The Intelligencer says of squatter sove- reignty, as carried out in Kansas: = * © “If weeds ber par ee rung up, no principle of natural philosophy rah Sesnnlacad: the plant has been the le- gitimate product of the gem: and the fruit net always such as pleaseth the taste of the cultivator. It is enough, however, that there has been prompt action in Kansas upon the premises laid down. Not only has there been the ‘largest liberty,’ but the greatest variety of what has sometimes been enthusiastically termed the ‘heaven-born boon.’ At one time We bave a vote, not merely of regular inhab- itants of the Territory, but of those who, by the use of the light canoe or the capacious Sieamer, can tra themselves rapidly from a neghboring State and become resident jong enough to exercise the right of suff: ; and the result is the election to Congress of a ‘ pro slavery’ man under the forms of law— the Legislature affirming and the Governor dissenting. A few days later, another set of ‘sovereigns.’ under a ‘higher law’ than any made by statute, gather together, laim the ‘inherent right of man to govern himself,’ and also elect « representative to Congress—a * free-State advocate.’ *” The Unton quotes the resolutions adopted at the very last meeting in Tamany Hall, hold- ing them up in contrast with the sentiments avowed by John Van Buren in his late speeches. The same paper calls public atten- tion to the mendacity of the Courrzer des iats Unis, in its efforts to bring the Govern- ment of the United States into disrepute. ——————-___ New Books. tus Missixg Brive, or Miriam the Avenger; by Mrs. Emma D. Southworth. Tus Desertep Wirg; also by Mrs. Emma Southworth. Both published by T. B. Pe- terson. Philadelphia. We sre indebted to Taylor & Maury for these two interesting works of fiction, from the pen of a lady who has@airly earned the repu- tation of being one of the first female novel writers of the day, on either side of the Atlan- tie. Mrs. S.has won her way to fame and attendant fortune (for her works now have an immense sale) amid trials and difficulties, and not a few priyations, we apprehend. Her style is remarkable for its simplieity and truthfulness to nature, nothing from her pen being overdrawn. Yet all she writes teems with absorbing interest. She eschews strain- ing aiter effect, or a resort to the clap-trap whieh marks most of the novels of this par- ar cra. We weleome each succeeding new work from her pen a3 a substantial addi- tion to the realiy creditable light literature of cur country, with which we are by no means overstocked Tue Marcu Gmt, or Life Scenes as They Are.

Madame de Marzuerittes is said to be ite author; and the erities say that its purpose is to get re- venge on the divorced Mrs. Edwin Forrest— Bizs. Sinclair, since she has reassumed her maiden name. It seems that these ladies Were intimates during the period of the life of Mrs. Sinclair made famous by being sifted and published in the trial of the famous For- restdivorcecase They have since quarreled, and this book, which is credited with being feom beginning to end an attack on the au- thor’s former friend, is the (inyputed) result of their disagreement. Madame Marguerrites is "woman of great talent and remarkable at- tainmeate, speaking and writing many lan- guages, and being capable of acquitting her- se'f handsomely of apy literary labor, from Tmon, @ sonnet, or a puff, to a 2 translation from the French, , German, or Italian, or an elaborate essayvon more than one abstract branch of science. The fact that she has turned her abilities into their present channel—“ Hot literature—proves either that she has stooped to gratify personal malevolence, or that she panders to a very prevalent corrupt taste to put moncy in her pocket. The book is admirsbly and very artistically written— being a taking work; indeed, the very best of its vicious sehool. We cannot withhold the expression of this opinion of it, though em- phatically condemning all such literature as poisonous to the public mind. This work can be procured of Messrs Taylor & Maury, to whom we are indebted for a copy of it. Corn Corn Taz Yettow Fever.—We learn from the ‘orfulk Herald that Lemuel Colley, aged about ‘hirteen years, died of the fever,on Thursday. Tuis is the third som of the late John G. Coley that bas died within the past two or taree weeks. The Howard Association buried two others Lesides young Colley on the same day. The weather in Norfolk is now quite cold, end the Mayor has given it as his opinion that the absentees may now return with impunity. There have been no new cases of fever. From Portsmouth, we learn that no eases of the fever have ceeurred for more than two weeks, and that the refugees are rapidly re- turuing home —— the orphans from Portsmouth, at College, near Richmond, was sly burned on Friday. The nurse uta minute, and while she was ue eliild’s elothes took fire. Hercries brought immediate assistance, but she was badly burned. The name of the child is not given.

The “Happy Family.’’—It sedms to us that much more importance is being accorded to the recent political demonstrations of Prince Jobn Van Buren than they deserve; more ¢8- Pecially as we have never seen the warrant by which he assumes to speak for the Demo cracy of New York. The Prince has been evidently aiming to carry water on both shoulders—to get back into his original place at the Democratic family table, and at the same time to drag his pa out from under that load of hay, upset, it will be recollected, in the untoward accident at Buffalo, in 1849, The Prince, with true filial piety, clings to his pa; and yet he by no means relishes the idea of remaining @ political Ishmaelite—an outcast from the Democratic organization for the balance of his days, as the penalty for his devotion to the fame of his sire. He is en- dowed with never failing ‘pluck,’’ too; making it, evidently, the rule of his life, to strike back when struck, it thatters not who may aim the blow at him. ‘ This appears to be the key to his share of his present controversy with our neighbor of the Union. Thus, that journal seizing upon his intimation at Oswego, that, all else failing, it is possible for the North to make Kansas a nonslaveholding State by refusing to admit her into the Union until her State constitu- tion may embrace a clause prohibiting slavery, seems delighted to hold him and the Demo- eratic party of New York in the position in which it places him. We, on the other hand, cannot (on carefully reading his letter) resist the impression that the Prince evidently in- tended that for bunkum only. Ue had noidea that there was ‘a chiel amang ’em takin’ notes,’’ (as he declares,) when he essayed by such an arrangement to reconcile to the Ne- braska bill those who were listeningto him, who in the canvassof 1848 had been indoctrinated by him with rank abolitionism, which they could not throw off sc readily as he could. Bat hay- ing said it—why, he resolved to stick to it, cs ‘backing down’’ forms no part of his system ; and more especially as the Union seems bent on quarantining ail who took the Buffalo trip in 748, until they purge themselves of even the last remnants of the scent of the infec- tion that raged there about that time. It is evident from the Prince’s letter to the Unzon (published by that journal on Saturday morn- ing last) that he gave forth the intimation with reference to a ‘last resort’? merely fr bunkum, without originally entertaining tie slightest idea of urging the doctrine that tho North can resist the admission of a State into the Union Jeeause of the legalization of sla very in the constitution with which it pre- sents itself to Congress, without a virtual vio- lation of the principles of the constitution of the United States, and the right of self-goy- erament. in reply to the Union's denunciation of his bunkum last-resort, he reluctantly admits that it did slip from out of his mouth; but he places himself upon wholly different grounds— on the resolution of 1843, as follows : “Resolved, That while the Democracy cf New York will faithfully adhere to all the compromises of the Constitution and maintain the reserved rights of the States, they deem this a suitable oceasion to declare their fixed hostility to the extension of slavery to free territory.”’ And, also, on the plea that the North may resist the admission of Kansas as a slave State until satisfied that the pro-slavery clause of her Constitution has fairly found its way there—that it is a Lona fide expression of the will of a majority of her inhabitants. True, the Prince admits that he did make the “ last- resort’’ remark at Oswego, but evidently with reluctance; as though unwilling to acknowl edge it, but yet, for the sake of apparent con- sistency, admitting the corn. He evidently dislikes to fight in the corner into which the Union has pinned him, how wisely, time will determine. The above is a fair exposition of this very pretty quarrel as it stands. Now, while the South asks no man of the North to favor the extension of slavery to ter- ritory now free, she demands, as her rigkt of co-equality in the Union, that the adoption of slavery by the people of any Territory of the United States shall not weigh against its ad- mission into the Union; that the right of the bona fide inhabitants of a Territory to choose institutions for themselves shall be respected. She never has, and she never will, oppose the admission of a Territory because it fairly de- cides against slavery in the formation of a State Constitution ; and, to her, the Union will be worse than dissolution, from the moment when Abolitionism, under any pretense or phase whatever, may be able to compass the rejection of an application for admission, on the ground that slavery has been adopted in preference to its antagonistic feature of non- slaveholding. ? The South does not ask that illegal acte of interference in the affairs of territories—when such can be proved—shall be taken for the acts of the people of the territories, whether the intermedlers come from South or North. She places herself upon no such untenable ground. She will join Mr. Van Buren in his re- pudiation of them freely, frankly, and heartily She demands simply, that, when the clearly ascertained election of the bona fide people of Kansas is ascertained—the territory having sufficient population for its admission as a State, and duly applying—it shall be admitted with or without slavery as that election may be. Those who think that she will submit to wear the brand of sectional inferiority placed on her brow as the induction of a policy of this Government for all its future, with the great ‘“ Republican” organization, too, eager to follow up the success by carrying out what Garrison, Fred Douglass, Greely & Co. have been preaching for years past, must have made up their minds that her people are lost to the influonce of every peculiar characteristic of their former nature, to all sense of self-preser vation, and to all worthiness of being hereafter a free people. Systematic Roorbacking.—We hardly know which is most remarkable in its way, the fact that every item of the New York Herald’s ExcLusive Washington news, by telegraph, turns out to be false from beginning to end, or the greediness with which it is copied by the New York Mirror and other Northern jour- nals that are cternally commenting, in indig- nant terms, upon the utter mendacity of that journal, and the sweeping unreliability of its statements about any and everything. The Privce-John’s-dinner story of the Herald, at which the President was represented to have been « guest, affords an example, It wascopied into the Mirror’s columns ‘48 gospel truth, with the original garnishing about one Mr. Marsh, United States consul at Rio Janiero, repre- sented to have come hither with the Pringe; though all who know anything of the person- nel of our representatives abroad in that ca- pacity, know that Marsh, United States consul at Rio Janiero, has no existsnce! The truth is, Mr. Mafch, United States consul at ” deira, happened to come to Washington by the train on which the Prince traveled hither, last week. Thus are ‘such roorbacks, under the pretense of their being news from this city, propagated—nine-tenths of them spting-” ing from the. womb of the Mother of Lies, the. New York Herald. If those at a distance desire to be kept posted with reference to. what statements, pur- porting to be “ news from Washington,’’ have no foundation in truth, we can confidently ad. vise them neyer to fail to consult.the Herald's special Washington correspondence, by tele- graph and otherwise, making a notein their memories of its facts, one and all. That will be the shortest and most certain way of ac- complishing the object, by long odds. The Courter des Etats Unis, too, while per mitting no opportunity to pass in which it can expose the fact that the Herald is the very mother of lies, in order to hold its mendacity up to Europe as a fair type of the American press, seems to vie with the Mirror in eager- ly quoting its roorbacks for the truth. Thus, it has been writhing in agony over the Engineer- Thompson falsehood, throwing off cglumn on column of silly and frothy abuse of this Gov- ernment and misrepresentation ef its action. Its diatribes amount to nothing but the ex- posure of its own ignorance or mendacity. Its ignorance—if its conductor did not know that any tingle individual American has the right, under our laws, to expatriate himself and en- ter any foreign service, taking the risk of fall- ing into the hands of an enemy of that Goy- ernment on his way to enter its service; and that, too, with fall knowledge that his act of expatriating himself with such intent, cuts him off positively from any and all protection of the Government cf the United States. Its mendacity—if not ignorant, as above explained—as it is plain to all who know the history of the present administration’s efforts to put down fillibustering, which it has pur- sued to the bitter end wherever it has mani- fested itself since March 3, 1853, and with even-handed justice to all foreign powers. TheEngineer-Thompson Humbug.—Itturns out that the New York Tribune's story that the Russian Government had tendered the po- sition of its Naval Engineer in-Chief, to a Mr. Thompson, of Albany, was manufactured of whole cloth; the Russian Minister here, through whom the offer would have been mado, (as to employ him would have been no viola- tion of our neutrality laws, whatever,) never heard of the man until seeing the Herald’s account of the transaction. So we learn from gentlemen who have conversed with him on the subject. The truth is, the Hera/d was bent on grind- ing an axe in some quarter for this Mr. Thomp- son, and concocted the story by way of a pull of him, that would be sure to travel in nearly all the newspapersof the country. The dodge was an ingenious one, if quite as dishonest as ingenious. It fairly illustrates the Herald’s system. Public Surveya.—Advices have been re- ceived at the General Land Office, under date of the Ist ultimo, from the Surveyor General of Washington Territory of the progress of public surveys (under 48 degroes north lati- tude and 45 degrees west longitude, Washing- ton city, meridian,) in that distant district. The Surveyor General states that settlements of comparatively numerous character, on Whidley’s Island, (in the neighborhood of the Straits of Juan de Tuca, and the beundary b>- tween the United States and British posses- sion,) requiring public surveys of the Island, in order to enable settlers thereof to prove up their pre-emptions, he has entered into a con- tract for the extension of Willamette meridian across large expanse of waters of the Puget Sound and Admiralty Inlet, and over the Island; also for meandering and subdivision of the Island. Promoted and Appo'nted—Edward k. Chase, ao second class clerk in the Pension Office, has been promoted to a third class clerkship in the Patent Office. Walter Harriman, a first class clerk in the Pension Office has been promoted to a second class clerksihp in place of Chase, transferred as above. Augustus E. Le Merle, sen., appointed to the first class clerkship vacated by the pre- motion of Mr. Harriman. George D. Hibbs, appointed messenger in the Pension Office, in place of Le Merle, pro- moted as above. Resigned and Appointed.—The resignation of Donn Piatt, Esq., of his position as Secre- tary of the American Legation at Paris, (which we mentioned some days since as be- ing about to be sent over,) duly arrived in Washington by the last foreign mail, and we understand that 0. Jennings Wise, Esq., (son of Hon. Henry A. Wise, of Virginia,) now the Secretary of the American Legation at Berlin, has been transferred and appointed to fill the vacancy at Paris thus created.

Having hired a horse and carriage at a livery stable, he swapped them off for a gold watch, and a considerable sum cf money, subsequent- ly pledging the watch at a pawnbroker’s for an additional sum. He then wrote to the owner of the horse and carri telling him that the horse ran away, bre: ‘ing the car- riage to pieces and injaring him (Tybalt) so that he was confined to his bed, eu; esting the propriety, at the same time, of offering a reward for the recovery of the horse. He next wrote tothe man who had bought the horse and carriage, telling him that he would save himself some trouble by returning them to the rightful owner, and that, as Gor the watch, the better way was to say nothing about it Tae MurprreRx.—The Baltimore American learns that Frederick Muller, the convicted murderer of Dr. J.F. 0.

On Thursday he requested the jaiior to go to Lebr’s tavern, the ‘are where he was arrested, and demand ack part of the $2 50 pe him forone week’s board in advance, as all he had for it was his supper and bed part of one night.

The peti- tion to the Bishop stated that the church would raise a reyenue of $6,000 per annum, to be placed in the hands of three Trustees to be chosen by the congregation. ake poms close their letter by saying that they ‘have deter- mined to elect a Board of Trustees and abide by the consequences.” Wuere It Gors —According to the London Times, a large amount of the Sound Dues goes’ into private pockets.
