JZditnrs of the Observer: It is evident that cannot support a party which in June endorses the Kansas bill and in February deuounces it. I mean to discharge njy duty to the Couutry as an independent .freeman, and I shall support the candidates of that party which endorses the Kansas and Nebraska bill and the Fugitive slave law, if such a party can be found, by whatever name it may be called. If the con dition of "the country was such as it was in 1844, I would vote the Whig ticket if one was presented. Now, things are eharfged.

I did not think that the resistance of a State, as such, to the General Government was of the same character as the resistance of a portion of the people of a State to the authorities of the State. In other words, although I did not go to the extent that many persons did, in my notions of State Rights, I was classed as a "secessionist," and denounced as an enemy to the peace of the Union and the integrity of the Constitution.

The question then arises, what is to be done with them? Are they to be admitted into the Union, polygamy and all, or are they to be compelled to form an independent empire between the Sierra Madre and the Sierra Ne vada? The United States has absolutely no con stitutional jurisdict ion of t he subject of marriage. It is obliged to accept the conflicting legislation of all the States as the law of the land for the particular region. The General Government in raising a question on the admission of a new State, which undeniably they have neither direct nor constructive control over, will put itself in an indefensible position.

In many respects, his career has been an adventurous and romantic one. The Padre was at one time a lawyer, and enjoyed a high reputation in his profession. He became involved in the political movements which have periodically agitated Nicaragua and the neighboring States, and his zeal carried him into difficulties, the consequence of which was death or exile. Choosing the latter alternative, he left Central America, and as he was prohibited from returning in the character of lawyer, soldier or politician, he resolved to become a priest, so that he might again reside in his native land, under the 'protection of the church. In his new capacity, (says the Delta), the Padre won many friends and rapidly rose to distinction in the ecclesiastical world, securing universal respect by his charity, his talents, and his unquestionable virtues.

In the bustle of the moment both babies were placed in a cradle, and to the confusion of the mothers' wi-.en the youngsters were taken from the cradle, they were unable to tell which was the mother's, and which was the daughter's son a matter which, of course, must ever remain a mystery. The family is in great distress over the affair. Albany Knickerbocker. Gi-TTi.vo . Rich - F.ST.--Mr ' Paul Kinsby, residing in Harrison county, - Kentuckj-, near Cynthiana, on awakening one morning last week, found that his stock had increased durino the night, eighteen mule colts, six calves and six negro children, the total value of which is about $2,400. Rather a prolific place, that Harrison county! Most Puaiskwouthy. We understand the Ladies (god bless them) of Chest erfield Village on Saturday evening last, incited thereto by the deleterous effects produced upon sundry persons by imbibing an exhileration lluid some times called ball face, waited upon the seller thereof in a body, ami emphatically informed him that he must and should cease to deal out the liquid fire. They generously offered to pay him for his stock, that they might legally empty it on the groiind. He prefered to remove from the village, which they consented to, provided he did so by last night, or they would then wait uponjiim again. .Chcrair Gazette.' Gov. Ru.on; in- thk Wkst.

C. last week, adopted several patriotic resolutions, and among them the two following, which assert the true States Rights doctrine: KesoJred, That the principle of the equal rights of the States, in the view of the Con stitution and ofall laws based upon it, constitutes the fundamental condition upon which the Union was formed and can alone be maintained. Hcsofrcd, That we recognise in the removal of the Missouri restriction upon th.' equal rights of the slave-holding States a practical ac knowledgment of that great principle upon the part of the Federal Government, and deem this a proper occasion to render our support and assistance to the Democratic party ill the nomination and election of a Presidential candidate who may represent the late action of that party upon this question, and whose claims of success may be made to depend not upon a combination for the spoils of office, but upon a fair presentation of the great issue which is to be joined between the friends of the equal rights of the States and a. strict construction, and those who are opposed to both. A FoirrvioHT with RraoANns. The Spanish journals record the capture of a gentleman of property by brigands Count de Vailariezo was carried off three weeks ago from the district of Toledo. 10,000 piastres were demanded from his family for his ransom. The family paid the money; but the local anthorites succeeded in seizing it before it reached its destination. The brigands, however, again notified the family that they expected this ransom, and the latter deemed it right, in spite of the prohibition of the authorities, to forward it to them On r3ceipt of it, the brigands immediately released the Count, and he arrived home eight days back. lie relates that the brigands on capturing him told him that he need entertain no fear, as they had taken him not to murder him,, but to do a good stroke of business by getting paid for his release, and they expressed their regret at being obliged to carry him into Portugal. He says also that when the brigands, who were always on the move during the day, encamped for the night, they gave him blankets to wrap himself up in, and that -when provisions happened to be scarce, they even stinted themselves in order that he might have enough. He says, moreover, that they appeared to possess a certain degree of education, and asked him if, on his visit to Madrid, he had not visited the opera and heard Rancon expressing suprise on being answered in the negative. .Sl-fixg Editors.

Rut whatever may have been the cause, the grandeur ot that view of Stromboli can never fade from my memory. "The pillar of fire rose, just as the waters of Niagara fall, in quiet consciousness of irresisti ble power; and as you gaze, you feel that it was I he power of God. The light of the as cending names ttitluseu nseir lar over me distant waters, and it was not difficult to believe that in a night of storm th lost mariner might see and bless its light, though a hundred miles away. As we came nearer, I could distinctly see red-hot stones rising iu the midst of the flame, and breaking like rockets iu a grand pyrotechnic exhibition, and scattering stars back again into the crater whence they rose. The crater is located perhaps one-third distance from the top, and while the larger portion of the lava falls back into its mouth to be again melted and again ejected, a constant stream is pouring down one ol the sides of the mountain, to its base, where it leaps into the embrace of the sea. A distinguished English engineer, who surveyed minutely this whole region, says that he saw at one time masses of red-hot stones, in a semi-fluid state, and accom panied with showers of ashes and sand, thrown j to the height of 00, TO 300, and even 1,000'; feet above the crater; and it required certainly but very little more activity iu that sea of lire ' . " I whose billows are ever seething iu the caverns! below Stromboli, to have made before us such j exhibitions of magnificence as he saw. I think that Stromboli is the only volcano in the world which never ceases its activity. It seems to be a vent for this whole volcanic region, and is probably connected with Vesuvius and Etna by some subterranean communication. ( Inlers please.

We learn from the Nashville Union and American, that another attempt was made to burn the penitentiary of Tennessee on Monday night week. About midnight, one of the wings containing the cells was suddenly lighted up, when the" guards and several of the prisoners gave the alarm : It appears that one of the convicts concealed under his clothes, some thin pieces of wood, a piece of iron ami a turpentine bull; and thus smuggled them into his c H. The bull he lighte'd bv means of a match, fastened it to the iron, which was appended to the wood, stud pushed it through a Hue or vent in his cell, to the rafters f that part' of the prison. It is probable that the entire building would have been destroyed but. for the tiineiy discovery. The attempt whs .t bold one, ami the -rpetrator implicates one of those '-oucerned in the burning of.March, 1855.
