IHE LOUISIANA LEGISLATURE AND CUBA-The
following resolutions were adopted by both
houses of the Legislature on the last day of the
session, with but three dissenting votes
BE At Resofued, That we view with alarm
the recent and avowed change that has taken
place In the policy of the Spanish Government
in Cuba, the manifest tendency and result of
which must be the abolition of slavery and the
destruction of the white race in that country
Resofoed, That we believe such an event will
have most pernicious effect upon the same
institution and interests in these States; that
it will destroy the social and political existence
of that island that it will materially affect
the natural law of American progress, by pre-
cluding forever the admission of Cuba into this
Union; that it will create in our immediate
vicinity, and almost within sight of our own
shores. a government administered by an in
terlor and barbarous African race, under the
Immediate influence of European interests and
ideas, and adverse to the pure American infiu-
ence which should predominant on this contin-
ent and its adjacent islands; that it will
menace the security of the outlets of all our
Southern and South western rivers, and har-
bors of the Gulf of Mexico, of the American
Mediterranean, of the new and great highways
of commerce through those seas and across the
lsthmus of America and that it will mate
rally endanger the intercourse between our
Atlantic and Pacific States
Resoiped, That we approve of the sentiments
expressed in the inaugural message of General
Pierce, relative to the extension of our limits
and the prevention of the esta blisbment of pre-
judicial influences around our Southern border,
and of those laid down by his Excellenoy
Governor Hebert in his late annual message.
Resoiued, That we deem the time has ar
rived when the American people and the Fede-
raj Government should take great and active
interest in the proceedings of Spain and other
European powers in Cuba, in order to prevent
the establishment of measures and institutions
preindieial to our own safety and Welfare

SHOCKING ArFAR.-John S. Millhone, in
Ritchie county, Va, was killed by his father
in-law, Richard Ankrum. Millhone's wife had
left his house with her family in consequence Of
finding some letters, addressed TO her husband,
from woman residing in one of the Eastern
cities, whom it appears in his visits to the city
to buy goods, he had courted and promised to
marry. On the evening of his death, he went
to the house of Mr.. Ankrum. and while there
quarreled with his vile and struck her to the
floor with his fist. Mr.. Ankrum interfered, and
several blows were interchanged, which ended
in Mr.. Ankrum stabbing Millhone to the heart.

in the Buffalo stampede, with their followers
in this State, are marshalling in opposition to
the application Of the compromise principle
(the principle that the people have the right to
manage their own affairs) in the Nebraska bill.
They will of course have the aid of Giddings,
Gerrit Smith, and Fred. Douglas.
The proceedings in the Senate on Tuesday,
received since the above was written, show that
Mr.. Douglas, from the Committee on Terrific
ries, after more full deliberation on the subject
introduced new bill, modifying somewhat the
boundaries mentioned in the former bill, and
providing for the organization of two terrific
ries, Nebraska and Kansas. The bill contains
the same provisions in reference to the compro-
mise measures of 1850, and expressly declares
that the Missouri compromise shall be inope-
ratiye."

FROM MEXICO.

We have received numbers of El Universal
the semi-oficial newspaper published at the
city of Mexico, of dates as late as the Sd instant
They contain no news of striking interest
The Unicersal refers to the negotiations Of
the treaty which has since been agreed upon be.
tween Santa Anna and the American minister
at that capital, and Indignantly denies reports
that certain individual there was to receive
two millions of the amount to be obtained
from the United States, and another consid
cradle amount. In subsequent article il
speaks approvingly of the treaty, saying that
they yield the Mesilla valley, small patch Of
good-for-nothing land, in exchange for large
amount Of ready money, which will enable the
government to wage an active war against the
savages who infest the northern States of the
republic, besides healing the difficulties with
the Garay grantees in regard to opening the
isthmus of Tehuantepec, and taking away all
motive for war with the United States. Re-
ferring to the invasion of Lower California, the
Universal says that, though the American gov
ernment persists in not hindering such expedi-
tons, the Mexican government has shown it.
self strong enough to repress every species Of
usurpation of its territory.
The Universal publishes Colonel Espinosa's
official report, dated December Is, Of the events
which had taken place in Lower California, re-
lating the same facts, but of course with diff
ferent coloring from that in the account by the
fiiibusters.
Numerous congratulatory addresses were
pouring in upon Santa Anna, felicitating him
on his recent assumption of dictatorial power
among which were those of the diplomatic body
on new years day, and that Of the jesuit So
ciety.
Monsignor Jose Irizarr, apostolic notary
and domestic prelate Of his holiness the Pope
had been appointed honorary chaplain to the
President of the republic.
Robberies were frequent in the Mexican
capital.

SLAVERY AGITATION.


The Petersburg lVirginia) South Side Demo
eraf says: "The slavery patient, patched up and
plastered into temporary ease by the doctors
OF 1850, within few weeks past has expe-
rienced a relapse, and is now in condition
more critical than ever.
1t should not be disguised from the south
that the whole question of slavery has been
reopened by northern fanaticism, and that the
agitation is spreading in all directions with
alarming rapidity. Discord, excitement and
fierce strife now preside where six months ago
reigned apparent peace, quiet, and fidelity to
the Constitution. Who could have dreamed,
eighteen months since, that we should have
such phenomena as is now presented; who
could have supposed that the truce of 1850
would so soon be proclaimed meaningless and
hollow, and that too, by the section that se-
cured from it what the south lost-almost every-
MingP
The press of the north, with noble excep-
tions, are fast wheeling into the abolition pha-
lanx. The Albany atlas, the organ of the
'soft-shelr party, in New York, has formally
entered its protest against any attempt to dis
turb the Missouri compromise. The Erening
Post holds to the same faith, only is more
bitter in its assaults upon the stakeholder.
The New York Times, which for the last six
months has been endeavoring to maintain q
conservative position, goes over to the aboli-
tionists, body and soul. The Tribune, of course,
is with them. The Express, Commercial, and
Mirror, organs of the Fillmore wing Of the
wing party, spit upon the bill of Judge Doug
los with the venom and malice of wounded
serpents. In short, we may say, but two pro-
minent papers in New York city, the Herald
and National Democrat, sustain the constitu-
tional rights of the South So rolls the tide.
" A fair opportunity is now presented to the
softshell wing of the democratic party of
New York to redeem the pledges they so freely
made on paper. They signed the bond, and
the President generously took them to his con-
fidence. VIII they break their bargain and re-
pudiate their obligation, or will they come up
like men and toe the mark? Will they cover
the administration with confusion, embarrass.
ment, and chagrin; or vindicate their claims to
its confidence, bestowed at the expense of some
of its truest friends
"The hards stand firm as adamant The
struggle to them is no new one. They have
breasted the surges and waves of sectional agi-
tation before. They need make no pledges
When asked for professions, they can show their
scars, which will be found, like those Of Den
tatus Of old, all in front. There will be no oc-
casion for asking where is Dickinson, Bron-
son, O'Connor, and Cuttingp When the time
for action comes, they will be found at their
posts.
i" The doubt is only with the wing of the
democratic party who we're formerly freesoilers,
but who came back again into the democratic
fold and rendered fealty to the Baltimore plat
form. If they will stand by their pledges made
then, and often repeated since, the storm will
be allayed, and the integrity of the country pre-
served. If they should prove recreant traitors,
we will not predict the ISSUE"

may stand together on this platform. The lion
and the lamb may lie down together. But how
different the motives Of thstwo classes! The
patriot win look to the good of his country,
the mercenary politician 10 the good Of himself
For the peace and harmony Of the country,
for the sake of the Constitution, from q regard
for the people Of the territory whose rights
should be respected, and for the sake of the
great democratic party, we sincerely hope that
success will attend the patriotic effort now be-
ing made to settle on firm, enduring, and
constitutional basis the exciting question Of
slavery. .
Washington sentinel., 1854-01-29
REPEAL OF THE MISSOURI COM
PROMISE.

The Binghampton Democrat, paper pub.
lished in the immediate neighborhood of Gov
ernor Dickinson, and which enjoys his peculiar
confidence comes out distinctly and unequivocal-
ly in favor of repeating all the anti.slavery re-
strictions of the Missouri compromise, so far as
the territory Of Nebraska is concerned, and Of
leaving it to the people Of that territory to admit
or exclude slavery, as they deem fit, when they
come to form State constitution. After stat
ing the provisions of Judge Douglass bill, it
thus expresses itself:
" 1t will thus be seen that the bill places the
slavery question, which will undoubtedly enter
largely into consideration in the organization
of the new territory, on strict, constitutional,
democratic ground; recognising the right of
the people of the embryo State to fashion and
regulate their internal institutions according to
their own judgment; and in effect denies the
right Of Congress- under the Constitution, to
interfere with the question. This is in accord
ance with the principles Of the compromise
measures of 1850, which, after struggle which
enlisted the patriotism of the country in their
support, and combined the antipodes of dis.
union in opposition, was adopted by Congress,
after a struggle memorable in our annals, and
approred and ratified by the potent voice ofth
American people in the election Of Gen.
Pierceto the Presidency, uponthe patform Of the
democractic national convention at Baltimore.
It will apply the test, and show who stands by
the compromise as settled constitutional
principle, and who would juggle with it as a
matter of party fnesse and policy.
"The great majority of those who in ls4s
favored the doctrine Of the Wilmot proviso be-
came convinced of the justice, propriety, and
constitutional right of the compromise mea-
sures, and they will stand with the national
democracy upon them on principle; while the
leaders in the Van Buren movement to aboli-
tionize the democratic party, with the few
trading spoilsmen, appropriately known as
"softs," who have attempted to conceal their
true position, to construe the emphatic decla-
ration of approval adopted at Baltimore into
mere temporary "acquiescencer as matter Of
"policy," having no lofter motive than the cor.
rupt inducements Of ''the spos," must also
take their ground. The democratic party of
the country will soon see how much the ad-
mnistration has gained for it by pensioning
its enemies and opponents. Already the Al
bany alias, special organ Of the administra-
tlon, and the New York Ereing Post, leaders

ADDRESSED TO ONE WHO WILL UNDERSTAND THEM
Go, false one, go! must not look again,
Entranced and dreaming in those witching eyes
Or take thy hand al trembling in mine own,
Once more TO learn how soon affection dies;
Nor will now upbraid thee for the wrong
The deeper wrong-which thou hast done TO me
How, with the magic Of syren's song,
Thou taught'st my soul to worship only thee,
And dthen with mocking scorn and cold unfeeling ART
Sped forth the arrow to my trusting heart!
As thou hast done, so, lady, will leave
Thy bosom to ITS conscience; if, indeed
The frozen thing which there has found a place
Has aught of feeling for the hearts that bleed;
And should ah! should, in after years, the blight
Which thou hast brought to others come to thee,
Thou'lt know, perchance, the misery of the blow
Thy hand has dealt without cause to me.
Then fare-thee-well, and, with my harp's last lay,
Thy name is hushed, and love has passd away!
Go, false one, go! the time may come when we
Shall stand once more together, side by side,
When on that brow the silent seal ofwo
Shall fail, alas, thy aching heart TO hide.
Oh! in that hour when friends may be eslranged,
And hopes shall flicker like waning light.
And smiles shall greet thee, not the smiles Of DID,
But cold and cheerless as winters night
Thoult turn from all whichthen may meet thy gaze,
To mourn, like me, "the light of other daysm
And now, before we part fair lady, hear me swear
That have knelt me down before thy radiant
shrine,
As If il were the altar of all earthly joys,
And breathed thy name, as ifi were divine.
No thought ofthee has ever pass'd my soul .
Which to an angels cheek blush could bring
And mirrord in this purest fountains ofmy heart
Thine image was, as in a crystal spring;
But now know not what is there, unless il be-
No. not a curse, bit still a PRAYER for thee!
