Iknton, who is known to Uj inculiar. 'f llrprtciitatirrs. Mr. IlaJ-r in bis printed ypceel jjs rexvm fur voting srainst the bi h, assigns bill to be, that the Suth puned nothing, but urreu- , dered every tL;ng. He says it is his delibe- - ' ' .1 . t l 1 t tit rate conviction, that slave-boMers should be a!!- w-i to tattle in California., and then make an inynious and tcihnkal argument to prove, that I ongn-ss have the right to ex clu !c f Ltved U-rj fruua doing . Knowing, then, as he imijt have kno.vn, that there is no probability of Congress ever paving any law to tnai ci;t i, wuv did be oniMtse thcon- lv r'.ati nbkh prolxibiv ever will be offered to the slave-holders, of Juiug what he fay t.i -v onlit to ! all'iwel to do?

It is th opinion of nme of our ablest eonsti- tutinil lawvcrs, including Mr. Webster, j that Congress bis no right to acquire foreign j terriVrv; that it is a caus umisHs in the j Constitution. If thUojtinion is a sound one, is it n-'t moivtrrus that Congress should first r.r:rp the iwcr to attach a foreign territory to the Union, and then pnern that territory in :ch a manner as virtually to exclude a large portion of the people of this country frm emigrating to it Vet thi is the legi timate le!uctin from the argument of Mr. IJjdgers Spetcb. If there was any reasonable ground for il ubt a to what were Mr. Ba lr's opin ions upon the !ave question at the time of bis re-election to the Senate, all doubt must U? removed by tbe course be pursued during tbe last session of Conjmss. When the an- nnal appropriation bill was before tbe Senate, Mr. Walker offered an amendment which extended tbe Constitution and certain Laws of the United States over our conquered ter- n tones, ibis arocndinent was violently op- nosed by the ultra Northern Senators. Mr. nia, tbe protection of the Constitution of the United States; be, Mr. Dayton, contending that at present tbe Constitution docs not ex tend there. Mr. Badger's name, without a word of explanation, is recorded in the mi nority, Toung 'against this amendment, in company with Dayton, Davis of JLvuachu setts, I file. Corwio, and all the violent fana tics.; - If the old proverb is politically true, that a man is known from his associates, Mr. Badger elect his company, ia voting, rery unfortunately. He opposed the compromise because tbe South gained too little ; I sup poe be rot4l against Walker's amendment because the South gained too much. I am jaU thore Beyer will be that equal justice rneted oat in Congress, which bis nicely balanced mind requires, and in tbe mean time bis constituent must " go to tbe wall." Mr. Badger intimated in bis speech on the compromise bill, " that ho could point out a very just and equitable mode which wiuld save the honor of all the parties to this agitating question,", and although twice asked on the floor of the Senate what tht was, I U lieve he has never yet divulged it. I suppose it is quietly reposing along side of his friend Ilonton's plan of the Mexican campaign : and it is hoped, for thJ benefit of posterity, when all the wars are over, they will both bo putIisuCiL That Mr. Jtodger is a Southcm man with Xorthcrn lrinciples, it Heems to me no man can doubt who is willing to admit his speech aii'I his votes as evidence of bis opinions. When tbe. resolutions which passed the last 1 legislature were before the House of Com m nis, thev Were bitterly opposed by his articular Tricnds, one of whom called them "a trap for .Mr. Ikulgcr." These resolutions art mild and temperate in their character, an Iuu J.t other circumstances, they would have passed the House of Commons as they did the Senate, without serious opposition. Mr. Ikulger and his friends certaiuly have no right to complain that the members of the IegisJature did not shape their course to suit his peculiar views. He was treated with extraordinary courtesy and great ten derness, considering the nature of the case. The resolutions are presumed to speak the sentiments of the people of North Caroliua ; a: all events, they were the sentiments of the body whk-h elected Mr. U.ulger; and if they are not his, he is bound to suppose that he was elected under a misapprehen sion of his political opinions. Under such circumstances, he has a bright example of what conscientious men deem to be a duty, in the conduct of bis immediate predecessor and neighbor: an example the more forcible, as it is taken from a party who bysomeof his friends are said to be particularly fond of office. One cxtraordiuary feature in this contro versy, is that the advocates of Mr. Badger claim to be the peculiar friends of the Uni on, forgetting that his votes against the Compromise hill and Walker's amendment, were calculated to keep up the excitement and ultimately endanger the Union. Mr. Stephens, of ( Jcorgia, one of the eight Southern members of the House of Repre sentatives who voted with the freesoil party to defeat the Compromise bill in that House, said on the floor, that he would vote against the Territories in every shape, unless slavery was admitted expressly. This course al though hopeless of a good result, is at least manly ; and I suppose the bold (Jeorgian in-t-nds, when voting is found useless, to stand to his arms. As Mr. Badger is not, I pre sume, prepared for that extremity, I cannot understand how, whilst voting acainst a measure calculated to strengthen the Union, , i his friends whi sustain him, can claim any luvrn, as jietruii.ir ineuus oi me union ; uu- '1?W r' l;v"-r's friendship for the Union is exhibited in the same extraordinary way . , . ( i i - r . . . .. . ,r M . , r ? . , ' , . , ,f I mr.

I did not attend the caucus and proclaim niy objections to Mr. Badger, because I was well aware that by so doing, I would merely incur a great deal of ill-will, without doing any go.!; and I preferred keeping aloof from the contest about the Senatorial elec tion. It always affords me very great plea sure to act with my political friends, when I can conscientiously do so, without violating a still higher obligation my duty to my constituents. When such a crises occurs, 1 have no other guide than the dictates of my own understanding ; nor was I aware that in voting according to its promptings, without attempting to influence others I was giving just cause of offence to any one. If the day has arrived in North Carolina, when the intolerance of party will not allow private judgement to any one, I admit it is of no consequence to the people what are the opin ions and votes of their public functionaries.

As small letters hurt the sight, so-do prnall matters him that is too much intent upon; they vex and stir up anger, which be gets an evil habit in him in reference to great affairs. Plutarch. To Remove Mole.- Touch them with elixer of vitrei. The point of a splitter dipped in the vitrol and applied to the mole . is perhaps the best mode. Put it on several times until the mole is burned out, then rub it with sweet oil or dress with salve. The mole will not grow in again, but a mark will be left like a pock mark, which is preferable to a mole, especially if a pencil grew out of it. ; A Funny Thing. Oar friends, P and S 1 one evening met, at the house of an acquaintance, some young ladies for whom both gentlemen entertained tender feelings. , In the spirit of frolic ona of the s young ladies blew out the lamp, and our two friends, thinking it a favorable moment to make known the state of their feelinsrs to the fair object of their regard, moved seats- tbe same instant, and placed themselves, as they supposed, by the lady's side ; but she also had moved, and the gentlemen were m reality seated next each other. 'As onr friends could not' whisper, without betray ing their whereabouts, they both gently took, as they thought the band of tbe charmer, and when, after a while, they ventured to give a tender pressure, each was enraptured to and it returned with an unmistakable t squeeze. It jnaywe!( be imagined that the moments flew rapidly in their silent inter change of mutual affection. But the rest, wondering at the unusual silence of the gentlemen, one of them noiselessly slipped out and suddenly returned with a light there st our friends P. and S-, most loving- ly squeezing each other's had, and supreme delight beaming in their eyes. Their con sternation and the exstacy of the ladies may be imagined, but not described. Both gen tlemen sloped, and P. was afterwards hear d to say -that he thought all the while S.'s hand frit hard.

James Roche, long celebrated in Baltimore as a baker of excellent bread, haviiicr retired from business, has furnished the Baltimore American with the following receipt for mak ing good bread, with a request that it should Ikj published for the information of the pub lic : "Take an earthern vessel, larger at the top than the bottom, and put in it one pint of milk-warm water, one and a half pounds of flour, and half pint of malt yeast; mix tfaem well together, and set it away (m4win- tcr it should "tJe-in a warm place) until it rises and falls again, which will be in from three to, five hours; (it my be set at night, if it be wanted in the morning) then put two large spoonfulls of salt into two quarts of water, and mix it well with the above ris ing, then put in it above nine pounds of flour, and work your dough well, and set it by until it becomes light. Then make it out in loaves. The above will make four loaves. u As some flour is dry and others runny, the above quantity, however, will be a guide. The person making bread will observe that runny aid new flour will require one-fourth more Kilt than old and dry flour. The wa ter, alsoi should be tempered according to the weather ; in spring and fall it should be only mi&-varm ; in hot weather cold; and in winter warm." Complain Not. Whatever be your con dition inwardly or outwardly let not a complaint fall from your lips You may be por and be obliged to work bard day by day ; but this world is a place of toil. Mil lions have toiled before you who are now at rest in the kingdom above. Are you abus ed ? So was the most perfect man the world ever saw. Abuce will not injure a sterling character. Harsh words rebound to the speaker's own hurt. Are you cheat ed ? So is every honest man. If you com plain at every mishap at every slander at every dog at your heels you will pass a life of misery. The best course is, to suffer without complaining, and to discharge all your duties faithfully as in tho fear of God. The man who has a snarl always in his brow a seorn on his lips and a mountain on his back not one of which he can muster courage to remove is of all men the most miserable. If you complain at the trifles now, before you die, you will embitter every hour of existence, by your unhappy dispo sition. When our flag was, unfurled from its staff in Tampico, an aged Spaniard was heard inveighing, with- lugubrious earnestness, against the pertinacity with which that flag had pursued his . fortunes. In broker En glish he exclained, I was de Spanish coun cil in de Louisiane, when dat flag he was raise, and I go to Pensacola, but soon dat flag he was over me derc. I live then in de Texas, but dat flag follow me dere. Says I, I go where dat flag never come. I come to Tampico, but here is dat flag again. I believe if it go to the bevil dat flag will fol low me dere.' Traveller Direction. A friend who had travelled, relates the following as a literal direction given to him by an inhabitant of a remote town in New England, in reply to his inquiry for the direct road to -meeting house: "Well, ah, stranger, you go right straight ahead, till you come to a large oak tree, then you take that fere tree on your right sholder, and go oir till you come to the bnck schoolhouse, then take the schoolhouse oa your left sholder, and keep straight on till you come to Squire Wingate's, and then do you take the Squire's house right on your- back, and 3-ou can't miss the way " TypograjJiicul Wit One meeting n ac quaintance, who was a printer by profession, inquired of him ; ('U it was true that Mr. T. had put a period to his existence ?" "No, o," Wji3 tbe reply cf tbe typographer 'he had oMlypufc a colon, for he is now ia a fair way of recovery." Proof Reayling. Some funnily apnronri- ate imperfections and mistakes will creep jnto-a sectetice in its transit from manu script tovthe proof slieet. Ib ourasta sen tence reading "many -members vrt, and amoung them Mr: Speaker .

Mandie&ter Messenger. . Potato Pudding. Boil a pound of j fine potatoes, peel them, mash them," and rub them through a cullender; Stir together to a cream, three quarters of a; pound of sugar and the same quantity of butter. Add to them gardually, a wine glass of wine and a glass of brandy a tea-spoonfol of powdered mace and cinnamon, a grated nutmeg, and the juice and grated peel of a large lemon. Then beat six eggs very light and add them by degree's to the mixture, alternately with the potato. Jiake it three quarters of an hour in a buttered dish. To toJce out Marking Ink. Wet some chloride of lime with warm water, and rub it on the mark with'your finger; repeating it till the ink disappears. Wash out the place immediately ; as, if left in, the chlo ride of lime will injure the linen,' Oxalic acid or salt of sorrel, rubbed on after the mark has been wetted with warmvwater; will also take it "out. To Remove Fresh In7c from a , Carpet. -As soon as the ink has been spilled, take up as much as you can with a spoon, and then pour on cold water repeatedly, still taking up the liquid with the spoon. 'Next, rub the place, with a little wet oxalic acid or salt tof-sorrel, and wash it off immediately, with cold water. ' ' ' To Remove Ink-Spots from White Clothes. This must be done before the clothes are washed. Pick some tallow from the bot tom of a clean mould caudle. Rub it hard on the ink-spots, and leave it sticking there in bits, till next day, or longer. Then let the article be washed and boiled ; and if it is merely common ink, the stain will en tirely disappear. Of course, this remedy can only be used for white things, as colored clothes cannot be boiled without entirely fad ing them. We know it to be efficacious. The tallow must be rubbed on- quite cold. The following anecdote is told in an old book, of the Ilev. J ohn Bulkley, a grandson of President Chauncy, and the first settled minister in Colchester, Conn. "The Rev. Mr. Bulkley was famous in his day as a casuist and sage counsellor. A church in his neighborhood had fallen into unhappy divisions and contentions, which they were unable to adjust among themselves. They accordingly deputed on one of their number to the venerable Bulkley, for bis services, with a request that he would send them his advice in writing. The matters were taken into serious consideration, and the advice, with much deliberation,- commit ted to writing. It so happened that Mr. Bulkley had a farm in the extreme part of the town, upon which he entrusted a tenant. In supercribing the two letters, the one for the church was directed to the tenant and, the one for the tenant.to the church- The church was convened to hear the ad vice which was to settle all disputes, and the moderator read as follows: You will see- to the repair of the fences, that they he built high and strong, and you will take special care of the old bkick bull This mystical ad vice puzzled the church at first, but an in terpreter among the more discerning ones was soon found,- who said: ' Brethren, this is the very advice we most need. The di rection to repair ths fences is to admonish us to take good heed in the admission and and government of our members; we must guard the church by our Master's laws, and keep out strange cattle from the fold. And we must in a particular manner set a watch ful guard over the Devil, the old black bull, who has done so much hurt of late.' All perceived the "wisdom and fitness of Mr. Bulkley 's advice, and resolved to be govern ed by it. The consequence was, all the animosities subsided, and harmony was restored to the long "afiiicted church." The MoOier,law.lYosake not the law of thy mother," is the text of a printed sermon, preached by the Rev. Chandler Bobbins, and occasioned by the recent death of the mother of the late Judge Story.1 It is an appropriate and . beautiful discourse as may be inferred from the following passages : '""' 1 It is told to the honor of the great Lord Bacon; that he felt he could never repay his obligations to her who had directed his studies as well as nourished his virtues ; that he delighted to speak of her through life and in his! will left, the injuntiori: 'Bury me i m bt.

Working ,in Drought.-Many are oppos ed to working corn . during the periods of drought, under' the impression that when thus worked, it causes it to fire: now if cflrn be workqd in dry weather with the plough, which necessarily cuts up and tears its lat eral and fibrous roots t he probability 13, that the blades will wither, and burn up, not be-o cause the earth has been stirred, but because the plants have been unnaturally depriyed of their meanst of suplying ; themselves with food and moisture from tlie earth, and because, by - the j absence of rain their power of reaction 'has been suspended, and they cannot re-supply themselves with a new sef les or ieeders. , Anus believing, we hesitate not in advancing the opinion,, that stirring the earth with the Cultivator, is de-. cidedly beneficial, in even the dryest periods! as all such loosetiing ; of the soil serves t prepare it to absorb and condense the dews and dispense "their refreshing influences to the roots ,pf the growing - plants.; If the 1 dews, -fall upon a hard surface, the suit 'ex hales them before Ithey can possibly do any benefit, whereas, if the surface be open and in fine tilth, as' a necessary consequence, much will sink 1 into . the earth before the evaporating power of the sun's rays can die disadvantageously operate, ' and thus will a moderate degree of moisture be preserved iu the earth at a time when it is most need ed. ' '1 '.. . "' '- TheLouisville Courier tells an amusing anec dote of "Old Ben Harden," who is known every where in the, west. It is stated that, like the rest of the .politicians, he has never been much in the habit -of praying; bu always made it a point to " say grace" after meals. -Crossing an old ricketty bridge over the Beech fork one day, just as he reached the. middle the pillars began to quake,, the tim bers to give way and Old Ben thinking ho was a goner, concluded if he had prayers to say he should. prepare to, say them then. The bridge cracked again, tumbled down, and just as old " Kitchen Knife" touched water he was heard to exclaim, in earnest tones, 11 1 thanktfiee ohl 'Lord, for all tJtese tliy grdo ions gifts."

The Two Sires.-j-The following true and elegant paragraphs! are extracted from an article by Mrs. Sigourney, 'whose mind is the dwelling of light and. beauty. , - " t , "Jtfan might be initiated into the variev ' ties of needle work; taught to have patience with the feebleness and waywardness ' of in fancy, and to steal With noiseless step about the chamber. of the jsick; and woman might be instructed to contend, for the palm of ' science; to pour forth eloquence in Senatesf," or to " wade thrd'i fields ; of slaughter to tt throne."

The sexes are intended for different spheres, and constructed in conformity , with their respectives destinations, by IIim who bids the oak brave the fury of the tempest and theAlpine flowey lean its cheek on the bo som of eternal snows. But disparity does not necessarily imply inferiority. The high , places of the, earth with their pomp and glo- , ry, are indeed accessible only to the march , of ambition or tbe grasp of power; yet those who pass with faithful and uriapplauded eal through their humble round of duty, are not unnoticed by the "Great Task Master's eje," and their endowments, ' though ac counted poverty among men, prove durable riches in the kingdom of Heaven. . -r Sensible to tTie Lak.rlhe Wisconsin Tribune stateAhat Mrs Booth, aged seventy-two years, recently gave birth to a fine, healthy son!
