South, in following the old example, cannot hd
anticipate anything different from the old erFd

Yet We have the requirement thrust upon one
attention az a demand Of the simplest and most
modest nature. Now we beg to observe that the
Southern end Of this Confederacy has been do''g
something Of vast consequence to it, interests ever
since il became part Of the Union. 1t d'd 'ome
thing vtaly affecting the whole public veal, ~nen
il took Texas and brought on The war with Mexico
in order to get territory which to spread Slavery
II did something of unusual significance when 1t
insisted upon throwing down every barrier TO the
spread of Slavery into all the Territories. tdia
something Of very especial moment when II un-
deriook to put down free labor by violence In Kan
sas. and substitute the seryile system. IL did
great deal when il brought over the law-makIng
the Executive, and the Judicial power, to the
side of the slayeholding party, and thus put the
whole gigantic weight Of the government oil the
Union on the side Of Slaveyi and it does great
deal in holding it there this day against the decided
convictions of large, and Indeed an overwhelming
majority of the people of the country.
When, under these circumstances, we are blandly
informed that all that the South asks is ito
"be let alone" and are assured that Of all modest
and natural requests, this must be admitted to be
the most modest and most natural, we claim the
right Of investigating what that demand means
We think We have conclusively shown that II means
that the South shall be allowed to do just what II
likes in tie Government and with the Government.
We appreciate the mOdesty Of the demand, but
we really fail to see any conclusive reason Tor ac-
ouiescence We claim the right ofthe North to share
in the admipi.t ation of this Government IN relation
TO every subject that comes within the scope of the
Federal Constitutions; and the subject OF Slavery
in the Territories and the slave trade, we claim to
be among them-aDd for the best OF reasons, to
witt that the Federal Government has acted upon
them from the time of its formation until now, with
the sanction and approval Of all the most lusirious
names interviewer in its history.

m.rR.ACE AND DIVORCE.

We PRINT in another place a second letter from
Mr. Wm.' T. Claiming On the important subject of
Marriage ard Divorce. Believing bis dOetriIes to
be prominently sOphistiea, dangerous, detestabe,
we urge every resder 90 give them very searching
scrutiny. Ii it were only William f. Claiming
whO argued in this way it were perhaps better to
suppress what he urges and leave the matter out of
sights but the views put forth by Mr.. C.. are held
and acted on by large and Increasing numbers who
find OF fancy them convenient, and think them well
grounded because they have been often set forth as
conclusive, and seldom noEced by those who abhOr
them.
Let US state the facts in lr ChanEing's case, as
we understand them, in order to elueidate the
point in controversy.

An irsurreciion OF slaves s reported in Bolivar,
4 town of some 500 inhabitants, in Polk County,
Missouri. This county is about $50 miles south
west Of Jefferson City, the capital of the State.
In 1850 the whole population of the county was
g. lsG, of whom only 500 were slaves. The circum-
stances ofbe present difficulty not very clearly
stated, aud it is not easy to decide whether the
whites acted from real cause, or from panic. 1t is
said that 4 gang of negroes attacked few white
men in the public square, but that the latter were
soon reinforced, and drove the negroes cut into
the woods. The negroes threatened to burn the
town, but, says the dispatch, vigilant watch was
kept, and all their attempts failed. Several blacks
were arrested and imprisoned, and some were
severely punished; Vigilance Committee was
formed; everybody armed himself; and finally the
excitement was subsidiDg 1t does not appear
that any white man was injured; and, indeed, the
whole affair wears the aspect of exsggeration and
groundless alarm. But, whatever it may have
been il was apparently movement Of the negroes
alone, without the promptings or the aid OF any

An extensive fire occurred in the lower part Of
the city yesterday, involving TIE destruction of
fifteen buildings and loss Of half million of
dollars. 1t is alleged that the steam fce-engines
were greatly impedel by the hand 6reme1, who
would not, for some time, allow them to take
water and that but for this interference the fire
might have been cOBfHed within narrower hlnits.
We hope that this charge viii be investigated, aud
measures taken to prevent the recurrence Of such
conduct in future. As it was, the conhagration
must have been far more disastrous witbout the
stesm machines since most of the hand engines
were ultimately frozen up.

1t is remarkable how much the Disunon "
mocracy have cooled down their ardor since
call for the National Republican Convention W
issued. That call gave plain warning to the ID
uDionists that after the approaching election Oh
Republican President, their reasonable conspino
would be dealt with as ii deserves; and the c,ut
qussce is that since then il has been kep. vi
quiet. So far as Ee remember, no Democnt
member of Congress has threSseefd the dastuess
Of the Union either ON or before the ia Of Asss3
1851; while Gov. Vice spa vieo-frvridout Breed
tDridge, both under stress of weather I
Presidential candidates, have taken the hia
and have loudly protested that they 4
Union men. This, however, does mt amount I
much The Democratic party is thoroughly 81
upt and faithless with regard to the Union. IL
he late Mr.. Calhoun, whose doctrines and pOlcyi
has adopted, it holds the Constitution as inferior
importance to Slavery. Rather than that sla'd
hould be restricted to IFS present limits the DEM
Gratis would let the Union slide. 1t is time this cpl
aud this party were put down, and that the u 4
ernment were committed to men who will maints6
the Union at all hazards and under all circu4
stances. And if the mere call of National y
publican Convention has proved SO useful Z
reducing the fever of the Democratic DisunOns4
there can he no doubt that the election of Repal
lican President would work an eficacious aud n
manent cure, which would remove all taint Of
Disunion malady forever.

evening, resolution was offered rebuking the SEN

After The various fllbustering efforts of the last
ten dsys, the Disunionist Democracy in the House
of Representatives yesterday concentrated their
strength on Mr.. Scott OF California, to whom they
gave e3 votes, and who is about as fit to be
Speaker as he is to be parson. There s, however,
no possibility Of eecting him, or any one else on
that side 1t is now papable that thereis no alter
native between preventing the organ zation Of Con-
gress altogether and allowing Dir. Sherman to be
elected The DisunODists evidently mean that no
organization shal take place. The Hon. Roger A.
Pryor substantially avowed as much in his speech
yesterday. They seem TO think that thus nufyiDg
Congress now will prove quite as efkcaciOus, and
much safer, than breaking up the Union by revOlu-
ton next year, as they have declared their purpose
TO do. All that we ask is, that the country should
note and understand their acts. Meanwhile would
it not be as well for the disconnected Members
who do not mean to be parties to the DisuniOn
conspiracy, to take an open position against it by
voting for Mr.. Sherman.

The speech which Mr. Morris Of Ill. concluded 10
the House yesterday exhibited refreshing contrast
to the seryile haraDgues Of his Democratic col
leagues. 1t had the true antiLecompton ring IN IT.
He denounced the President and the ultra Southern
Democrats without stint, charging them with haS-
ing torn the Popular Sovereignty plank from the
national platform of the party, and inserted the
Dred Scott dogma in its stead. Tie told the hre-
eaters to their teeth that the Western Democracy
would not submit TO new tests at Charleston. He
scourged the venerable occupant Of the White
House most numerically accusing hin ofpursuing
those Democrats in Illinois who would not bow to
his behests, with "hellish malgnity." Next to
Col. Harris, low dead Mr. Morris was the abest,
bOdest, and truest of the anti Lecompton Demo
Gratis Of Illinois in the last House Harris, in the
midst of the great fight two years ago gave his Le-
compton brethren distinctly to understand that he
had parted company with them forever. Morris
seems to have no disposition to abandon his princi-
pies for the sake Of pleasing them.

Nothing inimical 10 the Briiish Goverumebt wss
intended by such a movement, and the Jealousy Of
Governor Douglas was needlessly excited No eel
lision with the British troops subjects is aPpr
hendsd by the Government. The President was
Secretary Of the State when the boundary treaty
was negotiated under President Polk, and Is per-
fecty familiar with all the circumstances attending
it. He and Robert J. Walker we're the only mem-
beIs Of Mr.. Polk's cabinet who opposed the 49th
parallel as the Boundary They adhered 10 81 deg
and 40 min. our just limits. No doubt is enter
tanned that the title to San Juan will be sneably
adjusted as the President must be perfectly aware
OF our rights, and will ask fo- nothing more. The
long connection Of Gov. Douglas with the Hudson 3
Bay Company, doubtless causes bin to view Ill the
country in that vicinity as under the jurisdiction
and protection Of tue British Government at least
if not actually the property Of The Company, sBd
his interests may have rendered him exeiisble IN

in session to-day on the whole subject, and the teaor
Of the instructions 10 General Harnsy as slated

The Tfmrs' Washington dispatch says much an
noyance is felt here both by the English legation
and The Secretary of Stale at the recent news from
San Juan, the relations Of the two governments
having lately bte5ms most cordial AMI friendly. Il
is hoped the good sense Of both powers may prevent
any serious mischief in the premises.
Il is understood that Mr.. Wyke, the new British
Minister, takes out TO Central America positive in
slruciOns TO propose treaty, which, if the Central
Americans refuse tc sec,p, they will be held re-
sponsible by all the word fJr prOlOnging the u1-
