«'I“i‘-ire; scorn.’
For the last eight or ten years———in fact.
ever since J. C. Calhoun \vas
the Presidential track by the Mrs» Eaton
explosion ie‘ Gen. Jac’k's‘on’s first Cabinet
——-a spirit has been rampant in our public
affairs, styling itself‘ilie South," and de-
manding that the whole nation shall fall
down and worship whatever graven images
it chose to setup. ‘The South’ must have
the tarifliup-set, and all protective duties
abolished ; ‘the South’ would not allow any
appropriations of public money, even when
the treasury‘ was overflowing,
rivers and improve harbors; ‘the South’
would allow nothing wliatsover to be done
iln aid of canals and railroads of the first
national importance ; ‘the South’ must
have the sub treasury scheme adopted,
since that, it was cyphered out, it would
diminish the money value of Northern
products, without affecting that of South-
ern, which is said to be goverened by hard
money prices abroad; ‘the South’ must
have all petitions relating in any manner
to slavery kicked out of Congress; ‘the
South’ must be allowed to revolutionize,
and then to annex Texas, for purposes
purely and avowedly Southern, and at last
to enter upon a general crusade for the
propagation of slavery through I\'Iexi<:o, by
cannon shot and sabre cut; in short, ‘the
South’ must be allowed to do everything
they pleased, and make the North do like-
wise, and all for objects in which the North
could feel no legitimate interest—nay,
wherein its interest must be entirely ad-
verse to the policy so forced upon it.=—-
"Illiu's ‘the South’ carried the day at Balti-
more, and nominated an obscure and in-
significant ma-n- for President-—not because
she" cared for hirrr, or deemed him deserv-
ing of the station, but simply because he
was regarded as a trusty adherent to the
policy of ‘the South.’
This thing has been run into the ground,
as such are apt to be. The revolt of New
Ha-mpsl7i:ire', so long blindly subservient to
Southern dictation, was an omen which
the wise could hardly fail to understand.
Yet with all the power in its liands——tlie
President, the two most inflential places
in the Cabinet, unlimited patronage, a
bounteous treasury, a slave holding inajor-
ity in the Senate, and eight out of nine
Foreign Ministers, the. game iias pushed
on, and the country involved in an atro-
cious-war, calculated to extend still far-
ther t-he- territory and sway the ruling,
interest. All at once the bottom has fallen
out of the whole~concerii. The strain upon
it has been too great to be endured ; and
thou h apparently firm to the last, the last
has gansformed everything. . The treasu-
ry is bankriipted by the Mexican war, and
the ten millions of new shin plasters will
hardly preserve it from protest till Con-
gress can meet again, three months hence.
The war, so expensive and so inglorious,
has outlived its popularity. The North
and Centre wince at the overthrow of the
protective pplicy; t(pe West is cbalgrined
at the ‘most ame an impotent conc usion
of the Oregon bluster, and rendered rebell-
ions by the veto of the harbor bill. 'I(‘}he
sceptre of ‘the South’ is broken; its 0-
minion will soon be amonnr things lost to
earth. The immense piitronazre in the
hands of Polk may or may not suflice to
patch up matters outwardly for a brief
season, but the spell is dissolved forever.
The next Lccofoco national convention
will nominate a Northern man for Presi-
dent ;: it will soon begin to be re-discov-
cred and proclaimed by the Northern
oracles of the dominant party that democ-
racy and slavery are by no means identical
—-in fact, that they are in some respects
antagonists. The ascendency of the
Athertons, Cliffords and C. J lngersolls
at the North—the day of gag laws, of pro
slavery m0l])1S and post office robberies in
defence oft e Unz'on—is over. *
- But we had intended to directicur Nor-
thern readers’ attention rather togthe wide
disparity between this arrogant, grasping,
over bearing spirit which styles itself ‘the
South’ and the Southern States—at least
a great portion of them. The present
attitude of North Carolina affords a forcible
illustration of this. This State is situated
in the very heart of the old South—tlie
South of \Vasliin ton, Jefferson and the
men of the Revoliigtion. She is proverbial-
ly steady in her attachments, firm in her
principles, and little liable to be urged
hither and thither in chase of the wiil-o-
wisps of intrigue and ambition. Enclosed
between Virginia and South Carolina, their
influence upon her. must naturally be
eonsiderable,,and.all in favor of the new
light fanatical sp.i.ri.t of slavery extension
which claims to be- ‘the South.’ All this
Texas drama has passed before her eyes
-—her,Vl/big Members of Congress have
fouglét against Annexation boldly, manfully
——an an attempt to instruct her Senators
to sustain Annexation was voted down in
her Legislature by a clear and full Whig
vote. All her VVhig Members have strug-
gled against the tariff of ’4-6 from first to
last,and against every one of the measures
represented as so dear to ‘the Somh_’_.__
Yet hel‘ election is held, and what is the
rtisult? A Whig Governor by a majority
go. some 6 or 8,000, double his majority of
'l84~4~—~and a Legislature Whig in both
branches, by which the places 6r Messrs
Mangum and Haywood will be filled with
two decided VVhigs——a gain of one. A
better than Mr. Manguin could hardly be
if°““d- D083 this prove nothing’! i We
might Speak of the equally decisive VVliig
victory. in Kentucky, but she is hardly
‘recognized by ‘the South’ as a Slave State,
and is expected to go VVhig as a matter of
course. With North Carolina the case is
different. *
VVhat may we infer from all this’! Not
that th-e South, oi the I/Vhigs of the South
rega-rd- slavery as we do, or resist the,
‘Annexation. of Texas on precisely the same
rounds- Yet we do believe that the
sober, i-ntelligen_tj.iidgaa.'-nt of North Caro-
‘llml is not in favor of an extension of our
Slave ‘vc_rritory—does-not regard with favor
the policy which lias-viuvovled us "in war
wi.th;Me-xico: At home and in. the affairs
ockeyed off
to clear out‘
of their own State, her people -will not
to‘erate any dictatorial interference from
the free States with their slave holding,
however vicious they may privately regard
it. They choose to be left to manage that
matter in their own way But they do
not sympathise with the rampant school
of the other Carolina, which regards
slavery as ‘the corner stone of our Repub-
lican edi 'cc,’ and its extension and forti-
fications as the cardinal points of our
national policy. They take a different
view of the matter altogether, and are no
more offended that the people of the free
States love universal liberty and dislike
slavery than we are at them for not
agreeing with us. In short, the wisest and
best men of the South do not expect that
Northern men shall view slavery through
Southern spectacles-—they know it is nat-
ural we should not——-and a Northern man
who ma'kesa point of exhibiting to South-
erners liis affectionate regard for ‘the
peculiar institution,’ has not placed him.
self on the high road to their respect.
They may fancy they have a use for him,
but hardly that he will reflect credit on the
users. .
The North has but to maintain, as it
will, in spirit and in letter, the ground so
uobly taken by the House of_Represent-.i-
tires on the last night of the session, and
she and the South will know each other bet-
ter,respect each other more than they have
done. A bright prospect opens before us
——let no recreoncy to Northern principles
shroud it in thick darkness for unknown
years. The times demand firmness and
action.
Arrival of the Caledonia,
Ten days later from Europe.
The Steamer Caledonia arrived at Boston on

Another attempt has been made on the
life of the King of the lirench. \Vhile
[seated at a window in the Palace of the
P Puilleries to listen to a concert performed
by the National Guards, on the 30th tilt. a
man in the crowd drew a pistol, and fired
two shots at the King. He missed him,
and was immediately arrested. His name
was Joseph l'lemi. He said he was weary
of life, and resorted to this crime as a
means of meeting death.

L7'zrecztz'on. of I/V3/'-t-'.——\’Ve are indebted
to Mr. B. F. Hall, Esq. of Auburn, for the
following report. At precisely 3 o’clock
on Monday afternoon VVyatt was execu-
ted by the Sheriff, in presence of tl'icJud-g-
es of the Court, Surrogate, Clerk‘, District
Attorney, and twelve other citizens. At
half past ‘2 o’c.lock they proceeded to the
place of execution in the jail, and near
\Vyatt’s cell.
The prisoner fainted and soon recover-
ed, and was then led to a chair under the
halter and seated. He again sw-ooned.
At a quarter before three the Sheriff adjus-
ed the rope, when \\'_\'att said, in substance
——““.-lr. Slicriff, I want to say il few words
be’ore I die. I have seen much, and have
experienced much in this world, but it
‘will soon be over. I respect you, and I
respect your family, I hope the community
will not blame my Counsel. They have
done all they could for me, and lliope the
people will not censure them. When
Judge Sisson Stlltl a Cler_gym:in told him
about the Viclrsburg afliiii-,1:-aid then what
I say now—a Minister of the Gospel can
tell what is not true—I never killed a man
in Ohio, and I now sav it on the word of
a dying man, I have lived like a man, and
I shall die like a man."
“I hope all present and the community
will have compassion, and forget me; but
I am not afraid to die. I wish you would
place the rope so that it will not give me
pain. I ivant to say one thing more. It
is not calculated to benefit a man to go to
the State Prison, and be treated as l have
been. Good bye, Mr. Slieriffl good bye.-

administering in the course of his lectures
the Protoxide of Nitrogen, or, as it is
commonly called, laugliiug gas, in order
to ascertain how great an influence the
imagination had in producing the effects
consequent on respiring it, secretly filled
the India rubber gas-bag \vitli_ common air
instead of gas. it was taken without sus.
picion, and the effects if anything were
more powerful than upon those who had
really breathed the pure gas. One com-

pugilistic propensities, and before he could
be restrained, tore to pieces the coat of
one oftlie bystanders,wliile a third exclaim-
ed, ‘this is life. 1 never enjoyed it before.‘
The laughter that followed the exposure
of this gaseous tr_ick may be imagined.
Sir Humphrey Davy, being once- about
administering this gas to a person afflicted
with paralysis, applied the bulb of ather-
mometer to his mouth, in order, to ascer-
tain the teiiiperatureof his system. The
patient being ignorant of the manner of
ta‘--ing the gas, felt instant relief, and by
holding the tliermometer for a short time
longer in his mouth, acomplete and per-
manent cure was effected.——-S1.r2'77g. Gaz.
