o to order, and repaired
| short liotica. My dock ‘will bear inspi
id
a reasonable probability that the State
Constitution when formed, will exclude
slavery. In no point of view can tho
South bo honciittcd by congressional in
tervention.
In reply to tho foregoing we will give
tho language of Senator Fitch of Indi-
, which wo have quoted on two oc
casions beforo. Speaking of oxcluding
slavery from tho Territories by unfriend
ly Territorial legislation or non-action
in other words by tho nbsenco of pro
tection, by Congressional legislation, if
necessary, ho says, “Whether it he
Dukota of tho North, or Arizona of tho
South, tho bold adventurous frontiers
men of tho West, whose moveables in
clude no luxuries whose nccessmv
lily supplied by tho axo and
will go into tho Territory, possess thoni-
ives of its Legislature, and exclude
Southern property, while the owners
of that property aro packing up their
household goods and preparing
chattels for removal.”.
And U6 wo have intimated liofore, the
the vast surplus foreign population nt
the North, with their interests and pre
judices inimical to slavory willjoin these
men in their unconstitutional warfare
upon our rights. Wo believe that where
slave labor is lucrative thoro it will even
tually go, nud titoro than this, we be
lieve that when enough cotton growing
land is settled and cleared, impera
tively to demand moro labor than tho
Southern States can supply, that labor
will lie furnished by Africa: but if by
Popular Sovereignty tlio slaveholder
with his slaves bo excluded from the
Territories, whoro nature
tlio interests of the South and of tb<
world will be retarded indefinitely.—
For although in Arizona or any other
Territory iu the South, tho Southern
planter may be satisfied that bis slave
capital would yield him u remunerative
per cent, still if lie bus not that protec
tion iu the full enjoyment of the use of
bis capital, which tlio Constitution guar
antees to him ho will not “do so foolish
a thing as to carry his slaves there,”
r.-«j¥M*tfii11y invited to mill and us a matter of course lie will not go
il.mr nlmvn'McChuig's, and there himself. Then the Territory will
bo left entirely to tho control of aboli-
t'.onlst", wlm ns Honn ns their numbers
vill warrant it will adopt an anti-slavery
onstitution and be admitted as a sover-
lign State into the Union. They will
immediately send fresh recruits to the
traitorous host of llluck Republicans
now desecrating tho balls of Coitgross..
Their next step will bo to elect ail anti
slavery President, if they do not stie-
cooif next fall, and if this Union has a
protracted existence after that event,
it will either be that the Black Repub
licans Jarc not carry out their avowed
designs, or wo are most grossly and do-
plorubly mistaken in tho spirit of the
Southern people,
Tlio argument of the Washington
Constitution may have sotno force when
applied to “a Territory where there is a
reasonable probability that tho State
.’onstitution when formed will exclutlc
slavery,” but utterly devoidof itwlien ap
plied to a territory where there is a rea
sonable probability that tho State con-
stituton when formed will tolerate slavery,
if tho people who form that Constitu
tion are not interfered with in the exer
cise of their rights,and if they nro,rocoive
that protection which is tho primary
object of all froo governments.
It is for the reasons given that wo do
not fear the W11 mot Proviso so much
i wo do tho doctrino of Squatter Sov-
■cignty. They nro both alike uncon
stitutional, and if permitted to become
tho settled policy of tlio government,
equally destructive of our rights; but
one is remoto in its operation, the other
immediate. Congress cannot, for years
to come, enact a law prohibiting slavery
in the territories, but a Territorial Lcg-
islaturecan and will do so, as soon as
it is brought into existence by tlio or
ganic act.
We repeat wliat wo beforo said, that
where slave labor is profitable there it
will ultimately go, but if wo liavo to
eon tend with Squatter Sovereignty, or
tho Wilmot Proviso, tho Union will not
survive thostrugglo. In order to save
tlio Union, if such a thing bo possible f
Congress must not only refrain from
unconstitutional legislation to oxoludo
slavery from a territory, but must inter
vene to protect it whenever it may bo ne
cessary.

our National pride is involved. As far

Forewarned.—It seems to us incredible,
ufter the disastrous result of tho Har
per’s Ferry invasion, that any man or
sot of men, howevor radical in anti-sla
very sentiments, should contemplate a
like Incursion into the slave States with
the intention of inviting an insurrec

only tho municipal authorities are on
tho alert, but that the people of the
Froo Slates will sternly frown upon any
attempt to disturb tho social affairs of
any State. Whilo thoy oppose tho ex

“The Cobb Democracy were badly de

Tho “December Convention” was lo

A Lady Picked up on the Snow
Plough of u Locomotive t—Narrow
Fscnpc from Denthf
A singular accident occurred oil Moti
lity evening last on tho Central Railroad
at Waterloo, says the Rochester Union,
by which a lady, of that village had a
gratuitous ride before a locomotive, and
narrowly escaped a forriblo death by
being crushed beneath the wheels of
the engine. As tho mail train, dito hero
at 11.30 last night, was coming into
Waterloo at 8.40, Mr. Wright, tho en
gineer of tho locomotive “Goneral
Gould,” saw a lady running along ono
of tho streets towards tho train. Not
supposing that she intended to cross
the track ahead of tho train, lie kopt
on his way running slowly, perhaps five
orsix miles per hour. The lady, prob
ably deceived Lomcwhatby tho speed
of tho train or the distance it was from
her, attempted to cross the track ahead
of tho ongiue, hut did not succeed.—
She wus struck by tho small snow
plough or pilot, find fell upon it in such
a manner that she rode quite safely for
ten rods or more. Tho enginoor, tho
instant that he saw how summarily lie
had taken up a passonger, shut ofi’
stoam, reversed, and by the application
of tlio brakes, stopped tlio train as soon
as possible. He ran to the lady and
found that she was not so much ii\jured,
hilt that she was able to walk und speak.
She was somewhat disconcerted by tho
accident, hut expressed tho belief that
sho had received no serious injury. It
was u miraculous escape from a dreadful
Miss Augusta Evans.
Miss Augusta Evans (tho author of
Dr0/ah.) is of a Georgian family, Jbut n
Mobil inn. Her father was a merchant,
engaged in cotton business, who died
la*»t year—a man universally esteemed
for his probity, business talents and in

fine and rather commanding figuro,
though not too tall; with an air of truly
feminine grace. Her brow is oxnnnsivo,
and her dark eyes expressive of genius*
and fooling. .She is natural, unafit'o-
ted, with a very warm-hearted smile,
and social without absorbing conversa
tion.- She does not betray the author-
s, nor has a particle of the manner of
1 wish everybody—to—know—I—am
•the—nuthor—of— Beulah.” A strong
er might ho iu her company for days,
and never suspeot she ever ventured be
yond tho composition of “ a love let
ter.”
The scones of Beulah nro readily rec
ognizable in Mobile, although tho au
thoress has unfortunately striven too
much to voil them from detection. The
hook would liavo been very much more
'nhtuhlo, if she had painted us they nro
the places sho only leaves now to bo
guessed nt.
Tho Orphans’ Asylum, and tho pine
groves where Beulah loved to wander,
nro plainly enough given. It an author
lays Giesceno ol a story in any actual
nnd known place, ho increases its in
ti re t by drawing thorn to the life. An
old tree with a rook at its base is so truth
fully drawn hy Scott, that it has be
come 11 historic treasure iu tho district
where it is.
Miss Evans is a transcondcntnlist,
judging from her book. Sho has faith
in Carlyle’s theories of spiritual develop
ment, and in the soul working out its
bwn destiny from love of virtue, inde
pendent of revolution. Tlioso who
know her bestjsay tho mental conflict
through which Beulah and Dr. Hart
well'passed, is hut the transcript of her
own intellectual and moral experience.
As a sculptor of character out of tho
hard maruln of humanity, sho is lull'd-
ly surpassed. 1 liavo already spoken of
Adam Bedoand Life for Life. It is a
wonderful coincidence—wholy without
intention, lor . thu throe appeared aimul-
tai easy. How very much alike tho
three heioini's are, und Dr. Hartwell
like tho Dr. in Life for Life! This re
semblance must lmvo struck any one.
It is a metaphysical riddle. Miss Evans
could never have seen either of tlio
books. Is tlio solution that books do
not rule tho age, but tliut it is the ago
which controls and directs its books?—

that tho Sorgeant-at-arms of tho .Senate

ports that John Brown, jr., is in Ohio

ports that tho friends of Brown will not

firmatory of tho previous report that a
secret political society had been formed
in Ashtabula county, Ohio, whoso object
was to protect tho Harper’s Ferry gang
