A New Plan for Settling our sectional
Dlﬁicnlties.
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

THE NEEDLE Woan or Lennon—3A eorres
pendent of the London Times, describing one
or the great mammal-making establishments in

and continued till 11. at night—minefield of 16
hours, the only' ihteri'als 'ﬂllowed? b‘eing‘ format

thus leaving 1:3 hours and 20 minutes is the
period devoted to work. And this, be it re—
membered, is not merely during the busy 593,.
son.but for all the year round, from January
to December. 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.

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

Wilson, in the character of Mark Antony,

Mr, Wilson calls him, “returned his heartfelt

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.’ ”
