"BENEF1r THE SOUTH" Several Southern papers,
while they rejoice at the passage of the Nebraska
Bill say that they do not that it will be of any
benefit to the South. We hope southern patriots have
higher aims and nobler motives than the mere mat
ter of gain or benefit in the vindication of the Con-
stitution We willing to submit and suffer, if
need be- by the operations of the Constitution in
its integrity-while we will not allow ourselves to
gain or lose by its violation. This is not mere
money matter, nor question of encroachments on
the rights of others, but the vndication of own
which have been trihed with by those who heap
upon us the most shameful personal abuse. They
may scold and INSULT us much they please in
their wordy clamor, but they shall not compromise
our rights under the Constitution and put us in the
position of asking political favor, in place of the
rights and benefits bequeathed to by our fathers.
In regard to :. benefit to the South'-we presume
politicians see prospect of the election of par
tieu'ar candidate or the defeat of another by the
measure. We suppose not But the passage of
this bill, with the execution of the Fugitive Slave
Law in the free States, will be of more benefit to
the South, than any or all the acts of Congress
passed since We were independent nation

The STATE OF OREGON" It seems that anoth-

gon, SO recently terra incognita, having advanced
during the last few years with rapidity equaled
only by the magic growth of California, has become
impatient Of the condition of territorial pupiage and

few months for the robe of State sovereignty-the
badge of equality with the rest of the mighty sister,
hood. The bill lately introduced by General Lane,
the able and distinguished delegate from that Terri
tory though it does not propose admission into the
Union. is an important preliminary to that event.
The people of Oregon have already voted on the
question Of forming State government, and we ex-

majority have decided in favor Of the proposed
change. The people Of the Territory are under

NUT FOR THE ABoL1rJoS1sTs. The steamship
Pampero, on her last trip from San Juan, brought
up twelve or fifteen slaves, who, together with their
MASTER their return from California to Geor-
gia. These slaves taken out to California by
their masters in the spring of 1850, and as soon as
practicable after their arrival in San Francisco start
ed for the gold mines where they have ever since
labored faithfully, the proceeds of their labor
dering their owner wealthy When they returned
to San Francisco the addressed them, and in
formed them that they Free and offered to rig
them out in fine STYLE and give each of them
sufficient sum of money to enable him to start fair
in the world for himself Without single exception
they refused; They had all been looking forward
with great glee to return to the old plantation
and the " old folks at home" and so back they all
came and by this time, perhaps they astonish-
ing the young darkeys who have never left home
with the wondrous instances which befel them in
the land of gold, and gratifying them with the sight
OF the monkeys, paroquets, &C., which they picked
up on the isthmus of Nicaragua.
The above facts are gathered from gentlemen who
came through with the slaves and their owner and
who were perfectly cognizant of the matters stated
and we recommend this simple and truthful nara
tive to the consideration of the dupes of the CARR
sons, Greeleys Beechers and Stoves, Of the North.
As for the decevers themselves they have no wish
to hear the truth 1t would destroy their business
