v "i- tUeeMg Chronicle $ Sentinel i ;Y WILLIAM S. JONES &f)roniu£ ani) Scnuuti. " a Wa, a a • THURSDAY MORNING,.... SBPTi 18. SAMUEL BARNETT, Associate Editor. Tile Texas Boundary Bill. Os this bill H may bo truly said, as of most of iis Compromise measures, tiiat if the South any complaint to make, it is against herse’f. Passed by a majority of her own members, again! a majority of Northern members, it arrays Southern men against Southern, not £ ilhern men against Northern. Against the unanimous vote of the free toilers : t was car rions hy the unnuimou vote of several Southern States, hud a majority vote of the majority of Southern States. Both of she Senators, and a majority of the Repreaantatives of Georgia, voted for it The entire delegation /romTcxai!* vot'd for it. Now York, New Jersey, Michi gan sod Ohio gave majorities against it. The Southern majority for it Was 21; the Northern majority against it 11. The origin of the question was a disputed boundary, at firet between the State of Texas and New Mexico, thin between Texas and the United States. The tide of Texas was techni cal and the course bo b of Texas and of the United States, in relation to it, inconsistent. Texas had ; tiered, from 1833 to 1841, to treat with New Mexico as a foreign power. The United States has alternately treated New Mexico as foreign territory, and as a portion of Texas. When trie United States was subro gated by the event of the war to the claims of Mexico iu this territory, the controversy was shifted into one between Texas and the United States. We bslievo the latter to have been estopped from a denial :,f the right of Texas, by til i act. of declaring war on the assumed title of Tet-ts. Whatever the merits of the question of title,'‘meritorious or technical, the United States had a tight to propose thß pur chase of the doubtful or he undoubted ti le. She did propose it, the members from Texas tinan jinou -ly voting for tho proposi ion. The character of the slave laws of lha coun try is rot affected by the transfer. Slaves can, beyond a' question, ha hold tn the ceded ter r i lory. The effect cf the cession upon the remaining portion of th#now organized terri tory of New Mexico, is to extend the law tole rating slavery (if it needed extension) over the uninhabited end uncivilized portion, in which, iu ihu opinion of etna.., uiiti-slaveiy laws might otherwise have prevailed. If slavery tails to go there, it is the fault, not of the law, but of ihos. il. If that be the cause of failure, as it alone can be, then the failure would equally have occurred had it remained a part of Texas; and the only effect of it would have been to build up in Texas a divided tit rest. The division was advantageous both to Ttxa and the ceded country. Tha ir.habi tants ■:{ il'o latter were mostly of a different race, vvi'h different wishes and interests. To iiav compelled an unwilling connection with Text-s vvoulu have been unrecessary to the latter and p{ j udicial to both. The remu val of internal dissensions is a blessing, not a curse. If die country would have been free, the biii leaves it free; if slave, ti e bill leaves it slave so:!. It has separated two incongruous races to their mutual gratification and interest. Tnip measure, passed by the votes of South ern Representatives in die proportion of sto 3, is the act of Congress, by which the South ern light* Convention declares that “ the Southern States being a minority in federal numbers, I ;>vo been forced to surrender terri tory unquestionably an \ legitimately their own to the use and eojoyaientof the hireling Sta.es.” We a? appy to ho able to state that a ve>-y leading Southern Rights paper once entertain ed a d tT rent opinion on tho subject, and thus express.s. J -reasons sufficient in its judgment to i justify the measure: “As to the Texas boundary question, it is suffi cient to say, that it is a matter of free choice for Texas to deckle to accept the terms or not, as she pleases, which tiro offered by the scheme of Com promise. • - She is not required, s he is not to be forced to part with any portion of her terri., ry,’’ The Weather.— Saturday was the hottest of r,!l tha hot days of the past week. The highest point reached by the thermometer in our counting room on the afternoon of that day was full 92 degrees. On Sunday morning abo t two o’clock a sudden change in the temperature took place —the wind being from the North East, accom panied with rain. -At BA. M., the thermome er stood at 60— a difference of 30 degrees within twelve hours. — Halt Amer. With us, Sunday was the warmest day of the previous week, the thermometer ranging about 90°., Sunday night about 8 p. m., the rain commenced with tho wind from the norlheast, and on Monday morning the liter mome’.er had fallen about 27°., since which it has been unusually cool for :he season. llkaly’s Picture of Webster.— -A corres pondent of the New York Express, writing from Boston, says: “While conversing with Mr. Healy to day, I was informed by him that he had been engaged upon this painting for a period of four yenrs Its value is SIO,OOO. Many reports have gone abroad concerning its final destination, but the iru'tlt of the matter is this: lie tells me that it is his property —that he inteuds to exhibit it In most, all of tho main cities in the United Sla'es, and after that it is to be purchased and present ed to the city of Boston, and placed within the walls of Faneuil Hail.

TO MAJOR JOHN 11. HOWARD. No. 4. You wrote a letter not long ago, directed to Judge Nicoil, dated 20th July, 1851, which you no doubt intended, and expected to pro duce a sensation. With the exception of a few lines of adulation, penned by the editor of the Sou'herc Sentinel, in which your article appeared, and dictated, I have no question, by a spirit of kindness to the expectant author, I have neither seen it written about, comment ed upon, or even copied. Haw cruel—or rather ungrateful—most be the disunion press which fails to c .nnnend your piece, designed, I have no doubt, to do their cause much good, . hut destined to accomplish for it, as much harm as a ti ing so harmless in its nature can do. How far wrong was Judge Nicoil not to reply to you through some public print ? And how h j i«d, (as you think.) to the interest of its cause, is the Uaion press not to devote the whole of its time and energies to attempting to refute the positions which you have so bodly laid down, and so clearly established. IBm a man of tender heart; and ra her than you should be disappointed in seeing your letter fall si ill-born front the womb of the press, I will galvanize into it a temporary life by bestowing upon it a pas.-ing notice. 1 have no douht yuu consider it of much moment,that public opinion should be mould ed by a letter from your pen, and therefore you wrote one, and put “John H. Howard” at the button of it. - nt sure, to see one’s name in print.” The editor of the Sentinel—with a due de ference to your own opinion, I suppose—calls on his subscribers to read “that letter” —not Mr. Cobb’s, but yours, (for anx'ions as the Disunion press was t> have “that letter” of Mr. Cobb, they now display some backward ness in ( üblishing it)—saying of State sove reignty, that “Major Howard has studied this question long and thoroughly, and is as well acquainetd with it in aii its bearings as any man in the S ate.” He who will impose upon himself the task of reading your milk and ciderish affair, will— provided he tsnot far gone wi h the rabies carolinensis, (the Carolina madness, in pi .in English,) come to the con clusion that you are as little acqun-nted with •he subject of which you affect to treat, as any other man in the State. But I will proceed to examine very briefly, some of your dicta. You say “we must have ndemnity for the past and security for the fu tu:e.” You mean by this, I suppose, that the Federal Government must dismember Califor nia, a sovereign State. This was your policy in the McDonald Convention. The resolu tion which you favored was very happily voted down. Why, my dear sir, don’t you know that Congress has as much right to dismember Georgia as to partition California? What a beauti ul pink of consistency on the subject of State sovereignty are you’ “We must unite in defence of sound prin ciples.” I have very little hope that you will ever perceiye, much les3 advocate “sound principles.” “It is unnecessary to talk of rights, unless we have the power to defend and protect 'hem, A right is a blank without a remedy. if we have no prwer, we have no right that we can enjoy or defend ” It is very true that “it i: unnecessary to talk of rights unless we have the power to defend and prol.ct them." And l may hero speak a word in season, in reference to the right of Secession, over which you and your party make so much aoise. What is the use of “talking” of this ‘ right” unless we have the “power to protect and defend” it ? And if wo have the power to protect and defend it, when wo have cause to exercise it, what matters it wiih us whether i be a peaceable right or not ? If it is not re cognized as a peaceable right, I suppose wo must go to war and force its recognition as such, and thus quarrel and fight for Secession in order to show that it is peaceable ! “A rirht is a blank without a remedy ” This is th?. first time I ever knew that a right required a remedy. I thought that wrongs re quired remedits. Speaking of the Federal Government, you say “it has neither body nor soul.” Did you, or did you not get this sentence from Gov. Troup ? If yea, state why you did not stick on yo ir quotation marks. Also elate whether or not, you have plagiarized from divers and sundry other powers/ “Much thou hast said which 1 know when And where thou stol’st from other men, Whereba ’tin plain thy light and gifts Are all but plagiary saifta.” You devote a good deal of labor to proving that there could be no United States Govern ment without the Constitution. You wou d have been more profitably employed in prov ing that two and two make four. You must go on and favor us with extracts from the Constitution. For this we thank you. Those of us who have labored through your letter, can now glbry that we have seen a part, if not'he whole of the Constitution. After enumerating several clauses of that instrument, you favor us with the knowledge that “there arß other clauses of the Constiiu tion, equally obligatory as the foregoing.” in your next, please give us the clauses which are no* “equally obligatory as the fore goiag.” You consider tho Federal Government the creature of one State, and not of all the States jointly. The man who thinks so, must be so deeply in the fogs as to be past the hope of re demption. Why the very term “Secession,” which you an so fond of using, implies that the Federal Government is the creature of all tho States acting jointly. Admitting your vagary to be true, what would a State Secede from—herself? Admitting it to be true, “Se cession” is not the term for you to employ You should use tho word “uiinihilation.” And when a Stale determined no longer to be un der the control of the General Government, you should say she destroyed that Government, and not that she Seceded from it. •‘The power of a state, in its relation with the other states, has been compared to the feeb'eand humble relation winch a county bears to a Stato.” Only those on one side of the same mental calibre as some whom I might mention—can you guess who?—on the other, assert any such doctrine. “The S ate makes compacts with other States, and has the political power to enforce them.” The Union, you have stated, in a former part ofyour article, is a compact between the States. If one state should disregard this compact by AUGUSTA, GA. FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1851. secession, have the balance ihe “political pow er to enforce” it? And if they have, may they do it through their cotnmou agent, the Federal Government—or how would you have it done ? Or do yon mean that compacts ate to be en forced between states only when the violating party is willing to be forced t Or do you make seme kinds ot compacts capable of being en forced, and others incapable of being enforced ? If so, is the Union a compact of the former or latter class ? My deal sir, you should be more definite, and, if possible, you should have e'earer conceptions than you display of those things of which you treat. Had you written an essay upon popg-uts snd small-beer, pos sibiy you might have treated your subject more lucidly. Tho direction of the Roman critic et? spiritedly rendered by Francis might be cl service to yce in ycur next attempt at composition:— “Sumite maleriam vestris, qui scribitis ce quam viribus.” “Examine well, we writers weigh with care, What snits your genius—what your strength can bear.” “Having established, beyond doubt, tho lim ited character of the government, and the sov ereignty of each state, with its right of peacea ble secession,” Had I been within hearing and seeing distance of you, when you penned this sonteuce, 1 should probably have witnessed you clapping your hands and exclaimit g, “Eureka, Eureka I—l huve found tt—l have found it.” Th- right of peaceable seees ion is a quceitio vexata —a vexed question—in American poliuca! science. It is one of the opprobriu of politics. Perhaps 1 should hate said that it wis, not ts—one of the opprobria for you, Major Jack Howard ! have solved the question. What a pity it is Jefferson, Madison and Calhoun—he whom you worst) p —while in life, and he to whom you, with the rest of “the saints” expect to go after death, are not in life to rejoico with you and add their hosannahs to yours upon your ‘having established, beyond doubt," the “right of peacea!.!e secession,” ’Tis true they were inclined to ‘ doubt’ - any such piuceable right. But then they bad not the benefit of your “establishment." Could they have only lived up to the 21st July, 1851, (tho date of-your ieitor,) each might have said “ Lord, now letiest inou thy se vaut depart in peace, for mine have sfeen thy salvation!” Mr. Madison, when Alexander Hamilton, ’he argb-federalist, proposed that Neflr York should come into the Confederacy vv'th the right to secede, said “The Constitution re quires an adoption iu toto, and forever.” Ho also informed Hamilton in a letter upon the subject, -that “the idea of reserving tho right to withdraw, was started at R chnioud, and con sidered as a conditional ra'ification, which was it self abandoned as worse than a rejection.” The idea of secession theu.diduot escape the" vigilau.6 of the statesmen iu Virginia, tho land where states rights first came into vogue,at the very time of adopting the constitution. George Mason was tho father of states rights, and his opinions found an able champion in the el oquent Henry. Jefferson cast their opinions into a new mould, reduced their doc rines to a system, and formed the creed of ihe Repub lican party. And yet we are told by Madison, the “ father of the Constitution,” and a leaner in that party, that the “tdra of reserving the ri ht to withdraw,” which i: yourdojtrine of secess on, wa«, -n his ow i State and that of Jefferson, Mason and Henry, “abandoned as worse than a rejection ” Now, is it not a little strange that you Disuuionists, who pro fess to bo the only simon pure republicans, overlook the fact that your secession notions were first insisted upon by tha arch federalist Hamilton, and that they assumed a more tangible form in ihe traitorous counsels of tho Hartford Convention, during the dark hour of my—not ymr —coun ry ’a peril! In Mr. Jefferson’s inaugural of 4th March, 1801, he gives what he considers the “e-sen tial principles” of our government. Among these he speaks of “erection,” “a mild and safe corrective of abuses,’-' and of “ revolu tion where peaceable remedies are unprovi ded.” He mentions also, “absolute acquies cence in the decisions of the majority,” “ from which there is no appeal but to force.” Mr Jefferson had to fight the hydra of seces sion in his day, both as a stale man aid an offic al. fn various places throughout his writings, if you would'only read them, you could find a plenty of other authority, besides that adduced, against your disorganizing atnl dest;active doctrine. But perhaps you have been guided by the corrugation of that bright luminary* D. C Campbell, to look upon these views of Mr. Jefferson as “loose and disjoint ed;’ and that his opinions are given more compactly and maturely iu the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions although the extracts to .which I allude were penned subsequently to the said resolutions; and although no one, but you Disucionis s, can find any thing in those resolutions about secession. “ Keen optics it requires I ween Tosee what is not to be seen.” In 1814, when the question of secession was rife in New England, John Randolph, the pur est and only consistent Republican and States Rights mauol his time, wrote to the people of that Beciion of our country, the very hot-bed of Federalism, dissuading them against th s rash act, and urging them —using his own words—“to resort to Constitutional means ot redress only,” olearly showing, as the whole tenor of his letter shows, that he thought se cession unconstitutional, and any thing but peaceable in its consequences. William H. Crawford, the Republ can can didate for the Presidency, in 1821, says t tat he knows of “but one kind” of “cot Stitu tional resistance ” which can be made to a “ law of Congress,” “ and that is by elections.’’ He knows of but one ntber kind ot reais aucq, ‘ but it is unknown to the Constitution’’ “It is,” savs he, ‘ an appeal to the swird, and by the sword must that appeal be decided ” In bis letter written from Washington 26 h December, 1832, Gov. Troup says “The only constitutional remedy for unconstitution aljaws is the ballot-box.” “There is no power given in tho Constituti >n to resist unconstitu tional laws.” By referring to Congressional debates, 1832 and ’3, part Ist, p. 522, you will find that Mr. Calhoun, your political god, says, in speaking of power os divided between each Slate and the Federal Government as ihe common agent, to “ give to either party the exclusive right of judging, not only the share allotted to it, but of that allotted to the other, was to annul the division, ami would confer the whole power on the party vested with such right.” On page 505 be says, speaking of a resumption of delegated rights by a State, that it would be a “ breach,of the compact for which the Sta e, as a coidtnunity, would be responsible.” And yet in Lie teeth of all this authority, you have “estahh hed beyond doubt,” the “right of peaceable secession.” What a pity it is that Madison, and Jefferson, and Mason, and Hen ry, gud Randolph, and Ur&wford. and Troup, a'uJ Calhoun, did nut have you for their politi cs/ Gamaliel! You may be surprised that I have not attemp ted to answer the arguments by which you have “established beyond a doubt,” divers and sundry things. Had you presented a single argument. I would have treated it with the respect that had been due it. Finding none, I have taken the negative and supported it by the opinionsof those i who have weight with the Republican party — i but never with the Federal party or the Disunion ; party. You leap to conclusions and ‘cstablish mente’ with as much agility as that displayed j by a dandy jack in a circus. I commend your activity, but t'espiso your logic. You ask, “ought not every good man, every lover of law and order to pause, arid with his hand on his heart, reflect and examine for him self 1” Whether it is necessary for him to place his hand upon his heart or not, I shall not pre tend to say. Verily, every man should “pause,” and “reflect and examine for himself.” In these days of Jacobinism, disorganization and destruc tion, every man should reflect for himself, and stamp tho mark of Cain upon every enemy of his country and his country’s Union and Consti tution. You very kindly set out to p'ove to us that “we have a right to our slaves.” Hdd you not better favor us with proaf that “we have a right toqtll(ihorsea? You say your proof will be “satisfsftnory to all but abolitionists.” Do any but abolitionists d >ubt our right ? Why prove the right to those who admit it 1 Had you net better bring forward such logic as will have .-orne effect upon these who deny our right 1 Or have you hna the wisdom to see that you can prove onlv admitted facts 1 “If we were all upon one aide, the ballot-box would be ineffectual, ai we Are in the minority in Congress.” How then can you justify the folly of forming sectional parties, if you know the Northern sectional party will be stronger than the ’southern 1 You have a good deal to say about the Com promisebeing “wise, liberal and just.” Now, don’t you imagine Mr. Cobb is dreadfully “used up” by your “carrying on so,” in regard to his expression? He, no doubt, considers himself “demolished,” and asks— “Can minds celestial, so much wrath contain.” But I must draw my article to a close. I have bestowed upon your letter more attention than its intrinsic merits contain. There is but very little logic in your piece, and very little really des rvtng notice. Its only characteristics are bold nrd striking egotism, and assumption of “establishments,” together with verbosity put forth J ‘ With ail your flippant fluency of tonguo, it lost confident* when palpably most wrong.” Still charity demanded that your production should not pass altogether unheeded. For bring ing it ag i n before tho public* your most sincere thanks are due J acobin- The Christiana Outrage —VVe leaTii, by a telegraph 2 di-pa ch to Win B Reed, Esq , District Attorney of hiladeiphiu Coun ty, t: m J L Thoupton, Esq., Dist.

Conthaband Goods —Those of our merchant captains who have visit'd Rio, are yvcll aware of the pryint haiits of the Custom Houso officers at that port. Among those who had been fre quently subjected to an annoyance from thi9 was Captain Scott, of Baltimore ; as well known to the mercantile community as was his namo sake Martin K , of coon shooting notoriety, to the sporting world.

Scott had been so often overhauled by the characters above referred to, that he determined upon >evenge, which he accomplished in this wise s Having donned a sack coat of ample dimensions, he deposited in each capacious pocket a snapping turtle of his own importation, and which was not entered upon the manifest. Upon landing at the quay, ho was soon surrounded by a group of old associates, and while receiving their greetings, did not es cape the observation of two of the lynx-eyed officials, who, pressing close upon either side, soon discovered the “packages,” haid to the touch, and which of course were contraband.
