the Kansas and Nebraska bill declares opposition
10 the admission of another SaUe state into the Unton"
and recommends all wings to abstain from distinct
nominations" and develop the free spirit of the

buried in the bosom of abolitionism When men

Know-NothrngC Council In Richmond.

1t is not generally known, suspect, that State
Council of the Know-Nothing Order, is to be held in
this city to-day. In spite of the severe secrecy of
their movements this fact has transpired and with
it comes the additional intelligence that Reverend
Mr. Evans is present representative of the " Grand
National Council of Thirteen" of which Barker of
New York is President This emissary brings along
a redundant supply of the venom of intolerance,
wherewith to inocuate the brethren in this region,
and to corrupt the native generosity of the Virginia
character He imports also copious supply of pass
ords and other cabalstic signs, and is in every way
equipped for the work of drill sergeant and heophant
is it not shame that such creatures should come
here, and, under cover of darkness deposit the poi
son of intolerance and prescription the soil which
Jefferson has consecrated to civil liberty and to free
dom of conscience The movements of the Order
are directed and controlled by cabal in New York,
and thus should Know-N ohingism triumph in this
State, the Government of Virginia will be the crea
ture of the q Council of Thirteen" Esteemng them
themselves competent to the management OF their
own affairs, Vrginians have been proverbally Jeal-
Gus of foreign influence nor will they now submit to
the usurpation of this conclave of New York Know
Nothings The sentiment of State-sovereignty and
the pride of personal independence are equally out
ragged by the attempt thus to subJugate US.

The Shipping Interests.

The great avenues OF employment for vessels are
now closed, and there is nothing left for large ships
but Southern freighting. Vessels are now leaving
New Orleans, Mobile, &C., and the prospects are that
freights will rule at low rate the comming
We predict that quarter, three-eg hths and
half penny will be taken in many instances These
rates will not pay, when take into view the great
ly increased cost of sailing ships, and the enormous
expenses at New Orleans. The Guano business is
about over, and the California and Australia trade
very dull Since the lst of January, onT one third
many vessels as last year have sailed for those
places from New York and Boston. Even this year
probably one-half or one-third of the number gone
would have been sufficient to carry all the goods
needed. Forty -four have sailed from this port, when
there should not have been more than ten twelve,
the whole season, to have had the shippers of goods
realized any profit California does not require
any thing from exdept dry goods, domestic man
ufactures, groceries, hardware, Sc, and veIy few
ships will carry whole years supply of these arti
Giles.
The large fleet of ships building in Maine the past
summer are now daily being launched, and in some
cases-where the builders not able to hold them
will have to be sold at whatever they will bring.
From present appearances the depreciation will be
very great, and it is to be feared will produce de-
cded reaction in the business of sister State
But the evil will cure itself if there not ships
for business people will stop building another year.
and this will give chance for vessels to become
scarce, and to Re in demand again.-Boston IrGU.

slavery in Ca1ifnrn,a

Happily the result OF the recent elections is not
altogether disastrous to the South. Even from the
gloom of defeat in the North comes a raw of hone
that the insolent triumph of the aboli,ionsts NAV
stimulate the zeal of the apathetic and rouse the re-
sentiment of the submissive, that men of all nares
and of every disposition in the South, NAV perceive
the necessity of united and energetic action in de-
fence of their rights
Besides this general effect there is significance in
the result of the California elections which the South
observes with satisfaction, and with a pressage of
good fortune In addition to the ordinary political
issues, parties in California are distinguished bv d.
verse and conflicting views OF slavery. The Demo-
cratic party is split into two factions one of which
processes the fashionable free soil notions of slavery
and of its evil influence the welfare of society
while the other understands its true nature and pro
poses TO introduce and establish in The State The
forces of the first led by Broderic and are mainly
recruited by emgrants from the New England States
The other party is composed chiefly of Southern gen.
tlemen, and whilst ordinarily distinguished by its at.
tachment 10 the fortunes of Senator Gwin is really
| controlled by such as Hamilton, Peachy Inge
The struggle between these parties has been fierce and
arduous, and it long doubtful for whom victory
would pronounce. But the vulgar energy of bru-
tai rowdYism unequal to the contest with talent
and character, and witness, at last the complete
triumph of the ''chivary." The candidates of the
Gwin Democracy are elected by decisive majority
over both the Broderic men and the Wings.
The unseen but active issue between these factions
49, whether the Southern portion of California shall
be organised into separate State with constitution
recognising and establishing slavery. The recent
success of the Gwin party promises satisfactory so
luton of this problem And thus may the military
violence by which California devoted to freesoi
be avenged and the South be yet restored to an equa
participation in the wealth of that splendid empire
| The Nebraska principle of popular sovereignty anC
non-lnterventiOn smooths the way for the establish
ment of slave State in Southern California Fo
If the peopls of California choose to divide thei
domain and to set up another State with Southern
institutions, of course Congress will presume
interpose any objection. The Nebraska bill forbids
Congressional interference, and leaves it 10 the peopl
OF State territory to determine their nstitu
tons" Southern California is peculiarly propitiou
10 negro labor, and its inhabitants very anxious
that slavery should be introduced amongst them.
