Iniie Berrien’s Speech.
One of this distinguished gentleman's
greatest efforts in the cause of the South,
was made on Tuesday night last, before
perhaps, tbe largest audience ever as
sembled in the Theatre. It was, in
every respect, a master-piece, and
however much there may exist differ
ences of opinion as to the policy or ef
ficacy of tbe measures proposed by
him, to secure “ security for the fu
ture,” wc cannot see how any South
ern man, who listened to the tale of
Southern wrongs and Federal usurpa-
pation of power to perpetrate those
wrongs, as told by our able Senator,
can ever again, with unblushing front,
raise his voice in extenuation ot the late
acts of Congress,
Judge Berrien commenced his speech
by saying that he came there as the
representative ol no party, and with no
partisan feelings; but that be came as
the representative of the interests of
tbe whole people of Georgia, whose
Senator he was. Having in the most
lucid manner traced the onward pro

its present commanding influence ;_

Hai the South been Cheated?
The submission leaders tell the peo
ple of Georgia that the South has great
reason to rejoice at the action of Con
gress on the slavery question—that the
South has gained a great victory, and
that Southern rights have not, lor thir
ty years, been as secure as they are
now. What is the impression of can
did minds in the North on the sub
ject? When we find influential jour
nals acknowledging that “the North has
cheated the South,” it should cause
Southern men to doubt whether they
have any thing to rejoice over, and noth
ing to excite their indignation. The
New York Herald says:
“The North cheated tbe South in the
admission of California. The North
were convioced of it—they felt ashnm
ed of it, and alarmed about it; and
they endeavored to make up in their
own self-abasement, in the passage of
the fugitive bill, the atonement for their
greediness in seizing the whole of tbe

reaffirmed the doctrine advanced by ^ or an rd jracd iiy an act of dis-
nivance or protection. Yet it does not
become Southern men to pour out hys
terical professions of gratitude and
sympathy for such action on the pari of
such persons—for low, indeed, will they
have sunk when they will be ready to
beg as a boon, or accept as a charity,
the. performance of a simple duty on
the part ol their Northern brethren.—
We do not believe that the South has
sunk quite as low as that yet, or that
she is yet prepared to be “ thankful for
the smallest favors,” as some of her
nominal organs are in her behalf, adopt
ing the motto of the poet:
“ Contented whb little,
And essty with more.”
The appeals made to tbe pockets of
the merchants have been succeeded by
lotfirTdf flicflamii hoft addressed to the
manufacturers. New England at present
being in rather a stormy stale, the New
York Journal of Commerce thus essays
to poor oil on the troubled waters. It
will be observed that tbe appeal is not
made to the memories of Bunker Hill,.
&c.* usually so forcibly resorted to for
ornamental purposes, but a severely
practical application to the pocket.
We call attention to the fact merely
ns such, not for any invidious purpose,
since the Journal doubtless understands
how to come home to the business and
hosnmes of those it addresses:
“ Manufactures Extra.—The man-
alactares of New England are just at
him in Congress, that the admission of
California with her present constitution
was a violation of the Constitution of
the United States, adding that however
touch it grieved him to find some of bis

nity, differing with him on this subject,
be would not so wrong the people of his
Slate or stultify himself as to abandon,
tram private feelings, a position which
be called God to witness was the hon
est conviction of bis mind. He then
took np the Territorial .bills for Utah
and New Mexico, and proved that their
admission without the proviso, was no
source of congratulation to "the South ;
that we had gained nothing by it, not
even the abandonment by the North, of
a principle since tbe proviso was with
held, because it was believed unneces
sary, and Northern members stood
pledged to apply it, when it should ap
pear necessary fur the exclusion of
slavery. Having ably defended bis
vole on the Texas boundary bill and
appropriation, he turned his attention
for some time to the abolition of the
slave trade in the District or Colombia.
By this measure, be abiy contended
that Congress had assumed and exer
cised the right to abolish slavery itself
in the District, since tbe penalty for
carrying a slave there was a manumis
sion. Having reviewed all the mea
sures of tbc last Congress on the sub
ject of slavery in tbeir respective order
ot importance, he adverted to the call
of the Convention in Georgia, which
call he heartily approved. He advo
cated a manly and firm coarse in that
Convention, aod recommended as
means of bringing onr Northern broth
ers to their senses, a discriminating tax
oo Northern goods after they bad been
introduced into the State and become
the property of Georgia Citizens. He
also recommended that tbe Convention
should on the first day of the session,
enter npon their journal a resolution
that whatever should be tbe action pro
posed after due deliberation, that ac
tion should be subject to the ratifica
tion of the people of Georgia before it
should have the force and effect of law.
He was decidedly opposed to seces
sion or a dissolution of the Union at the
present time.
Before concluding his remarks, Judge
Berrien threw a wet blanket over that
portion of our fellow citizens, who
whilst they are afraid to denounce tbe
i • - . • odious adjustment as aggressive and

the wall, aud out of California entirely,
and then jtow down in tbe mosl abject
humiliation to offer the impracticable in
demnity of the fugitive bill.
“If California had been honestly di
vided, the South would have been ap
peased; but this fugitive law, while it
affords no security to the South, no in
demnity for their exclusion from Cali
fornia, only exasperates the abolitionists
to drive the Sooth to revolt. The ad
justment is tending in that direction."

Facto to be remembered.
Who are Union wen?
They art, the men who wish the gov
ernment administered according to
the consiiiutioD, that instrument pre
served in its purity, and who will resist
infractions tipoo it.
They are the men, who believe that
Southern Rights cannot be sustained by
submission; and that acquiesence now
whh gross and palpable injustice, will
lead to suebrfortber aggressions, as will
sever the Unioa or render the South tbc
Ireland of ibis government.
Who are Disunionists ?
They are the men who Say, and say
truly, that this Union most be dissolved
if the fugitive slave law connot be en
forced, and yet, who by submission
now, tell the North they will submit
again, and thus invite the North to ag
gressions which will end in disunion.
They are the men, who made 36® 30’
their fighting line, but receded from it
when the country came np to it, and
who by' submission now under the cry
of Union, that “masked battery.” will
recede again, and by thoir continued

A Havana correspondent of the New
Orleans Picayune, in a-recent letter,
says:
“Among the “prominences” at the
opera is H*me. Calderon de la Barca, I
lady of the Spanish Mioister at Wash
ington, .who is here for her health. She
is an intellectual looking woman, and,
judging from her deportment, sprightly
and animated in her conversation. The
on dit gives her credit for plain speaking
sometimes; for example, it iaaaid she
told tho Captain General in a straight
forward way “ that Spain mast give ap
the idea of bolding Cuba, for that not

of a little asthmelic piece of machinery;
which, in a room to itself, keeps at
work, puffing and blowing, from morn
ing to night. Mr. Hacker has made,
since be began, if we understood him
rightly, some eighty cars, of various
classes—some for our own, some for
the Charlotte, some for the Greenville
road.
He is now finishing several bag
gage cars, and a passenger car, which
deserves especial notice. It is really
a beautiful aud very stable piece of
wotkmanship, anil when put upon the
road will, we guarantee, in finish, £nd
capacity for durability, rival the best
Northern work ever brought here. It
is built in such a way as to render it
almost impossible that it should give
way. Between the in and outside
planks an arch of iron extends, so as to
guard against all pressure from above.
Ribs of iron are placed latterally,
through which rivets pass, within short
distances, and bold the whole firmly
together. The paioling now being done
is of superior finish; and the interior is
constructed on a new and exceedingly
convenient plan. Mr. Hacker, a gal
lant man not forgetful, of the duty all
men owe to the gentler sex, has ar
ranged the car especially for their com
fort.
“ We confess we derived very great
pleasure from this visit, and viewed the
arrangements of Mr. Hacker with great
satisfaction. This is the kind of patri
otism which tells for the prosperity of
South Carolina. Happy will it be lor
the whole South, if, imitating this model
ot industry, she feels the necessity
of being independent in every branch
of trade and mechanism. Half-a-dozen
establishments like this, two or three
Graoitevilles, a few steamers sent to
Europe with our cotton, and return
ing with articles needed, in exchange,
will do more to bring our Northern
friends to their senses than all the reso
lutions which may be passed till dooms
day. We cannot speak in terms of
too high commendation of Mr. Hacker,
and of those who encourage him. The
direction of the railway deserve par
ticular approbation for determining to
pat native cars on the road. The ex
ample set by Mr. Hacker will rouse
the emulation of our native workmen,
and end the madness of promoting for
eign manufactures—a practice which
has drained the South of her best means,
kept her resources undeveloped, and
stifled tbe infant euergies of her sons."

The exploring party left the city of

the outskirts of the town the first Mor

twelve hundred wagons will have

A Chivalrous ITIfc.
The Frankfort correspondent ol the
Louisville Journal, in his letter ol Mon
day, furnishes the particulars of the
chivalrous conduct of a heroic wife, a;
Paris, Ky., in the following extract:
“ The blue grass region was the
scene, on Wednesday last, of an anom
alous aud tragical occurrence. It is
the more tragical because the principal
actor (or actress,) is a woman. Be it
remembered, also, that she moves in
good society, and is, or was, as much
respected as any lady in Paris. May
her good name lose nothing by her
chivalry and conjugal affection!
Three men of bully reputation went
the house of a gentleman in Paris,
Ky., and asked his wife where he was,
avowing their business to be to tie him
op and whip him for slapping the mu
latto child of onfc of their chums. She
replied that he was in his shop. They
went off, and she followed them into the
cers for the collection of debts swarm
about like the frogs, in olden time r
plagued Egypt. Debt makes a slave
and robs him of his toil, his content
ment, his independence, and too oftet>
his integrity.
Debt cheats honesty and drives out
virtue. It sneers at purity and polute*
innocence. It betrays friendship^iw*!^'
bribes fidelity. Slates ar<& weakened
and made the prey of the money chan
gers by debt. Countries once the fath
erland of happy and contented people,
are now the scenes of rapine and plun
der by a horde of pampered dema-**
gogues and oppressors, while the -sweat!
and toil of the emaciated poverty-strick
en plebians can no longer sufficiently
fatten the soil to make it satisfy their
hunger and the lax gatherer.

The Carrier Pigeons of Sir John
Boss.
A Glasgow paper having announced
the arrival of carrier pigeons from Sir
John Ross, the Ayr Advertiser ol Tburs-
day gives a detailed account of this “in
teresting and unprecedented arrival:”—
“It will be recollected that Sir John Ross,
in his recent interesting despatches,
alluded to four carries pigeons presented
to him by Miss Dunlop, of AnnauhiH,
near Kilmarnock, on leaving Ayr for
the purpose of proceeding to the Arctic
regions. On Sabbath week, the 19th
inst., two pigeons of the carrier species,
were noticed in the neighborhood oi
Annanhill, and suspicion was soon efi-
cited that they were two of the folr
presented to Sir John. One of the piji
eons were caught at Annack, and ^
brought to Annnnliill in the course ot
Friday, where it was recognised by all
who had seen the bird previous to its
departure with the Felix. The pigeon*

introduced into its old domicil, bow-
the pigeon nt once flew to the iden

being upwards of forty compartments
in the structure. This coincidence
strongly strengihens the supposition
that the bird is really what it is supposed
to be—one of the companions of the
gallant old navigator. The feathers

spatches, but the note, if any were at

the second pigeon has not been secured.

her husband, and found him tussling
