Tho Constitution warns us that we will
hear "but little more, within the ranks OF
the Democratic party, of antagonistic or
unfriendly legislation in tho territories against
slavery" Its theory is that tho people of the
territories have no control whatever over that
institution. A dozen men may establish
slavery, in defiance of the wishes of eighty
thousand freemcn. The latter cannot abolish
it. If they fail to protect it, and decree of
the Supreme Court recognizes right to hold
slaves in the territories, Congress is to be
invoked, and the whole power of the Federal
Government set in motion to protect the rights
Of Shareholders. This theory dedicates all the
American territories to slavery, and enlists all
tho Federal powers for its protection within
their limits, against the will of the inhabitants
who are to reside in them. It destroys every
vestige of Popular Sovereignty. It brands
the language of the Kansas Nebraska bill with
falsehood. It converts the National Govern
ment into an active agent Of slavery propa-
gandisrn. Itplaces slave property on higher
basis than any other species of property. If
insisted upon, it will precipitate the inevitable
division of tho Union into two sectional par
ties, and forever destroy the national organ
ization of the Democratic party. No Northern
State will support it, and no Northern Senator
or member of Congress, with tho consent of
his constituents, can vote for it.


The Democracy of the North have struggled
long and manfully for the preservation of the
constitutional rights Of the South, and are
willing to do so still. But, like the prisoner
in the iron coll, who saw its limits gradually
circumscribins round him, one demand has
followed upon another, until now that Con-
gressional protection for slavery is presented
as test for political orthodoxy, as a dogma
which must be advocated under penalty of
accommodation. Self-preservation compels
them to repudiate in terms which none can
misunderstood.

"PopULAR SOVEREIGNTY" OFFICIALLY AND
ExpHArIcALLY REPuD1ArED.-The Washing
ton Constitution, the official organ of Mr..
Buchanan, and consequently the mouth-piece
of the "Nationaf Democracy" gives new
definition of the famous term popular Sow
ereignty," with reference to slavery in the
Territories. 1t has the merit Of being far
more lucid than such oracles are apt to be.
1t denies emphatically that Popular Sover-
eighty is Squatter Sovereignty, or anywise
akin to it, and asserts that neither the Legis-
la:ure Of a Territory nor its people can in any
manner prohibit or preclude the existence Of
slarery in said Te,ritory. On the contrary,
they are bound to recognize and protect the
peculiar institution"-(peculiar no longer)-
until they shall have been admitted as State
into the Federal Union; and, should any
Territory prove recreant to this duty, the
Federal judiciary must overrule their action,
and sustain the alleged right Of any slave
holder to take his slaves into said Territory,
and hold them there in defiance of its people
and their Legislature. Such is the miserable
end of "the great Democratic right of self
government" which the Nebraska bill was
commendeda as embodying and securing. Are
the people of Iowa willing to endorse this
monstrous doctrine?

PENNSYLVANIA PoL1T1cs.-The State Gen.
trail Committee Of the State Rights Democracy
was in session at Altoona, Pa, on the 4th inst,
John W. Forncy, Chairman, for a full and
free interchange of sentiment. There was
much enthusiasm. 1t is the determination
to press forward the movement. They have
resolved that it is inexpedient to nominate a
State ticket. They proclaim unalterable
opposition to the doctrine Of Congressional
Intervention advocated by the Republicans
for the prohibition of slavery in the Terrific
ries, or as advocated by the Administration
Democrats for the protection of slavery, and
recommend the friends of popular sovereignty
to vote for no candidate at future elections
who refuses to stand clearly upon the doctrine
which recognizes the principle that the people
Of the Territories shall form and regulate their
own domestic institutions in their own way.
They also recommend to to the State Rights
Democracy to demand at all times the adoption
of the principles promulgated by the Harris
burg Convention which we're enumerated in
the Cincinnati platform and Mr.. Buchanan's s
letter of acceptance.

it was violated hy Mr.. Ernst when he came away,
the question will then arise whether the unlawful
ness of his emigration makes his act of naturaiza-
ton void as against the King of Hanover. | answer,
uncertainty not He is an American citizen by
our law. Ifhe violated the law of Hanover, which
forbade him to transfer his allegiance to US, then
the laws of the two countries are in conflict, and
the law of nations steps in to decide the question
upon principles and rules oft own. BY the public
law tf the world we have the undoubted right to
naturalize foreigner, whether his natural sover-
eign consented to his emigration or not. In my
opinion the Hanoverian government cannot justify
the arrest of Mr.. Ernst by showing that he emf
grated contrary to the laws of that country unless
it can also be proved that the original right of
expatriation depends on the consent of the natural
sovereign. This last proposition l am sure no man
can establish.

the map of Europe. Those who discuss the exist

Pope there would be reason to stop, and we
would be the masters to remodel the world accord

with such ncensed policy thatthe coalitions

The utilization of almost worthless substances
is one of the grand results of the inventions of the
present day. The man of true genius, comes, and,
seizing upon some isolated fact, elaborates in his
mind the principles of a wonderful machine and
after it has been wrought out in wood and iron. 50
as to perform the labor for which it was designed,
refuse substances are suddenly Transmitted into
almost inexhaustible treasures Of wealth.


While the labors of the northern inventor have
aimed to substitute machinery for men, those OF
the southern machinist add new values to the raw
products of its fields.


We doubt whether any invention promises
greater harvest to the country than that which
gives a commercial value to cotton seed


A few years since, cotton seed was almost entire
ly valuel.ss. Except when used fertilizer, it
was suffered to go to waste. Although known to
contain large proportion of oil, the difficulty OF
extracting it and preparing it for use prevented
any considerable results from the efforts made to
convert into product ofvalue.


machine has, however, lately been invented
which perfectly hulls the seed leaving the kernel
whole and enabling it to be exported without injury
from fermentation or other chemical changes
This has suddenly placed cotton seed among the
most valuable products of the cotton field, ard
added new and unexpected profits to cotton cul-
ture.


demand has sprung up in England France and
Belgium for hued cotton seed, which cannot with
present means be supplied. This article cnmmand7

readily as cotton itself In Europe il is used i'm he
manufacture of the finer oils, being more profitable
for this purpose than lard oil or the extract from
rape seed, or any other of the oi-bearing pro-
duets.


new field of enterprise and profit is thus open
pened to the cotton planters who have easy inter
course with our markets. Nor will it be long be-
fore the new machinery will be dOmesticated in
the interior of the country and the resources OF
the South will be again improved by this great
invention they We're by that more import

him tight and fast The boy screamed and
cried in great ngony,-the lady appeared

were brought and thrust between the bars
but still the child's foot was in bondage-
Calm and cool the lady worked on. encourag-

saw was at last brought which soon severed
the bar and the boys foot was within control
of his own muscles. Then, and not till then,
did Iealize the intense agony which the
lady and the supposed mother of the child
must have been in. The moment that she
saw that the boys foot was released and his
leg not broken, she tainted away, and was
taken into Ailments store. where some ladies

Away off among the constellations,-in
that region of the universe where are placed
those innumerable suns which we call fixed
stars, at distance from the earth which is
utterly impossible to convey any idea Of
there is another globe like this one we in
habit; and if the optical and astronomical
calculations of men eminent for their learn
ing be correct, the sun which lights and
warns that globe, (or it has particular sun
of its own,) gives days Of different colors.
There are green days, red days, blue days, ye-
low days, ponding with Sir Isaac
Newton's seven prismatic colors. Now, all
objects visible on these days will, of course
vary, according to the particular color. The
yellow day. from our experience of this color
must be the most dreary and the most mis-
cradle; for though yellow is all very well in
its way, mixed up with other colors, help
ing. like the thunder cloud, to enhance the
beauties of the distant sky, yet, when every
thing is yellow, then we discover its peculiar
effect upon our visual organs. A simple
and inexpensive experiment may easily be
made, completely to exhibit the curious ef-
fects of the yellow rays of light 1t is a
common experiment in the chemical classes
of schools. A little spirits of wine, or alco-
hol, poured on a teaspoonfu of common salt
in vial, well shaken, and wet with it eth
er amp-wck or tow, and ignited, will burn
with peculiar colored flame, giving out
purely yellow rays This mysterious effect
changes the appearance of all earthly OBJ
jects Coral lips become Of a livid hue;
rosy cheeks turn CHASTITY pale; red cap rib
bons become black; in fact everything ap-
pears different to what it does by the white
light we are familiar with; and of all things
the human face undergoes the greatest and
most singular change. Very young chill
dren should not be shown this experiment;
for though there will be laughing lips and
dazzling eyes, yet they are Of such an unearth-
ly color and fearful hue, that old friends with
new faces, and a child would scarcely know
its mamma.

The following items of advice to ladies
remaining in single bessedness are extracted
from the manuscript of an old dowager:
If you have blue eyes, languish.


If black, affect spirit.


If you have pretty feet, wear quite short
pettcoats.


If you are the least doubtful as to the
point wear them long.


If you have good teeth, don't forget to
laugh now and then.
If you have bad ones only simper.


While you are young, sit with your face
to the light.


When you are little advanced, sit with
your back towards the window.


Ii you have bad voice, only speak in a
low tone.


If it is acknowledged that you have a
fine voice, always speak in loud tone.
If you dance well, dance seldom.


If you dance i'll, never dance.


If you will sing we'll, make no puerilo ex-
cuses
