The latest scheme for settling the troubles whichnow agitate the country, has lately been put forth by the Republican press, and is ‘en titled to notice for its novelty, if not for any actual merits which it may possess. It is, to chairge the value of the negroes which Northern men may steal from Southern slaveholders, or who may run away from their masters under the influence and‘enticements of the Abolition ists, to the United States Government. This, the inventors of the plan think, onght‘to he eminently satisfactory to the South, and be accepted by that section as a salve for all the wounds which have been inflicted npen them. It is true that this idea. is not free from one objection, viz : That. it requires the South to pay in part for the slaves they have lost. Be sides, the projectors of this mode of adjusting our difficulties prepare first to deduct from the value of the slave, “ the expense of his recov ery under the fugitive slave law ;” which, if literally carried out in the light of the experi ence of the past. would leave, in most instan— ees, but. little for the owner to receive. Gener ally the determined resistance to the execution of the law on the part of the Republicans of the free States, runs up to the expense of cap turing and returning a fugitive, quite to his real value. We apprehend that the new plan will fail to meet with favor among the faithful anti slow ery men in the North. As a. rule, those who either steal negroes, or harbor those stolen by whens, are not. noted for their contributions to eman eipate the slaves, and it is not improbable that they would deem such a. tax upon the public treasury quite too direct an application of funds to the object sought to be accomplished. But granting that this could be accepted as the happy system upon which the slavery question is to be adjusted, what. a. jubilee our anti-slavery friends might. have, in the pursuit. of their favorite hobby. The chief danger. consists in the fact that, there would be less pleasure, less mischief, in stealing the negroes, when they were to be paid for by the government, than now. when the loss falls exclusively upon the owner, What a pity that the Republicans had not the control of Congres§ as well as the Execu tive department, so that they could carry this beautiful plan into efi'ect! Hnnificatlon—Jefl‘erson’s Inaugural Ad- dress. The Joural of Commerce recalls the lending facts of the South Carolina. Nullification move ment in‘lB'32—3, which will be read with pecu liar interest at. this time. It is a common error that South Carolina receded from the defiant attitude she assumed at that time, because Gen. Jackson threatened to coerce her into submis sion. In truth, she did not give way on account of the determination to employ iorce against her, but because the General Government. re pealed the obnoxious laws, _and by this conces~ sion destroyed the nullifioation movement. It was kindness, not menace, that saved the Re public at that eventful period—and this fact. should be remembered by the advocates of the force doctrines. In reviewing the history of the troubles of thntperiodthe Journal of Commerce says :—R-e~ garding herself deeply wronged by an Act of Congress which imfiosed extravagant duties on eertein articles, such as'manufnctures of wool and Aoottbn, South Carolina. took the responsi~ bility of openly resisting the collection of th ese duties. The day after the passage of the act of Congress, the-Representatives from South Carolina. issued an address to their constitu- GM" in which “hey “pressed their conviction “’3"! 3‘! hopes 0‘ relief from Congress was irre vocably gone, and that, therefore, the people must. determine for themselves ““I“,th the ‘ rights and liberties which they received as a ‘ precious inheritance from an illustrious ances try,_'sh:ould‘ be tnmely surrendered willmut a ‘ struggle, or transmitted undiminished to their posterity.” The State convention, called soon after, adopted an ordinance denying the right of the general government to enforce (what she deemed) an unconstitutional law, and the Le gislature sanctioned the movement by passing luvs relative to the collectionof the revenue, calling out the militia, providing arms, Bm. El‘he President assumed that the federal judi— ciary. was the only proper tribunal to decide upon the conslitutionality of the laws of the United States, and issued a proclamation, in whighghe appealed “to the understanding and pntriotism of the people of the State, and warned them- of the consequences which must inevita hly insult" from obeying the dictates of the con ye'n'gimi which had advised resistance. Gen. Hum: {'3o hadpreviously retired from the senate. of- the United States to act as Governor of, south Carolina, replied by u counter-procla motion. calling upon the 11901116.“ “'B‘ State goiifi'gfli‘nm‘, dignity and protect the liber tide" fihiah they‘had volunteered to defend, at all hazards. The various State legislatures being generally in session passed resolutions expressive of their views on the subject. Those .of the North and West, for the most. part, entirely disclaimed the doctrine of nullificatio'n. North Carolina agiAluba-mu were less explicit, but expressed tltééfop‘ihfion ‘th‘fitf-the tafifi‘ waé uncouszitutionnl gull id'éxpedient‘; and. Georgia proposed no convemion of Southern States to devise measures of relief. Virginia then threw herself into the breach, and besought both the general government and South Carolina. to ab stain from all acts czficnlated to disturb the public tranquility. Several Eastern States dvclared themselves oppose-. 1 to any modifica tion of ribs tariff, In the meantime, Soulh Carolina maintained a defiant attitude; though there was :1. minority within the State equally determined in their resistance to uullification. However. on the appearance oi‘ a naval force of the harborv‘of Charleston, to aid in the collection of the rev enue, no resistance was attempted. All this took place within six months from the time that South Carolina first. raised its voice of opposi tion. A month later, the compromise bill for the "permanent adjustment of the larifi' (of which Henry Clay was the principal author) was introduced. Mr. Calhoun expressed his approval of it ; and availing itself of the con cession thus made, South Carolina repealed the nullification ordinance. Thus, in March, 1833, quiet was restored to the country. In the present exigency, we miss the gallant sfatesman who have preceded us. What man is there now in the Southern States, patriotic, wise, of recognized ability and commanding influence, who shall actthe part of Henry Clay in 1833 2 Another unfavorable circumstance is, that there is greater ununimity‘smong the peo ple of each section, North and South, in regard ,to the question at issue, and perhaps a greater acerbity of feeling. ll: is not unlikely, too, thot a larger proportion of Southern men have reasoned themselves into a belief that indepen dent- political existence is preferable to the present. condition of things. . It. must he confessed that the present times are cnvironed with peril. Never was there need of a morcfratcmcl spirit, such as submits to sacrifices of personal feelings for the public good. Sever was there a. louder demand that the Federal Constitution should be faithfully observed by States and individuals; and that every nullificai-ion law now defacing the statute books of dflferent members of the Confederacy, should be immediately repealed. Let men North and South give earnest heed to the words of J cfl’erson, in his Inaugural Address, as follows : During the contestof opinion through which we have passed. the animation of discussion and of exertion: has sometimes worn an aspect which might impose on strangers unused to think freely and to speak. and to write what they think, but this being now decided by the voice of the notion, announced according to- the rules of the Constitution, all will, of course, arrange themselves under the will of the law, and unite in com mon efforts for the common good All, too. will bear in mind this scored principle, that though the will of the majoritv is in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must he remonnblu; that the minority possess their equal nights, which equal laws must, protect, and to violate which would he oppression. Let us, then, fellow-citizens, unite with one heart and one mind.— Let us restore to socia. intercourse that harmony and affection without which liberty and even life itself are but dreary things. And let us reflect that having hun ished from our land that religious intolerance under which mankind so long bled and suffered, we have yet gained little if we conuteunnce a political intolerance as despotic, as wicked, and capable of as bitter and bloody persecutions. During the throes and convulsions .of the an ient world. during the scanning spasms of in furinted men, seeking through I) cod and slaughter his long-lost liberty, it was not wonderful that the agita tion of the billovr's should reach even this distant and peaceful shore; that this should be more felt and feared by some and less by others; that this should divide opinions us to monomer; of safety. But every difierence of opinion i: not a. difl‘erence of principle. We have called by different names brethren of the same principle. We are all republicans—we are all federalists. If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union or to change its rep vblicun form, let them stand undisturbed us monuments of the satiety with which error of opinion may be toleratud where reason is left free to combat it. I know, indeed, that some honest men fear that -a. republican government cannot be strong; that this government is not strong enough.— But would the honest patriot, in the full tide of mo éessfnl experiment, abandon a. government which has no for kept us free and firm, on the theoretic and vision any fast that this government, the world’s best hope, may by possibility want energy to preserve itself ’! -I trust not. I believe this, on the contrary, tue strong est government on earth. I believe it the only one where every man, st the call of the laws, would fly to the standard of the law, and would meet invasions of the public order as his own personal concern. Some times it is said that mm cannot be trusted with the government of himself. lion he. then, be trusted with the government of others? 01- have we found angels in the forms of kings to govern him? Let history on awer this question. A Pl:orosuxos.—The New York Times of Wednesday contains an article which, coming from a. leading Republican journal at this mo ment, is very significant. It is a suggestion that, instead of compelling the surrender of fugitive slaves, the General Government should pu y their ownersA'or them at the rate of $l,OOO ahead. The Timu- estimates that about one thousand slaves escape from their masters an nually, who are never heard from; so that an item of a million of dollars, added to the pre sent expenditures of the General Government, would cover the loss. The Times stipulates that the law should be so framed as not to en'- courage. the running away of slaves by relaxing the vigilance of the owners. The acknowledg , 'ment of the obligation resting on the free States to return fugitive slaves, on the one hand, and the extreme difiiculty of enforcing a law to that effect on the other, is the alleged ground of this somewhat tardy proposition. One thing ‘ will at once strike the Southern reader, which i is this, that as it is the North, and not~~the l South, which asks to be released from the per l‘ormance of a constitutional duty, it is the North alone which should make the proposed compenSation. Upon the theory that the South already pays an undue share -of the national revenue, the remuneration of -the' slaveholder, as the Times proposes, would still leave much the greater part of the loss of' the fugitive slaves upon that section, and anyhow, by this mode of adjustment, a large portion of it would fell upon those whom the framers of the Constitution intended to guard against all lossu pnn this account. We attnch no grant importance, however, to the propomit n, which dues not touch the real question at issue. Will the people of the North never comprehend that their Southern brethren do not regard this as a question mexely of dollars and cents? Do they never suspect that the extremely small loss from escape—which, compared with the aslsl'egate value of slaves, is loss than any om?“ species of property, perhaps, is exposed to trom the ”Eu“: ' . - - « les whnh belong to each- WUUM be borne with cherrfulness, as it always .w'33 b‘met so long as insult was not added to mJury, and defiance to wrong?

The only day of leisure which the girls of this establishment heve _isVSundey. From Monday morumg to Saturday night they are as complete prisoners as any in Newgote. They know not whether the sun shines or the rain falls at that time. They are not. allowed to cross the threshold even to purchase a pair of shoes or a, new gown for themselves, and must employ their friends outside to do this for them. ' Nor is the accommodation in-docrs such as in any way to reconcile them to this close con finement; The work-room, in which ten or twelve of them are employed, ‘is only aboul tWelve feet square, and is eniirely devoid of arrangements for ventilation. which is the more to be deplored. as during the evening they have to encounter the heat and foul air of three fla ming gas-burners right over their headshevety door and Window being shut by which a breath of pure air could possibly enter. The bed rooms are equally uncomfortable, no fewer than six persons being huddled into one, and four into another. - It is impossible to contemplate the condition of this class of work-women (as disclosed by the facts quoted) without keenly sympathizing with it, and wishing that; something might. be done to mitigate its evils and misery. Coxcenmxa Bosoms AND ORA'romr mu Is “ ErnsnEnAl..”—Whut a remarkable men is Mr. Anson Burlingame about. bosom: ." His or: atory is always running upon bosom .' Along time ago he told his bosom companions that he had put. his hand into the bosom of Massachu— setls and found how her heart. beat on account of the colored people. Then he got tired and‘ he told the people that whenever he was weary; he went. and laid his head on the bosom of the North End! Just. before the election he pro mised all the conservatives that Abraham Lin coln, if elected President, would~lny his hand upon the palpitating heart of the South and soothe her into peace! Of course Abraham must put-his hand into her bosom to get down to her heart. . And now we have the crowning bosoming of Mr. Burlingame in his very last speech on Fri day night at the Music Hall, where Senator Wilson, in the character of Mark Antony, made his funeral oration over the dead body of Anson, and Anson himself, with a modesty pe culiar to the “most. eluquent champion,” as Mr, Wilson calls him, “returned his heartfelt gratitude to his friends of the Fifth District. for having given him an opportunily of re turning the blow when a hand “smote the white bosom of Massachusetts 1" This is the first time Mr. Burlingame has designated the com plexion of the lady, and we are obliged to him for not, calling it the colored bosom !—Bdston Post. ‘ Gov. l-lousrrox on THE TEXAS TROUBLES.—-A correspondent. of the Galveston News, writing from Ifidependence, Texas, October let, gives the following sketch of a speech delivered there by Gov. Houston: “ In regard to the recent raid and incendia rism in Texas, he said it. had been exaggerated and misrepresented. The fact was that. there had been but. one white man hung in Texas for incendiarisn—Herndou, of Henderson-band two neg-rues; and there never had been a. vial or bottle of poison found in‘the possession of any other negroes in this State; thus intima— tiug very clearly that the others that, were pun ished were unjustly punished. 'As to the houseburnings, it had been reported at one time that there were fourteen houses burned in the city of Austin, when in fact. there was only a, shanty or shed iu'the outskirts of the city burned; and be accounted for the burning of that by the carelessness of the Dutch who Were lounging and smoking there at the time. ’3“ “ However much he might. regret the election of Lincoln, still, if Constitutional] y elected, he ought to and should be inaugurated. ‘Yes, they would have to walk over his dead body if he was not.’ ” A Tnouau non run Yovxe M mun—More may be learned by devoting a few moments daily to reading, than is commonly supposed.
