The Southern Press, says:—Those who sup-
port, ami those who connive at, or submit to,
Northern aggression rely on the attachment to
the Union as the guarranty of all acts of Fed
eral power, and the barrier to all measures of
redress. But so far as the love of Union is
rational and sincere, it will not stand in the
way of the rights of the States. It will be easy
for the Southern States when they meet in
conncil to devise remedies for wrong and op-
pression, without impairing any of the legitV
mate functions of the Union. And such reme
dies will be proposed. When they come to be
acted on, we shall be able to distinguish those
who love the Union for the rights it protect*
from those who adhere to it for the plunder It
may give. And if the North shall reject rea
sonable terms of redress, of safety and equality,
the cant of loving the Union will stand exposed
—and tho spell be dissolved.

Wilmer and Smith’s Times, of Liverjmol,
•ays:
“Wo noderstand, with some troth, that th*
Chancellor of the Exchequer baa at length been
convinced, by the powerful argument* and eon-
vincing statistics! re tarns of the Newspeper
Press Association, that it is advisaide, at the
Dost session of Parliament, to abolish the pa.
per duties, as well a« (he stamp dnty on new*,
papers, and the doty on advertisements—in fact
to make the press of this country as free aa it
is in America.”
“This will afford immense relief to the pub
lishers of newspapers and advertisers, aa it is
well known that these- defies are exceedingly
onerous, limiting the circulation of newspapers
and their advertising business. Newspapers,
however, are not charged with potiagt in Great
Britain nntil they get rather old.”
Snail Faults.
Homes are more often darkened by the eon-
tinned recurrence of small faults than by the
actual presence of any decided vice. These
evils are apparently of very dissimilar magni
tude; yet it it easier to grapple with tho one
than the other. The Eastern traveller can
combino his forces and hnnt doom th* tiger
that prowls upon his path, bat he finds it scarce
ly possible to escape the mosquitoes that infest
the air be breathes, or the flies that swarm in
the sand he treads. The drunkard has been
known to renounce bis darling vioe, the slave
to dress and extravagance, her besetting sin,
bat the waspish tamper, the irritating lone, list
rode dogmatical manner, and the hundred name
less negligences that spoil the beauty of asso
ciation, have rarely done- other than proceod,
till the action of disgust and gradual alienation
leave nothing hot a barren track, over which
the mare skeleton of companionship stxlks a-
lone.

the combined governments of the United States

Jodgc Wellborn’s Letter
We find in the Washington Union of the
8th insL, a letter from Hon. M. J. Wellborn, to
bis constituents which we hare not room to
copy. The letter la a long one and is an elab
orate argument to show that the late bill* pass
ed by Congress bearing on the interests of
slavery, are not a sufficient cause for disunion
and that “althongh not justly satisfactory in
eveiy particular, (hey compare well, aa a ae
ries of measures with settlements heretofore
made between the slaveholding and non-slave-
holding sections, of disputes respecting slavery
to show, in fine, that we can honorably ac
quiesce in them.” By this we understand
Judge Wellborn, to mean that the injustice has
not been sufficient to drive ns to the last resort
choice between disunion and dishonor.—
We judge this from the whole tenor of the let-
ter, as the argument used is against disunion
or secession for existing causes and not against
any Constitutional action for future protection.
The following extracts will give the leading
ideas of his letter on the subjects'referred to:
The Utah and New Mexico territorial bills
are obviously more favorable than aueh as we
have, nntil within a few months past, and in
view of the prospect of the admission of Cali
fornia with or without a division of her boun
daries, been nceustomed to demand. They
exceed in essential particulars, of great value
to the South, the provisions of the now some,
what historical peace measure proposed by Mr.
Clayton in ’48. In that scheme the aathority
of the Territories to adopt slavery prior to the
organization of State constitutions Wat express
ly withheld from them, while it was simply si
lent on tire subject of the great, and by the
North hitherto uniformly denied, right ef the
people of the Territories organizing Stale gov.
ernnMOta to adopt shivery, and to he’received
into tho Union without objection for that cause.
Not so with the Utah and Now Mexico bills.
There is nothing in them which shads in op
position to the introduction within the Territo
ries to which they apply of slavery at any mo
ment ; and the right of the people inhabiting
them to adopt it in their anticipated State con
stitutions without obstruction to their incorpor.
ation into (lie Union is expressly guarantied. •

examined by partial and rapid analysis, into the 10 oor Uod-
nature of the wrong done ns in regard to Cali
fornia, the mode by which it came about—re
sulting, as it did, rather from the non-artion
than the aggression of the government—the un
certain nature of the loss, if any, we have, in
substance, sustained—and to whnt extent it
was in the power of the present Congress to
nupply ah- available remedy, the question, vast
as it ia, recurs: It this an offence sufficiently
grave to be commensurate with the mighty en
terprise of dissolving ‘Ut etthfederation of thirty
Statu, and covering a-people of twenty millions

sets all comparison with any other nation under

gitive slave MIL Its provisioas are Of fim most

After discussing the possibilities and proba
bilities of destroying the inititntion of slavery
in the District of Columbia and the States, he
says::. —' -i
I have that felt my way (hroagh the gloomy
caverns into which we are accustomed to send
our imaginations as containing the sources of
danger that, in the fears of many, including my
own, may ‘ sooner or latrr possibly render it
necessary to destroy the government with a
view to avoid them, or at all events, to save
ourselves from the Ignomhty of a blind or cow
ardly submission to ontrage and desecration.
But is our ruin in the Union inevitable I Are
our dnngcrs distinct

be reasoned with. Oo (he other hand, the non-
tlavrholding States have an immense static in
the proceeds of slave hbor, and immense ob
stacles to overcome, it must be seen, in order
to effect its destruction. * *

of the Christian Advocate giving an exposition of
bis “creed” in relation to Iba subjects which now

of the Union. He bolds the same doctrine that
Madison -did, that tb* Union is “indissoluble” by
Uy dohstitatiobuf or pemeable sasnos mithin (be

Like statue chained iipmr tire' green,-
I felt my peace of heart was o’er.-

For I, unconsciously had neared,
And stood embarrassed by her side.

And (Hi I the'cadence'of her rote*;
