Tlio love powders with which tho Southern Rights party huvo been so freely dosing tho frec soil fr'ofts (if the North, are beginning to produce wonderful effects. Having been forced to swallow the potion (tho Compromise of 1850) something after tiic manner of Mrs. administering physic to the juveniles of Do-the boys llnll, these new proteges of Southern Rights and the Admin istration hove nothing left them now but to “go it blind.” nnd ihey are ifoing it! They have lmd “ true Democratic principles’ thrust upon them : they hare been hugged to the breast of tho Ad ministration ns “sound on ‘heCumpromi-e,'’ until, rather than belie heir Southern Rights god fathers, they have turned to fondling the pet of the Nashville Convention, and are determined to maico the .Missouri Compromise heir to Nebraska nnd all other new territory henceforth and forever, lake nil questions affectin ‘ prejudicially the South, Northern freeenilism has become enraptured with tho idea of resuscitating and re enacting the Mis souri Compromise.

The Nashville Convention proposition ex actly suits their oaee, and they plant themselves t apoß jto platform the nsordtkeadUy. as it subaerves HEe purpose of opposition to Southern interests, [srMt>%p>nfsijpylj defers to high Southern author promisers of 1850 Tltnyhare nt avowed them?, selves such. They have, I*. eonsideration of A*] Government patronage, permitted Southern Rights] Democracy to make puliticanVijAteA for itself tjp.l asserting tliom to bo “ true to the AdminiotMffon And the Compromise,” because, while such asser tions might deceive Southern men into their sup port, they would exercise no influence at the North where the reveree was well know n to bv the foot. They have simply forborno active demonstrations of hostility to the Compromise of 1850, since the incoming of Mr. Tierce * administration, because it was their interest to do so. But now, with its endorsement by the Nashville Convention, they are determined to use the Missouri Compromise to the prejudice of the South. Southern men committed an error when they insisted that the provisions of this Compromise should lie applied to California, and the frecsoilers not only avail them selvss of error, bet boast tbs endorsement of it and the genninenese of their Democracy by the J oetb-m Rights party. At between them and the Oaioa Demo rats, the Southern Bights press haw invariably fitvond their pretensions, and decided as fnctionists and traitors that wing of the Democrat-, ic porty who opposed Martin Van Buren ami liioj frecw.il allies. They have thus worm and u viper into life whose venom now seeks to poison the life blood of Southern institution*. In the late canvass in Georgia the Southern Right* press wers admonished of the dangerous tendency of encouraging the free soil influence by discriminating ngainst the Northern Union Demo- • crats. 1 hey were told not to trust men who, while they mi^ht assume a virtue to obtain Executive favor, were belying the history of their past lives, in even refraining temporarily from agitating op i position to th* South, Tltey were cautioned against misleading he people into the lielicf that the leopard of freesoilism could change Ids spots; and become the friend and ally of slavery. But! they turned a deaf car to the voice of warning,; and professed to scout the idea of any unsoundness in these proteges of the new Administration.— These men. who seek to restrict slavery in he ter ritory of Ncbiaska, constitute tho “f’oft” Demo crats in whose behalf Southern Rights was zeal ous-even to denunciation of Southern men What answer have they to make I Will they de fend the policy which attaches the Missouri Com promise to tho Nebraska Territory ? Will they now endorse the Nashville Convention ultimatum ? Or will they admit that the Union party were right, and that those who oppose the finality of the Com promise of 1850, and its temovul of all restrictions upon slavery in the territorie--, arc enemies to the South and unfit subjects of executive favor? We shall see. There is no election pending now. and it is porsible that the present occasion may be deemed propitious for candid admissions. The following despatch from Washington to the New York Herald will give our readers some idea of the free-soil hostility tosluven in the Territory of Nebraska. Tho troubles of the Adiniuistra tion, referred to, are of its own creating, and we have no sympathy to expend in that direction: -The mev-t intense excitement prevails here among members of Congress, with reference to the Nebraska bill. It is evident that w ■ are fast approaching a similar state of feeling to that which existed in the wintur of 1849-50. The secession ists nre marshalling their bands, and the frecsoil ers ate receiving daily additions to their forces.— Mr. Dean, of New York, on Thursday, undertook to speak for the peculiar friends of the administra tion in his Btate. and declared they intended >o support the Nebraska bill. Since then two-thirds of the New York “soft” delegation have openly denounced his assertion as untrue. The adminis tration is using every exertion to restrain the storm, but their efforts nre n-futile ns would be the attempt to dam up Niagara with a shingle.” •> T e Missouri Compromise. An amendment having been proposed to Mr. Dougluss’ bill organizing a territorial government for Nebraska, substituting the Missouri Compro mise line for the provisions of the Compromise of 1830, it becomes the duty of the South to look the coming issue boldly in the face.— It is und übtedly a hostile demonstration, and comes from a quarter adverse to Southern ins itu tions. The Missouri Compromise hns served the purpose of its adoption, and has been acquiesced in by the South from a patriotic desire to preserve the Union. That it was an infringement of our Constitutional rights, we beliveno Southern man will deny, and legally it was of no binding force. Nevertheless, having . accepted it as a meas ure of paci. cation, the South has in good fuiih abided 1-y the provisions. of that Compromise, nod subm tti-d to the curtailment of ln-r rights and privi eges in nil the territories over which its re strictions extended. Having yielded all ihat tl- Missouri Compromise exacted, and cancelled her obligation by the fulfilment of the compact, the South now claims, and has a rip lit to expect that no further application of its unjust conditions will be made to new territory, u hich, having no exis tence at the time of the enactment of the Missou ri Compromise. < annot come within the scope of its provisions. Besides, the ats of 1850 have settled the question of the right of Congress to legislate on the subject of slavery and left it with the people of the torr tories to say. upon applying for admis sion into the Union as States, whether they will or will not have slave property. If the Missouri Compromise were nut exhausted by the applica tion of its provisions to all tho terriory e■ ntempla ted by it, it would still be repealed by the later law of 1850, with the provisions of which it so sen sibly conflicts. TANARUS, e Missouri Compromise is then liarred by the one of later date, for the provisions of the two are so at variance with each other, that both cannot remain of force (as to their future applicability) at the sumo time. It is neither just nor proper that the South should again be called upon to give up her interest in nowly acquired territory Ii concessions are ne cessary, it is high time that the Nor h had yielded something. She has as deep an interest in perpet uating the Union of the States as has tho South, and site but tampers with her best interests when she pushes our forbearance to extremes. Those rights and privileges which under the Constitution belong to us must be coneeded. YVe claim nothing as a favor from the North ; we ask for nothing which is not clearly specified in the bond of Union. YVe demand the fulfilment of the Compromise of 1850. The eyes of the Southern people arc upon the Union men of the North. YY'e make un terms with freesoilers and abolitionists. They are our enemies. They are tirrirg up t e slavery ques tion and attempting to restrict our rights in the territory of Nnhnuika. 1 The South wHUbe united and (4e*t an unbroken front to these new-light MwsMwt Compromise men. YY'e know the strug gle is coming. Agitation is rearing itsgngry crest *t **• sent of government. Fana.ieiwn, scctionnl- P> of strife, andpS*ring for the contest nElh'on men and true SouthcnT men must be at their posts—watchful—firm. There are them at 1 the North who stood by the South in 1850. They assisted to removo the slavery restriction in the Territories; and by their exertions in behalf of the South, they have mode our enemies their enemies. They are proscribed of tho fr, esoilors; they are in disfavor with the Administration, and, sins! they are even denounced of Southern men. This is not right—it is ungenerous. They are still true to us, while the hypoorncy of the “ Softs ” is unmasking itself. Shall we grasp the polluted hand of the freesoiler. of him who is even now aggressing upon our rights, rather than that of one who fought fur and is willing to abide by the Compromise of 1850 ! vVe trust it will not be so. Henceforth the South claims her right to carry slave property into the Territories. The Constitu tion gives it to her— the Compromise of 1850 gives it to her, and she deter will yield H. Upon this issue rate the teal of party attachment to the Union, to the Compraama, and to the South. - (COXMUXICATKD J , Sabbath Beading.

Any one, upon hearing this min ster, ; would, at omjc.pe Ccive the mathematical, logical, - j and reverential character of his mind. Through a connected series of data and previous demonstra tions in theological science, he conducts his dis i courses down to a. ntislacU ry “ qwat erat demon j rtrandum ’-lieantiful with the unction of fervnot | and earnest piety. He lays down his problem ! plainly, draws iU diagram on tho tablet of liis , hearers’ minds, and convinces them cf its truth on their hearts and consciences by argument xecun demartem; their intellectual faculty gives its en tire assent, and the affevtions of their moral s. nsi bility love the doctrine. VV hen 1 first entered the sarred edifice, I snw there none, except one solitary woman who hivl preceded me, a beautiful and accomplished lady, a member of the Church and of the Church-choir. The hour of meeting had past. I thought there would be no service. She reminded me of Mary sitting, in lucrvionl sorrow, at the vacant sepul chre of her cruei ed Savior, and perhaps tho same angel was whispering to her “He is not here, he is risen.” The Church looked as cold as that tomb after the resurrection. ‘1 he bell, after while, gave out upon the winds its solemn call, “Come | to Chur, h come to Church, and worship the Most j High God.” The people slowly c.itn • in, “like! angels’ visits, few and far between.” The preach er's tlitnic was the state and condition of man cor relative and contrasted, anterior and posterior to his in seruhlc sublabclaetion in Paradise, which brought woe and death -upon Adam and all his posterity By this, the moral beauty of the image, mans original and essential Irtiliness, was emiicly defaced, through the strut-gem of the envious, vengeful, and jealous Evil One, by the use of a fruit who e chemical acid concentrated, blackens and corrodes every thing it touches—ns an envious, vengeful, and jealous rival artist w ould obliterate the i:hej d'iiui r of a master genius in aesthetics. The image and picture still remain, but the aesthet ic charm, the beaut, of ideality is gone forever. The form and stature erect, the “ns suhtimr,” given to indicate the constant correspondence between man awl his Creator: is shn tered irreparably by disobedience. All this, both the beauty and fell c ty of the first state, and the miseryof the second, was presented to our view in beautiful language, the reverse, in that of the territ le sul lini". In the intensity ot interest, 1 forgot all Sensation of the weather, by which I was so benumbed when I left the Church I walked with difficulty. Was this oratory, or the power of simple truth, or both ? But he did not leave us without relief—mercy tiiruugh sacrifice. But to come hack to our main object—man's likeness to his Creator, as expressed in the texts— in what the image consists. There is a striking peculiarity in their languagc-the one is spoken in the plural number, showing the plural.ty and equality of the persons of the Godhead, in council and creation—the other is spoken in the singular number, showing the distinctive personality of the Father, and by analogy the same of the other two. Mind is the source and element of the similitude, however now and mined in mart. AM the abstract and immutable principles of piue science exist in the miud ot Deity, independent of materiality, and by which he made, measured, poises and moves, in infinite space, all visibilities, especially in mechan ics, the science of force and motion—lhat is all things perceptible to the sense*, matter in all its properties, magnitude, quantity, density, distance, gravitation, motion, rest. As fat as finite can approximate infinite, mind, man ih these principles, is like his Maker—the material universe is the machinery of the latter—the steam engine that of the former. Hut Gun’s works are perfect, mans iui|a-rfeut, liecau-e lie cannot control by his will a’-rtfuct principles applied to matter. Hence he j i always engaged in repairing his works. YY'e hcrespeuk only ofnatural attributes of the mind of both. In tlftir moral, the similitude is faint, in man almost entirely extinct, Aa in the beginning of ere tion the earth was without foini ad voul. and darkness was upon the face of the deep, so i>ft,‘r the fall, it.oral darkness was upon the soul of man : the spirit of God. as in the first instance, moved upon it. nnd * oil said, •• I.et there be light! and there was light.” Thus, once more, man regained imputcdly. the light of Ids cth’stial relationship. By tlie fall, mao lost his original hob ness, never, never to be regained except by reflection through a medi um-hy imputation, thru’ faith, of the ri.iltteousno.-s of the second person in the Godhead, in the stupen dous and awful plan of a vation. ns revealed typi cally and prophetically in the old, directly and nnti-typically in the nctv testament. Abraham’s faith was accounted unto him for righteousness. “Thy faith hath inudo.thee whole.’J “By grace are yc saved through faith, and that not of your s Ives, it is the gift ofGisl,” &e.
