SALISBURY, N. GC, THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1848. ORIGINAL TALE. [WRITTEN FOR THE WATCHMAN. ] On one of those hot and sultry days by _which the summer of 1845 wasso partic- ularly distinguished, in the region of Salis- | bury. the boarders and other guests of the “Mansion” having adjourned, as usual, from the dining room to the piazza, were | whiling away in its agreeable shade, and _in the silent and contemplative luxury of | the long-stemmed pipes, the listless and lazy hours of a suinmer’s afternoon. The dry and dusty streets seemed to partici- jfy instances, but the facts we state are so pate in the general repose. Not a thing Peious, that it is unnecessary. When the Wilmington and Raleigh and Ral. | ot agd Gaston Roads were projected, they » bot part of a plan” of State works a- dvoon by the leading men of the State in | hevention at Raleigh, and supported as such he leading men of both parties in the Leg- we.

The important secrets which had*thus been communicated, occupied the minds of the travellers for alength of time, which might have been measured (the clock had stopped) by the emptying of five glasses on the part of each. The sun had sensibly declined; they mutually concluded it was too hot to tra- vel, and adjourned to their room. After that they were seen no more by the land- lord that day, but rumour tells of numer- ous glasses of liquor which were seen passing from the bar-room to their cham- ber in the course of the early part of the night, and which were as regularly ex- changed for empty glasses. The truth is that having discovered a novel, and as they deemed, very valuable mixture, they had determined to honour the océasion by getting gloriously drunk. This resolution they kept to the letter, but unlike most persons, in their situation, they managed to get up betimes the next morning. and having adjusted their bill to the satisfac- tion of all concerned, slipped out of town before sun up. ©. > + What next befel them, or how long they continued to travel together we have not been informed. It would seem, however, that they separated, at length, and that the one whose fortunes wegollow, must have indulged in many a golden reminiscence, of the evening he spent at the Mansion, and of that strange beverage by which he had been so deliciously intoxicated, and which, in the simplicity of his heart he supposed that the proprietor of that estab- lishedment alone of all mortals, knew how to compound. Months passed away and January had succeeded to July. It was near night fall. The wind had chopped round to the north- west and blew bittercold. The piazza of the Mansion had been deserted for its now comfortable hall. The fire place which six months before had been decorated with shrubs and evergreens, now sent forth from its capacious jaws a ruddy and glowing heat. John]. was at his old post, not as before, leaning in his chair against | the open door of the bar room—the lat- ter was now carefully shut, and John and his guests were comfortably seated within —when a stranger entered, stamping his feet with great vehemence, as if to kick the frost out at the toes, rubbing his ears through the handkerchief which was tied about to protect them from the frost, and shivering throughout his whole frame as one upon whom the cold had done its worst. His first words were of “ liquor,” and their well remembered tone convinc- ed our landlord that this was the identical | wight, who just six months before had | made a similar call. He inquired of his | guest what liquor he would prefer, and | tions between man, and man, and to the inter- was proceeding to enumerate the long catalogue of “ hot whiskey,” “ apple tod- dy,” “ gin cock tails,” &c., &c., &c., &c., which he supposed most appropriate to the weather and best adapted to the con- dition of the traveller, when the latter in- regard the preparation with a mixture of | terrupted him by observing that “ these | were all very good at times, but just now, he believed—he would try—some of that— curiosity and amazement @s one of those new things, which one meets with but once in a series of years. That the con. tents of their glasses were in part liquid, they had occular evidence, and the bare fact was sufficient to invite them to a closer acquaintance. They sip their drinks simultaneously, then smack their lips, and gaze with a vacant air upon the ceiling, as if to decide whether they can recog- nize the sensation, then their eyes meet, and as they exchange glances, one gath- ers his brow and looks puzzled as much as to ask, “ what the devil can it be ?”— _the other compresses his lips, as if deter- mined to hold on to the sensation, and tips his head with a knowing inclination to the right, as much as to say, “that’s the tan- zy.” They sip,again. Next one of them Pinches out from his beverage a sprig of the mint, and after drawing it between his lips and thus sweeping off the dew which clings to its surface, nibbles inquir- ingly atone of itsleaves.

Well is it for those who listen to its teachings. Of the few venerable men who helped to achieve and consolidate American liberty, none re- mains better entitled to speak with au- thority to the people of this country than the illustrious may whose name stands at the head of this article. A born Re- publican of the school, the bosom friend | of Jefferson, the ardent patriot and learn- _ed diplomatist, now advanced to near the _age of ninety years, Albert Gallatin has ‘felt called to.speak once more to the peo- ple of the United States. At atime when ‘the fires of personal ambition have ceas- ed to burn, and when no charges of tory- ism and federalism can harm or disturb the calm sunset of a life devotedto Am- -erican freedom, he has spoken, in all like- | lihood, for the last time.

A heterogeneous popula- | tion of seven millions, with very limited resour- ces and no credit; distracted by internal dis- sensions and by the ambition of its chiefs; a prey by turns to anarchy and to military usurp- ers; occupying political education, social state, or any other respect, but an inferior position, cannot contend successfully with an energetic, intelligent, enlightened, and united nation of | twenty millions, possessed of unlimited resour- ces and credit, and enjoying all the benefits of a regular, strong, and free Government.— All this was anticipated ; but the extraordina- ry successes of the Americans have exceeded the most sanguine expectations, All the ad- vanced ports of the enemy (N@w Mexico, Cali- fornia, the line of the lower Rio Norte, and all the seaports which it was deemed necessary to occupy) have been subdued. And a small force, apparently incompetent to the object, has penetrated near three hundred miles into the interior, and is now in quiet possession of the far-famed metropolis of the Mexican domin.- ions. The superior skill and talents of our distinguished general and the unparalleled bravery of our troops have surmounted all ob- stacles. By whomsoever commanded on ei- ther side, however strong the positions and for- lifications of the Mexicans, and with a tremen- dous numerical superiority, there has not been a single engagement in which they have not been completely defeated. The most remark- able and unexpected feature of that warfare is, that volunteers, wholly undisciplined in every sense of the word, have vied in devotedness and bravery with the regular forces, and have proved themselves in every instance superior | in the open field to the best regular forces of Mexico. ‘These forces are now annihilated or dispersed3 and the Mexicans are reduced to a petly warfar8 of guerrillas, which, however | annoying, cannot be productive of any impor. tant results. It is true that these splendid successes have been purchased at a price far exceeding their value. It is true that neither the glory of these military deeds, nor the ultimate utility of our conquests, can compensate the lamentable loss of the many thousand valuable lives sacrificed in the field, or the still greater number who have met with an obscure death, or been disa- bled by disease and fatigue. It is true that their relatives, their parents, their wives and children, find no consolation for the misery in- flicted upon them in the still greater losses ex- perienced bythe Mexicans. But if, disregard- ing private calamities and all the evils of a general nature, the necessary consequences of | this war, we revert solely to the relative posi- tion of the two countries, the impotence of the Mexicans and their total inability to continue | the war, with any appearance of success, are still manifest. . The question then occurs: What are the terms which the United States have a right to impose on Mexico? All agree that it must be an “ honorable peace ;” but the true meaning of this word must in the first place be ascer- tained. The notion that any thing can be truly hon. orable which is contrary to justice, will, as an abstract proposition, be repudiated by every citizen of the United States. Will any one | dare to assert that a peace can be honorable | which does not conform with Justice ? There is no difficulty in discovering the prin- ciples by which the relations between civil- ized and Christian nations should be regulated and the reciprocal duties which they owe to each other. These principles, these duties, have long since been proclaimed ; and the true | law of nations is nothing else than the confor- mity to the sublime precepts of the gospel mor- ality ; precepts equally applicable to the rela. course between nation and nation. “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” ‘ Love your enemies.” “As you would that men should do to you, do ye also tothem likewise.” The sanctity of these commands is acknowl. edged, without a single exception, by every de- nomination of Christians, or of men professing to be such. The skeptical philosopher admits | ment of those claims. ' tries in a new position, and arrested for a while and admires the precept. To this holy rule we should inflexibly adhere when dictating the terms of peace. The United States, though they have the power, have no right to Impose terms inconsistent with justice. It would be a shameful dereliction of principle, on the part | of those who were averse to the annexation of | Texas, to countenance any altempt to elaim | an acquisition of territory, or other advantage on account of the success of our arms. But, in judging of the acts of our Govern- ment, it must be admitted that statesmen think | a conformity to those usages, which constitute the law of nations, not as it should be but as it | is practically, sufficient to justify their conduct. | And by that inferior standard those acts and our duties in relation to Mexico will be tested. | Il.—Indemnities to Citizens of the United | States. | The United States had, and continue to have | an indubitable right to demand a full indemui- | ty for wrongs inflicted on our citizens by the Government of Mexico, in violation of treaties | or of the acknowledged laws of nations. The | negotiations for satisfying those just demands had been interrupted by the annexation of Tex- | as. When anattempt was subsequently made to renew them, it was therefore just and proper | that both subjects should be discussed at the | same time; and itis now absolutely necessary that those just claims should be fully provided for in any treaty of peace that may be conclu- ded, and that the payment should be secured against any possible contingency. I take it for granted that no claims have been or shall be sustained by our Government but such oe are founded on treaties or the acknowledged | law of nations. Whenever a nation becomes involved in war, the manifestoes, and every other public | pa ' act issued for the purpose ot justifying its con- | and protect it with all their forces against any duct, always embrace every ground of com. plaint which can possibly be alleged. But, admitting that the refusal to satisfy the claims for indemnity of our citizens might have been a just cause of war, it is most certain that those claims were not the cause of that in which we submit to such terms of peace as the United /are now involved. It may be proper, in the first place, to observe that the refusal of doing justice in cases of this kind, or the long delays in providing for them, have not generally produced actual war. Al. most always long-protracted negotiations have been alone resorted to. This has been strik- ingly the case with the United States. The claims of Great Britain for British debts, secur- ed by the treaty of 1783, were not settled and paid till the year 1803; and it was only subse- quent to that year that the claims of the United States, fordepredations committed in 1793, were satisfied. ‘The very plain question of slaves carried away by the British forces in 1815, in should be tenesiy eke Fe 5 401né jompecsibla. ahnaaiee It appears that Mexico was at that time posed to acknowled; ; as, but‘on the express Condition not be annexed to the United Stat has been suggested that this was de the influence of some European’ F Whether this last assertion he tru known to me.

But expediency is not justiced* Mexico and Texas hed a perfect right to adjust their differences and make peace on any terms they might deem proper. The anxiety to pre." open violation of the treaty of 1814, was not settled and the indemnity paid till the year 1826. ‘The claims against France for depre- dations committed in the years 1806 to 1813, | were not settled and paid for till the year 1834. In all those cases peace was preserved by pa- tience and forbearance. With respect to the Mexican indemnities, the subject had been Jaid more than once before Congress, not without suggestions that strong measures should be resortedto. But Congress, in whom alone is vested the power of declaring war, uniformly declined doing it. A convention was entered into on the 11th of April, 1839, between the United States and Mexico, by virtue of which a joint commission was appointed for the examination and settle- ent The powers of the com. | missioners terminated, according tothe conven- tion, in February, 1842. The total amount of the American claims, presented to the commis. sion, amounted to $6,291,605. Of these, $2,- 026,140 were allowed by the commission; a further sum of 928,628 was allowed by the com. missions of the United States, rejected by the Mexican commissioners, and left undecided by | the umpire ;and claims amounting to $3,336,. | 837 had not been examined. A new convention, dated January 30, 1843, granted to the Mexicans a further delay for the payment of the claims which had been admitted, by virtue of which the interest due to the claim. ants was made payable on the 30th of April, 1843, and the principal of the awards and the interest accruing thereon was stipulated to be paid in five years, in twenty equal instalments every three months. The claimants received the interest due on the 30th of April, 1843, and the three instalments. The agent of the Uni- ted States having, under peculiar circumstances, given a receipt for the instalments due in April and July; 1844, before they had been actually paid by Mexico, the payment has been assumed by the United States and discharged to the | claimants. A third convention was concluded at Mexico on the 20th of November, 1843, by the Pleni- potentiaries of the two governments, by which | provision was made for ascertaining and paying | the claims on which no final decision had been made. In January, 1844, this convention was ratified by the Senate of the United States, with two amendments which were referred to the Government of Mexico, but respecting which no answer has ever been made. On the 12th of April, 1844, a treaty was concluded by the Pre- | since rankled in their minds. — It will be found sident with Texas, for the annexatipn of that re- public to the United States. “This treaty, though not ratified by the Senate, placed the two coun- all negotiations. It was only on the Ist of March, 1845, that Congress passed a joint res- olution forthe annexation. It appears-most clearly that the United States are justly entitled to a full indemnity for the in- j fone to their citizens; that, before the | m ot Texas, there was every prospect | jrimg that indemnity ; and that those in- | en if they had been a just cause for | war, weré in no shape whatever the cause of that-in which we are now involved. cannot be otherwise solved than by an inquiry | into the facts, and ascertaining by whom, an | how, the war was provoked. | lil.— Annexation of Texas. At the time when the annexation of Texas | took place, Texas had been recognized as an | independent power, both by the United States | and by several of the principal European Pow. ers; but its independence had not been recog. | nised by Mexico. Nothing can be more clear | ‘and undeniable than that, whenever two nations are at war, if a third Power shall enter into a | treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, with | either of the belligerents, and if such treaty is | not contingent, and is to take effect immediate. | ly and pending the war, such treaty is a de. | claration of war against the other party. The causes of the war between the two billergents do not alter the fact. Supposing that the third party, the interfering Power, should have con- cluded the treaty of alliance with that belliger- | ent who was clearly engaged in a most just | war, the treaty would not be the less a declar- ation of war against the other belligerent. If Great Britain and France were at war, | and the United States were to enter into such a treaty with either can there be the slightest doubt that this would be actual war against the | other party; that it would be considered as such, and that it must have been intended for that purpose ? If, at this moment, either France or England were to make such a treaty with | Mexico, thereby binding themselves to defend { | other Power whatever, would not the United States instantaneously view such a treaty as a declaration of war, and act accordingly 1 But the annexation of Texas by the United | States was éven more thana treaty of offensive | and defensive alliance. It embraced all the: conditions and all the duties growing out of the | alliance ; and it imposed them forever. From the moment when Texas had been annexed, | the United States became bound to protect and | defend her, so far as her legitimate boundaries extended, against any invasion or attack on the rt of Mexico; and they have uniformly acted accordingly. r 71 7 t Are the United States justly entitled to in- demnity for any other cause? ‘This question | vent this result indicated a previous disposition | ultimately to occupy Texas; and when the.aa. | hexation was accomplished, when it was. | that the United States had appropriated to them. selves all the advantages resulting from the American settlements in Texas, and from their subsequent insurrection, the purity of thewmo.” tives of our Government became open to @us- ~ picion. Setting aside the justice of the proceeding, it _ is true that it had been anticipated by thosé who” took an active part in the annexation that the weakness of Mexico would compel: it to yield,~ or at least induce her not to resort to aniac- tual war. This was verified by the fact; and | had Government remained in the hands with whom the plan originated, war might probably , | have been avoided. But, when no longer ia | power, they neither regulate the impulse they had given, nor control the reckless spirits they had evoked. “5 Mexico, sensible of her weakness, i war, and only resorted to a suspension of diplo-' matic intercourse ; but a profound sense of the injury inflicted by the United States “has ever = te ES through all their diplomatic corr through all their manifestoes,-that-thes Mextat ‘cans, even to this day, perpetually recur t never-forgotten offensive measure.

But the same hatred against the Americans exists with all parties, and the question which now remains to be solved is—can this unite them. The greater the extent of territory oc- cupied by the Americans the more restric- ted will be the influence and power of Mexican tyrants and aspirants; and tho’ the Mexicans, who have been taught to believe that there is not a crime on re- cord which an American soldier will hes- itate to commit, may gain confidence in us and become convinced that the Ameri- cans are-not what they have been repre- sented to be; still that bitter hatred to the name of Americans will not be in the least diminished. It will increase and fix itself upon the minds of the people with thrice its former strength. An evidence of this may be seen almost daily in Vera Cruz.

[CF We had hoped to be able to pre- sent to our feaders, this week, an agreca- ble synopsis of the action of Congress.— After the usual uninteresting prelimina- riés Which necessarily attend the organi- zation of the two branches of that respect- able body of legislators, it was expected that they would really get to work about Christmas time, and that then something might turn up among them, which it would be worth while to read about. We dare say such has, in fact been the ease, but the deep sagacity and the unyielding firm- ness of that immacofate functionary. Cave Johnson, have tumbled the mails into such confusion, that we can only surmise the trath. It will be recollected that on the 20th ultimo, Mr. Calhoun introduced two resolutions, asserting the impolicy, the im- propriety and the danger of attempting the conquest of Mexico, for the purpose of incorporating it into our Union. The consideration of these resolutions, toge- ther with the counter ones offered by Mr. Dickinson of New York, which were in- formally passed over, would, it was readi- ly seen, expose to discussion, the whole field of our Mexican policy. Mr. Cal- houn’s resolutions were made the order of | the day for last Tuesday, at which time, | we presume, an interesting diseussion | sprung up upon the subjects to which they | relate. Now, under the old state of things, the Washington papers of Tuesday would | arrive here this evening : as itis now, we may expect to receive the same papers about the last of next week, that is, unless the Postmaster General should make another new discovery in the con- struction of the Post Office acts, which would in his judgment, make it necessary to send our Northern mail around by the way of New Orleans! Sooth to say, our Congressional news comes down, merely, to last Monday week, on which day the death of Senator Fairfield, of Maine, | was announced by his colleague, Mr. | | Bradbury, after which, and the passage of some appropriate resolutions offered by | Mr. Niles, the Senate adjourned. At the | same time the House were engaged in, the discussion of certain resolutions offer- | ed by G. W. Jones, authorizing the Se- | cretary of War to employ as many addi- | tional Clerks as might be necessary to ex- amine and dispose of, the “some nine thou- | sand applications for Bounty Lands and | Treasury Scrip under the.act of February | 11, 1847.” (Poor Uncle Sam's land !— | Wonder if there will be any left for anoth- | | | of Congress. If any body had been tra- velling from Washington this way on horseback, we should doubtless have had later news. Seriously, we think we have a right to be indignant at Mr. Cave Johnson for the high handed course he has thought fit to pursue. We have not space to go into the detail of the controversy between him and the Richmond Rail Road Company. It seems, however, that a “ strict construc- tion” of the act of 1838, regulating the compensation of the Mail Contractors, made it very apparent, some time since, to the mind of that very astute gentleman, do not think, in the whole, you will a the said Company had been all along rec authorized to pay, and that by the entire sum of—how much, think you gentle rea- der, a hundred dollars a day?! because, you will say, if it be no more than this, it would hardly be worth while to kick up a fuss about it. seeing it is the great Nor- thern and Southern line that is to be af- fected ; why the entire sum of—five dol- lars a day, almost! and yet to effect this little saving—no, that is pot it, for the Postmaster saves nothing is new ar- rangement according to his own showing, but, because the Company om not yield this e ly. small .amount,.of td he * i bs iad _ i " rie et ss on. eS i a ' eases nearly as bad. ‘There is not a man they have heretofore received—Mr. J. ieee sy 2 and so on to Petersburg, reaching the Tat) sboughe, ter place when the weatlier is good, and. the boats mett with aro accident, about the time when, by the old arrangement, the same mail would have been in Ra- | the schedule, and whenever failures oc- _avail themselves of it, a legitimate object to be er war?)

It is not our purpose at this time, to en- ter into the discussion of the Rail Road question, muck less, to attempt to defend our correspondent, from the imputation of « dullness” in not comprehending the wor- thy Editor of the Observer. We presume the former will consider himself quite competent to the task, and take up the cudgels in own behalf, if it shall so suit his purpose. We must say, however, that the construction placed, by our correspon- dent, wpon the remarks of our brother seemed to us, in common with certain ve- ry respectable gentlemen with whom we conversed upon the subject, to be obvio- ously correct ; and we, too, thought we could clearly see foreshaduwed in the Ob- server's remarks, a spirit of unqualified opposition to our road. This purpose is now distinctly disavowed on the part of the Observer, and so far as his sentiments are reflective of the feelings of the com- munity by whom he is immediately sur- rounded, we take great pleasure, in ap- prising our readers of the fact. But still it seems to us that this disavowal is not altogether as gracefully made as is cus- tomary with that gentleman. His call- ing our Northern and Southern border neighbors “stepmothers,” his assertion that they will "“ despise” us for our trade with them, and his declaration that he will “ pray to be annexed” to the one or the other of these dames, in a certain contin- gency, evince to our mind, a condition of temper and feeling, not quite compatible with that, somewhat formal dignity, usu- sally manifested by our worthy brother. We have only to add, that in common with our correspondent before alluded to, it is the settled conviction of all our people, that a good market, a market at which products may be sold at high prices, is to those seeking to secured, irrespective of the consideration wheth- er it may happen to fall within or without our State borders—that the prosperity of the people is best promoted by permitting each communi- ty, each citizen, to seek his own gains in his | own way—that there is no State prosperity | aside from the prosperity of the various in- dividuals comprising it; and in fine, that any attempt unnaturally to restrain trade within * UG?

From the Richmond Whig. THE PRESIDENCY. We commend the following sensi!le and for. cible remarks ef the Cincinnati Gazette to the careful perusa} and the attentive consideration of those who have, independently of all consid. erations of policy and the good of the cause which they profess to endeavor to advance, la. bored zealously in opposition to all organiza. tion and system in the matter of the selectiog of a candidate for the Presidency. However confident that portion of the Whig party may be that the man whose elevation they seek, ig the only man who can be elected; and how. ever confidently they may rely upon the spon. taneous movement of the masses to elerate him to the Presidency, independently of any or. ganized action of the party—they will, we im. ugine, upon a careful consideration of such de. monstrations as these—which possibly bud never entered their minds—bLegin to cast about to see whether there is net some probability that, with such powerfully discordant elemenig the task of elevating Gen.-‘Taylor to the Presi. dency, by the independent action proposed, will be som?what more difficult than they anticipa. ted. We contend now, as we have ever done, that in a national affair of such transcendent importance as that of the seleetion of a cands date for the Presidency, it is tmmportant—very important—that all parties should be recon. ciled ; that the preferences of all portions of the Union should be consulted, and as univer. sal a conciliation as possible be effected. We are not left at liberty, without regard to she wishes of other sections ef the Union—espe. cially when professing ourselves a part of the great Whig party of the country, laboring tor the advancement of Whig principles—to set up for ourselves. We must look to all—we must conciliate all—to secure the victory which we all desire. Instead of holding together, and working harmoniously toward the attainment of one and the same object, we have been pull. ing in contrary directions—one portion of the party declaring a stubborn and adhesive prefer. ence for one individual, and a determination te abide by that preference in defiance of a!! oth. er considerations, and in defiance of party rule; while, al the same time, they are looking, they say, most anxiously to the success of the Whig party and ascendancy of Whig principles another party are advocating harmony and con cert of action in the Whig party throughout the Union. The course of that portion of the Whig which has already declared its preference fot this or that man, and its determination to abide by that preference, is, in our opinion, unwise in the last degree. What, we ask, is to be accomplished without concert of action and unanimity, in opposition to a party possessing such strength as the Locofoco party? In what condition will we be—divided, distracted and fighting among ourselves, before the approach of the enemy—to resist the power of that or- ganization which he will surely bring to bear against us? In such a case the onslaught State lines, any fear that fair commerce with other States, can in any way eventuate in inju- | ry to either party, can only proceed from some of those blind prejudices upon this subject, which savors of antiquated ignorance, and are appropriately termed “ delusions.” must prove overwhelming, and we will be scat tered like chaff before the wind. We say, then, with all due deference to the opinions of those who differ from us, thal if we would come off triumphant in the conflict whieh awails us, we must resort to some organizatioa which will secure harmony and concert of ae (ip About a fortnight since, a truly afflicting tragedy | of a domestic character, took place in this County, about ten miles to the Northwest of our Town. A messenger to the Coroner, brought tidings that a young woman had this is the last we have been able to hear | taken the life of her husband by cutting his throat with ! a razor. Upon an investigation of the affair by the pro- male, Mary Corl, had in all probability, destroyed the partner of her bosom, in the manner described. did his duty by committing her to the County Prison.— As soon as possible, however, she was summoned under a writ of “ Habeas Corpus,” before his Honor, Judge Pearson, at Mocksville, on Thursday, the 30th ultimo, with the proper witnesses in attendance. A long and critical examination of all the facts of the affair thereupon ensued, in which his Honor, exhibited his wel] known legal tact. The unfortunate object for trial, was clearly shewn to to have been laboring under “ Insanity” at the time of the commission of the deed ; and under that peculiar form, well known to the Medical Profession, as—Puer- peral or child-birth mania. This perversion of the hu- man intellect, is in the main, despondingand melanchol- ic in its character, but occasionally, it assumes a furious | and suspicious and a destructive tendency. Under its impulses—a child—a husband—or some near friend or relation—become the object of aversion and destruction. Law and Medical Reports are replete with instances of a similar kind ; and the present case departs in no de- gree from a ‘ike tendency, when the hallucination exists. There is a peculiar cunning connected with mania. The subject will do acts of injary and conceal the evi- dences with all the address of a wellordered mind, bent upon mischief.

Under these circumstances, Gen. Herrera complained, without any foundation, that Mr. Siidell had come sooner than had ‘been understood; he resorted to several frivo- lous objections against the tenor of his powers ; and he intimated that the difficulties respecting Texas must be adjusted before any other sub- _ ject of discussion should be taken into consid- eration. But the question was, whether Mexico should receive Mr. Slidell in the character of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, to reside in the Republic. It was insisted by the Mexican Government that it had only agreed /to receive a Commissioner to treat on the qnestions which had arisen from the events In | Texas, and that until this was done the suspen- | ded diplomatic intercourse could not be restor- ed, and a residing Minister Plenipotentiary be | admitted.

The | questions at issue migbtzhave been discussed land settled as easily, fully, and satisfactorily, by Commissioners appointed for that special | purpose, as by residing Ministers or Envoys. ‘It is well known, that when diplomatic rela- ‘tions have been suspended by war, treaties of | peace have been almost universally negotiated by commissioners, or plenipotentiaries appoint- are not received as resident Ministers, tll afier the peace has restored the ordinary diplomatic intercourse.

Kt must also be premised that, in the joint re- solution for the annexation of Texas, the ques. tion of the boundary between it and Mexico was expressly reserved as one which should be set. tled bytreaty between the U. States'and Mexico. e only argument in the President’s mes. sage, which sustains the right of ‘Texas to ter. vitory beyond the Nueces, are contained in passages, in which it is asserted that the juriediction of Texas had been extended and ex. ereised beyond the Nueces: that the country between that river and the del Norte had been represented in the Congress and Convention of Texas, bad reper in the annexation itself, was now included within one of our Con- gressiona! districts. But it is not stated in the President’s message how far beyond the Nueces the sauisdiction tof J “Texas had been extended, nor what part of the country between that river and the del Norte had been represented in the Congress and Con- vention of ‘Texas and was then included within one of our Congressional districts. : Now the actual jurisdiction beyond the Nue- f ettended farther than the adjacent t of San Patricio, consisting of about families. ‘That small district, though the Nueces, was contiguous to and in possession of Texas.

In the course of the war between Mexico and Texas, incursions had been occasion- ally made by each partly into the territories of the other. A Mexican officer bad, once or twice, obtained temporary occupation of San Antonio, within the limits of ‘Texas; and the Texans had on one occasion taken Loredo it- self, and more than once had carried their arms not only to the left bank of the del Norte, but even beyond that river. In both cases the aggressive parties had been repulsed and ex- pelled. The last Texan expedition of that kind took place in December, 1842, and terminated in their defeat at Mier. That the country adjacent to the left bank of the river was exclusively in the possession of the Mexicans, was well known to our Govern- ment. When General Taylor tharched to the del Norte he issued an order (No. 30,) translated into the Spanish, ordering all under bis com- mand to observe with the most scrupulous re- spect the rights of all the inhabitants, who might be found in peaceful prosecution of their lespective occupations, as well on the left as on the right side of the Rio Grande. No interfer. ence, he adds, will be allowed with the civil rights or teligious privileges of the inhabitants. In June, 1845, General Taylor bad been di. rected to select and occupy, on or near the Rio Grande del Norte ; such a site as would be best adapted to repel invasion and to protect our Western border. But on the 8th of July fol- lowing, the Secretary of War (Mr. Marcy) ad- dressed the following letter to him: ‘‘ This Department is informed that Mexico has some military establishments on the east side of the Rio Grande, which are and for some time have been, in the actual occupancy of her troops. In carrying out the instructions here- tofore received, you will be careful to avvid any acts of aggression unless an actual state of war should exist. ‘The Mexican forces at the posts in their possession, and which have been so, will not be disturbed as long as the re- lations of peace between the United States and Mexico continue.” . On the 30th July, 1845, the Secrtary again addressed General Taylor as fullows : ‘You are expected to occupy, protect and defend the ter- ritory of Texas, to the extent (hg has been occupied by the people of Texagge The Rio Grande is claimed to be the bite ween the two countries, and up to the: are to extend your protection, only e@cepting any posts on the eastern side thereof, which are in the actual occupancy of Mesican forces, or Mexican settlements, over which the Republic of Texas did not exercise jurisdiction at the pe- riod of annexation or shortly before that event. It is expected, in selecting the establishment for your troops, you will approach as near the boundary line, the Rio Grande, as prudence will dictate. With this view the President de- sires that your position for a part of your forces at least, should be west of the River Nueces.” The Mexican settlements, thus excepted, are not those over which Texas did not claim ju- risdiction, but those on the east bank of the Rio Grande over which Texas did not exercise Jurisdiction at the period mentioned. The Pres- ident had no authority to give-vp the boundary claimed by Texas; but it is clear that at that time, when war was not con the Ad- ministration was of the opioion that, till the question was definitely settled, the ney hy the Mexicans of the territory adjacent the left bank of the del Norte ought not to be dis. turbed. Neither the subsequent refusal by Mexico to receive a residing Envoy, nor the successes of the American arms have affected the question of right. The claim of ‘lexas, whether to New Mexico.or to the lower portion of the Rio Norte, was identically the same, as invalid and groundless {none case as in the other. Why a distinction has been made by Ee eccomive has not been stated. The fact is that he has established a temporary.Govern. Rent for New Mexico, as a count @uiered and without any regard to the clatam px? while, on the other hand, he has*pem State to extend its jurisdiction over lying on the lefi bank of the def? like New Mexico, had been cong arms of the United States.

The line of the Rio Norte is one from which Mexico would be perpetually threatened, and which their adjacent town on the eastern bank may be bombarded. Such an intolerable nui- sance would perpetuate most hostile feelings. With such a narrow river as the Rio del Norte and with a joint right of navigation, repeated collisions would be unavoidable. Among these, when there was nothing but a fordable river to cross, slaves would perpetual. ly escape from Texas; and where would be impose, by a treaty on Mexico, where slave. is unknown, the obligation to surrender fu gitive slaves ? Mexico is greatly the weaker power, and re. quires a boundary which will give her as much security as is prac'icable. It is not required, either for the preservation of peace or for any other legitimate purpose, that the United States should occupy a threatening position. It can- not be rationally supposed that Mexico will ev- er make an aggressive war against them ; and even in such a case, the desert would them against invasion.

THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1848. FOR PRESIDENT, GENERAL ZACHARY TAYLOR, OF LOUISIANA. GEN. TAYLOR. It having been settled pretty much to our satisfaction, that the great Statesman of the West, Henry Cray, will not permit his name to go before the people, at the approaching election, as a candidate for the Presidency, we have run up,the name of General ZACHARY TAYLOR, as‘our choice ; subject, however, to the decision of a National Convention.—It is not worth our while to go into a history of the life of Gen. Tay ok, or of the battles fought and won by him. Every body knows him. Every body has been struck with the unostentatious style and habits of the hero of Palo Alto and Buena Vista. As to his political principles, we have not a doubt, but that he is Whig, for how could he be otherwise, if he administers the Government upon the principles adopted by our early Presidents, viz: Washing- ton, Jefferson, Madison, &c., &c. The policy adopted and maintained by these great men is directly antagonistical to thatof modern democracy. It is just such as the great Whig party of the present day, have been contending for since the days of Gen. Jackson. The Whigs de- sire to see the Government administered economically, and the favorite system of Locofocoism, of rewarding partizans, whe- ther qualified or not, done away—our Country brought back to its former pris- tine purity ; and the only qualifications required of men, “ is he honest, is he ca- pable.” Gen. Tay or, we believe to be the very man to bring about such refor- mation, and restore our Country to its for- mer prosperity and glory. CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR. For some time this question has been agitated by many of our Whig cotempo- raries. The names of several good men and true have been mentioned ; among them, the Hon. Enwarp Sranty. Mr. Man- Ly, R. Hinges, Joun Kerr and Col. ANDREW Joyner. So far as our personal inclinations go, Mr. Sranty, is our decided choice. though we have not the least fear as to the qual- ifications of either of the other gentlemen named. Any one of them would adorn the Gubernatorial Chair of the Old North. But should the mantle fall upon either of the above mentioned gentlemen, when the State Convention assembles, we shall give him a hearty support. So far as Mr. Sranzy is concerned, we are satisfied he would make an excellent canvass, should the Locofocos make it necessary for him to traverse the State, by imposing that la- boron their candidate, provided they bring out an opponent to the Whig candidate. In Epwarp Sran.y, we have an able and ready debater, one in whose hands the Whig cause would not suffer; and whom contend with, as he is well informed in bath State and National politics. “No time in particular has, as yet, been named for the Convention to meet, but we are inclined to the opinion that it should be at a later period than formerly, say in March or April. This time would givea better representation from all the Coun- ties, which is very desirable, as the weather is likely not to be so inclement. This subject ought to be attended to. Let the Whigs of the several Counties wake up, and delegates be appointed to attend the Convention and a full and fair expres- sion of the voice of the Whigs of the State made known.

Here is a heavy charge, made in a high Locofoco quartet, against the Locofoco majority in the last Congress! Now what are the facts in the matter 1? Senator Davis is in part right. But let the whole truth be told and then let the 1e- sponsibility in the matter rest where it belongs. Senator Crittenden promptly corrected the Mis- sissippi Senator, so far as the action of the Se- nate was concerned. He showed that the Se- nate had unhesitatingly voted for every thing that the Administration had asked for, to enable it to carry on the war, after its own fashion.— Mr. Davis thought the other branch of Con. gress pursued a more dilatory and reluctant course. And now let the true key to the matter be fur- nished. Mr. McKay, the great radical Loco. foco chairman of the House Committee of Ways and Means, throughout the last two Congresses, was furnished by the War Department with the necessary estimates for carrying on the war, in which estimates was a single item of ten mill- ions of dollars, placed there upon the earnest re- commendation of General Jessup, for the expe- dition of General Scott’s column of the Army to the City of Mexico. ‘This important item, which, it voted by Congress, would have provi- ded every thing that General Scott needed to perfect his plans, was, I am credibly informed, struck out by the prudent and economical Mr. McKay, and not reported to Congress at all! It may be that he had the countenance of Mr. Polk and Mr. Marcy for doing this, as those functionaries are ever studying how to conceal from, or misrepresent to, the people, the real sums which the war is costing them. Let Jefferson Davis’s remarks on this subject go to the country, and let the country see from this statement, who, and who alone, are to blame for the insufficient and tardy action ot Congress, which the gallant accuser says caused Ameri- can blood to drench the battle fields of Buena Vista, Cerro Gordo, Churubusco, Contreras and Chepultepec ? e “ Let the galled jade wince !

The House of Representatives yesterday, (says the National Intelligencer of the 3d,) sig- nalized itself by a homage to Truth, the more brilliant and striking because unexpected at so early a day in the session, though not doubted in the end by those who believe, as we do, that the ultimate triumph of truth over Error is cer- tain: * Yesterday being Resolution-day, Mr. Houston, the Whig Member from Delaware, having previously given notice of his intention to do so, introduced a resolution of thanks to General Taylor and the Army under his com. mand for the great achievement of the Battle of Buena Vista. This Resolution, Mr. Henley, one of the Democratic Representatives from Indiana, mov- ed to amend by adding to the words describing the Army these words :—“ engaged as they were in defending the rights and honor of the nation.” setts, moved to further amend, by adding these words :—“ In a war unnecessarily and uncon- stitutionally begun by the President of the Uni- ted States.” and nays were ordered; and the vote being ta- ken, it stood as follows, Yeas 85, nays 81.

WasHIncTon, Jan. 4, 1848. The estimates of expenditure furnished by the Secretary of the Treasury are deemed so unfair and erroneous, that but an opportunity is wanted in Congress to expose them. The measures recommended by the present Admin- istration will require an appropriation of more present Congress, The Secretary asks for fif- ty-five millions for the ordinary expenses of Go- vernment, and this, as is shown by the recently published letter of Gen. Jessup, after cutting down the estimates of those more cognizantthan eres himself with the waats of the ser. To these $55,000,000 add fourteen millions to meet deficiencies for the past year, and to these $14,000,000 again add thirty millions more for the thirty regiments now asked for as a necessary augmentation to the Army. Here you have ninety-nine millions of dollars,—and if the per centage of deficiency for the year, 1848, & 749, shall bear any proportion to the known deficiency for the fiscal year 1847-48, the sum will be immensely increased beyoud the amount.named in the éstim also unusual demands upon Cor ae ies of x mnie.” cellaneous Bie: This en ment Mr. Ashmun, of Massachu.- | On agreeing to this last amendment, the yeas | than one hundred millions of dollars from the j- es.

He should speak freely of men and measures. In proposing (at last session) the line policy, he believed it the best means of saving blood and money, The President had thought otherwise, and the war had been prosecuted. Our arms had been victorious ; but what has been ac- complished? We are now no nearer peace than when the campaign commenc- ed. Who isto blame? Not the menen- gaged in the battles. The fault lies in the origin of the war. With the loss of men and treasure, we have nothing achie v- ed but military glory. He declared the reports from the de- partments, in reference to the whole sub- ject, as fallacious. The defensive line would not have consumed so much blood and treasure, and have resulted in practi- cal good. There are many and powerful reasons, added to former objections, which urged him to oppose the war. Its expense not Jess than a hundred and sixty millions of dollars, if continued.

Men you may get, but money, in the fu- ture, would be hard to procure—he had reason to believe, from good authority. He descanted on the idea of an ‘hon- orable peace ;’ and believed that the more successful the war should be prosecuted, the greater certainty there was of accom- plishing, what he most feared, the entire overthrow of Mexico’s nationality, and | the sovereignty of the country transferred tous. This he apprehended, if the Presi- dent’s recommendations should be carried out. The President speaks of keeping down factions, and these~he (Mr. Calhoun) supposed were to be kept down by our miltary forces. Where then the preser- vation of its republican government, as spoken by the President ? . He passed in review the influences— religious, political and military—exercis- ed over the people of Mexico; and op- posed, most emphatically, the effort to es- tablish a uniform government for Mexico, by our government. If the Executive should fail in this, it is proposed to ‘ hold on the occupation of territory,’ and ‘ en- force terms,’ giving the President’s lan- guage. Spend $60,000,000, sacrifice thousands of men, and then fail to build up a government, the reason for seizing and holding territory will be increased. End the war, and we can more surely secure indemnity. Push on the war, and you not only defeat the idea of in- demnity, and entail a national debt, to | operate oppressively upon every citizen of this Union, for generations to come.

We | have conquered neighboring tribes of In. | dians, but never was it dreamed of to an- | nex their territory by conquest: yet it is | proposed to subdue and incorporate these | Mexicans—whose habits, language, an mixed race, are so dissimilar—into our | government. To incorporate Mexico would be incon- | sistent with the genius of our government, | and dangerous to its free institutions.

H’dquarters, Chichapa, May 15, 1847. Approved and granted. W. J. WORTH, Maj. Gen. Com’g. The second cause of complaint on the part of Gen. Worth against the General- in-chief, was the disapprobation of the latter, at a circular addressed by the for- mer to his division alone, at a period when the entire force of the army, including the General-in-chief, was garrisoned in the city of Puebla, with the ‘exception of the small force left at Jalapa.under Colonel Childs. That circular purported to con- vey the information to the first division, of which Gen. Worth was the commanding officer, that a design was contemplated by the citizens of Puebla to poison the fountains from whence our army drew their daily supply of ‘water, and in that way destroy us; and placing them on their guard against such inhuman and nefarious designs, if-in reality there was any ground of apprehension whatever that such threats had been made, or, if made, whether there was the slightes* possibility of théir being put in execution. To the excepfions taken by the Gener- al-in-chief at these two official acts of Gen. Worth, the latter became greatly in- censed, and, permitting his feelings to pet’, vert his better’ judgment, became most violently and bitterly inimical to the Gen- eral-in-chief. The result was, what eve- ry reflecting officer in the army most deep- ly regretted, a rupture in those friendly relations which, for upwards of 30 years, had existed between these two gallant and distinguished military chieftains. ry limited extent by the General-in-chief after the finding of the court of inquiry demanded by Gen.

Puebla, June 30, 1847. Abstract of proceedings of a Court of Inquiry which convened at this place by virtue of general orders No. 186, head- quarters of the army, and of which Maj. J. A. Quitman is President: 1. The said Court of Inquiry proceeded in due form to investigate the subjects embraced in the two papers herfein cited, viz.: First, the General Order No. 186, Headquarters of the Army, Puebla, Mex- ico, June 24, 1847, as follows: “ At the instance of Brevet Major Gen- eral Worth a Court of Inquiry will meet in the building called the Palace of this city, at ten o’clock tomorrow morning, to investigate certain matters in which that General Officer conceives himself to have been injured by the General-in-chief of this army, viz: in the matter of the terms granted by the said Brevet Major Gen- eral to the functionaries of this city, in the way of capitulation, as guarantees, at or about the time (May 15, 1847) of his en- trance with the advanced corps of the ar- my into the city, and in the matter of a circular, dated June 16, 1847, published by the said Major General to the officers of his divsion.” If there be ot' er matters in the conduct of the said Brevet Major General which he may specially desire to have investi- gated by the said Court of Inquiry, he will submit them to the General-in-chief, thro’ the Recorder, for further orders in the case. , Detail.—Major General Quitman, Brig. Gen. Twiggs, Brevet Brigadier General Smith, Members. Lieut. R. P. Hammond is appointed special Judge Advocate. The Court will give an opinion of the merits of all the matters investigated by it. By command of Maj. Gen. Scott : H. L. SCOTT, A.A.A.G. Second. A brief statement by Brevet Maj. Gen. Worth, of the matters in which he conceived himself wronged by the General-in-chief, and to which the inves- tigation extended under the order institu- ting the court, in the following terms, viz : I. In the matter of an interview had May 15th, at Chichapa, Mexico, between Brevet Major General Worth, command- ing Ist division of the army, and the civil authorities of Puebla, at the instance of said Brevet Major General—the General- in-chief (verbally and in writing) hasim- property, in manner and in matter, char- acterized the proceedings at said inter- view to the prejudice and wrong of said Brevet Major General. If In the matter of a circular, which was add by Brevet Major General Worth, to the 1st Division, on or about ‘The following ordef, publish®d to axe-. June 16th, 1847—the General-in-chief, verbally and in writing, has harshly and injuriously characterized said circular, and in manner uncalled for, and to the undeserved reproach of said inferior offi- cer. After an investigation of the above mat- ters, the court made the following deci- sion in the case: OPINION. That, regarding the remarks of the Gen- eral-in-chief, dated June 17th instant, en- dorsed upon the translated copy of a let- ter from the Mexican Judge Duran to Ma- jor General Scott. dated the 16th of June instant, as hypothetical and applicable eniy to claims urged by the Mexican au- thorities which the General-in-chief, at the time of his remarks, supposed to be “ without authority,” and which Brevet Major Gen. Worth insists were not con- ceded by any of his official acts, the Court can perceive nothing in the remarks of the General-in-chief to which Brevet Ma- jor General Worth could -properly take exception. The Court is further of opinion that the terms of stipulation granted by Brevet Major General Worth to the functionaries of the city of Puebla upon his entrance with the advanced corps of the army into that city on the 15th of May last, were unnecessarily ytelded, improvident, and. in effect detrimental to the public service.— And that the grant of these privileges was in contravention of the ninth and tenth paragraphs of General Orders No. 20, published at Tampico on the 29th day of February last, and was not warranted by the letter of instructions of the General-in- chief of Gen. Worth. ; The Court, as required, further declares its opinion that the “circular” published by Brevet Major General Worth to his di- vision, dated Puebla, June 16, 1847, was highly improper and extremely objection- able in,mapy respects, especially as it might tend, by exasperating the whole’ Mexican nation, to thwart the well-known pacific policy of the United States, and, in view of the high source from which it eminated, to disturb the friendly relations of our Government with Spaigfor at least give occasion to that Power to call for explanations or apologies. The barbar- ous offence against which the circular | warned the soldiers of the first division, if it existed*at all, equally affected the whole army. The information obtained by Gen. Worth, if worthy of notice, should there- fare have been communicated to the General-in-chief, that he might have .ex- ercised his discretion on the means to be adopted for correcting the evil. With these views of the circular allu- ded to, the Court is of opinion that it call- ed for the emphatic admonition and rebuke of the General-in-chief. In conclusion, this Court deems it mate- rial to the case to express the opinion titat is the right and the duty of the General- in-chief, and indispensable to the preser- vation of proper discipline in the army, that he should at all times possess the pri- vilege of freely commenting upon, disap- proving, or censuring the official acts of his subordinate officers. II]. The General-in-chief approves the proceedings and opinion in the foregoing case. III. This order will not extend beyond the commanders of divisions and brigades, and the chiefs of the general staff. jor General Quitman is president, is dis- solved. By command of Maj. Gen. Scott : HH.

BROWN & JAMES. if 36 Jan. 1, 1848 PEACE WITH MEXICO. BY ALBERT GALLATIN. VI.—Recapitulation. It is an indisputable fact that the annexation of Texas, then at war with Mexico, was tant- amount to a declaration of war, and that the comparative weakness of Mexico alone pre- vented its Government from considering it as such. Under these circumstances, it was evidently the duty of the United States to use every means to soothe and conciliate the Mexicans, and to wait with patience for and unconditional recog- nition of the independence of Texas, till the feelings excited by our aggression bad subsi- ded. It has been shown that after Mexico had re. sorted, as a substitute for war, to the harmless suspension of the ordinary diplomatic inter- course, the attempt to make it retract thal meas. ure, before any negotiations fur the restoration of harmony between the two countries should be entered into was neithor countenanced by the acknowledged of nations, nor necessary for any useful purpose, nor consistent with a pro- per and just sense of the relative position in which the aggressive measures of the United States had placed the two countries. But that the refusal of Mexico to submit to that addition. al contumely, should have been considered as an insult tothe U. States, betrayes the pride of power, rather than a just sense of what is due to she true dignity,and honor of this nation. It has been demonstrated, that the Republic IV. The Court of Inquiry, of which Ma.- | property has been occasioned by an unu- sually high stage of water in the Tennes- | Twenty-three have been washed from— of Texas ‘ad nota shadow of the right to the territory adjacent to fe left bank of the lower portion of the Rio Norte ; that though she claim. ed, she never ha@Attually exercised) over any portion of it; thatthe the sole inhabitants, and in et DOssession of that district; that therefore its fortible oc. cupation bythe army of the United States was according to the acknowledged law of nations, as well as in fact, amact of open hostility and war; that the resistance of the Mexicans to that invasion was legitimate! and that there. fore the war was unprovoked by them, and commenced by the United States. If any doubt should remain of the correctness of these statements, let them be tested by the Divine undeniable precept. ‘Do unto others as you would be done by.” If at this moment France was to contract a treaty of defensive and offensive alliance with Mexico, a treatry taking effect immediately, and pending the war between tne United States and Mexico and binding herself to defend it with all her forces against any and every other Power, would not the United States at once consider such a treaty as a declaration of war against them ? If, in lieu of declaring war against Great Britain, in the year 1812, the United States had only suspended the ordinary diplomatic re- lations between the two countries; and Great Britain had declared that she would not enter into any negotiation for the settlement of all the subjects of difference between the two coun- tries, unless the United States should, as a pre- liminary condition, restore those relations; would not this have been considered as a most insolent demand, and to which the U. States never could submit ? Ifthe United States were,and had been for more than a century, in possession of a tract of coun. try, exclusively inhabited and governed by them distarbed only by the occasional] forays of an enemy; would they not consider the forcible military invasion and occupation of such a dis- trict by a third Power, as open and unprovoked war, commenced against them? And could their resistance to the invasion render them li- able to the imputation of having themselves commenced the war? Yet it would seem as if the splendid and al- | most romantic successes of the American arms | had, for a while, made the people of the Uni- ted States deaf to any other consideration than an enthusiastic and exclusive love of military glory; as if, forgetting the origin of the war, _and with an entire disregard for the dictates | | of justice, they thought that those successes | | gave the nation a right to dismember Mexico, _and to appropriate to themselves that which did not belong to them. , But- I do nat despair, for I have faith in now ask them whether this was their mission? and whether they were placed by Providence on this continent for the purpose of cultivating false glory, and of sinking to the level of those vulgar conquerors who have at all times deso- lated the earth. VIl.—The Mission of the United States. The people of the United States have been placed by Providence in a position never be- fore enjoyed by any other nation. They are possessed of a most extensive territory, with a very fertile soil, a variety of climates and pro- | ductions, and a capacity of sustaining a popu- | lation greater, in proportion to its extent, than | any other territory of the same size on the face | of the globe. | By aconcourse of various circumstances they | found themselves, at the epoch of their Inde- | pendence, in the full enjoyment of religious, civil and political liberty, entirely free from any hereditary monopoly of wealth or power. The | people at large were in full and quiet posses- sion of all those natural rights for which the people of other countries have for a long time contended, and still do contend. ‘They were and you still are, the supreme sovereigns, ac- knowledged as such by all. For the proper exercise of these uncontrolled powers and priv. \ileges you are responsible to posterity, to the world at large, and to the Almighty Being who has poured on you such unparalleled blessings. Your mission is to improve the state of the world, to be the ‘“* Mode! Republic,” to show that men are capable of governing themselves and that this simple and natural fourm of Gov- | ernment is that also which confers most happi- _ness on all, is productive of the greatest devel- | opment of the intellectual faculties,—above all | that which is attended with the highest stand- | ard of private and political virtue and morality. Your forefathers, the founders of the Repub- | periment attempted with any cess, and-on a large: scale, tive Democratic Republic. hope of the friends of mankind’ definitely postponed ;' and the eyes ofthe were turned toward yous.

Every: of territory from Foreign Powers ‘was: made, the result of Treaties, not imposed, freely assented to by the other ee servation of peace fe evera lien The recourse to arms was always in weikane fence. On its expediency there may-have been a difference of opinion ; that, in the only two instances of conflict with civilized nations which occurred during a_period of sixty.three (1783 to 1846) the just, rights af the van od States had been invaded. bya long- series of aggressions, is undeniable. in the first instance War was not declared ; andthere were only partial hostilities between: France and England. The Congress of the United States, the only legitimate organ of the nation fur that purpose, did, in 1812, declare War against Great Britain. Independeat of depres dations on our Commerce, she had, for twenty years, carried on an actual War since thereds now but one opinion on that subject ; a renews al of the impressment of men sailing under-the protection of our flag would be tantamountto a declaration of war. “The partial opposition tothe war of 1812 did not rest on a denial of the ag. gressions of England and of the justice of oar cause, but on the fact that, with the exception of impressments, similar infractions of — rights had been committed by France, and on the most erronous belief that the Administem lion was partial to that country, and insinceté in their apparent efforts to restore Peace. At present, all these principles would seem to have been abandoned. The most: just, & purely defensive war—and no other is justifies ble—is necessarily attended with a train-of great and unavoidable evils. What shall. we say of one, iniquitous in its origin and provoke ed by ourselves, of a war of aggression, which our institutions and in the peopte: and [ will | is now publicly avowed to be one of conquest. 3 If persisted in, its necessary consequences will be, a permanent increase of our Military Establishment and of Executive patronageg its general tendency to make man hate \mam to awaken his worst passions, to accustom him tothe taste of blood. It has already .dés moralized no inconsiderable portion of the ma. tion. The general Peace which had been preservs ed between the great European Powers, during the last thirty years, may not be ascribed tothe purest motives. Be these what they may, this long and unusual repose bas been moat ficial to the cause of humanity. Nothing can be more injurious to it, more lamentable, more scandalous than the war between the two ade jacent Republics of North America. Your mission was, to be a model for all eth. er Governments and for all other less favores tions, to adhere to the most elevated principles of political morality, to apply all your faculties to the gradual improvement of your own insti. tutions and social state, and, by your examplea to exert a moral influence most beneficial to mankind at large. Instead of this, an appeal has been made to your worst passions ; to CBs pidity, to the thirst of unjust aggrandizement by brutal force; to the love of military fame and of false glory ; and it has even been tried to pervert the noblest feelings of your nature. The attempt is made to make you abandon the lofty position which your fathers ocoupied, to substitute for it the politicel morality and hea. then patriotism of the heroes and statesmen of antiquity. I have said, that it was attempted to pervert even your virtues. Devotedness to country, or patriotism, is a most essential virtue, since the national existence of any society depends upon ‘it. Unfortunately, our most virtuous disposi- | tions are perverted, not only by our vices and selfishness, but also by theirown excess. Even |the most holy of our attributes, the religious | feeling, may be perverted from that cause, as was but too lamentably exhibited in the prose, cutions even unto death, of those who were | deemed heretics. It is not, therefore, aston- | ishing, that patriotism, carried to excess, sh also be perverted. In the entire devotedness to their country, the people, every-where and at all times, have been too apt to forget the duties imposed upon them by justice toward other pa- tions. It is against this natural propensity that you should be specially on your guard. The blame does not attach to those who, led by theif patriotic feeling, though erroneous, flock around , the national standard. On the contrary,no men | are more worthy of admiration, better entitled | to the thanks of their country, than those who, afier war has once taken place, actuated only | by the purest motives, daily and with the gt. | most self-devotedness, brave death and staké | their own lives in the conflict against the actual enemy. I must confess, that I do not extend | the same charity to those civilians, who coolly | and deliberately plunge the country into | unjust or unnecessary war. —— We should have but one conscience ; and “most happy would it be for mankind, were | statesmen and politicians only as honest in thei? | management of the internal or external nation | al concerns, as they are in private life. THe _irreproachable private character of the Pres? ident, and of all the members of bis admintétra: tion, is known and respected. There is tat one of them who would not spurn with indigt nation the most remote hint that, on’ simifar | pretences to those alleged for dismembering , Mexico, he might be capable of an attempt fo | appropriate to himself his neighbor’s farm, : | Inthe total absence of any argument ki | can justify the war in which we are now iff- volyed, resort bas been had to a most extraor- | dinary assertion. It is said, that the people ‘ of the United States have an hereditary supeti> ority of race over the Mexicans, which gave them the right to subjugate aud keep in bondage the inferior nation. This, it is also alleged, will be the means of enlightening the degraded Mexicans, of improving their social state, and cf ultimately increasing the happiness of the | masses. a | Ieit compatible with the spirit of De | cy, which rejects every hereditary claim oy Ra e , el l os a dividuals, to admit an hereditary superiority of races? You very properly deny, that the son can, independent of his own merit, derive any right or privilege whatever from the merit or any other social superiority of his father. ne yau for a moment suppose that a very doubt - descent from men, who lived one thousan years ago bas transmitted to you a superiority over your felluow-men? But the Anglo-saxons were inferior to the Goths, from whom the Spaniards claim to be descended ; and they were in no respect superior to the Franks and to the Burgundians. Jt is not to their Anglo- Sazon descent, but to a variely of causes, a- mong which the sulisequent mixture of French- ifed Normans, Angevions and Gascons must not be forgotten, that the English are indebted fur their superior institutions. In the progress. ive improvement of mankind, much more has heen due to religious and political institutions, than to races. Whenever the European na. tions, which, from their language, are presumed to belong tothe Latin or to the Sclavonian race, shall bave conquered institutions similar to those of England, there will be no trace left of the pretended superiority of one of those races above the other. At this time, the claim is but a pretext for covering and justifying unjust usur- pation and unbounded ambition. But admitting with respect to Mexico, the superiority of race, this confers no superiority of rights. Among ourselves, the most ignor- ant, the most inferior, either in physical or mental faculties, is recognized as having equal rights, and he has an equal vote with any one however superior to him in all those respects. This founded on the iinmutable principle that no one man is born with the right of governing another man. He may, indeed, acquire a mor- al influence over others, and no other is legiti- mate. ‘The same principle will apply to na- tions. However superior the Anglo-American race may be to that of Mexico, this pives the Americans no right to infringe upon the rights of an inferior race, ‘The people of the United Btates may rightfully and will, if they use the proper means, exercise a most beneficial mor. | al influence over the Mexicans and other less | enlightened nations of America. Beyond this they have no right to go. e allegation that the subjugation of Mexi- co would be the means of enlightening the Mexicans, of improving their social state and of increasing their happiness, is but the shallow | attempt to disguise cupidity and ambition.— Truth never was, or can be propagated by fire and sword, or by any other than purely moral means. By these, and by these alone, the in leas than three hundred years, to conquer idolatry, During the whole of that period, Christianity was tainted by no other blood than that of its martyrs. The duties of the people of the United States toward other nations are obvious. Never losing | sight of the divine precept, * Do to others as you would be done by,” they have only to consult their own conscience. For our benevolent Creator has implanted in the hearts of men the | moral sense of right and wrong, and that sym- pathy for other men, the evidences of which are of dally occurrence. It seems unnecessary to add anything re- specting that false glory which, from habit, and | the general tenor of our early education, we are taught to admire. The task has already been repeatedly performed, in a far more able and impressive manner, than anything I could say on the subject. It is sufficient to say that, at this time, neither dignity or honor of the nation demand a farther sacrifice of invaluable lives, | ~~. : : | unimpeached integrity, that have recom- | DENCY. The visit of Gem. Taylor to the United States (says the Savannah Republican, an able Whig paper) has been one contin- ued triumph. His reception in New Or- leans was more enthusiastic than even that of the illustrious Lafayette, for whose services daring the storm of our Revolu- tion, every man with an American heart in his bosom entertains the liveliest senti- ments of gratitude. The progress of Gen. Taylor along the Mississippi was marked by anxious gaze of thronging multitudes, by almost incessant cheering and by the firing of cannon. In advance of his pro- gress, invitations are showered upon him and in the populous cities of the North, so tar removed from scenes of his victories, the notes of preparation for his cordial greeting are already heard. Sucha wel- come is worthy of the old hero, who comes among us to exchange the din of battle and the shouts of victory for peaceful huz- zas, for congratulations and public rejoic- ings. And is it not alone for brilliant deeds and noble bearing on many a well fought field that General Taylor is revered. The signal successes of a great General ex- cite our warmest commendations and e- licit our admiration and acknowledg- ments but it is not always they move our feelings to their depths and call up the most generous tribute of our hearts. There must be superadded to the testimonials of a brilliant career, something which be- longs to the personal character of the man himself. And in this respect Gen. Tay- lor may be emphatically termed “the man of the poeple.” His simple tastes and un- unity of a well balanced. massive and ‘consistent character, the plainness of his inanners and mode of life, his spotless in- tegrity and almost blunt honesty make him so... There is no distance between him and the people. He is one of them and he is loved for all his simple and manly virtues. He exercises a mild and und’'s puted sway overthe popular heart; not | because he seeks to do so, not because he exerts himself to attract the love and ven- | | eration of his fellow citizens, but he does \it in spite of himself. It isthe high pre- | Christian religion was propagated, and enabled | rogative of a generous and noble and |simple nature like his to be reverenced because men naturally reverence the lof- ty heroism and unshakable self reliance | of a modest retiring truthful and unpre- ending man. No! It is not on his bat- ‘tle fields alone that Taylor is great—He who would analyse the suorees of his en- viable popularity must go beyond those /'memorable theatres of his renown and | find other causes in the marked symme- try of his well adjusted and severely sim- ple character. It is such qualities as those above reci- ted that have maintained the steady lus- ‘tre of Taylor’s reputation not only while all eyeson this continent were directed _ towards him but while condemned to com- _ parative inactivity during the magnificent career of the gallant Scott.

FLARE UP IN WASHINGTON. We learn, says the Richmond Repub- lican, that quite a scene took place at the Fremont trial on Friday. Gen. Kearney called attention to the fact, that during his examination as a wit- ness, Col. Benton sat opposite to him, frow- ning and making grimaces, evidently with a view to intimidate and confuse him. He called the attention of the Court to the | Circumstance, not with a view to ask any | Protection for himself, but that the triba- | nal might preserve the decorum due to its | own dignity, Col. Benton, in reply, admitted that he | had so frowned upon the witness, who had quatled under his glance; and after | the rising of the court, whose decision we | did not hear denounced Kearney in the Court Yard as a perjured witness, (not in ‘his presence, however.)

The affair had created great excitement, and a more rigorous | policy of vigilance and precaution bad ‘immediately been adepted. “a ate: FIRST SESSION. . THIRTIETH CONGRESS. Cotrespondence of the Baltimore Amerigan. Wasaineton, Jan. 12. Mr. Clayton’s Speech drew a crowd to the Senate to-day, and commanded very, marked attention among the Senators. and all present. General Scott was. vin- dicated from the recommendation of the force now sought to be raised, and an anec- dote was told of him as follows: Mr. Clayton said that before General Scott went to Mexico, he remembered to have asked him if he was not apprehen- sive of defeat in the mountain passes of that extraordinary country? He smiled, and said that with 5000 American regu- lars he could whip any army which Mex- ico could raise, though it rained Mexicans for a week. Mr. Clayton said he could not exactly understand what the President meant by “indemnity for the past and security for the future,” but an engenious friend had told him that indemnity for the past meant one-half of Mexico, and security for the future the other half.” [Immense laugh- ter. } Mr. C. wished gentlemen upon the oth- er side to answer whether war by con- | quest, or rapine, was a legitimate power of this Goverriment. He denied it.—There was no such power, express or implied. To establish justice was the object of the establishment of this Government, and not conquest. Our Government was or- ganized for pacific and not warlike pur- poses. But we were pursuing a course which would compel us to lay hold of the whole of Mexico, and these Bills were elements of this great design. It is claimed here (in Resolutions de- livered yesterday by Mr. Hannegan) that the annexation of all Mexico as a Pro- vince is constitutional. We were indeed about to send to Mexico an armed emi- gration. There were in Mexico 8,000,000 of people. most of them colored men. | There were as many Abolitionists in the / country, and a fact like this ought to a- 'larm this country. Admit of all Mexico, and you could He besought men to pause where he had pau- _sed, and to keep that territory from this | Union. He intended to vote for supplies, clothing, munitions, &c., but no more troops were necessary. The financial question was then con- sidered, and it was argued that an enor- mous expenditure would be necessary, much beyond any amount which would be raised to do what Mr. Johnson propo- sed. It was said it would be the utter annihilation of Mexico. You prevented them from having a power to negotiate a peace. The Government was now col- onizing Mexico by the bayonet. The idea of colonizing Mexicoas a Pro- vince was regarded as impracticable and abused. This was borrowing the exam- | ple of the Despotism of Europe. If we / meant annexation and to seize the whole of Mexico let us say so. Mr. Clayton closed with some strong comparisons between modern Democracy and the Democracy of Jefferson, when commissioners were sent to France to ne- gotiate for obtaining territory, whereas the Executive would now lay violent hands upon territory without negotiation of any sort. ' A large number of anti war memorials | were presented to the Senate during the ‘day, from Indiana, Ohio, and different parts of New England, one of these was thirty six yards long, and signed by the principal clergymen and laymen of the Unitarian denomination. Mr. Yulee, you will observe, has pre- sented a series of resolutions, as a sub- ‘stitute to those ottered by Mr. Dickinson. The design appears to be to proclaim the right of the South to hold all conquered territory in common with the free States, and if need be, to extend the institution of slavery over such conquered territory. and would send this Union to atoms. This subject, the most exciting which can come bofore Congress, will enter. here, to know what Congress will do. Mr. Butler, of S. C. will tomorrow move the recommitment of the Ten Regiment Bill, with a vew of providing for keeping the old regiments full rather than allow- ing the organization of ten additional Reg- iments. Mr. Pearce, of Maryland, will speak to morrow, and there is much anxiety to hear him on the War question. The House by a very decided vote in. | dicated an intention this morning to de- bate at greater length the President’s Message in Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union. Therearea great | many speeches to be made upon Internal | Improvements, the Tariff, Currency, and , most of all, upon the War. | The question of classifying claims up- _on Congress, and giving the names of re- | jected Claimants, was further considered and sent back to the Committee on claims with instruction to make inquiries.

Mr. Sevier, from the committee on for- eign relations, reported back the joint res- ascertain and determine the a of each of thé ¢laims of Our citizens against Mexico, with an amendment providing that in no event shall the United States be held responsible for these claims. Mr. Ashley, from the committee on the judiciary, reported back the bill changing _the times and places of holding the Dis- trict Courts of the U. States in Virginia, with several amendments. Several private bills were reported, and adverse reports made in some cases. The bill for the relief of W. B. Slaugh- ter, late Secretary of the Territory of Wisconson, was read a third time and passed. The Senate then took up the resolutions of Mr. Dickinson, relative to annexation of territory. Mr. Dickinson supported his resolutions in a written speech of some length, con- tending that we ought to annex the whole to be determined by the people who may inhabit the acquired territory. The peo- ple demanded more territory, and even had the war with Mexico never taken place, it would have been impossible to have prevented the annexation of a por- tion of Mexico. Mr. Yulee was much pleased with the liberality of the Senatot from New York, on one point embraced in his resolutions, his southern views. fore, at the proper time, to submit an a- ‘mendment declaring that the federal gov- ernment has no delegated authority, nor the territorial community any inherent right, to exercise any legislative power within the territory belonging to, or which may be acquired by, the United States, by which the equal right of all the citizens of the United States to acquire and enjoy any part of the common property, may be impaired or embarrassed. Mr. Hale gave notice that he would, at the proper time, move to amend the reso- lations by striking out all after the word ‘ Resolved’ and inserting the Wilmot Pro- viso. The Resolutions were then laid on the table. The Senate then proceeded to the special or. der, and tbe ccnsideration of the Ten Regiment bill was resumed. Mr. Clayton resumed his remarks in opposi- tion to the bill. He contended that there was no necessity for the increase of the force asked for, that now in the service being sufficient evento conquer all Mexico. He was willing to vote supplies to our army now there, but not lo create new regiments.

After calling the Senate to order to-day, the Vice President laid before it a report from the Secretary of War in relation to Army Contracts for the past year—which was ordered to be printed. The resolution offered some time since by Mr. Benton, to have printed five thousand cop. ies of a history of Colonel Doniphan’s Expedi- tion, was taken up and adopted. Mr. Mangum offered a resolution requesting the President to communicate all estimates and the Mexican War. Mr. Johnson, of Louisiana, offered a resolu- tion calling upon the Postmaster General for in- formation in regard to the loss which the reve- nae of his Department has sustained, arising from private expresses between New Orleans and Montgomery. The resolution submitted by Mr. Dayton on Tuesday last, calling upon the President for cop- ies of letters from General Scott and Taylor rel- ative to levying forced contributions upon Mex. ico, was taken up and passed.

Mr. Evans, soon after the organization this morning, rose to a privileged question. He moved to reconsider the vote of yesterday lay- ing upon the table a resolution of enquiry rela. live to the rank of Sergeons in the Navy, re- ported by Mr. Schenck from the Naval Com. | mittee. The question was thereupon propound- | ed tothe House, and the motionto reconsider was adopted—yeas 94, nays 66. Mr. Schenck exclaimed the character of the resolution, with clearness—regretting that, coming from a committee, the House should have treated it so cavilierly. The resolution was then adopted, by yeas 83, nays 79. The reply of the President to Mr. Goggin’s resolution respecting the return of Santa Anna to Mexico, was then taken up and read. ‘The President refuses to communicate the instruc- tions called for, because incompatible with the public interest—ciles the example of Washing- plans of General Scott, for the prosecution of he had to differ so widely from his colleague, | Mr. Reverdy Johnson.

Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, moved to lay said resolution on the table. On this motion the yeas and nays were demanded and stood, yeas 99, nays 74. So the resolution was laid on the table. Mr. Andrew Stewart rose to make a person- al explanation. One point in his speech yes- terday was misreported in one of the newspa- ers. He corrected the error. The resolution from the committee on Claims was then taken up. Mr. Rockwell, of Massachusetts, stated that the information called for had been mostly com. piled by Mr. Simon Brown, a former Assis- tant Clerk in this House, and a competent per- son. A debate arose upon the best, readiest and cheapest method in getting the list of claims desired, in which several members took Mr. Evans, of Maryland, moved to recom- mit the resolution to the committee on Claims with instructions to report the most feasible method of obtaining the information desired, which motion was agreed to. The Chair now called on the committees for reports. Many bills of a private nature were reported, read twice, and referred to the com- mittee of the whole. Mr. Hilliard, from the committee on Foreign Relations, reported a bill remoddeling our diplo- matic system. ‘The report presents a history of the diplomatic systems of the eivilized world down to the sitting of the Congress at Vienna, where three grades were established, to wit: Ambassadors; Ministers plenipotentiary and ident. | Among the Reports presented was an | ‘important one by Mr. Hilliard, looking to appointment of a full mission to Rome; | the making of Ministers Resident totake the place of Ministers of the second grade and allowing of Ambassadors in extraordi- nary cases.

It gives a history of our own three grades, viz: Minis- ers Plenipotentiary and Extraordinary ; Min- a revision of the Consular System; the’ isters Residents; and Charge des Affairs; and it proposes an alternation in the grades, so as to send occasionally, Ambassadors to Gov- ernments where the spirit of Republicanism is bursting intoexistence. It recommends a mis- sion to Rome of one of the -higber grades, and presents the reasons thereof. The bill was read and referred in the usual method. Afier the morning business was disposed of, the House resolved itself into committee of the Whole, (Mr. Joseph R. Ingersoll in the chair, ) and took up the President’s mes for refer- ence to the several!

Mr. Chas. J. Ingersoll next obtained the floor. He justified the course the President had thought proper to pursue, and cited author- ity to sustain the President. He moved to re- fer the subject to the committee of the whole House, and made it the order of the day for ‘Tuesday next.

He once extolled Henry Cuay to the skies, now he as bitterly reviles and misrepresents him whenever an opportunity presents itself. And so far as reference is made to this paper in the article referred to, we an- swer, we see nothing to condemn in the vote,as we believe Mr. Boypen hon- est in the conviction which prompted him to give it; much more so than the Editor of the Standard in his attack vpon him for giving this vote. If the War is unjust, (and we hesitate not to say it is.) our army ought to be with- drawn to the east bank of the Rio Grande. Our honor as a nation could not be tar- nished one iota by such a course, but on ‘the contrary. it would shine brighter than It would prove, | that it was not our desire, (as it is not our | true policy) to acquire territory, but to re | main as we are and populate the immense | uantity of Territory which we already | have,—and spread the blessings of our ‘ever before the world.

The First Missionary in Iredell County. Rev. Joun Tuompson, a Member of Done- | gal Presbytery, at the North, came here in the Summer of 1751. His first place of preaching was at old Wa. Morrison's, near Concord Church. Then he had, for a time,a circuit; having a standthere, one at Fourth Creek, Third Creek, and Centre Churches. The tradition in the country is, that he rode around on horse- back, from one infant settlement to another ; prepared to encamp where night might over- take him. He made very justly, these excur- sions, both a source of profit to himself, and of The only pay he received for bis labors was from the lands he took up and | surveyed; and which, fora small consideration, pith the proceedings of that body daily. | he conveyed to his friends, as they emigrated | hither, and needed them. It is known that | some of the best tracts of land on the various | Creeks in this region, were oriyinally surveyed for him, And the deed from him for one lying | on the North Branch of Fifih Creek, to the fa- | ther of the late Dr. James Ha t, is still in exist- ence, and makes mention of two others survey- ed onthe same Creek. This was in February, 1752. When he preached in this vicinity, people flocked from all quarters to hear him: they came from the Davipson settlement, and the re- gion of Beatie’s Ford. From Rowan, came the Cowan's, the Branvon’s, the McEtwrarn’s, the Bravey’s, &c., ‘‘a great crowd.” Some. times he had twenty infants to baptize at once, and some say a great many more. Our information concerning this man, is very limited. He was, however, a native of Ireland: | it is said he came over in 1715, with his fami- | ly: was called to the Church at Lewistown, Delaware, and ordained there the first Wednes- | day of April, 1716. In 1731, he is found at | Chesnut-Level, in Pennsylvania. | He acted an important part in the measures that led to the division in the Presbyterian | Charch,in 1741. He and Dr. Francis ALLIson, may be regarded as the leaders on what was | called the “ old side,” as the TENNENTs were on | the “ new side.” | In fact, he and Mr. ALuison were at the head of a Committee in 1745, to draw up an over- ture, or plan of union, to bring the two parties together ; but which resulted for the time, in their more complete separation. We have an | account of this in Hodge’s Hist. Pres. Church, Part 2d, page 213. He published a work onthe Government of the Church of Christ, in 1741. In 1742, a sermon on the Nature of Conviction He was appointed by the Synod, in 1744, to correspond with the Churches in Car- | olina. | for Sin. | He was one of the greatest men in the Pres- byterian Church, in that age, his enemies being judges : and he was undoubtedly, one of the At least, if we | may judge by the amount of reproach and ob- | loquy cast upon him. And having fought a | good fight; having spent the best of his days, and the prime of bis life in the cause of Christ, in contending manfully for the Faith once deliv- ered to the saints ; like the Prophet of old, set- ting out for the Mount of God, and sighing for rest from the strife of tongues ; he took his staff and came on a pilgrimage into this wilderness, ‘in 1751. An anecdote is related of him which tells us his mode of travelling. When passing through Virginia, at some house where he had spent the night, he enquired in the morning be. fore starting how his horse had fared during his stay. The landlady replied that she knew he had been well attended to, for she bad fed him with her own hands. But Mr. T. replied, “Do not tell me a falsehood, my good lady, that is all the horse I have,” pointing to his staff,— So he came out here on the very frontiers of civilized life, to erect the standard of the same principles of civil and religious liberty, that he advocated in his book on Church Government. It is supposed that he came out at the invita- tion of Moses Winstow, Georce Davipson and others in the vicinity of Centre, who had known him in Pennsylvania. Whether he brought his family when he first came, or whether he came expecting to remain, is not known; but from the notice we have of him in Mr. Foote’s Sketches, page 213, proba- bly he did not, but either went back or sent for them. He did not live long after he came, for his death is reported to Synod, in 1753. | Jt would appear that his wife had died pre- viously ; he had no sons that we hear of, but three daughters. “Two of these were married probably, before he came South ; and one was | never married. Perhaps his daughters and _sons-in.law had come to this region before him. One daughter, name not known, married Rocer | Lawson, and removed to Georgia ; the ances- | tors of Rocer Lawson GAMBLE of that State. Another married a man by the name of Baker, who settled about two miles west of Kerr’s Tav- ern, on the road from Salisbury to Beatie’s Ford. Here old Mr. T. made his home. But as Ba- KER was not a man of such habits as to be al- ways agreeable in the family, the old man had a cabin built in the woods, a little back from the road, where he spent his time. | best and soundest in the faith. ite ie agin aI dy fr no an bow peseteahp tbl apt of his grave to’ this day. It was, however, the beginning of what is called } Tegion : around the grave of the mas < otbere wished to be laid in death. There. found on monuments the names of the ebief fa- milies of seiilers, there : has 2 ae Brevarp, Coxnorn, McConn Lx, « Givens, Wurtz, Lawsox, &c, ; 4 The place of the first grave can only be ar- rived at by inference. Some very old graves are marked; as that of Samug. Witson, 1778. Some that appear still older, are those of Hucn Lawson, brother of Rocer L., and of Moszs Wuire. One is a little east of the centre, and the other a little weet. An old grave between them may be that of the veteran soldier of the Cross, and the pioneer of the Gospel, in Wes- tern Carolina. If he had a family when he came from Ire- land, in 1715, he might have had daughters at least 36 years old, and with families, when he came here, in 1751. His daughter that mar- ried a Baxer, had a family of five children ; and her husband died soon after her ftather.— She could not have remained long a widow, for she married, for a second husband, CHaRrLes Haragis, of Cabarrus, and had two sons: the eldest, SAMUEL, was at one time, a teacher in the Clio School, in Iredell : from there he went to Princeton, where he died, acting as a Tutor in the College. The second son, was the late Dr. Cuartes Harris, of Cabarrus, who was born in 1762. Her last husband died July 4th, 1776, and she a few weeks afterwards. It may seem strange, at first view, that a man of so much worth and eminence, should have passed away and have been forgotten. That his grave should have been unknown to this day. McAppen, another Missionary, who passed in the immediate vicinity of it, in 1755, and who has lefi a journal of his tour, never al- Judes to it. ‘This was only two years after Mr. Tuompson’s death. But almost all the subsequent Missionaries in this quarter, were of the new side, while he was the leader of the old. He died soon afier he came here, and probably had few personal friends near :— it was a new country, the.population sparse : other things took up attention : obituary notices were not so common then as now; and much fewer papers and printing presses. ‘The trou- bles of the Indian and FrenchWar soon came on, and made great distress throughout the land ; and soon after that, the important events of the Revolutionary War. ‘Then, after the union again of the two Synods, in 1758, all that would (end to irritate on either side, would probably be avoided. But he deserves more than a passing notice, even at this day, when the asperity of religious controversy are passed away. With the mea- gre information we possess, we cannot do him justice ; and we hope an abler pen will take up the subject. ~ Born by the side of Lake Dery orthe Foyle, he closed his eyes on the banks of the Cataw- ba: an ocean rolls between his cradle and his grave, the emblem of bis troubled life. Ireland gave him birth ; Iredell, a grave ; Je- rusalem above, a home. : ANTIQUAS. : The Locofoco Stute Convention of Ohio has nominated Gen.

Kirkland, Author of “ A New Home,” “ Forest Life,” &c., and filled with Contributions from the most eminent writers of the Country. The second volume commences with the January Num- ber, 1848. Ar the conclusion of the first half-year of the Union Macazine, the publisher feels impelled to make some ac- knowledgement of his sense of the favorable reception ac- corded to it by the public. Its success has certainly been unprecedented ; and while it may be pardonable to as- cribe this in part to the merits of the work, it must not be denied that public good-will and kindness have been a- bundantly demonstrated. The press, in all parts of the country‘ have given its voice liberally and heartily in fa- vor of the new aspirant. To flag after this, would be dishonorable indeed. It is the hope of the publisher that the courage and enterprise which belong to success will be found rather to have stim- ulated than slackened his exertious. If there be talent of a euitable kind in the country, he is determined to make it available to the Union Magazine in the various departments. He will continue to give superior engrav- ngs in Mezzotint, Line and Wood by H.S. Sadd, Thomas Doney, M. Osborne, Rob’t Henshelwood, W. S. Barnard, B. F. Childs, P. Loomis, &c., from original designs by T. Matteson, who has the sole direction of all the designs for the engravings. The Literary matter will continue to be under the exclu- sive control of the Editor, Mrs. C. M. Kirkland, assisted by a corps of contributors who are either established favo- rites of the reading public or worthy to become so. Such as Mrs. L. Maria Child, Mrs. L. H. Sigourney, Mrs. F. S. Osgood, Mrs. E. C. Embury, Mrs. E. F. Ellet, Mrs. C. H. Butler, Mrs. C. M. Stark, Mrs. E. Little, Mrs. S. H. Whitman, Mrs. Mary S. B. Dana, Mrs. Jane C. Camp- bell, Miss C. M.

There will be two pages original Music in each No. In the the coarse of about as many months will be given fac-similies of the characters used in writing fourteen dif- ferent languages. with a short translation into English similar to the Chinese and Persian Odes in the Novem- ber and December numbers of the Magazine, by Caleb Lyon, U.S. Consul to Shang-hai, China, which to the curious and intelligent will be worth at least a year’s subscription to the Magazine. And every exertion will be made, which literary ability, ingenuity of Artists, and ‘adequate capital can do, to make the Union Magazine worthy of the place already so generously granted it in the public esteem. The Union Magazine wi!] be published regularly on the first of each month. Dealers in Periodicals throughout the United States and the Canadas, who wish to become agents fcr the Union Magazine, will please apply to the publisher im- mediately.

Whene’er thy azure book expands, He saes in sterry letlers bright, The work of thy eternal hands, Great Sovereign of eternal light. With Heaven's effalgent fype serene, The beauteous rainbow's cheering ray, Imprint upon his soul, the scene That opens in celestial day. And when his earthly mouldering form Is locked in death’s cold icy chase, Oh! save his spirit from the storm That hurls the victim from thy face. And when the last great trump shall sound, And bid the slumbering dust arise, May he be in the columns found, That form the poges of the skies. prey with tyrannical cruelty. It is said to be of service to the planter in destrey- ing grubs and insects, upon which it sei- zes in the manner of @ hawk. ‘It first strikes its prey with its bill (tike a dun) and then grasps it in its claws so instan- taneously afterwards, that the most acute observation alone can enable one to de- cide on the priority of the action. Its bill is of moderate length (unlike a tailor’s) | compressed and sharp. Its head is black and all its body white, save the outer fea- thers of the wings and tail, which are black. This family of * Tyrants,” of which the butcher bird is an influential member, has very extensive connections ; but as they are distinguished neither for beauty nor behaviour ( handsome 1s that handsome does”) and can be very easily “ got round,” no great consequence is at- tached to their possession. ‘The next most numerous tribe is one whose habits and characteristics are widely dissimlar —the Parrots. ‘I’hese exhibit plumage of the most diversified hues ; but the predominating is bright green. ‘This is often set off and con- trasted by black, lilac, pink, orange, violet and blue. It is impossible to tell how many species have been discovered; for our traveller refers the specimen which be has obtained to some former description, and then points out the dif. ferences. ‘ This,” says one, “is the blue par- rot: our specimens, however, are bright lilac, with red spots on the back, between the wings” —a remark which, were it made by a native of the Emerald Isle, would be called a bull: but the fact, nevertheless, may be as true as the somewhat notorious one that “ blackberries are red when they are green.” The parrots are of all sizes from the macaw or ava, down to the smallest paroket. ‘The common green parrot, which is known in the United States, and taught to speak, is of the me- dium size. The best and clearest whistle is uttered by the homely brown parrot, which is brought from Africa. It ia likewise the most docile. These birds resemble humanity in oth- er respects besides the faculty of speech ; some STANZAS. There is an hour of peaceful rest, To weary wanderers given ; There is a tear for souls disiress'd, A balm for every wounded breast— *Tis found above in Heaven. There is a soft, a downy bed, “Tis fair as breath of even ; A couch for weary mortals spread, Where they may rest the aching head, And find repose—in Heaven. There, Faith lifts up the tearful eye, The heart with anguish riven ; And views the tempest passing by, The evening shadows quickly fly, And ail’s serene in Heaven. <A TCS TROPICAL BIRDS. BY PARK BENJAMIN. Beautiful are the Birds of the Tropics. Bright, clear, sparkling, brilliant is their plumage. It is steeped in “all the hues that gild the rainbow.” J seek in vain for epithets by which to convey a thought of their surpassing beauty. Had I, dear reader, the pencil of Audubon, I might show you what they are in repose; does not display their lovliness in its perfection. They are most charming to behold when in motion—when their many vivid colors contrast with the deep green of the for- ests, in which they live and hold their jo- cund revels. Not many years ago, I passed a win- ter—or, | might better say, the first months of the year—in the northern part of South America, where these birds abound.— ‘The largest kind isthe macaw.

It appearsto me that our American periodicals have too much of the dulce and too little of the utile. sometimes, to mingle the useful with the agreeable even in works of taste: I may fail in my attempt to do so in this place, but I shall at least deserve the credit of having made the attempt. Doubtless many of my readers have in their possession certain glass cases in which specimens of birds with variegated plumage, having undergone the art of the toxidermist, are arranged on artificial trees or bushes as ornaments for the draw- ing room. There are many persons in Guiana, who make it their business to kill and prepare these birds, so that they may adorn the halls of Natural History ieties or private cabinets. Some birds, which fly about the houses or plantations, are easily obtained ; but those, upon which most value is set, live in distant wilds and woods, and are procured with great diffi- culty and only by individuals long prac- tised in the art. Great caution must be observed in approaching, and greater skill in shooting them; for they must be slain. | known by the name of Cuarterers. I donot | know what they are called by the oinithologists; ! Wihea | but thus are they designated by the inhabitants, so skilfully that their feathers shall not be torn nor their color spoiled by an ef. fusion of blood from the wound. one, who is unskilful, tears or disfigures his birds, he makes up one specimen out of two or more individuals of the same species. Thus, upon a close examination ou may often detect the wings of one ird joined to the body of another, or, per- haps, an old head upon young shoulders. But the worst piece of trickery, and one which renders the specimen wholly val. ueless to an ornithologist, is the altering of the natural color of the bird by fire. I have seen many a brilliant specimen ex- eeedingly admired, which obtained a false lustre in this manner. There seems to be no limit to the won- derful varieties of these birds. Every day brings to view some new species, which outvies its compeers in the grace of its form and the brilliancy of its plumage,— The adventurous bird-seeker will pene- trate decper and deeper intothe solitudes | of those vast forests, which, in primitive grandeur, lift up their leafy columns and form umbrageous temples in the heart of tbe Southern continent. ‘Those lovely and still unexplored domains are the probable haunts of thousands and thousands of birds of dazzling beauty. ‘The clear beams of the sun. glinting through the leaves of mighty trees, play among colors, as vari- ods and as shilling as those of gems. No! human eye, save that of some Indian hun. | ter who may have lost his homeward way, has gazed upon these strange. bright crea- tures; andthe most fantastic imagination May vainly endeavor to paint those tribes the air which have lived in their safe retreats, undisturbed save by one another and the war of the elements, since light wned upon creation. Among the various little birds, black, wand red. which may he observed n the midst of the cugar Seige and inthe It is well, | | Indies, and, as you pass the residences of the | inhabitants, you often see three or four of these | ugly wretches clambering awkwardly up the | piazzas, and uttering their hoarse, scolding cries, ten times more grating to the ear than the ob- Jurations of a Xantippe, heard above the shrieks | of her castigated offspring. ‘The hardibood of these birds is surprising. There was one of them on board of a small vessel, in which it was my ill fortune to voyage from the mainland to island of Barbadoes. Mr. Macaw, like a mili- | tia major in red and blue uniform, would strut about on the lower rigging, and, as soon as he could get near enough to the ear of a sailor, | would utter one of his shrillest and most appal- ling yells. Jack ‘Tar, in his summary method | of dealing vengeance, would fetch hima blow with a handspike, that would send him flapping to the quarter-deck ; perhaps, with an utter dis- regard of decorum and discipline, into the very face and eyes of the surly old captain, who, in his rage, would beat him soundly ; yet would the stalwart feathered marine regard those lusty | strokes no more than would a pet goldfinch the | taps of his lady’s fan, | Some species of parrots exist in almost eve- ry region; the smallest and most beautiful, how- | ever, are found only in tropical countries. They are seldom seen near thickly populated places, | but can be procured with facility in the woods , adjacent, where they live in tolerable fellowship | with their mischievous neighbors, the monkeys. | Another numerous tribe of tropical birds is from the peculiar sounds which they utter, (be- ing not unlike those of a congress of spinsters, sitting in committee of the whole on some grand question of scandal.) ‘They are distinguished by the epithets,—red-breasted, purple-throated firebirds, pumpadore, red-headed, goid- headed, white-throated, white-capped, purple-shoulder. ed, and Mahometan. The first we migrate; the last five stay athome. Of the former, the fire bird is so named {rum the fact that, in stuffed specimens, the color is sometimes changed by the application of fire. Its natural hue is a dark crimson, but it is susceptible of being changed, hy the application of heat, into a rich vermill. ion. Of the latter, the purple-shouldered is the | Most rare and the most beautiful. The upper | parts of its wings or shoulders are the deepest | Purple ; the remainder of the wings is inter. | Spersed with blue, and they end in black. Its back is blue, and the lower partof its neck isa | dark crimson. I describe the male bird only ; | for (uulike bipeds without feathers) it_ monopo- | lizes the beauty of the species. ‘he female is | very plain, though there seems to be a certain | winning modesty about her, for all her homely | looks. The sumptuously attired male, (“‘Solo- mon in all his glory, was not arrayed like one | of these,”’) if his choice of a partner were left to himself—which I doubt—must- have been | guided by a taste as unsophisticated as that of | the praiseworthy Cock.-Robin, when he courted Jenny Wren, who . “ Always wore her old brown gown, And never dressed so fine '” | While on the subject of homeliness, I may as Well conclude it by alluding toa bird, which, on | Account of bis hideousness, the negroes call “Old Witch.” What a very mortifying cir- cumstance it must be to be so ugly, when eve- ry body else is so bewitchingly fair! Don’t | you think so Miss Smith? (Ido not mean Miss Smith who is reading this article, but another.) Before passing to an aseount of the third and last family, which I shal] try to describe—being by far the most numerous, the strangest, and the , most chartning cf all the tropical birds—£: wil] "33 ; Deeldes a quantity of fine snaking tebcco.

Their | ftightis very rapid, andtheircry sharp and shrill. | They travel in pairs, frequenting the borders of rivers and deep marshes. That which is par- ticularly singular about the Jacana is the man- ner in which itis armed; when it strikes with its wings, it must do considerable execution ; it does not seem to be happily called the Sur. geon, for its instruments are rather intended to kiil than cure. The classical species is called by moderns, “the Sultana Hen.” It is the smallest of that genus, which was named by the ancients Por- phyry—in Latin Porphyrio. Aristotle de- | scribes it as a fissiped bird, with long feet, a | blue plumage, with a very strongly set, purple. | colored bill, and of about the size of a domes- tic cock. Some old writers, in desribing this bird, have said that one of its feet was furnish- _ed with membrances, and made to swim like /a water-bird’s, and that the other was fissiped | so that it might run like a land-bird. This is not only untrue, but contrary to nature, and sig- /nafies no more than that the porphyry or peli- can is a bird of the shore, living on the con. tines of land and water. It was easily tamed, and was very pleasing on account of its noble carriage, its fine form, its plumage brilliant and _tich in colors of mingled blue and purple and | aquamarine, its docile nature, and its happy fa- cility of agreeing with any companions among | whom its lot might be cast. It was held in the highest esteem by both Greeks and Romans; ness, and placed it in their palaces and temples bieness of its port, the sweetness of its temper and the beauty of ils plumage. ‘The largest , hen,” is precisely the same as the ancient por- _phyrio. The smallest is called “the little sul- tana hen.” Her petite majesty is very queen- ily, but is, no doubt, as well satisfied with the modern name by which she is dignified, as she | would be with that which the Greeks gave to ‘the tall highness of her very old and royal fami- \ly. Her robe ofstate is a brilliant changeable { . blue and green; and it has never gone out of fashion. | Lamentable Accident.—Mr. James L. | Tyser, son of Jordan Tyser, Esq., of this county, was accidentally shot Christmas morning, and died instantly, in the pre- sence of his parents and a large circle of friends who had met at his father’s resi- }dence. The circumstances were the most |trying I had ever witnessed. Breakfast was just over, and half a dozen young men had taken their guns and started out on a hunt. They had not proceeded more than a hundred and fifty yards from the house, when a gun in the hands of one of his associates accidentally fired and _ kill- ed him on the spot.— Pittsboro’ Com’tor.

SALISBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, JAN hands by occupying defensively, with our military force, a portion: of the Mexican territory, which we might deem ample for indemnity : and, in the next, because | believed that it was the only way we could avoid the great danger to our in- stitutions against which these resolutions are intended to guard. The President took a different view. He recommended a vigorous prosecution of the war—not for conquest—that was emphatically dis- avowed—bat for the purpose of conquer- ing peace—that is, to eompel Mexico to sign a treaty ceding sufficient territory to indemnity to claims of our citizens and of the country for the expenses of the war. I could not approve of this policy. I opposed it, among other reasons, be- cause I believed there was no certainty that the object intended to be effected would be accomplished. let the war be ever so successful. Congress thought dif- ferently, and granted simple provisions, in men and money, for carrying out the poli- cy recommended by the President. It has vow been fully tested under the most fa- vorable circumstances. It has been as successful as the most sanguine hope of the Executive could have anticipated.— Victory after victory followed in rapid succession, without a single reverse.— Santa Anna repelled and defeated with all his forces at Buena Vista—Vera Cruz, with its castle, captured—the heights of Cerro Gorda triumphantly carried—Ja- lappa, Perote, and Puebla occupied—and after many triumphant victories under the walls of Mexico, its gates opened to us, and put us in possession of the Capital. But what has all these splendid achievments accomplished? Has the avowed object of the war been attained ? Have we con- quered peace? Have we compelled Mex- ico to sign a treaty? Have we obtained indemnity? No. Not a single object con- templated by the campaign has been ef: fected; and what is worse, our difficul- ties are greater now than they were at the commencement, and the objects sought more difficult to be accomplished. To what is this complete failure to be attri- buted? Not to our army. . It has done all that skill and gallantry could accom- plish. It is to be attributed to the policy pursued. The Hxecutive aimed at in- demnity in a wrong-way. Instead of ta- king it into our own hands, when we had territory in our possession, ample to cover the claims of our citizens and the expen- ses of the war, he sought it indirectly through a treaty with Mexico. He thus put it out of our own power, and under the control of Mexico, to say whether we should have indemnity or not, and there- by enabled her to defeat the whole object of the campaign by simply refusing to treat with us. Owing to this mistaken policy, after a most successful and_brill- iant campaign, involving an expenditure not less, probably, than forty millions of dollars, and the sacrifice, by the sword and hy disease, of many valuable lives, pro- bably not less than six or seven thousand, nothing is left but the glory which our ar- my has acquired. But as an apology for all this, it is in- rifice as the campaign itself. The Presi- dent and the Secretary of War have as- signed many reasons for entertaining this with deference, they are, to my mind, utterly fallacious ; and to satisfy your minds that such is the case, I will place the subject in a single point of view. The line proposed by me, to which [ Suppose their reasons were intended to be applied, would be covered in its whole ex. tent, from the Pacific ocean to the Passo del Norte, on the Rio Grande, by the Galf of California and the wilderness peopled by hostile tribes of Indians, through which no Mexican force could penetrate. For its entire occupancy and defence, nothing would be required but a few small ves- sels of war stationed in the Gulf, and a single regiment to keep down any resist- ance from the few inhabitants within.— From the Passo del Norte to the mouth of the river, a distance of a few hundred miles, a single fact will show what little force will be necessary to its defence. It was a frontier between Texas and Mexi- co, when the former had but an inconsid- erable population—not more than an hun- dred and fifty thousand at the utmost, at any time—with no standing army, and but. very few irregular troops; yet for several years she maintained this line without any, except slight occasional in- trasion from Mexico, and that too when Mexico was far more consolidated in her power, and when revolutions were not so frequent, and her money resources were far greater than at present. If, then, Tex- as alone, under such circumstances, could defend that frontier for so long a period, can any man believe that now, when she is backed by the whole of the United States, now that Mexico is exhausted, de- feated, and prostrated—I repeat, can any man believe that it would involve asgreat | a sacrifice to us of men and money, to de- fend that frontier, as did the last cam- ign? No. I hazard nothing in assert- | ay thet, to defend it for an indefinite pe- | riod, would have required a less sum than the interest on the money spent in the cnet. " and fewer men than were sac- ri in carrying it on. So much for the past. We now come to the commencement of another cam- paign, and the question recurs, what shall be done? The President, in his message, recommends the same line of policy—a vigorous prosecution of the war—not for conquest, that is a avowed and for the claims of I have examined, withcare, the grounds on which the President renews his recom- mendation, and am again compelled to dissent. There are many and powerful reasons, more so, even, than those that existed at the commencement of the last campaign, to justify my dissent. The sacrifice in money will be vastly greater. There is a bill for ten additional regiments now before the Senate, and another for. twenty regiments of volunteers has been reported, authorizing in all the raising of an additional force of something upwards | of thirty thousand. This, in addition to that already authorized by law, will be | sufficient to keep an effective army in| Mexico, of not much, if any, less than se- venty thousand men, and will raise the { less than sixty millions of dollars. To meet so large an expenditure, would | involve, in the present and prospective | condition of the money market, it is to be | apprehended, not a little embarrassment. Last year money was abundant, and easi- ly obtained. An unfortunate famine in Europe created a great demand for our | agricultural products. That turned the | balance of trade greatly in our favor, and specie poured into the country with a Strong and steady current. No consider- able portion of it passed into the Treasury, through the duties, which kept it fall, in| in spite of the large sums remitted to meet the expenses of the war. The case is dif- ferent now. Instead of having a tide flow- | ing in, equal to the drain flowing out, the | drain is now both ways. The exchanges | now are against us, instead of being in our | favor, and instead of specie flowing into | the country from abroad, it is flowing out. | In the mean time the price of stocks and | Treasury notes, instead of being at or a-. bove par, have both fallen below, to a small extent. The effects of the depreci- ation of Treasury notes will cause them to pass into the Treasury in payment of the customs and other dues to the Govern- | ment, as the cheaper currency, instead of | gold and silver; while the expenses of the ! war, whether paid for by the transmission | of gold and silver direct to Mexico, or by drafts drawn in favor of British merchants or other capitalists there, will cause what-. ever specie may be in the vaults of the | Treasury to flow from it, either for remit-. tance direct on account of the ordinary | transactions of the country, or to pay the | drafts which may be drawn upon it, and which, when paid in the present state of exchanges, will be remitted abroad. But | this process of paying in Treasury notes |instead of gold and silver, and gold and | | hot continue long without exhausting its | specie, and leaving nothing to meet the | { public expenditures, including those of the | war, but Treasury notes. Can they under | |such circumstances preserve even their Present value? Is there not great danger that they will fall lower and finally involve the finances of the Gov- ernment and the circulation of the coun- try in the greatest embarrassment and difficulty 7 Is there not great danger, with this pros- pect before us, and with the necessity of raising by loans near forty millions, of a commercial and financial crisis—even | possibly a suspension by the banks? |. wish not to create panic ; but there i s} danger, which makes a great difference, | in a financial and moneyed point of view, | between the state of things now and at | the commencement of the last session.— Looking to the future, it is to be appre- | hended that not a little difficulty will have | to be encountered in raising money to'| meet the expenses of the next campaign, | if conducted on the large scale which is | proposed. Men you may raise, but mo- | ney will be found difficult to obtain. It | is even to be apprehended that loans wil! | have to be negotiated on very disadvan-| tageous terms for the public. In the pre- sent state of things, if they grow no worse, there can be no resort to Treasury notes. They cannot be materially increased with- out a ruinous depreciation ; and a resort | must be had exclusively, or almost entire- ! ly so, to borrowing. But, at the present: prices of stocks, to borrow so large a sam as will be necessary can only be done at a greatly increased rate of interest on the nominal amount of stock. In a recent | conversation with a gentleman well in- | formed on this subject. he said that, in his’ opinion. if forty millions are required, a loan could not be had for more than nine- ty for one bundred, which would be about at the rate of seven per cent. ‘ expenses of the campaign to probably not | defeat | would lower, and | lar governments may be | eas d | debt, and the heavier the burden iinposed upop in Mexico? I hold that the a- gorous prosecution | ain of being realiz- | en; and, if itsbhould | will leave our affairs or ion than they are at That object, as has been stated is to obtain ah honorable t treaty; one Which, to use the language of the Presi- { } | | 4 guaranty from the ico for its faithful execution. Now, Sen- | ators, I hold that, whether the war is suc- _ cessful or unsuccessful, there is not only | no certainty that this object will be ac- complished, but almost a certainty that it will not be. If the war be unsuccessful ; if our arms should be baffled, _as I trast _and believe they will not be ; butif, from _ any unfortunate accident, such should be the case, it is clear that we shall not be able to negotiate a treaty that will ac- | complish the object intended. On the con- _ trary, if the war should be successful, it | is almost equally certain that, in that case, the avowed object for prosecuting the war vigorously will not be accom. plished. I might take higher ground, and maintain that the more successful the war is prosecuted the more certainty the ob- Ject avowed to be accomplished will be ed, while the objects disavowed as certainly be accomplished. What is the object of a vigorous prose- cution of the war? How cessful? I can see b ing it so, and that is by suppressing all resistance on the part of Mexico; over- | powering and dispersing her army, and utterly over-throwing her Goveenment. But if that should be done; if a Vigorous Prosecution of the war should lead to that result, how are we to obtain an honora- ble peace? With whom shall we treat for indemnity for the past and security for the future ? party, but it requires two to make peace. If all authority is overthrown in Mexico, where will be the power to enter into ne- gotiation and make peace? Our very success would defeat the making peace. In that case, the war would not end in peace, but in conquest ; not in negotiation, but in subjugation ; and defeat, I repeat, the very object you aim to accomplish, and accomplish that which you disavow to be your intention, by destroying the separate existence of | Mexico, overthrowing her nationality, and blotting out her name from the list of na- tions, instead of Jeaving her a free repub- lic, which the President has so earnestly expressed his desire to do. If I understand his message correctly, ] | have his own authority for the conclusion to which I come. He takes very much the same view that I do as to how a war ought to be prosecuted vigoronsly, and what would be its results, with the differ | ence as to the latter resting on a single contingency, and a remote one. Ile says that the great difficulty of obtaining peace results from this, that the people of Mex- ico are divided under factious chieftains, and that the chief in power dare not make , peace, because for doing so he would be | displaced by a rival. He also says, that the only way to remedy this evil and to. obtain a treaty is to put down the whole of them, including the one in power as well as the others. | Are we to stop there?

Its a very difficult task to make a constitution worthy of being called so. This admirable federal constitution of ours is the re- sult of such a combination. It is superior to the wisdom of any or all of the men by whose agency it was made. ‘Ihe force of circumstan- cea, and not furesight of wisdom, induced them to adopt many of its wisest provisions.

Afier years of prosperity, the tenure by which it is held is but too often forgotten ; and. I fear, Senators, that such is the case with us. There is no solicitude now about liberty. — It was not so in the early days of the Republic. Then it was the first object of our solicitude.— The maxim then was, that “power is always stealing from the many to the few ;” “the price Then no the first inquiry was not ‘Is it constitutional ?” “is it consistent with our free popular institu. tions 7” “ how is it to affect our liberty?” Itis not so now. Questions of the greatest magni- tude are now discussed without reference or al- lusion to these vital considerations.

That error destroyed the social arrangement which formed the basis of their society. This error we have wholly escaped. The Brazil. jans, formerly a province of Portugal, have es- caped also a considerable extent; and they and we are the only people of this continent who have made revolutions without anarchy. And yet, with this example before them, and our uniform practice, there are those among us who talk ubout erecting these Mexicans into territo- tial governments, and placing them on an equality with the people of these States. I ut- terly protest against the project. It is a remarkable aaah this connexion, that, in the whole history of man, as far as my information extends, there is no instance what- ever of any civilized colored race of any shade, being found equal to the establishment and maintenance of free government, although hy far the largest proportion of the human family ig composed of them; and even in the savage except it be our noble savages; for noble | will call them for their many high qualities.— They for the most part had free institutions, but such institutions are much more easily sustained | among a savage thana civilized people. Are we to overlook this great fact? Are we lo associate with ourselves as equals, companions, and fel. low-citizens, the Indians and mixed races of Mex- ico? I wouldconsider such association as degra- ding to ourselves and fatal to our institutions, The next remaining reasons assigned, that it would be in conflict with the genius and char- acter of our Gevernment, and in the end, sub. versive of our free institutions, are intimately connected, and I shall consider them together. That it would be contrary to the genius and character of our Government, and subversive of our free popular institutions, to hold Mexico as a subject province, is a proposition too clear for argument before a body so enlightened as the Senate. You know the American Consti- tution too well, you have looked into history, and are too weil acquainted with the fatal ef. fects which large provincial possessions have ever had on the institutions of free States, to heed any proof to satisfy you how hostile it would be to the institutions of this country to hold Mexico as a subject province. There is not an example on record of any free State holding a province of the same extent and pop. | ulation without disastrous consequences. The nations conquered and heid as provinces have, $a time, retaliated by destroying the liberty of their conquerors, through the corrupting effect of extended patronage and irresponsible power. Such certainly would be our case. The con- quest of Mexico would add so vastly to the pat. ronage of the Government, that it would absorb the whole powers of the States: the Union would become an imperial powers, and the States reduced to mere subordinate corpora- tiong, But the evil would not end there ; the setae would go on, and the power transferred rom Executive. Ours is | the States to the Union would be trans. ferred from this Legislative department to the instead of a source of revenue ? On the contrary, our Government, in this | particular, is the very reverse of the British. Of all free Governments it bas the least capa- city, in proportion to the wealth and population of the country, to bear patronage. The ge- nius of the two, in this particlar, is precisely and other particulars. The cause of this dif- present occasion, It results from its federal _character and elective chief magistrate ; aud, | so far from the example of Great Britain con- | stituling a safe precedent for us to follow, the little she has gained from her numerous con- quests and vast provincial possessions, and the heavy burdens which it has imposed upon her _ people to meet the consequent expenses, ought _to be to us a warning never to be forgotten ; \ ture of our Government, we would be so liable to the other and greater evils from which she, _ from the nature of our Government, is in a great “measure exempted. Such and so weighty are | the objections to conquering Mexico, and hold- ing it as a subject-province. _ Nor are the reasons less weighty against in- 'corporating her into the Union. As faras law _is concerned, that is easily done. All] that is ' necessary is to establish a Territorial Govern- ment for the several States in Mexico, of which there are upwards of twenty; to appoint gov. _ernors, judges, and magistrates, and to give to the population a subordidate right of making laws, we defraying the cost of the Government. | So far as legislation goes, the work will be done ; | but there would be great difference between these Territorial Governments and those which | we have heretofore established within our own | limits. These are only the offsets of our own | people, or foreigners from the same countries | from which our ancestors came. ‘The first set- 'tlers in the Territories are too few in number to form and support a government of their own, and are under obligation to the United States ‘for forming one for them, and defraying the ex- pense of maintaining it—knowing, as they do, | that, when they have sufficient population, they / will be permitted to form a constitution for them. | selves, and be admitted as a member of the Union. During the period of their Territorial Government, no force is necessary to keep them in a state of subjection. The case will be en- tirely different with these Mexican Territories. When you form them, you must have powerful armies to hold them in subjection, with all the expenses incident to supporting them. reality, be but provinces under another name, | and would involve the country in all the dificul- condition. How long this state of things would | last before they would be fitted to be incorpora- | ted into the Union as States, we may form some | jdea from similar instances with which we are | familiar.

But now other topics oecupy the attention of Congress and of the country—military glory, extension of the empire, and the aggrandizement of the country. To what is this great change to be attributed ? Is it because there has been a decay of the spir- it of liberty among the people? I think not. I believe that it was never more ardent. true cause is, that we have ceased to remem- ber the tenure by which liberty alone can be preserved. Wehave so many years of pros- perity—passed through so many difficulties and dangers without the loss of liberty—-that we be- gin to think that we hold it by right Divine from Heaven itself. Under this impression, without thinking or reflecting, we plunge into war, con- tract heavy debts, increase vastly the patronage of the Executive, and indulge in every species of extravagance, without thinking that we expose our liberty to hazard. Itis a great and fatal mis- take. The day of retribution will come; and, when it does, awful will be the reckoning, and heavy the responsibility somewhere. I have now shown, Senators, that the con- quest of Mexico, and holding it as a subject-pro- vince, or incorporating it into our Union, is lia- ble to the many and irresistible objections as- signed in the first resolution. I have also shown that the policy recommended by the Pre- sident, if carried out, would terminate in all pro- bability in its conquest, and holding it either in one or the other mode stated ; and that such is the opinion of the President himself, unless in the mean time peace can be obtained. _Believ. ing, then, that this line of policy might lead to consequences so disastrous, it ought not, in my opinion, in the language of the second resolu. tion, to be adopted. ‘Thus thinking. I cannot give it my support. ‘Ihe question is then pre- sented, what should be done ? difficult question, and daily becoming more so. ties and dangers which I have already shown | would result from holding the country in that | to negotiation, a portion of the territory of Mex. | ico, which we deem ample to cover all proper | , who have used every effort in my power to prevent this war, might excuse myself from an. swering it, and leave it to those who have in. | curred greater responsibility in relation to it.— | Bat [ will not shrink from any responsibility ‘where the safety of the country or its institu- tions are at slake.

After the most mature reflection which I have been able to give tothe subject, Lam of opinion | now, and have been from the first, that the only one by which itcan be certainly guarded against, is to take the question of indemnity in our own hands—to occupy defensively, and hold subject claims upon her, and which will be best suited to us to acquire and least disadvantageous to | | her to lose.

But such was the urgency which was supposed then lo exist that no time was allowed to present or press these views upon the Senate. Such a course, besides the saving of an immense sac. rifice of men and money, and avoiding the many other evils to which the course adopted has al- ready subjected the country, would have effect. ually prevented our being entangled in the af. fairs of Mexico, from which we find it now so difficult to-extricate ourselves. ‘This congide- The | Itisa great and | My.

And yet the President, al- though he admitted that the King and his Min. their best efforts to obtain the necessary ap- | propriation, recommended the adoption of the | _measure to which I have alluded, and which _ would have been tantamount to war.

Why, then, to save yourselves from such a result, do you hesitate to adopt the course of policy I have suggested as the only certain means of preventing these and other evils, and the danger to which our institutions are exposed?

It would be , a noble sacrifice of individual pride to patriot- ism. Jn asserting that the only alternative is be- tween the policy recommended by the Presi- dent and the adoption of a defensivg position, I have put out of the question the policy of ta- king no territory.

It would seem so from the above, and that the assertion of the Standard a short time since, that all the | Democrats of the non-slaveholding States | would stand up manfully in favor of South- ern rights, is gratuitous, and what the Editor would have them do: not what they would do. The truth is, and we have all along asserted and maintained it, that both parties in the non-slaveholding States, Slavery, and cannot be depended upon.

At the conclusion of the first half-year of the Uniox MaeazinE, the publisher feels impelled to make some ac- knowledgement of his sense of the favorable reception ac- corded to it by the public. Its success has certainly been unprecedented ; and while it may be pardonable to as- cribe this in part to the merits of the work, it must not be denied that public good-will and kindness have been a- bundantly demonstrated. The press, in all parts of the country‘ have given its voice liberally and heartily in fa- vor of the new aspirant. To flag after this, would be dishonorable indeed.

The trees stands green and fresh in the. sunlight; the lowing of cattle rises through | the still atmosphere, and nature is lovely and tranquil, as if no sounds of grief were to disturb her repose. Amid this beauty and quietness Moses agssembbled the children of Israel for the | Jast time to take his farewell look, and ' leave his farewell blessing. He cast his | eye ovef the host, while a thousand con- | téitiding emotions struggled for the mas: | tery in his bosom. The past, with its. toijs and snfferings rose up before him,— and how could he part with his children murmuring and ungrateful though they had been, whom he had borne on his | brave heart for more than forty years? Self-collected and calm, he stood before them and gave them his last blesssing. He made fio complaints, never spoke of | his hardships in their behalf; made no} allusion to anguish in leaving them on the ee verge of Canaan, the object for which e had toiled so long. He did not even refer to his death. In the magnanimity | pf-bis great heart, forgetiul of himself, or | else not daring to trust his feelings in an | allusion to his fate, he closed his sublime | address in the following touching lan- | '" the legislature of Texas from two of ' guage i—* The eternal God is thy refuge, end utderneath are the everlasting arms; | and he shall thrust ou: ‘he enemy before thee; Israel then shall dwell in safety a- — Happy see thou O Israel, who is Ke unto thee, oh, people saved of the | Lord, the shield of iby ielp, and who is | the sword of thy excellency !” Noble | langoage—noble heart. Carried away n contemplation of his children’s hap- piness, he burst forth into exclamations | of joy in the moment of his deepest dis. | tress. But did not that manly voice fal. | ter, and that stern lip quiver as he advan- wed to bid them his last adieu? For a Morient me thinks the rising emotions checked his utterance. They had been Companions of his tuil—the objects of bis | deepest solicitude. A common suffering —8 common fate had bound them to him by a thousand ties. He lobked back on the desert; it was passed. Ile looked on Canaan: it was near. He i God alone knows. Was his last prayer for Isreal? his last words of the Crucified! From that lonely rock a shout goes up.— ‘© Ob! Death, where is thy sting? Oh! Grave, where is thy victory?” Of that last scene and its changes we know no- thing, but when it was over, Moses lay a corpse on the mountain top, and God bu- ried him. There he slept alone, and the mountain cloud which night hang round was his only shroud, and the thunder of the passing storm his only dirge. There | he slept, while centuries rolled by, his ‘grave unknown and Unvisited. until at _length he is seen standing on Mount Ta- bor, with Christ, in the Transfiguration. Over Jorpox AT LAST—IN CANAAN AT LAST. I will not speak here of the instruction this scene affords; but from the very sum- mit of his sorrows, where he had gone to die, Moses, for the first time in his life, caught a view of Canaan. He did not | know as he went over the rocks, torn and weary, how lovely the prospect was from the top. In this world it frequently hap- pens that when man has reached the place of anguish, God folds away the mist | from before his eyes, and the very spot he selected as the receptacle of his tears, becomes the place of his highest rapture. For thirty days did the Israelites mourn at the base of that mountain over their | departed leader, and then mourntully | struck their tents and moved away.— Consecrated by the death of Moses—re- | | ceiving his last prayer and last sigh, Mount | Pisgah stood the First SACRED MOUNTAIN On | the earth. | | A WING IN TEXAS.

If he peace government should agree to pay and gbsist their protectors, they must, from the na- weofthings, tail to doeither. Pray, save us be disgrace of atlempling such an intervention. fhe attempt might Jead to an intervention of a ecessful.

IT speak with the authori- ty of a perfect knowledge of the nature of the tountry and the character of the people. Iwas glad to find that the Secretary rejects plan of overrunning the whole country, as fo expensive ; but I was surprised to perceive at he only estimates the number of men it Would require to do this, or to maintain our Preent conquests, at seventy thousand men for the frst, and some thirty-five or forty thousand bribe second.

The act of one nation cannot alone constitute a war; it, is like the act of an individual striking a blow, if it be not resented, no contest, no battle, no fight is the result. The blow is an act of aggression; it is av. act com- mencing a contest, but it does not amount to aperfect contest. Whether this acton the part of the President was an act of war, of hostility, aggresion, depends not at all upon the question, whether we had aright to the territory of which he took | forciblé possession. ~ War, between na- tions, pre-supposes a contest about rights. Ihe publicists, who speak of contests be- _ tween nations, never suppose them to con- tend except about rights. War isa contest about rights. tween nations about rights, carried on by force and not by argument.

Jf. sir, the yeas and nays had not heen ordered upon the passage of this bill, I might have been content to permit the measure to pass, as far as lam concerned, without offering a single word to the Se- nate upon its intrinsic merits. But the yeas and nays have been ordered upon this bill.

Sir, I shall endeavor | to assign those views and principles in as_ short a compass as is consistent with a | full exposition of what I believe to be the 'truth on this all important subject, and which every consideration obliges me to put before those whom I represent, with- out any unnecessary diminuation, without leaving out any thing that may be requir- ed in a full and complete expression of the argument which, in my mind, is con- clusive in regard to the measure before body and throughout the country, whom I know to be arrayed against me.

I shall not go as far back, sir, as an honorable Senator from Maryland did a few days ago, (I mean the honorable Senator from that State who first address- ed the Senate upon this bill.) but, never- theless, I shall be under the necesssity of going a little back for the purpose of ma- king myself fully understood. First, then, I will lay it down, and en- deavor to demonstrate, that the war in which we are now engaged with Mexico, was the immediate result of the unlawful and unconstitutional act of the President I suppose, sir, that | there is no gentleman on this floor or else- ‘where, who supposes or believes that the President of the United States is vested with the war power of this country.

I shall offer my own opinions, sir, | with entire respect. and even deferential | consideration, to the great minds of this) I maintain then, Mr. President, that when the President of the United States moved the troops under Gen. Taylor to the Rio Grande and took possession of the | left bank of that stream, he committed a What is war? What do all the writers on the law of nations tell us it is? They all, in substance, define it to be a contest about rights which is carried on or maintained, It can, any movement to dispossess Mexico, to | occupy what she thus occupied and what Mr. BADGER said: If I believed, sir, | that the duty which I owe to the country | she claimed to be her own, is an act of war. It is an act of war just and right- ful if territory be ours—just and rightful if the territory be unjustly and improperly withheld—just and rightful, if, also the act of war be directed by those who repre- sent the sovereignty of the nation. Well. sir, this act was committed by the Presi- dent of the United States. He ordered the troops to the Rio Grande. They ad- vanced. When they came into the Mex- ican settlement, the inhabitants fled be- fore them in dismay; the officers aban- doned the public buildings and set fire to them, and under such circumstances, our forces under the command of officers of the United States, took from Mexico that which she was in possession of, and by force kept possession of the territory and placed it under the jurisdiction of the U. States. Now, sir, on this subject I had the hon- or at the last session to bring to theatten- tion of the Senate, the case of the action of Mr. Jefferson, during his administra- tion of this government, under circum- stances of a very similar character, with this difference, that the title of the terri- tory withheld from us was truly and clear- ly ours. In every other respect the case was like this. The territory was with- held by another power, and a disposition manifested by that power to deprive us of what we held. Under these circumstan- ces, Mr. Jefferson conceived that he /had no right to use the military forces of the country to obtain possession of that which was withheld from us. But, he states as a reason for referring the subject to the determination.of Congress, that matters relating to peace and war belong exclusively to Congress; and as this move- ment might change the relation of the two countries from peace to war, therefore, it belonged to Congress to determine whe- ther the movement should be made or not. | But, Mr. President, I have other autho- | rity. I certainly shall not say that it is “more respectable in itself, than the au- authority of Mr. Jefferson. I doubt very much whether with a large portion of the American people, and of the Senate, it would be thought quite equal to Mr. Jef- ferson’s. But upon this question, with re- spect to the President of the United States, the authority is conclusive and overpow- ering. It creates upon him, what law- yers call an estoppel, for ] am able to show sion—of war. Onthe 11th of July, 1845, the Secretary of the Navy writes a confi- dential communication to Com. Conner, | an officer in the U.S. service, then in the Gulf of Mexico. He Says: “The unanimous vote of the Texan Congress for annexation leaves no doubt of the consummation of that measure.— When you ascertain, couniry—to part of it. one ot. its sons, 4 world to the policy freedom, and of un freedom. this great ev without thee the exercise of institutions, int all that can be desired.” therefore, admit of no question, that when a nation claiming certain rights, which sir, for the parpose of Me Public war is a contest be- | | have to this very.moment, all that was done in pursuance of that order, ae been ba | nize resi ; having been that the President of the United States’ nized by the President as g has himself recognized that such an act as this is an act of hostility—of aggres- | acco | mxec | were given. satisfactorily, that the Texan convention, which assembled on the 4th, has also acceded to annexation, you will regard Texas as a part of your be defended like any other the attention of the Senate to the fact, that though this paper was written on the 11th of July—some months prior to the actual consummation of the act of annex- ation—yet the instructions to which | pro- pose to call the attention of the Senate, are given prospectively—cautioasly—and with a view to the actual completion of that measere, when, as appears from the instructions themselves, the officer to whom they were directed was required to | consider Texas as @ part of this country. | “To secure this end most effectually, — and to be passed upon only by Congress. The Constitution has undergone nochange, the people have made no amendment to it. It stands now as it stood in the time of Mr. Jefferson. Whence, then, has Mr. Polk derived his authority to precipiteie measures Which must lead directly to war —Congress being in session, and without even deigning to inform them of what he proposed todo? But, sir, at all events there is not the slightest reason to doubt, as 1 apprehend, that the movement of the troops to the Rio Grande was the act which produced war. There had been, you are charged to commit no act of ag- gression ; and, at the same time, you are | invested with the command of a force suf. | ficient to take from others a disposition to hostile acts.” Then after enumerating the forces at the officer’s command, the Secretary says: that while the annexation of Texas ex- | President reserves the vindication of our | boundary, if possible, tg methods of peace. You will, therefore, not employ force to | dislodge Mexican troops from any post | east of the Del Norte which was in the | actual possession of the Mexicans at the | time of annexation.” | “Should Mexico declare war, you will | at once dislodge her ‘troops from any post , she may have east of the meuth of the, Del Norte: take possession of Tampico; | and if your force is sufficient, will take the castle of San Juan d’Ulloa, it being the determination of the President to pre- serve peace, if possible, and, if war comes, to recover peace by adopting the most prompt and energetic measures.” Again, sir, the Secretary of War writes to General Taylor under date of July 8, 1845: “Sir. This department is informed that Mexico has some military establishments on the east side of the Rio Grande, which | are, and for some time have been, in the actual occupancy of her troops. In car- rying out the instructions heretofore re- ceived, you will be careful to avoid any acts of aggression unless an actual state of war should exist. The Mexican forces | at the posts in their possession, and which | have been so, will not be disturbed as long | as the relations of peace between the U. | tions that may exist, for so far as it may | In performing this | duty it would be wise and prudent to con. | tinue in their employment all such of the | existing officers as are known to be friend- | | { Now, sir, here we have from the repre- | sentatives of the President in the two De- | partments, War and Navy, a clear and | distinet recognition of this proposition, | that, although the President held that our true boundary was the Del Norte, yet that | it would be an act of aggression, a hostile | act, an act which would not be justifiable | except in a state of war, to dispossess Mex- | ico from any portion of that territory—as | she held the possession at the time of the annexation. When, therefore, orders were issued to General Taylor, on the 13th of January, 46, which directed him to ad- vance and occupy a position on the leit bank of the Rio Grande. the President or- , dered what he then, undoubtedly, under- | stood to be an act. of war. He ordered what he intended, and what he supposed would be regarded on the part of Mexico, as an act of hostility. For, sir, you will observe, that when General Taylor, in the execution of this order, advanced to the Rio Grande, and drove the Mexicans from their possessions—when he occupied what had before been occupied by the Mexi- | cans—and the inhabitants were flying be- States and Mexico continue.” into a war, which, by a prudent regard to those orders, might been avoided.

It wasanactthe tendency of which was to change the relations of Mexico and this country from a state of peace to a state of war. Can there be any doubt of this sir?

That move- ment was an act of war. «It was at all events, an act tending to-change the rela- war; and an act which the President could not lawfully or constitutionally per- form. , The next proposition which I lay down is, that this war thus resulting from an act of the President, has been prosecuted by him from the commencement with a view tothe conquest—the permanent con- quest—of at least New Mexico and Up- per and Lower California. I beg the at- tention of the Senate while I shall at- tempt to demonstrate this proposition from public documents. First, sir, 1 will call | the attention of the Senate tothe instruc- tions given by the Segretary of War on the 3d of June, ’46, to Gen. Kearney : “Should you conquer and take posses- sion of New Mexico and Upper Calilor- nia, or considerable places in either, you | will establish temporary civil governments therein—abolishing all arbitrary restric- be done with safety. ly to the United States, and will take the }oath of allegiance to them. The duties | at the custom houses ought, at once, to be | reduced to such a rate as may be barely | sufficient to maintain the necessary offi- cers Without yielding any revenue to the government. You may assure the people of those provinces that it is the wish and design of the U. States to provide for them 'a free government, with the least possible delay, similar to that which exist in our Territories. They will then be called on ing their own representatives to the terri- torial legislature. It is foreseen that what relates to the civil government will be a difficult and unpleasant part of your duty, and much must necessarily be left to your | own discretion.” In further proof of this, sir, ] read the instruction given by the Navy Depart- ment to Com. Sloat, 12th July, 1846. « The object of the U.

He says: : “Henceforward California will Bé @ portion of the United States and its able inhabitants will enjoy the same and privileges they now enjoy. t with the privilege of chosing their oWn magistrates and other officers, for admitn® istration of justice among themselves, afd the same protection will be extended té them as to any other State in the Union. They will also enjoy a permanent govern ment.” Again Commodore Stockton says: “The Territory of California now belongs to the U. S., and will be governed, as ‘800m as circumstances will permit by officets and laws similar to those by which dié other Territories of the United States até regulated and protected. , Now, sir, it is imposible, I think, to read what was done—what was reported by our officers to the President as haying been done by them—without seeing that they understood and acted on his instrue- tions, as designed to make a permanent conquest of such portions of Mexican ter- ritory as they were instructed to take pps- session of. There is not one word said *,2 és | in the instructions—nothing declared in the actions of the officers obeying those instructions—which referred or appeared to refer to a military occupation of those to exercise the rights of freemen in elect- | territories, for the purpose of compelling Mexico to do us justice for the wrongs we had sustained at her hands. These officers clearly understood that they were to take possession of, and hold, those ter ritories as a portion of the United States, What says Commodore 8 ockton: “], Robert F. Stockton, commander-in- i chiet of the U. S. forces in the Pacifie o- 'cean, and governor of the Territory of California, and Commander-in chief of the army of the same, do hereby make known to all inen, that having by right of con- quest taken possession of that territory known by the name of Upper and Lower California, do now declare it to be a Ter- ritory of the U. States under the name of the ‘Territory of California.’ They took possession. They organized pects as if from that time forward these territories ceased to be the property of Mexico, and became the property of the Well, now did they understand theie instrnetion right?) Why, sir. in the Mes- sage of the President of the United States, communicating those documents to as, there is something said which implies’a | disavowal of what was done, an intima. tion that in some respects the instructions had been exceeded. “These docaments,” It appears then, ae the statement of President of the U.S. and the Roport. of the Secretary of War, that the organic Jaw established by General Kearney for*the | government of the territory of New Mex- its late arrival—late ico, in consequence of Well, now’ ; which is che only one of the documents of known by the proper department and coni- -municated to the President and approve and sanctioned by him.

And farther, leven in reference to General Kea taken to prescribe the form of a px | nent territorial government. No | x be e # ernment. And, in his general orders, is- | a me ee DBPL LE wn was taken by the President to Gen. es beter agn bey BE of the 24th Au- declaring his intention to hold New “as a part of the United States, eAhone to his requiring all the inhabitants to’return to their homes on pain of being sgnsidered traitors, and subject sehiad Per ishment, and their property prod Sile--dode to his intention of pro- ronal pic lial for New Morice rritorial legislature——none to Sette in the Bak of the United States the inhabitants of that country from their e to the Republic of Mexico— and finally, none to his claiming all per- sons residing within that territory as citl- zens.of the United States, and denoancing the doom of traitors against all of them who should be found in arms against us. To nothing that was done, by either Com- modore Sloat or Commodore Stockton, in to these mattcrs is any exception taken ; yet, Commodore Sloat proclaimed to-the inhabitants of California—as ear- lyas July, 1846—that thenceforward, Cal- ifornia would be a portion of the United States, and would enjoy a permanent gov- sued July 7th, he says to the troops who | were about to be Janded on the coast. | that it was their duty not only to take | California, but to preserve it afterwards | as a part of the United States at all haz- ards, And Commodore Stockton by his | amation makes known to all men. | that he has by right of conquest taken possession of the territory known as Up- per and Lower California, and declares it to be the territory of the United States : under the name of the territory of Calfor- nia. And Again, on the 17th August, he declares that the territory of California now belongs to the United States, and will be governed, as soon as circumstan- ces permit, by officers and laws similar to those by which other territories of the United States are regulated and govern- ed. Here, then, we see officers acting un- der the authority of the President, with- out rebuke from him, claiming and estab- lishing civil goverements in Mexico and California, as the permanent territories of the United States ; claiming their inbabi- tants as our citizens, promising them a ent form of a government, and denouncing them as traitors if they should up arms against the United States. What is this but conquest? What is it but seizure and permanent annexation by force of arms? This, then sir, I presume the President designed to do at the very time when he called upon the country for @ recognition of this war, and placing at his disposal means of men and money to prosecute it, No intimation is given to usin any of his correspondence—if he did net then entertain the design—-at what time the change took place in the Presi- dential] mind. In June, July and August, from the Navy and the War Departments to all officers charged with carrying into execution the wishes of the President in the prosecution of the war—we have the same general tone of instructions. secure | these territories, and see we have all these officers seizing the territories and treating them asa permanent part of the United States, And to these proceedings the President takes na exception! He does not jntimate, by the slightest breath of disapprobation, that the zeal of these commanders has excecded the purposes of the Executive ! I must suppose then, sir, that this was the object for which the President prase- cuted the war from the begining, and that indemnity was not the purpose for which he carried on the war.—Why, sir, is it nat a single mode of securing indemnity | if such had been his purpose. At the commencement of the war, what did he want indemnity for? owed to our citizens maney. ject had been to seize the Mexican terri- tory and simply to hold it by military oc- cupation in order ta campel Mexico to re- cognize and discharge her debts to us, why is nothing of this kind mentioned in these instructions? Why did these offi- cers treat the territories of which they obtained possession as a conquest, which was to hecome a portion of the United States? Why is it that no intimation was given to them or to us that the ob- ject had been misunder-tood—that the possession which they held of these ter- ritories was as a sort of mortgage, or in the nature of a security to be held until the payment of the debts due to us by Mexico? But this view of the subject, I think, be- comes still stranger when we consider the mode jn which the President carried on his negotiations. Mr. Slidell was sent to Mexico, if | recollect rightly, in the month ef November. J believe that his credentials bear date on the 10th of that month. Wel], when he went to Mexico he was not received, Why was he not? The President tells you that Mexico, in spite of her plighted word, insultingly re- to receive our minister. Well, now it ig plain to me—it is evident. that when adverting to the correspandence which took piste between our consul at Mexico aad | Pena a Pena—it is plain it ne- ver was the design of the then executive government of Mexico to receive a min- istar resident froin the United States. The anperence ysed J think, on the 15th of Qe- ~ 1845—“ The Mexican government will receive a commissioner to settle the present dispute ;” and two months there. after, on the 15th of December, 1845, when eur representative insisted upon it that he sang ede es the person who was to be Sent from this government was to settle all the differences between the two nations both the indemnity for spoliations and the rie hapa tary Rap Mexican 'e8 in substance, * nota w fa said in the credentials of this person settling any differences.

Well, we were not satisfied | with that. They had promised to receive | a commissioner; the President tendered them a minister resident. To that minis- ter they objected, because he could not be received without arousing excited feel- ings and endangering the government of the country. But that is not all. Long before Mr. Stidell’s mission was set on foot. on the 15th June, 1845, the acting | Secretary of War writes to General Tay- | lor in these terms} | “The point of your ultimate destination | is the western frontier of Texas, where | you will select and occupy, on or near the | Rio Grande del Norte, such a site as will | consist with the health of the troops, and | | ) will be best adapted to repel invasion, and to protect what, in the event of an- | nexation. will be our western border.” Now, sir, here is an order as early as' the 15th of June, 1845, in which General | Taylor is directed to select a position on | or near the Rio del Norte, claimed as the | western frontier of Texas, which should | have these conditions—it should consist | with the health of the troops and be the point best adapted to repel invasion, and | to protect, in the event of invasion. what | was to be our western border. Now, it will be sufficiently obvious from these doe- | uments, I think, that it was the intention | of the President that General Taylor) should move to the left bank of the Rio! General Taylor so understood it, | for in a despatch of his dated 4th Octo- ber, 1845, he says: “It will be recallected that the instruc- tions of June 15, issued by Mr. Bancroft, | then acting Sec’y of War, directed me to “ select and occupy, on or near the Rio. Grande, such a site as will consist with the health of the troops, and will be best. adapted to repel invasion,” &c. Brazos. | Santiago is the nearest entrance to the. | mouth of the Rio Grande ; and Point Isa- bel, within that entrance and 21 miles from Matamoros, would have fulfilled more completely than any other Pgsition the conditions imposed by the Secretary. But we had no artillery, no engineer force ‘or appliances, and but a moderate amount of infantry 3 and the occupation of Point | with at least the possibility of resistance from the Mexicans, might have compri- _ sing. Isabel, under these circumstances,-and | | sed the safety of the command. I, there- | fore, determined to take up the next ac- | cessible position in the rear, which is the ' mouth of the Nueces river.” Gen. Taylor says expressly that he un- | derstood that he would more completely | carry out the order by taking a position /at Point Isabel. Why did he not? He immediately assigns the reason. As early as the 15th of December, an order was issued to Gen. Taylor, which | | he understood to be an order to take up. his position on the left bank of the Rio 'Grande. Anarder which he thought would | have been best complied with by estab- | lishing his position at Fort Isabel. And | _he informed the department on the 4th of | October, that this would have been done, | | but that he had not the requisite force to | / enable him to do it without the fear of a check on the part of Mexico. Well, sir, did he understand the order rightly? Let -us see, Qn the 16th the Secretary writes , to him. / ments, _name keep secret your operations, but not in other great things. a self desired to settte the differences upon Ofe friéndly relations? Bet, be it rem bered, I have shown to thé Senate a dy, that the President considered, (we have it under his own hand in the orders transmitted to his officers), that=the ex? pulsion of the Mexicans from thedefte ® of the Rio Grrande—the removal @Ft settlements was an act of aggression, a’ hostile act, an act to be avoided—in or- der to insure the peacefal settlement of our difficulties, and whieh nothing would. justify but the occurrence of actual war. Thus, it seems to me, that not only did the President bring on the war by an un- lawful and unconstitutional act, but that he has prosecuted it for the purpose of conquest. To be concluded neat week. SENATOR MANGUM’S RESOLUTION. The Washington correspondent of the Balti- /more American gives the following sketch of the debate which took place in the U. S. Sen. tion: - Mr. Mangum’s Resolution is substantially | Seat case in the terms of his amendment— that—the President be requested to state whe- ther the General Order 376 issued by Gener- al Scott was from instructions from the War Department, and also any opinion of Gen. Scott | on file, as the military means necessary to car- ry them into effect. Mr. Mangum pressed his Resolution, and the duty of the President to communicate what. ever information was necessary for the true guidance of the body. One Senator, from N. | C. said that he desired to know what was the Executive purpose on this subject, and that he should officially inform the Senate what object was now designed by the war. ‘There was a tender-footedness upon this sub- ject,—a sort of skittishness, which was surpri- He had never seen such a sensitiveness before in his long service in this body and in the other House, Gentlemen seemed afraid to communicate light to the Senate. They were afraid of infurming the Senate of what was de- signed—of what was done—and Senators were called upon to carry out the wishes of the Ad- _ ministration without even knowing what they | were, Mr. Crittenden thought the Senator from Michigan might well be sensitive at being call. ed “tender-footed” upon this subject. The Senator had signalized himself by opposition to ‘all calls of information here. Whenever light was wanted he was for keeping dark, and we were to be made to walk blind-folded over red hot coals in order to keep the President’s se- crets prosecuting the war. There was no State secrets worth keeping. Such things belonged to little Governments and little persons. Litthe Governments adopted them and nobody else. ‘They belonged to lit- tle things, little people and little Govern. When we employed spies, in Heaven’s Fhe Senator from Mfchi- gan did not want Mexico to know what we wanted—what we designed. Why, we did not know ourselves. We were kept in the dark —wholly in the dark, The other day the Senator did not want to destroy the Nationality of Mexico. Soon afer we could swallow the whole of Mexico and it would not hurt us.x—Now he was for the entire subjugation, or conquest of Mexico. We might swallow Mexico, though he thought it would make us a most misshapen mass. Mexico was now entirely at our mercy, and we could “ swallow” as the Senator said, leg, | arm, or head, cr even the whole if necessary. _ Any new species of cannibalism we were strong enough to attempt.—Mexico was conquered al- ready, and there was no need of all these State secrets—all these impenetralia and arcana. [t was unbecoming our people to adopt this dark- , hess. “ You will approach as near the western boundary of Texas (the Rio Grande) as ‘circumstances will permit.” &c. And the final order of the 13th of Jan- uary, 1846, which all admit, was an im. | | perative one to Gen. Taylor to advance _to the left bank of the Rio Grande, about the meaning and propriety of which there ts no dispute. It is concluded in exactly | the same terms as the two orders prece- | ding it. He is directed to advance, and occupy @ position on, or near the left bank of the Rio Grande. There is no intima- tion at any time after this despatch of |General Taylar, informing him that he is |mistaken jn the construction which he’ puts upon the order. Qn the contrary, af- ter that despatch must have been receiv- |ed—nearly three manths after it was | | written—it is again indicated to be the design of the department, that he should | occupy the same position which he was directed to do previously. Te is diree- | ted to do it by a repetition of the order is- | sued in June, 1845, almost in the same terms. Well, now what is the inference | from this? If in June, 1845, Gen. Taylor | | had been provided with a train of artil-. lery, if he had a suitable aparatus of en- | gineers, he would under the order of June. 15th have advanced, and taken possession of Fort Isabel—expelling the Mexicans from that position, and placing it under _the control of the United States. If he | had done so, would he not have been o- _beying the orders of this government ? Was it not what was designed by the gov- | ernment, that he should do if the means had been in his possession? It isevident it was so designed, because when they had given him the means and the same | | order—he assumes the position with the entire approbation and support of the | government. Well. now, was not this a_ singular mode of proceeding, if the object had been to preserve peace and amity be- | tween the two nations? Offence having Deen taken for some cause, real or sup- | posed, that before the President sends his mission of peace—; month hefore he sends u——an order is issued——the object | | and scope of which was to place a milita- ty force with itory clai ty fore in the territory claimed and ,accupied by Mexico. Now, is it not ob-| -vigus that had such a movement been | | made, it was calculated to rouse the in- | dignation of Mexico, and_tp prevent the Possibility of Settlement of the différénces | between the two countries?” If ‘Hegotia. | tion was desirable, if the President him. | { | to. itary Affairs would tell us this, he would care Cass) went for the conquest ot Mexico, and this free and kad been kidnapped.

Mr. C. held, in most eloquent words and with great force of manner, that the Senate had a right to know whet was done and what was designed. Mr. Cass rejoiced that war was'a game, and | that secrets were necessary. He would vote for all necessary public information which the Ex. | eculive might deem it discreet to give.

The principle was, that no pension | should be allowed to any widow who did not live in the Aime of the:Revolytion. The year 1794 was therefore fixed as the limitation; so that no marriage since that day could entitle the widow to apension. It was considered that no lady would be likely to marry under twelve years of age ; and therefore every woman mar. ried previous to this period must have lived through the trying times of the Revolution. If) The House havi: face the reason for extending the law to the pre- namely, that she was born before the close of | the Revolution, and did live within that trying | period—thus bringing within the equity of the | principle the existing law. But if you pass the | bill without such an amendment, you establish | a precedent allowing a pension to the widow of | ; a revolutionary soldier who was rot married till | the year 1813; and if the claim be allowed | without qualification in once instance, it cannot | be refused in any. | Mr. STUART, of Michigan, was in favor of | reporting the whole subject back to the House, | without further action in committee, and pro. | ceeded to speak on the merits of the case. ‘The | amendment of the gentleman from Missouri, | (Mr. Bowx1n) was based, not on the fact of her | | marriage, but on the fact that she was born and lived during the period of the Revolution. Mr. BOWLIN here interposed and explain.. ed his amendment. Mr. STUART resumed. He understood the | gentleman’s reasoning in favor of his amend- ment, and only wished to show its fallacy. If Congress pensioned widows at all, it was done | on account of the services of their husbands.— It was of no consequence when the widow was born. The consideration on the part of the Government was this: because your husband afforded signal service in the war of the Revo. lution, we will aid you in sustaining yourself. That was the consideration, and not because of her birth during the revolution, or before it, was | she entitled to a pension; but because her hus- band was a soldier. In this was the equity of the case. It was of no consequence (he said) whether she had lived through the Revolution- ary struggle, or whether, from necessity or choice, she had not married until after the year | 1794. He was opposed to the passage of the bill, not because he was opposed to the princi- | ple, for he was in favor of that, in all its length and breadth. Under the present Jaw, there were but about five thousand pensioners; and it would not increase the list much if we were to pension the widow of every Revolutionary soldier. If we were even to double the number it would not cause any very startling expendi. | ture of money. The danger was not in paying these soldiers too much, or duing too much for their widows. He could not, in the present case, admit the claim of this lady on the score of her relationship to Major Jacob Brown; for, by the time. of the end of the present war, many cases of this character would come up; and he doubted not, if they could be all looked up at this time, they would amount to many as two thous- and cases. If this case was peculiar on this | score, he must confess he could not see it. He could easily perceive why it should add to the reputation of this lady, and entitle her to the consideration of the country. This whole case, he contended, was only one among a thousand | reasons why a general law on this subject should be passed. But it had been urged to pension every widow of revolutionary soldiers | would cost too much. Mr. S. deprecated this | argument in strong terms. Let it be once un. derstood that they would not take care of their widows, and he would warn the House that vol- unteers would no more come into the service. In conclusion, Mr. S. said he made these re- marks to justify himself in voting against the re- solution, whether amended or not. He should hardly respectful to let just such an amount of | every individual claim of this class that might | light, or twilight, as he regarded as most pro. , be presented.

The Standard may harp and misrepre- sent him as to the motives intended in giving the vote which he did on Mr. Ash- man’s resolution, but it will accomplish nothing. So far as we have heard Whigs express an opinion on the subject, it was clearly in his favor, supporting him throughout. It is our opinion, that if the sense of the people could be taken on the War, it would be found to be decidedly against the Administration, sufficient to -crushit toatoms. No good man can, with any kind of a face, stand up and advo- cate this war or defend those who were instrumental in getting us into it. The evils already flowing from it, and those which will undoubtedly come upon the nation, are too apparent for any person to make any kind of defence of Mr. Polk _and his Cabinet. And from the uneasi- _ness manifested by the President and his friends, it is evident, that if they had known what they do now. we should ne- ver have gotten into it. They thought it would not turn out as serious as it has, _but that the Mexicans after being beaten once, would silently submit, and accede to any proposal which might be made by Mr. | Polk’s Minister: and the glory of such an achievment, would be so much clear gain for the Democracy. out first counting the cost as carefully as he ought to have done, trusting it would inure to the benefit of the party.

Worth, pre- ferred by the Commander-in-Chief, should be dismissed without his being tried. Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. WasuincTon, Jan. 22.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE. Mr. Eviton: In your paper (the Southern Planter, Vol. Ill. No. 4, page 1,) is an article onthe cultivation and value of the Jerusalem Artichoke, (Helanthus ‘Tuberosus.) If you have that paper | would hke for you to publish it again in the Southern Planter, and state under | the piece that I have a crop of them now grow. | ing, and if any person wishes to give thema trial, they can be supplied with seed any time between now and the.next spring. They may he planted any time from now until the first of by the soil is not so heavily taxed as by other For the information of those who are March. not acquainted with them, and perhaps might | suppose that they are the common round arti- choke growing generally in this section of coun- try, I would state that they are quite a differ. em root, resembling the Spanish or sweet po-- I have tato and the color of the yam potato. for several years wished to procure seed, but have been unable until last winter to do so.— A gentleman fiving in Nash county, North Car- olina, brought a small quantity from Tennes- see a few years back in its carriage ; from them he raised a crop, whence | got mine. I have been told that they are much prized in Tennessee and Alabama for their great profit in raising and fattening hogs. If of value in those countries, where corn is raised so plenti- fully and sells so low, of how much more value ought they to be in this country where corn is so much dearer. ‘Ihe artichoke is the easiest crop to cullivate of any kind that is made by ploughing and hoeing~—and after they are rais- ed there is no risk of losing them, for the place where they grow is the best to preserve them through the winter, and turning the hogs on them saves the trouble of digging, Very respecifully, Natit Mason. Summit Depot, Northampton, N. C. _— In compliance with this request, we republish | the following ; “From the fact that many inquiries have been made of {ate in relation to this very re- markable and uscful plant, I am disposed to speak a few things of its culture and uses.— The Jerusalem artichoke warmer parts of America, and of course was unknown in Europe till after the discovery of is a native of the this country by Columbus and his coadjutors. Since that time it has been cultivated to con- siderable extent on the continent, as well asin | Great Britain; but the reports of ita profits | have considerably varied in that as well as in | this country, In the old world some have cul- tivated it to affurd shade to the game ; others converted the stocks and leaves into fodder for cattle ; and others again, have encouraged ils growth for the tubers alone. there are two important objects to be kept in mind in raising artichokes; Ist. The improve. meat of land; 2dly. The use of the tubers.— However, the first inatter is the cultivation, and I begin with— 1.

Generally, abou the same cultivation given to corn will answer well for artichokes. 7. Digging.—This is the most troublesome job in the management of this crop ; and if the hoe is the dependance, the labor will be very tedious. The better plan, is to lay off a land as for breaking up the ground as svon as the frost | has killed the under leaves of the stocks, The plough should run from six to nine inches deep, | and let the hands, big and little, pass directly afier the plough, to pick up, so that none of the roots may be covered by the next furrow. 8. Yield.—The produce to the acre is vari- ously estimated at from five hundred to one thousand bushels, and it 1s probable the turn out | on medium land would be nearer the latter than the former. >> EPHRAIM ‘HAYES. ‘We have no sympathy with those men uy py Om ys 74 7; af Author of 4 New Hace,” = Fest Life” te,, who offer an apology for a geptlemaply, CHRONIC AND OTHER DiskasEa, | "'“**"* ee een eminent wrisen g” { pondents from.

Bed- ford by some of: his friends:- Mr. Hayes is said to be a kind hearted, generous, magnanimous.man. He sometimes refu- ses to sell to a customer who is drank at his bar, and he has been known, says oar informants, to assist some poor drunkards }home from his house to their families. This does, at first, indeed look very much Hayes will not scruple to make those men drunk. He tempts the poor fellow 9.

Improvement of Land.—As the stocks | grow from ten to fifteen feet in height, and have | thick, porous foliage, much of thé-food of the | plant is received from the atmosphere, and there- | crops, the ground is protected from the killing rays of the sun, and the stocks and leaves fall | and rot very soon; these advantages, with the | | manure from hogs, afford the cheapest and a. | | mongst the richest coats in my knowledge. It is my conviction, (in the absence of long expe- rience,) that artichokes in summer, and hogs in winter, will enrich our poor Jands cheaper and | much better than any other plan. a farmer cannot have all his land in artichokes, | | To be sure, _but every one should have enough to support his hogs through the winter, and [ venture to say | that those who give this crop a fair trial will re. | luctantly abandon it. 11. General Remarks.—A few farmers of my acquaintance have informed me, that they have succeeded with corn and artichokes together, j and it is highly probable this will prove a suc- cessful mode of cultivating these two crops; but | on the system of ‘one thing ata time, prefer each crop separately. > we would | | Some have sup- _posed the second year’s growth on the same ‘ground would be more valuabie than the first; _ but this isa mistake. ‘The plants grow so thick the second year, that not more than half a _crop can be anticipated. It might answer to _plough out rows and cultivate the second year ; but the practice of putting artichoke lands in something else the second year, is the plan I | much prefer. Amongst the arguments which might be used | in favor of his crop, it should not be forgotten that there is no labor of digging but for seed ; | that more troublesome weeds and erasses arc completely smothered out; and last, but not least, the plants the second year are more easi- ly subdued than almost any weeds known.— Take artichokes all in all, I think them wortby the attention of every farmer who wishes to en- rich his lands, or raise his pork with a small outlay of grain. The National Inteligencer of the 20th says —We have perhaps never had it in our power to publish any paper of more interest or conse- \ ‘ quence on the particular matter to which it was confined, than the subjoined Letter from a dis- _tingushed citizen of South Carolina, eminently qualified by his personal knowledge, gathered | during travel in foreign parts, and public ser. | vice and experience both abroad and at home, to form a sound judgement on the subject of ' which his letter treats, and who, being a friend to the Administration, cannot be suspected of being under any possible party bias against its will grow in the shade, that is under trees, or P©epesed measures. in fence corners, very well indeed.

Hayes, because he isa such nonesense. Just so long as he isa dealer in the damning poison—just so long as he is placing the weeds of mourning upon the wife, the mother, and the sister —sending scores of young men into un- timely graves—just so long he is a hard- hearted monster, and unworthy the name of a citizen. He has no claim upon the sympathies of any man; and we cannot tolerate any correspondent who eulogises a ramseller like Ephraim Hayes. Three- cent groggeries are bad enough, but gen- tee] groggeries are infinitely worse. As we have before remarked in this paper, the one manufactures, the other finishes the drunkard. While in N. Bedford, we found that the eulogy alluded to above, pleased Hayes, his customers, and the en- | emies of the temperance cause generally. “ That’s doing the handsome thing,” and other si- milar expressions were heard from the © craft,” and the lovers of strong drink.— We set the following down for a general rule: When a rumseller or a rum drinker is pleased with an article which appears in print, there is something wrong in that When temperance men are do- may be assured they are doing wrong.

Let not Ephraim Hayes think that the above remarks apply to him only ; they _are applicable to every (so called) respec- table, gentlemanly rumseller.

The se- cond is to overrun the whole country and hold all the principal places in it by es- tablishing garrisonstherein. What is the third? It is to retain what we possess, to open a communication with the interior, and t® take other places, according as our means may enable us. Does he mean un- der the second plan to take more than our means will enable us to take ? Under the first of the two latter of the Secretary’s plans, he proposes to take all the princi- pal places in Mexieo; and, under the se- cond of them, he proposes to keep what we have got and get all we can. Well, now the President has adopted the third of the plans reported by the Secretary, as enumerated by him, upon which the war is to be carried on, and it is upon that ba- sis that supplies are asked, and particu- larly the ten regiments proposed to be raised by the bill, to assist in carrying out the operations of this war, in accordance with the views of the Secretary. Well, sir, believing as I do that the ne- cessary consequence of furnishing the means which are required by this bill will be to enable the Secretary of War, under the direction of the President, to make a permanent conquest of the whole of Mex- ico, 1 cannot vote for it. I am opposed to augmenting the forces for such a purpose. How is the conquest of Mexico to be effected? How is a peace to be brought war, except by the seizure and subjuga- tion of the whole country? I cannot vote, sir, for any plan by which Mexico is to be conquered and annexed. Because, in the first place, it would be grossly unjust. It would, in my judgment, according to my convictions of right, be a high and _fla- grant wrong for us to seize upon and in- corporate the territories of that Republic into our own. | believe it would fix a stig- ma upgn the character of this people which all successive ages would not be able to wipe out. No oblivion that thousands of years which the lapse of ages could surround it, would prevent the flagrant enormity of posterity. How could our future histori- ans and poets be able to relate the tale of | this country’s doings in regard to this fee- | ble, unfortunate, degraded Republic? In vain would the attempt be made to close ‘the eyes of mankind against the gross in- | justice of this procedure, by throwing a- | round, it the flimsy pretences which pat- riotism might suggest. Sir, now we have | the dazzling blaze of military glory cast over these operations, and behold them in a light which may mislead and deceive us, but when the excitement of the pre- sent day Shall have passed away, and they shall be looked at in the clear light of history, and their character pronounc-, ed by the voice of truth, there will be a universal verdict of condemnation given by mankind. My deliberate conviction is, that in the judgment of posterity, if we should consummate such a wrong as this, the crimson guilt of the partition of Poland would pale into absolute white- ness in the comparison. The one, it would be said, was an act perpetrated by monarchs, hereditary rulers, men born to govern, and who had been taught to re- gard others merely as the ministers of their power, & in whose behalf it might be urged that they only followed the example of their predecessors in seeking, by what- ever means, to increase their power ; but in the other case it would be declared that the act was committed by a Republican Government, based on principles of equal rights, and pofessing friendship ard good will to all mankind, seeking for national happiness and national glory in the pur- suit of the peaceful arts, engaged in the establishment of justice and tranquility, and regarding the whole human race as brethren in blood, entitled to their human- ity and consideration.

I was glad to hear his voice raised against what in my view would be one of the greatest of crimes, one of the greatest of political blunders. But I wonder, Mr. President, that it did not strike the honorable Sena- tor that the injustice of seizing upon the whole by force was an injustice but in de- gree superior to seizing upon any part by force ; that. though the enormity of ab- sorbing the whole of the Mexican terri- tory strikes us with astonishment and hor- ror, it is but because the human mind is more strongly affected and impressed by subjects which appe@fdarge, yet that in truth the seizure of one fogt, of Mexican soil is justas mucha inyasion of the eternal principles of right, as much a sa- crifice of the claims of justice and the ob- ligations which we owe our fellow-men. as the seizure of the whole. I am opposed to the conquest, by arms, of Mexico. I am opposed to wresting from her one inch of her domain by the exertion of any force which shall control her will and compel an apparently voluntary surrender, while in reality the soul of the country tenacious- ly adheres to that with which it parts. I am opposed to the commission by this country of such anact of injustice for the attainment of any object, be it great or small, believing, as 1 fully do, that a pure | unsullied reputation amongst the nations | of the earth is of more importance to us | than any acquisition that the wide world | can furnish. It has been said—it was said on this | | floor at the time when the resolutions of | the honorable Senator from South Caro- lina were before the Senate—that the proposition contained in them, which con- destruction of her nationality, was a pro- | position the assertion of which would be | idle and fruitless, because the destruction of ‘the nationality of Mexico is contem- | plated by no one. At the time when I) heard the statement made, I entertained the same opinion, and expressed that opin- | ion tothe Senator himself. (Mr. Calhoun here nodded assent.) But, an attentive | | tary of war, and the means demanded by | the President—a consideration of the im- portant fact disclosed this day, that the President has refused upon this subject to. communicate his views and plans in the ar—the fact that he has proceeded from a disavowal of all intended conquest to a simple inti- hat he has never desired to con- quer Mexico or destroy her nationality— | these things, sir, have convinced me of | the probability that the Government is now thinking, at some no distant day, ac- | tually to make the movement which the | resolution of the Senator from South Car- | olina denounces. I was struck, sit, with the account of arecent celebration in this city of the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans. It was held here on the 11th instant, and I noticed that an honor- able and distinguished member of this body (Mr. Dickinson) made an address on | bled, concluding with a sentiment which goes far ahead of the annexation of the whole of Mexico. He gave as a toast, “A more perfect Union, embracing the whole of the North American continent.” I did not observe that the sentiment was received with disapprobation. I saw no mention of any qualification of the senti- ment by him or others; but there it stands as the declared opinion of a representa- tive of the great “Empire State” upon this floor—a State which, of all others, is able to succeed by physical force in the accomplishment of such a design—a de- sign looking to a more “ perfect union, not in the closer association of the mem- bers of this republic—not in a strength- ening of our social relations—not Im an increase of mutual attachment—but a more perfect union which is to embrace in one with usthe whole of the American continent, including Mexico on the south and the entire British provinces on the north. When I see propositions of that sort coming from gentlemen of such bigh character, known intelligence, and dis- tinguished position before the country, ] cannot resist the conclusion that such sen- timents may have an echo in the hearts of thousands. But there are other difficulties in my ry force. mind. I consider the further prosecution of this war upon the plan proposed by the President of the United States as danger- ous to the liberties of the country. 1 was Mruck by the remark made by the honor- able Senator from South Carolina, (Mr. Calhoun.) that no one now hears, as in the early days of the republic, the ques- tion, “ How will this ineasure affect our liberty?” Now we sit down and calcu- late calmly what amount of military force or means it is necessary to put into the hands ef the President to accomplish a certain object. We ask whether we shall send him further into Mexico, at the head of an hundred thousand men, with all the means of this country at his command, by our voluntary vote, and all the means of Mexico by military and violent seizure ; and yet, as the honorable Senator said, there is no seaniny os tothe effect of all this upon ous liberties. That remark excited in my mind a train of thought which led me tothe conclusion that there is great and just ground of apprehension, if this measure-is adépted, that the liberties of the country will be seriously endanger- ed. Recollect what the President claim- ed on this subject in his messageof last session. All that has been done hereto- fore in Mexico inthe prosecution of this war, the Peesident elaims the right of do- ing because we are the conqueror. But where, | ask, does he find any authority for exercising the rights of a conqueror! If he has them, it mast be irrespective and independent of-the constitution of the United States. The veror bas cer- tain rights, and the President claims that these rights belong to him. For one, I do not admit that proposition. It is the Go- vernment of the United States and the people .of the United States represented in that Government who are conquerors in every war in which we are successful. Therefore, the rights which belong to the conqueror, according to the law of nations, belong no more to the President than they do to the lowest officer who leads a band of men against theenemy. These rights belong to the country—to those who rep- resent the sovereignty of the nation—who hold the war-power of the nation—to the Congress of the United States. The Pre- sident has no other power than as he is, by the constitution, the chief military com- mander, whose duty it is to carry on war for the purpose and to the ends declared by those who represent the sovereignty of the nation. Butthe President claims that he has a right to take possession, and that | having taken possession, he has aright to require from persons within the territory | the oath of allegiance ; submission to the regulations of his military officers ; sus- pension of all resistance to his military | authority, under pain of being treated as | traitors, and made liable to punishment in | their persons and in the confiscation of their goods, and to seize all the public pro- perty and revenues of the country. this he claims as a conqueror, and wholly irrespective of any responsibility to Con- gress. I protest against any such doc- \ trine. Having now stated my views of the ‘commencement of this war—the manner | _and purposes of its prosecution, and the ‘dangerous tendency of the Executive claims of power and projects of conquest '—I come to the proposition before us.— We are called upon to place at the com- | mand of the President ten regiments of regulars in addition to the present milita- For what purpose? To carry on the war with Mexico. Upon what plan? Sir, the President declines to in- form us upon what plan. Mr. MANGUM, (in his seat.) friends here decline. Mr. BADGER. A few days ago, when this subject was under consideration by the Senate, and my friend from Kentucky (Mr. Crittenden) stated in his strong and forcible manner the present condition of Mexico, and the utter and absolute want of any necessity for this additional milita- ry force, a part of a communication from General Scott was read by the honorable chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, as to the amount of force that would be required. Gen. Scott express- ed the opinion that if certain purposes were contemplated it would be necessary His ‘to raise his force to fifty thousand men. I myself asked the honorable Senator on what plan, system, or basis of operation ‘for conducting the war that estimate was made. The Senator declined to answer. Resolutions have been proposed in the other House making inquiries, and to these the President has declined giving any an- swer. A. resolution was introduced in this body asking the President to commu- nicate tous information on this subject, such as he might deem it consistent with the public interest to communicate to us, either confidentially or in open session. The President was asked to commanicate to us information which would enable us to understand this monster project for the war, which requires this great addition to our military means; and this morning, by a vote of the majority of this body, it was determined that the question should not be put to the President, whether he has in his possession any information on this subject which he could, consistently with the pablic interests, communicate to us, either in open session or confidential- ly? Thus, by the action of the President in the onéllease, and his triends in the oth. er, all information is denied us, and the All| eee ar nahin power of ed from al! knowledge of the: plags the prosecution of the war ! er i Well, sir, what is fhe amount. of ang military force in Mexico, to whieh, it-is proposed to make this formidable additionf. Without going into detail, 1 mayo safely say that that force at present amoantagdm round numbers, to forty-five thousand mets Under existing laws, twenty theasaatk may be raised to complete the comple ' ment of regulars and volunteers, melbings an aggregate of sixty-five thousand)mem’ Deduct from that fifteen thousand, emaer count of the casualties to which the 8ete ator from Michigan so often refers; and you have an army of fifty thousand men. Yet, itis now proposed to add to that force ten regiments of regulars, with a bill be- hind it to put at the disposal of the Presi- dent twenty thousand volunteers—a force, including the sailors and marines co-ope- rating with the troops, of not less than seventy-five thousand to eighty thousand effective men. What is it to begoccom- plished by that force? Are there battles to be fought? ‘That is distinetly disa- vowed. There is no expectation, sir, of any more battles tobe fought. For what, then, sir, do you ask these men? Why, the honorable gentleman from Michigan says, that he wishes, by the exhibition of a large force there, to produce “a great moral effect.” How? Why. he meaas to convince the Mexicans that they are unable to resist us! Well, sir, if they are able to resist the logic of such fields as Buena Vista, Churubusco, Contreras, and Cerro Gordo, think you, sir, that their ine credulity will yield to the mere sight of a large body of men? What, then, do you intend to do with this immense mili, tary force’? They are to take possession and occupy the country, it is said. And when they are there, what great object is it intended that they should accomplish, which this country desires to see aecom- plished? Do we want peace! Is it not obvious to every one that peace cannot in this way be obtained? If peace could be coerced, we have done every t that genius can contrive, and skill gallantry execute to accomplish it. I be- lieve it may be said, without exaggera- tion, that the history of no country has pre- sented such a succession of brilliant milé tary achievement as we have gained“in Mexico. Asa single battle, nothing ‘can be produced equal to the jast battle ‘of Taylor; and, as a succession of milite operations, where can you find a parent to the advance of Scott from Vera to the city of Mexico? If chastisement, defeat—overpowering, overwhelming de- feat—were sufficient 1o bring Mexico.to a disposition for peace, she would have been brought to that disposition long How, then, do you propose to paren A> rv it by our troops? Why, they are to ta possession and occupy the whole country} or, asthe Secretary of War says, to keep that portion of it which we have got, and ‘occupy all the rest of which our means will allow us to take possession. Well, ' when you have got possession, what dis- | position of it do you propose to make? | Posts and fortifications, | suppose, are to be established every where. You are to maintain all the strongholds ot Mexico. and her valleys are to be every where marked by the signs of military occupa- tion. How long is this state of things to continue ? Until Mexico makes peace ! But, J pray you, is this the way in which ‘the gentle sentiments of benevolence ‘and peace are to be instilled into the Mex- ican bosom? True, you may compel her to submit ; you may prevent her from ut- tering a word of complaint ; you may force her to feign compliance with your wishes ; her active resentment may disappear ; and | yet a dogged spirit of revenge and the in- ‘tensest hate will rankle and lurk beneath. | The Latin poet has said, with great pro- | priety, and force— “Site colu Sexte non amabo.” —referring to a well-known quality of our ‘nature, in virtue of which that superiori- ty which demands our admiration inclines us to withhold our love. If this be the tendency of that moral coercion, what may we expect from awe and terror? ‘Do we really expect, by renewed con- | quest. by devasted fields, by captured vil- 'lages, hy stormed fortresses, by oceupy- ‘ing such positions that no Mexican can look forth without beholding the evidence of the fall of his country and the presence of her conqueror, that a true peace is to be restored? Sir, no man should expect |it, What is the situation of Mexico at this moment? She lies at your feet, blee- ding. exhausted, panting. Do you wish to trample upon this enemy already ia the dust? Do you wish to crash the last re- mains of her vitality? 1 hope not, sir; but, even if you do, you do not need this additional force. We received yesterday the copy of-« general order of the 15th December, is- | sued by General Scott, the first artiche af | which proceeded to inform the army that it would spread itself over the Republic of Mexico; and which goes on to lish a system of internal regulation for the government of the country, and the collection and disbursement of the reven- ve. If, then, it be right and manly, ia the present crippled condition of Mexieoyte destroy her nationality, you bave ample means to do so. But ere you proceed to the accomplishment of such a purpose, will you not pause for a moment and re- flect upon the consequences which mast inevitably follow? If such a design be carried out, the destruction of our tiber- ties is certain. You send forth the Presi- dent with his eighty thousand men. He is told that he can support these men and meet the other expenses of the war a levying contributions in Mexico. He thus, clothed with such authority, left ia a foreign country to form bis plans awd carry them intoexecatien.

Such = power, sir, ought mot to be trasted to the President of the United States. Above all thi sir, regulars should not be the fores placed at his disposal. The honor- able chairman of the Committee on Mili- Affairs has told us that regulars were to be preferred because when they enter- ed the pet they surrendered every right but the right of obedience, and became ® mere machines!” This avowal led me te look with horror upon such a desciip« tien of force. is Gause, although they enter the service of the country, they yield none of the rights | of freemen. 1 am opposed to putting in- to the hands of the Executite a military force which knows no law but their mass tet’s bidding, moving at his will, obeying his behests implicitly, and holding them- selves free from all the obligations and tesponsibilities of citizenship. When you avast force of that description into the hands of the Executive, have you hot, as far as possible, rendered him ins ndent of you’?

Iisa, let us recol- lect the just and forcible remark made hefe last winter by the Senator from Mis- sotri, (Mr. Benton.) in speaking of the line proposed to be taken by the Senator from South Carolina—that no people on earth have such obstinate perseverance as the old Castilian race, and that this quality is to be found to a great extent in the present inhabitants of Mexico. The Senator then reminded us that if we undertake the process of sitting out the Mexicans, we should not forget the exam- ple of the Moors ; for, as he remarked, they sat a thousand years, and the Spaniards at last sat them out, and took possession of the whole of Spain. Sir, Iam not in favor of voting these regulars to the Pres- ident in order to enlarge our military forces im Mexico. The force there now is am- ee) every legitimate purpose.

The most | important feature of the intelligence by this ar. rival relates (o the rumors of peace and anat.- ttempted insurrection tn the city of Mexico. Col.

These escaped him a few hours only. Gen. Valencia and Col. Arrista were released on parole. Cols. ‘Torrejon, Minon and Gaund were shortly aflerwards captured at Amazuca, near Puebla. by Eominguex, Captain of the Mexican spy company in the service of the United States. Gen. Cadwalfader’s command, consisting of the 4th Artillery, 6th, 8th and 11th Infantry, left the city of Mexico on the 3d instant for To- luca. ‘The troops were in fine spirits at the prospect of active service once more. ‘They had reached Lerma at the last accounts, with- out molestation.

You will find in one of the letters of the gen. tleman who continued his correspondence with you during my indisposition, an account of the of Contreras, and Col. Arista, of the former, in this valley, by a party of Tex- an Rangers under command of Col, Wynkoop, of the Pennsylvania Volunteers. From all I can learn, the expedition was managed in the most successful manner, and the party came ve. ry near laying hands on Padre Jarauta himself, who has been busy in this vicinity some weeks. Yesterday, Dominguez, the captain of the Mexican Spy Company, arrived with a smal} at the hacienda a brush with a party of the enemy’s cavalry be. tween Ojo de Agua and Napoluea. ‘The cav. alry he dispersed, and took Prisoners Gens. Torejon, Minon and Gaund, who were with the party, and delivered them over to Col. Childs, at Puebla, together with two American deserters whom he found with the party. Ire. gret that in addition to these captures I cannot add that of Gen, Solazar, who rendered himself infamous by bis cruelty to the Santa Fe prison. oners, The scoundrel was in the city a few days since, upwards of twenty four hours with his family, and the authorities, on learning his bereabout, sent a body of soldiers to arrest m, but unfortunately he had left e city about two hours before it was known was here. All these prisoners have been liberated on pa: rule. I have thus imperfectly expressed the views under which I must vote against the proposition on your table, They have | have restrained the troops from sacking the ctty. go where they please, and among their ows ecan say What they please, which ena- bles them todo gs much more injury in exciting the people to acts of hostility than if they were never taken prisoners, and their influence not confined to such parts of the country only as they could muster courage to visit. As an in- stance in proof of what I say, I am told by a gentleman who came up with Colonel John. son’s train from Vera Cruz, that on entering one of the small towns at this side of Puebla, which was an advantageous posifion to resist the advance of Col. Johnson, Gen. La Vega (who, together with his brother, Col. La Vega taken at Huamantia, and Gen. Heren, taken at Cero Gordo, came up with the train on tem. porary parole) addressed the first Krtot of his countrymen he met in the town, asked them why they were not up. It would be much safer to keep these men confined here, or send them to the United States. : It is impossible to say when there will be a movement towards any of the cities still in the possession of the enemy. The courmander in chief, confident, perhaps, of a peace resulting from the proposition of which it is said the Mex. ican Government has made, is not disposed to disturb the deliberations of the Government at Queretaro by sending an expedition in that di- rection, or to create new causes of animosity by making additional conquests until the result | of the proposition is known. A bearer of despatches from Washington ar- rived yesterday with Col. Dominguez, and it is possible that an onward movement may be or- dered. If it is ordered soon, there is little, if any, probability of resistance being offered to our progress. ‘There is not any one point that I can learn sufficient men and military supplies to resist one thousand of our soldiers. I regret to say there isa great deal of sick- ness among the four volunteer regiments from Kentucky, ‘Tennessee and Indiana, which Gen. Butler commanded to this city, The measels, the mumps and the diarhcea are the prevailing diseases, and on an average one-half the men in the four regiments are unfit for duty. We have news to day from Queretaro.— Anaya who was elected President after Santa Anna’s resignation, has gone out of office, the term having expired, and Pena y Pena, by right of his office as Chief Justice, at present fills the vacant chair, or has been elected President—I | cannot positively learn which, but I am in. clined to believe the former. He has declared that he will pursue the policy of Anaya, who is supposed to be favorable to peace. The letter which brings this news is dated the 8th inst. and says the Cabinet has been recognized by the appointment of Sr. Rossas as Minister of Foreign Relations and temporary Secretary of the Treasury, Riva Salacio as Minister of Jus- tice, and Pedro Maria Anaya as Secretary of Justice, and Pedro Maria Anaya as Secretary of War, Yours, D. §, City oF Mexico, Jan. 19, 1848. On Monday last the commander in-chief was informed of a movement designed here to at- tack the quarters of the officers of the army, and, if possible, to take them prisaners or kill them. The plan was, that the population, or so much of it as could be induced to take part in the conspiracy, should rise, and, assisted by a body of guerrillas which were to enter the city at a certain hour, make the attack. Du- ring the day the commander in-chief iuformed all of the intended attack, designated rallying | points for the different regiments, and made ev- | ery disposition necessary to defeat the ingurrec- countrymen ; for if the attempt bad been made, their is not an officer in the army, not except- ing the commander. in-chief himself, who could During the night, Lieut. Baker of the 5th Indi- ana regiment, commanding 2 patrole, came in sight of two carts near the Plazza de Torro, in the south eastern part of the city, one of which, containing one hundred stand of arms, he cap. tured; the other he wasunable to come up with before it was placed in concealment. Wheth- er Gen. Scott has the names of the parties who originated the plot, or not, [ do not know; but it is pretty well understood that the chief con- spirators are among the soldiers of the Mexican army, who assumed citizen’s dress when our army entered the city, and have remained here since. A few days may reveal more in rela. tion to the matter. ; You will, perhaps, learn before this reaches you, of a similar attempt at Puebla, which the promptitude and determination of Col.

Although the guerrillas far exceed. ed the Texans, they did not want for more than the first charge, but fired in great confusion.— Jarauta was seen to fall from his horse, which, together with bis lance and cloak, fell into the hands of Col. Hays. His saddle was bloody ; from which it is inferred that the reverend scoundrel was killed. C. C. Notice---Iredell County Bible Society.

The difficulty is that there is not government enough in Mexico to make and guaranty any treaty of peace.” On the other hand, the Commercial Ad- vertiser of Saturday evening remarks: “ We are enabled to say that there are letters in the city from members of Con- gress, of both parties, which declare in| the most unequivocal terms that the out- | line of a treaty, or arrangement, has been | “© leas received at Washington, corresponding | 8Te § generally with the propositions originally | made by Mr. Trist to the Mexican com- missioners, and that it will be acceded to by the Administration.” “ Independent,” the sensible correspon- dent of the Philadelphia North American. in his letter of Saturday, discredits the statement that the Propet ofa treaty has been sent on by Mr, Trist, but does not deny what he has been negotiating with the Maxican government. This writer observes ; “Mr. Trist stands in the worst possible order with the President and his party, for refusing to return home, ashe was or- dered to do. Senators occupying promi- nent positians, are not reserved in their expressions at his canduct, and more than one ‘has signified that the President should send a ‘ guard to escort him to Washing- ton.’ The friends of Mr, Trist, on the other hahd, are complaining severely at this treatment. Mr. Buchanan, who. ap- pointed him to office, finding that he has incurred the displeasure of the President, has, as might be expected, deserted him. When had he the caurage ar integrity to sustain a friend, if such support might in any way comproinise himself? His life is a refutation of the suspicion that he ever had the manliness to do right, at the haz- ard of his personal or ,political interest.” In still later papers, we have more pos- itive statements that the terms of a treaty have been adjusted by Mr. Trist. The Philadelphia Bulletin of Monday evening, contains the following : “ Notwithstanding the denial of the Un- | ion that a treaty of peace is in progress, we have every reason to believe the con- | trary. Mr. Cummings, of the Bulletin, | who is now in Washington, has sent us a despatch, in which he states that over- | tures have been made by Mexico, and that | these overtures are substantially acceptable to the administration! The denial of the | Union is, no doubt, a mere diplomatic | ruse.” But the New York Herald, of Monday morning, gives more positive specifica- | tions on this subject than we have else- where seen. “ We have received (says the Herald) authentic and special intelligence -from | Washington. embracing most positive in- formation that a treaty has absolutely been negotiated between Mr. 'T'rist, the | commissioner of the United States, and | the three negotiators of the Mexican gov- ernment. And furthermore, that at the concurrence of the Mexican Congress, | which it was almost sure to get, before it | was to be transmitted to the United States. Of the general fact of a treaty, in this | form and condition, there can be no doubt ; but the negotiation is combined and cou- | pled with a number of very curious par- ticulars, which will have a great and im- | portant influence on its progress to mu- | tual ratification by the governments of. the two countries. “ This treaty, we have every reason to. believe, has been negotiated by Mr. Trist. | in conjunction with Gen. Scott, both ac- | ting in opposition, or without the instruc- tions of the administration at Washing- ton. A most curious and remarkable ex- plosion may be expected on this subject, at no distant day.” The Herald goes on to give an account, not very authentic we suspect, of a pri- vate letter, written in New York, in Sep- tember last, by the mutual friends of Mr. Clay and Mr. Van Buren, and sent care- fully sealed to Gen. Scott in Mexico. This letter, the Herald represents, advised him to go on with negotiations, notwithstand- ing the apposite instructions of the Exec- utive at home. It is said to have been transmitted through Messrs Hargous & Co., a Spanish house in New York, who have a brother in Mexico engaged in trade. “From the information communicated to us, (proceeds the Herald,) the treaty was to have been presented immediately to the new Mexican Congress. which was to assemble on the first of the present month of January. This Congress was composed of deputies from all the States except Jalisco and San Louis Potosi, and they are represented to be favorable to a peace, formed according to the previous | instructions of Mr. Trist, at the Jast date received from him, (which was the 26th of December,) stated that he certainly would be able to leave Mexico about the middle of January, would probable ar- rive at Yera Cruz in sufficient time to embark for the United States. before the first of February, as he would come down The policy of liberating these men I Salisbury, Jan. 1, 1848 if 36 with a large train from Mexico to Vera at f milfta with their brethren, who do think it im- | the shock ? /sentiments of the whole country be known -sembling of a National Convention?

The meeting thus gpunized, the Chairman in a felicitous gie peculiar to himself, explained the ect of the meeting. H.C. Jones, Esq., addressed the meet- ing, 200 submitted the following resolu. \ ! ' tons - . “ peolved, That the Whigs of Rowan ap- re of the proposed State Convention, to be ield in Raleigh, on 22d instant, and also of a Ygtional Convention as recommended by the “elves zealously to support whosoever sues at Washington City, and we pledge hese Conventions shall nominate for the re- tive offices of Governor of the State and President and Vice President of the United Quies. . Resolted, That while we accord to General Jeebary Taylor the meed of high qualities as ywidier and as a man—and while we even jelare that he will be our first choice for Pre. gent of the United States, if as we believe is, sound on the several leading traits of the Whig policy 5 nevertheless, We protest resolute. yaainst an attempt, which seems to be in ress in some parts of the country, to force | General ‘Taylor forward as the Whig candidate wilbout question or answer, avowal or expla- ution as to his opinions, and without the usual arty sanclion and endorsement of a nomination a National Convention. ‘That nothing could pre fully realize our idea of blind partizan de- mion than such a course, and would be unhe- coming cf the spirit and manliness heretofore ganifested by the Whigs of the Union.

Resolved, That we believe with the venera- ble Gallatin, that it is not the mission of Re- wublican America on this earth, to conquer and destroy in whole or in part other nations, but venlighten them by an example of wisdom, orbearance and virtuous rule.

Bribery and Corruption Case in the Legis | lature.—lu the House of Representatives of Louisiana on Tuesday last, Mr. Jones, of Jef- ferson, rose and said, as it was certainly re- ported that a member of this House in absent- ing himself on Monday last, was influenced by corrupt motives, he felt it his duty to give a statement of a conversation he had with the member whose name is so freely used by the public, in order that the House might take what action on it it might deem proper. Mr. Jones then furnished the following written statement. The Hon. Isaac A. Myles, in a conversation with me last Saturday evening, stated that four negroes had been offered him not to vote for a Whig United States Senator. The gentle. inen in the conversation was speaking of the election by the Logislature of a Senator on the following Monday. He did not state by whom the offer wae made. He further stated, in the same conversation, that he was old—that he | | had two negro boys and a woman, which was sufficient for him, and that he wished to pre- | serve his conscience pure, as a good conscience | was worth more than property. Mr. Pilie then introduced the resolutian for the appointment of a committee to investigate | the affair. We see that the recusant Whigs in the Leg. iglature are writhing under the severe but right- eous castigation administered to them by the | Bulletin, and well they may. Three of them have attempted to make explanations, which, however, only tend to involve them deeper in | guilt and shame. ‘The Bulletin deserves the thanks of Whigs ot the Union, for the fearless. ness with which it has exposed the shameful treachery by which the Whig party has been sacrificed in the Lonisiana Legislature. ‘The betrayers have achieved an infamous notoriety 'and their names should be preserved in letters | of living, burning, and eternal shame.— Mobile Advertiser.

Parham and Martin, had some words with one another, from | which they got to blows. A great deal of con- fusion ensued amongst the grave gentlemen | assembled in the Senate chamber, and no small | difficulty was overcome in keeping the combat. ants apart. Some one called the Senate to order by proposing the Hon. Walter Brashear as President pro. tem. whereupon quiet was re- stored and the Senate proceeded to transact more appropriate business.

Our sister thus torn away from all those considera- tions which entwined themselves around earthly friends, without even being permitted to give them her last adieu or give them a parting look, is gone, we trust, to meet the society of the redeemed in heaven, where the loss of earth and earthly friends, will be more than compensa- ted. Let her friends not sorrow therefore, as those who ; have no hope, but rather let them say with the Poet: “ Thrice bappy soul who’s gone before, To an inheritanee divine, To labor, sorrow, sigh no more, But bright in endless glory shine.” [CoMMUNICATED.

Sung is the «cho of tay gladoess ; 1 Jove to sing whea [ am sad, Till song wakes sweet my very sadness. 'Tis pleasant time when voices chime, To some sweet rhyme in concert only ; A song (o me is company— ; Good company, when I am lonely. Whene’er I greet the morning light, My song goes forth in thankful numbers, And ’mid the shadows of the night, I sing me to my welcome slumbers. My heart is stirred by each glad bird Whose note is heard in summer bowers ; And song gives birth to friendly mirth Around the hearth, in wintry hours. ~~ Man first learned song in Paradise, From the bright angels o’er him singing, And in our home above the skies, Glad anthems are forever ringing. God lends his ear, well- pleased to hear The songs that cheer His children’s sorrow ; Till day shall break and we shall wake Where love will make unfading morrow. Then let me sing while yet I may, Like him God loved, the sweet-tongued Psalmist, Who found, in harp and holy lay, The charm that keeps the spirit calmest. For sadly here I need the cheer While sinful fear with pleasure blendeth ; Oh! how I long to join the throng Who aing the song that never endeth. MR. THOMPSON’S SPEECH—-PEACE RU MORS-WHIG MEETING IN WASH. INGTON. * Potomac,’ the Washington correspondent of the Balimore Patriot, in his letter of the 28tb ult., says; Mr. Thompson’s splendid speech, yesterday is the theme of general conversation and eulo- gy, on all hands. Thousandsof copies will be subscribed for by the members of Congrees who listened to its delivery, for cireulation among their constituents. The whole people of this country ought to read it. Some members were a little surprised that Mr: Thompson did not reply to his colleague, Mr. Henly, who spoke next befure him on the message, instead of repiying to Mr. McLane, whose speech was delivered several days pre- viously. But there need be no surprise at all in the matter. Mr. Thompson could not de- scend so low as to make a speech like, or in answer to, that which Mr. Henly delivered. He flew at rather higher game. He knew that by demolishing the young Representative from Baltimore he would get some credit—but none for demolishing Mr. Henly ! The rumor respecting Mr. Trist’s treaty gains believers more and more every day. It is now quite probable that despatches have been received by our Government, informing it of the project of a treaty which Mr. ‘Trist has made already, or which he represents he can make and that Mr. Polk and Secretary Marcy are ve- ry much worried about the matter. All the or- vans and echves of the administration, who get there, we hear, are proclaiming to the country that Mr. Trist has not authority to make any treaty—that he has been recalled, &c. theless, it is quite probable that the project of a treaty of peace is already here in pussession of Mr. Polk and Mr. Marcy. The Whig members of Congress had a con- sultation meeting last night, and resolved that it would be expedient for the Whig party to hold a National Convention some time next Spring to agree upon candidates for President and Vice President of the United States. ‘The place and dime of holding the Convention were not agreed upon. LOCOFOCO CAUCUS. Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. Wasurxeton, Jan, 24, 1848. The Locofvco members ot Congress were in causus to-night,—upon the subject of the nomi- nation for the Presidency. ‘There is some trou- ble among them about who shall bé their can. Never. | lution, offered by Mr. Sevier, of Arkansas, wis adopted—ineffectual motions having been made lo strike out ‘ Baltimore,’ and to substitate. the 4th of July for the 4th Manday in May: Resolved, That it be respectfully recom- mended to our Democratic friends throughout the Union, to hold the proposed National Con. vention, for the purpose of nominating eandi- dates fur President and Vice President of the United States, at the usual time and place, to wit: on the 4th Monday of May next, ia Bal- timore. The Senate of Louisiana have adopted reso- war with Mexico, and expressive of the neces- sily of sustaining the Administration in its fur- ther prosecution for obtaining indemnity by ter- jritory. ‘These resolutions were under ,discus- sion in the House of Representatives. A sword valed at $500 had® been voted to Gen. P. F. Smith. The election of U.S. Senator was to have taken place on the 24th ult. A very large ‘Taylor meeting took place in New Orleans on the 23d ult., at which, resolutions were adopted recoinmending a convention to be held on the 22d of February for the purpose of nominating Gen. ‘Taylor for the Preeidency.—Chas. News. rier and Enquirer eays : I see it stated with great explicitness in some of Mexico, as certain to hasten the emancipa- tion of slavery. I know this rumor to be un- true; Mr. Adams has said, emphatically and repeatedly, that he believed the absorption of was in his view desirable. ‘The use that has been made of his rumored declaration renders its correction proper. From the Pittsboro’ Communicator. OUR TRIP TO FAYETTEVILLE. We arrived at Fayetteville on Friday last, after an unpleasant journey of a day and a half. As we took our leave of the barren sand hills, about four miles from tention was the telegraphic wire, extend- ed from pole to pole, awaiting the appli- cation of electricity for the conveyance of speedy intelligence. Approaching near- er to old Cross Creeks, we espied the star- spangled banner floating in the breeze up- on the beautiful summit called Hay- Mount. As we drew nearer, we beheld. the splendid Arsenal, upon the top of which was planted the flag-staff of the distant banner. A few minutes more brought osin full view of the town, in| which we perceived with gratification and | delight a wonderful improvement since | the late fire; every thing wearing the. appearance of returning prosperity. | The Grand Division of the Sons of Temperance (to which we were appoint- /ed a Delegate) we found in session at the Fayetteville Divsion Room, G. W. AL | White in the Chair, the G. W. P. being | / compelled to return home on account of | | the sudden illness of the W. P. of Salem’ Division. Our proceedings were conduc- ted in harmony and good order, and at | night we adjourned sine die. All the Di- visions in the State, with the exception of three, were represented. We will not at- tempt even a sketch of the proceedings ; | that will be done, no doubt, by our G. R. | S. On the evening previous, the Grand Divison, accompanied by the Lafayette | Division, met a large assemblage of ia- dies and gentlemen in the Presbyterian Church, where they were entertained for. didate, but more apprehension about the Whig the space of an hour, by an able address candidate. In regard to the nomination ot the | ftom Brother Wm. K. Blake of Lafayette Whigs, the Locofucos seem to feel a deeper in- terest, if their words may be taken, than they do for their own! But this is understood—they fear that the Whizs will run a particular can. didate—perhaps they may have no reason to re- Joice if another should be ron, Atthe meeting to-night, a committee of the members of the two houses. which had been appointed at a previous meeting, made a report and recommended that the Locoloco National Convention should be held in’ Bahimore on the fourth Monday of May, (being the 22d day,) in this year. Motions were made to substitute Cincinnati as the place fur holding the meeting, which were rejected. It was then proposed that the meeting should be held on the 4th of July, and this was also rejected. This decision, in favor of holding the meet. ing in Baltimore, is regarded as unfavorable to Mr. Cass. His friends were most anxious to hold the meeting in Cincinnati, where, it was hoped there would be such an evidence given of bis popularity among the people, as to in- duce the Conventipn4o nominate him. . The triends of Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Dallas and Judge defeated it—for the same reason that moved the friends of Mr. Cass. ‘They hope that their particular candidate will be ‘overwhelmingly strong with the masses that may gather on the day in Baltimore. Mr. Buchanan’s friends were especially anxious for Baltimore, and they think they have accomplished all but the nomi. nation of their favorite, by their success in cet. ting that city fixed upon. ° Woodbury saw through the trick and | | Division. It affords us pleasure to state | that the Grand Divsion were comfortably provided for at Brigg’s Hotel, at the ex- pense of Lafayette Division. | On Saturday and Monday evenings we_ attended meetings of the Lafayette Divi- sion, where we enjoyed ourself remarka- bly well, and received the names of sev- | eral additional subscribers. This Division | numbers 76 members, and is in a thriving condition. “Love, purity and fidelity” | . : | mark their mutual intercourse. This is) saying as much as can be said of any oth- | er Division in the State. While in Fayetteville, a telegraphic communication was opened between that place and Charleston. While there, we enjoyed ourself much in our social intercourse, and regret that we were compelled, so soon, to take a parting leave of our numerous friends of | that delightful community. During the recent Quarterly Session of the Grand Division at Fayetteville, the | following among other Resolutions, were. unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the Grand Division of The Locofucus are in higher hopes than they were a few weeks past, They think they see divisions and contentions in the Whig ranks which cannot be healed or reconciled. Are they not mistaken ? Visions and contentions, the offspring of zeal- ous personal preferences, little is to be feared. We must expect to find these in every election. We will nut be disappointed in believing that they will be only made, when the time arrives for giving them up, aids to the success of the candidate whom the Whigs will support.— Certainly we shall take care to give the Loco. weither ‘aid nor comtormy hy the nomi- pation we may make, or the want of concert SMong ourse|ves.

The first marriage was celebrated be- fore God himself, who filled in his own person, the office of Guest, Witness, and Priest. There stood the two god like forms of innocence, fresh in the beauty of their unstained nature—the hal. lowed shades of the garden, and green carpeted earth, smiled to look on so divine a pair. The chrysta] waters flowed by, pure and transparent /asthey. The unblemished flowers breathed ' incense on the sacred air, answering to their | upright love. An artless round of joy from all ' vocal nature was the bymn—a spontaneous nup- ‘tial harmony, such as a world in tune might | yield ere discord was invented. Religien blest | the two children thus, and led them forth into | life to begin her wondrous history. The first ‘religious scene they knew was their own mar- _ riage before the Lord God. ‘They learned to love him as the Interpreter and Sealer of their | love to each other: and if they had continued | in their uprightness, life would havé been a | form of wedded worship—a sacred mystery of : | spiritual oneness and communion. They did rot continue. Curiosity triumphed over innocence. They tasted sin, and knew it in their fall. Man is changed; man’s heart -and woman’s heart are no longer what their first hearts were. Beauty is blemished. Love |isdebased. Sorrow and tears are inthe world’s cup. Sin has swept away all paradisean mat- ter and the world is bowed under its curse.— Still one thing remains as it was. God merci- tully spared one token of the innocent world, and that the dearest, to be a cymbol forever of the primal love. And this is marriage—the re- ligious estate of marriage. This one flower of Paradise is blooming yet in the desert of sin.— Dr. Bushnell.

The startling draw back on nearly all Medicinal Afi- ents has ever been that in their process of purgation and purification, they have also debilitated the system.— Hence purgative medicines have always been regarded for the relief of one disease at the expense of another.— To obviate this, physicians have long sought for an a- gent that would at the same time purge, purify and strengthen, but their effurts were nearly fruitless, and they had almost despaired of success when the labors of science and research were rewarded by a discovery which fully realized the fondest desires of the Medical Faculty, and which is justly regarded as one of the most important tri- umphs that Pharmacy has ever achieved. ‘This impor- tant desideratum is named Dr. Le Roy’s Vegetable Uni- ruptand vitiated humours, and unhealthy accumulations from the body in a manner never before rivalled, and which yet produce no weakness or lassitude whatever, but on the contrary tone the stomach, and invigorate the constitution during the progress of their operations! Dr. Le Roy’s Pills, in fact unite those heretofore irreconcila- ble, but most desirable qualities, evacuation and invigor- ation for they are at the same time™a strengthening pur- gative, and a purifying tonic. The two principal ingredients in Dr. Le Roy’s Pills are Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla. So prepared that each promotes the beneficial effect of the other, the for- mer strengthening, while the latter, through its union fies ; thus they superinduce no torpidity of lassitude of the digestive functions, and hence their operations are atten- ded by no reaction or subsequent costiveness.

Fayetteville, Dec. 20, 1847—5w35 Brandreth’s Pills. This medicine is acknowledged to be one of the most valuable ever discovered, as a purifier of the blood and fluids. It is superior to Sarsaparilla, whether as a so- dorific or alternative. It stands infinitely before all the preparations or combinations of Mercury. Its purgative properties are alone of incalculable value—for these pills may be taken daily for any period, and instead of a weak- ening by the cathartic effect, they add strength by taking away the cause of weakness. There is no good Mercu- ry does, which these pills do not likewise. But they have none of the miserable effects of that deadly specific. The teeth are not injured—the bones and limbs are par- alyzed—no—but in the stead of these distressing symp- toms, new life and consequent animation is evident in ev- ery movement of the body. Brandreth’s pills are indeed a Universal Remedy, for they cure opposite diseases :— they cure Inflamation and Chronic Rheumatism! They cure Diabetts of Urine. They cure Dysentery and Con- stitutional Costiveness. ‘T'hey will cure these apparently opposite diseases, because they cleanse and purify the blood, provided, however, nature is not beyond all human assistance. : In all cases they will be found a safe and simple reme- dy, yet all powerful for the removal of diseases, whether chronic or recent, infections or otherwise. They do not render the system liable to be affected by any changes of temperature. The very cause, or occasion of the bu- man frame being affected by colds and coughs is remov- ed by their use. Therefore, they may be used at all times and seasons without damage, and change of diet, and any extra care is unnecessary. These Pills are for sale at 25 cents per box, by our a- gents in every townin the State,and by the following highly respectable gentlemen in this vicinity, viz: Brown & James, Salisbury ; David Fraley, Rockville ; A. & D.

Although your letter does not convey the di- _rect censure of the Department or of the Presi- dent, yet, when itis taken in connection with the | _revival of a paragraph in the regulations of 1825, touching the publication of private let- ters concerning operations in the field, I am | ‘not permitted to doubt that I have become the subject of Executive disapprobation. ‘To any expression of it coming with the authority of the President, I am bound by my duty, and by my respect for his office patiently to submit ; ‘but, lest my silence should be construed into a tacit admission of the grounds and conclu- sions set forth in your communication, | deem | it aduty which I owe to myself to submit a few ‘remarks in reply. I shall be pardoned for | speaking plainly. | In the first place, the published letter bears “upon its face the most conclusive evidence that it was intended only for private perusal, and not at all for publication. It was published with. | out my knowledge, and contrary to my wishes. ‘Surely, I need not say that I ain not in the hab- it of writing for the newspapers? The letter | was a familiar one, written to an old military | friend, with whom I have for many years in- | terchaged opinions on professional subjects.— That he should think proper to, under any cir- | | cumstances, to publish it, could not have been | In the absence of proof that the publication | was made with my authority or knowledge, | 'Krider is a native of this County, and a _may be permitted to say, that the quotation in _your letter of the six hundred and fiftieth par- | agraph of the superseded regulations of 1825, | | of reports, conveys, though not openly, a meas- | ure of rebuke which, to say the least, is rather ‘harsh, and which many may think not warran- ‘ged in your commynication. I see nothing in | it which, under the same circumstances, I would | not write again. ‘To suppose that it will give | the enemy valuable information, touching our | past or prospective line of operations, is to know very litttle of the Mexican sources of informa.

Enraged@t the interruption, one of the party shot the deg, and was proceeding to burst in the door, when Kenna, whom the noise had aroused, taking out, ‘Come on, boys, fire away—I’m They then moved back and fired a shot, which the intrepid Kenna instantly returned ; and the marauders seeing such a determined opposition, and fearing lest the neighbours would be upon them, took to their heels. Kenna’s nephew and brother, both of whose dwellings are about 300 or 400 yards from his house, came to his assistance, and commenced a tet pursuit, which—to the credit of the neighbous- hood, be it said—was cordially joined in by all the neighbours and the inhabitants of all the houses by which they passed. Afler a run.ef three miles, the pursuers succeeded in capture. ing two of the party, whom they were conduct. ing to Borrisokane, when a party of police came up, and offered to take charge of the persons and handcuff them, which the Kennas refused, and led the prisoners themselves to Borrisokane Sridewell. ‘The third person is well knowmg. The names of the two in custody are Freney and Foley, both inhabitants of Borrisokane.— The happy result, in this instance, is owing al- together to the constant exhortations of the ex. cellent parish priest (the Rev.

Mr. Seth Hunt, of Northamton, gives the following statement of the success of ‘treating with cold water a severe baro and scafd in his family :— Cold water was applied, by inmersion, till the pain ceased—the water being changed as often as it became warm. The part was then kept swathed with wet bandages, a dry woollen one envel- oping them, until the injury was healed. The healing was rapid, and effected with- out leaving a scar. The instant relief which the cold water gave from the ex- cruciating pain was highly gratifying.— North State Whig. DC When Mr. Buchanan received the information that Gen.

Dr. Haywood Pad previously used the Letheon with hap- py effect in tapping a lady afflicted with dropsy, who twice submitted to the opera- tion without suffering the smallest pain. Two or three years ago, he cut out of the cavity of the upper jaw of Mrs. Wood- ard, of this county, a tumor large enough to fill a pint measure. The dangerous operation was performed with the skill and nerve for which Dr. H. isdistinguish- yand was borne, without the aid of a- hy such agent as the Chloroform, with the firmness and fortitude characteristic of the sex ofthe patient under great trials. She soon recovered ; and though the jaw was necessarily split open from behind the ear to the mouth, it was healed up without drawing or disfiguring the face. It could not have been better done in ‘Philadelphia, Paris, or any where else. ~~ Dr. Haywood, also, a short time ago, ¢ut out an enormous tumor from the back ‘of a negro man, which healed up hand- somely, without injury to any of the parts or functions of his system. ’ "These cases are worthy a place in all} the Medical journals, and should be made known to the public for the benefit of the afflicted.

It exploded with a tremendous noise which was thought at Marengo to proceed trom the bursting of | a steamboat boiler. In Sumter county it was seen, and appeared like a white wreathy smoke ranging from North to South. In Dallas county, a gentleman out gunningsaw it distinctly,in a direction North by West, at an altitude of 20 or 25 degs. When it first appeared (he says) it was insignificantly small; but as it approach. | ed its increase seemed to be in a ratio Withgits progress, until it reached its max- imum, which was apparently some two feet in diameter, after which it decreased in the same ratio with which it grew. It was of a beautiful red and vividly bright appearance ; throwing off corusca- | tions as it advanced in its magnificent wrial tour. During its progress I observ- ed it to eject successively two smaller, but collate almeteors.

THE CAROLINA WATCHMAN. Salisbury, N. C. THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 117, 1848. FOR PRESIDENT, GENERAL ZACHARY TAYLOR. OF LOUYSIANA. NATIONAL WHIG CONVENTION. The proceedings of the Whig members of Congress will be found in to days pa- per, recommending that a Convention be held in Philadelphia, on the 7th day of June next. It is highly important that every State should be represented, in or- der that a correct knowledge of public be run, as the Whig Candidate. We re- spectfully suggest to the Whigs the pro priety of holding a District Convention, in a delegate to represent this District in the Convention. Statesville, we think, would be the best place for the delegates of the several counties to meet at. It is nearer the centre of the District than any other Village. Let each county send a full re- presentation, “A CALL.” | Our Democratic friends, we perceive, have | issued a hand-bill caHing a meeting for the pur- | pose of appointing delegates to a District Con- vention, the object of which is to appoint a dele- | gate to the National Convention to be held at , Baltimore ; and also to appoint delegates to a | State Convention. | "This is all right and proper. The hand-vill, | however, is somewhat a curiosity : it has to it a string of thirty-six names, strung on as pro- | miscuously as if they had been drawn from a (hat. Our worthy fellow-citizen, Mr. B. F. | Fraley, has the honor of heading the list. We | | trust he may alwgys be permitted to fill so con- every yet; eight gallons of laudanum | The procéedings of the Rail Road Meet- ing on Thursday last, although it did yot from some cause or other, enlist many of the inhabitants of this town, were in the highest degree creditable and interesting. The speech of Mr. Clarke was able and} was admired uncommonly well. Mr. Fish- er spoke with great ability also: we wish their voices could have reached to those beyond, and about the Capitol, who think the proposed Rail Road ought not to be made. Their views were manly, patri- otic and firm. They could hardly believe that so reasonable a claim as that of be- ing allowed to help ourselves in our own, way, could meet with disfavor in any quarter. But as we had been cautioned that a strenuous opposition would be made, we should prepare for it. The cit- izens in this part of the West, they said, had never received any thing from the State, though they had on all occasions assisted the East in their public works, and they called upon our people to come forward, and with one voice to demand our rights. Mr. Fisher went on to say, that we had not only a claim for a char- ter, bot we had a most righteous claim on the State for an appropriation of mo- ney and that while inere was one vital throl in our bosoms, we ought to, and would demand it. The remarks of Mr. Rufus Barrin.;er, who had lately returned from a meeting of the Stockholders of the Charlotte and Columbia Rail Road Com- pany, were ina high degree interesting and encouraging. We are assured from other sources that there is a spirit and determined resolution in the people of South Carolina to consummate this work atall hazards, and in spite ofall difficulties. We are sorry to hear that some of the Stockholders of our own State are about to retard the work from a misplaced and ill-timed refusal to let their subscriptions gointo the general fund. They are afraid that if the funds should give out before the road reaches the North Carolina line, that the work possibly may never reach the town of Charlotte, and that one of the advantages expected when they subscrib- ed, to wit, the enhancement of their pro- perty would never be realized. We learn on the other hand, that the Stockholders of Cabarrus have consented to any appli- cation of their funds that the Board may make. We greatly deprecate the view taken of this matter by our friends. For our own part, we should as leave think of doubting the bravery of the Palmetto Regiment, as the good faith or persever- ance of the Sonth Carolina Stockholders. He little understands the spirit of this age, and he but dimly scans what is passing, and what is past, who doubts the onward march of this work—stop in South Caro- lina!! There are a thousand impulses at @ encies’ pointed at would get mount many fold times increased. _ These contingenciesare nearat hand, and scarce- ly involve any uncertainty except as to length of time‘ required to complete the projected work. So that from data like these, the closest calcnlators-of the day, some of them sufficiently wary as to Rail Roads, beyond a doubt, have given it as their opinion, that whenever a good Rail Road shall be made from Richmond to Danville, and from Columbia to Char- lotte, the Stock for the intermediate route would command a premium from the day the books were closed. And furthermore, that whenever these two points on our borders shall be reached, and the charter obtained for the intermediate route, all the Stock from Charleston to Richmond will commard a premium in the market.— Surely there are brighter prospects than we have ever before had, and should be sufficient to remove all timidity and dis- trust from our minds. These considera- tions, it will be perceived, do not include the profits on the transportation of pro- duce, but it is not fair to reckon without these: on a good road, such as we trust every part of this will be, this kind of bu- siness is an important eliment of profit.— It is impossible, in the nature of things, that our premises can prove treacherous, for in Georgia, and in a part of South Car- olina, their validity have been proved by a pretty thorough experience. If they hold good as to a part of the plan, much more must they hold good as to the whole. We have gone somewhat at large into this matter, but before we dismiss it we will only add, that we expect without the least difficulty to have this Stock taken by Northern Capitalists if it is not taken at home. But we would much prefer to see it in the hands of our neighbors: “ Ev- ery thing is going to the North,” say our Southern Croakers. Aye, and every thing will continue to go there while our monied men prefer making profits on brokerage and shaving, to aiding the industry of the country. Bank Stocks—Government Stocks—and all investments of this kind do no more good for the world than shav- ing notes does, and for all useful purposes the money thus employed might as well be out of existence. But there is some ex- cuse for Southern gentlemen in being thus the experiments that have come within | their immediate knowledge have been most unfortunate: and we have not any great deal of hope that all our argumen- tation will avail until they shall see some work in a thousand different places be- tween Columbia and Richmond, that will drive on the Iron Horst. From causes like that of which we speak, he may pro- gress slowly on parts of the contempla- ted route, but turn back he cannot, and stop he must not! We hope all these gentlemen will come up to our great meet- ing in June, and as we are all labouring in @ common cause, their participation in our counsels will cheer on the undertak- ing in every quarter. Wesay the same successful result within our own borders. We will not quarrel with them for this caution, but when they shall hereafter see the profits of enlightened enterprise going into the pockets of our Northern friends, they ought not to croak and complain of it.

Samuel Lemly, shall appear in our next. , Mr, Belt resumed and concluded his great speech on the wart quéstion, in the Senate to day. I call ita great speech, for I have high authority for so denominating it. At its close, Mr. Calhoun declared to some of the members of the House, who were present, that Mr. Bell had made a great—a very great speech. I listened to a portion of it, and regret ex. ceedingly that I was‘ unable to be “in at the death” of Governor Cass, for I learn that the worthy Chairman of the Committee on Milita. ry Affairs was most essentially and completely + laid out” by the able and adroit Tennessean ! While I did listen to Mr. Bell, he brought Jef. ferson Davis to his feet im the explanation of his line of policy for carrying on the war, which he avowed to be the holding of the territory of Mexico, to the Sierra Madre mountains, as se- | curity, until we should compel Mexico to come to terms of honorable peace. He said his prayer was that such a peace should be made before the Senator from ‘Tennessee could finish his speech! Mr. Bell said, he joined heartily in that prayer, but he could assure the distin- guished and gallant Senator from Mississippi but that very few of the leading men of the par- ty he was attached to, politically, would agree with him. Certainly the Administration would not. Whatever may formerly have been the Administration’s views as to what it claimed or would take, it now was for holding all Mex- ico by military sway. And this line of policy had, &s he believed from all he had seen and learned, been actually entered upon. He went largely into an.examination of the RAIL ROAD MEETING at * .

More than twenty years ago, Mr. Bell re- membered hearing that distinguished Senator make an argument-wpon a Spanish title, in the Court House in Nashville, which, on account of the great familiarity the gentleman exhibited with the whole subject, filled his own mind with admiration at the time. He well remem. bered the occasion, but could not tell how long ago it was—it might have been more than twenty years—for his own and the Senator's advantage, he dared not say how long it was— possibly it was thirty years!

Itis that the amount of travelling already existing between the North and the South would afford con- stant employment for daily trains both ways. If a pursuit is afforded constant employment and does not thrive it is not the fault of the pursuit but of those who manage it. If it be said we are not sure of engrossing the present amount of tra- velling, we answer we are sure of a great deal more: for granting that the Wil- mington Rail Road may be extended to Manchester, and thus secure a large part of the custom, it must be borne in mind that a few only remain to be finished be- fore there will be a continuous Rail Road from Columbia to Chatanooga, on the Tennessee River, and that measures are in progress to carry it on to Nashville.— As it is, the travelling has already began toturn from Nashville tothis route: Pas- sengers now go by stages to Dalton, the point in Georgia, to which the road is al- ready completed, and thence by the Rail Road to Charleston. When the Road shall be completed to Chatanooga, this tide will be swelled inconceivably, but if ever it becomes finished to Nashville, it will at once divert much of the travelling from the Mississippi, Ohio and Baltimore routes, to this road. Why do we say this? Be- cause from the lower Mississippi it would be by St least one half nearer to any of the Northern cities. Jt would avoid the The Richmond Whig publishes an extract from a letter of a friend in Washington, which speaks of the effect which the reading of this | letter produced in the House of Representatives.

It is represented to have happened in this way. After the inquiry of Mr. Crittenden, which drew out the official confirmation, that Gen. Scott had been supen- ded and ordered before a Court of Inquiry, Gen. Cass, at an interview with the President, re- commended that the policy of the Administra- tion in reference to the war should be disclosed in order that the party might at once form up- on it and go before the country on the issue.— The President, as the story goes signified bis desire to consult the cabinet, and at a subse- quent meeting with General Cass refused to comply with his suggestion. This is the al- leged cause of the breach. It is said further that General Houston was afterwards admitted to confidential council with his excellency, and that his recent speech in New York at Tam- many Hall, reflects the views which he imbibed on that occasion...

Departed this life, at his residence in Jackson, on the ‘ 14th inst., in the 57th year of his age, Col. SAMUEL | LEMLY, Sr.,leaving a disconsolate family, and a large number of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. He | was a native of Rowan County, North Carolina, and resi- | ded in the County of his-nativity until a few years past, when he emigrated to this State, { Mississippi,] and set- tled in Smith County, where he remained until about two | years since, when he removed to this place for the pur- | pose of educating his childfen: When lo! in the midst of this most pleasant task of duty, his labors are arrest- ed by the fell destroyer ; his body returns to its mother earth, there to rest in the still and solemn quietude of | the tomb, until the morning of the resurrection: when | it shall rise and reunite with its disembodied spirit, in _ the immortal freshness of eternal youth, clad in the robe | of righteousness, and bearing the palm of victory, and | shall unite with the blood-washed throng, saying, ‘“ Sal- vation to our God that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.” For many years he had been a member of a close and intimate walk with God. He was a kind | husband, doating father, and indulgent master. In all : his dealings and intercourse with his fellow-men, he was | upright, agreeable and confiding, and as a christian, he | was devoted, firm and sincere. He was devoted to his | family, and employed himself diligently in the pursuit of | means to enable him to educate his children, and thus , prepare them for future usefulness. He was a friend to | industry, morality, temperance, education, and religion ; | but alas! in the midst of his usefulness—in the midst of | wife and children, surrounded by friends, and in the full / enjoyment of all his faculties—he has been summoned to his final rest. If the burning tears of affection, or the | earnest prayers of the faithful, could have availed, he | would have been spared ; but the fatal arrow had been sped from the bow—the Angels of Light had been com- missioned to bear his spirit aloft, and just as sweet coun- ; sel had fallen from his lips to his children, and they had | received the last token of affection from his dying lipsp— | the celestial messenger kissed his breath away.

The man insisted on knowing the freight then, and the captain as firmly refused to strike a ‘trade on Sabbath day.

The thought of numerous vacant seats in churches, and of the multitudes in the region who seldom or never attend public worship, but live in this respect much like the heathen, can- not fail, at times, to affect with deep regret, those who sincerely love the gates of Zion. The writer has often suggested to such, the propriety and duty of going forth in the spirit _ of the gospel, on a sabbath morning or the pre- _ vious evening, and kindly inviting the destitute _or negligent to come in and enjoy the elevating The following extract of a letter, recently _Teceived, shows that the idea is not visionary, but entirely practicable. | Permit me here to state a fact, illustrative | of what may be done by a single individual, when there is a mind for the work. In the con- gregation of Salisbury, Conn., of which I was _the pastor for thirteen years there lived a man, | who was one of the best parishioners a man /ever had. His residence was about five miles from the church. With him the sabbath was a delight, and honored. He loved to go to the | house of God, and to have others to go there too. He not only provided for the comfortable conveyance of his own family, which was small, but fitted a commodious and capacious vehicle for such as had not the means of providing for themselves. In this way he was accustomed to gather pilgrims from his own neighborhood _and by the way, and bring them to the sanctu- | ary, that they also might share in the privileges | he so highly valued. ‘“The same mode of operation might be equally appropriate in every place—perhaps not ,in cities—but it is a fact which shows that something may be done when the heart is in- tent upon a good object. And now that he has gone to his reward, and more than years after my separation from that beloved people, I am happy in recording this testimonial to the mem. ‘ory of my good old parishioner, John Whittle. sey."—N.

Fayetteville, Dec. 20, 1847—5w35 Brandreth’s Pills. This medicine is acknowledged to be one of the most valuable ever discovered, as a purifier of the blood and fluids. It is superior to Sarsaparilla, whether as a so- dorific or alternative. It stands infinitely before all the preparations or combinations of Mercury. Its purgative properties are alone of incalculable value—for these pills may be taken daily for any period, and instead of a weak- ening by the cathartic effect, they add strength by taking away the cause of weakness. There is no good Mercu- ry does, which these pills do not likewise. But they have none of the miserable effects of that deadly specific. The teeth are not injared—the bones and limbs are par- alyzed—no—but in the stead of these distressing symp- toms, new life and consequent animation is evident in ev- ery movement of the body. Brandreth’s pills are indeed a Universal Remedy, for they cure opposite diseases :— they cure Inflamation and Chronic Rheumatism! They cure Diabetts of Urine. They cure Dysentery and Con- stitutional Costiveness. They will cure these apparently opposite diseasés, because they cleanse and purify the blood, provided, however, nature is not beyond all haman assistance. In all cases they will be found a safe and simple reme- dy, yet all powerful for the removal of diseases, whether chronic or recent, infections or otherwise. They do not render the system liable to be affected by any changes of temperature. The very cause, or occasion of the hu- man frame being affected by colds and coughs is remov- ed by their use. Therefore, they may be used at all times and seasons without damage, and change of diet, and any extra care is unnecessary. These Pills are for sale at 25 cents per box, by our a- gentsin every townin the State,and by the following highly respectable gentlemen in this vicinity, viz: Brown & James, Salisbury ; David Fraley, Rockville ; A. & D. W. Honeycutt, Gold Hill ; T. C. Graham, Cowansville ; J. Krider & Son, Mount Vernon. 4w33 Lj LJ _ Tailoring.

LECTURE, Delivered before the Salisbury Institute 7th February, 1848, by Jusivs L. Ciemmons, of Ievington, N.C. Me. Prestpen’ :—I understand the ob- jectof this association to be the promo- ton of knowledze generally, and espe- cially the spread of education among our yeople. Such being its design, | propose offer you th sevening, a few reflections ppon the importance of adopting of our educational systems to the genius of our overnment, and to the spirit of the age. Education has indeed become a hack- neyed theme, and has been so thoroughly discussed, that nothing new remains to be said upon it. It has been demanded by the wants of our race inevery age of the world, and as a thing of prime necessity has been a subject of deep and anxious study for many centuries, and will doubt- less continue to be so in all ages tocome. The familiar truths connected with the | education of the moral and intellectual powers of man are not however, to be thrown aside, merely because they are fa- miliar, but they are to be ott repeated, and again and again pressed home upon the minds of all those who wield to any ex- tent the destinies of our race. The influence of education in forming the character of a whole people is now universally acknowledged. Its conquests have become complete, and opposition is no jonger any where to be found. Its benetits have flowed in such copious, and fertilizing streams all over the land, that the humblest citizen in the obseurest cor- ner, however obstinate his father’s may have been, is now imploring for the ben- efit of his children, the blessings of edu- cation. Ile has seen how it abridges la- bour—how it enhances the enjoyments of the domestic circle—how it aids the law inmaintaining order—how it bears up and illustrates his holy religion—how it perpetuates his civil and religious liberty, ax how it adds to the wealth, character, power, and greatness of his country. The tneducated mein has been made to see the deformities of ignorance, and to feel the immense distance he is left behind the agein which he lives. And while the Masses are being elevated around him, as if by some magic power, Le feels himsel! deserted and alone. I believe the time has come Mr. Presi- dent, When our people are willing to make lMMense sacrifices, if it Were necessary, losecure the education of their families, when the statesman need not fear the Consequences of taxing a general system of primary establishments upon the trea- Mry of the State. The practicability of establishing free thools by law, has been well tested not ®ly in Scotland, Prussia and the New gland States, but also in most of our Southern and Western States. The policy of a free system in a gov- fament Jike ours cannot tora moment be doubted ; for it is an axiom in our system that the stability and perpetuity of our §overnment must depend upon the intel- ligence of the people. It cannot there- fore be impolitic for government to lend lS aid in securing its own perpetuity. The success of free schools in the South by some been doubted, and certainly sg has been done for their establishment Wever, that our people are at last fairly wake to their importance, and that their au prevalence has become inevi- e. The causes which have heretofore re- ded the establishment of free schools the South are very apparent. Our pri- ple schools have generally been good, ple to support them liberally. The fa- 5 ties they have afforded have superce- “to some extent the free system. Be- Private establishments would be en down by adopting the free system, Meompetent teachers would také the’ of those who havé hitherto” done has These apprehensions in my_ esti on have been proved to be groundless, institutions, and from a foolish fear that national prosperity. “equate to the purposes of their creation, | the most sanguine expectations of its | the South than elsewhere ; | believe, | et our people have very generally been | les, fears have been entertained that. government upon an equal footing with the best regulated private establishments. If competent teachers are not sufficiently numerous, schools for their education may easily be made a part of the system.—_| Free schools in the South have doubtless | been retarded by an aversion on the part | of some, to having their children intermin- | gle indiscriminately with the children of | the masses, While many of the poor onthe | other hand, look upon them as charitable it may be thought, they patronize them from necessity rather than choice, refuse | to sustain them. ‘These prejudices, how- ever, | am happy to believe are fast wear- ing out, and will perhaps completely van- ish during the present generation. Free schools are now no longer regard. | ed as charitable establishments, but as. sufficient and necessary educational agen- | cies, as well for the rich as for the poor; | and lying at the very foundations ot our | | | | To render them ad- | they must of course be placed upon a| scale of excellency which may challenge | the patronage of all classes. To bring | the system to perfection will require much | time, but the work is going bravely on, | and will ere long it is to be hoped, meet warmest advocates. Upon what plan these primary es- | tablishments should be laid, and what studies are to be pursued it is not my pur- | pose now toenquire. Much light may be had upon this interesting subject from the | experience of those countries where the | free system has been long enough in vogue to furnish an example. Whether gym- | nastics, military tactics, music, agricul. | ture, business habits or religious creeds | should be taught.—Whether corporeal | punishments, awards of merit, or appeals | to the better feelings of the heart should be adopted—whether libraries, cabinets, and lyceums should be attached to each | school, are all questions of very grave im- portance, and deserve the most enlighten. | ed consideration of those upon whom the | duty of laying their foundations may de- | vole, There is one requisite, however, which | must be attended to in all our schools of learning Whether they be high or low— they must be made to conform to our po- litical institutions, and to the spirit of the | age.or rather, they should keep in ad- vance of the age, since it is their business toteach. ‘They must meet the constantly increasing wants of each successive gen- eration; for asthe accumulation of know- ledge gives rise to new branches of sci- ence, our systems of instruction should be so modified from time to time, as promptly | to embrace each new improvement. Itis to be feared that some of our schools and colleges have allowed their course of in- struction to become somewhat antiquated. Most of the learning and philosophy of the ancients, which was once thought to. be the perfection of wisdom, has now be- come useless lumber, and indeed many of the philosophical theories of recent date, have been entirely exploded by the supe- rior intelligence of the present day. It, would be a guilty wasting of the precious time of the students, to compel him to ex- plore the charnal-house of dead learning. While on the other hand a failure to in- struct him in the great improvements of the age, and to acquaint him with the mighty agencies which move the moral and physical world around him, would be equally censurable. Suppose, Mr. President, that one of the ancient philosophers, Socrates for instance, could suddenly appear among us, endow- ed only with the knowledge of his day, how transcendently ignorant would he ap- pear in one of our well educated and in- telligent circles! Why? Because all the great historical events which have occur- red during the last two thousand years— the rise and fall of nations, and the causes producing these changes—the wonderful! period of the dark ages with all its in. structive lessons—the revelations of-the | New Testament, with its floods of light upon the deep things of the human heart —the discovery of America—the ten thou- sand discoveries of science, and the won- derful trophies of modern genius would | all be to him unknown, and unanticipa- ted. Anintelligent boy of ten years could | teach him! be always discoursing upon the wisdom of the ancient philosophers, and holding them up as the great exemplars of virtue | and knowledge, when both their virtue and knowledge fall infinitely below the commonest standard of our day. Ido not believe with those who charge intellectu- al and moral degeneracy upon the pre- sent age—I am one of those who believe | that there is more useful knowledge— |, more true piety, and more pure morality | now existing in the world than has been | at any former period of its history. It. is believed that many of our Colleges | while they are striving to inculcate the | useless wisdom of the ancients, are far | behind the present age in many of the mod- /ern sciences. Take, for example, the sci- | grad vat -* Primary schools may be placed by | o tUniyersities, _ yas ee “ a eet oS /moral reformation of our race. lation—in religious teaching—in every | effort to move the masses—even in the | Why, therefore, need we to | ‘matters. _ instruction. own ignorance upon this subject, when brought to the test. But why this defi- ciency of learning upon one.of the most interesting branches of science? It is be- cause our mineralogical learning in the schools has not kept pace with the actual experience of the world. It is because too many of our professors are antiquated men; and while they are dozing over their ancient lore in the cloister, the out door world is leaving them far behind it. It is not intended by these remarks to under value the ancient classes; for as a branch of study, their importance in acquainting the student with the philoso- phy of language, and imparting a correct and elegant taste is at once acknowledged by every well educated man. Yet the extent to which even these are to be pur- sued should be regulated by the demands of the age. Nor do I wish to be understood as ad- vocating the introduction of speculative theories, and unascertained truths into our schools for the education of youth; for which they should promptly keep pace with the improvements of the age, their teachings should be confined to known truths, and well established doctrine.— The work of pioneering into the unex- plored regions of science must be left to | learned societies, and erudite men; whose experience and mental discipline may be a safe guard against the facinating influ- ences of new-fangled theories, and who may be able to sift the truth from that | which is erroneous. There is another element which should | be incorporated into all our’ educational systems—I] mean moral suasion. This is | emphatically the great reforming agent of the present day. It is a feature of the age which naturally results from the free- dom of thought so universally enjoyed by | out people. No enterprize depending up- on the popular will can succeed without it. Force is no longer adequate to any purposes of good in the intellectual or) In legis- administration of justice itself, the power of moral suasion has become indispensi- ble. And certainly there is no depart- ment of human labour where it is so sig- nally appropriate as in that of instructing youth. “The understanding is reached through the heart, and the moral man is improved by the very process of cultivating the intellectual. And what indeed is the most splendidly endowed intellectual with- out a corresponding moral power? It is a ship without a rudder—a_ poison with- out an antidote—a burning curse without the hope of redemption ! While it is the bounden duty of our schools of learning to enforce a rigid mor- | ality, and to teach such fundamental prin- ciples of religion as are admitted to be | orthodox by all our people, there is a point, beyond which, neither public sentiment, nor the legitimate business of literary teaching will allow this to be carried.— It must always be remembered that the business of our schools is to impart a tho- rough course of literary and scientific in- struction, and they cannot be permitted to | usurp the prerogatives of the Church.— | To the pulpit—to parental instruction—to bible, missionary, ana other religious so- | cieties must be entrusted under our polit- ical system, the main responsibility of su- perintending the religious culture of our people. In this country we have no es- tablished creeds or authoritative code of morals inforced by law. Here the reli- gious character of our people must be moulded by voluntary effort, and the su- | preme authority in this great work must | be conceded to the church and its depen- dences. For the faithful performance of this work the church is held responsible to public opinion, and whenever enlight- ‘ened public opinion shall perceive any thing pernicious in its teachings, it is due to ourselves, and the integrity of our gov- ernment boldly to censure. Indeed, the ‘only way in which the church and the dependences can remain potent for good, is by maintaining their distinct classifica- tion as the only lawful religious teachers, and the chief moral instruction of our peo- ple. It must not be our schools of learning cannot properly make religious creeds a department of study, that therefore our youth will go un- taught in these interesting and important ed theological seminaries under the pat-| ronage of different denominations, where ‘creeds, and doctrines are ably, and sys- There is no other’ country upon the globe where the wants , of man’s moral nature are so adequately | tematically taught. supplied; and owing to our peculiar po-| litical organization, there is no other coun- try where such an entire separation be- tween literary, and theological instrumen- talities is so imperatively demanded. My remarks have thus far been confin- ed to some of those features which, as I ties, however, 0c and are also.entit { | by sharing with it the responsibilities of | | | ‘supposed that because | IXvery where our happy coun- | ‘try abounds with the means of religious | In addition to the teaching | of the pulpit—of the fireside—of the pub- | ‘lic press, and the voice of universal na- ture ; there are many regularly organiz- | tained principles; but learned’ societies are designed to move in untrodden paths. Their labors should be directed to the dis- covery of new scientific truths—to new applications of known principles—to the correction of established error, and to the extension of human knowledge beyond its present limits. Our own country beyond all others, presents a splendid field for the researches of learned societies. All the | natural, and moral laws of the universe | are in operation here upon the most mag- nificent scale. The extent of our territo- ry—the variety of our soil and climate— | the diversity of our population and the fostering influences of our most excellent system of government, open up to the en- quiring mind themes more abundant, and | offer incentives more powerful than can elsewhere be found upon the globe. Such societies have already done much for the advancement of knowledge in Eu- rope, and promise to be still more success- ful here. They are in every way fraught with good. They concentrate talent, and bring together the scattered elements of knowledge from every corner of the land —they encourage timid merit by affording | | it an easy access to public attention and | its productions. The Salisbury Institute from its locality | _has the power of rendering its labours” | pre-eminently useful. ‘The researches of /each of its members may be periodically | made known at its meetings, through lec- | tures and essays upon every variety of interesting topics. Subjects for investi- gation may be thrown out and the whole mind of the Institute put to work upon the large field of inquiry so happily pre- sented by our great country. The philo- | sophical, mathematical and natural sci- ences—Chemistry and its practical appli- 'eation—Natural History —Botany—Min- eralogy—Geology—Agriculture—the ed- | ucational systems of different countries— | History—Statistic—New discoveries and_ _inventions—Icthics, metaphysics, and poe- try— Meteorological and astronomical ob- | servations—Electricity—Livery theory of | _ knowledge and a thousand kindred sub- jects, would afford abundant material for ‘the most labored researches of each mem- | ber of the Institute from year to year.— These and similar topics might occasion- ‘ally be made the subjects of extempora- neous debate, and the Institute, in addi- ‘tion to its stated meetings, might hold pro- | tracted sittings once or twice a year, When 'it would resolve to consume days, or even | _ weeks, in these interesting labors. Such protracted meetings are common among | the promoters of religion and party poli- | | tics, Why may they not become equally so_ The In- | | among the friends of learning ? stitute might also connect with it such | auxiliary instrumentalities as would fur- | | ther its objects; among which a corres- | pondence with learned men at home and abroad, upon scientific subjects, would be of much value. ~ The usefulness of the Salisbury Insti- tute with its foundations thus broadly laid | would be at once apparent, and its influ- | ; ence upon the reputation of upper North Carolina would very soon be felt. The situation of the Southern States |imperatively demands that our literary men should boldly strike for higher attain- ‘ments in learning. It is not only our duty | to push forward general education among the masses, but as there must be inevery | country that would sustain its literary re- | putation, an erudite few—giants in intel- | lect, and prodigies in }earning, whose con- ‘troling influence gives nationality to the literature of the State—our efforts should also be directed to their production. | It has been said that we have no na- | tional literature in this country, and if, ‘that saying be true, it is because we have | left the abstruse sciences to the plodding | German, while we have been content to take second hand the result of his labors. ‘It is because we have been satisfied with | mere learning, while the educated in oth- | er countries seek to attain erudition.—~ | Why may not the Hebrew, and Sanscrit | be as well understood here as in Germa- | ny? Why may not the labors of La- | Place and Newton be as well performed | here asin Europe? The American mind is as vigorous, comprehensive and inven- | tive as the mind of any other people, and | the American hand is as skilful to execute. The myriads of worm eaten volumes piled | in the crowded libraries of Europe are much less important to high attainments than is generally supposed. Books may ‘soon be made sufficiently numerous here for all valuable purposes, for we have the ‘wealth to purchase and the skill to select them. Any deficiency however, in this | particular, is more than compensated by | | | | | } { \ ‘the superior vivacity and boldness of the ‘American mind. The time has come when there must be consert among the educated men of the South. Our text books, and particularly those designed for elementary schools, are becoming the insidious instruments for | undermining our peculiar institations.— | They must be written by Southern men— the safety of the South demands it. Great events are approaching, and it is the dic- tate of wisdom and self-preservation to guard well every avenue to the vital parts.

Twenty years will not elapse before bro- ther will hold daily and hourly converse with brother, the one standing upon the coast of Oregon, and the other sitting quietly in his ehamber at New York. I believe before this generation shall pass away, the force of our example upon the governments of the Old World will defy all control, and at a moment when least expected, suddenly sweep before it the tottering dynasties of Europe. The day has already come, when our commerce has outstript that of every nation upon earth except Great Britain, and we are | gaining upon her with rapid strides.

In the midst of these convulsions of the world, America will stand as the proud exem- plar of all that is free in government, and great in intellect. How fearfully respon- sible will be the position of the next gen- eration. and how deep and wide should the foundations of their intellectual and moral education be laid! It is yet a pro- blem how high a whole people may be elevated in the scale of mental improve- ment. There isno other country on earth however, where that problem is so likely | to be solved as in our own happy Union. The history of literature and science du- ring the last seven centuries does indeed Philoso- phy has triumphed over land and sea; she has. almost by power creative, press- ed into the service of man thesubtile agen- cies of the atmosphere and the magnet; she is every day, like the enchanted ad- venturer of the Arabian Nights, unlocking _to view richer treasures, and developing to man still more splendid resources in the arcana of nature; she has marked her pathway in the fields of morals by a thousand trophies, and thrown around po- litical science a grandeur which free men alone can appreciate; yet science has | only commenced her career, and man is destined ultimately to stand “ but little , lower than the angels.” What changes, Mr. President, have been wrought by the lapse of years! Time was, when the short lived meed of physical valor, to be won at the joust and tournament, was the object of the highest ambition, and summit of the lofiiest hope. Gallant youth saw no higher | gem—age itself courted no honors more splen. | did. Success here, was indeed the surest pass- port to distinction, in every sphere of life. Mere animal courage was the pivot upon which all human affairs turned. But these were the dark ages of the world, when man erected an altar | to himself, and offered oblations to brute force |__when the human intellect chained down by a thousand years of ignorauce and superstition, glimmered under the thick cloud only as the dy. : ing lantern fly in the darkness of a dungecn.— | What though nature did spread before man all her rich and abundant themes for study—what though the star fretted canopy thickly studded with the gems of night, unrolled its majesty and | { grandeur above him—what though the “ glad waters of the dark blue sea” invoked from him ' thoughts as boundless and a soul as free” he | was Jost to all the beauties of nature, and in- sensible to the wovoings of his lofty destiny !— | Man was an automaton, how could he think 7? He was an ingeus belua, how could he philoso- phise ? But, Mr. President, it has already been an- nounced that “the days of knight errantry are | past,” and the achievements of mere physical prowess have long since been forgotten in the triumphs of mind. Man stands to-day, “* re- deemed, regenerated, and disenthbralled ”’; and when we contemplate him in his own great- ness, and in the vast relationship which he bears to all that is around and above him—when we view him as the grand focus, where even the | eminations of the great Deity himself are made to concentrate, or as the centre of creative de- | sign, around which the offerings of nature and of heaven are made incessantly to play, we are assured that the grand drama of human improve- ment is only just begun, and that the cultivation of the intellectual and moral nature of man, is fraught with an immortality of interest. Then let all those who bow at the shrine of knowledge, kindle up her fires afresh, and push forward with renewed ardor, her conquering banners ! And let the work of education be laid upon foandations commensurate with the present and prospective greatness:of our people ! No man ought to countenance immoral y in any way. * & 4 Atte: © Papen - ee. Sr eae ; : Zz = | The train met Gen.

We make the following extracts from the Free American of the 24th ult.: From the Interior.—The mail from Orizaba arrived here on Saturday last ; papers up to the [lth from the city of Mexico have been re- ceived by merchants of this place, and dates Queretaro up to the 8th inst. | A letter inserted in the Monitor Republicano of the 7th dated Queretaro, January 4th states the members of Cungress were coming to that.place very slowly, and that at the last meet- ing of that body on the 28th of last month very few members were present. A brigade of the American army left Guaji- malpe for Lerma on the 7th, and took posses- sion of that place without opposition. A small sheet published in Puebla, called the Boletin, says that the portion of the State under the Mexican Government, was in a state of revolution ; that:some of the people were in favor of nominating Gen. Rea, Dictator, and wished to overthrow the present Mexican Governor. The North American says that the Ameri- cans took possession of Toluca, without the least Opposition, and that an American Governor was to be appointed. The Monitor of the 11th, says that the train was to Jeave the city on the 16th, for this place. The train which was to leave yesterday for Jalapa, has been detained by order of Gen. Twiggs. We have beeninfurmed that it would leave this morning. The Acro Iris of yesterday states that all the newspapers received at that office, assert that the Mexican authorities are negotiating for peace. This is a mistake, either of the Arco Iris or of the papers received by that journal. We have seen a letier of a later date than any newspaper received here, from an unquestiona- bly good source, which states that there is no more prospect of peace at present that when the distant from here on the route to Victoria. The object in sending troops to Santa Teresy is to break upthe Mexican custom house established there, and to prevent the collection of duties from traders com- ing to this place or going to the interior, and to give them protection as far as cir- cumstances will admit. This is a good beginning, and an augury of what is to follow. Next, San Fernando, and then Victoria must be occupied, and so on un- til our troops are spread over all the coun- try between us and the mountains, giving protection to the people and security to trade in every quarter. Our troops scat- tered over the country, the trade of Mat- amoros will be quadrupled, and the in- creased duties collected will be more than adequate to defray all expenses incident to the maintenance of troops at posts thus widely separated. Besides, the inlabi- tants of the country will be brought im- mediately in connection with our people, who are ever inciting them against us, spirit of friendship will grow out of our intercourse with them, the same as wit- nessed in this city, and in nearly every city now occupied by our troops. The good to result from this wide-spread friend- ship is incalculable. From the N. O. Picayune Feb. 11. FROM THE RIO GRANDE.

By the last arrival from the Brazos we have received several private letters, from which we glean a number of items of in- where. Information had been received across the country at Saltillo, which would indicate some little work ahead for the American troops sent from Santa Fe to take possession of Chihuahua.

We copy the Flag’s paragraph : «We anderstand that a duel was fought at Camargo, a few days ast, betwe Joshua Collet and Cet Mexantter Wilkins, both of the 10th Infantry, now stationed at that place, in which the for- mer was killed. We have not learned to guide them thither. San Carlos, they were unable to satisfy their wants, and were advised to proceed to the Presidio-del-Norte—the Mexicans telling them that there was no garrison there, and that they had nothing to fear. The squire and party determined to fol- low their advice, and set out; but in the meantime, as afterwards appeared, the Mexicans had sent off a courier to Pre- sidio, with the information that a party of Americans were on their way to that place. Ignorant of this circumstance they in due time arrived at the Presidio—were kinaly received by the old padre, and con- sidered themselves perfectly safe. Din- ner was prepared for them, and a table Spread at one end of a large “ sola,” their arms being deposited at the other. While Mexicans rusbed in, seized their arms, and took the whole party prisoners. The old priest appeared to be quite delighted with the success of his ruse, but received anything but blessings from the party, who regarded him as a second Judas Is- cariot. The squire and companions were all conveyed to Chihuahua, and incarcer- ated in prison, where they still remained the particular causes of difficulty have been told the meeting arose ne a dispute between Captain Wilkins and Captain Postley of the same regiment, in which Capt.

Urrea, and we hardly know how he is looked upon by the Mexican Government. The Flag states that the last arrivals from Monterey bring no news of importance. MOBILE, FEB. 12. LaTrr rrom Mexico.—The Iris arrived here last evening from Vera Cruz, whence she sailed on the 7th inst. She brought over an officer named Frayner (we are not certain that the naine is spelled properly) as bearer of de- spatches from Gen. Scott. He was in great haste, and seemed to be full of important mat. ter. Attempts were made to “ pump” him, but they failed. He lefi the city of Mexico on the 3d inst., and started last evening for Montgom- ery. It is supposed that he carries important despatches with him. We endeavored to find some news, but were unsuccessful. We suppose the despatches were have as little news of their import at Vera Cruz as we have here. SUSPENSION OF GEN. SCOTT. The New Orleans Picayune thus speaks of this outrage of the Aministration : The Suspension of Gen. Scott.—The blow has been struck. Afier long and timid hesita- ‘tion, the President has summoned courage for the act, and Gen. Scott has been suspended in _his command of the army in Mexico. Upon refering to the Senate’s proceedings on ‘Tues- day, the 25th, our readers will see the an. | nouncement made by Mr. Cass in reply toa question of Mr. Crittenden. For a month past the country has known that the blow was me. terest, that have reached us from no other source, and which we have not seen else- ditated ; we have had rumors that the thing was done, but the country wou!d not be lieve it. Now that the deed has been perpetra- ted, we fee] that the people of the country will pronounce .t an outrage. We have no partialities for Gen. Scott, but it is affectation to deny that he has proved him- self one of the great captains of the age.

Scott, no /one snpposes—it will make him a thousand quietly appeasing their hunger, a party of friends where he had ten before; but thus to wound the pride of a veteran, in the very pres- ence of the wily foes who now tremble at his aspect and his name, this is an outrage. Nor as a mere measure of policy does it ap- pear to us that this proceeding can be defend- ed. Atthe very moment of putting in execu. tion a complicated system of military measures of a stringent charactor, calculated beyond any. thing we have yet done to provoke our enemy and unite every element of resistance—certain- ly this would not seem to be the time for with- drawing our great commander. And equally impolitic does it appear to us to devolve upon another the execution of plans conceived at | Washington in the general outline, but of which all the thousand details must have been entrus- ted to Gen. Scott, and upon which his mind must have been engaged for months. It would seem the dictate of bare prudence to allow him to superintend the execution of his plans. We mean no disrespect to Gen. Butler, upon whom this important task will now devolve. Of his courage, conduct and capacity, none think more bighly than we do. But the substitution of any even an abler soldier for Gen. Scott at this mo. ¥ | quarter, as the origin of this evii. ment we should pronounce as rash and impru. dent in the conduct of the war, as it is flagrant. ly unjust to Gen. Scott personally. ‘The point we would make is, that this arrest is in every aspect most inopportune. We have not room to argue the matter, not even to insist as we would do upon the hideous moral effect Gen. Scott’s suspension must have upon the discip- line of the army and the tone of feeling among its officers ; but one word as to the author of all this mischief. We cannot believe that one of the distinguish- ed Generals placed in arrest by Gen. Scott, and who has now been relieved therefrom, has counselled or remotely favored the present in- vestigation of charges against his Commander. On the contrary, we believe we have good rea- sons for saying that he foresaw the evil con. sequences which would ensue from pressing in- quiry into alleged wrongs at this moment. We are assured that he demanded investigation at such time as would not interfere with the exi- gencies of the service.

Scott we have renewed occasion to regret the most de- plorable appointment which Mr. Polk has made since the commencement of the war. Once before has this man endeavored, through a con- temptible correspondence, to filch from the brows of his illustrious commander the thick clustering honors of the victories of the Valley of Mexico. He was fuiled in the unworthy purpose. His own partizans were made to blush for him and to denounce his shameless- ness. Again, in a mode equally indirect and unworthy, has he aimed a blow at his com. mander, and this time with a surer, deadly aim. But the justice of his countrymen will again in- terpose to shield the intended victim. The blow will recoil upon him who aimed it; and stripped of his authority, General Scott will this day stand higher in the affections of his countrymen than if he were still dictating law to Mexico in all the bravery of a conqueror. CHARLOTTE AND S. C. RAIL ROAD. Fifteen Stockholders of the Charlotte and South Carolina Rail Road have call- ed a meeting to be held on the 14th inst. (Monday last.)

The movers of this meeting and those who agree with them complain in detail. that the Engineer of the Charlotte Road has devoted more time to the survey of the route adopted than he bestowed on all the other routes, and charge that the Ri- ver route was not only imperfectly, but | hastily surveyed.—that the present loca- ; ion is not in accordance with the under. | standing and policy which should govern the enterprize—which is, that the road should be constructed on the cheapest and most practicable route. They further, complain that the Chester Meeting was held at two early a day from the first pub- | lication of the notice, to ensure a full and legitimate representation of all the stock- holders, at this most important of all mee- tings. Lastly, they rely upon the fact, | that the votes controlling the location | terprize, &c. were cast by officers of the Company, in violation of the provisions of the eighth sec- | tion of the charter of the Company.

Why should be wihbold it—especially, if his remarkable sory of the birds be true, which, indeed, we do pot doubt. The number of birds seen together on this occasion, of the description ‘named, is eertainly much larger than we ever saw togeth- er,or heard of being together before ; but we pate no doubt of the fact, that Hawks do occa- tionally assemble. We have often scen as ma. yas six or eight thus whirling in the air.— What brings them together, considering their general character, is somewhat mysterious, un- | less for the reason, that “birds of a feather | thud flock together.” This reason, however, may not be satisfacto- ryylo all, and we trust that those who are not salisied with it, will feel sufficient interest in the question to submit their views for the bene. it of the public.

A letter from Washington to the New York Express states that the order for Mr. Trist’s arrest s founded upon a law passed in 1799, du- ring the Presidency of the elder Adams, but which has been ever since a dead letter, which provides. that if any citizen ofthe United States shall, without the au- thority of his Government, commence or tary on any oral or written correspon- dence with any foreign Government, or with any officer or agent thereof, in rela- fon to any dispute or controversy with United States, or shall councel, aid W assist in any such correspondence, he meanor, and on conviction thereof, shall td by an imprisonment for a term not les than six months nor exceeding three | years !

Reg. {For the Carolina Watchman.] To the Christian Stiller---No. 2. My Dear Friend—I trust you have ad- mitted the proposition advanced last week —that asa disciple of Christ you must not injure your fellow-man. He requires you not only todo no harm, but to do good. He has taughg you to love your neighbor as yourself. Whenever you find a man in distress, it is your duty as a christian, to relieve him if you can. Christ has taught this in the parable of the good Samaritan, Luke 10, 30—turn there and read. The Samaritan relieved the poor wounded half dead traveller, though his enemy by birth—your Master would have good,” 1 Tim. 6,17. You must not only obligation to glorify God. “For ye are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are His.” 1 Cor. 6, 20. “ Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God,” 1 Cor. 10, 30. It is your duty then to make doing good to man and glorifying God the great business of your life. Christ has enjoined this upon you, and you, in taking upon you the name of Christ, have pledged yourself to obey | Him. The great question then for you to | decide upon entering into any business | should be, “will it tend to the good of | man, to the glory of God?” Not, as is | too generally the case, “Can I make mo.- | ney atit? Will it put me out of debt— make me independent?” Let ustry then to find out whether stilling is a business | that tends either to the good of man or | the glory of God. It may be set down as | _a truth that whatever promotes the real | happiness of man tends to the glory of | God. Will you then be kind enough my christian friend to point out in what way | your hundreds of gallons of whiskey and | brandy promote the real good of man, or | the glory of his Creator. Isit by placing that stout young man ere he has reached | the prime of life under the horrid inflo- | ence of the delirium? by the frightful monsters that come before his scorched brain and terrify his guilty soul? Is it by the palsied hand and bloated cheek, and tattered garments of him that has so long quaffed your liquor? Isit by the big, loud oaths that burst from that crowd of drank- ards? Are these, and such as these, the evidences that your business tends to the glory of God! The world then is full of them. Can you think of any better proofs ? I will give you till next week to study out any way in which stilling clearly tends to the glory of God. Study hard now, but | impartially. Recollect that still-house of | yours goes down unless you can satisfy your conscience that you are glorifying God by it. I trust at least, that you, asa true christian, are determined to abandon it if it does not promote the glory of God. Your most sincere friend, SIMON COLDWATER. Davie Co., Feb. 1848. en il Death of Co!. Samuel Lemly, Sr. At a meeting of the Congregation in the Presbyterian | Charch, in Salisbury, the following resolutions were of- | fered and unanimously adopted : Feeling it always proper and consistent with Chris- | tian character, to notice the afflicting dispensation of God’s providence, not only to learn how frail we are, | but to obey the Divine command, “ weep with those | that weep,” we are ready to give expression to our feel- | ings, with regard to the recent removal by death of Col. | Samuel Lemly, of Jackson, Miss., who was formerly a | Ruling Elder in the Presbyterian Church in Salisbury. While associated with us, he was a zealous and faithful officer in the Church of Christ. Nor can his memory | soon pass away. He was especially remarkable for his | activity in building up and sustaining Sunday Schools, Bible Classes, Temperance Societies and Prayer Meet- ings. And whatever his hand found to do, he did it with his might. Therefore, ' inst. | Female Department. » Thata copy his bereaved family, with On motion of Mr. D. A.

From Yucatay.—Intelligence from Me- | rida to the Ist of Janunry states that the Congres of Yucatan had voted an extra | ippropriation to sustain the war against he Indians, and had authorized the ofh- rs of the government to reside togeth- rat any place where they deemed it} most convenient. The town of Ichmul was taken posses- | tion of by the Indians on the 24th Decem- ber, after having been evacuated by Don Miguel Bolio, who, at the head of his t lowards Peto. Bolio, with corps of four hundred men, sustained himself for sever- | Widays against the repeated attacks of | @x thousand savages. and only retreated this little band was exhausted with > igue, and further resistance would on.- | have exposed them and the families | der their protection to the ferocity of ip enemies. On the 26th December taor Rosado etfected a junction with Bo- bat Peto, after overcoming many diffi- | ties. The savages had evacuated the bwn of Nahalam, being-apprehensive of attack from the Yucatan forces. The Revista Yucateca describes the de- able condition of the peninsula as ow- gtothe whites having considered the Mdians as their equals, having bestowed Mon them the rights of citizens, furnish- Mischools for their instruction, and at- Rmpted to bring them to a state of civil- Mation. Any other European or Ameri- M0 people, says the Revista, would long Bnce have exterminated these savages M their atrocities and cruclties.

Nevertheless what is easily gained may be speedily lost. Law and order, society and morals, require education. Wonder what should become of the children of a people who should be more scattered than those of the West now are?) Who might furnish the schoolmas. ter when the Methodist preacher might not be able to find a way to their habitations ? I have been thinking again what a vain thing it is, in many cases, for people to break up their old homesteads and move a thousand miles, and more, in search of fat lands. In an- | other letter | have glanced at the disappoint. ments, and heart-rending lusses sometimes at- tending such removals, by sickness and death. But whatis the gain?

But the true | cause of discontent, is not so much in the pov- erty of the Jands, as one’s own disordered spir- its. j of spirits, relaxes his endeavors, and then blames the lands for a deficiency which exists mainly in himself. If he had not spirits and perseverance sufficient for the single disadvantage of poor land, while he was surrounded with many countervail jing advantages, what is he to do when with | the single advantage of rich land he finds hitn- self beset with all manner of inconveniences?

Come from where they may, they never find their first great want supplied, active spirits and a patient industry ; and without these, there are no lands on the surface of the whole globe which can make a man happy or contented. I have seen in the Southern Christian Advo. , cate a letter from Cypress circuit, given an ac- count of three meetings in that circuit, at which there had been four hundred and twenty-five dollars raised for missions. How much of this money, though I, might the same people have contributed at three meetings in an Arkansas or Texas circuit, supposing them to have re- moved thither in the Jast ten years?) How much?) AndI found myself at a loss for the answer. Land, whatis land ? Cypress circuit are what the world calls poor and their lands poor; yet that circuit is good for as much money to the cause of missions, from year to year, as an entire Western con. | ference, They are dwellers at home, content- ed with their native pines, and not movers to and fro on the face of the earth. ‘Then I thought, suppose these men of Cypress circuit , should be removed one by one to our Western | border, so gradually asto preserve to their suc- 'cessors the besefit of the present prevailing in. | ‘fluence at their old homes, and their removal should have been complete, and their present residence fully occupied by others, suppose jt | should be offered me to choose between a col. lection for missions among these former Cy- press people attheir new homes in a Western circuit, and one among the new comers, their successors in the old Cypress circuit, which of | the two should I choose? And I felt to de- ‘cide promptly, for the new comers in the pine lands of Cypress men moved off to the fatty West. Whathas become of the mass of mem- bers lost to the churches in the old States by removals to the new?) ‘They have ted by thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, in the loss of them; but how many, and who, | have they been. reckoned whither they have I had supposed that they had gone for them chief among the brethren, leading the frontier churches in the old paths, pillars in the temple, lights in the land; but I am told it is quite otherwise with the most of them, who, if they are in the church at all, are barely so, while the men of influnnce and distinguished worth are chiefly to be found among those who came to the country unconverted, and have been converted and brought into the church first and only at their western homes. EWBANK’S HYDRAULIC’S. No. 4 of this valuable standard work has just heen issued from the press of Gree- ly and McElrath.

It is in the mind and not in the body, .that we are to search for the image of God. Next to the study of-the Divine Mind— the character, government and will of Gov- we should hold in estimation, the study of the human mind. Of angels, or other cre- ated beings superior to man, we know but little; and the study of their nature and employments, must be reserved for another state of being. But the study of the human soul is now within our reach ; and it is fitted to awaken the deepest in- | terest. “The proper study of mankind, is man.” The benefits of this study are numerous. 1. It serves to strengthen, expand and elevate the mind, and prepare it for the pursuit of all knowledge. Knowledge is 'gained by mental effort, and this effort is constantly fitting the mind for still high- er attainments. Bo other study can do this more successfully than that of mind itself. 2. Mental Philosophy is the basis of self-knowledge. It is the sudy of our na- ture, necessities, andcapacities. Itimakes us acquainted with ourselves ; for it is the | study of our thoughts, feelings, and con- | duct in the various relations we sustain. | 3. We thus learn to disczpline our minds, | and to direct them into right courses, and | to useful ends. In all efforts for self im- | provement we have occasion for just views of philosophy of mind. We must neces- | Sarily be acting upon principles, either ‘of true or false philosophy, at every step, ‘in self education. , 4. Our knowledge of others will be in proportion to our skill in Mental Philoso- | phy ; which is but another name for a knowledge of human nature. This knowledge is sometimes gained 'by the study of men, in the intercourse | this, as in every other science. It is a | profound science ; and books, teachers, and direct efforts are as necessary in this, as )in any science Which claims our attention. | 5. This knowledge is of vast importance to the teacher. He has need of the most ‘thorough accquaintance with mind, both ‘in teaching and governing the young. This is tree of the teacher in every de- | partment ; whether it be inthe family cir- ‘cle, the common school, the academy or /high school, the college, or professional | seminary, or the sanctuary. All, who in any relation er-station attempt to teach and influence others, need a knowledge of mind. 6. Equally important is a knowledge of the mind in conversation, writing for the press, in public speaking, in the prac- tice of the law and medicine ; in mercan- tile and commercial pursuits ; in the stu- dy of history and languages; in framing ‘and administering human governments ; in all efforts for reforming the manners or morals of men in political action and political economy. It is useful in paint- ing and sculpture, and in all the efforts of genius, and the creations. of imagina- tion in every art. 7. The study of the human mind is _ pe- ‘culiarly fitted to lead us to the study of ithe Divine Mind. The more we know _of ourselves, the more shall we feel our need of the knowledge ot God; and no other created object can give us higher ideas of wisdom, power, and benevolence ‘than the human mind, _ Its faithful study, in connection with the truths of the Bible, is needed to qualify us for his presence and service, and for the intercourse of all holy and intelligent beings, | } | | | | | | State of fLorth Carolina, CABARRUS COUNTY.

But, on the continent, firms of con- | sidereble importance continue to stop pay- |; Ment; and the reaction of the late crisis 'in England is very severely throughout | | Europe and in other parts of the world. __ The directors of the North and South | Wales Bank, which suspended in Novem- | ber last, have made arrangements to re- | sume payment in the early part of Feb- | ruary. Lord Palmerston has protested against | the forcible levying of taxes upon English |residents in Mexico, to support the war with the United States. These levies were made some six months since, and the English residents then protested a- gainst it. The King of Bavaria has ordered those | Jesuits who have taken refuge there, af- ter banishment from Switzerland, to leave within three days. The editor of the Presse (Paris paper) states that he had seen a letter, written from on board an American ship of war, dated the 16th, off Messina, which states that a fire of artillery had been opened on that place. It is mentioned in advices from Berlin, that a state of business approaching panic had been witnessed on the Bourse, in con- sequence of the nature of operations aris- ing from the general aspect of political and commercial affairs. The King of Sweden has taken um- and Prussia, neglecting to consult him on the proposed intervention in the affairs of Switzerland, his majesty having been, as he alleges, a party to the treaty. Our Paris letters of the 28th January, State that anxiety respecting the situation which we have also announced, was held the disaffected to revolt. The King of determined to refuse making any conces- | sions to his people. Intelligence from Rome, of the 18th ult., states that the account of the insurrection in Sicily had produced a deep sensation in that capital. It was reported that the ustrian ambassador, in compliance with tructions he had received from his court, ase any serious disturbancestook place in the kingdom of Naples, had demanded a passage through the Roman dominions for an army of 30,000 men, to assist King Ferdinand in putting down the revolt.— ~ ? 7 ‘ \ . : with his name on it, also stained, were cap- ypis the first of the kind put up east of the the Indians in a corner that Anglo-Americans | the mind of man is of more value than | *!© ‘!ttues find ample place. pat Naples, lest its presence should occa- | tured, and a Mexican officer, whose skull was ganies and has surprised the good may have room to run wild: and as for civili- | pis body. | > We cannot say much to our daughters about | sion a revolutionary movement, had, on | fractured by being thrown by his horse against gecbanics ot Philadelphia. zation, we tnust perfect that by the patent pro-| Jt is the mind that raises man above their being hereafter wives and mothers, but | Treceipt of the intelligence of the insur- | a stone wall, in flight, before dying, said Ja- | | rection of Palermo, sent directions to Ad- | rauta was wounded.

The Spirit of infatuation still prevails among the workmen, and they continue to absent themselves from the works, while the un- abated stagnation of business affords no prospect that the masters will be enabled to give way to their demands. _ The colliers and miners are also par- tially on strike, and a few disturbances have taken place in the neighborhood of Kindswinford and Dudley, by the exhition of violence on the part of the unemploy- ed against the more reasonable of their companions who have returned to work. So great is the distress of the working classes at Vienna, that the funds of the public pawnbroking establishment has ces which it has made on pledges, and it has consequently contracted a loan of 1,000,000 florins (about £104,000.) The people of Venice and Milan amuse themselves by writing words applauding the Pope on all the dead walls, and the Austrian authorities are forced to employ a number of men to whitewash these ob- noxious inscriptions, which are regularly effaced in the morning, and as regularly re-written during the night. Letters from St. Petersburgh, in the Hambuargh Gazette, state that the disor- der of the Emperor of Russia has return- ed with increased violence. He has been compelled to keep his room for several days.

THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF ITS PROPER TRACK. No man, it seems to us, who has read sound mind, can doubt that the protrac- tion of the existing war, as proposed in high quarters, by prosecution of it into “the vitals of the enemy’s country,” must still further divert the Government from its true ends, and, finally, bring about its dissolution and downfal! as certainly as it will the subjugation of Mexico.

By order of Major General Scott : H. L. SCOTT, A. A. A. G. Shot.—A letter from Duncan Johnston, of Capt. Kirkpatrick’s Company, near Saltillo, gives an account of the shooting of Victor Gal- braith, of the Arkansas Cavalry, and said to have been a native of Wilmington, North Car- olina. The letter states that his offence was the killing of a sentinel upon his post, and an at. tempt upon the life of his Captain. He was tried by Court Martial and sentenced to be shot. He met death with allthe heroism of romance. Two men were detailed from cach company, who drew lots to decide which should under. go the unpleasant duty of firing. Reuben Jones and James ‘Thames were detailed from Capt. Kirkpatrick’s company. The lot fell upon the the latter. The distance was eight paces.— Galbraith stood upon his coffin, looked death full in the face, as the file of men stood ready with pieces coekcd to pull trigger, and exclaim- ed to them “take steady aii boys.” A SALUTARY THOUGHT. There was a man who was universally reported to be a very liberal man and un- common Jiberal in his dealings. When he had any produce of his farm to dispose of, he made it an invariable rule to give good measure, over good, rather more than could be required of him. One of his friends observing his frequently doing 80, quesiioned him why he did it, told him he gave too much, and stated it would not be to his own advantage.

Col. Fremont to the lenient consid- |eration of the President of the United | States.” | Three other members of the court, | Messrs. S. H. Long, Richard Delafield, and E. W. Morgan, append to the record | of their Proceedings the following, viz: ; Under all the circumstances of this case, and in consideration of the distin- guished professional services of the accu- | sed previous to the transactions for which men had become bellicose, and our pre- -sent race of orators had nourished their fires at sources which had kindled in their ‘imaginations nothing but images of war: | in short, that the republics of the new world and the monarchies of the old had changed positions—conquest, dismember- ment, appropriation, being no longer can- vassed there in diplomatic circles and con- themes were entertained and discussed in republican councils and convocations ?— The conclusion would be irresistible that we had become oblivious of the real sour- ces of our power and the true conditions of our greatness. Interpreting fairly, then, the language employed in recent Congres- | \sional Debates, we stand justified in say- | ing that we seem about to cast behind us the important truths that the foundations | of our Government were laid in princi-- ples of peace; that our organic law is, in | itself, a bond of peace; that its checks. and balances have been so framed and adjusted as to work with due effect in none but peaceful periods; and, finally, that the constitution went into operation | under the shadow of names borne by those 'as heretofore, and steadily to oppose the de- | who, in its formation and early adminis- tration, discarded all military associations and predilictions: by such men as Wash- ington, Hamilton, and Inox. - If such, then, is the spirit and character he has now been tried, the undersigned beg leave to recommend him tothe clem- ency of the President of the U.

Mr, Waddell, of Orange, from the Nomina. tag Commitiee, asked leave to report, which being grantedl. Mr, Waddell announced to the Convention, that the Committee had unanimously agreed to Rpert to the Convention, the name of CHAS. ANLY, of Raleigh, as the Whig Candidate be Governor.

Manly, and inform him of bis nomination. | The Chair appointed Messrs. Long, Sat- kthwaite and Stedham. Mr. Long, from the Committee, subsequently reported, that they lad performed the duty assigned them and that Mr, Manly Was present in person, to speak for himself. On invitation Mr. Manly was then Conduct- tdinto the Hall, and was received with loud wolause. la an eloquent and beautiful address, full of the deepest contidence, and of the most cheer- ing enti ments, he responed to, and accepted the WMination. Having concluded, on motion of Mr. Rayner, » Manly was inviled to occupy a seat in this vention, as an honorary member, Mr. Rayner, from the Committee of Ppointed to prepare Resolutions, &c., reported Be following Preamble and Kesolutions : Ys 9 wey Wurreas, As the Representatives of the Whigs of State, in Convention assembled, for the purpose of rating on the best means of promoting the public Pod, we deem it due to the cause of truth, and the suc- 3 of our principles, that we should briefly set forth the Pounds of our action in the coming political contest. \. Therefore Resolved, That our conviction of the | Wath, and our devotion to the cause of the great Conser- Mtive principles of the Whig party, are not ouly un- inged and unimpaired, but the present alarming con- ition of the Country, growing out of the misrule of the Wry in power, whilst fulfilling our predictions, serves tenvince us still more of the necessity of unswerving nea in the support and maintenance of those ples. & Resolved, That we look upon the course of the pre- Administration, in their warfare upon American ty, in their reckless management of the public " , their wastful expenditures in diverting the pub- land fund from its rightful purposes, their direct and pee8 countenance and encouragement to the violation of and order ; their prostitution of public office to the ition of partizan support, as utterly in conflict with titution, destructive of public tnorals, at variance spirit of our free institutions, and tending ulti- ly to the overthrow of civil liberty. » Resolred, That while our opinions remain un- din regard to these old issues, on which we have, @ Sets combatted the party in power, yet, we consider tow perilous condition of the country, growing out Gt Uonecessary and unconstitutional war—begun in t of selfish ambition, and persisted in with a view Pry triumph—as presenting a new issue, which, for being, overshadows and transcends, in impor- | Gi the old questions, which have heretofore divi- | ; ,Momentous and important as those questions | i, Resolved, That we consider the ordering of the | Zoo the Army of the United States, by the Presi- ates K. Powx, in the face of the pledge whieh had is Sven by the American Congress, in the terms of | Mn. *exation, that the boundary betwixt Texas and | be settled by peaceful negotiation, as an | aggression upon the rights of a neighboring - | evening. unconstitutional war, ought to be terminated as soon as possible, consistently with the hoaor of the county ; that _ too many of our sons have already fallen ; that too much of our treasure has already been wasted ; that millions of acres of conquered territory cannot compensate us for the Joss of the one, and the expenditure of the other ; and that, in negotiating a peace, we owe it to our position among the nations of the earth, not to force harsh and oppressive terms upon a conquered and prostrate foe. 7. Resolved, That we would prefer that the negotia- tions for peace should be conducted with a view to the establishment of an equitable boundary line between us and Mexico, and the acquisition of a safe and eonvenient harbor on the Pacific; but that we are entirely opposed to forcibly wresting from Mexico, by conquest, any por- tion of her territory. 8. Resolred, That, whilst expressing our condemna- tion of the authors of this war, and those who favor its ' continuance with a view to conquest, yet we cannot with- hold the meed of our admiration and approval of the conduct of those Officers and men of our Army and Na- vy, who have so gallantly sustained the American Flag ; and who have exhibited, in an eminent degree, the virtue of loyalty and obedience to superior authority, whilst | prosecuting a war upon a system, and for purposes, which many of them, in their judgment, condemn. 9. Resolved, That we view the course of the Admin- istration, in their warfare upon Generals Taytor and | Scorr, as evincing a spirit of jealousy and ingratitude, inconsistent with all the high impulses of justice and hon- or; that we will, as far as in us lies, sustain those gallant commanders against the assaults of malignity and op- pression ; and will cherish their names as identified with American prowess and glory. 10. Resolved, That the position taken by our Sena- tors in Congress, the Hon. Witite P. Maneum and the , Hon. Georce E. Bapcer, in reference to the further pro- secution of the Mexican War, meets our entire approba- tion ; and that we fully endorse the sentiments by the latter, in his late able and unanswerable speech, in the Senate, on that subject. 11. Resolved, That our present Governor, the Hon. Witiiam A. GranaM, is entitled to our highest commen- dation and our thanks, for the very able, impartial and | satisfactory manner in which he has discharged the du- ties of his office ; and that on retiring from the Execu- | tive Chair, he will carry with him the esteem and appro- bation of us all. 12. Resolred, That the time has arrived when the Whigs of the Union should put forth every effort ; that we think upon their success greatly depends the security of our rights, and the perpetuity of our Institutions ; that, at this time, above all others, compromise and harmony should prevail in our councils; that Union is the first great pre-requisite to success ; and that, therefore, we | approve the National Whig Convention to be holden in | Philadelphia, on the 7th of June next; that we will _ abide the nomination of said Convention, for the offices ' of President and Vice President, by supporting its nom- inees ; and that we deem it advisable that the Whigs of North Carolina should be represented in said Convention. | 13. Resolved, That Joun M. Moreneap, of Guilford, and Joun Kerr, of Caswell, be appointed as Delegates to represent the Whigs of the State at large in the Na- hold District Conventions with a view to the selection of one Delegate to represent the Whigs of said District in Convention, and to the forming a Whig Electoral Tick- | et for the State. | 14. Resolved, That our Whig brethren throughout the | ; State, be and they are hereby appealed to, by every con- sideration that addresses itself to the heart of the Patriot, | to arouse themselves, and make a still more vigorous and determined effort in behalf of our principles and our) cause ; to keep constantly in view the fact, that on the | next General Assembly will devolve the election of a Se- | | nator in Congress for six years; to complete a more thorough system of Whig organization in the several Counties ; and that we do hereby pledge ourselves to each other, and call on the Whigs of the State, to ratify | | the same,that we will use our most vigorous efforts to | secure a Whig victory in both August and November | NeXt: The Resolutions were read, and unanimous- ly adopted. Mr. Rayner introduced the following Reso- lution : Resolved, That our admiration and attachwent for | the great American Statesman, Henry Cray, are una- bated: and that we will ever cherish the most profound gratitude for the eminent and distinguished services he has rendered his country. Which was unanimously adopted. Mr. Kerr introduced the following Resolu- tion: Resolved, That we have the highest confideuce in the | honesty, integrity and patriotism of Gen. Zacnary Tay- Lor, and that we feel profound gratitnde to hin for the service rendered to his country. Which was unanimously adopted. Mr. Kerr nominated the following gentlemen |to compose the central Committee, namely : W.R. Gales, Alfred Jones, G. W. Haywood, Richard Hines, T. J. Lemay, John H. Bryan, | H. W. Ulusted, and H. W. Miller. Mr. Rayner moved to amend the nomination — by adding one from each Congressional district | and that five should be a quorum for the trans. | action of business, which was accepted by Mr. Kerr, and the motion and nominations were adopted by the Convention. Mr. Banks, of Fayetteville, announced that he had just received a Telegraphic despatch from Fayetteville, announcing that the intelli- | gence of Mr. Manly’s nomination had been re. ceived with great pleasure by the citizens of that place. On motion of Mr. Kingsbury, E. B. Dudley | and Robt. B. Gilliam were appointed alternate Delegates to the Baltimore Convention. The Convention was then addressed b and McLeod of Johnston. Mr. Satterthwaite moved that a Committee of three be appointed by the Chair, to prepare the proceedings of this Convention for publica- tion in the Whig parpers of the States. The Convention took a recess, until half past 3. fF. M, AFTERNOON SESSION. The President appointed the following mem- bers of the Central Committee, one from each Congressional District, in pursuance of the Re- solution adopted this morning, namely, Messrs. N. Woodfin, N. L. Williams, T. S. Galloway Rufus Barringer, Hugh Waddell, C. L. Hinton, K. Rayner, E. Stanly and E. J. Hale. The President also appointed the following Committee, on the revisal and publication of the proceeding of this Convention, namely : Messrs. Rayner, Gales and G. W. Haywood. Messrs. Banks and Mullins, of Fayetteville, Mr. Kerr, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Waddell then addressed the Convention, The fellowing Resolution was offered by Mr. Kerr, and laid upon the table, to-wit: Resolved, That the thanks of this Convention are due, and are hereby tendered to the Hon. Richard Hines, the President of this body, and to the Vice Presidents and Secretaries, for the satisfactory manner with which they have discharged the duties of their stations. On motion of Mr. Rayner, the Convention then took a recess until half past 7 o’clock, this Nieur Sxsston. After a number of Speeches Jrom various members, the Resvlution of thanks, &c., was taken up from the table, and unanimously adop- ted. ’ The President made a short address, after which the-Convention adjourned without day. RICHARD: HINES, Ch’m’n. ~ R. W. Lassirer, , C. C. Rasoreau, t Secretaries. We have seen it stated in the New York and other papers, as if from some authority, that Mr. Clay had positively de- clined consenting to the use of his name as a candidate for the Presidency, and would, in a few days, under his own hand annouce the fact. We believe that these rumors are unfounded, and that, while he has a strong disinclination to the use of his name for such a purpose, he has remained entirely passive, without having formed absolutely any determina- tion one way or the other. We have no doubt that, if Mr. Clay shauld adopt the resolation attributed to him, he will, un- der his own signature, annouce it. In the mean time, the Public would do well to discredit all rumors not possessing such authority.—|[ Nat. Int. {For the Carolina Watchman. } To the Christian Stiller---No. 3. My Dear Friend :—We will now try to examine into the consistency of stilling | with doing good to man. I hope you will , not get impatient.

You then have taken from socie- ty much of the staple of life, and have given back to society that which has no tendency to satisfy hunger or to preserve ‘life. If rich harvests and full graneries are causes of thankfulness and praise and glory of Ged, does your consuming these harvests and exhausting these graneries increase that glory?

Do you not believe that there would be more bread, more good clothes, more good houses, more of the comforts and conveniences of life every way than there are, if there were no dis- tilled spirits in the world?

Now kissed by the oon-beam, outstripping the wind, The cool, sweeping night-gale is panting behind, Nor leave we it aught our fleet pathway to tell, But the far-distant pea! of the merry sleigh-be!l.

Y. “We have received A Declaration of the No License Executive Committee of the town of Bennington, N. Y. Its length, and the fact that it was prepared before the Report of the Excise Law was repealed, prevent its in- sertion. Jt recommends a removal of all State patron- age from the rum trade and an entire prohibition of the traffic in intoxicating liquorsasabeverage. They say— “In some countries, gambling houses being regarded asan evil, are licensed, yet in the State of New York we venture to define both gambling and keeping gamb- ling houses crimes punishable by our courts. This isnot regarded, here, as a very giaring encroachment upon our liberties, yet doubtless it would be in some countries.— And dare we to put gambling houses and drinking hous- esen equal footing? It is true, gambling houses have done their work of misery and ruin. But where one THE DISAPPOINTMENT. FOUNDED ON FACT. A few years since, a country physician, residing in the good old town of Concord, became deeply smitten with the charms of a young lady, at an evening party In Boston. At the time, he had made no avowal of his passion, but swallowed it along with his sweetmeats. However, the sugar plumbs, candy snaps, &c., &c., ‘ S'death, sir, I see no cause for merri- | = ment.’ — ‘ None, truly, in fact that he has been courting my mad cousin-in-law. Matt F . for. if those are not his true characters, Pm no true Christian.’ Our hero of the billet-doux paused ;— such things might be, and have been; the name corresponded. and as he had never in the idea of a man com=| . ing to kidnap my wife ; bat there is sonie. soon evaporated, and in the short space ' of a week, nothing remained of that event- ful night but the incipient flame which grew brighter and more tooublesome than ever, and which he determined to digest, through the medium of a billet-doux.— The billet-doux was written on valentine paper, with a dove quill; sealed with cu- pid darts, and despatehed by post, to the fair damsel in Boston, It merely contain- ed an encomium to the lady’s beauty, and a modest declaration of the ‘ tender pas- sion.’ To his inexpressible fidgets and felicity, this letter Was answered in a way that gave new life to his hopes. It even went as far as to hint, that the lady her- self bad, at first sight, conccived something more than friendship for him, and that his rinth of despair. lowed by others, ‘quick, thick, and heavy as a thunder shower,’ each more bright and ominous than the last; like the threaten- ings of a volcano, which generally begins in distant rumbling, but progressing in flame and bustle, soon became riper for explosion. Nearly two months elapsed since the interview, which time had been delightfully employed in writing jove-let- and stars—lips and poppies—checks and ed all but the sammum bonum of his hap- piness, by a letter inviting him to Boston. Ma had at length given her consent that Miss should receive the Doctor’s address- es; and had added to her list of jewels, and even began to talk of a marriage por- tion of pin money. The gentleman was farther requested to come as stylish as possible, so to ensure the old lady’s regard, who had a strong hankering after rent roHs and bank stock ; but, above all, to be sure not to come without himself, which was every thing in the world, that had the slightest attraction for his soul’s re- flection, his devoted Mary. The gentle- man lost no time in preparing for his jour- ney; he disposed of some canal stock at a sacrifice, to purchase a barouche, and changed two stalworth plough horses, With aii appurtenances to Loot, for a brace for the convoys of love. When he arriv- ed in town, he drove rapidly down the street of his charmer, intending to bloom forth in full meridian. After springing from the chariot, and extracting thunder from the knocker, the door was opened, and his name was announced. ‘Walk in, sir—be seated, sir—really, sir, ] cannot challenge my memory as to your name, but I think I have some slight ever, beggary, and death by the dram shop.

There is no form in which death approaches, more ter- rible than thatof delirium tremens. No disease induced There was never a inore awful spectacle pre- sented to human eyes, than that of a fellow being, hav- ing:wrecked his physical organization and perverted his whole mental organism by intoxicating poisons, suffer- ing the penalty of his evil ways, in ihe trembling agonies of his exhausyed and outraged nature. It seems that the dreadful spectres, the turmentiug fiends, the legions of demons and myriads of frightful ghosts, ever present in imagination, were sent by some guardian spirit on pur- pose to warn mankind from the cause of the deplorable malady. Strange that reasoning mortals disregard so tremendous a lesson! Every day numbers of our broth- er men thus die, yet the moral seems wholly lost. Last Sunday there wa a spirited temperance meeting at the City Prison. While Joha Hawkins was address. audience, one of the prisoners was attacked with mM tremens. Soon after a second was attacked and euttied out ; and before he had concluded, another brought in laboring under the disease. This is ad of one lovality fora single hour.

The startling draw back on nearly all Medicinal Afi- ents haagver been that in their process of purgation and pur‘fcation, they have also debilitated the system.— Hence purgative medicines have always been regarded as at best but a necessary evil, patients resorting to them | for the relief of one disease at the expense of another.— To obviate this, physicians have long sought for an a- | . . . ‘Madam, if this isthe sister of Mr. ; whom | have the honor of addressing, 1 | lament the circumstances that brings me | hither; and yet it were a libel to lament | | any thing that introducee me to you.’ _ ‘Surely, sir, I trust my brother has been guilty of nothing that could derange the feelings of so polite a ” here she stop- ped and blushed, and before she could be- gin her brother entered. | He was an arch looking boy, between | filteen and sixteen, so, of course, could be | ino great duelist, as he was represented. | eae. | Finding the gentleman to be very calm | and polite in his inquiries, he made a gen- | eral confession of the whole, which a-| mounted to this: Going one day with some | of his companions to the post office for. | letters, he received one with his own ini- | ‘tials which was intended for his cousin Mary ; that his companions induced him | to do it—that they agreed to answer it, | | and have ever since. kept up the corres- | (dence. The gentleman heaved several | | audible sighs, during the confession, The. lady shed tears of pity at the tale, and the | boy wiping bis eye lashes, which trembled | with a tear, lest peradventure be should | | > . { ed— ] am very sorry for having kept your | wife from marrying you; but sure you can court and heve my sister Betty in- stead.’ The Doctor started and sighed | louder than ever—the lady turned her | eyes towards the window, which came in| Visionary contact with the chariot at the | door. * Madam, said the gentleman, at this | ominous moment, *] could cheerfully sub. | mit to all disappointment, if Ithought you | Would not deem the renewal of my. visit an annoyance.’ Miss Betty gave a silent look of sanction, and answered that mam- ma would be delighted at the honor, but for herself, she dared not permit visits of a strange gentleman. However, the last Sentence was softened by a smile. and in |a few moments after our hero took his leave, and (as some persons have hinted) |a kiss in the bargain, and promised to re- ,turnon the morrow.

The New York Courier of Wednesday has a detailed account of the “ Independent Meeting of the friends of Gen. ‘Taylor’ held in that city on Tuesday evening. The Hon. Judah Ham. mond presided, assisted by forty-four Vice Pre- sidents. The Courier says that Military Hall in the Bowery,—the building in which the meeting was organized,—was so crowded that another meeting was formed in the street, of which A. Sydney Doane, Esq. was chosen President. The speakers at the street meeting were G. A. Halsey, Esq., Col. Bruen and oth- ers. Soon afier the organization of the meeting in the Hall, an address was read by James A. Van Allen, Esq., amid frequent bursts of applause. |The closing paragraph of the address is in these words: We do, therefore, nominate Zachary Taylor, ‘the Hero of Buena Vista, as our candidate for | the Presidency ;—and we call upon the inde- pedendent electors of all parties, upon all who regard the good of the Country as paramount to all schemes for party success, to join the ranks of the People’s Party, and to rally to the support of the Peoples’ Candidate.

In 1825 he was chosen by the House of | Representatives President of the United “States for the term of four years.

Suffice it tosay that his | long eventful life has been devoted to the | public service, and the ability and fidelity with which he has discharged every duty -are known and acknowledged throughout the nation. His fame is also blended with his country’s history that it will live when all the frail monuments of art shall have crumbled into dust. By his death the coun- | try has lost a pure patriot, science an ar- | dent votary, and the cause of human free- dom a devoted friend. But it is not as a public man merely ‘that we are to contemplate Mr. Apams.— | In private walks of life, * where tired dis- | simulation drops the mask,” and man ap- pears as he really is, we find in him all those silent and social virtues which adorn the character. His ardent love of justice, his inflexible regard for truth, his stern de- 'votion to the cause of civil and religious ‘liberty, were blended with meekness, so- | briety, and charity. But the crowning | glory of his character was his devotion to the cause of his Redeemer. | To that cause he was publicly dedica- ‘ted on the second day of his earthly exist- ‘ence, and throughout a long life he man- | ifested a firm belief in Divine revelation, | and a calm trust in that Being who rules ‘among the nations and spreads the mantle | lof his love over his dependant children. | But he is gone. The places that have: | known him will now know bim no more’ forever. This instance of mortality, at ‘once so pe@aliar and so painfal, admon- | ‘ishes us of the uncertainty of life, and | ‘teaches us so to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. | -speeches had been made by the Hon. Wm. | Cost Johnson, of Maryland, and Col. Baker, of 'Tlinois, were adopted without a dissenting | voice : Whereas, The peculiar state of our national affairs being that the highest interest ot the “people require that the office of Chief Magis. trate shall be filled by a man of unquestionable ‘integrity, and freedom from all sectional pre- judices and partizan obligations ; and that since the last presidential election many unlooked for events of great national importance have had ‘the effect to destroy the old party distinctions which then divided the people, and to create the necessity for new menand new measures ; and that the people of all parties and of every section of the country, have manifested by un- mistakable indication a desire to place a man in the presidential chair who shall be the pres- ident for the nation, not the mere tool of a par- ty; therefore, Resolved, That Gen. Zachary Taylor we hail the man for the crisis, and the favorite of the people ; that we have entire confidence in his honesty, patriotisn and ability, and therefore earnestly recommend him to the people of this State, and of the United States fur the of- fice of President. Resolved, That Gen. Taylor is entitled to the gratitude and highest gifts of the people of the United States for the renown which he has confered upon the American name, by the gal- lantry, prudence, humanity and eminent wis- dom displayed by him in leading our army from victory to victory. Resolved, That the constant successes which have attended every engagement of our army with the Mexicans, are owing as much to the spirit given to our soldiers, and the fear infused into the enemy by the first distinguished achiev. ments of our troops under the lead of Gen. Vay- lor, as to their own bravery and indomitable perseverance. Resolved, That it is not fur his great milita- ry talents alone that the people have selected General Taylor as the man of their choice for the next President, but because he has display. ed those high and noble qualities of head and heart which win the love and confidence of the people, and give the best assurances of his ca- pacity to fill the duties of the office to which we desire to see him elevated, with honor to himself and benefit to the nation. Resolved, That a committee of tea be op- pointed by the chairman of this meeting, to transmit to Gen. Taylor a copy of these reso- lutions and preamble, and to communicate to him the wishes of this meeting. | proper that they should meet in their primary In | assemblies to confer with each other, compare | opinions and preferences, and give utterance to | their honest convictions: ‘Therefare, it is | Resolved, That we, the Whigs of the City of New York, regard HENRY CLAY, of Ken. lucky, as the most eminent champion of our cherished principles ; we confide in him asa Statesman, admire him as a Patriot, leve him as a Man, and believe him the fittest of all nen to lead the Whig array in the great con- test now swiftly apprvaching. Resolved, ‘That the public lite and services of Henry Clay duing the last half century, and we trust not yet near their termination, afford to the poor and friendless youth of America a most cheerful encouragement and striking example ; and we point the young men of our land to that life, and to that universal respect and general admiration with which our great Leader is now regarded, as affording the fullest evidence that Virtue and true Patriotism, although they not always ensure success and raise to the most exalted station, are not yet certain to be re- warded with that which gives to Success its highest zest, and to Station its only just value. Resolved, That in. War and in Peace, in Congress and in the Cabinet, as a debater and a diplomatist, Henry Clay has for the last thir- ty years stood unsurpassed among the States. men of America, and we cannot understand how any man should be willing to vote for any Whig as a Whig, yet be unwilling to vote for Henry Clay. Resolved, That the Whigs of New York are neither afraid nor ashamed to avow fully the principles and objects fur which they have so ardently and untiringly struggled ; and while they desire success inthe ensuing contest, they would value it mainly as an evidence of the ad- vance of popular intelligence with regard to Public Policy and the science of Government and as affording them opportunity to give prac- tical efficacy to their cherished arms and con- victions. Resolved, That the eminent and arduous ex- erlions of Henry Clay in behalf ef the great ‘cause of human Liberty throughout the World | —his early and powerfui advocacy of a public recognition of the independence of Greece and of the South American Republic—his thrilling appeals to his countrymen in behalf of the star. ving people of unhappy Ireland, and the well known generosity and magnanimity of his na- ture, give him strong claims to the affection and gratitude of our fellow citizens who have fled from despotism and want in Europe, to lib- erty and plenty in America, and we have rea- son to believe that those claims will not be dis- regarded in the coming contest. Resolved, ‘That we regard the late Speech of Mr. Clay at Lexington, in exposure to the causes, character and objects of the present War on Mexico, as among the noblest and most patriotic efforts of the Great and ‘True Man, who * would rather be right than be Pre- sident.” Resolved, That the simple fact that the bon- est expression of convictions adverse to the | justice and to the further prosecution of this war 'on Mexican soil is denounced as unpatriotic and censurable, tends to exhibit in a strong | light the icompatibility of aggressive War with | the preservation of Human Freedom, and we | do most earnestly trust that our Country will never engage in another war of invasion and | conquest. | Resolved, That while Henry Clay is em- | phatically our choice for next President, as we | { { | | { | | | | | the Union, and we mean to do all in our power !to secure his nomination, we yet avow our un- ‘equivocal intention to await and be governed by the choice of the Whig National Conven- ition; and we ask, in common justice, that the friends of other Whig candidates shall meet us | in 1819 neither would the United States | believe he is that of a majority of the people of | show, was not the original inventor Cast Iron Plow-share, nor did heeverdmy prove the Plow in the slightest degrees he was consequently entitled to no merit in this thing, and much less to a patent: and had the fact been known by the Gom- missioner of Patents, in 1814, he. would not have granted him one. or renewed it Court have confirmed him in it. after it, had been granted. 4 b odes Iron Plowshare was invented y Robert Ransom, of Ipswich, Englatdy and he obtained a atest for it in 1785, twenty-nine years before Jethro Wood ob« tained his. The Cast Iron Plow, with the share and mould board in two parts, was kept for sale by Peter T. Curteniusin this city, as early as 1800; and in use in‘ thi neighborhood. Jethro Wood undoubtedly obtained his knowledge of the cast iron share from one or the other of these, for the Cast Iron Plow as a whole, and in separate parts, will be found figured and described in almost every Encyclopedia, and work on agricultural implements, published in Great Britian. sinee’ 1780, These works soon found their way into the United States, and it can be prayed by the testimony of the intimate ried ar >> w and of Jethro Wood, that he was fumili these publications. : _ The history of the Cast Iron Plo improvements are simply this, James Small. a Scotchman, construeted a Cast Iron Plow on true mechanical priaciples as early as 1740, and. wasthe first inventor of the cast-iron share ia 1785 .An English farmer ia the Countg of Suffolk, invented the cast iron land side shortly after, so that-as-early-as2790;the: Cast Iron Plow complete; in three distinet parts, was well known and in usein Great™ Britain, and figured and described in neat ly every work of any value since pabl ed on the subject of plows and ral implements. = Without any knowledge of these, iatike provements of the Cast Iron Plow in Eins gland, Charles Newbold of New Jerseyys about the year 1790, took up the pléw with a view of improving it in the United States. On the 17th of June 1797, he obs tained a patent for the Cast Iron Plow skeleton, in one piece complete. Subses quently he made his plows with a cast-iron mould board and land side, and attache® a wrought iron share to it. Shortly after. this, he still often spoke of farther impfo- ving his plow, by substituting the east iron? share. But having spent upwards of $86" 000 in his improvements and efforts to ims, troduce it into use in the United States’ and elsewhere, he got discouraged “and gave up the business. : a ie Peter T. Curtenius, as stated above, kept the Cast Iron Plow for sale in City, the share and mould boards in sepa. rate parts, as early as 1800. Whe wi the manufacturer of these I am unable@t learn. le In 1804, I think David Peacock. of New- Jersey, obtained a patent for a plow, the mould board and land side of cast “irom and in separate paris. the share of 'iron steel-edged. He copied Mr. Newe | bold’s plow in part, and for the privilege of which he paid him $1,000. In 1814 Jethro Wood obtained a patent for a plow, the mould board land-side and share in three parts and of cast iron.

MEMBERS OF A DRUNKARD ON FIRE. “Dr. Nott, in his lectures, gives the fol- lowing account of a young man about twenty oa years of age: =) “He had been an habitual drunkard for many years. I saw him about 9 o'clock it the evening on which it happened ; but he was then as full as usual, not drunk, but full of liquor, About Llo’cloek the same evening, I led to. see him. I found him liter- ily roasted, from the crown of his head the soles of his feet. He was found in smith’s shop just across from where Wad been seen, The owner, all of a den, discovered an extensive light in Dp, as though the whole building one general flame. He ran with t.precipitancy, and on throwing open loor, vered a man standing erect the sidst of a widely extended silver- lored flame, bearing, as he described it, the appearance of the wick of a candle in the midst of its own flame. He seized him, (the drunkard,) by the shoulder, jerked him to the door, upon which the flame was instantly extinguish- ed, There was no fire in the shop, nei- ther was there any possibility of any fire having been.communicated to him from ‘any external sources. It was purely a ease of spontaneous ignition. A general soon came on, and his flesh was or removed in the dressing, lea- ving the bones and a few of the larger ees vessels ; the blood, nevertheless, ral- around the heart, and maintained the vital spark until the thirteenth day, when be not only the most Ipath. ¢, ill-featared ere that was ever presented to the human view, but his shrieks, his groans, and |amentations, also were et to rend a heart of adamant. He complained of no pain of body; his flesh was gone. He said he was suffer- ing the torments of hell—that he was just upon the threshold, and would soon enter its dismal cavern; and in this frame of mind he gave up the ghost. Oh! the death of the drunkard! Well may it be said to beggar all description! Ihave seen other drunkards die but never ina manner so awful and affecting. Mi “ADAMS. The Salem (Mass.)

FOR PRESIDENT, ZACHARY TAYLOR, OF LOUISIANA. FOR GOVERNOR, CHARLES MANLY. OF WAKE COUNTY. THE PRESIDENCY. We are highly gratified to see that the nearer the time arrives for the meeting of the National Convention, the more closely united the great Whig Party of the Coun- try becomes. There are but few, very few indeed, who do not approve of the propos- ed Convention; and we are confident that before the 7th day of June arrives, the Whig party will present an undivided front. Such a consummation is most earn- estly desired by all who love their Coun- try and the sacred principles which we advocate. It will ensure success ; for we are more strongly of the opinion, that if ever the people felt the necessity of driv- ing from office the authors of misrule, it is now: That if ever they felt the bur- dens which extravagance and corruption is about to bring down upon them like an avalanche, it is now. Such being. the case, (and every day’s experience proves it.) i€ 1 of the utmost importance that the Whigs-should show their devotion to the principles which they advocate, and the measures they propose to rid the country from the almost insurmountable. difficul- ties which seem tohang over it, the result of the wild and visionary schemes of the Polk dynasty. Those whoare for Gen. Taytor, whether nominated by the Convention or not, should ever bear in mind, that in union alone there is strength. What good can they expect to accomplish, by setting up their opinion against a large majority of their brethren of the same political faith, who regard it as highly important for a Convention to assemble and select some one of the many distinguished Whigs who have been mentioned in connection with the Presidency, to be supported by the Party? Do they think that they can elect Gen. Tay.or without the aid of the whole party, or that the decided majority favor- able to a Convention will be driven from what they honestly believe to be the only safe course, by unjust insinuations? We cannot permit ourselves for one moment to believe they do. For such a belief, seems to us, preposterous; and can pro- ceed from none other than an over-heated imagination, or purely selfish and dictato- rial motives. We do hope that for the good of the cavsr for which we are battling, and a sense of what is due to the opinion of such a large majority of the Whig Party, will prevent any from pursuing such a suicidal policy. Let our motto ever be, “THe union oF THE Wuics FOR THE SAKE OF THE UNron.” Ona late oceasion in the Srnate, in which an incidental debate arose, Mr. CritTENDEN expressed very clearly and forcibly the views entertained by multitudes of intelligent citizens on the subject of the war, and the right of free discussion upon matters relating to it. We quote from this debate the following : “Tam a little apprehensive that the Senator from Mississippi may have understood me as going a little further than I designed to be un- derstood as going in relation to this war. I think I told you, at the commencement of my remarks, that | was not one of those who ap- proved of this war—not at all. But I said that the war, by the act of. Congress, had become a national war. It was war according to law, and I had supposed that the great principle of republican government consists in the com. bination of the strength and power of the whole community in executing the laws passed by | the other. the majorily of that community; that I am as that imposed duties or taxas, or regulated the conduct of citizens of the United States. “ With respect to any of those laws, the liber- ty of discussion, under the constitution, and ac- cording to every principle of republican govern- ment, is free and unlimited, It is upon that condition that every citizen of the republic agrees to conform himself to and be governed hy the majority, however repugnant to his own opinions may be the decisions of the majority This freedom of discussion is the ground on which each and every individual may infer, on entering into the social compact, that he may safely and cheerfully agree to obey whatever law the majority passes whilst discussion is left free ; or, in the words of Mr. Jefferson, that er- ror may be tolerated whilst reason is left free to combat it. ‘That is the principle of republi- can government. Ido not hold that I oppose the war because [ discuss, and examine, and reason, In order to prove to you that the Jaw ought t be repealed, or changed, or modified 80 as to put an end to this war... « .. “It is with respect to that law as ft tein the ease of every other law. ennstitutional law Dalne’ tos ‘ apy | shedience of : matter whether it be according to Wie wicbes or ngt.

The fiat has gone forth from His Majesty. the President, that every one who dares question his acts or even exercise the right guarantied to him by the Constitution to discus# them, he is giving “aid and comfort te the enemy :” and as a necessary consequence, the lesser lights must follow in the wake, and say it is treason. What a humiliating specta- cle. If the fathers of the Republic could come forth from their graves, they would tremble for the safety of the liberty which they toiled and struggled to secure for seven long years. The above sentiment of the President, is worthy of the source from whence it eminated. If it had come from the Autocrat of the Russia’s no one would or could have been aston- ished at it. D> The funeral ceremonies of the late Joun Quincy Apams, ex-President of the United States, is said to have been very solemn and impressive. ll, or nearly all of the Stores and Public places were clos- ed on the day set a part for that purpose, and the windows and doors of the same hung in deep mourning for the deceas- ed Patriot and Statesman. The Legisla- ture of Maryland attended in a body, so did the Corporate authorities of Alexan- dria, Va., besides two Military Companies. All the different societies in the District were present to do honor to the mighty deaid.:.Not less than twelve or fifteen thousand persons attended the funeral.— A great man has fallen ! MR. CALHOUN. We take the following extract in rela- tion to this gentleman from a letter from Washington, published in the Richmond Whig of Friday last: “] have it from a gentleman whois the bosom friend of Mr. Calhoun, that that distinguished Senator declares that he will never aid in the elevation of any other ‘small’ man tothe office of President, un- der any circumstances whatever—that in the coming canvass, he will not support any man who will carry out the radical war policy of this administration—that this war and its consequences overrule in magnitude all questions of a domestic cha- racter—that, while he may differ with a candidate, who may go for peace and a- gainst the conquest and acquisition of Mexico, in some matters of governmental policy, he will feel called on not only not to oppose him, but to render his election as certain as possible. He thinks that if the present radical spirit should be sus- tained by the next Administration, the South must be the loser, and our institu- tions must be all overthrown ; and that all stability and conservatism in the Govern- ment must be annihilated. He is convin- ced that this war policy swallows up all issues that have hitherto divided parties.” DANVILLE AND SALISBURY. We transfer into our columns sketches of Danville and Salisbury from the res- pective papers of each town, and would express our high gratification at the evi- idences of present prosperity with which they are surrounded, and their brighten- ing prospects in the future. A comple- tion of the contemplated lines of railroad, and opening of the Dan and Yadkin riv- ers for navigation, will give a fresh and powerful impulse to the growth of these towns, and consequently to the agricultu- ral interests of a wide vicinity. Danville and Salisbury are great pla- ces, we trow ; and Greensborough stands in the same row. If we cannot boast of the manufacturing and commercial facilities of the one, nor the venerable antiquity of the other, we have at least the satisfac- tion to know that we are situated between the two.—Greens. Putriot. SALISBURY RAILROAD MEETING. The public attention is solicited to the proceedings of a public meeting recently held in Salisbury on the subject of a Rail- road to connect between Danville and Charlotte ; and the striking views of a writer in the Watchman, whose initrials indicate that they are from the able pen of Hamilton C. Jones. It is to be hoped, that the proposition to hold a general mee- ting of the friends of the work from all the counties directly interested, on Tues- day, the 6th of June, in the town of Salis- bury, will elicit serious considerations and due response from the people of Guilford and the neighboring counties.—Greens.

The payment to Mexico, in consideration of this cession, of Fifteen Millions of Dollars, and, in addi- tion, the payment by the United States of the sums due, or which may be found due, by the government of Mexico to citizens of the United States, (say five millions of dollars.) “ Were we to consult our own judgment, as we have already said, we would reject all acquisition of territory, except perhaps a single port (say San Francisco, and a few Jeagues of land to sustain and protéct it) on the coast of the Pacific. We believe that the proposed ac- quisition will be injurious in proportion to its extent. But we must take a practical view of the subject. We cannot do as we would in this matter; nor can the Senate and House of Re- presentatives, who are tc act more directly up- on it. ae “That the annexation of the whole of Mext- co to the United States would be fatal to thie Government, whoever may doubt it, we are well convinced. Add to our Segate the representa. tion of some fifteen or twenty Mexican States, and the Conservative character of that body will be destroyed. The increased representa- tion in the other branch of the National Legis. lature might, at first, be less injurious; but its evils cannot now be computed. Would our commercial, manvfacturing, and agricultural States be content to be governed by Mexican Generals, who are ignorant of Civil ‘Govern- ment, and who could not understand the princi- ples of our Coastitution? Pronunciamentos at the head of a military array constitute the ba- sis of their political knowledge. “The Union of these States has withstood the shocks of war and interna! excitement, but it would be dissolved*by the annexation of Mex- ico. “ We would take the treaty, then, as it is, to avoid a greater national evil. We cannot reject it and continue our opposition to the War.— Payment of the debts which Mexico owed our citizens at the commencement of the war is now hopeless; her means are exhausted. Her territory with its population will entail upon us increased expenditures, and evils moral and po- litical ; but it is all that Mexico can give.— There can be no indemnity for the war expen- ses. We had better, then, as we have said, stop where we are; for if we go further we shall only increase the evil. — “ The crisis should be met with firmness.— By the continued prosecution of the war, we should in three months expend a larger sum than the treaty requires us to pay our own cili- zens and to the Mexican Government. And where is the individual, so lost to a sense of jus- tice and to the common sympathies of our na- ture, even that much (more likely ten times as much) in prosecuting the war to the annihilation | of the Mexican Government and name 1” The Intelligencer concludes its article as fol- lows: “Had this unfortunate war not arisen, we might, in all probability, have purchased, if de- sired, fur five millions of dollars, the territory now proposed to be ceded. But the largeness of the sum we are to pay for the territory can be no objection, under the circumstances, to those who set a high value upon our national character. We are treating with a prostrate adversary ; with a Republic humbled to the dust by our military power. To close the bloody tragedy by a magnanimous act will be honora- ble to our country. It will raise us in our own esteem and in that of the civilized world. “In ratifying this Treaty we take nothing By conquest. ‘This fact alone is worth far more to a Christian Nation than the sum of money we shall pay. The Lust of Conquest is as un- just and ruinous in a Republic as in any other form of government. It has made desolate the fairest portions of the earth, and has never fail- ed to overthrow, sooner or later, every vestige of liberty. Thank Gop, we shall be saved from the curse of this blighting principle! We pay even more than its value for the territory we take from Mexico. This fact will be pointed to, by those who shall come after us, with a Na- tional pride, to show the Justice of their coun- try. “ Deeply impressed by these considerations, we look with no ordinary solicitude to the rati- fication of the Treaty. We believe that Peace will be hailed with Joy through the wide extent of the Republic, and that its blessings will be felt and acknowledged in all our borders.” Fire !—We learn from the Raleigh Star of the Ist instant, that the large brick shop attach- ed to the Rail Road Depot in that city, was de- stroyed by fire about 11 o’clock on the night of the 28th ultimo. Several Engines and other valuable machinery, among which was the $7,000, were greatly injured. The loss is pro- bably not less than fifteen or twenty thousand dollars. It is not known how the fire occurred. . The most prompt and energetic measures were adopted to prevent any material iuterference with the operations of the road.

I am, Sir, Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Z. TAYLOR. Peter Sxen Smitu, Esq. Philadelphia. A great deal of unnecessary exultation on the part of those who are opposed to the nomination of Gen. Taylor, has been excited by the publication of this letter. It was made, by Mr. Botts, on Thursday evening, a principal objection to the nom- Yet ination of the Hero of Buena Vista. we think a little calm reflection will con- vince any candid mind, that Gen’l Taylor occupies now precisely the same position which he assumed at the very outset. It is known to all, that when urgéd up- on the subject with a view to his future nomination, he has always said that he would not be: the candidate of a party. preferring rather to be elected by the whole people, if elected at all. At the same time, his letter to Joseph R. Inger- soll, published by us yesterday, proves him, beyond all manner of doubt, to be a Whig. While with admirable modesty, he pre- fers seeing Mr. Clay or any other promi- nent Whig President of the United States, he tells us that the doctrines of the Whig party are, in his view, more nearly in ac- cordance with the principles of Jefferson and Madison, than are those of any other party whatever. This fetter to Mr. Ing- ersoll may serve as a commentary upon that now under consideration. In the last named letter, Gen. Taylor says, speaking of the people of the United States, “if they think fit to bring me be- fore them for this office, through their Le- gislatures, mass meetings, or conventions, I cannot object to their designating these bodies as Whig, Democratic or Native. | shall not be brought forward by them as the candidate of their party, or considered as the exponent of their party doctrines.” What is there in this inconsistent with what Gen. Taylor has repeatedly said? or with the unqualified declaration, made to Mr. Ingersoll, that he isa Whig? Gen- eral Taylor declares that he will not be the exponent of a party; and surely, with the example of the present Chief Magis- trate before him, who has bound himself heart and soul to the behests of the Balti- more Convention, and thus laid himself under an obligation to regard the dictates of a faction as an authority paramount to the Constitution which his oath of in- auguation requires him to support, he might well be anxious to avoid any pledge that might render him such. This, it ap- pears to us, is all that he means in this famous sentence, which has already be- | Taylor.was no Whig, and indirectly tg impress the same idea upon the Whig ty in general, Cannot the Whigs see their —— Gen. Taylor, ast'of all other men, to be the nomines ‘of the Whig Patty; and will they allow them, not only . BO ‘discord in their nell) inate for them? peo Sriee sue Very attempt to Taylor no "Whig, can proceed than a belief that he will overthrow their party ? It is impossible that General Taylor can be nominated by the Locofoco party, and he knew it perfectly well when he penned the lines which we have inserted in this article: Nor is'it probable that he can.ever receive the nomination of the strait-laced, narrow.minded, one-ideaed party of Native Americans. They, if they act in accordance with a main article of their creed, would insist that he should pledge himself to oppose immigration jg every shape, and by allmeans in his pow. er, and if they did not insist upon it, they would cease to be a party; for this prin ciple is their bond of unions and is, in fact, the only one which they profess. For composed of ceceders from the other great parties, there are to be found in theirranks men of every shade and variety of politi- cal doctrines, agreeing only on the one great point, hostility to immigration. The party comprises among its members ta. riffites and anti-tariffites, Bank-men and anti-Bank men, distributionists and anti: distributionists, annexationists and anti. annexationists—in fine, every variety of the genus politician. No man, who knows any thing of General Taylor, can believe that he would give himself up to the nar. row views of this political sect, as remark: able for their bigotry as they are for the infinitely diversified materials of which they are composed. The idea is prepos terous. It is evident, then, that General Taylor must have known, when this letter was written, that he could not receive the nomination from any other body, taken in a national point of view, than the Whig. Especially is this supposition strengthened by his letter to Mr. Ingersoll, in which he proclaims himself a Whig; for undying hostility to Whiggery, in all its shapes, phases and modificationsy is the funda- mental doctrine of the Democratic creed, while the Native Americans bestow their maledictions, in about equal proportions, upon both. When, in conclusion, then, Gen. Taylor says, that if he were. nominated by agy portion of his fellow-citizens he would ac cept such nomination, regardless of the name by which they might prefer to de signate themselves, he knew perfectly well, that from one party, and one aloné, could he expectthathonor. If there should be seceders from the other two parties whose assistance should help to swell bis majority, it would be so much clear gain; | but such seceders will, by voting for bim, most assuredly undergo the ban of their old friends. Every candidate for a public office is desirous to get as many votes of the opposite party as he can, bat it has never been understood that he thereby / compromises his principles. If a man of the opposite party vote for him, he knows |exactly what he is toexpect. If, after the | Ingersoll letter, any Native American of Locofoco Convention should nominate ‘General Taylor, they would do so with®# their eyes open.

Dear Brethren—Allow me affectionately to entreat your attention tothe following truisms and subsequent in- ferences > Drunkenness is a sin against Almighty God! * Teis a sin against a man’s own soul ! Tt ensures destruction to the body ! beggars.bis wife and children ! At destroys his reputation! It leads to crime and enormity of every description ! Jt militates against national prosperity ! It offers the greatest opposition 10 the spread of the gospel ! It robs thescharch annually of hundreds of its mem- bers! -, Moderate drinking is the step-stone to drunkenness, inasmuch as al! drunkards commenced their career by moderation ! Moderate drinkers are att in danger of becoming drunkards, and a large number of them are daily filling up the vacancies occasioned. by the deaths of drunkards! é Toral abstinence from all aleoholic drinks is a simple but certain remedy for those who have become drunk- arile !- Total abstinence is an infallible preventive to all drankenness, and if atu abstain, this vice wil! cease to exist ! Professing Christians, if the above propositions be cor- rect, what is your puty 2? Shall drunkenness continue ? ¥esor No! Weyou abstain you seoure yourselves! and your influ- efiée will decide the point at once! “Ye are the salt of the earth."—Mare. v. 13. * Ye are the light of the world."—Matt. v. L4. Shall the world be better for your existence ? for your example? for your influence? Will you season it ?— will you shine? Then abstain! abstain! abstain! ab- Stain! and with your united voice cry abstain! abstain! abstain ! abstain! O, beware! lest in the great day of accounts your braihet's blood be found in your skirts. It is yout duty ) Assist in putting down alésin by every legitimate and ‘Oper means. aRefiiember, Dery NEG1.ECTED ts stx! 4 ] °) ember, further, that Duty is Duty, and its charac- ? ris } no degree affected by our opinion of it: all our judices, for or against, cannot alter our Duty ! », My conscience tells me, that unless I use every exer- tipp.to put an end to drunkenness, I neglect my duty, and, | eg fares lam individually concerned, for me to adopt | any other course than total abstinence from all intoxica- ting drinks, would be to live in direct opposition to the will ofmy Heavenly Father ; and, as a necessary conse- quence, to entail destruction on myself. I dare not assert ,because [ do not believe, that to drink any aleoholic beverage is sinful, abstractedly considered : but I dare assert, that to refuse my influence and exam- ple toa society which aims at so much good, and bas been, and still is, blessed by Almighty God to such an amnazing extent, would be to stultify my profession of Christianity. Praying humbly anllinestiy that God may bless these remarks to your minds, and influence your conduct by them, I remain dear brethren, _ Yours, most affectionately, COURTENAY T. HARRY.

The startling draw back on nearly all Medicinal Afi- ents has ever been that in their process of purgation and purification, they have also debilitated the system.— Hence purgative medicines have always been regarded as at best but a necessary evil, patients resorting to them for the relief of one disease at the expense of another.— To obviate this, physicians have long sought for an a- gent that would at the same time purge, purify and | strengthen, but their efforts were nearly fruitless, and they had almost despaired of success when the labors of science and research were rewarded by a discovery which fully realized the fondest desires of the Medical Faculty, and which is justly regarded as one of the most important tri- This impor- tant desideratum is named Dr. Le Roy's Vegetable Uni- | ruptand vitiated humours, and unhealthy accumulations from the body in a manner never before rivalled, and which yet produce no weaknes3 or lassitude whatever, | but on the contrary tone t'ie stomach, and invigorate the | constitution during the progress of their operations!

Napoleon met her near Compeigne. Springing trom his own carriage, he eagerly leaped into that of the Empress, and, entirely regardless of all the restraints and etiquette of courts, folded her in his embrace with the most youthful impetuosity. The postillions were ordered to drive upon the gallop to} the palace of Compeigne. This uney- pected ardor was not at all unwelcome to Maria, and a few hours in the society of her imperial husband invested ker with such a queenly ease and atfability, that she could hardly be recognized by her for- ‘merattendants.

Miss Williamson was waiting alone in the passage to receive her; the key softly turned, and the door opened, and Miss Clark, pulling off her little kid slippers, which were wet through, employed themselves until morning in drying, as well as they were able Miss Clark’s clothes. At the first dawn of morn- ing they stepped out, and a hack being procured, she departed for New Castle.— Miss Williamson gave her all the money she had, $5—as at the time she left Col.

At New Castle, Miss Clark met her lov- er and they were met by Miss Williamson, who acted as bridesmaid on the occasion of their marriage, Miss Clark, who we shall now call Mrs. Whitney, set about hunting up facts in relation to her birth.

GAINES. interest of the people of this country, we think it will not be uninteresting to give Mira Clark, (now Mrs. Gaines,) who | early life resided here. was born in New ‘Orleans; her tather, Daniel, (well known | in the political and commercial history of | Louisiana,) being a partner of Col. Davis, of this country. | when only afew months old, she was | adopted by Col. Davis, and brought up as | (his own child. A man by the name of Ralph destroyed her father’s will and ob- | tained possession of the whole of the im- of nearly the whole of the new part of New Orleans, (at that time worth near five millions of dollars, and now worth much more.) She lived in entire ignor- | ance of her parentage for a long time.— , The first idea she had of her parentage, | was being taunted by a girl at school with | the fact that Col. Davis was not her fa- ther. Afterwards she discovered it from some papers which she found, while look- ing for some documents which she was to send to the Colonel at Harrisburg, they at that time were living in Pennsylvania.— Some time afterwards she visited the Sul- phur Springs. Virginia, and while there, on account of her carriage breaking, she became acquainted with a young man named Wm. Whitney, a son of General Whitney, of New York. Soon afterwards he visited her in Philadelphia, but the Colonel not approving of the match, he was forbid the house. Col. Davis soon after moved to Delamore place, near Wil- mington, and Miss Clark not being per- mitted to see her lover, she corresponded with him. To prevent detection, her letters were directed to Miss Mary Ann Williamson, (now the wite of Rev. Cory Chambers, of this city,) daughter of our late Mayor and Post Master, she carefully keeping the secret, and punctually delivering the let- ters, into the hands of Miss Clark, and sending her’s to Mr. Whitney in return. - Miss Clark was by this time fully ac- quainted with her parentage and the im- mense estate of her father. At least she received a letter from Mr. Whitney, urg- ing her by all she held true and the love she bore for him, to elope with him. The plan was laid and the time fixed. Whitney was to be at New Castle, where she was to join him, None was let into the secret but Miss Williamson. To pre- vent detection, Miss Clark called the dogs together about Col. Davis’ place that eve- | ning, put them in one of the outbuildings, | and locked themallup.

She has, at the same time, an in- domitable resolution as every circum- stance of her life hasshown. She is very charitable and warm hearted, and never forgets her old friends. She, even now, remembers with gratitude the services of her early friend, (formerly Miss William- son.) now Mrs. Chambers, and assures her when she comes into her estate, she will remunerate her for her former kindness. As we see it stated she has lately presented | two of her friends with $5,000 each, we suppose her bequest to Mrs. Chambers will be considerable. We understand she will soon visit her in Wilmington.

Nor is Masonary without her gifts upon her coun. try’s altar in our present sanguinary contest with Mexico, Amongst the number of those who have learned their duty to magistrates and the supreme government at her altar, in their most solemn vows, may be mentioned the name of our most illustrious P.

Of Bro. Wilson as a Mason, it is prohably more pertinent that we should speak. Particu- larly in the active disch@rge of those cardinal virtues which the precepts uf our Order incul- cate in every bosom, Charity was pre-eminent. Many incidents in his history illustrate the truth of this remark. We will allude to but two, which are sufficient to place his name high up- on the roll of benefactors of his species. On one occasion, when provisions were exceeding- | ly scarce in the county of Edgecomb, and want | was stalking abroad in the land, Bro.

"The New York Courier contains a }stter from it¢ Washington Correspondent, dated Feb. 17, from which we take the following paragraphs : Mr. Clay dined yesterday with a large party at the President’s, where every thing went off in fine style, and apparently without the least | surprise to avy one present. Not a word was said on the war, or the subject of Mr. ‘Trist’s espatchies, dnd Mr. Clay, though not a candi- Gate for the Presidency, was decidedly the Li- oft of the feast. SItfs remored here, and the rumor can be traced to ptetty responsible sources, that Mr. Clay has become sulished that he cannot be | elected, and has written a letter of Declination ‘tells “the people of the United States,’ with the frankness that belongs to him, that he is | a Whig ;” but he adds, in substance, tn the a? “nett gentence, that if the Whigs choose to elect | sah Presidency, it must be simply upon ‘this. wled ge of his politica] opinions, and not | pon Specific pledges to carry out a string of ' © sweltering resolutions,’ as Mr. Hunter, of Jefferson, humorously styled the celebrated Bal. | timore schedule.

We challenge a compari- son between the action of that body during the past “twelve weeks” and that of the last House of Representatives, in which the Administra. tion had a majority of nearly two to one, during the same precise period of its first session.— Upon the 3d of March (the date taken by the Union”) instead of the number of acts and resolutions passed at this session, there had passed but seven ects and éwo joint resolutions ; and up to the mentorable 13th of May of that year—more than two months later than the pre- sent date that Congress had passed only twelve acts, to which, on the day mentioned, the two war acts were hastily added, bringing the number up to fourteen, the exact number already passed by the present Congress. We expect our venerable neighbor, after this exposition, to be as obstinately mute for the fu- ture upon this matter as he has been upon the questions we put to him two or three weeks ago, for further information, as to the person, place, and process of the manufacture in this country of British opinion upon the War, and upon the Subtreasury, to be re-imported to the United States for the American market.

Mr. Grant ques. | tioned the boy as to where he came from &c., when the boy declared he was free, and gave this account of himself: ‘That his name is Ed.

This market has steadily declined since our last advices, the above being the highest prices at present attainable. This depression has in a great measure been caused by the large sup- plies of home produce which has come into the country markets, as well as the increased im- ports.

A sensible improvement has been produced in this market since the departure of the last steamer, operations having enlarged, with a de- cided itmprovement in prices; that, however, has been caused more by accounts from Amer- ica of diminished receipts into the ports, and the moderate shipments to this ‘country, than any marked revival. _ General Intelligence.—The British Parlia. ment has reassembled, and the first debate of importance arose upon a selection for a select committee to inquire into the candition and-pros- pects of the West India colonies. ‘The appoint- ment of a committee was acceded to; but up. | on the express understanding that no change | would be. made in the policy of government oth- er than that already announced.

As the time of year is approaching when we may expect to see some ten or a dozen wagons and teams enrployed in spreading gravel, as it is called, on our streets and pavements, we have concluded to drop a few remarks on the subject. From 500 to $700 are annually expended on our streets and pavements, and we venture to say that money was never laid out to as little purpose—never more signally failed in accom. plishing the object for which it was expended. This is owing, mainly, in our opinion, to two causes, to wit: the quality of the material used, and the manner in which itis laid down. Both are very bad, and scarcely ever fail to place the font in regular squares, the Court ) Occupying an ample yard-in the ALBEMARLE. je This is the County Town’ of Stanly uae ee ~ | thé county. seat. “It is yetquite ve exceeding six or seten years: It apie By ak P This is a n , but not a showy buj constructed of wood.

HORRID DEPRAVITY. At East Cambridge, Mass., George Hunnewell, was recently sentenced to be hung for burning up his mother’s house with his sick and he!pless brother. Referring to the prisoner's intemperate habits, the Judge expressed a hope that the awful fate which ithad | bfought upon the prisoner would serve as a warning to | others to shun that detestable and debasing vice, the hab- it of excessive indulgenee in intoxicating drinks; and if any heard him who were inclined that way, he Loped they wotld seek to regain the path of sobriety, which is the | only path of safety and peace. Then addressing the prisoner again, he emp!ored him to employ the short time allogted him on earth in seeking the mercy: of God, by Bingere repentance an-l earnest and persevering prayer for forgiveness. He then pronounced the sentence, that for the crime of arson in the night time, he be hung by the neck till dead, at such time as the executive depart- ment of the government shall appoiot. Not a motion was observable in Hunnewell’s frame, until the words “ hanged by the neck” were slowly but emphatically ut- tered by the Chief Justice, and then the heaving of his shoulders indicated strong convulsive action. He did not raise his bead till the officer touched him. He then rose with a quick motion, spoke not a word, hurriedly put on his cap, and almost with the officers. When he got into the street, he gave voice to his pent up rave in the most dreadful oaths and | imprecations against the judges, his family, mankind, and the Almighty ; and atter he was returned to his cell he continued to inveigh aud blassheme in the same awful | strain.” rushed out of the court room | It gives us no pleasure to publish such things.

Mr. Editor: Ihave long been convin- ced of the importance of selecting cotton seed to plaut, and believe it to be more iinportant than selecting seed corn. We all know that cotton is continnually de- generating, and that new kinds and even | diferent species are continually making their appearance in the old stock, hence | the necessily for selecting the pure seed. | Now to prove this, you need only go into a cotton field, and you will soon find a stalk of Naukeen cotton. Well, how did it come there /—there were none of the scved of that cotton planted, and so it must have come from the other cotton. Now. tuke this Nankeen cotton, pick out the seed, and plant them the next year, and you will have mostly Nankeen cotton, but there will be some among it, as pure white as you ever saw, although there was not ‘a single seed of white cotton planted. Now if wuat I have said be true, (and [ presume no one acquainted with the cotton plant will deny it.) how important is it, that every man who makes a busi- ness of raising cetton should pay atten- | tion to selecting his seed?) What kind of | corn would a man raise, if he were to go | into his crib, and gather promisculously | | _long ears, shot ones, rotten corn and all? 'Just in the same way acts the man, who plants cotton seed without paying any at- tention tothem. But the furmer contends that selecting seed corn, is essential in or- der to raise a good kind, and keep the sort ‘that suits him. Well, if this rule will ap- ply to corn, why will it not apply, with equal propriety, to cotton? By going in- to the patch, and examining different stalks | of cotton. you will rapidly discover the dif- ference :i them. On some you will no- | lice the locks are hanging out their full length, having barely sufficient staple to hold them together, and you may see eve- | iry seedinthe boll. If you will examine. the seed in the cotton, you will find them to be black or green seed.

The startling draw back on nearly all Medicinal Afi- | ents has ever been that in their process of purgation and purification, they have also debilitated the system.— | Hence purgative medicines have always been regarded as at best but a necessary evil, patients resorting to them | for the relief of one disease at the expense of another.— | ‘To obviate this, physicians have long sought for an a- | gent that would at the same time purge, purify and ; Strengthen, but their efforts were nearly fruitless, and they hadalmost despaired of success when the labors of science | and research were rewarded by a discovery which fully | realized the fondest desires of the Medical Faculty, and which is justly regarded as one of the most important tri- umphs that Pharmacy has ever achieved. This impor- tant desideratum is named Dr. Le Roy’s Vegetable Uni- versal Pills, which purify the blood, and remove all cor- rupt and vitiated humours, and unhealthy accumulations from the body in a manner never before rivalled, and which yet produce no weakness or lassitude whatever, but on the contrary tone the stomach, and invigorate the constitution during the progress of their operations!

Sir, | wage no war against any relig- ious opinions of foreigners or Americans, nor do I conceive Jesuit influence to have REMARKS OF MR. LEVIN, OF PENNSYLVANIA, In the House of Representatives, March 2d. Mr. LEVIN said: Mr. Chairman, I have been so often misrepresented by the paid agents of the Jesuits who hang a- round this hall, and who swarm over our land, that | have come prepared to-day. a charge-ship to Rome, and still more sur- prised when my friend, the honorable gen- tentiary. An embassy to Rome I had sup- posed to be the pet measure of the Presi- dent of the United States. Sympathy with Pope Pius 1X. appears to be the hob- by horse of political leaders. O'Connell, the Irish reformer, is dead. The curtain has fallen upon that last act of the na- tional farce, and now the Pope, an Italian reformer, steps upon the stage to conclude what O'Connell left unfinished. The hur- meetings have been held; sympathy for the Pope has grown almost into a fashion : yet, sir, in no legitimate sense can this embassy to Rome be called a national measure, intended for the public benefit. We have no commerce to protect in the | Roman States ; we have noseamen whose rights may need even the supervision of a Government agent or consul; we have no navy riding in her only harbor; we have no interests that may be exposed to jeopardy for want of an ambassador. The Papal flag has never been known to wave in an American port. No Ame- rican vessel has received the visit of a Pope. Dwelling under the shadow of the ruins of antiquity, we have never been disturbed but by the bulls of Pope Greg- ory and the intrigues of his Jesuits. What then, has produced this sudden revolution _in the concerns of the countries?) Weare rican people by a sermon from the nation- al forum, that he is the mainspring of the American Congress ? Combining the cha- racter of priest and politician, allowed to the ministers of no other sect, this ambi- tious demagogue, taking for his motto that “impudence is power,” has dared to dis- play an extent of audacity never practised and never allowed to any other clergy- man. This embassy, and all the public turmoil that has led to its suggestion, is the work of an intriguing, restless, grasp- ing, and ambitious priest, who fans in his bosom the nefarious hope that he is him- self to be the destined organ between a free republic and an absolutg hierarch. ls it not enough that heShould draw us into the vortex of European tyranny, su- perstition, and corruption, but must he al- so dream of the vast honor of consumma- ting in his own person this revolting alli- and the purity of youthful innocence !/— For what, after all, has this popular Pope that they might never have power to break them asunder? What are all his reforms but ,ilded thraldom, and slavery made eternal by modern rivets forged in the fires of that “ progress” which serves, equally to gloss the schemes of tyrants and the projects of imbecility ; which can be used ‘with as much plausibility by the arch-tyrant, who understands how to en- slave men through their passions and im- aginations, as the’ political empiric who disguises his own ignoranee by prating of the march of «ind; whose tongue dis- courses of benevolence while his iron hand is armed with the power of oppression ? I ask has Pius IX. abolished tithes ?— Has he granted universal suffrage, or any suffrage, to his Papal subjects? Has he established a representative government? Has he introduced trial by jury? Has he granted the writ of habeas corpus? Has Has he established common schools ?— told that Pius the 9th is a reformer. In- deed! In what sense is he a reformer? Has he divested himself of any of his ab- solute prerogatives? Has he cast off his claims to infallibility ? Has he flung aside his triple crown? Has he diminished aught from the imperial elevation of the No one in | And then | The monster had its I spoke to him, | ‘tiara? And does he no longer hold in bondage the bodies and souls of his sub- jects? Has he become a republican ?— Does he acknowledge the inherent equal- ity of mankind? Has he abolished tithes ? Has he emancipated his people? Has he suppressed the Jusuits? Far from it.— Nothing of this hasbeen done. He main- tains his own prerogatives as absolute as Gregory the 19th, or any of his illustrious predecessors. In what, then, does the world give him credit for being a reform- er? For building up ona new and firmer foundation his own secular power; for | permitting a press to be established in ' Rome under his own supervision and con- trol; for carrying out measures not to be censured, but certainly giving him no pre- _ tensions beyond that of a selfish sagacity, intent on the study of all means calcula- _ted to add stability to his spiritual power and firmness to his temporal throne. But a sagacious monarch does not constitute a liberal reformer, even though he may correct many abuses that disgraced his predecessors, who, by their bigotry and _ intolerance, had reduced the once boasted power of the Papal See to a mere cipher. | Asa free and civilized Government, anx- ious for the continued progress of the pop- ular mind, we had infinitely more reason for applauding Gregory the 19th for pull- ing down the power of the Roman See than sending an embassy to Pius the 9th for having revived the drooping giant, and imparted fresh energy to the most des- potic power the world has ever felt. Why /was no ambassador sent to Gregory ?— Why is an ambassador sentto Pius? Not because the interests of the country re- quire it. And who believes it is because of the landed liberality of one who seems ambitious of the renown of a man of the _age? Who believes it is because Pius encourages railways; for what are Ro- man railways to us? We have a more rational though less pleasing solution of this wonderful and newly awakened sym- pathy for Rome in the increase of the Ro- /man Catholic vote, caused by the Irish ‘famine and the difficulty of living in the |German States, which sends among us | such countless legions of foreigners. And what must be the occupation of the | American ambassador when he reaches 'Rome? Will he devote his attention to the increase of this supply of alien voters, or to the interests of the United States in ‘the Cabinets of continental Europe !— Having no commercial or political duties to perform, save those connected with the American ballot-box, he must keep up the supply of voters, who are to be judicious- ly located by the legate of the Pope. And who so capable of this great diplomatic duty as the man who has so industriously agitated this sympathy to Rome, to gratify his inordinate and gigantic ambition; who, | for years past, has been the dictator, the trader, and the pander of the foreign Ro- man Catholic vote; who one minute acts the priest and the next day plays the po- litician ; who would have the world to be- lieve that he is greater than the President of the United States because he is the power behind the throhe who moves the President ; who would have the world You; there is no safety but in total abstinence.” believe that, because he flatters the Ame- Has he struck dawn the power of the cofi= fessional?

We have sympathized with the inde- pendence of Greece, of South America, and of Mexico, when, casting off the yoke of kings, they established their claims to self-government. But how did we sym- pathize? Not by sending an ambassador, but by passing resolutions in Congress applauding the act of emancipation.— | Here were cases in which nations achiev- ed their freedom, and yet we sent no am- bassadors. If Pius has emancipated the Roman people, bring forward your reso- lutions, and then we may have an oppor- | tunity to inquire how far the extent of his reforms will justify even that manifesta- tion of our national applause. The inno- vation now proposed is against all prece- dent, is frowned down by all principle, is denounced by facts, and rendered ridicu- to her protestant contumacy. Are we to bend the knee first, and then to acknowl- edge the Pope as the source of all power? Must we prove recreant to our glorious Declaration of Independence? Must we renounce popular rights? On what terms is our ambassador to go? Does the pro- position come from the Pope or originate with our own Cabinet? These are, im- portant questions to answer. Hasiiis Ho- liness turned democrat, and fallen intfove with our free institutions? This is not probable ; for if he cannot tolerate the idea of a Protestant hierarchy like Eng- land, he will not assuredly be able to look with complacency upon a people who maintain the radical equality of the hu- man race as we do. If the appointment were a mere mer- chantile arrangement, to negotiate a trea- ty of trade and commerce, it would wear a color more rational—even although the Pope is not bound ro KEEP FAITH WITH HERETICS! But, alas! the Pontine Marsh- es are the boundaries of the trade and commerce of the Roman Pontiff. He has no trade, no commerce, no exchanges o value to offer for our cotton, our tobacco, our rice, our flour or our hemp. It be- lous by its extravagance. It would indeed be a farce but for the tragic character of its consequences; and these entitle it to our unmitigated abhorrence.

When nations profess to assimilate on principles of amity, and to draw closer the ties of good will, it ison the ground of a common cause—equally dear to both | —either of freedom or of absolute power. ‘If Rome were a republic, the proposal to send an ambassador to preserve princi- ples common to both Governments, and equally dear to the people of both coun- tries, would rest on a different foundation. In that case we should have congenial in- terests to preserve ; in that case we should be co-operating in the common cause of human rights. But now we exhibit to the world the spectacle of a pure antag- onism in our system of government to that of Rome. Two systems more opposite could not exist. Whenliberty makes con- cessions to tyranny, which gains by it? Not freedom—not the cause of haman rights. Despotism thrives by it. We lend encouragement toa system of government stern tyranny, the same inflexible com- | pound of earthly and celestial despotism. | Pius is now doing more than | This is the new : If the Pope will not establish a | of the people by the desecration of their ' constitution, by the violence done to the ' genius of our Government, by the outrage on free principles involved in the propo- | sition to recognize Papal Rome, an infal- lible Church power, as the head of the | State. | When we talk of the genius of repub- | lican government, and allude to the spirit ot’ free institutions, said to be so mortally | wounded by the Mexican war, let us re- “member the wrong done to the spirit of freedom by this scheme of an ambassa- dor to the Pope, whose spiriual character is the absorbing one of his throne, and who, if he is no Pope, is no sovereign—_ he holding his right to rule his subjects from a divine, nota human source. In all other monarchies the right divine is abol- ished. In Rome, it is the essence of sec- ular as well as ecclesiastical power. And | hence it is that no Pope can be a reformer, in the true sense of that term. He can- ‘not give the people the rights they are entitled to, because from that moment he ' would cease to be Pope, and the people, ceasing to be slaves, would become sov- ereign. Pius never can do what would entitle him to American approbation. No Pope can ever be worthy of an ambassa- ‘dor from this republic on grounds such as we now hear maintained. “ Would you have a serpent sting you ‘twice ?” We have had experience of the ‘evils of monarchy in its best form, and | shall we risk the perils of its deadly ven- om in the worst?) When didthe Church of Rome, or the Pope, ever receive hom- age that it did not exact fealty? When did it ever pause in its giant march after universal dominion? When did it ever ‘sleep if power was to be gained by wak- ing? When did it ever fascinate without the intention to destroy ? The flood of immigration is sweeping its millions of foreign Roman Catholic vo- ‘ters over the land. The past is gloomy ‘enough ; the present awfully portentous ; 'but the future is black “ with shadows, ‘clouds. and darkness.” This country seems ‘destined to be the grand theatre of Ro- ‘man Catholic power—not American pa- |pistry, but the papistry of Rome—of the ‘old world—of Austria and of the Pope.— ‘Shall we grow wise in time, or shall we ‘surrender up our rights without resist- ance?

We are now asked to become | voluntary agents in enthralling ourselves ; £ comes, then, a pure political embassy ; yet having no political relations with Rome, it becomes reduced to a mere nullity, an empty form, an unmeaning pageant, a rediculous display, wicked in its concep- { | digal in its expenditure. Is this a time to play with expensive baubles, while we are borrowing millions upon millions to prosecute the war? Must we add to the burdens of our national debt by taxing tea and coffee, in order that we may send an ambassador to the Roman Pontiff, to ac- quire the vices or familiarize himself with the frivolities of European courts ! _mer as a constitutional monarch? Is he | willing to part with any of his boasted | prerogatives as an absolute king. Listen to his own declarations, spoken at the last opening of his Council of State, and mark despotic character!

What would be the direful con- | sequences of this dread/ul overshadowing of the moral and intellectual world?

And yet what hope of exemption gleams in the future, unless the friends of civil and religious liberty, animated by a sublime devotion to the welfare of their children and the freedom | of posterity, now combine to arrest the march of papal usurpation before it over-_ spreads the land, and plants its “Garrt- sons” of power deep in the bosom of our valleys, irresistible, and unresisted ?

I have already shown you that our min- | ister will have no duties to perform in.

Sir, this constitutes the gist, the very marrow of the question. He is destined to be a vigilent observer of the ruffled wa- ters of political agitation—an active cor- respondent, advisory and directory, and. sofar as the Jesuits in this country are concerned, mandatory—concentrating the combined force of foreign Roman Catho- lie action and the foreign Roman Catho- | lie vote upon such men and such meas. ures as are best calculated to extend the | temporal power and political influence of the Romish priesthood ! Shall such a consummation be brought | about or hastened hy the action of those Who claim to be the descendants of the | Pilgrims? Sir,J trust not. Does England send a minister to Rome? No; and yet theie international relations, having espe- Gial reference to the condition of Ireland, @re.fall of importance.

He has political sagacity enough to discover that the practical workings out of the principles of freedom, through the medium of universal suffrage, can be adroitly con- verted into the means of supporting the spirit of superstition as the basis of politi- cal power.

Here was a double appeal—as_ subjects of the Pope you must advocate repeal, and as members of his chureh you must oppose slavery in the United , States, although the Popes of Rome had given it their.pious countenance and protection fora period of fourteen hundred years. O'Connell had felt the aid that abolitionism | had given him in England ; he had overcalcu- lated its power and influence in this country, and yet he was willing to combine the Irish Catholic and abolition vote inthe United States ‘in order to hold the balance ot power and bring both in subjection to the dictation of the Pope of Rome! Al this crisis a body of patriotic Americans at the North, viewing Southern rights and Southern institutions as a part of American rights and American institutions, planted them. ‘selves in self defence. They resisted the right of the Pope or his demagogue to interfere with any American institution which existed under the constitution of their country. ‘They called public meetings to denounce this wanton and gross outrage ; and it was under such circum. stances that ten American citizens were shot down in cold blood, by the advice and counsel of the very Jesuit priesthood whom this appro- priation proposes to encourage in their murder. ous assault upon the lives of the native born sons of the soil.

Sir, the line of demarcation which separates toleration from bigotry and persecution is too boldly and broadly drawn by the rights of man, _mental principles of religion, as they exist in letters of living light upon the pages of the Bible.

It is said that a letter froma good source was read in the Senate, during the secret session on the treaty, which showed that our troops were dying in Mexico at the rate of nearly a thousand a month, and that this fact influenced the vote in favor of the treaty. The Washington Union, speaking of the ratification of the Mexican Treaty of Peace, says: The President lost no time in apprizing 'our commanding general in Mexico of the result; for Maj. Graham—than whom | the country does not present a more effi- | cient officer—leftt Washington on Satur- day night with despatches for Mexico. The next step, of course, was to trans- init an aathenticated copy of the ratified treaty, With proper instructions, and an able commissioner to bear it to Mexico, and make the necessary diplomatic ex- planations to that government. Not a moment has been lost for this purpose.— The Senate having adjourned over from Friday night to this day, (Thursday,) the President had no opportunity of nomina- | ting a commissioner until this day’s ses- , sion.

Louis Phillippe had abdicated the Throne, (whether volunta- rily or not is not stated, but we suppose 5 | that his act was the effect rather than the cause of the Revolution.) A great deal of fighting had occurred in the streets of Paris, about 500 persons being killed.— The Throne was borne about the streets 'by the triumphant Revolutionists ; the Royal Palace of the Tuilleries was sack- ed, and the furniture thrown out of the windows. The King’s family was safe, at the last |accounts—a most gratifying fact, highly | creditable to the Revolutionists.

It is singular that the power of a magnet is increased by making ad- ditions to the weight it supports, while if it has no opportunity to exercise its strength in this manner on iron, like an enervated man it grows weaker by degrees. It is favorable to the pow- er of a magnet to keep the north pole upper- most.

The startling draw back on nearly all Medicinal Afi- ents has ever been that in their process of purgation and purification, they have also debilitated the system.— Hence purgative medicines have always been regarded as at best but a necessary evil, patients resorting to them for the relief of one disease at the expense of another.— To obviate this, physicians have long sought for an a- gent that would a: the same time purge, purify and strengthen, but their effurts were nearly fruitless, and they had almost despaired of success when the labors of science and research were rewarded by a discovery which fully | realized the fondest desires of the Medical Faculty, and which is justly regarded as one of the most important tri- | umphs that Pharmacy has ever achieved. This impor- tant desideratum is named Dr. Le Roy’s Vegetable Uni- | versal Pills, which purify the blood, and remove all cor- rupt and yitiated humours, and unhealthy accumulations | contractors for the cars and locomotives on the St. Petersburgh and Moscow Railway, have ob. | ! tained the contract for the new iron bridge across | ‘the Neva.

They are so arranged that two grain crops, never follow each other, but are separated by root crops. grasses, &c. This system prevents the necessity of the soil yielding similar ingredients— through two or more successive seasons which it will seldom do to any extent suf- ficient to produce a good second crop. Time is required for it to decompose such of the ingredients which it contains, as are necessary to form what are called the inorganic portions to be taken up and ap- propriated by the plant. It also enables the cultivator to apply his green and pu- resent manures to such crops as are most woperly adapted to receive them.

The campaign of 1848 in Michigan was commenced yesterday in this city ; and the result of the first battle will cheer the hearts of the Whigs of the West.— Probably a more warmly-contested fight than that of yesterday has never taken place in Detroit.

It is the all absorbing matter at present,—every C body is enquiring what the end will be. As yet, all is involved in doubt. Whether the peace of the world will be disturbed by the Revolution, no one can tell. Watrer F. Leak, Esq., who has recently been interrogaied as to whether he will run as the Democratic candidate for Governer, if nomi- nated, replies by saying, that if it be expected of him to canvass the State he will not consent to receive a nomination. He gives a number of very good reasons for his objection to can- vassing, though his party friends generally dis. sent to them. For our part, and we believe it is the ‘senti- ment of the people, we are heartily sick of the slumping system ; and it is especially a matter of regret with us to see candidates for the dig. nified place of Governor, dashing through the State to show themselves, and to talk fur the amusement of crowds got together for the oc.

Besides the influence which -the Vote for Governor will exert upon the Presidential Election in November, the Legislature will have to choose a Judge of the Supreme Coun, four State Solicitors, and a United States Sen. ator, Mr. Badger’s time expiring on the 4th of March, 1849. Besides all this, if we lose the Legislature, the State will be again Gerryman. dered into Congressional Districts, the Loco. foco organs having already avowed this ae their purpose, if they succeed in carrying the Legis. lature. Our friends, therefore, seeing the im. portance of the result at stake, will see also, we hope, the danger and fully of indulging in fruitless regrets, and the necessity of perfect harmony and concert of action. It is no part of true men to give vent to bickerings and feuds in the hour of trial to their common cause, and in the face of a common enemy. THE SONS OF TEMPERANCE. The Mocksville Division, on Tuesday evening last, held a public meeting. The members of the Division, together with a goodly number of the brethren from Sal- isbury, marched in procession from the Methodist Church to the Presbyterian Church; when after being seated, the Rev. Mr. Atxey, the Worthy Patriarch, of the Division, rose and stated the object of making this public demonstration, to be to make known more fully the views and intentions of the Order, to allay any pre- judice against its mode of organization, | which might exist. After he concluded his introductory remarks,—the opening Ode having been sung and prayer offered up to a Throne of Grace, the Rev.

' MISCELLANEOUS. TRICKS OF FORTUNE TELLERS. [From the Gazette of the Union.) A year or two since, @ lady residing in Ho- boken, had a tender and well-beloved daughter stolen away from ber door during an exhibition that took place in the neighborhood, and which was witnessed by crowds of persons from this icity. As might naturally be supposed, the dis- tressed mother caught at every means to obtain information in regard to her Jost child ; and the press willingly lent their powerful aid to assist her; but still no tidings of the tender one could be obtained. In her anguish she applied to the fortune-tellers for information, and in conse- quence of what they told her, she travelled to distant cities in search of her child, and it is almost needless to say she spent her strength “for nought. Thus was her mind kept in a con- tinual state of suspense, balancing between hope and fear, for many long and weary months, | by these wretches, they caring not for the ago. ny that rent a mother’s heart, so long as they At length she visited a fortune-teller on the wes. ‘tern side of the city, who, more merciful than the others, graciously told her that her child | had been taken by a wealthy foreign lady, who needed it in order to enable her to inherit some could filch from her a little filthy lucre. property, and when her object was accomplish- ed the child would be returned to her. thus, we suppose, her mind has been set at rest, unless, perchance, she has since visited anoth- er of like character, who has sent her on more wearisome journeys. We are now about to relate another circum- stance that occurred a few years since, more diabolical in its character than any thing of the kind that has been laid before the public. It | appears that a German gentleman and his wife, residing on the eastern: side of the city, had a lovely boy, an only child, stolen from them ; and all the energies of their minds were put in requisition with a view to his recovery—so sen. sitive were they, that a hint was only necessa. ry to make them travel for miles at a time, in hope of hearing tidings of their lost treasure. In this way much money was spent, and several months passed away, without their hearing a word of their son, and they were inconsolable for his loss. About this time there resided in this city a | French Canadian woman, who pretended to | possess a knowledge of future events, gad from the celebrity which she obtained by private means, many persons were induced to visit her. persons that called upon her, the exact location | of their dwelling ; and at the end of eighteen -months from the time the child was lost, she | souri river, called “ Winter Quarters.” This | succeeded in getting hold of a woman who re. _sided next door to the family referred to. ‘This woman came to consult in r2gard to eleven sil- ver spoons that had been stolen from her; the still remained in her possession, and this she And | She was constantly in the habit of inquiring of | | twelfth spoon being in another part of the house, | the parents should pay to the seer $200 in-cash, and give a note for $300 more, to be paid on the restoration of the child. ~ ae | This being arranged, the seer pretended to go through with some magicel operations, and ther directéd the parents to proceed as far as Troy, where they would hear something in re- lation to the child, which would probably enable them to trace out his place of abode. Arriving at Troy, they were met by a colored man and woman, bearing a resemblance to the persons described to them. ‘The anxious father mace known to them their errand, and were told that ' such a child had been seen by them, and they then had a piece of the dress he wore, which the parents recognized as belonging to their son. In consequence of the information they receiv- | ed, they rode several miles into the country, but losing all trace of the child, they were obliged to return to the city, and again consult the for- tune-teller. The magical process was again _resorted to; the parents were directed to return to Troy, and take a certain road, leading to the | interior, and they would certainly find the child. The direction was complied with ; and, after riding a distance of some thirty or forty miles from Troy, their eyes were suddenly delighted with a sight of their long lost boy, standing by the side of the road, picking blackberries. Who | brought him there, or where he had been since he left his home, he could give no intelligible account; all he knew, was, that he had been left on the road by a man whom he had not _seen before, *¢ | Thus far had matters proceeded, when the | police authorities got scent of what was going on, and the gentleman was forbidden to pay the note, and on going to the house of the fortune- teller, the officers ascertained that she had left in haste, having heard of their approach. They then proceeded to examine the mystical glass, covered with a thin coating of white wax, which being heated with steam, conveyed to it through a concealed pipe, became transparent, so that a person could see through it. Behind this was placed a tolerably well executed portrait of the lost boy, and by letting in a cold stream of air | from a refrigerator on the other side of the wax, it became congealed, and the portrait was hid- den from the sight. Subsequent investigation brought to light the facts in regard to the spoons, and also the fact that the child had been stolen by the seer—placed at a boarding school in Troy—afierwards removed to several other pla- ces, and finally left on the road just in time to meet its parents. | | | | | English Mormon Immigrants.— Rebuilding of their Churches.—We learn from a reliable source, say's the St. Louis Republican, that seve- ral thousand English families, members of the _ Mormon Chursh, will arrive at New Orleans during this spring, on their way to join the set. tlement formed in the Great Salt Lake Valley. An agent of the Mormon Church has been sent to New Orleans to provide passages tor the emigrants on boats to St. Louis, as fast as they arrive. Another agent is stationed in St. Louis, | to engage transportation for them up the Mis. \ | | { | encampment is on lands owned by the Omaha Indians, and in the immediate vicinity of Coun. _cil Bluffs. From that point, or the vicinity, they expect every spring to send out all who are pre- | pared to migrate to the Valley of the Salt Lake. It is calculated that from eight to ten thou. | sand souls, from England alone, will join the exhibited to the fortune-teller, as a specimen of emigrating party this season. In addition, seve- those that had been stolen. She was told to call again in four or five days, and, leaving the The fortune. teller immediately sent out and had eleven spoon, she returned to her home. | | | Spoons made to correspond exactly with the one left her, and then bad them thrown into a cis. | tern in the yard of the next house to the one in | which resided the lady who had consulted her, | When the woman calied again, the fortune. ‘teller went through a variety of manceuvres, and at last told her that her spoons were deposi- ted in acistern, which she particularly describ- _ed—and the dupe proceeded at once to have every cistern in the neighborhood searched, but without success. She then called on the seer again, Who promised to examine further into the matter, and afler several visits, she positive. ly declared that they were in the cistern she ral other large parties are expected from other quarters of Europe. At one time, it was the intention of the elders of the church to send these emigrants by vessels to Charges, and thence across the continent to the Pacific, and by vessels to the California; but since they have located their city in the Great Salt Lake Valley, and determined to build their church there, they have instructed their disciples to take the overland route from the head of navigation on the Missouri. Those coming from beyond the seas, will as far as practicable, take vessels for New Orleans, and thence by boats reach the general rendezvous on the Missouri.

This medicine is acknowledged to be one of the most valuable ever discovered, as a purifier of the blood and fluids. It is superior to Sarsaparilla, whether as a so- dorific or alternative. It stands infinitely before all the preparations or combinations of Mercury. Its purgative properties are alone of incalculable value—for these pills may be taken daily for any period, and instead of a weak- ening by the cathartic effect, they add strength by taking away the cause of weakness. ‘There isno good Mercu- ry does, which these pills do not likewise. But they | have none of the miserable effects of that deadly specific. The teeth are not injured—the bones and litnbs are par- alyzed—no—but in the stead of thes@ distressing symp- toms, new life and consequent animation is evident inev- | ery movement of the body. Brandreth’s pills are indeed | | a Universal Remedy, for they cure opposite diseases :— | they cure Inflamation and Chronic Rheumatism! They cure Diabetts of Urine. They cure Dysentery and Con- ' gtitutional Costiveness. T'hey will cure these apparently opposite diseases, because they cleanse and purify the blood, provided, however, nature is not beyond all human | assistance. | In all cases they will be found a safe and simple reme- | dy, yet all powerful for the removal of diseases, whether chronic or recent, infections or otherwise. They do not | render the system liable to be affected by any changes | of temperature. The very cause, or occasion of the hu- man frame being affected by colds and coughs is remov- ed by their use. Therefore, they may be used at all times and seasons without damage, and change of diet, and any extra care is unnecessary. These Pills are for sale at 25 cents per box, by our a- gents in every town in the State,and by the following highly respectable gentlemen in this vicinity, viz: Brown & James, Salisbury ; David Fraley, Rockville ; A. & D.

Mr. Editor,—Many practical men op- pose deep ploughing, imagining that it must injure their soils to turn any clay ; | While they entertain this idea, they go on, that it was in approaching this portion of | her task, that the mother found her great- | just scratching the soil, year after year, until nothing is left for them to scratch but the clay. Last winter I had com- menced ploughing my corn land when my agent came in, and he was decided in his opinion that | was turning up too much of the dead soil—he believed it would alti- mately improve the Jand, and that it would wash away less; but he was firmly per- suaded it would lessen the first crops. 1 desired him to have the whole field bro- ken as deep as it could be done by good two-horse ploughs, and he complied faith- fully. It was the best ploughed field I ever saw—broken, generally, from seven to nine inches. It was a very old field, and all my neighbors, but one, said } would regret the deep ploughing. It made the best crop of corn 1 ever saw on the field. We tried an experiment on a smaller scale, to test the benefit of deep plough- ing. We laid off a piece of thin high land into four beds—four rows to each bed. One bed was trench ploughed, about filteen inches deep. The next was plough- ed like the field, say about eight inches deep. The third was trenched, and so on. By mistake one of the trenched beds was laid off with five, instead of four, corn rows—all the beds being of equal width —and the corn on this bed was the best. All had the same treatment in every re- spect, and | believe, trom previous expe- riments, that if the summer had been a dry one, the difference in favor of the deepest ploughing would have been much greater. My agent is now an advocate of deep ploughing. Yours, respectfully, January, 1848. Tr. MANURE. In opening the manure heaps when you commence their transportation to the field, it is an excellent plan to sprinkle a bush- el or so of gypsum or plaster over them. One of the most powerful ingredients in all manures is a substance known to che- mists as ammonia. This substance is ex- ceedingly volatile, and when separated from organized bodies by tbeir decay, it quickly flies off. 1t is retained in the ma- nure while in the heap because it is not exposed to the air. But when you at- tempt to cart it away and spread it out on your field, a great deal of it will es- cape, unless you resort to some means for retaining it. Now it has been found that this stuff has a great affinity. for lime in all its forms, particulatly for gypsam.— Therefore, by sprinkling, powdered gyp- sum on the manure, the ammonia which would otherwise be lost in the air, forms chemical union with it, and is thercby ree down his | tained, much to the advantage of the poor { | ) | the mere array of ecireum- | IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO. : oe Ratification of an Armistice—- Another last to be particularly insisted upon.

Twiggs expresses great anxiety to visit the United States he having been five years absent from his family. The Free American of the 17th inst., announces the death of Lieut. Col. Allen, of the 2d Infantry. He had but recent- ly arrived in Vera Cruz, on his way to join his regiment in the interior. He was attacked by billious fever, and died at 8 o’clock, P. M., on the 16th. Santa Anna has applied toGen. Twiggs, through Col. Huges, for permission to pass through Vera Cruz and out of the country. A special express from Jalapa reached Vera Cruz the evening of the 16th inst. with the application, and as the General at once granted the permission asked, it peace may not defeat his object ohiie oy non-attendance at Queretaro, or, if there, withdrawing from Congress when the question is put and break the quorum, has had the good fortune to command Col. | This last is a common trick in Mexicag Hay’s Texan Rangers and Major Polk’s Congresses, and among the members who cavalry battallion in several expeditions, | avow their willingness to go to Qaereta. and he cannot suffer himself to be thought | ro, and who are there, some ten or twelve unmindful at his departure of their emi- | are reported to be either opposed to peace nent services under him. | or inimical to the administration.

The steamer Caledonia arrived at Bos- ton at half-past 9 o’clock last night, and the following summary of the important news received by her has just reached this city : Riots in London, Glasgow, and Edin- burg, have taken place. It is said that the revolution has spread throughout France. Allthe Departments have joined the Republic. Lou's Phillippe and the Royal family, with Guizot, have arrived in England. The European Times, dated Liverpool, | Sunday, March 12, says: The revolution in France is now au fuit Capt. 4th O. V., Aid-de-Camp. Mexico, March 11, 1848. Several days since a Mexican colonel named Duran, who was taken a prisoner at Chapultepec, fighting after his “ fellow soldiers” had deserted their posts, was bu- ried in this city under circumstances that must be galling to every Mexican of true pride and honor, but which afforded our troops an opportunity of displaying a mag- nanimity that has few parallels in history. Co]. Duran, after the entrance of his ar- my into the city was released on parole ; in a short time, being attacked witha fe- ver, and having neither friends nor money he was taken tothe poor house. There he died. During his sickness neither friend or relative visited him, and when dead no one came to dress his remains for burial. The Governor hearing of his being thus uncared for, ordered the Third Regiment of Infantry out to bury him. The order was cheerfully obeyed. The case of Col. Duran is one instance of the advancement of those who have fought for their country by their govern- ment and people. Let me relate to you another, in which the party had not han- dled sword or"musket but was equally en- titled to assistance as if she had. A few struction of railways. of which but little has been heard of late, is still talked of as a thing of life. We see a meeting was appointed to be held in Wilmington on Tuesday evening last, the object of which appears to be to pro- mote harmony upon some one plan, there having been some diversity of views to hinder the progress of the enterprise so ardently desired by all. the 17th to the 18th, to receive Santa An- na on board, and that he isin truth a pas- senger on her. We mention the rumor, but without putting confidence in it. At all events, it was not known to the pas- sengers with whom we have conversed. A large train was on its way down from the city of Mexico when the Great Western left. Jt was at Jalapa the even- ing of the 16th inst., but a Private express was sent through the same night to Vera Cruz, by which we received owr corres- pondence given below. A list of the of. ficers accompanying the train will be found in the first letter. It will be seen that there have been many resignations in the army since the promulgation of the armistice. It will also appear from one of our cor- respondent’s letters that the officers detail- ed upon the great court of inquiry have arrived in the city of Mexico, and that ; ; of trade and the existing uncertainty naturally | Our latest advices from Paris, are to March incident to the affairs of the continent might, we | 9, and represent the city as tranquil, but the | fear, produce a state of disquietude and suffer. | financial crisis still continues unabated, and ing amongst numerous classes for some time to | some eminent houses are spoken of as being in come.

They were nearly exhausted by fatigue ; and, on his arrival, the King stated that, a night or two back, he had thought of giving himself up. Deliberate Murder.— We \earn that 8 most malicious and deliberate murder was committed in Cabarrus county on Tues- day of last week, on the body of a man named Linker. The person who it is be- lieved committed the murder, a fellow by the name of Dove, has been committed to jail to await his trial. Linker was way- laid and shot, the ball entering one tem- ple and coming out of the other. He was killed instantly. When found he was lye. ing across a log, on his back. A serious difficulty was known to exist between Linker and Dove, and we understand that Dove had on one or two former occasions shot at the decease, but without effect.— |The evidence, as we hear it, is strong | against the accused, but it is not proper We have just received a telegraphic despatch from Folkstone stating that the French Govern. ment had stopped the payment of the ‘Treasury li. ‘The abdicati . eet es Bonds, which they have hitherto been in tHe | decomptt. e abdication of Louis Phil- | habit of discounting.

John isa very bright colored mulatto, is about five feet 10 inches in height, straight and well | built—has long dark hair and wears it combed over in front and straight down over his ears and the back part | of his head—and when excited or heated by exercise his face assumes a flush and ruddy complection. He has | a scar on his left hand and one upon his right wrist.— | He has an axe scar on his left fot, as well as recollect- | ed, extending from the end of his big toe near to the | middle of the foot. He took with hin when he left me a good pair of cassinette pantaloons, and a good brown overcoat and a pair of boots. He may have procured free papers and attempted to make his way to a free State, as a free man of color, or he may have attempt- ed to pass for a white man, which his color would well justify. But I am rather inclined to believe he is lurk- ing about Charlotte, as he was raised in that town and | has numerous relations and acquaintances in and around | that place—or he may be about Asheville, N.

Why don’t you take a paper, Brown ? tm sore it is a shame, ‘That we can’t get tbe news from town Before it’s old and tame ! There's deacon Jones across the way, Who gets one every week, And he can beat you all they say, When called upon to speak. The feason, sir, is plain, you know, For when he reads it through, His words like milk and honey flow, And all he tells is new, Bo he is taken by the hand, For what te can impaft ; While young and old aroc Ml hina stand, And say the deacon’s sinart! Ob ! is it not a shame, I say, To hug your purse so tight, When a mere bit of yellow clay Would set this matter right?

For curselves we do not cor? how ultra we may be called. Let it be cast up asa re- | proach, or by way of parrying the force of facts that are given upon the subject. It is our desire to be so ultra as to endeavor to keep our * garments even from being spotted” by the accursed thing, and to endeavor as in us hies, to exert our influence “to pull men out of this fire” of rum which is burning up so many, soul and body. Lise any man that thinks, we entertain our opinion of | what is the best means, and what the moss prudent. If a child of ours or a friend were in a house on fire, we | would rejoice in seeing it pulled out, whether by the hand or the foot, or even by the }air of the head, and while we might say it was not very tender in a man to | pull it by the hair when it might have been done, with a jitale delay, by the hand, we should nevertheless far pre- | fer the attention of the man who would even pull them» out by the hair of the head, to the men who would sit by or stand and look on when the fire was raging, and let the child burn to death without making any exertion to save it, These are our ideas in regard to those de little (we will not say do-nothing) friends of ‘Teimperance who are so wonderfully cireful to speak of ultra Temperance eflurts. | For our own part, we hail a man as a co-worker in this cause who wil! use his influence to keep men from ma- We do | if he but uses king, selling, or drinking intoxicating drinks. not find fault with his prudence his influence in its place. or caut!> We must cou: ss that we feel | much more warmly for the man who in tic time of bat- | tle springs forward and wields all his power to overcome the foe.

So jn attacking this demon spirit—whether in the hor- rible and immoral traffic, or in the victim: brutalized and demoralized by its influence. He that would do anght, must bestir himnse!f; he must take stron ground, and | make vigorous attacks; he must be ultra, if he would do anything. Give us those nen who will work ; let them be ultra.

We shall be happy to see a little more u'traism in doing to stop this awful work. From the Sunday Mercury. SHORT PATENT SERMON, BY DOW, JR.

All that con-tisutes greatness, and nothingelse—otherwise a rhinoceros, or a bug, is greater than a man. My friends—I wonder if I couldu’t by gentle persuasion—and not by such impulses as are administered to contrary cattle —cause you more generally to proclaim the truth, and bring a blush upon the check of the arch enemy of mankind, it it is possible that a glow of shame can make itself visible upon the countenance : ofa black rascal like bi. ‘The devil and I, my brethren, are sworn enemics.

It is superior to Sarsaparilla, whether as a so- dorific or alternative. It stands infinitely before all the preparations orcombinations of Mercury. Its purgative properties are alone of incalculable value—for these pills may be taken daily for any period, and instead of a weak- ening by the cathartic eflect, they add strength by taking away the cause of weakness.

About a hun- dred weil dressed persons were assembled round the first carriage, eager to catch a glimpse of the King and Queen as they stepped into the carriage. ‘The King made his appearance first and all present instantly uncovered. There was nocheering. The reception was cordial, but impressive, and was highly credita- ble to the persons assembled, and might be ta- ken as expressing the feelings of the nation to- wards the exiled monarch ; it was an assurance of hospitality, mingled with sympathy for his misfortunes. The King was dressed in black trousers, and the rough fearnought great coat, or sea- man’s jacket, which was given to him by the captain of the vessel which brought him over. He no sooner stepped from the door than he turned round to the persons who lined the pass- age to the carriage, and shook bands with all who were near him, repeatedly bowing and saying—* Thank you—thank you, sir ;’ * Much obliged to you, sir,’ ‘ Much obliged to you ;’ to which several responded, by exclaiming— long live King Louis Phillippe.’ Upon entering the carriage, the crowd assembled round the win- dow, and almost every person had the honor of shaking hands with him. His majesty looked dejected, and appeared deeply impressed with the reception which he met with. The King was followed into the carriage by the Queen, who wore a black and white tartan shawl, a black figured silk gown, and a black bonnet. ‘The other members of the royal fami- ly having taken their seats in the other carri- ages, (he royal party drove off to Claremunt.

We are indebted tothe New York Morn- ing Star for an Extra, containing Euro- pean intelligence extracted from a Lon- don paper of Sundaysthe 12th inst., which was brought to Liverpool. by express, be- fore the sailing of the Caledania on that day. The substance of the advices is ag follows : Changes in the English Cabinet. Lord John Russel’s resignation was pos- itively decided upon on Saturday evening. Dispatches announcing his contempla- ted resignation were forwarded to Dub- lea, the intelligence appearing in the Dub- lin papers of Saturday March the 12th. Cabinet Councils were held in Down- ing street, on Saturday evening, and. du- ring the day Lord Palmerston held 4 ¢on- ference with Mr. Bancroft, the U. SMin- ister. The Cabinet, it was understood, had un- der consideration important concessions to Ireland, and a considerable extension of the elective franchise in the United Kingdoms was talked of. Douglas Jerrold, immediately after his arrival at Paris, had an interview with Lamartine, who received him in the most cordial manner. It was reported that he had been commissioned to repair to Paris by a committee of Liberals of London. Triumph of Liberal Opinions.—Lancaster Election.

The Moniteur Algeria of the 20th Feb- raary, had an announcement from the. Governor General, the Duke d’Aumale, of the news received from Paris. There were indeed two notices, the first being of a dispatch from Paris, dated‘on the af- ternoon of the 24th, informing him of the abdication of the King in favor of the| Count of Paris, and the Dutchess d’Or- leans proposed as Rejent, to which the Governor General adds the following note: | “The Governor-General knowing the patriotism of all, adds nothing to this | news. Nothing can change our duties or affect our duties to France. “ Algiers, Feb. 27. H. D’Orveans.

The truth is the volunteers cannot be depended upon, it quite probable that in case of attack they would go to the enemy. They sub- mit to no discipline and are disorderly and refractory.

High above the din rose the voice of Ledru Rolin, protest. ing vehemently against the regency, as an usurpation of the rights and liberties of the peo- ple, and demanding the immediate establish. ment of a Provisional Gorernment. Silence being somewhat restored, Lamartine mounted the tribune. He began by alluding, in terms of the most touching pathos, to the spectacle of an unhappy princess fleeing from a deserted try.

THE TREATY OF 1815. It will be seen that the French Repub- lic, as far as it was concerned, has by a mere stroke of the pen put an end to the famous treaty of 1815, the great object of _which was to curb the power of France and prevent the dissemination of free principles. There never was, perhaps, in the history of the world. any transaction that more fully developed the vanity of all earthly power, and the instability of To effect the objects of this treaty, oceans of blood were shed; the whole world was agitated to the very extremity of convul- tions, became words. which those who used them to derision; and brute force resigned Lord Paramount over all the nations of Europe. And yet, the work which shook the whole world in its accomplishment, is at this moment as though it had never been done. which its enemies vainly imagined had words of true eloquence demanded that the pub. was answered with applause. Amidst a per- fect Babel of cries and shouts the names of the | new government were read a second time ; Du- pont left the chair, and the French Chamber of | Deputies was no more !” We find the following instance of heroism in the Paris correspondence of the New York Tribune. It gccurred during the last session of the Chamber of Deputies : “Tt was at the close of the speech of M. La. martine that the Duchess d’Orleans, seeing that there was no hope for her, turned to withdraw, but this was no longer facile. ‘The Duchess was separated from her children, and the chil- dren from each other. A workman broke the sword of the Due de Nemours in his face ; and a man ina blouse seized the Comte de Paris by the throat as if to strangle him, but was thrown off by a young National Guardsman, Alfred Mary, who, placing himself between the | child and the mob—whose guns were levelled at him—told them to fire if they would, but they “must take his life first. ‘Then, hurrying the Comte through a side door, he leaped from the window to the pavement beneath. A friend handed down the child, and Mary ran with him in his arms to the Hotel des Invalides, outstripp- ing the carriage which brought the Duchess and her other child to the same place. The heroic conduct of Mary touched the heart of the royal unfortunates, and the Duc de Nemours, taking off one of his epaulettes, gave it to himas a souvenir of the day, and as a token between them.” Death of the Hon.

For what has Louis Phillipe been driven from his Throne? It was for trying to abridge the liberty of speech—for denying that ‘the people had a right to assemble toge- ther and discuss and speak freely upon the conduct of the Government. This is what drove him from power. Has not Mr. Pox done the same thing? Has he not so far as he is concerned, dis- franchised a large portion of the people of the United States of this privilege by denouncing them as traitors, for presum- ing to question Ais right to make war with- out the consent of Congress?

Dr. Le Roy’s Pills, in fact unite those heretofore irreconcila- ble, but most desirable qualities, evacuation and invigor- ation for they are at the same time a strengthening pur- gative, and a purifying tonic. The two principal ingredients in Dr. Le Roy’s Pills are Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla. So prepared that each promotes the beneficial effect of the other, the for- mer strengthening, while the latter, through its union with various vegetable ingredients, evacuates and puri- | fies; thusthey superinduce no torpidity of lassitude of the | — digestive functions, and hence their operations are atten- ded by no reaction or subsequent costiveness.

There is no good Mercu- ry does, which these pills do not likewise. But they alyzed—no—but in the stead of these distressing symp- toms, new life and consequent animation is evident in ev- ery movement of the body. Brandreth’s pills are indeed a Universal Remedy, for they cure opposite diseases :— they cure Inflamation and Chronic Rheumatism! They | cure Diabetts of Urine. They cure Dysentery and Con- stitutional Costiveness. They willcure these apparently | opposite diseases, because they cleanse and purify the blood, provided, however, nature is not beyond all human | assistance. In all cases they will be found a safe and simple reme- dy, yet all powerful for the removal of diseases, whether chronic or recent, infections or otherwise. ‘They do not render the system liable to be affected by any changes of temperature. The very cause, or occasion of the hu- man frame being affected by colds and coughs is remov- ed by their use. Therefore, they may be used at al] times and seasons without damage, and change of diet, and any | extra care is unnecessary. These Pills are for sale at 25 cents per box, by our a- gents in every town in the State,and by the following | highly respectable gentlemen in this vicinity, viz: Brown | & James, Salisbury ; David Fraley, Rockville ; A. & D.

THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. It is with the greatest pleasure that we announce the safe arrival of the last and most illustrious instalment of the * royal fugitives” on these shores. For a whole week the ex-King of the French, after playing for eighteen years the most con- spicuous part on the most conspicuous stage of European affairs, had totally dis- appeared from the scene. His place could nowhere be found ; and, shocking as all would have felt it, it was at least as pro- bable a conjecture as any other, that his Majesty had perished in the Channel.— The Express steamer brought them yes- terday morning to Newhaven, where they had to wait for some hours till the state of the tide should enable them to enter the harbor. At last they landed, and were glad to receive a very hearty welcome to the well-known shore. For the rest, we must refer to the particulars which we have been enabled to supply, and to which the rank, the misfortunes, and it must be added, the errors of the distinguished suf- ferer will impart so peculiar an interest. It may be safely said, there is nothing 9 this woman to the commission of this mur- | in history—nothing, at least, in the exam- et, wasthe work of one of those pretending ples which most readily occur to the mind ropheis known by the name of * fortune tell. | —that at all comes near the tremendous Fidcemmatneoyiycare neesanaoh tose | suddenness of the present royal reverse. -— ne Phis day fortnight, Louis Phillippe was enseless, yet dangerous “ Jabhers’” got hold ‘ . _the most prosperous, the most powerful, Wher hand, and from sundry crosses and fis- and accounted the ablest sovereign inthe world.

But let us follow the princes. We say it with- out intending any disrespect, and only as relating the simple truth of the affair. No family of Irish trampers was ever so summarily bundled out of the way as was this illustrious group. The Queen, we are told. had run back to a bureau for some silver; but it seems it was not e- nough, as the hat was sent round for the royal couple at St. Cloud, and a small sum clubbed by the national guard. At Dreux, they were left with a five franc piece between them. Flying “ when none pursueth,” they get to Louis Pkillippe’s once celebrated chateau at Eu, which they are afraid to enter. So there they disappear into space. They were to be at Eu. and for a week—that is all that we knew of them. Meanwhile the rest had dropped in, one by one. They come lke foreign birds dashed by a storm againsta light house. The Duke de Nemours and certain Saxe Coburgs come one day, knowing nothing of the rest. They part- ed in the crowd. A Spanish Infanta, for whose hand all the world was competing only the year before last, scrambled out another way, through bye roads and back doors ; and—strange event—is likely give Spain an English-born sovereign, under Victoria’s kindly auspices. No sooner, however, had the fugitives found a friend- ly asylum than they are obliged to seek another roof. Other princes and princes- ses turned up here and there. A lady-in- waiting rejoins her mistress. A cabinet minister is fuund. The children and gov- erness of another arrive. The rencontres and reunions are strange enough. A prince of the blood and an ex-prefect meet in disguise, and do not know one another. Very late a youthful heir to the crown of France, and who had been acknowledged as reigning king by the deputies, is dis- covered at a channel island with his mo- ther and brother. The two children had been almost lost in the mob on leaving the chamber, had been got somehow to Eu, with their mother, wearied and bear- ing muddy marks of rough travel. Thence, by heavy bribing, they had procured a | Passage to the first British rock. Thus are they driven and scattered by the be- som of revolution. They arrive penniless, without a change of raiment, dejected and bewildered, telling one another their sto- ries of many strange adventures, having each come a different journey, though starting from one point, and almost at one hour. Alter many days suspense, the King and Quaeen are heard of, on some private information, on the coast of Normandy, where they had been “on the run” from house to house, and content with humble hospitality, the King, we are told, in strange disguises. retinue.

Thursday. Feb. 24, between one and two, P. M., I entered the Chamber of De- paties. Upon reaching the vestibule, find- ing only some 12 or 13 gentlemen there walking op and down, and that the ses- sion had not yet opened, | lounged about there instead of mounting to the diploma- tic tribune. After I had been there a few minutes, one of the ushers entered from without in haste, saying that Madame la Duchesse d‘Orleans, and Mons. le Comte de Paris, were coming to the Chamber ; and that the President must b2 instantly sent for to take his place, and the great doors of the session soon opened. All was then hurry on the part of the ushers, and excitement on the part of the gentlemen in the vestibule. In two or three minutes the Duchess appeared leading the Comte de Paris, and attended by the Duc de Ne- mours and two or three other gentlemen in the uniform of generals, with several members of the National Guard. She was also accompanied by one of her la- dies of honor, whose name | could not learn, and also by her youngest son, the Duc de Chartres, who was carried in the arms of a person whom I took to be his preceptor. It may interest your ladies to know that ca dressed in plain black suits, with round caps of black cloth. The Duchess is near- ly 35 years of age, of medium stature and finely formed. She has dark auburn hair, a full forehead, very regular features, light eyes, but not a very expressive coun- tenance. She had, no color, her cheeks were thin, and she had rather a sickly look. Her manner was dignified and graceful, and she and her children appear- ed perfectly collected. She bowed as she luted ber with the most profound respect. Comte de Paris. The young Prince is nearly ten years old, and is a very hand- some and intelligent looking fellow. He has light auburn hair, cut short, fine clear complexion, broad and expanded forehead, and full and expressive eyes. The young Duc de Chartres is only eight years of nge, and has a delicate appearance. His hair is quite light, he has no color, and his countenance is not near as expressive a& his brother’s. time. For some moments after the party en- tered, there was some little confusion and Duke de Nemours and one or two gentle- men as to what was to be done. At last it was concluded to enter the Chamber by the side entrance on the right of the Pre- sident’s pulpit. The persons in the vesti- party, I with others, advanced to the cen- | bune, and the Duchess with her children took seats upon it, while the Duke of Nemours and other officers, and the lady ‘of honor, stood behind it. The few mem- | bers of the National Guard who had fol- | lowed the Duchess in, pressed back the ' gentlemen who had entered at the same /time from the area before the tribune, and ] retreated to the first step of one of the | aisles between the central benches. There were, at first, not more than about 150 | ‘ing and uncoveréd for some time.

The orator went on to say that these ac- clamations were not the first that had | been evinced on this occasion :—that the Duchess had crossed the Touilleries, the Place de la Concorde, and the Bridge, on foot, with her children, with no other es- cort than a few members of the National Guard; and that every where on her pas- sage the people had greeted her with live- ‘ly acclamations. This announcement was { plause. But when the noise had ceased, an ominous voice sounded from one of the | public tribunes, solemnly and distinctly, ,—“ Il est trop tard”—It is too late. ) | bershould confirm the acclamations which had just been made, and order the inser- ition in the proceedings, of the procloma- tion of the Comte de Parisas King of the 'French, with the regency of the Duchess ‘of Orleans. This was received with some applause from the centre, but several immediately, and, with members of the | National Guard and other persons, nearly, ‘filled the space in front of where the’ | Duchess was seated, and all was tumult and disorder for some minutes.

During which M. de Lamartine as- cended the tribune and stood by the side of M. Marie.

He is a tall, powerful and handsome man of 45 or 50 years, florid complexion, large head covered eyes. He spoke like one who felt he was om the strong side, declaiming in the most ener- getic manner against a regency, and insisting upon the institution of a Provisional Govera- ment, and a convention being called. The manner of this orator was exceedingly vehee ment, and he was tumultuously applauded from the public galleries and by the people arougd him.

He then alluded to the glarious struggle and victory of the people over | a perjured government, and said that it behov- ed all now to appeal to the sentiment of the na- ‘tion for a definitive form of government, and that in the meanwhile a Provisional Govern. ment must be chosen. He then went on to | speak of the necessity of establishing order and peace among the citizens, but here the door of one of the upper tribune was suddenly burst open and the benches instantly filled with an -armed tumultuous rabble. One of the mot put one of his legs over the rail of the gallery, drew ‘up his gun and aimed at the President. I had previously had my attention directed ,to a small side door about 20 or 30 steps on my right, opening out from the narrow passage be- hind the last row of benches, and I made up my mind that that was the onty door which af- furded any chance to the Princes to escape from the Chamber. Several times, during the speech- es of Ledru Rollin and Lamartine, I proposéd to the National Guard in front of me to endeav. or to remove the Duchess by that-route, but be said “there was no danger!” I was getting every moment more and more anxious on her | account, and when at Jast the mob broke into the upper gallery, I saw no time was to be lost, and seizing her by the wrist with one hand, and pointing to the little door with the other, I cried out “par ici, madame, par ici!’ —“ this way, madame, this way !” The National Guard next to me, or some ‘other person, took up the Comte de Paris in bis arma, and another the Duc de Chartres, and we all advanced towards the litle door. What be- came of the Duc de Nemours [ know nothing but what I have read in the journals, as [ lost sight of him from that moment. The little semi-circular passage soon became obstructed, as persons rushed up the other side-passages for the same door, su that when we reached it, it was with much difficulty we got through. I kept only one step in advance of the Duchess all the time, determined to adhere to her to the last. This door proved to be at the top of a harrow stair case, down which we descended very rapidly, and when we reached the bottom, _where there was a small lobby, the doors of which were shut, the crowd and press was so great that, at one time I feared we should be suffecated or crushed to death. At last, how. ever, we got a door open and pressed through into a narrow corridor, along which we hurried the Duchess, and thence through several small rooms and passages, until finally we arrived at 'a small library, where we placed her quite exe ‘hausted in a chair. Afier getting out of the lobby at the foot of the little stair-case, it seems the party took different directions, and the chil- dren were separated from the mother. The | first words of the Duchees afier being placed in a chair were, “ My children! my childreal where are they 7” A gentleman brought beg a glass of water, but she said, “TI don’t any water, | only want my children!” All si person around her (our own party consisting of 6 or 8, the rest having taken different directions) assured her that they must be safe, but she eon. tinued to clasp her hands and call for her ebil- dren.

Several ships which have arrived here have, without enter- ing, been ordered to proceed to Liverpool. We have further advices from our Havre cor- respondent to the 23d inst., by which we learn that there is nothing doing in cotton or other articles of import. Indeed there is a total ces- sation of business, owing to the want of mo- ney and confidence which has led to the sus- pension of almost every house in that place.— Our correspondent adds, that the entire city presents the most gloomy and distressing ap- pearance, LOMBARDY.

A supplement to the “ Resorgamento,’’ of the 18th, states that the people, not satisfied with the promises of the Emperor to grant a constitution, have broken out into insurrection and open resistance to the government.

All payments, it is said, are made most punctually, and the privilege todeferthem for fourteen days, which had been granted, has not in any way been resorted to. All was quiet, at Berlin on the 22d; the concessions granted by the King had been received with universal enthusiasm.

OF WAKE COUNTY. > We are authorized to announce the name of Col. J. M. Leaca, of Davidson, as a candidate for the office of Brigadier General, of this Brigade—embracing the Counties of Rowan, Davie and Davidson. i> We are requested tostate that the Whig Con- vention, for Davie County, to nominate a Candidate for the House of Commons, will meet in Mocksville, on the second Saturday in June, (it being the 10th day,) and that the Whigs of each Captain’s Company are request- ed to send three of their number to said Convention, to represent them as delegates therein ; and that the Whigs be requested to select their delegates on the days of their respective musters. DAVIE WHIG CONVENTION. The attention of the Whigs of Davie County, is respectfully directed to the above call for the appointment of Delegates to meet in Mocks. ville, to select a Candidate to represent them in the House of Commons of the next General Assembly. We are rejoiced to see that the split, which appeared to us at one time, inevi- table, will be, by this step, prevented; and harmony restored among our friends in that staunch Whig County. The only hope the Lo. cos have there, is from division among the Whigs. This is the way to ensure success— let this example be followed wherever there is the least danger. THE LOCOFOCO NOMINEE. The Convention which assembled in Raleigh on the 12th instant, for the pur- pose of nominating a Locofoco Candidate for Governor, performed the duty assign- ed them, by bringing Davin Rew, of Rockingham, forward as their man. Mr. Reid has been once or twice elected to Congress, we believe, but so far as we have seen, never done any thing of very great importance, to recommend him to the People of North Carolina as a very proper person to fill the Office of Gover- nor. He is said to be a person of ordina- ry talents only—with no great speaking ability. Why it is that a more talented man of the party was not put forward as the standard-bearer of their principles, we are unable to say, unless it be that none of them felt willing to be most aw- fully defeated. This may be the reason and it may not; it is only a surmise of our own, but we confess, that when we think over every thing connected with the nomination, there appears more truth than fiction in it. Let it be whatever it may, Mr. Reid is destined to be defeated by a large majority. North Carolina is too thoreughly attached to the principles of the Whigs to be drawn off by a man of the first order of talents, much less one of the ordinary kind. We would say to the Whigs of the State, be firm#-stand by your country in this contest as you have done on former occasions.

The Boston Atlas, the most exten-| grely circulated and influential Whig | malin New England, after speaking of Mr. Clay in terms of the highest admi- | sation, expresses the opinion that he ought yot to be the Whig candidate for the next | Presidency. It says: « We believe that he has had hischance. | The tide in the affairs of Mr. Clay was in 1844, but it did not flow on to victory, bat to disastrous and overwhelming de- feat.—Then every thing looked like tri- wmpb ; all the streams of Whig sentiment were blended into one ; nowhere did it di- | verge from the general channel. bat we | were beaten.—Are the signs of the times | gsfavorable now for Mr. Clay as they were then? have the rains swollen the | treams, or blended their waters into a| broader or a deeper bed? Are they not, rather, more divergent? If they not ut- wrly refuse to blend and unite upon Mr. | Clay, do they not at least show a strong— reluctance to be thus gathered together 2?” | The Atlas proceeds to say that the next | President ought to be a Northern man. | and to express its own preference for Mr. | Webster as the Whig candidate. But it; believes that the course of the Whigs of | the North has been calculated to destroy | allhope of the nomination of a Northern | man; and it caneludes with these remarks; “We shall abide in the most explicit | good faith the result of the National Cone | vention. We shall give to the nominee | @rhearty support. We are free to say. that we are for Mr. Webster, against the | world. He is the most justly entitled to | it We hope he will getit. If, however, he should not be the successful one, and the Convention go South for a candidate, we zo for one who will give assurance of a | utory, in preference to one who, howev- | ttmuch we love and respect him, will, in orhumble judgment, judging from the | Present aspect of affairs, fail of an elec-| tion us signally as he failed in 1844.’ | We regard this as an indication of a declaration of the preference of the lead- ing organ of the new England Whigs in favor of Gen. Taylor. in preference to Mr. Clay, on the score of superior availability. The sign is more important, because it has been confidently said and generally. M@pposed that Mr. Clay was nearly the ™Manimous choice of the New England Whigs. From the Petersburg Intelligencer. SEN. SCOTT AND THE ADMINIS. TRATION. One would have supposed that the st of indignation which greeted the con- of the Administration towards Gen. Mylor, would have made them cautious their treatment of other brave men in the service of the country. But it seems that the lesson then received fail- ed to make its properimpression. Little- Bratify their manevolent feelings no mat- ler what the cost may be. The spectacle presented by Gen. Sco‘t's M8ition at this moment, will hardly find ® parallel in history.

Can any one doubt that this is persecu- tion and malice? But let it not be said that this proves that “Republics are un- grateful.” The people of this Republic hold this act of the Administration in in- expressible scorn and will make them pay dearly for it. General Scott, so far trom being injured, will be greatly benefited by the abortive attempt to destroy him, as is well remarked by the Picayune : “In seanning the report of the procee- dings of the Court of Inquiry, as far as they have gone, they confirm the opinion long entertained, that Gen. Scott will come out of these difficulties with a fame brightened by the ordeal it has been sub- We doubt not that his renown as a great captain will be enhanced by a security of the unwritten history of the war. Jt would seem that already evi- dence of his having originated strategetic measures, in which he was not supposed to have participated in the first instance, has been brought to light, and the further the developments go it is probable the bet- ter his genius and military knowledge will A contention like that which he is now engaged in will bring him out in bolder and better relief; for it must be admitted that the General has contracted an outer crust which in some sort prevents his inner merits from being seen of men. The issue of this inquiry may be awaited by his friends in confi- dence that he will not only come out of it scathless, but with his character better understood, and as a consequence more valued by his country.” “STANDARD” CONSISTENCY.

DIED—In this County, on the [1th instant, Mrs. ELIZABETH L. GRAHAM, consort of Thomas C. Graham, aged about 27 years. It is thought that the large circle of relatives and friends, who have been bereaved by the death of Mrs. Graham, would be gratified by some more extended no- tice of her than was given last week. Her disease was pulmonary consumption, which has progressed with unusual rapidity for the last few months. And, notwithstanding this delusive destroyer was per- mitting her to flatter herself with vain hopes of recove- came. Having professed faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and united with his people in the Church of Third Creek several years since, she seeried to have committed her case to the Almighty Redeemer, and to be patiently waiting his pleasure. Her confidence in Him continu- ed unshaken to the last; her reason not being in the least impaired until a very short time before death. The pathway of Mrs. G. forthe last few years of her life has been truly a thorny one. God in his mysterious providence has not only visited her with severe person- | al afflictions, but her children one after another have been called to the Saviour’s arms. ‘Thus have her richest , earthly gems been taken away,at once, to deck Iinman- uel’s crown, and to make her heavenly home more de- sirable. By this continued process which seemed to the | eye of sense hard to be borne, her Sovereign was only | intending “ Her dross to consume and her gold to refine.” And with the light of eternity beaming on the past, she probably has ere this realized, that wisdom and love guided the hands that inflicted these strokes. Her be- reaved partner alone remains of her immediate family to ament their early separation. May it be the case, in | the rich mercy of God, that this family may be re-uni- ted in the Canaan above, not one link of the sacred chain being lost, where separation will never be known and joy and peace eternally reign. Tn Cabarrus county, on the 18h ultimo, Mrs. RA- CHAEL KISER, aged 93 years and 114 months. She was a member of the Baptist Church, and has left a numerous family. THE MARKETS.

NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE, MAKING and VENDING SPIRITU- OUS LIQUORS. The following Preamble and Resolutions were passed at the last Session of this body, in regard to members of the Church engaging in this detestable traffic : . A Memorial from Stokes and Iredell Circuits having been presented hy the Presiding Elder | of the Salisbury District, requesting the opinion of the Conference in regard to the business of making and vending ardent spirits by the mem- bers of our Church, after due deliberation the following Preamble and Resolutions were unan. imously adopted and ordered to be printed in the Richmond Christian Advocate. Whereas, we have received Memorials from the Qaur- terly Meeting Conferences of the Stokes and Iredell Cir- cuits, praying an expression of our views in reference to | the making and selling of spirituous liquors by inembers of our Church, from which, as also from other authori- ties, we are pained to learn, that some of our people be- heve us divided among ourselves, and even from our be- loved Bishops as to the morality of the above mentioned practices; and as these mistaken impressions of our people have subsected those of us whose painful duty it has been to uppose these evils to extra persecutions, and thrown great difficulty in the way of success; and es pecially as we are unwilling that any of the sins grow- mut of this traffic should adhere to our skirts, we do hereby inform the brethren of the Stokes and Iredell Circuits, and vur people generally, that we regard the making and trafhe of ardent spirits, as well as their use, except in cases of necessity, viz. medicinal and mechan- ical purposes, a vreat moral evil, and are truly sorry that any of our brethren are eugaged in these things. ‘The thought that such an evil should have continued under our ministry 1s truly hamiliating. We are convinced that the maker and vender ot ardent spirits, except for purposes above specitied, is accessory (ignorantly it may be) to all the sins growing out of the use and abuse of this article of his trade, sins against family, society, self, and God. With these views, in the fear of God and in love to the sou's of men, we are determined to use all prudent and lawful efforts to put the evil away from the Church. ‘Thereture, Resolved, That we most strong!y disapprove our mem- bers engaging in a traffic so desrructive in its effects to the bodies and the sou's of inen. and most affectionately exhort them to put the evil away trom them. Resolved, That as a Conference we can have no sym- pathies with the business of distiiling spirituaus liquors, and will use our influence to put down the practice. The memnorialists having desired an expression of opinion as to the night of bringing members to trial for making and dealing in ardent spirits, and in substance asking if the Conference agreed with the administr.tion of Bishop Capers in Georgia, on motion of the Rev. W. Closs, the following Resolutions were adopted, viz: Whereas, the Quarterly Meeting Conference of Stokes and Iredell request to be informed whether we agsee with Bishop Capers in the decision made by him | in the last Georgia Conference on the question of Church members distilling and vending spirituous liquors :— Therefore, - Reeolved, That this Conference acknowledge the Bishops of the Methodist E. Church, South, to be con- Situtional expourders of the Discipline of said Church. Resolved, That this Conference claims no right eith- er te annul or confirin any decision they may make.

Mr. William Blake, of Akron, Ohio, called onus two or three days ago and exhibited an article that must, we think, become of great value. It was discovered some time since in the township of Sharon, Ohio, and is taken from an excavation in a rock about twenty feet deep, and spreading over some six or eight acres. The substance is black, resembling in- digo, and about the consistency of cold tallow when taken from the mine, but an exposure for a few days to the atmosphere turns it to hard slate or stone. It has been tound upon analyza- tion to contain about one-half silica, one-fourth alumina, and one-eighth pyrites of iron, with lesser proportions of magnesia, lime, and car- From the extraordinary character of the bon. | article, it is supposed by geologists who have | visited the mine that there must be some fissure or crevice in the bottom of the ditch, through | | which the urticle, in a liquid state, was ejected | from below. | When the substance is taken out, dried, | ground to a fine powder, mixed with linseed oil, and applied with a brush to either wood, tin, iron, cloth, paper, or bricks, and then ex. | posed a few months to the atmosphere, it be- comes a perfect slate, impervious to the action | and warranted to work well, for fifty or | of the weather or to fire; the weather serving | only to turn it to stone, and rendering it harder | the longer itzis exposed, while fire will char the substance to which it is applied before the | slate will give way. | We were shown specimens upon cloth and | wood that were as fine specimens of school slate as we have ever seen, and would show It is also suscep. tible of the highest polish, as we sawa piece | upon wood that was polished, and had the ap- pearance of the finest Egyptian black marble. | The article is of much value, we should sup- | pose, for covering roofs, steamboats, dain, fen- | ces, buildings, and every thing else requiring | protection from fire or the weather, or for fire | pencil marks equally plain. is in fact slate ina liquid state when applied, and in a few months acquires the solidity of the finest slate. We learn from Mr. Blake, who has secured | a patent for his discovery, that it if sold at his | place at $3 per 100 Ibs. which will cover the roof of a building thirty feet square, or nine hundred superficial feet. “SEEING THE ELEPHANT.” The origin of this now common and expres- _sive phrase is thus described : Some years since, at one of the Philadelphia theatres, a pageant was in rehearsal in which Noele- The “wild beasts” | . | were all travelling, and the property-man, stage it was necessary to have an elephant. | phant was to be had. | director, and manager almost had fits when they thought of it.

Y. has invented a new and sim- ple appratus for measuring and rolling narrow cloth at one operation. The cloth is taken from the press and placed upon a cusbion in the machine, from which it passes to a drum one- yard in circamfer- ence where it is measured, and passes thence among friction bars to a shapt where it is rolled up in a nice square roll ready for the market. While it is being measured and rolled up the papers are deposited upon a shelf in a nice compact pile-—This machine saves all the time generally bestowed upon cloth after press- ing, except starting the machine and reg- istering the number of the piece and num- | air through holes bored jn the sides. | fronts, carriages, or centre or pier tables, as it | through a hole in the bottom of the burn- ing barrel and the flames were instantly extinguished.

The startling draw back on gearly all Medicinal Afi- ents has ever been that in their process of purgation and purification, they have also debilitated the system.— Hence purgative medicines have always been regarded | as at best but a necessary evil, patients resorting to thein | for the relief of one disease at the expense of another.— To obviate this, physicians have long sought for an a- gent that would at the same time purge, purify and strengthen, but their efforts were nearly fruitless, and they had almost despaired of success when the labors of science and research were rewarded by a discovery which fully realized the fondest desires of the Medical Faculty, and which is justly regarded as one of the most important tri- umphs that Pharmacy has ever achieved. ‘This impor- tant dé&Bideratum is named Dr. Le Roy’s Vegetable Uni- | versal Pills, which putify the blood, and remove all cor- ruptand vitiated humours, and unhealthy accumulations | from the body in a manner never before rivalled, and | which yet produce no weaknes3 or lassitude whatever, | but on the contrary tone the stomach, and invigorate the | constitution during the progggss of their operations! Dr. | Le Roy’s Pills, in fact unite Those hereto irreconcila- ble, but most desirable qualities, evacuation.and invigor- | ation for they are at the same time a strengthening pur- | gative,and a purifying tonic. The two principal ingredients in Dr. Le Roy’s Pills are Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla. So prepared that each promotes the beneficial effect of the other, the for- mer strengthening, while the latter, through its union with various vegetable ingredients, evacuates and puri- fies ; thusthey superinduce no torpidity of lassitude of the digestive functions, and hence their operations are atten- ded by no reaction or subsequent costiveness.

On Friday last, the ceremony of laying the corner-stone of the Building for the Deaf and Dumb in this City, took place in the presence of a large and brilliant assemblage. Atan early hour the Ma- sons, including with the members of the Lodge here visiting brethren from varions portions of the State, marched from their Hall to the Court House, where the pro- cession was formed; thence to the Capi- tol, where the Governor and Literary Board, and the Orators of the day and of the evening were received; thence to the School of the Deaf and Dumb, where the Principal. his Teachers and Pupils united with the procession; and thence to the Building itself in Caswell Square. , After a Prayer had been offered up by the Grand Chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Joyner, the Corner-stone was laid by the Most Worshipful Grand Master Collins, with appropriate ceremonies. An Ode was thenjsung by the Masons, after which a most\beautifal and eloquent Address was delivared by the Rev. Samuel S. Bryant. A Glee was then sung, and the Masons return! to their Hall. Here an Edaca- tional Meeting was organized, Dr. Josiah O. Watlon in the Chair, and handsome _and’ for§ble Speeches were made by Messrs. 4amay, Bryant, Burton, Gales, and Joyne Ve presdnt below the Ode which was sung on the)pccasion of laying the corner stone by the Masons: AN ODE Written for thepccasion of laying the Cor- ner-stone of he Deaf and Dumb and Blind Asylum\in the City of Raleigh, by the Rev.

The Sons of Temperance united with the Masons in the procession, and both Orders presented a fine appearance. At night, in the Commons [Hall in the presence of an immense audience, an Ad- dress was delivered by H. P. Peat, Esq., Principal of the New York [nstitution for the Deat and Dumb, and the pupils of the School were examined. This Address was what might have been expected from a gentleman of Mr. Peat’s talents and en- larged information. It was written in good style, and it teemed with statistics and important principles and facts on the subject of Deaf and Dumb instruction. We should like very much to See the Ad- dress in print, as we believe its general perusal would be beneficial to that unfor- tunate portion of our population to whose interests it Was particularly devoted. The Odd Fellows in this City, having been invited by Mr. Cooke, the Principal of the Institution, to be present on the oc- casion, assembled at their Hail. on Fay- etteville Street, at half past six o'clock, P. M., from which point they marched at seven to the School on [illsboro’ Street. where they received the Orator and oth- ers in waiting, and escorted them to the A number of brothers were pre- ments; and their appearance in the Com- mons Hall, in the full blaze of the chan- | ‘delier, with their rich regalia and caps, | dreds of bright eyes were fixed upon them, for the ladies of the City had lived to see, | at last, what an Odd Fellow really was ; while Officers of State and grave Editors appeared equally surprised and interested. We regret that our limits will not permit the publication, at length, o rocession; but we may add, that Grand Master McKee was in front, and that the offices of the Encampment and of Manteo Lodge were filled on-the oceasion—Col.

Altogether, the Odd Fellows pre- sented a spectacle which was as respect- able in itself as it was novel to the audi- ence ; and on all hands we bear them spoken of in the most flattering terms. From the Charlesion Courier. Without undertaking to follow up the proceedings of the Court of Inquiry, sitting at Mexico for the trial of Gen. Pillow, we cannot refrain from selecting some of the evidence given before it by Mr. Trist, at its session on the 22d ult., the last day’s proceedings that have yet reached us. After Mr. Trist had answered a num- ber of interrogatofies, with the view of eliciting whether Gen. Pillow was con- nected with or had a knowledge of the publieation of the celebrated “Leonidas” letter, he was cross-examined, Gen. Pil- low himself putting the questions. The answers were of quite a piquant charac- ter, and we should judge not calculated to give much gratification to the interro- gator. The following questions were propoun- ded and answers given. None will deny Mr. Trist the credit of being a plain and explicit witness, shewing no desire to con- ceal his opinions, and leaving no room to misconceive or misunderstand them: Q.—Do you entertain feelings of hos- tility and prejudice against Gen. Pillow. The witness inquired if the court wish- ed that question answered. The court re- plied in the affirmative. A.—With regard to prejudice, the only prejudice that ever existed in my mind with regard to the person who puts the question, was prejudice in his favor. The only feeling of hostility whiéh I entertain- ed, are those arising from,a studied at- tempt on his part to avail himself of the position in: which T had* been placed to- wards him by his friend. Mr. Polk, to make me the accomplice and tvol in a seheme of villany and imposture ;:—of imposture towards our whole country, and villany towards individual officers of this army, the most audacious, by far, that I have any knowledge of— Geu'l. Pillow desired his question an- swered ; the witness was wandering from the point. A.—| have no personal hostility or pre- judice against him or any body else—my hostility is against villany. Q.—Have you, or not, written a letter or letters calculated and intended to in- jure me—and to whom ? i: A.—I have written no letters to any press, or any person connected with any press—or intended to influence the mind of any person connected with any press. ] have written. letters, which, in one sense of the word—* injure”—-were calculated 'to make his character known, and, there- fore, to injure him. The first of these let- ters was written to my family in Wash. ‘was at once striking and splendid. Hun. f the order of | | der, ingion—it contained a message for Mr. | Bachanan, Secretary of State, dictated by ‘feelings of kindness towards him—and ‘the desire to save him (Mr. B.) from dis- grace. That message was— Gen. Pillow said the message was not called for. ‘The witness then passed on to the second letter, and continued— would he made to burry through the Sen- ate. ] deemed the general caution, how- ever, sufficient for the purpose. Q.—In the official letter alluded to, did you use the following language ? “Of these two dupes, the one was San- ta Anna, the other a most worthy compeer of Santa Anna, so far as he can be made so by the same low craving for distinction, and the same happy facility in deviating from the ways of truth and in being deaf to the dictates of common justice and common honesty while pursuing his ob- ject. A person, in fine, whose character in regard to the reach of his mind, and the tone of his mind, was most felicitous- ly and accurately sketched by a friend of mine, in these words; “It is such as to qualify him for striving at a county court bar in the defence of a fellow charged with horse stealing,’ particularly if the case were a bad one, and required_dex- terous tampering with witnesses.” A.—Altbough I cannot pretend to be certain of the words, | have no doubt he (Gen. P.) has been furnished with an ac- curate copy of them, and those were the words as far as my memory can be relied on. Q.—Did you, in that same letter, make use of the following language in refer- ence to myself, viz: “But most grievously would he have erred, if Major Gen. Gideon J. Pillow is announcing my intention of remaining in Mexico, to make a treaty of peace, and giving my reasons for so remaining. Q.—Did you show to Gens. Scott and Smith that part of the letter which has just been shown you relating to myself? | A.—I cannot recollect—the letter was | on a great many sheets. My motive for showing the letter or a part of it to Gens. eeitee ed upon pars of the roid views of those: eset It was not sofficient, at ocratic” Convention, that he be instructed in her crit: t their own party here at ve United Sintes Sewntets must bei c on, and requested to “ enlighten the ant and benighted People” of Nort’ olina, in relation to their duty tothe stitution and theie Country. = But this was not all! The members the Convention were not content alom as Scott and Smith was that they might un- | derstand my position in reference to the | public business—the affairs of the nation. | Whether the sheets containing those pas- sages went into their hands | cannot say. ! Those passages were mere incidents— | seperate from the main objects of the let- | ter. | Q—Since about what date has the hos- tility alluded to in the previous testimony been entertained by you ? | A.—Since his character has been al- | most completely revealed to me. The. thing was of gradual growth; I cannot | fix a day—I will try and fix a period. It was at Tacubaya, during the early part | of our stay there, that 1 became aware | that he had placed me in the alternative | I hoped, however, at that time, that this necessity would be avoided. My mind was then made up, if the necessity presented itself, to meet it. From that to be relied upon as an exponent of the views of our Government. This person, versation with a gentleman belonging to one of the foreign legations here, who, with expressions of surprise, repeated it to me directly after Gen. Pillow having expressed great dissatisfaction of the ar- mistice (which he had been in favor of before it was entered into) had been an- swered by explanations of its indispensa- bleness to negotiation. These appearing not to have any weight with him, the gen- tleman in question was led to say, * why, in this war was a treaty of peace ! ‘True, (replied Gen. Pillow)’ that is the object of was to capture the capital and then make peace.” A.—I] have no doubt those were the words I used. relation to myself. viz: in this army. and who, in the event of the death or disability of General Scott, would have succeeded to the command! an in- maker of the President (by having pro- duced his nomination at Convention), and as the President’s other self. A pretension which I have reason to believe bat two well founded. Justice towards Mr. Polk, and respect for truth alike require, however, that I should not utter this belief without at the same time expressing my perfect conviction that the identity referred to extends no further than the point to which it is carried by a blind confidence on the part of the President in the understanding and the principles of a is the most unworthy of confidence. Be- ‘There is not the slightest resemblance be- spect.” The second letter, in order of date, so far as I can recollect. was written about halt-past 3 o’clock in the morning prece- ding the departure of the train by which | Gens. Quitman and Shields left here—af- ter | bad been at work all day and all night writing. It was addressed to him solely because he was the only member of the military committee in that body whose name I knew. It. was enclosed to my family, with these instructions: “Take a copy of this letter, and so soon as you know of General Dix’s arrived in Wash- ington, direct it, seal it, and send it to the post office. One week exacily after that /time, send for Mr. Buchanan, Secretary -of State, and show him the copy.” The letter was couched as well as I can recol- lect in the following term: “ Beware of | precipitancy in your confirmation of Gen- erals’ nominations in this-quarter; if you | neglect this caution, it can only serve to involve the Senate in a disgrace—a deep, damning, ineffable disgrace—which no earthly power, or all earthly powers com- ‘bined, can avert.” This was the substance of the letter, so far as I can recollect, and the terms. ‘desiring that, if my friend, Robert Dale long despatch to the Department of State /—an official paper—which was sure to go immediately into the hands of the Pre- -sident, whom | thought it might save from | the infatuation that he was laboring un- /no other way.

Pillow here interrupted the wit- ‘ness. He desired to know to whal he was | going to allude. This did not appear to be in answer to this question. Witness asked for the reading of the question, which was done, and the court instructed ‘the witness to proceed. Answer resumed.—The scheme of vil- lany to which I allude was a scheme of | imposture fur passing himself off upon the | country for a skilful general and com- | mander. ‘The way in which I was to be /an accomplice in that game—a tool in it _—and be led thus to deceive the country ‘and do injustice towards individuals, was ‘this :—availing himself of the relations established between us by the President, (alluded to before.) and of the character which ] had enjoyed with those who have , known me for great discretion, he would make me the confidential depository of his views, in anticipation of events, so that, in case of failure in the operations which took place, ] should be a living witness, and bound to come forward as such at his call to the fact, that his mili- tary genius had penetrated through the whole thing, and that he had been oppos- ed to every thing that failed. This game was played by him throughout, as I after- ‘wards on reflection perceived. [Gen. Pillow here stated that he had no further questions to ask the witness in re- vard to the present charge. He should desire to call him on one specification to another charge, when he expected to bring some further proof, &c. General Scott said he desired to put one or two questions more ; and the court assented. Question Ly Gen. Scott.—Will the wit- ness please state whether Gen. Scott had any agency or part whatever in advising or suggesting the letters written by him (the witness) against Gen. Pillow ? A.—Maj. Gen. Scott nor any other hu- man being has ever been consulted with or spoken to concerning those letters or any one determination taken by me on any subject since 1 have been in Mexico. mine ever had upon any determination taken by me, was after that determina- tion had assumed a shape which neither he nor any other iuman being could have changed. | Remarkable Operation. — The Charleston Courier says “ we have lately been permitted to see three casts of the nose and face of a. young gentleman of this city who labored under a great natural deformity of the nose—what is vulgarly called the bridge—being very much depressed whilst the point was turned up.

PILLOW AND POLK. It is said, on the authority of the ex- Ambassador to Mexico, Nicholas P. Trist, (says the Richmond Whig) that Gen. Pil- low boasts of his exploits as a politician, /as well as of his gencralship and valor on the field of battle. He is not only a Na- poleon—he is a Guy Warwick. He is the maker of President as well as the ter- ror of Mexicans. He claims the credit (of having made Mr. Polk President—and ‘that is the reason, we suppose, that Polk made Pillow (what he was even less fit for than Polk was for the Chief Magistra- cy) a Major General. When we first saw-this statement, we were at some loss to conjecture by what means Pillow had succeeded in elevating his county-court law partner to the Presidency. Bat the Philadelphia North American furnishes this satisfactory explanation of the way in which the great political as well as mil tary strategist from Tennessee succeeded in accomplishing his object. That paper sas ; “The best solution of the mystery we ‘ean give refers to the little statement in the Harrisburg Union, soon after the Bal- timore Convention had nominated Mr. Polk, about Mr. Polk being such an ex- cellent tariff man.,—that statement being made on the faith of an alleged declara- tion to that effect made at Baltimore, da- ring the session of the Convention, by ‘a near neighbor’ of the Duck River candi- date, who professed to understand all his sentiments, and knew that he was friend- ly tothe tarilf of 1842! That statement secured Mr. Polk the vote of Pennsylva- nia, which made him President. The sto- ry is that the near neighbor’ who made the declaration at Baltimore was Mr, now General Gideon Pillow ; and if the story be true, Gen. Pillow has a perfect right to boast that he did make Mr. Polk Pres- ident; since nothing is more certain than that that infamous deception elected Mr. Polk to the office in which he was able to reward friendship, and put mendacity in epaulettes. It was very well, doubtless, for Mr. Pillow to bolster Mr. Polk ; and it was as natural for Mr. Polk to put bis Pillow in a new case.” Salt a good Manure for Celery.—A root and stalk of celery weighing fourteen pounds with. out the leaves, and measuring fourteen inches in circumference, was exhibited at a recent meeting of the Cincinnatti Horticultural Soeie. ty.

None had the effect of preparing the minds of the public to expect such a mighty rising of the People and demanding reform in the Administration of their Governments, although, many. were of the opinion that the Revolution begun in France, would, more or less, affect the quietude of all the crowned heads. Never before have thrones, which seemed almost impregna- ble, crumbled away with such rapidity, before this outbreak of public opinion.— The world has never witnessed any thing like it, It is, indeed, a sublime spectacle. Nearly a whole continent, divesting itself of Monarchical Government, compara- tively speaking, without bloodshed, and substituting in their stead models of our own free and happy Republic. If this state of things should continue, by the next arrival we shall hear, in all probability, of the complete emancipation of all Europe from the rotten and extrav- agant systems which have checked the advancement of intelligence and correct principles. The strongest opposition, which will be made to the spread of knowledge and liberty, we expect to see manifested by the Emperor of poor benighted Rus- sia. There, by the last accounts no out- breaks had taken place, though the Em- peror had ordered the army into the field, to be ready, in any emergency, to crush any movemenf having for its object a re- lief from despotism. Three Days Later From Europe. Republic Proclaimed in Prussia—The King in Prison—Revolution in Iombardy Successful —Russia in the Field—Revolution in Poland —France all Quiet, &c. New York, April 20, 10 A. M. The express steamboat Republic has just ar- rived, bringing up packages of Havre papers brought by the packet ship Duchess d’Orlenns, to the 29th of March, three days later than those brought by the steamer Hibernia, The fermentation in Europe is still increas. ing, and Republicanism is spreading, but not without signs of opposition from the Autocrat of Russia. A Republic has been declared in Prussia, Ministers, seized by the provisional government established and cast into prison. The Prince has made good his escape to England. The revolution at Lombardy was entirely successful, but has been accompanied by great bloodshed. The King of Naples has yielded to the peo- ple all the reforms and extension of their liber. ties that they demanded. England still firmly protests against the Mont- pensier marriage. It is expected that, notwithstanding the con- cessions made by the Emperor ot Austria, he will be compelled to abdicate, to make way for a republic. The Emperor of Russia has issued a ukase ordering the army into the field, in which he ———- —.-—~ MR. CLAY. We publish this week an important let- ter from this Statesman, consenting to be a candidate for the Presidency, should the Whigs of the Union think it necessary to nominate him. This letter, like every thing emanating from Mr. Cray, gives un- doubted evidence of his pure patriotism. It shows that he is ever ready to lend his | aid to bring his country back to its former purity, which no man since the days of Wasurneron, has evinced more than he. gives, as a reason for so doing, an “alliance with the U. States (should probably be United Powers) to stop the flood of anarchy spreading throughout Europe.” Some disturbances have taken place at Lyons and Havre between the people and soldiery ; but they were easily quelled. The rumored Polish revolution is fully con- firmed by this arrival, but nothing further re- ceived as to its prospects or progress. Nothing later is received by this arrival from mercial intelligence. “If there be one principle which deserves SECOND DISPATCH. to be more deeply rooted than another in the . minds of every American, zt is that we should N.

Inthe SENATE, on Thursday, a deeply ex- tied debate arose on a motion by Mr. Hale of N.H. for leave to introduce a bill relative to mlawful assemblages in the District.‘ Stirr- g speeches were made, (says the Baltimore not,) in which Messrs. Calhoun, Butler, gum, Hannegan, Douglass, the two Davi. dole, and others participated. Mr. Foote aeon his highphalutin horse, and assured Mr. that if he would come to Mississippi, he be very much exalted, and said he would a hand in doing those high honors to his Mion deserts! That is, that they would AR the New Hampshire Senator in Mississip- if they could catch him out in that State. Mator Douglass thought his locofoco friend tte was doing damage to the party, by the of such terms—that he would drive Loco- over to the abolition cause in the free Mites, and cause them to vote for Mr. Hale, Candidate of the abolitionists fur the Presi- y. So he told Mr. Foote, that his speech Was as good as 10,000 votes to the Senator from anew Hampshire. Mr. Foote was again upon "8 high horse by way of explanation.

The bill proposed was merely intend. ed to hold the city corporation liable for pro- perty destroyed by mob violence. Mr. Benton hoped that the whole subject would be dropped, and the regular business proceeded with. Mr. Calhoun spoke with warmth, denouncing the ef- forts of Northern abolitionists to deprive Southern men of their property. I€ Northern vessels coald not visit Southern waters, without endangering Southern rights, Southern men would prevent them at all. The conse- quence would be that the question. would thus directly be brought to amvissue. If any political event threatened the safety of the Union, it is the slavery question. All matter tending to a collision upon this point should be watched and treated with caution. He trusted therefore that leave to introduce the bill would not be granted. _Mr, Hale replied, and utterly denied that he had in speech or silence, had any connection with the kidnap- ping business. _ Mr. Calhoun abruptly closed the discussion as far as himself was concerned, by observing that he shauld as soon think of arguing with a maniac, as the Senator from New Hampshire upon the subject.

He gave way several times to Mr. _ Haskell and others to interrogate Mr. Giddings, who in reply to one of the questions, admitted an effort to regain free¢om, but with this ad- mission acknowledged the supremacy of the law in its relation to whites who abetted them. Mr, V. concluded by moving an amendment in- creesing the number of the committee to nine. Mr. ‘Toombs, of Georgia, next took the floor, and made a powerful and eloquent speech, de- nying that the House had any right to entertain a question of privilege. Mr. Morse, of Louisiana, next spoke on the same side, and complimented the speech of Mr. ‘Toombs warmly. Some very severe declarations against Messrs.

Of fifiy-two milliners dying in the same year, thirty-three died of diseases of the lungs, of whom 28 died of consumption.

The startling draw back on nearly ali Medicinal Afi- ents has ever been that in their process of purgation and purification, they have also debilitated the system.— Hence purgative medicines have always been regarded ~ as at best but a necessary evil, patients resorting to them for the relief of one disease at the expense of another.— To obviate this, physicians have long sought for an a- gent that would at the same time purge, purify and strengthen, but their efforts were nearly fruitless, and they had almost despaired of success when the labors of science and research were rewarded by a discovery which fully realized the fondest desires of the Medical Facuhty,and which is justly regarded as one of the most important tri- umphs‘that Pharmacy has ever achieved. ‘I’his impor- tant desideratum is named Dr. Le Roy’s Vegetable Uni- versal Pills, which purify the blood, and remove all cor- rupt and vitiated humours, and anhealthy accumulations from the body in a manner never befure rivalled, and which yet produce no weaknes3 or lassitude whatever, but on the contrary tone thegtomach, and invigorate the constitution dusing the progress of their operations! Dr. Le Roy’s Pills, in fact unite those heretofore irreconcila- ble, but most desirable qualities, evacuation and invigor- ation for they are at the same time a strengthening pur- gative,and a purifying tonic. The two principal ingredients in Dr. Le Roy’s Pills are Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla. So prepared that each promotes the beneficial effect of the other, the for- mer strengthening, while the latter, through its union with varions vegetable ingredienis, evacuates and puri- fies; thusthey superinduce no torpidity of lassitude of the ee 5 digestive functions, anJ hence their operations are atten- | ded by no reaction or subsequent costiveness.

This medicine is acknowledged to be one of the most valuable ever discovered, as a purifier of the blood and fluids. It is superior to Sarsaparilla, whether as a so- dorific or alternative. It stands infinitely before all the preparations or combinations of Mercury. Its pargative properties are alone of incalculable value—for these pills may be taken daily for any period, and instead of a weak- | ening by the cathartic effect, they add strength by taking { | away the cause of weakness. There is no good Mercu- ry does, which these pills do not likewise. But they | have none of the miserable effects of that deadly specific. | | | { \ { | The teeth are not injured—the bones and limbs are par- alyzed—no—but in the stead of these distressing symp- toms, new life and consequent animation is evident in ev- ery movement of the body.

At the age of thirty- par he became enamored of a rich par- hioner.

We must make 4) elegant dinner, and have a dancing [ae it.’ ‘Dancing! in a minister's house!’ ejac- ted Mr. N : ‘Why yes certainly,’ replied his wife, xingly. ‘You will not dance; the ‘fy will be mine; and then we have ;.@ to similar parties all the winter.’ True, true, he muttered with a per- xed air, and sat silent for some time if considering. At length he spoke— Yes Nancy, you may have a party, ‘@a diner, and if your guesis desire it, ¥i may dance.’ ’ Thank you, love,’ she cried, putting her eos around his neck.

By the Canard steamer Agapta, which ar- rived at Bosten on the 23d ult., from Liver- pool on the Sth inst., we have advices from Europe five days later than those brought by the Sarah Sands. A Telagraphic despatch presents the follow- ing view of her intelligence ; There is a general commotion throughout Europe, which threatens a total subversion of the ancient order of things. Empires ere tottering, thranes waving, and making every concession demanded, to maintain their inse- cure tenure, and every movement is verging to the state predicted by Napoleon: Republi- can or Cossack. Hostilities have finally and fully commenced in Lombardy and Northern Italy, Crarves ALBERT of Sardinia has at length assumed the offensive, with a force of 30,000 men. The army was already in motion and crossing over from Piedmont into Lombardy, preceded by a manifesto and formal declara- tion of war against Austria. a rapidly approaching. | The Austrians, defeated at every point, had | given way, and were fallling back in rapid | flight in the direction of the Tyrol. The Italian Dutchies were all ina state of, actual insurrection, and the Austrian domina. | tion and all Powers upheld by its arms and in. | fluences, completely prostrated. Marshal Ra- detzki, the Austrian General, with his forces, was so powerless as to he unnble to enter Mantna, and being not in a condition to con. tinue his retreat, would probably be compelled to capitulate upon the first appearance of the | Sardinian army. Indeed, the course of its lea. | der (King Charles Albert) had met with such favor in the eyes of the insurrectionist that re. | cruits were rapidly flocking in, and in a short | time, it was estimated, he would have a dispo- sable force of a quarter of a million under his | command, With sucha force he would not only be able to liberate Lombardy, but to threas ten Austria itself, and even dictate terms to the Aulic Council at the gates of Vienna. Sucha consummation in the present course of events was not improbable. The news trom Germany is equally start. | ling, though perhaps not unexpected. It was reported and generally credited that republics | bad been declared in the kingdoms of Wirtem. burg and Saxony, and grand duchy of Baden. And in every part of the German Confederacy liberal Governments had been conceded to the people. In Hanover the triumph of the people had been complete, and the King forced to suc- cumb and grant whatever was demanded. In Prussia, afier the bloody scenes we have | heretofore recorded, the King had promised | constitutional reforms, but at the same time | had plunged headlong into dispute with the | Dane, concerning the Duchies Schlewing and | Holstein, and had also exasperated Russia by | | } | | | encouraging the Poles to erect an independent | Government in Posen. Silesia, Breslau, and | Lithuania were in an alarming state of convul- | sion and upon the verge of revolt, It was rnmored that 50,000 Cossacks had | certainly appeared at ‘Tilsit, and serious con- segrences were anticipated, ‘The Emperor of Russia bad ordered every man in Rus. | sian Poland between eighteen and thirty-five | years of age, to remove into the interior, and was concentrating a vast anoy, sufficient, as | it was thought, to crus! republic. No actual hostilities had occurred mark, but both sides were preparing. Belgium and Holland were tranqnil. All revolutionary attempts were foiled in| Turkey under Rusgian influence, and from this cause the Portellilad¥e fused to acknowledge the | French Republic. Disturbances had occurred at Madrid. Sol. | diers and people had come into collision, and many were killed upon both sides. Queen Christina fled during the conflict. A Parliament had been constituted in Sicily *-separation from Naples being complete. The French Government had ordered an ar. | my to be assembled upon the frontiers of Italy | to watch the movements of the contending par- ties. On the 8d instant Lamartine received Smith O’Brien and the members of the com. mittee from the Repeal Association. He made a Speech full of vigor and sympathy, and free from every thing offensive tothe British Gov. | ernment. A determination was declared not to inter- fere in any internal difficulties of other nations. Paris quiet and tranquility was restored in Lyons. The elections in the National Guard had re- sulted generally in favor of republican candi- dates, Remonstrances have been presented by the | diplomatic agents of Belgium, Prussia, and | Austria, for allowing Belgians, Germans, and | Poles to make public demonstrations against | their own Governments. Lamartine replied | that France did not intend to interfere with those Governments, nor deprive subjects of | theirs residing in Paris of the liberty of freely | expressing their sentiments. England and Jreland were in a state of the greatest excitement. Lord Russell has repor. | ted the determination of the Government to ap. | ply the whole weight of its power to maintain order and suppress rebellion, but was willing to remedy any distress they could. 1 all attempts to erect a | in Den- Accounts from Ireland are more menacing, and additional troops were arriving from Ena- Jand. The Repealers of Dublin, supported by the provinces, were electing delegates to a Council of Three Hundred, which is to assem. ble in Liverpool. | It was expected that Dublin would be placed | under the operation of the recent law in rela. | tion to arming, and that all pikes and arms | purchased would be required to be given up. | Bepealers already say that the repeal of the | union is now not sufficient to satisfy the great | grievances of the country. A republic is the | only remedy for evils under which the whole country groans. By the Sarah Sands we had accounts that | the Chartists were making arrangements for | assembling en masse in London to present a | petition to Parliament in favor of a charter, and of making other reforms in the Government.— It wat estimated that the call would probably | take’ five hundred thousand people to London, and with such an array of excited men there Was great cause for fearing a serious outbreak. e@ meeting was fixed for the 10th of April.

Of the result of all this preparation we shall know nothing until the arrival of the steamer America, which was to sail from Liverpool on the 15th instant, and has now probably accom. plished half her passage across the Atlantic.

INDIAN CORN. The following observations in relation to In. dian corn meal were communicated to the Jour- New York. Yellow and white corn are not the same in | quality, although they are identical in kind, and grow in the same field. The nutritive qualities of the yellow corn sur- passes that of the white, and that is a good rea- son why the common sense of the people, or their ordinary experience, assigns to it a pre- ference, independent of its mere looks. buildings are filled with these weapons of war. Several regiments of troops are ordered distributed at various points, having ball cait- ‘These precautions are taken to prevent any disturbances on Monday next, the day appoint. ed for a Chartist meeting on Kennington Com. mon, It is variously estimated that from 50,- | 000 to 500,000 persons will be present at that | : a that proportion so much the less nutricious meeting. The object of the meeting is to form a procession, and march to the Houses of Par. | to Parliament. There is nothing objectionable in the petition, but the Government fear that some disturban. | ces will ensue from such a formidable mass of men. To-day the Government have issued a, proclamation forbidding the meeting. This has | somewhat calmed the minds of the upper class. es and trades-people ; but this afiernoon the Chartists (now in convention in Fitzroy square) passed a unanimous resolution that they would bold their proposed meeting notwithstanding the It is because I Chartists now in London are so determined that I fear the worst consequences. I fear that there will be a collision between the troops and | ] fear that the scenes of Paris, Vienna, and Berlin will be re-enacted in the streets of London. I have this moment been informed by a gen. | tleman connected with one of the public offices, that the procession will not be allowed to pass | over any of the bridges, (Kennington Common is on the Surry side of the Thames ;) and, fur- thermore, the military will be stationed on the bridges, and will not permit any persons to pass, and, if any attempt is made, orders will be giv- en for the troops to fire ! Looking at the revolutionary state of all Eu- rope, there is certainly great cause for alarm in London ; not only in London, but Dublin, | and in fact, inthe whole kingdom. Cabinet councils are held daily, and I am assured that Ministers scarcely know how to act. | At one council there was great difference of | Opinion as to whether the Queen and her family | should remain in London, or leave before Mon. | day next. It was finally decided that it would , not be prudent (in another word safe) for her to remain, "Phe Queen left Buckingham palace to-day forthe Isle of Wight! You will remem. ber that she was only recently confined, besides it was deemed advisable for her to leave town. It may be concluded that nothing else is now the topic of conversation in the streets and in| houses but the Chartist demonstration in Lon. | don and the Repeal demonstration in Dublin. | Every boarding in this metropolis is covered | with large placards, addressed to the people, | either calling upon them to come forward on | Monday and obtain their rights, or warning them against this revolutionary movement.— Scores of people stand before these posters and attentively read them. IT heard several persons | call the posters which warned them against meeting, “all humbug.” | | Ireland is at this moment in a most critical | | state, and it is impossible to say what turn af. | fairs may take within one week. ‘The Govern. ment has made military preparations on a most extensive scale. Dublin is filled with troops, | and most of the public buildings have heen taken as barracks. It is evident that a formi- dable demonstration against the Government is fully determined upon by the people. ‘The lea. ders are Smith O’Brien, Meagher, and Mitchell, who openly recommend every man to provide himself with a rifle ora pike. It is well known | that all the blacksmiths are at work day and | night, manufacturing pikes. The Government | are apprized of this fact, and hence the great. military preparations. | It is believed thatthe Repealers of Tie d | and the Chartists of England are so far united | in one common cause that whenever a day is, appointed for striking a blow in Dublin the | Chartists will strike a blow in London. ‘ Tues. | himself by attending to cooking it. | wants. least fatty material and Indian cornthe most, and The investigations of vegetable chemistry have revealed to as many important and inte- resting facts. By the aid of analysis, it has been ascertained that butter in a pure state is combined in all grass, seed and grains. Out of one hundred weight of yellow Indian corn meal, for instance, a good chemist can extract from 8 to 10 pounds of butter. Out of the same weight of Indian meal six or eight per cent of butter can he made, thus proving it to be in quality of Indian meal. Any one can satisfy the usual process of When it is boiled thick for mush, if a crust adheres to the side of the vessel, on cooling, it is apt to peel off itself, owing to this fatty material in it. It has furthermore been proved, that the but- ter obtained from the milk, is not animal secre- _ tion, but what previously existed in the pure and original state, in the hay or food of the cow: and a skilful chemist can make more butter out of one hundred weight of hay, than a cow can, as the cow must appropriate a considera- | ble share of it for the uses and necessities of her organization. Give a cowa hundred pounds of hay, and she will render back eight pounds of batter, but an expert chemist can realize 12 | or thirteen pounds out of it. In the choice of the various articles of food, to suit our taste on particular occasions—to cor- respond to the multiplied emergencies of life— the adaptations of the multifarious qualities of food, display infinite wisdom and goodness. In | sickness, in health, in toil, while our means a- bound, when they are scanty, we demand differ- ent kinds of food and different varieties of the same kind, to satisfy our real and imaginary Of the grain stuffs, rice contains the ranging between these two extremes, we have wheat, oats, rye, barley, &c., all different, and yet all of them capable of being applied to the respective conditions which are united to them. It is because of the fatty nature of Indian corn meal that it is such a strange kind of food | and that persons unaccustomed to it cannot at first endure it. The nations which feed prin- cipally on rice, are not near sorubust as those which use Indian corn, as the blacks of the South mostly do. Persons accustomed to this kind of food, therefore, will do best to commence with the white Indian meal, in preference to the yellow, as it is not so rich ; and this pre- ference to the white over the yellow has al- ready occurred in England where the articles are new. There is only one more observation which I wish to make. As indian corn meal contains so much fat in it, kept too long it is liable to be- come rancid, and is then more of Jess unfit for use. In the shipments made to the West In- dies the meal is uncommonly kiln dried, to ob- viate as much as possible this tendency to ran- cidily. For reasons just detailed, the white _meal will keep rather better ; and from its be- ing lighter and milder, it is as much preferred for use in warm climates, as the yellow for similar inducements is in cold. LATER FROM MEXICO—ANOTHER AMERICAN VICTORY. By the telegraph from St. Louis to the Pitts. burg papers, we have confirmatory accounts of the battle fought at Rosalie, sixty miles from Chihuahua. The Americans were victorious, fourteen pieces of Artillery taken, and the Go. prisoners were taken by our forces. The loss | in killed and wounded on both sides were repre- sented as being heavy. The trial of Amigo, the former Governor of | New Mexico, arraigned for high treason for participating in the insurrectionary movement at Taos, had taken place and resulted in his honorable acquittal. The rumors of Urrea’s advance from Duran- go, with about 10,000 men, had been proven to be unfounded by the arrival of Col.

Never, perhaps, ; ¢ oblivion con- sequent generally . y wonderment, so fully exemplified as in the case of the war with Mexico. No jour- nalist writes about it, no citizen talks -a- bout it, and one might almost doubt whe- ther any think about it, exccpt perhaps those whose affections centre in some one now spending his life in inglorious ease in an enemy’s country. The war might really never have been, or might have long since ceased to be, so far as it seems to have any hold upon the public mind. It is almost impossible to realize the sud- den absence of all feeling of excitement upon the subject, in view of the fact that four months ago it was the theme on which some Whig and all Democratic editors, from the “ Union” upward, were daily wasting paper and ink in spreading abroad their indignation and ferocity. Well, there is a lesson in this change of sentiment which should not be lost up- on our Government. The war cry and the war spirit have béen entirely quelled by the very first step toward peace, and the inference is inevitable that all the boasted popularity of the war, and the boasted patriotism of some of its defend- ers, Were mere moonshine, party tricks to keep up excitement and cajole men into volunteering to fight, and the people gen- erally into paying for the glory of thrash- inganenemy. We incline also to think that there were motives on the part of the Executive or his Cabinet which would not bear a rigid examination. As soon, however, as there appears the least hope of peace, the bawlers for war are com- pelled by the force of public opinion to seems to have simultaneously arrived at the same conclusion, that the war, except of the war: with the majority of the peo- ple it was never popular, and the hollow | friends of those who promoted it have | been driven off their ground by the action of the Senate and of the President. Now every one seems to admit that we have had war enough and at cost enough, and the people are content perhaps to “ buy a peace,” so that they may be allowed qui- etly and without distraction to prosecute their commercial, agricultural, and other pursuits. As is often the case when blessings come suddenly upon us, perhaps thank- | fulness and joy are warping the popular judgment, and the collapse may prove al- most as dangerous as the excitement, and we confess as to some anxiety in the con- templation of the future. Peace is not yet made with Mexico: this should be borne in mind, and on the question wheth- er it will be made the probabilities on | either side are very nicely balanced. If Mexico accepts and ratifies the amended proposals for a treaty—supposing. for the sake of argument, that she has power to enforce the fulfilment—then will this na- | tion, we believe, profoundly rejoice, al- though the terms and conditions are not a little at variable with the prognostications | and high promises held out by Mr. Polk. and other advocates of the war. | But, supposing the contrary, it may well , be doubted whether this country can rea- dily reassume the attitude and again evoke | the enthusiasm for fighting which at the commencement of operations it displayed. | Time has come to the rescue of fevered | The past has its records of deaths | by the sword and by the pestilence which | appal and dismay the nation. son for vomito approaches, and, whatever | { { The sea- | martial ardor still slumbers in the breasts | of men. there must be a lull in warlike operations, for the god of pestilence will | | have it so. And in this connexion we. | may not lose sight of the moral effects of the rumored disorganization which has | existed in the army, and in which even officers have indulged, in the conscious security of political favor or obligation. How we shall stand if war is to be re- commenced—continued we ought rather to say—is agrave question. Heaven grant that such a calamity may be averted, for it seems to us that the President and his Cabinet have displayed as much want of | sound discretion and intelligent fore- | thought in the present conjuncture as they | did in commencing and carrying on the war. That men who love their country and desire peace and prosperity should unite upon some future occupant of the White House, with astatesman’s intellect and experience and a patriot’s virtue, seems to us not only in itself desirable, but our only hope for the future.—N.

Itisa part of the same force recently sent to aid in quelling the disturbances inghe Republic of Venezuela.

The mercantile and financial intelligence from wrope, by commercial circulars, is gloomy.— ‘abtrc securities are every where falling in alue ; commerce is stagnant; credit is pros. ated; and nearly every description ot mer- andise is falling in price. ‘This is to be at- ibuted to the dread of a general European r, and to the commercial crisis which de. sses every thing on the continent, particular- at Paris. No appearance is manifest of a turn of public confidence there, nor of the ption of manufactures and commercial ctions. No one enters into a speculation, makes a single purchase beyond the wants ge stocks on hand, and whose property, even the present times, far exceeds their liabili- dies, are obliged to suspend payment, from sheer inability to turn their property into cash on any terms. American stocks are looking up. The European Times mentions the sale of a small amount of U.S. six per cents. at 86 to 98 per cent., and says that more could be sold if it were in England. The State of Wisconsin.—Governor Dodge, of the Territory of Wisconsin, has just issued his Proclamation declaring that the Constitution lately submitted to the People of that Territory for adoption, preparatory to their assuming the position of a State of the American Union, has been approved by a majority of 10,293 votes out of 22,591 votes cast.— Nat.

Le Roy’s Pills are a new medicine which has just appeared, and is fast taking the places of all others of the same class. These pills are composed of many ingredients, but the two principal one are Sarsapa- rillaand Wild Cherry, so united that they act together ; the one, through its admixture with other substances, pu- rifying and purging, while the other is strengthening the system. Thus those pills are at the same time tonic and opening ; a desideratum Icng und eagerly sought for by medical men, but never before discovered. In other words they do the work of two medicines, and do it much better than any two we know of ; for they remove noth- ing from the system but the impurities; so that while they purge they strengthen ; and hence they cause no de- bilitation, and are followed by no re-action. Dr. Le | Roy’s Pills have a wonderful influence on the blood ; they | not only purify without weakening it, but they remove all | noxious particles from the chyle before its is converted in- | to fluid, and thus make impure blood an utter impossibil- ity. As there is no debilitation, so there is no nausea or sickness attending the operations of this most excellent of medicines, which never strains or tortures the digestive functions, but causes them to work in a perfectly natural | manner ; and hence persons taking them do uot become pale and emaciated, but the contrary ; for while it is the property of the Sarsaparilla, united as it is with other in- gredients, to remove all that is impure, it is equally the property of the Wild Cherry to retain all that is natural and sound ; and hence a robust state of health is the cer- tain result of their united operations. \ For sale by Messrs.

In costly robes? in trappings gay? A fop tricked out before the glass? No! clad in sober grey, A nobleman in heart is he, With mind for his nobility. His crest a sou! in virtue strong, His arms a heart with honor bright : Which gold bribes not to what is wrong, Nor blinds to what is right ; The patent of his courtly race-— Behold it in his open face. He cringes not on those above, Nor tramples on the worm below ; Misfortune cannot cool his love, Or flattery make it grow ; Staunch to his friends in woe or weal, As is the magnet to the steel. He envies not the deepest sage : He scoffs not at the meanest wight ; And all the war that he doth wage Is in the cause of right: For broad estate and waving land, He has the poor man’s willing hand. ed farmers, even thangh you may & made to blush because you can give no other reason than your father always did so, and you have always done s0,—yes, let the boys ask ; let them learn whether the old mill horse paths in which you and your father have been going round for half a century and more, are the best paths. It is only by making the pursuit more intellsctual that you can make the intelligent and inquists tive boy coniented with agricultural labors.-— Thus only can you fit him for successful compe- 3 tition and respectability among those who are fast coming up to take the places which we now fill. Rich treasures of knowledge can be found in the barn, the hog-pen, the manure heap, and in the soil of every field and pasture upon the farm. Let the boys seek fur the wealth, and do not forget to join them in the search.— New England Farmer. SIGN OF A PROSPEROUS FARMER. 1. When a farmer is seen married young, it shows that Providence helps those who help) themselves, and that in future he will have “helps ” of more kinds than one. He is not rich, and yet, indeed, Has wealth: nor pocr, his stock though small, Not rich: he gives so much to need. Not poor, for on him fall Such blessings from relieved distress, To crown his path with happiness.

This splendid establishment deserves partic- ular potice. The grounds are <ituate in vari- ous parts of the city of Ml gaan with large cottages, dens, cages and commodious struc- ‘tures. We give brief descriptions ot some of e most’ prominent of the animals. The head r, Jonathan Populus, Esq., often vulgarly led “Uncle Sam,” has, sometimes, conside- rable difficulty in keeping them in order. No. I. In a large white cage by itself, is an important animal, evidently a cross of the fox and tiger, called “ Jummy.” He was born in North Carolina, and acclimated in Tennessee. He becomes furious when a Mexican blanket or serape, or a child’s puzzle called “ tariff,” is shown him. In his food, he dalights in the roots and fruits of the pokebush, and in those aquatic productions of the West called snags and sawyers. Great care is taken to raise the latter in abundance for his use. When first discovered, about three years since, all the old pol-naturalists exclaimed, * what order does this creature belong to?” He has however, made out to fill a large space in his public cage, but is now somewhat on the decline. No. II In a cabinet, adjoining the above, is a fine specimen of the Conestoga horse-genus, called “Oxpsuck,” rather timed, ponderous, and wall-eyed. He is not known to have ma- ted. In his youth, he had no war-like propen- sities, but went into a cavalry troop, and quick- ly retired. He is very fond of souerkraut. Ale though of grave demeanor, he plays admirably with a toy called “ thimble-rig,” to the amaze- ment of his fellow den-izens and many foreign animals. He is frequently observed to be anx- iously watching the white cage of No. I for hours together. No. 3. Same cabinet. A small-sized quad- ruped of the weazel kind, named “Srer Bos.” Fond of the productions of Texas for edibles. — Rather wasteful, and desirous that all bis food should be free of cost. Habits singular; amu- ses himself with counting coppers and sixpen- ces belonging to the keeper, with an appear- ance of wisdom. Continually making mistakes, he scratches his head, and begins again, with the same result. He also, with the many things given to him by the keeper, constantly tries to swap or trade with his fellows, without giving or taking boot, so as to make the operation free. No. 1V. Same cabinet. Melancholy-look- ing animal, who from his supposed warlike in- stincts, was, alter the ancient fashion of denom- inating a glittering sword, styled “* Mercy.” He is clearly of the ourang-outang species. Heis _fond of sops and nuts, but detests soup, especial- ‘ly ifin a hasty plate. Being an imitative ani- mal, the keeper has furnished him with an old | pair of breeches, which, for occupation, he | gravely endeavors to mend, but without suc- | of these have now steod the test for years and with the inventor, Mr. Gq , it is no longer an experiment. Furth mation may be obtained of him, and we believe that a good opportunity is presented for those who may de- sire to engage in its introduction. : NEW FIRM! DRS.

' each promotes the beneficial effect of the other, the for- VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS. The startling draw back on nearly all Medicinal Afi- | | ents has ever been that in their process of purgation and | cystomers. purification, they have also debilitated the system.— | Hence purgative medicines have always been regarded | as at best but a necessary evil, patients resorting to them for the relief of one disease at the expense of another.— | To obviate this, physicians have long sought for an a- | gent that would at the same time purge, purify and | strengthen, but their efforts were nearly fruitless, and they | had almost despaired of success when the labors of science | and research were rewarded by a discovery which fully | realized the fondest desires of the Medical Faculty, and | which is justly regarded as one of the most important tri- | umphs that Pharmacy has ever achieved. ‘This impor- | tant desideratum is named Dr. Le Roy’s Vegetable Uni- | versal Pills, which purify the blood, and remove all cor- ruptand vitiated humours, and unhealthy accumulations | from the body in a manner never before rivalled, and which yet produce no weakness or lassitude whatever, | but on the contrary tone the stomach, and invigorate the constitution during the progress of their operations! Dr. Le Roy’s Pills, in fact unite those heretofore irreconcila- | ble, but most desirable qualities, evacuation and invigor- | ation for they are at the same time a strengthening pur- | gative,and a purifying tonic. The two principal ingredients in Dr. Le Roy’s Pills So prepared that mer strengthening, while the latter, through its anion | with various vegetable ingredients, evacuates and puri- | fies; thusthey superinduce no torpidity of lassitude of the | ; digestive functions, and hence their operations are atten- | ; . , | my instructions for the last five years, and I can wit ded by no reaction or subsequent costiveness.

This medicine is acknowledged to be one of the most | valuable ever discovered, as a purifier of the blood and | fluids. It is superior to Sarsaparilla, whether as a so- | dorific or alternative. It stands infinitely before all the | preparations orcombinations of Mercury. Its purgative | properties are alone of incalculable value—for these pills | may be taken daily for any period, and instead of a weak- | | ening by the cathartic effect, they add strength by taking away the cause of weakness. There is no good Mercu- try does, which these pills do not likewise. But they | have none of the miserable effects of that deadly specific. The teeth are not injured—the bones and limbs are par- | alyzed—no—but in the stead of these distressing symp- toms, new life and consequent animation is evident in ev- ery movement of the body. Brandreth’s pills are indeed | a Universal Remedy, for they cure opposite diseases :— | they cure Inflamation and Chronic Rheumatism! They | cure Diabetts of Urine. They cure Dysentery and Con- | stitutional Costivenegs. They will cure these apparently | opposite diseases, b@eause they cleanse and purify the blood, provided, however, nature is not beyond all human | assistance. | In all cases they will be found a safe and simple reme- | dy, yet all powerful for the removal of diseases, whether | chronic or recent, infections or otherwise. They do not render the system liable to be affected by any changes of temperature. The very cause, or occasion of the hu- | man frame being affected by colds and coughs is remov- | ed by their use. Therefore, they may be used at all times | and seasons without damage, and change of diet, and any | extra care is unnecessary. | These Pills are for sale at 25 cents per box, by our a- | gents inevery townin the State,and by the following | highly respectable gentlemen in this vicinity, viz : Brown | & James, Salisbury ; David Fraley, Rockville ; A. & D. | W.

To this decision Gen. Scott entered his protest. Capt. Taylor’s testimony was very clear- ly against the claim of Gen. Pillow, of , having planned the battle of Contreras. He says: “J asked him [the night previ- ous to the battle] how things looked? He replied, badly. He said the position was very strong, too strong to be attacked, and that he was going to report that fact to 'Gen. Scott, advising him to leave it, and get in the rear of San Antonio.” Rather a strange opinion for one who had plann- ed the attack ! Capt. Grayson’s testimony locates Gen. Pillow at San Augustine on the 20th of August, at about seven o'clock, A. M. Lt. Beauregard testified that in a con- sultation of General and Staff Officers, at , Piedad, Gen. Scott expressed a decided prefereance for attacking Chapultepec, in preference to the Garita of San Anto- nio, but that Gen. Pillow preferred an at- tack on the latter, although on the eve- ning before he had said to him that the time for attacking the latter had passed. The testimony of Mr. James L. Frea- ner, “ Mustang” of the Delta, is too rich and good to be passed over lightly. We will therefore give the most racy morsel. “James L.

It was in the course of a general conversation, while I was talking to Gen. Pillow, that afternoon.” Nineteenth Day, April 6—John H. Peo- ples, of the American Star, gave some de- tails of a conversation between himself and Gen. Pillow, in reference to Mr. Peo. ple’s previous notice of intention to pub- lish the Leonidas letter, with such com- ments as he thought it deserved. Gen. Pillow said to him: “You must recollect, as I said before that I never forgot my friends nor forgive my enemies. At that time the late Capt. versation stopped. After Captain Smith had left the room, I asked Gen Pillow if he would allow me to take that letter which he had addressed, but not sent, to me, that could shape a contradiction, as he author- ized, from.

An insurrection has broken out in Hesse Cassel. I got up to leave the room, that he was second in command, and it General Scott were to go home or any thing were to happen him, he then would take com- mand of the army.” The substance of Lt. Tilton’s testimony 'is comprised in the following paragraph : “On or about the 22d September, I, to- gether with another officer, paid a visit of | ceremony to Gen. Pillow. Upon that oc- | casion, the conversation turned upon the | battles preceded our entrance into the ci- ity. Maj. Gen. Pillow stated to us that the battle of Molino del Rey was an un- fortunate affair ; he informed us that he had lost 890 men,, which loss we, (mean- _ing the general officers) sedulously con- cealed from the army, lest it might have 'a dispiriting effect onthe men, aud that 'Gen. Scott was stunned or parlyzed by this loss ; and consequently. upon himself as second in command, devolved the sub- sequent movements—or words to that ef- fect ; I do not recollect exactly the words used. I was also given to understand at the same time, by Gen. Pillow, that the conception. as well as the execution, of the assault upon Chapultapec, originated with himself. With the exception of some personal compliments on ourselves and the Voltigeur Regiment, that was, I be- lieve, the substance of the conversation.” Mr. Trist thus runs a tristful thrust at victory of the 20th of August. They had been in Gen. Scott’s room on the night of the 19th, engaged in consultation respec- ting the contemplated battle of the mor- row. Mr. T. says: “The company dropped off until at a very late hour of the night, when prepa- ration were made by General Scott to go to bed, and he had a bed made in his room also for General Pillow. Upon my leav- ing the room to go to my own, Gen.

At (that time, I looked upon these words as the dying charge of a man who expected to be killed next day, and in a manner corresponding to that expression, | made ‘him a promise, as well as I recollect, “J will not forget.” He then began some further remarks in the same strain, giving | his views of what ought to be done.” | Mr. Trist further testifjed, that at a mee- ting of many general officers, about the ith of September, General Scott was in ‘favor of attacking Chapultapec, but that Gen. Pillow was very reserved. Further- ‘more, that about the same time, Gen. Pil- low expressed to him his decided opinion ‘that there should be no more active ope- ‘rations until the army was reinforced.’ | He also testifies that Gen. Scott was not cast down nor irresolute after the affair of Molino del Rey, as stated by General ‘Pillow, though he was much grieved at |the loss of many personal friends. He | says: “T recollect particularly, Martin Scott / was one of them. His mind, in other res- pects, was precisely what I have always ‘known it to be, in regard to all operations | of the army, busy all day in receiving re- _ports.and comparing views perfectly clear ‘and collected. If there was any differ- , ence between his condition then and on | former occasions, he was more animated.’ | Twentieth Day, April 8.—The testimo- ‘ny of Mr. Trist continued.—It went prin- -cipally to exculpate General Scott from the imputation cast upon him by Gener- al Pillow, of having made an‘ experiment’ ‘in the affair of Molino del Rey.

Ait will be seen that the writer was re- siding in the immediate vidinity of the bleod-shed and violenee which took place jn Berlin, and was consequently a persoa- al observer of the tumult. The letter is of a late date, and gives a partieular and clear account of the whole affair. We can find room only for the following ex- tracts: _ “ Berus, April 1, 1848. * There has been, ever since the news of the French Revolution, an inclination here to follow their example. No open disturbances took place until the 13th March. The next day proclamations were + the houses were perfectly riddled, and in some | places large pieces broken off by cannon balls. About eleven o'clock, alter [ had returned home, the sentinels at the Oberwall-street called to arms, and a féw momentsafier saw an officer on horseback, waving his handkerchief and follow. ed by the people, who were shouting at the top of their voices; he was bearing orders from the King for the military to retire. These or- ders were received with great joy by the sol- diers, who had not bad a whole night’s rest for a week, and had eaten nothing for 24 hours. In an hour’s time there was not a soldier to be seen in Berlin. “The King granted them nearly every thing they asked; one of their petitions was the orgarfizalion of a citizen guard, and that very afiernoon ten thousand were armed atthe Arsenal, and in every place where we used to see soldiers we see armed citizens. In many parts of the city the people would not irnst to the King’s promises and refused to take duwn the barricades until they saw what he promised accomplished, and in the Alexander platz they continued fighting tilktwo hours af. ler peace was made; but when thew saw the cRizens armed they took them all down.” osted on ail the street corners, stating that after three blasts of the trumpet all: those who remained in the streets, would | be arrested and punished with six month’s | imprisonment, or labor. After seven o”- clock the streets were quieter than usual til] about nine o'clock; a detachment of horse, followed by one of the Princes on a beautiful white horse, passed under our window at full gallop. Shortly after some one brought the news that the people had | attacked the soldiers in the Leipsiger-st., | with stones, sticks, &c., and that a regi- ment of cavalry and several companies of infantry bad been ordered to the spot. A few minutes after we heard the tram- | pling of their horses’ feet, and looking out the window saw a thousand mounted lan- cers pass before us, making off, with the point of their lances gleaming in the moon light and with the black and white flags with which every lance was adorned, a strange and handsome appearance. The people had raised up ail the draw bridges across the Spree, to prevent the passage of the troops. At eleven o'clock, as in the evening, ail was quiet. The people were fired upon by the soldiers, but, I be- Jieve, none were killed. Next day the students held a meeting, which ended in theic determining to arm themselves and take revenge for the outrages which had been committed; nothing else happened. The next day the King granted freedom of the press. It seems that the people had assembled before the Palace to thank him for his concessions, but, unfortunate- iy, their “ vivat” was mistaken for “ @ bos” by one of the officers, who ordered his mea to charge upon them and disperse f(bem—this was done, and many were wounded, and, if | am not mistaken, some killed. At two o'clock, a litthe while af- terwards, we saw a great multitude of people coming over the platz, many with arms in their hands, which they had ob- tained by breaking open an arm store in the house where our friend Horrman lives. When they reached the Jerusalem:street, ibey cried out for barricade, and in an in- stant the horses were cut loose from a wagon ot wood which was passing by and upset; they then destroyed the booths which had been erected for the ensuing easter fair which had just commenced that morning... These were broken to pieces and thrown into the barricades; by continual addition it was in an hour’s time increased to tolerable strength.— These barricades were within a stone’s throw of our windows and we could see all their movements ; they next. barrica- ded the Ober and Niederwall-st., so that all access to the platz wasshut. Shortly after, a battalion of infantry arrived and took possession of the barricade at the Oberwall st.; they received, however, a galling fire from bebind the barrieade and rned it with equal fury. We could see the balls as they struck off the plaster from the house opposite us.

The President of the Uniled States transmit- \ted to both Houses of Cungress on Saturday, the following message : Te the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States : [ submit for the consideration of Congress, several communications received at the Depart- ment of State from Mr. Justo Sierra, com- missioner of Yucatan, and also a communica- ‘tion from the Governor of that State, repre- senting the condition of extreme suffering to which their country has been reduced by an insurrection of the Indians within its limits, and asking the aid of the United States. Thecommunications presentacase of human suffering and misery which cannot fail to excite the sympathies of all civilized nations. From sex, but put to death, indiscriminately, all who fall within their power. ‘The inhabitants, panic stricken and destitute of arms, are flyirg before their savage pursuers towards the coast; and their expulsion from their country, or their extermination, would seem tu be inevitable, un- less they can obtain assistance from abroad. In this condition they have, through their constituted authorities, implored the aid of this government to save them from destruction, offer. ing, in case this should be granted, to transfer the dominion and sovereignty of the Peninsu- la” to the United States. Similar appeals for aid and protection have been made to “the | murderers of their benefactors ; and so it would Spanish and the English governments.” | Whilst it is not my purpose to recommend | ‘the adoption of any measure, with a view to | the acquisition of the “dominion and sovereign- | ty” over Yucatan, yet, according to our estab. lished policy, we could not consent to a trans- fer of this dominion and sovereignty,” either | to Spain, Great Britain, or any other European power. In the langnage of President Monroe, in his message of December, 1823, ‘‘ we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety.” annual message of December, 1845, I declared that “near a quarter of a century ago, the principle was distinctly announced to the world, in the annual message of one of my predeces- sors, that the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have as- sumed and maintained, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization he died At eight Pclock I went 2 , found T bave considered it proper to commun the streets tgibuccabld for the bafiicades, and | the information egntained fijthe accompanyi every now and then my foot would slip in blood ; { correspondence, and I su to the wisdom 'diture since the administration of Mr. Monroe these and other sources of information, it ap- | | pears that the Indians of Yucatan are waging |a war of extermination against the white race.

F 4. Wasninoton, April 29, 1848. , In the Senate, the message having been read, Mr. Ca.noun rose to express his regret that the President should have taken other than the higher grounds of humanity. It was on such alone have rested ; and had it been so, Mr. C. would have been disposed to go far, very far in aid of such suggestions ; but, if his ear had not deceived him, the message had reaffirmed the gronnd assumed hy Mr. Monroe in his mes. sage of 1823, in relation to the non-interfer- ence of European Powers in the affairs of this Continent. It was, in short, assuming the broad principle that we should be bound to in- terference in all cases, no matter at what ex- pense of money or sacrifice of human life, when such interference occurred. Now, where was all this to end, and were the people of this country prepared for any such crusade? He conceived the suggestions at this time unneces- sary, and calculated to lead to dangerous re- sults. In the present condition of Europe no- thing was to be apprehended from interference on her part. She could no more seize Yuca. tan and hold it then we could. Who could say at that moment what the condition of England would be, or indeed was at the moment he was speaking? He thought, after the experience of the past, they should be more guarded. Al- ready had the country been involved in a cost of one hundred and twenty millions of dollars, to say nothing of the thousands of lives sacri- ficed. He asked why was Europe reeling to and fro at this very hour, if it were not from wasteful and reckless extravagance ? He glanc- ed briefly at the enormous increase of expen- when the Government was administered, ex- clusive of the public debt, at a cost not much | exceeding ten millions of dollars. While he admitted his willingness to respond to feelings of humanity, exposed as the citizens of Yuca- fan were to extermination by the acts of hordes of lawless and ignorant savages, he could but lament that the President had seen fit to in- _dulge in any remarks concerning foreign inter. ference. He expressed the opinion that the Yucatanese had been partially instrumental in bringing about the evils they were suffering under. ‘They bad extended to these ignorant and illiterate hordes a free participation in all the privileges enjoyed by themselves, treating them as equals; and what had been the result? Why, they bad wheeled round and become the be again in all like cases. MR. MANLY IN HALIFAX. Agreeable to appointment, the Whig candi- date for Governor, met his fellow-citizens of Halifax county, on Monday last, and gave them his views on the various exciting questions of the day. It was the first day of our Superior Court, the weather was propitious, no cloud dotted the broad expanse of Heaven, but the sun shone forth in all his splendour, and in every thing hetokened that a more favorable day could not have been*chosed. An unusually large number of persons came into court and to hear the speech of the Whig standard bearer. At noon the Court took a recess, and, there being about two hundred persons in the court- house, it was announced that Mr. Manly would by any Enropean power.” ‘This principle will apply with greatly increased force, should any European power attempt to establish any new colony in North America. In the exist- ing circumstances of the world, the present is deemed a proper occasion to reiterate and re. affirm the principle avowed by Mr. Monroe, and to state my cordial concurrence in its wis- dom and sound policy. ‘The reassertion of this principle, especially in reference to North Ame- rica, is at this cay but the promulgation of a policy which no European power should cher- ish the disposition to resist. Existing rights of every European nation should be respected ; but it is due alike to our safety and our interests that the efficient protection of our laws should be extended over our whole territorial limita, and that it should be distinctly announced to ‘the world, as our settled policy, that no future European colony or dominion shall, with our consent, be planted or established on any part of the American continent.” Our own security requires that the establish. ed policy thus announced shonld guide our con. duct, and this applies with great force to the | peninsula of Yucatan.

MANIFESTO OF GEN. TAYLOR. The New Orleans Picayune of Tuesday last, contains the following Letter from Gen. Tay- Lor to his brother-in-law, Capt. J. S. ALLIson, intended evidently as a Manifesto of his opinions on political matters, on which his partisans must advocate his claims for the Chief Magis- tracy of the Union. The General, it is appa- rent, desires to be relieved from all further im. portunity. Baron Roveg, April 22, 1848. Dear Sir: My opinions have recently been so often miscunceived and misrepresented, that I deem it due to myself, if not to my friends, to make a briet exposition of them upon the topies to which you bave called my attention. I have consented to the use of my name as a candidate forthe Presidency. I have frankly avowed my own distrust of my fitness for that high station; but having, at the solicitation of many of my countrymen, taken my position as a candidate, I do not feel at liberty to surrender that position until my friends manifest a wish that I should retire from it. I will then most gladly do so. I have no private purposes to accomplish, no party projects to build up, no enemies to punish—nothing to serve but my country. I have been very often addressed by letter, and my opinions have been asked upon almost every question that might occur to the writers as affecting the interests of their country or their party. I have not always responded to these inquiries. for various reasons. I confess, whilst I have great cardinal prin- ciples which will regulate my political life, I am not sufficiently familiar with all the minute | details of political legislation to give solemn pledges to exert my influence, if I were Presi- dent, to carry out this or defeat that measure. I have no concealment. I hold no opinion which | would not readily proclaim to my as- sembled countrymen ; but crude impressions upon matters of policy, which may be right to- course 5 that Congress—which alone possesses the war-making power—has never delared | | War ; that the people, afier the question has | | been fully and freely discussed before them, | | have declared through their Representatives in | | Congress, that the War was not brought on by | ted to acquire territory whic of indemnity which our Government is to pay ‘our citizens. We have already more territory | than we can occupy, and there are millions of acres of better land in the United States un- occupied, than any in New Mexico or Califor- i nia. Mr. Manly admitted the importance of _ possessing a port on the Pacific coast, but said ihe, why not buy it?) Why not pay Mexico the ‘value of it instead of forcing it from her? ‘This he thought was the proper mode to procure it, | and it would cost far, far less in the end, than | obtaining it by the method the President has ' adopted. | Various other questions, were ably discuss- }ed. Mr. Manly spoke in very complimentary terms of Halifax, the ancient borough, that gave birth to the Constitution of the State, and to some of the greatest men our State has ever produced. His encomium on Halifax was just and appropriate as it was chaste and beautiful. | Next came the admission of Santa Anna into Mexico “ by authority.” ‘The “ pass” was read, and the subject discussed in an able man. ner. . Then came the revenue question, the issuing of Treasury notes to pay the expenses of the War, the entailment of an enormous debt, and how, asked Mr, Manly, is this to be paid off? Not by raising the tariff, oh no, the Democratic party is opposed to the tariff of ’46, opposed to a high tariff as they call it, and will have no. thing but the tariif of ’42. It is plain this will not pay off the enormous debt, and direct taxa- tion must be resorted to. Well, in that case, what proportion would North-Carolina have to pay? Her taxes for State purposes amount to $80,000 and ber Share of the taxes to pay off day and wrong to-morrow, are, perhaps, not the best test of fitness for office. One who cannot be trusted without pledges cannot be confided in merely on account of them. I will proceed, however, now to respond to your inquiries. First.—I reiterate what I have often said— Tam a Whig, but not an ultra Whig. If elect- ed I would not be the mere President of a par- ty. I would endeavor to act independent of party domination. 1] should feel bound to ad. minister the Government untrammelled by party Second.—The veto power. The power giv- en by the constitution to the Executive to inter- pose his veto, is a high conservative power ; but in my opinion should never be exercised except in cases of clear violation of the consti- tution, or manifest haste and want of considera- tion by Congress. Indeed, I have thought that, for many years passed the known opinions and wishes of the Executive have exercised undue and injurious influence upon the legislative de- partment of the Government ; and for this cause I have thought our system was in danger of un- dergoing a great change from its true theory. The personal opinions of the individual who may happen to occupy the Executive chair, ought not to control the action af Congress upon questions of domestic policy ; nor ought his objections to be interposed where questions of constitutional power have been settled by the various depart- ments of Government and acquiesced in by the people. Third.—Upon the subject of the tariff, the currency, the improvement of our great high- ways, rivers, Jakes and harbos, the will of the people, as expressed through their Representa- lives in Congress, ought to be respected and carried ont by the Executive. Fourth.—The Mexican war. I sincerely re- joice at-the prospect of peace. My life has been devoted to arms, yet I look upon war at all times and under all circumstances as a na- tional calamity, to be avoided if compatible with national honor. ‘The princzples of our Govern. ment as well as its true policy are opposed to the subjugation of other nations and the dis. memberment of other countries by conquest.— this debt would be just seventy-five times that amount or six millions of dollars, and the man * In the language of the great Washington, eae FO ER " 4 ee - ne ae nh Raa a foitel ‘then pay 75, | 2 Kes Slt mee EZ : fought and sxhlp- | fen foe. | e &e my oF tions, written or ver unfree. written, are unauthotized a ie subjects re- ferred to by you; and any reports or publica. tees 4 from any or ng in any eseential particular from what is here I do not know that I shall again write epon the subject of national politics. T shall engage ee result, but forbear to stat it to say, that the Whig’ is now as st as it ' in no schemes, no combinations, no intrigues. It the American people have not confidence in me they ought not to give me their suffrages. If they do not, you know me well enough to be- lieve me when I declare I shall be content. I am too old a soldier to murmur against such high authority. Z. TAYLOR. To Capt. J. S. Atutson.

THe NECESSITY OF SAID Parer.—In all that portion of the Southern country between Richmond and New Orleans, not a single paper of the Presbyterian Church is published. The vast and important region intermediate, is emphatically “The South.” All will concede that it should be furnished with papers of its own. tially supplied. papers, destitute as they must be of local interest, can ne- ver become either proper organs for and with our Church- es, or proper advocates of our institutions ; and therefore cannot so interest the feelings of our people, as to secure paratively of our Church members can be induced to take them. Other sections of the country abound in religious papers—sustained because THEY ARE THEIR OWN. Other denominations, too, have theirs. Their zeal we honor, their example we would emulate. Duty seems, there- fore, to demand that the Presbyterian denomination in the South should have upon their own soil, their own pa- per, devoted to their own interests and adapted to their | own wants. | ' and the facilities atlorded by her Rail Roads, give her a | decided preference in this respect, in reference to the oth- ' er States included in the above mentioned field. Mill- | edgeville was designated by the Synod as the place of is- | Sue, it is presumed, among other reasons, because it is the | Capital and affords to an extent unsurpassed by any other i} | | place in the State, all the facilities, as well of publication as of communication with other portions of the country. III. Irs Cuaracrer.—As its name imports, it will be SourHeRN and PresBYTERIAN ; Southern in its designs and its spirit ; decidedly Presbyterian in its Principles— an exponent of our doctrines and order,a medium of com- | munication for all our Churches, an advocate of all our institutions. But while it is thus denominational in its character, it will be liberal in its views, expansive in its charity, wide in its embrance of the great interests of the Church of Christ, and our common country—will aim al- so at being rich in religious instruction and fegvid with the Christian spirit—adapted to family reading, not over- looking the lambs of the flock. In a word, its design will be “the edification of the Body of Christ,” in all things pertaining to life and godliness. IV. Its Size, Quatity, Terms, Epitor, &c.—It will | be issued weekly, on a super-royal sheet, as large as the nical execution, at THEEE DoLuars per unnum, ALWAYS IN ADVANCE. The Rev. WasuineTon Barrp has been so- licited and has consented to become its Editor. Of him it is not too much to say, that he is a sound and able di- tiring industry. He will be aided by others, but the sole responsibility will devolve upon him. V. CorRESPONDENTS AND AGENTS.—It is expected that is designed the paper shall circulate. ' be employed, to whom a liberal per centage will be al- lowed. In short, it is contemplated that the paper shall be an able, zealous, and efficient organ of the Southern Presbyterian Church. A. M.

R. Le Roy's Pills are a new medicine which has just appeared, and is fast taking the places of ail others of the same class. These pills are composed of many ingredients, but the two principal one are Sarsapa- | rilla and Wild Cherry, so united that they act together ; the one, through its admixture with other substanceg, pu- rifying and purging, while the other is strengthening the | system. Thus those pills are at the same time tonic and opening ; a desideratum Icng and eagerly sought for by medical men, but never before discovered. In other words they do the work of two medicines, and do it mech | better than any two we know of ; for they remove noth- ing from the system but the impurities; so that while they purge they strengthen ; and hence they cause no de- bilitation, and are followed by no re-action. Dr. Le‘ Roy’s Pills have a wonderful influence on the blood ; they not only purify without weakening it, but they remove all noxious particles from the chyle before its is converted im- to fluid, and thus make impure blood an utter impossibil- ity.

Heap high the golden corn ! No richer gift has Autumn poured From out her lavish horn ! Let other lands exulting glean The apple from the pine, . ~The oramge from its glossy green, The cluster from the vine. We better love the hardy gift Our rugged vales bestow, To cheer us when the storm shall drift Our harvest fields with snow. When spring came with flower and bud And grasses green and young, And merry Babiinks, in the wood, Like mad musician’s song, We dropped the seed o’er hill and plain Beneath the sun uf May ; And frightened from our sprouting grain The robber crows away. All through the long bright days of June, [ts leaves crew green and fair, And waved in her midsummer’s noon Its soft and yellow hair. And now, with Autumn's moonlight eyes Its harvest time has come, We pluck away the frosted leaves, And bear the treasure home. There, richer than the fabled gift Of golden showers of old, Fair hands the broken grain shall sift, And knead its mea! of gold. Let vapid idlers toll in silk Around their costly board ; Give us the bowl of corn and milk By homespun beauty poured. Where’s Sends up its smoky curls, the wide old kitchen hearth Who will not thank the kindly earth, And bless our corn-tield girls ? Then shaine on a! the proud and vain, Whose folly sauglis to scorn The blessings of the Yankee’s grain, His wealth of golden corn. Let earth behold her goodly root, Let mildew blight the rye, Give to the worm the orchard’s fruit, The wheattieid to the fly. y But let the good old crop adorn 5 The hils our fathers trod ; Still let us for his golden corn Send up our thanks ta God 1 AGRICULTURAL. SUMMERING MANURE, Notwithstanding all that has been said and written showing that fresh manure immediate. Jy applied to the land, or such as is preserved in tanks or under cover, or by a mixture with straw or earth, is at Jeast four times the value of that left in the barn-yard all summer expos- ed to sun and rain, wasting its richness in the air, and drenching its fertilizing salts away; yet many farmers still believe, or act upon the prin- ciple of belief, that manure is like cider, grow. ‘ing better with age ; and thus their dung is safe. ly kept in the yard till August or September, a great nuisance to all around, and a sad loss to the growing crops. We are well aware that rotted manure is considered indispensable for certain crops, and therefure many say they pre- fer to sustaia the loss of its rotting to the incon. venience of using it in an unfermented state.— Let those who thus think consider that when manure has become rotted it is then mere hu. mus or vegetable matter, such as decomposed leaves of trees, straw, corn stalks, muck, turf, peat, road and ditch scrapings, which may be had on every farma to answer the same purpose | amount of manual labor, and more-cotton pro- How many farmers let all | duced. a8 rotted manure. these substances go to waste, thus subjecting themselves to a double loss—a depreciation in the value of their manure, and a neglect of the vegetable matters on their premises and around them.

Cc. NECESSITY OF MANURIMG, It is obvious tbat manuring of a farm should only be limited hy the ability of the owner.— | On a plentiful supnly of manures, is depending the amount of his crops, and consequently the extent to which his labor is rewarded. ‘There is no expenditure on a farm, so safe as that for’ manure ; and the labor required to increase it, fs never labor Jost; at least, if directed by an ordinary share of agricultural knowledge and skill, Every source of supply should be made available ; nothing capable of fertilizing should beatost. The farmer who takes from his soil more than he returns to it, is surely impover- ishing it, and if be escapes such a calamity ni he leaves to his Successors a worn out ir w If he returns as much as he receives, Bisyfarm retains its original fertility only ; but the true farmer will scarecly be content with | : . > sys ibis : to increase its fertility, and the amount nd quality of the crop taken from the gigil should be the aim of the husbandman. ‘This , Ped his labor is lessencd, his profits ase great.

Manure may be a homely subject, but on its preparation and vse every thing is depending. Without it, the deep green of our pastures, the golden yellow of our corn. fields, and the fine beef and white loaf of our tables could not exist. ‘To the farm., er, manure must be the first thing and it must be the last thing; with it, he can do every thing ; without it, nothing.—N. C. Farmer. PHILO Y OF FARMING. Here is the secret of good farming. You cannot take from the land more than you restore to it, in some shape or other, without ruining it, and so destroying your capital. Different soils may require different modes of treatment and cropping, but in every variety of soil these are the golden rules to attend to: Drain until you find that the water that falls from heaven does not stagnate in the soil but runs through it and off freely. Turn up and till the land until your fvot sinks into a loose, powdery loam, that the sun and air readily pass through. Let no weed occupy the place where a useful plant could possibly grow. Collect every particle of manure thal you can, whether liquid or solid. Let nothing on the farm go to waste. Put in your crops in that course which experience has shown to lead to success in their growth, and to an enrichment and not impoverishment of the land. Give every plant room to spread its roots in the soil, and its leaves in the air.— Agri. cullurist. 2 a combination: of spriogs, which are. operated upon by a crankyand which produces the same effect on the water, as does the tail of the whale. The whole idea seems to be borrowed from the form and powers of the whale to travel through the water. It is steered by small rudders (cor- responding to the side fins on the fish.) ‘The small craft upon which it has been applied glided through the water at a rapid rate, and the inventor belicves that a vessel constricted on this principle may be made to cross the At- lantic from New York to Liverpool, in four or five days—a belief which we think will fail ever to be realized. Machinery that will ope. rate well in smooth water has altogether a dif. ferent foe to encounter in the ocean wave and tempest. AN ELASTIC WHEEL. The Scientific American has a plate to repre. sent a new kind of wheel for carriages, and the same principle can be applied to those for rail- roads. The nave is not situated in a fixed man. ner in the centre as usual, but is moveable in all directions in the plane of the wheel. It is supported and surrounded by eight semi-circu- | lar steel springs which at one end are fixed in it in suitable encasing, and at the other end in the circumference of an iron circle, which oc. cupies the middle part of the wheels. Those springs supersede the usual ones that are insert- ed between the body of the carriage and the axles. ‘Tae naves are made of cast iron and the other parts may be made of wrought iron. The advantages claimed for this kind of wheel is its elasticity in all directions giving it .| equality of motion, economy of tractive power, Sheep forsaking their Lambs.—Y oung ewes sometimes manifest a reluctance to give suck | to their offsprings, and the same is sometimes the case with elderly sheep that reared proge- ny for several seasons.

C., commur?. cates to the Laurenville Herald, the description of a Scraper now being employed in Mississip- ! pi, and which he represents to be the best in. strument for the culture of cotton, on account of the saving of labor, ever yet known or used. | The stock is made like the common ploughs of the country, with this exception, that it is much | | heavier, the root being 6 inches square at the , end where the Scraper is fastened and the oth. er parts in proportion. The Scraper is 9} inch- es wide and about 14 inches long and Jaid with steel on the edge, ground sharp and fastened to the stock with a bolt or screw. When proper- ly fixed, a good ploughman can shave all the grass and dirt fiom the cotton and pile it in the middle of the row without breaking the bed, and the cotton is left in a beautiful ridge about three inches wide which will enable a hand with a hoe to chop out at least one half more inaday. ‘The Scraper can be used in the se. cond and third working of cotton to good ad- vantage, Lut it must be recollected that as soon as the hoes have chopped out the grass that the | earth must be thrown back with some suitable plough always. The stock is made heavy to make it run steady and to prevent it from being thrown out of its course easily. ‘The Scraper is to be a substitute for the hoe and from experi- | ment it has been found that it will save a great The dimensions of thgp Scraper are : | _foot 6 inches square at the luwer end and 4} | feet long; beam 384 feet from point to shoulder in helve; from lower point of beam, cut to se. cure Scraper 9 inches on the right hand side and 10% onthe left. The right hand side to be cut one inch and a half, and the left hand only half an inch.

At the Jate Fair of the Mechanics’ Institute of St. Louis, Mo., held last week, among many other attractions, there was exhibited a model of Freligh’s Marine Mill, which excited no lit. |e attention. We have noticed this mill be- | | FRELIGH’S MA fore, but from what the St. Louis papers say | regarding it, there is something exceedingly original both in its conception and construction. It is constructed in all its adaptations toaccom. | modate its action toa floating foundation, how. | ever unsteady such a foundation may be, being hung and balanced upon the principle of the | Mariner’s Compass. The inventor is a prac: tical miller and he solicited a fair examination | of its merits at the Fair. The plan is an im. | proved mode of hanging the stones so as to ob. viate-any motion of the boat throwing them out | of working order, while the mill is kept indus- | triously working away upon the hull. Mr. Fre- ligh writes to us that the machinery for one of | _bis Marine Mills that will grind an entire freight | | of wheat while running between St. Louis and | New Orleans, additional to that of the machine. | ry of the steamboat, will not exceed thirty tons. | If it accomplishes this, it certainly is one of the | | most extraordinary inventions of the age. { z= © _ A Whale Propeller.—A Mr. J. Qeeder, of St. Louis has invented a kind of aquatic steam. /er, which has been tried on Chateau’s Pond, near that city, to the surprise of its citizetij%— | The invention consists in the application to the | stern of a boat, of a propeller shaped and fash. | him,” Deut. 9, 20. | consistent with the principles taught by ion and ease to passengers. It is also supposed to supersede the carriage spring in some measure, and it presents at least simplicity of construc. tion and an elegance ot shape. “Ihe nature of the elastic wheel is to depress the centre of gravity of the carriage according to the centre or axis of rotation giving it greater facility of _ motion and preventing vibratory movement, and thus affording greater security against over- throw from rough roads. Singular Effects of Altraction.—In the Ed- inburg Journal of Sciences, just published, we find a very interesting paper, by Dr. Hancock, on the motions that result merely from mixing a few drops of alcohol with a small vial of lau- rel oil, ‘To exhibit this singular phenomenon, which seems to bear some analogy with the planetary orbs, the drops of alcohol should be introduced at different intervals of time, A re- volving or circular motion instantly commences in the oit, carrying the alcoholic globules through a scries of mutual attractions and repulsions which will Jast for many days. The round bo- dies which seem to move with perfect freedom through the fluid, turn in a small eccentric curve at each extremity of their course, passing each other rapidly without touching. In the course of his experiments, Dr. Hancock observed par- ticles of the fluid to separate in large globular portions, these commenced a similar revolution, and smaller ones quitted their course and re- volved about the larger, while the latter still pursued their gyrations, after the manner of primary planets and their secondaries. TEMPERANCE. {For the Carolina Watchman.] To the Christian Stiller---No. 8. My Dear Friend :—Do you offer it as an extenuation of your business that the people desire ardent spirits and would have it from some one else if you did not make it? I fear this isnoreal extenuation. I recollect a case recorded in the Bible that it seems to me is very like yours.— I mean the case ef Aaron when he made the golden calf. The people desired it.— They besought him to make it. Nodoubt they could have gotten. others to make it | if he did not. You say the people—like | the Israelites about the idol—would have the liquor some where, and so it is no harm for you to make it. It is only grat- ifying their wish. Now let us see how Aaron and yourself will come out. He yielded to the people’s desire and made them an idol—you yield to their wishes and make an idol as completely destruc- tive to virtue and the true worship of God as his. More in number than the hosts of | Israel are led astray by liquor. In what. respect are you better in this business | than Aaron. If you are less censurable than he satisfy your mind in what par- ticular before you read any farther. Now | if you are as guilty as Aaron, was he_ guilty at all? “And Moses said unto, Aaron what did this people to thee, that | \thou hast brought so great a sin upon 99 9 them?” Ex. 22,21. “ And the Lord was very angry With Aaron to have destroyed But you say somebody else would do it if you did not. Might not Aaron have made this excuse? Was he the only man that could have done this? No doubt there were hundreds of others. Indeed this was so poor an ex- cuse that though disposed to defend him- self he never offered it, ‘“ others would do it if I did not!!’) And so might the mur. | derer—the highway robber and all other. sinners-say. And who would think it was | an excuse for them? I trust, dear friend, you will study this subject with eare. If my opinion is not Christ reject it. But if it is—and I hope you will carefully examine it by the word of God before you reject it—] hope you will act accordingly. The subject is not exhausted—volumes might be written up- it. But I have said enough to con- vince you, if any thing Ican say will con- vince you. If you wont be convinced, or if I have not the ability to convince you —in either case it would do no good to continue. I think it could be showed that seme other business would be as profita- ble in a temporal point of view as stilling. You have known a great many stillers, | | ioned like the tail of a whale. It consigts of |. I in this world? Bata christian should al. ways act upon moral prinelpies, or rather | upon christian pringiples. If I have said nothing that.carriés ¥ re argument, I beg you te jider_ this one passage of the word of God, “ Woe unto him that puttest the bottle to his neigh-. bor’s mouth.” Leaving you to reflect/up- on this; ‘and praying the good Spirit to di- rect you in the way of all trath, I now take my leave of you. Your most sincere friend, SIMON COLDWATER. Davie co., March 1848. Railways and their Early Opponents. The following paragraph, which we find inthe London Mining Journal, of Au- gust 7th, is so truth-like, that we give ita place, with the simple observation, that the same remarks are equally applicable at the present day. “When Jacquard, the inventor of the wonderful loom that bears his name, was arrested and carried to Paris, with his machine, Cornot, in the presence of Na- poleon, roughly said to him, ‘are you the man that pretends to do that impossibility, to tie a knot in a stretched string? His compatriots of Lyons, the impossibility being surmounted, broke his machines in 1806, and raised a statue to his memory in 1840. All those who are in advance of public opinion must bear ridicule or persecution. In 1825, the Quarterly Re- view thus ridiculed the notion of certain engineers, Talferd among the rest, that a railway engine could go 18 or 20 miles an hour: ‘ The gross exaggerations of the locomotive steam engine, or to speak Eng- lish, the steam carriage, may delude for a time, but must end in the mortification of those concerned. il = -_* We should as soon expect the people of Woolwich to suffer themselves to be fired off upon one of the Congreve’s ricochet rockets, as trust themselves to the mercy of such a machine, going at such a rate.’ In that year, the common belief was, that railw: ys were altogether delusions. The Liverpool and Manchester railway was oppose! in Parliament with every form of invective. One member, in 1825, declar- ed his opinion that a railway could not enter into successful competion with a ca- nal. Even with the best locomotive en- gine, the average rate would be 34 miles per hour, which was slower than the ca- nal conveyance.’ (ITansard, 2d_ series, vol. iv. p. 853) Another assertion, which Mr. Huskisson was obliged to meet doubt- fully and apologetically, was, ‘that there were two or three canals, which were suf- ficient for every purpose of commerce in the districts through which the railway was to pass. Let us be just to what we have been accustomed to decry as the dark ages. Let us be tolerant to those who imprisoned Galileo and rewarded Columbus with chains. If there be a re- ality in any discovery—a true thing, and not a sham—if there be strength, or utili- ty, or beauty in any work of mind—it will live and fructify, whatever critics, or ora- tors, or even kings, may do to crush it.— And so it is with railways. On the 15th September, 1830, the first passenger line —the Liverpool and Manchester railway —was opened. The conveyance of pas- sengers appears originally to have been an inferior consideration to the convey- ance of goods; and the directors modest- ly anticipated that one-half of the passen- ger travelling by coaches between the two towns might venture on the railway. In the first year after the opening, there were conveyed 445,000 passengers ; in the year ending Ist July, 1845, the passengers so conveyed amounted to 897,000. On the 24th April, 1847, there has been a total expended on the railways of the United Kingdom of £78,000,000 sterling ; and in the last week the aggregate receipts upon these railways was £160,000, being a to- tal exceeding £8,000,000 per annum, for the conveyance of passengers and goods.” FASHIONS FOR 1848!

We el not pretend to give even a nopsis of the Hedin of the Grand Division, inasm as we are promised by bur worthy Grand Scribe with a detailed Account in time for our next paper, but ve cannot refrain noticing some of the eading features attendant upon the as- embling of that hody. The Grand Division met at 11 o'clock. thé 27th, and after making all the pre- iminary arrangements for the Session, ad- ourned to 3 o'clock in the afternoon; at hich hour it again convened, proceeded o the initiation of new members, when epresentatives from Salem. Greensboro’, Salisbury and Mocksville Divisions were mresented, initiated and duly invested with the Regalia of the Grand Division. The mittees, and afterthe transaction of some other business, adjourned to 7} o'clock. At the appointed hour the members of the Grand Division again repaired to the Masonic Hall, which had been kindly granted by that Fraternity forthe holding of its sessions, and which is also used by Greensborough Division for holding its meetings, where they found a large num- ber ot the latier assembled, for the pur- pose of organizing and proceeding to the Presbyterian Church, to hear an Address from Bro. Alexander M. Gorman, the in- telligent and efhicient Grand N. Carolina. Soon the Hall was crowd- ed, and the procession formed, about 70 in number, who with lighted candles in hand and clothed in full Regalia, proceed- ed to the Church; and as the members entered, a large and splendid choir of La- dies and Gentlemen in the gallery broke forth in most mellifluous strains with en- rapturing Temperance Ode. This over, ate prayer by ourRev. Brother Prot. Blake. of Greensborough Female College; and after the singing of another beautiful Ode, Brother Bluke rose and -introduced the Orator to the audience, which we hazard mothing in saying, was the largest, most seen assetnbled in North Carolina, to hear a Temperance Address. Brother Gorman had been selected by reensborough Division some time previ- pusly, to sustain and defend the Order on his occasion, and most handsomely and pecasion and the audience.

PROGRESS OF MANUFACTURES IN THE SOUTH. | We continue to note the onward progress of |. : | industry in the sunny South. ‘Tbe planters of | cotton ought to see the necessity of cherishing | manufactures amongst us. ‘The startling re- vulutions in Europe have, for the present at least, deprived the cotton planters of the ad. vantage of the continental market ; and should Great Britain become entangled with crum- bling thrones and rising republics, she may not require much, if any cotton, until oil be poured over the troubled waters, The time is not far off when the planters of | cotton may be compelled to look chiefly to home | markets for the sale of their staple, and yet a | great many of them oppose protection to this great and important branch of business of the United States! Had the Tariff of 1842 been permitted to stand, the manufacturers of cotton in this country would be consuming this year six or seven hundred thousand bales. We doubt if they will now use more than four hun. dred and fifiy thousand. With fair protection, it must be clear to all practical men of business, that in a few years the domestic consumption of the raw material would reach one million of | bales. That cotton would be now two cents _a pound higher, if the Tariff of 1842 had not | been revoked, there is no question. | There is evidently an interest awakening on The increase of cotton factories is bringing the sub- | ject home to the minds of the people. We no. | tice that two cotton factories are about to be established in Louisville, Kentucky, to be work- ed by white laborers. Louisville is becoming quite a considerable manufacturing city. If the | this subject not altogether discernable. } | _ back country was a Jittle more accessible by rail roads, she would have a greater increase. | We hope, however, to see not only Louisville, | but all Kentucky, more energetically at work to increase her industrial pursuits. All parties | in Kentucky are disposed to protect and fuster , domestic manufactures. The Georgia manufactures are becoming so important to her general industry, that to know the character of the State we must know some. thing of her manufactures. We learn fromthe Savannah Republican, that the U. S. Govern. /ment has made a contract with the Milledge- ville factory for the delivery of three hundred thousand yards of cotton osnaburgs. ‘This con- tract was made after a comparison, by a Gov- -ernment Agent in New-York, of the Milledge- ‘ville with other like fabrics from other manu- factories. This is not only a high compliment to the work done in Milledgeville, but affords unquestionable proof of the remark so frequent- ly made, that for obvious reasons manfacturing in cotton can be done cheaper in Georgia than in the Northern States. South Carolina, too, where once manufac. tures were so odious, they are springing up in /many parts of the State. In this respect, this | State has undergone a remarkable change.— The Carolinian, published at Columbus, says : We were much gratified to find, on a recent A. Meetze, in connexion with several other gentlemen, are erecting a cotton factory at | Laurel Falls, near that healthy village. The site is an eligible one, and the project is bound /to succeed. ‘They expect to start operations in | October or early in November. We shall give all the particulars of the enterpise as it advan- | ces towards completion. | To shew the usefulness of manufactures to _all pursuits, we copy, in conclusion, the fullow- ing account of the Planters’ Factory in the State of Georgia from the Macon Messenger: | | In our hurried notice, last week, of some of the productions of the above establishment, we | omitted to give a few statistics which had been | kindly furnished at our request. The factory is located on the Ockmulgee river, in Butts county, at a place well known as the Seven Islands, about 35 miles from Macon. It is pro- pelled by water, of which there is an abundant supply at all seasons. As ils name indicates, it was erected by a number of planters, wbo were anxious to encourage diversity of labor at the South. The building is five stories high, visit to Lexington, that our friend Maj. Henry | runs 2500 spindles and 52 looms, aud consumes from 800 to 1000. pounds of cotton per day, be- ing about 700 bales a year. Until recently, the Company confined their attention exclusive- ly to the production of yarns, which were readi- ly sold at advantageous prices in the Northern markets. They have -ecently been using what is termed the self-acting mule, a highly im- proved piece of machinery, which spins thread of a very superior quality and fineness. They have also in complete operation all the machinery necessary fur carding, spinning and weavin® wool, and their kerseys are equal to any we have ever seen, At present, the Company employ about 80 hands, connected with about 25 families. They find no difficulty in procuring operatives and generally make their own selections from the most industrious and worthy applicants: the wages paid are from six to ten dollars per month for full hands. ‘To give some idea of the ad- vantages of an establishment like the above in creating a home market, we have the following approximate estimate of a few of the items con- sumed by the operatives and their families, viz: 12,000 Ibs. flour, per year. 8,600 bushels corn meal, ee 6,000 Ibs. meat, & 1,200 bushels potatoes, ce 1,800 lbs. lard, x 800 Ibs. butter, “ 1,200 poultry, 6 2,400 Ibs. coffee, “ 2,400 Ibs. sugar, ce Most of the families raise their own vegeta- bles and we are informed are rapidly gathering around them the comforts of life. A single case was related to us by a gentleman connected with the establishment, which goes far to illus- trate the beneficial effects of , manufactories upon an important class of our white population who would otherwise be reduced to penury and idleness. A widow lady with ten children, re- sided in the vicinity ot the factury. By the death of her husband, she had been left per- fectly destitute of the means of support. She obtained employment from the Company and is now receiving for the services of six of her children the sum of thirty-fourdollars per month, besides the rent of a comfortable house! We have not a doubt that a judiciously organized system of manufactories wou!d do more for the poor white population of the Southern States than all the alms houses which could be estab- lished. What is true in the case of this poor widow lady is true to a considerable extent of many others. tained would secure thousands from the conse- uences of vice and infamy, and lead to the $ vrnation of habits of economy and _ industry which may result, as has repeatedly been the case at the north, in comfort, competency and even wealth. The very employment thus ob- In almost every community are found families similarly situated who are in various ways a tax upon the capital and charity of their more fortunate neighbors. Is it not infinitely bet- ter to furnish them employment, and make them producers instead of being mere consu- mers? ‘They dislike to work side by side with the negroes, and will not do it; but ifthey can find a pursuit in which servile labor is not employed, we venture to say, there is not a class of people on the face of the earth who would be more industrious or thrifiy than the one of which we speak : then why do not our planters generally imitate the example of the original proprietors of the above establishment ? They might not only employ their capital profi- tably, but would make valuable citizens out of a class of people who are now too often dri- ven by their very necessities to tamper with and corrupt our slave population. “INDEMNITY FOR THE PAST.” Paying fifteen millions for foreign territory for which we have no use, after spending one hundred millions in order to enforce the payment of three. “SECURITY FOR THE FUTURE.” Incorporating several Millions of Mexicans, Indians, and Mulattoes into the Union, either as ‘free and enlightened citizens ” of our Re- public, or as conquered subjects to be kept in awe by the presence of a standing army.

We had the pleasure this week of spending an evening with Mr. Jones, the Assistant Engineer of the Richmond and Danville Railroad, who paid a flying visit to our town, and we must say that we are gratified at the flattering account he gives of the eligibility of the routes surveyed. Mr. Jones, who had formed a favorable opinion of the route before he surveyed it, thinks the road can be constructed for a sum not exceeding his original estimate, if not for much less. The greatest diffi- culties the Engineers have yet encounter- ed was crossing the ravines and creeks in the neighborhood of Charlotte C. H., but even these presented noserious obstacles. Two routes, and in many places three, have been surveyed, but the Engineers can form no idea which will be adopted ; and for obvious reasons, if they knew, they ought not to divulge it. We are hap- py to.learn there is so much anxiety on the subject that many freeholders have expressed a willingness to relinquish all damages to which they might be entitled by reason of the road’s passing through their lands, as an inducement to get it near them; and this consideration, we doubt not, will materially influence the Directory in fixing the route. The Engineers are at present in the neighborhood of Whiteville, in Halifax county ; and may he expected here about the latter part of May. The first portion of the Road will probably be ready for contractors by the middle of July. We may mention in connection with this subject, and we take great pleasure in announcing the fact, that the friends of the road in Patrick county have at last commenced the work of subscription to the stock, of the company. When we last heard from that county, about sixty shares had been taken, and we have but little doubt the number will be doubled, if not quadrupled, in a very shorttime. This is a good beginning for Patrick. In Halifax, too, the road is gaining strength. Many in that county were op- posed to the principle involved in the char- ter of the company; but this they very properly regard now as a question no longer in issue, and therefore they are willing to lend a helping hand in build- ing up a work in which they are so di- rectly and vitally interested. an evi- dence of this feeling, it may bé"Mention- ed that at April Court (Monday last) a meeting was held, in which some of the most prominent and influential citizens of county participated, and a resolution was adopted inviting Mr. Tunstall to address the people at their May Court on the sub- ject of the Railroad. We believe the cit- izens of that county have not been pro- perly understood in regard to their feel- ings on this subject, and we confidently believe that Halifax will yet give a liber- al subscription to this great work of de- liberance to the Roarfke country. On the the whole, we may congratulate the friends of the work on ifs present auspi- cious prospects.—Danville Register. VOLUNTEERS VS. REGULARS. LOCO FOCO CUNNING. Some time ago, there was a considera- ble effort made by the ‘ Democratic” prints, as well as hy some Loco Foco scrib- blers from Mexio, to array the Volunteers of our Army against the Regulars. In- vigious comparisons were made, and the redoubtable Gen. Gideon J. Pillow, or his friend “ Veritas,” in that bolster-ing effu- sion, intimated that the “ Martinets” of the regular army, ought hereafter to hide their diminished heads—for Gideon, and Veritas, and Gen. Pillow, and a few oth- er Volunteers, had conquered all creation, and nearly or quite made the Sun to stand | still and look on. Without attempting to decide who have fought best, all have fought well, we may presume to say that if our brave Volunteers have carried the palm, it might be, not because they have had the advantage of superior and better taught Officers—not because they have been disciplined by superior drill—but be- cause they went to the battle field actu- ated by more patriotic impulses ; because they left their homes and their fire-sides, to fight the battles of ther own country, bearing their own flag, and supporting their own Government. For who can fight like native Americans, prosecuting their rights, real or fancied, under the broad American Banner? Who can march up to danger and death more fear- lessly, than proud and brave American freemen, with their own glorious stars and stripes streaming over them ? cannot and will not detract from the hon- ors so gloriously won by our volunteers. They have fought well—covered them- selves all over with glory. And if the great Gideon was not satisfied to be cov-« ered all over, but sought to steal away glory from the Regulars, that it might be a little more thick on himself and bis com- mand—and jf, as the pet familiars of the President, and the Loco Focos generally, a few months ago asserted the Volun- teers did throw the Regulars into the shade, in those glorious fights before Mex- co, we ask forthe couse. Why wasitthat undisciplined troops, just called into ser- vice, should bear the honors from the Reg- ular army? We can find but one an- swer, and that has been intimated above. We | erican citizens—while the rank and file of the Regulars are mostly of foreign birth. They are discontented with the tyranny of their own native lands, and come to our shores redolent with liberty and equality, ready to labor, and fight, and die for freedom. ‘So say the Loco Focos. They come to America, Freemen, double distilled, highly concentrated, in full panoply, bursting fromthe brain of Tyranny—and stand on our own soil free, emancipated, disenthralled by the irresis- tible genius—&c. Sosay the Loco Focos —particularly just before an election. Well, impelled by their love of freedom and fighting. they join our army, swell its ranks and are led to the wars by as brave and skilful Officers as the world ever saw.—We should suppose that un- | der these cireumstances, these fresh born freemen, fighting in freedom’s great cause would be most accomplished and desper- | ate warriors. How does it happen that the Volunteers have shamed themso? As the Loco Focos said a few months ago— why, forsooth, there are more Volunteers | than Regulars, and an election coming on. must be counted. Well, but the rank and | file ofthe Army proper, are mostly foreign- | ers, and as there are many thousands of | such. in our Cities, they must be counted | too. Now, we venture to foretell, that | from this time until after our Fall elec-' tions, the Regular army and Foreigners | generally, will be pronounced by Loco) Foco authority to be the best and bravest | citizens we have. But after that, the old | story will be repeated, that they cannot) hold a candle to our brave Volunteers. | [Raleigh Register. YUCATAN. | Interesting Debate in the U. 8. Senate. We copy fromthe Baltimore Sun the | following sketch of the interesting debate | which took place in the United States | Senate on Thursday : | Mr. Hannegan, chairman of the Com- | mittee on Foreign Relations, reported a | bill to enable the President to take tem. | porary military occupation of Yucatan— | to employ the army and navy of the Uni. | ted States for that purpose, and to repress | the incursions of the savages against the white population of that country—to fur- | nish the white population with arms, am- | munition, &c., to repel the attacks of the ; Indians—and to authorize the raising of | additional volunteers, equal in number, to | replace the troops withdrawn from other | portions of the service, for this service in | Yucatan. | The bill was twice read, and Mr. Han- | negan moved that it be made the special | order for to-mprrow. | Mr. Calhoun thought the day named | too early, more time should be given for reflection. He proposed Monday next. Mr. Hannegan said it was important that this bill should be acted upon with- | out delay. } ! | A day or an hour might be | the people of Yucatan. He had seen let- the Gulf, stating that the whole coast was darkened with women and children, with- out food or clothing. | Mr. Cass also was in favor of prompt ‘action. Never,a better occasion present- 'ed for them to vindicate before the world the character ofethe Nation. Mr. Foote expressed his strongest sur- | prise at the effort to procrastinate action on this bill. ‘The Senate, he said, appear- ‘ed to be divided into two classes. One were for speedy action—the other, small he hoped, for delaying action at least for a limited time. He regretted that there should be any hesitation on a question in- volving the honor of the nation, and he regretted the source from which that op- | position came. The Senator from South Carolina, when the message was received, _ had, in an exulting manner, denounced | the positions assumed by the message, and /made a somewhat extended speech, most unkind toward the administration-—a /speech he had no reason to suppose he now regretted. He was then prepared to make a speech, already circulated exten- ted to do much injury and create much | prejudice in the public mind, but now, | when the whole subject had been several days before them, was not prepared to act. Why did he now desire the bill to be postponed, when on the day the message was sent in he was prepared to rise and | pronounce a most uncalled for and vindic- tive phillippic against the President on the 5 : . | productive of calamitous consequences to | ters from Lieut. Murray Mason, now in| results had taught the-President a lesson=s this war, which the Senator said had cost the country 30,000 lives—a on, in a great measure, by the of the annexation of Texas—a measure’! neces- sary for the protection of the South and of Southern interests—for which the” ad- ministration, of which the Senator was thena prominent member, was responsible. In regard to the movement of the army from Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande, he had believed that Gen. ‘Taylor would, with some of Jackson’s in- dependence of character, assume the re- sponsibility of hisown acts. And he now had it from an authentic source, that Gen. Taylor, scorning to skulk had assumed such responsibility. The Senator from South Carolina, be must be permitted to tell him, occupied a peculiar position before the country, on subjects of this kind. The Senater, he believed, had once been in favor of a-Naz tional Bank, and many other measares toe whieh it was not necessary to refer. I¢ had been boasted by some of his friends, _ too, that he was the author of the system of internal improvements. He said these things with no unkind feelings, but to shew that he should be more cireamspect in his declarations, where he is himself responsible, toa great extent, for the con- sequences to which he refers. : The great issues of the campaign of 1840 were furnished by that Senator.— We had placed a man in the presidential chair upon those issues, and who had suc« cessfully and gloriously carried out the great principles for which the Senator had contended: Yet who had ever heard him commend the Administration. He | had sometimes acted with them, but he had generally been among the first to give the Administration a thrust under the fifth rib. Why had-it been, he would ask the Se- nator? Had it been that the Senator had not girded on his armor in defence of the administration—an administration which has secured upon the pages of history a name more glorious than even any ad- ministration which had preceded it—one of the wisest, so far as its measures were concerned, ever known in this country? Why was he seen surrounded, after these attacks upon the administration, by high- minded and honorable Senators of the other side, with their warm congratula- tions! He hoped he would do himself justice before the close of this debate, and take the lead in support of this bill. Mr. Calhoun denied that he had oppos- ed any measure of the Administration which he deemed right, those only of any Administration did he support. It had been agreed on all hands, Mr. Polk inelu- ded, that the annexation of Texas was cause for war on the part of Mexico. He denied that the present war necessarily grew out of it, and contended that it might have been avoided, annexation notwith- | standing. He took his seat in this body with reluctance, and with a sincere de- |sire to give the Administration of Mr. Polk a fair support. He had endeavored to perform his duty faithfully, and if he had failed, it was a question to be settled with his own conscience. Mr. Hale said that he had been charge? ed with beihg~a fanatic for declaiming that the war had grown out of the annex- ation of Texas. He was happy to have ‘it in his power, when ever again so charg- ed, to call the Senator from Mississippi to the stand, and declare upon the responsi- bility of his Senatorial oath, that this war grew out of the annexation of Texas, a measure necessary for the protection of the South. It did not comé this time from fanatics, but from one ofthe faithful, one of the sachems of the tribe. Mr. Cass said the question was merely whether the bill should’ be considered to- |morrow or ata later day. He thought i that if.any thing was to be done, it should _be done speedily. The delay on the part | of the administration had been occasion- ;ed by their efforts to obtain correct and | official information. That information | had now been obtained, and was before them. By delay they would be able to | obtain nothing further. Then why delay? | He had regretted the remarks made by the distinguished Senator from South Car- sively through the country, and calcula- | olina, in regard to what he had charac- terized this wretched war. Mr. Calhoun. This rash and precipi- tate war. Mr. Cass. He begged the Senator's pardon, but his expression had been so quoted here this morning, without contra- diction, by the Senator from Mississippi. Mr. Calhoun. | did not consider it ne- cessary to contradict what that Senator same subject. There was not a single | Senator, he believed, who had not made up his mind on the subject.

Citizens, let us have that courage. Let us free ourselves from an ill-understood physical idea, from all narrow local passions.

It has been said that you were not yet ripe for a republic. It has been said that the workmen would be the cause of danger to the republic. ‘Those who have said so calumniated you ; they did not know you; you are, on the contrary, its strength, its viriue, and its safety. “Rally, then, at our call round society ; for under the republic society and the regular gov. ernment are the property of all. Once again, let no cry be heard but that of * Vive la Repub. lique,’ and in uttering that ery you may add, ‘Vive la travail, vive la propriete ; vive l’ordre qui grandit tout.’ You have a greater right than any one to utter that cry, for the republic belongs to you. You have conquered it from royalty, and will defend it from anarchy. It will really be the republic of the people and of the workmen of Paris.” ‘ The deputation withdrew amid cries of * Vi- ve la Republique.” The workmen demanded of the delegates that the reply of M.

EN. TAYLOR AND THE LOCOS. It is really amusing tosee the maneuv- ng of the Locofocos in regard to the etter of Gen. Taylor defining his posi- on. Asona former memorable occa- on, they are resorting tothe very mean- st expedients, to break the force and yeaken the effort of this letter upon the blic. The General, they say, is not the uthor of it, but it must have been com- is approval. To prove this, we notice hat they are citing the assertion of the Jashville Whig, made some time since, at Gen. Taylor would before long de- ne his position, and which would satisfy very body of his politics. The Locofocos, we suppose, will not are deny the General's ability to write uch a letter; if they dv, we do not see hy they should be so anxious to fix the uthorship on some one else. Probably, hey are determined, because Old Zack is man of good plain common sense, to lay the game they did in the year 1840, pward the great and good Harrison. He ever, if Locofocoism told the truth, wrote letter, without its being dictated or first bmitted to a committee for inspection. yt it will be now as it was then. An verwhelming defeat awaits them, and hey see and feel it, notwithstanding all eir efforts to lie down the Warrior and atriot. It seems that the lesson taught hem eight years ago, when they thought 1g, y this sort of mean conduct, to defeat en. Elarrison, does not suffice, but that e very lowest ends and means are to be sorted to again to effect their object. No matter what may be the consequen- s of such a course. so the party can se- re the loaves and fishes of office, is all ey care for. tion nor the character of the country yails nothing. pdy of the people are not disposed, and em in such despicable efforts to destroy he of the most accomplished Generals of e age. D> Mr. Manly, addressed the People Beaufort county, on the 8th inst., and e learn from the Washington Whig that andard affected to see, seems to have pt alittle brighter. The Whig, se@only per, we believe, that expressed disap- g account of the speech. We think ere is no doubt of his election by a large jority. MR. N. P. TRIST. This gentleman, says the Richmond Times, bugh never a minister plenipotentiary, has questionably proved himself an envoy extra. Binary ; and when he arrived at New Or. et, “ Have you seen Mr. Trist?” The ed. s of the Delta were favored witb a visit by p recalled diplomatist, and they say “‘ we were ased to find him a most agreeable, pleasant d impressive gentleman, with no appearance that bitterness and quickness of temper, ich some persons attribute to him.” r. Trist appears to have held a conversa. of some political interest with the editor of ’ Bulletin, who thus describes it: Mexico—Tue Treaty—Tue Army, ETc.—We with great pleasure in a conversation with Mr. t, chat he thinks there is little or no doubt of the ification of the treaty, on the part of the Mexican Con- Such we learn, is the decided opinion of all the t informed, most intelligent and most influential Mex- ns at the capital.

Legislation is recommended to exempt from this protec- tion the dishonest and fraudulent debtor. | | | €F The Richmond Whig, in speaking of | Gen.

The peculiarity of the circum. | stances under which the General was brought forward as a candidate, AUTHORIZzEs and almost | comPELs him to take his ground ; and for one | we are satisfied with it; as indeed we are with the admirable sentiments—and especially those relative to Executive Power and influence— embodied in his letter.” €F The “ New York Express ” which has hitherto been very violently opposed to Gen. | | - it, and that" them's his sentiments.” © There’s the pith of the matter, andethere’s what, in re- ality, so much annoys the Union. The editor of the Union was e great admirer of Gen. Jack- son, in his latter days. He will acknowledge, we presume, that Gen. Taylor can write as well as Gen. Jackson ever did!” MEETING AT NEW ORLEANS. There was an immense meeting held at New Orleans, on the 11th inst. to sym- pathise with France. The Rev. J. N. Maf- fit, S. S. Prentiss, and others were ora- tors. A SPICY LETTER. Gen. Scott’s letter to the Secretary of War, under date of February 24, 1848, is a very sharp affair. Afier reviewing the course of the Secretary since the General was ordered to Mexico, the letter concludes thus : The three arrested officers, and he who had endeavored to enforce a necessary discipline against them, are all to be placed together be- fore the same court. The innocent and the guilty, the accused and the accuser, the judge and his prisoners, are dealt with alike: Most impartial justice! But there is a discrimina- tion with a vengeance! While the parties are on trial—if the appealer is to be tried at all, which seems doubttul—two are restored to their corps—one of them with his brevet rank—and I am deprived of my command! ‘There can be but one step more in the same direction :— throw the rules and articles of war in the fire, and Jeave all ranks in the army free to engage in denunciations and a general scramble for | precedence, authority and executive favors, The | pronunciamento on the part of my factious ju- niors, is most triumphant. My recall—under the circumstances, a se- vere punishment before trial—but to be follow. ed by a trial here, that may run into the au- tumn—and on matters 1 am but partially per- mitted to know by the Department and my ac. cusers is very ingeniously placed on two grounds ;—1. My own request meaning that of | June 4, (quoted above, and there was no other before the Department) which had been pre- viously (July 12) acknowledged and rebuking.- ly declined, 2. The arrest of Brevet Major Gen. Worth, for writing to the Department ‘under the pretext, and form of an appeal,’* an open letter to be sent through me, in which I was grossly and falsely accused of ‘malice’ and ‘conduct unbecoming an officer and gen. tleman,’ in the matter of the general order No 349, on the subject of puffing letters, for the newspapers at home. On that second point, the letter from the De. partment of January 13, is move than ingenious : it is elaborate, subtle and profound—a_provi- sional dissertation, with the rare merit of teach- ing principles until now wholly nknawn to mil- itary codes ahd treaties, ant ofcourse to all soldiers, however great their experience in the field. a I have not in this place, time to do more than hint at the fata! consequences of the nov- el doctrine in question. According to the De- partment any factious junior may, at his plea. | sure, in the midst of the enemy—using “ the pretext and form of an appeal” against his com. mander, insult and outrage him to the greatest extent—though he be the General. in-Chief. and charged with the conduct of the most critical operations ; and that commander may not ar- rest the incipient mutineer, until he shall have | first laid down bis own authority and submitted himself to a trial, or wait at least, until a dis. tant period of leisure for a judicial examination for the appeal! And this is precisely the case under consideration. eaverness to condemn me, could not take time to learn ofthe experienced, that the General. in-Chief, who once submits to an outrage, from a junior, must lay his account to suffer the like i | i : | Tayzor, seeing the old hero’s last letter says : | “Thus the Whigs now have before them, in | their National Convention, the two most dis. | tinguished and leading Generals of the Mexi- | /can war, viz: Scott and Taylor, and their long | well known and well beloved leader, Henry | Clay. Our own personal preferences, our | | wishes, our hopes, are too well known to need | any reiteration of them. But it is gratifying to. feel, now, that we cannot well go amiss as to | principles in the Convention; there is to be no leap in the dark, or play of blind man’s | buffthere. To that Convention, then, we com. | / mit ourselves, with the conviction that they will do what is for the best, and that having done it, | the people will carry out their proposals.” { <r It is stated that the President has nomi. | nated Colonels Harney and Riley to the Senate | | | |as Brigadier Generals. Why is it that the President has never sent in the name of Maj. Gen. Pillow for the action of the Senate?) ‘That General has for more than twelve months held his present commis- sion alone by Presidential appointment. Is Mr. Polk afraid to trust his own friends ? | | | GEN. PILLOW. In speaking of the Court of Inquiry in Mexi- co, the Mobile Tribune says :—* We observe that the question as to whether Gen. Pillow had | a single combat with a Mexican was put seve. | | ra! limes, and the invariable reply was that no } | | | | body saw that famous affair. So, we suspect, | history will leave it entirely out of its picture, or place it among the things apochryphal.” | _ The Alexandria Gazette takes a humorous | and appropriate view of the extreme disturb. | ance of equanimity exhibited by the Washing. | | ton Union since | | | the appearance of Gen Tay- | lor’s letter to Mr. Allison.—Rich. Times. | | “Tt being now asrertained (says the Gazette) that neither Gen, ‘Vaylor nor Mr. Clay is ac. | ceptable to the Union newspaper, as the Whig | candidate for President, we beg leave to pro- | pose that the Whig Convention about to assem- | ble at Philadelphia, should, previous to their ac- lion, appoint a committee to wait upon the edi- _tor of that journal, and enquire who will suit (him! As it is of importance that he should be | satisfied and gratified, and as he seems to take so much interest in the matter, as business pe- | culiarly of his concern, and in which he has a | right to meddle, we trust that our suggestion | will not be overlooked !” And in regard to the authorship of the Alli- son letter, the Gazette thus assists the perplex. _ities of the official paper : “ The Union argues that Gen. Taylor did not write the Alligon letter. He must have had it | prepared for him says tbe Union. Well, now, | that was a very plain, straight-forward Whig | | | But the!

Disease has been more | letter, and we don’t see any reason why the old | been behind the curtain, admit the legal fiction from all the vicious under him—at least down to a rank that may be supposed without influ. ence in high quarters, beyond the army. But this would not be the whole mischief to the public service. Even the great mass of the spirited, intell rent, and well effected among his brothers in arms, would soon reduce some commander to utter imbecility, by holding him in just scorn and contempt for his recreancy to himself and country. And are discipline and efficiency of no value in the field ? But it was not my request of June 4, nor re- port No. 30, (of July 25) so largely quoted from above; nor yet the appeal of one pronun.- ctado that has at length brought down upon me | the visitation so clearly predicted. ‘That appeal no doubt had its merits—considering it came from an erratic brother-—a deserter from the other extreme—-who, having first made his peace with the true faith, was bound to signalize apos- tacy by acceptable denunciations of one—from whom, up to Vera Cruz, he had professed, (and not withont cause,) the highest obligations. (It was there he learned from me that I was doomed at Washington and straitway the apos. tate began to seek through a quarrel, the means of turning that knowledve to his own benefit.) No. There was (recently) still another ele. ment associated in the work kept as far as prac- ticable out of the letter of recall—an influence proceeding from the other arrested General— who is quite willing that it should generally be understood, (and who shall vainsay his signifi. cant acquiescence 7) that all rewards and pun- ishments, in this army, were from the first, to follow his recommendations. This, the more powerful of the pronunciados against No 349, well knew, at the time, as I soon knew, that he was Justiy obnoxious—not only to the anim. adversions of that order, but to other censures of a much graver character. In respect to this General, the letter of re- worthy of more than a.‘ hasty’ notice, that some of my specifications of his misconduct are hard- ly consistent with ‘your (my) official reports and communications.’ Seemingly, this isa most just rebuke. But, waiting for the trials. ] will here briefly state that unfortunately, I followed that General’s own reports, written and oral—that my confidence, lent him in advance, had been but very slightly that up to that time, from our entrance into this city, | had been at the desk, shut out from per- sonal intercourse with my brother officers— and that it was not till after that confinement that facts, conduct and motives began to pour in upon me. A word as to the 5th article of war. I can truly say that, in this and other communications, I have not designed the slightest disrespect to the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Na- vy of the United States. No doubt he, like my- self and all others, may fall into mistakes as to that all acts of the Secretary are the acts of the The Department, in its | have offered no wWiltiton’ of the War Department, although that function. arty is not in the remuneration of the above mentioned article. “8 Closing my correspondence with the Depart. ment until afier the approaching trial, I have the honor to remain, respectfully, Your most ob’dt. servant, WINFIELD SCOTT. To honorable Secretary @ War, Washington, D. C. * In the specification against Gen. Worth, it is said that the outrage against Gen. Scott was committed “ under the pretext and form of an appeal.””— Note added. PROGRESS OF TEMPERANCE. Tayxorsvitte, N. C., May 1, 1848. Messrs. Editors: Ata late meeting of the friends of Temperance in the county of Alexander at the Court- house in Taylorsville, to consult “and consider the pro- priety of forming a county Temperance Society. Joseph M. Bogle was appointed Chairman, and A. C. McIntosh, Secretary. On motion, two persons were appointed to take the names of those present who wished to become members of a County Temperance Society—who reported some- thing over fifty names, as desirous to become members. On motion, Resolved, That we do hereby constitute ourselves a Temperance Society, to be known by the name of the Alexander County Temperance Society ; whose object it shall be by prudent means to do all that we can to discourage the making, trafficking in, or us- ing spirituous liquors as a beverage. The Society proceeded to adopt a pledge, and elect their officers for the present year: A. C. McINTOSH, Esgq., was chosen President, SION HARRINGTON, Esq., Vice Presid’t. ALFRED CARSON, Sec’y. A committee was appointed to draft a Constitution and Bye-Laws for the government of the Society and to report to the next meeting. At the next meeting which has just taken place, a large -concourse of persons were in attendance, and were ably addressed by the Rev. Mr. Tillet of the Methodist, and by the Rev. Mr. Smith of the Baptist Church, on the subject of Temperance. The Society adopted the Con- stitution and Bye-Laws—received 53 additional mem- bers—requested you to give this notice an insertion ; the 4th of July next, when addresses may be expected from some of the ablest advocates of the Temperance Reformation, that can be obtained. It may be proper to add, Messrs. Editors, that Alex- ander County was lately formed from portions of Iredell, Wilkes and Caldwell counties, of which Taylorsville is the county site ; and altho’ not free from the scourge of intemperance it is at least not much to the discredit of its cityzens that only one licensed dram-shop exists in the county. E. RAIL ROAD MEETING. Agreeably to previous notice, a portion of the citizens of Stokes County without distinction of party, met at Germanton on the 10th instant, Dr. Wm. Withers was appointed Chairman, and Constantine L. Banner, Secretary. The Chairman having explained the object of the meeting, upon motion, it was resolved that he appoint twenty delegates to meet the convention in Salisbury, the 6th of June, next. Whereupon, the Chairman appointed the fol- lowing persons, viz: Peter W. Hairston, John J. Martin, John Banner, John W. Bitting, Al- exander King, Dr. G. F. Wilson, H. A. Lem- ly, Isaac S. Gibson, W. A. Lash, J. M. Cov. ington, Francis Fries, C. L. Banner, J. G. Lash, Dr. F. H. Shuman, F. C. Meinung, Jobn M. Stafford, Andrew Gamble, Juhn Hastin, Edward Belo and John Henley. Upon motion, the Chairman was added to the number. It was further resolved, that the editors of the Greensboro’ Patriot, and Carolina Watch. man be requested to publish the proceedings of this meeting. WM. WITHERS, Ch’n. C. L. Banner. Sec’y.

She died fully trusting in that Saviour who had been the guide of her youth. Adorned as she was by the spirit of Christ, her death is deeply mourned by all her acquaintances, who mingle their sympathies with the grief of her husband, and weep over her two bereaved children.

When the tator thought his pupils could show off pretty. well, he declared there should be an ex- | hibition, and he taught Jane a few solos secretly that she might shine over her ri- vals, arfd overpower all those that had ‘set pieces” to perform. Poor Jane was far gone in love—she was mesmerized-— to the grief of the parent and real friends. who knew nothing of the Illinois singing- master. It was arranged that at the next quarterly meeting the skill of the musi- cians should be tested. The day of trial caine, and a big barn in the neighborhood was filled below and above to overflow- ing. Fasole and Jane were seated in | front of the preachers, the chotr arranged below on the benches — | the “set piece,” it was with a sound like | the rushing of many waters, and poor Jane notwithstanding the whispered sssuran- ces of the master, began to feel her cou- rage oozing out, aS Woman's courage is -aptto do just when it is most wanted.

There he es amit “ahr Fei phe fem astonished—petfitied ; his jaw fallen, his nose pinched in, his eyes sunken and hol- low, and fixed in wild gaze on the dim distance whence issued the potent sound, while poor Jane’s facinated optics gazed nowhere but on him. But before note could be taken of their condition, the cho- rus must once more join in the last trium- phant burst, for the new auxiliary had inspired them like a heavenly visitant, and they could not attend tosublunary things. They finished in a perfect blaze of glory, the unknown voice sounding far above all others, and carrying its part as inde- pendently as Mr. Fasole himself could have done. “ What is the matter with the singing- master?” “Has he got a fit?” “Is he dying ?” was whispered through the crowd as soon as the meeting was dismissed.— “ Bring water—whiskey—a fan—oh good- ness: what is to be done ?” “Let me come to him,” said a powerful voice just at hand ; and as the crowd open- ed, a tall masculine woman; of no very prepossessing exterior, made her way to the fainting Orpheus. “ Jedediah !” she exclaimed, giving a’ stout lift to the drooping bead ; “ Jedediah! don’t you know your own Polly Ann ?” It was Mrs. Fasole—a very promising scholar whom the unhappy teacher had /married at the scene of former labors, somewhere in the interior of Illinois, ho- | ping to find her a true help-mate in the professional line.

The world judges differently we | know, since it makes one offence punish- i able by law, while the other is consider- ed, in certain circles, rather a joke than otherwise. But the singing-master and his fearful spouse disappeared, and those ‘who had not joined the class exulted ; while, as far as publicdemonstration went, we could not see but the singing at meet- ings fell back to nearly the old mark, un- der the auspices of old deacon Ingalls, who for many years had been troubled with a polypus in his nose.

A meeting was held a few days since at Pittsburg, to express the public senti- ment in relation to African colonization sand the newly established Republic in Liberia. The Lon. Walter Forward and lowing resolutions were adopted ; Resolved, That the establishment of an independent republic in Western Africa ought to be regarded as a memorable | epoch in the history of christian civiliza- | | tlon. | Resolved, That the past influences of the Colony of Liberia have been suchas to justify the hope that, by the progress of such influences, the slave trade of Af. | ‘rica and the barbarities connected with | it may be overthrown. Resolved, That the peace and order With which the affairs of Liberia have been conducted, and especially the mode- ration and regularity with which the peo- ple have lately reorganized their Govern- ment and become independent, are such as to reflect the highest honor and credit on their race, and affords promise of con- tinued stability to their republic. Resolved, That, while we sympatize with all the oppressed nations struggling for free institutions, our past and present relations with the African race demand | especial efforts for the encouragement of | the Liberia Democrat Government. Resolved, That the increasing number | of emigraets, who seek a passage to Li- | _beria, call for increased and continued contributions to the colinization Treasury. | Resolved, That the unexampled success of the Colonizing enterprise, under a_be- nevolent Providence, has been such as | should stimulate the pious, the humane, _and philanthropic colonizationists to re- doubled effort ; and it is sincerely to be’ | hoped that a cause so important to hu- | /manity may continue in public favor. | The silent progress of this most inter- esting experiment of self-government at- : “tracts comparitively but little notice amid | the stirring events which now fill all Eu- | rope and the world with their din. It is: perhaps better that slowly and in silence | _the process of African Colonization and | of republican self-government in Africa | should go on. The growth of sound and | well-domesticated institutions in Liberia wiil be the more sure, the more healthy, and the better matured by such gradual advances as will allow each infusion from time to time into the original stock to ber . . . | _come wel! assimilated both with the na-| ture of the new country and with the so. | cial and political elements of the new re- ' public. | others of the same class.

There has been for many years a strong interest felt in Maryland in be- half of this remarkable enterprise, as her own policy in establishing a colony at Cape Palmas shows, and as the flourish- ing success of that settlement abundantly justifies.— Balt. Amer. PROSPECTUS OF THE SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIAN. Tut Committee appointed by the Synod of Georgia at its late meeting in Milledgeville, to issue a Prospectus and take other 'neasures preliminary to the publication of a paper devoted to the doctrines and order of the Pres- byterian Church, respectfully submit to the public, 1. THE NECESSITY OF SAID Parper.—In all that portion of the Southern country between Richmond and New Orleans, not a single paper of the Presbyterian Church is published. The vast and important region intermediate, is emphatically “ The South.” All will concede that it should be furnished with papers of itsown. No friend of the South would wish to see it left destitute or even par- tially supplied. That supply is now partial, for distant papers, destitute as they must be of local interest, can ne- ver become either proper organs for and with our Church- es, or proper advocates of our institutions ; and therefore cannot so interest the feelings of our people, as to secure among them a general circulation. Hence it is, few com- paratively of our Church members can be induced to take them. Other sections of the country abound in religious papers—sustained because TREY ARE THEIR OWN. Other denominations, too, have theirs. Their zeal we honor, their example we would emulate. Duty seems, there- fore, to detnand that the Presbyterian denomination in the South should have upon their own soil, their own pa- per, devoted to their own interests and adapted to their own wants, . If. Irs Location.—The central position of Georgia and the facilities afforded by her Rail Roads, give her a decided preference in this respect, in reference to the oth- er States included in the above mentioned field. Mill- edgeville was designated by the Synod as the place of is- sue, it is presumed, among other reasons, because it is the Capital and affords to an extent unsurpassed by any other place in the State, all the facilities, as well of publication as of communication with other portions of the country. III. Irs Cuanacrer.—As its name imports, it will be SourHern and PResBYTERIAN ; Southern in its designs and its spirit ; decidedly Presbyterian in its Principles— an exponent of ourdoctrines and order,a medium of com- munication for all our Churches, an advocate of all our institutions. But while it is thus denominational in its character, it will be liberal in its views, expansive in its charity, wide in its embrance of the great interests of the Church of Christ, and our common country—will aim al- so at being rich in religious instruction and fervid with the Christian spirit—adapted to family reading, not over- looking the lambs of the flock. Ina word, its design will be “the edification of the Body of Christ,” in all things pertaining to life and godliness. IV. Its Size, Quatitry, Terms, Eprror, &c.—It will be issued weekly, on a super-royal sheet, as large as the late Charleston Observer, with fair type and good mecha- nical execution, at T'HEEE DoLuaRs per unnum, ALWAYS IN ADVANCE. The Rev. WasuineTon Barrp has been so- licited and has consented to become its Editor. Of him it is not too much to say, that he is a sound and able di- vine, a good scholar, a successful writer, and a man of un- tiring industry. He will be aided by others, but the sole responsibility will devolve upon him. V. CorRESPONDENTS AND AGENTS —It is expected that correspondents will be secured in each city and in every Presbytery throughout the region of country in which it is designed the paper shall circulate. Agents also will be employed, tv whom a liberal per centage will be al- lowed. In short, it is contemplated that the paper shall be an able, zealous, and efficient organ of the Sauthern Presbyterian Church. A. M. NISBET, OTIS CHILDS, Committee J. W.

Dr. Le Roy’s Pills have a wonderful influence on the blood ; they not only purify without weakening it, but they remove all noxious particles from the chyle before its is converted in- to fluid, and thus make impure blood an utter impossibil- ity. As there is no debilitation,so there is no nausea or medicines, which never strains or tortures the digestive functions, but causes them to work in a perfectly natural manner ; and hence persons taking them do uot become pale and emaciated, but the contrary ; for while it is the property of the Sarsaparilla, united as it is with other in- gredients, to remove all that is impure, it is equally the property of the Wild Cherry to retain all that is natural and sound ; and hence a robust state of health is the cer- tain result of their united operations.

Scott has left Mexico for New York — Court of Inquiry adjourned and now silting in New Orleans—Probable ratification of the Treaty. From the N. O. Picayune, May 8. The United States steamer New Or- pans arrived on Sunday from Vera Cruz, aving sniled thence on the 3d inst. General Scott and suite left the city of exico on the 22d ult., and arrived at era Cruzon the 30th. He immediately barked on the brig St. Petersburg for New York. undera salute from Fort Con- pption. He was waited upon by the mmander of the fleet and received a alute from the flag ship Cumberland.— n Monday, the Ist inst., the St. Peters- rg was towed to sea by the propeller hompson. In passing the store ship Re- f and frigate @umberland their rigging s manned and three cheers given the d hero. On thé 3d inst., the General Kchanged visits with Com. Perry and as saluted by the flag ship Cumberland. Among the passengers on the New Or- owson, Gen. Cushing and staff, Colonel elknap, Col. Childs, Col. Duncan, Col. jithers, and a number of officers. So desperate at one time was thought e chance of bringing together a quorum f Congress, that the President had de- prmined to exclude the States of New ating the representation. sothat a small- r number may constitute a quorum.— Subsequent events led him to believe that quorum could be obtained, and the Pre- | idert re-considered his determination. : Special Correspondence of the Picayune.

The letter of your Queretaro correspon- : nt, of the 23d inst., which I send you, is Dil of interest, and some of his intorma- ) on is important. The extracts from the essage of Rosa to the members of Con. ress now at Queretaro, show that Pena Pena fully realizes the dangerous posi- on of the nationality of the country, bould the treaty not be ratified in season | and also shows an energetic determina- on to spare no effort to bring about peace. e passage in the conclusion of the mes- ge. | presume refers to the intention of e President to decree that, in’ conse- ence of the condition of Yucatagp, and ther States, arising from the war, a cer- in number (less than the constitutional orum. It is probable he will have to sort to this measure, as it is understood pre that several Congressmen, who are pt willing to oppose the treaty by a di- ct vote, intend to defeat it by breaking e quorum, whenever the question is put. The paragraph in the letter relative to e sermon of the Padre Sanchez is at this joment very important. It was supposed, atin consequence of the amendments bthe clauses of the treaty relating tothe ognition of the Mexican church, in the reitory proposed to be ceded to us, that e clergy would oppose the ratification the treaty, or at least require that the ause be re-inserted. Not so, however. pur correspondent is right in represent- y the Padre Sanchez as the organ of clergy, and a great majority of them ror the ratification of the treaty as it Ands.

Do ND LiBERTY Is SAFE.” ’l. Harrison. NEW SERIES, VOLUME V,—NUMBER 4. ~ { | ! SALISBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1848. = *. — Lieut. O'Sullivan I have already spoken /of as baving resigned his commission in the 3d Infantry and gone to Queretaro to join theenemy. He is not a legat deserter, | but all the dishonor of moral guilt will ever attach itself to his name. The Commssioners will not leave for Queretaro, until the 29th or 30th instant. In the meantime, the troops which are to form the escort are being prepared to pre- sent a fine appearance, in point of cloth- ing and equipments. The trial of Lieut. Hare, of the Penn- sylvania Regiment, for burglary and mur- der, was concluded, but the result was not known. <A nolle prosequi had been enter- ed in the case of Lieut. Mathison, of the same regiment, and he was remanded to prison. Lieut. Dutton’s trial was next to come on. Lieut. Tilden, 2d Infantry, has also been implicated by the State’s evi- dence, and arrested. The letter from Queretaro, referred to, gives an extract from a Government or- der, calling for a forced loan of $150,000 to $200,000, to pay the expenses of Mem- bers of Congress, and urging it on the ground of the shortness of time for rati- fying the treaty, which should be ratified by the 15th May, at the latest, to reach Washington by the 2d June. It concludes as follows :— | ‘His Excellency the President thinks that the salvation of the Republic impe- ratively demands the prompt meeting of Congress, and in order not to incur the _ terrible responsibility of losing the nation- ality of the country, the Executive will dictate extraordinary measures, which he never would have adopted if cireumstan.- ces were not so very dillicult and danger- ous.’ , The priest Sanchez, the clergy’s organ, In one of his sermons, at which the great- er part of the members of the Adminis- tration and of Congress were present, said: »Gentlemen: The only way tosave the Republic, and—in pardoning the in- juries you have received—to prove your- selves Christians, is to make peace.” Queretaro, April 25, 1848. Few of the Deputies are wanting fora ;quorum. Queretaro presents a most ani- mated aspect, and nothing is talked of but peace. ‘The most vehement party for war, is Without doubt, the army, but it has fallen so low in public estimation, and is so numerically weak that it is doubtful if they can get up a pronunciamento, as it was publicly rumored here within the last few days they would. c The Court of Inquiry.—The court of inquiry met at the St. Charles Hotel in this city this morning with closed doors and adjourned until to morrow morning, when various witnesses in this city will be examined.

O. Picayune. FROM CALIFORNIA. Intelligence from California as late as 20th March has been received. It con- firms what has been before stated, that Lieut. Llay wood, who was hemmed in by guerrillas at San Jose, has been relieved by the crew of the Cyane, after an engage. | ment in Which the Mexicans. suffered some loss. Lieut. Col. Burton, at San Jose, had received a reinforcement of one hundred and fifty men from Upper Cali- fornia from the New York regiment, and had marched upon San Antonio, taken the place, killing a number of the ene- my, and taking many prisoners; also re- taking the American officers and men that had been in confinement for months. Those released were Passed Midshipman | Duncan, of Ohio, and Midshipman War- ley, of South Carolina, with the men un- der them. Report says that Commodore Jones intends taking Tepec, by orders from our Government. Commander Sel- fridge has sailed for the United States. Yucatan.—lIn the Senate debate onthe bill to occupy Yucatan, Messrs. Clayton | and Crittenden said the bill. was in viola- tion of the treaty of peace with Mexico. This position was taken by us at the first blush of the affair, and we are glad to see that our views are sustained by such good authority. Mr. Clayton observed that during the armistice and the penden- cy of the treaty we could not take pos- session of any part of the territory of Mex- ico unless we obtained her consent. On the first communication of the fact that the white population of Yucatan was threatened with extermination, the hu- mane instincts of the people of the United States were for extending assistence in the mode suggested by the President or in any other mode, but a more calm consid- eration of the circumstances has modified those feelings. ‘To employ the Naval for- ces of the United States in removing such portions of the distressed people as are fleeing from massacre, fulfils every dic- tate of humanity, without committing us to unknown hazards of intervention. The simple proposition of humane interposition was mixed up in the President’s message with the inapplicable abstractions of Mr. Monroe, against European colonization ' ‘ on thiscontinent. This, with certain sug- gestions as tothe occupancy of Yucatan, gave such a color to the interference as brought it within the circle of those ob- jections that have been urged against fresh acquisitions of Mexican territory and additional warlike expenditures. If we were to take possession of Yucatan after the lapse of such a length of time as to have allowed our humanity to be- come cool and calculating, the impression of the whole civilized world would be in derogation of our claim to benevolent im- pulses. —Caharleston News, PLANK ROADS. The rapid increase of number, and great popularity, of this kind of Roads, at the North, will justify a frequent refer- ence to them, especially in a part of the country, like this, where the population is not sulliciently dense, nor the produce and wealth sufficiently abundant, to justify the construction of a great number of Rail Roads, We are indebted to the Hon. D. M. Barringer for a copy of a Report made to the Legislature of Wisconson by Philo White, Esq. (formerly of this State,) who, as Chairman of a Committee, has embo- died a great deal of information derived from Reports to the N, Y. Legislature by Engineers and others. From this, main- ly, we collect the following faets and views. Plank Roads have been in use in Rus- sia for many years. They were first in- troduced in America by Lord Sydenham, who had seen and appreciated them in Russia ; and who, when appointed Gov- ernor of Canada, determined to improve the highways there by introducing these Roads. Accordingly, less than ten years ago be commenced the first plank road in America. Assoon as its advantages were seen, Others were projected, until about fifteen of them, of about the aggregate length of 4 or 500 miles, are either finish- ed or in progress of construction, in Can- ada. In New York the first plank road char- ter was obtained in 1844, Since that time, 20 such roads have been or are be- ing constructed ; and a number of others are projected. The length of the whole being about 600 miles. On a single track road the plank is best 8 feet long. On a double track two sep- arate planks 8 feet wide each. All over 8 feet is found to be, for all practical pur- poses useless. Ordinarily one track, with a good side road for a turn out, is found to be sufficient. The plank should be 3 or 4 inches thick, and 8 to 15 inches wide. Two sleepers, 4 inches square, are had . lengthwise of the road, for an 8 feet track. i In some roads, however, sleepers are not | used, but the plank laid directly on the /earth. When used, they should be placed | so as to be under the wheels, and should ' be sunk in the ground so as to leave the | upper surface visible merely. They will | properly bedded. | Side ditches and cross culverts are in- dispensably necessary to the durability of i the road, by carrying off the water. The plank should belaid close, tight, and firm 'on the surface of the earth. The grading required is not often great; an ascent of | one foot in en being perfectly admissible on a plank road. | It is ascertained that a plank road will ‘last from seven to twelve years. The _wear of the first year is equal to that of the next seven; and the repairs of the ‘first year double those of any succeeding year until it is required to replank. Mr. Geddes, the engineer, made the fol- | lowing estimate of the average cost per _mile of the Salina Road : Sills, 4 by 4 inch scant- | ling, 14,080 ft | Plank, 8ft long, 4 inches thick 168,920ft | At $5 per M, 183,000ft $914 | Laying and grading, $1 pr rod, 320 | Engineering, superintendence, &c. at 10 per cent., 102 Gates and gate houses, 100 Sluices, bridges and contingencies, 63 Aggregate cost per mile, $1,500 This was the estimate ; the actual cost of the road. as we learn from the Super- intendent, was only $1,487 per mile. Persons who have travelled in England, say that there is not as good a road in that country as this Salina road. Two horse light wagons, with five or six passengers, travel from 8 to 10 miles } an hour with ease on plank roads. Two horses usually haul 4000 Ibs., or 16 bbls. of Flour, at a load. I not affected by good or bad weather.— The travel in winter is about as good as in summer. The distance travelled may be nearly double, with double the load, usual on our common roads. The tolls charged on the plank road at the North are from 1 to 2 cents per mile for each two horge vehicle. With such tolls the Salina road has paid dividends of 124 per cent. per annum, and accumula- ted a surplus fund. It will be seen at a glance what a change such roads would work in North Carolina. A four horse wagon, loaded with perhaps 3000 lIbs., now struggles a® long at the rate of 20 miles a day, with great wear and tear of wagon, and hors- es, and owner's patience. On a good plank road the load of the same team would be 6000 Ibs. the distance travelled (with more ease) probably 30 miles. A trip to and from Salisbury on such a road would occupy eight days. Now it takes twelve. Here would be a saving of four days to drivers and horses. The freight received for hauling a load of 3000 Ibs. is | now, at 75, $22 50. A load of 6000 lbs. | at the same rate, would produce $45.— But probably the price of hauling would be reduced one-half. In either event the difference would be saved. A _ load of Corn is now about 40 or 50 bushels. On such a road 80 or 100 bushels might be brought. Now, Corn is not worth haul- ing fromany great distance. With plank roads, it would be well worth hauling from even beyond Salisbury; and we might hope to see the produce of that rich section of our State meet the produce of Ohio in the Wilmongion market, and drive it back, freeing our agricultural State from the reproach of buying its food from Ohio.—Fuy.

Notwithstanding the pertinacity with which the supporters of the Polk administration have defended the order given to Gen. Taylor to march to the Rio Grande, on the false and flim- sy pretext, as admitted by themselves in various official acts, that that river, from its source to its mouth, constituted the true boundary between Texas and Mexico—an assumption, which, if it had been wel! founded, would not only have Justified the order in question, but rendered it in.peralive—they have nevertheless impliedly confessed that it was a great blunder, by en- deavoring to divide the responsibility of that act between the Administration and Gen. Tay- lor—which they would never have done had the act itself been a defensible one. For this purpose they seized, in the first place, upon an expression ia one of Gen. Taylor’s letters to the War Department, to the effect that the ar- my ought promptly to take its position at some eligible point on the Rio Grande, if the Presi-. dent had determined to insist, as a sine qua non, upon that river as the boundary. But this per- version of a suggestion fuunded upon a contin. gency over which the President alone had con. trol, into a positive recommendation, f& mani- festly so preposterous and absurd that it phas been abandoned except by a few of the more unscrupulous party hacks, who, like the witness that bad testified that a certain horse in dispute was fourteen feet, instead of fourteen hands high, refused, as he had once sworn to it, to retract his declaration. More recently, however, a convenient witness against General Taylor up- on this point was found in one Dr. Rimmell, of | Hinds county, Mississippi, who transmitted to | one of the representatives of that State in Con- gress a fabulous narrative of a conversation be- tween Gen. Taylor and himself, in which the General was made to assume the entire respon- sibility of bringing on the war with Mexico, by the movement of his army from the Neuces to the Rio Grande, and entirely to exculpate Mr. Polk from all censure in respect to it !— Even if the fact were so, we are ata loss to conceive why the friends of the Adininis- tration. should in one breath contend that all the territory between the Neuces and the Rio Grande belonged to Texas, and there. fore that the President was bound to take pos- session of it, while they assert in the next that he would not have discharged this high and so- lemn obligation had he not been prompted so to do by Gen. Taylor’s advice! ‘They betray, by this mode of argument, their own conviction, that the order to Gen. ‘Taylor to advance from Corpus Christi was unjustifiable in itself. Othe erwise they would place the President’s vindi- cation upon the impregnable ground of right and duty, instead of endeavoring to show that it was necessary that he should be instigated | to its perfurmance by Gen. Taylor’s recom. mendation. The New Orleans National throws addition- al light on the subject, by the publication of the following letter from Baton Rouge, (Gen. Tay- | lor’s place of residence,) written, it informs us, | | ‘by a gentleman acquainted with the facts,” | | (not improbably by Major Bliss.) It not only exonerajes Gen. Taylor from all agency in ad- } | vising that act of war, but shows that he would not even cross THE Nevuces until he had re- ‘ceived posilive instructions from the War De. | | partment : Baton Rocue, April 27, 1848. Editor of the Evening National: The Na- | tional Intelligencer of the 8th instant contains ‘the proceedings of the lower House of Con. | gress of the previous day, the spirit of which | is, to force the impression on the people of the country, that Gen. Taylor originated the order, and marched on to Matamoras by his own will ‘and judgment. ‘That any member of Congress | should be so unscrupulous or so ignorant of the 8 . | ‘true history of General ‘Taylor’s movements, i | a matter of surprise, as docaments already pub lished by the “ War Department ” give the out- lines, if not the particulars, relative (o the sub- ject, so clearly, that there need be no justifiable cause of misrepresentation. When Gen. Taylor was ordered to Mexico, he was instructed to take up a position NEAR the Rio Grande, Pornt IsaBeL BEING NAMED ing large discretionary powers, he preferred-to take a position on undeniahly American soil, rather than infringe upon disputed territory.— He therefore made his head quarters at Corpus Christi, a place that, beyond its being within the acknowledged boundary of ‘Texas, was in- convenient, and in no way favorable for an en- campment—still General Taylor prepared to suffer every evil incident to his situation, rather than in any way compromit his government.— After General ‘Taylor had been some time at Corpus Christi, Maj. Donaldson, the represen- tative of the United States government in Tex. as, came to Taylor’s camp fur the especial pur- pose of advising General Taylor not To cross THE Nevces, lest he should involve the gov- ernment in a war with Mexico; Gen. Taylor in the mean time having been informed by “ the government” that it wished him to confer with Maj. Donaldson. In the course of events, Maj. Donaldson left Gen. Taylor’seamp, and there came on from Washington letters to Gen. Tay- lor, informing bim that he should move part of his force west of the Neuces. Gen. ‘Taylor not wishing to divide his small command and the government having relieved him of the re. sponsibility of crossing the Nueces, he took his whole force over, as he could by so doing, readily obtain a good camping ground, and a | depot convenient for his military stores. The events that followed this movement on the part of Gen. Taylor are familiar to the world. ‘The above is a true statement of the preliminaries that led to the advance of our army on Mata- moras. The main facts can be gathered, as | have stated, from tha “ public documents ” al- ready published, containing the correspondence of Geo. Taylor with the war department, pre- vious to the battles of the 8th and 9th of May. Other facts stated can be proved if denied.— The most superficial observer must perceive, that Gen. Taylor has never been inconsistent, and that charges made against him, whether frivolous or of weight, when examined into, only cause his prudence and strict * obeying of or- ders” to be more and more admired. ‘The statement made in Congress that some ne Se ual from Mississippi had called on General Tay-, lor at Baton Rouge, and that in a long conver- sation he had with General Taylor, the Gene- ral admitted he took the responsibility of mov- ing across the Neuces, caused me to write you this letter. ‘I'he publication of an admitted pri- vate conversation that NEVER TOOK PLACE, it amounts to the committal of the most offensive falsehood.

Our readers are aware that the Legislatures of most of the non-slaveholding States have, within a few years past, enacted laws, the a- vowed design of which is to prevent the en- forcement of the constitutional provision, and of the law of Congress passed in conformity thereto, in regard to the recovery of abscond- ing slaves finding refuge within their respective limits. ‘Io this end all State officers are for- bidden, under heavy penalties, from acting un- der the law of Congress, either in arresting or imprisoning such slaves. And so difficult and | hazardous, indeed, has it become, to seize upon an absconding slave within the limits of one of we shall have, if the licentiousspirit now prevails be enduring sentiment of” country, no man cantell.

We rejoice in the spread of Wber- al principles as much as any mab. Bat we think we discover a disposition in some of the Locofoco leaders to go further than mere le apn a Sact, to involve the country ina European war. It took all the wisdom and popularity of Gen. Wash- ington to keep the country out of such a war in the first French revolution; and We now need some man at the head of the Government whe ean with like wis- dom steer the ship of State. Bat, whether we shall haye more wars or not, we have an account fo settle with the party in power for the one now sub- sisting, and for which this nation will have to pay an amount yet unknown, but cer- tainly enough to entail upon us aa im- mense national debt, which posterity will have to discharge at last. For this war, so unnecessary, and which wise states- manship might have guarded against, the party in power are responsible, and the time is near at hand when their responsi- bility is to be tested before the country. Let the Whigs but be firm and united, and we shall once more Witness a triumph like that of 1840.—Kentucky Observer. Delegates to the Convention.—The Whig Convention forthe 5th Congressional Dis- trict, at Hillsborough on the 4th instant, appointed Edwin G. Read, Esq., of Per- son county, Delegate to the National Convention, and Calvin H. Wiley, Esq., of Granville, Alternate. A resolution ex- pressing the opinion that General Taylor was the choice of the District, was rejec- ted, “there being some contrariety of opinion among the Delegates as to who is the first choice of the District, whether Gen. Taylor or Mr. Clay.” A _ resolution cheerfully to abide by the decision of the National Convention, and cordially to sup- port its nomination, was adopted unani- mously. The 8th Congressional District Conven. tion appointed a delegate from each coun- ty to the National Convention, viz: Ed- ward Stanly,of Beaufort ; R. M.G. Moote, of Hyde; Josiah Collins, of Washington; Charles Pettigrew, of Tyrrell; W. Hi. Washington, of Craven; J. W. Griswold, of Wayne; Wm. Foy, of Jones; JohnF. Jones, of Carteret ; Charles Edwards, of Greene ; F. B. Satterthwaite, of Pitt, and John C. Washington, of Lenoir. The Convention pledged itself to give a cordi- al support to the nominees of the Nation- al Convention.—Fay. Ob. SURRY. This being the regular week of Surry County Court, each party availed itself of those States, that, if he once crosses the border, an effort is now rarely made to recover him, | however boldly he may exhibit himself, and | however clear may be the proof of his identity. It has been thought proper, therefore, by some that there should be additional and more effi. cient legislation on the part of Congress, in or- der to render the constitutional provision some- thing more than a form of words ; and we are informed by the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun that a bill was reported to the Senate, on the 3d inst., from the Judiciary Committee, which gives to the owner of the fugitive slave the right to assert his claim be- fore any postmaster, collector, or any United States officer, and thereupon procure a warrant, | addressed to the United-States marsha], whose duty it is made to arrest the fugitive and deliver him up to the owner or his agent; and any person who may hinder the marshal or rescue or conceal the slave is subjected to a penalty. But we doubt whether this Jaw, even if it should pass, of which there is not much proba. bility, would render the constitutional provision a whit less a nullity than it isnow. The laws of the non-slaveholding States, by which both the constitution and the act of Congress passed in pursuance thereof have been nullified by the anti-nullifying Legislatures of the North, much more effectually than the tariff was by the or- dinance of the South Carolina Convention, are | unquestionably the embodiment and reflex of | the almost unanimous public sentiment of that region. And it is scarcely possible that men who have gone so far as to abrogate one jaw of Congress, by forbidding their own officers to | execute it, would fail to find means of prevent- ing the execution of a similar law by the offi- cers of the United States, should any one of them be courageous enough to altempt its en- forcement in the teeth of the universal opposi- tion of his neighbors. Whether the South ought not to devise and enforce some remedy for this outrage at once upon the Constitution and upon the rights fur the protection of which this provision of it was intended, is a question well worthy of grave consideration. But we are satisfied, that any new act of Congress on the subject will be as perfectly a dead letter as that already on the statute-book ; and we can see no wisdom in urging its adoption therefore, which, if ever effected at all, must lead to an exciting and irritating discussion—just such an one us we of the South have always professed to deprecate, and which the fanatics delight to engage in.

We, the Grand Jurors for jhe County of Sur- | ry, beg leave to submit the following views and | resolutions to the cilizens of this county and to the people of North Carolina, in relation to the improvement of the navigation of the Yadkin river, | gates : We are well satisfied that there is no scheme of internal improvement which would more benefit this section of the State, which at the | same tithe could be more easily accomplished. Natureg@as bestowed upon us many of her Llessings: a healthful climate, a fertile aol and a noble river running through our midst. | ‘These blessings we are unable fully to enjoy, on account of our remoteness from the seats of commerce. ‘Though we enjoy health, and make the greatest plenty of the necessaries of life, yet these are not half of the objects of life,— Now we have but few inducements to do more, If we raise more produce than is necessary for our own use, we cannot dispose of it to any ad. vantage, on account of the difficulty of getting tomarket. We havea fertile and productive soil, producing in the greatest abundance of corn, wheat, oats, &c., and all the agricultural staples. quality to those on the Dan and James rivers, us we have been informed by many who are ucquainted with those sections of country. We mizht raise double the quantity of these pro- ducts, if we had any inducement to do so. If we had the necessary facilities of carrying our produce to market, it would enlarge the value of our lands, make our people more industrious | and economical, increase our wealth, and in| every way advance our interests. While other sections of the country are ofien suffering for the necessaries of fife, we have the greatest plenty with us; but have no way of rendering them that assistance which they need, and which would also benefit us. Well, it may be asked, how can these desira- ble objects be augined 7 We answer, by the improvement of ithe navigation of the Yadkin river. ‘This ean easily be dune.

This has been a busy week for the Pol- iticians and office-seekers of Wake Coun- ty. Tuesday last was the day for the mee- ting of the County Loco Foco Convention, to nominate Candidates for the Legisla- ture, and was, so faras we can learn, another beautiful specinen of the unity of the “harmonious Democracy.” Not only bitter heartburnings and disappoint- ments resulted from the proceedings, but open and avowed disruption was the con- sequence—some of the “ faithful” actual- ly left the Convention, severely denoun- cing both the manner adopted for choos- ing Qandidates and the Cundidates thus chosen. After a good deal of jowering and confusion, it was finally agreed that a Committee of one from each Captainu’s District should be appointed, for the pur- pose of reporting Candidates to the meet- ing ; and the Committee, on being appoin- ted, retired. After being out some time, it returned and reported. George W.

Mexico. By the arrival last night of the schr. Athos, Capt. Worth, from Vera Cruz, we have Vera Cruz papers to the 4th instant, inclusive—one day later than previous dates received. The news is very scanty. We copy the following from the Free A- merican of the inst, : We received Gates from the city of Mexico last night two days later than those received by Monday’s mail. A letter in the Monitor, dated Quereta- ro, April 25, says that nine Deputies were still wanting to constitute a quorum. The same letter states that Sr. Rejon, before resigning his seat in the House left a writ- ten speech against peace, and it is proba- ble it will be published. Gen. Almonte arrived at Queretaro, to take his seat in the Senate. He is opposed to the Treaty, and the government look upon him with suspicion. The two Senators of the Dis- trict of Mexico had resigned their seats in Congress. The writer closes his letter saying that he would not be surprised to see the government, before ratifying the Treaty, dissolved, and each one take the road for nome. . The Monitor is of opinion that Congress would meet on the Ist inst. It is reported that Otero is the leader of the war party in the House of Repre- sentatives. Sr. Micheltorena, one of the Deputies, deserted his post and left Queretaro. El Progreso, of Queretaro, says, on the 27th inst., that Congress will not meet. The Free American of the 8rd has the following items: We learn from the Monitor of the 27th that the American commissioners were to leave on that day for Queretaro, with an escort of fifty men. A conducta left the city of Mexico on the 26th ult., with $1,050,000 for Vera Cruz. The duties on this sum amount to $115,000. The diligencia which arrived on the 27th ult., at Mexico from Puebla, was fol- lowed by robbers ; but two accompanied it, having fired on them, they took fright. A lettter to the Monitor, dated San Ju- an del Rio, April 23d. represents that part of the country in a deplorable condition, and infested with robbers, who commit depredations with impunity in the face of the authorities. In the course of one month several haciendas have been de- stroyed. From the National Intelligencer. IMPORTANT FROM YUCATAN.

Newson and Rufus Jones, as the colleagues of Mr. Sims. We are informed that neither of them were present, and, consequently, it is unknown whether they will accept or not. From all we can learn, sore indeed, is the disappointment of some who expected to come in for a share of the * loaves and | fishes,” while others declare they will not | go the ticket at all, at all. | On Wednesday no less than seven gen- | tlemen declared themselves before the | Grand Jury of the County Court, as Can. | | didates for the Sheriff, viz: Quinfon Utley, Calvin J.

We believe, in conclusion, that the Whigs have the best chance in Wake, that they ever have had to elect a Whig Representative to the Legislature. THE FIRE AT DETROIT. THREE HUNDRED BUILDINGS DE. STROYED !! The recent conflagration at Detroit, Michigan, is said to have consumed three hundred buildings, leaving from 300 to 400 families houseless, and occasioning a loss of from $200,000 to $300,000. The fire originated in the large store- house, between Bates and Randolph streets, unoccupied, by sparks from the propeller St. Joseph, which was firing up at the time, at about half past 10 o’clock, A. M., and continued te rage till 4 o’clock in the afternoon. The warehouse occupied by De Wolf, the old Bartlet market, the Steamboat Hotel, the Wales Hotel, &c., are all in ashes. Not a building is left standing below Jefferson Avenue, between Brush street and an alley between Bates & Randolph streets, except the warehouse of Brewster & Dudgeon, and Thompson’s Hotel ; and many are burned above Brush street. On Jefferson Avenue, every building on south side is destroyed, from the new Cam- pau block, which was partially‘destroyed, to the seeond building below the Congre- gational Church. All.between that and the river is in ashes. e The Whigs of Philadelphia ‘have published an animated circular, insjting the “ Young Whigs of the United States®?

It now appears, by the latest intelli- gence from Yucatan, contained in the Vera Cruz“ Arco Iris” of the 3d instant, that the negotiations above referred to | have resulted, at least, ina temporary set- tlementof the existing differences between the hostile races. The Spaniards, it seems, have conceded every point demanded by the Indians: yet, notwithstanding this, the letter indicates that some of the tribes are much dissatisfied with the treaty. Correspondence of the Vera Cruz Arco Iris. Camreacuy, April 25, 1848. “Dear Sir: Itake this opportunity of communicating to you the most important news: » The country becomes every day in a worse conilition; and if, in four months, foreign aid dues not arrive, Yucatan will not survive. The negotiations which have been concluded with the Chief Pat will only serve us momentarily. “The treaty runs in this wise: Pat, at the instance of his friends, signed articles highly degrad- ing to the whites and their Government. Pat is to be Governor during life, of the Indians. Don Barbachino is to be Gov- ernor of the whites during life. Twenty- five hundred guns, taken from the Indians previous to the war, are to be returned to Pat. All debts due by the Indians are to be remitted. The uncultivated lands which had been sold by the Government, shall become common property. shall not be any personal contribution in Yucatan. The rightof estola is abolished. “ The other Indian chiefs, however, de- ny that Pat had any right to make this treaty. His troops are abandoning him, and committing the worst sort of excess- es. This army, it is thought, will soon take Jzamel, which they were besieging. “J ought also to tell you that Pat says he has sent emissaries to other parts of the Republic of Mexico to promote insur- rection; and they having returned, he, from their statements, anticipated the greatest success.” [This seems to corroborate the intima- tion made previously in our columns, that the Indian insurrections in San Luis Po- tosi and Guadalajara were connected with the Yucatan revolt.—Arco Irts.] Inthe Senate on Wednesday, Mr. Han- | negan made animportant statement which is thus reported: Mr. Hannegan, at the close of Mr. Dix’s speech, rose and said, that since the com- mencement of the Senator’s remarks, he had received information, in addition to that which appeared in the Baltimore Sun There | it | of this morning. which, though froma pri- id hit that°a treaty | vaté sofirce, satis si ita trea had wee entered into betweefi the white might rendef Pos interference on our part unnecessary. For this reason he felt it to be his duty not to press the vote on the bill to-day, and.he would therefore move that it-be passed by informally. | Me. Dix expressed his regret that he had not sooner been apprised of this, as tte Senate would do him the justice to say, that he was not in the habit of in- flicting upon them a speech tnnecessarily. The Senate passed over the bill; and so we hope has been put to rest this new popularity-hunting humbug. WARM TESTIMONY OF AFFEC- TION TO GEN. SCOTT. The American Star, published in the City of Mexico, in its number of the 23rd ultimo, states that on the departure of the late commander-in chief, the warmest de- monstrations of affection were lavished on him by his kate companions in arms: Yetserday morning his friends—and their name is legion—assembled on the street fronting his dwelling, and. as he was too much overeome to receive them all, those who had not the happiness of shak- ing him by the hand, were glad to get a sight of him as he departed. Those who had not even the chance of seeing him, mounted their horses and followed him on the road, determined that he who had led them from victory td victory should: not leave the valley of his great operations without one adieu. Around his carriage —for he was too much exhausted by his late heavy labors, and the emotions of parting with his brothers in arms, to ride on horseback-~as it proceeded along the causeway to El Penon, the officers crowd- ed, and as fast as one could give the ‘God bless you, General,’ and fall back, his place was supplied by another, and so the adieus continued for a long way on the road. But the most affecting scene of all was when he left his house. The rifle guard was drawn up to receive him, and as he passed they presented arms to their be- loved commander for the last time ; they shed tears like children, and so affected was the old hero, that he could scarcely get into the carriage. GEN. SCOTT’S LAST NIGHT IN THE CAPITAL. A large assemblage of the friends of this noble and gallant soldier collected in front of his quarters the night before last, and bade him farewell by a grand sere- nade. Several very appropriate and touching airs were played, and at the close of the spirit-stirring sounds of * Hail to the Chief,’ the commanding form of the General was seen to come to the front of the balcony, from whence he bowed his thanks silently, it is true, but his feelings ‘of many a bounding and warm heart re- were given to General Scott as he disap- peared from the window. ‘GEN. SCOTT AT VERA CRUZ. following ! Arrival and Departure of Gen. Scott.— Sunday last, at 4 o’clock, p. m., the great- est excitement that was ever recorded in to street, made every one spring from their dwellings to the street, as if all were struck with the same thought. The en- had followed him in the whole course of his victories, were seen to kneel and bless the crowd to see their General. number of officers and citizens. three quarters of an hour after his arrival, he left in Captain Landum’s boat for the brig Petersburg, then in the harbor.

Indignation is aroused in the heart of ‘every American, and the nation, without | distinction of party, will reward true mer- ‘it, and show the administration that in- | trigue cannot succeed with an enlighten- /ed people. | Since the beginning of the war, our ,Government has committed acts so arbi- | trary, that they will ever be a disgrace to |the Republic. Party principles have gui- ded the Administration in the wrong paths, and while tbe people’s feelings are mostly | excited by the glorious achievements of our troops, the cabinet at Washington, in- stead of liberally rewarding those who are entitled to theirthanks, degrades them, /contrary to the will of the people; ang that, to suit the views of a few individuals, who seek the Presidency and fear the pop- ularity which some of the heroes of this war have gained.

Every body feels, to 4 greater or less degree, that times are hard, and there seems to be a foreboding that they are not yet at the hardest. What bas produ- ced these hard times! © To enswer this question, we must borrow the logic of our Democratic friends. To this they cer- tainly will not be unneighborly enough to object, although it may bring them to con- clusions which are unpalatable. Truth is truth,’and should be followed, ne mat ter to what goal it may carry us. Twelve months ago the country was said to be in a state of great prosperity. All our products commanded good prices, and the articles of bread stuffs, in partic- ular, were in great and profitable demand. Every thing went on swimmingly, and our democratie friends were rejoicing in the belief that this delightful state of af- fairs was solely attributable to the policy of one James K. Polk and his Democratie co-laborers. The predictions made by the Whigs when the policy of the Adminis- tration was broached were tauntingly pa- raded before the public, and the derision due to false prophets was heaped upon them without measure and without stint. In vain did the much derided Whigs re- monstrate and protest that the good times | that then existed had no more to do with | the Tariff of ’46 than with the man in the moon. Their assertion, that the famine in Europe had raised prices, was laughed to scorn, and the wailings of the starving} Irish were drowned by the loud huzzas of the triumphant Democracy over the won- der- working properties of the glorious Ta- 4 riff of ’46. Well, Time, which, in its operations, does not wait even upon the Tariff of ’46, passed on—another year has. gone, and what is the condition of affairs? Where are the golden dreams of wealth and pros- perity—where the joys, the hope, the elas- ticity of spirit? Gone, and in their place we have bankruptcy, gloom, pressure and universally low prices. Cotton, which, last year, brought 10} a 10#, is now a drug at 5 and 6 cents.—Corn Meal, which, in 1847, sold readily at $5 per bbl., can now be bought at $1 75 and $2 a bbl. Flour, which sold at $6 in ’47, can now be bought at from $4 to $5 Wheat, Corn. Oats, Ba- con, Lard and Sugar, have suffered a like reduction, and our Virginia staple of To- bacco, which, this time last year, ranged from $2 50 to $9 50 per 100 Ibs., now commands from $1 50 $6 to and $7. ‘These are the facts, and how are they to be ac- counted for? Why, certainly. the * Tariff of ’46” has produced thisrevulsion. This Tariff of 46 is a powerful machine, our democratic friends say, and they must ad- mit that it has been powerful for mischief. They cannot look beyond the “ Tariff of | It is trae, that ing to do his duty, he mentally responds. 46,” for it is still in force. Europe isconvulsed now with political | agitation, but it is not the less true, that | it was wasted by famine in 1847. If, therefore, the high prices last year were | not produced by the famine in Europe, | the low prices of this year are not produ- | ced by the revolutions which now con- | vulse that country.

It can hardly be doubted that the next Legislature will give the Commissioners the requisite power to make the subscription, supposing that they do not now possess it.—Wiul. Chron.

ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL WAR THREATENED. At the sitting of the Senate on Saturday last ays the National Intelligencer of the 16th inst., mation as to whether any orders had been giv- nto our naval forces to proceed to Yucatan, 0, to communicate such orders and correspond. nee thereon to the Senate. In pursuance of this call a Message was yes- erday sent to the Senate by President of the Tnited States, communicating copiee of certain Bespatches from the Navy Department to our Vaval Officers, of which we have not been able obtain copies. The following extract, how. Perry since the Senate has had the Yucatan uestion under debate, will show what designs re not only meditated, but are even about be- ng carried into execution, with the obvious ntent, without the consent of Congress, to in- olve this country in a fresh war, onthe ground pf a supposed continental duty or necessity on “While the United States are engaged ina | yar with Mexico, the actual presence, without | bur consent of the armed force of a neutral Pow- r within the territory of our enemy, co-opera- ing with any portion of the Mexican people in ot be permitted.

We are pained to learn, that Mr. Richard H. oler, senior editor of the Richmond Whig, xpired, yesterday morning, after a very painful Huess of a few days duration. Mr. Toler had been for many years, one of e most prominent conductors of the press in ‘irginia, He was remarkable forthe extreme woriousness with which he investigated and igested every subject of political interest; for he Judiciousness of the opinions he formed ; nd for the clearness, assiduity and general | bility with which he sustained them. Since is connection with the Whig, we have been olinually astonished at the evidences, furnish. d hy his articles, of the unvarying minuteness f his familiarity with every topic of the day.

Taylor has suffered himself to be brought out as a candi- date fur the Presidency. We could have de- sired that he had freely worn the laurels which he had so gloriously won, without calling forth the slighest remark to thwart his wishes or to wound his sensibility. But he has thrown him. self upon a tempestuous sea, without compass | or rudder, without knowledge to hold the helm, | Or experience to navigate the ship ; it becomes | our painful duty to protest against the effort.” Union. The country will doubtless appreciate the sincerity of the Union’s regret, that Gen. Tay. lor has suffered himself to be brought out as a candidate. It must not, fora moment, be sus- _pected that this regret proceeds from any ap- prehension of Gen. Taylor’s election. On the | contrary, it will be universally understood that the Union, as the organ of Mr. Pulk, has hith. _erto been the tenderest guardian of Gen.

The doors were closed to the public.— | The President assigned as a reason for this that | there were but two or three witnesses to be ex- | amined, and that no information of importance | would be elicited. Mr. A. Walker and Mr: | John Maginness, of the Delta, were the princi- pal witnesses. Mr. A. Walker, we understand, | affirmed that the interlineations and erasures in | the famous “ Leonidas” letter were made by himself. This was the gist of the whole mat. iter; and when the Court adjourned, General | Pillow appeared highly gratified.” \ | | We are at a loss to understand why General | Pillow should be gratified at Mr. Walker’s state- ment, that he made the interlineations. For it will be remembered that bis witness-in-chief, Major Burns, was so eager to acquit Gen. Pil- low, that he testified very strongly to making these interlineations himself. Differences in hand writing and the colour of ink he readily | explained, by his facility in chirography, amd his | Writing at different times. We suppose Gen. | Pillow’s satisfaction is induced by some mis- giving that the Court might not rely implicitly upon the accuracy of the Major’s recollection. Rich. Times.

RAMSOUR, all of Statesville. In Lenoir. on the 16th inst., by the Rev. Mr. Daniels, Dr. SAMUEL H. PENDLETON, of Davidsoa Coun- ty, to Miss ANNA V. BAKER. Died In the Western portion of this County, on Thursday night the 11th inst., Mr. MOSES GRAHAM, iff the 69th year of his age. This venerable man hes now closed a long life of un- | blemished integrity ; he died amid the sorrow and re- gret of a large number of friends and relations, and the long procession that attended his remains to their last resting place, (Third Creek Church,) not only attested the personal merit of his character, but it was also, more nearly in alliance with what is told of the clanish cus- tom of the “ old country,” where the relations of the deceased. in every degree of consanguity, make it a mat- ter of marked and affectionate interest to attend the bo- dy to the grave. The subject of this notice, was born—lived—died, and ' was buried, in the midst of that largeand respectable class | of citizens in our Weste rtion of N. Carolina, usually denominated Scotch I It may be fair on the pres- ent occasion to touch upon the origin of this term. From the reign of King James the I. of England, to the close of the Revolutionary War, in this country, this body of People have been closely connected with many events in history. When this Monarch left Scotland to | assume the Crown of England, he found the Irish por- tion of his subjects so rebellious to civil order and P Trot- estant Faith, that he induced a large number of ae substantial citizens of Scotland to migrate to the Nort of irelund, and setiled them upon sequestrated lands.— | His object was, in the first place, to array against Ro- vention, whether they select either of the above manism and P ney, the sternness of Pres- Resolved @f hat we appoint Joseph P. Cald-. - ‘took deep root, and that portion: of Treland is still Protestant and prreerinn. owe recent events announce the condition of the Catholie part. Afier the lapse of time, they commenced migrating to our country ; one stream landed at Charleston, S. C., and settled in some of the upptr counties, where. their descendants still exist in n : and. respectability.— We derive our North Carainfipioo principally from Pennsylvania, and the date of Weir removal to tifis State may be thrown as far back as 1750. In the shies they were aseterna body of Whigs as ever drew a trigger; and whether led ou by their minister with ‘“ girded loin,” (as was often tke case,) or by a selected Captain—they did their duty as truly and bravely as it was done by their forefathers, when they fought for the “ King and the auld Scottish glory.” Bat time and circumstances have softened the soldier into the citizen, and the Grames and kindred are now a peaceful body of Farmers, in a country far away from the scenes of their by-gone exploits. H On the 2d instant, in Chattooga Ceunty, Georgia, Mrs. SELINA E., wife of Rev.. T. C. Crawford, and daughter of Col. T. A. Allison, of Iredell County. How quickly does sorrow tread upon the heels of joy ! A few short months only intervened between ber bridal robes, and the vestments of death. Brief is the period since the deceased left a large circle of relatives and friends to reside among strangers. In her death, her husband has sustained-an irreparable loss ; her parents have been deprived of an affectionate daughter. But they mourn not alone. Of an amiable disposition and conciliating manners, she had gained the affection, and won the esteem of all that knew her, who will realize her worth by their loss. She began to droop from the moment of her arrival in the State of her adoption ; and though all that man could do was done by sympa- thizing friends, afte? a sojourn of about two months, the hand of death bore off his victim. But he ound her not unprepared. Her end was peace ; death was swal- lowed up in victory. One who was present when her now sainted spirit took its flight to the upper world, re- marks, “I feel that it was a privilege to be with her, te see what grace had done for her in preparing her for the last conflict ; and how that grace sustained and com- forted her on her dying pillow.” What bore her above the fear of death? That grace that carried her through the shades of the dark valley, is sufficient for all. The sun that sets to us, rises at the same time, with full orb- ed radiance to another world. [Com.

France was the first to recognize the indepen. dence of the American Republic, then young, weak, and still contested, but which, under the fruitful influence of the democratic principle, was destined in half a century to increase to the proportions of nearly a whole continent.— By the restrictive justice of providence, it has belonged to’ the American Republic to be the first to recognize the new French Republic, and so (o affix its signature to the certificate of birth gf French democracy in Europe.

The cir- cuinstances, that the generation by whom it.was accomplished, has almost wholly disappeared ; and that the generation, which succeeded that of the Revolution on the active stage. of life, is already in ment, heighten, instead of diminish- e interest of that great event. It is ture of written accounts, to repre- sent the subject-matter, in the most im- posing light, cither of praise or censure ; and the result is, that an event of feal magnitude in human history is never seen in all its grandeur and importance, until some time after its occurrence has elaps- ed.

It only needed this official confirmation to settle opinion as to the part which he has re- cently played, so much to the disadvan- i 4 his fame as a man and a soldier.

How much the hostility of the ad- | ministration towards Gen.

He avowed himself a moder- ate Whig, but défmed ‘the time inoppor- tune to address him about politics, as he, as General of the American army, com- manded alike Whig and- Democrat, and esteemed alike theone and‘ the other.— Such is the history of those times. After the battle of Monterey the solici- tations of his friends became more argent in his behalf;-but the General did not change his determination. Jt was not till after the astounding victory of Buena Vis- ta that: these demonstrations became so numerous, and from sources which com- manded his deference, that he deemed it a matter of public duty to submit to what appeared to be the wishes of his country- men. In yielding himself to this move- ment he insisted but upon one condition, and that was, that he shonld not be tram- melled in office, if elected, by party pledg- es; that in fact he must go to the Presi- dency free to act for the good of the coun- We take advantage of an interval be- tween the receipt of our regular instal- ments of foreign news, to bestow more at- tention of matters which are occurring around us, than we have been enabled to do of late. The most interesting item of domestic intelligenee—that which has produced as much and as discordant feel- ing as any thing else that has made its | appearance fur some days—is Gen. Tay- lor’s letter to Messrs. Baldwin and Galla- her, Editors of the Richmond Republican, giving categorical answersto certain ques- tions propounded by the writers. The in- terrogatories are as follows: 1. Will you refuse the nomination of a Whig National Convention ? 2. Do you design to withdraw if Henry Clay or any other man shall be the candi- date ? 3.

Rem, at Newbern in the Gubernatorial canvass, that he sprung a new issue upon his competitor—that he came out in favor of abolishing all property qualifications of voters, leaving no distinction electors of members of the Senate and House of Commons. We enter our protest, without hesita- tion, against this odjous agrarian doctrine, for several very good reasons. 1. In the first place, it bears on the ve- ry face of it evidence that it ‘* was con- ceived in sin and brought forth iniquity.” —Under the salutary provisions of the Constitution of the State, which, asa sys- | tem of organic Jaw, is the best in the) world for the people of all classes, our, public affairs have been justly and har- monivusly administered for nearly three fourths of a century; and thoogh a Con.- | vention has recently been held to remedy | some defects in regard to representation, which time and circumstances rendered necessary, and the Democratic party were represented in that Convention by its sa- ges and oracles—its Macons, its Daniels, | its Wilsons, its Fishers, its Spaights, its Speights, its Branches, its Edwardses, &c. vass, if it would not be an act of bad faith | it. It would give him neither pain nor) - + ‘ I a eee ee Loe eee see See on : on Solph sa.

We do not believe that the people of North Car- olina, with their present pure and ortho- dox moral and political principles and feelings, would abuse such power. Bat agrarian, Jacobinical and fanatical prin- ciples of the most dangerous and down- ward tendency are fearfully spreading in some of the States; and they may, in the course of time, if all safeguards and by- warks are pulled down, insidiously stéal in and poison the minds of the virtuous population of our beloved Commonwealth. 5. All innovations upon well establish- ed usages are hazardous, and should ne- ver be made unless they become burden- some, or are clearly productive of evil.— _In the case under consideration, no bur- _dens are felt; | complaints have been uttered. Noteven Col. Reid himself, in all his former public | career, with all his love and labor tor the between the | dear people, was ever known to have felt | /or suggested any grievance, until the scales fell from his eyes in his eager search for a hobby in this race for office! Let the people beware of the Syren voice of office hunters. They entice to devour. 6. But push this doctrine of unrestrict- ed suffrage to its legitimate results; and where will it end! Why, all appoint- ments must be taken from the Legislature andthe Executive, and placed in the hands of the people. All State officers, clerks. justices, and judges must be elected by the people. They must take back all their delegated power, in relation to ap- pointments, and exercise it themselves in every instance. ‘The federal government, too, must be remodeled. The Senate must be elected by the people, the Presi- dent must be voted for directly by the peo: | ple, the Cabinet, the foreign Ministers, the | officers of the Army and Navy, the Judg- 'es of the Supreme Court of the United States, &c. &c. must all be elected by the —and though this very question of free | suffrage was freely agitated ; yet it did | not enter into the mind of one of them to. move or advocate an amendment touch: | ing the qualifications of Senatorial elec- | tors. Why, then, is it now deemed ne- cessary ? what new light has burst upon the mind of the young Ajax of the so call- ed Democracy ? why has he at this pecu- | liar juncture sought to addle the brains of the prudent and sober yeomanry of the) State with this new proposition to subvert, break down and destroy the conservative branch of our government? Were the old, too well known, odious and oft rejec- ed principles of the party, too poor, too) weak, too unpopular to bear him through this race for the Chief Magistracy? Aye —there’s the rub ; and this new hobby. in a fit of desperation, was seized, saddled, and straddled, with the last faint hope | that, by chance, it might be rode into | power. | | { \ | Here, then, is an unworthy mo- | tive, and a reckless disregard of the true | interests of the people—an assault upon. the Constitution, the bulwark of our lib- erties, ina desperate game to subserve | the unholy purposes of party and personal ambition ; and this of itself is sufticient reason why the people should indignantly | reject both hobby and rider.

The Sonthern General Conference, at its last session, appointed Dr. Pierce, of Georgia, as a Delagate from the M. E. Church, South, to the General Conference of the Church, North, now in session at Pittsburg, Pa. His application to be admitted as a delegate, was rejected by a large majority, thus refusing any faternal relation with the Southern Church.— Below we give Dr. Pierce’s letter, on receiv- ing information of the action of the Confer. ence: To the Bishops and Members of the General Conference of the M. E, Church. Rev. and Dear Brethren: I have received two extracts from your journal of the 4th and 5th inst. From these extracts I learn you de- cline receiving me in my proper character as the accredited delegate of the M. E. Church, South, and only invite me to a seat within the bar, as due to me on account of my private and personal merits. These considerations I shall appreciate, and will reciprocate them with you in all the private walks of Christian and social life. But within the bar of the General Con. ference I can ofily be known in my official cha- racter. You will therefore regard this communica- tion as final on the part of the M. E. Church, South. She can never renew the offer of fra- ternal relations between the two great bodies of Wesleyan Methodists in the United States. But the proposition can be renewed at any lime, either now or hereafter, by the M. E. Church. And if ever made upon the basis of the Plan of Separation, as adopted by the Gen. eral Conference of 1844, the Church, South, will cordially entertain the proposition.

NEW BARREL.DRESSING MACHINE. | We have seen the drawings of a new ma. ehine for the above purpose, which performs the operations of howelling, champering, cut- ting the crossings and trimming both ends of a barrel, all at once. a crank. dal, of this State. We hope befure long to preseat our readers with an engraving and full description of the invention. The machine is driven by SELF.FEEDING OFL CAN. Mr. Benjamin F. Bee, of New Bedford, Mass. | has made a very important improvement in Oil Cane, by regulating the supply by pneumatic | pressufe. “A small piston on the top connected - with a bellows spring on the top of said piston. | The oil is forced out of the spout by pressing on the piston, and no cork or cap is needed, for when the piston is not pressed upon, the Can | may be rolled about without the least fear of epilling the oil, NEW PLASTERER’S TROWEL. Mr. E. A. Caldwin, of Shelburne Falls, Mass. rect plastering of gothic cotiages and buildings. It can be regulated to plaster at any angle the plate being moved by a set of screws in a slot | to allow the trowel to plaster at any angle, a- ¢ute, obtuse or a right angle triangle, thus ma. | king it a most economical and valuabie tool for | every mason and plasterer. IMPROVED HORSE RAKE. Mr. J. A. H. Eltis, of North Springfield, Ver- mont, has made a very important improvement in the Horse Rake, whereby a boy about 14; years of age is able to do more work with it | than a man with any other now in use. It is superior to the latter, because it dues not need to be lifted over the winnow, a very severe task and requiring a man to lift it over and a hoy to drive the horse. Mr. Ellis’s rake requires on- ly @ boy to drive and when it passes over a winnow all the hay is effectually delivered from the teeth. The operator stands on an elevated platform and when he wishes to unload his rake be draws back a rod in front of him and press- it possesses over a common bailt carriage con: It is the invention of Mr. Geo. Cran. | | poses. | | has invented a Plasterers ‘Trowel for the cor- | | | \ sists in the compact combipation of a chaise or buggy body, with an axle, pair of shafts,and half eliptic. springs, so arranged that the entire weigftot the body and its load-is suspended to the axle, neither resting upon or fatiguing the horse, and so also that the motion of the body of the vehicle is kept perfectly steady, and is pre- vented from violent jerks or vibrations, however rough or uneven the road may be. It is also constructed so as to pass the weight under the axle, itstead of over, as in the old way. It bal- ances on level ground, bears upon the horse in ascending, and relieve him of the weight in de- scending a hill. IMPROVEMENT IN SAWING. Mr. A. F.

We often hear people lament the want , of these things, which they might vow have | been ia the full enjoyment of, kad they planted | at the proper time. We are under no necessity of sending to Eu. rope, or any other quarter of the Globe, for or- namentaltrees. Although the European moun. tain ash, horse chesnut, and some others, are very beautiful; yet the Amicrican furest con- tains a much greater varicty of species, many magnolia and liriordendron, for instance. ‘Phe .; elm and sycamore, or buttonwood, are well a- | dapted to lawns an@ public roads, where there | is ample room for their gigantic and spreading growth; they are among qur most majestic and stately trees.

The ash is remarkable for the beauty and symmetry of its growth, but is among the last to put forth its leaves in the spring, and the first to shed them in autumn.— , The mountain asb is fine for ornament, its clus- ters of scarlet berries remaining after the fall of the leaf, and often times throuch the winter. Among the evergreens are the silver fir, which is extensively used for ornamental pur. The arbor vite is very fine, and singn- jlarin the flat growth of its branches. The black or double spruce is@f very regular growth of a pyramidal shape, and worthy of cultivation. The white pine is much employed at present ‘for ornament; it is a graceful and stately tree, The hemlock may be ranked among our most | beautiful evergreens, and bears a near resem. blance to the European yew. Lvergreens should be planted the first of June, when they will succeed as well as deciduous trees which are planted at the regular time.

PROSPECTUS OF THE SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIAN. Tue Committee appointed by the Synod of Georgia at its late meeting in Milledgeville, to issue a Prospectus and take other measures preliminary to the publication of a paper devoted to the doctrines and order of the Pres- byterian Church, respectfully submit to the public, 1. THe NECESSITY OF SAID Parer.—In all that portion must endeavor to forget me and also to) forgive me for could I hav enjoyed m own feelings I never could done as I hav. But I must say that my heart and soul | { of the Southern country between Richmond and New Orleans, not a single paper of the Presbyterian Church is published. ‘The vast and important region intermediate, is emphatically “ The South.” All will concede that it should be furnished with papers of itsown. No friend of the South would wish to see it left destitute or even par- was tempted out of me day after day till at length I made up my mind to conquer | or to die, and therefore I must turn you off. I have nothing against you in this | world an never will hav for you are a young man in whom I have always pla- ced great confidence and never was afraid to reveal a secret to. There has | passed a great deal bet ween us more than _there ever will again likely but we dont know what time will bring forth.” | Instead of Mr. Dewitt Clinton Winchell being rejoiced to get rid of a lady who could produce such a choice specimen of ! orthographic epistolatory correspondence, he wrote the following cool reply : |“ Miss Elizabeth Bogart i received your ' letter which stated that i must not come | again to see you its nothing more than i expected to hear from you i would say _to you that if you woud rather have Cham- _bers than me i am willing and have noth- ing to say the next nuse i expect to hear is that you will be married to mister C. but take care that i dont git a wife be- fore you git a man he is one of the slip- |pery boys. never tell him what i say i /dont expect these lines will ever reach _any ones eyes but yours do thes as you have done the rest of the letters Burn _them fori have burnt all mine so that there will be no trouble about themi will | /not date these for you did not yours i am | going to get married this fall keep dark | liz.” The jury on the reading of the above epistle, considered twenty-five dollas suffi- ciegit to assuage the wounded feelings of | the disconsolate lover, and accordingly rendered a verdict in his favor of that a- mount. | ee A Distressinc Case.—A gentleman in New York, connected with the press, re- ceived intelligence a few days ago that his only daughter at Albany, was. ill, which announcement was followed quick: | ly by information of her death. With all | possibe haste he proceeded to attend her | burial, after which he returned to New | York. The correspondent of the Phila- | delphia Inquirer of the 12th, says: | IIe never alluded to his misfortune, and | went mechanically to work. For the first day or two he performed his duties, but | indifferently. Soon he intimated to his | friends that he had suddenly become pos. | sessed of an immense fortune, but in. what way he did not say. He was high- | ly exhilirated. Yesterday he hired a carriage, drove to | Wall street, gave orders for the purchase | of $500,000 worth of Treasury notes— , spoke of his immense wealth, and the man- | nerin which he should dispose of it. He visited all his old haunts in that money mart, where his language excited sur- prize and wonderment. In a word, Mr. tially snpplied. That supply is now partial, for distant papers, destitute as they must be of local interest, can ne- ver become either proper organs for and with our Church- es, or proper advocates of our institutions; and therefore cannot so interest the feelings of our people, as to secure among them a general circulation. Hence it is, few com- | paratively of our Church members can be induced to take them. Other sections of the country abound in religious papers—sustained because THEY ARE THEIR OWN. Other denominations, too, have theirs. Their zeal we honor, theirexample we would emulate. Duty seems, there- fore, to demand that the Presbyterian denomination in the South should have upen their pwn soil, their own pa- | per, devoted to their own interests and adapted to their own wants. II. Irs Location.—The central position of Georgia and the facilities afforded by her Rail Roads, give her a decided preference in this respect, in seference to the oth- er States included in the above mentioned field. Mill- edgeville was designated by the Synod as the place of is- sue, it is presumed, among other reasons, because it is the Capital and affords to an extent unsurpassed by any other place in the State, all the facilities, as well of publication as of communication withjother portions of the country. III. Irs Cuaracrer.—As its name imports, it will be Sourwern and PrespyTerian; Southern in its designs and its spirit ; decidedly Presbyterian in its Principles— an exponent of our doctrines and order,a medium of com- munication for all our Churches, an advocate of all our institutions. character, it will be liberal in its views, expansive in its charity, wide in its embrance of the great interests of the Church of Christ, and our common country—will aim al- so at being rich in religious instruction and fervid with the | Christian spirit—adapted to family reading, not over- looking the lambs of the flock. In a word, its design will be ‘the edification of the Body of Christ,” in all things pertaining to life and godliness. IV. Irs Size, Quarity, Terms, Epiror, &c.—It will be issued weekly, on a super-royal sheet, as large as the late Charleston Observer, with fair type and good mecha- nical execution, at Tore Donars per unnum, ALWAYS In ADVANCE. ‘The Rev.

The news is not of serious importance, though of a good deal of interest. In France everything is quiet. A tem- porary Exeeutive Committee of five mem- bers has been resolved upon and appoint- ed. The list of members is published be- low. Lemartine has lost ground in the As- sembly, as will be seen by the votes he received. The faggig attributed to the favor he has shown to Ledru Rollin. An insurfection has occurred in Rome, against the Pope, because he refuses to declare war against Austria. A new Ministry has been appointed. In Lombardy « decisive engagement was daily expeeted between Charles Al- bert and the Austrians at Verona. Germany continues to be agitated. On the Prussian Polish frontiers there is still great trouble. A series of severe battles has been fought between the Prus- sians and Poles—in which the former were beaten with great slaughter.

Lamartine read the report of the Pro- visional Government on the state of France The feport met with great applause from the assembly. M. Ledru Rollin followed in a long address in which he complained bitterly of the calumnious reports which had.been circulated respecting him. From these calumnies he vindicated himself, professing that he held moderate opinions. His address produced a favorable impres- sion on the assembled‘deputies. On Mon-° day, M. Garnier Pages presented his fi- nancial statement. A letter from Lyons says: The army of the Alps have received the war equipment, and mules have heen purchased to eonvey the baggage. Gen. Oudinot, general-in-chief, has reviewed the troops, and has gone to Grenoble, where he has established his head quar- ters. At Lyons it is generally supposed the army will soon cross the frontier.

Atf- ter some further conversation the assem- bly, at half-past one o’clock, proceeded-to vote, and the scrutiny was completed at four. o’clock. The following is the result : Number of votes, 794 Absolute majority, 398 Lamartine, 643 Ledru Rollin, 458 Marie, 702 Garnier Pages, 715 Arago, 725 The President accordingly declared the citizens Lamartine, Ledru Rollin, Marie, Garnier Pages, and Arago, members form- ing the Executive Commission of Gove ernment. M. Wolowski then brought forward his proposition for a committee to examine into the state of the working classes, but after having developed his views he ab- ruptly turned to the question of Poland; and was followed by M. Ducoux, who de- claimed about the state of their demo- cratic brethren in Germany, Italy and Po- land. M. De Lamartine in a few sentences from his seat observed how difficult it was for a government so formed, and un- der such circumstances, togive such pledg- es as were demanded ; they should recol- lect the reserve imposed upon him, but he would declare that should the moment for co-operation arise, he would not forget what was due to the French Flag, and most assuredly the conduct of 1831 would | not be renewed in 1848.

An animated debate followed the read- ing of the report. In the course of the debate the Abbe Lacordaire supported the Republican list for Ministers. At length the President put the question, and the mode of nomination proposed in the re- port was rejected by 411 to 385. The se- cond proposition was, that the assembly | should nominate an executive commission, | Hesse, in addition to the infantry now! | Which again should nominate Ministers ; | here. - | and the third is, that the Provisional Gov- } ernment retain office till the constitution | is decreed.

Four pow. erful tribes have united, and commenced a dead- ly war. Four battles took place in January, in three of which the Whites were successful in beating their enemy.

SCOTT AT ELIZABETHTOWN. The enthusiam of the good people of ancient and ‘beafitiful borough of Eliza- beth, in our sister State-of New Jersey, (says the New York Express of Tuesday) could not be restrained on the retarn of beloved and distinguished fellow citizen, Major General Winfield, Scott, trom the field of his and his country’s fame and glo- ry. They came out as one man, yester- day morning, and hung their public pla- ces with the national banner, and with mottoes, and flural wreaths, and other em- blems; and the boom of cannon and the ringing of bells, and the swell of national music, mingled with the glad shouts of thousands of voices, welcoming the war- worn, laurel crewned bero to the bosom of his quiet and happy home. Across the Main street of the village was displayed the American flag, attached to which was the following original poetical effusion : “ Welcome home to his natiye land, The gallant hero of the band, Who faced the storm, and feared it not, The brave and gallant WinrreLp Scort.” At noen a procession, with Mr. Charles | King At its head, moved from the town ihe hall to the venerable house of Gen. Scott, say. known as the Mayo Mansion. There, Alderman Crolius, on behalf of a Com- mittee of the Common Councils of New York, and General Sandford, on behalf of a committee from the Military of the city, conveyed to General Scott, pressing invi- tations to visit New York.

Early in the morning, amidst the boom- ing of cannon, a steamboat conveyed the members of the Common Council and a large number of invited guests, to Eliza- bethtown Point, where the General was welcomed in the name of the city. — Coming up the Bay, cannon were dis- charged from Governor’s Island and the Battery. Gen. Scott looked mugh fatigued, but, nevertheless, bore the ceremonies at Castle Garden well, In reply to an ad- dress from Morris Franklin, on behalf of the city of New York, the General said ;— Designing to spend quietly a few days in this neighborhood, I have on your kind demand come forth from retirement, to surrender myself a prisoner into the hands of friends.

FOR PRESIDENT, GENERAL ZACHARY TAYLOR, OF LOUISIANA. FOR GOVERNOR, CHARLES MANLY. OF WAKE COUNTY. RAIL ROAD CONVENTION. It is with no ordinary feelings of pride and satisfaction that we would advert to the proceedings, doings, and sayings of the Convention, which met here on Tues- day last. If public opinion ever has lag- ged in an immoderate degree on this sub- ject, we are sure it must now rally. The important facts which were exhibited at the Convention, with the soul-stirring and patriotic appeals to North Carolinians to do their duty, were not idle words, and the future alone can tell where the influ- ences then set to work may cease to act. The Convention was pretty well at- tended: Delegates from the North and South, East and West, poured in on Mon- day; and the best of it was they all appear- ed to feel the importance of the project in contemplation, and to be actuated by a determined zeal for its final accomplish- ment. While here, they so spoke and acted ; and we venture to say that a simi- lar Convention has rarely met in North Carolina, marked with the same kind feel- in better humor with itself than did this. The official proccedings show the names of the Delegates in attendance, and also formally mention the names of those who addressed the Convenfion. Would that our pen was capableé-ef sketching the spi- rit, or even relating the words of some of them. But we shall forbear an attempt at either. We could not doany thing like justice to any of them, and without the least disparagement to any, we would ask the question how could such a speech as that of W. P: Tunstall be printed?

During the absence of the Committee, we never S®w men look’as blank, on any occasion—ap- pearing..to express. a desire to be any where else than in the Court House, en- gaged in that business. One made a call on John Fraley, Esq., to address thé meéet- ing, who declined, and called on Major Ellis, who also begged to be excused, on the score of illness. After remaining si- lent for some time, the nominating Com- mittee came in, and throagh Sameel Reeves, informed the Chairman that it was ep, ale desire to report them unless it was the wish of the meeting. It was then put to vote whether the Committee shoul rt, and decided in the negative. A motion was then made that the meet- ing adjourn to next Saturday, and adopt- ed, and the Committee instructed to be ready to report by that time. Before, however, the meeting dispersed, it was enjoined upon each one present, to bring at least three others, so that a larger showing of the unterrified democracy might be made. . Why the nominating Committee did not feel disposed to report, we have not heard, but sippose it was based entirely upon con- scieatious scruples. It is well known, we suppose, that the democracy are great sticklers for the majority to rule at all times; so that as those present did not éonstitute a majority of the party, it mast have been thought best not to make any nomination for the present. It was decidedly the most complete failure we have ever known, and evinces on the part of the mass of the party great coldness. MEXICO. The accounts from this country are con- tradictory, some asserting that the Treaty has been ratified and others it has not been, so that nothing can be relied on.— The opposition members of the Mexican Congress, are represented as being very violent to the adoption of the Treaty— threatening to withdraw and leave that body without a quorum, rather than see it sanctioned. Another report says that it has been proposed to reject it and open new nego- tiations with the view to make prepara- tions for the renewal of the war. Wiile this state of things continues it is useless to pay any attention tothe thousand and one reports constantly coming, but wait patiently for the official announce- just as it was from the moment the non ” the following paragraph ; | We may state it, asa ficant the Barnburners cert Son Col.

This insurmount- | able difficulty, palsies the spirit of enterprize—and pla- ces industry out of the advantages of a fair and equal / competition. The consequences are visible in the de- pression of prosperity—the discontent of our people— and that blight of emigration which has peopled more favored regions with our virtuous, intelligent and enter- These evils demand a remedy: we believe it to be in our own hands, and that nature and the conspiring circumstances which surround us, point to this work as its great instrument. All portions of wes- tern North Carolina by the rivers which flow from our | mountains—by lateral roads adapted to our productions, | will have easy access to this road, and others placed in ' easy and speedy communication with the best markets of the nation. But your Committee will not have done their duty to circumscribe their view to the great inter- | est of North Carolina in its success. High, patriotic, | and national considerations intimately connect them- selves with the success of the undertaking. Wide as is the surface of our Country, and diversified as are its in- | terests—all these interests are harmoniously blended and imuraelly sustain each other. Hence arises that im- | mense stream of travel which, with the regularity of re- | turning autumn, flows from the North to the Southern | extremities of the Union, and with opening spring turns its reflex current to lose itself in the cities, and on the rivers of the North and East. This travel is at once the | offspring and the source of our natural prosperity. .It demands from the public the utmost facility of commu- Nature points out to us, where this line is located, assuming that the Charlotte and South Carolina and Richmond and Danville roads will be constructed.

There is an old saying relative to honest men thieves, which, however applicable to the par- ties referred to in the annexed paragraph, is not intended to be supplied to them by us. We copy it however, for two reasons—one to illus- trate the consistency of Gen. Cass, and the oth- er to show the opinion entertained of that eager, intensely eager aspirant for the Presidency by a Democratic member of Congress.—Rich- mond Whig. From the New York Tribune. Hon. Gro. Rarnsun, a leading Barnburner of our State, having in the late Convention at Utica, denounced Gen. Cass as ulterly unwor- thy of support, Gen. C. publishes hart of a let- ter written to him in September ’46, by Mr. R., which expressed the highest esteem and regard. Mr. Rathbun explains that when the said letter was written, Gen. C. was openly, notoriously warmly in favor of excluding Slavery from any territory which we might acquire from Mexico, and that the Jetter published by General C. was | impelled by a knowledge of the fact. He illus- trates :— “ Benedict Arnold was at one time a brave soldier; he was believed to be a true patriot.

OO THE ESSENTIALS TO PRODUCTIVE | FARMING. @The following sixteen essentials fur produc- | tive farming are from the pen of the editor of | the American Farmer, which is, we believe, the oldest agricultural paper in the United | States : 1. Goodimplements of husbandry, and plenty | of them, which should always be kept in perfect | order. 2. Deep ploughing, and thorough pulveriza- tion of the soil, by the free use of harrow,drag, and roller. 3. An application of lime, marl, or ashes, where calcareous matter or potash may not be present in the soil. 4. A systematic husbanding of every sub- stance on a fag capable of being converted into manure, as systematic protection of such sub- stances from loss by evaporation and waste of any kinds, and acareful application of the same to the lands in culture. 5. ‘The draining of all wet land, so as to re- lieve the roots of the plants from the ill effects of a superabundance of water,a condition equal. | ly pernicious as drought, to their healthful | growth and profitable fructification. ‘ 6. ‘The free use of the plough, cultivator, and hoe, with all row-cullural crops, so as to keep down at all times, the growth of grass, and | weeds. those pests which prove so destructive | to crops. 7. Seeding at the proper time, with good seed, and on equal attention as to time, with regard | to the period of working crops. 8. Attention to the construction and repair of | fences, so that, what is made through the toils tions for insanity are laid. rep eee horses and stock, all necoesary outbuildings, for the accommodation &fthe hands, snd protection of ithe tools and implements, as well ag for. the eare of the poultry.

The taking of one or more good agricul- tural papers. It is better to cut grain just before it is fully or dead ripe. When the straw immediately be- low the grain is so dry that on twisting it no jnice is extracted, it should be cut, fér there is then no further circulation of juice to the ear. THE EDUCATION OF THE HEART. —— It is a vice of the aye to substitute learning for wisdom—to educate the head, and forget that there is a more important education necessary for the heart. ‘The reason is cultivatad at an age when nature does not fu®mish the elements necessary to a successful cultivation of it; and the child is solicited to reflection, when he is only capable of sensation and emotion. In in- fancy the attention and the memory are only ex- cited strongly by things which impress the sen- ses, and move the heart, and a father shall in- still more solid and valuable instruction in an hour spent in the fields, where wisdom and good- ness are exemplified, seen and felt, than in a month spent in the study, where they are ex- pounded in stereotyped aphorisms. No physician doubts, that precocious children in fifty cases fur one, are much the worse for the discipline they have undergone. The mind seems to have been strained, and the founda. When the studies | of maturer years are stuffed into the head of a | child, people do not reflect on the anatomical fact, that the brain of an infant is not the brain ofa man; that the one is confirmed and can bear exertion, the latter is growing and requires repose ; that to force the attention to abstract facts, to load the memory with chronological and historical and scientific detail; in short, to expect 4 child’s brain to bear with impunity the exertions of a man’s, is just as rational as it would be to hazard the same sort of experiment on.its muscles. The first eight or ten years of life should be devoted to the education of the heart—to the formation of principles, rather than to the ac- quirement of what is usually termed knowledge. Nature herself points out such a courst ; for the emotions are then the liveliest, and most easily moulded, being as yet alloyed by passion. It is from this source that the mass of men are hepeafter to draw their sum of happiness or mis- ery; the actions of the immense majority are, under all circumstances, determined much more by feeling than reflection ; in truth, life presents Sone : 28 : | an infinity of occasions where it is essential to | happiness that we should feel rightly ; very few where it is at all necessary that we should think profoundly, Up to the seventh year of life, very great changes are going on in the structure of the | tion not to interrupt them by improper or over excitement. Just that decree of exercise should be given to the brain at this period. as is neces- sary to its health; and the best is oral instruc- tion, exemplified by objects which strike the senses. It is perhaps unnecessary'to add, that at this period of life, special attention should be given both by parents and teachers, to the physical developement of the child. Pure air and free exercise are indispensable, and wherever these are withheld, the consequences will be certain to extend themselveggpver the whole future life. The seeds of protracted and hopeless suffering have in innumerable instances, been sown in the constitution of the child simply through ig. | norance of this great fundamental physical law ; and the time has come when the united voices of these innocent victims should ascend, ‘trump- et-tongued,” to the ears of every parent and teacher in the land, “Give us free air and | wholesome exercise; leave to develope our ex- panding energies, in accordance with the laws ‘of our being, and full scope for the elastic and bodnding impulses of our young blood !”—Lon. | than were established by periods ha | Slates and Territories. -~,~- ra a eee ee ‘Thegd Sunday-school misgio ry colpocteurs have e@mblished 770. new.schools, or 241 more. means last year > and have visited and te over 1,000 other sc ! 11,004 teachers and 81,808 scholars. -They have <distributed by sale and donation neat $15,000 Worth ‘of reli- gious. books fcr children and youth: ‘Their sa’ -| aries and expenses were $11,894 04. | Donations of books, tracts, &e., have been made, [including. $3,928 16, the details of which are not yet reported. ie the value of $13,629 35, and these, with thé charges to the of receipts and expenditures, make the amount expended in missionaty labors and donations $35,715 77, which, with the over draft of last year, shows a balance against the donation ac- count of @9,744 38; deduct books in hands of missionaries, 1,726 39 makes the actual expen- diture of the Society for Sunday-Schoo! mission- ary colporteurs and donations to Sunday-schools, $8,017 99 beyond the contributions received tor this purpose. .

Of the whole number of publications the past year 53 were written for the Society. Not more than one in ten of the works offered for publication during the year, bave been approved for the So- ciety’s purposes. THe Circuxation of the Sunday-School Journal and Youth’s Penny Gazette las in- creased ; of the latter over 150,000 numbers have heen published per month, or more than 2,000,000 numbers ‘in the year. This is not altended with profit to the Soeiety, the price merely covering the outlay for paper and print- ing. The total value of publications distributed du- ring the year is $125,873 33, a larger amount tban has ever been circulated by the Society in any one year since its organization.

ANAWAY from the subscriber, residing near Concord, North Carolina, about the Ist of December last, a negro boy by the name of JOHN. John is a very bright colored mulatto, is about five feet 10 inches in height, straight and well built—has long dark bair and wears it combed over in front and straight down over his ears and the back part of his head—and when excited or heated by exercise his face assumes a flush and ruddy complection. He has a scar on his ieft hand and one upon his right wrist.— He has an axe scar on his left foot, as well as recollect- ed, extending from the end of his big toe near to the middle of the foot. He took with him when he left me a good pair of cassinette pantaloons, and a good brown overcoat and a pair of boots. He may have procured free papers and atteinpted to make his way to a free State, as a free man of color, or he may have attempt- ed to pass for a white man, which his color would well justify. But I am rather inelined to believe he is lurk- ing about Charlotte, as he was. raised in that town and has numerous relations and acquaintances in and around that place—or he may be about Asheville, N. C., hav- ing a brother living there. Anyinformation respecting him, given to me at Concord, N. C., will be thankfully received. And the above reward will be given to any person who will deliver him to me, or confine him in any jail so that I get him. WM. C. MEANS. Concord, N. C. March 22, 1848.—tf48. ~ 25 DOLLARS REWARD.

THOMAS M. OLIVER, Raleigh, N.C. Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla Pills, Are a strengthening Purgative and a Pu- rifying Tonic. R. Le Roy’s Pills are a new medicine which has just appeared, and is fast taking the places of all others of the same class. These pills are composed of many ingredients, but the two principal one are Sarsapa- rilla and Wild Cherry, so united that they act together ; the one, through its admixture with other substances, pu- rifying and purging, while the other is strencthening the system. ‘Thus those pills are at the same time tonic and opening ; a desidéatum Icng and eagerly sought for by medical men, but never before discovered. In other words they do the work of two medicines, and do it much better than any two we know of ; for they remove noth- ing from the system but the impurities; so that while they purge they strengthen ; and hence they cause no de- bilitation, and are followed by no re-action. Dr Le Roy’s Pills have a wonderful influence on the blood ; they not only purify without weakening it, but they remove all noxious particles from the chyle before its is converted in- to fluid, and thus make impure blood an utter impossibil- ity. As there is no debilitation,go there is no nausea or sickness attending the operations of this most excellent of medicines, which never strains or tortures the digestive functions, but causes them to work in a perfectiy natural manner ; and hence persons taking them do uot become | pale and emaciated, but the contrary ; for while itis the property of the Sarsaparilia, united ag it is with otherin- | gredients, to remove all tha is impure, it.is equally the property of the Wild Che rd that {s natural and sounc ; and hence a robust st@e of health is the cer- | tain result of their united operations.

GEN. €AS8’S ACCEPTANCE. The Richmond Times of the 6th inst., says :—-The Union of Thursday morning, and the Enquirer of yesterday, ptfblish a correspondence between the committee (the Predident and Vige Presidents) ap- pointed by the Democratic National Con- vention, to make known to Gen, Cass the fact of his nomination, and that gentle- man himself. We publish Gen. Cass’s | The letter of the commit- tee contains nothing very remarkable.— They Jay before the General the resola- « letter in full. tions adopted by the Convention, and kind- ly inform bim that they contain the * prin- ciples upon which they (the Convention) think the government ought to be admin- istered.” “ These (add the Committee) constitute a platform broad enough for all true democrats to stand upon, and narrow enough to exclude all those who may be opposed to the great principles of the De- mocratic party.” Gen. Cass. therefore, like Mr. Polk, was required to pledge him- self explicitly to the creed prepared for him at Baltimore. He takes the nostrum with admirable fortitude, saying of the resolutions, “I adhere tothem as firmly as I approve of them cordially.” Neither firmness nor cordiality being a character- istic of the General. we think his profes- sion of faith (and this, he says, is his “lasv”) Jeaves his political compass some room for veering. We have no space for farthercomment on this.production, which takes a column to say what Mr. Clay said in two senten- ces. But we cannot omit to take .otice of the writer's arrogant and ridiculous as- sumption that the Whig party questions the capacity of man for self-government, and that this forms the radical distinction between the two parties. the fundamental difference, it lies in ‘his: The Whig party appeals to the intelli- gence and sound judgment of the people ; the Democratic party to their prejudices | and passions. The Whig party not only believes in, but trusts to, their capacity for | self-government; the Democratic party practically denies it, by continually aba- ting from the responsibility of the Execu- tive. There is one sort of government against which the Whigs do, and ever will, protest: it is the uncontrolled supre- macy of such time-servers and “ equivo- cating betrayers” of the people’s rights as Lewis Cass; whose history proves him | to have been a federalist or republican ; an apglogist for Louis Philippe or his de- nou san advocate of the Wilmot Pro- viso or dfs ppponent; just as he thought one opinion or the opposite would be to Lis own advantage. ———s Gen, Cass's Letter of Acceptance. Wasuincton, May 30, 1848. Gentlemen—I have the honor to ac- knowledge the receipt of your letter of 4° 28rh instant, announcing to me that | ave been’nominated by the convention of the Democratic parly its candidate for the office of Pgesident of the United States | at the approaching election. While I accept, with deep gratitude, | this distinguished honor—and distinguish- ed indeed it is—I do so with a tearful ap- mecbersion of the responsibility it may ventually bring with it, and with a pro- found conviction that it is the kind confi- dence of my fellow citizens, far more than any merit of my own, which has placed me thus prominently before the American people. And fortunate shall I be if this confidence should find, in the events of the future a better justification than is furnished by those of the past. I have carefubky read the resolutions of the Democratic National Convention, lay- ing down the platform of our political faith, and IT adhere to them as firmly, as 1. approve of them cordially—And while thus adhering to them, I shall do so with a sacred regard to “the principles and compromises of the constitution,” and with | anearnest desire for their maintenance “in a spirit of moderation and brotherly love, so vitally essential to the perpetuity of the Union, and the prosperity and hap- piness of our common country ;’—a feel- | ing which has made us what we are,and assume no powers—it should exercise | which, in humble reliance upon Provi- dence, we may hope is but the beginning the pangies to the federal compact. of what we are to be. < oRe If we seek for | If called upon ought to construe the constitution strictly, | herealierto render an account of my stew- ardship, in the great trust you desire to. ciples of the Jeflerson school.

My immediate predecessor in the nom- ination by the Democratic party, who has since established so many claims to the regard and confidence of his country, when announcing, four years ago, his accept- ance of a similar Lonor, announced also his determination not to be a candidate for re-election. Coinciding with him in his views, so well expressed, and so faith- fully carried out, 1 beg leave to say, that no circumstances can possibly arise, which | would induce me again to permit my | name to be brought forward in connexion | with the Chief Magistracy of our country. | My inclination and my sense of duty e- | qually dictate this course, ita No party, gentlemen, had ever higher | motives for exertion, than has the great Democratic party of the United States. | With an abiding confidence in the recti- ‘tude of our principles, with an unshaken reliance upon the energy and wisdom of | publie opinion, and with the success which | has crowned the administration of the go- | vernment, when committed to its keeping, (and it has been so committed during more ‘than three-fourths of its existence.) what /has been done, is at once the reward of | past exertion and the motive for future, _and at the same time, a guarantee for the | accomplishment of what we have to do. | We cannot conceal from ourselves that | there is a powerful party in the country differing from us in regard to many of the fundamental principles of our government, | and opposed to us in their practical appli- ‘cation, which will strive as zealously as | we shall to secure the ascendancy of their principles by securing the election of their candidate in the coming contest. That | party is composed of our fellow citizens. , as deeply interested in the prosperity of | our Common country as we can be and seeking as earnestly as we are to promote and perpetuate it. We shall soon present to the world the sublime spectacle of the election of a Chief Magistrate by twenty | millions of people, without a single serious | resistance to the Jaws, or the sacrifice of the life of one human being—and this, | too, in the absence of all force, but the moral ferce of our institutions ; and if we | should add to all this an example of mu- tual respect for the motives of the con- | tending parties, so that the contest might be carried on with that firmness and en- ergy which accompany deep conviction, and with as little personal asperity as po: | litical divisions permit, we should do more fur the great cause of human freedom throughout the world, than by any other | tribute we could render to its value. We have a government founded by the will of all. responsible to the power of all, -and administered for the good of all.— | ‘The very first article in the Democratic | creed teaches that the people are compe: | tent to govern themselves: it is, indeed, | rather an axiom than an article of politi- cal faith. From the days of Gen. Hamil- (on to our days, the party opposed to us— of whose principles he was the great ex- ponent, if not the founder—while it has changed its name, has preserved essen- ‘tially its identity of character; and. the }doubt he entertained and taught of the capacity of man for self-government, has exerted a marked influence upon its ac- tion and opinions. Here is the very start- ing point of the difference between the two great parties which divide our coun- trv. All other differences are but subor- dinate and auxiliary to this, and may, in fact, be resolved into it. Looking with doubt upon the issue of self-government, one party is prone to think the public au- thority should be strengthened, and to fear any change, lest that change might weaken the necessary force of the gov- -ernment ; while the other, strong in its /convictions of the intelligence and virtue of the people, believes that original pow- /eris safer than delegated, and that the ‘solution of the great problem of good gov- “ernment consists in egyerning with the least force, and leaving individual action as free-ffom restraint as is compatible with the preservation of the social system. thereby securing to each all the freedom which is not essential to the well being of the whole. As a party, We ought not to mistake the signs of the times, but should bear in mind that this is an age of progress—of ad- vancement in al! the elements of intellec- tual power, and in the opinions of the world.

FROM THE BALTIMORE AMERICAN OF JUNE 6. In the concluding paragraph of his let- ter of acceptance addressed to the Presi- dent of the Baltimore Convention, Gen. Cass uses the following language : . the signs of the times, but should bear inj mind that this is an age of progress—of advancement in all the elements of intel- lectual power, and in the opinions of the world. The General Government should assume no powers. It should exercise none which have not been clearly grant- ed by the p&Mfes tothe federal compact. We ought to construe the constitution strictly, according to the received and sound principles of the Jefferson school. But, while rash experiments should be de- precated, 7f the Government 1s stationary in tts principles of action, and reluses to accommodate its measures, within dts con- stitutional sphere— -autiously indecd, but wisely and cheerfully—to the adyaneing sentiments and necessities of the age, it will find its moral force impaired, and THE PUBLIC wit verermine To vo what THE PUBLIC AUTHORITY 2sclf should readily do, when the indications of popular senti- ment are clear and clearly expressed.” Whenever the Public determines “ to do What the public authority itself should readily dd,” a crisis arrives not much dif: ferent from a revolution. It is not unusu- al with some who claim to be statesmen to magnify the power of the people to the depreciation of the Government which the people themselves have framed, which they sustain, and in the body of which they havea political existence. Such ap- peals to the turbulent propensities of civ- ilized men imply a most derogatory esti- mate of those to whom they are address- ed. To discriminate between the people as amass and the people as a body politic. formed into an organization of nationality, with institutions and laws. and rights and duties, is to make a distinction between chaos and order; which the mind may readily do in an abstract way; bat to make that distinction real, would be to dissolve all elements and leave civiliza- tion to begin her work anew. General Cass probably wrote the para- graph we have qnoted without having any particular meaning other than to say something in eulogy of democracy, which he understands about as well as a cour- tier comprehends a King, where the one is a parasite and the other a despot. Te has played desperately for the nomination by virtue of which he is now a candidate for the Presidency ; and, should he be un- fortunately elected to that office, he would go into it committed to all those ultraisms by which he has courted popularity, and which are so dangerous to the peace and prosperity of the country.

ZACHARY TAYLOR AND MILLARD FILLMORE as our candidates for the highest offices in the gift of their countrymen, we take oc- casion to express our entire satisfaction, and with heart and hand, shall most cor- dially contribute our humble influence to secure their election. Gen. Taylor is all that we could wish: a sound Whig, a good man, and noble spirit. Whenever and wherever his country has called him to her service, he has promptly obeyed | and faithfully performed the duties as- signed. As a General, bis skill and brave ry in the field has secured him the victory in every contest, some of which were as astounding ta the world as grateful to the hearts of bis devoted soldiers and coun- trymen. We love the man, honor the sol- dier, and admire the eilizen ; and as we believe Gen. Taylor's greatest arbition | is to serve his Country for the good of the Country, no name could have been brought forward to secure our support with great- er cheerfulness. are speaking our individual ck a alone: The wisdom, good taste, and es: | pecially the gratitude of a grateful people, will ensure for Gen.

Does | it consist in standing out against all im- | provements, unless it begin and end with- | in our own borders? We only wish our modern croakers could have been here at | our last weck’s Convention; the feeling | that then prevailed would have shamed | and rebuked them. Surely there never was a day in which men might feel more like citizens of a great Republic and less | like partizans.

The Convention was called to order at 11 o'clock precisely, when Henry White, of Penn- sy)vania, proposed that John A. Collier, of New York, he called tothe Chair, and Wm. S. Arch- er, of Virginia, proposed that James Harlan, of Kentocky. act as Secretary, until a permanent organization should be effected, which proposi- tions were adopted. Mr. Collier, on taking the Chair, returned thanks to the convention for the honor confer. red on hii. The Convention was then opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Brainard, invoking a blessing on their proceedings, Mr. John Sherman, of Ohio, was appointed an additional Secretary. Mr. John W. Fowler, of New York, moved that a committee on credentials Le appointed, afterwards withdrew it. The roll was then called, and the delegates answered to their names. Mr. King of Ga., moved that the delegation from each State appoint a member of their re- speciive delegations to act as a committee of one from each State to appoint permanent offi- cers of the Convention. An amendment was offered to the effect that the committee Le appointed by the Chair, and pevalived. The original motion was then carried, and the committee appointed by delegations. A motion to adjourn to 3. o’cloek was then made and Jost. The committee just appeinted then retired. A motion to clear the galleries, on account of the danver trom the excessive crowd in them was then made and Jost. The rules of the House of Representatives of the United States, se far as they are applica. ble to the business of the Convention, were adopted as the rules of the Convention, As no business could be broucht before the Covention until it should be permanently organ- ized, a motion for adjournment was made until 4 o'clock, and carried. AFTERNOON SESSION, At 4o’clock the President: pro € called the Convention to order.

A District of Colombia; and it-was recommen. haf they should be allowed ‘seats in the COnvention, as honorary members, but with no nuthority to vote, ! : An’exciting discussion‘arose on the proposi- tioa that the report be accepted, “oils lion giving the delegates power to ncies in their delegations, was finally by a vole of ayes 126, nays 156. [Thirty out of the furty absentees were froma Taylor States. ] The reeommendation of the committee that Lovisiana be allowed to vote for ‘exas. was then adopted; as also that the delegates from the District of Columbia be admitted to seats. A question then atose as to the mude of vo- ting—whether it should be by delegates or by States, which was continued until 2 o’clock, when adjournment was moved and carried. The Convention adjourned until 4 o'clock for private session, AFTERNOON SESSION. The Convention met again, agreeable to ad- Journment, at 2 o'clock, Lut the duors were clos. ed, and neither the reporters or spectators ad- mitted until 6 o’clock, T have no means of as, certaining what was done in the interim, Al 6 o’clock, When the doors were opened, a debate was progressing upon a resolution re. quiring Whig pledges from all the candidates presented to the Convention. Mr. Haskell scouted the idea intimated by the resolution, that Whigs would vote lor any body buta Whig. No pledges were necessa- ry, and he therefore hoped that the resolution he Jaid on the table, and the Convention would proceed to nominate Clay, Scou, Taylor, or any vther good Whig. The President of the Convention pronounced the resolution to be out of order, and a debate Was continued at considerable length on an ap- peal from this decision. Mr. Everett, of Vermont, spoke upon the question, but inaudibly, Mr. Gentry followed. He said that the ori. Zinal motion was to prescribe the mode of elec- lion, and the amendment was to prescribe atest of opinion. He considered that the people themselves had determined that question, and the nomination of this Convention would suth- ciently guarantée that the candidate was a Whig. He concluded by moving that the ap- peal be laid on the table, which was carried. The previous question was then called fur and sustained, The vote was then taken npon the main ques- tion, and it was decided that the vote should be taken viva voce, individually, until a majority shall have been obtained. [The Convention was still in session last night when we were compelled to go to press with our Southern edition. ]} SENATORIAL NOMINATION, It will be seen from the subjoined correspon. dence, that the delegates appointed to nominate a candidate for this Senatorial District, have performed the duty assigned them hy present- ing JOHN A. LILLINGTON, of Davie, as the candidate of the Whig party. Able, and ready in debate, we feel assured in saying to the Whigs of the District, that our principles will be well sustained.

The Convention assembled at 9 o'clock this Omming, pursuant to adjournment, shortly after whieh the President entered and called the Con- fMtion to order. The Rev, Mr. Atwood, of the Methodist hureh, opened the Convention with an appro- alate and eloquent prayer. | The minutes of yesterday’s proceedings were Hen read and adopted. Mr. ‘T. B. King. of Georgia, chairman of the OMm@itiee on credentials, then presented their port, Was, in substance, as follows: 1. That tes were present from all the Mates exce : ekas, and that their credentials ere sufficient. 2. That delegates had hee . inted by th Nate uf Texas, n appointed by the but that they had not yet reach. the city; and that, in conformity with the ‘Preas desire of the Whigs of ‘Texas, in case the’absence of their delegates, the delegates Lonisiana be empowered to represent that le in the ation. 3 That the delegates from the States that bot fully pagresenied be allowed to fill such cies, * | system that an attack.of Pneumonia which ensued eight paign where, the Whigs of Rowan and Davie will | be true" their principles and their country, I accept the nomiaation.

Jesse Rankin, respecting his School near Lexington, N.C. From the high charac- ter of which we have heard this School spoken, and from our personal knowledge of the qualifications of this gentleman as a teacher, we feel confident there is no School in this section of country more de- serving public patronage. Foundling.—A little fatherless respon- sibility was found this morning in the shop-yard of Mr. Wm. Overman, scream- ing and kicking in a most childish man- ner, Some person, as yet unknown, plac- ed it in a vehicle standing in the yard evidently with a design of abandoning it. From its appearance it is thought to be nev agg weeks old. It has, for the pre- t, been properly cared for by those who found it,.but must of course, become a County charge, unless its parents are dis- covered. sen ——— Died | Near Mount Harmony, Rowan County, on the 9th instant, WILLIAM RODGERS, aged about 30) years. In 1841, he connected himself with the M. urch, and continued a consistent member to the day of his death. He had been afflicted for 12 months with an en- largement of the spleen, which so deranged his whole days previous to his death, baffled all medical skill, and terminated his existence on earth. Whilst in the agonies of death, he was asked if he felt that his sins were forgiven, he replied in the affirm- ative, and that he was willing to die, and attempted to repeat the following beautiful verse : But Canaan’s land is just in view, Sweet spring is coming on; A few more beating winds and rains, And wintef will be gone. He was an excellent neighbor, a kind and affectionate husband and fathet; and has left a wife and three chil- . dren to mourn their irrgparable loss. But their loss is his eternal gain. : . M. ‘| of stating, that it Had been ratified by the cation of the Treaty of Peace by the Mexican of the Play by the Senate— =" , Vote: 83 to 4! We published fast giiek the news of the Ratification ofthe Breaty by the Mex- ican Chamberof Deputies, by a vote of 51-to 35. We nowhave the gratification Senate, by a vote of 83 to 4!!! We con- gratulate the country on a speedy resto- ration of Peace. The U, S. steamer Hetzel, arrived at New Orleans late on Saturday night from Vera Cruz, bringing the ratification of the adoption of the Treaty in the Senate, -by a vote of 33 yeas to4 nays—being almost unanimous. This vote was daken atgo’- clock P. M. on the 25:h of May. ° Major Graham was hourly expected at Vera Cruz with the ratitied treaty when the steamer Helzeb left, and one of the na- val steamers of the squadron was order- ed to be held in readiness to convey him to N. O. or Mobile, on his arrival at Vera Cruz. The English Courier, it was stated, started direct from Queretaro fur Vera Cruz imMediately after the ratification. Gen. Kearney (says the Free American of the 28th ult..) is ordered “to command in the city of Mexico, in place of Gen. Smith, who is to superintend the embar- kation of the troops. Gen. Patterson, it was said, would come down to Vera Cruz with Gen. Smith. | Great uneasiness was felt in the city of Mexico with regard to the menacing atti- tude lately assumed by the Indians. whose cries of “death to the whites—long live the Indlans !” were heard at a recent bull fight in the Plaza. A train of wagons, escorted by Lieut. Stead’s company, left Vera Craz on the 28th ult. for Jalapa. They were wagons Sent up to transport to Vera Cruz the sick and disabled soldiers who are now at Ja- lapa. City of Mexico, May 25, 1848. Eps. Detta: The officers and others who had been sentenced to be hanged on to day have heen respited by Gen. Butler, by a special or- der of the following substance : “The sentence of death, which has heen passed upon persons by Courts of the American Army, whether Americans or Mexicans, is hereby suspended until farther orders.” I am not aware what has influenced the com. manding officer in suspending the sentence of death upon the officers for the murder and bur. glary at No. 5, Calle de la Palma, but really it does seem to inany a very strange proceeding, and bas surprised the coumunity generally.— They were undoubtedly guilty of one of the grossest outrages ever perpetrated upon society, and have to some extent, stigmatized the corps and the Army to which they belonged, which could only have been wiped oat by blood, ina manner sanctioned by the laws of the country under which they bold commissions. Their trial was fair and impartial, and | have no hesi- lation in saying, that the Commission who tried and sentenced then, was the most able | have seen convened in the Army, The good citizens of Queretaro are going to give our Cotnmissioners a grand ball. The exchange of ratifications was to take place to-day. Gen.

All the outposts hav@ been ordered in to this city, Gen. Patterson’s Division being the first to move, will mareh for the coast. We will be hampered some with our sick, but this cannot be helped. as it would not do to leave those behind who are unable to travel.

The exchange of ratification will lake place in Queretaro, The Commissioners have full power to exchange there or here.

Vice Presidency, amid the most deafening cheers. none Alter the nomination was Mr. MeCuliough, of New Jersey, address- ed the Convention, and said that nomination of Gen. ‘laylor for ep oae dency was made on the free soil of New Jersey, on the Trenton battlefield. He therefore moved that the nominations be declared by the convention as onanimoas. Mr. Vance, of Ohio, seconded the mio- narrow passage, and escaped into the open air with no other injury than a coat somewhat torn. The national guards soon surrounded the hall, ejected the in- truders, and in the course of two hours after the Assembly organized. lt was evident that this movement was preconcerted ; but the intention to form a new Government has been frustrated. There doubtless will be alarms daily, con- sequent upon the threats of the disaffec- ted. Citizen Guinard told me that morn. ing at 9 o'clock that trouble was expect- ed—he was chief under Courtais of the national guard. But J think the mass of the nation are in favor of sustaining or- der, and supporting the present Executive and National Assembly.

During the fourth day's sitting of the 'Locofoco Convention, Dr. Ramsay,a Del- -egate from Tennessee, presented a letter from Mr. Polk. requesting hit to inform the Convention that he did not desire a renomination.

This supposition was. strengthened by what occurred when the letter was pre- sented, which is thus reported :— Mr. Ramsay of Tennessee said—I have | a letter from President Polk.

The most extraordinary portion of Se- cretary Marcy’s reply to General Scott, is that in which, alluding to the General’s complaint that the proper supply of «men and munitions were not afforded him, he tells him, in substance—*" You took the city; that is a proof that your complaints are groundless.” This kind of reasoning would make no allowance tor superior gevwerilship, nor for the courage and patience of the troops. It would tear the laurel from the skilful leader and his brave followers, who, with inadequate means, and entirely by the force of genius and courage, bad triumph. ed over obscacle otherwise deemed insur- mountable, It would reduce to mere com- mon-place affairs the most extraordinary campaigns that the world ever saw, Suc- cess is an infallible proof, it seems. that sufficient resources were afforded. Were the few hundred men with which Cortez overthrew a mighty empire such a force as a wise Administration would have deemed sufficient for such an enterprize ! Is not the success of the first Conqueror of Mexico still a theme of wonder to the whole world? And does not that wonder proceed alone from the fact that his re- sources were entirely inadequate to such atask! Was the capture of the city of Montezuma, and the destruction of his empire, a proof that the Conqueror was properly supplied from home ¢ To come tothe case of General Scott. The world is yet wrapt in admiration at his daring and successtul campaign a- gainst Mexico. And why? Had he been adequately supplied—had such resources asa prudent Administration would have placed at his disposal been furnished— had he been placed on the same footing with his enemy—would there have been any thing very extraordinary in his suc- cess?) Does he perform a very wonderful feat, who, with ample means, contrives to accomplish a given object?) Was it this which won for the campaign of 1796 in Italy the distinction, among military men, of having been the most remarkable on record! Why, anordinary General, with ample means, might have done the same thing. It is where the means are dispro- portioned to the end, that success denotes the great Commander, and calls down the admiration of the world. This it was that made all Europe regard Bonaparte with wonder, When he first burst upon their view, and this it is which now enlists the admiration of Christendem in favor of Gen. Scott. The Secretary, by leaving him to his own resources—by supplying him in a manner totally inadequate to the design in view—by thwarting him when- ever it was in his power—brought out the brilliant traits which dazzle the world, and made him the "Great Captain” of the age. And now, that he has triumphed in spite of every obstacle—now that he has, by the mere force of his own talents, worked his way to victory through obstacles ap- parently insurmountable—now that he has ' conquered a péace from nine millions of men, with a tdlibe not ten thousand strong —his very energy and genius are brought in judgment against him, and the world proof that he was amply supplied ! Let us examine two of the aost remark: able campaigns on record, and see how just this reasoning of the Secretary will prove to be, when tried by that standard. Inthe campaign of 1796-7, Bonaparte another, each of which was more than double his own force, and at least one of which was in the proportion of three to one. During all that time. the Directory not only sent him no reinforcements, ex- cept four regiments, bat even issued a de- cree forbidding him to list from among the Italians, soldiers to supply the gaps left in “his ranks by eighteen pitched battles, and more than seventy engagements. Like | the present Administration, that body was fearful of being eclipsed by a success!ul General. He triumphed, however, in spite | of neglect at home, and fierce resistance | \ abroad. What would the world say at this time, if the Directory bad had the un- blushing impudence to have said that ample supplies and reinforcements had ! been afforded him, and adduced his vic- tories in proof of the fact? Again: Any man who has read Na- pier’s Peninsular Campaigns, is aware of the difficulties with which the Duke of ginning. by the conduct of the ministry at home. The immense resources of the Brit- | ish Empire, both of men and money. were wasted on petty expeditions, while the General who commanded in that part, where alone the enemy was liable to a mortal wound, yas entirely neglected by the word-balancing. loud talking. phrase- choosing ministry, over which such men as Percival and Canning presided. At nny time, by abandoning positions which were of no service to the ultimate issue of the war, the British Army int insular might have been increased to 000 men, whereas it never reached ms ve Had the the hy part of that number. French forces been directed by one man of energy, the English General must have been overwhelmed, tor they were five or six to one. But they were divided in‘o seven different armies, commanded by men independent and jealous of each oth- er, Who could not be brought to uaite for is told that his success is a convincing | destroyed tive Austrian armies, one aller | Wellingion was beset. from the very be- | he Pened any purpose of utility.

The ] management was so wretched, that even Secretary Marcy would have been asham- ed of.it. But the genius of Wellington triumphed over it all, and he acquired a far higher reputation than he could have done had he been amply supplied. He succeeded in spite of allobstacles. What would the world have said, had the Eng- lish miniary, in reply to bis numerous complaints, pointed to Salmanca and Vic- toria and said, * these cuntute your mur- murs 7” : We protest agaiust that kind of reason- ing which takes trom a great General all his merits, and conlers them upon the min- istry at home; which makes his success an argument that he was furnished as he should be; which gives nu credit to his superior genius, and redeces him to the level of ordinary men. Tye injustice of such reasoning is as apparent in the case of General Scott as in that of any other person whatever. ‘Tosay thata General, who is expected to encounter fitty thou- sand regular troops, in a country which has not its like strong positions in the whole world—to overrun nine millions of people—to storm positions deemed im- pregnable—to keep up a line of commu- nication two hundred and fifty miles long and swarming with guerillas—to hold ci- ties of filty, sixty, and two hundred thou- |sand hostile inhabitants—is amply sup- plied when he has not fen thousand men whom he can bring in the field, isto offer a deliberate insult to the understanding. The success of the operation, with such inadequate means, is little less than a mir- acle, and while it places General Scott foremost among the Generals of the age. it is a subject of eternal reproach to this administration, that he should ever bave been placed in a situation so perilous, and requiring such high military talent to tri- umph over its difficulties. —Rich.

If, gentlemen, I possessed qualifications either by experience or otherwise, for the dis- tinguished position—as I am conscious I do not —the obligations that you have imposed on me would be far greater than they would deserve, and therefore do I consider my indebtedness to ou, at this time still the larger. The purpose for which you have assembled here from every part of the Jand, uniting in vising and executing such schemes as are ne- cessary to her prosperity aud happiness. der, wisdom and decorum should characterize our deliberations, and so sure as they do, suc- cess will attend them. [Applause.] We should yield. fellow-citizens, on this occa. sion, all our personal preference. Let us bring i nation to earry if on to victory. [ Applause. ] All we have to do is to select a standard. bear. re who will secure the hearty co-operation of vall sections of our country’s welfare. Let us have inscribed upon our banner “the prosperi- ty of our country.” [Applause.] It bas been asserted that ‘to the victors be. long the spoils.” Let us determine that we will be victors, and when victorious, if spoils we must bave, let them be the redemption of our country from her present embarrassed condi- tion, and replenishing her exhausted treasury, and restoring her to that flourishing and happy condition from which she bad fallen, Let us endeavor to spread over our laud industry, peace and plenty, which shall give to every Jaborer adequate employment and remunerating wages —which shall cause every sea to be whitened with the saila of our commerce—which shall make the produce of our teeming fields to spread plenty over our own land, enable our people to extend to others that bounty which a wise Pro. ividence bas bestowed upon us. [Great ap- plause.] Fellow Citizens—If our deliberations are conducted with that order and love of law which characterize the constituents who seut us here, we shall have little cause to fear for our event. val triumph, [Applause.] And it our spoils lhe such as [| have described, spoils which will bring prosperity to every door, and cause the i Jand to teem with the blessings of a wise legis- lation and well directed industry ; if, gentle- men, the results of your deliberations shall be (to restore to our Country peace, harmeny and | prosperity ; to restore to the constitution its vie- | Jated rights and powers, and to restore the ad. ministration of the laws of our country to its pristine purity, if such should be the effects: of your harmonious deliberations and your patriot. ic counsels, L shall deem it the proudest legacy that [ can bequeath to my posterity, that [ had the honor to preside over that council of sages whose deliberations produced these happy. re- sults.

A LITTLE FIGURING. Mr. Manly, in his speech at this place, says the Hillsborough Recorder, after discussing the questions as to who is responsible for beginning ithe war with Mexico, in which he made it ve. ry clear, as we think, that President Pulk is the person, indulged in a short colloquy on the ex- pense of the war and the mode of paying it, which, we presume, will be of interest to the | people, who, at last, will have to © foot the bill.” e spoke sometime after this manner. Assuming the expenses at $150,000,000. (a magerate estimate,) he found by calculation that North Carolina would have about $6,000,000 to pay for her share. The Democratic policy opposes a high tariff, so that the sum must be raised in the only other mode, viz: by direct taxation. Now let us see what each one will have to pay to the government.

The Vera Cruz Arco Iris of the 28th ultimo contains news from Yucatan tothe 13th of May, some days later than has heretofore been received. A letter of this date, from Merida, says: “ The troops of the canton of. Izamal have for the last few days equalled the expectations of the people, a8 they have defeated the insurgents with great slaugh- ter. Three hundreed men of various corps stationed in Sutpech, and assisted also by 200 of the light troops, twice on the 8th repelled the savages, who, more than 4.000 in number, attempted to possess themselves of the town. Here we see how easy it is to rout these hordes of barbarians, impelled only by their auda- city and the state of torpor into which we have fallen. Not content with this, be- cause one victory is always the precursor of another, they sallied out on the 9h to attack the insurgents in their own en- ments, . i “ The troops of Motul have also inflict- ed a great defeat upon the Indians, of which we have no particulars for want of oflicial reports. But it is certain that we have achieved another victory, on which we congratulate the public and ourselves.” FROM MEXICO. The steamer Waterwitch has arrived at New Orleans with Vera Cruz dates to the Ist instant, Among her passengers was Maj.

McCORKLE, WILLIE BEAN, Esq. THE WHIG NOMINEES. From all parts of the country, we re- ceive the most cheering news of the re- ception of the nominees of the Whig Con- vention for President and Vice President. Although many had their individual pre- ferences, yet a sense of the necessity—for decisive and energetic exertions being made to rid the country of bad Govern- ment, have united the Whig party as one man. Never, since the foundation of the Government has the truth of that toast given by Henry A. Wise, “ Union of the Whigs for the suke of the Union,” been more sensibly felt, than at this time. We wish not only to’ get clear of Polk and repair the injury done by him, but we most ardently desire to defeat the election of Cass, the avowed defender of all Mr. Polk’s unconstitutional course on all oc- easions, He (Cass) if elected, is pledged to pursue pretty much the same policy, and if he does, will embroil us in another expensive War. He is already pledged to go for more annexation, and the adimis- sion of millions of ignorant people to the rights and privileges now enjoyed by American citizens—which is the more to be deprecated, to say nothing of its uncon- Stitutionality, on account of the unfitness of this people, different from us in lan- guage and tveling to exercise the rights of freemen. These are some of the considerations which move the Whigs and all good citi- zens at this time, to oppose with might and main the election of this Federalist and modern Locofoco. In him the coun- try will have mothing calculated to pro- mote peace and happiness, and a liberal enlightened policy, so necessary to deve- lope its resources and make it what it is capable of being made. But all the old exploded humbugs, which for years past, have been adopted by the Locofuco party, will still be adhered to. We would say to all who desire the Government to be administered Constitu- tionally to range themselves under the ban- nerot Zacnary Taytor, and help to pour | grape in upon the motley ranks of Loco- locoism as the old Hero didwpon the Mex. | icansat the Battle of B Vista, and victory will perch upon our banners.

Cass’ father, Jonathan Cass, as also his grand-father, fought for their country, in the battle of Bunker’s Hill. This is doubtless true: Gen. Cass’ father was a thorough going Whig, and so continued to the day of his death. In- deed all his relations—brothers, brothers- in-law, &c., we understand are Whigs, and the old gentleman, the General's fa- ther, in speaking of his son Lewis’ poli- tics, has been often heard to say, “ Lewis ts a sad fellow.” With this view of his history he is enti- tled to no credit on account of the Whig deeds of his father—and we think the least said about it the better.

We are prepared to hear any number or any kind of charges against either Gen. ‘Taylor or Mr. Fillmore.— Who has forgotten their course towards Gen. Harrison, in 1840, and Mr. Clay in 1844?

GEO. M. WEANT, Ch’n. H. A. Jacoss. Sec. . Bied On the 17th instant, in Chester District, S. Carolina, Mrs. CHRISTINA FISHER, wife of the Hon. Charles Fisher, of this place, aged sixty years. She had gone to St. Augustine, Florida, last fall, and spent the winter with a beloved Aunt, hoping relief from that mild climate, and wae un her return hoine to die, accompanied by her beloved husband and daughter, when she became too weak to travel, and after two weeks of lingering, “ Jesus smiled and bid her come ” and resting upon her Redeemer’s boson, she “ breathed her life out sweetly there.” Her mortal remains were immediately brought on to this town, and on the 20th sorrowing and sympathizing friends, who with silent grief witnessed them deposited by the resting places of her parents and deceased children. The deceased had been for a number of years a mem- ber of the Evan. Lutheran Church, in this town, and was to her dying day, a bright ornament of the Christian Church. She adorned her profession by the daily prac- tice of every christian virtue. For the last two years, her zeal for religion was constantly on the increase, and she seemed to feel as if nothing else in life was of any real value except the love of God. Just before leaving St. Augustine, she was affectionately asked whether she prayed much. Her reply was,—‘ Oh, yes, constantly, prayer is my only stay and comfort, I could not live with- outit.” She had been heavily afflicted with disease for some years, yet she never complained—no murmur pass. ed her lips, but with amazing fortitude and christian pa- lience, she bore itall. She had learned to regard her afflictions as blessings. In one of the last letters she ever wrote, she says.—‘ I can truly say it is good for me that I have been afflicted.” She was constantly looking for her summons, and expressed a perfect willingness to depart and be with Christ, which was far better. She was pained by no regrets lingering‘'on her mind for ne- glect of past duties, and only lamented, that she could not have done more and better. In her latter years, she had thought so much on the end of life and eternity, that death had no terrors for her. Her chief concern as re- gards this world, was for the religious welfare of her fa- mily and friends. She received great comfort by the presence about her sick and dying bed, of all her imme- diate family, except one daughter, absent at a distant home, of whom she spoke most tenderly. Finally, the expected and to her, welcome summons came, and she departed in peace in the full triuinphs of an assured faith. “ How sweet the scene when christians die, When holy souls retire to resi.” Possessed of every grace that adorns and every quali- ty that elevates, we seldom see so perfect a model of how a huinan being should live, not a tore sublime example of how one should die. She was amiable in her dispo- sition, affable and unassuming in her manners, huinble and devoted as a chtigtian, exemplary in the discharge of every social and domestic duty, and an affectionate wife and mother. The silent but eloquent tears of her numerous relations and friends as they mournfully stood around the grave, clearly showed what a loss they had sustained in her death. May her example influence many of her surviving friends ; and may the God of all consolation offer richly that solace, which he alone knows best how to adminis- ter. (Com.

Be your purpose pure and hely— Good to man your object here ; And you ‘l! reach the height before you— Persevere !

THE DEAD SEA EXPEDITION. From the Norfolk Herald. The expedition under Licutenant W. F. Lynch, of the United States navy, author- ized by Government to explore the Dead Sea, liad reached its destination on the 23d of April, and was afloat on that sea, with boats launched, the weather mild, and all the party sate and well. Chateaubriand, to his admirable narra- tive of his travels in Greece Palestine, &e. gives us an tnteresiinug though provoking- Jy brief account of this great CUPIOSITY.— His visit to it was about lorty years ago, when a strong guard was necessary to} protect him from the Arabs who infested | its borders. He says: “Should the Turks ever again give permission, and should it be found procticable to convey a vessel from Jafia Lor Joppa] to the Dead Sea, some curious discoveries Would certainly be made in this lake.” Lieut. Lynch, we believe, is the first to Visit it under the authority of a foreign Government; and, being provided) with all things necessary for a thorough inves- ligation, we reasouably expect that he will realize M. Chateaubriand’s pronaie oi curious discoveries to the utmost de- gree of possibility, and inscribe his name at the bead of the long list of philosophers and tourists, anectent and modern, who have witten upon the subject. We subjom a tew extraets from the narrative of M. Chateaubriand. by way ol whetting the public curiosity for the re- port which is expected from Lieut. Lynch en his return to the United States. Jn bis approxch to the lake he savs: “We marched two hours with pistols In our hands, as in an epemy’s country. We fuilowed the fissures formed between the sand-lills, in mud baked by the rays | of the sun. from which a few stunted shrubs reared their beads. We arrived all at once at the Jahe; 1 say all at once, because 1]! thought we were yet a considerable dis: | tance fro it. breeze announced ihe approach to its mar- gin. The strand, bestrewed with stones, was hot; the waters of the lake were | motionless, and absolutely dead along the | shore. “The (est thing Pdidon alighting was to walk into the lake up to my knees, and to taste the water. [found it impossible to keep it in my mouth. of alum. this mineral.” Legions of small AGP teaped nbout the shore at right, which contradicts the opin- ! ion geneially entertained that the Dead Sea produces no living creature: In 1778 the water was analyzed by surface, snd PEEL ae be | Duchess was engaged upon some kind of : : », needlework, which, from its bulk and homely appearance, certainly did not pre- | 'sent any of the peculiarities of a lady’s | Up and down upon gravel | \ 1S" path before the long windows of the apart. | oO murmur, no cooling It far exceeds that of the sea saltness, and prodnces up: | on the lips the effect of a strong solution | Before my boots were com- pletely dry they were covered with salt; onr clothes, our bats, our hands, were in Jess than three hours impregnated with \ Lavoisier and others, who proved that one bundred , pounds six ounces of salt; that is, six pounds four ounces of common marine salt, and thirty-eight pounds two ounces of marine salt with an base.— Malte Brun ascertained the i v- ity to be 1.211. that of fresh wrter being 1,000. “It is (says he) perfectly transpa- rent. Reagents demonstrate in it the pre- sence of marine and sulphuric acid; it does not change colors. such as the turn- sol and violet. It holds in solution the following substances, and in the under- mentioned proportions : Muriate of lime 3.920 Magnesia, 10.246 Soda, 10,360 Sulphate of lime, 054 24.580 in 100. “This celebrated lake, (says M. Cha- Sodom and Gomorrah, is called in Serip- ture the Dead or Salt Sea; by the Latins and Greeks, Asphaltites ; Almotanah and Babar Loths by the Arabs; and Ula De- guisi by the Turks. I cannot coincide in opinion with those who suppose the Dead Sea to be the crater of a volcano. Ihave seen Vesusius, Solfatara, Monte Nuovo, in the Luke of Fusino,the peak of the Azores, the Mamelif opposite to Carthage, the ex- tinguished volcanoes of Auvergne, and remarked in all of them the same charac- ters ;.that is to say, mountains excavated in the form of a funnel. lava, and ashes, which exhibited incontestable proofs of the agency of fire. The Dead Sea, on the contrary, is a Make of great length, curved like a bow, placed between two ranges of mountains, which have no mu- tual coherence in form, no homogeneous- (ness of soil. They do not meet atthe two | extremities of the lake, but continue, the one to bound the valley of Jordan and to }:un northward as far as the Lake of Ti- i berias; the other to stretch away to the south till lost in the sands of Yemen.— | Bitumen, warm springs, and phosphoric stones are found, it is true, in the moun- tains of Arabia; but I met with none of ‘these in the opposite chain. But then, ithe presence of hot springs. sulphur, and asphaltos is not sufficient to attest the an- terior existence of a volcano. With re- | spect to the engulphed cities, ] adhere to the acconnt given in Scripture without summoning physics to my aid. Besides, it we adopt the idea of Professor Miche- lis and the learned Biisching, in his Me- moir on the Dead Sea, physics may be admitted in the catastrophe of the guilty cities without offence to religion. Sodom was built upon a mine of bitumen, as we know from the testimony of Moses and Josephus, who speak concerning wells of bitumen in the valley of Siddim. Light- ning kindled the combustible mass and the cities sunk in the subterraneous con- Hagration, .M. Malte Brun ingeniously suggests that Sodom and Gomorrah them- ' selves might have been built of bitumin- 'ous stones, and thus have been set in | flames by the fire of Heaven.” * * * “Several travellers, and among others Troilo and d’Arvieux, assert that they re- | marked fragments of walls and palaces in ithe Dead Sea. This statement seems to ‘be confirmed by Maundrell and Father 'Nau. The ancients speak more positive- ly on this subject : Josephus, who employs a poetic expression, says that he perceiv- ‘ed on the banks of the lake the shades of ‘the overwhelmed cities. Strabo gives a circumference of sixty stadia to the ruins ‘of Sodum, which are mentioned also by Tacitus. I] know not whether they still exist; but, as the lake rises and falls at certain seasons, it is possible that it may alternately cover and expose the skele- , tons of reprobate cities. | { | “LOUIS PHILIPPE AND HIS FAMILY.

I will not tell you the general impression which prevails on the royal household with regard to: the King, but it is sach as to make one re- gret that he met not his death on the threshold of the Tuileries, so that _bis body might not thus have@,outlived his soul !” A MECHANICAL CURIOSITY. We visited, a few days since, the es- tablishment of Mess:s. Crosset & Childs, on the Dock, one door below the Dock Hotel, for the purpose of witnessing the operation of their Stave Cutting Machine, of which we had previously heard much. It is but justice to say, that though we have no turn for mechanical art, yet we were surprised and pleased with the per- formance. The machine works by steam. The timber is first put into a vapor bath, and carried through a thorough course of steaming, until it is entirely satarated.— This has the effect of neutralizing the a- cids which exist in the green wood. The engine is high-pressure, and the bath is formed by the discharge from the esca, e pipe, which is received into a wooden trunk autside of the byilding in which the billets are placed. The timber, having been thoroughly steamed, is taken up, and placed upon a sort of platform, which moves perpendicularly up and down, with the motion of the engine. At the extreme end of it, and above, is fastened a very sharp blade, the edge being perpedicular to the platform. Whenthe plattorm moves up, the billet, being held by the hand, is brought into contact with the blade, and the force is so great that the staves are shorn off with as much ease as a piece of paperis cut with a pair of scissors. A board placed bebind the knife prevents the billet from protruding too far. and re- gulates the exact thickness of the stave. The sharpness of the knife and the pow- erful impulse given tothe platform by the operation of steam, prevent the staves trom tearing, and they all come out with a smoothness and uniformity which are quite surprising. The sap of the green timber having been taken out by the pro- cess of steaming, a few weeks exposure to the air has the effect of seasoning it as thoroughly as it could be done by the or- dinary process in months. The staves have an uniformity and smoothness which nothing but machinery can effect. The simplicity of the contrivance struck us, at first sight, as the most remarkable part of the whole. It seemed so natural, that though we were assured the inven- tor had spent five years in bringing it to its present state, we could not help won- dering why somebody had not thought of. it before. We learn that both the Messrs. Haxall and Mr. Warwick have tried the staves made by this machine, and pro- nounce them of the very first quality.— The proprietors have innumerable favor- able certificates. It is their object either | to sell machines of the same kind, or to | dispose of the patents by districts. as is common with such inventions. We should think it highly worthy of encouragement, and we advise all who have a taste for such things, to call and see.— Rich. Whig.

Le Roy’s Pillsare a new medicine which has Just appeared, and is fast taking the places of all others of the same class. These pills are composed of many ingredients, bat the two principal one are Sarsapa- | es, of all sizes. rilla and Wild Chérry, so united that they act together ; the one, through its admixture with other substances, pu- rifying and purging, while the other is strengthening the \ system. Thus those pills are at the same time tonic and | opening ; a desideratum Icng and eagerly sought for by | medical men, but never before discovered. In other | words they do the work of two medicines, and do it much | better than any two we know of ; for they remove noth- | ing from the systein but the impurities; so that while they purge they strengthen ; and hence they cause no de- bilitation,and are followed by no re-action. Dr Le Roy’s Pills have a wonderful influence on the blood ; they not only purify without weakening it, but they remove ail noxious particles from the chyle before its is converted in- flaid, and thus make impure blood an utter impossibi]- “ity. As there is no debilitation, so there is no nausea or medicines, which never sirains or tortures the digestive fanctions, but causes them to work in a perfectly natural | manner ; and hence persons taking them do lr | pale and emneiated, but the comtrary ; for while it is the property of the Sarsaparilla, united as it is with other in- gredients, to remove all that is impure, it is equally. property of the Wild Cherry to retain all that ie na and sound ; and hence a robust state of health ie the cer- tain reéult of their united operations.

The history of Millard Fillmore, our andidate for Vice President, affords a nseful lesson as showing what may be ac- omplished in the face of the greatest ob- stacles, by intellect, aided and controlled by energy, perseverance, and strict integ- ity, in a public and private capacity. His father, Nathaniel Fillmore, is the son of one of like name who served in he French war, and was a true Whig of ne Revolution, proving his devotion to his bountry’s cause by gallantly fighting as ieutenant under General Stark, in the battle of Bennington. He was born at Bennington, Vermont, in 1771, and early kn life removed to what is now called Summer Hill, Cayuga county, New York, where Millard was born, January 7, 1800. e was a farmer and soon after lost all bis property by a bad title to one of the military lots he had purchased. About the year 1802 he removed to the town of Sempronius, now Niles, and resided there till 1819, when he removed to Erie coun- ty, where he still lives cultivating a small IIe strong and uniform supporter of Jefferson, farm with his own hands. was a Madison and Tompkins, and is now a true Whig. The narrow prived Millard of any advantages of ed- } means of his father de- ucation bevond what were afforded by theimpertect Lilltaught common school of the county. Books were searce and dear, and atthe age of fifteen, when more 1y- lvanced their enjoying in colleges favored youths are fara in classical studies, or the benefit of young Fillmore had read but little except well furnished libraries, his common school books and the Bible. At that period he was sent into the then wilds of Livingston county, to learn the clothier’s trade.

At the age of 19 he fortunately made an acquaintance with the late Walter Wood, Esq., whom many will remember as one of the most estima- ble citizens of thatcounty. Judge Wood was a man of wealth and great business capacity ; he had an excellent law libra- ry, but-did little professional business.— He soon saw that under the rude exterior of the clothier’s boy, were powers that only required proper development to raise the possessor to high distinction and use- fulness, and advised him to quit his trade and study law. In reply to the objection of a lack of education, means and friends to aid him in a course of professional stu- dy, Judge W. kindly offered to give hima place in his othice, to advance money to defray his expenses, and wait until suc- cess in business should furnish the means of repayment. ‘The offer was accepted.

It was a common remark among the members, “if Fillmore Says it is right, we will vote for it.” The most important measure of a gen- eral nature that came up during his service in the State Legislature was, the bill to abolish Imprisonment for Debt.

Mr. Fillmore took an active part, urging with unanswerable arguments its justice and expediency. and, as a member of the ‘committee on the subject, aiding to per- fect its details. That portion of the bill relating to Justices’ Courts was drafted by him, the remainder being the work of the Hon. John C. Spencer. The bill met with a fierce, unrelenting opposition at every step of its progress, and to Millard Fillmore as much as any other man, are we indebted, for expunging from the stat- ute book that relic of a cruel, barbarous age, Imprisonment for Debt. He was elected to Congress in the fall of 1832. The session of 1833-4 will long be remembered as the one in which that system of politics, known under the comprehensive name of Jacksonism, was fully developed. stormy session of 1833-4, immediately succeeding the removal of the Deposits. In those days the business of the House and debates were led by old experienced members—new ones, unless they enjoyed a wide-spread and almost national repu- tation, rarely taking an active and con- spicuous part. Little chance, therefore, was afforded him as member of the oppo- sition, young and unassuming, of display- ing those qualities that so eminently fit But the school was one admirably qualified to him for legislative usefulness. more fully develope and cultivate those powers Which, under more favorable cir- to render such varied and important services to his cumstances, have enabled him country. As he has ever done in all the stations he has filled, he discharged his duty with scrupulous fidelity, never omit- ting on all proper occasions any effort to advance the and the country, and winning the respect and confidence of all. At the close of his term of service he resumed the practice of his profession, which he pursued with distinguished re- putation and success until, yielding to the public voice, he consented to become a candidate, and was re-elected to Congress in the fall of 1836—The remarks above made in relation to his service inthe 23d Congress will measurably apply to his se- condterm.

But with energy and devotion to the public weal, worthy of all admiration, Mr. Fillmore applied himself to the task, and sustained by a majority whose enlightened patriotism has rarely been equalled, and never surpassed, suc- ceeded in its accomplishment. The measures he brought forward and sustained with matchless ability, speedily fluence upon the country at large. A new) and more accurate system of keeping ac- counts, rendering them clear and intelli- gible, was introduced. The favoritism and peculation which has so long disgrac- ed the departments and plundered the Treasury, were checked by the requisition The credit of the Govern. ment was restored, ample. means were provided for the exigencies of the public service, and the payment of the National debt incurred by the former Adtministra- tion, Commerce and Manufactures reviv- ed, and prosperity and hope once more smiled upos the land. The Country has tuo recently emerged from the disasters of Mr. Van Buren’s Administration—it yet too keenly feels the suffering it then endured, and too justly appreciates the benificent and wonderful change that has been wrought to render more than an al- lusion to these matters necessary. The labor of devising, explaining and defend- ing measures productive of such happy results was thrown chiefly on Mr. Fill- more. Tle was nobly sustained by his patriotic fellow Whigs; but on him, ne- vertheless, the main responsibility rested. After his long and severe labors in the Committee room—labors sufficiently ar- duous to break down any but one of an iron constitution—sustained by a spirit that nothing could conquer, he was re- quired to give his unremitting attention | to the business of the House, to make any : explanation that might be asked, and be ready with a complete and triumphant | refutation of every cavil or objection the ‘ingenious sophistry of a factious minority took a more aetive part than he did du. “@s'y 1 | ‘of its vigor, are brought under control of | ring his first term, and on the assembling of the next Congress, to which he was. re-elected by a largely increased majority, what, next to that of Ways and Means, it was justly anticipated would become the most important committee of this [louse—that on elections. It was in this Congress that the famous contested New Jersey case came up. brief biographical sketch to too great a length to enter upon the details of that case, and it is the less necessary to do so inasmuch as the circumstances of the gross outrage then perpetrated by a party calling itself republican, and claiming to respect State rights, must yet dwell in the recollection of every reader. The prominent part of which Mr. Fill- more took in that case, his patient inves- tigation of all its complicated, minute de- tails, the clear convincing manner in which he set forth the facts, the lofty and indignant eloquence with which he de- nounced the meditated wrong, all strong- ly directed public attention to him as one of the ablest men of that Congress, dis- tinguished as it was by the eminent abil- ity and statesmanship of many of its mem- bers. Public indiguation was awakened by the enormity of the outrage, and in that long catalogue of abuses and wrongs which roused a jong suffering people to action, and resulted in the signal over- throw of a corrupt and insolent dynasty in 1840, the New Jersey case stood mark- ed and conspicuous, On the assembling of the next Congress, to which Mr. Fillmore was re-elected by a majority larger than was ever before wiven in his district. he was placed at the head ot the committee on Ways and Means. The duties of that station, al- ways arduous and responsible, were at that time peculiarly so’ A new Adgin- istration had come,into power, and found public affairs ina state of the greatest derangement. Accounts had been wrong- ly kept, peculation of every kind abound- ed in almost every department of the Go- vernment, the revenue was inadequate to meet the ordinary expenses, the already large and existing debt was rapidly swell- ing in magnitude, commerce and manu- factures were depressed, the currency was deranged, banks were embarrassed and general distress pervaded the community. To bring order out of disorder, to replen- ish the National Treasury, to provide means that would enable the Government to meet the demands against it, and to pay off the debt, to revive the industry of the country, and to restore its wonted pros- ‘mind capable of descending to minute he was assigned a prominent place on details, as well as conceiving a grand } system of national policy, calm and de- fluent in debate, of dignified presence, ne- could devise. All this, too, was required | to be done with promptness, clearness, dignity and good temper. For the per- | lt was but ano- | formance of these varied duties, few men ther step towards the practical repudia- , are more happily qualified than Mr. Fill- | more.

Confident, however, that he could command the strongest vote in New York, the Whigs again selected him as their. candidate for Comptroller, in 1847, and succeeded in electing him by an unprece- dented majority. Such was the boy, and such is the man | whom the Whigs present as their candi- date for Vice President. In every station in which he has been placed he has shown himself * honest, capable and faithful to the Constitution.” Ie is emphatically one of the people. For all that he has and is, he is indebted under God to his own exer- tiags. Born to an inheritance of compar- ae poverty, which now, thanks to Whig policy, are enjoyed by the humblest in the land, he struggled bravely with difficul- ties that would have appalled and crushed a less resolute heart. Nobly has he won his laurels, and long may he live to enjoy them. The Course of Mr. Webster.—This dis- tinguished Statesman has consented to at- tend the great Ratification Meeting which was to be held at Baltimore yesterday, and make a speech in favor of Taylor and Fillmore. What a rebuke is this to the two factionists who went into the Convention from Massachusetts as Mr. Webster’s friends, and then refused to a- bide by the decision of the majority ! Checring.—The National Intelligencer of Friday last says,— “ We have now heard from about one half of the Union, and, beside the New York “ Tribune,” which hesitates but does not wholly refuse to concur in the nomi- nations, we have as yet seen but one Whig journal which does not express a determination to sustain them, heart and_ hand. ‘Yo this determination we have no doubt that the whole Whig press and party will eventually come.” \ ¢ liar situation; and as various gentlemen ' we part. | wholly unexpected by us. id to see if it was still the true Whig ban- _ hands. -end of the nation to the other. wn ain ete $e a ec r e ran en e M S tee a _ oe aN sy = SESE ed Governor Morehead’s closing Address at | the Whig National Convention.

In.1840 the Whigs of North Carolina unfurled the free standard of Henry Clay in that State, and sent his name to the Harrisburg Convention ; but the Whigs of that Convention, the repre: sentatives of the entire Union, sent back to us that standard inscribed with another name,—that of William ET.

It was the Whig ban- ner, and, as such, it was placed in my For five months this hand bore that banner through North Carolina, until in the succeeding August, North Carolina, a slave State, fired the first gun of that volley which shook Democracy from one , Its re- echoes resounded from State to State throughout the entire Union, until the great triumph was achieved.

North Caro- | lina, though she lost the nomination of her , first choice, Henry Clay, soon raised on every hill-top the banner of Harrison. In one location where a tall pole had been erected, with the name of Harrison nailed to the mast, a solitary stranger was seen riding past it; attracted by its inscription, he stopped, elevated his eye, and seeing the Whig principles inscribed thereon, doffed his beaver, and saluted them with three hearty solitary cheers! Nor do | despair before fall that in Ohio will also- be seen solitary Whigs cheering the ban- ner of Zachary Taylor.

His sun is a- bout to set, and | trust his latest hours may be gilded and brightened by our suc- cess, which, like the bow of promise, will betoken the spread of peace and prosper- itv around our land. I have voted for Henry Clay because no man is more largely identified with the glory of our country than he is. No administration could add a particle to his undying fame ; no honors could add to his treasure heap! But I yield to this Convention ; yield him | cheerfully, and, for the future, no man can go more heartily than I will tor the Hero of Buena Vista.

We could not begin to give the hun- dredth part of an idea of the enthusiasm and joy which hails the nomination of the late Whig Convention, if our paper was_ double its present size. Every day cons vinces us more and more that Taytor and Fittmore will be elected by a majority. even exceeding that of Gen. Harrison.— | A tremendous ratification meeting was held in Richniond (Va.) last week, from. which we are led to believe that even “the old Dominion,” the mother of Wash- ington, Jefferson. Madison, Monroe, Clay and Taylor, will in November relent her false position, and take the stand which all of these her distingushed sons would now occupy,-we verily believe, if they were living, viz: in the rank of the great | Whig party. John Kerr, Esq., of this State, we observe was present at the mee- ing in Richmond, and according to the —* Times,” succeeded in an eloquent and sarcastic speech, chiefly devoted to Gen. Cass’s calumny upon the Whig party in his letter accepting the Baltimore nomi- nation; where he makes the unwarrant- | able charge that the Whig party denies the principle of self-government. A Voice from Funeuil Hall! The Grand Ratification Meeting in the Old Cradle of Liberty, Boston, was wor- | thy of the best days of that time honored sanctuary. The “ Atlas” says: Never have we witnessed so large and over- whelming an assemblage—never have we seen a more enthusiastic, a more glo- rious, a more patriotic gathering of the whole-souled Whigs of Boston, than that | which met last night in Faneuil Hall, to respond with a loud and heartfelt acclaim | to the nomination of Taylor and Fillmore. We have witnessed many a mighty ga- thering within her hallowed walls. We have seen assemblages which we never expected tosee equalled, oreven approach- ed in enthusiasm and zeal, still less ever. tobe exceeded. But the Ratification meet- ing of last evening, far surpasses anything we ever knew before. Words are inade- quate to describe—language cannot do justice to the enthusiastic, overflowing and pervading devotion to the cause, of the mighty multitude that sought, many thousands of them unable to tind, room Within “its capacious walls. It was by far the largest and most spirited assem- hlage that has been known, since Fanueil Hall has gathered her sons within her sa- cred walls. The meeting was called at 8 o’clock, but long before that time the People be- gan to pour into the Hallin vast numbers, | and when the time for the assembly to organize came, both floor and galleries were as closely packed as was possible. Hundreds, and even thousands, sought in vain for admission, and had Fanueil Hall been three times as capacious, it could hardly have held them all. Cheer upon cheer given, in the heartiest and most enthusiastic manner. made old Fanueil Hall ring again. We have not Witnessed such enthusiasm since 1840, and never, even then, did we see it equal— led. It was, indeed, a most glorious and feral, if not universal satisfaction soul stirring occasion—one long to be re— membered, and one that cannot fail to be | felt and to create a responsive echo throughout our whole Commonwealth.

It is with a feeling of heartfelt sickness that we publish these proceedings—a feeling-of sor- row and indignation. ‘The ballotings for the candidates,—the compromises,—the speeches of patriotic office-hunters,—had prepared us for a different result. ‘The instructions under | which the delegates from Southern States ap- peared in the Convention, and their remarkable unanimity_in favor of the nominee elected, had. deceived us in the impression that a distinct acknowledgment of Trutu and of Rient was to be made. It will be seen that it was as dis- tinetly refused. The delegates from Virginia, Alabama,-and | Florida, were instructed by the State Conven- ‘tions to sipport under no political necessity, | whatever, any candidate who refused to ac. | knowledge the equality of the States, and the | right of any man to remove with his: property into any Territory of the Union. In this they merely ask an acknowledgment of that which up to the time of the present war with Mexico had never been denied. But with the acqui- |_ sition of new soil, the elements of Abolitionism ‘had entered into politics, and the Southern | States found themselves thfeatened with a di- | We, therefore, claimed of the democratic party a distinct and unequivocal acknowledgment of these rights. Our delegates have presented ‘this claim and it has been refused. Was there any thing extravagant in our de- inand? Did we ask from the Northern De- mocracy more than protection of our property 7 _ Did we ask to deprive them of one ivta of their privileges, or of their rights ? We asked for the ennunciatjon of a funda. mental truth, and in its place they have given us a resolution on slavery, in substance, iden. | tical with that adopted by the previous conven. | 'tion,—a resolution that means everything, and anything, and nothing at all. Southern dele. gates had the audacity to declare that they were satisfied with it, and that it embodied the doc. trine we advocate. If so, why did they not vote and insist upon the adoption of Mr Yan. i cey’s resolution, if. it contained no more than ‘that passed by the convention. Policy !—Policy !!—Policy !!!—The subtile course which sacrifices a real good for an ap. | parent one! The cunning which looked only to President-making and office-getting, aud fur- got the dearest interests at home ! _ We do not blame the delegations from the free States, for they had nothing at stake. But | we denounce the pitiful conduct of those Soutb- ern men who sacrificed the whole South to their miserable self-interests. Had they only done their duty, this crushing Llow would bave been true to itself and unfurled its banners for anoth. er viclory. * * * * * * * We have then been betrayed hy our dele. gates, and our only trust in man rests upon the ‘true opinion of General Cass, the democratic nominee. It may be that the Whig Conven. tion will nominate a more objectionable candi- date. But untess this be the case, and unless Gen. Cass distinctly avow sentiments that will enable us to support: bim with heart and soul, he can never receive the vote of this State. A State Convention will undoubtedly be call. ed to receive the Report of our delegates. We have every confidence in the fidelity and sagaci- ty of the’ Democrats of Florida, and they will not falter in the trying position in which they ‘are placed. We await their decision with in- tense anxiety. | The following is an extract of the speech of | Mr. Yancey, of Alabama, in the National Dem- /ocratic Convention : | Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, | Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Ar- | kansas, Missouri, Hlinvis, Indiana, Michigan, are democratic. plicit avowal of adhesion to our constitutional tights?) 1 know South Carolina—her people —her statesmen—their principles and feelings. | Her delegate here—I say it, as he knows, with kindness and respect—has assumed a fearful ‘responsibility in giving her votes to Gen.

If you pass a rigid set of hizh-toned principles, there is but a bare possibility that South Carolina may vote for the nominee. If she does not, you will be reduced to 140 votes, or six less than the num. _ber required to elect your man. Will Georgia vote fur your ticket? At best, her political po- sition is a doubtful one. Never, I believe, has her gallant democracy been able to carry that State twice in succession. Like the Irishman and the log, she is as often underneath as on the top ; and when she triumphs, is so wearied by the conflict, as often to be unable to enjoy the fruits of vietory. Without an avowal of this principle, I believe you cannot rely upon Georgia. If so, you are reduced to 130 elec. toral votes. Will Florida vote your ticket? | know her principles by heart. 1 know her _high-toned delegates. | with an avowal of such, that if he accepts, | Florida will have some assurance that ber rights _ Will be safe in his hands. ** As to Alabama, I have some right to speak.

No two events occasioned a more eral burst of stormy indignation throu out the whole country than a propos!!™ to supersede General Taylor with a Li” tenant General, and the vote of ce” on him for the terms granted to the Mes icans at Monterey; and yet for bot? | these measures General Lewis Cass: | candidate of the party who claim all ' honor and glory of the war. and who *! matize the Whigs for “giving «id comfort to the enemy,” voted— voting get | | tectly for the censure, and indirec! :the Lientenant General Bill. diy fot Phe object of Mr. Pulk was-teo evident o be mistaken. General Taylor's astoun- ding successes with inadequate forces had ated a feeling throughout the country vhich had never been equalled since the Jays of Washington. The people en asse rose to honor him, and Whigs and Democrats in the North, South, East and est, declared that nothing short of the highest office in the gift of the country vas an adequate reward for such bril- iant services. The party in power be- same alarmed—General Taylor’s fast in- breasing popularity threatened their ten. re of the loaves and fishes. The war was not ended, and if the O!ld General were permitted to win more battles, noth- brag but death could keep him out of the Presidential Chair. They, therefore, de- ermined to supersede him with one of their own kidney, and drive him out of the service by the insult, or keep him 0 do the fighting, while Lieutenant Gen- ral Thomas H. Benton—whose only nowledge of battles was derived from is street fights with General Jackson— might claim the glory and honor, and se- ure it for the Democracy. Polk says: omes indispensable. Under the circumstan. es of our service, a peculiar propriety exists or increasing the officers, especially in tbe ighest grades. The number of such officers who, from age or other cuuses, are rendered in- apable of active service in the field has serious. ly impaired the efficiency of the Army. * From the report of the Secretary of War, it appears that ahout two thirds of the whole regi- ental field officers are either permanently dis- bled, or are necessarily detached from their ommands on other duties. ‘The long enjoy- nent of peace has prevented us from experienc- ing much embarrassment from this cause ; but now, tn a state of war, conducted in a foreign country, it has produced serious injury to the ublic service. * An efficient organization of the army, com. posed of regulars and volunteers, whilst prose- | In the message upon this subject, Mr. | “ Additional officers, as well as men, then be- cuting the war in Mexico, it is believed, requires | the appoin'!ment of a general officer tu take com. mand of all our forces in the field. “TL recommend that provision be made by law for the appointment of such a general ofh. cer, to serve during the war. “Tt is respecttully recommended that early ction should be had by Congress upon the sug- restions submitted for their consideration, ne- essary to ensure efficient service in proseculing the war, before the present favorable season for military operations in the enemy’s country shall have passed away.” Here is a charge of incapacity insinuated avainst Gen, Taylor and other othcers at the ery time when the country resounded with huz.- zas3 Of@r his victories, and when the Democra- cy were congratulating themselves on the suc. cess of their war. The following were the proceedings in the Senate on the subject : Jan. loth, 1247.—* The bill to appoint a a Lieutenant General to command the Army of political sentiments, and from that com- | : gle grain. ‘This is the largest cluster of stalks the U. States, during the war with Mexico, came up, in its order, for consideration, as in committee of the whole.” Mr. Badger, who was entitled to the floor, spoke at length, in opposition tothe bill. When Ihe had concluded— “Phe President stated that the bill was still Dpett to amendment.” No Seuator, however, rose to claim the floor, and after a pause, the bil was reported to the Senate, and the question was stated to be on ils pngrossment for a third reading, Mr. Mangum rose and said— Mr. President, | move that this bill be laid Dn the table.

So the bill was laid on the table. [Cong. Globe, 2d Session, 29th Cong. page 187. Here it was distinctly stated that the vote on the motion to lay the bill on the table was a Test vote. Ifthe motion to lay on the table failed, the bill would pass, and yet we find Gen. eral Cass voting against the motion to lay on the table. He had been a soldier himself, and though not one of much note, he might have been sup- posed so far to have the feelings of a soldier as o have felt a soldier’s sympathy for one placed in Gen. Taylor’s situation, But no such gen- €rous emotion animated his bosom. ‘The cold and selfish policy of a politician by trade prompt. ed him to strike down a gallant old man in the ery midst of a career the most honorable to bis country. A proposition more infamous, ore insulting tothe people of the United States nd to their gallant Army in Mexico was nev. er made, and yet the people, thus insulted, are sked to reward the men who insulted them by aking him their President. Will they do Bt?) «An indignant -Vo, resounding throughout he natry next November, will be the answer 0 1h€ question. But this was not the only effort of Gen. Cass 0 degrade Gen. Taylor. When a resolution of thanks to Gen. Taylor or his unparalleled victory at Monterey was in- roduced into the House of Representatives, Mr. Thompson of Mississippi, offered the ful- owing amendment, which was adopted by a party vote : “Provided, That nothing herein contained, shall be construed into an approbation of the terms of capitulation of Monterey.” When the resolution, with this censure on Gen. Taylor, reached the Senate, Mr. Speight, of Mississippi, rising above the filth of party, moved to strike the censure out, so as to leave he resolution an unqualified vote of thanks ; and bn this motion the yeas and nays stood as ful- lows : Yeas—Mesers.

It will be seen by the notice of appoint- ments published in this paper, that Mr. Manly proposes to meet his fellow-citi- | zens of Rowan, inthis Town on the above day. Mr. Reid, his opponent, will also be here on that day ; and our folk, Whig and | Democratic, will then have an opportuni- | ty of comparing the two men; and as. they will address the people, they will al- | so have an opportunity of comparing their parison, to make up their minds which of | the two, duty to their country requires they should support, for the high office of Governor of the State. It will be an in- teresting occasion, and if the weather should be propitious, will ensure the at- tendance of a multitude. Let every Whig in the County afford himself the gratifica- tion of hearing the Speeches; and by to our Democratic friends, we would mention that Mr. Reid, way of inducement their candidate, has a new tissue, or anew proposition, to submit to them on the sub- ject of voting, which he terms free suf- frage. we wish that every man in the County may hear it, and also hear Mr. Manly’s | treatment of the same.

It is a mere hobby, of course, but, > DZ We understand that at Craige’s | Muster Ground last Saturday, that the | Candidates of the Locotoco party like Mr. Reid, mounted the free suffrage hobby, and appeared determined to make it a party question. We are quite willing that they | should make itsuch. They will find, that the people are not so easily led away by | this new humbug as they suppose. Every | man of common sense knows that it should not be made a party question, but that it | is one in which the whole State is in- terested—and one, too, they are not yet quite ready to risk in the hands of Locofo- co Doctors! It is but the first dawn of Dorrism in the Old North State, which we trust, will be as summarily silenced as it has been unceremoniously sprung upon the Law-loving people of our good old Commonwealth. THE CAMPAIGN BEGUN. On Saturday last, the campaign com- menced in this County. All the candi- dates were present, we understand, and made known to the people for what offi- ces they appeared before them as being desirous to fill. So far as we can discov- er, those present of the Whig party, were very much elated with the appearance of things—seeming to be confident, of elect- ing our whole ticket, with proper exertion. — We have, ourselves, been for some time of of the opinion, that this will be done,— having heard many, who have heretofore, been instrumental in the election of Mr. Ellis, the only Locofoco ever elected in our County, say they could not support | him again.

This was thought by many, who were not in- formed on the subject, to be a desirable object, and consequently voted for him.— Well, the Legislature met, and during the whole session, not a word did Mr. Ellis say towards redeeming this promise, ex- cept introducing a resolution giving to . | the county the money to be used as might be deemed most compatible with the j terests of the people, which he immedi. Why was this?) Was it because he found out when he got to Raleigh, that the money could not be used for any other object ? Such cannot be the case.

More Sheaves.—Last summer we published a little paragraph from the Racine Advocate, boasting of a * sheaf of wheat,” from one grain, raised on the farm of Col. Philo White, num. Mr. Berry Foster, of Davie, soon afterward informed us that he had gathered from his farm, a sheaf, the product | of one grain, numbering 97 heads. On yes- terday we heard from Mr. Foster again, through astonishing yield of 135 full heads from a sin.- and heads, but there was one other of 130, an- other of 110, and a number of others from 90 to 100.

Pp Le Roy's Piisare a new medicine which has Justappeared, and is fast tang the places of al others of the class. "These pills are composed of many ingredients, but the two principal one are Sarsapa- rilia and Wild Cherry, so united that they act together ; the one, through its admixture with other substances, pu- rifying and purging, while the other is strengthening the system. ‘Thus those pills are at the same time tonic and a desideratum Icng and eagerly sought for by men, but never before discovered. In other words they do the work of two medicines, and do it much better than any two we know of ; for they remove noth- ing froin the system but the impurities; so that while they purge they strengthen ; and hence they cause no de- » bilitation,and are followed by no re-action. Dr Le Roy’s Pills have a wonderfal influence on the blood ; they not only purify without weakening it, but they remove all noxious particles from the chyle before its is converted in- to fluid, and thus make impure blood an utter impossibil- ‘ity. As there is no debilitation, so there is no nausea or r opening ; { o SB) } « inedical manner ; and hence persons taking them do uot become pale and emaciated, but tne contrary ; for while it is the , property of the Sarsaparilla, united as it is with other in- | gredients, to remove all that is impure, it is equally the property of the Wild Cherry to retain all that is natural ; and sound ; and hence a robust state of hea!th is the cer- tain result of their united operations.
