t mmxm. WILMINGTON, N. C: -SATURDAY,, JUNE 30, 1855. STRANGE CONCLUSION. , The National Intelligencer, speaking of the Missouri Compromise, say : v : That compromise poured oil upon the waves of sectional strife, allayed the Irritation of the two extremes, and gave quiet and concord to the coun try for thirty years. What good has Us repeal aone 7 truai evu not u not aone 7 The Editors of the Intelligencer must have been " out of town," daring the exhibitions of hatred and strife that pervaded the northern 'portion of : the Union, daring the existence of this Compro mise. It did not quell the turbulence of aboli tionism, nor give satisfaction to the free States. They were always insisting on more than that, and never gave out any hope that they would con form to its provisions in any case that might test its power, if they could avoid it. . v f What good has it done 1" . This question is asked in relation to the repeal. ' It has placed the Constitution on its own pedestal, and removed it from the rest of shackling, treacherous Compro mises, subject to the whims and caprices of Con gressional majorities. If the Constitution is not strong enough to preserve the Union, it can never become so by this outside bolstery. If it will not answer the purposes intended within itself and of itself, it is good for nothing, and ought to give ' place to another. If the people will not or dare not assert its provisions, for all sections of the Union, it is a rotten concern and the sooner it is upset the better. -If the Union .passes through the peril before ns, as we hope it may, it will be stronger and -d to continue, white political efforts are constant ly making to destroy the rights of the South ; followed by personal ruffianism in the operations of constitutional law. opposition to FOREIGN POPULATION A MISTAKE. The statement of the New York Herald, which we published on Thursday, that the French and German citizens of the city of New York, were arming to oppose by violence the execution of the . Prohibitory Liquor Law, turns of to be a mistake. The following remarks on this subject arc from the Courier des Etats Unis : A certain number of our compatriots, those whose interests the temperance law is likely di rectly to affect, have thought it expedient to hold ( meeting to decide upon a line of common con duet in view of the eventualities preparing for us by the date an unfortanate one this time of the 4th of July. - The Herald comments with its bad faith and its habitual perfidy on. this strictly legitimate pro ceeding. It affects to see in it a menace of open resistance on the part of the French population of New York, against the putting in force of the Prohibition law, and evokes the phantom of a foreign insurrection in the streets of the imperial city. "i A calumny or a false assertion, the more or the less, is too ordinary a thing in the columns of Mr. Bennett's journal to be worth, in a general way, the trouble of dwelling a single instant upon it. Under existing circumstances, however, it is im portant not to allow an error of any kind to ob tain credit which may serve the antagonisms and passions of the moment. The French residing in the United States have always manifested in the exercise of their rishts and the observance of their duties, a loyalty which only' the most flagrant injustice and the most deep ly rooted prejudice can refuse to recognise. Amongst all the European nationalities sheltered by the hospitable flag of the Union, there is not one which practices to a higher degree than ours, respect for the laws, political reserve, and absti nence from intrigue. Menaced at present in one of the vital branches of its commercial interests, it may seek to avert a common peril by a com nion. action, but Uua wilful and unworthy cnl- nmnr ti iimnnlA to if. irlpaa nf vinlcin, an1 "P ed resistance. In spite of the rumors and alarms which certain journals endeavor to spread for different objects, we persist in thinking that the temperance law is destined to sink itself under the weight of its fla grant unconstitutionality and of its exorbitant ty ranny, lint should it unfortunately prove other wise if the blind obstinacy of sectarians should vnng aoont inevitable conflicts we boldly ven ture to predict that our compatriots will know bow to maintain their rights without incurring the reproach of having conspired against the pub lic Irannnillifv A . . The followins is from the Kem York Staff Zeilung: . The Herald pretends to have learned that the French red republicans hold meetings at their headquarters in Leonard street, ; to organise an aruieu iwrce, wun ine avowed design to resist, with arms in hand, every attempt to enforce the prohibitory liquor law, and that the Germans also are organized and drilled for the same purpose. 10 wis intelligence the Herald adds a recommen dation to the Germans and the French to lay down their arms, and cast from their minds all idea of an armed insurrection. We think that we can take upon us to assure the Herald that the Germans do not need its advice. In the beginning, a few ex citable individuals, which special interests were threatened Dy this absurd law, were prepared to abolish it by force of arms, before they had even found an opponent. But tho great majority of the Germans have too much common sense to be drawn thus hastily into any such , movement, the results of which could not but be permature and detrimental. The, most - excited amongst the persons to whom we allude have also bad time to eool down, and to understand that the legal course win give mem guarantees enough, and that the extreme measurers which were formerly agitated are entirely useless. Besides, the German press will do its duty in trying to recall to better feel ings, where necessary, the ardent and excitable spirits of the German population, as it has always done, and will always do, without awaiting the warning of the Herald. The following is from the New York Demokrat. Wc must say we admire the independent spirit of the concluding part : The New York Herald gives in yesterday's issue the startling intelligence that the Germans and French of New York are preparing to resist the enforcement of the temperance law, and have al ready established depots of arms for this purpose. In what those arms consist, whether muskets, pis tols, or revolvers, or whether they are of heavier calibre, such as cannons, culverins, and mortars, our contemporary, tho Herald, leaves us quite in the dark. He is, however, kind enough to add, by way f conclusion, the well intended advice that the Germans and French should beware of such an opposition to the law, if they do not want to be shot in the streets like dogs. The Herald in this statement presents some news to the public, about which the Germans are as ignorant as others. Where are, then, those largo depots of arms, those magazines of moni tions, those cannons, these culverins, those large pieces of ordnance and mortars 1 Wilt the Herald be so kind as to indicate to ns those places, or shall we look upon this exciting intelligence as a weapon which he often thinks proper to use a gaiust foreign citizens T The Herald may rest perfectly tranquil about the 4th of July. Its edi tor will not be kept awake by the firing of mus kets, or the thundering of cannons. But one thing we will tell the Herald no Neal Dow doings can be played off against the Germans. Were such things attempted, there would then indeed be a question of powder and shot, and then the Herald would probably be convinced that shooting down like-dogs is a phrase moro easy to use than to carry into effect. We would in that case also see showers of balls proceeding from a quarter from which on'y .a few balls are now expected to come. The temperance men of this place bad better not entertain the- impression that they have to deal with a crowd of Portland boys. We feel assured, however, that matters will not proceed to such ex tremities. The stupid statement of tho, Herald, together with the violent sentiments which it ut ters against the Germans, have suggested these few woxda- CELEBRATION OF!

PIRACY, j Piracy is now a days of rare occurrence, sea going commetct-being thoroughly protected a gainst depredators by the numerous European and American naval vessels scouring the ocean. Yet a case of piracy has lately occurred in the most fre- qnentcdneaof tbeold world, in the Mediterranean, off the coast of Barbary. This was the seizti re of an English ship called the Confidence, from North Shields, bound for Carthaeena, on the 30th of April, when about fifteen miles from land, off Cape Tres Forcas, by a fleet of five armed boats, con taining at least two hnndred pirates. The boats, which were quite large and full of men, appeared 10 no on tne watcn, as immediately upon seeing the vessel they came ont from a creek or river, and approaching within a quarter of a mile of the ship, opened a tremendous fire on her with very large swivel gnn. Until this fire was opened the Captain of the ship never suspected that the boats were pirati cal, but then seeing no other chance of saftty. launched his boat and made off with his crew. ! The pirates gave chase, shouting and flrin, but the night coming on, the crew escaped. Next day at four o'clock P. M., the captain and crew encountered the ship Lively of Stockton, deser ted by her crew, who had probably rowed off the previous day. on seeing the Confidence boardedby pirates. All this ocenrred only ninety miles from Gibraltar, whftber the Lively was then taken. OPENING LETTERS IN THE MAIL. Postmaster General Campbell was applied to re cently by the Postmaster at York, Pa., to know whether a letter containing, as was supposed. counterfeit money, could be opened at the reqnest of the police authorities, in order that the money contained therein might be identified as the same as that passed by the prisoner, and that thus fur ther evidence might, be furnished to aid in his conviction and punishment. The Postmaster Gen eral replied, emphatically, that it could not; that he had no right, nor any officer nnder him, to open any letter nntil it reached the Dead Letter office, and that this principle must be always act ed upon by those in the employment of the De partment. Judge llall, of New York, formerly Postmaster General, gave a decision a few days ago, that a letter in the mails could not be opened under any circumstances. f MAINE STATE CONVENTION. I The Democrats of Maine held their State Con vention last week and nominated Samuel Wells for Governor.1 Mr. Parris.their candidate of last year, declined a renomination. The Convention, according to the Portland Advertiser, encounter ed some difficulty in pasing a resolution endor sing the present Administration for its adhesion to the ancient landmarks f tho Democractic party. To this resolution the chairman of the committee dissented, as implying an endorsment of the Missouri compromise. After severs! speech es had been made an amendment was adopted as follows: "It being understood that Ibis resolution is expressive of no opinion upon the repeal of the Missouri compromise." The resolutions were then passed.

"Man s mhu inanity to man makes countless millions mourn Millions f men of course. But where is the poet who has sune the barbarisms inflicted upon the canine race man's gentlest companion and most faithful friend. Warned by white hats and trow sers and sweat moistened dickies, that the dog days are trotting into the calendar, these honest servitors scnlk with clinging tails and wire-woven muzzles along the streets,, woefully eyeing the loafing boys and negroes on the corner, and fear ing, as is too often the case, that a lolling tongue will be misconstrued ioto hyrophobia, and that tbey shall die amid a shower of exultant cries and murderous brickbats. Such is the quadruped welcoming which greets those days of first hot weather. Upper tendom has escaped these, and in nankeen trowsers and zephyr-webbed morning robes is staying out the sultry days in the green interior or np the breezy Hudson, until the fash iooable almanac points to the home return next September. But the snb-stratum. the workers and toilers are abiding the coming of sun strokes cholera and dysentery, fast at their posts, plodding the barkmill round of daily life, 'with discontent ed necessity, receiving what their fates dispense. And in what respects Yankee ingenuity has come short of solacing the chafing cares of midsummer the philosophising German fills, grafting the Ten tonic naturalness 11 Don the Saxon hot house growth And thus it has befallen, that now when Sol is lancing us with solsticial rays that the 'Sangerfert," ormnsical festival of the Germans has been set so that now onr city is resonant with the intermingling of , various musical societies from all the States. On Saturday evening tbey made one of the finest displays in the Park ever seen in this city. Groups were gathered at various points with several superior bands of music, and at a signal the whole Puk was illuminated with the glare of a thousand torches and colored lights. The bandf discoursed their sweet strains, and well trained voices joined in stirring choruses until tb air fairlv tremblerl with music, the nceue was more like one of Eistern enchantment than prac tical Yankee creation. To-day the Sangerband hold a musical festival such as are held in Germa ny amid the vincyatas ot the itiiinc, when a pic nicwill .be served up, songs of the Fatherland sung, and in short a page of rural German life opened to us. It is not often that I get an 'out,' which privi leges me, cooped up as I am within these walls of brick and mortar to smell a conntry rose or drink a cup of cow's milk, but I did wander on Satur day as far as r lushing, and tumbled in wan a pic nic party which pleased my fancy. I wrote you something last week about Mr. Pease's school at the Five Points, and I want to tell you now that this same rusticating crowd was the identical community of ragged Infants (ragged no longer) whose highly4 bettered coudition and excelknt teachings I observed and listened to a week ago, who were ont on a merry making in the grem- fields with all the paraphernalia of the most refi ned and polished company. One hundred and ton little girls, all in the longest of white aprons and the most extensive of rnn bonnets, and one hundred and thirty boys, with combed hair cov ered with straw hats clad otherwise with blue jackets and trowsers, coming tidy and well beha ved from the lowest slums of New York, bear no insignificant testimony of the greatness of the work which the modern Samaritan is performing. A merrier, happier, more nature loving party has never come under ray observation. They found more beauties in the simplest works of the sun shine and rain than Shenstone could have seen in shrubberies and gardens; learned more profound lessons from the granite and slate than Hugh Mil ler ever dreamed of, and chattered more familiar ly on farms and gardens than tho latest poetaster from Primrose Hill. Yon should have seen the huge boquets of glare-eyed daisies and sober clo ver tops bobbing around on the returning boat in the hands of every urchin and lassie, while con densed happiness seemed to hang over them like an atmosphere ; and you fhonUl have heard the gleeful songs gashing from their joy charged hearts, and then when you reflected where they were two years ago, and how tbey had never seen a meadow or heard a wild bird sing, yon might appreciate the .magnitude of the change which has been wrought and the good that has been done. But we are looking forward confidently to a brighter day for all the degraded ones in this vi cious city, and the success of the Five Points char ity is one of the lights thrown ahead upon the fu ture. " It is rumored that the French and German res idents of the city are forming themselves into or ganizations, sworn to re.-ist the execution of the Prohibitory Liquor Law by force of arms. It is said too that an extensive union has been effected between the various liquor dealers' associations for the same end, and that most ample prepara tions bave been made, so that an armed force of ten thousand men will appear in tho streets at a moment's warning. So far as I can learn there are some reasons for beliering such preparations are on foot, but I imagine they are part of the system of interracdling which the opposers of the law have practiced ever since its passage. They are certainly not such fools as to think of success fully opposing a law of the land by arms. Frog eating Johnny Crapean and beer swilling Hans Von Foozle, although backed by a red-faced regi ment of all that ever took sixpences for good or bad mm, would be shot down with as little res pect as a pack of mad dogs. This is no Paris thank God. We make our own laws, and when a majority get sick of them we substitute others but so long as they are on the Statute Book they vtust be obeyed.

In Lafayette, Miss., a few days ago, a negro, who, with his wife and three children, occupied a hut upon the plantation of Col. Peques, . was very much annoyed by fleas. Believing that they congregated in great numliers beneath the house, he resolved to destroy them by fire; and accor dingly, one night when his family were asleep, he raised a plank in the floor of the cabin,.' and procuring an armful of shucks, scattered them on the ground beneath, and lighted them. The con sequence was that the cabin was consumed,; and the whole family, with exception of the man who lighted the fire, was burned to death.

HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS.-This celebrated medicine, prepared by Dr. C. M. JACKSON, at the imposing German Medicine Store, No. 120 ARCH street, is excitine unprece dented public attention, and tho proprietor, who is a scientilic physician, is selling immense quan tities of it. The virtues of this remedy are so ful ly set forth in the extended notice of it, to be seen in our advertising columns, that there is hardly any room left for us to speak of it. This much we may add Of the long train of physical ills to which humanity is heir, there is none more dis tressing than tho general derangement of the di gestive apparatus, which never fails to accompa ny a disordered state of tho liver. Headache, piles, languor, fretfulness, a bilions tongue, a morbid breath, loss of appetite in short, an in describable wretchedness of existence, are its in sufferable and life-wasting attendants. ' These diseases, which have baflled the skill of the able t Doctors, have been radically cured by Hoofland's German Bitters." rAs a SPRING AND SUMMER MEDI CINE, Carter's Spanish Mixture stands pre-emi nent above all others. Its singularly efficacious action on the blood ; its strengthening and vivify ing qualities, its tonic action on the Liver; its ten dency to drive all humors to the surface, thereby cleansing the system according to Nature's own prescription; its harmless, and at the same time extraordinary good effects, and the number of cures testified to by many of the most respectable citizens of Richmond, Va., and elsewhere, must be conclusive evidence that there is no humbug about it. The trial of a single bottle will satisfy the most sceptical of its benefits. See advertisement in another column. June 5 136-lm. NOTICE.
