A New Book by Sfmms,

The Charleston Mercury mentions the ap
pearance of new work from the pen Of VIM.
GILMORE SIMMs, one of the most gifted and able
of our Southern writer's. Had Mr.. SIMMs pro.
duced the same works on the other side of Ma
SONS and DIxoN's line, both his rewards and his
reputation would have been higher, deservedly
high as the latter already is. The publishing
trade" at the North hitherto have controlled
both these matters too much. We hope bet
ter day is dawning on Southern authorship:
"THE GOLDEN CHRIsTMAs-A CHRONICLE OF
ST, JOINS BERKELEY We have been much
entertained by perusal of the above work, from
the press of Walker Richards e. Co. Mr..
Simms is never so successful as when he works
up the familiar scenes and traditional customs of
| Carolina into tales like that before us. His
descriptions are here more spirited, his delinea-
tons more faithful, and his language more as
we love to hearit In short, he supplies great
want in our literature, by preserving in such at
tractive FORMS the venerable, homemade, and
peculiar, which has come down to us from the
better days of Carolina.
"The present volume contributes very Of
fectually and agreeably to this end. 1t has, too
the additional virtue of emanntng from press
established amongst us, and devoted to the do
velopment of the literature of the South. This
is the first of a series, and Messrs. Walker and
Richards have, as they deserve, our best wishes
for the success offheir laudable scheme.

The young men of Albany, N. Y, or Il portion
of Them have held meeting for the purpose of
organizing an association to further the views
of KossUTH.
The first article Of the constitution explains
the character and purpose of the association:
"This society shall be called the " Hungarian
Liberty Association" of the city of Albany, and
will act as auxiliary to similar associations in
the United States its objects are to assist by
all lawful means any future struggle for Hun
garian and European Independence"
The Albany Journal thus indicates the pro-
bable action of the Legislature of that State:
The KossUTH REsoLUTIoNs.-Mr Luckey,
from the committee of the assembly, to whom
were referred the various resolutions in regard
to K0ssuth, Hungary, and Intervention, reported
Yesterday We rejoice to see that their labors
have been attended with gratifying results In
the resolutions which they Offer the principles
of international law are fully and frankly de-
clared, and national declaration is advocated,
of the right of every nation to control its do
nestle affairs, free from all foreign interference,
and of the principle that such interference con-
sttutes breach of the law Of nations, justify.

ected was denied the Southern opponents Of
the California bill in the Senate, yet that right

much addicted to the inconvenient habit of
speaking its views, says Of Gen CAss' last inter
tervention speech that it is "ofprodigious length
and feeble power" 1t denounces the PROPOSE
ton for which Gen. CAss contends as "absurd
and ridiculous" and says it involves a principle
at war with our institutions, and which if at
tempted to be carried out, will Immediately lead
to uncomfortable disasters.

FInaIIty Of the Compromise,

The N. Y. Evening Posi- thus cody refers to
the manner and form in which our brethren of
the North intend acquiescing in the iinaty of the
Compromise:
The Washington Union announces that it has
received communication from Virginia, asking
for information concerning statement which
has appeared in the public prints, to the effect
that the grand jury of Lancaster, Pennsylvania,
has refused to find indictments against the per-
sons concerned in the Christiana riot and the
murder of Gorsuch. He adds," saws the
Union, that he knows many citizens of Virgin
ia who are well aware that their fugitive slaves
are now in Pennsylvania, and would gladly re-
claim them, but are deferred from so doing by
the dangers which they apprehend in the under
taking"
There is no denying the fact that the grand
jury of Lancaster have refused to find bills of
indictment against the persons concerned in the
disturbance, and the true conclusion to be drawn
from it is that the fugitive slave law is 80 odiuos
in Pennsylvania that it cannot be executed The
Union itself virtually admits this, for it goes on
to say:
at is certain that the law of the United
States has been set at defiance and defeated by
armed force, causing the violent death of law
abiding citizen, and that the perpetrators of the
Outrage yet 60 unwhipped of public justice.
| The people of those States who are interested
in the faithful execution of the fugitive law ex-
pect, and have right to expect, something bet
ter than this-and especially from the noble
St>te ofPennsyvania."
Betwixt the Union and its correspondent, a
vfy bad case is made out for tho law. 1t is
not only not executed, but the attempt to exc
cute it is resisted by violence and bloodshed ;
those who resist it escape punishment, and the
owners of fugitive slaves in Virginia are so
alarmed at the danger of attempting to take
advantage of the law, that they do not venture
upon the experiment.
We have no apology to make for those who
resist the law by force but we must say to those
who now make this complaint, that it was con.
sequence of which they were fully warned be
fore the law was passed 1t is literal fulfil.
ment of the predictions of those who opposed
the law. We fully agree with the Union, that
these are most lamentable results--the law set
at naught, peaceful community disturbed by
conflict Of armed men, and human life taken.
These are the signs of acquescence in the com
promise, of which SO much has been said. There
is no acquiescence anywhere in the provisions
of the fugitive slave law. The only acquiescence
of which we see any proof, is that OF which the
Virginia correspondent Of the Union speaks;
the acquiescence Of the planters in the neglect
to execute the law.

sY' The Herald throws out the following
speculations relative to Abolition tactics


THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES IN THE FIELD
While the various cliques of the Wings and
Democrats are engaged in log rolling and wire
working, to secure for their favorite candidates
the inside track for the Presidency the Adolf.
ton Free-soi party is again organizing, to cut
up their arrangements and their calculations !:
root and branch, just as they did in 1914 and
l84S. The Free-soilers Of Ohio held their State
convention on the 18th Instant at Columbus
and their proceedings may be regarded as the
beginning of very formidable movement upon
the Presidential question They have not only
adopted the most ultra resolutions on the
slavery question, but they endorse, to the full
est extent, the doctrine of active armed interven
ton against the spread of dcspotism in Europe
They are Kinkel and Kossuth to the backbone
--anti-slavery, intervention, script and ALL
They have named John p Hale for the Presi.
dency; Samuel Lewis, of Ohio, for the Vice
Presidency and have appointed their delegates
Mt large to the Free-so national convention, to
be held at Pittsburg in June. They have also
appointed speakers to stump the State, in order
to get up the agitation to the boiling point in
tho meantime. In word, they are in for
another Buffalo demonstration.
Now, we apprehend that this Freeso Marty
of the North hold the undisputed balance Of
power between the two great parties, and the
election of a President, in their hands-that is
they can defeat either the Wing or the Demo.
cratic candidate, MS they may choose, Just as
they defeated Clay in 1874, and Cass in ls4s
If the Ohio movement is followed up in the
North and West, to any considerable extent
and carried up to the November election, ms il
probably will be, then the game for the spoils
between the Wings and the Democrats, will be
come one of the richest, funniest, and hottest
battles that has ever taken place in the civilized
world. Let both parties keep well to the wind
ward, and look out for squalls.
