[FOR THU SOUTHERN TRIBUNE.] THE STORM OP RIPE. The chill blast is howling aloud, The rain falls in torrents around, Bat more drear the sad thoughts that crowd O’er the heart in sorrow now drowned. All joyless, forsaken I roam, A'o kind friend to cheer me comes near; Faraway from my kindred and home, 1 wander the child of despair. What! despair did I say ? Ob no, For a Father in Heaven I have, Who can say to the billows of wo ‘Be still.’ Thy friendship, kind Father, I crave My elierub babe is with Thee now, Safe from the storms of life is he ; A crown upon his lovely brow, ilc sweetly sings, and smiles on me. Take courage then my drooping heart, Thy toils and cares will soon be o’er ; From earth’s rude blasts thou wilt depart, A nd tiien thou'it sigh and weep no more. DOROTHEA. Vineri.ilc, Ga. i) o 1 111 c a l. From the Richmond Enquirer. The Compromise. This compromise, like the law, “is a deep well from which every man draweth according to the strength of his under standing.” It requires to be well consid ered. A few days ago, when borne down with authority from all quarters in favor of the whole compromise, without read ing or considering it with reference to maps, we made some hasty remarks upon it in connection with California and the territories, but entirely under the belief that its provisions were altogether differ erent from what they in truth are. We supposed that part of Texas proposed to be given up for territorial purposes, consisted of some asperities on her Northern bouo- Varies, extending beyond 30° 30'—the Missouri compromise line. The speech °f Mr. Soule and others began to wake us up, when a judicious and distinguished friend ferretted out the lines by reference to the best maps, and found that, instead of trimming Texas down to the former compromise, the boundary comes four and a half degrees of latitude South of that line (that is from 3Gj to 32) and six de grees of longitude East of the Western boundary of Texas, from 29° to 23° West of Washington, being fiom 10G to 100 West of Greenwich; —thus taking from |cxas about 140,000 square miles (more 1 1; m twice the size of Virginia) now actu- J y Mave territory. To our surprise, cve -1) body here seemed to be equally ignorant 01 this astounding fact as ourselves. the Committee of Thirteen might just as w °fr have proposed taking the two Con cessional Districts of Virginia, bordering l ' lo Ohio River, as to have demanded ( |j ls territory from Texas. Tho Virginia i lets would make a very respectable ll c or a handsome legacy to Penusylva- a °> Ohio, and a fine field for abolition t v j. 'cment. '1 here would he no difficul • m laying the price of indemnity, if that THE SOUTHERN TRIBUNE. NEW SERIES —VOLUME 11. would effect the object. Congress has precisely as much right to buy up a part of Virginia for thepurposa of abolition, as a part of Texas. W e are nowsatisfied that the New York 1 Herald is light, when it says that the Mis souri Compromise extended to the Pacific Ocean, is the true line upon which to com promise. All parties will know their rights at once. Adopt this, and it slams the door in the face of disunion and aggression everywhere.* Whi'e Congress can impose no binding conditions upon the principles of Government for California, yet that body can fix herboundarv limits. It may probably be best, as Californian has taken a territory belonging to the Government, large enough for several States, to adhere to the Missouri Compromise, and bring her Southern boundary to that line. It would fall about Monterey on the Pacific, giving to the Southern States a front of fur degrees, and to the Northern twelve —three to one ! The North would get all the best of the mining and farming country, as well as the good harbors. The proposition of the Committe of Thirteen, besides invading the Missouri Compromise, directly violates the solemn resolves of nearly all the Southern States in regard to the abolition of slavery and the slave trade in the District of Columbia and the States, and of interfering with the rights of slaveholders therein. If the Southern States yield to this Compro mise, it will be such a backing out as no Virginian six months ago ever expected to see. What guaranty shall we have that our States will not be put up in the pub lic market at Washington,and be partition ed off to suit purchasers, and sold for the best price? And who can stay the hand of the hordes of aggressors, if we once yield an inch to the demands of injustice ? None! no one!! Fifty years ago this unterrified Com monwealth, single-handed and alone, un furled the bannerof resistanbe to the un constitutional enactments of Congress, and inscribed upon it a determined adher ence to the Union, to the Csnstitution, to the rights of the States, and the rights of the people. She was seconded by Ken tucky. One after another her sister States condemned and censured her, denounc ing her course as leading to disunion.— She maintained her position, and called back many to the true princi lies of the Constitution, and saved the Union. She will do her duty again if the present com promise be staved off till the people can recover from the false security into which they have been lulied by clamordis against the neces i y of the Nashville Convention. Staving off will probably be better for the present than a rejection. The bringing in of California as she is, or her rejection altoget her, would produce an alarming state of affairs. Tti a few weeks the views of the Nash ville Convention may be known, when, in all probability, it will lead to the con vening of most of the Legislatures of the South, in order to take into considera tion the mode and manner of redress, in case Congress shall pass any act in viola tion of the constitution, or the solemn re solves and compromises heretofore made. Or, perhaps, the Convention may suggest some new compromise, to be submitted to the States South, for their consideration and ratification as States; which could then come before Congresss with a weight calculated to command the respect and sanction of all parties, and quiet the a larms of the people. But any one who supposes that the Southern people and their legislatures will take back all their solemn resolves, deliberately made, and see their rights rudely trampled upon and themselves insulted, will find himself mis taken. That there are some who would glory in suchhumiliation, there is no doubt, but they are very few. It is not for us to dictate what should be done. Our hopes were so much elated at the indea of a fair, honorable and satis factory compromise, that we were almost beguiled into an approval of the whole scheme. But the abolition of the slave trade in the District, which it has always been understood was to be the death knell of the Union, fell heavily upon our ears and excited distrust. And now, upon, ex amination of the fact in reference to Tex as and California, those branches of the compromise are found to be clear and un doubted violations of the principals upon which the South stands pledged. We, therefore, hope that it is not yet too late to make a solemn appeal to those who love the Union for the sake of her loveliness and not for mischief. What will she be worth when violated by the rude hand of force or intimidation I Let all who ad mire that comeliness and undefiled purity which make her lovely to the nations of the earth and the just admiration of all people, now rally to the rescue and save her from disgrace. Let them demand of Congress such amendments of the proposed compro mise and such guaranties for the full and entire l ights of the South hereafter as will restore the affections of the people to the Union they love ! Who that loves the free republican institutions of these States, can for one moment consent that any shall be laid under unequal or unjust condition to others, or can endanger the cause of liber ty throughout the world, by putting to pe ril our sacred Union, from motives of ra pine and oppression among the stronger upon the weaker parts! Who can con sent that parts of States shall be torn from MACON, (GA.,) SATURDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 8, ISSO. the rest, by compromises to build plat forms for Presidential aspirants, or Insati ate the morbid appetite of those who wish to elevate the African negro to the halls of Anglo-American legislation ? Who is willing to put to hazard,(he happiness and safety of seventeen millions of free white people, for the vain hope of liberating three millions of negroes, who, for the most part, are unfit to be free in any coun try ? We appeal to the right minded, well meaning people of the North, to take sides with us, for the protection of those rights, which pertain to all the States in common. Abolition cannot be admitted ; and this whole question of destroying Southern rights and crippling Southern power, comes at last to this issue—gener al Abolition! Every man, North and South, knows this full well, and it does not become any one to conceal it. It is not to the interest of the North, that three millious of negroes should be turned out upon the commons. The British have tried the experiment upon their West In dia plantations, to their heart’s content.— The Southern States cannot admit it if they would. They must, they will resist it, “at all hazards, and to the last extremity .” A short Story About Honesty. One evening a poor man and his son, a little boy, sat by the way side, near the gate of an old town in Germany. The father took a loaf of bread, broke it, and gave half to his b?y. “Not so, father,” said the boy, “I shall not eat until after you. You have been working all day for small wages, to sup port me, and you must be very hungry; I shall wait until you are done.” “You speak kindly, my son,” replied the pleased father ; “your love to me does me more good than my food, and those eyes of yours remind me of your deai mo ther, who has left us, and who told you to love me as she used to do; and indeed my boy, you have been a great strength and comfort to me ; but now that I have eaten the first morsel, to please you, it is your turn now eat. “Thank you, father; but break this piece intwo and take a little more, for you see the loaf is not large, and you require much more than I do.” “1 shall divide the loaf for you, but eat it, I shall not. 1 have abundance; and let us thank God for his great goodness in giv ing us food, and in giviug us what is bet ter still, cheerful and contented hearts.— He who gave us the living bread from heaven to nourish our immortal souls, how shall he not give us all other food that is necessary to support our mortal bodies ?” The father and son thanked God, and then began tocut theloaf in pieces I heir fru gal meal. But as they cutone portion of the loaf, there fell out several large pieces of gold of great value. The little boy gave a shout of joy, and was springing forward to grasp the unexpected treasure, when he was pulled back by bis father. “My son, my son ! ’ he cried, “do not touch that money—it is not ours.” “But whose is it, father if it is not ours?” “1 know not as yet to whom it belongs, but probably it was put there by the baker through some mistake We must inquire.” “But, father, interruptad the hoy, “you are poor and needy, and you have bought the loaf; and then the baker may tell a lie.” “I will not listen to you my boy ; I bought the loaf, but did not buy the gold in it. If the baker sold it to me in igno rance, l shall not be so dishonest as to take the advantage of him; remember Him who told us to do to others as we would have others do to us; lam poor, but that is no sin. If we share the poverty of Je sus, let us also share his goodness and trust in God. We may never be rich but we may always be honest. We may die of starvation, but God’s will be done, should we die in doing it. Yes my boy, trust in God and walk in his ways, and you shall never be pul to shame. Now run to the baker and bring him here,and I will watch the gold until he comes.” So the boy ran for the baker. “Brother workman, said the old man, “you have made some mistake, and almost lost your money,” and lie showed the ba ker the gold, and told him how it had been found. “Is it thine ?” said the father “if it is take it away.” “My father, baker, is very poor and—” “Silence my child ; put me not to shame by thy complaints. lam glad we have saved this man from losing his money.” The baker had been gazing alternately on the honest father and eager boy, and the gold which lay glittering on the green turf. “Thou art indeed an honest fellow,” said the baker, “and my neighbour David, the flax dresser, spoke but the truth when he said that thou wert an honest man.” “Now l shall tell thee about the gold. A stranger came to my shop three days ago, and gave me that loaf, and told me to sell it cheaply, or give it away tothe honestest poor man in the city. 1 told David to send thee to me as a customer this morning.— As thou wnuldst not take the loaf for no thing, 1 sold it thee,as thou knowest.for the last penny in thy purse; and the loaf with all its treasures —and certain,it is not small— is thine; and God grant thee a blessing too.” The poor father bent his head to the ground, while tears fell from his eyes.— His boy ran and putbis arms about his neck and said—“l will always, like you, my fa ther, put trust in God and do whtt is right; 1 am sure he will never put us to shame.” From the Washington Republic. The Cotton Crop of tUo l ulled States. Messrs. Editors —My attention lias been frequently called to this subject of late, and 1 verily believe that an essay, or rather tieatise, upon the cotton of the Uni ted States, would be one of the most val uable that could be given to the public | l would first consider the peculiarity of the 1 plant in the latitudes in which we cultivate it, the difference between it ajid that which is produced in other parts of the world, the demand and production, the possible competition, and all the ramified topics connected with this fruitful theme. ‘‘The upland cotton region in the Uni ted States may be said to lie between 30° 4 35° of north latitude,extending,in lenqth from east to west, from southern Virginia to Rio Grande. Its first and most stt iking characterestic within these bounds is, that it is an anua! growth, and bears an anual crop, like wheat or corn. There is the regularreason of growth, flower, fruit, (if I may use this expression) and decay. It is supplied with regular rains, and is growth, in due time, is arrested by frost. The sap of the plant, instead of being employed in the formation of leaf and woody fiber, is expended in the production of its pods and seeds. Instead of aspiring to the character of a tree, the whole cot ton field presents a uniform appearance, the plant seldom exceding six feet in height, with numerous lateral branches. The crop is also uniform in appearance, and staple,and is nearly all ready to be gather ed about the same period. It is, besides, a beautiful plant. The cotton field in blossom is highly ornamental; and the snow-white appearance when the bollsare opened is, if possible, still more so. The yield is more abundant in consequence of the medium size of the plant, the circum stance of its vigor being exhausted in the production of its fruit, while the uniform ity, strength and firmness of the staple is precisely that which peculiarly fits it for ninety-nine hundredths of the cotton fa bricsentering into the ordinary use and consumption. To show how much the fruit is influenced by climate and locality, I may cite the well known fact, that the upland cotton seed, when carried to the sea coast, and to the south of latitude 30°, changes, in two years’ time, to the black seed and long staple, and so vice versa. “South of latitude 30°, there is a contin ual effort of nature to form wood, leaves and blossoms, at the expense of the fruit; and beyond the region offrost, itgradually becomes a perennial, sometimes a tree— of course, a thin barer, its staple irregular silky and weak ; perhaps better adapted to some deilcate fabrics,and comparatively united consumption. For this reason, the American upland cotton need fear no rival within the tropics, either in the West lndies.the Brazils or India. It is true that Egypt lies north of 30°, but that part of Africa being on the Western side of that hemisphere, the climate corresponds with 20° on the Eastern side. It seems now to be admitted, that, from the peculi arity of climate and position, no part of the globe can rival or supersede the U. Sta’es in this invaluable production, unless it be the British possessions in Australia ; and the distance is too great, if the same arti cle could be produced to transport it to the European market in preference to other articles produced in those countries. It seems to be the peculiar gift of Provi dence to our favored land. “At one time there was thought to be danger of over-production ; but recent statistics prove that the danger lies in the deficiency of the supply, and hence the steady rise in price. As to the increaseof production, it cannot be as rapid as here tofore; the easily cultivated uplands of cclton States having been pretty generally occupied, and a large portion of them worn out. But there are still large bodies of low land west of the Mississippi, Red river, &c., capable of being brought into cultivation. Cotton, at twelve cents, is a better crop than sugar at six; and conse quently, the rise in price will tend to check the establishment of sugar plantations.— Nothing can surpass the comforts and ad vantages of a well-regulated cotton plan tation in G eorgia, Alabama and Mississip pi. The labor is light, healthy, and does not occupy the time so er.tiiely as to prevent, the planter from raising an abun dance of provisions for the sustenance of his people; and even for providing them clothing. The planter generally lives in the midst of his people, and sees to all their wants ; and whatever may be said or thought by those who are not personally acquainted with their situation, they are a happy and contented race, with strong mutual attachments between them and the master’s family. “I do not mean to pursue the subject further, although I believe it would not be difficult to write a volume, if I were to view it in all its hearings. H. M. Bkackenkiijge.” without religion, is only a kind of deadreckoning—an endeavor to find our place on a cloudy sea by measur ing the distance we have run, but without any observation of the heavenly bodies. The object of all ambition should be to be happy at home. If we arc not happy there, we certainly cannot be happy else where. It is the best proof of the virtues of a family circle to see a happy fireside. The possession of superior talent cre ates more wishes than it gratifies. Agricultural Societies. An appeal has been made to the Agri culturists of the middle Atlantic States, to form a grand Central Association to meet in Baltimore. The appeal comes home to the pockets, the patiiotism, and the happiness of the whole planting communi ty, and will apply here as well as in Mary land or Virginia. We extract a portion of the appeal from the American Farmer. It has been said : “The patriarch pupil maybe learning, Still, dying, leave his lesson ha I fun I earned.' And how true is this of agriculture, where the great book of nature, in its mystery and its truth, has to be forever studied ; and science, art, and all contem porary means examined and exhausted for expounding it ? Can any intelligent agriculturist doubt for a moment that, as a mere matter of interest, a matter of dol lars and cents, he would not be vastly the gainer by an association with such a so ciety ? Asa matter of pleasure and per sonal gratification, he must also seek a connexion, unless indeed lie would prefer to make his life a solitude and his avoca tions a monotony in which one day would describe the cycle. The agricultural interest of the country requires a concentrated and well-directed public opinion. In t lie absence of any organization to create and give expansion and direction to such opinion, laterally nothing: has been done by the Government for agriculture. It is at the end of sixty years without its department or bureau,or hardly records euough existing among its archives at Washington—if we except a few huddled away in one corner of the Patent office—to show that such an inter est as agriculture has existence among us. Yet agriculture is the basis and support of all other interests. Its surplus products spreads the sail of commerce, and starts the shuttle of the manufacturer ;it feeds all, and clothes all; “like the heart, it gives vitality, life, and motion to the whole body politic ; and, let its mighty pulsations once iie stopped or impeded, and a general prostration follows.” It is time the agricultural community appreciated more fully their numerical strength and their moral power. In no country is the landed interest or the independence and position of the free holder so little valued and appreciated as in our own. Placed on his own indepen dent domain, away from the influence of those luxuries that enervate the body, and those associations that may corrupt the mind, with no bargaining, chaffering occupations to whet the soul for avarice, and dry up the sources of a generous hos pitality ; the firm friend of the State that he supports by unequal taxes levied upon his lands; always conservative, loving liberty, and fostering and sustaining those institutions of education and religion upon which it most safely reposes, still, although associated with a majority as strong as five to one, if he does not himself actually defer to this majority in all things, he is more often looked upon as occupying a position neither enviable for its station nor disirable for any emoluments it confers. For all this, it is true, he has generally most himself to blame. The honors of the Senate, or the bar, the respectability of professional and political life, or the wealili created by trade, are objects often proclaimed as those mostly coveted. Yet how uncertain are these in the pursuit, and often how unsatisfactory in enjoy ment ? The difficulty heretofore lias been to render agriculture attractive to the young and ardent aspirer after distinction in some form ; and hence the misapplication, and almost total waste of talent and energy to the country, as exhibited in our over crowded professions, the thronged arena of political life, and the brokers’ boards and stock jobbing associations of our large commercial cities. But through these societies, and the e clat and distinction they will contribute to give to agriculture, with the aid of a litera ture by which this profession as others may now be studied—the esprit de corps which is likely to bind the freeholders of the soil in closer ties—our young men of talents and education are likely many of them to be attracted to the pursuit of agri culture, and to prefer its more suie re wards, its calm philosophy, its tranquil en joyments, that “peace within and harmony to all around,” to any uncertain honors the professions can offer, or to any mere sordid pursuit of Mammon. But, like the Grecian father, who annu ally took his sons to witness the Olympic games to inspire them with emulation, or school them for the contest, they should never fail to he in attendance at these an niversary shows in honor and promotion of agriculture. Asa school, then, for his sons the American planter and farmer should encourage these associations, always at tending them himself as an active partici pating party, and not as an idle spectator. Our great Washington gloried in the name of an agriculturalist; he realized and fully appreciated the dignity of the calling, nor was his groat mind above giv ing attention to all its details. The world has generally known him but as a hero and salesman, but we, his grateful countrymen thould also cherish his memory as the ar dent friend and great patron of agriculture. Amidst the councils of cabinets, and from the head of armies, he actually found time (such was his love of agriculture) to direct it: a general way, through a correspond- BOOK AND JOB PRINTING, Will he executed in the most approved sfylt and on the best terms, at the Office of the SCTTTZEPsIT TB.IBTJITE —BY— WM. B. HARRISON. NUMBER 22. ence with bis overseer, the tillage of h)i fields at Mount Vernon, and also to con duct an able correspondence with Sir John Sinclair on agricultural subjects, the fruits of which his countrymen ase now enjoy ing. On the very subject of these agricultural associations and institutions, Washington thus forcibly expressed himself in his last message to Congress : “This species of establishment contributes doubly to the increase of improvement, by stimulating to enterprise and experiment, and bydrawing to a common centre the results evervwheie of individual skill and observation, and spreading them thence over the wlio'e na tion. Experience accordingly has shewn that they ore very cheap instruments of immense national benefit." Can the rural benefit of these old Atlan tic States, with so many thronging memo ries connected with the past, better testify their gratitude to the Father of his country, or better serve that beloved countiy itself than by emulating the zeal of this great and good man in the cause of agriculture? Washington would have been one of the first in time of peace to join an Agricultu ral Society, as he was in war to join the standard of his country. One of his hum blest virtues we might at least seek to imitate. Quick Digestion—Healthy Food. —Ol all the articles of food, boiled rice is digested in the shortest time—an hour. As it also contains eight-tenths nntricious matter, it is a valuable substance for diet. Tripe and pig’s feet are digested almost as rapidly. Apples, if sweet and ripe, ate next in order. Venison is digested almost as soon as apples. Roasted potatoes are digested in half the time required by the same vegetable boiled, which occupy three hours and a half; more than beef or mutton, Bread occupies three hours and a quar ter. Stewed oysters and boiled eggs are digested in three hours and a half—on hour more than is required by the samo article raw. Turkey and goose are digest ed in two hours and a half, and an botir and a half sooner than chicken. Roasled veal, pork, and beef, occupy five hours and a half —the longest of the articles of food. —Scientific American. Sayings Worthy of itcmenilirance. The grave buries qgery error, covers every defect, extinguishes every resent ment. From its peaceful bosom spring none but fond regrets and tender recollec tions. Dr. Abernethy used to tell his scholars that most human maladies arise from two causes—stuffing and fretting. Nollii ng sits so gracefully upon children, and nothing makes them so lovely, as habitual respect and dutiful deportment towards their parents and superiors. It makes the plainest face beautiful, and gives to every common action, a nameless but peculiar charm. Avoid a man that is all jaw. Remember the more a person talks, the less he knows. It’s your lean geese that are always cack lingnot the fat ones. Recollect this, and avoid a man that has got the gift offgab*’ as you would one that lias the measles. Vanity has many silly tricks ; despotism many cruel devices; love, many strange ways : but folly is constant. Zeal, not rightly directed, is pernicions, for as it makes a good cause better, so it makes a bad cause worse. Many have attempted to define briefly what Poetry is—few with more success than Dr. Shelton Mackenzie, who thus de scribes it :—“The best thoughts in the best language.” When man is capable of self-knowledge, he rarely is deceived as to his own fate ; and presentiment is oft but jubgment in disguise. The aim of an honest man’s life, is not the happiness which serves only himself, but the virtue which is useful to others. There is this difference between a thank ful and an unthankful man : the one is al ways pleased in the good he has done, and the other only once in what he has re ceived. The most common things are the most useful : which shows both the wisdom and gooduess of the great Father of the world. Everybody first declares that there is nothing like love, and then attempts to liken it to something. P< rsonc etidowed with strong feelings and passions, often, like children with a box of jewels, squander their precious things with out knomrtg their value. We may respect where we cannot love, but love necessitates respect. When one was speaking ill of another in the presence of Peter the id real, he at first listened with much attention, and then inter rupted him by saying, ‘-is there no fair side to the character of the person you arc speak ing of ?
