It appears that only ten southern democrats voted for ad mission, while seventeen southern whig9 voted for it. All the northern whigs and all the north ern democrats voted for it. 4G southern demo crats voted against it, while only 10 southern whigs voted against. That shows which way the wind blows ; and who are " the submissionists." For the admission, 59 democrats and 91 whigs; against it, 40 democrats, 10 whigs ! THE INTERIOR. At last, President Fill more has found some one to accept the office of Secretary of the Interior. Mr A. H. H. Stuart, formerly member of Congress, of Virginia, has accepted, and been confirmed by the Senate. Five or six had declined. GEORGIA By certain resolutions of the Le gislature of Georgia, in regard to the slavery question, it was made incumbent upon the Govr ernor of that State to call a Convention of the people of Georgia, in case Congress should pa39 a bill to admit California as a State. Such a bill having passed, we learn from the Charleston Mercury that Gov. Towns will call the Convention. fjCJ- The law passed by the California Legila ture, taxing all foreigners $20 for permission to dig gold, so exasperated the Mexicans that they banded together in parties, and whenever they could catch an American by himself, dispatched him to the other world. We believe the Ameri cans are now getting too well organized to give thern many opportunities to murder. CCJ- A valuable improvement in locomotive engines has been made. It will burn anthracite coal, without making smoke or sparks, and uses only about one-halt the fuel used by the unim proved locomotives. AlLwho- have travelled on railroads, know that the sparks and smoke from an engine that burns wood, is an intolerable nuisance. TEXAS. The Legislature, not willing to take the responsibility of rejecting or accepting the proposition of the general government in regard to the boundary, have submitted the subject to the people and adjourned. All right. IOWA is a great State for democracy. In her Legislature there are 5 whigs in the Senate, and 6 in the House, to 14 democrats in the Senatet and 32 in the House. MISSOURI. The Congressional delegation stands 4 w higs to 1 Benton democrat. We sup pose half a loaf is better than no bread. Slaves Running Home Again. The Delaware Gazette states that the seven slaves who some time since ran away from Mr Calvert, of Prince George's county applied at the watch-house for lodgings, in that city, a few nights since, stating that they had been to Pennsylvania, were tired of freedom, and were trying to get back to their masters. They stated that they had been decoyed off by a white man, whose name they did not know, by specious pro mises and delusive hopes, and that they much preferred living with Mr Calvert as his slaves than to lead the life they did after they reached their destination j and desired to be sent home. The mayof had them lodged in theail at New Castle, and sent a dispatch by telegraph to their owner, who had then removed to hisfoome. BALLOONING seems to have become all at once a mania n France arid Eng land. Besides the two ascensions of Mes srs. Bixio for scientific purposes and M. Poltevin's aerial excursion with a pony, there have been several others more or less remarkable. DrGale went up at Paris, with three other persons and had a success ful voyage of five or six leagues but encount ered great danger in getting down, on ac count of the country people, who opposed his landing among their fruit trees and grain fields. At London, Mr Green as cended with a pony weighing two hundred pounds; but before he could do so, he had to answer before a magistrate a complaint some benevoleut person who belongs to a society for the protection of quadrupeds against human cruelty. A physician testi fied that the voyage would not be likely to endanger cither the life or the health of the pony, and in view of his testimony, Mr Green was allowed to proceed. So say the papers. A Mrs. Graham of England, made re cently her fifty-foarth ascension. She must be, of all the aeronauts, the most ex perienced, we think, for none of whom we have read or heard have accomplished half that number of voyages. Spain, too, has caught the infection, and there is to be an ascension by Sir Monte mayor, that is to eclipse alt others. It will be a "flying frigate," the account say, provided with apparatus for generating gas, and many other things among them, pieces of artillery for firing signals, &c, &LC.Ghbe. From the Charleston EYeotag N-w THE JEWS. The Jews were not recognized as sub jects in England, until the reign of George the 1st. In the ninth year of that king, a statute was passed, authorizing the words "on the faith of a Christian" to be left out of oaths administered to them. In 174o an Act of Parliament acknowledged them as natural born subjects in the colonies, without taking the sacrament. Previous to these times they were pursued with varying fortunes. Cromwell nsed a kind policy toward them, as did also Charles the 2d, and James the 2d. The prejudices of the people, however, still followed them; and the law interposed its protection in vain. In 1690 King William was peti tioned to order the exclusion of Jews from Jamaica ; but he refused to grant the re quest. The obligation to take an oath opposed to tl-eir religious sentiments, now exists, and it is this which has lately rais ed the question ot exclusion from Parlia ment. The liberality of the judges dis penses with this oath, on Jews being call ed to the bar ; but existing in full force as to a seat in Parliament, of course no Jew is eligible. The treatment of the Jews in other European countries has been, if any thing, more cruel. In Home, they are cut off from the main city, and restricted to cer tain quarters, in the most unpleasant and unhealthy region. In Vienna, a certain family has the rights of citizenship, in consequence of public services performed by a Jew. In the wars of 1810, 1813, some of the German States passed ordin ances affording them protection ; and many, as a grateful return, entered the army and exhibited the most patriotic de votion. Among the Jews who fled from Portugal, on account of the persecution of the race, was Joseph Ben Israel, lie was on tw occasions arrested by the Inquisition. On the third, which would probably have been fatal to him, he fled, taking his son Man assah. The latter was a man of wonderful learning.; and did much for the ameliora tion of the condition of the Jews. As a race, the Jews have been remarka ble for their social virtues, and for their exemption from crime, and obedience to the laws of society. No more permanent system of charities exists, than that of the Jewish population. They have extensive and well supported institutions for the support and education of orphans, the poor, and sick. One Jew of London, A. L. Moses, Esq., at his own expense, has erected an almshouse in which twelve families are regularly mavntatned. Their charities are dispensed without stinf. Dur ing the season of Passover, the doors of Jewish mansions are always open? and an extra plate is placed on taWe for the strang er who chooses to enter and eat. If it be" objected that they love to amass gold, anil that the love of it is a national character istic, it may witrr truth' be replied that they dispense their gains in systematic and noble benevolence, which less frugal peo ple would do wefl to follow. In their families, and among then as neighbors peace holds Irer dominion and a fact re markably conducive to the good order of society is, that by the constitution and practice of their leaders petfy law suits are guarded against, and the courts of the country kept clear of disputes, often not only trifling in themselves but disgraceful and ruinous to the parties who expose them. Crimes are rarely committed by Jews-. The criminal calendar shews hery few in stances of great offences perpetrated by this race; and as for the petty officers such as thefts, house breakings, and burnings, there are, so far as our knowledge extends, no instances among them at all. As individuals, they are industrious and temperate, and conscientious. The inde cency oJ a drunken Jew, is more observed. The pecaliar social and personal merits of these people; their acknowledged dili gence and benevolence; their continued observance of the law, and faithful per formance of duty, entitle them to the good will and respect of all good men. Consid ering these things, it is a matter of aston ishment that they should have ever become the objects of such general and bitter per secution. Though long deferred, we trust the period is approaching, when bigotry ami party hatred, having worn out, mankind will see the injustice of treating this race as aliens, and award them a share in the common privileges of men, and of society. Sarcasm and ridicule, contempt and in vective may be sometimes the legitimate weapons wherewith to chastise treachery, bad faith, and dishonesty; but towards the Jews these have been invoked to the aid of the most cowardly persecutions; and for the depression of, and to stigmatize a race singularly heroic, ever engaged in the most laudable offices of humanitv, as a nation. just and patriotic; as individuals, devoted to the great charities ot hie, and distin guished for a peculiarity faithful discharge of the duties of every relation.
