Even if alt their grievance may aot be redreMed. they will bail with delight anything which will anabl tbem to believe they will aot be wantonly outraged, and reckleealy denied equal partkipatiim ii the right and privilege which our eonetitutioa promiee to tbem. The South doe not sk of the North to aorrender any of her principle or to aubmit to anything which would give tb South aa undue preponderance la the juvemment. All that they aak la that they will eeaa thia eternal warfare upoa our inetitutiea with which they have no concern, and cultivate a fraternal spirit toward tb South; that their citiien ahould not abuae and outrage Ihe (helinga of our people, but that they ahould manifest a dUpoaition tn cultivate a conciliatory temper between the two aertiona. on which will tend to mutual forbearance and charity. We believe that the South la truly dmpoaed to cultivate peaceable relatione, and. If met in the am apirit, will opp. no obatacl to the gn eral god fueling and harmony which ahould characterize u a a people. If we are not mi taken, we -e enrna audi indication in the action of Coagre, which will juatify ua in indulging. the hope that thia long protracted content will sob be brought to a ctoae, and the cloud which haa hung a long orer our proepecta aa a nation. will be diapelled, and that in the annthlne of peace we may lie permitted to enjoy those blca ing which our eupcrinr inatitutiuna guarantee toua But there are enmo, who think that in the event tf a aettlement leing elfi-cted, it will be but tem po ray and that the northern politicians will stir up aciintcat more hitter and BKire acrimonioua than any w have before had; that every con teat between the North and tho South ha been more ecvore than the proceeding one, and that it will continue to be ao until it produce a rup ture. ecannottielievethattbiswillbetheeaae. W hope for better thing from both sections, and believe that knowing the great danger in which we have been involved, they will eierclae that spirit of moderation, wliiub wiU.affnotuaH v protect them from any anch danger. Rut auppoae thia ahould be the ease. The South will then see tlutt she muet depend m we apon her own resources, and establish that prac tical operative independence, without which any other kind of liberty war a baae thraldom. She 0 ul better her manufacture and agriculture, she could develop her resources of iron, coal, lime, She could build up ber seaport towns, es tablish an extensive and flourishing commerce. which would onable her to import -directly toj her own porta, and thus be perfectly indepen dent of Northern importation. Her mean and her resource! have gone long: enough to build up northern . cHica. auluxiui and soIUgea, and have contributed to give thorn that immense wealth which enable them to wield sui'h an influence over the destinie of our country. heartily concur in ttio following al.1o end spirited remarks of the Richmond Republican aa to the duty of the South in auch an emergency, and commend them to the aertoui consideration of our roadera: .

We do not believ that any eonaiderable por tion of the people of North Carofin are, inaiiy maimer, favorable tn any "aehrmes, whicK will, by (he remoteat possibility, endanger the integ rity of th Union. Our ancestors of revolution ary memory weighed well the) blessings which would accrue to tbem from the adoption of th Constitution, and, after mature deliberation, de termined to ratify It, and thereby pledged tbem- aelvea, ao far as it waa in their power, to pre serve It inviolntej and to hand down Ita blessings to their remoteat poeterity. Coming into the Union in good fnith, they expected the provia- iona of the compact to be carried out in the eamo spirit which had actuated them in agreeing to thia mora Intimate I'nion. They never consid ered 1) a -question which ahould be eerlously maintained whotlier they would be deprived of J " matruinent guarantie 10 them.

But aflor all, th peopl of thi State do aot favor iliaunion, or do they wish for anything to ho don which may endanger tho I'nion or, In the slightest degree, weaken tli attachment of th people of one portion of the country to those of another. They feel that they hav Buffered long aad, much, that they hava endured many and heavy grievance of Which they may well complain, that they haro been outraged in their feeling, trampled upon, and maligned i Yet, af ter all, they ar willing and anxiuu that their gricrancea ahould ho redressed ia a constitution al way, and that tbeir right ahould b protected by lure of law. W are salia&ed that a large portion of th people of our State arc mora do- stroul to eee qulel rnatored to the country , ao tho distracting questions which perplex our national council quietly settled and pcac re stored one mors, than to witnee th triumph of any party, .Our peopl ar a union peoples they (orer, vnra andyfecpect it; jraad iritt jtw- fend it with all their power. But this doss aot prevent them from contending for juatico tibia th Constitution. Tbey know that tbers i a right and a wrong way to accomplish everything, and they are siitisfled that the way tut them to oppose Northern fanaticism, and to resist North- era aggression, is to meet tho danger face to face, to present a bold (rout to those who would ride them down to the dust, and to declare to thorn that every effort oa their part to force pal pable wrong upoa our people, should be met la th spirit of determinatloa which animated our forefather in that long and tiuful atrgjle (or 1 wj 9Wtrty aad that librty which "M Arnart aa woald wiQi Bgly fjm wp aalm with tbem k tlMBMtlutBta.

Wo repeat it, we do aot believ that th peopl of this Stat desire any osuloughtto be made upon tb Constitution or upoa the laioa: Tbey in tend to maintain the integrity of tb one, and contend with all their power forthnir right c- pxa the other. Thia ia the only true policy thia is the oouraa which the whi I1 South ahould aMpt.

THE TEXAS D1FFIITI.TY. , All cyea are turned to Congres with anxious concern to sec what it will do to extricute the country from the peril into which it ia now thrown. The long and labored diacuaaion of the matters at issue between the two sections of the country, haa prepared the public mind for a wpeedy and quiet aettleinmt- of every qucatioo which may disturb the harmony of our national Councils, or excite jcaloueiea and animosities be tween the citiien of different sections. But th matter iu dispute between Texas and the1 '- nited Statea boa asaumed quite a new phase. Resistance to th military government eatablish ed by th United States over the territory of New Mexico, is threatened by the authorities of Texas, and the nation la about to be plunged in to a frightful atruggle before an opportunity may b offered for auch a dioaition to be made of thi matter aa will prove satisfactory to Texaa and to the whole South.' We had hoped that the bill of Mr. .Pcaree, which passed the Senate, would have been token up and passed Yty the other house without dolay so as to have -put it In the power of the Xegislatur oTTexas, now in sessioo, to ratify it, if it be acceptable to them. and thus put thia matter forever to rest. But if Texas forestalls the United States, if she takes possession of that territory and pro vokes a collision between her troop and the U nited Statea forcea, and dnclaroa she will aubmit to no compruuiiae, will auffer no adjustment to be made, but will retain tb whole territory by force, we aee nothing but tlie most doloful pros pect tn the furore;"- Whoever may be right, or whatever oujj be the proper plan to adopt in thi emergency; such a course would inevitably fan the flames of discord between the two sections vf th .country., whitb. would break .out. .and spread devastation and destruction over the land. Such a contest would arise as has never stained the annals of our country, contest in which vic tory on either side would be a disaster to both But we hope that the threatened collision will be prevented, tlutt a returning spirit of modera tion will pervade our councils, and that we shall iwnaee all dooger'-depart,.1as tbi rniaui bcfiirc tlie riaing sun. Whatovor may be the rights of .Texas, (and we do not pretend to decide upon them how) she should bCJtreated aa an equal in thia confederacy, her claims ahould be heard and weighed, and justice be done to her and tn the general Government. V know that oxi queation involved in thia dispute boa prevented and will still prevent its settlement. Unless our Northern brethren would consent to ceaae thia continued agitation on the question of slavery and give to tb South anything like a fair pro portion of this newly acquired territory, not only would all danger of Collision between Uie gen eral Government and Texaa be avoided, but the whole subject in dispute would be settled in a week. It is useleas to toll the South that tlie Wilmot Proviso will not be urged or cannot be passed, because the North see that their euda caa be accomplished by other means in aa effec tual a manner. But if a fair division of thia newly acquired territory, purchased by the com mon blood and common ' treasure of the whole country, be made, it make no manner of differ ence as to the particular way in which it ia ac complished. The South w-anta a fair division and ahc will not be satisfied with less. If this bo made, it will matter but little with Texas wheth er this territory be within her jurisdiction or not, lor then her citisena will have the same oppor tunity to emigrate to it with tbeir property aud to enjoy it there aa the citisena of other Statea. ' We would not propose any ullimtJutn for tlie settlement of this question. We believ that both sections ahould hold themselves ready to accept any proposition which shall deal fairly with alt the States, aad not declare that it must bo done in one certain manner and that only, meet with tbeir approval. to CHOWAN FEMALE INSTITUTE.

Unless aome satisfactory evidence ia soon giv en that the public sentiment of tho North, in re gard to the matter of fugitive slaves, is not rcp reaented by tho violent outrages of its negro and Abolitinniet moba.it will become the Legislatures of the Southern States to consider the- proper means of redressing injuries to their citisena, which have defied all attempts at prevention. The lato ocurrence at Harrislnirg haa produced a good deal of excitement along the Pennsylvan ia border in Virginia, and although the inhabi tants of that section are aa slron;?ty attached to the I'nion as any people enn be, they seem to he losing patience at the evil of having their slaves enticed away, and protected from reclamation by the cuuuing deceits of Northern officers. The Martinaburg Gazette, usually a moderate and discreet pnperproposes, as a practical and prompt remedy, "to form armed parties or companies and send them in purauit offugitive alaves that might be arrested, and Abolition mob put down nt all haxnrda.''

THE TEXAS i,E(;isLATLKEv The donates in the Texas legislature show that there ia no'difierence of opinion whatever in that body on the subject of the rights and duty of the State in relation to the Santa Fe territory. Every man is in'favbr of asserting State jurisdiction, and of raising the necessary troops; although some differences exist aa to tlie proper atris to he taken and the ways and means and mode of raising them. The eash resources of the State treaaurv consist of I about 35.0OO. whicH haa been raised by an I annual iier crnlagr of the revenues of the State ' and set asitlc under the constitution to form a school fund. Some of the members think this cannot be constitutionally taken, but the general opinion appears to be that it may be used, and remain "a charge upon tho Stale," until the common school fund ie established. The subject w as discussed in joint committee of both hoiiaes on the Iflth. The principal subject of debate waa the number of the troops it might be iiectasary to raiser aiid-'trptrirmwrTPd benwwn 'BNhnrtr ing a ajiei-ific force and giving the Executive the power of raising as many as he may find necessary for the purpose of completing, the submission of the inhabitants of the Santa Fc counties.

The full accounts of tlie proceedings in Suntn Fe, relative to the formation of a State govern ment for that portion of territory commonly known as New Mexico, are important ns well as interesting. They show in a new light the mo tives and designs of the persons who have lieen .most anxiuiis to consummate .the independsnc of tho Territory and its admission into tlie 'Cnion aa a State. Desire for office and ambition of power appear to have penetrated to that remote region, and induced a hasty and inconsiderate course of action on a subject of vast importance. N one ran read tlie detailed accounts of the whole ; affair without becoming euoviueed that from ita commencement to its termination all precedent w,as overridden, jind a novel and inad missible mode Of proceeding introduced. We have already called attention to the mannor in which the people of Santa Fe began their move ments in favor, uf.ijiilependeiit State sovereignty; the proclamation for an election of members of a convention, the formation of a constitution and its adoption by the pconle. all of which imoor- taiit event hapicncd within tho short space of. minv aays. When we consider that the lepgth of the dis trict included within the1 houndarioe claimed by the newly formed constitution, is about Xfli) miles, that the population ia small in number, and scattered over an extensive area, that inter communication is exceedingly slow and difficult, we arc at a bias to account for a celerity in legis lation, and action unequalled in the oldest and moat densely populated States in the I'nion. We can eoarcely solve the problem, Kept hy considering that only the inhabitant of .Santa F and its immediate neighborhimd 'wereat all concerned in the movement. This Opinion is corroborated by many circumstances, and par ticularly by th report of Major Neighbors, the Texan Commisaioner, who traversed a consider able portion of the country, in the prosecution of bia miasion, to organize that part of it east of the Rio Grande under the laws of Texas. We can easily imagine that a few persons, whfi by wealth or ability may have attained an influen tial position in New Mexico, should desire an in-1 dependent government, under which they might reacn me nignesi Honors ot tlie Stai ence to dependence on Texas, in wh tbey could not preaerve their relativ It la probable that the desire to represent a Stat in the Senate or House of Representatives, to be a Governor, Lieutenant Governor or mem ber of the Legislature, haa had more effect in producing the present state of tliinirs in New Mexico than a disinterested regard fur therighta of either Texas or the United States. The quea tion of the admission of New Mexico into tb llnion will now probably soon be brought before Congress through the demands of tbe recently elected Senator and Representative. That body will of course exercise the discretion which It has always used in such cases, and if It finds not only tnal Uie proceeding in tbis instance nas been in defiance of precedent, but that tb rights of other parties would be infringed by comply ing with the demand for admission, we hope there will be no hesitation in promptly rejecting it. It is protiaMe that when the question of '1imViik'ImM:mil3'iU fawtAoa-ofj territory parciuuea rrom ner, will, in addition to mat lying west of tlie 11 m Grande, aud forming the remaining part of the province of New Max ico,be erected into a territorial government, and compelled to undergo a king pupilage before ta king an independent position aa a member of the Union. In favor of the immediate admission of New Mexico without regard to th claim of Texas two arguments are made nse of. which involve palpable fallacies ia reasoning and errors of fact. Una is, tbal 6y our treat y stipulation with Mexico we are bound to live to Uie territories ceded by her, the benefit of Stat government when they shall posses tlie requisite qualifica tion) th other la that under th constitution cel unfavorable lo tlie rishls of Texas, and aev-1 J." 0 "P"nch wl"n, P"'1'"'""' 1 pwt to sec Smith Carol ni thnw n, her haV era. member, said they would no, votofur.aup. j "Ull j Tito'l Dortvfvof that Hntise ui (he bill.
