It has been said that most £ men bonr the misfortunes of others with f great equanimity; with proper self-discipline '• i tho Palmetto Commonwealth might arrive j at this happy stato of mind in regard to the K wrongs of Maryland nnd Delewnre. It is n little odd, too, that the great cen- K trnl champion of the Southern oxtremeists should be u uon-slarohulder, mid preach re sistance in the garb of a non-combatant.— Such is the position of the Southern Press.. It goes into daily paroxysms over the idea ofV) igntimiiioiis “submission;” nothing will con-1* lent it short of the division of California byf 36° 30'; nnd the satisfactory redress thereby! of Southern indignity and oppression. It*? oven rends lessons to our Democratic coteni-" pornry of the Union about slavery and South-' em rights; and in reply to ond of them, we' observe'in the latter journal a quikt pnrn- £ graph, which says so much in a lew word# that we cannot omit to copy it:—“We ore *■' slaveholder ourself of fifty years’ experience^ and we beliove thal the causes which affect tho value of ibis species of property must be understood by us much better thnn they can be by the editor of the Southern Press, who never owned a slnvo, end probably never will; but we enn entertain no hope thnt our experience can be made useful lo one who* gravoly asserts that the Compromise places f tho South out of the Union.” Now there is certainly something practi cal in this mode of argument : "I have been a slaveholder, and shall probably die one— and 1 can see nothing to prevent me from ac quiescing in the compromise. You, on the oilier baiid, wlm never owned nslave in your life, ure exceedingly distiessed at the wrongs I have suffered 7n regard to my ne groes, and leach secession from the Union on iny nmiunt !” It is certainly n some what strung argument to the individual; per- Imps rather loo distinctly n personal appeal : hut it is very much lo the point.—Rtpubdie, Larok Haul of Sinners.—The Boston police Hindu a descent on Wednesday night upon the Imuiits of vice in Ann street and vicinity, Hid capt mod 153 men, women and girls !
