TUESDAY MORNING, May 20.
Who Violated that Agreement,
lion. A H. Stephens In Ills lotter to
the “Macon Committoo”uses the follow
ing language:
‘•The South held that under Consti
tution, the Territorial Legislatures could
not exclude slavery—that this required
an act of Sovereignty to do. Some gen
tlemen of the North held, as they now
do, that the Territorial Legislatures
could control slave property ns absolute
ly ns thoy could any other kind of prop
erty, and, by a systom of laws, could
virtually exclude slnvory from amongst
them, or prevont its introduction, If
they chose.
That point of difference it was agreed
by both parties, to loaye to the Courts
to settle/’
In the next paragraph, alluding to
Mr, Yancey’s spoech ho says \
“Never did a man with greater clear
ness, demonstrate that ‘Squatter Sover
eignty' is not in the Kansas BUI. This
he put beyond the power of refutation,
But ho stopped not there, he went on
and by reference to tho decision of tho
Supremo Court alluded, to he showed
conclusively, In a most pointed and
thrilling climax, that this most fright
ful dootrino coqld not by possibility,
be in it, or any other Territorial Bill,
that it Is a constitutional imjtossibility.—
With the same master hand ho showed
that tho doctrine of 'Squatter .Sover
eignty’is not in the Cincinnati Plat
form.”
But here is the vory decision of tho
Supreme Court to which Mr. Stephens
alludes:
“The right of property In a slavo is
distinctly and oxpressly affirmed in tho
Constitution,” and “no tribunal acting
under tho authority of tho United States
whether it bo legislative, exeoutivo or
judicial, has a right to draw a distinc
tion or to deny to it the benefit of the
provisions and guarantees which have
been provided for tho protection of pri
vate property.” “And if Congress itsolf
cannot do this—-if it is beyond the pow
er conferred on the Federal Govern
ment—it could not authorise a Territo
rial Government to exercise them. It
could confer no power on any local gov
ernment, established by its authority,
to violate tho provisions of tho Consti
tution.” Tho only power conferred
is the power couplod with tho duty of
guarding and protecting tho owner in his
The Game.
It is evident that the Georgia Squat
ters are determined that the State shall
bo represented at Baltimore, The
Constitutionalist clearly intimates that, if
tho Milledgevillo Convention fails to
appoint dologates to tho Baltimore
Convention, tho Squatters will do what
thoy have condomned in suoh unquali
fied terms in tho Seceders from tho
Charleston Convention, namely, Ml
and nominate their own delegates.—

Mr. Bull. It la vory well for the
honorable Senator from Georgia, (Mr.
Toombs,| to proclaim now that ho is
not legislating for any soot ion ; ho cer
tainly is not going lor tho South! I

So wo go.
Our Gns^Vorki.
We are glad to loam that tho Gns
Company ore about to onlurgn their
works so ns to meet tho increasing de
mand for Gas. The wood gas works
have here been proved to be all that
was claimed for them, and tho compuny
it In a highly prosperous condition. The
cheapness and simplicity of theso works
make thorn sultablo to the wants of
small cities and towns. A capital stock
of say $8000 is ample for a town of 3000
or 4000 Inhabitants.
In coal and rosin gas tho apparatus
for generating is nearly the same as
that for wood gas except that tho latter
is more simple, and less expensive.—
Tho grand difforcnce between tho man
ufacture of wood gas and that made
from othor materials lies in the great
comparative euso and simplicity with
which the former is made. Coal and
rosin gas after leaving tho gonorative
retort possos first through tho water
of the washers, thon the condensing pipes,
some 10 or 12 in number; and lastly
through tho purifiers, which are large
cast iron boxes filled with perforated
shoives covered with llmo, and thence
to the gas holder. This machinery is
complicated and expensive, nnd, if coal
be used, there is no small amount of
trouble and oxponse in supplying nnd
removing tho lime. But in wood gas
the i coshers tho condensing pipes and tho
pur\fy\ngapparatus are all dispensed with,
and tho machinery usod is so simple
that any man of ordinary intelligence
can tend sufficient retorts to gonerato
6000 foot of gas per day.
rights?
Now what does Mr. Douglas the cham
pion of “this most frightful doctrine”
of Squatter Sovereignty, and tho loa
der of those othor “gentlemen at tho
North” who “agreed to lcavo this
point to the Courts Uf sottlo,” say, and
that too since the decision of the Supreme
Court.
“Tho people of a Territory can bv
lawful moans exclude slavery before it
comes in' ns a State;” and “no matter
what mag be the decision <f the Supreme* Court
on that abstract, question, still tho right
of the people of the Territories to make
it a slave Territory or a free Territory, is
perfect nnd complete
And yet in tho face of these unde
niable facts Mr. Stephens asks;
“Why should wo ot tho South now
complain of non-intervention, or ask a
change of platform? If those who
stood with us on it in tho con test of 1850
are willing still to stand on it, why
should wo not lie equally willing?—
What oho have wo to do, but to insist
upon our allies to stand to their agree
nient ?”
This is precisely what was done by
tho entire South at Charleston, nnd al
most tho entire North refusod to keep
their pledge. Notwithstanding tho Su
premo Court lias settled it in our favor,
still Mr. Douglas repudiates it, ns is
seen in the extract abovo from one of
liis speeches during his campaign with
Abraham Lincoln in Illinois, and says
he is right “no matter what may be the de
cision of the Supreme Court.” lie in tho
most uninislnkcable language, and, his
tools at Charleston by overt ao,t have
utterly refusod to “stand to tho agree
ment” entered into with tho South.—
And yet Mr. Stephens calls upon tho
South not to “complain.”
In one place ho says all we have to
do “is to insist upon our allies to stand
to.thelr agreementin another place
lie says, “tho demand made at Charles-
Mohk Citv Improvements.—Morrison

Union, Mr. Calhoun and some other
honorable Senators contended that the
Constitution would opera to as a repeal
of tho Mexican law. abolishing slavery,
and give protection to tho slaveholder.
Some other Senators doubted on tlint
point. The honorable Senator from
Mississippi (Mr. Brown,) can, perhaps,
'xplniit ttio different doctrines which
then wore held in tho South on this
subject. At all events, the compromise
acts of 1850 left tho Territory as it was
when annexed, and allowed the people
to Interdict or establish slavery, as they
pleased, when they should form their
Stuto constitution. That was the doc
trine of non-intervention then. What
is it in this bill ? I am in favor of the
principle of non-intervention. Such
non-intervention as would havo given to
tho South Cuba ns a slave State, should
it over bo annexed to tho United
States; such non-intervention ns that,
if there had been no compuct with
regard to the admission of Slavo States
to bo carved out of Toxus, would have
secured to us those slavo States, inde
pendent of the compact by which tho
United States are bound to admit them.
But under the state of things now pro
duced—under the feeling of distrust
and resentment getting up at the North
against tho South—1 predict-no, I
will not predict, because it is too sorious
a subject—I will state that, if this state
of things shall not change essentially,
tho time will never come when amlave
State can ho admitted out of Texas.—
Tho non-intervention of 1850 was to let
tho Territories which come into the
Union as slave territory bo considered
slavo territory until the inhabitants
determine, when they form a State
constitution, that slavery should be
abolished; and if it enmo in as free
territory, then the inhabitants to restrict
or adopt slavery, at their discretion,
whon thoy form a .State constitution.—
But by tin’s bill you intorpose to repeal
tho Missouri compromise, which would
restore the territory to tho condition of
slave territory, us it was whon annexed ;
but not coiituiit with that, you further
interrero to inako it free territory.—
You then provide, without limitation of
time or numbers, that tho inhabitants
shall decide in t heir Territorial Logisla-
“io to establish or prohibit si ivory.—
Well suppose tho first Legislature
shall admit slavery, may not tho next
abolish it, and thus keep up a povpctu-
al struggle; whilo Congress, at tho same
time, may be agitated again by ques
tions of further intervention ? Yet this
is a measure of peaco to the country!
It is to ^ive quite; all agitation is to

Mn. Editor :—Permit me through

of tho Opposition party of this State, to
refrain from taking any action in regard
to tho Presidential question, until after
tho meeting of tho Democratic Conven
tion at Baltimore ,on the 18th Juno. 1
will not hero stop to state the reasons
for the suggestion, as they will readily
occur to every man who has watched
tho course of events for tho past few
months. 1 will only say that there is no
probability that the Baltimore Conven
tion will nominate a candidate that tho
South ought to support. It is more than
likely that tho Southern delegates will
again bo forced to withdraw. In that

The Japanese Embassy.
The Embassy now in Washington is
the second that has ever loft Japan.—
Tho first was to Pope Gregory XI II, in
1584, when the King of Bongo, with
those of Arina and Omura, islands of
Japan, sentan embassy to Rome, to lay
ot tho feet of tho Pope tho lionmgo anil
ohedionco of tho Chr.stian Kings of
Japan. Two Princes wore on this em
bassy. Tho voyage to Europo was a
^ woiis ono, and they arrived in Por-
two years nfter their departure
from Nagasaki, having stopped in India
on their way. Thoy were received in
Lisbon with great coromonv, and mul
titudes of the people {locked to the
chdrehes to seo them. Thoy had a
similar reception at Madrid, whore King
Phiilin the Second came personally to
pay his respects to them. Pope Greg
ory gave them a public reception in
Rome, and all tho foreign persons or
distinction joined in tho procession.—
The knighthood of tho Golden Spurs
was conferred upon tho Princess ; the
Pope put on tho sword and girdle, and
tho Ambassadors of Franco and Spain
buckled on the spurs. They were con
ducted bnck with similar ceremony.—
They returned to Nagasaki in 151K).—
Tho two Princes became Christian mis
sionaries, and one of them sealed his
religious profession with his blood,when
the Japanese expelled tho Jesuits, and
shut themselves out from all foreign in
tercourse. Various nttcmptt have been
since made to re-open communication
with the Japanese. Two embassies,
sent by Russia, havo failed to obtain an
entrance into the country. Commo
dore Perry accomplished what so many
failed in, nnd the present visit of the
Japanese embassy is tho result of bis
undertaking.
Tiie Conquering. Douglas.—Tho
Washington correspondent of the Col
umbia South Carolina says, during tho
dobuto ill tho Senate on Tuesday ln**t
on the territorial question, Mr. Douglas
took the floor for a few moments.. lie
spoko amid tho most breathless ntten
tion, and demeaned hiinsel like an im
ot*this porious dictator. Turning to Senator
Davis, ho said, the Senator from Missis
sippi informs us lie intends to give no
quarter to tho principles I sustain—lot
me say to the Senator, l ask no quartor
at his hands, “It is for tho victor to
grant mercy, not to receive It.” Just
at this moment, Senator Mason whisper
ed in a loud tone something to Mr. Da
vis, whereu|>on the arrogant “Little
Giant” paused, folded his arms, ami
with the most scornful glance address
ing himself to Senator Mason, said
‘ And wl at has tho Senator from Vir
ginia to say?” Mason was completely
taken aback, and of courso, had noth
ing to reply. Douglas ovidontly acts
the part of tho conquering hero.
for their plightod faith, we do not bo-
lievo tho peoplo of Georgia are; and
the endorsement of tho action of tho
seceders, by thorn in their county con
ventions all over the State, is proof of
this fact.
Ail Interesting incident in the Char
leston Convention,
When tho lion. W. L. Yancey, in tho
delivery of liis able speech, in tho
Charleston Convention, had become
completely absorbed in liis sulyect, to
tho exclusion of everything else, he ad
dressed the Convention as “gentlemen
of the jury.” This littlo mistake pro
duced a long continued uproar of mer
riment, during which Mr. Yancey bow
ed thrice, evidently showing' that ho
was ignorant of tho causo. Ho applied
to tho President, who was enjoying tho
joke as muoh ns any ono, and was in
formed of his mistake. Whereupon, ho
immediately turned to the Convention
and made tho following excellent appli
cation : “Yes, gentlemen, you are in
deed the jury empannelled to try tho
causo of our common country. But
unlike the advocate who stands at tho
bar to speak for his client, I am here
unpaid—no feed advocate—no seeker
for office.”
This happy turn excited the utmost
enthusiasm. Tho orator thon proceed
ed to make an eloquent and powerful
argument for the South, that would
have convinced any unbiassed jury in
tho world; but unfortunately for truth,
for justice, and for tho South, this jury
was packed, and returned a verdict con
trary to evidence and the highest judici
al authority in the land.

who are opposed to Black Republican
ism and DouginsSquattorism, bo thoy

sembled, may well undertake to speak
for tho South.
I trust that tho Opposition press in
Georgia will givo this a place in thoir
columns. Brutus.

JKSpTho N. Y. Tribune, thus speaks of
Mr. Toomb’s lato speech on Squatter
Sovereignty:
Mr. Toombs made ono of his pow
erful speeches against Equator Sover
eignty, completely riddling tho doctrine
and holding it up to general contempt.
Ho proved that the uniform practice
of more than half a century had been
for Congress to oxorcise complete power
over tho Territories, and cited tho au
thorities to show that this power hud
been used in various forms, all acknowl
edging its absolute and unquestionable
jurisdiction.
liis argument wont to demonstrate
that Congress ought to attord protection
to slavery in the territories, inasmuch
as wo wore bound by the treaties which
subsequent laws had recognized to pro
tect the person nnd property of thoso
who became citizens by tho transfer of
French, Spanish, nnd Mexican territory.
He contended that both parties at
Charleston nnd Chicago pledged them
selves to tho protection of naturalized
citizens abroad in all their rights, even
at the hazard of war, and yet only re
fused it to their own people in their own
Territories.
Mr. Toombs thus soperated from his
friend, Mr. Stephens, for the first time
in twenty years. They havo hitherto
been like Siamese twins in politics.
Mr. Douglas* absence from the Senate
during this speech was much remarked,
and mainly from tho fact that Mr.
Toombs has been more tolerant of liis
heresies than any othor Southern Sen
ator.
Mr. Hammond followed in a short
written speech on the same side, and
Mr. Pugh replied without making
muoh impioesion.
Mr. Benjamin will answer Mr. Doug
las’ argument briefly to-morrow, and
there is some disposition to close the
debate.
Niciiit Air.—An extraordinary fallacy
is tho drond of night air. What air can
we breuthe at night but night air?—
The ohoico is between pure night air
from without and foul night nir from

An unaccountable choico. What will

open window most nights in tho year

covery. lu great cities night nir is often
the best nnd purest air to bo had in tho
twenty-four hours. 1 could better un
derstand shutting tho windows in
towns, during the day, than during tho
night, for the sake of tho sick. Tho
absence of smoko, tho quick, all tend
to make night tho best time for airing

cal authorities on consumption nnd
climate, has told mo that the air of
London is never so good as nfter ten
o’clock at night. Always air your
room, then, from the outride air, if
possible. Windows ure made to open
doors are made to shut—a truth which
seems extremely difficulty of apprehen

IfiTTho following letter descriptive
of Victor Emanuels’ reception at Leg
horn, will be very interesting to our rea
ders..
U. S. Steam Sloop or War “Iroquois,”
Leghorn, Tuscany, April 18th I860.
Dear Dwinei.l:—There are dark
ctoudy days occasionally even in Hally;
and lo this fact tho present lettor owes
its oxistonco. For tho last three days
Leghorn, and in fuel every city, village
and hamlet in all Tuscany lias been In
a terrible uproar of joyous enthusiasm
on accouut of the arrival of Victor Era*
innnuel of Sardinia, and the annexation
to his kingdom.
Tho idoa of comparing onos mind du
ring such an excltemoiit, sufficiently to
write a letter, is absolutely absurd.—-
The rain of to-day and tho badwouthor
have cuuscd them to suspend their de
monstrations; but oxtensivo prepara
tions are being made to renew them
witli tho first ray of sunshine.
The King arrived about half past ten
o’clock on Monday morning from Ge
noa. At daylight on tho satno morning
got under way from the lovely bay of
Spuzxin, and with a light wind stood to
the southward, bound for Leghorn.—
About six o’clock we discovered a Hoot
of largo steamers on our starboard bow,
and immediately changed our course
and ran down for them. On noaring
them wo made out three largo steam
frigates and a smaller steamer formed
in lino of battle, and standing in to*
wards Leghorn.
Thoy were all dressed with flogs, and
carried at their mast-heads the Royal
standard of Sardinia, which is only
hoisted when the King is embarked.
On making tho discovery we inorensod
our speed and when In a fow hundred
yards of the leading ship, on board of
which was the “Washington of Italy/
wo filed a salute of twenty-one guns
with the Sardinian colors flying ut the
innst head.
It being returned, wo dressed tin
ship with flags and took our position
their weather quarter, regulated our
ipeed with theirs (which the “Iroquois
can always do) and entered tho harbor
of Leghorn with them.
This mark of respect and frlent
ship shown to tho most liberal minded
and uuliglitoncd of European saver
eigns—Queen ^Victoria excepted—lias
greatly increased the good feelings al
ways entertained by tho Tuscans toward:
Americans.
The King was conducted ashore in
magnificent barge, carved nnd gilded,
amid the booming of tho guns of every
man-of-war in tho harbor utid the bat
teries ashore, and tho shouts of tho mul
titude. A gorgeous canopy of crimson
velvet, gracefully festooned with tho
colors of Sardinia and France nnd lined
with white satin sprinkled with golden
stars had been erected at tho landing
place. In the space contained bot ween
tho doors or openings hung elalahoratc
1 Huntings representing tho battle of
Montebello, Palestro, Magenta and
Solferino. At a short distance up the
street from this canopy was a triumphal
arch of canvass stretched over frame
work and so cleverly painted that it
was only by a close Inspection that I
discovered that H was not of granite.
On tho sido next to the landing was
painted in large letters “ 1 ietorio Kman-
uetle Libcratore odItalia." Tho street
from the lauding to this arch was cover
ed witli the richest Brussels carpeting.
A«1 the flags 1 had ever seen ill my life
taken together would form but a small
fraction of the number displayed on. the
occasion. The greater part wore Sardin
ian, and tho remuinder French.—
Shouts of’’Viva Vietorio Enmniiollo!
Viva Napoleon !” filled the air. Liber
ty, Victor Emanuel and Napoleon
always mentioned together. One sug
gests the other. Every mail woman and
child tried not to be outdone in acts ot
honor to their now King. One fellow
was seen edging his way through the
crowd witli an immense ladder and a
paint biush. No ono could itnngino
what he intended doing with them.—
The ladder was planted against the buil
ding on the corner of the streot, with
paint brush in hand lie mounted to the
top nnd witli one dash obliterated the
namoofthe street Via “Grnndo” and
wrote under it via “Vietorio Emanu-
ellc.” Tho streot is now callod by its
now namo.
After remaining a few hours the King
started in a special train for Florence.
Tho next day tho officers of tho “Iro
quois” (who were on a visit to Florence)
were presented to him. After passing
through long lines of soldiers they were
ushered into a largo and plainly fur
nished room. The King in military
dress nnd unattended by a single per
son, advanced from the other side of
the room with extended hand to moot
them. Tho reception was vory cordial.
IIo talked freely and familiarly, nnd
several times during the interview laugh
ed outright—something very unUigni-
fiod in royalty. He is apparently about
forty-five years of ago; though it is said
ho looks much older than lie really
lie hns tho most luxuriant moustacho
of any in Europo. His figure
short and stout to present a fine milita
ry appearance and his head is thrown
back on his shoulders to sucli a degree
as to impress ono with tho idoa that
lie has received some injury in the neck,
liis faco is full; his eye quick, piercing
and restless; his mouth indlcaMng firm
ness and self-reliance; and his whole
manner uneasy. Ho has rather tho
bluff franknoss of a soldier than the
elegant polish of a prince. Distin
guished for his gallantry and his milita
ry knowledge oven before ascending
the throne, he now stands high on the
list of tho military ohieftains of the age.
Ho is a great admirer of tho American
ration, the idol of his army, a friend of
tho lower classes and is styled the “Lib
erator of Holy,” Ho disclaims court
etiquotte j and acts entirely indepen
dently of tho opinions of other crown
ed heads, ns is evident from tho fact of
his wanting to make the daughter of a
drummer in one of his regiments, Queen
of .Sardinia. It is said the influence of
Court Oavour alone prevented him from
doing so.
Possessing a noble heart, a generous
and impulsive nature, and a cultivated
mind, ono is sadly disappointed in his
personal appearance. In talking with
tho country peoplo, thoy havo often
spoken of him as the “Washington of
Italy.” The suocoss of the American
Colonies, weak nnd oppressed, in throw
ing off the yoke of England, was no
doubt, hold up before the peoplo, by
tho leadors of the revolution wliiohhas
just driven out the Grand Duke, to
arouse them.

Mountain Scenery.—Mountain scon
cry, beyond all other forms and uspects
of nature, generates strong local attach
ment. Tho most intense love of coun
try lias always been found In dwellers
among the hills. No homos have been
fought for with such earnest, solf sacri
ficing patriotism as wild ami oven bar
ren rooky fastnessos. Mountaineers
can bo destroyed in their homes more
easily than they can be driven from
thoir homes; and none feel the hard
ship of exile and expatriation so keen
ly as they. Summer tourists uro bound
Gy the same law of attraction. On oth
er routes of travel thoy seek tho Best of
novelty, and are perpetually exploring
regions previously unvisited ; but the
mountain journey or sojourn invites
thoir return for season after season, and
the same steiis are retraced, tho snmo
haunts revisited, with un interest, a fas
cination. and a joy that Dover reach
their climax. This is due in part, wo
doubt not, to merely physical expori*
encot. Tho pure, thin, bracing nir of
olovatod regions is inhaled with a con
scious luxury, which seldom accompa
nies tho process of breathing on the
plain or by tho soashores. Tho sum
of vitality is doubled, and the life of
two days seems omdonsud into ono.—
Tho undulating paths, the alternuto as
cent an.I decent, bring in turn all tho
muscles employed In locomotion into
exercise, and givo them In turn relief
and relaxation, so that not only docs
the enthusiastic nedostrain find his ca
pacity enchanced, but ns wo havo learn
ed by repeated trial, tho horso, In whoso
case the journey is a mereiitlair of mus-
ole, measures day by day a g e* er
distance, and for a greater number ol
successive days, in a hilly country than
i level ground.
But the transcendent chnrm of moun
tain scenery is in its unceasing novelty.
Oil no two days, for no two successive
hours, is the panorama the same. Sun
light, cloud ami vapor, are presented in
combination that change as often, ami
are as incapable iff repent ing themselves,
as the groups of glittering objects in the
kaleidoscope. The caps wreaths, and
fillets of azure mists, the shadows of mov
ing clouds, the prismatic hues tliat
clothe barren crags with a transfiguring
glory at sunset, tho pnssagoof dense
column of vapor among tho hills and
over tl»© valleys, nro at every moment
as fresh a joy to tho beholder us if the
like bad never been seen betoro. The
midsummer night is not too long, for a
feast of beauty and grandeur served by
elemental spirits that know how to greet
j their guests with u new surprise at every
1 moment.—F. A. Jtevicw,

Rulu for Predicting tho Weather*
About a year ago wo mentioned, with
out attaching imieli credit to it, an cm
piriual rule by which tho weather might
l>e predicted with tolerable certainty
during tho last twenty-four or twenty-
five ilaysof a month, from that which
prevailed during the former ones. This
rule is now, however, again brought for
ward with such additional arguments
in its favor as lo induce us to return to
the subject. It appears that it was tho
late Marshul Hugeaud who discovered
it in an old Spanish manuscript; he was
struck with the great number of obser
vation from which it had been deduced
extending over more than fifty y
and resolved to verify it himself. The
result jo( his observations was«fco rutis-
faotory, that he soon got into tho habit
in Algeria of consulting tho rule on alt
occasions when some important milita
ry or agricultural operations wore in
contemplation. The rule is as follows:
“Eleven times out of twelve, tho weath
er will, during tho whole lunation, bo
Vito same as that which ocourrod on tho
fifth day of that moon, if on tho sixth
tho weather was the same as on tho
fifth. And, nine times out of twelve,
the weather of the fourth day will last
throughout tho moon, if tho sixth
turns out to be like tho fourth.” Tho
Marshal used to add six hours to the
sixth day .before pronouncing on tho
weather, in order to make up for tho
daily returdation of tho moon botwoen
two passages across tho meridian. It is
clear that this rule may not always bo
applicable, tnero being nothing to pre
vent tho sixth day from being quite dif
ferent from tho fourth and fifth. M. do
Comuck, of Havre, has just published
liis observation, continued for ten
months, nnd which completely confirm
the rule.—Galignani's Messenger,

nnd threw it through a brick wall nine
