p6S- The following sensible remarks
are from the States, democratic paper,
and we commend them to the serious con-
sideration Of every southern patriot
The positions so succinctly laid down, we
have frequently attempted to elucidate !;
but not being one Of the democracy, our
views, of course, had no weight with that
party. 1t is with pleasure, therefore, that
we are enabled TO quote from one of the
oracles of locofocoism, truths that an out
slider might urge in vain, to all eternity
Squatter sovereignty is poison to the South !;
and it is the imperative duty of every
southerner to oppose itwith all his might .
If Lecomptonism prevails, twenty States
could easily be made out of a population
which would not decently fill one State,
according to the ratio Of Congressional
representation. The area of Kansas alone
would make at least eight States, each as
large as New Hampshire, and if every four
or five hundred of population sent there
by emigrant aid societies, or any other
means, be entitled to form constitution
and become State, then what becomes of
the self-preservatiye doctrines of the
South They would be name, and moth
ing more. Like fables, they would be
pleasant to hear, but of no earthly APP
propriateness to the necessities Of the
present, or more properly, they would re-
semble the colossal marbles dug out of the
! nltIno 0f fha hat 4. =.
their grandeur; and wonder over the
evanishment of the race that were pro-
tected by such magnificent fabrics. Once
the rule established that States can come
in the above manner, how many could not
be almost improvised for the utter annihila-
ton of Southern doctrines? New Eng
land would supply the Northwest with
States by wholesale, even as she supplies
those Territories with peg-boots and
brogans. Every canting congregation OF
three or four hundred could move out
West, and actually carry the threats Of
the pulpit into veritable deeds Against
this mode the South must turn its face
1t must give decided blow to the des-
perate attemps of squatter sovereignty al
once.
If the South will recognize the right Of
Territory the moment it is organized
with five hundred, or a thousand, or five
thousand, or double that, to form con-
stitution without the consent of Congress
and thus rebel against and subvert the
Territorial legislation of Congress, then
the said South madly wooes destruction
All the Territories to be peopled are
Northern; all the emigration would be
Northern all these little Northern States,
with handfuls of squatter sovereigns, would
each have Senators in Congress, and thus
we would have three to one votes against
US. IF the South advocates Lecompton
ism and squatter sovereignty, it breaches
suicide. ehs

Legislature Of Texas has adjourned The
bill establishing. a State University on the

ties will be hailed as an omen Of better
times by all the lovers of art, literature,
and science. And il the great scheme OF
a free university BIO carried out in the
mode and spirit contemplated, it will be
but a few years ere Texas will be in this
regard, as we'll as in respect of area and
growth, the Empire State of the South
Thirty-six new counties were erected
chiefly along the head waters of the
Colorado and Brazos, and along the Bic
Wichita and Red rivers. These, in add.
ton to the one hundred and sixteen old
counties, make a sum total of one hundred
and fifty-two counties, being third more
in number than in any other State in the
Union.
Some idea of the growth of the State
may be formed from the report of the
Land Commissioner, where it appears that
during the last five years, no less than
$3.50, 900 acres, or more than 10000
square miles, Of the public domain have
been appropriated, by patent and other.

D0r We arc curious TO see what DISPOSE

rupt bill Il is said to meet the approba-
ton Of the Administration, and the public
may we'll be astonisbed 20 learn that law,
so bitterly denounced by the locofoco party
of the whole Union, when it was enacted
by Wing Congress, is proposed 70 be,
substantially, re-enacted, and finds favor
with locofoco Administration. The
question presents itself -why this change
of policy? The answer is at rand. The
objection to the Bankrupt law was not
based upon the merits Of the enactment,
but upon the single fac, that it was not
oflocofoco origin. Now, that sweet-smell-
ing party think they can claim the pattern
ity of a measure wise and necessary, at all
times, and We see them seriously contem-
plating its re- establishment and at the
suggestion of fshy wing, lately apostat-
lied from the little faith he ever had in
the doctrine that country is to be preferred
before party, We shall be pleased, how
ever, to see them do what is right, even

otic motive. r "a 0p

INTERESTING FROM CHINA.-The China
mail had reached England with Canton
dates to January IA.
The Cantonese submitted and evaucat.
ed the city on the Both December.
The Governor of Canton was taken
prisoner as we'll as Yeh and the Tartar
General. The Governor Pihquei was sub.
sequently installed as Vice Governor OF
the city, with powers similar to those WELD.
ed by Yeh. The allies were to continue
their proteotorate until satisfactory terms
were made by the Government of Pekin.
A committee, composed of two English
men and one Frenchman, had been charg-
ed with the supervision of the Government
and had issued proclamation inviting
the people to return, assuring them OF
their protection.
At the departure of the mail everything
was quiet, and there was fair prospect OF
the taking off Of the blockade, and of the
resumption of trade within week.
In the assault upon Canton there were
numerous hand-to- hand encounters. The
British lost 100, and the French 80, in
killed and wounded, A large amount OF
treasure was captured, but plumber was
forbidden.
At Hong Kong freights were dull and
easier, and the tonnage was increasing
At Shanghae large business had been
done, in tea, but salos were checked by
English advices. Freights were unaltered.

b6S- Senator Hunter, in his speech on
Kansas, prophecies that the Union will be
preserved that the time will come when
the judicial ermine will be respected and
spirit of cancellation and harmony will
pervade both sections. Whether that
happy day will ever come, depends upon
the action of the democratic party, and
how far they have given grounds for such
hope, may be read in the past. Control
ling the destiny of the Republic for the
last thirty years, one would suppose that,
if there be honesty in the party, and wis
dom in their measures, fulfilment rather
than prophecy of the "good time coming
would be appropriate to the day. But
during the whole period of democratic
supremacy, things have been tending from
bad to worse, and with no patriotism td
prompt, and no wisdom to shape the mea.
sures of that party, one of its leaders now
prophecies change for the better. What
is to bring about that change? 1t must
be something that will check the putrid
fermentation ofpublic morals, and impart
a healthy action. But what is that some
thing2 1t cannot be found in the con-
tinuance of democratic rule, because the
remedy is not contained in the cause of the
disease. Then, upon what events in the
unforeseen future, does the Senator found
his prophecy Does he hope it from the
rapid increase of the foreign population
which Senator Wade told him, is made up
of"the sweepings of the Old World, igno-
rant and vicious, but nevertheless good
democrats?' Does he hope it from squat
ter sovereignty and alien suffrage which
have already led to civil war in Kansas
and both of which infamous measures are
designed to crush the rights of the South
in the common territoriesP Or from the
doctrine that majorities can not bind them.
selves by Constitutional law? Or from
the endorsement, by the American Con
gress, of the infamous Kansas frauds
Most of these have been tried and found
wanting, and they make up the disease
with which the body polite is afflicted.
