A Little Lectnre to my Dears.
We clip tiie following from “Punch’s Pocket
Rook,’’ for 1854, by An Old Maid of the
World:—
My dears—Lovo i3 like Chancery : it is a
deal easier to get into it than to get out again.
There are thousands of ways for the former,
bnt as for the latter, it can’t bo done noways.
Take my advice, my dears : never believe a
man before marriage, and never trust him after
wards. If men, my dears, were to pay, like
servants, for everything they broke, they would
not bo so fond of breaking their hearts for eve
ry pretty girl they saw. The fortune of a Roths
child couldn’t stand, my dears, against such a
ruinous amount of breakatres. Why I have
known a man’s heart break as often as an Ame
rican bank, and yet he would open the neott
day with the same brass plate on his face on
which you could plainly read “assurance,” and
his heart would go on issuing the same false
notes as before. Besides, what becomes of all
their broken hearts, I should like to know ?
Where do they all go to? Along with the old
moons, I suppose ; or they may be keeping
company, there’s no knowing where, with all
the pins that are lost, each heart being stuck
through with a pin like the curious insects in
a museum.
There’s no need to tell yoa, I’m sure, my
dears, about choosing n husband. A woman’s
instinct generally guides her into those little
matters. But this 1 will tell you, that husbands
differ as much as geese ; but the softest mind
is not always the worst. The softer your hus
band, the more pliable you will find him and all
the easier for you to twist him around your lit
tle finger. If husbands trusted more to their
wives, and lees to themselves, there would be
more happy marriages; but, until they learn
what is due to our gex, and are fully prepared
to pay it, that happy balance w ill never exist in
a household, which, to the husband, should bo
tho source of as much as a large balance is at
his banker’s ; but at present the wife is not al
lowed to have any share or interest in the one,
u r to participate in the other.
I will conclude, my dears, with giving you a
few rules with regard to the choke of husbands
in general, and though, my dears, I havo never
ventured on the stormy seas of matrimony my
self, [here the lair lecturer’s voice slightly trem
bled with emotion,] still I have watched from
the haven of single blessedness many of the
squalls and breezes that have taken place on
them, and have derived no small knowledge
from the numerous shipwrecks I have witness
ed in consequence of them ; and this knowl
edge I am only too willing to impart to all those
who nr*- anxious to embark for the United States.
I shall confine my observations, my dears, to
tho Email circle of my experience of men, such
as 1 have studied them round the tea table.
If a man wipes his feet on tho door mat be
fore coming into the room, you may be sure he
will make a good domestic husband. If a man
in snuffing the candles, snuffs them out, you
may lie sure he will make a stupid husband. If
a man puts his handkerchief on on his knee 6
while eating tea, you may be sure he will be a
: prudent husband. In the same way always mis
I trust the man who will not take the last piece
of toast of Sally Lunn, but prefers waiting for
the next warm batch. It is not unlikely ho will
mako a greedy, selfish husband, with whom you
will enjoy no “brown” at dinner, no crust at tea
no peace whatever at home. The man my
dears, who wears goloshes, and is careful about
wrapping himself up well before venturing into
the night air not unfrequently makes a good in
valid husband that mostly stops at home, and is
easily comforted w ith slops. The man who watch
es the kettle and prevents it boiling over, will
not fail my dears, in his married state, in exer
cising tho same care in always keeping the pot
boiling. The man who doesn’t take tea, ill
: treats the cat, takes snuff, and stands with his
1 back to the fire is a brute whom I would not ad
| vise you, my dears, lo marry upon any consid
; eration either for love or money, but most deci
; dedly not for love. But the man who when tea
j is over, is discovered to have had none is sure
to make the best husband. Patience like his de
serves being rewarded with the best of wives,
and the best of mother3-in law. My dears,
when you meet with such a man do your ut
most to marry him. In tho severest winter he
would not mind going to bed first. [Here the
lecturer concluded, and the several young la
dies retired to their respective avocations.]
The Fashionable Season at Washington. —
Last Saturday evening writes a Washington re
tailer of gossip, the President’s “levee,” as the
Washingtonians denominate an evening recop
Uon, was very naroeroosly attended:
Among the visitors at the White House, none
attracted more general attention than Mr. Cramp
ton. A little aside conversation between two
gentlemen present illustrated the difference in
which his position as representative of Great
Britain, as representative of Great Britain is re
garded in contrast with that of some other Am
bassadors. A bespangled fellow, with mousta
ches, and a foreign air, thrusting his head into
one ofthe halls “Is that the Austrian Charge!’’
inquired a plainly dressed nmn at our elbow.—
“No J’’replied his friend, quickly, “that’s the
British Minister’s coachman.”
The ladies do not dress so much at these soi
rees, as they do at those of families of moderate
means in New York. Coming as they do from
ail part* of the country, all sorts of fashions in
costume prevail, some quite rich, to be sure, but
generally in very bad taste. Scarcely nnv jew
els are worn, but a great many have an inordin
ate taste for gaudy head dresses of artificial
flowers, imitation of peail, sptigs and spangles
Some heads are literally bowed down by the
weight they thus carry. Low necked dresses,
and Margaret of Burgundy costume, long dress
es and short ones, long waists and short waists,
scarlet ribbons and scarfs, white shoes and red
shoes, all have their representatives—in fact,
w’ere there a few’ black masks present, one would
almost believe be was witnessing a Faubourg ba!
masque in Paris. At these soirees after shaking
hands with the President, and receiving a smile
from his very agreeable face, the ladies squeeze
into the East Room, and while a portion of
them are forcing themselves through the crowd
in an attempted promenade, the balance are
making cutting remarks upon the dresses and
beauty, or rather lack of beauty of theprom
enaders. The visitors do not stay late ; at 10
o’clock they begin to move off—and at 11, Jim
my closes the “front door.’’ and the President
goes to bed, I suppose heartily anathematizing
a Presidential reception.
The Law no Slavery in the Territories.
A* tlie Nebraska Bill is creating much excitement,
we publish the following from the Charleston Courier ;
“To prepare our readers fully for a great question
that i* coming upon qs, we publish this morning correct
copies of so much of the laws bearing upon the question
of slavery, n* may boos consequence in the considera
tion of tho Nebraska bill of Senator Douglass, now
pending in the Senate of the United States :
MISSOURI COMPROMISR.
Tho Bth section of an act, entitled “an act to
authorise the people of the Missouri Territory
to form a constitution and State government,
and for the admission of said State into the
Union on an equal footing with the original
States, and to prohibit slavery in certain Terri
tories,” approved March Gth, 1820, contains the
following enactment: “provided, that in all terri
tory ceded by France to the United States, un
der the name of Louisiana, which lies north of
thirty-six degiees and thirty minutes north lati
tude, not included within the limits ofthe State
contemplated by this act, slavery and involunta
ry servitude, otherwise than in the punishment
wrcjmies, wnereor ie parn?s sitaTT Rave been
duly convicted shall be, and is hereby forever
prohibited; provided, always, that any person
escaping into the same from whom labor or ser
vice is lawfully claimed in any State or Territory
of the United Slates, such fugitive may be law
fully re claimed, and conveyed to the person
claiming his or her labor or service, as afore
said.”
ANNEXATION OF TEXAS.
The third article of tho second section of the
“joint resolutions for annexing Texas to the
United States,” approved March Ist, 1845,
amongst other things, provides “that new Slates
of convenient size, not exceeding four in number,
in addition to said State of Texas, anti having
sufficient population, may hereafter, by the con
sent of said State, be formed out ofthe territory
thereof, which shall be entitled to admission un
der the provisions of the fedeial constitution.—
And such States as may be formed out of that
portion of said territory lying south of thirty-six
degrees and thirty minutes north latitude, com
monly knowm as the Missouri Compromise
Line, shall be admitted into the Union with or
without slavery, as the people of each State ask
ing admission may desire. A tid in such State
or States as shall be formed out of said territory
north of the Missouri Compromise Line, slavery
or involuntary servitude (except for crimes)
shall be prohibited.
COMI’ROMISE OF 1850.
The fifth proposition of an act entitled “An
act proposing to the State of Texas, the establish
ment ofthe Northern and Western boundaries,
the relinquishment by the said State of all terri
tory claimed by her exterior to said boundaries,
and of all her claims upon the United States, and
to establish a Territorial Government for New
Mexico,” approved Sept. 9th, 1850, amongst
other thing* provided as follows: “Provided,
that nothing herein contained shall be construe
ted to impair, or qualify anything contained in
the third article of second section of the joint
resolutions for annexing Texas to the United
States.’’ Approved March Ist, A. D. 1845.
SLAVERY SECTION OF DOUGLASS’ NEBRASKA BILL.
Sec. 21. And be it further enacted, That, in
order to avoid all misconstruction, it is hereby
declared to be tho true intent and meaning of
this act, so far as the question Os slavery is con
cerned, to carry into practical operation the fol
lowing propositions and principles established
by the compromise measures of 1850, to wit:
First That all questions pertaining to slavery
in the Territories, and in the new States to be
| formed there from, are to be left to the decision
i of the people residing therein, through their ap
propriate representatives.
Second, That “all cases involving tho title to
slaves,” and “questioes of personal freedom,”
are refered to ihe adjudication of local tribunal*,
with the right to appeal to the Supreme Court
ofthe United States.
Third, Tha*. the provisions of the Constitution
and laws of the United States in respect to fugi
tives from service are to be carried into faithful
executio* in all “the organized Territories’’ the
same as in the States.
The Question of Agitation.
The principle involved in the Nebraska bill
introduced by Senator Douglas may not be un
derstood by many of our Readers. We pro
pose to state the question as briefly and as clear
ly as we are able. When understood, the spu
rious indignation got up about it at the North
w ill he estimated at its true value ; and dispas
sionate men will view with wonder, that some
of the leading spirits of the Castle Garden
movement in New York and some of the lead
ing persons in favor of Compromise and Union
in 1850, are now prominent in agitation on the
Nebraska question. Charity bids us arrive at
the conclusion that these persons do not under
stand the subject. They are certainly incon
sistent.
The territory of Nebraska and Kansas was
ceded to the United States by France under the
title of the Territory of Louisiana, and included
[TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE.
the present State of Louisiana, Texas, Arkan
sas, Missouri, &c. This treaty of purchase was
effected by Mr. Jefferson in 1803-4, with Na
poleon. In all this territory, slavery existed un
der the French laws long before its cession, and
at the period of the purchase slavery existed in
nearly ail the States of the Union, New York
and Massachusetts among the rest. The trea
ty under which Louisiana was acquired con
tained nothing altering the statues of slavery
there, and its purchase by a Government of
slave States did not of course have any effect
to abolish or prohibibit slavery.
When Missouri, a part of this territory, ap
plied for admission as a State into the Union,
the anti-slavery feeling of the North first mani
fested itself. This was in 1819-20, and at that
time some of the Northern States, having push
ed off and sold their slaves further South, had
become inoculated with “free soilism’’ which
cost them nothing and had provided for aboli
tion within their own bordeis.
The free soilers of 1820 objected to the ad
mission of Missouri, on the ground that the lex
loci of the Louisiana Territory recognizing
slavery, was incorporated in the State’s Consti
tution. The question was a question of self
government. Had the people of Missouri a l ight
or not to determine for themselves this internal
social and political question ? The freesoilers
said no, aud maintained the right of the Fede
ral Government to trample upon the great, dem
ocratic principle of self government and to as
sume to judge for the people of Missouri what
institutions were best for them. The result was
the compromise of 1820, known as tho Mis
souri Compromise by which Missouri was
admitted without restriction as to slavery
and by which it was agreed that thereafter slave
ry should be prohibited north of 36 30, the
Southern boundary of Missouri. This was a
Northern measure, and passed ag:;iiist.tlie pro
test and the votes of the South. Tho South
contending that it was a violation of the Con
stitution, a Governmental attack upon Southern
institutions, and a denial of the democratic prin
ciple of self government. But while the South
protested against it, when it became a law they
acquiesced in the decision, and for thirty years
faithfully abided bv the Compromise. When
Texas was admitted, although by the Louisiana
treaty, the whole of that territory was slave, the
South consented to the application of the Mis
souri line putting off slavery in that part of the
ertritorv North of the line
In 1850, the California question came up.—
The agitation was again renewed, and in the
face of the Missouri Compromise, the North in
sisted that California should cojno in “free soil,”
although its Southern boundary fell below 36 30.
The violence of the struggle is fresh in the pub
lic recollection, and it resulted in a compromise
by which the South as usual made another sur
render, by which tho abrogation of the piinei
pie of the Missouri Compromise was effected,
and in return for which, tliß North agreed to re
enact the clause of Constitution requiring the
rendition of fugitive slaves.
In tins controversy the South insisted on tho
old bargain of 1820. ‘Hie South very justly
said, we were chiselled hy that compromise
when it was made, our rights and the constitu
tion suffered by it, we have since lost territory
by the operation of it—but we have faithfully
adhered to it, and now. for tne sake of peace,
let us continue it and run out the line to :he
Pacific. But the voice of reason and justice
was drowned in the fanatic bowl which filled the
ear of Congress, the Missouri Compromise w<as
overridden and the new Compromise of 1850
established. And it was established because tho
North believed that climate, soil and lattitude
would forever settle the question in favor ol free
soil, in all the territories to be afterwards ad
mitted. The question now comes up again in
the organization of Nebraska and Kansas terri
tories. This territory is north of 36 30, but it
adjoins the slave State of Missouri, and the free
soilers dread the effect of this proximity in tho
character of its population. Now, by tho Com
promise of 1850, the subject of free or slave
labor is left to the people of the territory, when
they are ready to adopt a State constitution.—
In exact and literal conformity to this principle
Mr. Douglas has framed and reported his Ne
braska bill. And now, the agitators, finding
that the Compromise of 1850 may promote
slave extension, take ground against it as prompt
ly as they did against the Compromise of 1820,
when that operated in the same way in respect
to the Southern portion of California. They
now fall upon the bargain of 1820, aud declare
| that under it, Nebraska is consecrated to Free
Soil. Thus these people have two measures of
justice—two rules of compromises—two yard
sticks, a long and a short, and in their settle
ine its of disputes with the South, they use alter
nately that one which gives them territory and
takes it from the South—and it so happens that
on every occasion that can arise, one or the
other will surely effect their object.
The Compromises of 1820 and ISSO are clear
ly in conflict. The latter abrogated and super
seded the former. Both cannot stand as a rule
because it is absurd to say that a line of de •
maikation shall be drawn between slave and
freesoil, and at the same time that people of all
new States shall decide for themselves slavery
or anti-slavery.
The adoption of the Douglas bill leaves this
question in the hands of the actual sellers pre
cisely where it was understood it should be left
by the compromise of 1850, and precisely ns
the American people decided it should, in the
election by an overwhelming majority of Presi
dent Pierce.
We cannot close this article without express
ing oursense of admiration in the independence
and courage of Senator Douglas in reference
to this matter. To appreciate it, it must be re
membered that he comes from an extreme North
Western Free State, where w ide differences of
opinion and feeling prevail on this subject. Pa
triotism and boldness of no ordinary kind were
requisite to inspire him w ith the bold design of
practically settling this question ; and by an
affirmation of the principle of non inti r ention
by the Federal Government, and of the right of
settlers to govern themselves, forever to drive
this agitating subject, along with the asjititors,
out of Congress. Whether success wdl crown
bis manly effort depends on the support_which
the country and especially the South, gives Jp.f
the Administration, whose opinions
ments Mr. Douglass ?peak£— Mobile^&gister.
A word about Washington Humors.
We have taken especial pains to ascertain how the Rep
resentatives oi New York will vole upon the Nebraska hill
when it reaches the lower house. It has been rumored that
Mr. Hutting and others ofthe National Democrat- will bolt
upon this test measure, in retaliation upon the South for its
desertion ol their cau?e. We are veiy confident that thi
i* a grow mielako We implic.ily Itelieve—and we vocak
advisedly—that all the National Democrats (save WaM
bridge,) will resolutely ar.d cordially-upport the Hill. W*
are equally well mlis’fied that all the “rofts” (except We. t
hrook, and it is supposed probably hy some, one oth r be
side-) will “spit up in” the bill, as they did originally upon
the coinpromi-e t I*s’. and as th-y hare so of*o i dr na
upon the just demands of the South. This Do r firm Ikj
