Epson County, Geo., .fan. 23, ls.»C. j Editor: In mingling with the masses, l find that n-.>t only a most lamentable ignorance, but an almost suicidal apathy is strangely prevalent with reference to the great and commanding interests involved iu the pending political and social desti of Kansas. 1 say political, because, in this fair l.iml, where freedom's sane is fanned by heavenly zephyrs, unscrupulous political hucksters andruth !..,s demagogues, unwilling to leave the social svs t.-iii, with all its weighty responsibilities and deli cute relations, where the Constitution leaves it, have forcibly dragged Kansas into the political a ena, and made it the politico! watchword of op posing and embattling hosts —thus abusing their birthrights, blasting their escutcheons and disturb ing the body politic. And how comes it about that ih . se punctilious guardians of the public weal sr. : unwilling that this recognized child of patriot : m, this acknowledged tegis of our liberties, this glorious Constitution of our fathers, shall shield a State iu eu-.brvo ? Simply, because it is only by placing a foul, factions foot upon hallowed ground bv agitating the political seas—by veiling the p -lideal horizon in mists and fogs, and throwing dust into the eves of the “dear people,” that thty (in “wind their wav” to places of “honor or pro tit." These vampires of national safety and po litical tranquillity flood the “land of the free and the home of the brave," and with unblushing ef tronterv. spout of parlies, of politics and of patri otism' With such pestiferous, political animalcuhe. the North, prolific of darksome evils and danger ous >, is thronged and almost throttled; and from such the South, even in ht-r characteristic so berness and modesty, is not entirely tree. To them, the South in an hour of darkness apd dan ger cau neither lo -k for partial protection nor ulti mate safety; for the former are open enemies, and the latter arc treacherous friends. Let us then, as Southerners, weigh well the circumstances by ’ which we are surrounded. \ fearful political si- ■ lias Intelv swept the “ sunny South,” threat- ! ening, in it s wild, wayward and wanton career, to j derange the whole machinery of the social sys tem ; to scoff, scout and discard the hallowed oh- ! ligations of a boasted Constitution, and to convert j the beauty of domestic tranquillity, and the digni- : tv of political rectitude into the confusion of chaos and the cruelty of partizan persecution.

[COMM rjfic ATKO.] Mr Editor: Permit me to propound the fol lowing questions to the serious attention of candid and reflecting men: Ist lias any ecclesiastic of the Catholic Church, within the limits of this Union, ever been in the habit of regaling his congregation with abolition harangues under the false pretence of preaching the gospel. 2d. Has any such ecclesiastic been guiliy of the temerity of protesting, in the name and by the au thority of God, against the enactment of a law by Congress, to secure to the .South her constitution al rights. ud. Has any such ecclesiastic ever written a book, treatise, or essay, or delivered an oration or discourse, wherein the institution of slavery is assailed, as contrary to the moral precept- of Christianity. 4th. Is there now, or has there ever been, within the limits of this Union, a Catholic review, periodical, magazine or newspaper, wherein Abo lition or Freesoil sentiments are inculcated and de fended. ■th. lias ever any Council, or other assemblage, of the official authorities of the Catholic Church, in the United States, enacted any ordinance or de cree, or passed any resolution, wherein “the great southern institution” is denounced as repugnant to any dogma or moral principle of the Bible, or whereby Abolitionism or Frcesoilism has received “aid and comfort.” 6th. lias the harmony and good feeling between that portion of the American Catholic Church which is north and that which is south of Mason and Dixon's line, ever been disturbed, by the agi tation of slavery, within the pale of that Church. The political isms, which the existence of slave ry in the southern portion of this republic, have called into existence, are emphatically the para mount questions of the dav. They are upon us now in their highest intensi ty, surcharged with peril, aud big with tite fate of this vast empire. They demand an adjustment, and demand it in terms, which trill brook no de lay, and accept no temporizing compromise. Let them but meet with such a solution as will comport with the honor, and protect the rights of the south and all will be well, but if evil counsels prevail with the American people, and that honor and those interests be sacrificed upon the unholv shrine of northern Abolition fanaticism, then the best system of political liberty ever vouchsafed to man, our own high fruition, and the cherished hope of a crushed and tyrant-ridden world, will fast vanish away and— Like the baseless fabric of a vision. Leave not a wreck behind. And what ill-starred destiny will await us, im agination may speculate about, human reason can not foretell. If these things are so, and all the foregoing questions must be answered in the negative, as 1 verilv believe they must, and it is further consid ered that northern Protestant clergymen and eccle siastical bodies, by their denunciations of slavery have done so much to create the unsound public opinion, now rife in the north, it would seem to be clear, that not in titese times, and our present emergencies should we of the south, proscribe our Catholic fellow-citizens on account of their reli gion. Veritas. itegi lining* of the National Debt of Great Britain. The following is an extract from one ofM ic vr i.av's new volumes of the History of England: li was about the year 1633 that the word stock jobber was first heard in London. In the short space of four years a crowd of companies, every one of which confidently held out to subscribers the hope of immense gains, sprang into existence; i the Insurance Company, the Paper Company, the Lutestring Company, the Pearl Fishery Company, the (Hass Bottle Company, the Alum Company, the Blythe Coal Company, the Sword-blade Com pany. There was a Tapestry Company, which would soon furnish pretty hangings for all the parlors of the middln class, and for all the bed ! chambers ofthe higher. There was a Copper Com pany, which proposed to explore the mines of j England, and held out a hope that they would 1 prove not less valuable than those of Potosi. : There was a Diving Company which undertook to ; bring up precious effects from shipwrecked vessels, and announced that it had laid in a stock of won- I derful machines resembing complete suits of ar- i mor. In front of the helmet was a huge glass eye j like that of cyclop ; and out of the crest went a ! pipe through which the air was to be admitted. The whole process was exhibited on the Thames, j Fine gentlemen aud fine ladies were invited to the ‘ show, were hospitably regaled, and were delight ed by seeing the divers in their panoply descend into the river and return laden with old iron and ship s tackle. There was a Greenland Fishing Company which could not fail to drive the Dutch whalers and herring busses out of the Northern : ocean. There was a Tanning Company which promised to furnish leather superior to the best that was brought from Turkey or Russia. There was a society which undertook the office of giving gentlemen a liberal education on low terms, and ; winch assumed the sounding name of the Royal ; Academies Company. In a pompous advertise- . uient it was announced that the directors of the Royal Academies Company had engaged the best masters in every branch of knowledge, aud were j about to issue twenty thousand tickets at twenty shillings each. There was to be a lottery; two thousand prizes were is hi- irawn; and tite fortunate holders ofthe j prize were l<> he taught, at the charge ofthe Com pany. Latin. Greek, Hebrew, French, Spanish, conic sections, trigonometry, heraldry, japanning, forti- j licatiiin, book-keeping, and the art of playing on ; the tlieorobo. Some of these companies took large ; mansions, and printed their advertisements iu gi Id- | ed letters. Others, less ostentatious, were content with iuk, and met at coffee houses in the neighbor- j hood of the Royal Exchange. Jonathan’s and Gar raws v's were in a constant ferment with brokers, buyers, sellers, meetings of directors, meetings of proprietors. Time bargains soon came into fash ion. Extensive combinations were formed, and monstrous fables were circulated, for tbs purpose of raising or depressing the price of shares. Our country witnessed for the first time those phenomena with which a long experience has made ; is familiar. A mania, of which the symptoms were essentially the same with those of the mania of 1720, of the mania of 1826, of the mania of 1*45, seized the public mind. An impatience to be rich. 5 a contempt for those slow but sure gains which are the proper reward of industry, patience and thrift, j spread through society. The spirit ofthe cogging i dicers of Whitefriars ‘took possession of the grave Senators of the City, Wardens of Trades, Deputies, . Aldermen. It was much easier and much more ; lucrative to put forth a lying prospectus announc ing a new stock, to persuade ignorant people that j the dividends could not fall short of twenty per ! cent., and to part with live thousand pounds of this imaginary wealth for ten thousand solid guineas, than to load a ship with a well chosen cargo for Virginia or the Levant. Every day some new bub ble was puffed into existence, rose buoyant, shone bright, burst, and was forgotten. The new form which covetousness lmd taken fur nished the comic poets and satirists with an excel- j lent subject; nor was that subject lc.-s welcome to j them because some of I he most unscrupulous and most successful of the new race of gamesters were j men ill sad colored clothes and lank hair, men who j called cards the Devil's books, men who thought it ; a sin and u scandal to win or lose two pence over a backgammon board. It was in the last, drama of Shadwell that the liyproerisy and knavery of these speculators was, for the first time, exposed to pub lic ridicule. He died in November, 1692, just, be fore the Stockjobbers came on the stage; aud the ; epilogue was spoken by an actor dressed in deep mourning. The best scene is that in which four or live stern Nonconformists, clad in the full Puritan costume, after discussing the prospects of the Mousetrap Company and ute-Fleakilling Company, examine the question whether the godly may law fully hold stock in a company for bringing over Chinese rope dancers. “ Considerable men have shares,” says one austere person m cropped hair and hands, “ but verily l question whether it be : lawful or not.” These doubts are removed by a stout old Round head colonel, who had fought at Marston Moor, and who reminds his weaker brother that the saints ; need not themselves see the rope dancing, and that, tit all probability, there will be no rope danc ing to see. “ The thing,” he says, “is like to take; the shaves will sell well; and then we shall not ' care whether the dancers come over or no." It is important to observe that this scene was exhibited ano applauded before one farthing of the national debt had been contracted. So ill-informed were the numerous writers who, at a later period, ascribed t > the national debt the existence of stock jobbing, and of all the immoralities connected with stockjobbing. The truth is, that society had, in the natural course of its growth, reached anoint at winch it was inevitable that there should be stock jobbing, whether there were a national debt or not, and inevitable, also, that, if there were a long and costly war, there should be a national HOTICIL i 4*4 KiN, dueled under lb? ni LALLMtMtVi i {.Vi;.

CMRARDEV, WHYTE & CO., juiSO Agent*, From the London Times. America and England. , President Pierce’s message to Congress possesses unusual interest from the asperity which has re cently crept into the diplomatic correspondence be tween the British and American governments, it ! is pleasant to observe that the President does not adopt the violent language of his Attorney Gen eral, but speaks in a tone better suited to the Chief Magistrate of a great people. He evinces no inor i dinate desire to magnify trifles, to stimulate preju j dices or embitter quarrels; although, to our mind, ' he gives exaggerated importance to the matter in difference between his government, and our own. ; It is evident, however, that he indulges no design j of plungiug bis country into war, although he entertains no warm affection for Great Britain. The j principal matter in dispute between the two gov vemments is the Central American question, and the interpretation they severally give to the eon | vention of 1850, commonly known as the Clayton : Bui wer treaty. The Government of the United .States contend : that the stipulation that “neither will ever occupy, or fortify, or colonize, or assume, or exercise any dominion over Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the M«s qniio Coast, or any part of Central America,” takes'effect retrospectively as well as prospectively, : and that Great Britain is' bound to withdraw from her settlements in Central America. The British Government maintain that the operation of the ‘ convention is prospective only, and refuse to aban don the possessions held by England in Central I America when the treaty was concluded. President Pierce adheres to the American inter ; pretation, and declares that his government are re solved to insist on the rights of the United States; j but lie adds: “Actuated, also, by the same desire which is avowed by the British Government to re move all causes of serious misunderstanding be . tween too nations associated by so many ties of i interest and kindred, it has appeared to me proper j not to consider an amicable solution of the contro ! versv hopeless." He leaves the question to the di i plomatists, hoping, perhaps, that it will one day i settle itself, or that it may receive an early solution i from Geu. Walker. It must be the desire of the I civilized world to secure the neutrality of the nar ! row strip which passes the modern highway be tween the Atlantic and the Pacific, and England and the United Slates have a common interest in that quarter. Nothing could be more foolish than a war about settlements which few Englishmen ever heard of, and about local interests of which the people of this country know little and care less. A conciliatory spirit on both sides cannot fail to bring about an accommodation of this "interna tional difficulty,” and we trust that our govern ment will make every concession that can be yield ed without sacrifice of honor. The recruitment question also remains open. The President takes unnecessary pains to demon strate that tire municipal law of tite United States prohibits the enlistment, of American citizen'* for the armies of the foreign powers; and he alleges the complicity of the British Government with cer tain of their agents whom he charges with “defy ing the laws, throwing suspicion on the neutralitv aud disregarding the Territorial rights of the Union.” In conclusion, he says he has presented the case to the British Government in order to se cure “not only a cessation of the wrong, but its reparation .” Now the cessation took place long ago, and it cannot be said that a single person was enlisted in the United States for the British ser vice, It was never intended to open olliees or de pots for recruits within tite boundaries of the Union, and the only thing done was to establish places.within the British possessions, where per sons desirous of enlisting might apply. No doubt it was expected that some of the unquiet spirits in the States, native or foreign, might be induced to seek excitement, fortune or glory in the Crimea; but the moment it was discovered that our re cruiting stations gave umbrage to the American Government, they were broken up, and the entire design was abandoned. The British Government have! we believe, admitted their error, aud tender ed an apology. This seems insufficient to satisfy American sensitiveness, for the President says “the subject is still under discussion.” We are at a loss to conceive what more can be required of ns, or what “reparation” can possibly be made or expect ed. If President Pierce expects that the- British Government or people will submit to humiliation, lie will be disappointed. There has been no mis chief done—we have acknowledged ottr error, and we say we are sorry that we have unintentionally given offence. We can do no more, and we must take the consequences if our irascible cousins at the other side of the Atlantic are pre-dotermined not to be satisfied with the utmost reparation we cun offer without loss of self-respect. The causes of quarrel are trulv insignificant, in comparison with the intimate relations and mutu al interests which bind together two nations hav ing a common origin and speaking the same tongue, lit this country neither envy nor jealous ly are felt towards the United States. We enter tain feelings of warm friendship, mingled with pride, for the powerful and industrious nation that may be said to have grown out of our island. We may occasionally laugh at the foibles of our trait- Atlantic cousins, or censure some of their peculiar institutions, but wo are not more sparing of blame and ridicule at home. We feel pursttuded that the sentiments of the English people are respond ed to bv the great mass of American citizens, not withstanding tiie incendiary effusions of some of their newspapers. A war between the two coun tries would fie so foolish and so criminal thut we cannot believe in its possibility, .''till we are con scious of the mischief of keeping open small sources of irritation, which are capable of spread ing into a broad surface of quarrel. International disputes are sure, sooner or Safer, to involve the poiut of honor, perhaps on both sides, and to pre cipitate the disputants into war, without their really knowing what they are about to fight for. Most w ars have had their origin in trifling or ob- j scure causes. The contest that now shakes Eu rope from end to end began between a few monks, who squabbled for the custody of the keys of a church. Tite Central American settlements, or tite intensity of apology required for the attempt at British recruitment in the United States, have scarcely more importance. Should the intemperance of either government, or of both, lead to hostilities, the origin of the war would soon be forgotten in the bitterness of the conflict Armed ships would swarm like hornets from the ports of the United States to fall upon our merchantmen, blit in a few months the power ful British navy would sweep the stars and stripes from the ocean'. Modern I’aal Jones might harass the defenceless points of our coasts, but the groat seaboard cities of America would lie open to the guns of British fleets. There Would be havoc aud bloodshed enough on both rid, > t . gratify the wishes of every hater of freedom and human pro gress, and when both came to lay down their arms, exhausted with the combat, what would either have gained? We would rather ask what would not both have lost? They would have lost iu blood, in monev, in interruption of commerce, in the destruc tion of the results of industry, and the paralysis of industry itself. For the rest they would have set tled nothing, and so far as the original questions were concerned, they would stand where they had been at the beginning. Wo incereiv hop" that there w ill be a speedy adjustment of any differences that may exist be tween the British and American Governments. They have but to abandon on both sides an atti tude of defiance and to approach each other in a frank and conciliatory spirit. There is every rea son whv the two nations should remain friends, and enmity would be truly unnatural between them. We have been a little hurt by the leaning of our kinsmen towards our on ;my in the present war; thev arc not satisfied with our opinions re specting their “domestic institution/’ and they are a little jealous of our “ airs” and supposed as sumption of superiority. There is really uo cause of difference, much less of qutfrrel, if the whole matter is examined dispassionately. Tin-two peo ples had better agree to “let bygones be bygones,” shake hands across the ocean, and continue to trade amicably, as they have done for half a cen tury, with mutual profit, and advantage.

Anxious to extend its influence, and place it upon a substantial basis of support, the Publisher desires most earnestly to direct the attention ot the thinking public of America to its claims upon their consideration. The main feature of the CRITERION is its Lu ckies of Current Literature. In this department are given thorough and able criticisms of all the most important books as they are issued, pointing out their chief characteristics, and indicating their moral tendencies, thus keeping its readers inform ed of all new publications which deserve their at tention. IT ALSO CONTAINS Copious Intelligence of Affairs in the Literary World; Gossip concerning Books and Writers; Vnuonneements of contemplated Publications; and lasts of New Books issued in America and Europe. The Drama, Music, Fine Arts and Science, also receive attention, and several columns of carefullv selected and agreeable matter are given in each number. In addition to the above .there is a de partment of Miscellanea for reading, of an enter- , mining character, carefully selected from new books and the ablest reviews, and a weekly collection of Notes and Queries, which contains a great variety of curious and valuable information. It is confidently believed that a journal such as tlie CRITERION, cannot fail to have a good effect upon our national literature, and to some extent | upon our national character. It will be found es- i peciallv valuable in directing the attention of youth to works of real excellence, and encouraging an j appreciation for valuable reading, which is being | rapidly destroyed bv the circulation of superficial j and sophistical boohs. To the reading man the 1 literary intelligence alone must render it very de- j sirable; and to all who wish to promote an im-j provement in taste, the encouragement of merit, ’ and an uncompromising condemnation of vicious j si vie, mock sentiment, and evil principles, such an 1 enterprise cannot- at least, should not -be indif-j ferent. To members of Historical, Literary and Set ex- ; Tine Societies, Lyceums and Debating Clubs, j the subjects discussed in this paper will, at all : times, prove of peculiar interest, and it is the de- j sign of the editors to thoroughly canvass, from j time to time, those important philosophical ques- i lions which agitate all inquiring minds, correcting j false theories, and encouraging profitable invest!- j gation. The CRITERION is published at £3 per annum, j payable yearly, half yearly, or quarterly, in ad- | vatice. Specimen copies supplied, on application I to the Publisher. CHARLES It.
