Philadel
phia Blu lleiin, the closing paragraph OF which
we subjoin:
The practical effect of this decision on the
South will be TO increase the irritation already
existing there, and especially to inJure. TO
| very considerable degree, the trade OF New
York with that region. 1t will have another
result also, and one thafwill affect the slave
Hereafter, when emigrants move from Virginia,
or other of the Atlantic slave States to the
| sou invest, they will be compelled to travel by
| land with their slaves, and the hardships of
altogether, on the latter. 1t will no longer be
safe for masters to carry their slaves down the
Ohio, by steamer, since, under this decision,
| the slaves may be seized, under hdbeds cor
pas, at any stopping place on the northern side
Of the river. In TACT, how momentous this de-
| sision is, few persons have yet conceived But
| time and circumstances will develop this.
1t has been seen above, l. That the decision
is liable to be overruled by higher tribunals ;
and 2. That the law which was supposed 10
| make the decision necessary, is liable,-we
| Trust we may say likely.-to be repealed at an
| early day. We must and will get rid of the
villainous sectional leg slation adopted during
the triumph of Sewardism.
We call particular attention to the portion of
this extract which we have put in italics. We
would not say to the abolition portion Of the
New York press, what We will say to the Jour
nal of Commerce, because, were we to do SC,
we should be flouted and sneered at by men who
would not believe that there was any danger Of
dissolution, at time when the Union was
heaving from its very foundation. To that pa
per we will say, then, that let the consequen-
ces be what they may, if this law is retained,
reprisals uiU be made on New York property,
and we suspect that they will be authorised by
law. We do not understand such distinctions
as Judge Paine has affected TO draw, and the
Journal is perfectly right in saying that we
cam OF be made to understand them. The peo-
pie of this State believe, almost TO d II an, that
they have as much right to pass law proh-
biting The passage Of New York horses, or cat
tie. or dry goods through Virginia, as New
York has to forbid the passage of her citizens
with their slaves. They may be wrong, but
they are not nice casuists like Judge Paine, and
they will not be kept back. We intend no
threat; we state simple fact. Upon the judg-
ment, then, of the New York Supreme Court,
and upon the action of her Legislature, de-
perds the attitude of Virginia towards her SIS
ter State.
NATURALIZATION pious cousins, over the
water, only regard annexation IS crime in
certain longitudes, and when practieed by GER
tain people. They have dispensation them
selves, of which they make quite free use in
the East. The Paris correspondent Of the
Journal Of Commerce, inserts the following pa
ragraph from late number Of the Bombay
Times:
The annexation of Burmab must follow our
success, unless prevented by stringent orders
from the home authorities. The best informed
tiicu III tuI5 COuHtff, tluuidj are UeClUtuly In
favor of it; and if we do not annex it, it is not
improbable that Brother Jonathan may pounce
bpon it. In his hands the valley ofthe Irrawaddy
would not be as backward in ninety five years,
as the valley Of the Ganges has been in ours"
FINAL SETTLEMENT OF THE LoBos CUES
TIoS.-The Washington papers announce that
see.,ler1ent has been made between the De-
partment of State and the Peruvian Minister,
of the Lobos difficulty. The settlement ap-
pears to have been based on informetion re-
ceived at times, from Mr.. Clay, our Charge at
Lima, and through him from the government
of that country. After duly weighing all the
facts and arguments in his possession, the Pre-
sident came 10 the conclusion, which was una
nimously concured in by the Cabinet, that i,
was just and proper to withdraw the objections
taken by the late Secretary of State to the
| rights Of Peru, and TO acknowledge, unreserv-
| eddy, her sovereignty over the Guano Islands
on her coast and in her possession.
The National Intelligencer states that the
Peruvian Minister at Washington, makes the
following engagements on the part of his GO
vernment:
That the Peruvian Government will, on its
| own account, freight at $40 per ton all the yes
sells which left the United States for the Lobos
Islands between the 9Th of June and the 25th o
August; that the Peruvian government will
buy, at fair price, the implements and uten
sils carried outby vessels to be used in procur
ing guano; and that vessels in the Pacific
chartered under orders sent before the 25th u
| August, and which could not be countenanced
shall be included in the arrang ement, on con
dition of reporting TO the Agents Of the Peru
Wan Government in the United States before
the first of January, 1853.
