JACKSON. Then the unrighteous protectionist tariff of the North, under which English manufacturers and Carolina consumers alike suffer, was the object of "nullification." Now resentment of the determination of the North to prevent the extension of Slavery, is the ground of open secession. Then a Federal ship of war in the port of Charleston soon compelled the Carolinians to accept, patiently, a substantial wrong at the hands of the manufacturing States. Now a double-tongued PRESIDENT'S message encourages the South to rebel in support of the iniquitous purpose of making the whole Union a thoroughly Slave Republic. The subject of the present quarrel should be clearly kept in mind. It is not that the Northern States wish to interfere with Slavery as an institution in any State which desires its continuance; it is not that a PRESIDENT has been elected by any 'unconstitutional tampering with the freedom of election; it is not that the new PRESIDENT is an abolitionist, whose personal opinions are in favour of the interference of Congress with the " domestic institution" in the Slave States themselves—it is simply that the North is hostile to the extension of Slave territory, and has elected a PRESIDENT, by a large majority, in accordance with its views. For nearly half a century the slaveholders have had it all their own way, they have gone on extending their demands, offering compromises, repealing again their part of the compromise, enacting laws which converted the Northern States into slave hunting grounds, proclaiming all the territories open to Slavery, electing Presidents, and nominating pro-slavery judges to the highest court of appeal in the United States—but at last they encounter one important defeat—a PRESIDENT is elecred whose distinznishing profession is hostility to the extension of slavery, end, in their wrath, a secession is commenced by South Carolina.  We pointed out a few days ago, that the secession movement in South Carolina is not prompted by zeal for slavery alone, The Carolinians desire to regain the commerce which they have lost to the Northern States, and to see Charleston the New York of the South. They also desire, with the planting States, the revival of the African slavetra,de; while Virginia and the slave-breeding States are of course opposed to a traffic Which would depreciate the value of their la uman chattels. The secession 4povenaent  IGNATIEFF assured the deputation, vr. as after this imperatively requisite ; intimating that, for his own part, he would alone consent to use his good offices with the chiefs of the adyncing expedition upon the consent of the Chinese to and very simple stipulation—namely,  the concession by the Chinese immediately, and unconditionally, of all the demands made by the Russian Govern= rnt ! is amusing to note how Russia has t hus contrived, withont firing a shot, without sent lin forth a solitary battalion, without expending Zone single rouble, how she has thus contrived to edge her way in between the late belligerents at Pekin, and thus to obtain the concession of all her d emands under the shadow of the terror of the Anolo-French expeditioß!  As if we were never to know the worst of game  preserving, we have at last a . renewal of the practice of seducing to crime, and then: taking the award of apprehension. It was bad enough, in all conscience, that the squirearchy around Derby should get their friends in the Corporation to bolt poachers for them at the cost of the borough ; but the case of Lord BATHURST'S game prosecution at the Cirencester Petty Sessions surpasses anything we have seen in the modern annals of crime. The nearest case of late is that of the murderer MIILLINS, who endeavoured to enrich himself by conv:;cting the innocent men
