Bunt, Esgq., of the city of New York, on his course as a Delegate to the recent Whig Na. = tional Convention, together with an er-- position of the benefits which will result to the country from the elevation of Gen- eral Zacwary ‘l'ayior to the Presidency of the United States. TO THE PUBLIC. I perceive from a report in some of the ew York papers of the proceedings of n meeting of the Whigs of that city, con- ened in the Park on the 16th instant, N. B. Blunt, Esq., (one of ihe delegates to he recent Convention at Philadelphia) ook the liberty of introducing my humble ame to the consideration of the meeting, ceompanied with the imputation of a ant of fidelity on my part as a member the same Convention to the trust re- hosed in me by the Whigs of Connecticut. n one of the papers alluded to, Mr. Blunt $ reported as follows: “Look at your sister of Connecticut.— One of her delegates, who has filled high office in her gift, and who is about to en- er upon a still more exalted position be- fore the nation, was elected and instructed o cast his vote for Henry Clay. He came into that Convention with the name of Henry Clay on his lips, but with all his energies predetermined to defeat him.— This, fellow-citizens, was his conduct, and though | have no personal injuries to re- dress, | feel that I have a right ‘to hold the mirror up to nature, to say whether this man deserves well at the hands of his constituents.” It has ever been with me a rule not to take any notice of the scandal or abuse, {rom whatever quarter it may come, as am of the opinion that a public man had better Jive down all such attacks, and if he has not character enough to do so, he should seek immunity therefrom in retire- ment and obscurity. If | make the pre- sent case an exception to that rule, it will not be on personal grounds—it will not be because | have the slightest idea that here is any occasion to vindicate myself befor@tthe Whigs of Connecticut, but be- cause such charges tend to bring the Con- vention itself into disrepute. the proceed- ings of which were, as | think, character- ized throughout by a spirit of fairness, moderation, impartiality, and rectitude. 1 have not the honor of a personal acquaint- ance with Blunt, but I am free to confess that all I have learned of his standing as an eminent lawer, and of his character as a good reliable Whig, has been adapted to inspire me with respect. I do not there- ore desire, and shall not enter into any controversy with him, but shall content myself with stating plainly the facts of he case, and shall leave him to repent at is leisure of the injustice which he has done to a fellow member of the Conven- tion, who claims no other position than hat of being his equal, with the right to onsult his own sense of duty, and to be guided by his own convictions of what (in he very difficult and trying circumstan- es in which the Convention was placed) awas best adapted to promote the good ol he country and the success of the Whig party. In answer to the unceremonious and unwarrantable use which has been made of my name, and to imputations from whatever quarter they may come, submit the following remarks: 1. It is not true, as alledged by Mr. Blunt, that I was elected to the Conven- tion and instructed to vote for Henry Clay. ] was a member of the State Convention which convened in New Haven last tall, and which appointed the delegation to the National Convention, consisting of Messrs. Rockwell, Stuart, Babcock, Trumbull, White, and myself, and no instructions whatever were given to the delegation. It is not the practice of the Whigs of Con- necticut to commit their delegates in ad- vance; but it is, and ever has been, ex- pected and desired that they should go into the National Convention untrammel- led and prepared to enter into a full and free consultation with their brethren from other sections of the Union, and then do what they shall think just and right un- der all the circumstances of the case.— Such is my sense of the evils of a packed Convention that I would not accept of a seat in such a body instructed to vote for any man. 2. It is not true that I went into the Convention with the name of “ Henry Clay on my lips, but with all my energies predetermined to defeat him.” On the contrary, I was well assured, from all I knew of the composition of that body, that he would in no event get a nomina- tion. I was, in fact, desirous that he should receive as large a vote as possible, as an expression of the high appreciation of his talents and public services which all good Whigs entertain, and as an alle- Viation in some degree of a result adverse to his claims, which I considered inevita- ble. leven now regret that the Ken- tucky delegation did not feel it to be their duty to cast a unanimous vote in his fa- vor. for reasons that must be obvious.— Bat ‘all my energies were predetermined’ to ensure the nomination of Gen. Taylor, as between him and some other candi- detes, not because | did not entertain the utmost respect for such candidates, but simply because I thought we should best subserve the interests of the country by patting forward, in the present conjunc- ture, the name of Gen. Taylor. When ] Speak of other candidates, | must not bz Two Dortars—payable in| d in advance, Two dollars | r the first, and 25 cts. | A liberal dedac- SMITH, | | | BRUNER & JAMES, | !

C., THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1848. whom, permit me to say, that the people of the United States would have honored ‘themselves, and have rendered our free ‘institutions illustrious, if they had made him President long ago. It is true the 'name of Henry Clay bas often been on | my lips, but it has ever been in accents of praise and admiration; such was the fact _in 1844, when I devoted almost an‘entire year in co operation with friends to res- cuing our Commonwealth from the hands _of the opponent, and in giving him the electoral vote of Connecticut. I claim to _be a much truer friend of Mr. Clay than | tain Whigs of the city of New York were less in the habit of maligning the motives and traducing the conduct of the Whigs of other parts of the country, they would have more influence in giving a direction to public affairs. From this exposition I think it is mani- fest that Mr. Blunt, “in holding the mirror up to nature.” has placed it in false lights, and has reflected a distorted image ; and, in view of the facts stated, I fearlessly submit my course in the Convention to the scrutiny of all honorable and upright men. ] have acted openly and, avoiding ultra- those who have so unadvisedly urged him | ism and violence on the one hand, | hope into the field when there was little proba- | my conduct on the other has been charac- bility that he could be nominated, and less | terized by the independence and firmness that he could be elected if nominated. 3. It is well known here, and I believe throughout Connecticut, that, having giv- en the entire subject a full and a most anxious consideration, I early in the pre- sent session came to the conclusion that we could with more certainty put down the present Administration, and promote the success of the Whig cause, under the auspices of Gen. Taylor, than by using the name of any other of the distinguish- ed men who have been brought before the public in this connexion. Nevertheless, I have said on all occasions that I would not. as a delegate to the Convention, act on my own private opinions, but would co-operate with the other delegates from Connecticut in an effort to obtain such a result as we might, on consultation, deem to be best. 4. When the delegation assembled at Philadelphia for consultation, in advance of the deliberations of the Convention, my opinions were favorable to Gen. Taylor, _ which all should possess who desire to be of any use to the country. Dismissing, then, this subject, which I shall not be surprised to find regarded as of little moment, I seize the occasion to give a brief exposition of the benefits which I conceive will result to the coun- try from the elevation of General Zachary Taylor to the Presidency. I anticipate from such a consummation— 1. An essential alleviation of the acer- bity and violence of party spirit, which has been running to extremes for many years past, and which has produced noth- ing but evil to the country, and that con- tinually. 2. A more moderate and reasonable action on the part both of Congress and the Executive, in establishing a policy in reference to all essential interests, in | which all good men, if not perfectly sat- isfied, can acquiesce. 1 wish to see pub- lic men disenthralled, in some degree, from the iron rule of party, and placed in a con- and the grounds on which those opinions | dition to act freely according totheir own are based, were fully stated to my co-del- | conscientious convictions of right and du- egates; but, at the same time, ] avowed | ty.

Taylor would have received, if necessary to his nomination, (Mr. Clay being out of the question,) two more votes from Connecticut. I believe the same thing is true of some delegates from other States who voted for Mr. Clay to the last. 6. I entertain the utmost respect for and confidence in the Whigs of the city of New York; but it must be recollected that 1 went into the Convention not as. their agent, but as the representative of the Whigs of Connecticut. 1 thought my- self a free man, acting for the free Whigs of a noble State, in a perfectly free Na- tional Convention, with no obligations to Mr. Blunt except those of courtesy and respect. In that character I did not deem myself a mere automaton, but a reasona- ble being, in duty bound to act fairly and candidly towards all, but with liberty to exercise an honest judgment as to the best means to be selected to accomplish an object which all good Whigs desire. I am supported in the course which [| pur- sued by conscious rectitude ; and through “evil report and good report” I shall pur- sue “the even tenor of my way,” paying» no more attention to denunciation, from— whatever quarter it may come, than I would to “the idle wind.” I am not at all apprehensive of having incurred the resentment, either of Mr. Clay or my own constituents.

I regard this as an object of paramout importance. No man is better qualified than Gen. Taylor to sieze with a firm grasp the spirit of war which unhappily infests the American people (the great besetting sin of all re- _ publics.) and to hold it effectually in check. most abhorence of war, and that he will be the resolute friend of peace, I know. I hope I shall be excused for presenting here an extract from a letter which I had the honor to receive from Gen. Taylor, dated at Baton Rouge, on the 4th of March last : “] need hardly reply to your concluding inquiry. that ] am a peace man, and that ] deem a state of peace to be absolutely necessary to the proper and healthful ac- tion of our own republican institutions.

Taylor, - ment by declaring— “That the joy and exultation of the ded by feelings of poignant sorrow and pain; and that war. after all, was a great calamity, and his the greatest glory who could terminate it.” General Taylor has on other occasions avowed similar sentiments ; they do him much honor. He will resist the lust of dominion and the passion for acquisition which marks so distinctly the character of the American people, and which is fraught with more peril to our free insti- tutions, and the perpetuity of our glorious Union, than any other cause whatever. There will be no danger of the annexa- tion of either Cuba or Yucatan under the | auspicies of Gen. Taylor. 4. Also an Administration of the strict- est impartiality, and of the most rigid justice, as between all the great interests of the country, and all sections of the con- federacy. 1 believe Gen Taylor to be en- tirely above sectional prejudice ; and there | are not any of the interests of the free States which I would not unhesitatingly | confide to his hand. He has a head to comprehend, and a heart to embrace his country, and his whole country. Having. spent his whole life in the public service, | and on terms of cordial and friendly in- | tercourse with the people of all parts of the Union, he entertains the broadest and most liberal sentiments of nationality. 1. do not regard him asacitizenof Louisiana. | but asacitizen of the U.

President has become every thing and Congress nothing. An irresponsible body, called a convention, and generally a small committee of such body, assembled in the upper room of some tavern, have arroga- ted the right of settling every thing in ad- _vance, and of binding both Congress and ‘the Executive. The latter has become the agent of a debased and grovelling | partizanship to overrule the former, either through the instrumentality of the veto, | or by a corrupt exercise of patronage. To the correction of the enormous evils of “the one-man power,” General Taylor stands distinctly pledged. The moment this is done, the great questions of public policy are taken out of the Presidential | ‘canvass, and are carried into the Con- _gressional districts, Ifthe people desire a protective tariff, the ‘our harbors and rivers, or any policy in | ‘regard to our territories, they will elect | This | _will relieve the legislation of the country | from the malign influence of party, and 'members of Congress accordingly. will be likely to give much greater stabil- ity to snch measures as have a favorable | bearing on the important interests of the ‘country than has obtained for many years past. | 9%.

In short, I believe that all depart- ments of the Government will become conservative under the auspices of Gen- jeral Taylor. That he will administer the Executive department in that spirit no man can doubt; and this makes him a good Whig enough for me. He will take high conservative ground on all questions appertaining to our foreign re- lations. He will dispense the patron- /age of the Government in a spirit of moderation. He will be particularly cautious to see that justice is done to all seetions in this regard. And es to questions appertaining to our demestic policy, he will follow the example of the earlier Presidents. and will throw them into Congress.

How singular it ispthat so, many should be of opinion that Lewi ss did make a speech at sometime in favor of the Wilmot Proviso. Mr. Yancey asserts it in the following extract of his speech at Charleston—but Mr. Yancey goes a whole bar’s length beyond anything we have seen elsewhere, and affirms that he, the said Lewis Cass, was the originator of that delectable article, which he now pre- tends, at least, to repudiate : As an evidence of the moral power the South can wield when united, Mr. Yan- cey gave a brief history of the views of Gen. Cass on the Proviso. He alluded to certain developments made by Mr. Rath- bun, an ex-M. C.,in the Utica Convention, which showed that Gen. Cass had been the originator of the Proviso—had induc- ed certain members of the House of Rep- resentatives to tack it on to another mea- sure in that body, as the great principle upon which the North could and would be allied and carried by the Provisoists— had promised to support the move; and had, in the U. S. Senate, actually endors- ed it, in a few remarks upon it, as correct in principle! This was, of course, before the South had been aroused to action ; but, continued Mr. Y., no sooner had we spoken in firm and united tones, thah the Northern Democracy became alarmed lest it should be deserted by the South and left in a minority, (and that to a po- tion.

We believe that half a peck of unleached ashes would be enough for a tree. ORCHARDS, These should be looked through and have all catterpillar nests destroyed. ‘Ihe peach trees near to, and just under the ground, should be examined for worms, which should be killed with the point of a pen knife or piece of wire sharpened forthe purpose. ‘This done, it would be well to paint the bodies of the trees down to the earth. If you have trees which are prevented, through Juxuriance of growth, trunks of from yielding fruit, open the ground around the roots and cut through a few of the largest de- scending oncs,—be careful to smooth the wound with a chisel. FALL TURNIPS. It is too early to sow these ; but it is not too early to give the ground you mean to grow them in the first ploughing and harrowing ; neither is it too early to advise yuu to provide the manure. rangements so as to be ready to sow your tur- nips from the 25th of July up to the first week You should make all your ar- in August, the nearer the first named period the greater certainty will be of your success. If you put into compost equal quantities of cow manure and mould, at the rate of twenty double. horse cart-loads for each acre, and mix with that quantity five bushels of ashes and one of plaster, shovel it over once in two weeks be- tween this and the time of using it, you cannot well fail to make a good crop of turnips, unless the plants should be destroyed by the fly, which will not be the case if you take our advice, soak your sccd in fish oil, sprinkle it over the | plants when they first come up, and dust them with soot and plaster. This is /rowblesome, we know, but not so much so as to deter one from making an effort to save one’s crop.

Srov Tuine.—In the Biographical Sketch of the “ Life and Public Services of Gen.

Hull: “Stung with mortification on hearing of the surrender, Col. Cass, when ordered to deliver up his sword, indignantly shiv- | ered it in pieces, and threw it to the earth refusing to surrender it to the enemy.” This incident, thus lugged in to glorify Gen.

Extract of a letter from the Hon. W. |L. Yancey, of Alabama, to the Editor of the Charleston Mercury : Monrtcomery, (Ala.) June 16, 1848. Sir: Two errors of statement appear in the report of the speech made by me at the recent Democratic meeting in |Charleston. They will be found in the | following extracts of the report of that speech, which appeared in the Mercury of the 12th inst. : “We (Mr. Y.) alluded to certain devel- opments made by Mr. Rathbun, an ex- M.C., in the Utica Convention, which showed that Gen. Cass had been the or7g- inator of the Proviso,” &c. The answer was: “Gen. Cass voted against that veto of Mr. Polk, and if we put this in, we will condemn our nominee !’ The first error consists the word “ orzgi- nator,” Gen. Cass, | belive, cannot be just- ly charged with having originated the Wilmot Proviso—however liable tothe .in- putation of being at one time its advocate. The facts to which I alluded are thus re- ported in the official proceedings of the late Utica Convention.” I extract from the speech of Mr. Rathbun: “Mr. President, [know very well the views and feelings of that Senator (Gen. | Cass) in the month of August 1849 * * /On the day that Congress adjourned, and | at the time that Senator Davis, of Mass., | spoke up to the adjournment of the Sen- | ate, on the Wilmot Proviso, I met the Sen- ‘ator at the railway depot in Washington, /any rode near to him, and conversed free- ly with him between that place and Bal- timore. ‘The Senator appeared some- what excited, spoke freely and with a 'good deal of energy on the subject of the | proviso. He stated to me, that every Nor- thern Democratic Senator had agreed to vote for it, and but for Mr. Davis’s speech | would have voted for it. He said, repea- itedly, that “he regretted very much that he ‘could not have recorded kis vole for it be- | fore the adjournment.” * * continued to be his language all the way to Michigan, as I understand.” Mr. Rathbun then went on to relate an- ‘other interview between Gen. Cass, Mr. Brinkerhoff, of Ohio, and himself at the Mr. R. had urged reasons for pressing the Proviso toa vote in both branches of Con- gress, Gen. Cass replied: “ Oh, if it comes to the vote, Lamwith you, you know.”—-“ Of course you are,” was the reply ; and thus | we separated.

Presidency, in 1840, he was denounced by the Democratic, or Locofoco party, as a coward, who skulked from the battle of the Thames, in October, 1813. Some of them went so far as to affirm that he was two miles from the field of action, picking “ huckle-berries,” ( whortle-berries,) all the time that the battle was going on. When reminded that it was too late in the season for this fruit, they turned it off by saying that they were “ winter huckle-berries,” just then beginning to ripen, and the “petticoat hero” was out after a bait, while Colonel Johnson killed Tecumseh and won the battle. Now they claim immea- surable glory for Gen. Cass, who was present in this battle of the Thames, acting as the Vol- unteer Aid of General Harrison! What! and Harrison two miles off picking “ huckle.ber- ries! Now these clamorous patriots must ad- mit the one or the other of two things: either that they were guilty of a mean and wanton perversion of the truth in regard to Gen. Har- rison, or that they are -now trying to lie Gen. Cass into the battle of the Thames as the Vol- unteer Aid of Gen. Harrison. They can take whichever horn they please ; for in either case they are unworthy of the confidence of an hon- est people. Those who undertake to get along by prevarication, ought to have good memories.

The old gentleman was present at the stump speech of bis son David, and on his return home his | wife said,—* Well, husband, what do you think He shook his head very a great many times for telling lies, but I see it has done no good.” WE OBJECT TO THE TESTIMONY. The Locofoco papers are publishing a letter written by General Cass himself in 1842, |. which, they say, “is a sufficient refutation of the calumny of Federalism !” In this letter General Cass says: “Tama member of the Democratic party, and have been so from my youth up. I was first called into public life by Mr. Jefferson, thirty-six years ago, and am a firm believer in the principles laid down by him.” We object to the testimony. It is not com- petent. Whoever heard of making the declara- tions of a culprit, denying the perpetration of a crime when its commission was charged upon him, evidence to acquit him on his trial. It cannot be admitted. And the attempt to get it in shows the straits to which the defence is re- duced. But this letter shows two things—yea, three of them: It shows that Gen. Cass was accused of Federalism long before he was nominated for the Presidency by the Baltimore Convention. It shows that at the period which he fixed upon as the dividing point of time between his youth and manhood, was 1806, when, accord. ing to his published life, he was about twenty- fuur years of age. And it seems to us that he might have been responsible for his own ac- tions before that time. William Pitt was Pre- mier of England at twenty-five. And it shows, furthermore that either Mr. Cass, or the aforesaid life of Mr. Cass, is un- worthy of credit ; for that life says, that he commenced his public career as a Legislator of the Territory of Ohio.—Argus. (<P Our friend of the Jeffersonian seems to think that a ‘ little learning ” is likely to prove a “dangerous thing”? to our correspondent, “Many Whigs,”—and eke to even our humble self!—-Mr. Reid, the Jeffersonian’s candidate for Governor, doubtless thinks that a ‘little learning,” and much more, a great deal, would hea very “ dangerous thing ” for the poor white children of this State—otherwise he would not have voted in the Legislature of North Caroli- ua, to have the school fund distributed accord. ing to federal population—by which very pro- | per arrangement, according to the ideas of “de- mocracy,” a rich man of Caswell county, with ae P : ; , i fifty slaves to labor for him, ar 1 /next Session of Congress, in which, after | ys ves gio ab di rania and cee gach to send to school, gets just THREE TIMES AS muuctt of this fund as the poor citizen of Stanly or any other county, with no slave to labor for him, and nine children to send to school!

The new Senator from Wisconsin, the Hlon.

Extract of the Nashville Union Febru- ary 15 1848. ste “ We believe that in Tennesssee and two or three other southwestern States, Gen. Taylor would be stronger than Mr. Clay. But we are equally confident that Mr. Clay is vastly stronger in the Union. We should have no fear that the anti-war, abolition Whigs, who make up a majori- ty of the Whig party in the U. States, would ever vote for General Taylor, the hero of the war, A LARGE SLAVE HOLDER and ANTI-WILMOT PROVISO.” The Nashville Whig simply adds that a particular descri ptioh of persons ought to have good memories. For our part we entertain no doubt whatever that before the close of the cam- paign, the Locofocos will swear that oLp ZACK is an abolitionists, that he never won the battle of Buena Vista, that he was an ignoramus, and it would not greatly sur- prise, us, were they to call hima coward. N. O. Bee. SIGNING OFF. Capt. Otis Caldwell, one of the Demo- cratic Vigilance Committee in Bottetourt county, publishes a card in the Fincastle Valley Whig, in which he says: “] beg leave to say, that being a Re- | publican,*I feel it my duty to give my hearty support to General Taylor, and thereby contribute to the furtherance of the principles advocated by Washington, Jefferson, and Madison.” The Valley Whig says: “ There are a number of others in this county, whose names stand upon those Vigilance Committees, who occupy the same position of Capt. Caldwell—they are determined to support Gen. Taylor for the Presidency, and neither the ¢hreats or flattery of Locofoco leaders can deter them from their purpose.” GEN. TAYLOR IN KENTUCKY. From the Nashville Eagle. The Frankfort Commonwealth, in the height of its admiration for the tried and unwavering devotion of the Whigs of the “ Gibraltar district” in this State, cries “Huzza for the gallant Whigs of the mountains !” and gives a letter from an old and tried friend of the Mountain dis- trict, who says: “ Tell the boys down in the ‘settlements’ to goto work: If they could witness the enthusiasm produced by the news of Old Zack’s nomination, it would put them all to work in his cause, lest in the grand struggle in November they may be dis- tanced by the never-flinching Whigs of the mountains. You have seen some- thing of our people in the times of high political excitement, but if you will come up in the course of the next six weeks we will show you how we manage a canvass forthe Old Hero of Buena Vista. You may rely upon it, this Congressional dis- trict will give a majority for Taylor and Fillmore of four thousand! Set the fig- ures down, and if I am not very much deceived we will exceed the number.” “This” (says the Commonwealth) “is the language of a plain old fasionhed far- mer Whig, who resides in a central coun- ty in the Mountain district. From other parts of the State the same encouraging news comes to us. Our friends abroad may rest assured that Kentucky will do her duty.” Our advises (says the Eagle) are to the same effect. An {Intelligent gentleman just from Greenup county assures us that a number of Democrats within his knowl1- edge have determiued to vote for Old Zack, because they loved him and believe him to be honest. Greenup county, it will be recollected, is the iron region of northern Kentucky. From the iron region of Ohio, Lawrence and the adjoining counties, we have sim- ilar intelligence. The hard-working, hard- fisted, no-office-seeking yeomanry are ral- | lying with the heartiest enthusiasm to the | ‘support of Gen. Taylor.

THE FOURTH JULY. The late Anniversary of American Indepen- dence was celebrated in this Town, on Tues- | day, with a greater degree of animation than for many years before. ‘The day was ushered in by the firing of guns and the ringing of bells, the music of the one and the roar of the other, strangely blending, were well calculated to im- press one with the importance of the event, so long ago enacted, but thus commemorated by the descendants of those who lived 71 years ago. At an early hour the military from the coun- try, composed of volunteer companies of Cap. tains, Stirewalt and Correll, were seen pouring into Town, besides a great many in citizens dress, including persons from other counties. At 9 o’clock, the Marshalls of the day, mount. ed on horseback, were seen dashing to and fro, bringing the mass of people into line; and at ten, the whole, in procession—Military, Sons of Temperance, citizens, &c.—moved forward to the Lutheran Church, where, after the read- ing of the Declaration of Independence by Mr. Robert W. Long, a Temperance Address by J. J. Summerell, and an Oration by J. Clarke, Esq., were delivered, both of which were as happy and appropriate to the occasion as they were creditable to their authors. ‘These speech. es were prefaced by ‘Temperance Odes and | National Airs, sung by the Ladies, in. strains so sweet and harmonious, as to stir the most inanimate soul. At 2 o’clock the procession was again form- ed, and marched to the centre of Town. Here the Temperance Society and citizens separated from the military. ‘The former retired to the dining room of Mr. John I. Shaver, to partake of a repast prepared to order. After dinner, but while yet seated, the Rev. Mr. Baker, Mr. Geo. L. Gould, Rev. Mr. Allen, Rev. Mr. Coff- man, and J. M. Love, W. P., were severally ded in brief, but extremely neat style. The com- | pany broke up amidst mutual congratulations, | and various and numerous were the remarks of | the * Sons,’ as to how ‘ John I.’ can do up things | in his line. The military. after firing a number | of salutes, marched into the grove just opposite | the Hotel of Col. H. L. Robards, where was spread an ample board, also prepared to order, | by Mr. Willie Rufty. From this cool retreat, | so welcome after a wearisome march, and ex. | posure to the heat of a July sun, went up the loud huzza, as each toast was read and drank- ed to. Here the military were dismissed, and each man choosing his own time to depart, the | company gradually broke up ; when, at evening, the picked bones and scattered fragments alone remained to tell of what had there transpired during the day. At night the Sons of Temperance met in the Presbyterian Church, where they were also Joined by a number of our citizens. After the singing of a Temperance Ode, the meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. J. B. Anthony. | This was succeeded by another Ode, and then, on the announcement of the Worthy Patriarch, Mr. J. H. Enniss came forward in an address which was handsomely conceived and forcibly delivered. ‘This was tolowed by another Tem. perance Song. Rev. Mr. Allen, of Mocksville Division, was then called for from all parts of the Church. He appeared in the pulpit to the satisfaction of all, and as is his wont, on such occasions, dealt out a few sledge-hammer blows { called upon for a speech, to which they respon. | find the bright side of General Cass’ history, GEN.

Then turning to the distinguished guest : Sj; I am delegated by the people of this city totes. der to you its hospitalities, and to assure you ig the name of the Democracy that your nomina. tion for the high office of President of the [ States has nowhere been hailed with sud heartfelt enthusiasm as among the Democray of the State of Ohio. And, sir, permit me on this occasion {o ca your attention to the fact that our political op. | ponents declare that you are opposed to the m provement of our Western rivers and and that we have always met this declaratio with the assurance that Gen.

The People here assembled will, with te greatest pleasure, now listen to any communi. cation which, sir, it may be your pleasure submit. Again, sir, I extend to you the bospi. talities of the city. To which (says the Herald) Gen.

Two medals voted by Congress to General | Taylor, have been struck at the United States , Mint, and are about two inches and a half in diameter, and weigh each about eight ounces, and bear the following legends and ornaments : Obverse.—A profile likeness of the General, executed from a likeness painted by Mr. Wm. Brown, with the legend—* Maj. Gen. Zachary Taylor.” Reverse—A wreath of olive and palm com. bined, with serpent in a circle, emblematic of eternity, surrounded by an inscription as follows: | Resolution of Congress, July 16th, 1846.” | Palo Alto, May 8th, 1846.” “* Resaca de la Palma—9th, 1846.” The second medal bears the following : Obverse—Likeness of the General, surround. ed by the legend— Maj. Gen. Zachary Tay- lor.” The letters somewhat larger than the first medal. | Reverse—An oak wreath surrounding the inscription—* Resolution of Congress, March 2d, 1847; Monterey, September, 1846.” How General Cass received the news of the Nomination.—* Capitol,” the capital Washing- ‘ton correspondent of the Charleston Evening | News, writes on the 26th ult. as follows : The news of the nomination of Gen. Cass | by the Democratic National Convention, was sent to this city by Dr. Ramsey, one of the del- _egatestrom Tennessee. A page of the Senate, _ who was in anxious waiting, ran with it to Gen. Cass’s lodgings, and met that gentleman as he | was coming from his bed chamber. ‘‘ Gene- ral,’ said the page, “you have received the | nomination,” at the same time extending the important paper. The General declined to re- ceive it. But he took the hand of the page and pressed it. -His countenance was serious ap- proaching to sadness. It seemed as if he had been engaged in deep thought, and had been alternately influenced by ‘ hope, then fear.” — At last he said, ‘I shall never forget you, Ro- bert;”’ and after an interval he continued, “ A poor boy, as [ was trudging across the Alle- ghanies, with my bundle on my shoulder, to be —but what a change! What a great country this is!” He was near weeping, and turned “his head aside, reflectingly. Very shortly friends called upon him; and Mr. McClelland, of the House, and Mr. Felch, of the Senate, congratulated him upon his nomination. ‘The General remarked, “I feel as though a heavy load was placed upon my shoulders.” And ad. dressing Mr. Felch, ‘ You will soon have no colleague.” Mr. Felch responded, “I hope my loss may be your gain.” ‘The General thank- ed him. We may therefore anticipate that Gen. Cass will next week resign his seat in the Senate.

Messrs. Editors:—I do not know in what estimation you hold Gen. Taylor in | a political point of view, and do not know as you prefer him to Mr. Clay, or that 508 would support his claims to the Presiden- cy, or consider him as Inany degree qual- ‘fied for that high office. But I believe wou would be willing to do him justice,as | s man. Let him be as he may, he ought | mot to be charged with crimes and con- duct of which he is not guilty. General aylor has rendered some service to his ountry. He has been honored for that service. His name, without his know- edge at first, has been associated with he Presidency of the Union. He has al- | eady felt the penalty which is paid for such distinction. His private life at once becomes public—all the evil he has done in his life-time is spread out before all men. Acts and deeds repugnant to his nature are ascribed to him—his moral character is assailed with the voice of a trumpet—the defence feeble, and hardly heard. With your permission, I wish to say a few things in respect to Gen. Tay- Jor. They may be intercsting—they may do some justice to the character of a wor- thy man. Gen. Taylor is a man of medium stat- ure, large frame, with a massive chest and shoulders, and though not imposing when on the ground, he appears finely on horse-back. From long exposure to the climate of Florida and the far South, his complexion is almost the color of mahog- apy. The same cause affected his eye sight, and he has formed the habit of half closing his eyes. He looks when not in conversation, as if he was quizzing some | one; but when engaged in conversation his eyes sparkle and his face lights up| with intelligence. He is exceedingly fas: cinating in social life. Plain and unas. suming in his appearance and manners, he reminds one of a New Hampshire far- | mer, who has seen much of hard toil.— He is distinguished for great common sense, for modesty in the utterance of his | opinions, and great firmness in adhering to what he conceives to be right. Some years ago he was called to Washington | to unravel some perplexing matters in_ cennection with the Indian Department. He displayed such profound knowledge of that whole Department,—he undid the | knotty questions with such dexterity, and displayed such strong common sense and practical wisdom, that a bureau was of- fered to him in that Department but de-. clined. His family relations are honorable— Mrs. Taylor is one of the most elegant women inthe army. And that is great raise ; for so:ne of the most elegant and accomplished ladies in the country are united in marriage to the officers in the army. She is elegant in her person and manners; a lady of humble but decided | piety. being a member of the Episcopal , Church. His son has recently graduated from Yale College. His daughter is dis- tinguished for accomplishments and beau- ty. She has declined offers from many officers of the army, in obedience to the desire of her father, who does not wish to see her married to a soldier. Gen. Taylor is not a profane man. He has been accused of profaneness. Words said to have been uttered by him on the field of battle have gone through the Un- ion. But no one who knows Gen. Taylor believes such a report. Men who have been with him in scenes most trying, un- der circumstances the most provoking, never heard him utter an oath; he re- strains from principle. Gen. Taylor was two years in a fort as the commander of 1600 men, many of’ whom were among the worst of the race ; and in that fort, swearing was as common as plumes ; the very moral sense seemed to demand an oath as atest of a gentle- The chaplain who was with Gen. Taylor during his w hole command, and saw him under circumstances of the great- est provocation, says he never heard an oath from his lips. His principles and practice in this respect are known to the whole army. Gen. Taylor is a strict teetotaller. He conforms to the customs of the army and keeps on his sideboard such liquors as are drank in the army; but he pledges his officers only in cold water. At the close of a parade, it is etiquette on the part of the officers to call at head-quarters and pay respects to the Commander-in-Chief. It is etiquette on the part of the Command. | er to allow the officers to drink his health. It has been General Taylor’s custom for years to pour out his glass of cold water, and drink the health of his staff in that alone. When he assumed the command of Fort Jessup, he found intemperance to be the prevailing sin. Whipping, impri- sonment and fines had been exhausted.— It was proposed to attempt to reform the men. Gen. Taylor gave the chaplain his warm co-operation, by authority and ex- ample. And all know that in the army nothing can be done without the aid of the commander. A change was Seen at once ; and in less than two years, more than six hundred reformed men marched in procession with badges and banners.— Some of them who joined the army be- | cause of their intemperance, obtained , their discharge through Gen. Taylor, and returned home to their families sober men. | Some of them are in good business in Boston at this time. Gen. Taylor is a friend to the Sabbath and to public worship. You cannot judge men severely who are in the hands of | Committces, as Gen. Taylor was at New: | ions. BRUNER & JAMES, | Editors & Proprietors. “ Keep A CHECK UPON ALL YOUR Rovers.

Taylor, to se- curing that Congress all our efforts must be bent.” We give it precisely as we find it quo- ted in the National Inilligencer, italics and all. Look at it, ye men of the South, and weigh it well. “CONGRESS IS TO BE THE GOVERNMENT UNDER GEN. TAYLOR.” President Log is to be given to this Un- ion by the Whigs, who is to sit still, with his arms folded, and see the Constitution, which he has sworn to support, overturn- ed: and Congress is to be THE govern- ment ! Where will (under such circumstances) bé the compromises of that glorious in- strument? Trodden under foot, and the dearest rights of the South crushed, and crushed forever ! We will say no more at present. This spasmodic fright of the official ed- itor, over the announcement of the true spirit of this Government, and of the Con- stitution, shows the practical difference between the Whigs and Tories, alias that class of Loco Focos who hold with the Union that the Executive is the Govern- ment, having certain inalienable, or im- prescriptible prerogatives; and demon- strates to us also, the value of the precious Whig principles laid down in the Allision letter. clearly, to frighten the South from voting for General Taylor, because he has pledg- ed himself not to veto acts of Congress,— the very reason for which the people of the North will vote for him, and in which we shall rely upon him. But the South even, we apprehend, un- derstands itself too well not to know that its defence is in Congress, and Congress alone, and never in the Executive, whom the Free States can take from the Free States, and solely upon Free State princi- ples, whenever they will. By its Slave property representation, the South is pro- | tected in the House of Representatives ; and in the Senate also, where there are 15 Free and 15 Slave States, the South is | enough protected again. Not even a. Wilmot Proviso can pass a Congress, un- less slaveholders vote for it ! The theory of the, Constitution, and of | the Government, viz: that Congress is, or | should be, the Government, alarms the of- | ficial Union. Whatis Congress? A mon. | ster self-elected, or self-appointed? No, | —but a pure representation of the will of | the people, save inthe Slave States, where | three slaves are counted as two white | voters. The South is not to be frightened | then, we apprehend, by this constitutional defence there of its slave property. Con- | gress is the embodiment of the people, in | the Capitol at Washington. It is nearest | the people, and springs directly from the | people, through no intervention of electo- | ral colleges, and by no commingled and , combined State and Federal action of | Freedom and Slavery, such as creates a ! | The object of the “ official” is, | | terest of astronomers. was not deemed possible by the framers of the Constitution, that the Executive could or would veto acts upon mere ex- pediency ; or set his will, opinion, or judg- ment against Congress, when the Con- stitution was not endangered by the Rep- resentatives of the people, the fair pre- sumption being, that Members of Con- gress, sworn to maintain the Constitution, would as effectually maintain it, as the Executive himself. But as a writer in the Boston Advertiser admirably express- es our views in this matter, we quote from him: “If there be a curse in the practical politics of this country, and one which more than any other inflates the Execu- tive while it debauches the legislative power, it is the practice of White House legislation. ‘The initiative, the great pub- lic measures, has been so regularly taken by the President, and the Veto has been so regularly applied when the President’s personal opinions were against the action of Congress, that it would really seem that the President had grown to be ex- officio member of Congress, with the ad- ditional advantage of having a casting Gen. Twiggs, for example.— | vote upon all questions where a majority | Setting on a log or on a camp stool, the | was less than two-thirds. So far has this’ iniquitous perversion of the Constitution | been carried, that a member of Congress | under the Tyler administration, we think | a Massachusetts man, had the effrontery | to declare the President to be a co-ordin- | ate branch of the legislative body. Cer- tainly, if this course of Executive legis- lation is to be continued much longer, it will render quite nugatory the careful separation of the three departments of government devised by the framers of the constitution. “Tt needs now but to give the President a seat upon the Supreme Court bench, in addition to his executive and legislative functions, to enable him to embody all the three national powers ; and then, in Mrs. Malaprop’s language, like “ Berberas, three gentlemen at once,” to guard ali the avenues of liberty and justice, and growl his three-headed defiance at the people till the end of time.” The true and real distinction between a Whig and a Tory is in this difference on Vetoes, Prerogatives, Royalties,—and _ whenever even the Loco Focos will pro- perly study the Constitution, those among them not tories, but who are true demo- crats, will agree with us, that the Gov- /ernment is in the People, or what is the same thing, the Reprsentatives of the Peo- ple, and not in one man, elected by the machinery of National Conventions, and elected by the machinery of Electoral Col- leges. ‘True then, as the Union sets forth in its word “ Revo.ution,’—we Whigs, under General Taylor are intending a Revolu- ‘tion of the practices of the Executive since 1829 up to 1848. To have this * Revolu- tion” is the very purpose for which we support General Taylor. We demand improvements for Harbors and Rivers, and, by “a Revolution” in the Veto Pow- er, we mean to have them. We demand that, in matters of Finance, and of Pro- tection, Congress be the Government, and ‘not the Executive. and by “a Revolution,” | we mean toso order it. We demand that | the Executive Power be eurtailed in ma- ny and various ways,—and by “a Revo- lution,” we mean to perfect it. General | Taylor is to revolutionize this Government | from the track on which it has run down ‘for twenty years past, and to roll back the Constitution to the days and practices of “the early Presidents.” “Revolution” is the order of the day. “ Look out,” Mr. Ritchie, “ for the crossings, when the Bell ‘rings."—V.

Wasunineton, June 27, 1848. On motion of Mr. Bright, the Senate then resumed the consideration of the Oregon Territorial Bill. Mr. B. made a few remarks, stating his reasons for mo- ving to strike out the 12th section, and his motives for withdrawing that motion. But the Senator from Georgia, (Mr. Ber- rien.) had renewed the motion, and it had been followed by the Senator from Missis- sippi with an amendment, involving in its discussion the most Serious consequences to the Union. Under these circumstan- ces he would present a paper, which he proposed to offer at the proper time as an amendment, on his own responsibility, and which he believed would satisfy the great body of the American people—there were some whom nothing would satisfy. It was substantially the Missouri Compro- mise—providing that in all territory north ot 36 30, to the Pacific ocean, embracing New Mexico, California, and other new territories acquired, neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except for crime shall be permitted, providing that slaves escaping into such terrritory shall be sur- rendered to their owners. | After afew remarks Mr. Berrien, ex- planatory of his view in renewing the motion to strike out the 12th section, Mr. Calhoun addressed the Senate. The South desired the enactment of no laws to give them any peculiar advanta- ges. They simply desire that the territo- ries, shall be left open to all, while they remain territories and when they come into the Union that they shall be left to make their own laws, with no farther re- strictions imposed upon them than are provided by the Constitution. On the great question whether the non- slaveholding States have the powers to prohibit slavery in the,territories, he should claim for the south nothing to which they were not clearly entitled, and yield no tion. considerations, and shoald examine the question solely with a view to what he considered the true interests of the coun- contemplated. They are mere trustees for the benefit of the United States, with- out the authority orright to make a dis- crimination, in reference to that trust be- tween the citizens of the slaveholding and non-slave-holding States. Neither have the territories that power. All the arguments which he had used in reference to the powers of Congress, he contended, applied with equal force to the territories. Neither Congress nor the ter- ritories have the power to exclude slavery. Nor is there any power in the laws ex- isting in the territories, when so acquired, to exclude it. No power, in any form or shape, exists by which it can be excluded. The slaveholding States, he said, are partners withthe rest, having contributed acquisition, and not be excluded from an equal participation in the bene- fits.—They have been full contributors, under every aspect of the case, and who could stand up, and in transaction un- der similar circumstances, in private life, say that they were not entitled to be full participants? Nothing but deed, abiding prejudice could insist on the contrary. If the non-slaveholding States were dis- posed to do right, let them vote for the Davis.)

Let us appeal to the record. The facts there found speak for them- selves. On page 268-9 of the Senate Journal 1845-6, is the following entry : “The Senate resumed as in Committee of the whole, the consideration of the Bill | to apply certain alternate sections of the | public domain towards the completion of | works of Internal Improvement in the | State of Michigan and for other pu a | On the question, shall this Bill be en- ' grossed and read the third time?

This i one fact to show what the advocates of the Baltimore Resolutions may expect from their candidate on the subject of In- ternal Improvements by the General Gov- ernment. But this is only a beginning.— On the very next page of the same Jour- nal, is the following entry : “ The Senate proceeded to consider as in Committee of the whole the bill to aid the State of Mississippi in the construc- tion of a Rail Road from Jackson through | Brandon to the western boundary of Ala- bama, and having been amended it.4was reported to the Senate, the amendment was concurred in.

On page 407th, of the same Journal of the Senate, 1845-6, is the following entry : | “The Senate then proceeded to consi- der as in Committee of the whole, the Bill to 30—the existence of slavery would va- to provide for the Improvement of the ry very little fromthat line.

Yeas 31, Nays 12. Mr. Cass voted Yea! This is another fuct still going to show |that if Mr. Cass be sincere, honest and consistent, he will not carry out the princi« ples of the Baltimore Resolutions. Do his friends wish him to belie these record- ed votes? If not, how can those who think that the prosperity of the country _and the salvation of the Constitution de- pend upon the Baltimore Resolutions, sup- port him with any assurance that he would veto such another bill for Internal Im- provements passed by Congress? But there are still other facts from the record, more extraordinary and striking than those already given. On the 440th page of the Journal before referred to, is the following : ' “On motion of Mr. Dix, the Senate proe | ceeded to the consideration of the Bill | making appropriations for the improve- | | { ment of certain Harbors and Rivers? | Mr. Atherton moved to amend the bill | by inserting at the end thereof, the fol- ‘lowing: (Mark the language !) “ Provided thut no money shall be drawn- from the Treasury ON AccouNT OF ANY AP¢ PROPRIATION CONTAINED IN THIS ACT, UNLESS |THE REVENUES OF THE GOVERNMENT SHALL | BE SUFFICIENT TO PAY THE CURRENT EXPENSES | OF THE YEAR, WITHOUT RESORTING TO TREAs 'sury Noves or LOAns.” It was determined in the negative— Yeas 18, Nays 33. Mr. Cass voted Nay! So eager then was he to carry on this _system of Internal Improvements by the | General Government, that though the Na- lion was engaged in War—its revenues | not sufficient to pay us expenses—he was | unwilling to dispense with the appropria- | tions towards that object, even for a sbort time! He was ready and willing, as this /vote proves, TO BORROW MONEY, if it bee | came necessary, to carry on schemes of In- |ternal Improvements by the General Gov- ernment ! | Mr. Cass voted for this bill, as will be | seen by reference to the 443d page of the | Senate Journal, before quoted. This bill Mr. Polk vetoed and that veto, | the Democrats (of the South at least) de- clare, contains the true doctrine and that | which was intended to be put forth by the Baltimore Resolution. That Bill they say was unconstitutional—that Bill Mr. Cass | voted for—that vote he has never retrac- | ted—that vote he dare not retract—and |yet we are told that by the election of |Mr. Cass the principles in reference to Internal Improvements avowed in the Bal- | timore Resolution will be carried out !—~ | Who believes that he would veto such an- | other “ Harbor and River bill”? No one | can believe it unless he also believes him | base enough to belie and repudiate every | vote he has given on the subject! If he were thus to act would he be worthy the | confidence of honest and consistent men? No doubt these very votes are Bow, and will be relied on, in the North-west, to _ prove him an ultra friend and advocate of ‘Internal Improvements by the General Government, bot bere at the South the Baltimore Resolution will be held up, as containing the real Simon-pure doctrine of all good Democrats! Let the People look to this. . But there are other Facts which deserve attention. In this State the Democratic Party in most of their primary meetings —_——— ee Ticke:.

It is as follows: “In December, 1847, General Cass gave his views at length upon the ‘ Wilmot Provisay in a letter to Mr. Nicholson of Tennessee. In that by Congress, over any of the territories of the U. States, respecting the domestic relations of their inhabitants. He believed that all questions of that nature should be settled by the people themselves, who ought to be allowed ‘ to rega- late their own internal concerns in their own way,’ and that Congress has no more power to abolish or establish slavery in such territories that it has to regulate any other of the relative duties of social life—that of husband and wife, | of parent and child, or of master and servant. | He said in conclusion; “The Wilmot Proviso seeks to take from its leyitimate tribunal, a question of domestic poli- cy, having no relation to the Union, as such, | and to transfer it to another created by the peo. | Col.

In another point of view, it may perhaps be the just conclusion, that the passage was dis. | carded, not only to make the pamphlet more pa- | lateable to the North, but unobjectionable to the South. For, it will be observed, that, unlike the unanimous Democracy of Richmond, the au- | thor manifestly understood Gen. Cass as con- _ ceding to the people of the territories that right vi legislation on the subject of slavery which he denied to Congress ; and, like Gen. Cass him. self, never dreamed of the Richmond doctrine, that those people can only act when they come to form State constitutions in general conven- tion. Gen. Cass says the people of the terri- turies, * in the meantime,” before ‘ their even. tual admission into the Union,” “are just as ca- pable ” of regulating “ their own internal con- cerns,” “asthe people of the States.” His Biographer rightly regards slavery as the “ in. ternal concern” to which General Cass refer. red in this unequivocal declaration, and thus | furnishes direct authority to convict the Virgin. ia, Alabama and Florida Democracy of viola- ling their solemn pledge in supporting Gen. Cass. It may therefore, possibly, bave been eyua!ly the object of the publishers to withhold the first edition of the Biograpby from the Sou- thernand Noithern Democracy. In some parts of the South, however, they might circulate it with impunity ; forthe Georgia Democrats (and we may presume that others also) place them. selves distinctly on General Cass’s ground, as opposed to the Virginia and Alabama doctrine, and admit the right of the inhabitants of a ter- ritorial government to prohibit slavery. care, however, would be required, in the distri- bap ite (har anecuch (ies Ire) ercemcn tm (lies | ution of the documents, and we incline to the opinion that the wiser plan was adopted, in _ causing the Biography to be altogether silent | on the dangerous subject of the Proviso.

This, with the School Tax, which is now for the first time being collected, accounts, and, to nny informed and unprejudiced mind, satisfac: _torily accounts for the present rate of Tas: , ation in Rowan, and renders the course adopted by Sheriff Klutts one of necessity, and not of choice. Indeed, all who know the kind and obliging disposition of the man, are perfectly satisfied, that if be could, in justice to himself and the obli- gations under which he is placed, receive County claims in payment of the Taxés for the current year, he would do so wit the greatest pleasure. And now, if ¥¢ were asked the cause of embarrassment‘ this County and several others in this se¢: tion, and which will eventually create heavy burthens on all the Counties in the State, we would say it is to be fourd it |the act of the Legislature giving to 4! | criminals the right of appeal to the Su preme Court without giving securily for the costs.

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 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 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.

A SPEECH, Delivered in Statesville, July 4th, 1848, BY REV. E. F. ROCKWELL. [Published by Request.] Fettow Citizens :—Though we have no. Saints Day’s in our Ecclesiastical Calen- | Bar: though it does not fall to our lot to | slebrate the birth days of Kings, or Em- erors, with games, festivities and sacri- Bees; yet in our national history and in ur political calendar, there are sacred ays: Days, with which are connected allowed remembrances. Those periods of our personal history, rhich have been marked with uncommon rosperity : those epochs in our lives in hich those events have occurred, that ave had an important bearing on the fu- Dre, we are careful to note in their an- bual return. This is natural: The prac- ice accords with the nature of man; with he best feelings—the noblest sentiments of the human heart. A nation is but a calendar of individ- uals: an addition of units into one great mass—retaining the qualities still of the various parts. And there are events in Pour national history, whose days of recur- Frence we delight to commemorate; be- cause those events have an important bearing on what we are, and what we hopetobe. The 15thof May,1771, when in the Battle on the Alamance, on the soil of North Carolina, the first blood was shed in défence of human rights in this country. The 20th of the same month, in the year 1775, when in the town of Charlotte, and the county of Mecklenburg, was made the first Declaration of that Independence, that this State, in union with others, finally at- tained, are, at least worth mentioning | nere. They are days, connected with events, to which the sons of the old North State, however much decried by others, may be justly proud. And not only so, we may add that on the 8th of April 1776, at the Town of Halifax, by the Legisla- ture of the same State, was also the first Declaration in favor of an entire separa- tion of the Colonies from the Mother Country. But these may perhaps only be reckoned stars before the sun; when we approach either that day that added to the list of living men, the Father of his Coun- try; or inscribed the name of that coun- The 22d of February, 1732, and the 4th of July, 1776, will ever stand in the esti- mation of Americans; in that degree that 3 the events therein transpiring stand out ® rica—in the annals of the world. in bold relief in the history of North Ame- And itis not a little remarkable how, in the course of time, almost every revolving M@™ year adds to the sacred interest, in the al at l hearts of Americans, of these consecrated days. The tinger of Providence, in a way not to be mistaken, or to pass unheeded, points them out, to be celebrated, not only | with joyful acclamations, but with funere- al obsequies: not with wreaths of laurel, and ivy, alone, but mingled with the cy- press: Tears of joy with those of sorrow. Who knows not that our literal Jubilee, 9 the fiftieth return of this anniversary, was consecrated anew, by the departure from earth of the two illustrious men, who act- ed so conspicuous a part, on the day of the nation’s birth; who afterwards stood at its head. The names oft the author, and of the strenuous advocate, and de- ‘ fender of that noble instrument, will live ; not only because thus associated ; not on- ly because in immediate succession, after the immortal Washington, they filled the Presidential Chair, but because, John Adams, of Massachusetts, having arriv- ed to the age of 91, and Thomas Jeffer- son, of Virginia, at the term of 83, in death were not divided, on the 4th July, 1826. And what shall we say of that na- tional bereavement of the 23d of Febru- ary, 1848, which more than canonised the second John Adams, and added another star to our national galaxy? The true son of New England, but the citizen of the U. States, in whose service he spent a half of a century; and who having en- joyed her highest honors—died in the house of the nation—under the dome of the Capitol, at his post of duty, with his armor on—“ contented.” The Statesman, the Poet, the Annalist, the Philosopher, the Christian. Though with the faults of human nature his name will stand high in rank among the great men, who have filled conspicuous places in our Govern- ment. Having lived to Eulogise some of the greatest men of the age, and some whose fame, belonged to two Continents, He now becomes the subject of eulogy equally high : He will have a fame, that will belong, not to two continents only, but to two worlds.

Wesward the star of Empire | was wont to take its way; but no sooner | was this new world explored to its wes- _tern limit, and our laws extended over it, than the tide of revolution began to set ‘eastward. And whocan tell where it will stop? The bristling steel and the ranged cannon of the Czar of Russia will not probably arrest it: not the Ural Moun- tains, or Caucassus, or the walls of China, if He who rules among the nations, is now about to arise to shake terribly the earth. The Rock cut out of a mountain on this Continent, must needs strike the Colossal _Image of Despotism on the other Conti- nent upon its feet, prostrate it in the dust, and grind it to powder, which the winds of Heaven shall carry away. What a fer- ment among the population of Europe, especially of that portion of it once inclu- ded in the Roman Empire? What was yesterday but prophecy, is history to day. | The King of the French, a refugee, ban- ished from his country, an object of char- ity, though he had hoarded up treasures _with miserly care, and with the advan- _tages of Royalty. Many now return to his former office of pedagogue, if he will repudiate Atheism, Catholicism and Mon- archy. France, a Repnblic, and no long- er chained to the car of the Pope, who according to reports, himself is exchang- ‘ing the Vatican fora Prison; and few So poor as to do him reverence, who once trod the necks of Kings to mount his horse ; who once sat in the temple of God, and , | claimed the sovereignty of the whole world. So rapid have been the changes among ‘the Governments of Europe, that a few , ‘short months have witnessed the over- throw of the established order of things |in most of the States and Kingdoms this side of the Dominions of the Autocrat of | Russia. | This seems to be the year fatal to Mon- | archies; a fearful disease, “The Kings | Evil,” prevails. And though England as yet stands proudly erect, Queen of the Isles, and Mistress of the seas, with de- _ pendencies in every quarter of the world ; upheld by nobility. army, navy, clergy. / and vast resources, yet she cannot remain | ,unmoved. Her Queen sits on a giddy | height, on the apex of a pyramid, under which combustible materials are daily /accumulating for explosion. 20,000,000, out of 28,000,000, in the united Kingdoms. | burdened with the weight of that pyramid, deprived of what we so freely enjoy, will one day, and that not distant, arise in their terrible might, and reverse the order of things, and erect a Government, not for ‘mortal remains, or their bones moulder under _the principles, territory, of religion and laws, of manners | and of glory. Let the spirit of the sires, rule in their sons—let that high sense of character—that love of what is noble and great in sentiment, or in action, that mark- ed the age of the Revolution, be not only the predominating spirit of this hour, but of this, with all coming ages. It should be the great matter of gratitude with us towards those who marched to victory, or to death, and esteemed life too mean a sacrifice in such a cause—not only that they conferred on us such a country as this, the fairest portion of the globe—not only that they went and saw and fought and conquered—not only that they con- structed without a model, such a Govern- ment, as exceeds the wisdom of the wise men either in the East or West, in former ages; but that they perpetuated by their precepts, and their examples, the manners. out of which sprung all that they did. Without this all else had been in vain. What boots it any one, that he bears the name, and inherits the vast estate of an estimable parent ? What though that parent bequeaths to him the wealth of an Astor, a Gerard, a Roths- child, or a Croesus, if there is not instilled into his mind those principles that shall lead him to use aright, and to preserve such treasures ? How soon may he waste in dissipation, debauchery ; boundless ex- travagance or at the gaming table, his immense wealth? How soon may his ex- cesses lay him in the grave? Here is a matter in our case, we are apt to overlook. External advantages alone, may prove curses, instead of blessings. Correspond- ing character must first be formed. Laws and Institutions of a popular character, are not the creators, but the created : they may help to perpetuate what gave rise to them ; and what they express, as already existing in the framers, but where this is wanting, Laws on paper, Constitutions call them into being. luscious sugar cane—here, the orange the only one, that has existed more thas ia name ; and whether these who siand here ia 1945, or even in 1876, will find ours more thaa [te ; } aname and a shadow, }j brilliant victories, the best portion of solved.

What though he inhaled the air of free- dom amongst the Turnbulls, the Williamses, the Shermans, the Huntington’s of a State that was always self-governed ? Cannot he whose ancestors were immolated there, claim a share too in the victories and sacrifices accomplished on other soils, and hy those of different descent. Go abroad—visit other lands—and you will be proud to claim the heroes and the statesmen of the Revolution as your countrymen in whatever part of the land they lived. And what have been our circumstances? And what our suc- cess? We labored under great disadvantages ; groves of Florida, “ loaded at once with the rich golden fruit and balmy silver flow- ers.” But these views of the greatness and grandeur of our country—its sublime -scenery—its improvements in the arts— ‘its increase in population, wealth and re- _ sources, do not fill the soul; as when we consider that here is the soil that contains ‘the bones of those slain in the cause of Liberty. This is the land wet with the blood of martyrs in that most sacred cause. _* Rome lost her breed of noble bloods,” or her Liberties would not have been cloven ‘down. But far off be the day when an | American, unmoved, can survey the bat- tle fields of Bunker Hill, White Planes, Saratoga, Bennington. Trenton, Prince- ton, Brandywine, Camden, Cowpens, Guil- ford and Yorktown. How was the Greek fired at the thought of such scenes as Ola- ‘ten, Marathon, and Thermopylae, wit- nessed? So let us consider that here, whatever laurels may have been acquired since, here are the monuments of our country’s glory. What though our armies have seen and conquered the servile Mex- ieans ? What though victorious, they have revelled in the “ Halls ef the Mon- tezumas.” What are Matamoros, Mon- terey, Resaca de la Palma, Cerro Gordo, Chapultepec, or even the ancient Capital itself of Mexico, to the names consecra- ted before, and made famous, by victories gained in a better cause? Let the bat- tles of the Revolution, when eagle-winged victory perched on our banners, and the God of armies shaped our ends—the bat- tles where life, Liberty, and all that men hold dear in life, was at stake,—always hold the first and foremost places in your You owe this to the men that there and then poured out freely their blood like water in the cause of human rights, thoughts. and purchased for you sucha birthright. But we may be permitted for a moment like those of Locke for Carolina, cannot to allude to passing events: To enquire We must not trust where we are in the course of time, and the benefit of the Ruler, but the Ruled.— The points of the charter must be carried -at length. But while we stand afar, and see the heavings of that restless sea, and hear its angry roar, shall we be unconcerned for ourselves? Is there no need of vigilance, | lest our exultations, though repeated this 72d time on this Anniversary, be turned -into lamentations: Lest our prosperity | prove transient as the day dream of fancy on the bright morning of love: Lest dem- ons of darkness chant their wild requiem | over the grave of Liberty, murdered by a matricidal hand, and buried beneath the ruins of her own temple. We are apt to feel as though our principles were so self- evident—that they were soin accordance with the best interests of man, and the best feelings of the human heart; that none can wish to demolish so beautiful a fabric. We are apt too, to feel that we are the children of fortune, the favorites of Heaven, whose walls of adamant and angel guards surround us. But our feel- ings of security may itself prove our ruin; and a salutary fear of destruction may prove our salvation. Many indeed, are ‘the grounds, on which we may hope that ‘this glorious Union may stand till the last sands of departing time—till the last trum. pet shall sound—and then only be dissolved with dissolving nature, and the crush of worlds. Yet, let us not overlook the fact that there are many, and powerful oppos- ing influences, tending to dissolution.— It is higbly probable that the seeds of that disease, which is to prevail over the pow- ers of life in every human body, are plan- ‘ted there at birth. So it may be with us. ‘Judging before hand, we should hardly suppose that any one, and especially one ‘who had enjoyed the benefits of this free Government, could be found, with a heart so black, base and fiendlike, as to seek the ruin of his country, and blast the happi- ness of untold millions ; yet the man may be found that will put his impious hand | moet act from within outward. ternal pressure, the more firmly the parts are, ‘ ; held together, while the force that destroys | of Policetn a aie ie — We fear no | f external violence unaided by faction at home. | vera ot thet cee by Pere those. nation United the power of the world could not crush | em the battle feld—she private } : Let us.

The number of our wha'e- ships alone now employed in that sea ex- ceeds seven hundred, requiring more than twenty thousand seamen to navigate them, while the capital invested in this particu. lar branch of commerce is estimated at not less than forty millions of dollars.

PREPARE YOUR TICKETS. We would remind our Whig friends of the fferent Counties, of the importance of procur- g and distributing Governor tickets, and in- eed tickets for all their candidates. Let all bings Le ready on the day of election. PRINCIPLES—NOT MEN. We learn that in several of the Western coun- es there are four or five Whig candidates in the eld where there should be but ono or two ; ad that in consequence of this, there is a pos- ibility, in some instances, of Democrats slip- ing into seats which might, and should be, filled jy Whigs. How great will be the mortifica. on of the Whigs of these Counties should euch e the result of their own petty strifes! ‘The esent is no time for sacrificing the certainty proper elections : there should be no deser- on of the interest of our cause for the sake of ndividuals :—principles first, our friends last, ould be the watch word. We fecl sure that ect a moment on the importance of sending ood men to the next Legislature, they cannot il to use every possible means to reconcile hese differences,—to unite their strength, and ecure the election of Whigs. Are the candi. ates themselves unyielding 2? They do not are for your principles or your interest. The Pratification of their own vanity is of more im- portance to them; and therefore it becomes the uty of the voreRs to care for themselves. ELECTOR FOR THIS DISTRICT. It is time, we think, something should be one towards appointing an Elector for this District. So far as Rowan is concerned, we ropose that a meeting be held on Wednesday he 26th instant for the purpose of recommend. g a suitable person to the other Counties. — hat say you Whigs of Rowan? Come ina ody on that day, and kindle afresh the fires of 840, ard rescys the land of our fathers from he hands of the spoilers. THE BATTERY. A new campaign paper bas been issued at jashington, under the above title. It has an engraved head, representing Capt. Bragg with is battery in full play at the*enemy. A little distance off, is a representation of Gen. Cass xclaiming, “Sir, the noise and confusion which ervades this assembly will prevent my being heard ou the important topics to which you have alled my attention.” Near to the battery is seen General Taylor, on his horse, giving or- ders. It is well edited, and will prove a pow- erful batiery to Jocofocoism. (tr We tuke occasion to assure the Whigs of Rowan that the prospect of the success of pur eatire ticket is bright, and brightening ev- ery day. From all the accounts we can gath- er there is entire unanimity in our ranks, and we may depend on there being a strong pull, and a pu!l allogether ! Let us take courage from this fact, and perform, with alacrity, our whole duty.—We have never seen the Whigs more decided than they are now, nor have we known them in better spirits. saamamennieeadl L ZACHARY TAYLOR, our Whig brethren in those Counties will re- | GEN. CASS AND-SHAVERY: ia hisigt brated letter on j le Cass, the Democratic ‘ t o Ps or the Presidency, ar i, a al Pa Marebeen, We e its existence in princ hg ae a where can be effected just and peaceably, und easily for both parties.” Another “ Northern man with Southern principles,” we suppose, held up to the South in the person of Cass. Like Van Beren, his whole life proyes him aa enemy to Southern institutions. But as soon as he becomes a can- didate for the Presidency, he begins to have doubis as to the correetness of this or that opinion heretofore ex- | pressed, when desirous of showing to the” people of the | free States his abhorrence and detestation of this insti- tution of the South, although recognized and protected by the supreme law of the land—the Constitution, which he and every man issolemnly bound tosupport. Away, then, with such nonsense about Gen. Cass’ mind having , undergone a change upon this important question. If Cass has fow formed a more favorable opinion towards the rights of the South, it is because he is up forthe try represent it to be in a most deplorable Presideney and knows he cannot be elected: without support from this section of the Union. This is the se- out, at the head of which 1s Paredes backed by father Jarauta, the fighting cret why he professes to have changed. Under~ these circumstances, we ask the people of North Carolina if they can rely upon such hollow: hearted professions, and vote for the man who has prayed for the abolition of mento, calling upon the people to expel so that both may appear toeether a pat ro -te slavery—or even vote for those who advocate his elec- tion? Before doing so, we call upon them to think—to recollect the treachery of Van Buren now the candidate of the Wilmot Proviso Abolitionists. RICHMOND AND DANVILLE RAIL ROAD. | We learn (says the Richmond Times of the 14th in- | stant,) that the Richmond and Danville Rail Road Com- pany yesterday contracted for the grading and ma- sonry of about 100 miles of their road, with Messrs. Jas. Hunter and Robert Harvey, contractors of high re- sponsibility and great experience. The terms are said 1o be most advantageous to the company ; the workhav- which he has drawn $600,000 to Pay-— | presid : resident ; ing been let at much lower prices than was estimated, and a portion of the contract taken in the stock of the Company. This ought to prove to the people of this part of No. Carolina, that this project is no chimera of the imagina- | 5 oo = } | tion, but that it is one which must, sooner or later, be | completed. Let us not let the opportunity now offered | us of enriching ourselves pass, without making a strong effort to secure those blessings which other portions of | the country are now enjoying. If increase in the value of property and the means afforded to amass wealth, is desirable, here is an inducement worthy of the conside- | ration of every man in Western North Carolina. | | On the 3d instant the committee appointed by the | Governor of Louisiana to present to General Taylor the | | gold medal voted him by the Legislature of that State in | testimony of admiration and gratitude for his great ser- | vices in the battle of Buena Vista, attended, in the par- lor of the St. Charles, at New Orleans, to perform the Levi Pierce, Esq., on be- half of the committee, holding the medal and the Gov- ernor’s letter of presentation in his hand, addressed the General in a speech very appropriate to the occasion. | Gen. Taylors reply was very happy, and during its delivery, he paid a high compliment to the army un- der his command in that memorable and hard fought bat- pleasing duty assigned thein. tle. IMPORTANT FROM FRANCE. We are informed, through the Telegraph, (says the National Intelligeneer of the 13th instant,) that the steamer Niagara, one of the new vessels of the Cunard line, arrived at Boston yesterday morning. She sailed from Liverpool on the Ist instant, and brings the partic- ulars of a terrible conflict at Paris, of which we had a report by the Caledonia. It appears, from our despatch, that the difficulty com- menced through some misunderstanding of the Mayor, (Armand Marrast,) in an interview with a deputation On Thursday night barricades were erected through the city. The rappel was instantly beaten, and the national guard called out. The insur- gents seized that portion of the city about the faubourg St. Antoine, and threatened the Hotel de Ville. of the people.

Our New Orleans Correspondent writes us, under date of 11th instant, that an ar- rival from Vera Cruz brings intelligence from the Mexican Capital that the insur- gents, headed by Paredes and Jarauta, had been met by the Government so firm- ly, that they were disconcerted, and there -was but little doubt that the attempted Revolution would be checked. The State of Tamaulipas had made a demand of the Federal Government of Two Millions of Dollars, as an indemnity for loss of Territory ceded to the United States by the recent Treaty. Nearly the whole of the American troops, comprising the Volunteers and the troops organized under the ten regiment bill, had taken their departure from Vera Cruz for the United States.—Charleston Courter. THE DOUBLE-FACED LIFE OF CASS. So far from the leaders being innocent of this fraud of imposing two different lives of their candidate upon the country, General Cass was himself privy in knowledge, if not in partici- pation, to the whole transaction. All that I shall say on this subject is derived from Demo. cratic authority, and emanates from a promin- ent member of the party in the House of Repre- sentatives. This member states that, sometime previous to the mecting of the Baltimore Convention, he England, generally, is quiet.

On Friday the fighting began. The insurgents were at first successful. M. Lamanrtine rode out with Gen. Cavaignac and staff, and was conspicuous in his endea- vors to restore order. It was at length found necessary to use the artillery, but at night the emeute had gained called at the Congressional Globe Office, for the purpose of purchasing Documents to dis. tribute among his constituents—among others the life of Gen. Cass. Upon examination of the sketch, he discovered the citation from the Nicholson letter and the commentary of the | | | ground and strength. On Saturday the Assembly declared itself en perma- nence; the Government resigned ; and the Supreme Fxecutive authority was given to General Cavaignac, who declared Paris in a state of seige. The whole day, with the exception of a lull during a thunder storm, was Biographer, and declined sending it to his dis- trict, which strongly fraternizes with the Barn- burning movement. Atan interview with Gen. Cass immediately following this discovery, the | General inquired of him whether his letter to the Chicago Convention was doing much mis- chief. The member replied that he thought | not. The letter was short, and he wished that all his other letters, particularly that to Mr. Nicholson, were equally so. He also told him that it was bad enough to write the letter at all, but to permit extracts from it, with sectional commentaries, to be published in a sketch of | hia life, would be ruin to his cause in the free shed. were pouring in from the departments, and the contest was desperate. After a frightful sacrifice of life, the President of the National Assembly announced that the Government had completely suppressed the revolt on the left bank of the Seine, and that Gen. Cavaignac had given to those on the right side until teme’clock to surrender. The fight- ing, however, continued all day. : On Monday Gen. Lamoriciere arrived with reinforce- ments, and, after ten hours more of terrific slaughter, the Government troops were entirely victorious, the in- surgents being either slain, scattered, or captured. On Tuesday all signs of resistance had disappeared, together with all other evidences of disorder. Over five thousand prisoners were taken, and a commissin has Towards night the scene became awful ; troops as became a politic partizan, and doubtless ac- ted upon them accordingly.

For all the suc- ‘cess which has attended me in perform- | ing those duties I have been indebted to the confidence and kindness of my com- mander, and for the gallantry and devo- tion of those who served under me. Passing by the incidents of Fort Brown and Monterey, to which you have so elo- quently alluded, 1 may be pardoned for _saying in reference to the more memora- ble field of Buena Vista, that the eredit which has been awarded me for the part performed by my command on that occa- sion has had its origin in the disinterest- edness and generosity of our noble old Chief, who is ever inclined to bestow on others, honors, justly due to himself. To and to him alone, belongs all the glory for that achievement. And |] but express the universal opinion of those who served under him, in saying that no other living man could have obtained that victory. So great was that confidence reposed in him by his troops, and no other could have commanded it, that his pre- sence on any part of the field was sufh- cient not only to change despair into hope, ‘but to give assurance of victory, and dis- AKE this opportunity to call the attention of the Public to the fine lot of FURNITURE which they now have on hand and expect to keep constantly on hand for sale at the very lowest prices for cash, country produce or lumber of every description, at the market prices.

She sits upon the mountain side, The herd is grazing by ; At band soft murmuring waters glide, Around cool shadows lie. Beside her on the grass are laid The well adjusted straws, With which to weave the tasteful braid, That o’er her knees she draws. Upon her nut-brown cheek there glows Of health the blushing hue ; Her eyes, like dew-drops on the rose, Are pearly soft and blue. All blithe and happy is her air, Thronghout the live long day ; As to her breast corroding care Hath never found its way. And yet she bears, full well I know, A tender human heart, Where deep and warm affections glow And wishes fondly start. Perhaps adown in yonder glen, A mother’s grateful smile, As with each eve she comes again, Awaits her all the while. And well the thought of such delight, May cheer the lonely child, As pags the hours their lingering flight, Mid solitude and wild. Perchance, as thus alone she sits, Intent her task to ply, A dream of some fond lover flits, Before her mental eye. And fancy paints her happy lot, In days when she shall be The matron of a mountain cot, With children round her knee. Perchance she hath a lofty soul, The gifis of genius rare, Reads on each crag a written seroll, Hears voices in the air, But what sbe hath of hopes or fears, It is not mine to know ; Yet I will wish, fair maid, thy years All peacefully may flow. That time may tiy best hopes fultil And all thy visions bright Be changed to truth ;—yet upward still— Sull upward—be thy flight. AGRICULTURAL. | WASHING BUTTER. As a great number of our subscribers are en. gaged in agricultural pursuits and have a taste for science.in every one of its departments, es- pecially what relates particularly to their owa profession, we extract the following remarks , fromthe Boston Cultivator, which are positively svund to our knowledge, and to which we would request earnest attention.—Screntific Ameri- Can. “We doubt the utility of washing butter in cold water. ‘There is in butter properly made from good cows in the best of teed, a peculiar rich aroma and flavor, which is, in some meas. | ure, washed away hy the use of cold water. We know that a thousand evidences may be | brought forward to justify washing in the shape of Dutch butter, and good productions through. out the country. than good butter. But we wam something more We wantextra fine. Some say butter is an oil and water will not aissoive it. But what evidence have we that the fine savor of butter consists in oil? We have seen butter (bat had all the peculiar properties of oil and grease, and yet so far from having a delight. ful savor, it had the contrary. and if used for | crackers, a is ofien the custom with bakers, the odor was apparent in them, on wetting them in warm water. Water will surely extract the fine flavor of butter, as hae been shown by putting balls of butter in sale water for preservation. It be- comes insipid; and we have no doubt that washing butter has the same effect, only less from the transient operation. The finest but. ‘er that we ever tasted was well made without washing in water, and it was sometimes kept in the best condition one year, and with no oth. er preservative but salt. We have found sugar an excellent preserva- tive for butter not to be used soon, and so is salt- petre, but as to the effect of the latter on health much has beeu said, and doctors disagree. To preserve butter for a long time, it is usually salt. ed high; and if we can modify this excess of salt, by using more palateable and salutary sub- stances, of cqual efficiency in conservative qual. es, Wil DO AN iaprevement, Sugar has these qualities.

In the violent juternal aching term. ed cholic, acd a tallespoonful of salt to a pint of cold water, drink it and go tu bed; it is one of the speediest remedics known. ‘The same will revive a person who seems almost dead from a heavy fall, &c.

In many cases, of severe bleeding at the lungs, when other re- medies fail, Dr. Rush found two teaspoonsful of salt completely stayed the flow of blood.

It is reasonable to suppose that what is most plentiful on earth, is most essential to the wants of man. But we in general invert the order of nature, placing the greatest value on those | i things that are difficult to obtain. We burrow | in the earth to obtain gold from its bosom and consider it our all in all, whereas we can nei- | ‘ther eat or drink it. When sickness lays its | | clammy hand on man, he is not apt to look to, | ‘simple water as a remedy for his disease, but | | like the Assyrian general when told by the pro- | phet to bathe in Jordan, and be cured of his | | leprosy, he scouts the simplicity of the act and the medicine, and turns away. As it was with the Philistine warrior, so it is with men at the present daay, with but few to retract wisely like | him, their first doubtings. Simple salt, is al- most a cure for every thing with sailors,—our ilandsmen would rather seek medicines that come from the Persian Gulf or the wilds of Hin. ¢ dostan. DEVICE OF AN ARAB LADY. For the edification of those who imag: | | ine they can penetrate the designs of wo- | ‘man, we have translated the following | little story. To understand it, we have | ‘to inform our readers, that among the | Orientals it is customary to agree for a) ‘time to pay a stipulated forfeit if a hus. _ band receives from his wife, or a wile from a husband. anything whatever, with- | out previously pronouncing the word Di- adeste. Each, therefore, practices the | greatest ingenuity to throw the ather off | his or her guard. A philosopher of that country, who was | by no means insensible to the female | charms, and often worshipped at their. /shrine ; and as often (as he thought) had | ‘he suffered from their wiles and caprices. But he determined to become wiser. | ‘He collected a number of stories of fe- | /male cunning, and copied them in a book which he always carried about with him, | /as occasion might require, to consult it. One evining, as he was passing through ; an Arab camp, he noticed at the entrance | of one of the tents a young lady of uncom. | 'mon beauty. She saluted him as he pass- | ed, offering that he might enter to rest | fora while from his fatigue. Scarcely hed ho take is seat on iue carpet, and. ‘near@he beautiful creature when he be- | came alarmed; he drew his book from his pocket, and began to read, without | | daring to cast a single glance at his fair. neighbor. “That must be a charming book,” said the lady, “ which can engross your atten- tion so.” | “ Indeed, it is,” replied the philosopher, | “but it contains secrets.” “ Which you certainly would not con- , ceal from me!” said the lady, with an ir- resistible smile. * Since you will have it so,” retorted the philosopher, “it contains a complete list of all the arts and wiles of cunning women—but ] am sure you could not learn anything from it, and so it would not interest you.” “ Are you certain that your list is com- | plete 7” said the lady again. Thus the conversation was gradually resumed, the philosopher pocketed his book. and so far forgot himself and his system of philosophy, that he was kneel- ing before the lady, holding one of her hands between his own ; and who knows what might have been the result, had not the lady espied at a distance, her husband who was returning homeward. Should he find you here, he will put both of us to death. I see but one chance for your es- cape conceal yourself in this box, of which J keep the key.” It may be supposed that the philosopher | did not hesitate long to conceal himself, and the lady locked the box, and drew out the key. As the Arab entered his tent, the lady met him with a smile, say- ing, * You come in good time, for a stranger calling himself a philosopher, stopped at our tent to rest, but so far forgot himself: and propriety, as totalk to me of love.” The Arab began to foam at the mouth with rage ; but who can describe the ag- ony of the philosopher, he could in his re- treat hear every word that was spoken. “Where sball | find the wretch.” ex claimed the Arab,“ that my sword may put anend forever to a simil ; tion.” — Iere in this box.” said the lady, hold. ing out the key, The enraged Arab snatched it out of her hand, but she soon retook it, in a fit of laughter. “Instantly pay me the forfeit, for ] have caught vou at last accepting a thing w ‘th. out pronouncing the word Diuadeste.” Fora While the Arab stood as if petri- fied, and after recovering a little from his. anger said: *] have lost, and must pay the forfeit, but let me request you here. | after to gain your end without giving me such bitter vexation.” After a while the Arab had to attend |to other business and left his tent, and ar presumpe /so many hundreds, and even thousands the box, in aie’ ii und ihe philosopher more dead than ee 3 on srying “ you are safe r the phil- osopher vaulted nimbly from his retreat. “ Depart in peace said the lady to him, “but do not currence in your book.” the lady smlocked WAR DRESS Of the Kyans of the Indian Archipetigo.— In war, the dress of the men differs much from the Dyaks of other denominations. — The jackets they wear on these occasions are nade of the skins of beasts; those of the panther and the bear are most esteem- | ed, but those of goats and dogs are some- | times substituted in a scarcity of the oth- ers. The jacket is formed by a hole be- ing cut in the skin, at about the neck of the animal, through which the head of the warrior is thrust, the skin of the head | of the animal, hanging down over his_ breast, ornamented with little shells, plac- ed over one another, like scales, and to the end of which a large mother-of-pearl shell is attached, which reaches to the, middle.—The broad part of the skin forms the back part of the jacket, the edges of | -which are bound with wide strips of red cloth. —Bunches of feathers of the rhinoc- eros hornbill, which seems to be the war bird of all their tribes, depend from little strings of beads, fastened to the skin and dangle in the breeze as they move about. Strings fixed in the inside of the skin, and_ long enough to tie round the body, pro- tect the dress from being inconveniently blown about, as, were it loose, it would be. Their head-dresses in war are also pecu- liar to these people, and unknown tothe in- habitants of the Island : theyjare of various descriptions, but the favorite ones are caps made in the fashion of a man’s face cari- catured, and those which represent the faces of animals. The caps, which represent monstrous masks, or faces, are formed of a frame- work of rattan, covered with bear’s skin. or the skin of some other animal. Two round pieces of bone are tied by a string. | which runs through them, for eyes; and | a triangular piece serves for the nose. | The mouth is formed of very small cow- | ket prices for work. rie shells, ta resemble the teeth ; and two | of the large canine teeth of the panther | or bear are fastened as turks at its eX. tremities. The top is surmounted with | the tail feathers of the domesti¢ cock on | each side, and at the back by the barred | tail-feathers of the great rhinoceros horn- | bill, or of the argus pheasant. | Another kind of cap is formed round | and surmounted by the head of the rhi-| noceros hornbill, with its great beak ; the skin of the bird’s neck being distended so | as to form the covering of the framework | of the cap. Other kinds are merely orna.- | mented with feathers of the hornbill and argus pheasants, being all, however, cov- ered with the skins of monkeys, or of some | other animals. The caps are not gener- | ally made to fit the head; but anotber | framework inside the outer and larger | one, isgenerally adapted for that pur- | pose.—Low’s Sarawak &c. | | | A PLEASING INCIDENT. | The Sons of Temperance at Middle- burg, Va., had made arrangements to give | a dinner on the 12th of July. The sum of $110 had been subscribed for the pur- | pose ; but upon learning from the Rev J. Poisal, the General Agent of the Virginia Bible Society, who addressed the citizens of Loudoun county, on the 11th inst., that | of families in our State, were without | the Bible, literally perishing for “the bread | of life,” they magnanimously, and with | the most perfect unanimity, resolved to | tranfer the amount thus subscribed, to- the noble objects of the Virginia Bible So- ciety. Some of the members of the Di- vision actually doubled their subscriptions | in view of the paramount claims of this, institution, knowing that, by sustaining the Bible, they most effectually promoted the cause of Temperance, humanity, pa- triotism and christian virtue.

The rebellion appears to have been binmenced by a deputation of Ouvriers. ho waited upon M. Mare at the Luxem- purg. LHe listened to their grievances, nd observing that their spokesman had en active in the affair to the 15.h of fay, said to the men: * You are not the aves of this man; you can state your wn grievances.” ‘This expression was istorted amongst the workmen, that M. farc had called them slaves, and it seems p have been the signal for the conspira- ors, Who had organized a vast movement, ocommence their operations. On Thurs- ay night, the 22d of June, the first barri- ades were raised, and the troops and the ational Guards called out. On Friday, be 23d, the insurgents possessed themn- elves of al! that portion of the right bank f the river Seine, stretching from the Fau- ourgSt. Antoine to the river; whilst on be left bank they occupied all that por- on called the Cite; the Faubourg St. arcel, St. Victor, and the lower quarter St. Jaques. The communication of the insurgents ptween the two banks of the river, was aintained by the possession of the church St. Gervaise, a part of the quarter of be temple, the approaches to Norte Dame dthe bridge of St. Mitchcl. By these Ktensive lines of operations the insur- ents occupied a vast portion of the most slensible part of the city. and actually hreatened the Holel de Ville, which, if hey had succeeded in taking. might have cured the first victory on theirside. On riday there were partial contlicts, but he insurgents seemed to be occupied more t fortifying their positions than in acta- lly fighting; but whatever success the overnment troops may bave had in vari- us quarters where conflicts took place, satSt. Dennis and St. Martin, it now ap- ears that the enthusiastic courage of the nsurgents repulsed them, and even beat hem in other parts of the city. M. La- artine rode with the staff of Cavaignac prough Paris, to quell the insurrection ; t it was evident that nothing but the ower of arms could compel the insur- ents to yield. ‘The government forces ere divided into three divisions, and large asses of troops were brovght to bear ith artillery upon the positions of the in- rgents; bat still Friday passed, and the surrection had evidently gained strength.

At half past 10 the fighting was resumed, and it was only after a frightful struggle of about two more hours, that the government troops every where prevailed, and the front of the insurrec. | tion being broken, the insurgents were either ; shot, taken prisoners, or fled into the country in the direction towards Vincennes. he east- ern qnarters, comprising the faubourgs St. An- tuine, du Temple, Meui!motant, and Peping Court, were the last subdued. ‘The last band took refuge in the celebrated cemetery of Pier- ra la Chaise, but the Guard Mobile hunted them even from this sanctuary, and they were slaugh- tered in the neighboring fields.

In his intercourse with men, he is free, frank, and manly. He plays put hors du combat,—a greater loss than in the most splendid engagements of Napoleon.— Amongst those who fell, are Gen. Megrier, and Gen’s Deartand Brea. Gen’s Charcolnel, and Renault, and others severely wounded. Four oc five members of the National Assem- bly are amongst the killed, and as many more wounded. But the most touching death is that - of the Archbishop of Paris. The venerable prelate on Sunday volunteered to go to the insur- gents as a messenger of peace. Cavaignac said that such a step was full of danger, but | this Christian pastor persisted. He advanced, | attended by his two vicars, towards the barri. | cades, with an olive branch borne before him, | when he was ruthlessly shot in his groin, and fell mortally wounded. ‘The venerable prelate | was ordered by the insurgents to the nearest | hospital, in St. Antoine, where he received the | last sacraments, languished, and has since died. It will probably be never correctly ascertain. ed to what extent the sacrifice of human life in this frightful struggle has reached.

A decree has been proposed | with that object. We have not space to recount | the many acts of individual heroism. Many | soldiers exhibited sublime courage. On the | other hand, the savage cruelty with which the | insurgents waged war, almost exceeds belief.

GENERAL TAYLOR. _ | An intelligent occasional writer in the New York Courier and Enquirer gives the following Extracts of a Letter from the Hon. John C. Spencer, who, while Se- ‘into frequent communication with Gen. (Taylor, which gives a more just idea of his civil qualification than perhaps any- thing that our readers have before seen: “ You ask me tocommunicate the opin- ion, Which you understand has been ex- _pressed by me, in reference to the attain- | ments of Taylor, derived from his corres- \ | myself as asserting that he is master of cretary of War, was necessarily brought | money due the State in that section of country, for Public Lands, he voted to pro- hibit the people paying their debts in Geor- gia money, at a time when this money was the only currency of the country. and when, if the people had not been allowed to settle their liabilities with this money, many of them must have becn ruined.— He voted for the distribution of the School Fund, according to Federal population ; by which means, the people of this part of the State—where the slaves (who ander this distribution draw their portion) are comparatively few, and the poor children who, ought to have been benefitted by this law, are numerous, and scattered over a wide extent 01 country—have been, in effect, swindled out of their just rights. To show how manifestly unjust andjin- jurious such a distribution of that fund is —how utterly ineffective it is, in promo- ting the increase of Common Schools, which are so much wanted by the people of the West, will only refer to the fact, that, under this distribution, one of the rich and densely settled counties in the | East ; receives four or five times as much of this money, as either the counties of -Buncombe, Haywood or Burke, where the white population is more numerous, and _the number of poor children, who need | these Schools, vastly greater. Upon these two last votes of Mr. Reid, the Cherokee Agency, and the School Law—we will _in our next number speak more particu- ‘larly.

Taylor then retired amidst shouts | The bill was then rejected.’ Mr. Reid vot- ber of persons in the neighborhood of the St. Charles Hotel perceived Gen. Taylor in the ladies’ saloon, where he had been invited by General Gaines to witness the display. The moment they caught a glimpse of him they gave three cheers for Old Rough and Ready. General Taylor immediately retired to a part of the room in which he could not be seen; but the crowd continued to increase and with it the cheers for the old thunderer of Bue- -na Vista increased also. Ina few min- utes the streets in and about the hotel were thronged with a multitude of per- sons all cheering Gen. Taylor. Several _ gentlemen of the concourse of persons pre- sent left the crowd and went to General Taylor and desired him to appear at the window of the saloon, as nothing else would satisfy and disperse the accidental assemblage. The General objected to doing so, as it would seem an interference with the appointed ceremonies of the night. But the crowd continued to increase and the cheering likewise; he at length ap- peared at the window. When he was seen by the multitude below, the cheering was deafening. As soon as silence could be obtained Gen. Taylor addressed the people in the street to the following effect : “ Fettow-Citizens—I am accidentally in this city, and would fain be an unob- served spectator of the proceedings of this | night. ‘The evening has been set apart -to do honor to a friend, a brother soldier, vanced their line and possessed themselves of which made the welkin ring.

Reports poured in every hour to he Assembly, and as the intelligence ar- ived of the slaughter of the National vards, and the fall of one General after nother, who was killed or wounded by the nsurgents, the sensation became deep and larming. Various proclamations were issued by avaignac to induce the insurgents to lay Nown their arins, but to no effect. The whole of Saturday was employed n desperate fighting on both sides, exe ept a lull during a frightful thunder orm. In the afternoon of Friday the ronfliets were Without intermission. On Saturday, however, the carnage and bat- e on the south side of the river were hor- ible. During the whole of Friday night nnd until 3 o’clock on Saturday, the roar of he artillery and the noise of the muskets were incessant. On Saturday night at 8 o’clock, the cap- tat was in an awful state. Fighting con- nued with unabated fury.

The Returning Troops.—Our soldiers (says the New Orleans Bulletin) are com. ing back in such crowds that it is quite impossible to collect the names of all the arriving companies and regiments. Since yesterday morning (the 5th instant) nearly eight thousand of them reached New Or- leans from Vera Cruz, Tampico, and the Rio Grande, and the transports which brought them over are stretched out from Lafayette to Slaughterhouse Point. With | but few exceptions, they come back in good health, bronzed by the war, and all in a hurry to reach home ; and as the ut- most dispatch is used by the commanding General at this post and the Quartermas- ter in getting them off, it is to be hoped that in a few weeks we will be able to, notice the departure of the last regiment. | The reward to which these brave men are entitled can be properly meted out to them only where they are best known, and to those points we wish them a safe and speedy return.

Here are the books, and here are altera- tions. Free trade opinions inserted in one edition, and omitted in the other ; the let- ter to Nicholson, against the “ Wilmot Proviso,” inserted in one, and opinions upon the French Revolution taking its place in the other. Instead of being Ja- nus-faced, therefore, Gen. Cass is made to have four faces, one for each of the dif- ferent points of the compass.

This opinion I now deliberately reiterate. You and I know perfectly well that persons who are in the habit of literary composition can detect the style, manner of thought, and turn of expression of a writer. after having been acquainted with some of his productions, with a certainty at least equal to that with which an expert in penmanship can decide upon the signature of one whom he has seen write his name. “] do not mean to deny that Gen. Tay- lor, like Gen. Washington, and like every | other modest man, may have had the aid of aliterary friend in looking over his despatches, written, as they must have been, under excitement and sometimes in haste; and that friend may have erased a redundant word or phrase, or rounded a period. If this be evidence of incapacity, who shall escape? It is notorious that the writings of Washington, and particu- larly his Farewell Address, underwent the revision of Gen. Hamilton ; and that the messages and public communications of every other President have always been subjected to the critical examination of his Cabinet. Indeed, I do not hesitate to say that the men who will submit impor- | tant public papers to the public scrutiny without the revision of a friend, when it can be obtained will evince more presump- tion than good sense. * For forty years Gen. ‘upon the Wilmot Proviso, two upon the volution; and his friends have shown him up in so many ways that he has more lives ‘than acat.

[ Wilmington Journal. When the French Revolution first broke out, it was caught at by Locofocos and hailed as a new and glorious triumph of Republican principles; and when some of the more moderate thinking portion of the people of the country expressed doubt, and especially Whigs, the rabid Locofoco papers denounced them in unmeasured terms as enemies to the spread of Repub- licanism. This was the way the thing was managed, and all no doubt, to add something to the fast-waning popularity of new-fangled democracy, by securing the French voters in the country. In the Senate so anxious were the leaders of the party to introduce resolutions con- gratulating the French on their success in establishing a Republic, that they could not and would not wait to learn certainly, whether law and order reigned supreme oranarchy. This was the way the party acted. With their accustomed fairness attempt after attempt was madc to pro- duce the impression that democracy alone sympathized with oppressed France, and the Whigs, of course with the Monarch- ists, although none of them ever wrote a pare their ballots for chairman for said com- mittee.

I hope the most Cass men, Carolina, cast his vole to retain that por- tion of the old Vagrant Law which pro- vides for the sale of the vagrant for the costs. This is anage of Progress. The Dem- ocrats assume the name of Progressive, yet they put forth a candidate who, with i mouth full of professions of attachment forthe © dear people,” can still sustain and defend a law which, as a remnant of bar- barism, is a disgrace to the Statute book of avy respectable State. The bill against which Mr. Reid voted, substituted a fine and imprisonment for the sale and whip- ping Which were the penalties under the old law. Who can doubt that this more humane punishment is tle most effective in reclaiming and reforming the vagrant? Butthe crime penished under this old law Was nol so much vagrancy as the inabili- itself.” With all the Government abuses of the last twenty years, both Cass and Van Bu. ren are thoroughly identified and onthem they must stand before the people. A letter or two, and a string of resolutions, cannot expiate the enormities of the past, or give either of them any new stauding-place from which te move the country. Now turn to ‘Taylorand the Whigs. The affections—the cenfidence—the gratitude of the American People—to the honest, gallant, true-hearted, pure-minded, patriotic, wise ol: General—who has exhibited in his military career all the great qualities of mind and heart Which quality him for civil service—this is the corner stone of the great Whig platform, whose base is as broad as the Republic.

Faithful to i these great principles the Whigs have always | been, during their existence asa party. ‘The recommended that no furhter steps should be taken against him—the Court has, according to orders, report- ed its opinion on the case—and that opinion, we repeat, is not favorable to Gen. Pillow. “ The proceedings of the Court have for weeks been in the possession of the President. They have been communicated to Gen. Pillow who is so little satisfied with them, as we hear, that he is supposed to be exert- ing all his influence with the President to induce him to send them back to the Court for reconsideration.” and power of his illustrations, rapidly poured forth, and handsomely blended, failed not to elicit repeatedly the most enthusiastic applause. Even our Demo- cratic friends, many of them, were capti- vated ; and if they did not unite in the cheering, found it quite impossible to lis- ‘ten to his anecdotes, so truthfully illustra- ting the professions, the practices, the fol- lies, and the wickedness of the adminis- tration, without indulging a hearty shake of the sides. Weare sure, Mr. Reid’s opinion to the contrary notwithstanding, that the Whigs have never been better pleased with the bearing of a candidate than with that of Mr. Manly. And we | The “Courier” bitterly, but justly, complains that while withholding this report of the Court, Pillow’s name is sent into the Senate for “ confirmation !” Wasunineron, July 18,1848. | The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says the facts in regard to the Court of Inquiry and Gen.

Why, gen- tlemen, the Whigs have cause to be proud of him, when compared with Mr. Reid. Te is a perfect giant in ev- ery particular over Davy, and you ought not to let your dander rise unnecessarily high. Keep cool, we beseech you, for you will hear louder shouts after the election for Manly and Whig principles than ever. lished by Zeiber & Co., Philadelphia, ( thor’s name not known.) the {ollowi sentence appéars: (the writer is speak of the Wilmot Proviso.)

Poverty then and not somuch vagrancy was what Mr. Reid voted to punisu. Mr. Reid did not nor does not consider that poverty cannot of itself make amcnavagrant.

It is universally acknowledged to be a reproach upon our com- munity, to be unlawful and wrong. Why then is it tolerated? ‘There are two ways of puting it down: one, by the force of public opinion ; erful enough, if rightly used, to arrest the evil. Four-fifihs of the community are opposed to the practice—only the selfish few who make money by the trade, and the unscrupulous few, who think to make votes by the debasing in. | fluence of the practice upon some poor unfor-— tunates, are in favor of it. Why then, if only | these maintain it, is it not putdown? Because | the majority have not exerted their moral pow. | er to do it, and the law has stood as a dead leiter | upon the Statute Book. Now, that this may not be so longer, F call upon the Magistrates who condemned and de- | nounced the degrading practice of “Treating | at Elections,” to stand forward like men, who ; meant what they approved, and intended to carry ' out their public resolve, to stand forward boldly, | and let their influence be felt against the abuse ; /[ call upon every man in the community, of | whatever party he may be, who is opposed to the disgraceful and illegal immorality, to de. nounce and discountenance it ; and particularly | upon the association of the “ Suns of ‘Fempe- rance,” whose mission it is, according to their profession, to discourage all drunkenness, to | /come forward now actively to resist the influ- ence and practice of this abomination. In time past too many men of those who owed better examples to the community have not only failed to oppose, but have encouraged and prac- tised this evil. Let us endeavor to make some ' _amend for this by zealous co-operation against It is never too late to correct error If men of all parties unite to do this, what plausible pretence can be offer. ed by any for attempting to renew the corrup. | tion? Heretofure each party has found an ex. | cuse in the conduct of the other; but if the | candidates and the men of influence of both, are | willing to let the voting be done by cool heads | and in decency this year, rather than see dis- order, drunkenness, and rowdyism run riot, why, | whose cause will be injured? Can a good | cause be rightfully sustained by bad means ! Are drunken men more fit to elect capable pub- lic officers than sober ones? or are whiskey and sweet wine qualifiers of an elector? So far, I have appealed to the moral power of the community : if this is not strong enougtt to check the evil, there is another very effectual way of doing it, as I said before ;—by the pow- er of the law. Let this be exerted and enforced ; let the penalty of the Statute be exacted once for this attempt at corruption, and my word for it, there will be an end of “ Treating.” If other influences fail to arrest the evil, this remedy must be tried: ‘The Court follows the | Election. Let the friends of sober voting, of | law, and of order in the Elections mark who shall Jay himself liable to the penalty of the law, by its violation, and however cunningly it now, enforced. I for one am ready to do my part in even this work, without any respect to men or parties. You, Messrs. Editors, hold the responsible | you here the section of the law against Tieat- ing at or before Elections, which I ask you to | publish, together with the Resolutions of the | It will take some little | | ! A CITIZEN. The above Communication came to hand yesterday morning; and although we had | thought the present appearances—the disposi- | tion of candidates and people on both political | sides, as far as we could ascertain them, were opposed—decidedly opposed—to resorting to this abominable practice of Treating, at this | Election ; and although we are satisfied that | these appearances are not deceptive, yet, lo re- pleasure it has ever afforded us, to contribute by the means in our hand to promote the cause of sobriety, especially at a time when men are discharging a sacred duty to their Country, we freely give it a place. Let all read it and re- new their resolutions to frown down this great moral evil. Nay, let each citizen of whatever party, determine for himself, that, as for mr, I shall not encourage it. Rest assured that if this be done, Treating must cease. It is proper that we should acknowledge to ‘our Democratic friends, that this timely remem. | brancer is from a most worthy member of their own party ; and solemnly to declare to them —for their purpose has been firm on the sub- ‘ject for months past—our belief that the | Whigs do cordially approve the sentiments of “ Citizen,” and will go as far as the farthest in their effurts to prevent, in the first instance, this evil; and failing in this—as a last resort, to visit upon offenders the stern rebuke of the law.

WIKST- There are hours when in sorrow we silently prove, In the deyth of our spirits, the power of our luve— When the heart, far removed trom the one it reveres, Looks t anquilly back throu sh the vista of years— On each word, on each look,on each smile,on each frown, On the being whose future is wreathed with its own, Tt ig then that the heart, if it loves, as it dwells \ Om the meetings, the lingcrings, the parting farewells, On the hopes, on the fears, on the blisses and pains Of ite morning of passion, exults in the chains ; . | And it eprings on a pinion that never knows rest, ‘To the one that it loves, like a dove to 113 nest. At ik { THE TRAFIC, &c. | In denouncing the traffic in liquid poison, and warning the community against the toleration of houses for its re- tail sale, we have no intention to inHict injury upon the seller; but we flank!y admit that we are striving to in- jure bis custom and to break up his business—for the wood of that community of which he and ourselves are meprbers—for his and our benefit. During our residence in the town of Petersburg, a pe- tition was presented to us for our signature, the object of which was to induce the Common Council to declare a steam engine in the neighborhood a nuisance, on account of the noise it made and the sparks itemitted. Promi- nent among the rest stood the name of the veriest rum- hele in the place, and upon looking further we discover- ed the names of several others of the toddy stick gentry, who, while they would send the husband home to abuse the partner of his bosom, and sell the disorderly that hich made them more so, coald t endure to have wauich made them more so, could not endure to have thetr blood-bought ease disturbed by the noise of honest labor. the greatest nuisance in society, and deimand relief. In declaiming against moderate drinking, and combat- We consider the bar room not only a great, but ing*the erguments of those who uphold the custom of us- ing and retailing spirituous liquors, we are actuated by the purest motives and driven by the most urgent neces- sity. Onr motives are tu place betore them the folly and dangerous tendency of their course, and make them co- workers in a glorious cause. The necessity which de- nyands this at our hands, is a conviction of duty. Men may complain at our zeal, and charge us with misrepre- sentation of brand us as mediers, because the opposition forges ds to oppose vigor to vigor, but we dare not flinch. He who aells liquor, be who driuks it, as well as the up- | holders of the drinking or se!ling, are opposing the best ! interests of society, and should not wonder at finding themselves in a position where temperance men are obliged ta direct their fires, and consequently smarting with wounds. ONWARD! Laborers in the cause, let this be your watchword.— There are many who were once active and successtul la- borers in the temperance reform, but where are they now? They gave evidence of their devotion to the cause, by their presence at the meeting of the society as well as by their influence and example in the conmunt- ty atiarge. But how isitnow? Itis,alas, tvoevident to the mind of the most casual observer that they have Jost their ardor if not ail interest in the subject. And this is but a partial account of the lamentable course of some ; but we will not look longer at this gloo- iny picture. Let it be remembered that there is great necessity for renewed exertion. The fell destroyer is busily engaged at his work of ruin and death; sail im- meme quantities of tuc! are worse than wasted to keep up the glowing fires of the distillery ; thousands and tens of thogsands of barrels and hogsheads of their poison are sent lo supply the agents in the wholesale and retail dis- tribution of the destructive beverage ; moderate drinkers are fast becowing reeling, gibbering drunkards; and hu- manity is disgraced by the revelings, and curses, and wicked deeds of the slave to his cups. The wife’s des- pair, the erphan’s crics, the parent's anguish, and the heart broken widow's lamentation still followin the track of the dread foe to human happiness. Should not every inactive friead of the cause arouse from his lethargy and apring to energetic effort in behalfof an enterprise whose object ia to arrest the runi-curse in its desolating course ! Before us is a mighty field of labor, a great work is to be acconiplished, and every one who desires so glorious a consummation, should labor on unceasingly and fear- lessly ; bis waickword showid be “ Oxwarp,” and there should be no falung bach in the ranks, no cessation of bostijities against the common foe til he is vanquished or deatb puts a period to al! earthly strife and toil, THE DEVILS RAGGED SCHOOL.

It was With littlesurprise, therefore, that we read the following narrative inthe Buffa- lo Commercial Advertiser of Tuesday : “We learnthatathrilling scene occurred at the suspension bridge at Niagara Falls yesterday afternoon. Four men were passing over the bridge whenit was strack | with one of those sudden and strong gusts of wind which frequently rush through the chasm with the tremendous force of a hurricane, and so twisted it as to turn it bottom upward. The men caught ia the wires, and in this position—suspended about 200 fect above the restless waves beneath—they were enabled to maintain themselves until the alarm was given at the Falls, a mile anda half distant, and the whole population in a bedy rushed to the rescue. ‘The bridge was restored to its former position and the men sayved.— We have not learned the particulars, but can well imagine the deep sensation of the spectators, as well as those whose lives linng upon a thread as it were, during the time which intervened between the acci- dent and ihe rescue.” NO'PFICE | WILL SELL FOR CASH on TULRSDAY of next August Court, a about two miles from Salisbury, adjoining the lands of James Dougherty, John B.

Dr.LE Roys Wild Cherry and Sarsapariifa Pills, Are a strengthening Purgative and a Pu- rifying Tonic. 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- , _ villa 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 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 doit 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 froin 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 | pale and emaciated, but the contrary ; for while it is the | property of the Sarsaparilla, united ag 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.

A country, in the hour of invasion, often exhibits the spec- tucle of daughters presenting sons with a banner, under which they are to conquer or fall. You have, in the spirit of patri- otism and christian adventure, presented us with shield, sword and banner, and we pledge our honor to bear them valiantly in the cause of humanity. We war, but not to shed blood, plunder and burn, but to stay the ravages of vice, soothe the sor- rows of the afflicted and rescue the un- fortunate from death. You urge us on- ward in our work, and are pleased to cheer us with the prospect of deliverance irom the yoke of intemperance through- out our Wide spread Union ; and more es- pecially our own Carolina and our ardent litthke Davie. Would we could realize, at an early day, the delightful scene, when our mothers and daughters should no long- er feel the blight and endure the sorrows of intemperance. But we must expecta long struggle before this is enjoyed. Who- ever thinks victory won is greatly misled. We again, thank you for your help, and invoke a perpetuation of your influence and support and humbly ask your indul- gence while we seek to present the claims ot the Sons of Temperance to others and pmes, Where you may ever bask in the ght of God’s countenance, tune a golden arp to the praises of the glorious Trinity, bam forever on the borders of the crys- hl stream of Life, and sip a cup of fade- ss pleasures.

It is inter- st in this great cause that we must plead sour only apology for thus appearing to ay. We bless the giver of all good that e cause of Temperance is still march- g forward—that man is about to Le res- bed from that depth of degradation into hich he has fallen. And more than this ould we rejoice to think, that Woman is bout to rise triumphant over the Tyrant »> whom she has so long been oppressed, at instead of the tottering Bachanalian, the sound of whose footsteps she shud- red, she may feel that she has one wor- y the name of Husband, who will love d protect her—that the tender trem- ing maiden may no longer sink beneath e fiend-like power of a besotted father, ht fly to his arms, in contidence and in ve—that from the heart of the grey hair- ] matron may no more be wrung the last op af life blood, at the sight of a way- ard and ruined son. We would gladly see the world freed om this despot. We would rejoice to e our Union liberated. Shall we whose anners have played proudly on the moun- in breeze, we Whose songs of triumph ave rung joyously o'er the hills—we who | ave bursted the strong bands of a British Mike, shall we remain subject to this ighty internal foe? No. Our Union shall ) free. Andoh! we would see our own, . rdear Carolina bursting these fetters, e would have her blue mountain tops hich seem wedded as it were to the puds of Heaven, and striving to pene- ate the mysteries of the upper World, e would have these and all her green Allies to echo with a song of mirth and Madness s~but ohh! let it mot be the song the drunken reveller, but a voice that ngs softly and sweetly, sideration of the community. Brothers, Ladies and Gentlemen : ject clear and well defined before their minds. ‘Their designs are open to full in- spection, than the object. They design to arrest the evils of intemperance. are abstinence from all participation in the production, sale, or drinking of the article, causing intemperance, and the cultivation of those affections which lead directly to the social and personal well being of all belonging tothe Order. Itis needless at present to dwell on the evils which spring from intemperance. They are so manifest, so numerous and so hor- ribly appaling, that none can be ignorant of their woful prevalence. To say men are slain, wives heart-broken, children beggared, crime induced, misery of every sort and magnitude accumulated, is only to alflirm what all of us know. Though the evils are of this frightful magnitude, yet it is certain they may be arrested, in part, if not in whole. Enlightened pub- lic opinion, the great lever of reforms, can do much to amend, if not etfectually re- move the enormities caused by this seduc- tive vice. ‘This becomes so evident, as to require no farther proof, by simply reflect-. ing on what has been done. We are ful- ly persuaded, that if the efforts to cure these evils bore any considerable propor- tion to the vastness of their power, they might be greatly alleviated if not effect- ually destroyed. It is a firm conviction that the strength of intemperance can be broken, and its swey indefinitely dimin- ished, that binds together the brother-hood of the Sonsof Temperance. They do fal- ly believe the fearful evil may be stayed. They are pledged it shall be within the circle of their influence. They are also resolved on widening the circle and em- bracing within their influence as many as possible. “ Oh water for me, bright water for me.” nd such glorious things would we wish bo for little Davie—may her sons never arn to quaff the sparkling wine cup— ay the fire of their intellect never be amped by the intrusion of this mighty , pe, but from among them may there rise hose worthy the title * Lords of creation.” We then bid you press onward and up- ard—by the last faint sigh of the expir- g infant—by the stifled glee of child- ood—by the broken-heart of the deserted rife—by the degradation into which ma- y of your own sex have fallen—as you ove your Country—as you love the souls { your fellow men and value the joys of eaven—go forward. The design is thus fully stated, because many suppose, that as the Sons of Tem- perance choose not to hold their regular meetings in the presence of those who op- pose them, therefore, there must be some- thing dark or mysterious, if not vicious or criminal in their proceedings. Is it to be considered a fault, in a bank bill, that it has a mark known alone to those who issue it and are responsible for its redemp- tion ? Is it not the very circumstance, that ‘the managers have taken the necessary precaution to avoid imposition, that bank bills and banks, maintain the public con- fidence? Why then should not they, who are laboring for the good of men, the coun- To which the Rev. B. Clegg, on behalf of the Sons of Temperance, replied as fol- lows : Howoreo Lapies:—To me is assigned he pleasing task of receiving your Ines- imable donation, and expressing to you » acknoWledgements of this Division of he Sons of Temperance.

We do most devoutly pray that the Spi- upon the confidence of the community, be allowed a word or mark by which they assured ones? Has the temperance cause suffered nothing from spurious commend the Order to the favorable con- | crown you and those you represent with a friends? We need but call to mind the numerous lectorers thronging the country, few years ago, whose lives and conduct were a burlesque, if nothing worse on phi- | lanthropy and patriotism, to be fully sat- | isfied, that if temperance men would re- | tain public confidence, they must guard | effectually against impositions. This is | the reason of the pass word, about which | so much is said, and which, in appearance | only, is an exception to the open means | they employ and design toemploy. Here let me remark, that there need be, and: indeed, cannot be, any quarrel between a true fricnd of temperance and a Son of Temperance if they fairly understand each other. Before answering the objections raised against the order. by many well disposed to the temperance reform ; 1 wish to call attention to a few historical facts. | The Temperance movement has been in progress some twenty years. It has ex- hibited beauty and deformity, light and shade at ditlerent periods of its progress. At one time triumph seemed just at hand, | and to force on the event ultraist seized hold with bold enthusiasm and raised the ery the work moves too slow, and forth- with created such confusion and noise that the thoughtful and pradent deemed it advisable to Jet go for tear of mischief aud disaster. Wine was to be excluded {rom sacrament, cider, beer and ale were to furnish the tests of a man’s worth mor- al and political. Things came to sucha pass that the prudent must either seem to advocate the cause of drunkenness, or sanction the measures of fanaticism.— Such was its state when the Washingto- hians conceived they had found out the sure and certain mode of accomplishing a complete reformation and of killing off: the use of ardent spirits. But it so bap- pened these also failed to accomplish all that was hoped for them, siill they did much. The order of the Sons of Temper- ance Was established by the friends of Temperance with a view to amend the delects that were apparent in the other organizations. The leading purpose was to bring the friends nearer to each and. establish a more rigid accountability and stricter supervision over each other.—. Whether this too shall fail time alone can. reveal. That it is better adapted to pre- sh sha the minds of its friends. It might possi- | bly be so modified as to be more aggres- | sive in its nature, but it is doubttul, whe. | ther this advantage could be secured with- | out lessening its preservative energies.— | So its friends without claiming for it per- fection, believe it decidedly the most ef. | fective temperance organization ever de-| vised by man. The good that hasalready | been done, gives high hopes for the future. The Sons of Temperance. have an ob- There are many who desire to see the _cause prosper and to bless the human race, Their means no less visible | The means ol / : a few of them.) One of the most promi- | try at large, and whose success depends can recognize their true friends from their | keep aloof from Temperance Societies ; and from their respectability and virtue, their objections are entitled to cqnsidera- | tion. We therefore propose to examine nent and respectable from its connection with the highest and most important in- stitution known to earth, is that the organ. ization of the Sons of ‘Temperance is sub-- versive of the Church, and seeks to ac- complish by human agency what it was designed to effect. And thus it is said, that human wisdom rises above Divine, | and that man presumes to know better how to reform man than his Maker. It is farther said, that the Church is a great temperance organization of itself, that whoever is a member of the Church, can- not unite with any such associations with- out descending from the higher to the lower ground, andthereby detracting from the dignity of his position as a believer in the Divine authenticity of the Charch.— In answering these objections, we must understand two things, our relation to the Church and our relation to our fellow men. In apswer to the question, what is our re- lation to the Church; we would reply, unqualified obedience to the head of the Chureh, Jesus Christ. We would not have it understood that by obedience to the Church, we are bound to obey those de- crees and dogmas which, men, prompted by ambition and bigotry, have proclaimed as the laws of the Charch and claimed for them authority over men’s consciences. No, itis the Church of the Bible, having Christ for its Head and Law-giver that men are bound to obey. His revealed will is the law; :o His laws and government we owe implicit obedience and supreme al- legiance. If it he assumed that a member of the Church, thus related, cannot be as- sociated with any other organization for whatever purpose, it leads to a frightful position indeed. Say then we belong to the Church and may not belong to any otherorganization adopting worldly means or having worldly ends in view, and where will it drive to? We belong to the Church, then according to this assump- tion, we may not join a Literary Society, it is a worldly association. We may not be a member of a company organized to build ject. We may not be in a company to build a mill, or construct aship. We may not by any means belong to a political party for it is large and may do mischief. We may not at all, be a citizen, or sub- ject, for then we must obey human laws and regulations; and we belong to the Church, and it enacts the only laws right to obey, and her ministers, not ministers of the law, must be heeded. This as- thought of. of the Church it is the offspring of chris- a Rail Road. This is a worldly ob- sumption then would drive us from the world, or lead directly to the union of Church and State, with the higher prero- gatives of Church authority exercised over men in all relations. We all know the Bible teaches us better than this. only may, but we must be united for the fulfilling of the duties of the other rela- | tions which we bear. We can no more destroy the fact, that we are related to: men, than that we owe obedience to the; _,; . 5 ( ‘ © | price, at an average distan While one is supreme, it | F 8 SOG US AS laws of God. claims by virtue of its supremacy, that points authoritatively that we must “do good to others as far as inus lies.” Now who can see any thing either in the prin- | ciple of organization of Sons of Temper. ance or means of accomplishing the ends incompatible with doing good to others! The Sons of Temperance deny they are subversive to the Church in any of its clatms. They as an organization, may help the Church and be an insirument in her hands as learning, printing, the arts and the sciences have been abettors of her plans and used as means to send the Gospel to the destitute. She may grasp, in the same way, this organization, for it bor- rows its principles, its motives and plans from the treasure-house of the Church.— We may as Sons of Temperance. reach cases that the Church cannot in its ordi- nary mode of procedure. The Sons of Temperance had never been in existence but for the vital energies of the Church. diffusing power, emiting light, and stirring action where it never would have been So far from being subversive tian benevolence, warmed into vigorous action by the fostering care of the Church itself. The most prominent personage urging this argument, in this State, Ihave reason to fear has been guided to this con- clusion, rather by a iove of the ardent than by the cool deductions of his intellect. 1 have too much respect for his pretensions as a man of mind, to believe his judg- ment, uninfluenced by passion, would have sunk so far below the just estimate of those noble appliances offered to the Church as instruments to be employed in the renovation of the world. > pr (UThere is another objection urged by serve its conquests little doubt remains in | some that it may be well to notice. Some neither to make, nor sell, is pushing the requisition too far, especially for this Coun- ty. For, say they, this will interfere with trade and lead to the ruin of the commu- the money brought into the County by whiskey. I can hardly trust myself to speak of this business. For view it as I will, it has so very little to commend it, that Iam at a loss how to reconcile the subject as it appears with the known good sense, practical judgment, and generous sentiments of many interested in making and selling whiskey. I have come my- self to the conclusion, that it would be better to abandon it at once, that it would be fur the pecuniary and moral advantage of our country and no less so for our own County. Show many the moral and social ills, the exceeding degradation arising from the productéon and sale of liquor, and they are entirely insensible of any sort of connection therewith. They made or sold it, or both as the case may be, but did not drink it, and therefore they cannot be at all the cause of those deaths and suffer- ing around them. We need not then ar- gue with men of this class on this ground at all, though in fact it is, and must al- ways so appear to right minded persons, the strongest on which to argue this point. But for the sake of gaining their attention for the present they may choose and main- tain their favorite position with their own argument fairly stated. It is the only means, say they, of getting money to pay our taxes, to support the church, and pay for those little conveniences not produced onafarm. If it were possible for a sin- gle individual solitary and alone to pro- duce, sell and get his money, there might be some force in the argument. Admit that whiskey brings money and more than any other article now brings into this County, it does not follow that there is no other, nor even a better way to invest capital and expend industry. Let us try this by facts and calculation. There were senventy-five distilleries in Davie county in 1840, with an investment of $20,000 capital, which produced 109,299 gallons of whiskey. There have been some fai- lures, some new distilleries put into ope- ration so that balancing fractions, that may be assumed as a fair average year’s production. Supposing the 9.290 gallons consumed at home, there re- mains 100,000 gallons for market. That, at home worth 25 cents per gallon, onan average amounts to, $25,000 When hauled an average distance ef 75 miles worth 30 cents per gallon and amounts to, The hauling, allowing 300 gals. to the 4 horse load and $30 per trip, amounts to exactly Cost of Corn, allowing 3 gallons | to the bushel, is at 30 cents per , bushel, Board, clothing and wages of 76 | hands at $100 each per year, | (number employed in 1840) | Interest on capital invested $20,- 000, is ' One thousand cords of wood at 50 30,000 10,000 10,000 7,600 1,200 We not | assiduous care requisite to prevent loss on nity, since every thing here depends upon the investment. _be taken into account. raised with a distillery kept in it. there i 'at least one drunkard made by the distil- fraction of | direct tendency of the trade.

Wasbington Hant, | the Representative of that district in Con- i gress declining being a candidate for re- | ‘election to the body of which he isa faith- ‘ful and most deserving member. The Report which be has lately made to the House of Representatives, as the organ of one of its committees on the policy of Internal Improvement—the length ol which has caused us reluctantly to defer its publication until we shall have more room at command—is alone and of itself sufficient to stamp lis character as a statesman. In the Letter to which we refer, Mr. Hunt takes occasion to communicate to his constituents the grounds upon which he supports the election of Gen. Taylor to the oflice of President ; grounds which appear to be so substantial and suffi- cient, that we extract from his letter the paragraphs which include them. “ A change in the Administration of the Government is imperatively demanded. The national honor and well being re-— quires it; in my judgment it is necessary | to the stability of our national institutions. “In the present posture of affairs, I can, sce but one practicable way to accom- plish such achange. The election of Gen. Taylor is the only alternate. I am aware that many of you desired a different selec- tion, and in this my sentiments agreed with yours. While Mr. Clay would have been my personal choice, afier learning that the Kentucky delegates were unta- vorable to his nomination, it appeared to me that the candidate should have been taken from the North, on grounds of justice and expediency. But the free States were not united, and on the final vote a major- ity of the Convention declared for Gen. Taylor; some votes having been given for him by every State in the Union. Whatever regret or disappointment may have been occasioned, I cannot but feel that we are bound in honor and _ patriot- ism to support the nomination, Person. al preferences, in such a crisis, are subor- dinate to public duty. “If there were no other reason for sup- porting Gen. Taylor, it would be enough _for me to know that in electing him we defeat Gen. Cass, and arrest the policy of the party in power. If Gen. Cass should chance to be elected. we are forewarned that the worst measures of this Adminis- tration will be continued. In respect to our foreign policy, he has labored inces- santly in the Senate (and I believe suc- cesslully) to satisfy the country that he cannot be outdone in the extravagance of his views. Instead of cultivating a spirit of peace and the arts of civilization, he seems to consider it the first duty of a statesman to prepare the hearts of the people for ‘inevitable war. His patriot- ism luxuriates in visions of endless con- quests and unbounded sway. He stands ready to ‘swallow’ all Mexico, Yucatan, and Cuba, ‘ peaceably if we can, forcibly if we must.’ “ No pent up Uiica contracts our powers, But the whole boundless continent is ours.” “His theory of territorial expansibility -and manifest destiny, can be realized on- ly through « long course of war, devasta- tion, and debt, engendering social misery and political corruption, introducing new elements of discord into our political sys- tem. till finally our glorious Union will be by the iron power of military despotism. It is impossible to contemplate the elec- tion of a President entertaining such views without melancholy forebodings for the country. In my opinion we are bound to avert the calamity. How shall it be done? There can be but one answer. It must be by the efforts of the Whig par- ty of the Union in support of Gen. Taylor. ~The Whigs have chosen him for their candidate, and for one, I feel no difficulty in sustaining him. Though a military man, who has served his country in bat- tle, Gen. Taylor is an enlightened friend of peace. He hasseen the miseries of war and regards it as an evil to be avoided by every honorable expedient. In our foreign relations he would be guided by principles of justice and moderation. He was opposed to the annexation of Texas, and is adverse to any future acquisitions. ~We have good ground for believing that under his Administration the spirit of the ‘territorial aggrandizement and rapacity will be expelled from our councils. “Gen. Taylor is a Whig in the same sense that Washington and Harrison were Whigs. We have the most satisfactory assurances that he will form a Whig Cab. inet and administer the Government upon broad Whig prince’, les, with a single eye to the welfare of the country. Whilst faithful to the constitution and true to his political principles, yet as President of the United States, he will elevate himself above the atmosphere of faction and in- trigue. After our recent experience, the American people onght once more to make a President who will regard our Govern- ment as a trust too sacred to be turned into a party machine. and bimself as some- thing more than an instrument in the bands of partizans. We want aman who will feel that he is the Chief Magistrate of a great people, and be animated by a desire to promote the interests of the whole country —one who will respect co-ordinate branches of the Government and confine himself to his appropriate functions. No- thing short of this will realize my idea of what a Whig President should be.” Distressing Casualty.—An accident, at- tended a melancholy loss of life, took place yesterday on the front beach of Sullivan’s | Dr. Edmund Ravenel, and the others daug- | ters of Col.

The Cleveland spéech of Gener- al Cass is as ‘Worthy of perpetual remem- branceas his Chicago letter. Judge Wood had been selected to tender to the Gener- al the hospitalities of the-city, and was anxious to give him an opportunity of set- ting himself right before the Northwest- ern people on two very important and in- teresting subjects. He pressed the Gen- eral warmly to come out like a man, and | telll them whether or not he was opposed to the improvement of the Western rivers and harbors, and how his administration would behave on the subject of slavery. The Judge told him that the people were ready to hear him and would Listen witu THE GREATEST PLEASURE. Now it was ra- ther an impeachment of the good manners of his audience for the General to protest that they were in such a riotious state, that he could not discuss such matters be- fore them. And yet such was the excuse. Why did not he give the érue reason ? Why not say like a man that he had clo- sed his profession of political faith? That he believed the resolutions of the Balti-— more Convention—nothing more, and no- thing less. But he could uot be betrayed into speaking the truth. We republish this speech for the pur- “pose, more particularly, of calling atten- tion to the fact that General Cass here adopts the Taylor doctrine on the subject of pledges. Compare what we have ital- icised in the following speech, with what General Taylor says in the Allison letter, and we find the sentiments identical. Cer- tainly, any new pledges at Cleveland would bave been altogether EXTRA; and we all know that the General has a holy horror of extras of all kinds. We annex the speech : “ Sir the NOISE and CONFUSION which pervade this assembly will prevent my being heard on the im- portant topics to which you have called my attention. | I inust, therefore, content myself with tha: sing you for the generous reception which I, the unwor:>~ represen- tative of the Democratic party of the country, nave re- ceived at your hands. “ Fellow-citizens, fifty years ago when a lad of 17 years, I first looked upon this Northwestern Territory, then containing a population of 20,000, now covered with 5,000,000. “No young man in the nation was then more unlike- ly to eccupy the proud position to which I have been assigned, than 1 was. A beautiful illustration this, of the genius and character of our glorious institutions ! ! ! Let us, fellow-citizens, cling to these institutions as long as we have strength. “‘T hope you have all read the letter which I address- ed to the National Democatic Convention. that to be the close of my political professions. Fellow- citizens, if forty-two years of services for my country, in the cabinet and the field, in city and on prairie, at home and abroad, do not furnish sufficient pledges, then any thing which I might say now would be mere delu- sion. « Again I thank you for the distinguished reception which you extend to me.” Now, will our friend of the Union abuse General Taylor any longer for abstain- ing from any other pledges for his future good conduct, than is to be found in the history of his past services? , An Apr Ixtuustration.—The Editor of the Haverhill (Mass.) Gazette, in a dig- nified reply to an insulting communica. | tion, abusing him for supporting Gen. Tay- lor, forcibly illpstrates the position of the « dissaffected Whigs” by astriking simile. Ite says: “Our writings against the nomination of Taylor are quoted with all imaginable absurdity, as if they pledgedjus to oppose his election after the question is reduced broken into fragments or held together | to him or Cass. We are accused of dis- honesty, and asked why we do not go to ‘picking pockets for a living if we can- not afford to be a man” We can afford to be a man, but not to be an idiot, and feel that we can no more justly be charged with dishonesty or inconsistency than the man who should refuse to take passage across the ocean in a packet ship because he had objected for some reason to that particular ship being put onthe line. Ac- cording to these wise casuists, he should throw himself into a mud scow, without the slightest regard to its capacity of ev- er reaching the destined shore, and do all in his power by torpedoes, fire-balls, and false lights, to wreck the ship to which he had objected.” One of the Cincinnati papers gives an ac. count of a man in that city, who, after taking an emetic, threw up a snake twelve inches long. We advise the Locofoco party in this city to take an emetic and throw up the reptile of the Democrat, unless it chooses to get rid of him by a cathartic—as the Whig party did. [ Loutsville Journal. General Taylor in Congress.—Of all who call themselves Whigs in Congress, there are but three who decline supporting General Tay- lor—Messrs. Giddings and Root, of Ohio, and Mr. Palfrey, of Massachusetts ; and these three are hot abolitionists.

Congress, who served with him, is explicit upon the point of his freedom from any taint of Abo- litionism. A. H. H. Stuart, Esq., Whig Elector of the | Augusta District, in which, on his own knowl. | edge, derived from service in Congress and per- | sonal intimacy with him, he pronounces the charge of Abolitionism untrue, and pledges himself to prove it to be so, before the people. Mr. Crockett—son of the famous David - Crockett—who was in Congress from the dis- | ‘trict in Tennessee formerly represented by his = ae: father, and who now edits the N. O. National —says: | “© We know Millard Fillmore, having served with him and worked with him for four years in the national coun- | cils, and we know him to be as free from the taint of abolition as any man in this union. He isa republican of the old school, and he would have to be unfaithful and untruc to himse!f, to be untrue and unfaithful to the | great body of the people of this country. He is em- phatically one of them. He does not “ act” and “ sym- | pathise” with abolitionists as charged, but he “acts” and sympathises” with the great body of the honest, | hardfisted mechanics and laborers of our country, for he | is one of them. The mechanics of the United States will glory in such a man as Millard Fillmore, because ‘he has added to the dignity of their profession and pur- suits, by raising himself from the position of an humble, | industrious and respectable mechanic and laborer to the | front rank of statesmen.” Dr. Francis Mallory, of Hampton, at a late ' dinner given near that town, made a speech in favor of the Whig nominee. As Dr. M. was the first man, we believe, in Virginia, to nomi- nate General ‘laylor for the Presidency, it may be supposed his speech was eulogistic of the old Hero. He bore testimony in regard to Mr. Fillmore, which ought to satisfy any man, we think, as to the falsity of the charge made a- ‘gainst Mr. Fillmore. Dr. Mallory belongs to the ultra school on Southern rights, and we think the South might trust any man pronounc. ed by him ‘ moderate and conservative on the subject of Slavery.’ Dr. M. is reported as | saying: “ He had served six sessions in Congress with Mr. F., was intimately acquainted with him, knew his opinions | well, and declared that he was a quiet, mild, amiable gentleman, of high qualties and undoubted abilities, and | decidedly moderate and conservative on the subject of slavery ; and that, speaking from his personal informa- tion, be preferred Mr. Fillmore as Vice President to any man at the North that he knew. Dr. M. concluded by promising soon to enter actively into the canvass for Taylor and Fillmore.” Mr. Wise, in a late specch, in Norfolk, is reported to have said that Mr. Fillmore’s views on the slavery subject were ‘* moderate,” and, therefore, more dangerous. We leave it to our readers to digest the philosophy of this inference as best they can. Mr. Fillmore is doubtless not a pro-slavery man. He does not believe slavery to be a social, moral and political bless. ing—he is not a Northern man with Southern | principles—he doubtless regrets the existence of slavery in the South—but he believes that (it is a subject with which interference by the North would do harm, even if that interference could be exerted in a lawful and constitutional ‘manner, which he does not believe it can be. He, therefore, regarding the institution as one -of a local and domestic character, leaves it to the legislatures of the respective States, to ‘be managed as the people of the Southern States may think proper, each for itself. _ Mr. Wise says Mr. Fillmore is moderate in his views upon slavery. He, probably, there. ‘fore, never expressed himself in stronger lan- guage upon the subject, than the man whom Mr. Wise is now supporting for the Presidency. Gen. Cass, in his celebrated letter on the free- _dom of the seas, says :—‘* We are no slave- holder; we never shall be; we deprecate its existence on principles, and pray for its aboli- tion every where, when this can be effected justly, peaceably and easily for all parties.”— In his Nicholson letter, he furthermore says : “We may well regret the existence of slavery in the Southern States, and wish they had been saved from its introduction.” We thus present the testimony of Messrs. Stuart, Crockett and Mallory, who speaks from personal knowledge of the course and sentiments of Mr. Fillmore, to prove that he is NOT an Abolitionist. We ask all candid men, if it ought not to refute the charge of the Enquirer that he is,—unsupported as that charge is by any show of evidence deserving notice. We cite Mr. Wise also to prove his innocence, for the ad- mission that Mr. Fillmore’s views about slavery are ‘moderate, and, therefore, the more dan- gerous,” is a position which we think amounts | to a virtual confession that the charge of Abo- litionism is utterly unfounded, as Mr. Wise | would not pronounce any views savoring of | Abolitionism ‘“¢ moderate.” A rather remarkable scene occurred in New Orleans lately. Some Volunteers, belonging .to one of the Kentucky Regiments returning _ from Mexico, left the camp and visited the city, for which they were arrested and placed under guard. ‘They sued out a Habeas Corpus, un- , der which Generals Taylor, Butler and Brooke, were brought before the Court. ‘The Volun- teers, through their counsel, Mr. Prentiss, alleg- ed that they had engaged to serve during the ' war, and that the war had been ended, and in proof of the fact produced the proclamation of Gen. Butler, announcing peace. appeared in court and argued, very conclusive- ly, that peace had not been officially promulga- ted. The court took time to consider, and the next day delivered an opinion against the dis- charge of the soldiers, and remanded them to ‘the custody of their officers, pre REET «MR. FILLMORE .

(4) >: ; | Mr. Clayton said the swbjects referred to this | committee were of infinite difficulty. ‘The ter- ritories for which.temporary civil governments .wereto be .organized embraced an area oO ‘1,044,492 square miles—about as large as that of one-third of all Europe, and capable of sus- taining, sooner or later, the population of a mighty empire. ‘The intrinsic difficulties ne- | cessarily belonging to such an organization were increased by the nature and character of the "population now existing there, as well as that: ‘hereafter to be introduced by the extension of ‘the constitution and laws of the United States | over so vast a country. | The committee had entered upon the dis- ) charge of their duties, under all these cembar. | ous resolution, and an indefatigable spirit, ‘which he had never known surpassed. He conferences and laborious discussions on the various topics necessarily considered by them, ‘them, each endeavoring to maintain the honor and interest, not merely of his own part of the country, but of the whole nation, and each en- deavoring to yield so much as he felt could be "properly and honorably conceded withoutethe sacrifice of what was essentially due to*his own constituents and the people of all the States. ‘he conferences of the committee _were in this spirit—attended with free and am- ple discussion—and, after a full interchange of ' views, a vote was taken on a proposition mov- ed by the Senator from Missouri, (Mr. Atchi- son,) “that the spirit of the Missouri compro- mise be adopted to govern the settlement of all territories of the United States.” On this ques- tion the committee divided, five for and three against the motion. ‘I'he Senator from Indiana (Mr. Bright) then moved the proposition, no- tice of which had been previously given, con- taining the words of the Missouri compromise. As the condition of the territory was now said to be different from that to which that compro- mise applied in 1820, a motion was made by the Senator from Kentucky, (Mr. Underwood) to amend that proposition by providing that all the territory in New Mexico and Califor. nia, south of the parallel of 36° 30’, sball be placed on the same footing in all respects as to _ slavery that existed in Louisiana while it was a territory.”’ On this question the committee divided, fuur fur the motion and four against it. After the failure of this motion, the question was taken on the proposition of the Senator from Kentucky, and with a like result—the committee being again equally divided. At this stage of the proceedings all compro. mise appeared to be impossible. But the com- mittee proceeded to consider a proposition to endeavor to adjust the great question, at least so far as to enable Congress to extend the laws over and provide for the administration of Jus- tice in the Territories, Jeaving for the present the settlement of it to the laws of population, or the adaptation of soil, climate, and all circum. stances to the various kinds of labor. While it was admitted on all sides that by far the greatest portion of the Territories was proper- ly adapted to free labor, and would necessarily be free soil forever, yet it was also with equal unanimity conceded that there was a portion of it Where free labor never could be introduced, ‘owing to the climate and the peculiar produc. lions of that portion. [t was thought that Ore. _ gon, Which no one imagines can ever be slave- holding, could be organized as the people of that ‘Territory desired, by the temporary adop- lion of their present laws in’erdicting or pro- hibiting slavery ull the territorial legislature proposed to be organized by a popular vote, on- der the bill referred to us, could enact some law on the subject, most of the objections which bad been urged in debate to the 12th section _ would be obviated without any sacrifice of prin- ciple by those who urged them; and that, after thus disposing of the question, so far as relates to Oregon, the Territories of California and New Mexico could be organized in the same bill by the appointment of a governor, senator, and judge ; to compose, according to the old precedents, a temporary Legislature for each of ihese Territories, but without the power to le- gislate on the subject of slavery, thus placing that question beyond the power of the Territo- rial Legislature, and resting the right to intro. duce or prohibit slavery in these two Territo- ries on the constitution, as the same shall be expounded by the judges, with a right of appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. It was thought that by this means Congress would avoid the decision of this distracted question, leaving it to be settled by the silent operation of the constitution itself; and that in case Con- gress should refuse to touch the subject, the country would be slaveholding only where, by the laws of Nature, slave labor was effective and free Jabor could maintain itself. On the other hand, in case Congress should hercafier choose to adopt the compromise line of 36° 30’, (north of which, I suppose, it is not expected that slave labor can be introduced,) or any oth- er rule of settlement, it will be free to act as to its wisdom and patriotism shall seem fit. After many conflicts of opinion, these views thus generally expressed were substantially agreed upon with great unanimity, all the mem. bers of the committee agreeing to make the re- port, and but two of them (one from the North and the other from the South) disapproving any of the material features as they understand it. By order of the committee, I have prepared a bill in accordance with these views. It con- tains some important amendments to the Ore. gon bill, particularly so far as it corrects the coecuite descriptions of the boundaries in that ill. I do not expect, sir, that this or any other pro- position which the wit of man can possibly sug- | gest will prevent agitation on this subject, | which is now daily spreading through the coun. | try, and, I fear, dividing it into geographical parties. If the Missouri compromise of 36° 30’ should be adopted, the agitators would im- mediately raise the standard of repeal, and ag- | We know that, si. | itate as fiercely as ever.

The bill was then read a first time aud og imously ordered to be printed. On motion the Senate adjourned. et THE COMPROMISE. tr In the U.

Tay- ‘Jor, the candidate and friend of the People. On motion of Mr. Luke Blackmer, to appoint a Com- | mittee of five to draft resolutions for the organization of | a Rough and Ready Club, the Chairman appointed the following gentlemen, viz: Luke Blackmer, Samuel W. | James, Robt.

Resolved, That in Millard Fillmore, the Whig Can- didate for Vice President, we recognize a man of goad | principles, good talents, sound judgment and long expe- rience in public affairs, undoubted integrity, and unsul- | lied character.

Aja meeting of the Royal Agricultural So. ciety of England, some time since, Professor Sewell remirked that he bad found old horses shed with a layer of leather, forming an arti- ficial sole between the shoe and the hoof, re- cover frum the severe affections causing inju- ries to the hoof; such, for instance, as contrac- tions, brittleuess, sand cracks, or even disease of the foot itself, as thrushes, canker, corns, &e.,.apd perfectly regain its original elasticity and firmness. ‘The mode in question had heen practised by Professor Sewell tur the Tast thirty years.— Ib. a line of House’s Telegraph between the Fare. 4 Tea, C spe Frofessoe W. Parker, of t ew be of Physicians ond Surgeons, at ‘clinica] leeture, esamined a man who led with palpitation of the heart. #he ‘states that no physical signs of organic diseawe of the heart could be detected; and hence we may conclude, says Prof. P., “ with much eertainty, that all the cardiac disturbance is purely functional, depending on derangement of the digestive organs—and this organ depend- ing on the free use of tobaeeo, tea and coffee, and confinement within doors.” | What then are the indications of treatment ? Shall we give physic in such a case? Will physic cure bad habits? Nota bit of it. Let the patient | simply throw away his tobacco, his tea and his coffee ; adopt a plain, wholesome diet, and take ‘regular exercise in the open air, and be will soon be well; in a word, remove the causes of derangement and the effects will cease.—Ib. f the Heart {- | | | INFLUENCE OF NATURE. All men need sometimes to be alone and to | be quiet. It is good for one to open his eyes | and heart to the influences of the vatural world. | In the solitudes of nature, man’s voice is silent only that Divine voices may be heard. There, | if it is sometimes difficult to do yood actions, it 'is also difficult not to think good thougbts.— | What we think of is determined very much by | what obtrudes itself upon the senses. On the _wharf, or the exchange, with the sights and sounds of business on every side, one’s thoughts ‘turn naturally into the channels in which flow the thoughts all around him. In the country 'what one hears and sees suggests entirely dif- ferent. meditations. ‘The universal harmony ; stills his fretted passions. All the objects | which the eye rests on, speak of infinite wis- /dom and providential care. ‘The atmosphere | which he breathes is as healthy for the soul as Vitis for the body. He goes out at * eventide i to meditate ;” and heaven and earth transfigur- ed as their true glories are revealed, he returns ‘feeling that he has been standing inthe temple of the Most High. The Pine Distemper.—The Mobile Herald says that the disease which is destroying the | pine forests of the Carolinas, has made its ap- pearance in Baldwinco., Ala. Itexhibits some singular phenomena, Occasionally it proceeds | ) { { /ina straight Jine, destroying not only the full | | grown trees but the small shoots just springing jup. Vhen again it goes into circles, leaving trees in the intermediate spaces sound and vig- | orous. | been girdled ; the leaves wither and fall off, land the trunk soon runs to decay. Our infor- /mantdoes not attribute the cause of this strange distemper to worms. ‘The only one seen about it is the common one peculiar to the pine trees. His impression is, that the cause is entirely an atmospheric one. Heads and Texts.—TVhe exceilent and ec- centric Rowland Hill when once in Scotland, | 1 a - 5 | Witness, C. F. Lowe, Clerk of our said Court at Office, | was found fault with because he had no heads | ee 4 and particulars in his sermons. When he next | \ | ascended the pulpit he made an apology for past | omissions, and announced that be should now | have four heads—how many particulars he did bot yet know :—irst, he should go round about his text ; second, he should come up to his text; | third, he should go through his text; and fourth, | he should go away from his text. Colonization.—There are now five expedi- tions afloat, bearing five hundred emancipated emigrants to Liberia. ionsly await the ability of the Society to send them. — The Steamship Niagara was absent from | \ | | | | { | An equal number anx. | Boston only twenty-seven days, during which she made two passages across the Atlantic, and | laid in Dock five days. Fearful Fall.—A_ British soldier lately fell from the cliff of Cape Diamond, at Quebec, into St. Lawrence street, a distance of three hun- | dred feet. He was, of course, dashed to pieces, It is not known how he came to fall, but it is supposed that he got dizzy in looking over the Weights, Harvest Drink. —Ten gallons of cold water, one gallon of molasses, one quart of vinegar, and half a pound of ginger, well stirred togeth- er, makes a refreshing drink. ‘I'ry it. Spiritu- ous liquors, are, as they ought to be, almost en- tirely banished from the harvest field. Revenge Extraordinary.—\ wag having a dispute with a man who kept a sausage shop, and owing him a grudge, ran into his shop one day as he was serving several good customers, with an immense dead cat, which he quickly deposited on the counter, saying, “ ‘This makes niueteen ; as you are so busy now we'll settle some other time 3” and he was off in a twink. ling. ‘The customers aghast soon fullowed him. So says the Boston Mail. Respect.—Honor and integrity always com. mand respect from the most vicious and profli- gate, and they wiil stand when crowns crumble to dust, and are forgotten, and when *“ man’s best monuments have passed away.” Wisconsin extends from Lake Michigan to the Lake of the Woods—a distance of 1000 miles. Dividing this whwe territory into two equal parts, each part would be as large as the S:ate of New York. The longest day in Great Britain, is two hours and twelve minutes longer, than the longest day in the United States ; and the shortest day in the United States is one hour and fifty minutes lunger than the shortest day in Gr. Britain. A new plan for float out anchors and chains, by the use of air bags, is coming into use, as being more safe than the old plan by boats. | which often endangered the lives of the buats’ | crew. A black snake, measuring nine feet and sev- en inches in length. was lately killed near the | town of Dunstable, N. H., by Mr. Lyman Whit. | man. ___ Public Speakers.—It is stated that Daniel | Webster speaks at the rate of from eighty to one hundred and ten words per minu e ; Gerrit Smith, from seventy to ninety ; Dr. Ty ng, from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and forty ; Mr. Botts, from one hundred to one hun- dred and twenty ; Mr. Clay from one hundred _ and thirty to one hundred and sixty ; Mr. Choate |and Mr. Calhoun, from one hundred and sixty | to two hundred. | dec’d, upon Saturday the 5th day of August next, TWO TRACTS OF LAND, : ; . on ~ ? | a Negro Man slave, named SAM.

(The presentation of the name of Gen. ylor as a candidate for the high office President of the United States, and the nsual circumstances attending his nom- tion, with its cordial acceptance by so ye a portion of the people, as a candi- e free from any of those ultra party dges so usually exacted from competi- ss for lofty public positions, render it pally interesting and important to un- stand the whole inner framework and , ure, the mind, the character, the prin- es, private and public, of a man whom whelming public sentiment seems al- fy to have pointed out as the next ief Magistrate of the Republic. The best, the fullest, and the most sat- etory exposition of all these particu- rs, will be found in the simple narra- of some of the most important and lliant achievements of his life. His nlities speak in his acts; and his acts ye been always great ones: his spirit, mind, his sentiments, both moral and litical, his whole character, are expres- 1, with a grand lucidness, on what is w the recorded page of hix country’s tory; and to those acts and that histo- we would commend all free citizens of United States, who, before casting eir votes in the approaching election, ogid know his qualifications and pecu- rfitness to occupy worthily the chair e so beneficently filled by the Father ' his Country. The character of Taylor is one that h kindles the heart and satisties the igment. It opens scenes of glory, upon hich every American can ponder with oud satisfaction ; and with none the less probation that, amid them all, the chief d ruling actor in every scene in a plain, Im. frank, una(fected, clear-headed, kind- arted American citizen, who reconciles pe lofty merits of the hero with the sim- e virtues of a true republican. General Zachary Taylor comes from a rdy and patriotic stock, worthy to give President tothe United States. His fa- er, a son of the Ancient Dominion, a ighbor and friend of Washington, com- anded one of the Virginia regiments du- ng the Revolutionary war, through which fought with honor. Before the Revo- tion, however, in his early youth, he had oved his courage, and the true Armeri- n spirit of adventure, by exploring the rest mysteries of the great Mississippi alley—then a howling wilderness, pas: red by the buffalo, and roamed by the vage red man. U Leaving his brother surveying lands on p site of the present city of Louisville, here be was soon afterwards slain by p Indians, Richard, the bravest adven- er of the day, proceeded on a solitary pedition of discovery, westward as far the Mississippi river; whence itis said tirely alone, he made his way safely ek to Vieginia, through the unknown lds of Tennessee. At the close of the plutionary struggle, inthe year 1785, went a second time to Kentucky to sisit it, to pass his life among the scenes lowed by his brother's blood. Ie went an emigrant, with a wife and three iidren; of whom the youngest, born in ange county, Virginia, on the 24th of ovember, 1784, and then less than a year d, was Zacuary Taytor, @ true child of » border, reared amid the perils, and ivations, and severe labors of every kind hich they encountered who, in that day, claimed the desert from the barbarian, nd founded the institutions of freedom in e depths of the forest. It was in this hardy school that Taylor quired the education and qualities, the mple habits and manly virtues, which ave, at length, lifted him up to view as ne of the renowned men of the werld, d commended him to the confidence of enty millions of American freemen, as yorthy to serve them, in the Executive hair, as the representative of their sov- reignty. Where is the man to be found ore worthy of the honor? Did the fa- her, who so anxiously guarded his little mAmily through the dangers of the “ Wil- erness Road” to Kentucky, or the mother ho bore the youngest born in her arms, ream, in the fearful nightwatches of the yoodiand camp, that the helpless infant, lumbering on its bed of leaves, should, fter the Jong interval of sixty-three years, umble the pride of Mexico at Buena ista, and return from that field of fame, > rule, three years later, a mighty repub- ie, which, at the early day of that jour- ey, had no constitutional existence ? No; was that Providence alone, which fore- es and directs the atfairs of men, that prepared the extraordinary destiny of the ittle wanderer; and even President Mach on, a relative of the family, when, in 808, he sent a lieutenant’s commission to achary, then a young Kentucky farmer, ose elder brother, Lieutenant Taylor, a just died in the army, only deemed that he ‘had secured to the country the oted service of another member of a atriotie family. Thirty-seven years more ere.get to roll, before the eyes of men ould be competent to read the horoscope f the young subaltern of the 7th regiment of United States infantry. Lieutenant Taylor commenced service, under the command of General Wilkin. son, at New Orleans; whence having ‘close of the war of 1812. been prostrated by yellow fever, he was o transferred to the Northwest, where he. expected prey, THE CAROLINA WATCE BRUNER & JAMES, Editors & Proprietors. | “ KEEP A CHECK UPON ALL YOUR Ru.ers.

(for it was a very un- healthy post,) surrounded and attacked by | an overwhelming force of savages, he en- joyed the first opportunity of proving that his fate wasa charmed one, and that it was his particular lot to fight, and prevail over, superior numbers. He never has gone into battle, except against the greatest | odds; and he has never come out of bat- tle except as a victor. Old Sylla, the fa- mous Roman general, who was always victorious, believed that his prosperity a- rose from a special luck or good fortune ; and he called himself Fediz, the Happy | or Fortunate. The same surprising suc- cess has, heretofore, always marked the career of Taylor; who, however, assumes no surname, but leaves all to his country- men, who have already decided to call him—not Taylor, the Happy or Fortunate | —but Taylor, the next President. We want a man of happy fortunes to preside over the affairs of the Republic. Bat let us observe how these happy fortunes be- gan at Fort Harrison. DEFENCE OF FORT HARRISON. Fort Harrison was a mere stockade or block-house fort, designed for de gainst Indians, containing barracks, stor rooms, a guard-house, &c., but without artillery, or any other better means of re- sisting a siege than muskets, and the de- | termined resolution of a young command. er, incapable of fear; and whose own | sickness, with extreme bodily debility— | the weakness, and, for a time, the conster- nation, of his foree—the presence of ter- rified non-combatants-—* nine women and children’—the number of his foes—the exposed position of the fort, remote from all succor—and, let us add, the recollec- tion of a young wife and child, (for Tay- lor had married in 1810.) to whom his thoughts, on that dreadful night, must of- ten have wandered—failed to drive him. from his balance. * My presence of mind” said the young captain, in his despatch to General Harrison, “ did not for a moment forsake me.” It was 11 o'clock, on the night of the 4th of September, 1812.— Hostile Indians were around, in unknown numbers. ‘Iwo young men had beenshot and scalped, the evening before, ata little distance from the fort, and their bodies found and brought in that morning. In the evening a party of thirty or forty In- dians made their appearance, attempting the treacherous stratagem of a flag of truce—which did not, however, deceive the cautious laylor—and proposing a con- ference next morning. Captain Taylor prepared for the pretended conference, by immediately inspecting the arms of his men, serving them with sixteen rounds of ammunition. and, setting a guard of “ six privates and two non-commissioned ofh- | cers,” all that he could, for he had only “ten or fifteen men able to do any thing at all, the others being sick or convales- cent,” (we copy the words of his despatch) and ordering one of the non-commissioned officers to make up for deficiencies in the guard by walking the rounds all night, “to prevent the Indians taking any ad- vantage of us, provided they had any in- tention of attacking us.” At eleven o'clock he was awakened by a musket shot, and, rushing from his bed, he discovered that the attack had been begun by “several hundred Indians’— that the fort was in flames—and that his men, overcome by the horror of their sit- uation, and the shrieks of the women and children, were completely paralyzed by terror, so that two ot them, and “two of the stoutest,” too, leaped the pickets, in an unavailing attempt to escape. In this des- perate conjuncture every thing depended upon the courage and resources of a poor sick youth, who had never been in battle, but to whom, and to whom only, all look- ed for protection. Here, in this little be- leaguered post, on that night of terror, flashed out the lineaments of that cha- racter which, lately, shone so gloriously, with a matured grandeur, at Buena Vista. As calm, as resolute, as quick in expe- dients, as ready in their execution, the young Captain exhibited all the traits of the illustrious General. It was the flames which caused the panic; they were ra-' pidly opening a pathway to the fierce be- siegers ; but it was a single block- house only which was on fire ; and it was equal- ly possible, as he perceived, to arrest the conflagration, and to provide a new bar- rier behind the burning block-house. ‘The suggestion and the orders of Capt. Taylor immediateiy inspired the soldiers with new life ; “and never,” said he, “ did men act with more firmness or desperation.” Some clambered to the roofs, throwing them off, amid showers of bullets and ar- rows, So as to intercept the flames, which were thus soon subdued ; others wrought at a temporary breastwork, so that when the block-house fell, the savages found themselves repelled from its ashes by a “as high as a man’s he flash and balls of In short, the Indians, us as they were, were ated; and at six abandoning their he ruins of new wall of defence head,” whence came t American rifles. fierce and numero baffled—repelled—defe clock in the morning, they fled from t fence a- |‘ e- | alter that, came a long and happy period and the storm of triumphant war- whoops, Fort Harrison, as the legions of Santa Anna fled, in after years, at Buena Vista, from the wrecks of the few shattered re- giments and broken battalions which made up the petty, but invincible, army of him who saved Fort Harrison. In both these battles, the first and the last, the smallest and the greatest, fought hy Taylor, he displayed precisely the same | qualities—calm fortitude, perfect equani- |mity, constant presence of mind, great caution, unconquerable resolation, and the secret power of imbuing his followers with his own courage—which made_ both, though fought under desperate circum- stances, victories. We shall find these great military qualities exhibited during his whole military career; and we shall find other qualities, and analogous though diverse, united and co-operating with them under other circumstances, which com- bine to form the elements of a great cha- racter, equally adapted to the successful rule of an army and the administration of a State. THE BATTLE OF OKEECHOBEE. | For twenty years succeeding the victo- tory of Fort Harrison—that is, from 1812 to 1832—Zachary Taylor, though still serving in the army, may be said to have returned to the life, and resumed the hab- its, of a simple citizen. Fortune offered himgno further opportunities of victory, , because none of battle, during the re- | maining term of the British war; and, of profound peace, in which the Repub- lic waved in prosperity, and the duties of the soldier were to garrison posts, to watch the frontier, to open roads of communica- tion in the newer States and Territories— | ‘employments presenting none of the as- pects of war, and not altogether incom- patible with the enjoyments of civil soci- ety and domestic happiness. Under such circumstances, and amid such avocations, General Taylor was always able to pre- serve unchanged the manly habits and na- tural traits of his early life ; and the events of the Mexican war have made all aware that, even in the camp, the character of the citizen, in him, has never been lost in that of the military man. The year 1832 was the period of the Black Hawk war, in which Taylor led a “regiment in the battle of the Bad Axe— ‘the only battle he has ever fought in which he did notcommand. From 1836 to 1840 of the feelings natural to a victor onsuch Long, Jacob K he was in Florida, engaged in the Semi- nole contest, in which the decisive victory of Okeechobee, on the 25th of December, 1837, obtained for him his brevet of Brig- adier General, and the conduct of the war, as commander of the Florida troops, du- ring the two last years that he remained in the territory. We do not know that the battle of Okeechobee, though inter- esting enough from its fierce and sanguin- ary character, and the brilliant success that crowned it, and though pronounced by General Jesup, (then General Taylor's superior officer,) in his despatch, as “ one of the best fought actions known to our history,” ought to detain us from the re- view of the far more important conflicts of the Mexican war, in which the great qualities of Taylor were so signally and so suddenly made manifest to the Union. In the determined spirit, however, with ness, without guides, who had so’gallant- Miller, Daniel which he set out upon a march of one hundred and fifty miles, disreg the impediments of a country impassa to artillery, and in action of cavalry, re-. ‘solved to storm the savages out of their swamps and hammocks, he exhibited the same energetic will,’ afterwards so strik- ingly illustrated at Palo Alto and Palma, as well as a system of tactics, per- haps caught in his boyish days in Ken- tucky, from some of those rugged hunter- heroes of the Indian wars, from whom, as _pitche tradition has it, he acquired his first les- sons in the military art.

Well, it is, and long has | ‘been, before the people of the United | 'States. The battle is described, the suc- | _cess recorded, but not one word of pride | _and triumph; no indulgence of a single | ‘feeling of elation: the thoughts of the vic- | tor run only on his killed and wounded— | the loss of his dead, the sufferings of his | bleeding followers. “ Here,” says the vic: | tor, his heart full only of this melancholy | ‘theme, “I trust I may be permitted to say, | one of the most trying | | { | that I experienced | periods of my'life ; ‘looked on it with indifference, his nerves | must have been differently organized from 'my own.

The article in our last number on this subject, has raised quite a hornet’s nest about our ears. We have received three long epistles from as many Postmasters, (one postage not paid) all contending fer the right to charge postage on the Ga- zetle under 30 miles from this place.— These three epistles all refer to the 18th section of the act, of the 3d of March, 1847, as conclusive on the subject. This section is copied by the trio of our infor- mation, as if they supposed they possessed the only three copies of the act extant.— Now can either of these Postmasters, if it were to save their necks from the hal- ter tell from this section or act, what rates of postage they are to charge. Do they charge 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents or 10 cents; for if the act and section referred to es- tublishes no rates, and it does not, why 'may they not charge one sum as well as another. The article at the beginning of “the book.” headed “ Rates of Postage,” is not an act of Congress, and therefore confers no authority.

We see a little item travelling the rounds of the Democratic press which makes Lafayette say, “When he wan ted a thing well done he always sent a Butler to do it.” We do not know, |nor do we much care, to what breed ‘of Butlers this recently invented saying ‘of the illustrious old Frenchman has | reference ; one thing is as clear as mud, |it had no allusion to the present nome ‘inee for the Vice Presidency. Whea ‘did LaFayette want a thing done by any of the Butler family? During the revolutionary war, we suppose, of course. Now, according to his biography, the democratic candidate for the Vice Pres- ‘idency was born the very year the rev- olutionary war ended. We should like to know what use old LaFayette had, during his arduous campaigns, for a ba- ‘by not old enough to wear breeches.

The land above it is cultivated, but thirty years ago it was covered with oak and pine trees, measa- ring from two to three feet in diameter. It is evidently of very remote antiquity, as the Indians who reside in the neighbor- hood had no knowledge of its existence previous to its recent discovery.

EXPENDITURES FOR INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT. Mr. Polk in his last message, speaking of the debt contracted in the war of 1812, says: “Though the country was burdened heavy public debt, large, and in some*cases unnecessary and extrava- gant, expenditures were authorized by Congress. the payment of the debt was postponed for more than twenty years, and even dent Jackson, who made its payment a leading measure of his Administration.” By way of comment on this truthful passage, we copy the following from a_ document printed by the Senate in last January, which contains all the appropria- | tions to Internal Improvements made _ be- tween 1806 and 1845. From this it ap- pears that more money wasappropriated to -Iyternal Improvement during the econom- ical administration of Gen. Jackson than during all the other administrations put together.

His courageous wife soon follow. ed him, and for two days hundreds, attracted by the novelty of the thing, took the fearful journey. It is worth a trip to the Falls to see this great work, although it is not probable that one in. twenty will have the nerve to cross upon it; for. strange as it may seem, there were those who had nv hesitation to slide over the awful chasm, in a basket, upona single wire cable, who could not be induced to walk over the bridge. And. this wrial excursion is thrillingly exciting. A seaton a locomotive, travelling at the rate of sixty miles an hour, is nothing to it. When you find yourself suspended in the air, with the roaring, rushing, boiling Niagara two hundred and fifiy feet below you, if your heart do not utter, you-will have nerve enough to swing over Vesuvius. And yet the sensation is not altogether unpleasant.

As we anticipated, the accusation has ap. though considerably changed. to state, h@avever, that noi a single Editoral no- lice (with the exception of the ‘ Standard,” at Raleigh) has been made by our opponents, giv- ing countenance to the calumny.

But when it is remembered that this evidence | was given by Lt. Pender before the Court of Inquiry, after he had been dishonorably dis- charged by Gen.

Batrte—Dear Sir : TI am surprised to find a disposition among the North Carolina Volunteers, to complain seriously of Gen. Tay- lor, who they state, has spoken very harshly of them on some particular occasion in Mexico. The expressions attributed to General Taylor, conflict so palpably with the general prudence | and discretion which marks his intercourse with men, and are so unlike him, that Iam loth to | believe the report. Please let me know such | facts as you may possess, relative to the com. plaint. As you were Counsel for the defence | before the Court of Inquiry, you doubtless have it in your power to throw all light necessary upon the matter. With many friendly recollec. | | tions, I remain, &c. . E. J. FOSTER. | Maj. Battle replied as follows : . /a chicken! seeking an.enemy in the tield. We were not aware, however, till we saw the re- cent speech of Mr. Laurence. at Burling- ton, Vermont, that General Cass was a coward, and that General Jackson had found it out. Perhaps this discovery may havé hastened General Cass’s departure | from the Cabinet. |_ In the speech to which we refer, Mr. Laurence observed, that the political cha- racter of Mr. Cass was one in which he -had no confidence. He was Visionary, and destitute of courage. When, during, Jackson’s administration, there was dan- ger of war with France, and Cass was Secretary of War, the poor man was so frightened that he could neither eat, drink, sleep, nor attend to any business, but was continually running about ask- ing, With anxiety depicted on every fea- BS ture. if A, B, and C, really thought there would be a war. He was frightened almost to death, and General Jackson knew it; and one morning during the season of Mr. Cass’s fright, avhile calm- ly smoking his pipe, remarked to that effect to Mr. Laurence.—-|Washington Battery. D> A parcel of Ohio Volunteers hav- ing robbed a hen-roost in Mexico, seem to have been reproved very harshly by Gen. Taylor. They are now publishing certificates to this effect—and the last Standard parades over a column of bal- derdash about it, from the Pittsburg Post. Mr. Holden is a lawyer, we believe— would he undertake to defend these hen- roost robbers as Counsel at the bar? Stole Well! And now come for- ward to slander General Taylor! Ah!

Itis yn that though we cannot boast of batile fields, yet arinies of Greene, Morgan, and ot Cornwallis hasted ugh Iredell. ‘The masterly address of Morgan, fly- from his victory at the Cowpens, with his body of High-Land prisoners is justly celebrated. t that time there wing in the vicinity of the le ground, in Rutherford Co., a inan by the name of id Miller, a relative of the Morrison tamily in Ire- Before removing to this country he had been ac- | inted with Tarleton, who hearing of him, came to? home just before the battle, and urged him to joi royal Standard. This he decidedly refused to do. Tarleton took hin along with him to the camp, and bugh he took no part in the engagement, he was with PB rest taken prisomer. This may be considered as videntiafly favorable to Morgan. Tor Miller was an HWigent man, and well acquainted with the country Dugh which he must pass to cross the Catawba, with prisoners. Accordingly Muller accompanied the orious army through Rutherford and Lincoln where people were mostly inimical to the cause of Liberty, fl they came into a more friendly region in Iredell at rrison’s Mill, about 5 miles above Statesville. There been some dispute about the ford at which they sed the Catawba. But it is obvious that Morgan Id cross as hizh up as possible to avoid Cornwallis b was marching up on that side tointercepthim. He ld want to get into a more friendly region as soon pssible for forage and provisions. pme listories imply that he crossed at the same be where the British afterwards did: some assert that rossed at Sherrill's Ford. And it is certain that were encamped there some two or three days on East side and Gen. Morgan had his quarters at the was of widow Olyphant.

Ben. Greene who caine across the country from Che- with a small detachment ot his army met Morgan is Camp, and threw himself between the prisoner the army of Cornwallis. But either the whole ar- ,or a detachment with the prisoners crossed at the nd Ford. This is the general tradition in this part e country. Some say they arrived at the Ford late he evening and crossed the west branch of the River t night which they spent on the Island. They pass- he honse of a widow MoeKay near Sterling church, dell who had come trom Scotland in 1772, and D recognised among the prisoners sume of her old ghbors. These prisoners endeavored toggetard the rch of Morgan, and were very retractory, in order to e the British time to come and overtake, and retake m. But Morgan made short work with them and ed them forward with the point of the bayonet. ere is an old inan now living who has not lost yet all Jesting on the subject, but remarked about a yearago t “they drove the prisoners like brute beasts.” hey arrived at Mosmisons Mill so often mentioned, exceeding 8 or 10 miles from the Ford to dinner. e of Col. Washington's Light horse were from that inity; Judge Edward Harris was one; many of the Blitia, too were from this region. Irom there, it is pposed they crossed third creek, and Pack creek at “Hickory Bridge,” and so on down to the place of ampment where Ge. Greene came to Morgan’s aid. tis net perhaps generally known that when Gen. vidson fell at Corvans Ford, Dr. James Hall was sent and endeavored to rally the militia to join again dd stand their ground, but in vain. Major Thomas orrison of Iredell, then a Captain, said that at the ne Gen. D. fell, he was marching up the River with men, and fearing that the British would cross, and nk, and enclose him between them and the River, trary to orders, he took the responsibility of diverg- g from the River. Gen. D. met him, and approved of conduct, and gallopped off towards the River, saying t he would return in a few moments, but before he s out of sight, fell dead from his horse. So Major Morrison was the last person Gen. David- spoke to before he fell. The history of those two field pieces taken by Mor- nat the Cowpens is a little singular; they were taken pm Burgoyne at Saratoga; retaken by the British at fates’ defeat at Camden ; now they come into the pos- ssion of the Americans and were used by them in the ttle at Guilford C. H. where the British took thein, nthe Americans retook them, but in a little time lost Bem again, and they remained with the British at its Ose . The following anecdote may be worth preserving to ow the enthusiasm that prevaiied at that time in the use of Independence, even among children, As the itish passed on through Salisbury after Greene, the of- TS were entertained at the house of Dr. Anthony wnan. Here in the presence of Tarleton, and the mpany, two of Dr. N's. little sons were playing on the or, the game of the Battle of Cowpens, with grains of a; baving kernels of different color, or size for the of- rs off the respective sides, and especially Washing- bn and Tarleton. When one pursued and drove the other, as in the real ttle, the little fellows shouted “Hurra far Washington ! arleton runs, Harra tor Washington.” The British Col. looked on for a while, but at length coming irritated, he exclaimed, “See those cursed lit- rebels!” ANTIGNAS.

The spirit of improvement which has ta- | ken possession of the farmers of Montgomery, has, however, extended to this very barren versation recently with gentlemen who have passed through that country, he has heard, that | on that very tract, the purchase of which had ' nearly ruined his sire, the luxuriant fields bore | evidence that its fertility was now equal to any | of the very best lands of Washington county.

But even now, their | fertility is decreasing, and analysis shows that | but a very small portion of lime is discernable in the soil, whilst the water is deeply impreg- nated with it. We learn from one of our subscribers in , Boonsboro’, Mr. Davis, who is enthusiastic in _ his devotion to the improvement of the lands of his neighborhood, that that pest of the farmer, sheep sorrel, is very rapidly taking possession , of much of the Jand in that county, and that if something is not done to arrest its progress, the direst results cannot be anticipated.

My Dear Sir :—Your very kind and inter. | esting favor of the 27th ult., came duly to hand, and should, if practicable, have received an ear- lier reply. ‘Phe business of wool growing in this country is destined to be of immense im. portaoce ; aud [ am firm in the belief that with- in twenty years we shall produce a greater quantity of wool than any other nation. You ask, “Is the present home demand sup. | plied?” ‘There is not enough annually raised | in the country by 10,000,000 pounds, to meet | the demand of the manufactories. You ask, “ What countries can we export wool to?’ &c. This country will not export wool regularly for fifieen years, for the reason that the consumption will inerease as rapidly | | : ~~ , | times lately that you’ve rather avoided thisty millions of pounds of a medium and fine | as the production. I can point out articles made of woul now imported, which will require quality to support the consumption.

Another member was a gentleman whom we call X. These, with others. whiled away many a winter evening, telling stories, smoking the pipe, and quaffing mugs of hot flip— a * fluid” now almost forgotten. : But time separated this jolly company | asit does others ; and the subsequent his- tory of the Counsellor and the worthy Mr. |X. G was as diverse as their fortunes.— plodded on with his “ capiases,” and “sash-er-rare-ers” at Ellicotville. X. in due time became engaged in responsi- ble duties here. Legal business at distant intervals, called the lawyer to buffalo, and he was, of course, glad to see his old friend; but X., engrossed in business, or for reasons of his own, had not mach time to talk over “old times” and, without intending, probably gave him the cold shoulder. | The man of law noted this indifference. and possessing in wit what the other did in wealth—in readiness what the other | did in rhino—-determined to ascertain whe- ther X. really meant to “ cut” him or not. Meeting him the next day in the street he said: “ X—_—_—., my old friend, how d’ do 2” * Well, very well; how are you 2” “] say, X———, I’ve noticed several me than otherwise and I ain’t going® to. stand any such gammon.” “Why, what—” "We use to be mighty good friends up in Ellicotvill>. and Idon’t know why we | should’nt be here.” “ But, my dear sir,—” “Oh, it’s no use talking ; just go in here, | now, and treat as you used to.”. — - “ Well, let’s go in.” And they entered a small “ one-horse -and sixty every month. | } | | take a glass of whiskey toddy every night before going to bed ?” ] just take a little toddy at night to help to sleep |” “ Well,” continued the parish- ioner, that is just fourteen glasses a week I only get paid off once a month, and then if I’d take six- ty glasses, it would make me dead drunk for a week: now ye see the only differ- ence is, ye time it better than Ido !” LAW ANECDOTE. Some time before the abolition of the Jesuits a gentleman in Paris died, and left all his estate for an only son, then abroad, to that body of religious men, on condition that on his return the worthy fathers should give him what ever they should choose. When the son came home, he went to the Convent, and receiv- ed a very small share indeed ; the Jesuits choosing to keep the greater share them- selves. The young gentleman consulted his friends, and all agreed that he was without a remedy. At last a barrister to whom he mentioned his cause, advised him to sue the Convent and promised to, The young man fol- | gain him his cause. lowed his advice, the suit terminated in his favor through the management of his | advocate. who grounded his plea on this reasoning. his son that share of the estate which the fathers should choose.

D* 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 strengthening the system. Thus those pills are at the same time tonic and opening ; a desideratum Icng and eagerly sought for by 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.

PALO ALTO. Who can forget the state of public feel- ing in the United States produced by in- telligence of the events on the Rio Grande, between the 10th, of April and the eve- | ning of the 7th of May, 1846. Between i those two dates had occurred all the e- | vents, successive steps in the progress of the chaparral, and the departure of Gen- of twenty-three hundred men, to cut his way to the relief of Fort Brown, through the as yet unnumbered hosts of Arista.— The public mind, in fact, was on a sud- den stunned and alarmed by the novel and dangerous circumstances that had arisen. There was not merely war on the Rio Grande, but formidable, urgent war ; and at the same moment, the garrisons at Fort war, between the murder of Col. Cross in | eral Taylor from Point Isabel, at the head | tj | perhaps the General of the North himself —had charged “ with flying in so coward- |ly a manner to shut himself up at the | Point.” There he was again, with his lit- tle army—eighteen hundred infantry a- | bered, too, with a train of no less than | three hundred wagons, carrying the sup- | plies for Fort Brown; there he was, in- deed, that “ cowardly” American General, who was soon, of course, brought to a halt by the majesty and terror of the Mex- | ican arms! § ime?

There was the thunder of bat- bs the smoke of cannon ascended to the ament, and with ita name—a thought —a vision of future eminence, which, in & moment, struck upon the imagination of every man in the United States. It is not necessary that we should re- view the detailed history of the appcar- ance and progress of General Taylor in Texas, at the heat of the Army of Occu- pation, from his landing at Aransas Bay, in July, 1845, until he met the Mexicans at Palo Alto, ten months afterwards. All the circumstances of this period, describ- ed in his official correspondence, have long been before the public, which is familiar with every detail. Allthat we need pause to remark is, that Gen. Taylor, however destined to win renown in the approach- ing war, went to Texas not to make war —not desiring, not even expecting war to occur; bet, manifestly, hoping or think- ing—“ the wish was father tot' >thought” —that there would be no war, and that the presence of bis army on the new fron- tier wonld have the good effect of remov- ing the only danger, by preventing the | otherwise possible inroads of exasperat- ed Mexicans into Texas. This appears undeniable, both from his official letters and his acts, and from nothing more clear- ly than his calm and just accounts of the Mexican forces and military preparations on Rio Grande ; for he always scout- ed t86 wild rumors of gathering armies, that designing men, anxious for hostilities, sent home : from his indisposition to “call for volunteers from the United States,” | which he did not believe would “ become necessary, under any circumstances ;”— and from the fact that although instructed by Mr. Bancroft, acting Secretary of War, as early as June 15, 1845, to occupy a post “on or near the Rio Grande,” he a- voided doing so (Mexico having made | “no declaration of war, or committed any le act of hostilities, he did not feel at iberty,” he said, “to make such a move- ment”) until constrained bythe President's | orders of January 13, 1846, “ to move for- Ward with his force to the Rio Grande ;” and there he selected the site opposite | there was no dishonor ; Brown and Point Isabel, and the little ar- my of ‘Taylor, marching and counter marching to support both, seemed about ‘to be swept away by the rolling avalanche. Arista had crossed the Rio Grande in su- perior numbers ; the chaparrals were swarming with his troops; Fort Brown had been suffering bombardment for four days (from May 3d ;) it was entirely sur- rounded and cut off from any communi- cation withthe American General, except such as could be effected through the in- _termedium of signal guns and the desper- ate agency of the daring Walker. ‘Then it was that the whole public mifd was filled with anxiety and boding fear. Then was felt, and bitterly accused, the wanton improvidence of Government which had sent so small a force of Americans to en- | ery boy, nay, to every girl, in the United States. All the boasts, the promises, the | efforts of the Mexican chiefcame tonaught; volleys of grape—stratagems—and char- 'ges of horse, were alike in vain; and at night-fall, the bosts of Arista retired be- | hind the shelter of the chaparral, and the Americans slept victoriously on the field 'of battle. But the battle was not yet over. -Mortified, but enraged, and reinforced | with more troops, in number greatly ex- | eceded his losses, Arista fell back to the strong, the very strong position of Resaca de la Palma, where he hoped to enjoy a great success, but, in reality, only awaited his own final and overwhelming over-- throw. RESACA DE LA PALMA. counter, in that remote spot, far from re- | inforcements, the shock of the Mexican war it had so rashly provoked. Then, too, it was that the words of Taylor's last des- patch, on leaving Point Isabel—* Should the enemy meet me, in whatever force, | shall fight him”—disclosed a hero equal to any emergency ; but, at the same mo- ment, that hero, marching with his petty twenty-three hundred men, plunged again into the Mexican desert, and was for a- while, lost to the sight of his countrymen. All was, for some days, suspense, doubt, and painful speculation. Every man had for his neighbor an anxious query about the American army and Gen. Taylor :— “ Had he not marched that army to inev- itable destruction? Had he not been sur- rounded, in those thickets, by overpower- ing numbers, and there been crushed, cut to pieces, or compelled to seek safety in the calamity of capitulation ? I{ he should have the good fortune to reach and shut himself up in Fort Brown, how long could he maintain himself there, waittng for re- inforcements?” In short, the country was full of such speculations, and the anxiety became, if possible, still more intense. when it was suddenly put an end to by a ‘fresh arrival from the seat of war, with the astounding account of two marvellous victories. Palo Alto and Resaca%de la Palma! how those names sounded \g¥er the land as with a clang of clarions:!— Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma! and these two Mexican names were sud- ‘denly the joy and happiness of the whole American people. There was no loss, the army was nol The Americans slept on Palo Alto, on _a field of victory—nine killed, and forty- | ‘nine wounded; but among these were Ringgold and Page, whose names will re- main identified forever with the recollec- tion of the Army of Occupation and the surance of another battle.

The victory of Resaca dela Palma was, in effect, the conquest of Matamoros —of the Rio Grande—of all the country to the foot of the mountains—to Monterey; and all these mighty results, which im- mediately followed that great feat of arms, were magnificent trophies, won for and presented to the Republic by a general who had sought to prevent war—who was -always anxious to lessen its calamities and bring it to an end—and who, even then, in the moment of his great triumph, | while doing full justice to the heroism of: his officers and men, who had fought so | well and bravely, yet indulged in no ex- | 'ultation unworthy of his calm, humane, | unselfish, his truly lofty character. Did these victories, Which intoxicated so many Americans, and begot all those novel no- tions about the conquest of “ Mexico,” “inevitable destiny,” &c., produce any change whatever in Gen. Taylor's views or wishes? Did he ever show any in- crease of war-appetite? Did he not, in fact, remain till the last, the same calm, moderate, merciful spirit, who had no burning passion to go on indefinitely kill- ing Mexicans and conquering Mexican territory, but was anxious that peace should be restored, and thought that the United States could afford to treat her— magnanimously, with a gentle and pitiful forbearance in all things. Had his mod- erate spirit prevailed in the councils of the Administration, we should probably have had an earlier peace ; and, we can well believe, it would not have been less honorable.

It is, however, satisfactory to state that order and a tolerable degree of tranquility continue to be maintained. The disarmament of the disaffected in the various arrondissements is 1i- gorously called out ; less apprehension seems to prevail of a recurrence of the recent fierce hos- tilities ; the sittings of the National Assembly are not intruded upon and interrupted by a clamorous mob, the disorder being confined to ! their own Chamber: the theatres have been re- opened by the aid of the Government, and many of the shopkeepers have resumed business. a Gen.

A great deal bas to be done be- fore a republic can be established upon any stable foundations.

FRANCIS P. BLAIR. Though now in private life, the opinions and political affinities of a gentleman who, like Mr. Blair, enjoyed more, perhaps, of the confidence of Gen. Jackson and Mr. Van Buren, than any one living, cannot be regarded with indifference by the community. When, therefore, it was an. nounced in the most authoritative manner, by a paper of the high standing of the New York Evening Post, that Mr. Blair approved of the principles, objects and nomination of the Utica Convention, there was a general feeling of as- tonishment, which was not allayed by the half- way denial of the Baltimore Sun, upon the au- thority of Mr. Senator Foote, of the truth of the Post’s assertion. We believed the statement, for the simple reason that we did not think it ‘probable that that paper would have made it /unadvisedly. Mr. Blair has not left the matter in doubt. ‘The following letter confirms, in our opinion, all the material parts of the Post’s state- ment, for, although he intends to vote for Cass, he avows that bis “ heart is with Mr. Van Bu- /ren and his principles.” We doubt whether the nice point of honor, the “ punctillio,” as he styles it, by which he thinks he is constrained to vote for its nominee, by his “ inveiglement in the Baltimore Convention,” will be appreciated | . , by the people at large.

Inthe sum-, mer of 1838, I was on a fly-fishing excur- sion in the neighborhood of that place, | eod bearing from the postman, who! brought letters to our party from the post | office to our country quarters. that the | poet Montgomery was there, myself and | a friend, who liad never seen him, took a/ walk to Olney the next day, to call on) him. We tnquired for Mr. M., but no one seemed to be nware of his wherea- bouts ; and, as a last resource, we went | to the post office, where we were inform- | ed that he would most likely be found at Squire Cowper's scliool. To this place we proceeded. It was a dwelling which , Cowper had once tenanted, and ever since it bad been used as a village school, and called by his name. There we found Montgomery, surrounded by the children who were singing that beautiful hymn of the bard of Olney, commencing with— | “God moves in a mysterious way. | His wonders to pertorm.” Thad heard this beautiful hymn sung hundreds of times, but never with such effect as in that room, the very place in! which, we are told, and there is every reason to suppose with truth, Cowper com- posed it. . . \ Montgomery received us very kindly, and we visited together some of Cowper's favorite spots. It was highly gratifyng to repair to such hallowed retreats, in the company of one who has been not unapt- ly called the Cowper of our time. On leaving, Montgomery kindly invited me’ to call on him, should lever visit Shief- a ¥. field, which I gladly promised to do. Abont two years alterwards, 1 was in that busy mart, and remembering the poet’s invitation, I determined to avail sayselfof it. I had no difficulty in finding | my way to The Mount, the name of his residence, and was fortunate enough to find him at home. We had a pleasant talk together, and, after dinner, he accom- panied me to the literary institutions of | the neighborhood, and it was quite de- lightful to observe with what marked at- tention and respect he was everywhere received. I noticed this to him, and said he must feel highly gratitied by it. «I am of course,” he said, “but I have ene- | mics. Not long since some raseal broke in my house, one Sunday, while 1 was de- livering an address at a chapel in Shief- field, (Mr. Montgomery sometimes preach- es among his own people—the Moravians,) and stole among other things a silver ink- stand, which had been given me by the ladies of Sheflicld. However,” he add- ed, “ the loss was but for a time, and pro- ved to be the oceasion of the freatest compliment, which, in my opinion had paidme. A few days alter my loss, a box came directed to me, and, on opening it, lo! there was, uninjured, the missing inkstand, and a note, in which the wri- ter expressed his regret that he had en- tered my house and abstracted it. The thief said his mother had taught him some of my verses when he was a boy, and, on seeing my name on the inkstand. he first become aware whose house he had robb- ed, and was so stung with remorse, that he could not rest until he had restored my property, hoping that God would foreive him.” ° Yvuearax.—Accounts from Merida to 23d ultimo mention several] advantages obtained by the Whites over the Indians. A Jetter says: “ All this is very encoura- ging to the people of Yucatan, and we trust that now they lave broken the charm Of Indian invincibility, iiey will follow up the blows they have struck, and once more restore the country to peace and quiet.” A Campeachy paper announces that six hundred Anglo Ameri-ans, from among those who had served in Mexico had arrived, Circumetances, feet, depth of hold 5 feet. | | | { | | ing from the east ; and he smote the young ‘rose with his golden shaft, and it fainted. | Deserted and almost heart-broken, it dreo- | ped to the dust in its loveliness and des- | pair. | Now the gentle breeze, who sweeping ‘over hill and dale—by that neat cottage and still brook—fanning the fevered brow of disease, and tossing the curls of inno- cent childhood—came tripping along on he errands of mercy and love ; and when she hastened to kiss it, and fondly bathed | its forehead in cool, refreshing showers. the young rose revived, looked up and smiled: flung its ruddy arms as if in grat- itude to embrace the kind breeze; but she hurried quickly away when her gen- erous task was performed—yet not with- out reward, for she soon perceived that a delicious fragrance had been poured on her wings by the grateful rose, and the _kind breeze was glad in her heart, and went away singing through the trees. Thus charity, like the breeze which /gathers a fragrance from the humble ‘flowers it refreshes unconsciously reaps | a reward in the performance of its ofli- ces of kindness and love, which steals through the heart like a rich perfume | to bless and to cheer. THE DEAD SEA EXPEDITION. From private letters which have beén | shown to the editor of the Boston Tran- “script, it appears that the Dead Sea ex- ploring party have successfully and satis- 'factorily completed their task, and retarn- | ed to Jerusalem, where they were on the (19th May. ‘They have sounded the sea in all it parts, to the depth of six hundred fathoms, and found the bottom crystalized salt. The pestilential effects attributed to the waters turn out to be fabulous. Ducks were seen skimming over the surface, and party were upon the sea in their boats or encamped on its borders for somé two months, and their researehes and esti- mates have been for the most thorough and interesting character. All were in excellent health and spirits, no sickness or accident having occurred. By the Arabs they had been received and unifor- mily treated with the utmost kindness and attention. The Syrians consider "the men of the Jordan,” as they call them, the greatest heroes of the day. Lieu- tenants Lynch and Dale will visit, under | the most favorable circumstances all the. places made memorable iv Scripture his- tory; and we may expect from them a. highly interesting account of their explo- rations of the Dead Sea and their adven- , tures in the Holy Land.

Regs will keep almost any length of time in lime-water properly prepared. One pint of coarse salt, and one pint of | unslacked lime to a pailful of water. If there be too much lime it will eat the shell from the eggs; and if there be a} single egg cracked it will spoil the whole. They should be covered with lime water and kept in a cool place. The yolk be- comes slightly red; but I have seen eggs thus kept perfectly sweet at the énd of two years. The cheapest time to lay down eggs is early in September. It is bad economy to buy eggs by the dozen. as you want them. STEAM BOAT LAUNCH.

The cotrespondent of the Baltimore Patriot (Potomac) says: WasnincTon, August 2, 1848. Mr. Cave Johnson, the Postmaster General, Representatives to-day. the most constant and persevering lobby mem- bers, for some two months past, that ever in- fested the House. The resolution from the Senate, restoring the contract for carrying the mail between, Wash- ington and Richmond to the old contractors at their former rates, was taken up for action. The Postmaster General was on hand. One of his electioneering statements made to mem- bers was this: That a Mr. Graham had offered a bonus of $10,000, if the Bay Company, now carrying the mail, via Baltimore, would give up the contract, aud the Department would allow him $190,00 a mile for taking the mail cver the Fredericksburg rovute—whereas Robinson & Co., the old contractors, from whom the mail had been taken, asked $237,009 per mile! | Another argument passed round among the 'membeis, was that Robinson & Co. had pur- | chased up the majority of the stock of the Bay ' Company, and had put up the terms for convey- | ing passengers, so as to turn the travelling pub- | lic in the direction of the Washington and | Fredericksburg route. Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, the confidential | political friend of the Postmaster General, moved to lay the resolution on the table. On this, the yeas and nays were ordered and taken /—and how think you they stood, on a question i ranical ipse dixit should be sustained in the / who are deeply interested in having the mail carried through, with safety and despatch, over the short regular route, instead of being taken on a circuitous route, at a greater expense, by way of Baltimore and Norfolk? How think you the vote stood on such an issue in the House? ‘Tell it not in Gath! ‘in the streets of Askalon! ‘The resolution was laid on the table—killed—and this, too, after the Bay Company had offered to give up the contract without asking remuneration, by a vote of 122 yeas to 64 hays! ‘The Postmaster General breathed freer and deeper.—His pique, or spleen had beén grati- fied. He soon disappeared front the Hall. He 'was off! Mr. Buchanan, however, another of ‘the President’s elecfioneering Cabinet Minis- | ters, soon after poked his large, fair, good-took- | ing face in among the members: se there was ' no lack of Execative care and watchfulness over | | | { | partridges abounded along the shore.

Like all truly great men, he feels serious distrust of his own abilities ; but ‘his countrymen will not allow him to be the. judge in that matter. They believe that he ineets every requisition by the old republican _ standard, and that as President of the United States, he will prove himself to be “honest, ca- pable and faithful to the Constitution.” Correspondence of the National Inte.” -ncer.

Ge ee eee 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- | ritying 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 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 mast excellent of | medicires, 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.

States Gazette, Philadelphia. ] CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK. MONTEREY. G-eat and meritorious as were the vic- tories so admirably—we might almost say, so unex pectedly—won by Taylor, in the moment of national anxiety, at Palo Alto aid Resaca de Ja Palma, the calm judg- ment of the intelligent citizen cannot but concede that, amid the circumstances fol- lowing these expluits, oppressed by new difficulties which they brought upon him, he exhibited even higher qualities than those which had blazed out so gloriously - on the field of battle. The war no long- er a calamity to be prevented ; it had be- gun, and was to be fought; the enemy was to be followed into his own land, and compelled to peace; everything was to be thought of and resolved on, without delay, by a victor whose Government had left bim without sufficient supplics, and particularly without the means oi irans- portation. Troops were at first wanting, but they soon came pouring in, enthusi- astic volunteers, in embarrassing numbers —in numbers beyond Taylor’s wants and requisitions ; but as nothing else came, they only made bad worse, and increased the difficulties of his position. But, in the midst of these difficulties, his thoughts and resolutions were equally active. Within nine days after the attair of La Palma, his flag floated over Mata- moros and the whole lower right bank of the Rio Grande ; and as early asthe 20th of May, only twelve days after the first blow at Palo Alto, as we know from his) official correspondence, he had already meditated the enterprise, the march, the very route to be pursured, against the city of Monterey. This march, in fact, against | Montere y—made with insufficient subsist- | anee and ammunition ; thismarch, which, considering the consequences that must have flowed from a repulse, timid critics would have regarded as an overdaring hazardous adventure, is one of the most decided proofs of Taylors judgment as well as heroism. His very destitution ren- dered it necessary. ‘There were food and ammunition enough in Monterey; and with young and zealous volunteers, anx- jous to see the foe, there was less loss to be apprehended from a hard march, and a harder fight. than from the pining inac- tivity of sickly camps on the Rio Grande. The autumn was coming, nay, was alrea- dy at hand; there were pure waters and breezes, and mountain health, at Monte- rey—what dilference did it make if there were tremendous fortifications and (the standing rule) Mexicans in superior num- bers?) The march was resolved on, push- edinevery way; and, about the same period, almost the same day, when Santa. Anna was “passed” into Vera Cruz, to raise and head that army which was to meet Taylor at Buena Vista, the latter advanced the first division of his army from Camargo to Ceralvo, on the expedi- tion against Monterey. It was on the 15th | September that Santa Anna arrived at the Capital, and, in proud array, amid roaring festivities and the clamor of Mex- | ican oaths of patriotism, swore to drive | the “ perfidious Yankees,” the “ barbari- ans of the North,” from the sacred soil of | the “magnaniinous” repuuiic. Four days later, on the 19th, the Mexican cannon at Monterey was playing upon Gen. Taylor, as with a little reconnoitering party, he rode up to inspect for himself the formi- dable defences of citadel, redoubts, forti- fied heights, and stone houses with para- pets, each a Moorish fortification, or a part of one great Moorish fortification, embracing the whole city, which it was now necessary he should carry by storm, and that, too, within a few days, to pre- | vent the effects of an entire want of all the necessaries of war and of lite in his own army. And so he carried it. What need of repeating the details of this glorious siege, of which every particular bas become a part of the recollectionsof every American mind—the chivalrous exploits of Worth’s division, on the west, carrying the armed heights, and hemming in the Mexicans in the rear, and the bloody assaults upon the town itself, on the east, made under the orders of Bmylor himself. On the second day the weak man had the strong man at is mercy—sig thousand American regu- and voulunteers had wrapped in a girdle of bayonets and grape-shot a Mex- jean city of fifteen thousand inhabitants, ed by a garrison of ten thousand soldiers; and on that second day the city threw up its hands for quarters, and the ten thousand Mexican soldiers hoisted a flag of truce, and capitulated. This was the third glory of Taylor in this war.— ow this nation exulted! It was only the newborn malice of political jealousy — for on a sudden the wondrous popularity acquired by Taylor, as if by magic, and Presentation of his name as a candi- date for the high office of President by Vast numbers of citizens, and in particu- lar by the entire Whig party, had render- ed him an object of terror to the scheming Administration which had made the war; it was only the Strangely unnatural and ungrateful hatred of Locofocoism which strove, for a moment, to censure that ca- Pitulation, and to reprehend, nay, if pos- tible, to crush, the brave old victor for the 8in of not having finally captured or ex. terminated the whole garrison, and put, Perhaps, the whole wretched population aerey tothe sword. back again.” “BRUNER & JAMES, Editors & Proprietors. _SALISBU —_—_—_—_—_— ended, aid the by answering ing statement, pre of this transaction is. in. the: Globe, vol. 14, page 358 10 363, and : “ KEEP A CHECK UPON ALL YOUR Rucers.

The attempt only recoiled with injury upon its authors. The first reflection convinced every right-minded American that the capitulation of Mon- terey was, in itself, the greatest of Gen- eral Taylor’s acts, and that one of them> all which was by far the most honorable to his country ; and in a moment the sen- timent of generous pride in, and lofty ap- preciation of, the true merit of the Mon- terey capitulation became universal, which in the memorable Senate debate on that_ subject, had been proclaimed by Mr. Clay- ton in tones which went to every heart in the Republic. *] say, therefore,” (said Mr. Clayton) “that from the bottom of my soul I thank the brave, generous, and merciful Com- mander of the American troops. I thank him not only for his gallantry and _ skill, his conduct and bravery, but eminently and above all other considerations, as an American Senator, I thank him for his humanity ! | honor him because he thought of, and spared, feeble and unoffending woman in that hour of her utmost peril. I honor him because he spared tottering age and helpless infancy; and 1 glory that an American general has shown him- self thus alive to the best feelings of the human heart.” No, from the moment of that debate, it has been felt that the laurels of Monterey | are all the more glorious, and will be so regarded forever, because they associate, not the horrid brutalities of a city taken ' by sack, but recollections of a generous humanity worthy to be prized as the no- blest attribute of the American charac. ter. ‘The victor of Monterey. the hero of that capitulation, is a true representative of the people, who admire and love him the more for that reason. BUENA VISTA. In the last and greatest act of his mili- tary life, fortune seemed resolved to prove, in the most unanswerable manner, how much of General Taylor’s fame was due to himself, to his wonderfal resolution of character. and his power of infusing his own courage into the hearts of the men under his command, even when undiscip- lined volunteers, who had never seen a foe. The fine army—the veterans of Monte- rey, Were gone—drawn away to open a new path of glory on the route between Vera Cruz and Mexico, which Taylor him- self had indicated as the only suitable one on which to attack Mexico with effect ; and, when shorn of his strength but not his valor, and strong in judgment, he had gone to watch the designs of the enemy at the farthest outpost of Agua Nueva, ra- ther than shut himself up within the cita- delled safety of Monterey, he had, as the world has long known, but 4,073 men—of whom only about one-tenth were regulars —artillery and horse—not a single com- pany of infantry—to meet the 21,340 men, composing the Mexican army. ‘These, well armed and equipped, Santa Anna had provided at San Louis Potosi, ready for a sudden swoop upon, and, what he deemed, an assured victory over, an illus- trious victim, provided to his hand (won- derful coincidence of folly! for we do not, of course, impute it to a designed guilt) | by the same unfortunate administration which had so foolishly sent himself to Mexico, to re-animate and re-organize his defeated countrymen. There, then, lay, with his feeble force, the deserted hero, in that solitary post among the Mexican mountains, entirely beyond the reach of relief or of any hope out of his own camp—or heart; many a weary mile in advance of Monterey—ma- ny a league from the line of the Rio Grande ; but calm and constant, as if at the head of the proudest army on the fron- tiers of his own country; expecting the attack, which he had already provided for, even to the field of battle, on which he was resolved to bring Santa Anna to a stand, and to beat him. We say, to “beat him;” for, incredible though it tnay seem, al] the circumstances prove that General Taylor, knowing, for he was per- fectly aware of, Santa Anna’s immensely superior forces—five to one—never once had the slightest doubt that he should re- pulse and vanquish him. The selection of a field of conflict at the narrow pass of Buena Vista,—a kind of Thermopylz for the Americans,—where a small army might best oppose a large one, and the continued refusal to fall back behind the Sierra Madre, showed this plainly enough, which never, however, was declared in boastful words or promises; though it once broke out in a hasty expression, sig- nificant of all the General’s thoughts, when an officer one day—as the anecdote has it—ventured, rather freely, to ask what he thought would be the result of General Santa Anna’s making a sudden march upon them from San Luis; to which Taylor quickly replied, that the result would be—his making a “ sudden march And so it happened ! It was on the 2Ist of February, 1847, | that Taylor, apprised by his scouts of the | approaching host, fell back, in good order, | to his intended battle-field; where the “magnanimous” Benemerito (or well-de- serving) of Mexico, on the next day, in- | formed him that he was “surrounded by 20,000 men,” and proposed to allow him the humane privilege of surrendering at discretion. Here Gen. Taylor was guil- ty of the rudeness of affecting to consider Santa Anna’s summons as a request, (as not deeming thai a Mexican General would dare make any demands on him.) accede to it.” The captain of four thou- sand men to reply in that way to the com- | mander of twenty thousand! But it was on the 22d of February,—the birthday of _Washington—the second national holy-. On such a’ day of American freedom. day, indeed, General Taylor might laugh Santa Anna and his summons to scorn; on such a day, young Crittenden, in the midst of the Mexican host, might proudly declare—* Gencral Taylor. never surren- | ders.” Who does not remember the first ac- counts that reached the United States of the results of Santa Anna’s attack—Mex- ican accounts, fabulous, bewildering, but fearfully exciting,—-which represented Taylor as retreating before the immense hosts of Santa Anna, fighting his way. back to Monterey, there to turn, like a lion at bay, upon his pursuer, charging in- to the midst of his legions, and covering the earth with the slain. Well—he was surrounded, but he never fled; the lion was at bay, but it was the favorite lair of Buena Vista; and it was there that the multitude of Mexicans fell, lying side by side with heaps of American volunteers. The day gone—the night closing around the mountain peaks and deep gorges, and that puny army not yet driven from its | lines! Yet a second day dawned, and the conflict was resumed as obstinately, | as furiously, as destructively as ever.— Then came a second night; and the brave | old General and his brave young troops— | soraw and yetsocourageous—flung them- selves down exhausted, upon the bloody earth, beside their cannons, to snatch a short, uneasy slumber, and then up once _more for a third day of battle. The third day was soon there—but where were the Mexicans? Vanquished—routed—utter- ly fled the humanity of the General who had been so short a time before recommended to surrender at discretion ! Where, in modern times, was there such | a battle? where such a victory? No wonder, when the news of this great field reached the country, a field at once so ro- | mantic and so hervic,—so exciting and. so saddening—for, oh, the dead of those two days, whose blood brought us this glory !—that the fame of Monterey was eclipsea by the greater splendors of Bue- , na Vista, and that Zachary Taylor was enshrined in the very hearts of his coun- trymen ; and no wonder that the purpose | of those hearts was confirmed, to call his | great qualities into a new field of civil | action, in which it was felt that precisely | such qualities were wanted.—lIntegrity and honor—a spotless life and rigid code of moral principles ; simplicity, frankness, kindness of heart; moderation of views | and feelings, prudence, excellent good sense and judgment: add to these, invin- cible constancy of purpose and a bravery always so calm and reflective—and we | assuredly have presented to us many of | those noble traits Which went to compose the solid character of Washington, and | fitted him to shine so well—so equally well —in the camp and the cabinet. It is from the strongly marked analogies of character that the people of the United States have formed their opinions of the fitness of General Taylor for the office of President of the United States ; to which, if we can believe the signs of the times, they have manifestly made up their minds to elect him.

We have no means of estimating the probable strength of this Free Soil party, in the different States represented in the Buffalo Convention. though, that outside of New York, and perhaps Ohio, their influence will not be felt ia the Presidential Mleetion—while it insares both those States for ‘Taylor.

Terrible and Destructive Conflegration min Albany.—About 10 o'clock last night, we received a despatch announcing the eecurrence of one of the most awful and destructive fires that has taken place in the United States for many years.

But Congress does not acquire territory. People of the United States acquire it, and have the right to govern it, and have limited Con- gress, as their trustee, in the name of Govern- ment, by the Constitution.” “There can be no civil dominion over any territory of the Onited States which is not found. | ed upon the Constitution.” ‘Two distinct positions, one the result of an argument based upon truth “ reduced,” the oth. er upon truth “developed.” I admit the pro- position that the right * to acquire,” brings with but I believe that the clause in the Constitution |. 5 ; (right to their common property, each ought to conters expressly upon Congress the right to legislate for territory belonging to the United States.

Tt is at least intended to make the impression at the north, that it af- | firms the prohibition of slavery in the ‘Territo- ' ry of Oregon for a limited time.

In pursuance of previous notice, the Officers of the | Cabarrus Regiment of Infantry and the Officers of the Cabarrus and Mecklenburg Regiment of Volunteers met in Concord on the 12th day of August, to take into con- sideration the Militia Laws of this State ; when, on tno- tion of Col. Levi Klutts, Col. W. B. Cochran, of the Volunteers was called to the chair, and Lt. Col. Barn- hardt, was requested to act as Secretary. Col. Klutts then explained the object of the meeting, | and offered for its consideration the following resolutions : | Resolred, That in the opinion of this meeting, the Militia Laws of North Carolina are highly defective in _ many particulars, and the present low state of military discip!ine amongst our men and officers, afier an expe- rience of more than half a century, calls loudly for re- | form. Resolred, That while we entirely approve of an enu- meration and enrollment of all persons between the ages of 18 and 45, as liable to do military duty, if necessary, | in time of invasion, insurrection and the calls of the Go- | vernment, we are fully persuaded that the term of Q7 years is unnecessarily long for mere training and dis- | ciplinary exercise, burthensome upon the mass of the people, and productive in practice, of no actual good. Resolved, That a shorter period for training under a more rigid and effective code of discipline, would be pro- ductive of the most salutary effect in calling into service | the best military talent of the country, and in awaken- | ing among our people a proper degree of military pride. | Resolved, That as a further encouragement to milita- ry pride and talent, some reward should be held out to | , those who serve in volunteer companies, or who take | commissions, as officers, in the ordinary militia. Resolved, ‘That this last object, it is believed, could | doing duty as such volunteers and officers for a limited | period of time, say from —— to years. a Resolved, That this meeting will assemble again in | Convention in Concord, on the 11th of October next, (the | day preceding our Review) to take into further consid- eration the objects set forth in the foregoing resolutions. Resolred, That a committee of 11 persons be appoint- | ed by the meeting to report to said Convention such Te- form, as in their opinion, are needed in the militia laws of this State. Resolved, That the attention of all the militia and volunteer officers of the State be respectiully called to ‘the objects of said Convention, and that they be reques- ted to unite with us in the same. | tlemen in the most cordial support of the resolutions.— | A variety of views were expressed as to some minor par- | ticulars, but all united with one voice 10 demanding re- | form in some shape or other. Lt. Col. Goodman, of Rowan, being present, was re- quested to take part in the meeting, and also addressed it. The resolutions were then put and uninimously adopted. The following persons constitute the committee of 11 required by the resolutions, viz: Colonel Cochran, Col. Gvodman, (of Rowan,) Lt. Col. Barahart. Capt.

We live in an age and in a country wherein it would be considered almost a proof of lunacy, or great temerity at least, to say that printing is not one of the most useful arts. That the art of printing is like salt—* jt is the preservative of all. arts”—-seems to be a position conceded by all civilized communities where its bene- fits have been diffused with either an un- sparing or stinting hand. ‘hat it has fa- ciliated the march of improvement, spread abroad and propagated correet principles, heralded forth the precepts of christianity, carried civilization, the arts and know- ledge into foreign, degraded, heathen Jands, and tbat it has elevated man, shown him’ what he is and what be ought to be, besides conferring numerous other inval- vable advantages, no oné whois cognizant toits operations will for a moment doubt. But the intention in commencing this ar- ticJe was not to eulogize this art for the henefactions it has conferred on man, but for entirely another purpose. Common or letter press printing, sach as books, newspapers, &c., is carried on by @, large number of fools or ty pes, every ene of which cost money, labor, and inge- Weity to fit it for use.

We annihiliated Loco Focoism for the time, though, like the seed of the thistle, it is an indestructible weed. Now, thus far, in efforts to court or to concilliate our dissatisfied Whig as- _sociates, or in the belief of General Tay- lor’s overwhelming popularity, we have done nothing, but quietly permitted the. ‘elections to take care of themselves,—as_ if anything in this world would take care of itself! We are learning now (as if such a lesson were necessary) that no man’s popularity can take care of itself,- that there are none so high that slander -may not reach them, or so powerful that 'detraction may not bring them down: Gen.

(From Darwin's Jour. of the Voyage of the Beagle, pp. 303, 304 ) “ There is one marine production, which from its importance is worth a particular history. It is the kelp or@ucus gizante- us of Solander. This plant grows on ev- ery rock trom low-water mark to a great depth, both on the outer coast and within the channels. 1 believe, during the voy- age of the Adventure and the Beagle, not one rock near the surface was discovered, | which was not buoyed by this floating | weed. The good service it thus affords _to vessels navigating near the stormy land _is evident, and it certainly has saved ma- |ny a one from being wrecked. I know few things so surprising than to see this | plant growing and flourishing amidst those great breakers of the Western Ocean which no mass of rock, let it be ever so hard, can long resist. The stem is round, slimy, and smooth, and seldom has a di- /ameter of so much as an inch.

States Gazette, Philadelphia. } CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK. | THE POPULAR APPRECIATION OF ; HIS CHARACTER. | Yn an eloquent sketch of the life of the Father of his Country, contained in a vo- lume entitled “ Washington and the Gen. | erals of the Revolution,” may be found the following remark, which will strike the reader as one full of profund interest : “It is a truth, illustrated in daily expe- | rience, and yet rarely noticed or acted up- on, that, in all that concerns the apprecia- | tion of personal character or ability, the instinctive impressions of a community are quicker in their action, more profound- ly appreciant, and more reliable, than the intellectual perceptions of the ablest men in the community. Upon all those sub- jects that are of moral apprehension, so- ciety seems to possess an intelligence of | its own, infinitely sensitive in its delicacy, | and almost conclusive in the certainty of its determinations; indirect and uncon. | scious in its operation, yet unshunnable in sagacity, and as strong and confident as nature herself. The highest and the fin- est qualities of human judgment scem to be in commission among the nation, or the race. It is by such a process that, when- ever a true hero appears among mankind, | the reeognition of his character, by the. general sense of humanity, is instant and certain: the belief of the chief priests and rolers of mind follows later, or comes not atall. The perceptions of a public are. as subtly-sighted as its passions are blind. It sees, and feels, and knows the excel. | lence, which it can neither understand, | nor explain, nor vindicate.” This principle of the instinctive faculty | of a people to detect greatness even in) the germ, the writer applies with force to | the case of Washington,—to his immedi- | ate acceptance by the nation-builders of | 716, and the uninterrupted command over | their entire confidence, which he enjoyed | to the last. | “From the first moment of tis appear. | ance as a chief,” says the writer, the re- cognition of him, from one end of the country to the other, as rue man—the lea. | der, the counsellor, the infallible, in sug- | gestion and in conduct—was immediate and universal. From that moment to the close of the scene the national confidence | in his capacity was as spontaneous, as en- thusiastic, as immovable, as it was in his integrity. Particular persons, affected by the pntoward course of events, sometimes questioned his sufficiency ; but the nation never questioned it, nor would allow it to be questioncd.” ’ To our own feelings there is something repulsive, as if bordering at once on adu- | lation and irreverence, in instituting a/| complimentary comparison between the Father of his Country and any living man —between him who, in the world of de- | parted spirits, stands on that glorious pin- nacle of immortal fame, above the Ca- sars and Napoleons of the earth, and the best and purest creature that can walk its | surface. aspiring to similar excellence and | equal acceptation hereafter. We do not, | therefore, mean to attempt any parallel | between the characterof Zachary Taylor | and that of George Washington. But we. may declare, and our readers wil! feel, that the history of the former, during the | last two years, and his present position as the foremost man of this Republic, bring him within the rule which measures the greatness of Washington, and testify to| those uncommon qualitiesof Taylor which were detected, as by instinct, in a moment, without any suggestion or instruction, by the whole American people. From the hour when the news of Palo Alto flew over the land, General ‘laylor was accep- ted by the popular feeling as a great man, fit and worthy to occupy the highest place of public trust; and from that hour to the present the popular feeling has never al- tered. Perhaps the writer we have quoted finds something too wonderful or supernatural in the popular instinct alluded to; and he is still more mistaken in supposing that the faculty is one not shared in by “ the ablest mef in the community,” the “ chief priests and rulers of mind,” as well by the masses of the community. The Henrys and Adamses were among the first to de- tect the gigantic capacities of Washing- ton; and there were Claytons and Crit- tenders and others among the chief men of the United States, to rise up, like seers, and declare the true character of the new-found hero of the Rio Grande, and express to him the first salutations of the American people. Why, indeed, should not all natures act alike, in such cases? instinet is not, properly, a mere inexpl:- cable intuition or inspiration: itis anact— an inconceivably rapid and energetic oue —bat still an act, and nothing more than an act, of the mind—an operation of the reason, a verdict of the judgment, in which every man’s intellect, drawing direct in- ferences from simple facts. dwells over the same thoughts and ends in the same conclusions. ‘he popular opinion, in this case, seldom changes, because it is sel- dom erroneous.

But the office of the President of a free people demands, necessarily, political, as well as intellectual and moral, qualifica- tions; and here General Taylor’s party foes think they discover incompetency in| that very moderation of views which kas commended—and deserved to commend _—him the more strongly to the confidence of the country. “Iam a Whig—but not an ultra Whig,” has ever been his fixed | _and honest declaration—a declaration per- _fectly well understood by all persons, of whatever party, to define a man of con- servative feelings, approving, personally, of the great principles of public policy known to all as the Whig system; but— | and here his second declaration on the’ subject of the Veto power explains all that might be supposed mysterious in re- gard to the meaning of the word “ ultra” —not disposed, nor willing, under any cir- cumstances, to compel that system, against their wishes, upon a majority of the peo- ple of the United States, as expressed by a majority of their Representatives in. Congress. Gen. Taylor avows—and that is one of the oldest and most conservative | of Whig doctrines—that a President of the United States ought not toemploy the veto power to prevent or nullify the acts of Congress, except in clear cases of un- constitutional or inconsiderate legislation. | In his brief and simple declaration of political faith, General Taylor has declar- | ed himself a Whig and republican; a true Democrat, who expects—should the people elect him their Chief Magistrate— | not to rule the Republic, but to execute its laws ; not to domineer over Congress, the law-making power, but to carry its _ acts; to be the faithful servant, not the. master, of the great nation ; the friend, | not the betrayer, of liberty; to be no mere great man of office, no haughty mon- arch, vain, proud, egotistic, and tyranni- cal, but the frank, unaffected, worthy, honest, plain citizen, who can perform his duties in the chair of President calmly, conscientiously, rightfully, in the same character and way in which he performed them at Buena Vista.

The English Government are adopting | the most energetic means to meet the im- | pending crisis. The Liverpool Times | says that troops are pouring into Ireland | | by thousands. Thirty thousand troops | / are concentrating in and about Cork, Lim- erick, and Tipperary. This overwhelm. | ing force has had the-effect of exaspera. | _ting instead intimidating the people to the extent anticipated. | The habeas corpus act has been sus- _pended. ‘The suspension appears in the form of a royal proclamation. The Queens special messenger arrived in Dublin on ‘the 26th of July with a copy of the pro- ,clamation. It was immediately dispached |to all parts of Ireland, and appears to have excited a deep feeling of indigna- ‘tion. | The Castle has the appearance of a_ fortress. The Attorney General and So- | | licitor General are constantly in attend. | ance ; and messages are momentarily lea- | ving, apparently on business of the high- _est importance, judging from the celerity '«{ their movements. Rewards of £5000 each have been of- ‘fered for the arrest of Smith O’Brien, | Meagher. Dillon, and Dohney. A report _has reached Dublin that the former gen- 'tleman had fled. The London papers of the 29th ultimo | _state that the accounts received from the | south of Ireland are of a most sanguinary | character, were no longer to be regarded _as events of the most improbable charac- , ter. Such was the state of feeling in the. south of Ireland that Government had is- sued orders for a constabulary force of | five thousand men to be added to the coun- tries of Waterford, Limerick, and Tippe- | | rary. These menare to be drilled to the use of | the cutlas, pistol, and musket, as it was_ anticipated that the coming insurrection | would partake of the character of a guer- rilla war. | Smith O’Brien, Meagher, Dillon, and | the other leaders of the League, although | under the ban of the Government, are far | from being idle. They are still organizing | and drilling the clubs, the orders from the | Castle to the contrary notwithstanding. In spite of the vigilance of the Govern. ment, pikes, muskets, ball, and powder, | and other munitions of war, are transpor- _ted in all directions. From the tone of some of the Dublin papers, the great struggle cannot be de- layed many days longer. The Lord Lieutenant has at length ta- ken a bold and decisive stand. He hasis- | sued a proclamation, in which orders are given for the suppression of the clubs. Some of the English journals, commen- ting on this proclamation, are quite con- fident that not only will the clubs be sup- | pressed, but that the anticipated insurrec- tion will be quelled without much difficul- ty or effusion of blood. On the 28th of July the office of the Du- , -blin Nation was seized by a large police force.

At Liverpool serious apprehensions were entertained of an outbreak on the part of the Chartists. ‘T'wenty thousand special constables had been sworn in, with a view of meeting any emergency. Can it be proven that he is entitled to the | support of sreriinc Democrats, by any other process of reasoning than a resort to the fact he 2s the nominee of the Balti- more Convention, and the further FIxED fact that the Democracy are compelled by a law of party, quietly to submit, yielding whatever convictions of right, of duty, and of patriotism they may have, and fall into | the traces ?—in a word, that Ritchie, (the acknowledged leader,) the delegates to the Convention, and the redoubtable Command- er, are to ¢hink, speak, and act for them? This is certainly the strongest reason yet given; and to those accustomed to the government of Baltimore leaders it is suf- ficient; but to South Carolinians, who have ever opposed conventions and cau- cusses as corrupt systems of unwarranted dictation, it should have no weight, but should rather lead to an exercise of the strictest vigilance. Is General Cassa tho- rough Democrat? Is he such a Democrat as to give importance at this tame to party questions? Some time ago he was an open Federalist, and seems to have taken pride in making his opinions known thro’ a black cockade. In 1844 he was opposed to the annexation of Texas, the question which carried the Democratic party into power, or rather had more influence in bringing about that result than any other; but in the same year I acknowledge he is to be found inits favor. He has said that ‘our manufactures ought to be protected by reasonable duties,’ making him in fa- vor of a Tariff for protection ; and he has voted, and would now vote, in favor of a | system of internal improvement by the gen- erul government. Mr. Polk, ’tis true, re- ceived the well merited applause of the party for interposing his veto in the last instance, but Mr. Cass received from the same party, what he values more highly, and what is certainly more durable, the nomination, when Mr. Cass’s vote is in di- rect opposition to Mr. Polk’s veto. Now, therefore, Mr. Cass is put up as the great embodiment of Democratic principles; and | it is to be presumed that these principles have undergone a change ; its principles have deserted the party, or the party have deserted its principles for availability, and we are in the same fix in which the whigs have found themselves. But isthe Balti- more nominee safe on the great question of slavery? Mr. Calhoun and all our lea- ding statesmen have contended always ‘that Congress has no right to legislate on the subject; neither have the Territories | the right to settle the question—but that the people of the States alone are compe- tent to decide it. Mr. Calhoun and his coadjutors have been lauded to the skies ‘for the masterly ability they have exhib- ‘ited in support of this high constitutional ground; and whenever the proof of the -constitutionality of this position has been asked for, the South as one man has point- ed to their printed speeches as unanswer- able arguments. The Southern press, whig and democratic, has lead us to believe that this was the ground taken never to be yielded, by all true Southerners. But, Mr. Editor, this was before the nomtnation— ‘before the behests of the convention were known—and before their nominee had spoken. The change has been gradual— yet it has been sudden. General Cass, finding his previous ‘ Wilmot Proviso’ doc- trines a little too ultra for the South, and fearing to make the tremendous leap all at once, carefully measures the distance, and leaps, he thinks half way—leaving the other half for another ‘ political neces- sity.’ His doctrine (as understood from the ‘Nicholson Letter’) now is, that the Territories have the right to decide the question. Not long before he was regret- struggle for power. cian, and cannot be dragged into this a-_ I confess, Mr. Editor, 1 would vastly pre- fer a good Southern Democrat. Still, I believe Taylor safer than Cass. His in- terests are with us, and his enemies ac- knowledge that he is honest. I am one of those who believe that if an honest north- erner even, comes among us, and becomes acquainted with our people and institu- tivus, as they are, he will discard his for- mer views and become one of us. Tay- | lor is an honest southerner, and as he has not expressed an opinion on the slavery question, it is reasonable to consider him sound. He does not seek the Presidential chair, and therefore it is that he does not give us more information as to his opin- | ions. It has been acknowledged by Sen- ators, stump-speakers, and public prints, on the part of our foes, that the agitation | of this question is designed to advance a Taylor is no politi- | bominable game. We must judge men, | |as it respects their opinions, by their past | lives—and all the ‘ Lamb’s’ or goats in creation should not be able to convince us | that Taylor does not like our institutions, | when the fact stares us in the face that he has lived under them all his life, from choice, not from compulsion—and when he assists, by his occupation as an exten- sive planter, in upholding them. Cass says, for himself—not another for him— ‘I deprecate the existence of slavery, and pray for its abolition. If any one can prove Gen. Taylor to be against us, he will prove him to be dishonest and a mad- man—he will prove him to be a bad citi- zen, utterly destitute of principle ; and, in fact, a villain of the deepest dye. But | do not fear the test. ‘Ile is known by his companions, is the maxim held up to us by hisenemies. And who, pray, are Cass’s companions? Allen, Benton, Atherton, Fitzgerald, Dodge, Walker, &c. &c. I have said, Mr. Editor, as much as | intended upon this subject, for the present. I am no politician, and as long as I con- tinue compos mentis, I shall never seek to be one; but this matter is of interest to all, and should be considered by all who are entitled, either directly or indirectly, toa vote. There are other objections to General Cass, such as his ultra war ideas, and so forth but the question which agi- tates our country now, and threatens se- riously to disturb the harmony of the Un- ion. is the only one which has determined the mind of JASPER. THE END OF THE SESSION. The two Houses of Congress yesterday terminated their very long and tedious, and rather unprofitable session, at noon, according to the joint resolution fixing upon that time for the adjournment. A great deal of business—more even | than usual—has been left in an unfinish- ed state. Yet all the Annual Bills, and , the Oregon Government Bill, have, with other important bills, become laws, and the machine of Government will continue - to work on as usual, until the Sehate and House of Representatives come together again on the first Monday in December next.—Nutional Intelligencer 15th inst.

Let us now see what is the condition of the lerritory of the United States as to slavery, in the absence of all legislation by Congress the subject. 1 shall direct pc dicey. ah pm Mexico and California. Cupie itapor. tant to the South mate part of a Recher com. Nobody believes that, under any cir- promise. cumstances, slavery can ever gothere. Slave. ry will cease to exist, when slate labor te re- duced to hunting bear and setting beaver trape. | If our territorial acquisitions had been confined _ to Oregon, extended even to 54° 40’, we shoutd | not now be deliberating how the Republic is | to be saved. New Mexico and California are the apples of diseord. We are already reap- _ ing the bitter fruit of national cupidity. Could mny voice prevail, they should never become a part of ourcountry. We might yet throw awny the worthless acquisition. As a legi however, I must look at things as they aetaally will exist, not as | would*have them. Without some action by ress, can sla- very exist in those territories ? If legal au- thority is of any weight it cannot. Blackstone thus writes upon the subject : “Tt hath been held that if an uninhabited country be discovered and planted by English subjects, all the English laws then ia being, which are the birthright of every subject, are immediately there in force.” “ But in conquered or ceded countries, that have already laws of their own, the King may, indeed, alter or change those laws; but till be does actually change them, the ancient laws of the country remain, except such as are againet the laws of God, as in infidel countries.” Chief Justice Marshall, in his opinion in the case of the American Insurance Company vs. Three hundred and fifiy-six bales of cotton, (1 Peters’ Reports, 542,) adupts this principle as the rule of our courts : “ The usage of the world is, if a nation be not entirely subdued, to consider the holding of conquered territory as a mere military occupa. tion, until its fate shall be determined at the treaty of peace. If it be ceded by treaty thé acquisition is confirmed, and the poe becomes a part of the nation to which it is an- nexed, either on the terms stipulated in the treaty, or on such as its new master shall im. pose. On such transfer of property it has ne- ver been held that the relations of the inbabi- tants undergo any change. ‘heir relations with their former sovereign are dissolved, and new relations are created between them and the Government which has acquired their ter. ritory. The same act which transfers their country transfers the allegiance of those who remain in it; and the law which may be de. nominated political is necessarily changed, al- though that which regulates the intercoarse and general conduct of individuals remains in foree until altered by the newly-created power of the State.” “It has already been stated that the laws which were in force in Florida, while a provinee of Spain, those excepted which were political in their character, whf€h concerned the rela- tions between the people and their sovereign, remained in force until altered by the Govern. ment of the United States.” Slavery is a municipal regulation. The doc. trine is to be found in the case of Prigg vs. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Reported in 16th volume of Peters’ United States reports, page 611. “ By the general law of nations, no nation is bound to recognise the state of slavery, as to foreign slaves found within ite limits, when it is in Opposition to its own policy, é&c.” “If it does, it is as a matter of comity and not a matter of international right. The state of slavery is deemed to @e a mere municipal regulation founded upon and limited to the range of the Pai. The Constitution, it is true, extends over all territory which the Government acquires. Does it carry slavery there? I bave never heard it alleged that the Constitution established slavery; the argument is that it recognises it ; this is not strictly true; it recognises the municipal laws and regulations of the States whick admit it, as far as they have any operative force, that is, within the territorial limits of the State. It goes no further, except in one particular case provided for expressly in the second section of the fuurth article: If a slave “escape ” into the free States, he must, under that clause, be “delivered up on claim ;” bis owner may take him back to States where the institution existe. He gannot hold him in slavery in the free State in which he is taken, any longer than, under the circumstances, is necessary to carry him back. Ifthe Constitution recognises slaves as property, wherever they may be within our limits, where was the necessity for this pro- vision? Again, the clause of the Constitution which tolerated the slave trade until 1808, gives Congress, by implication, power over the sub- ‘ject outside of the limits of the States, and re- fers the existence of the institution to the States themselves. By it Congress is prohibited from forbidding the importation of such property into such States, then in existence, as should “ think proper to admit uw.” ‘The relation between the States, as to their municipal law, is foreign.— In the case of bills of exchange, drawn by a citizen of one State upon a citizen of another State, we apply the law-merchant as it operates upon foreign bills. The records ond judicial proceeding of the courts of one of the States would be regarded by the courts of any other State as the records and judicial proceedings of a foreign court, were it not for an express provision on the subject in the Constitution.— The Constitution thus recognises, by this clause, as well as the one in relatiun to slaves who have escaped into free States, this foreign se. lation of the States to one another, as to their municipal laws, by providing against je effect in particular cases. It is difficult to see how the relation of the States to the territories is more intimate than that of the States to one another. ; By the laws of Mexico, as they existed in the territories of New Mexico «i California, at the time of the acquisition, African slavery is prohibited.

Let us meet it in aspiritof calmness and conciliation, not with heated denunciations and angry threats. Let us meet it with a cetermi- nation to settle it, aud we must assuredly suc- ceed. I will examine the bill a Jittle more in detail. The people of Oregon have enacted a code of Jaws fur themselves. ‘These are subject to our control, and among them is one excluding sla- very. The bill provides that these laws shall , be and continue in force until “three months after the first meeting of the Legislature.” When the Levislature inecis, these must be re- enacted, or new Jaws made and brought to Congress under the sixth section of the bill for approval. Slaveholders in the mean time can. not take their property, and consequently will not settle there. ‘The Legislature will be com- posed of free soil men, and of course the law of exclusion will be re-enacted, and the ques- tion come up before Congress again. If the bill had passed, we could not in honor have dis- approved thislaw. The effect of course of all this unmeaning legislation, would be to keep open the eubsect, bring it again befure Congress for agitation and secure, beyond doubt, to the North the share which she is to have under this compact. [n the mean time the South is to take her chance, which [| think [ have shown to be a bad one, for California and New Mex. ico. ‘The matter is to be suspended until a case is made for the courts. ‘The fanatics of the North are invited to send their cmissaries to stir up dissensions af@ law suits between the master and bis slave.

As soon as the slavehoider gets into the country, bis slaves are. all informed that it is expected by Congress that they will institute suits against their master, to try the question of their freedom. One suit may determine the general question, but each slave must stand upon the particular circumstances of his case. What a picture for a southern man to look up- on. Can slavery ever in fact be carried there under such circumstances, even if the Consti- tution extends’? it, as it is contended it does, over the territory ? I do not agree with mv colleague that all the South ought to ask in relation to this territory lgnon-intervention. [maintain that if we have any right. whether that right be under the Con. stitution, or founded upon equity and justice, to carry slave property there, we have also, as a necessary conseqnence, a right to some legi- station to protect and secure it. In a new and sparsely populated country the laws are, at best, imperfectly executed, and this peculiar kind of property requires something more than the rules of the common law, as applied to other proper- ty, to protect and secure it. Look at the statute hooks of the slave Stites. See the lone list of police and criminal laws we have found it ne- cessary to enact.

No ‘doubt of ite Bat nig bolts wse their enmforts are increased, and/ their m@ral and social con- dition improved. dn its application to slaves this rute does not hold good. The reason ceas- ing, the rule ceases also. The condition of the slave, moral or social, is the same. It is the will and heart of the master that makes bis condition more or less tolerable, and the obli- gations which public opinion impose upon him, are certainly as great and as strongly enforced in a country which has advanced in intelligence and refinement, as in one that is new and thin- ly settled. In connexion with this subject there is a fact which speaks loudly for the humanity and kindness of the master, and the comfurta- ble condition of the slave. ‘There bas been no | importation of slaves since 1808. Besides the natural increase of the white population, there | have been, during the whole existence of the Government, very large accessions to it from | emigration, and yet the aggregate increase of | slaves has been as great as that of the white | population of the country. ‘Io go back to the | subject, if it were true that the condition of the slave would be improved, it would seem to me to be an argument which appealed to the moral | sense of the North for, rather than against, its extension. | I cannot sec, sir, how the interests of the slave States is to be advanced, or the institution strengthened at home, by taking away their cili- zens and their slave property.

THE COMPROMISE. It will be seen under our Washington head that the territorial} bill has passed the Senate by a large majority. This is as we expected. In the House, doubtless, it will be stopped, either by a rejection, or by the adjourning without voting for it. As far as we understand the nature of this compromise. it seems to be one of doubtful advantage tothe South. Accor- ding to the old mode of construing laws it is effectually securing the new territory as free territory.—-What new process, could be devised under it to evade the force of these old laws and decisions, has not yet been made plain in the speeches on the bill. Indeed, most of these speech- es have exhibited a plentiful lack of wis- dom on almost all subjects concerning its principal features. We think with Mr. Phelps. the aati-extension senator from Vermont, and one of the best lawyers in He defended the bill, on the all that the Wilmot Proviso men of the north demanded it should be. ed slavery practically in Oregon imme- diately, and would certainly prevent the introduction of slavery into New Mexico and California, and that was all he de- sired. In giving his assent tothe bill in committee, he said, he had not given up an iota of his principles of those of his constituents. It is, therefore, we think, not to be la. mented that the bill will, in all probabili- ty, be defeated in the Ilouse of Represen- talives. From the Journal and Messenger. Tue Dereat or THE TERRITORIAL BILL.— | It seems that oar opponents are resolved | to make a new issue out of the defeat of) what is called the Territorial or Compro- inise Bill, and Mr. Stephens, the mover of the Resolution to lay it on the table, is denounced on all hands. So far from condemning Mr. Stephens we feel convin- ced that when the facts are properly placed before the public he will be regarded by the people of Georgia, as one of the bold- est and noblest Champions of Southern rights. The Bill itself was a virtual cap- itulution to the Barnburners. It was no compromise. It gave up every thing. It recognised the principle of the Wilmot Proviso in its worst shape, as applied to the Territory of Oregon and only deferred | the settlement of the question in reference | It gave. no new rights or guarantees to the South, | to California and New Mexico. except that it allowed any case to be car- ried up however smal/the amount involved.

In this state of the case it is not presu- mable that any sane man would carry | property into a region where there are no laws to protect it, and where its very ex- istence would have to be contested before a distant court, and ata cost of thousands of dollars. was a virtual exclusion of Slavery from every foot of Territory acquired by the late Treaty. That Territory has been purchased with Southern treasure and at the expense of Southern blood, and how could any Southern man with proper feel. | ings agree to offer the whole of it-upon the altar of Northern cupidity ? diately upon the passage of the Bill in the Senate, confessed that the discussions had shaken his confidence in the success of the measure as a Settlement of the vexed question. Many other grave Senators expressed their doubts, though they vo- ted for it. Mr. Badger of North Car- olina openly opposed the Bill in a speech of machless power and point. phens we are asured did not stand alone in his opposition to the Bill. it is true. from his colleagues as to the’ proper manner of disposing of it. They de- sired to have it considered and discussed. He believed, that a clear majority of the House were immovably opposed to it. and that a discussion of its merits would ‘involve the country in an expense of thou- sands of dollars, and result in an inerease of the present excitement in the embitter- _ing of sectional feelings and probably en- danger the very existence of the Union itself. At this distance from the scene of ex- citement. it is impossible for us to deter. mine upon the full force of these views. We have no doubt however, that this and_ many others of equal or greater impor- tance, prompted him to assume the res- ponsibility of moving to lay the Bill on the table. We look only however, to the demerits of the Bill, which were quite suf- ficient to justify any Southern man in op- posing it. It is no argument in its favor, that it was opposed by certain Northern | fanatics. These men are resolved to be satisfied with nothing short of a positive enactment of the ordinance of 1787, or in other words, the Wilmot Proviso. They therefore oppose’every thing which does | -not come up fully to this mark. time the South yields, the North will be-. cone more emboldened and more exact- | Every ting, until, as was the case in this com- promise Bill, we will finally be required to succumb and give up every thing.

This Coart is to a great extent, the creature of Exec- ' utive will. It is even now rumored that a majority of the Judges are with the North on this great issue.

No candid man will believe ing more nor less than giving up, first principal and then the control of the whole question to that body. As Southern men we object to this. The South should ne- her rights ; but should plant herself firm- ly upon them and let those violate them who seek to meet the consequences. _ There is no danger of disunion coming from this question.

SLAVERY QUESTION. The Washington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, after referring to the action of Congress on the Slavery question at the close of the recent session, makes these statements: “The Southern men, generally, of both |parties, and more particularly the Cal. houn men, leave this city with a fixed de- | termination to recommend to the South some decided and separate action on this subject. “The attempt made.to procure a meet- ing of the Southern members signally fail- ed. Mr. Meade, a member from Peters- burg, Va., wrote and carried around a pa- per inviting a meeting of the Southern members, without distinction of party, for the purpose of protesting against the course of Congress on this subject and de- manding for the South to be placed on equal footing with the North, as to the use and enjoyment of the new territories.— The paper was handed to many, and very few consented to sign it, many refused. If the meeting had been held, it would have been not amecting of Southern mem- men of the South. “The same will be the result, no doubt, of any attempt that may be made in the Southern States, to get up a Convention. Gen. Houston declared that no respecta- ble men in the South could go intoa Con- vention of a character so wild, unneces- sary, and mutinous. Mr. Calhoun would not heed the Convention, declared the General, because he himself voted against the bill containing the Missouri Compro- 'mise—and, continued he—Heaven will not heed it—and men would scout it.” HON. JOHN M. BOTTS, The course pursued by Mr. Botts about the time of the National Whig Convention, and his devoted adherance to Mr. Clay, is “known to our reders. Ina letter recently published, ‘addressed to a Mr. Janney, he alludes to his convictions of the strength of Mr. Clay and his dissatisfaction with the position of Gen. ‘Taylor, | in relation to the Whig party. He cannot: stultify himself by now professing a chanue of /opinion. But mark the close of his letter; it is worthy the man, and a plain indication of the proper course of every patriotic Whig in similar circumstances :— “ But, then there is another thing that J can _do. While I cannot play the part of an active partisan and pretend that Gen. Taylor is an acceptible candidate to me, I can say that he is far preferable to Gen.

We suppose that every man in North Carolina, at all conversant with public affairs, remembers how the Locofocos have been holding up that party as the one above all others to be trusted by the DAVID | people of the South, on the subject of Ne- gro Slavery! And how thissame dough- faced party slanders and villifies all who | dare to question its sincerity and its alle- giance to the South as being stronger than those who have given the whole of their lives to the service of the Country, and who have faced and confronted the ene- my—saved the Country, when others | had abandoned all idea of saving it. With- . out further remarks, to show the hypocri- sy of those who call themselves Demo- crats on this vital question, we ask the People of North Carolina, or that portion of them that voted for David S. Reid, if they knew, they voted for a Wilmot Pro- visoist 2? If they did not know it, we tell them now, that they did vote for a man for Governor, who voted while in Con- gress to prevent Southern men from car- Yes, DAVID S. REID, the Democratic candidate for Governor of North Carolina, | voted with the North upon this question. He deserted the South, and notwithstand- ing this desertion by him, he was run and voted for by the Democrats as the very type of honesty and fidelity on this vexa- tious question. Where is all the indigna- tion of the Locofoco papers and leaders ? out of the party for giving this Northern vote? No! Itis not democratic to do so ; but they will hug him to their bosom just as they are now duing Sam. Houston and Benton, Locofoco Senators from Texas and Missouri, although they voted for the Bill establishing a Territorial Govern- ment in Oregon, which contained this un- just restriction against the rights of the Southern States. We appeal to the Peo- ple, to say, if they are satisfied with such a manifestation of fidelity of Southern de- mocratic Senators to their rights! Would not every Locofoco paper and gabler of this heterogenous party have been per- fectly furzous if two Whig Senators from Slaveholding States had voted for the Or- egon Bill the other day in the Senate ?— Common sense and former practice teach- es us such would have been their course. But it so happens, that the deserters and traitors to Southern interests are self-styled democrats, and not a word do we hear from the peculiar guardians of our rights. But with that ampudence, characteristic only of Locofocos, they shout from corner to corner for Cass, another “ Northern man Will the peo- ple of the South be longer deceived by these political tricksters? Will they pre- fer Lewis Cass—a man without any feel- ing in common with theirs on this or any other question, to General Zacnary Tay- Lor, Who has always been with them and one of them.

Emory of the Uni. | ted States Topographical Engineers, made in 1846 and °47, giving account of the Topography, Climate and Products of the Country. It will be observed, that Lieut. _Emory’s description of this Paradise of the Locofocos, does not tally with that giv. en by the orators of the party when be. fore the People for the Legislature in this as well as other Counties, hardly in any particular. Instead of being one of the most desirable countries in the world for the Farmer, it is said by an intelligent American Officer, in the employ of the Government, to be an arid waste, unfit for cultivation, except right on the banks of its principal rivers, and then only by wrrigation—or in other words, the farmer, to be able to raise his bread must cause these rivers to overflow to answer the purposes of rain as the rains cannot be depended upon. There are, also, but few trees, and only along the principal range of mountains are to be found a few live oaks, sycamores and pines; so that this most important item to the settler is not té be had. Such being the case, it is not vy any means fit for agricultural purposes, certainly not the country represented by the democracy, in justification of the Pre- sident in bringing on the war. Let it be borne in mind by the People, that this is a portion of the Territory which was ac- quired by the Mexican War, and which cost so much blood and money—the work of Locofoco misrule: “ About midday (20th Jan. 1847,) we reached Sen Diego, and next morning taking leave of my men and animals that had done us such good service, I embarked on board the prize brig Malek Adhel,; commanded by Lieutenant Schenck, of the Navy, and prepared to take | my leave of Upper or Alta California. Before doing 0, however, ] may venture vpon a few genera! remarks, based upon personal observations, wpon tire tepography, climate, and products of that portion of the country net covered by my survey, or that of others. These obeer- vaticns were made after I had become separated from my assistants and instrameftts, my mind being engross- ed with other subjects. The information contained in them is, therefore, less precise than that contained in other portions of my journal. The region, extending from the head of the Gui of California to the parallel of the Pueblo, or Ciudad de los Angels, is the only portion not heretofore covered by my own notes and journal, or by the notes and journals of | other scientific expeditions fitted out by the United States. The journais and published accounts of these several expeditions combined, will give definite ideas of all those portions of California susceptible of cultivation or set 'tement. From this remark is to be exeepted the vasl basin watered by the Colorado, and the country lying between that river and the range of Cordilleras. repre: sented as running east of the Tulare lakes, and south of the parallel of 36°, and the country between the Cole rado and Gila rivers. Of these regions nothing is known except from tht reports of trappers, and the speculations of géologisis — As far as these accounts go, all conear in representing it as a waste of sand and rock, unadorned with vegeta tion, poorly watered, and unfit, it is believed, for ans & the useful purposes of life.

Along the principal range of mountains are a few live oaks, sycamore, and pine ; now and then, but very rarely, the yeamere and cotton wood occur in the champaign coun- try, immediately on the margins of the streams. ‘ | | | | | CLINGMAN, feel satisfied they will dort (Mark this, ye | wise prophetso thie democratic school. —_—_—— en Messrs.

Thatthe present advocates of law and order will lose no politi- cal power by such an arrangement is pertectly obvious to the most casual observer. ‘Their numerical strength lies inthe great West: and the change will give them aclear majority of thirty-eight or forty members upon joint ballot in the Legislature. And as the Democrats have put the ball in motion, we are not quite sure but that they may want it stopped betore its progress shall be arrested. It is much ea- sier to raise the devil than to lay him. And when it shall be too late, they may weep and howl over the dark spots of locofocoism: for neither tar, pitch, turpentine nor terrapins will bave any influence in our councils then.” UF The Locofocos say Cass never was in favor of the Wilmot Proviso, or slave- ry restriction clause. He (Cass) says in his Nicholson letter, “Iam strongly im- pressed with the opinion that a change has been going on in the public mind up- on this subject—in my own as wellas oth- ers.” If this Northern candidate for Sou- thern votes never was a Wilmot Proviso- ist, why was a change taking place in his mind? Is not this evidence of the fact? And is it reasonable to suppose that if Mr. Cass had not been fishing after the Presidency he would never have written this Nicholson letter? No. He would still be a stern opposer of Southern inter- ests, He would still present his peti- lions for the Abolition of Slavery, and op- pose to the last any participation by the South in the territory acquired by the war. We repeat that Cass is a Wilmot Provi- Soist, and should he be elected will ap- Prove it just asdid Jas. AK. Pork! when he signed the Oregon Bill. Remember, Sou- thern democrats, that James K.

S a whole nation has spoken enthusiastically of the unrivalled excellence of Dr. Le Roys Vegetable Universal Pills, it may seem useless to publish individu- al certificates ; still we feel induced to yield to custom, by admitting the following ; the nore willingly, as they ema- nate from persons who are not likely to be misled, by the popular excitement which the appearance of those Pills has occasioned. From the Medical Times, Sept. 18, 1845. Opposed as we are ,to modern patent medicines, we cannot be silent to the virtues of Dr. Le Roy’s much laud- His Pills are indeed a purgative which may be taken without risk, or the advice of a physician ; for they produce evacuation without weakness, and cause energy in the digestive functions, without straining them, and thus paving the way for re-action and apathy. From the Lancet, August 23, 1845. Dr. Le Roy has most happily succeeded in combining Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla with other vegetable ingre- dients, so as to produce a medicine at once tonic, and purgative, the only perfect discovery of the kind ever made, though a desideratum which the ablest physicians in all ages have eagerly sought for. From the Journal of Pharmacy, July 1, 1846. As far as we have had time to judge, both by hearsay | and experience, Dr. Charles Le Roy has made a most valuable discovery, and added a purgative to the list of medicines which must take the precedence of all others, as being the safest and most effective. Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry are the principal ingredients of his Pills.— We shall recur to them more particularly in our next number. For sale by Messrs. Brown & James, Salisbury ; Je P.

THE CROWDi.vD STREET. BY WM. CULLEN BRYANT. Let me move slowly through the street, ” Filled with an ever-shifting train, Amid the soand of steps that beat The mormoring walks like automn rain. — &- * How fast the flitting figures come— The mild the fierce, the stony face— Some bright with thoughtless smiles, and some Where secret tears have left their trace. They pass—to toil, to strive, to rest ; To halla in which the feast is spread ; To chambers where the funeral guest In silence sits beside the dead. And some to happy homes repair, Where children, pressing cheek to cheek, With mute caresseg shal] declare The tenderness they cannot speak. And some, who walk in calinness here, Shall shudder as they reach the door— Where one who made their dwelling dear, Its flower, its light, is seen no more. Youth, with pale cheeks and slender frame, | And dreams of greatness in thine eye! Goest thou to build an early name, | Or early in the task to die? | | Keen sons of trade, with anxious brow ! | Who is now fluttering in thy snare ? Thy golden fortunes, tower they now? Or melt the gittering spires in air? Who of this crowd, to-night, shall tread The dance till daylight gleams again ? Who sorrow o'er the untimely dead ? Who writhe in throes of mortal pain ? Some, famine struck, shall think how long The cold, dark bours, bow slow the light! And some, who flaunt among the throng, Shall hide in dens of shaine to-night. Each where his task or pleasures call, They pass, and heed each other not ; There is, who heeds, who holds them all | In His large love and boundless thought. These struggling tides of life, that seem | In wayward, aimless course to tend, Are eddies of the mighty stream That rolls to its appointed end. | 7 ~ - a a | OUR LITTLE BOY. When the evening shadows gather | Round about our quiet hearth, Comes our eldest born onto os, | Bending humbly to the earth. And with hands enclasped tightly, And with meek eyes raised above, To the source of light and love. | “ Bless my parent, O, my Father! Blesa my little sister dear ; While [ gently take my slumbers, Be thy guardian angels near. Should no morning's dawn e’er greet me > ty | Beaming brightly from the skies, Thine the eye of love to meet me In the paths of Paradise.” f | Now a glad “ Good night” he gives us, | And he seals it with a kiss; | Naught of earthly sorrow grieves us In an hour so full of bliss. Now our arms about him wreathing, | One fond kiss before he sleep ; Soon we hear his gentle breathing In a slumber calm and deep. | SMALL BEGINNING. Despise not the day of small things. | This sentence contains wisdom and _phil- osophy, as well as scripture. It is very easy and natural to sneer at small begin- nings and humble means, but it is not al- ways wise todo so. It is better to com.) mence on an humble scale, and come out in good style at last, than suffer a severe | collapse after an extensive and ridiculous flourish. Some men will do better with a capital of sixpefise, than they would if half the fortune of Astor had been given. them tocommence with. We have heard it told of a man worth his millions, that he commenced by selling fruit at a street stall. We have seen boys at school roll a handfal of snow upon the ground, till, by its accumulated matter, it became so bulky, that a dozen could scarcely move | it. Sands make the mountains, moments make the year, drops make the ocean; and so, little endeavors, earnestly, unceas- | ingly, and honestly put forth, make the great men in the world’s history. We say then don't despise the day of smallthings. Ifyou have an undertak- ing to accomplish, or a good thing to bring about, begin according to your means, and never be discouraged because you cannot make so magnificent a commence- ment as you could wish. Old King John the Frenchman, five hundred years ago took it into his head to found a library ; and he began with—what do you suppose? ten volumes. But he knew what he was about ; for that library —the Royal Libra- ry of Paris—is now the most magnificent public library in the world, and contains 700,000 volumes. A whale one day came frolicking into the harbor of Nantucket, a short time af: ter the first settlement of that island, and as for many hours it continued there, the enterprising inhabitants were induced to contrive and prepare a large barbed iron With a strong cord attached, with which they finally succeeded in securing this aquatic monster. A small matter, truly ; but it was the commencement of a busi- ness which has added millions to the wealth of the people—the incipient intro- duction to an enterprise which nearly three quarters of a century ago extorted a noble tribute of admiration from Ed- mund’ Burke, on the floor of the British Parliament. The fishermen in Holland once had a cispute in a tavern, on the question whe- ther the fish takes the hook, or the hook, takes the fish. From the trivial cireum- stance arose tWo cpposing parties the * Hooks” and the “ Cobble-Joinst,” who for two centuries divided the nation, and maintained a contest not unlike that be- tween the red and white roses in Eneland.

National Library. The Girl who would be Married. Mr. W had by industry and economy. He was a man | of rather superior mind and acquirements, but _ unfortunately became addicted to habits of in- temperance. Naturally fond of company, pos- sessing superior conversational powers, his so- ciety was much sought, and he eventually be- came a sot. His wife was a feeble woman, without much decision of character; but an on- ly child, a daughter, was the reverse, illustra- ting one of those singular laws of nature, that the females ofienest take after the father in cha. racter and personal personalities, and the males afier the mother. Mary was well aware of the consequences that would inevitably follow her father’s course, and had used every exertion of reason and per- suasion in her power, to induce him to alter his habits, but without avail; his resolutions and promises could not withstand temptation and he pursued his downward course, till the poor girl despaired of reform, and grievously realized what the end must resulf’in. John D was a young man from the East, possessed of a good education, as all our New England boys are, and the most indomitable in- dustry and perseverance, and was working on the farm of a neighbor by the month.

Mexican Art.—There are many interest. ing specimens of Mexican art and taste now ex- hibited on St. Charles St., opposite the theatre. which cost originally $5000, is a gorgeous and magnificent piece of art, and displays in strong light the great skill and taste of the Mexican mechanics. It would be in vain to attempt a are its texture and ornaments. It glitters with precious stones, and is heavy with gold and sil- ver. The pommell is a solid gold eagle’s head, and the green velvet of the seat is reliev- ed by the most tasteful and elegant gold and silver embroidery. ‘The stirrups are of solid silver washed with gold. The bridle is of gold cord, and the front piece is of gold, studded with brilliants, and jewels of different lines.— Throughout all the appurtenances prevails the same luxuriance of wealth. This saddle was taken at Puebla when Santa Anna was forced to make a precipitate retreat from that town.— It was manufactured in that place. Among other interesting curiosities exhibited is the gold cloth dress in which the infant of Gen. ‘Genta Anna, by his present wife, was christened. his was found in a tortoise-shell box of diminutive dimension and ingeniously in. terlined with silver and gold. ‘The same box contained a miniature silver trunk, intended no doubt, to amuse the young Santa Anna.

SS @AROLINA WA a eee ee Sia ZACHARY TAYLOR. We occupy a large portion of our present number with letters from the pen of General Tayior, and some inter- eating notices of his personal and public character. Our readets-are ttew in possession of all the authentic private and pglitical correspondence of the Wria candidate for the Presidency. There is not a line of it which his best frietid would wish to blot. The pervading sentimet of hig“political letters is in all respects honorable to him— the determination to be the President of the Prorte.— Sueh was the desire uniformly expressed by Wasuinc- rox. Such was the desire uniformly expressed by the Jamented Herrison. Strange is it, indeed, that a wish that was uttered by these great men, should have been the sabject of such severe criticism when uttered by Gen- eral Taxcor. Li is gratifying to turn from the contemplation of a life and character like those of Lewis Cass, to the life and charecter of Zacuany Taxtor.

Seldom is it that he permits himself to write or talk about them— but, when he does, it is with a modesty that is only equalled by his merit. As far as deeds go, heaven knows that Lewis Cass can show but a meagre catalogue —and yet he is never tired of egotizing about his milita- ry exploits. Even when writing a letter to Mr. Catiin about bis Indian pictures, with the view of recommend- ing them to public attention, he could not miss the op- portunity to say, that he had “rovacur with Indians and against them.” about his ware—and yet we all know that the only wars of any severity in which he was ever engaged, were his wars upon the Treasury of the United States. he was a perfect hero we adinit. and threw away his shield, with the most devoted self- sacrifice in ali these battles. plunder from these wars.

Mr. McCiexranp says, that the sum paid in the way of extras to Mr. Cass, was “ probably much less than an examination of the accounts of his distinguished oppo- nent would show that he had received as extra compen- sation during his career of service—which service it is no digparagement to him to say, has, for the greater part of the time, consisted of only the tormal routine of light military duty, at comparatively unimportant posts, and for which a calculation of only his regular and ordinary pay, and allowances, in the several grades through which he has passed, (SEPARATE AND APART FROM EXTRA ALLOW- ANCES,) the large gam of $127,0U0, as will appear trom a statement in my possession, and subject to any person’s examiuation.” trath which he has suggested in the parenthesis we have print- ed in small capitals. He knew at the time of making this apeech, that Zacnary Trywor had never soiled his hands with a SINGLE DOLLAR OF EXTRA COMPENSATION.— Mr. $277,468 Rircute knew this fact when he gave cir- culation to this untruth, in the columns of his hired or- gans, The Democratic Congressional Committee knew it when they printed Mr. McCveteanp’s speech for uni- versal circulation.

My honorable friend from Delaware, (Mr. Clayton.) says that no intention was announced to press this measure through iu haste. If by that he means that no such terms were used, he is undoubtedly correct. But, in point of fact, how stands the matter? My friend announced that he would press this bill upon the consid- eration of the Senate. It was first called Representatives, June 1, 1848,” and head- ed, “Slavery in the Territories.” In this speech are some remarks in reference to myself, and I read them because, as the Senate will see, they have an immediate connexion with the subject under consid- eration. The passage will be found [on important subjects | like to be precise] on _the 7th page, near the foot of the left hand column, and is in these words: “ A distinguished Sentaor of my own State, (Mr. Badger,) a gentleman of high attainments and extended reputation, in a recent speech on the Oregon bill, admitted the right of Congress to legislate for the exclusion of slavery in the Territories, but placed the South upon the prin- ciple of expediency and the sense of justice of the Federal Legislature.” Now, to those who are curious in such matters, it may be somewhat interesting to learn that, in this speech, distributed in North Carolina about the middle of this up, if I recollect aright, on Saturday af. ternoon; and, after a long and laborious — session, my honorable friend resisted a motion for adjournment, and on the yeas and nays, voted against it. The Monday after was spent in the consideration of the bill, and precisely the same result took place. My honorable friend in charge of the bill, to whom its friends naturally look- ed for the course they ought to pursue up- on motions for adjournment, still declined to adjourn. Yes, after a session of full seven hours, nearly eight, I may add, when my honorable friend from Kentucky, (Mr. Underwood,) rose to address the Senate, himself a member of the committee; when many Senators were exhausted, and some prostrated ; and when even I, with a con- stitution of iron, and youth besides on my side, felt some respite to be necessary, a motion to adjourn was carried, upon the /yeas and nays, against the vote of my friend trom Delaware. The proceeding , Was, in my opinion, unfortunate—very un- fortunate—though I attribute nothing of | impropriety of intention to the gentleman, or those who acted with him. we may well refer the process by which our Government , is rapidly transforming itself into what Mr, Jerrerson called a Monocracy.

SPEECH OF MR. BADGER, OF N. C., ON TILE Bill Offered by Mr, Clayton in the Senate as a Compromise of the Question of Sla- very in the Territories :—Delivered wn the Senate of the U. S., July 26, 1848. Mr. Banerr said: I am very sorry that my honorable friend who reported this bill, (Mr. Clayton.) felt himself compelled, by considerations of duty, under the influ- ence of which I know he always acts, here and elsewhere, to press the measure through the Senate, and to prevent, so far as depended on his action and influence, a full, ample, and thorough investigation of the subject in all its bearings. What is the character of the measure? It is a proposal to settle a most difficult and anx- iously considered subject, upon a plan entirely novel—one heretofore proposed by no one, and, so far as is known, thought ot by noone. It is ameasure of immense importance, relating, as it does, to a sub- ject in itself of vast concern and compli- cated by many incidental difficulties.— Now, it does seem to me, that when the gentlemen composing the committee, af- ter the various diversities of opinion a- mong themselves, which were stated by my friend from Delaware, (Mr. Clayton.) at last hit upon and concluded to present, as a compromise, a measure before un- known and unconjectured, it was due to the importance of the occasion—the high, solemn, and lasting interest at stake—and, in an eminent degree, due to this body. itself, that, instead of being introduced to Mr. Ciayroy. that the gentleman does not recollect that when the Senator from Maryland, (Mr. Johnson.) who was exhausted and unwell, , desired the Senate to adjourn, I, in oppo- sition to the wishes of the friends of the bill, expressed a desire that the motion ‘might succeed, and gave it my support. That the gentleinan call “ hot haste.” Mr. Bancer. Unfortunately, the gen- tleman confounds two different cases. 1 know that the gentleman assented to the motion to adjourn last evening, for the ac- commodation of my friend from Maryland; but how was it when my friend from Ken- tucky, (Mr. Underwood,) who was suppos- ed to be opposed to the bill, desired an ad- journment for Ais accommodation ? It was to this case that I referred. Allow me, sir, to add what I was about to say when ‘interrupted by the honorable gentleman, us with a significant notification that it, was to be pressed through in hot haste— Mr. Crayroy, (in his seat.) Nothing of the kind. Mr. Bavcer. I will show there was, though perhaps it was not intended. I was about to say, when interrupted by the Se- nator, that in these cireumstances, instead of such an announcement being made to the Senate, we should have been inform- ed that the committee, unable to agree p upon any thing else, and acting from the | best motives, had thought proper to pre- sent anew and unheard of plan of pacifica- tionon this momentous question; that they | | ‘sand eight hundred and forty-eight, a. desired no haste; that, on the contrary, they invoked from every member of the Senate the fullest scrutiny ; that they not only wished and hoped, but demanded, as due to themselves, the Senate, and the f'ande that I regard his course as peculiarly un- fortunate with regard to such a bill as this. The great end and object of the bill, as avowed by the gentleman and the com- mittee, is to pacify the public mind, to set- tle this agitating subject, and to restore harmony to the country. How? Only by its moral power. You cannot change the opinion, or settle the discontents of free America, by the mere force of law. On occasions of this kind, it is all impor- tant that the moral influence which ac- It is very extraordinary | month,* and delivered, as stated on its face, on the first day of June. reference is made in the passage which | have read, to some remarks submitted by me in the Senate upon the second day of the same month of June. My first impression was, that the gentleman was incorrect in his chronology ; but before committing my- self on this point, I thought I would follow the example commended to us by the Se- nator from Mississippi, (Mr. Foote,) sev- eral times this session, and have a peep at the dictionary to astertain what this word “chronology” means. I found that ] was mistaken in my first notion, for the defi- nition of “ chronology” is satisfied by ar- ranging events according to the proper | year ; and, therefore, the gentleman was guilty of no violation of chronology when he represented himself as referring on the first of June to what was said on the se- “no such inference. may be satisfactorily explained, without companies a measure, should be as exten- | sive as possible in its operation; and therefore, | think, there should have been shown no disposition to cut off any gentle. | man from a discussion of the question, by pressing a vote here until the physical en- ergies of the Senate should be broken down, and the members be compelled by exhaustion to submit. This is the long session, and the Senate have refused to fix any day for its termination ; and, there- fore, there is no excuse, in my judgment, for the course which has been pursued.— The session, it is true, has been a very long one; and the weather is very hot and exhausting. I am as anxious as any gentleman to return to my home and my children, but I see no reason why this great and important measure should be hurried through the Senate. If, indeed, the Sen- ate had passed the resolution from the flouse, and the House had adopted its a- mendment fixing the final day of adjourn- ment for the 3lst, we should have stood in avery different condition. In that case, I should myself have given a silent vote, or should, at most, have made a very brief statement of the ground upon which I have formed an opinion adverse to the assage of the bill. But, under present circumstances, with an unlimited session before us. I feel justified in presenting my views fully and at large. I shall under- take to show that this compromise mea- sure, which my honorable friend has re- orted and recommends, involves a total and absolute surrender, on the part of the South, of whatever rights, feelings, or in- terest we may have in the subject, with- cond, both days being in the same year. Some persons, on reading this reference in the speech to my remarks, and finding, from the proceedings and debates of the Senate, that I had not said one word on the subject until after the speech was -made, might suppose that a slight inaccu- racy had crept in, and that those remarks were not made at all in the House of Re- presentatives on the first of June, which refer, as a past event, to a speech of mine, made on the second of June ; but were in- seried for the first time in the printed speech in the month of July. But I draw The whole matter any such uncharitable supposition. In ancient times, when the prophetic spirit descended upon a man, the seer, “rapt into future time,” often saw events with such force and distinctness, that, in pro- phetic strain, he spoke of them as past al- ready. Again: This is the age of pro- gress. In the olden time, it was said that “coming events cast their shadows before;” and now, in the mighty improvements of the day. amidst the wonders of steam and electricity, it may well be, that “ coming words cast their sounds before !” And thus it happened that my colleague of the House, in the dark hour of midnight, had his spirit troubled with a vision so clear of the atrocity which I should commit on the second of June, that it became im- pressed upon his mind as a past event, and, as such, he alluded to it on the first. And then, his patriotic horror, in this clear foresight or forehcaring of my offence. im- pelled him to make a pious appeal to hea- ven in these words, immediately following those which I have quoted : ‘“ Gracious heaven! are we reduced to this? Is our only, our last hope, the verdict ef a jury whose interest, whose feelings, and whose of- ganization fix that verdict against us ? And a little after, still referring to me, he exclaims— « And do southern statesmen sound the first note of retreat? Does the flag fall first in their hands 2?” Now, as | intend to advance again that atrocious sentiment which, delivered by me on the second day of June, awakened the prophetic horror of my colleage of the House on the first, and as his speech, no doubt with the kindest feelings towards me, was printed and circulated extensive- ly in the State of North Carolina, the Se- nate will see why I have made this refer- ence, and that it is demanded of me, as a matter of respect and grateful considera- tion to him, that I should state the grounds on which my opinion rests ; an opinion, by the expression of which | have, accord- ing to his phrase, “ sounded the first note of retreat” from a position which I have never assumed, and thrown down a flag which I never raised. In order to a full understanding of my views, it is necessary that I should go back alittle inthe argument, and show that out any advantage being gained thereby | ‘to us, or to the country. Mr. President, on the first day of June, in this present year of salvation, one thou- speech was delivered by an honorable member of the the other House, repre- senting a district in my own State, which | ablished in this city, ! of Hon, A. W. Ve-' find in,a pamphlet ntitled, “ Speec 4 this Government bas a right to acquire territory, and whence that right is deriv- ed. Upon this point different opinions have been expressed.

In my opinion, the power to acquire territory 1s expressly con- ferred upon the Government of the Uni- * After this speech was made I was informed by Mr. Venasce that | was mistaken in supposing his speech to have been first circulated in July; that it was, in fact, circulated in June ; and I add this correction in justice as well to him as to inyeelf. sident, by and with the advice and con- | Sent of the Senate, has power to make treaties. Congress has power to declare ‘war. The Constitution specifies no par- | ticular kind of treaties, as included fn or excluded from the grant.

'making powers respectively. Again, the | Constitution has not only omitted any ex- | press restriction upon the treaty-making / power, but declares that “all treaties | made, or which shall be made, under the ‘authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land.” Whatever | limitations, therefore, may from the neces- sity of the case be inferred—as for in- stance, that a treaty cannot be made to ‘destroy the Government, or the Constitu- tion, or any integral part of them, or to ‘introduce any new element of political power—it is certain that the treaty-mak- ing power is subject to no express limita- tion whatever. When the Constitution | was formed, various kinds of treaties were _known among nations; and all these were undoubtedly included in the granted pow- er. Among these were treaties of ces- sion, by which the United States might acquire as well as cede territory. The ' power is a large one, and the limitations upon it, whatever they may be, have not yet been defined or applied. The extent of this power may be judged from a few ‘instances furnished by the history and practice of the nation. First. By treaty the President and Sea- ate can exercise a power expressly con- | ferred upon Congress. For example, they ‘can regulate commerce, and confer citi- -zenship. Again, by treaty the United States can exercise a power not conferred upon the General Government at all, but undoubtedly reserved to the States. Of this examples are found in the treaties with France and the Netherlands, by which the subjects of those powers were enabled to succeed to the inheritance of lands inthe United States without becom- ing naturalized, and thereby the laws of the States excluding aliens from the suc- cession were repealed and abrogated.— Again, by treaty the United States can set up a demand for a debt which has been by due course of law paid and sat- isfied. This was done with regard to the 3ritish debts which had been rightfully confiiscated by State authority during the Revolutionary war, and the amount paid into the treasuries of the respective States. And, again, by treaty the United States may acquire authority to erect judicial | tribanals and confer judicial power with- in the territory of a foreign and indepen- dent nation. Of this we have an exam- ple in the bill now on our table—to erect such tribunals and confer such power—to be exercised in the empire of China. It seems, therefore, to follow necessarily, as well from the express grant of power as from the practice of the Government, that the President and Senate, by treaty, may acquire territory for the United States.— When that acquisition is made, by the ex- ercise of the power thus granted, the Con- stitution confers expressly upon Congress the power to legislate for the government of the territory so acquired. For it con- fers on Congress the power “to make all laws necessary and proper for carrying into execution” the “ powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.” ‘To my understanding it is therefore plain that, by the treaty-mak- ing power, we have express authority to acquire territory ; and, by the provision I have cited, Congress has express authori- ty to legislate for it when acquired. Now, sir, upon this power, what are the restric- tions, and where are they to be found !— There are plainly none in the Constitution itself. It is one thing for us to think that certain restraints upon the exercise of this power would be convenient, would at this particular time be reasonable, would subserve the interests of that section of the country in which we happen to live. or, if you please, the general interests of the whole ; and it is another and very dif- ferent thing to show an actual restriction upon the power itself. The former relates to a just and proper mode of exercising ‘authority, and addresses itself to those in whom the power is vested. The other implies an actual exclusion of the power, which leaves nothing for the exercise of discretion at all. The honorable Senator ‘from Virginia, (Mr. Hunter,) remarked that, although it seemed to him an absur- _dity to deny Congress the power to gov- ern the territory, yet that power must be exercised in subordination to some gcn- eral rule given in the Constitution. He undertook to specify one case, and cer- tainly it was a very unhappy illustration of the rule he had laid down. He remark- ed that Congress was bound to establish over a territory a republican forin of gov- ernment. Why, sir, what has been here- ‘ tofore the action of Congress? What do | we propose to do by this very bill ?

If the conclusion were ri ard it not follow, that to introduc: sinvery -as much beyond the power of Congres i as to exclude it? Mr President. the opinions I here pressed do not depend on any rea of my own, but, without referring precedcats which have been furnighed | the past history of the Governmenf,.are fully sustained by the solemn and pose» erate judgment of the Supreme the United States, in the case so offen.ge- ferred to, (American Insurance Cogpgmy us. Canter, 1 Pet.,.) both as to the source from which the right of acquisitionys de- ‘rived, and the nature and extept (j | . . : power over what is required. In d@eliy- ering the opinion of the court in that @asq, Chief Justice Marshall says: _ “The Constitution confers absolutely on Government of the Union the powers ‘of iat ing war and of inaking treaties ; that Government posseeses the power of aeqei- ring territory either by conquest or by treaty. If it be ceded by the treaty, the ceded territory becomes a part of the nation to which it is aa- nexed, either on the terms stipulated im the trea. ty of cession, or on such as its new master shall impose. Perhaps the power of governing 'a Tertitory belonging to tse United Biates, which bas not, by becoming a State, acquired the means of self-government, may regult neces- sarily from the facts that it is not within the jurisdiction of any particular State, and‘is with. in the power and jurisdiction of the Upited ‘States. he right to govern may be the iney. table consequence of the right to acquire terri tory. Whichever may be the source whence the power is derived, the possession of it is un- questioned.” Mr. Justice Johnson, in his opinion, de- livered in the same case, when in the cir- cuit court, thus expresses himself: . “ The right, therefore, of acquiring territory, is altogether incidental to the treaty.«making power, and, perhaps, to the power of admitting new States into the Union ; and the government of such acquisitions is of course left 10 the deg- “islative power of the Union, as far as that pomer is uncontroHed by treaty. By the latter we ae quire either positively or sub modo, amd by she former dispose of acquisitione so made; and de case of such acquisitions, I see nothing in which the power acquired over the ceded terrftofies can vary from the power acquired under the law of nations by any other governmemt ovér acquiréd or ceded territory.” Now, sir, here is. iff can understand it, a clear and decided opinion of the court, delivered by the eminent man who at thet time presided over its deliberations, aad who was himself the embodiment of alt judicial excellence—that, under The th ty and war powers, the United States bave, under the Constitation, the right to ag- quire territory. that they acquire it Bpon the same terms as any other nation ; an that it is subject, in their bands, to soc terms and conditions as they may deem proper to impose, subject only to such e- strictions, if any, as may be contained in the treaty of cession. Now, how do we expect, after this decision, to procure from the Supreme Court of the United States an adjudication that, independently alto- gether of legislation by Congress, the in- stant any territory becomes ours, the in- stitution of slavery exists there by the mere force of the Constitution of the Uai- ted States? Gentlemen say that every American citizen has a right to go Jato the newly acquired territory. It is need less to examine that, for no one proposes to exclude them. But it is another and differeat question, whether be bas a right to carry a slave there, and, because the slave was recognised as property in the State from which he ae insist: that, therefore, such slave shal recognized _as property in the territory to which he goes. The affirmative of the question cannot, in my opinion, be maiotai Suppose, which is not at all unlikely, that within a few years we should follow the example of Great Britain, and procure the cession of some station pr post within the dominions of the Emperor of China, in order more effectually to promote our commerce and pratect our citizens in that country, could it be maintained that,’ fb- stantly upon the cession, from the mature of our Constitution itself, negro, @lavery would spring up and become a re institution there? This would ‘scem to ‘be absurd. Yet it stands apon the same arguments, applying with equal foree, @p- on which rests the alleged ee. ropagation of slavery into these ; . Se OHCs Sir; the inquiry mast 'pre- sent itself, whether slavery was an insti- tution of the territory before, in point of fact, any slave was carricd there -by one of our citizens. If so, thenthe slave c@r- ried would be recognise d as property in ‘the territory by force of itsown ! e ES — — — a ai i ch e s ) Ye < . See : Fa and not that of ihe state from which the slave was brought. Thus, in my own State,.though, in point of fact, there were not a single slave to be found to-day, still slavery would be a recognised institunon of the State; and the man whoshould go there with his slave to-morrow, would not carry any new institution with him, bat would merely carry there a recognise’ subject of property under the existing law. Now, it seems to me, that the gentle- men whose opinions I oppose inust main- tain one of two things; either that by force of the Constitution of the United States the moment territories are acquired slave- ry becomes there a recognised institution, or else, that whether it will be an instita- tien of the territory or not depends upon ‘the fact whether or not a slave shall be carried there ; that, when carried, the law of slavery springs up, and when re- moved the law ceases. Now, sir, this latter proposition seems to me an absurdi- ty, The law which recognites slavery must exist, or not exist, independently of the conduct of individuals; and as, in my judgment, the Constitution does not of it- self establish slavery where it did not ex- ist, We must in order to ascertain its ex- istenee or non-existence after our acqui- sition, resort to the previous law. ecems to be some donbt, as | collect from the remarks of honorable Senators on this sabject, what was the state of the law in the ferritories acquired from Mexico. By some it is alleged that all slavery was absolutely prohibited; by some, that a species of slavery, called Peon servitude, | existed under certain modifications, about which gentlemen ure not agreed; but is conceded on all hands, that African sla- very, as recognised in®certain States of the Dnion, was not an institution recog- nised in these Mexican territories. Now, I hold, upon this concession, that the law in Mexico not having recognised Slavery as it exists with us, such slavery stands prohibited in Mexico until it shall be allowed by law. Nothing, I appre- hend, is clearer, than that by the acquisi- tion of a territory, whether it forms a part or the whole of the foreign nation— whether subdued by armsor ceded by trea- ty—no laws are repealed except those whieh are inconsistent with the relations whieh the subjugated people bear to their new sovereign: that such acquisition im- plies only a change of dominion and alle- giance—a transfer of legislative authori- ty and executive control; and that all Jaws, not necessari/y inconsistent there- With, remain in ful! force until the new sovereign shall modify. alter, or abolish them. On this subject Vattel thus expres- ses himsel!: The fundameptal regulation that determines the manner in which the public authority is to he executed, is what forms the Constitution of the State. In this is seen the form in which the nation acts, in quality of a body politie, how and by whom the people are to be governed, and what are the rights and duties of the Gov. esnor.” ©“ The laws are regulations establish. ed by public authority, to be observed in socie. ty.” The laws made directly with a view to thé public welfare are political laws, aud in this class those that concern the body itself, and the being of Hhe society, the form of govern. nent, the manner in which the public authori. ity is to be exerted ; those, in’ a word, which together form the Constitu/ion of the State, are | the fundamental laws. ‘Vhe civil laws are those that regulate the rights and conduct of the citizens among themselves,” Chief Justice Marshall, in delivering the opinion of the court, in the case to which I have belore referred, speaking of the effect produced by the cession of ter- ritory says: “On such transfer of territory it has never | been held that the relations of the inhabitants with each other undergo any change. ‘heir relations with their former suvereign are dis- solved, and new relations are created between them and the government which has acquired their territory. The same act which transfers ‘the allegiance of those who remain in it, and the law which may be determined political is necessarily changed ; although that which reg. | ulates the intercourse and general conduct of individuals remains in force uniil altered by the newly created power of the State.” And again, in the same opinion, he says: “It has been already stated that all the laws which were iy force in Florida, while a pro. | vince of Spain, those excepted which were po- litical in their character, which concerned the relations between the people and their sovereign remained in force until altered by the Govern. ment of the United States. Congress recog. niees this principle by using the words ‘laws of the territory now in force therein.” Now, it is here manifest, that of the laws of a ceded territory, none are abro- gated by the cession except those which are called political, and that those only are ealled political which concern the re- lations between the people and their sov- | ereign ; that these are * necessarily chan- ged, because inconsistent with the new re- lations between the territory and its new sovereign; that the necessity of the case alone produces any change ; and that all other laws, whether described as the mu- _micipal laws, the civil laws, or the laws regulating “ the rights and conduct of the citizens among themselves,” remain in force until altered by the new sovereign. Now, sir, it is agreed by all the writers on national law, by all judges who have’ treated upon this subject, that slavery . OWes its existence to positive law, to mu- nicipal law ; that independently of law authorizing it, it does not exist anywhere; from which it necessarily follows that, whether, African slavery be expressly ibited in these territories or not, it does not exist, unless by their law it be allowed, which no one pretends, ther it sha! be introduced, or its exclusion continued, depends, in my jndgment, upon | the will of Congress. There | Whe- of territory except-with a view to the for- | mation of States; bot we have just as. ‘much power to acquire territory, and _keep it in perpetual pupilage, as we have | ‘to bring it into the Union asa State. Our | right to acquire springs out of the treaty | power and the war power, and when we. ‘acquire we are to decide for ourselves ‘what shall be done with what has become | ours, by cession or by conquest.

We should have a right to, keep it as a territory—a province—and ‘regulate it as we please. And if we deem- ‘ed it best for the interest of the United States, we might rightfully so keep it, even to use an extravagant phrase, “ to ‘the last syllable of recorded time.” The, ‘constitutional restrictions were intended to protect us against our own Govern- ment; they were intended to regulate us» among ourselves, to defisc and distribute the powers which exis: Uetween the Un- ited States and the several States, and to secure to the States and to the people "powers not granted to the United States. | There is not an article which looks to the. ‘restraint of power, except as it is to be) | exercised over us ; not an article designed | 'to shorten our hands or diminish the ag- ) _gregate of our power in acting external-— ly upon foreign territory. Theretore, I: ‘hold that, among, those subjects falling within the constitutional power of Con- gress, is the entire regulation of such ter- _ritory as we may acquire, to make such ‘laws for it as we may think best, and to give it a political organization of such) kind, and with such restraints and limita- ‘tions, as we may prescribe. Within this power is included the introduction or ex: clusion of slavery, according to our own judgment, entirely independent and irre- “spective of the wishes of the people of the ‘territory, or any body else. My friend from Ohio, (Mr. Corwin.) in his speech yesterday, stated that I was the only gene ‘tleman sustaining the same relation to the — subject, upon this floor, who entertained ! this opinion. Since that remark was made, my friend from Kentucky, (Mr. Un- derwood.) has expressed the same opinion, _and I hazard nothing in saying that the ‘honorable Senator from Missouri, (Mr. Benton,) new in my eye, than whom no man is more capable of forming a sound judgment, holds the same opinion with- /out qualification. If I do him injustice, [hope he will say so. The opinion is by | ‘no means novel. Why, sir, when the bill admitting Missouri passed the House, it contained an express provision, as a fundamental condition on which that State was to be admitted, that slavery | ~shonld be excluded. When the bill came _into the Senate that provision was strick- | en out, and the Missouri compromise, ex- | cluding slavery from the territory north and west, was agreed to; and, so far were southern members from having discover- ed, at that time, that Congress had no power over the subject. the amendment was adopted apparently without a divi- sion, at all events, without the yeas and “nays; no southern member appearing to “have thought it necessary or important to record his vote. Nor was this an instance of hasty and inconsiderte action. Among the Southern Senators present on that oc- casion was the late William Pinckney. It would be idle for me to say here, or -anywhere inthe United States, who Wil- liam Pinckney was, or to what respect his opinions are entitled. Ina letter writ- ten to his son-in-law, and preserved in his life by Mr. Wheaton, he said: “The bill for the admission of Missouri into the Union (without restrictions as to slavery) may be considered as passed. ‘Phat bill was sent back again this morning from the House, with the restrictions as to slavery. The Sen. /ate voted to amend it by striding ont the res. friction, (27 to 15.) and proposed as another amendment, which Ihave all along been the advocate of, a restriction upon the vacan terri- tory to the noth and west as to slavery,” | (To be concluded next week.) PROGRESS OF DORRISM IN OHIO. The Locofocos, in Convention in Cin- ‘cinnati (Ohio) on Saturday week, deter- -mined in favor of the Dorr revolution— \to disregard the apportionment law of last winter. They nominated a Senator and five Representatives for the county at large, wholly disregarding the two rep- resentative districts, and neither of the candidates resides in the first district. ' The plan of the revolutionizers, as publish- ed, is to elect as many Locofoco members _as they can, and for the members elected to break up the Legislature by refusing to take their seats, and leaving the Hous- /es without a quorum. To carry this plan into operation, they rely upon the ‘Town. ship Trustees to receive and count the Votes, and the Clerk of the Court of Com. /mon Pleas to give them the proper cer- _tificates. the law and their oaths of oftice to the contrary notwithstanding. Many of the Trustees have already decalred that they will follow the law and their oaths, and reject every vote for represen- tative with more than three names upon it: and we misapprelend the moral hon- esty of the Clerk if he, also. is not found in the discharge of the duty imposed up- on him by the law and his oath, instead of following the orders of this body of dis- organizers.— Cincinnati Gazette Tue Inriuence or Mr. Critrenven’s Pre- sexce.—-The Frankfort Commonwealth SAYS: * Prior to the late election, Mr. Critten- If nothing be done den was able to visit thirty-six of the one by Congress it remains excluded, and their hundred counties of the State.

The Wilmot Proviso--Standard, It is reported among the people, by de- | noeratiq lenders, that the Oregon Bill, which contained the Wilmot Proviso, and which President Potx approved, did not violate the principles of the Missouri Com- promise. If the democrats will not be- lieve the record of Congress, nor any state- ment on the subject, eminating from the Whig Press, we suppose they will take the Ruleigh Standard as good authority. The editor of the Standard, in his pa- per of the 23d inst. says: Congress adjourned on the 14thinst. After a long and bitter contest on the question of slavery, the Oregon Bill, with the Wilmot Pro. viso included, and the Missouri Compromise stricken out, was adopted and bas become a law.

Bat there is a very strong party reason for the course of Mr. Pouk, which will be deemed of more consequence to PoLk, and especially to Cass, than southern rights or southern honor—and this is the catching of northern votes for the Presidency.— This is in accordance with the conduct of. democratic leaders, who sacrifice every principle, violate constitutional law, and minister to all political licentiousness, solely for the purpose of party triumph and the acquisition of political power. * We should not have fought the battle of southern rights over this bill.” says our “indomitable friend Mr. Holden. Oh, no — never mention it’—never think of southern rights tl after the clection. Such matters as political consistency, honor, in- tegrity, are of no © practical importance” at the present time—all must yield to elec- tioneering purposes. And now the people are taught to be- lieve that the friends of General Cass may perpetrate all sorts of political fraud, even | to the abandonment of every principle for which the South ever contended ; and af- ter they have elected him, will be the ve- ry models of political perfection ; patriots of the first water. pie will trust them—they find them in the slough of corruption, and there they will leave them. We must remark further, at the risk of making this articl2 too long. In the very paper in which Mr. Holden sanctions Mr. Polk’s approval of the Wil- mot Proviso, without the Missouri Com. promise, he falsely accuses Mr. Fillmore | of being a Wilmot Proviso man, and for | this he scandalizes him—and in regard to the very doctrines of the Oregon bill, which | makes no attempt to deprive us of our slaves, he says as follows: Do we thank any man for assuring us that: he will not burn our houses, nor cut our throats 7 Is this all that Southern Whigs can show in Fillmore’s favor?

Has Great Britain declared war against the United States because four Americans were ar- been concerned in the Irish rebellion ?

Gen. Taycor is not a man to be caught in such a trap, his life and acts prove him one of the purest men living. Such contempti- ble tales are worthy of the source from whence they sprang and worthy of the party engaged in circulating them against a war-worn soldier. Let gotten, that lies as base as these are, were published throughout the length and breadth of the land against Henry Cray, whom, these Locofoco slanderers, now hypocritically profess to hold in such high reverence, during the last Presidential contest.

What you request us to join in _ asking is, what are the General’s views as to the justice of the Mexican war, the mode of its prosecution, &c. Peace having been con- cluded with Mexico, we think the question of the justice of the war rests entirely between the Executive of the United States, who com. menced it, and the people who are to pass upon | the acts of his administration. , longs to past events—and we should no sooner ask what Gen. Taylor thought in the abstract | upon its justice, than inquire what his opinions were as to the conquests of Alexander, the dis. memberment of Poland, or the forcible acqui- sitions of the British inthe East Indies, or any other matters of historical fact. As tothe pros- ecution of the war the same remark applies. It is now a part of the histery of the country, | and the Cass and Butler Clu! must surely have heard of the part Gen. ‘Paylor performed, of _the brilliant victories of Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Monterey and Buena Vista, which covered our country with such a flood of glory. Then we are asked to Join you in requesting | Gen. ‘Taylor’s opinions upon the Wilmot Pro. 'viso. You do not say in what respect you de- sire information on this subject, whether as to the constitutionality of such a provision in a law relating to territories, or as to its expedi- ency. As to the first, the constitutionalily of the law, we presume you cannot now be very anxious about General Taylor’s opinion, since your leading Southern Senators in Congress, Houston, Benton, and the President, the head _of your party, have upon their oaths declared such a proviso constitutional—the former by voting for, and the latter by approving the bill for the government of the Oregon Territory, in _which the Wilmot proviso was expressly and | deliberately inserted. As to the expediency of the proviso in relation to California and New Taylor will do every thing in his power to pro- tect the rights and interests of the South. We have thus respectfully, as we trust, an- swered your communication, perhaps more at length than we thought necessary, but our an- swer is drawn so as tu prevent any misappre- hension of our motives for declining your re- quest. We would, with great respect; suggest that this, the second communication from your Club to ours, should be the last. We can perceive no good to arise to either party from the repe- tition of such communications. We think we can conduct our canvass without any aid from you, and we certainly have no disposition to in- terefere with your appropriate functions. Very respectfully, L remain Your obedient servant, GEO. W. HAYWOOD, Pres’t Rough and Ready Club. To D. K. McRae, Esa. We will inform the Locofocos in gen- eral, that we do not suspect Gen. Taytor as not being orthodox on these questions. , It is enough for reasonable men to know that he lives in Louisiana—that he is not like Cass in this respeet, for and against the Wilmot Proviso as “circumstances” require. He never prayed for the aboli- tion of slavery : his own mind is undergo- ing no change on the subject. Suppose Mr. Standard, the General had been addressed on these questions and his views co-incided with yours, would you and the democracy have voted for him? , Would you have hauled down the Cass | Standard and run up in its stead that of ‘old Rough and Ready ? | Major General Gaines has issued a Gen- know that Southern men pretend to have | eral Order, upon assuming the command | if Millard Fillmore will give his casting | doubts as to his opinions; and how un- | of the Eastern Division of the Army, and | | tenders to the troops returned from Mex- | ico his cordial congratulations.

As to the Cabarrus Company, who conduct has been most praise worthy, anil | who have come out of the service wit great credit to themselves, they are enj, _tled to our highest respect, even though they were every one opposed to the champig of the Whig party. But it is needless « say, by way of acknowledging our plea.

One other question we would pat to the . Jeffersonian, and it is this: : All those volunteers you “ conversed ! with,” “ heard from,” and these aboy whom you “were informed,” excepting Bw the “ eight or ten Curiosities,” were they all CASS men? — The scrap headed “the triumph sure’ and which is alluded to by the Jeffersonian in the last number of that paper. was er. tracted from the “ Battery,” and should have beensocredited. It was an acciden ER tal omission.

Nothing seemed more certain than that it would have yielé- ed more than the above amount, but we learn it only produced 95} bushels.

Nous verrons.— Pet. Int. 4 GEN. TAYLOR IN PENNSYLVANIA. The Philadelphia Inquirer of Saturday brings Bus the fullowing cheering news : “ We have hitherto refrained from specula- tions as to the result of the Presidential elec- tion in Pennsylvania. We have no desire to deceive our friends by false hopes, or advance opinions unauthorized by facts. An insight into a correspondence with all parts of the State, and the reports of persons of good judgment, who speak from personal observation, guaran- tee the belief of the reasonable and the un. prejudiced that the Taytor ano Firemore TICKET WILL OBTAIN THE ELECTORAL VOTE OF THIS STATE BY A LARGE MAJORITY. Since the nomination of Van Buren, the as- et of things has changed in Pennsylvania, While that nomination will command 15,000 Locofoco votes, it cannot obtain more than one thousand Whig fice soil votes. Had Judge McLean been nominated at Buffalo, some 5,- 000 Whig votes might have been cast for him on the Slavery question ; but Whigs cannot vote for a candidate, who is the real author of the calamities springing out of the Jackson ad- ministration, and who has hitherto borne the appellation of a “* Northern man with Sovran. ERN PRINCIPLES,” from his Anti-Protection Anti-Improvement and Pro-Slavery views. In addition to the losses of the Loco Fucos, from the nomination of Van Buren, we must also take into the account the very large sup- port that Gen. ‘Taylor will receive from their rank and file. There is hardly a Rough and Ready Club in the State that has not Demo- erats enrolled among its members. No strong party prejudices are to be overcome in support. ing Gen. Taylor, while his liberality of char- acter conciliates all in his behalf. Immediate- ly after the Gubernatorial nomination, the can. vasa will begin, and be actively prosecuted.— The issue will be the most honorable and glo. rious which has ever crowned Whig efforts in Pennsylvania. Woo Sianpmrs Gey. Taytor ?—An Ohio | volunteer charged Gen. Taylor with blas- ' pbemy. It subsequently turned out that | Gen. T.’s accuser had been rebuked in | Mexico by Old Zack for robbing a hen- | roost, and indicted in Columbus for steal. | ing a hog ! Another man makes charges against | General Taylor in the Louisville Demo- crat. He boasts that he served at Buena Vista, was a Whig when he entered the service but now goes for Gen. Cass. One of his comrades, in the Louisville Journal denies that the man was ever a Whig. aad accounts for his hostility to Gen. Tay- lor thus: “When we were about to attach the enemy at the battle of Buena Vista, and every other man was at bis post. eager, and ready for the contest, this T. M. was trying to hide under the hill side and to keep from the engagement and one of the officers of our company had to draw his sword upon him before he would show any smyptomsof fighting. Such coward ly men as these we do not want for Gen. Taylor.” IOWA ELECTION FOR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. Our letters and papers from Towa ad- mit the election of Shepherd LetHer as Member of Congress from the Second district, but at the same time positively assert that Daniel F. Miller (Whig) is elec- ted from the First district. There was, it seems, some doubt whether the district of country in which the Mormons are loca- ted would be organized so as to allow” their vote to be given. The Locofocos were afraid that the Mormons might take it into their heads to vote the Whig ticket, and this made them cautious about the matter; but it appears from the Des Moines Valley Whig that the Mormons did vote at two precincts in Monroe coun- ty, to which the territory was attached for election purposes ; that Locofocos Su- rintended this arrangement; and that Monroe county, although returned as giv- ing a majority of 23 votes for Thompson (Locofoco) for Congress, actually gave Miller (Whig) a majority of 493, and eleeted hiin. (St. Louis Republican Aug. 23. Gen. Tuylor in Western Virginia. The Washington City News states that a letter bas been recently received from CABARRUS VOLUNTEERS. The 3st ultimo was set apart by the citizens of Ca- barrus, to extend a welcome to the members of Compa- ny C. Atan early hour the people from the country and visitors from a distance, began to fill the streets, all anxious to participate in, and witness the exercises of the occasion. The crowd soon increased to @ size, as ig seldom seen in our usvally quiet little village. The pro- cession being formed by the marshals, marched to Acad- emy Grove, escorted by a military band of masic, where the volunteers were waiting to be received, Col. John M. | Long, chairman of the Committee of arrangements, ad- | dressed the gallant little band of soldiers in a few but ve- “ry appropriate remarks. He referred in a happy man- ner to the patriotism to the “ young hornets,” when “ the bagles blew the blasts of war,” and concluded by extending to them the hearty welcome of their fellow citizens. The procession was then reformed and march - ed to Maj. Foard’s Hoiel, where a sumptuous dinner, served up under an immense arbor awaited their sharp- | ened appetites. About 600 did ample justice to the vi- ands, when the cloth was removed the gentlemen reas- sembled for the purpose of drinking toasts. Col. Dan’l Coleman, President of the day, ordered glasses and wa- ter to be set upon the table, when the following regular toasts were drank : 1. The Cabarrus Volunteers—The gallant sons of patriotic sires, in promptly answering the call of their country, they proved themselves worthy of their ancestry. worthy of the soil that gave them birth, and had occa- sion offered, would have proved themselves worthy com- | peers of our brave citizen soldiery. 2. The President of the United States. 3. The Governor of North Carolina. 4. The deceased officers and privates of Company C, —Though uncovered with the glory of the battle field, still they repose upon the death-bed of Fame. 5. The Constitution of the United States—The last and best bulwark of human liberty, beautiful in theory, perfect in practice. 6. North Curolina—Varied and beautiful in her re- | rources, strong in her integrity, rich in the virtue and in- telligence of her poople, may the public spirit now begin- ning to animate her sons, soon place her in the elevated position to whith she is justly entitled. 7. The memory of George Washington. &. The N. C. Regiment—Its courage and discipline, gave it a high standing in the American Army. 9. The Army and Nary of the U. S.—The admira- tion of friends, a terror to enemies. 10. The University and other Seminaries of Learning in North Carolina. ll. The United States—Glorious in the history of the past, unrivalled in the chronicles of the present, may the annals of the future never close upon the end of ker great- ness. 12. The World—May the world become one family of Republics, as our Republic is a family of States, and may strength, goodness and wisdom, be the father, mo- ther and teacher of the household. 13. Woman—Tbhe essence of our existence, her sooth- ing influence is ever felt in the hour of adversity. VOLUNTEER TOASTS. By Col. D. Coleman—The,citizen soldiers of the Uni- ted States—Always ready and always able to defend their councry’s rights. By Capt. Hf. A.

Then will the “harp of Fara’s Halls” which has long lain mute, again awaken and vibrate with the strains of liberty ; and then will the dying groans of Irish victims as they lie on the battle grounds prove the re- quiem of British power. By L. A. Melchor—Cabarrus—When our country was surrounded by danger, the county of Cabarrus was will ” of not reproached with the sentiment that “ she knew her | duty and did it not.” By Capt. H. A.

Various and very conflicting rumors are afloat as to the existence and extent of the ' potato disease. It is admitted that the disease has made its appearance this yeas, but it is not believed that the plant bas been injured to any ‘ serious extent. ‘The general reluctance of the speculators to operate to any extent has caused the corn market throughout England, Ireland and Scotland to fluctuate during the week.

FRANCE. The chief consideration in Paris at the pre- ‘sent moment is the critical state of Northern Italy. j taken place in Paris, and Lord Palmerston, in ‘the House of Commons, has stated that her Numerous diplomatic meetings have Majesty’s Government are deeply sensible of |the great importance of seeing a termination put to that unfortunate warfare, and added, * I -am able, although I have no right to speak for | another Government, yet [ believe I may assure the House that that desire is equally shared by | the French Government. * fler Majesty’s Ministers are therefore about | [ may say, if not already engaged, to take steps in conjunction, [trust in conjunction with the Government of France, for the purpose of ea- deavoring by amicable negotiation tu bring that wartare to an end.” ‘Lhe last Journals from Paris are entirely oc- | eupied with the Italian question, aud the funds have experienced a decline in consequence of its threatening aspect. ‘Two thousand of the insurgents of June, sentenced to transportation, have been sent to Brest,-L’Orient, &c., where they were to be confined until the Government should have fixed their destination, It is pro- bable that their families will be allowed to them. An unsuccessful attempt was made on the 5th inst., to assassinale M. Thiers. The shot intended for him was received by a little girl, who was seated at the gate opposite the dwelling of M. Vhiers. A decree bas been published removing the suspension pronounced 'on the 27th June against twelve of the more ‘radical journals. Lard, both in this and the London market, is taken to a considerable extent, and firmer pri- ces are maintained, The sugar market has been rather active, and a good demand for home consumption has prevailed. Merchants manifest firmness, and prices are inclined to advance. Advices from the manulucturing districts are rather dull ; but tur most descriptions of goods, both cotton and woollen, prices are supported. PRUSSIA. The Prussian capital still continues to be the scene of political cabal and excitement. The peopie are for the moment occupied with the renewal of the war with the Danes. ‘The ex. act position Which Prussia is to take in the newly concocted German scheme of govern- ment is not yet ascertained, The latest news from Vienna reports that the Emperor of Austria had resigned, but no credit | Was attached to it. The whole range of Eastern Europe seems more or Jess afflicted with the cholera, and four cases have appeared at Berlin, all of which terminated fatally. LOMBARDY. Recent events ia Lombardy have been rapid, decisive, and most unexpected. A fortnight ago Charles Albert was a successful conqueror, al- most all Lombardy was within his grasp—now the whole breadth of Lombardy has been re- traced by the Piedmontese army, and Charles Albert utterly defeated at every point, is either shut up in Milan, or perhaps has crossed the Ticono into his own dominions. Voluntecrs in Non-Slavcholding States furnished 22,136 volunteers in the late war with Mexico, while the Southern or Slaveholding States, with a population less by one half, than the Northern States, furnished double the number of volun- teers! And yet, the South, by whose blood and treasure, the conquest was Northern and Southern mainly achieved, is to be excluded from all participation in the benefits of the newly acquired territory ! When the peo- ple of the South consent to be thus degra- ded, they will have lost the spirit of their Revolutionary sires. —S. C. Tem. Adv. Gen.

Mr. Polk, too, gave pledges, and how has he redeemed them ? We must look to other sources than to his pledges for evidence in the case. The first which offers, is that of his position who desire the ea- Mr. Cass is a Nor- thern man, and has never, until very recently ' professed to be “a Northern man with South. He has on one occasion at least, in his pamphlet on the Freedom of the | seas, expressed his abhorrence of slavery as an institution. —T’hose among whom he was born, among whom he was raised and among whom | he resided, entertain such sentiments, in the proportion of the hundred to one. It is hardly probable that he should not be influenced in his feelings, by the undivided opinions of those among whom ke bas always resided. Of the effect which those opinions actually had on him, he gave evidence, in bis continued desire to vote for the Wilmot Proviso, until about nine or ten months ego, when he gave way under the influence of strong temptation. Now which is the most probable ? that he should be of the ‘opinion which he beld up to his sixty fifth year, and which is the general opinion of all his as- sociates and friends in the countries where he has resided all his life, or that he should be of another suddenly made up, upon the spur of the occasion, when he knew that his expressing it might cause him to be nominated for the Pre- sidency, and that the expression of a contrary one would defeat such a nomination ? ‘The second reason which we have for sus- pecting, nay, being sure, that upon occasion, Mr. Cass would do precisely as Mr. Polk has done, is, that the Senators and Representatives from his own State, those who are best entitled to know his sentiments, and who are. his ardent supporters, are avowed Wilmot proviso men, and voted fur the Oregon bill with that feature engrafted upon it. Surely, upon a matter so important, if they suspected any difference of opinion, they would not yield him their support ; because, if they did, they wou!d compromise themselves with their constituents ; for, In the third place, the Legislature of Michi- gan was very lately in favor of the Wilmot pro- viso, and actually instructed their Senators to vote for it, drew up the instructions with his own hands. Of this we know nothing ; but we do know that they were passed, (we believe unanimously,) | General Cass, it has been said, and we know further, that they could not have succeeded, had not a majority of the people of the State been in favor of them. The last argument, and we regard it as a clincher, is, that the Washington Union, the avowed leader of the Cass press, has come out openly in favor of Mr. Polk’s course. _can be no such thing as mistaking this sign.— The editor knows that Mr. P’s reign is nearly at an end, and that he can expect nothing more from him. Cass is his only chance, and he would nof dare to express his preference for a course which he There He knows, on the contrary, that was not sure he would approve. It would at _once deprive him of his position of Grand Or- ganist of the President, and if we know the man, he will take good care not to place that in jeopardy.

When the Missouri discussion took place, there were many persons who denied the con. stitudional right of Congress to prohibit slavery There that Congress had that power. ‘The line of 36° 30’ was finally adopted, not as a cunstitu- tional line, for strangely enough the extreme of both parties contend that it violated the Consti- tution, but as a compromise, for the sake of peace. The Democrats of the South have al- ways professed to belong to that extreme which declared that the Constitution allowed any citi- - zen to carry his property, slaves or of any oth- er description inte any of the territories belong. | ing to the United States. They have profess- ed also, to be satisfied with the compromise, be- cause it secured peace, and prevented the Un. ion from being wrecked amid the jarring ele. ments of faction. They have always protested against the constitulionality of the compromise. Mr. Pokk, their own nominee, whom they | and their platform have endorsed as the expo. | nent of their opinions, has signed the Wilmot proviso bill, not in the shape of a compromise, but absolutely and unconditionally. His expla. nations and protests are nothing ; he has recog. nised the constitutionality of the provisions of that resolution, and it may be just as well ap. pied south of 36° 30’ as north. If it had come up in the shape of a compromise it might have been different ; but as we have already said it is absolute. It surrenders the Southern views of the question entirely. Oh! rare and unshaken Democracy ! a terrible dilemma are you involved! In what CONSPIRACY TO DEFEAT AN ELEC.— TION BY THE PEOPLE. The following letter from Washington, which we find in the New York Herald, goes to con- firm the suspicion that the Cass and Van Buren men are combining for the purpose of carrying the election to the House of Representatives. That’s their only chance for defeating Old Zack’s election by the people. We ask attention to the letter: —Rich. Whig. “Phe nomination of Mr. Van Buren by the Buffilo convention has excited no attention whatever. By (he way, there have been letters received in this city from leading barn burners, which would make the Van Buren men, par erccilence, and the Whigs swear some, shou!d | they be nade public. Some of the Govern. ment officers who hold the most lucrative places in the North, and who are supporting Mr. Van Buren, have lately written to gentlemen in this city, that they were supporting Van Buren to divide the Whig party, prevent ‘Taylor from | getting their State, and thus secure the election of Gen. Cass. ‘The late election news has brought out a number of such letters. Straws show which way tbe wind blows.” THE VOTE OF NEW YORK.

Eagle contains the following privete letter, written by Gen. Taytor to a friend, who had ealled his attention to some gross slanders against him in the Memphis Appeal : Baton Rotce, (La.) Aveusr 5, 1* 35. My Dear Sir: Your esteemed letter of the 27th ul- timo, enciesing a slip cut from the “ Memphis Appeal,” | was this moment received, containing statements said to have been made by me disrespectful to the volunteers ; among ethers, that I had said they were not worth their | rations, and that this can be proved ; together with many | other evidences of unkindness towards them on my part, all of which is without the slightest foundation. There | is bat little doabt in my mind that he who invents a | falsehood to injure his neighbor or fellow-citizen, as well as he who lends himself to and aids in giving circulation to the same, knowing it to be false, would not hesitate to swear to it on the Holy Bible. My numerous official reports to the War Department in rejation to the gallant and patriotic volunteers, which have been so extensively publisbed in most of the leading public journals of the | country, give the lie direct to the statements in question, and which the gentlemen of the “ Appeal” might have known, had they looked an inch beyond their noses, or wished to have made themselves acquainted with all the facts in the case, before they published so gross a slan- der in regard to one who never injured them, and whose only crime was that his name, without his agency in the | matter, has been brought before the country by a portion of his fellow-citizens for the first office in the gift of a great and free people. As to the romantic story about the wounded soldier at Buena Vista, onnexion with a Mexican lady,) which ended so cally, and who is said to have been ! shot by may orders, it ts without the slightest foundation. Nothing of the kind, or even approaching it, ever took place ; nor do I believe it was ever heard of, except at | Memphis and vicinity, before it was published in the “Appeal.” Je is ona par with the story that I had spoken disrespectfully of and otherwise outraged the vol- anteer’? ; and a more base and heartless calumny was | never propagated. Nota drop of American blood was shed by my order while in Mexico, nor that of a Mexi- ean, éxcept in the heat of battle. The whole matter contained in said slip is too silly to be credited ; nor would I have noticed it had I not deem- ed it proper to reply to your friendly communication. I must, from my position, expect to be assailed by ma- ny unscrupulous editors of newspapers, as well as hired ogues, without regard to truth, decency, or any- | thing else. | have therefore made up my mind not to miffer such things to annoy me, let them emanate from what quarter they may; bat to “ parsue the even tenor of my way,” without turning to the right or to the left to notice them. With considerations of high respect and esteem, your friend and obedient servant, Z. TAYLOR. Will the Editor of the Standard and other kindred prints publish this letter? Did they not publish the Pen- der slander, charging that Gen. Tayror had said in refer- éneé to the disturbance which occurred in the North Carolina Regiment, “that all the officers oaght to be dishovorably discharged amd the privates shot.” ‘They did. And if it is their purpose and desire during this cam- paign not to do any thing dishonorable, they are honor- bly Bound to publish this letter. Will they do an act of jastive to ome whe has never wronged them or their par- ty? We fear not ; former practice on the part of these papers, forbids any such belief. “AWAKE! ARISE! OR BE FOREVER FALLEN.” We are pleased to see that our friends in some parts of the country are beginning to understand, that the nomination of General Taycor is not equivalent to his éfection. The over-confidence of men in the strength of the General’s name at one time threatened our defeat. It seems to have indaced the belief, ttrat all the ordinary Medne and agencies for putting the requisite number of votes-into the ballot boxes might be safely omitted.— The circulation of documents, the organization of vigi- lance clubs, the efficient and harmonious action of the central committees, the oral discussion of men and mea- tives at politieal meetings of the massas—all these modes ef concentrating political action, and rendering it effi- cient, appear to have been abandoned.

The office -holders and the dependents of the Execu- tive have always been potent, not to say omnipotent, in elections, because they constitute a vast standing com- mittee, always at work, issuing their correspondence, getting up their meetings, manufacturing public opinion, flooding the country with their extra documents and campaign journals, and bringing home to the door and fireside of every citizen the specious and insidious argu- ments by which they demonstrate to the country the great importance of keeping themselves in their places, by raising their candidate to the Presidency! In every Presidential election since 1832, we have seen the man- agement, the influence, and the control of the office- holders. In 1840, the people overcame the office-hold- ers. How? By a superior organization, by superior | aetivity, by superior diligence in the circulation of effec- | tive documents, by more skill and better arguments, and | the more thorough discussion of public questions at our | mass meetings. It was through all these agencies, and rity and patriotism of General Harrison, that we won the glorious victories of 1840. Then we saw every man discussing with his neighbor the great questions of pub- lic interest and importance. Then we saw the people comiug together by tens of thousands to advise and counsel on public affairs. Then we saw the best, ablest, and wisest men of the country, for days and weeks to- | gether, traversing the length and breadth of the land, iar as household words to the voters. Whies of the Union! It was thus you conquered the allied hosts of corruption and plunder in 1840. Do. not deceive yourselves with the idea that it was the name of General Harrison that conquered for you then that you are to come off victors now. Never did men | deceive themselves by a more fatal delusion. Remem-_ ber, Wares, that ic was while the strong man slept that | the Philistines came upon him!

[{ Battery. SPEECH OF MR. BADGER, OF N. C., ON THE Bill Offered by Mr. Clayton in the Senate as a Compromise of the Question of Sla- very in the Territories :— Delivered in) the Senate of the U. S., July 26, 1848. (ConcLupeEb.) Now, here we learn that Mr. Pinckney voted for this exclusion of slavery from the territory, not reluctanly, because no- thing better could be obtained, but be- cause he had all along been an advocate of | it, and must, therefore, have thought it | both constitutional and expedient. Mr. Kine. Does the Senator intend to convey the ideathat Mr. Pinckney wasin | favor of a restriction upon a State enter- ing the Union by which slavery was to be- excluded from it? Mr. Bancer. Why, certainly not. says directly the contrary. Mr. Kinc. That he was opposed to any restriction upon the State of Missouri ? Mr. Bapcer. Let me state again what Mr. Pinckney said: That he was opposed to the restriction upon the State, but that he was in favor of the restriction upon the territory north and west of the State. Mr. Catuoun. I believe Mr. Pinckney | was an abolitionist. Mr. Bapcer. I hope that the honorable | Senator, having made a remark of that kind with reference to a distinguished gen- tleman, once a member of this body and now in his grave, will give us some proof of it. Mr. Catuoun. stated. Mr. Bavcer. The very paper which I read refutes the charge that Mr. Pinckney was an abolitionist. Mr. Catnoux. No charge was prefer- red. Tonly stated that Mr. Pinckney is known to have entertained views favora- ble to abolition. Mr. Bavcer. If he had been an ab- olitionist, he would have been in favor of excluding slavery from the State of Mis- souri. But let me add, that with regard | to the opinion of Mr. Pinckney on this — subject, it cannot be in the slightest de- | gree important whether he was an aboli- | tionist or not. If Mr. Pinckney was in favor of abolishing slavery, he must ne- vertheless have anderstood the difference | between bis wishes as to what should be | done, and the power of this Government | to do it. I must therefore infer, out of decent respect, to say nothing of a high | admiration, for the extraordinary ability | and legal acumen of that gentleman, that. he did not doubt the power of Congress | when be wrote that letter. Sir, he could | riot be excused, his moral character coutd riot be preserved, he would stand charged | in his: grave with having violated his oath, | and committed foul wrong upon the Con- | stitution of his country, if he had advoca- | ted and voted for that restriction—perma- nent, perpetual, and looking to all time— while he doubted the power of Congress He The fact is as I have all this terminate?

But the time when and the manner how, must be determined by.visé and temperate considertions of expedien- cy, lest, in a rash attempt to remove one evil, we introduce greater and mere um manageable ones in its place ait, Mr. President, I wish that our northern friends Would re-examine the ground whieh they have assumed, and allow A precept and example to have a just inl ence upon their deliberations. Webld they do so, 1 cannot but hope they woold see ground to change their position... I cannot believe, notwithstanding the stretig expressions used by some of them, that they wish to do us injury. or, notwithstaa- ding the tendency of their measures, that they wish to make harder the condition of our slaves. Slavery with us is not an institution of such unmitigated evil as to require, if it allowed of. immediate extis- pation. It existsin a mitigated form, tem pered by humanity, and modified and sof- tened by the influence of Christianity. True, there are crue] masters, as there are cruel husbands and cruel fathers ; bat is that a reason for immediately desteaye ing the authority of all masters, fatheta, and husbands? I assure our friends that humanity towards slaves is with us she rule, and inhumanity the exception ;.and we look upon the exception with as litte toleration as they do. Now, the plana which they propose of confining the slaves of the United States within the tertitesy now occupied by them has nothing to re- commend it. but is in every respect objet tionable. It does not diminish thé. nafi- ber‘of freemen-—it tends not to produce emt ancipation, except, possibly, at a. reffiote day, and then by a convulsion, the .6af- sequences of which are too horrible to. be adequately conceived. The present and continuing effect of that plan will be ei- ther to diminish or delay every impsove- ment in the condition of the slave, physi- cal and moral ; and while it may predser some loss of comfort to the master, it will assuredly bring great and positive evil to the slave. On the contrary, what we aek has every good, and, so far as I see, no .s of evil tendency. All we desire is, that you allow the present slave population, with- out any addition thereto, to spread. itself over guch territory, if any. as is particular- ly sulted to slave cultivation. By this we rob you of nothing, for such territory is not suited to the free laborer of the Nortb. By granting what we ask, you ameliorate the condition of the slave, and improve that of the master; and do injury to no class of our population. Mr. President, | beseech our northern friends to let these views have a just.in- fluence upon them. Sir, let them follow the wise example of the Apostles—baye a just diflidence of their capacity to de- vise a better mode of doing great and uj- timate good—allow slaveholders with ‘their slaves to occupy such territory as | have described—and not seek by extreme doctrines and practices to prevent this harmless and beneficial expansion. Let them permit the principles of Christianity, the influence of divine charity, to teamed ually still more diffused amongst masters and slaves, force nothing forward un- due and premature exertions. an they may rely confidently that in God's good time it will be seen—not by this genera- tion, bat by those that cote ore wes tient everything has, upon this postolic _pat- foros workel out well and produced the largest attainable amount, to both master and slave, of virtue and happiness.

It is proper, in a matter of such tran-) scendant importance as the election of a President of the United States, that every section of the Union should distinctly un- derstand what it is invoked to repose its eonfidence. Various circumstances may constitute the basis of faith and trust. The local residence of a candidate, his identity of property and interest with the people a- mong whom he resides, the integrity and stability of his character, are sufficient, without any specific pledges, to authorize an implicit reliance on his principles and his action in bis executive capacity. acillation of opinion, on the contrary, | change of views and votes, support of a, méasure one day, opposition to it the next, jaitify. the conclusion that the interests | cémmitted to the person, whose public | edurse is marked by such inconsistency, are placed in unsafe hands. Infirmity of purpose, timidity of action, disregard of | consistency, superinduced by unworthy ambition, are not the suitable and fit cha- racteristics of a President of the United States. | “You must not suffer yourselves to be’ deeeived by a name. The word * De. | mocracy” has always fascinated the ima- gihations. and almost universally govern. ed the political actions of a large portion | of the people of these United States. But | it‘is mot the word, it is the reality that constitutes its charm. I'reedom of opin- ion, equality of civil and political rights | among citizens, frugality in public expen. | diture, light taxes, whether imposed upon importations or home property, are among | the best principles of sound Democratic | Government. But, place Government in the hands of a man who merely professes this creed, whose every movement exhib- its the practical reverse of these features of American Democracy, and who sus- tains or resists measures as they may tend to elevate or depress the aspirations of his | ambition ; and the essence of the princi-_ ple, so attractive toa Republican, vanish- | es from our hopes, and is mingled and lost in the transient expediency and policy of the day. You have, fellow citizens, before you three candidates for the Presidency. Mr. | Van Buren has accepted the nomination | from a new-fangled party,calledthe * Free Soil” men, made up of Abolitionists and Wi\mot-proviso-Democrats and Whigs.— No Southern State can extend to him its support, particularly as Mr. Van Buren expressly approves and sanctions these principles. -. General Taylor, another candidate, was made so, at first, by meetings of the Peo: ple, without party discrimination. He had no aspirations for the office. He was more | astonished than any one else at the sug gestion of his nomination. He was in the tented-field, amidst the most trying events of the war, ardently devoted to his mili- tary duties, and determined, as far as the exertion of his best talents would enable him, to cover the arms of his country with success and glory, and to bring the Mexi- can War to a speedy and honorable close. Gen. Taylor was born in the South.— | He is of a race distinguished for its re-. publican principles, as well as for its bra- very and respectability. His family, his aiellie his domicil, are Bouthern. He 4s an unusual degree of common sense. ® sound judgment, a discriminating mind, | and a degree of resolution, stability, and firmness unsurpassed. He is a Republi- ean in manners, habit, sentiment. As a eitizen, no Roman was ever more remark- nble for stern integrity and patriotism.— Asa eommanding General, no Roman was ever more uniformly or gloriously successful. As aman of honor, he is no less distinguished. | Gen. Taylor, in reply to all the letters | nddressed to him concerning the Presi- | deney, bas declared that he would, if elec- ted, administer the Government according | to the etrict principles of the Constitution, | and for the benefit of the whole People of | fhe United States. He could not object to his nomination by any set of his fellow eitizens. He had accepted the nomina- tion of many primary assemblies, some Democratic, some Whig, some irrespec. tive of party, He accepted the nomina— tion made by the Philadelphia Conven— tion, “and would have accepted the nom— ination of the Baltimore Convention, had jt been tendered on the same terms,” with~ out reqairing party pledges from him. Gen, Taylor has, in all his correspon— denee, substantially, uniformly, and con— sistently said that he would not go into the Presidency trammelled with pledges. He «js not a party candidate, and, if e- lected, cannot be the President of a party. | bot the President of the whole People of | the United States.” Dues the South ask for any other than | | _of principles, sult. a frank, honest, and firm candidate, pledg- ‘ed to administer the Government accord- | ing to the strict principles of the Federal ‘Constitution? If she does not, General | Taylor cannot fail to command her confi- ‘dence. He has “a combination” and a ‘soul, indeed, | “ Where ever does seem to set his seal, To give ca assurance of a Man.” Gen. Cass is the third candidate. He 'mocracy. But it is only in name. | proceedings of the Convention were irre- | 'galar. South Carolina had no legitimate delegates in that body. A single individ- ual, assuming to represent a single dis— ‘trict in the State, was allowed by the Convention to usurp the power of casting the whole of the votes of South Carolina. The Convention excluded the delegates of the largest State in the Union, in the worst and most insulting form in which such exclusion could have been made.— The Convention violated the cardinal prin- ciple of Democracy by requiring two- thirds instead of a majority to make the nomination. The Convention laid down a platform of which Gen. Cass said, in his letter of acceptance, that he “ adhered to them as firmly as he approved them cordially.” Let us now see what this Baltimore platform is as regards the peculiar insti- tutions of the South. The following is the principal resolution there adopted touch- ing thi§ subject: * Resolved, That Congress has no power under the constitution to interfere with or con. | trol the domestic institutions of the several States, and that such States are the sole and proper judges of every thing appertaining to their own affairs not prohibited by the consti- tution; that all efforts of the abolitionists or others made to induce Congress to interfere with questions of slavery, or to take incipient steps in relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequences ; and that all such efforts have an inevitable ten- dency to diminish the happiness of the people, and endanger the stability and permanency of the Union, and ought not to be countenanced by any friend of our political institutions.” This is all well enough, so far as it goes ; but let us recur to the past, friends have hitherto pursued in relation has received the Baltimore nomination, | d is baptized as the nominee of the De- | and is bapti thee “if England wants Texas, let her haye 200 the 10th day of August, 1846, the Senate of the United States took up the Two Million Loan bill, with the Wilmot trom the other House.

On the last day of the session, (August 10, 1846,) and ‘about balf an hour before the time fixed for the ‘adjournment of Congress, the bill came up for consideration, when the Senator from Alabama (Mr. Lewis) moved to strike out the proviso. The Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Davis) took the fluor against the amendment and in favor of the proviso, and spoke until a few min- utes befure the adjournment. No vote was ‘taken upon the question, and the bill was Jost As soon. -as Mr. Davis had taken his seat General Cass | for the want of time to act upon it. / came over to this side of the Senate, and with _much earnesiness said, in the presence of Sen- ators, that he regretted much that Mr. Davis | _had by his speech prevented the vote from be- ing taken ; that he (Gen. Cass) and every De- _mocratic Senator from the free States would have voted to sustain the proviso; that Mr. Al. len would have led off, and all the rest would have followed. ry that they had been deprived of the opportu- nity of voting upon it; that it would have set- tled the question, and Gov. Davis was respon- sible for defeating that result.” This statement, so made in the Senate 'by Mr. Miller, on his responsibility as a_ Senator, remains uncontradicted to this | day.« Mr. Miller proceeds : “At the next session of Congress, on the Ist of March, 1847, the ‘Three Million bill | came befure the Senate, but without the Wil- NOt proviso in it.

What has since followed ? and passed by that body. Mr. Felch and Mr Fitzgerald, the Senators from Michi- gan, the friends of General Cass for the Presidency, VOTED AGAINST THE COMPROMISE BILL. It was sent to the House, and there un-— -ceremoniouslyylaid on the table ; the jcon- fidential friends of General Cass, the Rep- “resentative from Michigan, voting the bill to the sleep of death. ; But this is not all. A bill to organize the territorial government of Oregon, with the principlegand substance of the Wilmot Proviso in it, was passed the House, the Representative from Michigan voting for it. It wassent upto the Senate. That body struck out the objectionable restric- tion, and returned it so amended; the House refused to {concur in striking out the restriction, the Representatives from the State of Michigan voting with the | majority, and for the Wilmot or ordinance The Senate were notified of this vote of the House, and finally receded from its amendment, Mr. Felch and Mr. Fitzgerald voting again in opposition to the South on the question. | But neither is this all.

Gen. Cass, in reply tome, commenced | for the annexation of Texas, y saying that he was surprised at the extraor- | chameleon. On the first day of March, 1844, Mr. Edwin H. Lothrop, the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the State of fichigan, came down from the chair, and | introduced a resolution deprecating the annexation of Texasto the United States, as calculated to extend the area of slave- | ry, and asa violation of the true spirit of the Constitution of this Union. This resolution was referred to the Com- mittee on Federal Relations. The Hon. ‘William Norman McLeod, from the Committee on Federal Relations, on the 6th of March, 1844, reported back the resolution without amendment, and recommended its adoption. That gentleman, who resides at the Falls of St. Marie, foot of Lake Superior, -in Michigan, states that after the commit- ment of this resolution to his charge he waited upon Gen. Cass with it, and that the General expressed his approbation of it in substance. On the 9th of March, 1844, the resolu- tion passed the House by a vote of 32 to 15. In a letter from C. K. Green, Esq., a highly respectable gentleman, now of the city of Detroit, dated at Niles, October 13, 1844, he makes the following statement to the Hon. J. M. Howard: ‘“ Nites, October 13, 1844. “Dear Str: [have to say, in answer to your letter dated the 9th of October, that while in the city of Detroit, about the middle of April last, 1 was inthe habit of meeting and conversing with Gen. Cass daily. ‘The subject of politics was introduced by Gen. Cass, and he would comment freely upon political men and measures. Upon one occasion I had a conversation with Gen. Cass, on the plank walk in front of Col. Howard’s house, the subject of which was the ‘Tyler ‘Texas Treaty,’ upon which he made very severe comments. He said he was opposed to the annexation of Texas upon any Terms ; that we already had more terri- tory than we knew what to do with, and the more territory we possessed the greater would be the difficulty of preserving the Union; that if we annexed more territory to please the South, we should be forced into a war with | England to annex Canada, to please the North. It was intimated to Gen. Cass that England might secure ‘l'exas as a colony; to which he replied: ‘My God! if England wan's Teras let her have it; we von’r. Itis better for us (0 have a civilized than a barbarian nation fora neighbor.’ * Yours respectfully, C.K. GREEN.” The truth of this statement has sever been publicly denied by Gen. Cass, and it is believed that he has never privately denied it. . The Baltimore Convention was then a- bout to meet for the nomination of Presi- dent. Mr. Hannegan, a member of the Senate from Indiana, was tviendly to the nomination of Gen. Cass. He addressed a letter to him shortly after the conversa. tion with Mr. Green, above described, re- questing his views on the annexation of Texas to the Union. Gen. Cass replied, but in a manner not entirely satisfactory to his friends at Washington, He was _Tequested to be more explicit, and the fa- mous Fraser Magazine letter was the re- In that precious production he re-| versed his willingness to let England have Texas, and went as far as the farthest in favorof annexing her to the United States. _ Indeed, he treated the danger from Eng- | lish influence and interference as of more consequenee, and more dangerous, than | any one could have expected after read- | ing his declaration to Mr. Green, that, | ! i a1 dinary course of the Senator from New Jersey, in calling him to an account for bis opinions, but said he was prepared for it, and then took from the drawer of hisdesk a manuscript speech memoranda, which he read tothe Senate. He did not deny the statement made by me; but said, in substance, that he had not changed his opinions expressed the session before upon the subject of the proviso, but that that was not the occasion nor the bill in which to apply the pro- viso; that the object of the bill then before the Senate was to enable the President to conclude a treaty of peace with Mexico; that he did not wish to do any thing which might delay peace ; that it would be of no use to attach the proviso to this bill, but that the question should be re- served until we acquired the territory. It was a question of time with him. ‘This was not the lime nor the occasion. He also spoke of the resolutions of instructions from Michigan, which he had presented during the session, and to | which I had referred him, and said that he had examined them, together with the resolutions | from other non-slaveholding States, and that all these resolutions looked to some permament provision or fundamental law; he did not think they were intended to apply to the bill then un- der consideration.” This, be it remembered, was the first day of March, 1847, when General Cass thus expressed himself as still in favor of the principle of the Wilmot Proviso. Ten days before that day, General Cass wrote the following letter to his correspondent at Ann Arbor, in Michigan, dated at | W asHincron, Fepruary 19, 1847 | My Dear Siri Your friend Doyle will be | selected as a lieutenant, and | am glad we can | give you this proof ofa desire to pay respect lo your recommendation. I am pressed to death by business, or I would write you a longer letter. However, the news- papers give you a full account of our strange proceedings. We have not done much good ; but they say it is darkest just before daylight, and If am inclined to think that our darkest hour has passed. It seems to me that good is coming out of mischief. than I have seen heretofore. It is now distinct- ly understood, and it will be the Democratic sentiment throughout the country, that every thing must give way to a vigorous prosecution of the war, and that no measures must be pro- posed that will embarrass the Administration. The Wilmot Proviso will not pass the Sen- ate. It would be death to the war—death to all hopes of getting an acre of territory—death to the Aministration, and death to the Demo. cratic party. It was so intended. It no doubt origivated with proper feelings ; but things have now come to such a pass that its adoption will produce these effects. It is distinctly avowed by the Southern members of Congress that they would not vote for any measures for the prose- _cution of the war, nor would they ratify any treaty, if this provision becomesa law. It will probably go back from the Senate to the House, where I hope the appropriation will pass with- out any proviso. [ am, with great respect, truly yours, R. S. Wilson, LEW. CASS. No objection is made to the principle of the proviso. The opposition is put on party grounds. How far the imputation on the patriotism of the Southern mem- ers is true, they may best tell. This letter appears in an extra “True Democrat,” issued by Mr Wilson himself, at Ann Arbor, Michigan, on the 25th of August, 1848. On the 24th of December, 1847. Gener- al Cass addressed a letter to the Hon. Mr. Nicholson, of Nashville, distinctly repudi- ating the Wilmot Proviso. The following iS @ passage in that letter ; There is a more de. | termined spirit to support the Administration | no authority is granted to prevent the introduction of slavery into any part of it. He complains that a provision in the Three Million loan bill of 1847, declaring it “as an express _fundamental condition to the acquisition _of new territory from the republic of Mex- ico by the United States, by virtue of any treaty which may be negotiated between them, that neither slavery nor involunta- _ty servitude shall ever exist in any part | of said territory,” was stricken out by the Senate, and that the House concurred in the vote to strike it out. He maintains that Congress have full power to legislate for the Territories in all cases, slavery or, others ; and that he “ should prove recreant _to the memories of the past and the hopes of the future, if he should fail to insist up- on the application of the prohibition of sla- very to the new territories acquired from Mexico. | Mr. Stuart,"of Michigan, in his speech on the civil and diplomatic appropriation bill. on the 21st of July, said “he was in favor of the Wilmot proviso,” and yet for General Cass, whose latest profession, in the Nicholson letter, was against it! The whole delegation from Michigan 'in both houses of Congress, the fast friends of General Cass for the Presidency, are to this moment for the Wilmot proviso. His immediate supporters at home, the men who surround him, his chosen asso- ciates—-Mr. George Lothrop. Attorney General of the State, Mr. Henry N. Wal- ker ex-Attorney General, Mr. George E. Hand, who was one of the committee to obtain signatures to a remonstrance, in 1844, against the annexation of Texas—- are now warm advocates of the Wilmot proviso, and equally warm in favor of Gen. Cass as the next President ! The foregoing facts are specially pre- sented to the Southern States, without more comment. They are incontestably true, and founded on public records of let- ters, votes, and debates. They are worthy of consideration in every other part of the Union. They show the variableness and versatility of principles and views of a politician pre- sented to the people of the United States asa candidate for their Chief Magistrate. It the historical delineation satisfies the South or the North that he will make a firm and consistent President either the one or the other or both, will vote for him. A Man of integrity, with broad and comprehensive AMERICAN PRINCIPLES, no /matter where his political habitation, is the candidate for whom the patriotic cit- izens of all parties, in every quarter of the Union, can cast their suffrages, with an abiding confidence that the ConatiruTion, the Union, the uiserry, the prosrerity, and CHARACTER Of the Nation will never be im- paired or sullied by his administration. WASHINGTON. New Mexico.—The Santa Fe Republican of the 16th July, having just received the message of Governor Wood, of Texas, in which he sets up a paper claim to the best portion of New Mexico, ridicules the pretension with great se. verity. It says Texas might as well have le. -gislated a claim to Louisiana as to any portion of New Meyico; that if Texan authorities at. tempt to govern that country they will find them. selves awfully taken jn ; and that New Mexico , bas a population competent to elect their own of. i ficers and make their own laws, and never will | consent to this unexpected and unjust claim.— | Nat.

A correspondent of the Raleigh Register, in order to ' arouse the Whigs of the State to the importance of the approaching Presidential Election, proposes that five or six grand Masa Meetings be held simultaneously on the 4th day of October next, at Morganton, Greensborough, Raleigh, Wadesborough, Weldon, and Newbern. We | like the suggestion, and hope that the Whigs of this re- gion will act upon it. A meeting in our humble opinion, should be held at Statesville, as Morganton is most too far away. What say the Whigs of Old Iredell? Wake up and shake off the coldness which binds you down ; let the cohorts of Executive corruption feel your stength. Shall the vote of North Carolina be given to the ene- mies of your rights on account of supineness in our ranks? Let not such be case, Whigs of Western No. Carolina. The State is largely Whig, and all that is necessary, is that every vote should be polled. When we reflect for a moment how the country has been dis- honored by the recklessness of Polk democracy, it be- hooves every man to be at his post—to come out fiom the retiracy of private life for a season and help expel the men from high places who have been the cause of “ “ “ “ this stain upon our national character—who have ren the Country in debt—and arrayed one section against the other on the subject of Negro- slavery, by adding worthless territury to the Union. ‘These are subjects worthy of the grave consideration of the good people. In their adjustment depends the perpetuity, the safety, and the happiness of the Country. Into whose hands then, shal! the settlement of these important questions be given? If Cass should unfortunately be elected, we have no reason to expect an equitable adjustment, but | on the contrary, he is pledged by the iniserable batch of resolutions adopted by the Convention which nominated him, and by his own speeches and declarations in the Senate of the United States, to add more fuel to the flame by new wars of conquest. So that it is alone in the election of that stern old Patriot, General ZACHA- | RY TAYLOR, that the people of the South and of the Union, can have any hope that the interest of every sec- tion of the Country will be impartially looked after.— Feeling an irrepressible desire for the preservation of the glorious inheritance handed down to us by the fathers of the Republic, we appeal to the people of North Caroli- na to come forward to a man and help to preserve un- impaired the principles which animated and cheered our ancestors in their struggles for liberty. Let the meetings proposed above be held, and let the enthusiasm of the year 1840, take hold upon every pure Whig, and a complete and glorious victory awaits us— a victory which will tell for ages to come, and establish Whig principles upon a foundation not easily undermin- ed. . MR. CALHOUN’S POSITION. We observe that there seems to be sume dif. ficulty in deciding how Mr. Calhoun stands up. on the Presidential question ; and although he made a speech at Charleston, on his return from Washington, it was so put together, that the public was as much in the dark as to his whereabouts as before. There has been for the last week, quite an interesting discussion kept up in the Charleston Courier by sev- eral correspondents on this subject. One con- tends that his language was susceptible of be- ing construed in favor of Gen. Tay tor, the Southern man Ly birth, education and feeling, and gives as proof the fullowing remark made by Mr. Calhoun in his speech : “remember that the man who is farthest from you in politics at the South, is nearer to you than any man of ei- ther party at the North.” What is meant by this sentence, if correctly reported, we are not infurmed by those who de- ny that the South Carolina Senator is for ‘Tay. lor; but one thing is undeniable, it is true fe the letter. Gen. Taylor, though he may be far from many of the People of the South on poli. tics, is emphatically nearer to them on the Vital question of slavery, than Lewis Cass.— Another writer in reply, argues that he is for Cass, and that he said nothing which could be construed otherwise. We do not think it high. ly important to know how he stands on this question ; but since Mr. Calhoun has taken es. pecial pains to convince the people of the South, that he is and always has been her champion on the question of slavery, it ought to be dis. tinctly known. Does he go fur Gen. Taylor, the fast friend of our institutions, and of hones. ty and reform in the administration of our na. tional affairs, or does he support Cass, an ene. my to the South, and an upholder of the abuses and corruption which exist under the dynasty ? an | | (7 The Raleigh Standard denies that the.

Wedenounce this conduct as base and fraudulent and unbe- coming highminded and honorable men. Now that justice may be done, let us see where Mr. Cass dues stand. Instead of Gen.

S a whole nation has spoken enthusiastically of the unrivalled excellence of Dr. Le Royse Vegetutte Universal Pills, it may seem useless to publish individo- al certificates ; still we feel induced to yield to custom, by admitting the following ; the more willingly, astbey ema- nate from persons who are not likely to be misled, by the popular excitement which the appearance of those Pille has occasioned. From the Medical Times, Sept. 18, 1845. Opposed as we are to modern patent medicines, we cannot be silent to the virtues of Dr. Le Roy's much laud- ed discovery. His Pills are indeed a purgative which may be taken without risk, or the advice of a physician ; for they produce evacuation without weakness, and cause energy in the digestive functions, withoat straining them, and thus paving the way for re-action and apathy. From the Lancet, August 23, 1845. Dr. Le Roy has most happily succeeded in combining Wild Cherry and Sarseparilla with other vegetable ingre- dients, so as to produce a medicine at once tonic, and pargative, the only perfect discovery of the kind ever made, though a desideratam which the eblest physicians in all ages bave eagerly sought for. From the Journal of Pharmacy, July 1, 1846. As far as we have had titne to judge, both by hearsay and experience, Dr. Charles Le Roy has made « most valuable discovery, and added a pargative to the list of medicines which inost take the precedence of all others, as being the safes! and most effective.

At midnight bour ”. The traveller hears it roaring dy, A form of terror and of power, | That walks the earth and licks the sky, | The wild deer on his grassy bed, Wakes from his dream of breaking day, Listens and [ifts his antler’d head, ‘Snafis the bot blast, and bounds away. Yet, when spring comes, a flowery belt Acroge the prairie’s bosom thrown, Seys that where’er that flame was fe!!, I left behind a jewelled zone. Bat there’s a fire, along whoge track, Spring never scatters flowers in bloom, But all is desolate, and black As midnight in a hopeless tomb. Alike opon the low and high | Falls this “ strange fire ;” it feeds and preys On Beanty’s cbeek, in Wisdom’s eye, And melts down manhood in its blaze. And youth, and age—its power is soch— Blossom and fruit alike, are burned ; And every virtue, by its touch, Is shriveled and to ashes turned. Quench, mighty God! by thine own power, By love and truth, with spring and well, Witb stream and cistern, flood and shower, In mercy quench this fire of hell! mee RT POLK AND VAN BUREN—BOTH FREE SOIL MEN.

The New York Tribune has become rather more notorious Jately in the hum- jsahogether® desir , for HERP 11 BEFORE. THE PEOPLE! That MILLARD FILLMORE has distioct- ly’DISA VOW BD the slightest wich or desire to intesfere with the question of Slavery in the United States. We do not but it is to be hoped that recent events will induce something like an examina- tion of rumors, before they_are set forth The Irish Stievenamon Banboozle had hardly died away, when the good people | of Albany were thrown into a state of lately issued. “Gen. Taylor has | written accepting the nomination for Pre- | ' sident by the citizens of Charleston, S. C.., | which nominated Butler for Vice Presi- | dent, and then repudiates all pledges.” This despatch was intended to ereate | ‘the impression that General Taylor had _repudiated Mr. Fillmore, and for a time succeeded completely. It produced atre- | mendous sensation among the Whigs of Albany, as it was very well calculated to a Whig meeting at the Cap night; and though when the day-boat ar- rived, the true nature of General Taylor’s was discovered that he said no more than ment, the meeting took place. Previous to the meetjng, and during it, statements were industriously circulated, in order to. keep the agitation alive, as if deri ved from telegraphic despatches, to the effect, that the | thousands d the abolition of Slavery in the Dis- triet of Columbia—on the ground of expe- diency ih thousands of them had met in the Park and were at that moment ; engaged in denouncing and repudiating —but he is not opposed to it now. | General Taylor, for his supposed repudia- | “In regard to Mr. Polk’s Wilmot Proviso- | tion of Mr. Fillmore. Among other events ism, or Free Soil opinions, Mr. Yan Bu- | ren says :— “Fo bring the matter nearer to ourown | times, within a few days, upon the very heel of the recent discussion upon this: point a bill containing this restriction— | the very bill which has, in part, produced this discussion—has passed both branch- es of the National Legislature, and recei- ved the constitutional approval of the pre- | sent Executive—-an approval which it, was his sworn duty to withhold, if he had | not been satisfied that all the provisions | af the bill were in conformity to the Con- | stitation.—The present President, also a | slaveholder. elected froin a slaveholding | State, with a large portion of his cabinet in the same situation, has given the high- est sanction to the doctrine we contend for that is known to our institutions; and although he felt himself called upon to make an extra message, setting forth his reasons for believing that the restriction ought not to be applied to our Mexican Territories, he does not take the slightest notice of the constitutional ohjection on which so many Southern States had ba- sed their opposition to the general mea- sare. This branch of the subject has ee thus, and we hope forever, disposed of. After this we hope to hear no more of Northern Democrats being the “ peculiar friends” of the South, or of the Demacrat- io party being, par excellence, the only party in whose hands Southern interests gap be trusted with safety. With a Dem. ocratic Ex-President from the North and a Demoeratic President from the South, both of whom agree in their opinions up- op a subject of vital importance to the South, and whose opinions are in direct ation to Southern feeling and inter- est :—with a Democratic eandidate for the Presidency whose position is at least ee on this question :—while, on the othgs side, we have a Southerner a Slave- holder, (and what better security does the Soyth wapt thao this? a candidate who drew his fisst breath in a slavehalding | State, and wha is perfectly sound in re- | Can Sau. | rd to Southern iastitutions ! hern men hesitate in choosing between the two candidates placed before them? Will North Carolinians hesitate in their choice between Zachary Taylor (bern in Old Virginia,) and Gen. Oass, (born near- | ly 1000 miles North.) who perhaps never saw but one or two Southern States, in his whole life 7—Between a man who se- joices that he is no slaveholder; who say that he never has been, and wever will be: who deprecates its existence, and prays for its ABOLITION :—can Nerth Carolinians, we say, hesitate in choosing between such a man and Gen. Taylor, who, Cass’s Free Soit friends say, is the owner of hundreds of slaves ? We want our people, Whigs and Dem- eerais, to ponder these things wel. We “want them to see the miserable attempts of the Lecofocos to blind their better judg- ment ; the bow and pitiful efforts ta heap slander apon the character of an honest and worthy old man, and by this means to prevent inquiry into the character of their own candidate. By abusing Taylor they withdraw attention from Cass, and they thus hope to palm him off upon Sou. thern people as a better Southerner than aay one born and raised amongst us. Fay. Observer. @9r The Hoo. John P. Hale has written a letter to the Boston advocates of “ Free Soil” withdrawing his name as a candidate for the Presidency, and recommending to them a “hearty, energetic, and uaaniinous, support of Mastin Van Buren and Charles F. Adams, as vis most consistent course for the enlightened | friends,of bumaa liberty to pursue.” Mr. Hale, in Will be reapembered, was the nominee of the Abaslitiopisis proper, He bas given way to the, Aholitiouists improper, who have taken the wind) out, of,'the. saila of their more gogsgieatious, brethren.— Nat. Int, eagerly seized on, it was spid that James | Brooks, Esq. editor of the New York Ex- | press. had renounced the support of Gen- eral Taylor, and denounced him with the utmost bitterness. The meeting proceed- ed entirely on the assumption that the re- course expressed the strongest dissatisfac- tion at the allpged conduct of Gen. Tay- ‘lor in aceentivg the nominatign of Gen. | Butler on this tieket. It adjourned until Monday evening, when the following pro- | ceedings were reported to the National Intelligencer by telegraph from Baltimore : Aupany, Augyst 29. The Whig meeting last evening result- ed in restoring harmony among the sup- porters of Gen. Taylor. The excitement about the Charleston letter was partial, and proceeded, as it turned out, from er- | roneaus views, on erreneous information. | At the adjourned meeting last evening, |a resolution was adopted referring the _Charleston letter to the consideration of the State Convention, which is ta meet | soon for the purpose of nominating a Tay- | lor and Fillmore electoral! ticket. er resolutioa was adopted pledging the | support of the meeting te the electoral ticket which shall be nominated by that Convention. Mr. T. Butler King, of Georgia, hap- | pened to be in the city, was invited to ad- dress the meeting, which he did in a most | able manner, and with the mast salutary result. Ee repudiated the idea that the | Southern States would not support Mr. Fillmore, as they do General Taylor, and | showed that the Charleston meeting and | its proceedings were matters apart from the regular organization for the support | (of Gen. Taylor. | So this mighty affair has, after all, turn- ed : . | storm in a tea-cup—a partial movement in a city numbering about furty thousand of three million—founded upon false in- telligence—participated in neither hy the Whigs of the great city of New York, nor of any ather portion of that immense | State. This is really the smallest and most ridiculous affair, to create the exul- , tation which was apparent on Monday, in the faces of allthe Democrats of the city, and on Fuesday in the columns of the En- quirer, that we could have possibly con- ceived. | AH sorts of ramors will, of course, be ‘in eireulation from now until November. | Let Whigs shut their ears once for all to them. MASSACHUSETTS, The Buffato nomination, uniting in one ticket the names of Van Buren and Ad- ams, was made with the express view of | Sweeping every thing before it in the Old Bay State. It has fallen stillborn. Not _a Whig, who deserves the name, as far ; @8 we cap see, has changed his allegi- ance. ‘Fhe party cannot but regard as unholy, any combination which results in placing upon the same ticket the name of Martin Van Buren, and the son of Jobn Quincy Adams. The Old Bay State, al- _ways loyal will vote as cheerfully for Faytor, as it did for Adams. Speaking of the prospects of the Whig candidate there, | the Bakimore American uses the follow- ing language :—Rich. Whig. | “ Fhe nominations made at Buffalo can- | not have much effect upon the Whigs of _ Massachusetts. for they already begin to: | see the folly of voting for one locofoco in | preference to another. call for the Worcester Convention, save _B.

Deak’ Srr—My opinions have so often been miscon- ceived awd misrepresented, that I deem it due to myself, if Not tf my friends, to make a brief exposition of them upot the topics to which you have called my attention. I have consented to the ase of my name asa candi- date for the Presidency. I have frankly avowed my dis- trast of my fitness for this high station ; but having, at thé Solicitation of many of my coantrymen, taken ny position as a candidate, I do not feel at liberty to sur- render that posttion until my friends manifest a wish that I should retire from it. I wit! then most gladly do so. | } have no private purposes to accomplish, no party pro- jects to build up, no enemies to pumish—nothing to serve but my conntry. I have been very often addressed by letter, and my opinions have been asked upon almost every question shat might eccor to the writers, as affecting the interests of their country or their party. I have not always re- sponded to these inquiries for various reascns. i: confess, while I have great cardinal principles which will regulate my political life, 1 am not sufficiently fa- miliar with all the minute details of political legislation, | 1@ give solemn pledges to carry out this or defeat that | measure. I hold no concealment. I hold no opinions | whieh I would not readily proclaim to my assembled | countrymen ; but crude impressions upon matters of po- | liey, which may be right to-day and wrong to-morrow, | are perhaps not the best tests of fitness for office. One | who eannot be trusted without pledges, cannot be confi- ded in merely on account of them. I will proceed, however, now to respond to your in- | quiries ; Firet—TI reiterate what I have so often said. Whig. If elected [ would not be the mere President of | a party. I would endeavor to act independent of party domination. I should feel bound to administer the go- vernment untrammelled by any party schemes. Second—The Veto power. The poser ziven by the onstitution to the Executive to interpose is veto, isa high conservative power; but in my opinion should ne- | yer be exercised except in cases of clear violation of the Constitation, or manifest haste and want of considera- tion by: Congress. Indeed I have thought that for ma- ny years past, the known opinions and wishes of the Ex- ecutive have exercised an undue and injurious influence upon the Legislative Department of the Government ; and for this canse [ have thought our system was in dan- ger of undergoing a great change trom its theory. The personal opinions of the individual who has happened to decapy the Executive Chair, ought not to control the ac- | tion of Congress upon questions of domestic policy ; nor daght his objections to be interposed where questions of , econstiiutional power have been settled by the various | Departments of Government, and acquiesced in by the people. Third—Upon the subject of the Tariff, the Currency, the improvement of our great highways, rivers, lakes, and | harbors, the will of the people as expressed through their representatives in Congress, ought to be respected and carried out by the Executive. Fourth—The Mexican War. I sincerely rejoice at | the prospect of peace. My life has been devoted to } arms, yet I look upon war at all times and under all cir- | cumstances, as a national calamity to be avoided if com- patible with the national honor. The principles of our | Government, as well as its true policy, are opposed to the sabjugation of other nations and the dismemberment of other countries by conquest. In the language of the great Washington, “ Why should we quit our own to stand on foreign ground!” Inthe Mexican war our na- tienal honor has been vindicated ; and in dictating terms of peace, we inay well afford to be forbearing and mag- nanimous to a fallen foe These are my opinions on the subjects referred to by you, and any reports or publications, written or verbal, frem any source, differing in any essential particular froin what is here written, are unauthorized and untrue. I do not know that I shall again write upon the sub- ject of national politics. I shall engage in no schemes, no combinations, no intrigues. If the American people have not confidence in me, they ought not to give me their suffrages. If they do not, you know me well emough to believe me, when | declare I shall be content.

Below we give the Circular of the Ex- ecutive Whig Committee of both Houses of Congress, together with that of the Locofoco Committee, which has been spread, we are informed, all over this sec- tion of the country, and would recom- mend the advice given to every one. The suggestions which it contains are worthy of consideration. The Locofocos have gone to work in dead earnest, pressing in- | to their service office-holders of every de- partment. If the Whigs desire saccess , they must go to work too, as they did eight years ago. It ought to be a suffi. cient stimulus to the Whigs to know that their opponents are at work night and day—and that if documents containing falsehoods of the basest kind, can do any good they will accomplish it, for the whole country is literally flooded.

But it. must be recollected that he had at Buena. Vista a noble band of officers to carry out his plans, who, by their untiring energy, and heroic daring enabled him to bear on- ward the stars and the stripes to a glori-_ ous vietory. Just such officers are need- |, ed on the present oceasion, not to subserve | the ambition of General Taylor, (who, | with manifest hesitation and reluctance | consents to be a candidate for the Presi- | dency.) but to resist the trained bands of patronage, place, and power—men who are thoroughly versed in all the chicanery | of politics, and who will stoop to almost any means to defeat the universal favor- ite of the people. Hence organization is | | indispensable to ensure a full and fair de- ' velopment of public opinion, and how can | this be effected unless those who are ac- customed to take an active part in such matters shall lend us a prompt and ener. | getic co-operation. The necessity of vi- | gilance and activity in this regard, must. _be apparent, from the fact that one of the | gentlemen who our opponents have put at | the head of their organization, is the se- | cond Assistant Postmaster General, who. has charge of the appointment office, at | whose will (subject, of course, to the su-. pervision of the Postmaster General) ev-. ery Postmaster in the United States holds | his office, and at whose beck the vast ar- | ray of that Department can be made to | the vigor of our efforts and the harmony | part of the country. Should the Whigs _bear down, with great force, on the cause of the people, whose every interest will | be promoted by the elevation of General | Taylor to the Presidency. But we have | this consolation, that “ General Taylor ne- ver surrenders,” and we have but to stand by him with firmness, and we shall be certain of a victory which will strike the cohorts of radicalism with dismay, and cheer and animate the hearts of all true lovers of their country. With a view, then. to secure an assertion of the great principle which lies at the foundation of all free institutions, that the will of the people, properly ascertained, and fully and fairly expossd, should govern, and in or- der to secure to our beloved country all the blessings of a just, wise, and patriotic administration of public affairs. we earn- estly invite attention to the following re- /commendation: 1. Let Rough and Ready Clubs be form. ed immediately within the delivery of ev- ery Post Office of the United States. The Club at the seat of Government of every | State should be denominated the Central | | Club, to which returns should be made of ‘all the Clubs of the same State, with a list of officers and members, and of addi- tions as they shall be made from time to time. 2. Immediately on the formation of any Club, forward to this Committee, to the address of the Hon. Truman Smith, the names of the officers and members, and of additions as they shall occur, written in a legible hand, and designating the Post Office, to the end that we may sup- ply them with documents so far as may be in our power. We invite our friends throughout the country to furnish us names for the purpose here indicated. 3. It should be the duty of each Club | to effect, within its proper limits. a tho- rough organization of the friends of Tay- | lor and Fillmore, to confirm the doubtful and win over by “irrefragable facts and arguments” all who sincerely desire the true welfare of the country, and who are disposed to do right, when properly in- formed as to the path of duty. 4. They should be particular in attend- | ing to the circulation of * the documents,” ‘sketches of the life, character, and public WHIG EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE TWO HOUSES OF CONGRESS. Wasuixcroy, August 6th, 1848. Sins The undersigned, members of the hig Executive Committee of the two Houses of Congress, respectfully invite your attention to the subjoined circulars— the first, dated on the 24th of June, and the other, on the 13th of July last, which the opponents of Taylor and Fillmore are, , doubtless, now distributing all over the Union. The circular of the 24th of June is signed by the Hon. H. S. Foote, a Sen- ator of the United States from the State | ef Mississippi, Hon. Edmund Burke, Com. | Missioner of the Patent Otlice, and W. J. Brown, Esq., 2nd Assistant Postmaster | General. In these signatures, the friends of old Rough and Ready throughout the | country, may recognize the fact that the) existing Administration, in all the various departments of the Government have en- tered, actually, into the present political campaign, and relying on an immense ar- Yay Of subservient officials, they hope to. bear down all opposition, and to defeat | every hope indulged by the people of ab- | taining relief from the many evils which | how embarrass the country. In further. | ance of these ends, they profess to feel all the confidence in the success of their ef.

It must bc admitted that the foes | services of General Taylor. good speeches on important topics, and well written es- says and tracts should pass rapidly trom hand to hand, and thus one publication | 'can be made to answer the purpose of many. 5. They should keep a sharp look-out for the Postmasters, some of whom may intercept the light intended for the people, so far as they can with impunity. Inquire for your neighbors at the respective Post Offices, and take care that matter which is furnished at great expense and labor is not converted into waste paper. If any Postmaster is guilty of an abuse, instant- ly inform this Committee, to the end that the proper representations may be made to the Postmaster General. 6. Let them not underrate the impor- ' tance of the elections, whether State or municipal, which shall intervene between this and November, as every result ad- verse to the wishes of our friends will be heralded as evidence of the weakness of General Taylor, and as boding the ulti- mate defeat of the Republican cause. 7. Counteract the thousand-and-one ru- mors that will be put in circulation by false and unscrupulous men, casting im- putations on our worthy and truly excel- lent candidates, or in some form importing disadvantage to our cause. | 8. Too much pains-cannot be taken to explain to our friends the character and Consequences of the efforts now making, | both at the North and South, to foment sectional jealousies and antipathies. At’ the South, the friends of Gen. Taylor in the free States are incessantly held up as fanatics, who are disposed to trample down all the guaranties and compromises of the Constitution; while at the North his Southern supporters are stigmatized as bitterly hostile to the interests of the free States, and are all the while plotting for some sectional advantage, whereas Whigs everywhere occupy the platform of utter opposition to that spirit of radi- calism which has so long predominated in | our public counsels, and which, for the last twenty years, has produced nothing but evil to the country. It is believed that | good men everywhere must deprecate an organization of parties in this country on mere sectional grounds. which must great- ly embarrass the working of our system, and sustain the principles and policy of as well organized, active, vigilant, and energetic. Our: friends should at once /make a thorough organization in every State, county; and district in the Union. It should be so complete and perfect as to reach every individual member of the party. | This being done, measures should at | once be taken to supply all voters with | documents, containing\important informa- | tion upon subjects which will be involved in the present canvass. Valuable com- | pilations will be made, setting forth the | true issues of the contest, and others will, ' from time to time, be prepared as the can- vass progresses, to refute the misrepre- sentations and sophistries of our opponents, | _THE MARCH TO THE RIO GRANDE. the Democratic party. if it does net endanger our glorious Union. Let us then, reposing, as we safely may, | entire confidence in the moderation, the | prudence, and the sense of justice, which | have ever characterized the conduct of. General Zachary Taylor, as an amply | guaranty that he will deal fairly, honestly, | and impartially with all sections of the | Union, unite and overthrow the factious. men who involved us so recklessly in the | recent war with Mexico—a war which. has cost us many thousands of precious’ lives, and many millions of the hard earn- | ings of the American people. Nowisthe. hour of retribution !! Recollect, that if a | foreign country has been acquired, and a | strange people brought under our juris- | diction, the deed has been done contrary to the efforts and remonstrances of Whigs everywhere. We have stood side by side | in resisting all of the mischievous schemes. of this Administration, and let us now, by | of our counsels, hold them to that respon. | sibility which they richly merit, and polit- | ical evil-doers ever dread. When the hour of final trial shall come, | we will be prepared. Take the proper. measures to ensure a full attendance at. the polls. Be vigilant and untiring in ef. | forts to counteract the arts of the desper- , ate and unprincipled. We have a good | cause, a noble leader, sound hearts, and | strong arms, and _ besides the sympathies | and the affections of the masses. The Government is now obviously offered to us if we will accept it. Let us then try again the experiment so happily com- | menced under the auspices of the lament- | ed Harrison, and which was cut short by the perfidy of a Tyler, and let us see what | an administration, based on sound repub- lican principles, and fashioned after the | example of the earlier Presidents, will do | for the happiness and prosperity of the American People. In conclusion, we will remind you that Mr. Senator Foote, Mr. Commissioner , Burke, and Mr. 2d Assistant Postmaster- | General Brown, call for pecuniary assist- ance to enable them to prosecute their en- terprize. “ Money is with them the sin- ews of war,” and a horde of subservient office-holders and political dependents, | will doubtless be made to bleed freely in| thatregard. Whether our position should be forfeited by the liberality of our friends, we shall leave it to their sense of justice to decide. Gen. Taylor has many times conquered with very inadequate means ; we believe he will do so now by the good will of a great People, though this Com- mittee be left to straggle unaided, to sub- sist, and as his soldiers often have done, on short rations.

Tay'or, in English and /German ; also, speeches and other politi- cal matter, can be obtained of this Com- mittee after the following rates: Publications of 32 pages, at $1 30 pr. 100. ny os 16 65 “ 8 32} TRUMAN SMITH, T.

COMING RIGHT! We trust that our venerable neighbor who presides over the Executive organ (says the National Itelligencer) will take no exceptions to our echoing one of the well-remembered exclamations, (now ad- opted by our Albany contemporary.) as being better fitted than any other that we can think of to convey to our readers our ‘own impresssion of the present aspect of the political horizon. In the Empire State, where clouds but lately obscured the prospect, light has of a sudden burst forth from darkness, and spread all around its cheering rays. The _casual excitement in the city of Albany a few days ago has brought out the Whig sentiment, roused the Whigs themselves from their late apparent torpor, and inspi- | red them with a new sense of the duty | which they owe to the country. to them- | selves, and to the Whig party. From other quarters of the country we. ‘have information equally cheering. All _ that has be t \ is coming right, and the unanimous yoice , Rio Grande. bat he cautiously and wisely said, if you / mite no other that is reasonable. | though this is enough to’clear Gen. Tay- 1845, contains stronger evidence in his fa- en wrong among true Whigs | the Whigs of Abany will have the more. effect and after grave deliberation. | The remarks apply in our mind with | more iinmediate forceto the late utter- | ance of the sober judgment of the inteli- | gent and consistent Whigs of the city of | Albany, in their public proceeding on Men- | day last ; but they apply with hardly less directness to recent manifestations by the | Whigs in the city of Boston and other | populous towns and neigborhoods. { { } | | | We understand Mr. Meade to assert in | his speech before the Democratic Asso- | ciation on Wednesday night, that the or- | der to march the army from Corpus.Chris- ti to the Rio Grande, in the spring of 1846, | was given by the Adminstration in con- | forimity. with Gen. Taylor’s own advice | upon that point! A very great effort has | | been made and still making, by Mr. Polk's | friends to lay upon Gen, Taylor’s shoald- | ers the whole burden of blame which the | Whigs attach to the Administration on ac- count of the Mexican war, originating, as they believe it did, chiefly from that move- ment of the army.—The records of the country, which are the most reliable and | legitimate authorities to determine a ques- | tion of this kind, indispytably and wholly. acquit Gen. Taylor of this charge, which has been so repeatedly and strenuously. made against him. A more flimsy and, preposterous charge was never elabora- ted. The only particle of evidence which | the Democrats can adduce in support of | it, is Gen. Taylor’s letter to the War De- | partment, of the 4th October, 1845—and the passsage in that letter which is relied upon is the following : “IF OUR GOVERNMENT,” (mark | these all important words!) “IN SET- TLING THE QUESTION OF BOUN. | DARY., makes the RIO GRANDE an UL- TIMATUM, I cannot doubt that the set- | tlement will be greatly facilitated and has- | two suitable points on or quite near that river.” Now, there is nothing in this sentence which can be properly construed into ab- solute advice from Gen. Taylor to the See- retary of War, to order a march to the That glorious old Chief on- ly tells the Secretary that if the Govern- ment’s object is to make the Rio Grande the boundary, then he does not doubt, &c. Is there not a condition preceding the ex- | pression of his opinion, in which the | strength of the opinion entirely lies? He did not say to the Administration, “I re- commend a march to the Rio Grande”— intend to do a certain thing, 1 do not doubt | that your intention will be much more | easily carried out by this movement of the | army.—We are now prepared to make the movement should it be your pleasure te order it. This is the fair interpretation to be put upon the portion of General Tay- lor’s letter which we have quoted; it ad- But, al- lor’s skirts of all inculpation like that which has been so industriously sought to be fastened upon him by the Democrats, yet the same letter of the 4th October, | vor—for he afterwards distinctly says in. that letter: “ Ido not feel myself at liberty, under my instructions, particularly those | of July 8, to make a FORWARD MOVE. | MENT to the RIO GRANDE, WITH.- | -OUT AUTHORITY FROM THE WAR | DEPARTMENT.” Let the people read | and judge forthemselves. But this ig not | all, Mr. Meade said, if we mistake not, | that the Administration followed the ad- | vice, and thereupon he built up an appa- | rently very pretty argument to show the ‘remarkable inconsistency of the Whigs, for denouncing the Administration for do- | ing what Gen. Taylor advised, and, at the same time, supporting Gen. Taylor. There is no small difference between Mr. Meade ‘and the Richmond Enquirer upon this point, for that journal, on the 28th Aug- ust, said (strangely enough, considering that he is laboring to convict Gen, Taylor of having advised the movement to the Rio Grande, and of being, therefore, res- ponsible for its consequences.) that “ the Government DID NOT FOLLOW OUT THE 8UG- | cesTion oF Gen. Tayvor, until they had re- ceived THREE MONTHS AFTER- WARDS, in January, 1846, official infor- mation of the REJECTION of MR. SLI- DELL, AND THE RUPTURE OF ALL EFFORTS AT NEGOTIATION!” Even, then, admitting, for argument sake, that Gen. Taylor did advise the march to the Rio Grande. in his letter of the 4th Octo- ber, 1846, yet his advice, according to the Enquirer, was not followed until a new cause of war was found in the rejection of the American Minister by the Mexican Government. This insult given, three montbs after the date of Gen. Taylor's let- ter, was, by the Enquirer's version, the provocation which determined the Gov- ernment to order the march to the Rio Grande—and, therefore, according to eve- ry rule of fair construction Gen. Taylor's udvice, if ithad been actually given, as, stated, had nothing to do with the matter. | Pet. Tat. | | | Harrison W.

For such Democrats as we have at this day, it appears that Mr. Jeffernom could find no name but moxocrat ; a term of if self expressing the “ one man power.” .A de. finition more entirely accordant with the doc. trines of those who now go under the name of Democrats, could not have been made, and one would almost be tempted to think that Jefleggon was a prophet. But the truth is, that be did nothing more than describe what he saw. The, monocrat, as he draws his portrait, was the Federalist of that day ; he ig the Democrat of the present. We invite earnest attention to the extract : From the Southerner. Mr. Rives said the original distinction of par. ties in this country was founded mainly on thie question of Executive power, and he referred (o various passages in Mr. Jefferson's w to prove it. The party opposed to the undue enlargement of Executive power and in favor uf maintaining the Constitutional independence of the legislative department, were the Repub. licans. ‘Those who wete for conce the powers of the Government practic in the hands of the President, Mr. Jefferson ed, as will be seen in various parts of his pub- lished correspondence, by the appropriate apd significant name of monocrats, or advocates of the one man power.* We have the same parties now, and straage to tell those who call themselves Democrats, are the advocates of the onE MAN power.— | Their proper denomination, according to the highest Republican authority in our political history, is Monocrats, and if we mean to call things by their right names, we must reform ‘our party nomenclature, and henceforward the name of Democrat must be replaced by the more appropriate and descriptive one of 4omo- Now, as in the infancy of our politicgl institutions, the struggle is between RePusLi- cans, the true friend of popular government ag- cording to the forms and principles of our Coa- stitution, on the one hand, and on the other, MONOCRATS tricked out in the disguise of demo- cracy, but by their doctrines and practices, gub- jecting every thing to the will and authority of ONE MAN. The issue between these parties fe emphatically joined in the Presidential coptast now to be decided, and let every man as he | wishes to be considered a REPUBLICAN oF & mMONOCRAT, make his choice. And here, Mr. R. said, he would remind hia old friends of the so called Democratic party, for the mass of whom he entertained a singere | affection and respect, that the term democrqt, aa a party denomination, is of very modern and suspicious introduction among us of the “ Old Dominion.” He would defy any map to shew him a passage in the writings of Mr. Jeflereon rea men applied to themselves or their feel friends, the name of democrat. They were republicans, and so invariably called themeelyes and their political associates. The name of democrat, to whatever extent it may have pre- vailed elsewhere, was never an tchaowledged party designation among us of Virginia, at \ill it was brought in as a part of the system of clap trap of Van Burenism, and with Van Bu- renism, of which all Virginians of ove party are now heartily sick, let it go out. ose of us who are in heart and principle, Republicans, may well be content to be known by the bon, ored name which our fathers were proud to bear. *We are enabled by Mr. Rives to supply. the following reference to Mr. Jeflerson’s writings in support of the statement made by him above. In vo). 4th of his writings, page 450, speak. ing of the party division which arose soon afies the Constitution was put into operation, he says; “ Here then was the real gee of the op- position made to the course of the Administra- tion. Its object was to preserve the Legisla- ture pure and independent of the executive ; to restrain the Administration to republican forms and principles, and not permit the Constitutiog to be construed imto a monarchy, and to be warped iv practice into all the principles and pollutions of their favorite Eeglish model. Nor was this an opposition to General Washington. He was true to the republican charge confided to him, etc.” Again, under date of 1st. October, 1792, ex- pressing his apprehensions of tbe tendency of General Hamilton’s policy, be says.: “ If the equilibrium of thethree great badies, Legislature, Executive and Judiciary could be preserved, if the LeGisLaTURE COULD BE REPT INDEPENDEST, I should never fear tbe result.of such a goverament, but I could not bot be an- easy when I saw that the Execurive map sWAsLLoweD Up THE LecrstaTive Brance.” Vol 4, page 470-1. In a letter to Mr. Adams, the elder, 27th June, 1813, he says—* We broke into are? 40 ties, each wishing to give the Gorernmeat a different direction: the one to sTekxé?iEN THE MOST POPULAR BRANCH, the other the #oRk PERMAXENT BRANCHES, and to dacmy dered rmanence.

It being known that the distinguished Captain now Colonel Bragg, was in town, in a letter to Mr. Giles, 31st. December, 1795, he says, “ But where the difference is | as substantial and as strongly pronounced as hetween the Repusttcans and Monocrats of | our country, [ bold it as honourable to take a | firm and decided part,” ete. Vol. 3, page 319. | In a letter to Mr. Monroe, 19th July, 1796, | he says, * They see that nothing can support | them but the colossus of the President’s merits with the people, and the moment be retires that his suceessor, if a Monocrat, will be over- come by the republican sense of his constitu. | ents; if a Repunurcan, he will of course give fair play to that sense and lead things into the channel of harmony between the governors and governed.” Vol. 3, page 335. In a letter to Levi Lincoln, Esq., 11th July, 1801, be says, * Ihe consolidation of our fel. | Juw citizens in general is the great object we ought to keep in view, and that being once obe tained, while we assuciate with us in affairs to acertain degree the federal sect of Repusut- CANS, we must strip of all the means of influ- ence the Essex Junto and their associate Mono- cRraTs, in every part of the Union.” Vol. 3, page 471. INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS. The President, in removing from office B. F. Butler, and some other citizens of that division of the Democratic party to which he belongs, had as well have thrust his bands intoa hornet’s nest. Their friends are roused into a vehement indignation. One effect of this proscription has been to unseal their lips as to certain things which have hitherto been considered and kept as family secrets, but which, now that the fami- ly is broken up, aro no longer so. ‘The sub- joined extracts from an article in the New York * Evening Post” upon the subject throws some valuable light on the doings of the Baltimore | Conyeution of 144. If the * Post” bad, in| addition, let us know zho it was that ‘ misled” | Ma.

Int. From the New York Evening Post. The Washington Union, we see, preserves a prodent silence in regard to the removal of Mr. Butler, as it did in regard to the infamous trick hy which Mr. Polk cbtained the votes of Mr. | Benton and others for giving him discretionary | powers in the annexation of Texas. ‘The Un. | ton'is doubtless right. When nothing can be said it ia policy to be silent.

He is displaced | without the slightest pretence that be has been | in any way wanting to the responsibilities of | his post. | What makes this proceeding more gross on the part of Mr. Polk is the fact that Mr. Butler | made him President. We do not record the | fact to Mr. Butler’s honor, but it is a fact nev- ertheless; it was Mr. Butler who extricated | sinking in Tennessce, and, misled by an erro- | neous opinion of his character, brought him be- | fore the Nalion as a candidate for the highest place the Nation had to bestow. But for Mr. | Batler’s exertions in his favor at the Baltimore | Convention of 1844 he could not have become | @ candidate ; and, if report say true, he has not warmest terms. He pressed upon Mr. Butler the offer of a place in his Cabinet—the Depart- ment of War; and, when he found bim firm in | réfasing it, appointed him to the post of United States Attorney for the Southern District of N. York. From this office the grateful creature now suddenly ejects him, &c. THE EXPEDITION AGAINST MEXICO —ALL DOUBTS REMOVED. We warned our leaders a few days ago, that there was a scheme on fvot to raise and organ. ise an armed force in the United States, for the violent and forcible conquest of some of the northern provinces of Mexico. Since that time, we have conversed with a gentleman of anim- achable character, who had command of one of the United States steamers for the transpor- tation of soldiers, arms, munitions, &c., from | New Orleans to Tampico and Vera Cruz, dur- ing the war, and who says that to his own per- sonal knowledge, there is no doubt of the ex- Istence of such a plot. He was at ‘Tampico frequently, where the movement was openly canvassed ; Knew of the meetings on the sub. ject, and says that those who were engaged in it, would bave made that city the place of ren. dezvous, without coming back to their homes, but for the fact that the government ordered our | troops to be marched back and disbanded at certain points within the United States. Cor. pus Christi is now fixed upon as the point of meeting, and a large number of wagons, mules, &c., are being bought up and collected at that place. But the most astonishing thing connected with this monstrous plot to rob Mexico of her most fertile and valuable Jands, is the fact that the Administration had been infurmed of it.— Our informant says that Col. De Russy of the ‘Louisiana regiment, who bad been asked to become the leader of the movement, told him that he knew Me. Buchanan was apprised of it tore than three months since! If he was in- furmed of it, of which there is no doubt, he certainly communicated it to the President, as he was bound to do, being a member of bis cabinet. In the Austin Democrat of the 16th ult., we / find the fullowing paragraph, which may be in. | teresting to the * Hunters.” | “ We learn by a gentleman recently fiom the | Rio Grande, that tbere is a general revolution. ary movement going on in the castern portion of Mexico, In the several towns, parties are forming under different pretexts, but the real | ebject of which is to ascertain in the public m@reagih of the opposition to the Central Gov. erameni, ‘he leading men are arousing the lower classes against the existing government and citizens of the U. States are busily engag. ed amoug them. The priest and alcalde of San Fernando, aud most of the leading charac. ters of that district, have openly declared for the Constitution of 1824. A publie ball was reeenily given to the Americans in that neigh. | war on the Rio Grande. evening by a few gentlemen at the Astor House, over which Philip Hone, Esq. pre- sided. Among the other guests were Mr. Meredith and Mr. Kennedy, of Baltimore, | the Hon. Mr. (Co!.) Haskell, of Tenn., and Hon. Mr. Donnell, of N. C.—At the din- ner were several distinguished merchants, bankers, &c., who had assembled there to do honor to the brave. As this dinner was in some degree pri- vate, we shall go no furner than to report in substance, and from memory, the re- marks of Col. Bragg. Mr. Hone toasted him as Capt. Bragg, better known by that than any other name,—*A little more grape, Captain Bragg,’—and alluded at length to the brilliant service of the flying artillery at Buena Vista. Col. Bragg modestly rising, and in some embarrassment said, it was well known, , that he was only a soldier, and that there- fore no fitting speech could be expected from him in reply. For whatever merit ‘gentlemen choose to award him, or what- ‘ever reputation, if any he had undeserv- edly, the whole of it was due the gallant General under whom he served, and to the soldiers in the service he commanded ; | nay more, for the brilliantcy of that ser- vice, he was indebted to the training of the lamented Ringgold and Ridgely, from whose hand he had received the corps,-in that full efficiency that enabled it to im- mortalize itself on the perifous and bloody field of Buena Vista. To the General in Chief his acknow- ledgments were especially due. He in- /spired the whole army with valor and confidence by his presence, not only at. Buena Vista, but from the opening of the | It is almost im- possible for you, gentlemen, he said, to understand the character of that man as a commander of an army. resolution, a firmness, a determination in manner, and in his purposes, that go a | great ways in leading men to victory.

Some were anxious to ascertain ‘his intentions. '* Tell the mento sleep. Keep quiet.— Sleep is the main thing necessary.” Two 'or three officers were particularly anx- ‘ious to know whether he intended to go 'on, or hold his position. But the only sat- isfaction that could be got was, to ‘sleep.’ He disclosed to none of them his inten- tions. There was a prevailing opinion that it was too perilous a march to go on. But Gen. Taylor toward morning, disturb- ed by some person demanding orders, re- plied ‘allow the men to rest. It is time )enough at sunrise.’ Then turning over 'in his blanket, he said to an officer near, '* My mind is made up, my mind is made up,—but nobody knew how his) mind | Was made up,—and yet they who knew i bim, knew if his mind was made up, it Was no use to try to change it. In the morning a counsel of war was summoned and there were eleven oflicers present, three only of whom advised ad- 'vance. Mind, | cast nocensure upon any one. A difference of opinion, under such circumstances, might have been expected. But they who knew the power of the Light Artillery, and had scen it play that day, had confidence that it could clear a way for the army back to Fort Brown. ‘Old Zack,—for that is the name we call chim, replied after the consultation had broken up, we will advance in fifteen min- 'utes—and forward they marched to Resa- .cade la Palma, the result of which you }all know. Old Zack kept his word to | Maj. Brown,—but alas, the brave and la- |mented Major had received his death | Wound. | So at Buena Vista the personal charac: | ter of General Taylor had a like influence on the army. When the War Depart- /ment deemed it necessary, in order to form a column to invade Mexico via Vera Cruz, to take his Regulars from him, he Was sure,—that Santa Anna would at— tack him. ‘J am the weak point, he of- _ten said, ‘and I know he will attack me.’ But he determined to defend his position, | and in order the best way to defend it, to advance. Gen. Scett has taken a hundred, said he; I shall save a thousand. Gen. Taylor kept well informed of the a proach of the enemy by General Wool’s scouts, moved on to Saltillo, then on to Agua Nueva. It was proposed at one an impromptu dinner was given him last | There is a| On the 8th, they fought at | Palo Alto, and when night came on, they His only answer was, ' time to meet the enemy in advance of Agua Noeva, but ascertaining by his en- gineers that their position could be turned, he resolved to fall back to Buena Vista, as the enemy approached him. Buena Vista is a military position that any sol- dier’s eye would select for a defence. To no particular person is the credit of its selection due—for it has been said, that even a woman picked it out as a place to repulse an enemy. Various officers have had the credit of the selection, bat what- ever particular credit is due, is certainly due to the Commander in Chief, who fought the battle. The Mexicans themselves |had fought a battle there. Santa Anna | knew the ground so well, that he ordered Gen. Minon to get into our rear. Minon did as ordered; but when he reached | Buena Vista he found us in possession of it. The 22d February, with 4,500 men, | mostly raw troops, opposed to 20,000 of the enemy, was certainly not a very en- /couraging day. We did not feel quite so ‘happy or so well, as over this bountiful table to-night. We thought of home, and 'of families and friends, and our chance of death was much better, we thought, than ever seeing them again. For sev- eral days previous Gen. Taylor was con- | also, that he made his will. shrunk from his duty. ‘1 may perish,’ was | his thought, ‘ but I will perish in maintain- | ing the honor of my country! I have to run a terrible risk in assuming the respon- sibility of making this onward march. but it is the only course that will save my ar- my. To stay in Monterey was to be sa- | crificed by the overwhelming force of the enemy. To save all, I must here risk all!” The battle was fought, you know the result,—but you never can know the in- fluence that the presence of Gen. Taylor had uponthe army. He alone, so it seem- ed to me, could have inspired, by his pr2- | sence, every soldier in the army, as the | Volunteers were inspired. The confidence in him was complete. He had never sur- rendered. He has never been whipped ; and the idea got abroad, that he never could be. When mancuvring my pieces athwart the gullies, I cite this as an ex- ample of that confidence, I saw clouds of dust about two miles from me. I was painfully anxious. -I thought that Gener- _al Minon had fallen upon our rear and attacked our depots, and to meet him was my first thought. A man came galloping up through the dust into sight, screaming, Old Zack is coming!’ Every soldier | gave involuntary utterance to his feelings. | Old Zack came, and in fifteen minutes the tide of battle turned.

Tay- lor, it becomes a subject of importance to inquire into it. well to listen toit awhile, and understand what it all means. What means the word “ available?” | ‘urning ; on—for we are afraid | Lo, CSE Oe Jee ‘have always maintained and believed | to write a line without grammar and dic- tionary by us, lest our Mrs. Mallaprop | in pantaloons of the Union should have. cause to censure our parts of speech— turning to Dr. Johnson, we find that avail- | able means “profitable, advantageous | powerful, in force.” So availableness, (or, as We now Say, “ availability,”) is defined by the Doctor to mean “the power of promoting the end for which it is used.” The charge against the Whigs, then, is that, with an end to accomplish, they have sought what they esteemed the most “ pro- fitable, advantageous, and powerful” means of accomplishing that end. The charge against Gen. Taylor is in effect. that he possesses, beyond all other men, “ the power of proinoting the end for which he is used.” Well, now, what makes a man a “ pro- | fitable, advantageous, and powerful” can- | didate?) Why, porutariry. And what makes a man poruLar with an intelligent and sensible People? The people are capable of judging who ought to be President. The most availa- ble candidate is a man who recommends himself to the judgment of the greatest number of his fellow-citizens, in looking round then. for such a candidate, the Whigs have merely indicated the respect in which they hold the wishes, feelings, and judgment of the majority.

TAYLOR'S LETTER. We give below a letter from General country. It is full, fair and explicit, so ‘that no man not completely blinded by prejudice will be at a loss toknow where the General stands, on the public ques- tions of the day. It also puts to shame the false and contemptible assertions of the Washington Union at their head. that the old Hero cannot write a sensible letter, as it is well written; far surpassing ma- ny articles in those would be standards for grammatical accuracy. We commend it to the attention of the people, as wor- thy of a perusal. It only asserts what we and out, but that he did not intend, if eleva- ted to the Presidency to be the President of a party but of the whole Country.— | Such a man to fill that office is what the Country wants badly. James K. Polk | and all his predecessors for the last fif- teen years have been the mere instru- 'ments of a party, but Gen. Taylor will be the President of the People should he ‘be elected. What reasonable man can | refuse to vote for him on that ground. It is the delight of the patriot to vote for such a man, for he knows that the wel- fare of the country will be safe in his hands. But how is it with Cass? Is he not | pledged tothe Baltimore resolutions which prescribe his actions to the narrow sphere of the Locofoco party? And will not the course marked out lead to the destruction of the peace of the Union? Such we fear will be the result, as it has very near done in Polk’s case. We are as near the dis- solution of the Union now as we were | when the Missouri Question was agita- ting the country. Gen. Harrison stood by the country then and Gen. Zacuary Tay- Lor, the people’s friend, will stand by it now. OrFice OF THE PICAYUNE, New Orleans, Sept. 6. GENERAL TAYLOR. The following letter has been prepared by Gen.

Dear Sir—On the 22d day of May last, I addressed you a letter explaining my views in regard to various matters of public policy, lest my fellow-citizens might be misled by the many contradictory and conflicting Statements in respect to them which appeared in the Journals of the day and were circulated throughout the | country. I now find myself misrepresented and misun- derstood upon another point, of such importance to my- self personally, if not to the country at large,as toclaim from me a candid and connected exposition of my rela- tions to the public in regard to the pending Presidential canvass. The utmost ingenuity has been expended upon seve- ral letters and detached sentences of letters, which have recently appeared over my signature, to show that I oc- cupy an equivocal attitude toward the various parties in- to which the people are divided, and especially towards the Whig party as represented by the National Conven- | tion which assembled in Philadelphia in June last. Had these letters and scraps of letters been published or con- strued in connection with what I have heretofore said upon this subject, I should not now have to complain of the speed with which my answers to isolated questions | have been given up to the captious criticism of those who | have been made my enemies by a nomination which has been tendered to me without solicitation or arrangement of mine; or of the manner in which select passages in some of my letters, written in the freedom and careless- ness of a confidential correspondence, have been commu- | nicated to the public press. But riven from the contest, and separated from a series of explanatory facts and circumstances which are, in so far as this canvass is con- cerned, historical, they are as deceptive as though they were positive fabrications. I address you this letter to correct the injustice that has been done me, and the pub- lic to the extent that I am an object of interest to them by this illiberal process. _ I shall not weary you by an elaborate recital of every incident connected with the first presentation of my name as a candidate for the Presidency. I was then at the head of the American army in the valley of the Rio Grande. I was surrounded by Whigs and Democrat ine had stood by me in the trying hours of my life, and a hom it was my destiny to conduct through scenes of still greater trial. My dury to that army, and to the Republic whose battles we were waging, forbade my as- suming @ position of seeming hostility to any portion of the brave men under my command—all of whom knew I was a Whig in principle, for I made no concealment of my political sentiments or predilections. Such had been the violence of party struggles during our late Presidential elections, that the acceptance of a nomination under the various interpretations given to the obligations of a candidate presented to the public with | a formulary of political principles, was equivolent almost toa declaration of uncompromising enmity to all who | did not subscribe to its tenets. I was unwilling te haz- | ard the effect of such relationship towards any of the | Soldiers under my command when in front of an ‘enemy common to us all. It would have been onjest in itself, and it was repugnan ant to my feelings as it was to my du- ty. TI wanted unity in the army, and forbore any act Locofoco press, with Old Ritchie of the, from first to last that he was a Whig out. eth EL havemot tay letters written at the time the biseneitiear el Soli which attends popular ] say it in sincerity the indag. gongent. was the hope that by going in, couvaas it Would bd conducted mnende iF noe se kindness. It bas been no fewk of mine that this ang. pation had proved a vairt one. rT Ager I itted myself to bean far the Pp, sidency, wader the circumstances above Doticed, | g, cepted nomination ‘ Wie fee were tendered. ‘They were made irrespectin, FE 2. 8 » & 8 | those nomipations could ore tha he poll ; and I prociaix the proffered suppor gi | any body of my fell This was my pesitj , when in November ed | | long before either of the great divisions of the people iy held a national convention, and when it was (hougy | doubtful if one of them would hold any. | Matters stood in this attitude till spring, when the, were so many statements in circulation concerning | views upon questions of national policy, that I felt ca, strained to correct the errors into which the public mig | was falling by a more explicit enunciation of principin which I did in my letter toayou in April last. Thatie, ter, and the facts which I have detailed as briefly as proper understanding of them would permit, develo my whole position in relation to the Presidency, at time. The Democratic Convention met in May, and co posed their ticket to suit them. This they had a rig | todo. The National Whig Convention met io Jom and selected me as their candidate. I accepted th nomination with gratitude and with pride. I was prox of the confidence of such a body of men represeniiug | such a constituency as the Whig party of, the Uni States, a manifestation the more grateful because it not cumbered with exactions incompatible with the dig. | nity of the presidential office, and the responsibilities ¢ its incumbent to the whole people of the nation. <Ax | I may-add, that these emotions were increased by as. ciating my name with that of the distinguished citizg | of New York, whose acknowledged abilities and s | conservative opinions might have justly entitled them the first place on the ticket. The convention adopted me as it found me—a Wh —decided but not ultra in my opinions ; and I would te without excuse if I were to shift the relationships whi subsisted at the time. They took me with the declan. | tion of principles I had published to the world, and] would be without defence if I were to say or do anything | to impair the force of that declaration. | I have said that I would accept a nomination from | Democra:- ; but in so doing I would not abate one joie tittle o: i:y opinions as written down. Such a nomin tion, as indicating a coincidence of opinion on the pan of those making it, should not be regarded with dist by those who think with me ; as a compliment personal to myself, it should not be expected that I would repuie them with insult. I shall not modify my views to entice them to my side; I shall not reject their aid when they join my friends voluntarily. I have said I was not a party candidate, nor am 1a that straightened and sectarian sense which would pre vent my being the President of the whole people, in cas of my election. I did not regard myself as one befo the convention met, and that body did not seék to mek me different from what I was. They did nor fetter » down to a series of pledges which were to be an im rule of action in all, and in despite of all, the continges cies that might arise in the course of the Presidenual term. Iam not engaged to lay violent hands indiscnm inately upon public officers good or bad, who may differ in opinion with me. I am not expected to force Con- gress, by the coercion of the veto, to pass laws to suil me or pass none. This is what I mean by not being a par ty candidate. And I understand this is good Whig de- | trine—I would not be a partizan President and hene should not be a party candidate in the sense that would make one. This is the sum and substance of my mear ing, and this is the purport of the facts and circumsiap ces attending my nomination, when considered in ther | connection with, and dependence upon, one another I refer all persons, who are anxious on the sulyect, this statement for the proper understanding of my pos tion towards the Presidency and the people. If it is pet intelligible, I cannot make it so, and shall cease to at tempt it. In taking leave of the subject, I have only to add tbat my two letters to you embrace all the topics ] design te speak of pending this canvass. If I am elected, | she! do all that an honest zeal may effect to cement the bonds of our Union and establish :lie happiness of my country men upon an enduring basis. Z. TAYLOR. To Capt J. S.

We all know thal Thomas Jefferson was a staunch Repub lican—as pure a Whig as ever lived, and hence, a good fame, like a halo of mellow light, rests upon his grave. The Demo crats are ever seeking to appropriate themselves the glory of this great mat as well that of every other great spith whose memory for good hasaresting plea in the hearts of the people. It is wise# them to do so, since it contributes to tbe accomplishment of their aims—the perpe tuity of Governmental power, and Gor ernmental rewards and emoluments, wit them. Bat it may afford our readers a ple sant and profitable past-time to Jook inl this matter a little ; and so, if possible, # learn the grounds on which the Dem 'crats assert their pretensions in relati# to their Jeffersonian likeness. With ths view we invite their attention to the #* ticle in another part of this paper, he '“TheOne Man Power.” From it they ™# _ be able to gather, very clearly, the imp™ | tant fact that in one most essential poi% |at least, the Democrats have dep from the “ Jeffersonian School.” The Jeffersonian grows a little res" in relation to its statement, that out of tbe | whole number of men which composed the | volunteer Regiment from this State, the are but “ eight orten” in favor of Gene Taylor for the Presidency.

GaP BANS A Suave.—A Kentucky friend some years since re- lated to us the following anecdote, as having actually occurred in that State : There was a roystering sort of a fellow named Peter | Russell, but usually called Pete Russell, who owned a good deal of property, and therefore had a pecuniary re- sponsibility, though he was always in want of money, and fréquently in the hands of shavers. Qa@ one oceasion he went to a certain accommodating , friend, to borrow two thousand dollars—* yes,” said his friend, “ Pete, I will lend you the two thousand dollars, ' abd without interest too, if you will give your bill for the | amount on London.” “ Oh, no,” replied Pete. “I can’t stand that. thén E must pay you the amount and twenty per cent. damages. That's too deep a dig.” “ Well,” said Shylock, “that ia cutting it rather fat, I acknowledge, but [ will tell you Pete, what I will do— I will take your bill on London for two thousand dol- lars, and pay you for it two thousand two hundred, and when it comes back protested, you will have to refund the two thousand dollars, and twenty per cent. damages, making together two thousand four hundred, which will leave me ouly two hundred dollars.” “ Agreed,” said Pete, “1 am willing to stand that.” Sadown they sat to prepare the documents. * But, who the deuce shall I draw upoa in London,” said Pete, “I do not know a single soul there.” “Tt is perfectly immaterial who you draw upon,” said lie friend. “ So far as 1 am concerned, I am willing you draw upon the town pump.” “ By Jove!” said Pete, “ | have it—I’l| draw upon my cougin, the Duke of Bedford.” “Ft wilt be recollected that the family name of his Grace | fe‘ Rassell, and Pete was in the habit of boasting that he | So Pete “let two , had descended from the same stock. thousand do}lars on his Grace of Bedford ; and receiv- ed the stipulated amount of two thousand two hundred dqljars. _ [he bill, of course, had to be sent out to Lon- don, to be presented to his Grace, and regularly protest- ed, in order to establish a legal claim upon the drawer. One morning it was accordingly found, with other doc- pmenis, on the table in the Duke's study, having been left for acceptance or payment. “ And who,” said his Grace of Bedford, taking up the bill, and addressing his man of business, “is this Peter Russell, that is drawing on me for two thousand dollars ? I never deard of him before, and do not know by what authority he does so.” “fam equally ignorant, your Grace,” said the homme @affaires. ‘1 know nothing of him.” * Well,” said his Grace, after musing a moment, “ it _ed with an invitation to the meeting.

At the risk of “marring a curious | tale in the telling,” (for Bob's imitative manner of course fs wanting) we may state that we received, in Louisburg, the news of Gen. Taylor’s nomination on Friday after- | noon, Ith June, and the gallant Whigs of that ancient | town immediately fired a thundering salute on the oc- | easion. Bob was at home, somewhat over two miles from town, and, when he heard the first gun, bat little dreamed of the cause.

There was an immense Mass Meeting ‘of the friends of Taylor and Fillmore, at ‘the Chinese Museum, in_ Philadelphia, on Saturday evening last, for the purpose | of ratifying the nomination recently made ‘at Harrisburg ot the Hon. W. F. John- ‘ston, as the Whig and Taylor candidate Colonel Swift, the Mayor The Inquirer says ; tor Governor. of the city, presided. “The friends of the good cause were there by thousands, and the spacious Sa- loon of the Museum never presented a more animated appearance. Citizens poured in from every quarter of the city and county, and the music, the banners, ‘the devices, the lights, the speaking, the responsesand the enthusiastic cheers, serv- -ed at once to interest and excite. It was truly a heart-warm rally. a cordial move- ment of the masses. All present seemed to acquire new confidence in the cause and in the prospect. The accounts of the recent State Convention and the immense |Mass Meeting at Harrisburg, were listen- ed to with the deepest interest.

Her freemen are alive to the great stake involved. and will exert them- _selves to the utmost to secure a noble triumph as well in October as November next. THE MEETING ON SATURDAY NIGHT WAS, IN FACT, BY FAR THE LARGEST THAT HAS EVER | BEEN HELD IN PHILADELPHIA BY | ANY POLITICAL PARTY SINCE THE |COMMENCEMENT OF THE CAM- PAIGN. The speaking, too, was excel- lent, and the enthusiasm, whenever the | this moment been received, inviting me as the Dame of ‘Old Zack’ was mentioned, was truly refreshing.’ | The meeting was addressed by Joseph R. Chandler, Governor Johnston, Ex-Gov- ernor Pennington, of New Jersey, Z. Col- lins Lee, and the Hon. W. Cost Johnston, and by several others. Senator Dayton, of New Jersey, Col. W. F. Haskell, of Tennessee, and Senator Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland, who had been also expected, were detained away by unavoidable occurrences. The News SAYS: “Tt wasthe GREAT MEETING of the campaign thus far. The Saloon was crowded in every part. The movement was cordial, unanimous and enthusiastic. _—The Young Men may well be proud of such a demonstration. Nothing superior _in the way of numbers, zeal, interest and enthusiasm, is likely to take place before the seventh of November. Whenever the name of Taylor was mentioned, it el- icited a volley of cheers. The friends of Old Zack are beginning to show them- selves, not by dozens and hundreds, but by thousands, and the puzzle will be, af- ter the election, where all the votes came from.’ Mr.WEBSTER OUT FOR GEN. TAY- LOR. In the speech delivered by the Hon. Daniel Webster, before the Whigs of Marshfield on Friday last, he avowed himself fully, and unequivocally, in favor of the election of General Taylor. a * 4 os IA aa FETE a ae VE EB” SBS Th W o@ HE Proprietors of the CAPE FEAR STEAM BOAT COMPANY have pat on the River the | new Steamer GOV.

It would have been unjust in itself, ty. that might sow the seeds of distrust and discord in its ranks. I have not my letters written at the time before me, but they are all of one import, and in conformity with the views herein expressed. Meanwhilé I was solicited by my personal friends and by strangers, by Whigs and Democrats, to consent to become a candidate. I was nominated by the people in primary assemblies—by Whigs, Democrats and Natives, in separate and mixed meetings. I resisted thein ail, and continued to do so till led to believe that my oppo- sition was assuming the aspect of a defiance of the pop- I yielded only when it looked like pre- have done go had not the nomination been presented to me in a form unlikely to awaken acrimony or reproduce the bitterness of feeling which attends popular elections. I say it in sincerity and truth that a part of the induce- ment to my consent was the hone that by going into the | canvass it would be conducted with candor if not with kindness. It has been no fault of mine that this antici- pation has proved a vain one. After I permitted myself to be announced for the Pre- | sidency, under the circumstances above noticed, I ac- | cepted nomination after nomination in the spirit in which | they were tendered. parties, and so acknowledged. those nominations could have been deceived as to my po- litical views. From the beginning till now I have de- clared myself to be a Whig on all proper occasions.— With this distinct avowal published to the world, I did ! not think that I had a right to repel nominations from political opponents any more than I had a right to refuse the vote of a Democrat at the poll ; and I proclaimed it abroad that I should not reject the proffered support of any body of my fellow-citizens. This was my position when in November last I returned to the United States; long before either of the great divisions of the people bad held a national convention, and when it was thought | doubtful if one of them would hold any. Matters stood in this attitude till spring, when there were so inany statements in circulation concerning my | views upon questions of national policy, that I felt con- strained to correct the errors into which the public mind was falling by a more explicit enunciation of principles, ' which I did in my letter to you in April last. That let- ter, and the facts which I have detailed as briefly as a proper understanding of them would permit, developed my whole position in relation to the Presidency, at the | time. The Democratic Convention met in May, and com- posed their ticket to suit them. This they had a right to do. The National Whig Convention met in June, and selected me as their candidate. I accepted the nomination with gratitude and with pride. I was proud of the confidence of such a body of men representing such a constituency as the Whig party of the United ; | States, a manifestation the more grateful because it was | I wanted unity in the army, and forbore any act | They were made irrespective of | No one who joined in | ‘the Pilgrims ; and our fatbers in 76 declared that because the King withheld his consent from Jaws wholesome and necessary, they, as Whigs, would no longer consent to be govern. ed by him. What is Gen. Taylor’s position upon this question—this Whig principle? Is he nota Whig? Does he not say that the peo- ple by their representatives must make the laws, and he, if elected, will execute them? What do the Whigs want of a President? I suppose you want a President? I suppose you want a President to act under the constitution ; to re- ' commend to Congress measures he may deem necessary ; to recommend appointments to office; and to stop there, letting the law-making pow- ‘er created by the constitution do its duty within the boundaries marked out by that instrument. Is this so? Well this is the position occupied by Gencral Taylor. Like you, my brother Whigs, I wanted to know, when Gen. Taylor became the candidate, his opinion ; [ wanted not his pledges ; I wanted to know bis opinions upon vetoes; for, while the people rule, our Constitution and our Government are safe against corruption, money, and power; not even the powers of darkness can overthrow them. We have his opinions—we may thank the Democrats for that their published false- hoods drew them out—and those opinions are such as the Whigs have entertained from the time of Hampden tll the present day.

Yet this ve- ry passage has been seized upon and made the foundation of a calumny so monstrous away with the foul injustice that now marks its utterance.

It is no new thing to find Gen. Taylor denounced in the columns of the Union for statements | and opinions which that paper has made and expressed for him, not only without warrant from any declaration of his, but with a most deliberate perversien of his real language and true meaning, If the Union would stop this practice it might be none the less efficient in promoting the cause of Cass and Butler—tosay nothing KEEP IT BEFORE” TE PEOPLE.

It presents, in a compact form, all the matters bearing upon the subject, and exhibits Gen. Taylor in his proper character—true to himself, to his friends, and to his country.

Had these letters and scraps of letters been published or con- | strued in cannection with what | have heretofore said npon this subject, J should not now have to complain of the speed with which my answers to isolated questions have been given up to the captieus criticism of those who have been made my enemies by a nonunation which has been tendered to me without solicitation or arrangement of mine; or of the manner in which select passages in some of my letters, written in the freedom and careless- bess of a confidential correspondence, have been commu- Nicatedta the public press. and separated from a series of explanatory facts and ecireumstances which are, in so jar as this canvass is con- | cerned, histarical, they are as deceptive as though they were positive fabrications. correet the injustice that has been dune me, and the pub- lie to the extent that I am an object of interest to thei, by this illiberal process.

And I may add, that these emotions were increased by asso- ciating my name with that of the distinguished citizen of New York, whose acknowledged abilities and sound | conservative opinions might have justly entitled them to _ the first place on the ticket. The convention adopted me as it found me—a Whig —decided but not ultra in my opinions; and I would be without excuse if I were to shift the relationships which subsisted at the time. They took me with the declara- tion of principles [ had published to the world, and I would be without defence if I were to say or do anything to impair the force of that declaration. I have said that I would accept a nomination from Democrats ; but in so doiag I would not abate one jot or tittle of my opinions as written down, Such a nomina- tion, as indicating a coincidence of opinion on the part of those making it, should not be regarded with disfavor by those who think with me ; as a compliment personal | to myself, it should not be expected that I would repulse them with insult. I shall not modify my views to entice join my friends voluntarily. I have said I was vot a party candidate, nor am I in that straightened and sectarian sense which would pre- vent my being the President of the whole people, in case of iy election. I did not regard myself as one before the convention met, and that body did not seek to make me different from what I was.

And I understand this is good Whig doc- trine—I would not be a partizan President and hence should not be a party candidate in the sense that would | make one. ‘This is the sum and substance of my mean- | ing, and this is the purport of the facts and circumstan- ces attending my nomination, when considered in their connection with, and dependence upon, one another. I refer all persons, who are anxious on the subject, to this statement for the proper understanding of my posi- tion towards the Presidency and the people. If it is not intelligible, I cannot make it so, and shall cease to at tempt it. In taking leave of the subject, I have only to add that speak of pending this canvass. If Iam elected, I shall do all that an honest zeal may eflect to cement the bonds of our Union and establish the happiness of my country- men upon an enduring basis. Z. TAYLOR. To Capt J. S. Atrison.

After some preliminary remarks, he said that he fuund but one Whig candidate in the field for the Presidency; and belheving Whig principles to be necessary for the pros- ' perity of the country, he should be recreant to that country if he deserted those principles now for the sake of men. ‘Lam here to testify: listen to me five minutes and then say “no” if you can.

TAYLOR’s SECOND ALLISON LETTER. This document, so manly in its tone, so , explicit in its declarations, is already made the subject of misrepresentation. It is curious to observe the malign ingenuity. on the one hand, and the unblushing ef- | frontery on the other, by which the best and noblest sentiments are sometimes dis- torted or falsified under the unhappy influ- ence of party rancor. The official paper says of Gen. Taylor's | second letter to Capt. Allison that it “ op- | ens with the monstrous statement that while in Mexico he felt himself compell- | ed to conceal his political opinions for fear | of alienating from him those gallant soldicrs who had eagerly rushed forth and rallied under his banner to defend the rights and honor of their country on the battle field.” Let the reader observe this allegation. | There is no obscurity about it: and if. there were it is all removed by the reiter- | in which Gen. Taylor is made to avow, “that if during the war of his country, he had spoken out his real political sentiments he must have encountered the indignant scorn cven of his own troops.” In immediate connection with this ver- | sion or rather perversion of what Gen. Taylor says, we place the very thing that Gen. Taylor does say. Speaking of the | first presentation of his name as a candi- date for the Presidency, he remarks: ] was then at the head of the America n } was surrounded by Whigs and Demo- crats who had stoed by me in the trying hours.of my life, and whom It was ny destiny to conduct through scenes of still greater trial.

From the country, our advices are eqal- ly gratifying. The contest in the interior of the State is marked by great anima- tion and excitement. The leading cham- pions of both sides have taken active parts in the canvass, and are ‘stumping it’ dili- gently. We have before us a mass of letters embracing a correspondence from fully three fourths of the Parishes. The tone of these letters is uniformly confident and cheering. The enemy may boast and brag as they please, but we know that in almost every Parish in Louisiana the Whig ticket will poll a far heavier vote than that given in 1844.—The North Wes- tern District, which went dead against us then, will exhibit changes almost of them- selves sufliciently numerous to ensure aur triumph. We speak by the card, and cannot possibly be deceived, unless the opinions of the coolest and most clear- headed Whigs in the State are absolutely worthless.

From the annual report of the Direc- tor of the U.S. Mint, it appears that the value of all the gold coined in the U. S. mints for twenty four years prior to 1847, was $12,741,653. or somewhat exceeding the average sum of half'a million a year —a very considerable addition to the stock | of American wealth ; but it appears from the returns of the coal trade in Pennsyl- | vania that the value of this commodity | brought to market in that State is annu- | ally equal to the above large amount :—_ the last year, for example, the value of her anthracite brought down to tide- water néarly 3,000,000 tons—wvas actually equal to the value of all this gold dug up in the | South during the whole twenty-four years.

Mr. Lyons addressed himself par- ticularly to the task of showing that Mr. 'Fillmore’s position before the South, is far more satisfactory than that of General Cress, who sweeps all motive for opposi- ‘tion to the Wilmot Proviso, by avowing ‘that the abolition laws of Mexico are now in force in the acquired territories, and can only be altered by the inhabitants, who being themselves in large proportion of coloured races, will never consent to re- establish slavery. One very strong point made by the spenker, was that Mr. Fill- more’s letter to Governor Gayle, even as consructed by his opponents, places him on precisely the ground of the Baltimore Platform, upon which Gen Cass has plan- | ted himself. To show this, as Mr. Lyons showed it, the Herald places the two in parallel columns as follows: CASS. ~ FILLMORE. 7th Resolution of the Bal- Letier from Mr. Fillmore timore Platform. to Gov.

I have not constitu- ted the Colonel or any one else my agent to think for me. If I live until November | next I shall cast my vote for old Zack. I know him, and 1 know him to be brave and skilful, kind and humane to his sol- diers. There are many other Demoerats, tco, that I know of that will vote for Old Rough and Ready, in preference to Gener- al Cass, that political weather cock, who dresses to suit the popular breeze. Year before last he was a Wilmot Proviso man; _this year he says he has changed greatly, last year he voted for Internal Improve- /ment against Mr. Polk’s veto; this year | he has changed a little, enough he thinks” _ to suit the times and occasion.

A New York letter, published in the Philadelphia Inquirer, says— The Sachems of Tammany Hall, last night assembled, and adopted unanimous- ly a resolution, that all the Barnburners in the Custom House must be turned out of office. As soon, therefore. as a suffi- cient time shall have elapsed for this res- olution toreach Washington and Mr. Polk’s answer received in New York, Mr. Law. rance, the collector, will be required to remove those Barnburners, or adopt the alternative which he, himself has threat- ened, in case of his being required to do so, viz: hand in his own resignation. This will be the signal for another little blow up among “the harmonious,” and will tend to render still more certain the giv- ing of the vote of this State to Gen. Tay- lor. The Prairie Car.—General Semple has been engaged in the vicinity of this place, for some two weeks past, in making ex- periments with the prairie car. Many of our citizens have witnessed the operations of the car, and have expressed their con- viction of the complete success of the un- dertaking. We understand that the car now used by Gen. Semple was never intended for circulating them to the injury of our own immediate Representative, Nat. Boypen. We repeat that all the circumstances at- | tending the whole proceeding go to prove, | beyond the shadow of a doubt, that it was done to lead the people of the district | to believe, (especially that portion not ve- ‘ry apt in reading writing) that it was Na- THANIEL Boypen’s frank.

We learn from one who was present on Monday last, at the meeting appointed by the Democracy, to set forth the claims of Cass to the votes of the people of Rowan, that it was a most signal failure; that al- though it had been published in the Loco- foco organ at Charlotte, and published in hand-bills, all over the County, not more than thirty persons, at most, were present, to hear the speech of Mr. Fisuee. This looks like carrying the County, don’t it? It may be, that the people have not for- gotten, that this same Mr. Fisher made speeches in 1810 in favor of one Martin S Van Bursy, who is now the Abolition can- didate for the Presidéncy, and in the year 1848, is making speeches for another * Northern man with Southern principles” —another abolitionist, who boasts that he never did own a negro and hopes never toown one; and when asked about the odious Wilmot proviso, which Democrat:c ames K.

And are the people of he South willing to submit the decision pf this question to such an ignorant and pperstitious people?

Mr, Cray, as will be seen by the follow- g letter to the Editor of the New York rpress, peremptorily declined to have y thing to do with this disorganizing ction in the city of New York, and the oor locos hereabouts, big and little, are ft in a most deplorable condition. They bndly imagined to themselves, that they w in the future better hopes of success br Cass; but the words had hardly pass- d from their lips before all hopes of dis- ntion in the Whig party are scattered 0 the four winds of heaven, and our pros- pects are now brighter than ever. Whigs of North Carolina, follow the patriotic example of Heyry Cray. Al- hough you may not have your first choice, emember that your country is of much Teater importance than any man. Mr. tay knows this; and we have not a Houbt but that this noble and patriotic motive prompted him to take the stand ndicated in this letter.

Facts for the People.“ ~ On the 8d of August, . member of the House of Representatives from Pennsylvania, and well known thronghout the country as a man of distinguished ability and great integrity, delivered a speech in the House, ‘in which be sustains the charges of peculation so often denied by the Cass Tories. Referring to some former remarks made on the same sub. ject, Mr. Stewart says : ' | Andrew Stewart, @ L ' | j “On the occasion to which I bave referred, | I stated the fact that General Cass, whilst Go- vernor and ex officio Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the ‘Territory of Michigan, charged and received from this Government $60,412 as _ extra compensation over and above his regular and legal salary. I now cepeat that statement, and [ have not only official documents here to prove its truth to the extent of every dollar, and much more as will soon appear, but [ have the speech of the gentleman from Michigan, (Mr. McClellanc) himself in which he admits dis-’ linctly the truth of that statement. He admits that Governor Cass received $60,412 over and above his salary and he enumerates the sums which make upthatamount. He admits it, ev- ery dollar, as stated by me, and then he under- takes to explain it, Sir, he says among other things that it is not all extra pay, but partly ex. penses which he had incurred at various times. This was the explanation of the gentleman from Michigan; but Iam prepared to show that all the sums he advanced frum “ provisions” and “presents”? to the Indians, for every pound of iron, stecl and every thing else has been charg. ed to, and repaid by, the Government, and that the sum of $60,412 constitutes no part of those charges, but is an amount which went into Go. | vernor Cass’s private pocket. Were these not extras, then? There were but two kinds of pay to the officers of this Government, regula: and evra, Governor Cass’s regular pay was $2,000 per annum, and those sums which a. mount to $60,412, were extras, over and above his regular salary; add his regular salary, $36,000, and the sum received would be $96,- 412. Batt have not only the admission of the gentleman from Michigan, but the official doc. uments which expressly declared this $60,412 to be “extra allowances.’ The resolutions of Congress which brought to light these enor- mous aud unprecedented extras called on the letter to the committee, at Washington, that | WHIGS BEWARE! We may expect double mails pregnant with ocofoco documents until the day of election. Thousands, full of the most shameless falsehoods, are already in circulation. We have had the g00d fortune to see some of them—* Gen. Tay. lor’s Two Faces,” “ A statement showing Mil- lard Fillmore to he an Abolitionist, and also showing Gen. Taylor to be in favor of the Wil. mot Proviso,” &c., &c. ‘These documents are published “under authority of the Democratic Association Committee,” composed chiefly of | office-hoiders, and franked by members of Con. Bress to every part of the Union. ‘They are doubtless sent to men well fitted for the filthy occupation of distributing lies—worthy subordi- nates to unprincipled stipendiaries. Beware, then, Whigs! Beware, all honest men! Know that these and all similar docu- ments are put in circulation by those who are interested in concealing truth from the people —by the minions of Polk who seek to prolong their official existence by the election of Cass —by men who would barter their hopes of heaven for office, and who know that all their corruption, and the prostitution of their offices {o promote the vile purposes of a corrupt party, will ensure their removal in case of the elec. tion of General Taylor. Know, too, that docu- ments of a precisely opposite character are sent to the North by this same clique of office-hold- ers.

Cass has written a he approves of the passage of the Oregon Bill, | with the Wilmot Proviso attached and the course | Richmood Southerner, which settles very con.

Let the peo- ple compare and choose between them: ty in this country for the highest office to which he can aspire, and the propriety of placing him in that office may be determined by his official conduct in the offices to which he has been ap. pointed, The gentleman from Michigan, in bis | defence of General Cass, insinuated and sug. | gested that General ‘Taylor, the candidate of the Whig party, had received more extra pay than General Cass ever received. It appears to me that the gentleman from Michigan is ve- ry unfortunate in his line of defence of Gener. al Cass. If General Taylor has received a greater amount of extra pay than General Cass, | itmay show that General Taylor has been guilty of preying on this Government, and | plunging his arm as deep as possible into the | public treasury; but if true, is that any excuse | for Governor Cass for doing the same thing ?

Democrats of North Carolina? You see your brethren of South Carolina dare to speak the truth—the same truth that is told you by the Wbhigs—not because it is a party argument, but because it is the Troth. We speak to honest, independent citizens of the Democratic party—who love their country and desire to do right. We do not speak tothe officesholders, nor office-seekers—nor to the slaves of Jacobin clubs—nor to the minions of ,men to mark it—General ‘Paylor has not con. | power—nor to the dupes of political craft and base and wicked cunning. ‘They “have turn. ed to their idols,” and instead of placing their affections where the fathers of the Revolution | and the juunders of the Republic placed them, upon theic whole couutry and its liberties, they have turned to the rotten wooden gods erec- ted by political knaves and designing dem. _agogues—idols, that have no beauty to entice the Washington North State Whig, when Col. | Biggs and Mr. Stanly, the Electors for this dis- trict, addressed the people, and when the sub.

Dear Sin—My opinions have so often been miscon- ived and misrepresented, that [ deem it due to myselt, f not to my friends, 10 make a briet exposition of them ppon the topics to which you have called my attention Ihave consented to the use of my name asa candi: ate for the Presidency. ] have tr inkly avowed my dis- rust of my fitness for this high station; but having, at fhe solicitation of many of my countrymen, taken my nosition as a candidate, I do not feel at liberty to sur- ender that position until my friends manifest a wish that J should retire from it. I will then most gladly do so. 1 have no private purposes to accomplish, no party pro- hects to build up, no enemies to punish gpothing to serve bat my country. : I have been very often addressed by letter, and my pinions have been asked upon almost every question hat might occur to the writers, as affecting the interests of their country or their party I have not always re- pponded to these inquiries for varions reasons. ( coniess, while I have great cardinal principles which ill reguiate my political life, I am not sufficiently fa- iliar with all the minute details of political legislation, o give solemn pledges to carry out his or defeat that easure, I hold no concealment I hold no opinions hich I would not readily proclaim to my assembled ountrymen ; but crude impressions upon matters of po- icy, which may be right to-day and wrong to-morrow, re perhaps not the best tests of fitness for office. One ho cannot be trusted without pledyes, cannot be confi- Jed in merely on account of them I will proceed, however, now to respond to your in- vines 5 Firet—I reiterate what I have so often said. Tama Whig. Ifelected [ would uot be the mere President of a party, I would endeavor to act independent of party domination. I should feel bound to administer the go- yernment untrammelled by any party schemes. Second—The Veto power. The power given by the onstitution to the Executive to interpose his veto, is a high conservative power; but in my opinion should ne- ver be exercised except in cases of clear violation of the | onstitution, or manifest haste and want of considera- ion by Congress. Indeed I have thought that for ma- ny years past, the known opinions and wishes of the E:x- tive have exercised an undue and injurious influence upon the Legislative Department of the Government ; and for this cause I have thought our system was in dan- ger of undergoing a great change from itstheory. The personal opinions of the individual who has happened to occupy the Executive Chair, ought not to control the ac- tion of Congress upon questions ot domestic policy ; nor ought hie objections to be interposed where questions of constitutional power have been settled by the various Departments of Governinent, and acquiesced in by the people. Third—Upon the subject of the Tariff, the Currency, he improvement of our great highways, rivers, lakes, and harbors, the will of the people as expressed through their epresentatives in Congress, ought to be respected and ied out by the Executive Fourth—The Mexican War. I sincerely rejoice at the prospect of peace. My life has been devoted to larme, yet I look upon war at all times and under all cir- umstances, as a national calamity to be avoided if com- natible with the national honor. The ti cciples of our jovernment, as well as its true policy ue opposed to be subjugation of other nations and the dismemberment bf other countries by conquest. In the language of the at Washington, * Why should we quit our own to tand on foreivn ground?” Inthe Mexican war our na- ionad honor has been vindicated ; and in dictating terms of pence, we inay wel! afford to be forbearing and mug- nanimous to a tallen foe These are my opinions on the subjects reterred to by you, and any reports or publicatious, written or verbal, from any source, differing in any essential particular from what is here written, are unauthorized and untrue. I do not know that I shall again write upon the sub- ject of national politics. T shall engage in no schemes, no combinations, no intrigues. Ifthe American people have not confidence in me, they ought not to give me If they do not, you know me. well enough to believe me, when I declare I shail be content.

ALLison their suffrages Orrick oF THE PICAYUNE, New Orleans, Sept. 6. 4 GENERAL DAXYLEOR- The following letter has been prepared by Gen. Taylor to correct any misconception which might possibly be produced by the recent pub- lication of extracts from his private correspond. ence, and the appearance over his signature of replies to single and detached questions relative The letter is a connected narrative of the series of circum. to his position before the public. stances which resulted in his becoming a can- didate. matters bearing upon the subject, and exhibits It presents, in a compact form, all the Gen. Taylor in his proper character—true to himself, to his friends, and to his country. East PascaGou.a, Sept. 4. Dear Sir—On the 22d day of May last, I addressed you a letter explaining my vie®s in regard to various Matters of public policy, lest my fellow-citizens might be misled by the many contradictory and conticting statements in respect to them which appeared in the journals of the day and were circulated throughout the country. I now find inyselt misrepresented and misun- derstood upon another point, of such importance to my- self personally, if not to the country at large,as toclaim from me a candid and connected exposition of my rela- tions to the public in regard to the pending Presidential canvass. The utmost ingenuity has been expended upon seve- ral letters and detached sentences of létters, which have Tecently appeared over my signature, to show that I oc- cupy an equivocal attitude toward the various parties in- to which the people are divided, and especialiy towards the Whig party as represented by the National Conven- tion which assembled in Philadelphia in June last. Had these letters and scraps of letters been published or con- strued in connection with what I have heretofore said upon this subject, [ should not now have to complain of the speed with which my answers to isolated questions have been given up to the captious criticism of those who have been made my enemies by a nomination which has been tendered to me without solicitation or arrangement o@ mine; or of the manner in which select passages in some of my letters, written in the freedom and careless- ness of a confidential correspondence, have been commu- nicated to the public press. But riven from the contest, and separated from a series of explanatory tacts and eixcumstances which are, in so far as this canvass 1s con- eerned, historical, they are as deceptive as though they Were positive fabrications. I address you this letter to correct the injustice that has been done me, and the pub- lie to the extent that Iam an object of interest to them, by this ijliberal process _ T shall not weary you by an elaborate recital of every ine‘dent connected with the first presentation of my name 4 a candidate for the Presidency. I was then at the head of the American army in the valley of the Rio ‘rande. I was surrounded by Wh. ss «nd Democrats Who ped stood by me in the trying hours of my lite, and whom it was my destiny to conduct through scenes of Sli greater trial. My duty to that army, and to the epablic whose batiles we were waging, forbade my as- sumioz a position of seeming hostility to any portion of es brave men under ny command—all of whom knew oa Whig in principle, for I made no concealment my political sentiments or predilections. Sach had been the violence of party struggles during our late presidential elections, that the acceptance of a Nomination under the various interpretations given to the yall of a candidate presented to the public with ee dese. ot political principles, was equivolent almost claration of uncompromising enmity to all who Rot subscribe to its tenets. I was unwilling to haz- td the effect of such relationship towards any of the ers under my command when in front of an eneiny , ' to do. = TE Splrit of the Press. : The New York Express speaks ‘io the highest terms of this letter.

It would have been unjust :> itself, | and it was repugnant to my feelings as it was to my du- | I wanted unity in the army, and forbore any act ty. that might sow the seeds of distrust and discord in its ranks. I have not my letters written at the time before me, but they are all of one import, and in conformity with the views herein expressed. Meanwhile I was solicited by my personal friends and by strangers, by Whigs and Democrats, to consent to become a candidate. I was nominated by the people in primary assemblies—by Whigs, Democrats and Natives, in separate and mixed meetings. I resisted them all, and continued to do so till led to believe that my oppo- sition was assuming the aspect of a defiance of the pop- ular wishes. I yielded only when it looked lke pre- sumption to resist longer, and even then I should not have done so had not the nomination been presented to me in a form unlikely to awaken acrimony or reproduce the bitterness of feeling which attends popular elections. I say it in sincerity and truth that a part of the induce- ment to my consent was the hope that by going into the canvass it would be conducted with candor if not with kindness. It has been no fault of mine that this antici- pation has proved a vain one. After I permitted myself to be announced for the Pre- sidency, under the circumstances above noticed, I ac- cepted nomination after nomination in the spirit in which they were tendered. They were made irrespective of parties, and so acknowledged. No one who joined in those nominations could have been deceived as to my po- litical views. From the heginning till now I have de- clared myself to be a Whig ux all proper occasions.— With thia distinct avowal published to the world, I did not think that [had a right to repel nominations from political opponents any more than I had 1 right to refuse the vote of a Democrat at the poll ; and i proclaimed it abroad that I should not reject the proffered support of any body of my fellow-citizens. This was my position when in November last I returned to the United Statesj; long before either of the great divisions of the people had held a national convention, and when it was thought doubtful if one of them would hold any. Matters s'ood in this attitude till spring, when there were so many statements in circulation concerning my views upon questions of national policy, that I felt con- strained to correct the errors into which the public mind was falling by a more explicit enunciation of principles, which I did in my letter to you in April last. That let- ter, and the facts which I have detailed as briefly as a proper understanding of them would permit, developed my whole position in relation to the Presidency, at the time. The Democratic Convention met in May, and com- posed their ticket to suit them. This they had a right The National Whig Convention met in June, /and selected me as their candidate. I accepted the nomination with gratitude and with pride. _of the confidence of such a body of men representing such a constituency as the Whig party of the United States, a manifestation the more grateful because it was not cumbered with exactions incompatible with the dig- nity of the presidential office, and the responsibilities of | | its incumbent to the whole people of the nation. And I may add, that these emotions were increased by asso- ciating my name with that of the distinguished citizen of New York, whose acknowledged abilities and sound conservative opinions might have justly entitled them to the first place on the ticket. The convention adopted me as it found me—a Whig —decided but not ultra in my opinions; and I would be without excuse if I were to shift the relationships which subsisted at the time. ‘They took me with the declara- tion of principles [ had published to the world, and I would be without defence if [ were to say or do anything to impair the force of that declaration. I have said that I would accept a nomination from Democrats ; but in so doing I would not abate one jot or tittle of my opinions ag written down. Such a nomina- tion, as indicating a coincidence of opinion on the part | of those making it, should not be regarded with disfavor by those who think with me ; as a compliment personal to myself, it should not be expected that [ would repulse them with insult. I shall not modity my views to entice them to my side; I shalt not reject their aid when they join my friends voluntarily. I have said I was not a party candidate, nor am I in that straightened and sectarian sense which wonld pre- vent my being the President of the whole people, in case | yi f peop of my election. I did not regard myself as one before the convention met, and that body did not seek to make me different from what I was. They did nor fetter me down to a series of pledges which were to be an iron rule of action in all, and in despite of all, the contingen- cies that might arise in the course of the Presidential term. Lam not engaged to lay violent hands indiscrim- inately upon public officers good or bad, who may differ in opinion with me. I am not expected to force Con- gress, by the coercion of the veto, to pass laws to snit me or pass none. This is whar I mean by not being a par- ty candidate. And I understand this is good Whig doc- trine—I would not be a partizan President and hence should not be a party candidate in the sense that would make one. This is the sum and substance of my mean- ing, and this is the purport of the facts and circumstan- ces attending my nomination, when considered in their connection with, and dependence upon, one another. I refer all persons, who are anxious on the subject, to this statement for the proper understanding of my posi- tion towards the Presidency and the people. If it is not intelligible, | cannot make it so, and shall cease to at teinpt it. In taking leave of the subject, I have only to add that my two letters to you embrace all the topics ] design to speak of pending this canvass. If I am elected, I shall do all that an honest zeal may eftect to cement the bonds of our Union and establish the happiness of my country- men upon an enduring basis. Z. TAYLOR. To Capt J. S. ALLison. 6<e- The New York Express says: ‘* David Graham, a well-known Whig, npon whom our wondering Clay brethren have much relied to go all lengths with them, sent on Saturday, so we understand, a letter to the so-called Clay Committee of Nine, who were to get up an electoral ticket, declining to act with them, up- on the grounds that Gen. Taylor’s last letter was satisfactory, and that he felt in duty bound Mr. Gra- ham was one of this Committee of Nine. to support him for the Presidency. (cr The State elections in Ohio and Penn. sylvania are to take place on the second Tues. day of October next. Ohio will elect twenty-one members of Con- gress, and a State Legislature which will choose a United States Senator for six years. Pennsylvania will elect twenty-four members of Congress, and Legislature will also elect a United States Senator for six years, poe The Boston Traveller says it learns from good authority, that the President is dis. posed to remove Mr. Morton, from the Collec. torship of Boston, but that the party cannot agree with any unanimity upon his successor. §# The Canadian authorities have granted permission for two American schooners to pro- ceed from sea up the St. Lawrence and the Ca- nadian canals to the Lakes. In Taunton, (Mass.) the other day, a boy was fined fifty dollars for raising a false alarm of fire. I was proud | AN ELOQUENT EXTRACT. Gen. Taylor's Character. General Taylor was selected, and is supported, as the standard bearer of the Whigs, nor on account of his military ser- vices, but for his high and ennobling mor- al qualities. The Mexican war has been the occasion, not the cause of his popu- larity. It is Nor because he is BRAVE as Ceesar that the people love him. It is Nor because on the battle fields of Mexico he has displayed a cool, determined, and in- vincible courage, which wrung victory from all the elements of defeat, and by his gallantry and heroic conduct confer- red new and lasting renown upon our na- | tional arms, that his fellow citizens most honor him. No; it is not that succEssFuL war has bound upon his brow the undy- | ing chaplet, and encircled his name with imperishable glory, and given hima fame — world-wide and immortal as his country’s history—which the proudest conquerors | of other times and other lands might en- vy—that has won most upon the bearts of his countrymen. It is nor for his military services, tor hisgreat and glorious achieve- ments at Fort Harrison. or in Florida, and on the hard-fought battle fields of Mexico, which no patriotic American can in his heart feel otherwise than proud of, that the Whigs rally around that heroic old man. But it is because in his late brill- iant career, as well as in every act of his lite, General Taylor has exhibited never | ‘of the country, and the lasting moral evils | failing good sense—unerring sound judg- ment—great decision and inflexible firm- , ness of character: it is because truth, | justice, integrity, fidelity, and a noble gen- erosity, illustrate and mark his whole pub- lic course and private character ; it is be- cause he has ever shown a paternal care for the lives and safety of his own soldiers, and, after the battle was won, great uv- 'manity for the wounded soldiers of the en- -emy, and generously spared helpless and unoffending women and children, as much as possible, and more than the less hu- mane and hard-hearted men in power at Washington approvep, from the horrors and misfortunes of war—it is because his ‘remarkable simplicity of manners and un- affected modesty, which remain unshaken ‘final results. | which “tried men’s souls,” those great. ' men might have gone down totheirgraves 'as thousands, in all ages and climes, of kindred souls and equal genius, have done. —unhonored and unsung. The remark, therefore, which we hear | so often made by his opponents that, * had , it not been for the Mexican war, General | Taylor would not have been thought of for the Presidency,’ may be perfectly true, and still no good reason against his eleva- tion to that high office. Had the true character and the extraordinary qualities of head and heart, possessed alike by Gen. Washington and General Taylor, re- mained forever unknown to their country: | men, or had no occasion arisen of sufh- cient public interest to excite and bring out to the knowledge of the whole people, those extraordinary qualities which all: must admit them both to have previously possessed, neither of these truly great men “ would have been thought of for the Pre- sidency.” That high office, however, was none the less deserved because war was. in both instances the occasion of de-— veloping those great MORAL QUALITIES, which, more than all else, attracted the. admiration of their countrymen,and quali- | fy men for successful civil Rule. In this connection, it isa subject of some ‘consolation that the unnecessaay and ex: pensive war in which the present Nation. ‘al Administration has involved the coun- | try, after all the embarrassment which it has caused to some of the great interests which it has inflicted upon both belliger- | ent nations, is likely to have some good | I: has been the occasion of | making the merits and true character of | Gen. Taylor known to the whole Ameri- | can people. It has given to the Whig | party the most popuLaR CANDIDATE for the | | Presidency since the second election of | amidst the thundering shouts of an admir- | ing people, point him out as one of the few great men who can stand upon the | ‘heights of place and power without be- ing made giddy by the dangerous eleva- tion—prove him to be a safe depository of -_ofticial trust, and possessed of that more than Roman virtue which can withstand the intrigues and corruptions of the capi- tal; it is these great and truly ennobling MORAL QUALITIES, Showing him to bea gen- erous, wtsc, honest, and patriotic man— more than all the splendor of his martzal vicleries—that has given Zachary Taylor such a strong hold upon the popular con- fidence, and has prompted the sovereign people to summon him from his quiet cot- tage retreat, on the banks of the Missis- sippi, to preside in the high councils of his country. These great moral qualities and much admired traits in the character of Gen. Taylor have, it is trae, burst upon the country, amidst the roar of cannon and the clashofarms. They have been brought out into public action and to the public view by the stirring scenes and exciting circumstances of war. This is, however, no uncommon occurrence. War, although one of the greatest calamities which can afflict any nation, and to be avoided al- ways, when it can be without dishonor, has, through all time and in all countries, had the effect to excite and devolop a na- tion’s energies—to arouse and stimulate the slumbering patriotism of the people— to quicken the public pulse—to warm the ‘popular feeling into a high and generous enthusiasm—to bring into more active ex- ercise, and under the public eye, the high moral as Well as military qualities of the great men of the republic. It is not in the calm and slugglish times of peace, when the surface of society is as tranquil and unrufiled as a halcyon sea, that great men suddenly emerge into bigh promi- nence, and assume positions which attract the fullest observation of the whole peo- ple. It isin the stormy periods of war, and in times of great national exigency, that those strong and lion-hearted men a- rise. who startle the world by the power of their genius, or attract its admiration by the sublimity of their patriotism, and stamp the imperishable impress of their great minds upon the character and des. tinies of nations. Had it not been for our revolutionary war, GEORGE W AsHINGTON would, in all probability, have remained through life in the very humble sphere of | an accurate and useful surveyor on the western lands of Virginia—with a very limited reputation of a brave and skilful colonel of State militia ; Alexander Ham- ilton would have doubtless been a very respectable member of the New York bar, and Nathaniel Greene. a very industrious and worthy blacksmith, in a quiet and pleasant village of East Greenwich ; but the very great traits of character, the no- ble and elevated qualities of mind and heart, for which they were so much dis- tinguished as PUBLIC MEN, Were elicited and brought under the national eye by the presentment of that great theatre upon which they were called to act so conspic- uous a part. Had it not been for the cir- cumstances of the country. and the exci: iting siruggle for national independence Washington. If ever pustic wrone visited | upon its authors a speedy RETRIBUTIVE JUs- | TICE, it promises to do so upon the heads | of those who got up the late Mexican war. The two objects which the men in power | at Washington had most at heart, on the 5th of March, 1845, were the substitution of a Low REVENUE TARIFF for the protective tariff of 1842, and the PeRPETUATION OF power in the hands of their own political party arrer the 5th of March, 1849. The Mexican war, which President Polk wrongfully and unconstitutionally commenced, without consulting or advis- ing with either House of Congress, then in session at Washington, to whom, by the Constitution, is entrusted the war-making power, besides very largely increasing the ordinary expenses of the Government, by making it necessary to support a large number of new oflicers, and keep up a large standing army for the protection of the recently acquired territory, has involv- ed the country in a new National DEBT of some one hundred and fifty millions of dollars, which will require a high tariff for years to extinguish. And, in the pros- ecution of that war, the present Admin- istration has raised up a presidential can didate for their political opponents, who will be as invincible at the ballot box as he has ever been when exposed to the balls and bayonets of his country’s ene- mies in the field. True it is, that the weak instruments, in the hands of an over- ruling providence at Washington, did not design such a result, and when they found that all the glory of the war was enuring to the benefit of the rwo Wuic GENERALS, it is equally true that they did all in their power to embarrass, degrade, and break them down. They did this while the en- emy was in overwhelming numbers in the field against them, and these efforts— “viving aid and comfort to the enemy” — to degrade and break them down, seemed to be just in proportion as these brave men were successful in subduing their country’s foe. If President Polk had, at the commencement of that war, entered into a league with Gen. Santa Anna, not only to give him “ A Free Pass” into Mex. ico, to lead her armed legions against us. but had agreed that just in proportion as Taylor and Scott should whip him, to de- grade and break down these victorious leaders of the American army, he could not have taken a course which would have more faithfully performed the terms of the bond than he has done. But these brave Whig Generals, having had to en- counter a savage enemy in front, and a still more malignant “ ENEMY IN THE REAR,” have at last ‘“ CONQUERED A PEACE FOR THEIR country.’—[Extract from the Address of the Rhode Island Whig State Convention.

Again, there is no proposition perhaps, in respect to Which the people of Michi- gan, ure in opinon more united, than in| this; that the extension of slavery, and | the increase of slave power, is adverse to. tothe prosperity of the Union.—and in an especial manner, adverse tothe rights, and injurious to the interests of the non- slave-holding S:ates. While, as a body, they would be true to all the stipulations of the Constitution, and faithful to the * compromises” involv- odin it; they are, and (except when the effervescence of party fervor may for some short space of tiie have overclouded their understandings) always have been deci- dedly opposed to the application of those peeuliar stipulations to newly acquired Stafes or Countries, not originally parties to those compromises. Now | suppose it to be a matter of no- toricly here in Detroit, that in the begin- ning, Gen. Cass was opposed to the annex-» ation of Texas—and in like manner oppo- sed to all further extension of our national limits in the Southwest. But shortly afterwards he appears the decided advocate of that fatal measure ; and of the Mexican war, and of stripping that miserable Republic of still more of her territory ! Anticipating the probable acquistion of Territory in that direction, the Michi- gan Legislature had passed Resolutions instructing its Senators in such an event, to require, in the terms of the Ordinance of 1787, that involuntary slavery—except fur cline committed—should be forever inhibited in it; and General Cass was an tarnest advocate for the Wilmot Proviso. tershurg Intelligencer upon the subject : * The Locos have laid much stress on that portion of the letter alleged to have been writ. ten by Mr. Fillmore in 1838, which declares his opposition to the slave trade between the the different States the Union. for this alleged letter, our Locofoco friends would not have a plank to stand upon.

New York, Sept. 10, 1848. Dear Str: You may not be aware as I am, whose business it is daily to read Journals from all parts of the Union, that while Gen.

We know some in- dividaals who have been crying to the American people fur forty years, “ give ! give "and they are not yet satisfied. Martin Van Buren has received during | his public life. from the State of New York, and from the U. States, $204.000, and he is still erying out for another 810,000. Lewis Cass has received from the Un- ited States, as far as we can track him. 8234231, and how much more Heaven only knows. Yet he, too, is crying out for another $100,000. These too gentlemen are certainly the coolest citizens who have ever fallen un- der our observation.

Dr. Wightman’s opinion of Gen: Taylor.— Many of our readers are person- ally acquainted with the Rev. Dr. Wight- man, olf the Methodist Episcopal Church at present one of the Editors of the Sou- thern Christian Advocate. He published in his paper in January last an account of an interview he had casually with Gener- al Taylor, on the Mississippi, and the same was transferred to our columns. We will however reproduce some portions of his narrative. ‘The first thing that struck me was sim- plicity, an unfailing attribute of true great- ness.

As some of the Locofocos appear to be in doubt as to Gen. ‘TayLor’s principles, and whether MiLLarp Pizimore is an Abolitionist or not, we continue the publication. of the following letters for their benefit, that they may see and know for them- selves. In these letters, those who have not yet been able to satisfy their minds, can do so, unless they have | determined not to be satisfied with, any thing emanating from these dis- | tinguished persons. They can here see that Gen. T'ayror’s principles are those of WASHINGTON, JEFFER-| son,and Maprson—the founders of our Government; and that MILLARD Fitumore is not the enemy of South-| ern institutions as has been falsely as-_ serted by reckless office-holders and | office-seekers ; but that he is in fact | and in truth, the sincere friend of the whole Country. He willnot desert us | as some of the democrats have done, | when the liour of trial arrives. We) call upon the people to pause and think upon these things, before cast- ing their votes for Cass. Remem- ber Van Buren; he was held up by | the same party as the man for the South, but where is he now? He is the candidate of the Abolitionists.— Such pledges as Cass has given us, Van Buren gave us,—to be broken) as circumstances may require. A | poor reliance have the people of the | South upon Cass’ friendship. —__ Orrice oF THE PICAYUNE, New Orleans, Sept. 6. GENERAL TAYLOR. The following letter has been prepared by ( ) Gen.

Dear Sir —On the 224 day of May ltast, I addressed you a letter explaining my views in regard to various mauers ef public policy, jest my tellow-citizens might be misled by the many contradictory and conflicting statements in respect to them which appeared in the journals of the day and were circulated throughout the | eountry. derstood upon another point, of such importance to my- self personally, if not to the country at large,as tuclaim from me a candid and connected exposition of my rela- tions to the public in regard to the pending Presidential canvass. The utmost ingenuity has been expended upon seve- ral letters and detached sentences of jetters, which have recently appeared over my signature, to show that I oc- eupy an equivocal attitude toward the various parties in- wo which the people are divided, and especially towards the Whig party as represented by the National Conven- tion which assembled in Philadelphia in June last. Had | these letters and scraps of letters been published or con- timed in connection with what I have heretofore said pon this subject, | should not now have to consplain of thé speed with which my answers to isolated questions lave been given opto the captious criticism of those who have been made my encmies by a nomination which has been tendered to me without solicitation or arrangement @ mine; or of the manner in which select passages in | tome of my letters, written in the freedom and carcless- | hess of a confidential correspondence, have been commu- nicated to the public press. But riven from the contest, Bhd separated from a series of explanatory facts and ccumstances which are, in so far as this canvass Is con- | eemed, historical, they are as deceptive as though they Were positive fabrications. I address you this letter to eerrect the injustice that has been done me, and the pub- lie to the extent that Iam an obiect of interest to them, by this iflibéral process. « T shall not weary you by an elaborate recital of every itgident connected with the first presentation of my name & a candidate for the Presidency. I was then at the head of the American army in the valley of the Rio Grande. I was surrounded by Whigs and Democrats who had stood by mein the trying hours of my life, and whom it was my destiny to conduct through scenes of still greater trial.

C., THURSDAY, O€TOBER 12, 1848. | wma = ; : EN ET a | Meanwhile T was solicited by my fiersonal friends and | by strangers, by Whigs and Demoerats, to consent to | become a candidate. I was noniinated by the people in | | primary assemblies—by Whigs, Democrats and Natives, | in Separate and inixed meetings. JI resisted thei all, | aod continued to do so till led to believe that my oppo- | | sition was assuming the aspect of.a deGance of the Popr | | ular wisbes._ | yielded onty when it looked like pre- | | sumption to resist longer, and even then I should not | have done so had not the nomination been presented to me in a form unlikely to awaken acrimony or reproduce | | the bitterness of feeling which attends popular elections. | J say it in sincerity and truth that a part of the induce- | ment to my consent was the hope that by going into the canvass it would be conducted with candor if not with | kindness, It bas been no fault © mine that this antici- pation has proved a vain one. After I permitted myself to be announced for the Pre- sidency, ander the circumstances above noticed, I ac- cepted nomination after nomination in the spirit in which they were tendered. They were made irrespective of parties, and so acknowledged.. No one who joined in those nominations could have been deceived as to my po- litical views. From the beginning till now I have de- clared myself to be a Whig on all proper occasions.— | With this distinct avowal published to the world, I did not think that I had a right to repel nominations from political epppenents any more than I bad a right to refuse the yote of a Democrat at the poll ; and T proclaimed it abroad that I should not reject the proffered sepport of any bady of my fellow-citizens. This was my position when in November last [ returned to the United States ; | | long before either of the yreat divisions of the people had | held a national convention, and when it was thonght | doubtful if one of them would hold any. Matters stood in this attitude till spring, when there were @O inany statements in circulation concerning my | views upon questions of national policy, that J felt con- | strained to correct the errors into which the pnblic mind | was falling by a more explicit enunciation of principles, which J did in my letter to youin April laste. Thatlet- | ter, and the faets which I have detailed as briefly as a ° proper understanding of them would permit, developed | my whole position in relation to the Presidency, at the | time. The Democratic Convention met in May, and com- posed their ticket to suit them. ‘This they had a right | todo. Fhe National Whig Convention met in June, | and selected me as their candidate. 1 accepted the | nomination with gratitude and with pride. I was proud of the confidence of such a body of men representing | such a constituency as the Whig party of the United States, a manifestation the more grateful because it was not cumbered with exactions incompatible with the dig- nity of the presidential office, and t responsibilities of t I may add, that these emotions were inzreased by asso- ciating my name with that of the distinguished citizen of New York, whose acknowledved abilities and sound conservative opinions might have justly entitled them to the first place on the ticket. The convention adopted me as it found me—a Whig —decided but not ultra in my opinions; and I would be | without excuse if I were to shift the relationships which | subsisted at the time. They took me with the declara- | tion of principles [ had published to the world, and I | would be without defence if I were to say or doanything | to impair the force of that declaration. | I have satd that I would accept a nomination from | ' Democrats ; but in so doing I would not abate one jot or tittle of my opinions as written down. Such a notnina- ' tion, as indicating 2 coineidence of opinion on the part | of those making it, sould not be regarded with disfavor | by those who think with me ; as a compliment personal | to myself, it should not be expected that | would repulse them with insult. I shall not modify my views to entice them to my side; I shall not reject their aid when they | | join my friends voluntarily. I have said I was not a party candidate, nor am J in | that straightened and sectarian sense which would pre- | vent my being the President of the whole people, in case / of my election. [ did not regard myself as one before the convention met, and that body did not seek to make | me different from what Twas They did nor fetter me down to a series of pledges which were to be an iron role of action in all, and in despite of all, the contingen- cies that might arise in the course of the Presidential | term. lam not engaged to lay violent hands indiserim- | inately upon public officers good or bad, who may differ | in opinion with me. I am not expected to force Con- | gress, by the coercion of the veto, to pass laws to suit me | or pass none. This is what I mean by not being a par- | ty candidate. And [ understand this is good Whig doc- trine—I would not be a partizan President and hence should not be a party candidate in the sense that would make one. ‘This is the sum and substance of my mean- ing, and this is the purport of the facts and circumstan- ces attending my nomination, when considered in their connection with, and dependence upon, one another.

Cass, for the Louis- ville Journal says the letter was written by him. That point was the speculation of a Secretary of War, in the public lands. From his pesition, this officer must. of ne- entirely inconsistent with his position vw employ it, in order to enrich himself. In bygone days. these admitted speculations of General Cass would have been regar- ry, never took advantage of his position to enrich himself. He died poor, where- as, had he chosen to do as General Cass did. both while Secretary of War and Governor of Michigan, he might have wallowed in wealth ; for no man, in this country, ever had before such an oppor- tunity of amassing a fortune in a short But General Harrison was a con- scientious man, and did not think his of- fice was given him for his own private purposes ; the general feeling of his day seems to have been against it. Of late years, speculations upon the country, by officials, of every grade, have become com- mon and so notorious, that they scarcely excite remark.. We make these remarks preparatory to | introducing the following article from the Louisville Journal, with the accompany: ing letter of F. O. J. Smith, to which we invite the reader’s special attention: GEN. CASS, AND HIS LAND SPECU- ‘LATIONS. Some weeks ago we published a state- ment in regard to Gen. Cass’ land specu- | lations whilst he was Secretary of War) under Gen. Jackson. We stated that he was a member of an association got up for speculating in Western lands; that the association consisted of himself, the Hon. Henry Hubbard, the Hon. F. O. J. | | Smith, and the Hon. Mr. Markoe; that The following are the reselutions referred to ¢ 10. Resolved, That we recognize in Millard Fillmore the Whig candidate forthe Vice Pre- sidency, a genuine republican, pure. patriot, a man of exalted intellect and high acquirements —one who has served the republic long and | faithfully in the civil department of the govern. ment, whose every act manifests that he is a true devotee of liberty, whose name is prominent- ly identified with the Whig party, and whose talents and patriotism justly entitle him to the love and admiration of his countrymen. Resolved, That the charge of abolitionism, recklessly adduced against Millard Fillmore, by /unscrupulous partizan opponents, fur the pur. pose of exciting sectional prejudices against him, has no foundation whatever in truth, but -on the contray, is triumphantly disproved by the sulemn declaration of our candidate for the Vice Presidency, utiered long since in the coun- | cils of the nation, that Congress has no power, under the constitution, to interfere with the in- stitution of domestic slavery as it exists in the stamps indelibly with FaLseHooD the charge of | States of this Union ; and therefore we feel well assured that Southern institutions will never be assailed or molested by any act of Millard Fill- more, ‘Death of Dr. Martin, Charge @ Affrires at Rome.—The Union of Wednesday says: “A very long and interesting despatch was received at the State Department, by the last steamer, trom Dr. Martin, our ac- complished Charge d’Affares at Rome, giving an account of his cordial reception by the Pope—of the compliments which his Holiness paid to our. country—and treating, with great clearness and force, of the sitaation of Rome, and of the potit- ical condition of the Italian States. This despatch bears date on the 20th of Au- gust. And now remark the melancholy change which has¢o rapidly ensued ! “It is with much coneern we have to state that the same arrival brings letters from Mr. Bancroft at Lendon, and Gen. Armstrong at Liverpool, stating that Dr. a résperiful -peti- | Gen. Cass had the selection of the agent | of the association and bound himself to be | responsible for his acts ; that the members | of the association, after considerable time, ' made a fruitless effort to obtain a settle- ment with Cass; that Mr. Hubbard wrote | to him denouncing him as a villian, and ‘that Cass was silent under the charge. Our statement was made on the authori- ty of the Hon. F. O. J. Smith, one of the members of the association, but we must “say injustice to him that he did not give ‘it in writing. He made it verbally to one of his friends, at the same time asking | that friend to repeat it to us to publish it, ‘and the friend in question wrote it for our | use. We make this explanation to re- ‘lieve Mr. Smith from imputations on ac- count of any slight error that may have grown out of his friend’s misunderstand- /ing or misrecollection. Mr. Kercheval, the agent of the associ- | ation. selected by Gen. Cass, sent us a let- ter which our readers no doubt remember. That letter, as we stated at the time of | its publication, and as we can prove, came | to usin the handwriting of Gen. Cass him- iself. Gen. Cass, in the said letter writing | inthe name of Mr. Kercheval. denied eve- “ry portion of the statement published by us, except indeed the main and important fact. that whilst a member of the Execu tive cabinet, he got up a powerful associ- “ation for speculation in the pablic lands.

To what Mr. Smith says of these letters we partic- ularly invite public attention. Mr. S. says that the purport of the letters was stated to him by Mr. Hubbard, and that { their character was described to him by Gen. Cass himself. who said they were so fenunciatory and abusive that he would | take. no notice of them. Gen. Cass, on ‘the contrary, writing tous in Mr. Kerche- | val’s name, protests that he has no know- | ledge of any such letters from Hubbard. | It thus becomes important, in order to fix the falsehood where it belongs, to verify the fact that the Kereheval letter is in Cass’ handwriting. With that view we have forwarded it to Detroit: Lo the Editors of the Louisville Journal— Forest Home, near Portland, Me., Sept 1, 1843. Dear Sirs—I am in receipt of your es- | teemed favor of the 14th ult., which was forwarded from Boston hither, in my ab- 'sence from both places. In respect to the articles published in your paper elucida- ting Gen. Cass’s land operations with Mr. Hubbard, and others, | have seen only an | -extract from a single article, and am un- | able to say what extent of error may have | + crept into the reports on the subject. || have seen an allusion in some paper to a letter from Mr. Kercheval, the former agent of the Cass association, assuming to contradict some of somebody’s statement, but of whose or what I am uninformed. For your guidance and the correction of any misconceptions that have arisen in | any minds on the subject. I will state the | facts sucu as Gey. Cass WILL NOT CONTRA- | DICT NOR AUTHORIZE ANY MAN TO CONTRADICT ror Him. Whatever wrong was perpetra- | ted in the matter, apart from the double | relation of Secretary of War and purcha- | ser of the public lands, which Gen. Cass | sustained, and about which each man | must reason in his own way, Will appear | | from and in these facts. The contemplated capital of the associ- | -ation was $220.000. Of this sum Gen. | | { | | | | Cass subscribed to furnish $20,000, and years 1809, 1810, 1811, Indian agents not ‘was reported by the azent, Mr. Kercheval within the limits of the Michigan Territory.” The ag- | That was at the rate of $250 a year.

He shall be at liberty to exercise his judgment in 'making the locations and entries, and “shall only be limited in making said en- tries, to the States of Michigan aud Illinois, ‘and to the territory of Wisconsin. | | By a subsequent modification of the ar- | ticles, the purchases of the agent were ! \ | | | | | | | { | | | \ | | | | “authorized to be extended into the States | and territory mentioned, &c.” | The article further provided : | “Mr. Kercheval shall be employed as the agent of the association, for whose in- tegrity, faithfulness, and punctuality.

The Her- ald thus speaks of the Van Boren move- ment: “ This Van Buren movement is éertain- ly a new thing in the history of polities in this country ; already it is said that twenty five liberty papers have gone over to the support of the Buffalo nominations.

Cassin directly opposite lights tothe | People. Confident of the falsity of this charge, we have made inquiry into the matter; and we are assured and author- ized'to assert that there is no truth in it; that it is nshcer fabrication. “But not only was this false and whole- sale aspersion of the Whig party moved byan officer of the Government, but the greater part of the meeting, if we may jucge by its list of officers, was composed ofthe same material. The person who ealled the meeting fo order was a Clerk im’@ public office : so was the presiding of- fi¢er: and a large proportion of the Vice Presidents and Secretaries were employes of the Government, one of them being the Warden of the Penitentiary, holding that trast by Executive appointment. We learn, indeed, from the newspapers and o*heP soutces, that the Officers of the Gov- ernment, some of a higher grade than Clerks, and some of a lower, make a prac- tice to spread themselves over the land, and especially in doubifal districts of the adjoining States, thus giving up to the em- ployment of electioneciing that time which they owe to the Public. We do not know ‘what our readers may think of such do- iags +-but we have a very decided opinion that, even if custom could be claimed as ~ warrant for the practice, the precedent isa very bad one, and the custom one whieh would be much more honored in the breach than in the observance. But we are well assured that even more | crying abuses than this are practised in Public Institutions in this city immediate- ly under the control and direction of the Administration. We learn, for example. that the Convicls in the Penitentiary are actually imployed in preparing and pain- iing Democratic Transparencies, for use, for electioneering purposes, not only in thjs city, but in other quarters. Whether (his be a proper employment for these con- “ets our readers are quite as competent to judge as we.are.

Polk, to the bar. He found us with “a clear and unquestiona- ble title to the whole of Oregon.” What has he done with it ? Alas!—alas! Eng- land has got one half and the North the other, with a Wilmot Proviso attached, signed by James K. Polk ! “The whole of Oregon or none.” The South possesses the latter alternative most decidedly.

Not being in town, we were deprived of the pleasure of hear. ing him, and insert, therefore, the following no- lice of the speech by the Patriot : HON. D. M. BARRINGER. This distinguished Whig representative from the Old North State delivered an able and in- teresting speech before the Rough and Ready Clab, on Saturday night. He warned the De- Mocratic party not to lay the flattering unction o their souls, that North Carolina was falter- ing in her allegiance to the Whig cause—the diminution of the Whig vote in the Jate election or Governor was due to a lecal question, which would not operate in the Presidential contest, nd he confidently expressed the by vet, thatthe majority for Gen. ‘Paylor, in] November next, would range between sir and eight thousand. Afier Mr. Barringer had concluded, Mr. ‘Tun- @all, of Pittsylvania, being called on to address the meeting, responded in his peculiar and un- rivalled strain of wit, humor, and eloquence.— The addresses of both gentlemen were greeted by the audience with repeated and enthusiastic applause, erved. a sv .

CreoLtE—Mr. FittMore's Exrosep.—In the batch of slanders which Locofocoism in Louisana has fabricated, in the desper- ate hope of injuring Gen. ‘Taylor by stri- king at him through Millard Fillmore, by far the most prominent is the charge, that | during the Congressional session of 1842, Mr. Fillmore aided and abetted Giddings, | the Abolitionist, in his infamous attempt to justify by solemn resolution, the mutiny and murder perpetrated by a number of Virginia slaves on board of the brig Cre- | ole. The charge is false from beginning to end—it is founded on falsehood, sustain- ed by ingenious and dishonest garbling Congressional records.,and wantonly palm- ed.upon the people of Louisiana by a par- ty, whose solitary chance of success rests upon the possibility of deluding and mis- leading the public mind. We have taken | some pains to investigate this atrocious libel. and an examination of the Journals of the House of Representatives will con- clusively establish Mr. Fillmore’s inno- cence, and expose the unscrupulousness and malice of his adversaries. The authors of the Creole slander as- sert in the first place, that when Giddings presented his incendiary resolutions, a mo- tion was made to lay them on the table, and that Mr. Fillmore voted in the nega- tive, leaving the bare and naked infer- ence, by inserting F2d/more and negutive in large letters, that the Whig candidate For Vice President was, therefore, in fa- vor of the resolutions. This falsehood, by implication, may at once be denuded of its flimsy covering. The Journal of the House shows that ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE MEMBERS voted with CASE OF THE /Mr. Fillmore against laying the resolu- lution on the table; and among these names we find those of JOHN B. DAW- SON, JOHN MOORE axp EDWARD D. WHITE, being the entire delegation from Louisiana, together with a large number of members from the slaveholding States. This statement proves incontrovertibly that Mr. Fillmore went with the South on the memorable occasion, and that in common with a large majority of the mem- bers he would not consent to treat the ne- farious resolutions with the usual parlia- ment courtesy, but wasin favor of com- pelling Giddings to sue for permission to withdraw them. And yet, this vote of Fillmore. which is to be fouud in conjanc- tion with that of the whole Louisiana del- egation, is recklessly and flagitiously dis- torted by Locofocoism and represented as a vote of aid and comfort to Giddings. We wish the people of the State to re- member that Locofocoism reviles Millard Fillmore for voting side by side with John Moore and the lamented Dawson and White. This, however, is only part of the evi- dence we shall present of the trickery and duplicity of Locofocoism.—Much remains to be added. ‘The Cass and Butler press designedly omits all reference to another vote of Mr. Fillmore, in reference to the resolutions of Giddings.—Before the lat- ter withdrew his resolutions, another ques- tion came before the House to wit : ‘Shall the main question be now put?” Mr. Fill- more, with a Masority of the House, voted xo, thereby refusing to entertain the main question, which was, * that the House do agree to the resolutions.” [See Journal House of Representatives, 2d Session 27th Congress, pages 567.8 9 and 370.] It is true that Mr. Fillmore voted a- gainst the preamble and resolutions offer- ed by Mr. Weller. His object was to treat Giddings with withering contempt, as a brainless, crazy fanatic, not to ele- vate him into consequence by an appear- ance of persecution. He wished to sec the resolution kicked out of the House, as the effusion of a madman and besotted bigot. Mr. Fillmore voted against all proceedings, on the subject, deeming it as much beneath the dignity of the House to discuss Mr. Gidding’s insane folly, as it would have been gravely to debate a pro- position to dissolve the Union, or to change “oe SALISBURY, N.

Morehead, thea repre- senting the county of Rockingham, the residenes of Mr. Reid the Democratic candidate for Ge vernor, advocated these changes in the Conati- tution. Gov, Swain also, when representing this county of Buncombe, constantly in bis speeches insisted on these alterations. In fact not only these prominent Whigs, but the entire west formerly occupied this ground. Haring, however, in the year 1835 gotten a partial a- mendment in some respects und despairing of getting any thing more, the west relaxed its efforts. From the course, however, which theeastern counties have taken in the late election, we are inclined to hope that they are pe chaps wiil- ing to deus justice by. consenting to these al- (erations; and in common we believe with tbe great mass of the western people intend to ad- vocate earnestly these amendments. It is true, however, that we condemned the course of Mr. Reid, the Democratic candidate, who secms to have caught up part of the views of Gov. Morehead, who was then his couaty- man. We denounced Mr. Reid because, while he proposed to make the last of these altera-’ tions, that is to abolish the freehold suffrage for Senators he objected to the other changes. Thus he was willing, he said, that poor men who did not own land should vote fur State Sen- ators, but he nevertheless insisted that no one should be elected by them unless be owned He was willing that poor men ehould vote for the Senator but he would compel them to elect some rich land- holder, and not one of themselves. He was also for still retaining the taxation basis of the Senate, by which the vote ef one man in certain of the eastern counties weighs as much as those of six or eight men in the west. He took this ground doubtless because his Democratic friends, who reside chiefly in the east, are able by this unjust discriminatiog frequently to get the control of the Legislature. He also advocates an equally unjust appor- tionment of the House of Commons. In fact when a member of the Legislature in 1840, he moved to change the school law so as todivide that fund among the counties, not according to white population as it then stood, but according groes, by which meane the rich slave holding counties of the east get a much larger share of the nioney than do iE westera counties with a large white population. Besides when a mem- ber of the Legislature he never proposed any such change, though he well knew that the Leyislature, and not the Governor, had the pow- er to make the amendment. Had he been in earnest in desiring the change, he ought to have been a candidate for the Legislature, so that he would have been able to introduce such a bill and vote fur it. His course proved clearly that he resorted to this single change merely for humbugging the people, to procure votes enough to elect bim and to carry a Democratic majority in the Leg. islature. In both of these schemes thanks to the good sense of the people, he hes signally failed, and met the fate which all demagoging deserves. We are obliged to Mr. Reid for one thing however. By getting the Democracy of the east, where they constitute the majority, to sup- port him on this issue, he has commitied them to the amendment of the constitution, and we are for holding them on to it. We insist that they shall not only abolish the freehold suffrage, as they have virtually agreed to do, bat that ihey shall also consent to abolish the Properly basis of the Senate; for it is a mockery of justice to say that every man rich or poor, shall vote for Senators, but that the vote of one mao in the county of Martin shall weigh as much as the votes of eight men in Burke and Wilkes. By making these amendments, not only will the majority ofthe people have the control of all political power, as they ought to do in every free country, but another good effect will fel- low: It will make the State government in ail departments strongly and pertnanently Whig. It is well known that the Whig strength is chiefly in the western counties, which are op- pressed by the present system. If therefore, the Democracy of the east do nut back out, as we fear they will, we are now in a fair way to get what we have long desired. We regretted that Mr. Manly in the discus. sion made any such issue. We understand however, that he acted in accordance with the views of some of the Whigs in his own section. It is to be regretted that those gentlemen there, living in the midst of Locofocoism, are not suf- ficiently apprised of the popular feeling of the State. Mr. Manly however, bore himself well, eloquently, and most gallantly in the contest, and succeeded in beating his opponent notwith- standing the heavy weigbt he carried. We doubt much if there are three men in the State who would have done the same thing, and de- serves all the praise which can be heaped upon him. We remember once to have seen a race in which a swift man carried a fence rail on his shoulder and beat bis antagonist. This feat has just been performed over again by Charles Manly. He carried the fence rail and beat Davy Reid. ‘The result proves too the great strength of the Whig party inthe State. Having success. fully Lorne this, the experimentum crucis, it need not be subjected to any further test of its strength. So far is the party from having been injured or weakened, that we confidently predict for Tay- lor and Fillmore a larger vote than has ever been given in the State. This result will be produced in part by the co-operation of the Dem- ocrats, many of whom intend to give, “ Rough and Ready” a lift this fall.

We did suppose, that as there are so many living witnesses of the bravery, skill angksbility of General Taylor asa Com- mander, that no Loeo Foco demagogue would bave the hardihood and bare-faced temerity, to assail him on this soore, an ef@eRvor to detract from his fame as a S8ldier. Bot we have been mistaken, and learn that the same vile and slanderous spirit yet prevails, which was wont to traduce the character of the good and la- mented Harrison. Falsehood after false- hood has already been put forth for polit- ical effect, by men too, whotwelve months ago, regarded Gen. Taylor as the greatest of living Commanders. They have been refuted, it is true, »lmost as soon as they met the public gaze: but the cormorant appetite of such traducers is not yet glut- ted. Nor will it be. The Pender calumny , has been pat to rest, the * hen roost pilfer- e7’s” falsehoods has been exposed, yet there are others coming. You can sce them peeping out here and there, await: ing a good opportunity to sally forth to do their dirty work. They will hardly put on a bold front, and step out into the broad light of day, but they will most likely sneak aboat in the dark—whisper under pretended secresy—put out a picce of their face at a time—drop a little of their slime here; and then a little there—creep into the back room of merchants’ stores, and throw wot to the temporary visitor, the unsuspecting and generous visitor, ¢ hint or inuendo which carries poison to | the mind! We have been informed that there is a certain Loco Fuoco dignitary and official ia this vieinity—one of the would-be-lead- ers, Who is circulating the charge that Gen. Taylor did not expose himself to any danger at the battle of Buena Vista, but that he was in a deep ravine between the mountains, far beyond the reach of dungcr —that the place was pointed out to him (this saprent dignitary) when ne was out there, | byan Engineer, and that he understood that Gen. T. did not at any tine, go an reach of the enemies’ guns?” Such, we are told, is the substance of the charge secretly circulated for political purposes. | To stamp it with falsehood, it is only ne- cessary to refer to the speech of the high- minded and yatlant Col. Bragg, at New. York, No doubt the covert intention of tbis, is to make the impression upon the | minds of thdse, who are not so well ac- | quaiated avith the character and acts of Gen. Tayior that he is a Cowarp! They said the same of the brave Harrison.— We dare the man who has been secretly | endeavoring to detract from the character | of Gen, I. in the manner we have refer- red to above, to come out oreNty with his charge! He is known to some—aye, to’ many, and he dure not publish under his own signature, what he has been mean enough to circulate privately. Le knows —if he reads this article, to whom and to what we refer. His object is apparent, though be dare not proclaiin irom the hustings or put in print what he has told about the corners of the streets, and in the back rooms of the merchants’ stores in this place! Does he take? If the: manner in which Gen. Taylor has béen assailed by the heartless dema- gogues, who bang upon the Executive at Washington, ders not arouse the manly and indignset spirit of our people, then indeed, have we “ lost the breed of noble bloods.” Will the voters of North Carolina not rebuke indignantly, such conduct?) Will they not sustata him. who has led on their sons to gallant deeds?) Will they suffer Gen. Taylor to be traduced by mercenary office-holders for political ends? Have they lost the justice and gratitude of their sires? Wecall on the Whigs—we call on the generous People throughout the State, to rally around the character of the glorious old Chief, who has led our armies to victory after vietory. That character is their prosperity. It is the common pro- perty of us all, of us and our children.— He who assails it or traduces it, is a pub- lic plunderer. tle deserves the fate of the assassin.

METHODIST CHURCH PROPERTY. [In the unfortunate difficulty between the Methodist Episcopal church, North and South, arbitration has been finally precluded by the action ofthe Commissioners ofthe church South and legal adjudication determined upon. The Methodist Expositor, of Cincinnati, an organ of the Church South says, “ That after solemn reflection and patient investigation the commissioners have reached the conclusion that longer delay to promote the claims of the Sou- thern Church “to a just and equitable portion of the property and fund” could not be expected by the adverse party, and would not be endur- ed by those whom they represent: they have therefore determined upon making the most vigorous effort to secure the end proposed ; and “deeply regretting the necessity of the measure, but deeming it important to the interests involv. ed,” have unanimously, “ Resolved, That itis expedient and necessa- ry, in view of the rights and interests in the controversy, that the necessary suits be insti- tuted as soon as practicable, for the recovery of the funds and propesty falling due to the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, South, under the contract of the plan of seperation, adopted by the Gene. ral Conference of 1844.” The Western Christian Advocate of Cinein- nati, representing the Church North, in notic. ing this matter, says thatthe **avents had ta. ken measures so far as they had time, in obe.- dience to the action of the last General Confer- ence ;” and expresses the conviction that, but for this determination of the Commissioners of the Church South, an arbitration would have been tendered that Churehy under either the | first or the third resolution ‘of Conference.

Your obedient servant, RICHARD WALLACH, President of Rongh and Ready Club. Washington, Oct. 3, 1848. To the Editors of the Washington Union. GrNTLEMEN—I perceive in the Union of this | morning, under the head of a resolution passed at the Democratic meeting in front ofthe Union office on the evening of the 27th, a statement | in these words: ‘*’They have now in this city two separate publishing rooms, in one of which senting Gen. ‘Taylor as a“ Wilmot Proviso | man,” and Gen. Cass as an advocate of the ex- tension of slavery: in the other documents are : x prepared for the South, which represent Gene. ral Cass as a Wilmot proviso man, and Gene. | ral Taylor as the champion and INTERESTED | friend of the extension ofslavery. ‘They have in circulation FOURTEEN DIFFERENT LIVES OF | Taytor, representing him as one thing in one, | and anotherthing inanother, suiting him to each meridian, and to every faction in each meridian of the country.” This statement, false in every ask of you, and Democratic editors who may publish the proceedings of the meeting in front of the Union office, as a sheer act of justice, to give publicity to this. Had the persons who framed the resolution not known that it was false and libellous, they might have ascertained its falsity by inquiry at either of the publishing | rooms alluded to, which are Now and always have been open alike to Whig and Democrat, or from Mr. Hoover, the Secretary ofthe Jack- one of the secretaries of the meeting on the oc- easion referred to, who has on more than one | occasion visited one of these publishing rooms, and was, on the day preceding the meeting of the Democracy, there for near one hour, and at whose request a notice of the meeting in hand bills was posted on the wall. There are but two Whig rooms or places in this city from whence Whig documen's of any character, kind or nature are sent. One, the room ofthe Whig | Congressional Committee, on Pennsylvanta av. enue; the other, that ofthe Central Rough and Ready Club, on 8th street. From these rooms documents of like nature and character are sent to all parts of the Union—North, South, East, and West—and not, asthe resolution of the De- mocratic meeting avers, particular or sectional | documents to particular parts. I deny that) there was ever more than one life of Gen.

Taylor published in this city, and [challenge any Democrat, Whig, | or any other person to produce a second. I deem it unnecessary to offer to the citizens of Washington, to many of whom [ am personally known, any proof of what I here allege, but should you,to Whom [ am unknown, or any one else, desire evidence of the truth of what I here assent, [extend to you or them an invita. lion to visit the room on 8th_ street, which now, ever has, and shall always be, open alike to Whig or Democrat.

Now, if my charging Gen. Cass with taking $64,860 46 pay is justly denounced by Mr. Ritchie and his other venal followers as “villification and slander” of Mr. Cass, what will they now say | of Mr. Polk, who makes it much worse than I did? What will they say of Gov. Marcy, Sec- -retary of War, D. Graham, Register of the Treasury, P. Hagner, and John M. McCalla, Second and Third Auditors, who sustain by their official signatures these statements thus ‘ villi- fying and slandering” Mr. Cass, and rendering him, if true, (as has been said by his friends, ) ‘unworthy the support of any honest man 7”’— ‘These “ outrageous” charges being established | by his own friends, what will my villifiers and slanderers now say? We shall see ! The President’s message and documents sus- taining these charges are in the hands ofevery member of Congress, where they may be seen ; and, to facilitate the examination, I will refer the inquirer to pages 2, 3, 5, 46, 50, 159, 160, | 233, and 234. It furthermore appears by these official doc- uments that Gen. Cass charged and received -as Governor of Michigan more than double the /amount of extra pay received by all the Gover- nors of all the ‘Territories of the United States, | from the foundation of the Government up to the This remarkable fact is establish. ed by these records. Can this be right?) Can Mr. Ritchie satisfy the people of this country that Lewis Cass, while Governor of Michigan, was justly entitled to double as much as all the rest of the Governors of all the other twelve or And it also appears that a great part of the extra pay allowed to the other Governors was allow. ed by Gen. Cass himself, while he was Secre- tary of War, based upon his own extra allows ances. These documents show also that Lewis Cass ‘received, in addition to bis regular salary of | $2,000 a year, $1,500 a year for fuel, office rent, &c., $1,500 a year for services beyond the territorial lines of Michigan, and also, at the _ same time, $8 per day, and forty cents per mile for making treaties with the Indians, amount- ing alone, for part of the time, to $3,000 a year, and making, with his regular salary and extra allowances, $8,000 a year, instead of $2,000, more than $20 a day, when the law gave him less than $6. But, not satisfied with all this, it appears that Gen. Cass charged and receiv- ed for several years, while Governor of Michi- _gan,the pay and emoluments of a captain and quartermaster in the regular army, amounting to upwards of $900 per year more, and charg. ed and received at one time $6,610 for rations, as well as several thousand dollars fur settling his accounts and assisting to form an Indian code, while in the receipt of all his salaries, regular and eatra, above mentioned. And, what is worse than all this. in July, 1832, a year afier Gen. Cass was appointed Secretary of War, he produced an account against the Government, amounting to $53,128 96, for al- _leged over payments, running back ten or twelve years; $5317 15 in 1820 for Indian annuities ; $10,183 61, an indefinite charge * for Indian Department prior to 1819,” which. if right, he could have retained in any of his quarterly set. tlements made during these ten or twelve years producing a balance in his favor of $85,075. For this alleged balance a requisition was drawn (No. 2906) by John Robb, acting Secre- tary of War, in favor of Lewis Cass, then him. self Secretary of War, on the ‘Treasury, and the money being paid the settlement stood suspend. ed till 1837, when it was closed by Wm. B. Lewis. (See pages 232 and 233.) Worse still: Au allowance appears to have been made, while Gov. Cass was Secretary of War, to Wm. Woodbridge, Secretary of the ‘Territory, acting as Governor of Michigan, of $1,500 a year for three years and twenty-five days, the time Gov. Cass was employed in negotiating treaties, a- mounting to $4,602 74 for fuel, office rent, &c., between the years 1815 and 1827. So that the Government was thus made to pay $3.000 a year eatra for fuel, office rent, d&e., for the territory of Michigan; $1,500 to Governor Cass, and $1,500 to acting Governor Woodbridge at the same time. If Mr. Woodbridge was enti- tled to this additional extra allowance of $1,500 a year, why did he not apply for and receive it atthe time? Because Gov. Cass received it. Why wait twelve or fifteen years, till Gov. Cass is Secretary of War?) And why is this allow. ed by “John Robb acting Secretary of War,” while the allowance of $4,378 61 immediately preceding to G. B. Porter Governor of Michi- gan, and of $1,000 to S. ‘T. Mason, acting Gov. ernor of Michigan, immediately fullowing, are “made by Gen. Cass, Secretary of War?’— (For this charge see page 50.) When Mr. Ritchie explains these mysteries, he will per- haps hear from me again. In conclusion, let me suggest to Mr. Ritchie the propriety of now turnitg his battery of bil- lingsgate and abuse from me upon President Polk and the officers of the ‘Freasury and War Departments, who have taken the task of sus. taining these charges against Gen. Cass off my shoulders. Will he do it? I venture the pre- diction that he will hereafier be silent on this ** Nous verrons.” A. STEWARRT.

One half of the whalebones were gone, and, when it was hoisted, it hung like a wo begone sombre- ro over itsowner. The pitching of it care- lessly into the boat, on sundry occasions, had introduced ill-shaped sky-lights fn its roof; and, taken altogether, it was the sorriest apology for shelter, ever stretched over a sovereign citizen of the United States.

What could be said against such a man? we confidently ask- ed—and we did not wait long for an an- swer. As soon as General Taylor was ascertained to be a whig. and of course not available stock in trade for the Ad- ministration,—and, moreover, when he had begun to be talked of among the peo- ple of all parties for the Presidency, then began the war on the hero of the Rio Grande. His army was whittled down to less than five thousand men to fight its way against President Polk’s favorite San- ta Anna with 20,000; and after he had gloriously succeeded in whipping that chieftain, and winning one of the most brilliant victories in the word’s records, Mr. Polk thought him incompetent to com- mand an army, and so recommended Mr. Senator Benton to Congress to be commis- sioned as Lieut. Genéral over him !— -Thenceforward the batteries of the Ad- ministration presses were opened on the brave old hero, and their abuse flowed upon him in a continued stream. They tried hard to prove him an ignoramous, | liar, a swindler, an imbecile—and evena coward! (Old Zack a coward!

Davis, although avowing that, as a member of the Demoeratic party, he should cast his vote for Cass and Butler in November, paid one of the most thrillingly eloquent compliments to old Rough and Ready, which we ever listen. ed to. He said he had known that great and good old man Jong and well, and had seen him which it was possible for any man to be placed ; ‘but, said he, that man of iron nerve, unbending honesty and devoted patriotism, always proved by the result that he possessed talents equal to every emergency. Col. Davis’s description of ‘the battle scene at Buena Vista was so brilliant and life-like, that we fancied we could see old Zack on the bajtlefield the night after the en- gagement, when, in answer to the importunities of his staff to retire to rest, the old hero replied, he ‘could not think of abandoning the ground, and leave his dead and wounded between him- | self and the enemy.’ ” In alluding to the proceedings of the late Congress, he “referred to the history of the leg- jalation on the subject of the territories, to show that the South must hereafter look to herself for the protection of her rights for, said he, ‘the day has passed when we can any longer rely upon our northern allies to aid us against the efforts of fanaticism.

He was immediately landed from the Spitfire, and on | his way hone, being in the vicinity of this. of- fee, expired. We learn that the physicians in altendance upon Mr. B. state, that he ruptured a blood vessel in his leap—or rather in his fall from one vessel to the other. Mr. Butler, we learn, bad long been impress- ed with the idea that in some way or other he was to lose his life on board the ferry steamer, in which for several years, be has crossed night and morning; and so apprehensive was he on | the subject, that he has been known to remain | on the other side ofthe water repeatedly, rather than cross when the weather was the least threatening. ‘That such an impression. should | have haunted his thoughts, and the end se dp. | prehended should have heen realized, will be | resarded as curious.

Mr. Polk had added largely to our territory, at an immense cost of blood—he had run it in debt probably $200,000.000—and, so far from preserving us from war, at a time when all the world was at peace, he had plunged us into a most bloody and expen- sive one.

A Posthumous Joke.—It is stated of a Venetian, a great humorist, who died some "years since, that he made a provision of torches for his funeral, which he caused to be privately loaded with crackers, and anticipated to a confidential friend the ( hubbub which would result from the ex- /plosion, and which he calculated should take place in the most inconvenient spots. ‘ft is added that the result verified the most sanguine expectations of the projector.

The N. Y. Globe (Van Buren) says, “ The news vesterday threw the suppor- ters of Cass into an attitude of consterna- tion and despair. The most favorable tel- egraphic despatch they received was— * There is hope that Longstreth is elected by a meagre majority.” the chances for Cass are utterly hopeless. Most earnestly do we wish we could make the same re- mark in relation to the chances of Tay- lor.” Those who have read Domby & Son— and who that reads has not ?—will re- member the incident where little Flor- ence was enticed off by an ugly woman, who robbed her of her fine clothes, and cut off her beautiful hair. The Journal of Commerce records a similar incident which occurred in New York. On Wed- nesday last a child about three years old, playing in front of the house where she lived, was enticed away by a grown up girl in poor apparel. who said she would take her to see her aunt, and give her some candy. The child was soon missed by the pa- rents who inquired of the neighbors, and found that some of them had seen the girl leading the child away. This, of course made them very anxious and induced a vigorous search; but no trace was found of the lost one till evening, when she was brought to the city rendezvous of lost chil dren by a woman who said she had found her nearly naked in the street. The wo- man went immediately away, and has not been seen since. The child says that the girl took her through a hundred streets into a house, where she took off her clothes and then turned her intothe street.— Bal. tumore Patriot.

About five hundred Swiss landed on the beach, gained possession of a small re- doubt at the entrance of the town, but they were driven out of it with a loss of SINS oftheir men killed. The small column nevertheless retired in good order. At this moment the enthusiasm of the Messinese became unrestrained, and theiy shouts uf victory reached the ships in the roadstead. Several of their chiefs went on board the French ship Hercule, and their ex- ultation was-so great that nothing less than a terrible conflict could be expected. During the 6th the cannovede became hotter and hotlter.— The citadel kept up an incessant shower of $ Upon the city, making great ravages, and ti PeGst exasperated among the Messinese be. t be discouraged, and the same evening a preat humber took refuge on board the French did’ English ships of war. Inthe morning of the 7th all order and contidence was at an end; doubt aad uncertainty prevailed, and the cause ofindependence sank. A capitulation was pro. posed. Captain Nonay, of the Hercule, and far ia Robb, of the Englisi steam frigate Mig, hastened to offer their mediation, but were unable to bring General Pilangiera, com- mander-in-chiefofthe Neapolitves, and the del. eg@tes from the Messines., to an understand. ings Fhe cannonsde which had tor the mo. ment been suspended, was resumed, and be- came more tremendous than on the preceding day. ‘Phe army was landed, and the steamers ran into the port to support iis operations. In a few more ininutes the Neapolitans were in the town, and took possession of all the forts witbout having to fire a shot. On the 8h the Beng ceased, anu ull was caim. fhe country around presented the aspect of desolation, and several quarters of the town were on fire. A very large portion of the population—more than wt thotrsand persons of all aves and both sexes —sought refuge on board the Hereule, Panama, and Bulldog. Numerous fimilies went into the country. The pen refuses to trace the horrors enunitted on beth sides. ‘Phere were aciual- yacts of cannibalism ; bodies were seen cut up into pieces, roasted, and eaten! All the Neapolitan army bad landed and taken posses- sion of Messina, which naturally becomes the basis of operations. We learn that the great- eg number of persons who had taken refuge on board the French and English ships atthe mo. ment of the taking of Messina have returned. Those who are most compromised, about two bundged in number, will be conveyed to other tis of Sicily. A telegraphic despateh from Messina of the 9th states that the fire, which had broken out in different parts of the town, has heen extitignished, that order has been re- stored, and property respected. Meluzzw is stated to have given in its submission.” & Paris letter of Septeanber 21, published in the New York ‘Iribune, has the following ac. count of the above events: Phe destruction of Messina is one of the most heroic, desperate, an! bloody affairs that ever occurred in wars of independence, ‘The Neopalitan furces bombarded the city for five days, and on the 5:h and 6h of September at- tempted te carry it by storm, but were repulsed. though the discbarges from the citadel, which haz throughout been held by the troops of Fe dimand, were incessant and terrific, and were aided by the mortars and cannon of the fleet. and the entrenchments without the walls. On the 7h, with their city alinost in ruins, the Messineso allempted to negotiate an armistice ; bet faithful to the spirit of the peopie. the lead- ers would not accept the conditions that the Neapolitan commander offered. On the 8b, @ tinal assanit took place; the majority of the jababitants Kad Jeff the city the night before, daly the fighting men remained to resist to the last moment. The Sicilians beld their posi. tiens. most gallantly, and retreated GBohtiny.— The Neapolitans entered the city, which was Jittle more than a mass of ruins already. As tg defenders withdrew from street! to street, in- domitable in the midst of their battered and smoking homes, they set fire to what was lefi undestroyed. Their antagonists followed them int a G~arier of the city which had suffered the least. in the bombardment, when suddenly a mighty explosion, like an earthquake, complet. ed’ the ruin, and buried in one destruction the Seuvoing edifices pf Messina and thousands of Bo Werceuaries of the tyrant. The city had Leen conquered, but in its stead the conquerors held only a blackened and worihle-3 mass of de vstatinn. 8 To this sturggle T yrieve to say that outrages vere committed by some of the defenders of Uberty which should not have stained so heroic wresisiance. Weought up to the extremest fa- matical hatred of the assailants, a portion of the Most igiorant class of the population mutilated Bytes of the falleu Neapolitans, carried , ipiheads on pikes through the streets, and perpetrated other hurrible excesses which at stety a moment the udthorities were unable to preyeat.

If we’ve but a word to say, There’s a time in which to say it.” | | | | | Has the reader never noticed cases in. whichan individual withthe best intentions | has attempted to admonish an acquain- | tance or a child, and yet by harsh Jan- | guage, of a rash and petulant manner ir- ritated and provoked, rather than soothed and reformed ? Some one has said that | in the minds of men, there is, always. has been, and elways will be, some differ- | ence of opinion as to what is trae—but | every one knows and feels what is kind.” Thus when an individual attempts to ad- mouish or advise, the truth may be sta- ted in direct and unequivocal terms ; and | yet because of the harshness of tone in/ whieh it is utterred, it may seem or sound like falsehood. or at least fail to touch, subdue and produce a proper impression. Let us bring the matter home to ourse! ves. Suppose that we had committed seme er- ror, bad uttered some thoughtless word. had insulted or offended in some rash mo ment,—and suppose also, that a friend, an equal, knowing the fact, should come to Dist us, and in the spirit of a censor and a su- | perior, not to say a tyrant, sbould harsbly | reproach us and vehemently urge an apo- logy. What, in all probability, would be the result? Our blood would rise, our passions would kindle, our prejudices would become excited, and thus the diffi- | culty would be increased, rather than di- minished or healed. And yet, the same admonition conveyed to us in a kind and affectionate manner, would at once soothe, satisfy and lead to a full and final adjust- ment. And so again, with parents and children. In the multitude of cases, a kind reproof will have far more effect. than a harsh one; and for the very best. reason, the beart can be moved more rea- dily than the will We have in the world many persons who are fond of giving advice to their fiiends—who seek out opportunities to volunteer counsel. oaenanegynts rene tener - Sg heist eT in be | stream will bedopared J ness be substituted ness afid persuasion for vislence and pas- sion ? . « Oft unknowingly the tongue.

They are apt todo tar more harm than good, for they are. tond of scandal, and delight in exaggera- tion. © There isa time for all things,” and there is a manner for all things.— Many offend * more from want of thought than of feeling.” Their hearts are right, wads rons le attempt ing to soothe, they irritate. The very subjects they should avoid, they introduce. It they desire to conceal a matter. they are sure to disclose it by some abrupt or incautious Expression, peculiar to them- selves. There is indeed no task more delicate than that of an adviser. Human nature is so constituted that many persons who are guilty of some er- ror or Weakness, fancy that it is a secret to all the rest of mankind. Thus. the drunkard in the early stage, may be seen Lat echeoie L are ghding into some obscure hotel, as if the. world knew nothing of bis habit, and he would be extremely abashed to encounter a friend on hisegress. And yet his very look may betray his infirmity to all) who | possess ordinary intelligence. Converse with him too, and you will find him a steady advocate of temperance. He la- bors under one of two illusions—either | that he is not intemperate, and that there | is no danger of his becoming so, or that | he has so managed the indulgence of his habit. that few even of his best friends know it, Talk to such aman in a harsh spirit—urge him with any degree of dic- tation to abandon his habit, and the ehnn- ces are ten to one that he will eet into a rage, deny that he is addicted to the vice in any degree whatever, and from that moment regard you as an enemy. But act discreetly, bide your time, seek for an opportunity when his heart and his confi- dence are open, and then deal with him gently and generously, and the effect will be salutary. We could refer to dozens of cases in- which harshness by parents, well meant but misjudged, has maddened their chil- dren and sent them abroad into the world reckless, embittered and desperate. And When once a parent’s roof has been left under such circumstances. when the heart has been sourcd, and all the better feel- ings of the inexperienced nature into wormword and gall—who can wonder at fearful results? The young know but little of the world. They fancy that it is quite an easy thing to wrestle with and ‘overcome its temptations and its trials.— They offen misunderstand and misean- eecive. They often regard as tyranny a policy meant for their good, and having its source in a lively interest for their per- manent welfare, It is thus that they re- quire, not only indulgence, but wise, cau- tious and kindly treatment. A word—a harsh word. has sometimes sent a sensi- tive son froin the parental hearth and household—has induced him foolishly, blindly, madly to believe that he was ha- ted at home, and has thus made him his OWN Worslenemy. Errors, too, admitted and serious errors, are sometimes punished too severely.— Blows are given where words would an- /swer a better purpose. The body is struck at when the heart should be appealed to. be ob 66 “ os — WHIG ELECTORS. 1—Kenneth Rayner. Edward Stanly. Henry W. Miller. W. H. Washington. George Davis. John Winslow. John Kerr.

The land is ex- cellent, and as to water-power, it is one of the best sites in all the Southern country for Mills and Factories of all descriptions. its location is in the centre of the best grain-growing region in all N. Carolina, and is conven- ient to inexhaustible supplies of superior iron ore. The power is sufficient to propel any number of Mills or oth- er Factoyies.

Will the Cheraw Gazette, tell us how jt happens, that brown sugar is selling in that Market at 9a 11 cents, and loaf at 15 a 17% cts. perlb. when our merchants here, for the last 18 months have been ling those articles, the one at from 6 to 8 cts., and the other at from 9 to 11 ?— Why we can buy at any one of the seven s in Salisbury, a fine article of brown garat 7cts.; and for 9 cls. we can ommand the very best,—as fair and ong and clean, as was ever sold here any time. And loaf sugar is sold daily at 10 and 11 cts. per Ib. The Merchants of Fayetteville have lately improved on bis score. They are now selling at 6 a And erily, we think they can afford it very well, considering the fact that they have boat co:nmunication ing on an average for all qualities of brown, at 6 cts., and loaf at 10 a 114.— But at Charlotte, we find the prices are high again; for there, these articles are quoted at, for brown 9, and for loaf 16a 18 Of course we have no right, and do not pretend, to complain of these differen- ces. But tosugar buyers it isa fact worth knowing, and as we suppose there is not a single reader of the Watchman who does not buy more or less in the course of a year, it is for them that we give this in- formation. It is intended to direct their attention to this subject. But this is not all: If our Merchants can afford to sell these heary articles at 0 small a profit, can they not afford to sell other and lighter articles at a small profit also? Jt is most true that they can, and What is equally true, they do tt. If any one, whether in the east or west doubts this fact, let them come and test it. They will find it strvngely true—but neverthe- Jess ‘true; and what is equally strange and true is the fact, that they don’t break ait; but rather seem to fatten !—some low or some other how instead of grow- g weak, they at least appear to be grow- bg stronger and stronger; and every year Witnesses an extension of their operations. We have no interest—not a particle— in making these statements: Mean by them a more extended votice of a hut only fact which is already notorious in this re- Bion of country for many miles around. A PATRIOT. Harrison Gray Oris, well known throughout the entry aga man of rare abilities, in a recent address to the people of Massachusetts, used the following lan- Trage : It is farther seriously objected that Gen. Taylor is a Warehaider,. Fhis objection comes about 60 years too te. It was disposed of in substance by the original ticles of confederation, and annulled, in form, by the itution of the United States. The Northern States Were glad enough to avail themselves of the co-opera- of the South, in their struggle for independence, and, “no questions asked.” Not less thankful were they to cement the incipient alliance by a most solemn Pempact, expressly recognizing their right to property in their slaves, and engaging to protect it—treating with &$ proprietors of slaves, as our equals in all re- Mette, and eligible of consequence to all offices under the Constitution. What would have been the fate of a Motion in that glorious assembly which formed the Con- om, ar those who might have made it—George Washington Present—to declare a slaveholder ineligible ¥e any office under it? I well remember the adoption *Ethe Censtitation by my fellow-citizens of this State, When Hancock, muffled in red baize, was brought into Convention to sign the ratification. The evening weceding, a demonstration in favor of the measure was Made in the streets of Boston, by an assemblage favor- Mle to it, whose members, Paul Revere assured Samu- Adams, were like the sand of the sea shore, or like stars in heaven. * The unbounded joy of the people on this oceagion Barlores only by the fear that the Southern States ‘ some into the league. Never can I forget when the beicony of the City Hall in New York, Wash- : » the slaveholder, as if an angel dropped from the 8, came forth and took the tah ie support the Con- Wtion, No one can describe the silent, tearful ecsta- ? which pervaded the myriads who witnessed that CAROL.Y A WATCHMAN.

The Charleston papers contain the proclamation of Governor Johnston of that State, calling an extra session of the Legislature on the first Monday in November, to cast the nine electoral votes of that State for President and Vice President. Gen. Taylor has said: “I have no party purposes to accomplish, no party projects to build up, no enemies to punish, nothing to serve but iny country.” For uttering such noble sentiments, the Locofucos have denounced him with savage ferocity. They regarded partizanship as the essence of patriotism, and proscription of enemies as the highest of political duties. The people differ with them in opinion, and believe in that patriotism which embraces all interests and men of all parties. — They will vote for the true patriot in preference to the narrow-minded partizan—for the candidate whose plat- form is the Constitution, rather than for his opponent whose platform is made up of the resolutions of a mere party convention. (Lv A correspondent in Cabarrus after referring the Editor of the Charlotte Journal to the notice of Gaston H. Wilder, in the Register, says: “ You may state that he told the same lie in the pub- lic streets of Concord, on the 10thinstant. He paid off (I believe) only two claims for “extra pay” in this county, amounting to $42, and remained three days at the expense of “ Uncle Sain.” No public notice was given of his arrival here. Can this be any thing else but paying men to electioneer for the party in power? No wonder the minds of the Volunteers were at one time poisoned against Gen. 'Tavlor by such men as Pen- der, Wilder et id genus amne.” Tue Harvest Yrr.—The Salisbury Watch. man has more than once talked as though it be- lieved that Mr. J. Clarke had actually proved too hard for Hon, Chas. Fisher at Gold Hill, and that the Democrats had run him off on that ac- count, ‘That Mr. Clarke should make any thing in a discussion with Mr. Fisher, is too | ridiculous to be contradicted, and the truth of the matter, as we have been informed, is that Mr. Clarke really spoke an hour and a half af. ter starting for filleen minutes. It is also cer- tain that any interruption came quite as much from his own party as the Democrats. We learn that he was quite appropriately answered by Capt. John U. Vogler.— Char. Jeffersonian. Not so ridiculous as you might imagine ! We know both the gentlemen—have heard them on repeated occasions ; and although we readily admit that Mr. Fisher enjoys the largest fame as a public debater, yet itis no reason that he should not have been fairly and forcibly met by Mr. Clarke, on the occasion in question. ‘This is all that we pretend; and from good authori- ty we felt authorised to say that Mr. Fish- er flinched and wriggled under the force of Mr. C’s reply. As to the redoubtable Captain, of whom the Jeffersonian speaks, the Editor is wel- come to say and think what he pleases— those who know the parties reserving to themselves the equal privilege of passing upon “appropriately” of the eulogy, as also the eulogist. POOR MR. BUCHANAN. Never was mortal oficeholder more roundly condemn- ed, denounced, and abused by his own political friends than James Buchanan, Secretary of State has been since Thursday last. On that day, about noon, a despatch came to him, by telegraph, from Harrisburg, stating that Longstreth was ascertained to be elected Governor of Pennsylvania by a majority of 1500 votes! ‘The betting officeholders quickly got possession of the Buchanan news, and they believed it, for it had come from the right men at the right point, to a great Govern- ment functionary! Away they went—and away went their money, in bets of various amounts! The next day, the Buchanan despatch was found to be untrue entirely. It was ascertained to have been the work of a fancy man, who holds an office but lacks po- litical judgment. He had sent the despatch to please Mr. Buchanan ! And now that officer and Mr. Buchanan are catching curses, from their political friends, a little faster, louder, and deeper than any recen'ly heard in this quarter. Washington City Battery, Oct. 10. COUNTERFEITER ARRESTED. A man who gives his name as Collins Smith, and says he lives in Floyd County, Georgia, though a native of Spartanburg District, S, C. was arrested near this place on last Thursday, charged with havi: g passed Counterfeit Money. He passed through this village and exchanged seven dollars of his spurious coin with one of our grocery keepers, but had not been gone long be- fure the fraud was discovered, and he pursued and apprehended. A portion of his counterfeit. ing implements were found in his pocket and a small quantity of the base metal he used, in his saddle- bags. that building, and the first one it has had fora long time. Our County, it seems, would have little or no use for a prison, Were it not for con. fining rascals who come amongst us from other quarters—or else, like the printers, it cannot get its dues. ‘The seven dollars which Smith exchanged here, are imitations of the Spanish dollar, and da- ted 1816, though the stamp found in his pocket is engraved with 1818, which makes it probable that he bas diflerent stamps ; and itis quite like. ly he may be connected with a gang of regular. ly organized swindlers.

GEN. TAYLOR’S PRINCIPLES. The Locofvco Press, with an amiable gene- | rosily profess to be very solicitous Jest the | Whigs may he deceived about General Tay- | lor’s principles. ‘They say he has not declared | himselfa Bank man, or a Tariff man, or an In. | ternal Improvement man, &c., and that, for all he has yet said on these subjects, he may be a thorough. going Locofoco—he may rat like John | Tyler, and make up a Cabinet exclusively of, \ We pass by the very obvious suggestion, that ifthe old General were not a Whig, he would most probably have been nominated by our op- | ponents; and that if they really thought him a! disguised Democrat, they would be very unlike. | ly to rouse our suspicions about it—and we proceed to consider the truth of the allegations. What do we mean by political principles 7— We mean the rules of morality, the dictates of : justice, honesty and good faith appliedto the af- fairs of government, and the conduct of public business. We know that others seem, by their conduct, to mean a different thing. Jobn Ran. dolph said of the venerable’—the old and ex- perienced editor of the Union—that “ his prin. ciples were the five loaves and two fishes.’””— We express no opinion on this delicate point— “non nostrum, &c.” But the extraordinary changes which he has exhibited, corresponding invariably with the turns and eddies ofthe pop- , ular current, might lead some countenance to | the charge. Now, Mr. Ritchie may be the exponent, to /some extent, of the principles—not of his party | . | did judgment :—Nat. Intelligencer. atlarge, the rank and file voters—but of the leading men who manage conventions, make up political issues, conduct the canvass in elections, and “ divide the spoils” when they succeed.— Evidently Mr. Secretary Marcy has learned at his feet, or they have both graduated in the same school. But to return to Gen, Taylor and the Whig principles. According to our definition, we hold Whig principles tou be these— 1. That Governinent is instituted for the com. mon good—emanates from the common author. ity—and exists by the common consent—of the people. 2. That, as it is impossible for the people to legislate in person, by reason of their numbers, they must make laws, through their represen. tatives, elected by themselves fur a limited time ; and responsible to them for their conduct. 3. That an executive head being necessary for the administration of the Government, this unavoidable delegation of power to one man; shall be limited and confined by every restric- tion, consistent with an efficient discharge of the executive functions. 4. ‘That the will of the people, as expressed in the laws passed by their Representatives in Congress, ought to be carried into effect, in al- most every conceivable case, for the simple rea- son that it ts their will, expressed through their representatives, in the mode provided by the Constitution, 5. That the power of the veto, confided to the President, is intended only for extreme and exigent cases—for cases, in which the legisla- ture might attempt to break down and destroy the executive department, or might pass impro- per laws through inadvertent haste, or corrupt design. 6. ‘That the abuse of the veto, for the purpose ofarresting legislation, not of this character of legislation, deliberately entered into, after ma- ture consideration—warranted by numerous precedents, approved by the practise of former Presidents and legislatures, and sanctioned by the solemn judgment of the Supreme Court of the United States—is a dangerous and alarming usurpation. 7. That, to sustain such a practice, is to de- feat the great end and aim of Republican Gov. ernment, and, under the specious pretext of a check upon hasty legislation, virtually to trans- fer the power of making laws from the Repre- sentatives of the people to the President alone. 8. ‘That the public offices are created as pub- lic trusts, to be fulfilled for the common good of the people ; not as public spoils, to be distribut- ed among the successful partizans of a faction —and that, to deprive of office a competent and faithful public servant, for no other reason than a difference of political opinion, is an injury to the public interest, and a violation of the true principles of free government. Now these are tbe fundamental principles of the Whig party: to these Gen. Taylor has une. quivocally given his assent, and declared his in- tention to adhere. He has proclaimed that he would have no friends to reward, and no ene- mies to punish—that he would leave the duly of legislation to the representatices of the people, not interposing his veto, unless in cases of man- ifest necessity—and that he would administer the government on the principles respected and observed by the earlier Presidents of the republic. To these principles, tbe so-called Democracy of this day are opposed. For nearly twenty years, their administrations have been progress- ing further in disregarding and violating them ; until they have, as we trust, allained their ccli- max, in the recent assumptions of the power lo make war—to annex territory by conquest—and to establish territorial governments, without the ‘authority, and even without the knowledge, of ‘the people’s represeniatives. ’ be /penditures well worth a careful perusal. contrast between the prodigality of the Demo. As tothe Bank, the Tariff, and the other questions alluded to, these are not principles— | they are measures. T1is true that no measure | ought to be adopted, unless it be constitutional ; - it may or may not he expedient; it may or may not consist with the dictates of sound policy.— | What is expedient and proper one time, may not be so at another. It is for the representa. lives of the people to consider and decide on— these questions. In their hands, where the people have reposed the trust, Gen. Taylor de- { oe ° . . clares his intention to leave it—and with that ‘declaration, for our own part, we are entirely / content, FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE. One of the best tests by which to try the merit of an Administration—under whatever form of Government—is the amount and char. | acter of its expenditures ; and one of the most incumbent duties of the citizen is to watch vig. | ilantly that branch of the public service. Try- | ing the snccessive Administration of our own Government by this test from its origin down to the present time, the readers of our paper will find the subjoined compendious table of ex. , The cratic dynasty, and the economical expenditures ofthe Administrations which preceded the Dem. | ocralti@ascendency, will strike every one, and, taken in connexion with the forcible remarks with which the article is prefaced in the paper from which we copy it, must teach a wholesome lesson to all who are capable of forming acan. | From the New Bedford Mercury. I deem it important to call your attention to the following exposition and statistics ofexpen- ses of our Government, taken from the journal | of Congress for every Administration, com. | mencing with George Washington’s and con. | cluding with James K. Pulk’s. It will be found correct, with the exception of the expenditures under President Polk’s administration, which are probably under-estimated at least some. $50,000,000. it being stated on competent au- thority that the Mexican war cost us two hun. dred and fifty millions of dollars, instead of two hundred millions of dollars, which is the amount placed in the schedule below. By giving Mr. Polk the benefit of $50,000,000, still, it will be observed, the increase of the expenses of Gov- ernment have become tremendous. What is very remarkable, and yet true and beyond contradiction, is, that every Locofoco | Administration has cost and taxed the people ofthis Union vastly more than either of the Whig Administrations. ‘Thus it will be found that the whole expenditures of Whig Govern. ments, commencing with Washington and end- ing with J. Q. Adams, during a period of forty years, (and be it remembered the expenses of the Revolution, much of them were paid under Washington’s government, and all the charges occurring in consequence of the last war with Great Britain, in Mr. Madison’s,) the Locofoco governments, commencing with General Jack- son’s and terminating with Mr. Polk’s, a period of twenty years, are run up to the enormous sum of THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN MIL- LIONS SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO THOUSAND AND FORTY-SEVEN DOLLARS, over and above the Whig governments for forty years !—a sum sufficient to have made internal improvements, deepening harbors and rivers of the West and South, and building piers forthe harbors on the lakes and seaboard, to an extent that would have been for all time to come of immense benefit to our country ; a sum sufficient to have educated millions of poor children and placed school houses inevery city, town, and village, and paid for teachers for many years. It is of vital impor- tance to every friend of his country to probe this subject to the hottom, and ask why is it, and who has caused this exorbitant expendi- ture of national treasure?

This gentleman, whose conservative views on the subject of the institution of Slavery, by no means suit those in whose eyes no man is altogether lovely, but a ~ Northern man with Southern principles,” is assailed quite as bitterly at home by the Abolitionists and Barnburners, as he is here by Mr. Francis E. Rives and the Richmond Enquirer. We beg leave to ‘call the attention of our readers to two or three passages from an editorial that ap- peared a week ago in a paper published _at Utica, styled “ The Liberty Free Press,” which fights under the flag of Van Buren and Adams: “The Slave Power shows no quarter. Not satisfied with securing to itself the nomination at Philadelphia, of a man who owns 300 slaves, lives on the banks of the Mississippi, and raises 1200 bales of cot- ton, it has demanded and obtained the deg- _tadation of the man who was placed on the Presidential ticket to appease the a- roused spirit of the free states. Millard Fillmore has bowed his neck to the _ yoke, and now grinds in the prison house | _of the southern pbilistines.” | Pretty good, this, for a beginning ! These sentiments, it will be recollected. 1840, Southern Locofocoism was willing to trust on the subject of Slavery. The Whigs told them at the time, that he was not trustworthy; but they would not heed them. Now, they have found the truth of the matter, with a vengeance. But let us go on: « But, the humiliation of Fillmore does not stop here.—A few weeks since, some Richmond (Va.) friends” wrote to Brooks, of the New York Express, to inquire if Fillmore believed in the power of Con- gress to abolish the inter-state slave trade, or held extreme opinions on the subject of slavery. Without waiting to consult Fillmore, Brooks replied to the Virginians, indignantly denying that he held any such opinions as to the power of Congress, on the subject of slavery gen- erally. Brooks then informs Fillmore of | what he had done ; under date of Sept. | 13th, the latter replies approving of his course, and says among other things, | “You will therefore perceive, that you did me no injustice in representing to your friends that these were my sentiments.” “Poor degraded Fillmore! He bites the dust and lets the Southern Jugger- naut grind over him. He denies the power of the Federal Govenrnment to touch slavery in the District, or the slave trade between the States !” This ferocious trade, our readers will recollect is brought about by a very sim- ple occurrence. A gentleman in this ci- ty, finding that it was the intention of the Southern Locofoco press to represent Mr. Fillmore in the South as an Aboli- tionist, on the ground of a letter written ten years ago—knowing perfectly well that the accusation was unjust. and be- lieving that those who assailed him knew as much likewise—wrote to a personal friend in New York, to ascertain what were Mr. F.’s views opon one point—the internal slave-trade. That friend address: ed Mr. F. on the subject, and received in re- ply, a letter. in which the writer defines his position. Based, as it is, upon the Constitution and the laws, and guarded by the highest judicial authority in the land, it is absolutely inexpugnable.—lIt is consistent with the opinions of all the great lights of the Law and the Constitu- tion, whether of the North or of the South. For this opinion, the mad and paricidal spirit, which would impel the Union for- ward in the career of destruction, expands itself in the unsparing denunciation of Millard Fillmore. Because he is not a man whose enlarged and Jiberal mind can comprehend and embrace at once all the interest of the confederation, he is ac- cused of “ biting the dust.” and is assailed with epithets which should properly be confined to the thief and the murderer. “ Poor degraded Fillmore We ask ev- ery man of common feeling, or the most ordinary sense of propriety, be he a Whig or Democrat, does not his sense of jus- tice revolt at the application of such gross terms, to such aman.

Fellow citizens, the press which makes this atrocious assault upon Millard Pyl- more. for his conservative opinions upot the subject of Slavery, is, as we have ab ready said, devoted to the interest of that man whom, eight years ago, you were asks ed to vote for, because he was “a Norths ern man with Southern principles.” You have another one of the same sort now before you, and they offer him to you eq the very precise grounds on which they offered his predecessor.

Several years since, the inhabitants of Lower Lyme, having lost their minister, found much difficulty in settling another—rore, perhaps, ' because in that section, they are settled for life —making it very important that both members of the church aud society should be well united in the selection. Many candidates preached their three trial sermons, and several gave very general satisfaction ; Lut whenever a meeting was convened fur the purpose of giving a fur. mal call, its unanimity was always destrozed by a store-keeper in the place by the name of Huntley. Having considerable influence, he kept up the discord unti! many gave up the idea of ever having another settled minister. Hew. ever, one more caudidate offered, and alter preaching very acceptably several Sabbaths, another meeting was called in the church, te see what could be done. Old Deacon Lord was early on the spot, but no other person baving - arrived, the deacon, wearied with the Jabors of the day, retired to one of the corners most dis- tant from the desk, where he remained undis. covered. Iu the meantime, the meeting wae organized, several motions made, and several resvlutions offered and carried, aud all preseat seemed to fancy theinselves once more under stated and regular preaching, as in days of old, under their own vine and fig trees, with none to molest, when Huntley suddenly made his ap- pearance, and commenced a speech, by express- ing himself pleased with the harmony and good feeling which seemed to exist, but insisted that as it was a matter of much importance, much deliberation was necessary ; for his part he wished to pursue a prudent course ; they could hardly judge of a man’s usefulness by hearing three or four of bis picked sermons, aod ag usual, produce an unfavorable impression. Ou taking his scat, all seemed struck dumb; when, providentially, the chairman discovered Deacon Lord apparently asleep. He immediately eall. ed out, * Deacon Lord you should be at your post, instead of dreaming there in the corner, and help us in our difliculues.” The deacon replied that be was indeeddreame ing, and as his dream had reference to the state of things then existing, he would relate it— He dreamed that he was taken sick, and died, and that he went directly to bell. He had nos long been in that place of woe, when he was accosted by Satan himeelf, with what! what! Deacon Lord, are you here? ‘Things bave been guing on very well for me lately, in Lower Lyme. How wag it when you left?” The deacon replied, that when be lefi, a meeting was in session, and there was every prospect of at last settling a minister with much una. nimity. His majesty much surprised at this ine formation, turned suddenly to an imp near bir and said: ** Dick! Dick! bring me my black horse, saddle, bridle, and martingale. I must go to Lower Lyme at once; but hold! Deae con, was my friend Huntley at the meeting!” “ He came in,” replied the Deacon, just ag I left.” “You need‘nt go then, Dick. If Huntley’s there, he'll du just as well as [ could myself.” Huntley took bis bat and Jett the tneeting.— The minister, who was settled over the church, has proved a very useful man, and, fur aught we know, is preaching there yet.

From the New York Tribune. SHIP YARDS AND SHIP BUILDING. _Atis a remarkable fact, not generally known, that there is not a sailing vessel on the stocks in this city, with the excep tion of a pilot boat. We believe this to be an unpreceden'ed circumstance. The present appears to be a sort of transition period with navigation. Otd Bolus, amid the revolutionary storms which have af- fected other potentates has not escaped. | He has been deposed from his unlimited despotism and the Genii of Hot Water have usurped hisdominion. Our naviga- tors are no longer disposed to depend up- on the propulsion of the variable and of ten adverse winds, but confining in the bowels of their noble ships, a groaning struggling monster, feeding on coals and belching flames, they force it to labor un- ceasingly, and thus outstrip the fleetest of the fleet. The tall, graceful spars, the delicate tracery of rigging. and the white swelling sails, which render a ship one of the most beautiful objects of art are to be displaced for the stunted masts, the black belching chimney and the huge paddle- hoases of a steamer. The dulce has yield- ed to the utile, but although the imagina- tive lover of the beautiful may regret the Joss of such a charming object as a ship under full sail, the utilitarian will rejoice at the progress which brings the nations of the world into a nearer brotherhood. There are now steamers on the stocks inyour ship-yards. which will compete in every quality with the crack boats of the Cunrad Line, the Niagara, the America and the Europa, and yet it is but a few years since there was an American sea oing steamship afloat. Our progress in this enterprise has been exceedingly ra- pid, until we have excelled the models we had in the English steamships, as we long ngo excelled the English in sailing ves- sels. It is but a few years since the Sirus entered our harbor, settling the much moot- ed question, “Can steamships cross the Atlantic?” and already we havea week- ly arrival from the other side of the water of English steamers, and quite a fleet of sea steamers of ourown. ‘Ihe Washing- ton, the Hermann. the United States, the Crescent City, the Falcon, the Northerner and Southerner, all tostily to the facility with which American enterprise seizes a new avenne to wealth, and the skill with which our merchants work it to complete success. In addition to the above named boats, which are all afloat, the capitalists of our country, assisted measurably by the patronage cf the Post Office De part- ment, have projected lines of steamers to almost every quarter of the Globe, and are carrying out these projects with the ener- gy and go abead-ativeness which charac- terises our countrymen. Such is the ra- pid advance of the steam mania, that in a few years it will probably be considered as preposterous for passengers to go to any part of the world ina sailing vessel, as it would be now to go to Albany in a Hudson River sloop. A great revolution has been, certainly, going on in the facil- | ities for travel, and the land has too long monopolised the improvements in speed. er advance in the art of building both bulls and engines will probably re- duce the time occupied in crossing the Atlantic toa week, when the tourist or the man of business may almust circum- navigate the globe in the same time for- merly occupied by an European voyage. The most gigantic enterprise for estab- lishing a steamship line which has yet been broached in this country, is that pro- jected by Mr. E. K. Collins, well known as the builder and owner of the Dramatic Line of Liverpool Packets, and as one of our most energetic and successful mer- chants. His project involves the building of five immense ships of 2.900 tons bur- den each ; costing when ready for sea an aggregate of two millions five hundred thousand dollars. This line will carry the United States Mail between New York and Liverpool. Two of these ships are on the stocks, one at Wm. H. Brown’s yard and one at Jacob Bell's. The ships wre to be named Atlantic. Pacitic, Adri- atic, Arctic and Baltic. The two which are on the stocks will probably be launch- ed in December, and go to sea late next Summer. These boats will eust $500.000 each ; the cost of the engines being 8225,- 0090. The length of these ships is 290 feat, depth of hold 31 feet, breadth of beam 46 feet. The model varies trom other steamships, in having less floor, and being sharper. The frames are as strong as wood, iron and copper and skill can make them. The timbers are bound and interlocked in every possible way to resist the racking occasioned by the immense weight and power of the engines. Beside being ooaged with locust throughout, iron bars five inches wide and one inch thick are placed obliquely, at intervals of four feet, trom stem to stern, and from stern to stem, crussing each other diagonally. and enclosing the whole frame in a perfect net-work of ‘iron. Fifty tons of these bars ate.ueed up for each ship. Mr. Collins is the first who bas introduced this improve- eS RC AT AOE AP of avaies are Pjpivehes: thick and jogged inte-the timbers 14 inthes..

The Siddons cost | | Liverpool packets established in 1817, and | one of the steamers now being built by | ~Mr. Collins costs more than the whole | Dramatic Line, of which the Siddons was | pjist,ict No. one. ' At Wm. H. Brown's yard there is also | on the stocks the frame of a steamer in- ‘tended te run in conjunction with the Crescent City in Howard's line to Havana. and New Orleans. She will measure 1600 tons, 228 tvet keel, 40 feet beam. 24 feet hold. ‘The engines are being built by Secor & Co., and will be of the first class. The Crescent City has been one of the most successful steamers ever launched. and doubtless the line will continue to re- ceive a large share of public patronage. The new boat will probably be ready about Ist April. A steamer of 1250 tons burden, name not decided on, is being built at Wm. H. Webb’s yard for Samuel L. Mitchell's line between New York and Savannah. She will be launched in about three weeks, and will runin conjunction with the Cher- okee, Captain Lyon, which is now on her retarn from her first vovage to Savannah. This line has been established by the cap- italists of Savannah, provoked to it by the success of the Northerner and Southerner, | and we trust it will be successful. |! Connected intimately with steamship building is engine building, and a walk through the Novelty Works gives eviden- ces of great activity. When the writer was there, there were lying at the wharf receiving their engines, the Franklin of 2250 tons, third ship of the Bremen line the California and Oregon of the Panama line, and the Cherokee of the Savannah line.

Aspinwall’s | mail line on the West Coast of America, : from the Isthmus of Darien, where they , connect with the line from this port to Chagres, to the Columbiariver. The first of this line, the California, under the com- | mand of Captain Forbes, sailed on the 6th inst. for her destination. The Oregon will follow in about a month. The engines for the Panama are being built by Allair & Co. These vessels are all first-class ships, strong and last, of 1000 tons burden, and finished in a substantial and comfort- _able manner. this line is completed, the passage from New York to Oregon via Chagres may be made in thirty days. and by the contem- plated line from San Francisco to the Sandwich Islands, when built, the voyage | from this city to the Islands may be made _in 40 days, instead of 180 as at present. The California was built by William HH. Webb, and the Oregon by Smith & Dimon. The double engine of the Franklin is to have a 93 inch cylinder and 8 feet stroke. “She belongs to the Ocean Steam Naviga- tion Company, and is a splendid specimen of naval arcitecture. Westervelt & Mac- kay were her builders. The immense establishment of S:illinan, Allen & Co. employs about 459 men. Its disbursements are $4,000 per week for, Wages, and it uses up 2,500 tons pig and 1,000 tons boiler iron per annum, At Secor & Co’s wharf there are lying the Ohio and the Georgia, belonging to Geo. Law & Co’s New York. Elavana and | Chagres Mail Line. The Ohio was built by Bishop & Simonson, and the Georgia | by Smith & Dimon. A third ship for this | line will be contracted for soon. The en- gines, by Secor & Co. are to be of im-| mense power and will extend the fame of this establishment. The Ohio is 2,500 tons and the Georgia 2,600 tons. They are first class ships in every respect, and Will be finished with that taste combined with elegance, for which Mr. Law is cel. ebrated. ‘Two steamers of about the size of the Crescent City are to be built to ran from Havana to Chagres in connection with this line. Messrs. Secor & Co. are also building the engine for the New World, a steamer built by Messrs. Isaac Newton, Daniel Drew, &e. for the North River. ‘he New World is 361 feet long. being the longest boat ever built. Her engine will have a 70 inch cylinder, and 15 feet stroke, exceeding in this respect any engine ever built in this country. In the fitting up of this boat no expense will be spared to obtain the most luxurious and magnificent results. Jn this respect she will excel the Isaac Newton, built by the same parties, and which, when sent out, was far ahead of anything afloat in point of decorations and equipment. | Twenty-four steamships, of an aggre- galing tonnage exceeding 40.000 tons, have been built or are projected, capable of forming a steam navy, should we be- come involved in a war with any mari- District No. time power, sutlicient to maintain the A- merican flag in triumph on theocean, | At Secor’s wharf is a very ingenious and useful machine-—Bishop’s Lifting | Crane.

The settlements on the Sandys, about~ twenty miles west of this, have been broken ‘up, and Dr. Burnet is supposed to have — been killed. Col. Means arrived to-day from below, and states that Capt.

York, his son and son-in-law, Mr. Bell, are reported as dead, and Capt. Tom- linson as badly wounded. Twelve miles east of this, ou Peach Creek, it is reported ‘the Indians have stolen some horses; a small party has gone in that direction to ascertain the facts; a company has also gone west in pursuit of the Indians who killed Dr. Burnet. Two small parties of Indians have been near this place to-day. About one hundred men have left this riv- er, but they are in detached parties, and some fears are entertained that they met the Indians in two great force to gain any ~~ advantage. Those who remained are EDITORS LOOKING UP. without arms, rendering it impracticable ‘for any additional force to leave.

The mur- | derer had an accomplice to perpetrate the The Insurrection at Vienna. The German mail has brought tidings of another insurrection and revolution in Vienna, which has terminated, like the first, in the defeat of the military and the flight of the Emperor. The signal for the present uprising was given by the at.’ tempts of the Government or the War Minister to remove from the capital cer- tain regiments which had shown sympa- thy with the popular party. The people revented the departure of these regiments, which finally joined them, and, for the first time in the revolutionary events of Ger- many, a body of soldiers were found on the side of insurrection. The Minister of War, Count Latour, has shared the fate of Count Lamberg and the two Zichys; and Vienna was in the possession of the insurgents on the 7th. The honors that ‘have been conferred on the Ban have been revoked, and it is now to be seen whether he will act up to his asserted in- tentions—to replace the Emperor firmly on his throne. His army is nearer Vien- na than Pesth. Vienna October 7.—Two battalions of grenadiers had received marching ord-rs for Hungary: a portion of the men refus- ed to obey. They were therefore escort- ed by aregiment of cuirassiers. As they approached the bridges over the Danube they were received by armed peasantry. who prevented them from proceeding fur- ther, fraternized with them, and commen- ced demolishing the bridges. The nation- al guard arrived, and sided with the mili- tary. The cuirassiers, who could not re- cross the bridge, were obliged to retire. A fight soon ensued between the grena- diers, national guard, and the people on the one side, and a battalion of fusitiers of the Polish regiment of Nassau on the other, supported by troops recently arriv- ed from Prague. The struggle lasted till mid-day in the Leopoldstadt, and then spread to the city, where a division of na- tional guards fought against the students and the country people. Between the hours of four and five in the afiernoon, the Ministry of War, which was only guarded by thirty men, was stormed and ransacked, and the Minister of War, Count Latour, murdered in the most barbarous manner by stabs in the t owner of the rancho, whose suspicions spot where the body of Porras was bur- ried. The body having been dug out, it | was found that the skull had been frac- tured by blows inflicted with clubs. The ITerald says the authorities were diligent- adds that in the same week the bodies of four persons, murdered in the neighbor- hood, had been carried to that place. A meeting of delegates from the neigh- boring towns has been recently held in Menclova, to devise sufficient means of | carry against them, in their own strong- holds, aggressive war, which alone, it is_ deemed, will put a stop to their hostile in- cursions. The Government of Coahuila has appropriated a sum of $300 for the purpose ; but that sum being deemed in- sufficint by the meeting, additional funds are to be collected from contributors.— The organization of a force to consist of 800 men. well mounted and armed, is con- templated. A letter from Parras, mentioned in the Herald of Saltillo. says that a gang of thirteen robbers, under the disguise of In- dians, had been attacked in the vicinity of Aguachila, by the inhabitants of that place and that three of the band were killed and several wounded.

A description of a few ofthe principal events of my wrial tour may not be altogether uninter- esting to the public; besides, the publication will serve to re-assure my frieuds at a distance in regard to my personal safety. I severed the rope that connected my erial car and vessel with the earth at 50 minutes be- fore five o’clock P. M., and ascended moderate. ly (it being almost a calm) towards the south. west. My progress in passing over the cily was very slow; and in consequence the usual view ofthe Aerouant was prolonged. Indeed, for several minutes afier I had arisen to the dia. | tance of about a halfa mile there appeared not to be the least progression forward of the Bal- loon. ‘The principal streets, buildings and parks could be accurately traced out and were all seen at one view, from the Battery to the upper part of the city, and from the North to the East Riv. ers. The surrounding city and villages many miles in the country were also visible at the same moment. As | rose higher and passed over the wes. | tern extremity of Long Island. IT appeared to be taking an easterly course ; I afterwards struck a current that moved ime slowly towards the Jersey shore. [ had now attained my greatest ‘altitude, off Rockaway, 20 miles from New York, and furmed the project of crossing the sea to Sandy Hook or Squam Beach, a distance of about 15 miles. The view at this time, though distant, was intensely interesting ; Long Island and through its whole extent appeared to be four or five miles long; the broad ex. panse of ocean was before me, and the cities and country had become very diminutive in ap- pearance. Considering that I should not be able to land from that height for some time and as it was near sunset, | determined to approach nearer the earth. IT therefore opened the valve and al- lowed a sufficient quantity of gas to escape to secure a descei.ding motion. I had descended less than half'a mile when, to my astonishment, I found that my course was no longer towards Sandy Hook, but directly towards the broad At. lantic Ocean. I discharged ballast and again ascended in hopes of finding a current that would again carry me towards the shore ; but to no purpose. My position was a critical one, but I thought my chances of safety were in favor of dropping into the water, and running the risk of being picked up. As I came down [| saw the Light Ship about five miles to my right, (facing the ocean) and a schooner up towards the harbor. I was being rapidly carried out to sea, | thought fit todescend as fast as possible ; when Istruck the water a little afier sun-set in a standing posture, | went down up to my arms. A flaw of wind, at the samme moment, carried the balloon almost to the water, turning the car onits side, and completely immersing me in water. When the balloon again arighted itself, [ stood knee deep and more in the water, and although both my anchors were out, I was carried away before the wind at the rate of about ten knots an hour. I was, at first, in hopes that I might be seen by some vessel which would come to my assis- tance; but as the curtains of night shrouded everything in darkness, and nothing was to be seen but the distant Sandy Hook and Light Ship, | began to despair. At every flaw of wind the balloon was carried over on its side, immersing me in water, and letting oul gass.— I found myself gradually sinking into the water, when it became necessary to let my anchors go one afier the other, and then to cut away the cloth lining of the car and everything that could be spared. I had been in the water more than an hour and a half, and it now came up under my arms ; the balloon tottered, and threatened to fall al- together on its side; [ was completely chilled through, and had said my prayers for nearly the last time, when I thought [ heard the dis. tant sound of oars.

Is William Smith O’Brien guilty or ‘aot guilty 7” After a considerable lapse of time, the foreman, in a low, suppressed murmum pronounced ‘Guilty.’ Tears might be seen and sobs heard in every part of the court Mr. O'Brien alone maintained a coms posed aspect, and acknowledged the ver- dict by slightly inclining his head to the jury. The foreman of the jury essayed to sa something, but his self possession seeriict to fail him, and he said, in a harsh wndeg tone to the Clerk of the Crown, ‘ Mr..Ped- der, can’t you read the rest 7’ The Clerk then read from the paper what follows: ‘We earnestly recommend the prison? er to the merciful consideration of the Government, the jury being unanimously of the opinion that, for many reasons, ‘his life should be spared.’ The Clerk of the Crown then resumed his seat, and for about five minutes an unbroken silence prevailed, the eyes ef all being fixed on the calm, self- possessed countenance of the prisoner. At length, Chiet Justice Blackburn said, in a low voice,‘ Adjourn the Court to ten o'clock on Monday Morning.” Proclamation to this effect was made; Mr. O'Brien was then removed from the dock, and the building was soon At a quarter past ten on Monday morn ing the Judges entered the court... The Courthouse from an early hour was dense- ly crowded in every part, and great anxe iety was visibly depicted on every coun; tenance as it was rumored that Mr. Smith O'Brien was to be brought up for judg- ment. The only gallery vacant was that in which the friends of Mr. Smith O'Briey were accustomed to sit during the proteac- ted trial. That gallery was entirely emp ty, and formed a melancholy contrast to the other portions of the court. The Attorney General entered the court about five minutes after the sitting of the court. All eyes were directed towards that learned functionary, who said—My lords. I have to move that in the case of her Majesty against Wm. Sinith O'Brien, the prisoner be called up for judgment. Chief Justice—Very well. Soon afterwards Mr. Smith O'Brien made his appearance in the dock. His manly bearing. his calmness, composure, and firmness as he stood in front of the dock, were the theme of observation throughout the court. The Clerk of the Crown was about to read over the indictment, and to ask what the prisoner had to say why sentence of death and execution thereon should net he passed upon him, when Mr. Whiteside, Q. C., sais that this wag the proper time to make applicationte court for arrest of jadghmeat. He pro- ceeded to state the grounds of the appli- cation and thentoargue them. Me.

The Chief Justice, after eon- sulting for some minates with his brother judges, pronounced their lordships deck ‘Sion, Which was, that the objections Sime ted by the prisoner's councel could not -be maintained. The Clerk of the Crown then asked Mr, O'Brien what he had fo say why,.the sem: ‘tence of the law should not be n bim. . geet or.

Phe Lord Chief Justice then proceeded, amidst the most profound and painful si- | Jénce, to pronounce the extreme sentence of the law upon the prisoner.

It was understood that the mis- sion of the ahove deputation was to as- certain whenhis Exeellency would receive ‘the second deputation, with the memorial ‘fully signed, and to inquire into the truth of the rumor respecting the warrant for Mr. O'Brien’s execution. At four o'clock the deputation returned, Mr. Crawford announced that the Cep- utation was detained a considerable time in consequence of his Excellency being out. but on his retarn they received a message from him that he would receive them. The memorial adopted there that day bad previously been sent into his Ex- cellency. When he received the deputa- tion he (Mr. Crawford) explained that the ‘reason of their having come so promptly was, that a report hd becn mentioned at the mecting that a warrant had been is- sued for the execution of Mr. O'Brien. for which reason the meeting requested that the deputation should immediately wait on his Excellency for the purpose of in- | | | quiring, first, whether there wasany trath- in that report with regard tothe warrant ; -and, secondly, whether his Excellency would be pleased to receive a deputation on a future day to present the memorial after it bad received rocce extensive sig- natures.

Shortly after sentence had been passed Mr. Smith O'Brien, the Court procee- with the next case, namely. that of Terence Bellew M’Manus for high trea- son. On the following day, the jury, after being closeted fer three hours. returned into court witha verdict of guilty. The prisoner bore the announcement with great firmness. The jury have recom. mended hin to the merciful cgnsideration of the Crown. After Mr. M’Manus was removed, the Oourt proceeded with the TRIAL OF MR.

Towards the conclusion of his sech he observed that there being no evidence of any declaration by the prison- | | “er of his motives and intentions in joining whe rebels, it might be argued by his coun- eet that his object was not revolutionary.

Members of all parties had deserted the lower House to witness the splintering of lances be- tween Robert Y. Hayne, of South Caro- lina, and Daniel Webster. When we en- tered the Hall, Gen. Hayne, was speak- ing. He wasa man of general youthful appearance, with his collar turned over his cravat. and his hair smoothly brushed across his forehead. Ile was of the mid- dle stature, and well made. He was | speaking energetically ; his eyes were pe- 'culiarly brilliant, and his face was ex- tremely pale; he moved up and down the ‘aisles formed between the desks, with a “rapid and agitated step ; his gestures were /vehement, and he appeared to be in a high state of excitement. We were pe- culiarly struck with his whole appearance, -and the tone of feeling evident in’ the Chamber. Mr. Calhoun, then Vice Pre- 'sident, was in the Chair. With bis large, ‘steady and vigilant eyes witnessing the first great battle of his doctrine. he seem- }ed the very spirit of embodied interest ; not a word, not a gesture escaped his lion _ look.

From time to time, attention would be directed from him. to the Gentlemen. who was expected to answer him, and whom Gen. Hayne attacked under cover of a terrible and calling fire. Cold, serene. dark. and melancholy, that man, thus assailed, set apart, bleak and lrowning asa mountain rock 5 he evident- ly felt the gigantic influences that were at work around him, but his) profound mind was strengthening itself or the con- test. And how deeply solemn was that hour, that moment! hos orand that scene ! and what were the mediations and spirit relyings of that dark man! His counten- ance wavered not during the whole of that | tremendous speech ; assault after assault /was made upon him, but yet he neither turned to the right nor left, but calmly and gallantly, like a soldier, waiting the signal, he bided his hour.

But who that heard him will permit the peroration to be forgotten? —ihese closing passages of grandeur, that majestic allusion to the flag of freedom and his country. Looking with bis dark and lustrous eye, through the glass dome of the chamber, over which be could see that banner floating. he delivered an apos- | trophe, which has never been surpassed, -and seldom equalled.

One would think, that compost- | By ‘tors would be as sick of reading as a gro- cer’s boy is of treacle ; but that itis not the case is proved by the fact that they not only willingly pay for their newspapers, but often indemnify one of their commu- nity for giving up his work and reading | the news aloud to them while they are la-- boring at their work ; they will, moreo- ver, even pay bim to read to them any new book which they consider to contain interesting information. It of course re- quires very great command of the mind to be able to give attention to what is read from one book when men are intently em- ployed in the creation of another. The apprentices and inferior workmen cannot | attempt todo this, but the greater number, astonishing as it may ‘sound, can listen without injury to their avocation.

THRILLING INCIDENT AY THE ME. | NAGERIE. Nosie Gatiantry oF THE Lron.—On. Thursday of last week, during the heavy storm of wind and rain, while the extensive collection of wild beasts in the menagerie of Messrs. Raymond & Waring were in the village of Norwalk, a feature was introduced in the exhi- bition not previously announced in the bills. — About fourin the afternoon a violent gust of wind blew down the canvass which forms the large pavilion, completely enveloping the spectators and cages of animals in one common mass of confusion. The accident happened at the time when Miss Adelina, the Lion Queen as she is styled, was performing in the den of wild beasts, aud as the fright of the animals rendered them seemingly uncontrolabie, great fears were en- tertained for the safety of that interesting young lady. At this moment a scene of indescribable terror and confusion presented itself. The roaring of the terrified beasts, the screams of, women and children, and the “ peltings of the pitiless storm ” without, rendered the scene tru- ly appalling. ‘The panic, however, was but momentary, as the prompt and energetic mea- sures taken by the managers soon cleared the wreck, no person having received the slightest | injury. But the most intensely interesting incident remains to be told. The uproar among the | lions, tigers and leopards in the performing cage, ‘gave rise to a report that they were devouring Miss Adelina. In the next instant the canvass was stripped from the cage, when a tableaux presented itself such as would dety either poet, painter or sculptor to portray with accuracy.— In the centre of the den a young and beautiful lion, (the same recently presented to Gen, Cass hy the Emperor of Morocco,) in a rampant po- sition, formed the strong feature of the picture ; beneath one of bis bind feet lay stretched the dead body of a leopard, and struggling within the invincible grasp of his fore paws were the tiger and surviving leopard. In the opposite end of the cage, transfixed aga statue of marble, with danntiess eye and majestic attitude, the same as when she commands the wild beasts to crouch at her feet, stood the Lion Queen, Miss Adelina. ‘The young lady states that the two leopards and the tiger made a simultaneous spring fur her at the moment the canvass was blown down, and were repulsed by the noble gallantry of the lion, who bounded between them, and protected her in the manner describ- ed. The presence of the keeper, Mr. Pierce, soon reduced the savage groupe to subjection, and the Lion Queen was happily relieved from a farther participation inthis extra performance. The Fighting Parson.—Parson Browniow, of the Jonesborough Whig, says that on the’ night of the 28ih ult., a young man named John Ryland, Jr., armed with pistols, went to his house in the dead of night, cursed him an hour or so, dared him out to fight, and at length threatened, if he didiu’t come out, to shoot bim through the window. We give the sequel in the Parson’s own words :— “Upon his swearing protanely that if we did not go out and fight him he would ‘pick us through the window,’ we rose up out of bed, and drew on our clothes, took down a double barrelled gun well loaded with buckshot, cocke ed it and went at him, when he swiftly retreat- ed down to the gate of Col. Willet, a distance of near one hundred yards.’ ” Singular Accident.—A few days ago a negro boy about nine years old. belonging to Dr. James F. McRee, was driving some sheep home. and eating persimmons on the way. A ram of the flock attacked him, and hitting him in the breast. caused one of the persimmon stones to slip down his throat and Jodge in the wint-pipe. It remained there fifteen or twenty hours, until the Doctor could procure his surgi- cal instrument, when be made an incision and took the stone out. The boy is doing well.— Wilmington Chronicle.

What a miserable, bungling cheat is the whole affair, from begin- ning to end! We stated, yesterday, that the Sub-treasury never could act with effect in times of peace, and when there is no national debt. On suc occasions, when the dues are all paid in specie, that specie goes into the ‘Treasury, and there is ne means of getting it out. ‘There are not, then, any outstanding notes to redeem—there is, therefore, noexcuse for hiding a loan under the mask of a purchase of ‘Treasury notes.— The specie goes into the vaults, and there it must stay, accumulating every day, to the dam- age of the business ofthe country. “The nature of this Job ia already seen from the article in the Courier, and it appears to have been a job of the dirtiest description. A Secretary has nothing to do but to inform a fa- vorite that he will redeem treasury notes with specie at par; that favorite bays up all the notes he can; as soon as it is known that the | operation is to be performed, the notes rise, and the holder makes a handsome profit.

Every honest man in this country must pro- | test against the conversion of the United States | treasury into a broker’s shop, and the Govern. | ment itself into an enormous stock jobbing ma. | chine. If some poor deputy sub-treasurer had violated the law so palpably as Mr. Walker has done, he would have been prosecuted for felo-. | ny, and sentenced to the penitentiary upon due | conviction. We hope some grand jury will present this offence, and that the secretary will ‘be indicted under his own law. From the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer. Tur Sus.Treasury Law,—We presented Friday some general views as to the mischiev. ous agency of this most absurd law. We are now enabled to present conclusive proof that they who made the law have found it expedient or profitable to violate it—while con- verting it into one of Jhe most dangerous instru- /ments of power that was ever devised. The Secretary of the ‘Treasury some days ago, undertook a negotiation, by which—if the authorities at Washington should agree to it— to take $3800.000 in coin out of the Treasury, and lend it, without interest, to such parties as he might select—on the deposit of Treasury notes at par. ‘This is the true description of the transaction, although its palpable and bare- faced violation of law is sought to be veiled un- der the thin pretext of paying these Treasury notes at par—conditioned that at the expiration (ofa certain term, the original holders are to take them back again at par. = ¥% ACW ieetiig’s good Wriend of the edmnietra-/ “THE CONSTITU LION. “ANG tiog- havin Ez ' ot = ® 2. oO Th. adfa | t r NG's Th % half a Million Te This caption mem Hele in. t.

Look, too, at the corrupting influence upon the community, and the temptation in which the Secretary himself is placed, by reasen of euch a discretionary power. We certainly neither mean to charge nor to insinuate corruption on the part of Mr. Walker in this transaction,— We are adverting solely to the tendenicies of all such discretionary monied power. What a field for speculation would be open- ed to an unscrupulous man in charge of the De. partment—first by pinching as much as possi- ble the money market, by permitting coin to accumulate in the Sub.'Treasury, and to that accounts, while husbanding all the receipts— and then giving due notice beforehand to confi- dential friends that at such a date he would lend them large sums of the public monies— enabling them to buy, under the high pressure, all sorts of merchandize—which the very fact exceeding & ing Ua of sucha loan being atierwards made tothe great relief of the money market, would cause instant. | ly to rise in price.

GRESS IN PHILADELPHIA. | From the Pen of the Venerable John Adams. | When the Congress met, Mr. Cushing made | a motion that it should be opened with prayer. It was opposed by Mr, Jay, of New York, and | Mr. Rutiedge, of South Carolina, because we | were so divided in religious sentiments, some | Episcopalians, some Quakers, some Anabap- tists, some Presbyterians, and some Congrega. | tionalists, that we could not join in the same act | of worship. Mr. Samuel Adams rose and said | “that he was no bigot, and could hear a pray- | er from any gentleman of picty and virtue, who | was at the satne time a friend to his country. | He was a stranger in Philadelphia, but he had | heard that Mr. Duche (Dushay, they pronounce. | ed it) deserved that character, and, therefore, he moved that Mr. Duche, an Episcopal cler- gyman, might be desired to read prayers to Congress toemorrow morning.” ‘The motion | was seconded, and passed in the affirmative.— | | Mr. Randolph, our President, waited on Mr. D., | _and received for answer that, if his health would permit, he certainly would. Accordingly, next morning be appeared with his clerk and his | pontiticials, and read several prayers in the es. | | | tablished form, and then read the psalter tor the seventh day of September, which was the 35th psalm. You must remember this was the next morning afier we had heard the rumor of the horrible cannonade of Boston. “It seemed as if Heaven had ordained that psalm to be read on that morning.” Afier this, Mr. Duche, unexpectedly to every body, struck oul into extemporary prayer, which filled the bosom ofevery man present.

It had excellent effect upon every body there. IT must beg you to read the psalm. If) there is any faith in the sortes Virgilrane or | Homerica, or especially the sorties Biblica, it favored parties, as soon as they can produce , their Treasury notes. The first effect of this operation was to give an impulse in the market to Treasury notes, which rose from 24 premium to 3. and its gen- eral effect was to afford some relief to a tight money market. That in this latter sense, as diminishing the money pressure, this transaction may be favor- ably regarded in some qnarters, is quite pos. sible. Bat let us look a little narrowly atit. Here is a power assumed by the Secretary of the ‘Treasury, to take out of the public funds such amount as to him seems good, and that amount to lend withont interest upon a deposit of Trea- sury notes, to whomsoever he may choose to favor, and that ata time when money cannot be borrowed on the best mercantile paper at much under 1 per ct. a month. peat, is the real nature of the transaction, al. though di-guised in the manner stated in the annexed paragraph from the Evening Post, a paper favorable tothe Sub. Treasury : It is a Joan without interest made to favorites, at his own discretion, as to persons and amounts, hy the Secretary of the Treasury. ‘The ‘Trea. sury, indeed, will have the benefit of such in- terest as may accrue on the Treasury notes while pawned to it ; but that can only be at the rate of 6 perct., while the money loaned is worth 12 per ct. peran. at least. The advan- tage, then, of standing well with the Secretary is worth 6 per cent. per annum, at least, and as much as the exigencies of borrowers from ihose to whom the Secretary lends may consent to. Now can any thing be conceived more en- lirely in contradiction with the theory of the Sub.Treasury, or more corrupt in its practical application, than the power thus assumed hy the Department? The sanction, too, of the would have been thought Providential.” | Here was a scene worthy ofthe Painter’s art. It was in Carpenter’s Hall, in Philadelphia, a building which still survives, that the devoted individuals met to whom this service was read, Washington was kneeling there, and Henry, and Randolph, and Rutledge, and Lee, and Jay, and by their side there stood, bowed in rever- ence, the Puritan patriots of New England, who at that moment had reason to believe that an armed soldiery was wasting their humble house. holds. It was believed that Boston had been | bombarded and destroyed. They prayed fer- vently “for America, for the Congress, for the province’ ..! Massachusetts Bay, and especially for the town of Boston 3” and who can realize the emotions with which they turned imploring. ly to Heaven for Divine interposition and aid! “Tt was enough,” says Mr. Adams, “to melt a heart of stone. [ saw the tears gush into the eyes of the old, grave, pacific Quakers of Phil- -adelphia.” This, we re. | President of the United States must be presum. | ed, since the consummation of the arrangement made with Mr. Walker, in this city, was delay- ed until the authorities in Washington could be consulted. In the face of the law requiring that coin, and coin only, shall be received in payments to. the United States Government, and that this coin when once received, shall not, under any cireumstances nor in any contingency, he ex. changed for any other security—not more for treasury notes than hank notes—we find the President of the United States and the Secreta. | _ ry of the Treasury combining to direct the sub. | treasury of this port to exchange gold fur treas. _ ury fotes, Look at (he possible ppe ration of this arrange- ment : On Saturday last two noble-hearted Whigs (no doubt too poor to pay travelling expenses by the usual conveyances) arrived in this city, who had walked the entire distance from Cin- cinnati, on their way to Philadelphia, their home, for the purpose of voting for the People’s Can. didates, Zachary ‘Taylor and Millard Fillmore.

THE FIRST AND LAST DINNER. A TALE OF LIFE. The following capital story appeared in Black. wood’s Magazine. several years ago. Unlike many old storics, it will be re-read with great interest :— Twelve friends, much about the same age, and fixed, by their pursuits, their family con- nexions, and other Joval interests, as permanent inhabitants of the metropolis, agreed, one day when they were drinking their wine atthe Star and Garter at Richmond, to institute an annual | dinner among themselves, under the following regulations :— That they should dine alternately at each | Other’s houses on the first and last day of the year; that the first bottle of wine uncorked at the first dinner, should be recorked and put away, to be drank by him who should be the | Jast of their number; that they should never | admit a new member; that when ene died, eleven were to meet, andsoon; and that when only one remained, he should on those two days dine by himself, and sit the usual hours at his solitary table, but the first time he so dined alone, les! it should be the only one, he should then uncors the first bottle, and in the first glass drink to the memory of all who were gone, There was something original and whimsi- eal in the idea, and it was cagerly embraced. They were all in the prime of lite, closely at. taebed by reciprocal fhiendsbip, fond of social enjoyments, and Jooked forward to their future meeting with analloyed anticipations of plea. sure. § =The only thonght indeed, that) could have darkened those anticipations, was one not likely to intrude itself at this moment, that of the hapless wight who was destined to uncork the first glass at bis lonely repast. It was bigh summer when this frolic compact was entered into; and as their pleasure yacht | skimined along the dark bosom ofthe Thames, on their return to London, they talked of noth. ing but their first: and last feasts of ensuing veers. Their imaginations san out with a thousand gay predictions of festive meniment | They wantoned in conjectures of what changes | time would create, “As for you, George,” exclaimed one of the twelve, addressing bis brotherim-law, © ex. pect I shall see youasdry, withered and shrank. en asan old eel-skin, you mere outside of a man!” and he accompanied the words with a | | | hearty slap on the shoulder. | rw _ : | vivor of the twelve, upon whose head fourscore | George Fortescue was leaning carelessly over the side ofthe yachr, laughing the loudest ofa ny at the conversation which had been carriedon. | ,. . | his honse and at his table, they had celebrated | The sudden manual salutation of his brother-in. law threw bim off his balance, and ina moment he was overboard. They heard the heavy splash of his fall, before they could be said to | have seen bim fal!. ing awiflly along ; but it was instantly stopped. -ulmost consternation now prevailed. — ft was nearly dark, but Fortescue was known to be an excellent swimmer, and startling as the accident was, they felt certain he would regain the vessel. They could not see him. listened. and feet. faint, gurgling voice, and ihe exclamation * Oh God!” struck upon their ears. two or three, who were expert: swimmers, plunged into the river, and swam towards the spot whence the exclamation bad proceeded.— One of them was within an arin’s length of Fortescue ; he saw him; before he could be reached he went down, and his distracted friend bebeld the eddying circles of the wave They jJustover him, and touched the bottom ; but the tide must have drified the body onward, for it could not be found ! They proceeded to one of the nearest stations where drags were kept, and having procured the neceesary apparatus, they proceeded to the fatal spot. After the lapse of about an hour, (ey succeeded in raising the lifeless body of their lost friend. All the usual remedies were employed fur restoring suspended animation, bet in vain; they now pursued the remainder ef their course to London in mournful silence with the corpse of bim who had commenced the day of pleasure with them in the fullness of healih, of spirits, and of lie! And in their se. ere grief they could not but reflect how soon one-off the joyous twelve had slipped out of this litle festive circle. M es The months rolled on, and cold Deceinten: came with all its cheering round of kindly greet. ings and merry hespitalities ; and with it came a sofiened recollection of the fate of poor For. teacue, Eleven of the twelve assembled on the last day of the year. and it was impossible nat to feel their loss as they sat down todinner, Yery irregularity of the table, fir side and six - the other, forced the maeeane event upon their memory.

But, alas! there | came one dinner at last, which was darkened | by a calamity they never expected to witness ; ‘ foron that day, their frienc, companion brother | almost, was hanged! Yes, Stephen Rowland, | the wit, the oracle, the hile of their circle, bad, on the morning of that day, forfeited bis life upon a public seaffoid, for baving made one single stroke of bis pen in a wrong place. Jn other words, a bill of exchange which passed into his hands fur £700, passed out of it for | £1,700. It would be injustice to the ten to say that dispel the gloom which pervaded this dinner.— lt was agreed beforehand, that they should not allude to the distressing and melancholy theme ; which really occupied all their thoughts, the | natural consequence Was, that silent contempla- | tion took the place of dismal discourse ; and | they seperated long before midnight. ; Some fifieen years had now glided away since ithe fate of Rowlind, andthe ten remained; but ‘the stealing hand of time had written sundry ‘changes in most legible characters. Raven | locks had become grizzled, two or three heads | | bad not as many Jocks altogether as may be | | reckoned in a walk of halia mile along the Re. vents Canal—one was actually covered witha | brown wig, the crow’s feet were visible in the | corner of the eye—good old port and warm Ma. _deira carried it against hock, claret, and red burgundy, and champaigne, stews, hashes, and ragouts, grew in favor—crusts were rarely call. ed for to relish the cheese after dinner—conver- | sation grew less boisterous, and it turned chief: ily on politics and the state of the funds, or the | value of landed property—apologies were made for coming in thick shoes and warm stockings | —the doors and windows were most carefully | provided with list and sand bags—the fire more in request—and a quiet game of whist filled up the hours that were wont to be devoted to drink. ing, singing and rivtous merriment. had gone round after the removal of the cloth. | At parting, too, there was a long ceremony in the hall, buttoning up great cvats, tying on | woolen comforters. fixing silk handkerchiefs , | | over the mouth and up to the ears, grasping | sturdy walking canes to support unsteady feet. ‘Their fiftieth anniversary came, and death | had indeed been busy. | Four little old men with withered appearance and decrepit walk, with cracked voices and | dim, rayless eyes, sat down, by the mercy of Heaven, (as they themselves tremulously de- clared,) to celebrate, for the fiftieth time, the tirst day pf the year, to observe the frolic com. pact which, half'a century before they had en. tered into atthe Star and Garter at Richmond. | | ight were in their graves ! mained stood upon its confines, Yet they chirp. ed cheerily over their glass, though they could scarcely carry it to their lips, if more than half full; and eracked their jokes, though they ar- ticulated their words with difficulty, and heard each other with still greater difficulty. ‘They mumbled, they chattered, they laughed, ifa sort of strange wheezing might be called a laugh; and when the wines seat their icy blood in war- mer pulses through their veins, they talked) of the pastas if it were bat yesterday that had slipped by them—and of the future as ifit were a busy centory that lay before them.

She threw open her long vista of buried years; and his heart travelled throuzh them all. Their lusty and blithsome spring, their bright and fervid summer—their ripe and temperate autumn— their chill but not too frozen winter. He saw, asin aomirror, how one by one, the laughing companions of the merry hour, at Richmond, had dropped into eternity. He felt all the lone. liness of his condition, (for he had eschewed | marriage, and in the veins of no living creature | ran a drop of blood whose source was in his | /own;) and as he drained a glass which he fill. ed, “to the memory of those who were gone,” | the tears slowly trickled down the deep furrows (of his aged face. He had thus fulfilled one part of his vow, and he prepared himself to discharge the other, by sitting the usual number of hours at his desolate _ table. With a heavy heart he resigned himself to the gloom of his own thoughts—a lethargic sleep stole over him—his head fell upon bis bosom—confused images crowded into his mind —he babbled by himself—was silent—and when his servant entered the room, alarmed by a noise which he heard, be found his master stretched upon the carpet at the foot ofthe easy chair, and out of which he had slipped in anap. popletic fit, He never spoke again, nor once opened his eves, thongh the vital spark was not still extinet vill the following day.

Sir John Sinclair, who is gre among tbe t vantage of rain. When it is thoroughly drained, laud “canbe ploughed at any season with advantage—Sit is easily managed, and can be: kept clean ata | moderate expense,—every exertion of good huis- | bandry is attended with success,—the ground suffers less from the inclemency of seasons,— the produce is generally ample,—the quality of the grain is excellent, and the farmer will thrive, where bis predecessor, cultivating & wel and authorities, thus sums upthe ing arable land: — .. . totally ruined.” Again he reinarks :— By the removal of stagnant water, and the prevention of noxious exbalations, the climate is rendered more healthy and genial, both to animal and vegetable life. ‘Indeed, since the introduction of draining into this country, agues, and other similar distempers, occasioned by the | humidity of the soil, and the consequent impur- | ity of the atmosphere, [ have been, ina great measure, prevented, and the general health of ‘the inhabitants has been greatly improved.” | Of wet lands he remarks :— “ While land remains in a wel stale, the ma- nure laid on it, whether putrescent or calcareous, is, comparatively speaking of little use ; the “seed sown often perishes ; the crops are sickly, and later ripening ; and the operations of har- | vest are perhaps attended with injury to the soil, uncertainty and danger.” } ! | lands, he has this precaution :— “Care in particular should be taken to ren- der the lands dry before the application of lime | dung or compost, otherwise the attempt will be | ineffectual.” From the Southern Planter. PRESERVING CLOVER SEED. The unusual productiveness of seed in the clover crop of last season, induces me to seize this auspicious moment to offer to agriculturists the following remarks, referring to the suppos- ed deteriorating influence of age on clover seed. There is a general opinion that seed is not fit to sow which has been kept over one year, or, that its vegetable principle is less active.— | surplus seed at four or five dollars per bushel, and be constrained perhaps, the following year, to supply his farm at the rate of 88, and some- times $10. This often happens, as for the last twenty years in our country we have not had two consecutive seasons favorable to clover seed ; this error, therefore, so injurious to the farmer’s interest, should be at once corrected. ‘The seed of the second year may be slower im sprouting than the first, | admit; this may be accounted for in the increased hardiness of the hull, a difficulty easily overcome by soaking the ‘seed 24 hours previous to sowing, in a solution | Upon the application of manure to drained | | undrained soil, was impoverished or. perhaps | saperio \ 4 of salt water of the temperature of 120 degrees Fah. or ashes and with a good season and soil, it must grow and flourish, and no mistake. Let the farmer then, while seed is plenty, attend carefully to its preservation. When brought from the mill. (if perfectly dry) put it away in one or two bushel sacks, suspend from the joists of his granary, when the temperature is equal, and [ will guarantee its fertility for ten years or more. No agricultural paper to my knowledge, has ever given a hint on this subject, and should you deem these remarks of any value, you may give them a resting place in your admirable journal.

Valuable Lands and Water CAPE FEAR WISH to sell that valuable place on the South Yad- kin River, known as the SHOALS, containing 400 ACRES OF LAND, with its splendid WATER-POWER. The land is ex- cellent, and as to water-power, it is one of the best sites in all the Southern country for Mills and Factories of all descriptions. its location is in the centre of the best grain-growing region in all N. Carolina, and is conven- ient to inexhaustible supplies of superior iron ore. The power is sufficient to propel any number of Mills or oth- er Factories. When the centemplated Rail Road through this part of the State shall be completed, this place must become a large manufacturing town, as it unites all the essentials for such a place. ° As it is probable any person wishing to purchase will first inspect the place, it is unnecessary here Lo give any further description of.it.

General Cavaignac seems to have been completely paralysed,so far as he might | have entertained any hopes of the Pres.|idency.His natural reserve,and the| cold,stern,unbending policy of his mil-| itary rule,are not suited to a peoplein| hey-day of a republican infancy.Cold-| ness and reserve are necessary in hours; of great peril and excitement,but when these have passed the people want some- thing more congenial.They want sym, pathy in their rulers.and not severity alone.This will account for the joy hailed the utterance| of the genial sentiments of M.de Lam- artine,the true father of their republi- can system. The question of the Presidency is thus narrowed down apparently to M M.La- martine aud Cavaignac;the position of the latter giving hima political strength which he would not possess,were he not the present head of the Government. For a while there was some expecta- tion that Marshal Bugeaud and Louis Napoleon,would each rally a sfronz party.Marshal Bageaud,however,re majns quiet,and there is no popular movement in his favor;his supporters being principally among the friends of the royal family.Prince Louis Napo- leon’s extreme incompetency has com pletely ruined his chances.An amend- dment to the proposed Constitution,ex- cluding from the Fxxecutive all mem- bers of families that had ever reigned in France,was under discussion,on the 9th inst.,and in debate frequent allusion was made to the Prince as a “pretender.” This brought him to the tribune.The correspondent of the London Chronicle, says : Prince Louis Napoleon,in directing his steps towards the tribune.showed that he was overwhelmed with his position.On his arrival there,he had some difficulty in commencing at all,and at length he came out in a hesitating manner,with the following words: “Citizens—!]do not come before you to speak against the amendment:cer- tainly |have been sufficiently rewarded | in recovering all my rights as a_citizen to entertain any other ambition.Neither do|come bere to make any complaint against the calumnies of which I have been the object.It is in the name of the 360,000 electors who have twice honored me with their suffrages that |disavow the appellation of pretender,which,is con- stantly brought forward agaiast me.

Thefldst Salisbury Wat¢hman,asks us to tell it how it happens that brown sugar is selling in this market at 9 to 11 cts.and loafat 15 to 17}cts.per Ib.,when the Salisbury merchants for ‘the last 18 months have been selling these ar- ticles,the one at 6 to.8 cts.and the other at 9 to 1!we might answer the Watchman,by asking a question in Jurn,that4s,why are common teassoldmmourséaportcities,at 4 to 10-cts.,when it is notorious that they cast from 18 to 20 cts.a set in Liverpool?By a reference to prices 18 months ago,it: wil]be seen that neither hrownnor loaf sugars could be purchased of good qualities in our sea-| ports at the prices they are said to have been | sold at in Salisbury.It is notorious that the West India sugars sold inthe Wilmington mar- ket are of the most inferior grades,and are sent there on that account,to be bartered off for lum- ber,naval stores,&c.,at any price they will bring.‘These refuse sugars may no doubt be sold in Salisbury at the prices named,as many | persons without having better articles to com. pare by,are easily imposed upon as to the qual- ities of those articles. There has been no period within the last 18 months at which fine sugars could be purchas. ed and sold in Salisbury at the prices named,| and at a profit.If the Watchman therefore,| really wishes information,we have no doubt but it can be got of the Salisbury merchants.— We presume their answer would be something like this:Sugar isa leading article—we sell but little of it—we therefore,by procuring the most inferior kinds and selling it without profit, inay deceive the credulous and unsuspecting into the belief that we sell cheap,and by that means we will be enabled to get large profits on everything else we sell.‘This we suppose to be the reasanof the differences inthe prices of sugars in Salisbury and Cheraw.If it is not,we knock under,unless our merchants are | foolish enough to be at the trouble of stealing | their sugars,while the Salisbury merchants | have theirs stolen to their hands. | The above is from the Cheraw Gazette,and. although it is a clear failure to account for the | strange difference in the prices of sugar at Cheraw and Salisbury,yet it demands a no. tice from us. The question put to us as an answer to our. inquiry is no answer atall;oratleast does not meet the case,for this reason:‘Those who buy common teas in our seaports are required to buy a large quantity of other merchandise before | they can get them at from 4 to 10 cts.They cannot go into one of those houses and purchase | a crate of this ware alone at these prices.—| we assure the Gazette that any one may come here,and buy from fifteen pounds to athousand | ‘pounds of brown sugar at from 7 to 9 cts.,and will not be required to take a single yard ofdry goods or any thing else unless it is desirable so todo.[tis manifest then that the Gazette’s /qnestion is nota satisfactory answer to our in- quiry. As tothe ©inferior West India grades”which are sold at Wilmington,they are not brought here;our merchants all lay in their stocks of. groceries,salt,and perhaps molasses excepted,| in New York and Philadelphia.Indeed,the sugars sold here are ofa first-rate quality:Wool- sey &Woolsey’s best brands of loaf,and the Philadelphia clarified,as fair almost as snow,is sold here at 10 cts.per 1b.This being so,the inferior grades of which the Gazetle speaks would not find sale at 7 8 and 9 cts;for most generally purchasers would prefer to pay acent No,the Gazelle is mistaken in one very material point, ny‘ or two more and get the best quality. and that is as to the quantity of sugar sold in this market:It is greatly in error when it sup- poses that our merchants *sell but little of it.” They sell a vast deal of it,and although they do not make as durge a profit,as do the Cheraw merchants,yet itis a profit with which they are satisfied,and are enabled to keep up their busi- ness.Sima!l profits many times multiplied are equa!toa few large profits;and it is the large quantity that they sell at a small profit and not the smallness of the quantity they are required to sacrifice.It is true that sugar tsa ‘leading article”here,and if our merchants were to sell it below cost,the vast amount of their sales would at the years end show an awful loss,and in the course of time,unless they could make enormous profits on dry goods,(and they can- not,)they would be seen slipping out at the “small end of the born.”But this *leading article.”like all their other articles of trade,are made to bringa small profit,and their small, but manifold profits,amount to more than the large profits on a few sales,made by merchants at other places.‘There is no deceiving the “credulous and unsuspecting”in this matter. It is one which may be proved,one which the Editor of the Gazette,or any judge of sugars, may test. ‘There are many other articles which we see are sold higher at Cheraw than here. nails,barlead and sole leather,are among them;| Iron, and we have reason to believe that there is not ananicle in the whole catalogue of dry goods retailed at Cheraw,or elsewhere South,at lower rates than in Salisbury. Another great Victory.x—We make public ac.| knowledgementof the receipt of a seven pound:¢ Potato,from our ‘Townsman,Mr.D.A.Davis.| It was a beautiful specimen of the genuine| Rough and Ready.On the evening of the 15th instant,at precisely eight o’clock,an impetuous charge was made upon it by four able-bodied and well drilled printers,who flanked and sur. rounded it.But mortifying as ts the fact,they only experienced what was before proven,that “Rough and Ready”can’t he beat! P.S.We understand that fico of the assail- ants,more sanguine than the rest,renewed the attack about elevan o’clock,on the same night ; and were repulsed with great loss—of sleep. JUDGE MOORE.

THE ROLBERS CAUGHT. Ed.Delta :—One of the most extraordinary feats,displaying ihe sagacity of dogs,has just oceurred in this neighborhood.Capt.Seaman, of Cincinnatti,whilst lying with his flat boat at Wintereville,a Bousishing litie village,about 10 miles from the town of Baton Rouge,was | robbed on the night of the 23th July,by two men who shipped as common hands at Vicks- burg.giving theirnames Bill and George Spains of Spades,(undoultedly assumed)and repre- sented themselves as brothers.ft appears that whilst they were on watch,a few hours before day,they descended into the cabin,took the Captain’s trunk,w hich contained upwards of $1800 in money,and shoved offin the skif—— When Capt.Seaman awoke next morning,and discovered the state of things,he was almost crazy with despair,Phe money did not belong to him—he was only the agent of others—a thing quite comison on the river,where thous. ands of dollars are entrusted to men in honest homespun.EL!s future prospects might depend in agreat measure upon this event,and the bare thought of lis being suspected of foul play by his employers,was enough to rack his mind to madness.Ue isnmediately procured a skiff and taking one of bis bands with bim,put him ous on the pasture opposite,which stretches some four miles down,with directions to follow of the water,whilst be coastedcloselytheedge duwnonthe other sule. the hand discovered indubiteable stains ofthe rob- bers having landed and ofoPadrifi.— There was their track side by side, ing a heavy trunk.Aseeuding the bank and entering the wo heh in vain,for they com be trunk nor (rage them beyoud this poiut.bustunately,the evebiag previous to the robbery,Mr.John ‘Fa. bor,who keeps up a p ick of Negro Dogs,had been to the boat tor the purpose of purchasing meat for the dogs,and whilst bargaining,as is his pont,he regaled the unsophisticated flat. bodt-man with wonderful tales oftheir exploits, ee his departure,says Bill to one of the hands “$8.wonder ifthese dogs would ron white folks?’ “O,[reckon not,”was the unsuspecting re. ply bat they are heil on niggers.”"Phere is nmthe least doubt but that Bill was then revolv. ing his plans in his mind,and calculating the chances of escape. this,ibey started back foi the Purpose ol getting the dogs.Mr.Pabo ois always on hand, ready,willing,and awatdag for sueh a trolie as te,and who is seme jaa bar fivht,”’as soon as he heard the Captain with rueful counten. ance relate his aad mishap,took Severin Thi. bodaux,who bunts his dogs,pave several winds of his horn and was offin a hand-gatlop to the scene of action. sion to their ommbers at Mr.V.Le Blane’s, where they crossec themselves and horses,they soon found the track.*The dogs didn’t know exactly what to make of it at first,”says Tabor, *until f cursed a little,gave a few haloes,and showed them that it was nojoke.”“They then Whirled in and set to work in dead earnest.— "Phey soon tovk the swamp which lies between the riverand the highlands and which was now cayered with waler.waist deep;here these faithful animals,swimming nearty all the time, followed the 2ig2.g course,the tortuous twist. ings and Veimdings of these two robbers,who,il was afierwards uiscovered,were lost;some.

From the Southern Planter. ECONOMY IN SAVING MANURES. One of the great secrets of success in the culture of the soil,is Mconomy.‘This magie word,ig an *open Sesame”to wealth and in- dependence.In order that the agriculturist may realize the largest profit from his lebor and | skill,he must be frugal and saving.He muet be not more careful to avoid manitest extrava- gance,than he is to practise a system of rigid eCcopomMy,which shall look in every direction Argus-eyed ;and be applicable to every combi. nation of circumstances, tle must save not only at the bung-hole.bat ratthe spigot,and thus arrest the injury wrought by those small dribbling losses,which viewed seperately,appear of no account,while in the aggregate and long run,they greatly di- tininish the returns of agricultural industry.Tn no department of rural labor,is there more to alse bo g nuity,than in the making,the saving and the using of manures.We are too much inclined, (ff misiake not,to centre our regards upon the barn-eyard,the stable,and the lime-kiln—too much inclined to place our main dependance ained by the exercise of economical inge- upon these sources of fertilizing and stimulating agents,to the neglect of others not less worthy of attention.“Phe different manures,and ma- terial for creating manure,which may be secur- availagle upon the precincts of every busbatdman,are very numerous,and as vulcable as they are numerous.Among the sources of manure frequently overlooked,or but partially drawn upon,may be mentioned the i privy,the ash-bin and wood house;the ben- roost and pigeon cote ;the sink-draiu and wash- ‘tub;the marl bed and peat swamp;the gul- lies and forest. All these are mines of wealth to him who tills the soil,and when brought into full requi. sition,they have proved instrumental to the pro. ed and made etal duction of crops before unanticipated and un. Hknown,“Phe amoontofwaste that is ofien per. mitted by overlooking these deposits of fertiliz- ing substances,cannot be easily and accurately estimated:Yet a single calculation which [ have happened upon in my agricultural reading may serve to throw some light upon this mat. ter,©Phe solid and liquid excrements of a man may be estimated at 1.65 ibs.per diem,or about 614 Ibs,per annum.Containing 3)per cent,or 18 ibs.of nitrogen,a sufficient quanti. ty,according to Boussingault,to preduce 880 Ibs.or about 15 bushels of wheat.’Report of the Commissioner of Patents for 1844,p.334.— Now if a darmew’s family consist of tive indi- viduals,and the contents of the privy are wast. ed,there is an annual sacrifice of enough nu. tritiva fur growing 70 bushels of wheat,‘This calculation was made by a distinguished French chemist,and may be relied upon as sufficiently accurate,But even ifthe contents of the privywerelessvaluable,by a half}than is here esti- mated,they ongbt still to arrest attention and provoke experiments with those who are soliei- tous lo improve their farms and busband their resources. The wasting of ashes is less common than that of bones.Yet the former are ofien suffer. ed to lie in useless and unsigh:ly heaps,when thrown trom the leach tub;while the latter,of which every housekeeper may command a cer- tain quantity,are seldom subjected to the pro- cess of burning and pulverizing,which converts them into an excellent manure.The chief constituent in the bones of all animals is the phosphate of lime,a substaace absolutely ne- cessary to the healthy vegetation of plants.— ‘The other principal ingredients are carbonate of lime and cartilaginous matter,both ef which when decomposed,enter Jargely into the syn.| |guano,scarce are always welcome. ‘ture. thesis of vegetable substanees.The evhivator | of the evil will not be incredulousastothé pow- er,of vegetables to feed upon and digest the hard substances of crushed bones,when he : reminded thatthe ashesCporgeirns are com posed of 614 per cent,o Silica,or flint,whttt js ‘muth-harder than the hardest bone?”Low. don’s Magazine of Gardening,vol.2,p.319. By carefully gathering up,from time to time, what is deposited beneath the perches of the hen-house‘and pigeon cote,ene may not only improve the health and fecundity of his fowls, bat may also enrich himself with home-made | ly inferior to that brought from dis.| horea which smells so rankly of| little favor with any but)tant foreign 8 money as to find but amateur farmers. The amount of fertilization that is pounded | and scrubbed out of our clothes in the course of | a year,would probably startle one who should | cee it written down in truthful figures.The | who suffers the precious thrown away }a farmer or gardener contents of the wash-tal to be and wasted,especially when bis plants anc trees are withering beneath the heat of the dog. star,has reason to reproach himself with tbe folly of *spilling at the bung-hole.” Monday is a day of great rejoicing to trees and vegetables,when they are allowed to count on a thorough soaki g about sunset,with rich suponaceous liquid,furnished by the lanndress. I have been told of a farmer,who after bay- ing suffered the wash tubs to be emptied Ibtoa filthy drain,deliberately proceeded to deluge his pet garden sauee with ice cold water fresh pumped from the well.[shall not credit the statement without further evidence,Some- limes it happens that peach stones or pear pits, wet planted,either by accident or whim,hard by the kitchen door.‘Trees so situated,almost invariably prove thrifiy and productive.Their bearing qualities and the exquisite flavor of their fruit,are extolled by individuals in private. and by committees in public.All the world Splendid Purnitare for.gt eT sale. eas y -=2%tek i é od WATSON &‘ROW ZEE.«:~ [A KE this opportunity | 6 he the attention of the Publi i whieh they now have on hand and expect to keep constantly on hand for sale at the very lowest prices for cash,country produce or lumber of every description,at the market pricés: Among their assortinent pve fourtd : Bureaus,Dressing,Dining; fiers and Ladies work Tables ;Book Cases ; Ottomans ;Sofas;Wash Stands ;Office Chairs ; Mahogany,Curled Maple,Black Walnut,Fan- cy and Weed Seat Chairs and Settees of ev- ery description always un hond or made to _ order at the shortest notice.

From the Medical Times,Sept.18,1845. Opposed as we are to modern patent medicines,we cannot be silent to the virtuesof Dr.Le Roy’s much laud-| His Pills are indeed a purgative which for they produce evacuation without weakness,and cause energy in the digestive functions,without straining them,| |and thus paving the way for re-action and apathy. durable forms of vegetable growth.The fru- gal farmer will not forget the forest.He will | bring it under stated contribution.If gathered | in autumn leaves furm excellent absorbenta for | the precious fluids so abundant in’the stable and barn-yard,yet so often suffered to float off and evaporate.Or if left to decay where they | fall,leaves make a valuable muck,especially| when mixed with lime or ashes. In Great Britain,where land commands a much higher price than with us,the principles of economy,which [am aiming to recon ‘nend, have long since been faithfully tested,an”are now generally observed in the management of| somewhere seen mention |the soils.I have made ofan English Cottage,whose garden was made to maaure itself,and at the end of twenty _< years,without having made the acquaintance | ofa single forkful of barn-yard dung,the tilth was deeper,mellower,richer;the yield more abundant and of better quality than ever before. The manuring of the garden was managed somewhat after this fashion:All the refuse of /tion.the garden,soeh as leaves,vines,grass,haulm and weeds,was carefully saved and thrown in- loa pile.Every fragment of rubbish was ga- thered up and nothing wasted.To this were. added scrapings from the road.drainings from | the kitchen sink,and soot fromthe chimney.—| ‘Phe liquid from the chamhers was daily emptied upon this heap,and the whole was repeatedly turned overand intimately mixed,until the vege- table ingredients were decomposed.Once a year the garden received a good dressing of this manure,and without thorough cultivation the result was what [have indicated. Before bringing these suggestions toa close, T must be allowed again to refer to the contents | ofthe privy.On account of the repugnance which they inspire,fecal substances are wholly discarded as an auxiliary of production,or else are so improperly managed as to occasion great Waste, It has been settled by experiment,that the sulphate of iron or copperas,is both efficient and inexpensive as an agent for disinfecting fecal masters,by changing the ammonia intoa fixed salt. be had at the shops for even shillings,and ifa A hundred pounds of copperas may | solution of this be occasionally applied to the. privy,it wil]cause the noisome effluvia to dis- appear. A two-fold purpose will thus be accomplish- ed.By fixing the volatile ammonia,in which resides a fertilizing energy,the value of excre- mental manures ts greatly enhanced,while the imprisonment of all offensive odors,renders them capable of being transported,diluted and applied,without any inconvenience or disgust. [It is a point worthy of investigation,whether the appiteation of sulphate of iron in solution, would not be of good service inthe barn-yard. If each new layer added to the manure heap were sprinkled with copperas water,much of: that most important element.the ammonia, (which is otherwise lost by reasonof its vola.- tility.)would be changed into a fixed salt,and thus saved. For the facts I have here submitted in regard to the employmentof copperas as adisinfecting agent,Tam indebted to the Report ofthe Com.| missioner of Patents,for the year 1844. LOCOMOTIVE SPEED. The Lowell Courier says that a new en-gine caHed the Camilla,built by Hinkley &Drury,and designed for speed,on the Boston and Lowell Railroad.has driving wheels of 64 feet diameter,and is capa-ble of running a mile in a minute. Forty miles of the New York and Erie Railroad,south and east from Dankirk,are graded and ready for the superstruce On the 12 miles formerly taid downandcompletedtheironhasbeentaken|up as well as the timber sills,and housed for preservation.‘ From the Lancet,August 23,1845. Dr.Le Roy has most happily succeeded in combining Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla with other vegetable ingre- dients,0 as to produce a medicine at once tonic,and purgative,the only perfect discovery of the kind ever made,though a desideratum which the ablest physicians in all ages have eagerly sought for. From the Journal of Pharmacy,July 1,1846. As far as we have had time to Judge,both by hearsay and experience,Dr.Charles Le Roy has made a most valuable discovery,and added a purgative to the list of ; medicines which must take the precedence of all others, as being the safest and most effective.Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry are the principal ingredientsof bis Pills.— We shall recur to them more particularly in our next number.‘ Tor sale by Messrs.Brown &James,Salisbury ;J.| P.Mabry,Lexington ;Phifer &York,Concord.Price,| 25 cents per box.

Secret of Living Lasy.—An Italian bishop,having struggled through great difficulties without complaining,and met with much opposition in the discharge of his functions,without ever betraying the least impatience,an intimate friend of his, who highly admired those virtues,which he considered it impossible to imitate,one day asked the prelate if he could tell him the secret of being always at ease.“Yes,” replied the old man,"|canteach you my secret,and will do so very readily.It consists in nothing more than in making great use of iny eyes.”His friend begged him to explain.°Most willingly”said the bishop.In whatevrr state Iam,I first of all look up to heaven,and remem- ber that my principal business here,is to eet there;LE then look down upon the earth and call to mind the space I shall shortly occupy init;IT then look abroad into the world,and observe what multi- tudes there are,who,in ali respects,have more cause to be unhappy than myself.— Thus I learn where true happiness is placed;where all my cares must end ; and how very little reason |have to re-— pine or complain.” Ir 1s EASY TO MISTAKE.—Did you ever make| a mistake J—onee in your life at least?‘Then for the sake of mercy have charity.Many a man bas been shunned and despised by those who would not make bis acquaintance,because they had heard strange stories respecting him —when after all they mistook the man,or some- body else bad who reported the tales.Men are apt to mistake—very apt indeed.Sometimes | they think they see evils where there really are| their prejudices carry awaynone—sometime |their reason—and sometimes men look so much ‘like other men,that the real sinner-escapes and || {| another has to bear his iniquity.How mach | need have we of Christian charity one towards another!Who will repeat a bad story,even | if it be true?What goed will it do?And what if you shauld sometimes mistake the pet- son—bow-would you feel?Be charitable,we pray you—have real charity one towards the| other. ‘enclosed ina Gen’l.Harrison. The robbery of property,valued at some twenty thousand dollars,which took place at the Patent Office on Wednesday night last,has become a topic of conversation. |ETow it was accomplished so successful ‘is indeed exceedingly mysterious. watchmen,as we understand,are nightly Two employed on the first floor of the Patent Office,and yet not one of these guardians knew any thing of the robbery until infor- med of it in the morning by the individu- al whose duty it is to sweep out the se- cond floor of the building,where the len articles were deposited.They are glass case about three feet ¢,Which case was enclosed in a still larger case.In reaching the valuables the robbers were compelled to break two panes of glass;and,as it is probable the instrument they used was a hammer,it seems astonishing that the watchman did not hear the noise which most have been made by the hammering.The keeper in- forms us that the robbers could not have heen secreted within the building provious to the time of closing.whence we are compelled to conclude thet they must have entered by means of false keys.If such was the case,then how is it that the watchmen,who pretend to have their sta- tiuns on the first floor,did not see the rob- bers when they entered 7? Some of the articles just stolen from the same office only about five years ago; but.owing toa bargain made by the Gov- ernment with the rubbers,they were all restored,We take from the Clipper the following particulars and surmises:. *The articles above enumerated were in a double case,the glass of which had to be broken to reach them.For fear of making a noise,the robbers first spread a piece of pink blotting paper with gum arabic,and pasted it to the outer glass;then with a knile,or piercer,the glass was broken by prying it around the edges.The fragments adhered to the pa- per,and were thus silently removed.It is evident that an effort was made to slide back a portion of the outer case to gain access to the treasure ;but being uncess- ful,the inner glass was likewise broken. The gold snaff box was fastened in such Sto- longne a manner that its removal would pull @- wire and cause an alarm of a bell,the sound of which could be heard all over the room;but,as there were no watchmen there,no good purpose was attained by the arrangement.The robbers (it is sup- posed there were two)went out at a win- dow,about twenty feet above the land. ing.A thick gimblet was found sticking in the frame,to which the end of a rope was sustained.Onthesi!la bottle of gum arabie was discovered,and a colt,made of rope,with a place for the hand,and heavy ends of lead.This wasthe means of defence—a silent instrument of death.” THE BEST DUG POWER. We saw a few days since at the Cabi- net shop of Mr.Joseph Peckover,in’this city,a most excellent application of dog power to the propulsion of machinery,which from its simplicty and cheapness and construction could be used to advan. tage wherever a small power is wanted. Ir consists ofa large wooden dram 11 feet diameter and 15 inches wide,the axle ef the drum turning on friction wheels in or- der to lessen the friction.The dog was placed inside the drum turniag it by his Weight in the same manner that a squir- rel turns a wheel.By the power thus pruduced Mr.Peckover drives two up right saws for curves,one small circular saw and two turning lathes for woad, but not all at once.—He employs two Newfoundland dogs for this work and has trained them for itadmirably.By a word from his master the dog leaps from his kennel in the yard,runs down into the cellar and jumps into the wheel.After working two hours this dog is released by the other.and so alternately through the day.We noticed in our paper a few weeks since the dog power which was exhibited at the Fairin this city.Inthat case the dog was fastened by the neck to a circular platform and made to work it around,the operation being much more laborious for the dog and producing less power.By Mr.Peckover’s plan the dogs are not fastened and seem delighted at the privilege of turning the drum.At a very trifling cost any farmer can employ Do Tuis,aND LIBERTY Is saFE.” A SEASONABLE STORY.

RELIGION OF THE RUSSIANS. The religion of the Russian is more matter of belief and ceremonial than of action:he seldom combines faith and works.He will commit a robbery,and| forthwith proceed to the church to cross| and prostrate himself;and.not improba- bly.he will commit the same crime at the first possible opportunity.A’figare of the Virgin Mary,with a burning lamp| before it bangs within his shop,and bis| patron saint occupies an additional niche 5. but he will not hesitate to impose on his| customers to the utmost of his power:his conscience is no graven table,but stands. self-absolved by the sponge-like virtue of| his creed.1]have seen the steps of a | church crowded with people,awaiting the exit of a bishop,to kiss his hands,clothes, and even his feet;his holy touch being regarded as an act of regeneration.The Whole peried of Lent is kept so rigidly as | a fast that not an atom of animal subsist-| ence enters into the food used at that) time ;vegetable oi],not of the best quali-|ty,being substituted for butter.I]have known a person have recourse to an emet- ic after having incautiously eaten some- thing of which an egg had formed an in- gredient.This lengthened mortification| is borne with the most exemplary ferti- tude:but,unhappily,that is the only vir-, tue attached to so praiseworthy of self: denial;for the moment the hour of mid- night on [astern-eve announces,with the roar of artillery and the ringing of bells, the glad tidings of release to the anxious multitude,than the city is blazing with festivity,the eating houses are thronged, and dissipation and the grossest epicurism reign witheunbridled license.The church-| cs up to this moment are densely throng:| ed.especially the Kazancathedral,around | which a uumerous body of priests,bear- ing banners and torches and followed by crowds of people,wind in procession.seek-|ing the body of the Saviour.‘They pro-, claim the search to have been unsuceess- ful,and cominence from the altar,*Chris- tos Voshkriss,Christ is risen.<A scene of general congratuhatio;ensues:people embrace one another indiscriminately,and | at least one good point ts gained,out ofthegreatmassofsuperstitionandpainful |absurdity,in this grand display of *bro-|therly love.”Piled in the recesses of the church,and spread under the protecting interposition of the columns,are heaps of’. dishes,with viands intended for the ap- proaching banquets,after having received | the blessing of the priest.It is difficult to say where devotion begins,or sensual:| ity stops;if the service of the Creator be not altogether secondary to the gratifien-tion of the creature.The fast,thus seru-paulously observed,and riotously closed.is |uuproductive of the least moral good:instead of chastening the mind and oper-ating on its worldly tendencies,the sen-sual appetites,so long restrained.becomeImpatientforitstermination,and a scene |of intolerable depravity and licentiousnessensues.A more complete exemplication of the parable of the unclean spirit.which, after walking through dry places,return. ed to ifs house,and found it swept and| garnished.cannot be imagined.The tein. ‘poral penalty is however,ip numerous in- stances soon paid;for,it isa well known fact.that more deaths ensue from the ef-fects of this one debauch.than occur from hike causes throughout the empire ina whole year.—Thomson's Life in Russia.

S a whole nation has spoken enthusiastically of the unrivailed excellence of Dr.Le Universal Pills,it may seem useless to publish individu- al certificates ;still we feel induced to yield to custom,by | adinitting the following ;the morewillingly,asthey ema- nate from persons who are not likely to be misled,by the popularexcitement which the appearance of those Pills | 'has occasioned. From the Medical Times,Sept.18,1845. Opposed as we are to modern patent medicines,we , cannot be silent to the virtues of Dr.Le Roy’s much laud- ed discovery.His Pills are indeed a purgative which may be taken without risk,or the advice of a physician;| for they produce evacuation without weakness,and cause energy in the digestive functions,without straining them, and thus paving the way for re-action and apathy. from the Lancet,August 23,1845. Dr.Le Roy has most happily succeeded in combining Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla with other vegetable ingre- dients,so as to produce a medicine at once tonic,and | purgative,the only perfect discovery of the kind ever| made,though a desideratum which the ablest physicians | in all ages have eagerly sought for. From the Journal of Pharmacy,July 1,1846. As faras we have had time to judge,both by hearsay | and experience,Dr.Charles Le Rey has made a most valuable discovery,and added a purgative to the list of medicines which mnust take the precedence of all others, as being the safest and most effective. Veshall recur to them more particularly in our next number. For sale by Messrs.Brown &Jaines,Salisbury ;J.

ALISBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1848. From the Nationa! Intelligencer. Asuevitte, (N. C.) Oct. 14, 1848. Gentlemen: As you have recently been | publishing a series of letters in relation to that portion of the Alleghany range which is situated in North Carolina, you may, perhaps, find matter of interest in the sub- ject of this communication. My purpose in making it is not only to present to the consideration of those learned or curious in geology, facts singular and interesting in themselves, but also, by means of your widely disseminated paper, to stimulate an inquiry as to whether similar pheno- mena have been observed in any other parts of the Alleghany range. A number of persons had stated to me that at different periods, within the recol- lection of persons now living, a portion of a certain mountain in Haywood county had been violently agitated and broken to | fragments were separated only a few inch- the earth, and forced up bodily by pluton.. es, rendering it almost certain that it had ic action, there is as little reason to be- throw the pieces far apart. Some parts of the surface of the earth have sunk down irregularly a few feet, other portions have been raised. There /are a number of little elevations or hil- _ locks, some of a few feet only in extent, and others twenty and thirty yards over. The largest rise at the centre to the height | of eight or ten feet, and slope gradually down ; some of these have been surroun- | ded on all sides by a fissure, which is not yet entirely filled up. In some instances | the trees on theirsides, none of them large. are bent considerably from the perpendic- ular, showing that they had attained some | size before the change of level took place on the surface where they grow. The sides of the mountain generally are pieces. The first of these shocks remem» _covered by a good vegetable mould, not bered by any person whom I have seen, Particularly rocky, and sustaining trees of occurred just prior to the last war with England, in the year.J812. Since then some half a dozen or more have been no- ticed. The Jatest occurred something /more than three years ago, on a clear These shocks have> usually occurred, or at least been more frequently, observed, in calm weather.— They have generally been heard distinct- ly by persons in the town of Waynesville, some twenty miles off. The sound is de- scribed as resembling of distant thunder, but no shaking of the earth is felt at that distance. In the immediate vicinity of /the mountain, and for four or five miles around, this sound is accompanied by a slight trembling of the earth, which con- tinues as long as the sound lasts—that is, for one or two minutes. After each of these shocks the mountain was found to be freshly rent and broken in various places. Having an opportunity afforded me a few days since, | paid a visit to the local- ity, and devoted a few hours to a burried, examination. It is situated in the north- eastern section of Haywood county, near the head of Fine’s creek. The ‘bed of | the little creek at the mountain is proba- bly elevated some twenty six or seven hundred feet above the level of the ocean. The valley of the French Broad, at the Warm Springs, some filteen miles distant, is twelve hundred feet lower. They are separated, however, by a mountain ride of more than four thousand feet elevation _above the sea, and there are high moun- large size. But along the belt of convul- ‘sion the rocks are much more abundant, | and there are only young trees growing, the elasticity of which enabled them to stand during the shocks. With reference tothe mineral structure of the locality. it may be remarked that that entire section seems to constitute a_ hypogene formation. It consists of gra- nites, gneiss, sometimes porphyritic. horn- blende rock, micaceous schists. clay slate, -and various other metamorphic strata.— The nearest aqueous rocks that I know of | are thc conglomerate sand-stones and se- dimentary limestone, in the vicinity of the Warm Springs, fifteen miles distant in a direct line. If any volcanic rock has been found in hundreds of miles I am not aware of it. The mountain itself bears the most _indubitable marks of plutonic origin. It consists mainly of a grayish white granite, _in which the felspar greatly predominates, but it is sometimes rendered dark by an excess of mica in minute black scales.— This latter mineral | saw also there in small rather irregular crystals. Some portions of the rock contained, however, | its three ingredients, in nearly equal pro-— portions ; the quartz, in color, frequently | approaching ash gray. In several places I] observed that the granite was cut verti- | the surface as much as it appears to have | supposition that the solid crust of the globe | _putrify, vomiting, and swelling of the ab- cally by veins of gray translucent quartz, of from one to six inches in thickness.— | been broken by a sudden shock or jar, | lieve that any cavities could exist. In fact, which did not continue long enongh to | they are never found under granites. On looking at the surface of the ground at this place there is no appearance to indi cate any general sinking of the mass. At the top of the ridge, where the fractures are observable across it, there is no vari- ation in the slope of the surface or depres- sion of the broken parts. Immediately below it, where the mountain has great | steepness, equal at least to an inclination of forty five degrees, where the line of fracture is parallel to the direction of the ridge, the surface is sunk suddenly ten or fifteen feet. This state of things, howev- er, would inevitably be produced at such an inclination by the force of gravity a- lone, causing the parts separated by the shock to sink somewhat as they descend the mountain side. Lower down, where the steepness is not so great, the eleva- tions much exceed the depressions. The same is true of the appearances on the south side of the branch, where the sur- face is almost level for several hundred yards; and I think that any one survey: ing the whole of the disturbed ground will | be brought to the conclusion that there has been a general upheaval rather than a depression, and that the irregularities now observable are due toa force acting from below, which has during the shocks unequally raised different parts of the sur- face. One of the earlier geologists, while this science was in its infancy, would pro- _bably have ascribed these phenomena to | the presence underneath the surface of a | bed of pyrites. bituminous shale, or some ‘other substanee capable of spontaneous ‘combustion, which had taken fire from _ being penetrated by a stream of water or “some other accidental cause. If such a combustion were to take place at a conside- | rable depth below the surface, and should to a considerable extent heat the strata above, /they would thereby be expanded and \ “ee c ‘fact is not | subsequently found a great ouantity: of | tions parallel to the magnetic equateri, | The observations snd experiments of Mr. Fox Lyell. establistied the faet that thers: inder” at the point, the statement of are electro magnetic currents along dee perhaps entitled to more weight | talliferous veins.

It is probable, however, that some dif- ficulty will attend any explanation tbat can be otlered in relation to the phenom- ena at this place. We know that the elevation of the surface of the earth is at many places undergoing a change, sograd- ual as not to be observed at any one time. Some of the north-western parts of Eu- rope, for example, are experiencing a slow upheaval equal to five or six feet in a century, while on the coast of Green- land the subsidence, or depression, is such, that even the ignorant inhabitants have i ter. | thickened so as to be forced upward.— | | Such an expansion, though it would be less in granite than in some other strata as shown by your fellow-townsman, Col.

Again, it is well known that earth. | quakes from time to time agitate violent- ly portions of the earth’s surface of grea- ter or less extent; that while one single shock has permanently raised two or three feet the coast of Chili for several hundred miles, others have elevated or depressed comparatively small spaces. It usually happens, however, that when the shock is so forcible at one point as to break the solid strata of the globe, the surrounding parts are violently agitated for considera. | In the present instance, |°. however, shock for half a mile at least in | gible manner than I could do by a mere detail of the appearances and events as ble distance. length and for the breadth of one hundred yards, is such as to cleave a mass of gra- nite of seemingly indefinite extent. and so quick and sudden as to displace the | + these phenomena. smnallest fragments on the surface ; and yet at the house of Mr. Rogers, less than > 'half a mile distant, a slight trembling on- | ly is felt, not sufficient to excite alarm, | while at the distance of a few miles, though ‘the sound is heard, no agitation of the ground is felt.

During any commotion ia the great ocean, of electricity, the currents along sach lines, or rather where they are in ed, might give rise to sensible shocks—The, exceeding quick, vibratory metion, often observed on such oceasions, seems anal agous to some of the observed effects of electricity. In the present instance, the line of force appears to coincide with the direction of the magnetic needle. It is represented that the sound accompanying the convulsions is heard more distinetly at Waynesville, twenty miles due South, than it is within two or three miles to the east or west of the locality, seeming to imply that the force may be exerted in A “no analogy to the facts under caonsidera- | long line, though it is more intense at » particular point. In adverting. however, to the manner in which the phenomena observed at this place, might possibly be accounted for, it is not my expectation to | be able to arrive at their cause. One whose attention is mainly directed to litical affairs, and who at most gets at an occasional glimpse of a book of science, ought neither to assume, nor to be expec- ted to accomplish this. I have adopted the above mode of making suggestions es to the causes, solely to enable me! to ex- plain the facts observed in a more intelli- narrated.

Hunter, Benjamin Baker and wife Han- nah, David Jones and wife Eliza, and Nathan Jones and wife Sarah, Defendants in this case, are inhabitants of another State. It is therefore ordered by Court, that east of the house of Mr. Matthew Rogers. The tob of this ridge, at the place where it has been recently convulsed, is some three or four hundred feet above the creek ; at its western extremity, but it rises ra- pidly for the same distance as it goes off to the eastward towards the higher moun- tain range. The northern side of this ridge | had not time to examine, but the marks of violence are observable at the top of the ridge, and extend in a direc- tion nearly due south down the side of the mountain four or five hundred yards, to a little branch ; thence across it, over a flat or gentle slope, and up the side of the next ridge as far as | went, being for three or four hundred yards. The tract of ground examined by me was perhaps half a mile in length from north tosouth. The ‘breadth of the surface subjected to vio- lence was nowhere more than two hun- dred yards, and generally rather less than one hundred. Along this space the ground has been rent in various places. The fis- sures or cracks most frequently run in a northern direction, and towards the tops the mountains, but they are often at right angles to these, and in fact some may be found in all directions. While some of them are so narrow as to be barely visi- ble, others are three or four feet in width. The annual falling of the leaves and the wasbing of the rains has filled them so ‘that at no place are they more than five or six feet in depth. Along this tract all the trees have been thrown down, and are lying in various directions, some of them six feet in diametcr. One large poplar, which stood directly over one of the fis- sures, was left open, and one-half of the trunk, to the height of more than twenty tions within two miles of the locality, two | considerable deposites of manegic iron ore. The only rock which | observed there possessing any appearance of strat- ification seems to consist of mica, horn- | blende, and a little felspar, in a state of | intimate mixture. Having but a few hours to remain there, I do not pretend thatthere are not many other minerals at the local- ity ; but | have no doubt but that the pre- dominating character of the formation is such as I have endeavored to describe it, and J have been thus minute in order that others may be able to judge more accu- rately ia relation to the cause of the dis- turbances. Before visiting the locality I supposed that the phenomena might be produced by the giving way of some part of the base of the mountain, so as to produce a sinking or sliding of the parts ; but a mo- ment’s examination was decisive on this point. It not unfrequently happens that aqueous rocks on beds of clay, gravel, &c., which may be removed from under- neath them by the action of running wa- ter or other causes. Cavities are thus produced, and it sometimes happen that considerable bodies of secondary lime- stone and other sedimentary strata sink down with a violent shock. This, howev- er, is found to be true only of such strata as are deposited from water. But at the locality under consideration the rocks are exclusively of igneous origin, and I may add. too, of the class termed hypogene or “nether formed.” For though felspar and hornblende have been found in the lower parts of some of the lavas, where the mass had been subjected to great pressure and cooled slowly, yet quartz and mica have never been found as constituents of any | was suggested to me at the place. while escaping through fissures of the rock above, should fail to be observed, in- asmuch as a great volume would be ne- cessary to supply the requisite amount of force, nor is it all conceivable that such a state of things would not be accompa- | nied by a sensible change of temperature at the surface. The difficulty in the way of such a supposition is greatly increased when we consider the form of the long narrow belt acted on, and from the re- currence of the sudden violent shocks af- ter long intervals of quiet. Such a hypo- thesis in fact | do not regard as entitled to more respect than another one which As it has no other merit than that of originality, I should not have thought it worth repeat- ing but for the statement of fact made in support of it. While I was observing the locality, my attention was directed to -on? an elderly man who was gliding with a/ healthy step through the forest, carrying on his left shoulder a rifle, and in his right hand a small hoe, such as the diggers of | ginseng use. His glances, alternating be- tween the distant ridges and the plants about his feet. showed that while looking for deer he was not unmindful of the wants of the inhabitants of the Celestial Empire. On my questioning him in relation to the appearances, he said that he had observ- ed them often after the different shocks ; that the appearances were changed each time at the surface; that I ought to see it just after a shock, before the rain and leaves had filled the cracks, adding that it did “not show at all now.” He express. ed a decided opinion that the convulsions were produced by sever under the sur- face. On my remarking that though 1 knew that that metal in the hands of men through every variety of strata ; but these volcanoes are rarely if ever isolated ; on the contrary, not only the volcanoes now active, but such as have been in a state of rest from the earliest historic era, are distributed along certain great lines of force, or belts, the limits of which seem to have been pretty well defined by geol. ogists. But 1 am not aware of there be- ing any evidence afforded of volcanic ac- tion, either in recent or remote geological ages, within bundreds of miles of this lo- cality. Even if such exist beneath the sea, it must be at least two hundred miles distant. Ifthen.we attribute these con- vulsions to the same causes which have elsewhere generated earthquakes and vol- canoes, it is probable that this is the only point in the Aleghany range thus acted The fact that nothing else of the kind has been, as far as 1 know, published to the world, is by no means conclusive. since the disturbances here have not only been unnoticed by writers, but are even unknown to nine-tenths of those persons living within fifty miles of the spot. Is it then improbable that different points of the great mountain range are sensibly acted on from year to year? It is true that this may be the only locality affected. It might be supposed that there is at this lace a mass of rock, separated wholly or partially from the adjoining strata reach- ing toa great depth. and resting on a flu id basin. the agitation of which occasional. ly would give a shock to this mass. Though such be not at all probable, yet it is con- ceivable that such a mass might posssess the requisite shape ; and if at the top, in- stead of being a single piece. it should have a number of irregular fragments res- ting on it below the surface, then it might not done gently, it will be fatal. MyRIADs oF ANIMALCULES.—In the Arctic seas, where the walter is pure transparent ul- tramarine color, parts of (wenty or thirty square miles, 1.500 feet deep, are green and turhid, from the vast numbers of minute animaicates. Captain Scoresby calculated it would require 80,000 persons, working unceasingly from the creation of man to the present day, to count the number of insects contained in two miles of green water. What, then, must be the amount of animal life in the Polar regions, where one fourth of the Greenland sea, for 10 degrees of latitude, consists of that water. Rartroap Exrravacance.—The . London Times remarks, that a hundred millioe pounds sterling have been lost in England in the baild- ing of Railroads. There has of course, beena serious check to that enterprise in that cousiry. And probably the interests of this country would not suffer, if this branch of our enterprize were conducted with a little more moderation. There is said to be a sweet potato in St. Louis four feet four inches long. That beats New Jersey. We should like to see that sweet potato very much. Seeing is believing. A LARGE SALE.

The rocks are also cloven by these lines. The top of the ridge, which seems originally to have been an entire mass of granite, is broken in places. Not only have those masses of rock, which are chiefly under ground, been cleft open, but fragments lying on the sur- face have been shattered.

The Californian an American newspaper, brings dates to the 4th of Au- | gust and accoaonts of the most flattering | character. I have read a translation of the leading editorial in Spanish, the sub- | stance of which is as follows: A few months ago, it says, we were in the hab- | it of speaking of the agricultural andcom- mercial resources of California as the | spring of its greatest wealth ; and although torday they are not inferior to those of a-— ny ‘other part of the world, agriculture constitutes a very small portion of it, be- cause every interest has become absorbed in the labor of the mines. Some time last | spring, Messrs. Marshall and Bennett, wheu opening a ditch to make some work ina mill which they had built on a bend of the Saramento, found gold which the | current bad deposited under it, and after examining, found it to be pure. Immediate- ly this began to attract the attention of the neighbors. ‘They soon discovered gold in such ‘quantities towards the middle of the river. and also some distance above the mil, that several persons who had before given but little credit to rumors, abandon- ed their homes and went to work in the minem.ln a (ew weeks almost all the popwlation turned out to gather gold. The result was that in less than four months a total revolution was effected in the pros- | pects apd fate of Upper California. Form. erlyy¢apital was found in the hands of a few persons engaged in commercial and Pépeculations; but now, labor pre- over capital, and the laborers have in their hands the great mass of the wealb Fhere are about 4000 whites and a few Indians who have en- gaged in the Inbor of the mine. The city a Francisco, which then contained a population of two thousand souls, is en lirely deserted—only twelve or fifteen per. , sOhs temaining there. In the part of the mine called the “ dry excavation,” no oth- er instrument is needed thana strong butch- er’s knife to dig the gold trom the rocks. | In omper places as in Georgia and North | Carolina, the machinery is very simple for collecting and separating it. The great- est number, however, use an Indian bask- et, in which they place the mud, and shake it until the gold settles to the bottom, and dirt passes out through the sides in the of muddy water. As tothe wealth ofthe mine, saysthe writer, if we were to believe the half of what is said, it would be considered in other regions asthe story of Sinbad the sailor; or the history of Al- ladin’s lamp which only required its pos- gassor.to wish a thing to sce the desire satisfied. in one day. in gold of the purest kind, from three bundred to eight hundred dollars; and Jor many days together at from seven- ty-five toone hundred and fifty dollars , a day, Alihough this is not general, the mean proportion is so well determined. thatmben aman does not collect. with facility. thirty or forty dollars a day, he moves with his basket to another place. Bat as many of those who labor are chil- dren, women, and ignorant Jndians, the average of all the laborers ought to be set downat considerable less. Jt would, how- ever, be safe to say that, taking the gen- eral average, and including the time in cha laces and seeking better “¢x- cavatiwas.” one ounce of gold, daily, is the wet of each man. Supposing that there are floor thousand laborers, they add four thousand ounces, or 364.000 a day to the wealthof the country.

It is to be meaeured in two ways ; first, by the good we expect to do ; and second, by the mischief and misrule we have prevented, by defeating General Cass, a man pledged to fullow all the bad precedents set bim by the present incumbent. , ; We would, however, warn the people against indulging in too extravagant hopes of immediate improvement. We would remind them, that to bring the country up to the state of prosperity which it was in when the tariff of 1842 was repealed, requires time. General Taylor will not be inaugurated until the 4th of March next, and unless an extra session is called, the new Congress will not meet until a year from next We are not without hopes that the present Congress may do something to re- vive the prosperity of the nation, though we ad- mit they are but slight.

We have no apology to make for support- ing General Taylor. We glory rather in the art we have taken, and rejoice with our whvle heart that be has been chosen. Again: we are glad that Gen. Taylor comes into power without being hampered by caucus pledges, or manacled by what are called plat. forms—contrivances generally manufactured by politicians, for party and personal ends. Gen- eral Taylor will be free to act as a good and true Whig, knowing no platform but the Con. stitution, and acknowledging no dictator but the wise impulses of an honest heart. His Admin- istration will be truly national. Under bis be- _nign and prudent counsels, theland wili be made 10 bloom and blossom as the rose. Appropria- tions will be made for the improvement of our rivers and harbors ; laws will be passed to pro- tect and encourage our home industry ; and thus will labor, American labor, with her hand. maid, Commerce, receive vitality, strength, and encouragement; and thus will they bless our land, and beautify it.

GREAT FIRES IN NEW YORK. A letter written on Sunday to the Philadelphia Inquirer says :— : We were visited last night by several dread- ful fires, which destroyed an immense amount | of property, and a great deal of animal life. The first fire broke out in Murphy’s stage es. | tablishment, on the corner of 27th street and ‘Third avenue, and destroyed one hundred and fifly horses, twenty-six stages, twenty-five sleighs, a factory attached, a Methodist Church Public School No. | 15, several small dwelling houses, two good | frame dwellings, and St. Barnabas Protestant Episcopal Church. The whole loss will not fail much short of one hundred and fifty thou- Mr. Murphy’s loss is fifiy thou. sand dollars, only twenty-five hundred of which were insured. He commenced life a poor boy, and by industry and perseverance finally be. came a rich man. In one night he is render- ed worthless by this fire. Anotber conflagration occurred at the corner of Bowery and Broome street, on the line ofthe Harlem Railroad. It destroyed six houses, val- ned at thirty thousand dollars, and damaged the Rev. Dr. Cone’s Stone Church to the amount of about one thousand dollars. While these fires were raging, athird broke -out on the corner of Eighth avenue and 35th street, in a stable, which, with two dwelling houses, was destroyed. Loss estimated at $18,000. And while all those three fires were in full career, another burst out in West 17th street, which demolished six houses and destroyed four horses. [am glad that I have done with the sad catalogue. Another dispatch says :— The St. Barnabas Episcopal Methodist Church was insured for 35.000. The school. . house was also insured. ‘The incendiary was chased several squares by the watchmen, but succceded in effecting their escape. Fire Escapges.—Vhe Fire Department of London is provided with long sacks with a hoop at one end, with hooks to attach to the sides and sills of the windows. The other end be- ing held in the street, persons or packages are slid through them with perfect case and safety.

Thirty days | afier,a New York house imported a lot of the same goods, and entered them at a cost of $4 80, or eleven per cent on the cost: amounting, in fact, to what importers generally would consid. er quite a sufficient profit.

We do not find fault of Mr. A. because of his desire to counteract this or any oth- 5 “ proceeding,” which in his judgment was likely to injure the cause of Democ- acy, of which he is a disciple. He has y right todo that. But he is highly cen- sorable for the method to which he resort- ,d inthiscase.

If he could not have obtained one of these papers why not go out and spread a report of the fact where- ever he went-—his, word, no doubt, would bave been taken? Mr. A. was, at that time, a gentleman in whose veracity all had confidence: why did he not content himself with a denunciation of the “ elec- ioneering trick,” as he considered it. It rannot be said that he had not time: He might just as easily have published a hand- bill denouncing the “ expected fraud,” as o have had fraudulent tickets printed.— hy did he not doit. He might have pied these tickets into his hand-bill, and pread the news for a thousand miles a- nd; but he did not choose to take that course, which would have been open and fair. He chose to adopt the only course which could act prejudicial to the Whigs; —the only course which could place them ja a false position, and he must abide the consequences of his choice. !

Observer. For the Watchman. AN OLD CUSTOM DISUSED. Many customs come gradually into use, and as grad- ually pass away. When old people look back to the days when they were young, they are prone to commend ‘the former days as better than these.” But they are obliged to confess that in some things there has been an | improvement. Customs once in ase, both troublesome and expensive, have been dropped. We will mention | ' one, which perhaps, the cavse of Temperance. has had an influence in removing. We allude to the practice of drinking and feasting at Wakes and Funeruls. In the first settlement of the country when people were few and scattered, it was a matter of necessity ; or at least hospitality, that persons who came great distances, and perhaps returned home ' the same day, should receive some refreshment, when they attended the funeral of a relative or neighbor.— And the old custom was for each person as he arrived ‘at the house of the afflicted family, to be treated to spir- | passed around. letter received yesterday afiernoon from the | Vice President elect, we plead guilty to trench. ing somewhat upon the inviolability of private correspondence ; but the sentiments avowed by Mr. Fillmore are so honorable and just, so tru- ly patriotic and national, and will everywhere | be read with so much pleasure, that we feel that we are justified and rendering a service in making them public : * * * 8 'Po me there is no manifestation of popular sentiment which calls up such deep feelings of gratitude as that generous vote of my old fiieuds and early constituents of the county of Erie.

In some instances tables were set out in the4ard, or in the street, where all that came could freely help themselves to wha: kind and quantity of liquor they chose. This was no small trouble and expense ; but custom is a tyrant. This practice has al- most or quite gone out of use since 1820 or 1825 ; great- ly to the improvement of the morals of the community; the saving of expense ; and the comfort of mourners. REMARKER. > The Whigs of Raleigh celebrated the victory of Old Zack on the 17th instant, and those of Wilmington From every part of the country we ob- serve the Whigs have manifested their joy by torchlight _ processions, &c. expressing the gratification and pride which L feel in receiving so flattering a vole in my na- tive State, personal to myself, and, therefore, of litte im- | portance. | with which the Whig ticket has been sustained every where, North and South, East and West, (is a just cause of National (elicitation. It proves that the great Whig party is truly a Na- tional party—that it occupies that safe and con. | servative ground which secures lo every section ‘ofthe country all that it has a right to claim under the guaranty of the Constitution—that such rights are inviolate—and as to all ‘other | questions of mere policy, where Congress has the constitutional right to legislate, the will of the people, as expressed through their represen. talives in Congress, is to control, and that will | is not to be defeated by the arbitrary interposi- ‘tion of the vetopower. ‘This simple rule, which holds sacred all constitutional guaranties, and leaves the law-making power where the Con. stitution placed it, in Congress, relieves the par- ty at once from all the embarrassing questions that arise out of sectional differences of opinion, | and enables it to act harmoniously tor the good of the country. When the President ceases to control the law-making power, his individual | opinions of what the law ought to be, becomes comparatively unimportant. Hence we have seen General Taylor, though attacked asa slave holder and a pro slavery man at the North, cor. | dially supported and triumphantly elected by men opposed to slavery in all its forms ; and though I have been charged, at the South, in the most gross and wanton manner, with being | an abolitionist and an incendiary, yet the Whigs | of the South have cast these calumnies to the | winds, and, without asking or expecting any. — thing more than what the Constitution guaran- ties to them on this subject, they have yielded to me a most hearty and enthusiastic support, This was particularly so in New Orleans, where tLe attack was most violent. Really those Southern Whigs are noble fel- lows. Would you not lament to see the Union dissolved, if tor no other cause than that it sep- erated us from such true, noble and high-mind- ed associates? But I regard this election as putting an end to all ideas ofdisunion. It raises up a National party, occupying a middle ground, | and leaves the fanatics and disunionists, North | fair fabric of ove Constitution. petual,” The Fraudulent Whig Ticke's. says, in | FULLY, “ by the exhibition o explained to the good people of lumnbus, the conspiracy that was plotting against ‘them and their country.” Most successfully did he ?

CHOLERA. At this momentous crisis, when both the public and professional minds are so wholly en. grossed wiih the anticipated ravages of so ter- ribie a scourge to the human race, as Cholera —shonld it reach our shores—and especially when multitudes of opinions are being express. ed in algfost every possible form of publication, | we feeBit incumbent on us to take a brief sur. | vey of the malady. Various theoretical and hypothetical disqui- sitiops have been entered into by eminent phy- sicighs, attempting to explain the phenomena, natur®, tduse, prevention and treatment of Chol- eta 5. but without any practical utility; some aécribing its pestiléntial approach to a fungous grigin—others its connection with impurity— sowe attributing it to ils epidemic characier— | others to a voleaic origin, and so on. Differ. ing as ductors generally do, it is, nevertheless, curivos, however, to ubserve how often in the treatment of Cholera, where the views enter- tained of the nature, origin and mode of propa. gation of the malady are at variance, that the plans of treatment recommendedare nearly iden- Heal: some advocating * Venesection”—others preferring as curative measures stimulating emetics—artificial heat, calomel with opium | and the * saline treatment.” | Again, hydropathy and homaepathy have not | been without their advocates : cold strong cof. | fee and cold water with cold decoctions of Pe. | muvian bark are recommended. ‘The preventi- | tives to Cholera, according to homapathists, are a globule or drop of cainphorated spirit, or plate of bri:h! copper next the skin! But doe- tors like wise differ among homapathists as well as a}lopathists. There is no specific for Cholera, wherewith, | on al) occasions, to avert its fatal progress, any more than for another disease. Such preten- sions may be salely left to empirics and to char- latans. On the other hand the differences of opinion and the proposed remedies prove high. ly beneficial ; for it’ provokes discussion and eliminates truch. tis by a difference of opin. ion alone that we can arrive at just and correct conclusions. All experience attests that Chol- | era must be combatted according to the symp- tems which present themselves. The results arrived at by the consideration of the greatest number of opinions is that the preliminary diar. | thoea is best to be treated by astringents. ‘The | prgléssional man may choose, according to the | agé and tetnperament of bis patient and the se. verity of the symptoma betweenthe simple chalk mixture and added astringents—no doubt a mul- fiplicity of agents of the same class are advan. owever it is one of the most posi. of multiplied experience tbat the use opium retards, if it dues not impede re- in the afier stages—and in cases where ceniam and hyoscyamus with mercurial prepa gations are employed, it is evidently the satest as it fulfils two indications—to allay diarrbaea and restore the functions of the liver. Where the malady begins with vomiting or with purging combined the best treatment, should the constitution admit it, would be emet- des of.sa)t and water or of innstard to give to- nicity to the stamach, which may be followed up by the admiaistration of quinine in combina. | (yap with iron andalkaline ¢ffervescing draughts. Should such treatment combined with mustard paultices fail to combat the severity of the at. tack ; then carbonate of ammonia—camphor with Lrandy and water and calomel and opium or calomel! in large doses may be had recourse to. Strong s'imulants internally and externally are likewise beneficial—such as naptha, assa- foetida, &e. [If calomel fail in its action, Cro- don oil must be tried.

In the hours devoted to their ruin, these infatuated people may be seen, at nine o’clock in the even. ing, in allthe different stages. Some entering, half distracted, to feed the craving appetite they | have been obliged to subdue during the day ; others laughing and talking under the influence | of the pipe; while the couches around are fill. ed with their different occupants, who lie lan- | guid, with an idiot-smile upon their countenance, | { too completely under the influence of the drug, | _ to regard passing events, and fast merging into | the wished for consummation.

The famous wall which divides China from. The Chi. | nese say it is more than 3000 miles in length ; but it does not exceed fifieen hundred. Its course is not always even sometimes descend- ing into deep valleys, at others rising to the top | of lofiy mountains. Its beight constantly varies; being much greater in certain situations, espe- cially in the valleys, whilst in some places it dves not rise higher than fifieen feet. In some parts this wall is built entirely of stone and brick mixed; and such is its breadth that carriages can drive along the top at ease. ‘The interior ofthe wall is filled up with earth and it was | (built of that breadth not only for convenience in time of war, but also to facilitate the trans. | port of materials when it was building, as it. otherwise would have’ been impossible to carry it over steep and precipitous spots. It would én fact, have been beneath their advanced civil- ization to pass rocks, ravines and mountains, Without providing a passage for horse and fout soldiers. Although it was built more than eighteen bundred years ago it is still so perfect shat it does not appear to have been finished above accentury. [tis decayed only in a few places, and these dilapidations the Tartars, who are now in possession of China, do not trouble themselves to repair. ‘They only preserve and defend the gates through which there is much trafic. Under the native Chinese Government, one million of soldiers were employed to guard and garrison this marvellous work, SPEED OF THE LOCOMOTIVE. ‘Twenty-three years ago the utility and use. fulness of this invention were doubted by the most practical and scientific men of the age.— In 1814 the speed of George Stephenson’s Kil- inswoith Engine was 4 miles per bour. In 1825, ouly twenty three years ago, Mr. Wood in bis treatise on the railway system takes the standard speed at six miles per hour, drawing ona level a load of 40 tons. Within the last seven years the directors of the London and Birminghain Railroad in’ England, considered that the speed of twenty miles an bour was enough, and if they had been free from compe. tition they no doubt would bave adhered to that rate, from a conscientious conviction that a higher speed was incompatible with economy and safety. The vigor of the broad guage ad. vocates, and the necessity of proving the capa. bilities of that system, have led to pushing the narrow guage lines which have been forced to follow. ‘Thus, the enterprise of directors and the ingenuity of engineers have been kept ona stretch to carry on the rivalry, ‘The result has been that it has trebled that power of locomotives, and the speed of sixty miles per hour is common. In 1829 the high. est speed attained was 29 miles per hour— working speed 10. In 1848 the highest speed attained is 75 miles—working speed 55. How striking the contrast. In 1829 the maximum load of the Locomotive Engine was nine tons —in 1848, less than 20 years, it is 1200; the highest speed then 15 miles, now 75, and in one instance 84 miles per hour. RICH MINE. We learn says the Corpus Christi Star, from one of the traders who recently arrived from heyoud Laredo, that a mining Company with a capital of $400,000. were making arrangements to Work the mines beiweea that place and Mon. clova, and that some of the machinery had al. ready arrived. ‘The mine is said to be a very rich one, and has not been werked since the expulsion of the Spaniards—we presume owing to the proximity of the Indian ranges. For years many of the poorer people bave washed ont the metal in small parcels, and more than 3100 000 thus procured has been brought to _wrist and hand, impossible to describe, be effected, is in reality very difficult, and | only to be learned by constant practice. | In type founding, when the melted met- | ‘al has been poured into the mould, the | workman, by a peculiar turn of his hand, or rather jerk, causes the metal to be sha- ken into all the minute interstices of the mould. In manufacturing imitative pearls. the glass bead forming the pear] bas two holes in its exterior; the liquid made from a pearl-like powder, is inserted into the hol- low of the bead, by a tube, and by a pe- culiar twist of the hand, the single drop introduced is caused to spread itself over the whole surface of the interior, without | superfluity or deficiency being occasioned. | In waxing the corks of blacking bottles, | much cleverness is displayed. The wax | is melted in an open dish, and without brush, ladle. or any other appliance ; the workmen waxes each cork neatly and ex- pediciously, simply by turning the bottle | upside down, and dipping the cork in the | melted .wax. Practice has enabled the men to do this so neatly, that scarcely any wax is allowed to touch the bottle. Again, | to turn the bottle to its proper position, without spilling any of the wax, is appa- rently an exceedingly simple matter ; but it is only by a peculiar movement of the and difficult to imitate, that it is properly effected. One man can seal 100 in ar hour ? In pasting and affixing the labels on the _blacking bottles, much dexterity is also displayed. As one man can paste as ma. | ny labels as two can affix, groupes of three are employed in this department. In pass- ing, the dexterity is shown by the final touch of the brush, which jerks the label | off the heap, and which is caught in the | left hand of the workman, and thrown a- side. This is done so rapidly, that the three-fold operation of pasting, jerking and laying aside, is repeated no less than two | thousand times an hour. The affixing of the labels is a very neat and dexterous | operation ; to the watchful spectator, the bottle is scarcely taken op in bis hand, ere it is set down labled. In packing the bo:tles into casks, much neatness is dis- played. | The heads of certain kinds of pins are formed by a coil or two of fine wire plac- ed atone end. This is cut off froma long | coil fixed in a lath; the workmen cuts of one or two turns of the coil, guided entire- ly by his eye; and such is the manual dexterity displayed in the operation, that | a workman will cut off 20,000 to 30,000. heads without making a single mistake as to the number of turns in each. An ex- pert workman can fasten on from 10,000 | to 15,000 of these heads in a day. | The pointing of pins and needless is_ done solely by the hand. The workman holds 30 or 40 pin lengths in his hand, spread open like a fan; and wonderful dexterity is shown in bringing each part | to the stone, and presenting every point of its circumterence to its grinding action.— In finally papering needles for sale, the females can count and paper 3900 in an hour, AMERICAN LARD. The quantity of lard made in this country, makes one feel greasy Just to think of it. In no part of the world is this business reduced to such perfection as at Cincinnati. Asa sample of its magnitude, we would state that one house last year tried out thirty thousand hogs. ‘To carry on this immense business, it has seven large circular tanks of sufficient capacity to hold fif- teen thousand gallons each. ‘These receive the entire carcase, with the exception of the hams, and the mass is suljected to steam process under a pressure of seventy pounds to the square inch, the effect of which operation is to reduce the whole to one consistence, and every bone to powder. The fat is drawn off by cocks, and the residum, a mere earthly substance, as far as made use of, is taken away for manure.—_ Besides the hogs which reach this factory in entire carcasses, the great mass of heads, ribs, hack bones, tail pieces, feet, and othertrimmings of the hogs, cut up at different pork houses, are | subjected to the same process, in order to ex. | tract every particle of grease. ‘This concern | alone will turn out this season three million six | thousand pounds of lard, five-sixths of which is | No. 1. Nothing can surpass the purity and | beauty of this lard, which is refined as well as | made under steam processes. Six hundred hogs per day pass through these tanks one day | | with another. | YevLtow Mera For Suratainc.—This ar. | ticle is coming extensively into use to supply | the place of copper for sheathing vessels.

S a whole nation has spoken enthusiastically of the unrivalled excellence of Dr. Le Roys Vegetable Universal Pills, it may seem useless to publish individu- al certificates ; still we feel induced to yield to custom, by admitting the following ; the more willingly, as they enia- nate from persons who are not likely to be misled, by the popular excitement which the appearance of those Pills has occasioned. From the Medical Times, Sept. 18, 1845. Opposed as we are to modern patent medicines, we cannot be silent to the virtues of Dr. Le Roy’s much laud- His Pills are indeed a purgative which may be taken without risk, or the advice of a physician ; | for they produce evacuation without weakness, and cause | energy in the digestive functions, without straining them, ' and thus paving the way for re-action and apathy. From the Lancet, August 23, 1845. Dr. Le Roy has most happily succeeded in combining Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla with other vegetable ingre- dients, so as to produce a medicine at once tonic, and | purgative, the only perfect discovery of the kind ever mude, though a desideratum which the ablest physicians in all ages have eagerly sought for. From the Journal of Pharmacy, July 1, 1846. As far as we have had time to judge, both by hearsay and experience, Dr. Charles Le Roy has made a most valuable discovery, and added a purgative to the list of medicines which must take the precedence of all others, as being the safest and most effective. Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry are the principal ingredients of his Pills. — We shall recur to them more particularly in our next number. For sale by Messrs. Brown & James, Salisbury ; J. | P.

Withrare sceptions, beal:h has been enjoyed a- nong our population in an unsual degree, be fruits of the earth have been yielded » abundance, not merely for the supply f{ all our wants, but to relieve the dis- resses of our famishing brethren, in other ands, and our Common Country, has been estored to the blessing of Peace. The Regiment of Volunteers, required or the War with Mexico, which was be- og levied at the last adjournment of the Legislature, was mustered into the service pfthe United States, and embarked for the at of War, as early as practicable, after heir arrivalat Smithville. Being assign- dto the column of the army commanded y Major General Taylor, and reaching ir destination after the memorable de- eat of the enemy at Buena Vista, which verthrew and dispersed his forces in that paarter, they did not have the good for- ane to participate in those victories which save so signally illustrated our arms.— They bore however their full share of the privations and hardships incident tocamp ife, and contributed more than their due oportion of victims to a climate more adful than the foe. Had opportunity n afforded them, to test their prowess battle, | doubt not, that under the dis- ipline and lead of their gallant and able mander, they would have won laurels or themselves and brought home honors for their Country. Under the Resolutions pf the last Session making appropriations o that end, I drew from the Treasury, at undry times, from January, till May 1847, he sum of eleven thousand two hundred thirty dollars, (811,230) for the use of e Regiment, for the disbursement of hich, vouchers have been deposited in he office of the Comptroller of public ac. ourts. An act having been pass: the re- ent Session of Congress. to :: fund tothe tates any monies advanced jor the com- ort and transportation oftheir Volunteers, wee being mustered into service, with Interest on the same, I transinitted to the Secretary of Waran account of the ad- wances just stated, as well as of the trans- | rtation ef a part of the Regiment over the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad, on their way to the rendezvous, and desired its early adjustment. A strict construction having been placed on this act by the War department and proof being demand. ed which requires the vouchers of dis- bursement to be exhibited before its ac- counting officers, it was deemed best to postpone the farther prosecution of the claim until they shall have undergone the | examination of your Comnmnittee of Fi- nance, The above sum is exclusive of an ex- peaditure of $293,03, under a separate esolution of the General Assembly to purchase Flags for the Regiment, which ave been returned to the office of the Adjutant General, and are subject to your disposition. The Fiscal affairs of the State still con- tinue to claim the first place in the consi deration of the Legislature. The detail- ed operations of the Treasury, since the last Session, will be found in the Reports of the Public Treasurer and Comptroller ef public accounts. While its resources have been sufficient to satisfy all just de- ‘mands and to uphold the public credit, it will be perceived that but little progress has been made in extinguishing the State debt, and in making payments, by means obtained on loan, we have only exchanged one creditor for another. In my first mes- sage, to the last General Assembly, [ sta- ted in extenso, the various liabilities of the Treasury. and traced the history of those arising from endorsements for the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad Company. For a clear comprehension of ihe subject at pre- sent, it may be necessary to repeat that on account of her first suretyship for this Company, the State is responsible for the ‘tum of $500,000, of which, the interest is to be paid semi-annually, and the princi- pal “atsuch time after the Ist day of January 1860, as the Legislature shall hereafter appoivt;” that she undertook a second responsibility for the Company to the amount of $286.500, with interest payable in like manner, and the principal in annual instalments of $30,000 each from 1845, till 1854, and that four of these instalments have been already discharged, so that there remain of this class of bonds, outstanding the sum of $166.500. Butto aid the Treasury, in paying these instal- ments of principal, while sustaining the ordinary expenses of government, and the heavy drafts for interest on the aggregate of both’ these classes of debt there has borrowed, from the Bank of Cape Fear, within the last four years, the sum of $99,000. besides the loan from the Lit- erary Fund, hereinafter mentioned. Such are our responsibilities. The scrupulous tegard for the public honor, which is justly the pride of the State requires them to be promptly mét. ‘Po provide for this in the mode least burdensome to the people, is the appropriate daty of their Representa: tives. Unless and antil something may be realized from a re sale of the Railroad or a recovery against its stockholders and ndsmen, our only reliance iS4apou some I for the first, and 25 cts. | ‘Goart ord BRUNER & Editors & Proprietors. > SALISBURY, N. “ Keep a cH®ck UPON ALL YoUR Recers, C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER Do rus, and Liserr* ts sare.” Gen’l. Hurrisen. — + + - Sr - + 7, 1848. <r SS aera” NEW SERIES, VOLUME V,—NUMBER 3}, ° - . . va | . . . “ ; . 7 = 1 measure for the increase of the revenue,’ But with all the aid derivable from such be fully detailed in the Report of the Board which shall furnish the means of gradu- | measures, the Treasury will need addi. — ally curtailing the principal, while itseeps down the interest. The principal of the debt of $500,000 does not press with any immediate force as we have already seen, and requires nothing at present but a pro- vision for its interest. The Bank of Cape Fear is also bound by its Charter to lend to the State, at any time when called for, an amount not exceeding $150,000 and no stipalation is made as to the time of pay- ment. The residue therefore of $166,500, is the only portion of the liability, having | a fixed and early day, for its liquidation. To meet the interest on the three descrip- tions of debt, and the principal as it may become due, of that last referred to,I re- commend, that when the means in the Treasury are insuflicient for these ends, the ‘Treasurer be authorized to issue State Bonds redeemable in ten years, to an a- mount equal to the deficiency. It is also worthy of your attentive inquiry, whether like bonds should not be at once issued in lieu of the debt of $90,000, due the Bank of Cape Fear. To the State it is a mat- ter of indifference, whether she shall have the loan from the Bank, or from other eap- italists. But in a community where Bank- ing capital is limited, and with the freest use of their means, the Banks can afford no greater accommodation, than is requir- ed tor the demands of business, it is a see rious privation to commercial men to be without the facilities, which would be fur- nished by the loan of this amount among them. The advantage of allowing the new loan a considerable time to run, (say ten years,) is that it would ensure its being ‘taken immediately at par if not at a pre- mium. It is however contrary to all true principles of Finance, to contract a loan without also providing not only for the interest, but for the graduai redemption of the principal. If the foregoing sugges. tions be adopted, they will consolidate the Bank debt, and the residue of the sinaller debt on account of the Railroad ina loan ot $256,500. redeemable in ten years.— | And if the present Legislature shall pro- vide for the extinguishment of this amount of the public obligations withtn that pe- riod, and the punctual payment of inter- est on the whole, they will have accom. plished as much, as may be at present needful, leaving to their successors, the adoption of measures for the repayment of the debt of $500,000 “at any time after the Ist day of January, 1860,” as origin- ally stipulated. This arrangement will require a sinking fund of about $25,000 annually for the redemption of the princi- pal, besides about $45,000, for interest.— The latter sum. however, will gradually fall to $30,000 as the debt is diminished. In other words, it will require $70,000 or thereabouts to be annaally applied to the public debt, over and above the ordinary expenses of Government, now averaging about a like sum, making the whole a- mount wanted for each year $140.000. In the Message to the last Legislature already referred to, our Revenue System | was reviewed with reference to the de- mands on the Treasury, and an argument was submitted to demonstrate, that the State annually lost seven or eight thou- sand dollars, from failures to enlist lands for taxation, whereby they had escaped their contingent entirely or from under. valuation, by means of which, it had been avoided in part; and that probably an equal sum was lost in the Poll tax froma like criminal negligence, in rendering lists of taxable persons. Accordingly, the Act of the last Session directed a new assess. ment, and a more vigilant supervision of the enlistment of lands. The result has been, that the land Revenue of 1847, col- lected under the new Law, has exceeded that of 1846, under the old, by the sum of $5,.911,02. A table attached to the Re- port of the public Treasurer will show that the total number of acres taxed in 1846 was 22,468,558. and that in 1847 it rose to 24. 359,075, and that the aggregate valuation of land and town property in 1846 was 55,254,191, and that in 1847 it grew to 66,430.821. With these material additions in quantity and valuation, the amount of taxes received from real estate, is yet lower by twoor three thousand dol- lars, than ought to be obtained at the pre- sent rate. There has been, also, an in- crease in the year of $1561 78 in the poll tax. It appears now to be collected on 173,119 persons, against 165,310 in the previous year, I am yet satisfied however, from the statistics, embodied in my former message, that even this number falls short, by at least 20,000, of the whole taxable population of the State. It therefore will call for your investigation. why a valua- tion on land of $66,430,821, at six cents. on the one hundred dollars value, vields only $37,921 21, and why, out of at least 105,000 taxable polls in the State, more than 20.000 yet escape taxation altogeth- er. The important addition to the reve- nue on real property and polls of near $7,500 by reason of the measures adop- ted at the last Session, has been the pro- duct of no new imposition on our constit- vents, but the mere consequence of a fair and equal contribution to those formerly existing. By a still closer scrutiny of the ‘subject, especially in the department of the Poll tax, | apprehend thata plan may be devised to obtain a still farther inere- ment of five or six thousand dollars, from ' the sources at existing rates. tional meansto reduce our Jiabilities as | proposed above. the present year, from all sources, amounts to 396.604 69. _ $40.000. to be supplied from other resour- _ces.—Of this it may be reasonably calcu- lated. that $12,000 per year may be deriv- -ed, from collections on Cherokee bonds transferred to the Treasury, from the fund of Internal Improvement, under an Act of the last General Assembly. If two cents be added on the hundred dollars value of real estate. as was the law prior to 1821, and six cents on the poll, they would yield enough with the claim on the War department, before mentioned, and the debt secured by mortgage on the Weldon Toll Bridge to the Board of Internal Im. | provement, which is not yet collected, to make up the residue. It is however the peculiar province of the Legislature. to devise the ways and means te fulfil all our engagements, and preserve the public faith. And in suggesting those just nam- ed, which are simple, usual and certainly reliable, I desire to be understood as en- tertaining no preference for the n, above -any others, which the wisdom of the Gen- | -eral Assembly shall approve. The duty of the Executive is performed in presen- ting with frankness the neccesities of the Treasury, leaving the manner and time By correcting the deficien- ces just now exposed, it may be raised to exceed $100,000 leaving a deficit of about of Commissioners. The statement of its Treasurer, published in the newspapers, The Revenue collected, | in analogy to the Report of the Comptroll- | er, on the public Finances, for the year. ending the Ist of November 1847, showed its earningsto have been $68902 57 and disbursements $65.457 93. For the fol- lowing year, ending November Ist, 1848, the earnings were about $57,000 and dis- bursements (exclusive of extraordinary re- pairs, rendered necessary by a conflagra- tion, which destroyed the principal build- ing of the Road at Raleigh.) $52,479 72. Add to this the amount of these repairs viz. $28,791 93 and the sum total of dis- bursements will be $81,271 65. On the night of the 25th of February last, the pot in Raleigh with all their contents ofa combustible nature having been destroy- ed by fire, and the four best locommotives of the road, as well asthe stationary steam ‘port of the Board of Internal Improvement. -machine shop and engine house at the de- | fairs of the road, andto that end shall have ex- amined on oath its officers and head- workmen, if deemed necessary, three modes of disposing of it will, as I coneeive, present themselves, to wit: Ist. A re-sale to the former stockholders by compromise of the suits now pending, if suit- able terms be offered. 2nd. Tu retain it as a permanent property of the State afier repairing itin the best manner. 3rd. ‘To unite it: with another work, through the interiur of the State which will be more particularly noticed in the sequel. ‘The Wilmington and Raleigh Rail. road Company have regularly paid the interest on all their debts, and effected considerable im- provement on their road with the income ofthe lasttwoyears. <A minute statement of the con. dition of their affairs will accompany the Re. 1 am gratified to observe a very handsome addi- tion to their receipts, in the items of freight and | way travel, showing that the local accommoda- engine being seriously endamaged, it be. | came necessary to take immediate steps to repair the injury orto permit the Railroad with its appendages to go to destruction. Finding no power adequate to the exigen- -cy conferred on the commissioners of the road, | convened the Council of State, and | of relief to the proper constitutional de-— | partment of the Government. It is of mo- | ment however that measures should be council, to make sale of the same. ‘taken in due season to liquidate by de-- ‘grees the State’s liabilities, and the pro- _cess herein recommended is not more spee- 'dy than a wise policy demands. If addi- | / tional resources shall be realized from a 'sale of the Railrod or recoveries in the. ‘suits against the stockholders, they will 'come opportunely in furtherance of the. /measures for reduction now proposed, but the expectation of them does not justify its” _ postponement at the present Session. | You will doubtless observe in the Re- ports of the Comptroller, that there is no statement of any tax. received on the suc- cession to estates, real and personal of de- ceased persons, by others than lineal des. | of the Representatives of the people at the /cendants, which was imposed by an act of last Session. Whether the unfruitful- ness of this source of revenue thus far, has ‘been owing to the failure to prescribe | any specific time for its payment to the ‘clerks and for its being accounted for by them, or to other causes, is a question for your investigation. | Agreeably to the instructions of the Act | instituted in the proper Court of Wake | County, against the stockholders and oth- er obligors of the Raliegh and Gaston Railroad Company, to recover the indem- _nity stipulated in the event of any loss to the State, by reason of her suretyships for ‘that Company. The great number of par- ‘ties defendant and the changes of parties by transfers of interest, and by deaths, have delayed the progress of the cause to ‘final decision. And as it embraces the /main subject of controversy between the | State and any of the defendants, the coun- ‘sel for the State have not pressed for tri- al the actions at law against some of them, which had been previously pending. My opinion of the legal responsibilities of these parties, was presented at some length in the message of 1846 and remains ‘unchanged. In consideration however of the circumstances of their case, I am led ‘to the conclusion that it is a proper sub- ject for adjustment by compromise, and ‘that liberal terms should be allowed by the State. The transaction which occa- sioned it has been truly unfortunate for both parties. While on the one hand it has imposed a burthen on the Treasury, which is heavily felt; on the other, the whole capital stock of ($700,000) subseri- bed and paid in has been lost to the indi- dividual contributors and the property In the Road which it went to construct has been purchased in by the State, and af.- fords the accommodation to the public which was the chief inducement with the Legislature in authorizing its construction. If in addition to the loss of the stock al- ready sustained, they shall be subjected to an equal recovery on the responsibili- ties subsequently contracted on account of the Road, it will be a double grievance which many (I apprehend) will be unable to bear. A portion of them have no doubt sufficient means to meet it withqpt mate- rial injury. But the larger number, among whom are widows, orphans, clergymen, mechanics, planters with ; i and moderate estates, have heretofore felt ‘the deprivation of the means invested in this Road, as a calamity, and cannot suf- feran exaction of a like amount now with- out ruin. | submit these observations (be- coming, as | think, the candor and impar- tiality of a Chief Magistrate) with the less reserve from an absence of all inter- est at any time in (hs work, and of con- nexion with any of the persons concerned which could occasion any improper bias. What inay be fitting terms of accommo- dation can only be determined by the Le- gislature, and can be more readily nego- tiated by a conference ol those interested with a committee of your body, than in any other mode. The operations of the Raleigh and Gas- ton Railroad for the past (wo years will ‘of the last Session, I caused an Informa. | ‘tion in the nature of a Bill of Equity to be- submitted to them the alternatives of ei- ther convoking the Legislature, in special Session, to provide the needtul means, or of mortgaging the Railroad property for the sum of $25,060 (:he amount of loss and damage occasioned by the fire, as es- timated by its President) by virtue of the power conferred on the Governor and They advised the adoption of the latter, and an arrangement was made with the Bank of the State of North Carolina, to advance the sum required, at such times as they might be called for by the progress of the repairs, on bonds of the State, reciting on their face the consideration and a deed in trust on the Railroad and its appendant property, to secure their payment. Ac- cordingly, bonds dated in April, May, and July last, amounting inthe whole to $25,- 000 all payable the Ist January next, were negotiated and a deed in trust executed. Some provision is therefore necessary to to take up these bonds. Designing to place the whole subject under the control earliest convenient day, I did not propose any longer term of credit. If this how- ever be desirable, it doubtless can be eas- ily affected, by issuing State Bonds at five years for an equal sum and requiring the Railroad, if retained by the State, to pay the interest as it may accrue and gradu- ally to extinguish the principal. What course shall be adopted by the State in relation to retaining or disposing of this Road yet remains a question of greatinterest. Such had beenthe demand for repairs and improvements that it has yielded no dividends to the Treasury for the last two years. Two new Locomo. ‘tives however have been purchased at a large families | cost of more than $7.000 each, and the other Engines refitted (except one whol- ly ruined by the fire before referred to) so that the motive power of the establish- ment is in better condition than at any time heretofore. New and superior Iron has been also purchased, and laid down, for near ten miles from Gaston South ward, and the whole superstructure of the Road has been renewed for that distance. Ve- ry extensive renewals have also been made in the wood work of the line gener- ally. But the process of repairing is now carried on under great disadvantage, for want of Iron to relay a considerable part of the track, and the present earnings of the Road are insufficient to procure it. The Northern half of the line, over which the heaviest trains pass. was originally laid with thin ron, which is much broken, and occasions a great waste of labor, in temporarily refitting with fragments, that are soon to be broken again, as well as constant damage to the Engines and Cars from the severe wear and tear to which it subjects them. A prudent economy often consists in a liberal expenditure. Any proprietor of this work, would find it his true interest to put it in complete re- pair, even if it were necessary to give lien on the property to raise the means. If therefore the road shall not be transferred to other hands during your sitting, it is ob- viously expedient and proper to purchase immediately Iron Railing sufficient to re- fit it for at least thirty miles. Fifty thou- sand dollars expended for this purpose might enable the State to receive as pro- fits some fifteen, twenty, or twenty-five thousand of the fifty-five to seventy thou- sand, the present income of the road, a large part of which is now spent on the ineffectual reparation above described. Ms operation may go on, as at present without such aid, but they afford no pros- pect of profit. Ifa loan be contracted for this object on liberal time, there can be little doubt of the ability of the road to pay it with interest. And in the event of a sale, it would enhance the price of the whole property by an amount certainly equal to the money thus laid out. It would no doubt be preferable to convert this property into funds, for the relief of the ‘Treasury, rather than to make any other dispo- sition of it. ‘To expose it at auction however, would be to sacrifice it from the magnitude of the interest and the facility with which bidders could combine their capital and put down com. petition. After a committee of your body shall have made a thorough iuvestigation of the af. tion from this work is becomi: g much eatend- ed. They will, I presume, be unable to pay off the principal of their bonds, guaranteed by the State, and amounting to $50,000, which will become due on the Ist of January next.— But so long as they continue to meet the accru- ing interest with their accustomed punctuality, there can be no objection to extending to them the State’s credit, upon the same terms as here- tofure or even fur a longer period. In surveying our territory, with an eye to the present interest and wants of the people, I am more than ever impressed with our destitution of facilities for cheap and speedy transportation. In this regard, however unp!easant may be the admission, I am foreed to the conviction, that we labor under greater disadvantages than any State in the Union: And that we never can be equal competitors with their citizens in our Agriculture, the predominant pursuit among us, until these disadvantages are in a great degree overcome. ‘The man who is obliged to traus- port in waggons over no better roads than ours, -a distance varying from sixty to two hundred and fifiy miles, atthe speed of tweuty five miles per day, can no more contend for profits with him who has the advantage of Railroads or good navigation, than can the Spinning Wheel with the Cotton Mill. Had we ever been ina more favorable situation in this respect, and had the impediments which now beset us been im. posed by huinan power, no sacrifice would be esteemed too great tu affect our deliverance and restore our prosperity. It is therefore a theme for the profoundest consideration of those enjoy- ing the confidence of a constituency thus situat- ed and intending to requite it by a faithful de- votion to their interests, what can be done, or ought to be undertaken, to remove these griev- ances and place their industry and labor on an equal footing with those of their fellow citizens in other States? It must be admitted, that fromn Geographical causes, the question was origin- ally one rather difficult of sylution.. And our former enterprizes in Internal Improvement, having failed from causes not necessary to he now commented on, the State has of late years taken ro action in constructing works of this kind, and many good citizens appear to have concluded, that further effurts were vain, as our doom to privation in this particular was fixed fate. Meanwhile other States have pushed for- ward their improvements (some of them witha rash and extravagant hand, it is true, but in the inain with the most beneficial resulls,) over- coming obstacles far greater than any which impede us, and obtaining for themselves, still greater advantages over us in the competitions — of the market. We are therefure impelled not only by ail the more obvious considerations which appealed to us in furmer times, but by a | reasonable self defence, to abandon further hes- itation and adopt at once a system of improve. ment, commensurate with the wants and inter. est ofthe State. ‘Too much should not be un- dertaken at once, but what may be attempted, should be thoroughly completed. As the com. mencement of such a system, and a hasis, on which other works may be engrafted, to any desirable extent, as our means may from time to time permit,a Railroad from Raleigh to Char. lotte by way of Salisbury, appears to me of the first moment. ‘his scheme has not been much | considered heretofore, and derives much of its importance from a kindred work, now in pro- gress from Charlotte to Columbia, South Caro- lina. Already from Raleigh Northward contin- uous lines of Railroad and Steamboat transpore tation stretch through the towns of Virginia and the great cities of the North, to Portland in Maine, and Buffalo on Lake Erie. Similar works also exist, or are in progress, with a cer- tainty of completion in the course ofa year or two,extending fromCharlotte Southward through Columbia to Charleston: and again from the former of these through Augusta, and the inte- rior of Georgia, and Tennessee to Nashville, as well as to the Mississippi, at Memphis, and to New Orleans, by way of Montgomery and Mo- bile. Through a part of North Carolina alone, a link is wanting, to complete the grand chain of communication, from one extremity of our country to the other, and to furnish to the whole nation those facilities of intercourse which the inhabitants North and South of us, enjoy in their several sections. ‘he connexion proposed therefore, being as it were a bridge overa space now impassible by steam cars, having at cither end the great highways of the North and South, with their numerous branches fur a thousand miles in both directions, promises a reasonable remuneration for the outlay of its construction, from “through” transportation: and in a mili- tary and other points of view. would be of great national advantage. ad nature supplied us with navigable rive. s tike the Mississippi, fluw- ing fiom Raleigh aud Charlotte, respectively, to New York and New Orleans, oreven to Charles. ton, all would at once perceive the benefit of the junction of the two, though the interior of the State, as clearly as di! the genius of Clin. ton that arising from the union of the Hudson with the great Lakes. The parallel may not be yet perfect in the present slate of Railroad conveyances, but is destined to be so at no dis- tant day. But the foregoing are merely incidental in- ducements to undertake this work. ft is coin- mended to us as a great North Carolina im- prorement, appealing (to our interest and State pride, by argaments which it were almost crim 3 market of ;much to their improvement. tha" oad tw iS ‘i * €$ Within tw containing in ft tie miles bt tee mo pct route, tore ian iy 000'coulg ; and wiihta fihy miled, moré ¢ oné fAIf of our whole pulation, who ‘dre ‘far’ removed fram, earwel lat and depetideint ed.’ _tirely on the ‘coimmon Waggon and common for all their transportation, The octasion hot permit me to dwell on its numberless bea- efits in this regard, which wil readily otcug.to any one who looks ou the Map of the State with the cye of a statesman and patriot. 2ad.

It would unite the middlé eng eastern with the western section of the State, in a domestic trade, and exchange of produe- tions too cumbersume fur the present mode of conveyance, besides facilitating travel for health, and social intercourse. 4th. By running ¢ the most practicable route from Raleigh to isbury, und thence turning southwestward te Charlotte, it would bisect the State for more than a hundred miles, bringing the most remote on either side within fifiy miles of the Railroad, and would be in a favorable location for betug extended still farther west, from the former place, and to connect advantageously by means of Turnpike roads with all the Northwestern part of our territory. Whilst it would confer these henefits on the interior country now depreesed and partialty excluded from all profitable commerce, the ob. jection has not been overlooked that it does not point immediately to the seaboard of our own State, and to an increase of the prosperity of our market towns. Let them however not des- pair. Its advantages will be afforded to them in due season. Afier the completion of the main track, a branch to Fayetteville or other point on the navigable water of the Cape Fear River, will be ofeasy accomplishment. -Its er- tension from Raleigh to Goldsboro’ would be invited Ly the connexion thus to be formed, be- tween Wilmington and the upper country, and eventually it might realize that scheme of a central Railroad consecrated by the patriotic labors of Caldwell in an ettension from Golde- boro’ to Beaufort. Whether therefore we re- gard it as a single work, or as the groundwork of an extensive plan, the road from Raleigh to Charlotte appears to be the important improve. ment which -ould first engage our attention and our energivs. And I accordingly recom- mend it to the patronage of the Legislature, to the amount of one half, or at least two fifthe of ‘the capital, necessary for its construction. The distance is about one hundred and sixty mites hy the mail route, and the cost of the road and equipments over such route as may be selected would probably not exceed $1,600,000. As an inducement to aid this scheme, it presents an opportunity for disposing of the Raleigh and Gaston road, as has been intimated inthe pre. ceding remarks, on that topic. A company might be organized to embrace the entire line from Gaston to Charlotte, and the road now owned by the State transferred to them at a fair valuation in payment of ber subscription for stock. Of the particulars of such an arrange. ment if favored by the Legislature, no delinea. tion is here required. [have already treated of this subject with more minuteness than may be appropriate, in an address ofthis kind, because it has as yet attracted but little of the pub- lic attention, and from a deep impression of its utility in alleviating the condition of our indus- try and reviving the waning fortunes of our countrymen—while it gives an assured profit ow ‘the capital invested. I have remarked with much satisfaction that some enterprising persons among our fellow citizens, have commenced the Navigation of Neuse and Jar rivera with Steamboats of a light class, and that a spirit is awakened among the people ofthe upper section of the Cape Fear tc open that river for uavigation to or above the confluence of its main branches. Every suc- cessful effuit at objects of this nature is a pub- ‘lic benefit, and deserves the fostering aid of the Legislature. It has not been thought expedicnt to exereise the power conferred on the Board of Internal Improvement by the last General Assembly to sell the Club-foot and Harlow’s Creek Canal, and it expired by limitation with the opeping of your Session. I beg again to impress on your attention the. indispensable necessity of improving our public roads. [tis little creditable to our e] and intelligence, that although we are consid. erably taxed, in the frequent calls on our labor for this object, our method of maintaining the public highways bas made no advance beyond that existing in England in the time of Pbilip and Mary. If Commissioners not exceeding two in each County, were elected by the C ty Courts with autbority to inspect the public roads, and lay them off on the most fa- vorable ground, and were clothed with author. ity to supervise and direct the bands assembled how to work them, it would, doubtless, tend ‘These Courts should also be invested with power to make ap- propriations from the County funds to alter and improve the most difficult parts, and to make plank roads where necessary and practicable, with the means at their command. Indeed it is urged upon your inquiry, whether the recemt improvement of the plaak soad, may not be im. troduced into extensive use inthis State.

Mr. Patterson, of Burke, Caldwell and Mc- Dowell, presented for the consideration of the Senate, the following Preamble and Resolutions, prefaced by the fullowing remarks : Senators: ft would be ugeless to attempt to disguise the fact, which is apparent to all of us, that we are placed in an awkward and most painful dilemma. Six days have now nearly elapsed, since we first met and attempted to or- ganize this body, and as yet ineffectual steps have been taken to produce that result. It is true that propositions fur a compromise of our difficulties have been made by each of the po- litical parties in the Senate to the other, and by each respectfully declined. It is also true that a self-constituted Committee. consisting of three members of each party, of which I was one, have been most assiduously engaged for the greater part of the Jast two days, in endeavor. ing to arrange some plan of compromise which aa hoped would be satisfactory to their respec. tiv@ fttetids, and thus settle the difficulty. Va. riows propositions were submitted and discuss. ed im that Committee, without arriving at any definite conclusions. I have therefore given up that mode of arranging our differences, in des. pair. Something, however, must be done,— ‘The character of the Old North State, always distinguished for its adherence to law and or. der, is at stake—~the public interests are suffer. ing—necessary and important legislation is de. layed. As an individual member of this body, [have been anxious from the first, to adopt some compromise which would enable us to proceed with the public business, and am now willing to go as far as duty and propriety will allaw me, to accomplish so desirable an object, Why then, [ would ask, cannot something be done?) Where all are actuated by an honest and sincere desire to arrive ata particular re. sult, as [ trust we are, it seems tu me there ought not to be, and cannot be any great diffi- eully in attaining it. Moreover, in my view of the sulject, itis a solemn duty which we owe to our State at large, to our own respective con- stituents, and to ourselves, forthwith to put an end to the existing state of things, 1 had hop. ed that some gentleman, better qualified forthe task than myselt, would have offered some plan oF proposition, to relieve us from the painful at. litude, in which we are placed ; but no one having done so, TL have with some pains, pre- pared a plan of compromise, which | offer on my own responsibility, to my Democratic friends, and also to my brethren of the Whig party, for their consideration, not knowing that either will accept it, hut hoping that it may at least win the approbation ofa sufficient number on both sides, to secure its adoption. The propositions con. tained in this plan, I conceive to be not merely fair, but liberal to the Democratic side of the Benate. and [ offer them in good faith, as the olive branch of peace, not seeking or desiring any advantage, hut solely for the purpose, and with the bope, that they may accomplish the object for which they are intended, by patting an end al once to our present disorganization, and thereby save the character of the State and of ourselves from disgrace. Wuerras, the interests of the Siate require that the Senate should organize without further delay, and whereas this important object is not Jikely ta be effected without cvnciliation and concession: ‘Therefore, Resolved, First: That the Speaker be given to the Demoerntic party, | Secoud : Thatihe prescng Clerks of the Sen. te be retained. =f ; | a Third : ‘That the Sinodiny Gyemigers ‘be “appointed poesia Rules of last Session | —the Whig party %0 have &t least three out of | the séveh on each Committee. Fourth: Ifthe Whigs at any time during the | | Session desire to increase the number on the Committee om Privileges and Elections, they Fifth : That in all cases of a tie in the Com- mittee on Privileges and Elections, each half shall be at liberty to proceed and report the facts, with the testimony to the Senate, four its action. House adjourned until Monday morning 10 o’. | clock. d Nov. 27, 1848. Monp.

Senate be adopted fur the government of the | quested to act as Presiding Officer of the Sen- ate, during the consideration of the said Pream- ble and Resolutions ; which was agreed to, and Mr. Patterson took the Ckair. Mr. Ashe, of New Hanover, moved a ‘‘divis- ion” of the question, in ord2r that the several propositions contained in the Resolutions of Mr. Patterson, might be voted upon separately. After some remarks from Messrs. Gilmer and Woodfin, in opposition to this motion, Mr. Washington, of Craven, said he hoped the Senator from New Hanover, (Mr. Ashe,) would withdraw his call for a division of the question, on the proposition submitted by the Senator from Caldwell, (Mr. Patterson.) He (Mr. W.) had taken no part in the pre- paration of the proposition submitted. He had been unavoidably prevented from attending the meeting, at which it was agreed upon. Some of its features were not entirely acceptable to him—for instance, he could see no good rea- son why the Whig party, with a majonty of 8,- 000 in the popular vote, should not have the Speaker of the Senate, who in the event of the death of the Governor, would ex oflicio become the Governor of the State. © But he had been assured that the very estiinable gentleman (Mr. (iraves,) who had been nominated by our Dem- ocratic friends fur that respectable office, would, if elected, resign his office at the close of the Session, which had to his mind entirely remov. ed the objection suggested. Mr. W. said he night name other objections to separate features of the proposition, but he supposed there was nota Senator present, Whig or Democrat, who was not heartily tired of the | present state of things, and sincerely desirous to organize the Senate, and proceed to busi- ness. The public interest, as well as public opinion, required this atthe hands of Senators, No one was more deeply impressed with that | important truth than was Mr. W. and in a spir. | it of concession and conciliation, he was will. | ing to take the proposition as a compromise of | all existing aifficulties. Asa compromise, how. | ever, it was to be taken as a whole; and he | should regard a division of the question as are. | jection of the proposition. The Senator from New Hanover (Mr. Ashe) had seen fit to say, that he and his triends had aright (after appropriating to themselves the Speaker of the Senate) to divide the Clerks and Doorkeepers. On that subject Mr. W. would simply remark, that while it was true that Mr. Miller, the Principal Clerk, and Mr. Husted, the Assistant, were both Whigs, yet it | was equally true that they were competent and faithful officers, and had discharged the duties of their respective stations with credit to them. selves, and to the satisfaction of all concerned. | He should therefure regret exceedingly to see | them proscribed, The present Door-keepers too, one a Whig, and the other a Democrat, were alsoexcellent | officers of whom no fault could reasonably be found, and Mr. W. should therefore, regardless | of party feeling, vote to retain them both. Ile (Mr. W.) considered the Speakership a | full equivalent to the two Clerkships, anc ifour | Democratic friends did not think so, then Jet the proposition be reversed.

There are several other coun- ties to be heard from, but it is most pro- bable that Col. Wheeler is elected.

TAYLOR received the news of his election with that composure and dig- hity which are so essentially parts of his baracter. He soon afterwards left Baton Rouge | na boat for his plantation on the Missis- sippi ; and a rich scene occurred on board. A passenger got into conversation with him, and among other things said that he ad voted for Cass, though he thought ve- y well of Gen. Taylor as aman, but that e always stuck to the party, and besides, id not exactly think Gen. T. was quali- hed for the office. He then asked the General if he was a Taylor man. to which the General replied, Not much of a one—that is, he did not ote for him—partly because of family rea- and partly because his wife was al- gether opposed to sending “ Old Zach” of to Washington, where she would be obliged to go with him |!” At this moment another passenger step- ped up and accosted the General, calling him by name! The other party looked a litle wild, took a good look on Old Zach and then slipped off, before the Gen’! could have a chance of relieving him from the embarrassment into which he had been wn. The General is in excellent health, and nity, NOT SURPRISING. One of our Democratic exchanges is exulting (after quoting from the Salisbury Watchman the case of the man that was hauled by democrats and voted for Tay- lor) over a man that a Whig took out of il, paid his fees, and carried him to the polls where he voted for Cass!

Mazattan, Oct. 20, 1848. | By the arrival of a vessel at Mazatlan, frem St. Francisco, the most extraordina- ry aceounts continue to be received from the * gold region,” Upper California. fre- | vioug.reports are confirmed and repeated, | that from $60,000 to $100,000 daily are extracted. It is said to be about 23 ¢ca- ‘rats fine. The vessel before mentioned | brought to Mazatlan 75 lbs. and sold it ‘at 14 15 the ounce. There were sever- al whale ships and other vessels laid up there, about 16 in all; their crews had The ship Hontress, New York on 18th April, had been there for some time with government stores, and and two-thirds of her crew are off, and it | ‘is supposed she will be obliged to aban. | don her voyage to Canton. As much as $90 per month had been paid for sailors. Mechanics and laborers, of whom there are very few, get five and six dollars per day, and common cooks can and do get $100 per month, and, in fact the induce- ment at the mines and on shore are so great, that the people will not go to sea. It does not appear that the government 'of California had interfered to prevent these disorders, or to establish any regu- lations over the gold district. I mention this more particularly, to call you atten- tion to the subject, as it may cause great embarrassment; unless the government interfere, with a strong hand, and prevent the migration of all sorts of people to the gold region, to the neglect of all other classes of industry, the country will be thrown back for years. A newkind of Fraudulent Tickets.—The Charlotte Journal says, “ We are assured by a respectable gentleman from Lincoln county, that he knows of two printed tick- ets being used, headed Taylor and Butler, with the Cass Electors, at a precinct in his neighborhood. And it was reported that many others had been sent to the mountains.” | Wisconsin.—Of the Congressmen elec- ted, 1 isa Whig, 1 a Cass, and 1 Free Soil. | | Selected for the Watchman. DESCRIPTION OF THE DEAD SEA AND THE VALLEY OF JORDAN. We quitted the convent at three in the afternoon, as- cended the torrent of the Cedron, and at length, cross- An | ing the ravine, rejoined our route to the East. | opening in the mountain gave us a passing view of Je- | | rusalem. I hardly recognised the city; it seemed a | mass of broken rocks; the sudden appearance of that | city of desolation in the midst of the wilderness, had something in it almost terrifying. She was in truth the | Queen of the Desert. | As we advanced, the aspeet of the mountains continu- ed constantly the same, that is, a powdery white—with- | | out shade, a tree, or even moss. At half past four, we | descended from the lofty chain we had hitherto travers- | ed, and wound along another of inferior elevation. At | length we arrived at the last of the chain of heights, | which close in on the West of the Valley of Jordan and | ‘the Dead Sea. The sun was nearly setting ; we dis- | mounted from our horses, and I lay down to contem- | | plate at leisure the Lake, the Valley, and the River. | When you speak in general of a valley, you conceive | it either cultivated or uncultivated ; if the former, it is | | filled with villages, cornfields, vineyards, and flocks ; if | the latter, it presents grass ot forests; if it is watered by a river, that river has windings and the sinuosities or | projecting points, afford agreeable and varied landscapes. | But here, there is nothing of the kind. Conceive two | long chains of mountains running parallel from north to | south, without projections, without recesses, without ve- | getation. The ridge on the east, called the Mountains | of Arabia, is the most elevated ; viewed at the distance | of eight or ten leagues, it resembles a vast wall, extreme- ly similar to the Jura, as seen from the lake of Geneva, from its form and azure tint. summits nor the smallest peaks; only here and there | slight inequalities, as if the hand of the painter who traced the long lines on the sky, had occasionally trem- bled. | The chain on the western side forms part of the moun- tains of Judea, less elevated and more uneven than the ridge on the west ; it differs also in its character ; itex- | | hibits great masses of rock and sand, which occasional- ly present all the varieties of ruined fortifications, armed men, and floating banners. On the side of Arabia on the other hand, black rocks with perpendicular flanks, | spread from afar their shadows over the waters of the Dead Sea. The smallest bird could not find in those crevices of rock, a morsel of food ; every thing announ- ces a country which has fallen under divine wrath ; ev- ery thing inspires the horror at the incest from whence sprung Ammon and Moab. The valley which lies be- tween these mountains resembles the bottom of a sea, from which the waves have long withdrawn ; banks of gravel, a dried bot tom—rocks covered with sat, deserts of moving sand—here and there stunted arbutus shrubs | grow with difficulty on that arid soil ; their leaves are covered with the salt which had nourished their roots, while their bark has the scent and taste of smoke. In- stead of villages, nothing but the ruins of towers are to be seen. Through the midst of the valley flows a dis- _ colored stream, which seems to drag ite lazy course un- willingly towards the lake. The course is not to be discerned by the water, but by the willows and shrubs which skirt its banks—the Arab conceals himself in these thickets to waylay and rob the pilgrim. Such are the places rendered famous by the maledic- tions of heaven ; that river is the Jordan ; that lake is the Dead Sea ; it appears with a serene surface ; but the gaity cities which are embosomed in its waves have poisoned its waters. life of no living being ; no vessel ever ploughed its bo- | without verdure ; its water frightfully salt, is so heavy that the highest wind can hardly raise it. In travelling in Judea an extreme feeling of ennui frequently seizes | } | the mind, from the sterile monotous aspect of the objects which are presented to the eye ; but when journeying on through these pathless deserts, the expanse seems to spread out to infinity before you, the ennui disappears, and a secret terror is experienced, which far from low- ering the soul, elevates and influences the genius.— | These extraordinary scenes reveal the land desolated by | miracles ; that burning sun,Yhe impetuous eagle, the barren fig tree ; all the poetry, all the pictures of Scrip- ture are there. Every name recalls a mystery ; every | grotto speaks of the life to come ; every peak re-echoes | the voice of a prophet. God himself has spoken on | those shores ; these dried up torrents ; these cleft rocks, | these tombs rent asunder, attest his resistless hand ; the | desert appears mute with terror; and you feel that it has never ventured to break silence since it heard the voice of rhe eternal.—Chateaubriand’s Travels in the East, p. 317. deserted and gone to the gold region.— | You can perceive neither | Its solitary abysses can sustain the | som ;—its shores are without trees; without birds; | I empioyed.iwo-compleie hours ia wandering on ihe. shores of the Dead Sea, notwithstanding -Abe--zemons.

It was ne- commry, therefore, to direct our steps towards the cutve which was nearest us. We struck our tents, and trav- elled for an hour and a half with excessive difficulty, through a fine and silvery sand. We were moving to- wards a little wood of willows and’ tamarinds ; which | 10 my great eurprise, I perceived growing in the midst of the desert. All of a sudden the Bethlemits stopped, and pointed to something at the bottom of a ravine which had not yet attracted my attention. Without te- ing able to say what it was, I perceived a sort ‘of sand which sailed from | rolling on through the fixed banks which surrounded it. | I approached it and saw a yellow stream which could | hardly be distinguished from the sand of its two banks. ; It was deeply farrowed through the rocks and with dif- | cannot discharge for want of launches, | ficalty rolled on,a stream s*rcharged with sand.

No family in the land can afford to be without Holden in its circle ; for when such a periodical can be obtained one year for the trifle of One Dollar, who will not wish to subscribe ? The great feature of Holden is, that, while being pe- culiarly American in sentiment and feeling, it gathers and embodies all the beauties of the French, Englisb and American Periodicals, while discarding their follies and vices. A combination of the Encyclopedia, the Gazet- teer, the Quarterly Review, and the Weekly Newspa- per, it is yet separate and distinct from all, possessing enough of their various qualifications to commend itself to every reader. See what the Press says of Holden: * * « The Editor’s table is very rich and amusing~+in some respects equal to that of the Knickerbocker.”—N Y. Evangelist.

Valuable Lands and Water oie POWER, & ae Ee 4p Sa BE Ee WISH to sell that valuable place on the South Yad- kin River, known as the SHOALS, containing 400 ACRES OF LAND, with its splendid WATER-POWER. The land is ex- cellent, and as to water-power, it is one of the best sites in atl the Southern country for Mills and Factories of all descriptions. Its location is in the centre of the best grain-growing region in all N. Carolina, and is conven- ient to inexhaustible supplies of superior iron ore. The power is sufficient to propel any number of Mills or oth- er Factories. When the contemplated Rail Road through this part of the State shall be completed, this place must become a. large manufacturing town, as it unites all the essentials for such a place. As it is probable any person wishing to purchase will first inspect the place, it is unnecessary here to give any further description of it. In my absence, call on Chas. F. Fisher, in Salisbury, or Col. Wm. F. Kelly, in Mocks- ville, who will show the premises, and give any further information required. CHARLES FISHER.

Mr. Williams, of Mecklenburg, present- ed a bill to condemn aj part of Hayne street, in the town of Monroe, for the pur- pose of building a jail.

Carried. Mr. Hayes then offered the following amendment :—“to take effect from and after its passage.” Adopted. Mr. Ellis, of Rowan, presented a bill to incorporate the town of Salisbury. Re- ferred to the committee on Private Bills. Mr. Courts, of Rockingham. presented a report from the committee on Propositions and Grievances, recommending the pas- sage of the bill in relation to the division of Stokes County—one part to be called Stokes, and the other Forsyth County. Mr. Stanly objected to the name pro- posed for one of the two Counties. | He thought there were many sons of North Carolina, whom we had never honored, whose names might appropriately be giv- en to Counties, and was opposed to going out of the State to find names. Why, he asked, should we go to Georgia after a name to give toa County of North Caro- lina? At this point of Mr. S's remarks, Mr. Courts arose and said that the name pro- ' posed, was that of a son of North Caroli- na—of one who gallantly fought in the last war with Great Britain, and fell upon our Northern frontier. Mr. Stanly then moved an amendment, by inserting this in the preamble. Mr. Steele, of Richmond, was indispos- ed to vote on the bill, until he had heard an explanation of the reasons for division. He hoped that some friend of the bill, would set forth before the House their ob- ject for desiring its passage. Mr. Ellis, of Rowan, presented certain reasons which the Reporter did not dis- tinctly hear. Mr. Satterthwaite, of Pitt, as one of the “Committee to whom the bill had been re- ferred, went at some length into the rea- sons that influenced his support of the bill. He said he knew there was a jealousy on the part of the East, in regard to the divis- e West, a- rising,from the fear that the representa- ee part of the State would be greatly increased thereby. But in the pre- sent ease, there.nced be no fear, for he believed there would be no increase of strength.

In reviewing the great events of the past year, and contrasting (he agitated and disturbed state of other countries with our own tranquil and happy condition, we may congratulate our- selves that we are the most favored people on the face of the earth. While the people of other countries are struggling to establish free institutions, under which man may govern him. self, we are in the actual enjoyment of them— a rich inheritance from our fathers. While en. lightened nations of Europe are convulsed and distracted by civil war or intestine strife, we petiie all our political controversies by the aceful exercise of the rights of freemen atthe lot box. The great republican maxim so deeply engraven on the hearts of our people, that the will of the majority constitutionally ex- pressed, shall prevail, is our sure safeguard a- inst force and violence, It is a subject of just pride, that our fame and character as ana- tion continue rapidly to advance in the estima- tion of the civilized world. ‘Io our wise and free institutions it is to be attributed, that while other nations have achieved glory at the price of the suffering, distress, and impoverishment of their people, we have won our honorable po- _chea which were charged with the sition in the midst of an uninterrupted prosper. | | | ity, and of an increasing individual comfort and happiness.

Pursuing our example, the restrictive sys- sem of Great Britain, our principal foreign cus- tomer, has been relaxed; a more liberal com. mercial policy has been adopted by other en- lightened nations, and our trade has been great.

The Mississippi, so lately the frontier of our country, is now only its centre. With the addition of the late acquisitions, the United States are now estimated to be nearly as large as the whole of Europe. It is estimated by the superintendent of the coast survey, in the ac- companying report, that the extent of the sea. coast of ‘Texas on the Gulf of Mexico is up- wards of four hundred miles; of the coast of Upper California, on the Pacific, of nine hun. dred and seventy miles ; and of Oregon includ. ing the Straits of Fuca, of six hundred and fifty ' miles ; making the whole extent of seacoast on the Pacific one thousand six hundred and twen. ty miles, and the whole extent on both the Pa.

The gold has been thoroughly assayed, it is stated, and | proves to be over twenty-three and a half carats fine ; and for the want of coined | money, many have been compelled to sell | it at ten dollars the ounce, heavy weight. | The cry from there is—“ send us a mint.” | “ We have not taken California in vain, and we will vindicate the treasures she | has cost us, if you will send us a mint.” President Polk, in his late message, who, no doubt, knew all the time what he was | doing, and what was to result from the Mexican War, speaking in relation to these rich mines. recommends to Congress" that a mint be established in California, for the convenience of our citizens in that | distant Territory. The Boston Courier, talking of “Cali-. | fornia and its gold,” says: “ The soil may | be coined into ingots by the acre: you. have only to scratch the dirt under your feet, and you are dusted with clouds of | the precious metal. Sailors runaway from. ships on the coast, and ballast their pock- | ets with pigs of the genuine yellow stuff, 24 carats fine!” &c. &c. Againthe same | "paper says: “Adventurers are starting off for California by the dozen, the score, and | the hundred, hardly allowing themselves | time to pull on their boots, and put bread | ‘and cheese into their pockets.” Improvement in Navigation.—Lieuten- _ant Maury, of the U.S. Navy, is now pub- | Mississippi must have sought a market through | these streams, running into and through our | territory ; and the danger of irritation and col. | ‘lision of interests between Texas as a foreign State and ourselves would have been imminent, while the embarrassments in the commercial! in the bosom of our society of freemen, availa. | intercourse between them must have been con- | stant and unavoidable. Had Texas fallen into | the hands, or under the influence and control of | a strong maritime or military foreign power, as | she might have done, these dangers would have been still greater. ‘They have been avoided _by her voluntary and peaceful annexation to the United States. ‘Texas, from her position, was a natural and almost indispensable part of our territories. Fortunately, she has been re- stored to our country, and now constitutes one of the States of our confederacy, “upon an equal footing with the original States.”” The _salubrity of climate, the fertility of soil, pecu- liarly adapted to the production of some of our most valuable staple commodities, and her com- mercial advantages, must soon make her one of our most populous States. New Mexico, though situated in the interior, ‘and without a seacoast, is known to contain | much fertile land, to abound in rich mines of | the precious metals, and to be capable of sus- _ taining a large population. between our settlements and our possessions in | _ Texas, and those on the Pacific cvast. Upper California, irrespective of the vast mi- _neral wealth recently developed there, holds at _ this day, in point of value and importance to the rest of the Union, the same relation that | Louisiana did, when that fine territory was ac- quired from France forty-five years ago.

For the privilege of publishing the fol- lowing letter we are indebted to the litenese of Dr. Thomas Miller, President of the Board of Health of this city. The original was addressed to a journalist in Constantinople, and was written in French of which the following is a correct trans- lation: [ Nat.

Df a Railroad from Gaston, by way of Ral- eigh and Salisbury, to Charlotte. 1. Let a Joint Stock Company, to be styled The North Carolina Railroad Company,” be orporated, on liberal terms, for 99 years, with capital of $2.000.000, of which one-half shall e subscribed by the State: with power to in- ease its capital to $2. 500.000, if found neces. ry tocomplete and equip the Railroad through seuntire length—the State still subscribing | ad owning one-half of the whole Stock. 2.

The State is to be called on for no fur. r payment until the said sum of $500.000, ribed and paid by the other stockholders, all be in good faith applied according to the tceding stipulation. 6. Afier this sum shall have heen expended the work, whenever the i:nJividnal stockhol- shall be called on for a payment of any her part of their subscription, and shall have de the same, to the amount of three fourths the instalment required, then the State sball Y pari passu on her’s. 1.

During this time add more hot water as it becomes cooled ;the natural animal heat will return immediately throughout the whole body as well as con. sciousness. The patient will soon speak He will be perfectly able to resume his ordinary duties after one or two days. “ Of sixty peasants attacked with chol- era whom | have seen, several had been suddenly attacked while at work in the fields ; others, after having retired in per- fect health to bed and been asleep part of the night, were awakened at dawn of day with the usual symptoms in the greatest intensity: and although assistance was rarely obtained before the expiration of half an hour or even one or two hours, (sometimes six or eight hours, and once ten hours had elapsed.) all have been re- stored to perfect health in such wise as to be ableto resume their business five or six days after being attacked: in some cases on the next day or third day. It has happened, though rarely, that, the blood not Howing long enough, the patient has been bled a second time ; this second time in the arm and notin the foot. In no case has the treatment failed. * A remarkable feature of the efficacy of the treatment is the immediate and per. fect re-establishment of their health in all of the patients, who. instead of losing their strength, seemed, on the contrary, to have acquired new vigor. “In future the visit of the cholera will excite less apprehension in the public than an epidemic of influenza. “] have the honor &c. “JOHN BARKER, “Former Consul Gen. ot England in Egypt. SCOTT, CAMPBELL, AND BYRON. We have listened with admiration to the eloquent have proposed the memory of the immortal bard whose e the penal sum of $1.000.000 payable to a | genius we are this day assembled to celebrate ; but I oe and inane erate peda know not whether the toast which I have now to pro- reasonabie » tO | Road in good repair, and to construct the resi. | ue from Raleigh to Charlotte, and giving a_ horigage on the property transferred as a se. | has not equal claims to our enthusiasm. Your kindness and that of the committee has intrusted to me the memory of three illustrious men—the far-famed suc- cessors of Burns, who have drank deep at the fountains of his genius, and proved themselves the worthy inheri- tors of his inspiration. And Scotland, I rejoice to say, can claim all her own. For if the Tweed has been immortalized by the grave of Scott, the Clyde can boast the birthplace of Campbell, and the mountains of the Dee first inspired the muse of Byron. I rejoice at that | burst of patriotic feeling ; I hail it as the presage, that as Ayrshire has raised a fitting monument to Burns, and Edinburgh has erected a fitting structure to the author of Waverley, so Glasgow will, ere long, raise a worthy monument to the bard whose name will never die while | _ hope pours its baim through the human heart ; and Ab- erdeen will, worthily commemorate the far-famed tra- veller who first inhaled the inspiration of nature amidst the clouds of Loch-na-Gar, and afterwards poured the _ light of his genius over those lands of the sun, where his : descending orb sets-— “ Not as in northern climes obscurely bright, But one unclouded blaze of living light.” Scotland, my lord, may well be proud of having giv- en birth to, or awakened the genius of such men; but she can no longer call these exclusively her own—their names have become household words in every land.— { vedtthent in said Railroady and to aid thes con- Giving tock.a storied tale, , _ Pouring hy trogh every dale ; ' Knitting, as @ moral band, Thy story to thy native land ; - Combining thug the interest high, Which genius lends to beauty’s eye ! Bat the poet who conceived these beautiful lines, has done more than all our ancestors’ valor to immortalize the land of his birth ; for he hae united the imterest of trath with the charms of fiction, and peopled the realm not only with the shadows of time, but the creations of genius. In those brilliant creations, as in the glassy wave, we behold mirrowed the lights, the shadows, the forms of reality ; and yet s So pure, so fair, the mirror gave, As if there lay beneath the wave, Secure from trouble, teil, and care, A world than earthly world more fair. Years have rolled on, bat they have taken nothing, they have added much, to the fame of those illustrious men. Time but the impression deeper makes, As streams their channels deeper wear. The voice of ages has spoken: it has given Campbell and Byron the highest place, with Burns, in lyric poetry, and destined Scott To rival all bat Shakspeare’s name below. Their names now shine in unapproachable splendor, far removed, like the fixed stars, from the clouds and the rivalry of a lower world. To the end of time, they will maintain their exalted station. Never will the cultiva- ted traveller traverse the sea of the Archipelago, that “The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece,” will not re- cur to his recollection; never will he approach the shores of Loch Kattrine, that the image of Ellen Doug- Jas will not be present to his memory; never will he gaze on the cliffs of Britain, that she will not thrill at the exploits of the “ mariners of England, who guard our native seas.” Whence has arisen this great, this uni- My lord it is hard to say whether we have most to admire the brillianey of their fancy, or the creations of their genius, the beauty of their verses, or the magic of their language, the ele- vation of their thoughts, or the pathos of their concep- Yet can each boast a separate grace ; and their age has witnessed in every walk the genius of poetry elevated to its highest strain. In Scott it is variety of conception, truth and fidelity of delineation in charac- ter, graphic details of the olden time, which is chiefly to beadmired. Whocanread without transport his glowing descriptions of the age of chivalry? Itsmassy castlesand gloomy vaults, its haughty nobles and beauteous dames, its gorgeous pageantry and prancing steeds, stand forth under his magic pencil with all the colors and brilliancy of reality. We are present at the shock of armies, we hear the shouts of mortal combatants, we see the flames of burning casiles, we weep in the dungeon _ of captive innocence. Yet who has so well and truly delineated the Jess obtrusive but not less impressive scenes of hum- ble life? Who has so faithfully portrayed the virtues of the cottage ; who has done so much to elevate human nature, by exhibiting its dignity even in the abyss of misfortune ; who has felt so truly and told so well “the might that slumbers in a peasant’s arm?” = In Byron it is the fierce contest of the passions, the yearning of a soul longing for the stern realities of life, amidst the se- duction of its frivolty ; the brilliant conceptions of a mind fraught with the imagery and recollections of the east, which chiefly captivates every mind. His pencil is literally “dipt in the orient hues of heaven.” He transports us to enchanted ground, where the scenes which speak most powerfully to the heart of man are brought successfully before oureyes. The east, with its deathless scenes and cloudless skies ; its wooded steeps and mouldering fanes, its glassy seas and lovely vales, rises up like magic before us. The haughty and yet im- passioned Turk ; the crouching but still gifted Greek ; the wandering Arab, the cruel Tartar, the fanatic Mos- lem, stand before us like living beings, thev are clothed with flesh and blood. But there is one whose recent death we all deplore, but who has lighted “the torch of Hope at nature’s funeral pile,” who has evinced a yet higher inspiration. In Campbell, it is the moral purpo- ses to which he has directed his mighty powers, which is the real secret of his success; the lofty objects to which he has devoted his life, which have proved his passport to immortality. To whatever quarter he has turned his mind, we behold the working of the same el- vated spirit.

Died On the 27th Nov. laet, at her residence in Davie Co., Mrs. MARY FOARD, consort of John Foard, Esq., in the 58th year of her age. To her afflicted and bereaved family—the husband and children, whom she has left behind—the loss which they have thus sustained, is a stroke, whose severity wili not cease to be felt deeply and painfully. Yet while yieldin- 2 reluctant submission to the decree of an in- scrutable Providence, they should find consolation in the reflection that in at last yielding to the complication of diseases, which for seven long years had been gradually wearing her life away, she has made an exchange, which, though to them an irreparable loss, is to her unspeakable gain ; and that while all of her that could die has passed awav, the memory of those excellencies which marked her character, and those virtues which adorned her life, will remain—blooming in primeval freshness, and diffu- sing an undying fragrance.—(Com.

On all hands we mect depression and pecu- niary distrees. The scarcity of money pervades aliclasees. The general distrust aslo commer. cial solvency isapparent every where. We sec the cotton planter vainly endeavoring to hold over his crop—the merchant working bard to meet his certain liabilities, and professional men living alone wpon the wind of promises made tothem. Yelthere isan abuncanee in the land, and no one, not even the poorest and most improvident, is threatened with actual want. Ifthe world could only be forced to stand stit—if its movements bad not been fearfully accellerated by the impetus which has been ap- plied to buman intercourse and business ar- rangements, it perhaps might be feasible to make an attempt to devise means for the relief of the people. But what can be done?) Who is so wise a@ to be able to recommend what would be the best policy fur the country at large to adopt? We hear conventions talked offor the planters. ‘This is next to resolving them out of trouble, without any excrtion on theirown part ; and it does not strike our fancy that any mea. sures could be perfected by means ofa conven. tion which would afford practical relief, What the planters need 1s cusier to come at than the roundabout way of convincing everybody by Bonrention resolves that the present planting system is wrong ab iniio. “Vhey can gain it by individual exertion and furesight laid out ia their labor. The world is sick of conventions. Some ‘years since a Merchants’ convention held fn Charleston, resolved that city into a port of Affect trade, increased on paper alone the busi- ness of the place immensely, ani resulted in tiothing further than by proving the resources of the city in furnishing a magnificent feast in the area of the Charleston Hotel, which was go obvious in its effects, that it left not a trace of the proceedings in the brains of the rejoicing guests. ‘That diuner was the last ever heard of the famous merchants’ convention, which Caused New York to tremble tothe centre of its importing heart. ‘The ships were never built —business took its old course and eait, and the vultures who so quietly sun themseives upon the chimney tops, bave not been despoiied of their municipal rights by the march of trade, which so soon therefore was to overshadow the Of fashions of the place. With this bumbog puinping of fresh blood into old veins in Ore der to entiven the dying body, we hope has ex- ploded also all those schemes which attempt inst reagon, to force new Jife into the pre. <eht systems of the agriculturists of this State. We are the slaves of tyrannical systems, and must work out our own redemption at home. Hereditary bondsmen, know ye not, who would Le free, Themselves must strike the Llow.” “Yes, there is reason for all the distress which pervades the country, and that reason points to the temedies which are to be used in the cure the disease. KEeconciny and independence deoist thé words of the magic key. Let the planter make himselfindependent by producing all that he consumes, and he wil! é where'the secret ofsuccess fics. The athe ecats—the animal food that he ¢ s—the sfeeds which he rides and drives e mules which perform his farm labor—the woaql which clothes his laborers—the leather for (Stee ‘and harness—all these things are sold to thé planter, ata profit, and when he pays for them out of bis cotton crop, it is all swept away. Let the planter make all that he can on his plan- tation—let him rear all the domestic animals he may desire to use, or more if he can, and let him plant marketable crops, not for exchange aw he now dues, but fur cash to be paid to him, to Be invested permanently, or to be spent in the education of his children, and he will find that instead of every year growing poorer he is actually growing richer. wks the planters of the South commence and waciously adhere to this system, and in ‘eree years there wil! not be a single man from Tar river tothe Rio Grande who will desire the aid ofan agricultural convention to help ter out of dithculties arising from the low price af a staple which froa its frequent fluctuation im. 8alue renders ii not only an uncertain in- come; affecting the interest of the planters alone hat‘one which brings in its train ruiu to all who deal wi b the planters. The Law of Libel. A very important deci- sion for printers has been made by the tribunal atBenlis, France. A ceitain Mr. Zellanger, wishing to have a letter, written by him to the Minister of War, put iuto print, was refused by sundry printing offices in Paris, Rouen, and Benlis, on the ground that the letrer contained Weetrong language, which might compromise them ; Mr. Zellanzer appealed to the court at Benlis, which decided thai ‘fthe author chooses to assume the responsibility expressly. the prin. ters can in nowise become responsible for the eeprevsions of the turmer. Refinement.—* 1 don't care a darn whether school keeps or not,” said a vulgar school bey. Wherevpor his more refined companion rebuk.- ed titm, and rendered the sentence thus: “It beboveth me not the value of an anathema, whether the pedagogue presideth atthe temple of erudition or not !” The Difference.—When a poor loafer is keeled up, with an empty bottle by his side, the | papers say —‘Acother victim of intemperance.” | When a respectable citizen eats a dinner that | hia in a few hours, with or without the of docturs, the same paper heads fiis obit. lotice, * Mesterious Providence.” sh the very least. “SOUTH CAROLINA. | We observe that t ere isa question rais- | sed in South Ca a, whether she has not placed he 4a Buch a condition as ‘to lose her .véte Bt the Presidential elec- ‘tion, We mean, of course merely her | right of voting, for we trust she will lose ‘her voté any way, even if she casts it, if the signs in that State are not deceptive. | By the way, of course of this State, at | least as very many of her politicians would | direct if, and as we fear she will pursue, is as usual with her, doing one way and ‘talking another. She talks, as every bo dy knows, asthe most radically democrat- ie State in the Union, while every body knows just as well, that she more nearly _approaches an oligarchy or autocracy. than any of her sisters, by all odds. Her government is directed as little by the | people, as almost any other country with which we are acquainted, either on this or the other side of the Atlantic. A few | persons govern our sister state, and gov- ern it well and wisely too, we most cheer- fully admit. We only refer to the fact as an illustration of our assertion, that she talks and acts on all occasions preciscly oposite. if upon the democratic principle depended the safety, happiness, and very existence of a free people. She does indeed tclk mighty strong. And still when it comes to carry out the doctrine, she won’t let the people do almost any thing for themselves. She will not allow them to make their Governor nor will she allow them an ay or a no inthe selectio2 of their President ; but all democratic supplications or ten- dencies that way, she eschews as earnest- ly and with a somewhat similar spirit, as a noted character of a former day was known to eschew the devil and Tom Jef- ferson. Ler political and social states are as thoroughly aristocratic as a State can well be, in a country like ours whose first principle like that of its mother earth, is to turn on its own axis once in twenty-four hours. And yet to hear her talk of De- mocracy, one would almost expect to find her rulers, should they visit that State, the real sans cullottes, not only unbreeched or knee buckles mispiison of treason at And to hear her talk of monopolies and banks, bless our hearts, one would be horrified at the charge of fostering the largest bank at the South, or: of intimating that the few in he Palmet- to no monopoly State monopolized every thing ! But of the many inconsistencies of our sister State, one perhaps present her ina more absurd point of view than that she now occupies. Of all the States of the South, not one has apparently felt more deeply, or expressed itself more strongly, in relation to the injustice and wrongs of Congress and the North towards the South in connection with the Mexican conquests. By public meetings, their Rep- resentatives in Congress have been instruc- ted to vacate their seats should the wrong be continued. By others, a Southern Con- vention is urged, to take steps to a seces- sion from the Union, we presume, and in short, the whole bearing of the State is towards a conflict with the Central Gov- ernment of the country. Now, the first act of our neighbor, by the way of prepa- ration for this contest, is to lend her aid to take the executive power of this very government from themselves, and to give it into the hands of those they are going to war with. The army and navy of the United States, commanded by the Presi- dent, is nothing, it seems, to South Caro- lina, in a war with the Government, and its influence in their favor of as little val- ue. Oursister seems to covet the position, if she has to conflict with the other States of the Union, of depriving kerself of eve- ry aid, and of voluntarily throwing even the Exexecntive Power of the Union into the hands of those with whom she con- flicts!! This may be a wise course of action, but we hardly think it will be seen in that light any where else in this world, out of the bounds of the Pelmetto State. Southern (Ga.) Recorder. DISPOSAL OF A WIFE. The Duke of Lauraguais, who was one of the most eccentric and profflgate noble- men who lived before the French Revolu- tion in recounting his fortunes thus con- cludes: “But now the only treasure that re- mains to me is this,” pointing to a ring on his finger, “a treasure which no earthly power shall prevail on me to part with. It enables me to bear up with all my mis- fortunes—it is my sole consolation ; this, sir, is my wife—my beloved wife !” 1 thought of the refuge for lunatics, and my countenance probably expressed my feclings. “ No, sir, 1am not mad ; this ring or ra- ther part of it, was once a beautiful and amiable woman—she rendered me during her lifetime, the happiest of mortals ; and when her soul winged its flight tothe cel- estial regions, 1 was determined that so much beauty and loveliness should not be- come the prey.of vile reptiles. I applied to Vandenberg, the chemist, who having placed the fémains in a sheet of asbestos, if was committed to the flames, and re-_ duced by violent heat to a small quantity of powder,, which afterwards by some chemical preparation, was converted into a blue vitrified substance ; here it is, sir, Set in a gold ring—the very quint-essence of my adorable partner "” _ Mexico.—Late accounts represent Mex- Ico tu be in a feverish state, apprehending the return of Santa Anna, the people de. siring bis perpetual banishment by law, the government without bers. umbrella at Paris, having no further use for it when the reign had ceased.

Pride.—Pride is corruption that seems orig- inally ingrafted in our nature: it exerts itself in our first years, and without continual endea. | vours to suppress it, it influences our last.— | Other vices tyrannize over particular ages, and triumph in particular countries. Rage is the | failing of youth, and avarice of age; revenge | is the predominant passion of one country, and inconstancy the characteristic of another; but pride is the native of every country, infects eve- ry climate, and corrupts every nation. It ranges equally through the gardens of the east and the deserts of the south, and reigns no Jess in the cavern of the savage than in the palace of the epicure. Tt mingles with all other vices, and without constant and anxious care, will mingle also with our virtue.x—Dr. Johnson. An old writer thus describes a talkative fe. male :—" IT know a lady, who talks so inces- santly, that she won't give an echo fair play.— | She bas such an everlasting rotation of tongue, | that an echo must wait until she dies, before it | can catch her last words.” High Church and Low Church.—The Par- ish Church of V’bithy, England. is situated on an arclivity, approachable only by a flight of 194 steps.

It is well known to our merchants trading to China and the west coast of Ameriéa, that great inconvenience and loss are experienced from the fact that our coins are not current at their par va- lue in those countries. The powers of Europe, far removed from the west coast of America by the Atlantic ocean which intervenes, and by @ tedious and dangerous navigation a- round the southern cape of the continent ef America, can never successfully com- pete with the United States in the rich and extensive commerce which is opened to us at so much less cost by the acquisi- tion of California. The vast importance and commercial advantages of California have heretofore remained undeveloped by the government ot the country of which it constituted a part. Now that this fine province is a me of our country, all the States of the nion, some more immediately and di- rectly than others, are deeply interested in the speedy development of its wealth &nd resources. No section of our coun- try is more interested, or will be more ti nefited, than the commercial, naviga. ing, and manufacturing interests of the circular letter addressed to collectors of the customs, on the seventh day of Octo- ber last, a copy of which is herewith trans- mitted, exercised all the power with which | he was invested by law. In pursuance of the act of the four- teenth of August last, extending the ben- efit of our post office laws to the people of California, the Postmaster Geucral has appointed two agents, who have pro- ceeded, the one to California, and the oth- er to Oregon, with authority to make the necessary arrangements for carrying its provisions into effect. The monthly line of mail steamers from | Panama to Astoria has been required to “stop and deliver and take mails at San Diego, Monterey, and San Francisco.”— These mail steamers, connected by the isthmus of Panama with the line of mail steamers on the Atlantic between New York and Chagres, will establish a regu- lar mail communication with California. It is our solemn duty to provide, with the least practicable delay, for New Mex- ico and California, regularly organized territorial governments. The causes of the failure to do this at the last session of Congress are well known, and deeply to be regretted. With the opening prospects of increased prosperity and national great- ness which the acquisition of these rich and extensive territorial possessions af- fords, how irrational it would be to forego or to reject these advantages, by the agi- tation of a domestic question which is coeval with the existence of our govern- ment itself, and to endanger by internal strifes, geographical divisions, and heated contests for political power, or for any other cause, the barmony of the glorious Union of our confederated States; that Union which binds us together as one people, and which for sixty years has been our shicld and protection against cvcry system of government which the framers | of the constitution adopted. danger. In the eyes of the world and of posterity, how trivial and insignificant will be all our internal divisions and strug- gles compared with the preservation of this Union of the States in all its vigor and with all its countless blessings! No patriot would foment and excite geogra- phical and sectional divisions. No lover of his country would deliberately calcu- late the valucof the Union. Future gen- erations would look in amazement upon the folly of sucha course. Other nations at the present day would look upon it with astonishment ; and such of them as desire to maintain and perpetuate thrones and monarchical or aristocratical princi- ples, will view it with exultation and de- light, because in it they will see the ele- ments of faction, which they hope must ultimately overturn our system. Ours is the great example of a prosperous and free self-governed republic, commanding the admiration and the*imitation of all the lovers of freedom’ throughout the world. How solemn, therefore, is the du- ty, how impressive the call upon us and upon all parts of our country, to cultivate a patriotic spirit of harmony, of good fel- lowship, of compromise and mutual con- cession, in the administration of the in- comparable system of government formed by our fathers in the midst of almost inse- perable difficulties, and transmitted to us, with the injunction that we should enjoy its blessings and hand it down unimpaired to those who may come after us! In view of the high and responsible du- ties which we owe to ourselves and to mankind, I trust you may be able, at your present session, to approach the adjust- ment of the only domestic question which seriously threatens, or probably ever can threaten, to disturb the harmony and suc- cessful operation of our system. The immensely valuable possessions of New Mexico and California are already inhabited by a considerable population.— Attracted by their great fertility, their mineral wealth, their commercial advan- tages and the salubrity3of the ctimate. emigrants from the older States, in great numbers, are already preparing to seek new homes in these inviting regions. Shall the dissimilarity of the domestic institutions in the different States prevent us from providing for them suitable gov- ernments? These institutions existed at the adoption of the constitution, but the obstacles which they interposed were overcome by that spirit of compromise which is now tinvoked. In a conflict of opinions or of interests, real or imaginary, between different sections of our country, neither can justly demand all which it might desire to obtain. Each, in the true spirit of our institutions, should concede something to the other. Our gallant forces in the Mexican war, | by whose patriotism and unparalleled deeds of arms we obtained these possessions as an indemnity for our just demands a- gainst Mexico, were composed of citizens | who belonged to no one State or section of | our Union. They were men from slave: | holding and non-slaveholding States, from | the North and the South, from the East. andthe West. They were allcompanions- | in-arms and fellow-citizens of the same common country, engaged in the same common cause. When prosecuting that war, they were brethren and friends, and | shared alike with each other common toils, | dangers, and sufferings. Now, whentheir work is ended, when peace is restored, and | \ | : they return again to their homes, put off | the habiliments of war, take their places in society, and resume their pursuits in) civil life, surely a spirit of harmony and_ concession, and of equal regard for the ought to prevail in providing governments for the acquired territories—the fruits of their common service. The whole people | of the United States and of every State | contributed to defray the expenses of that war; and it would not be just for any one section to exclude another from all parti-- cipation in the acquired territory. This would not be in consonance with the just uestion is believed to be rather abstract | 1, whether slavery ever can or would | rtion of the acquired territory, even if it were left to the opinion of the slave. - holding States themselves. From the nature of | the climate and productions, in much the larger portion of it, it is certain it could never exist ; and in the remainder, the probabilities are, it | would not. But however this may be, the ques- | tion, involving, as it does, & principle of equali- ty of rights of the seperate and several States, as equal co-partners in the confederacy, should not be disregarded. In organizing gov tories, no duty impo Constitution requires t on the subject of slavery, L do so is a only seriously questioned, but de- ied by many of the soundest expounders of that len Y Whether Congress shall legislaie or not, the people of the acquired territories, when assembled in convention to form State constitutions, will possess the sole and exclu- sive power to determine for themselves wheth- er slavery shall or shall not exist within their limits. If Congress shall abstain from interfer- ing with the question, the people of these Ter- ritories will be left free to adjust it as they may think proper when they apply for admission as States into the Union. No enactment of Congress could restrain the people of any of the sovereign States of the Union, old or new, north or south, elave-hold- ing or non slave-holding, from determining the The q than practica exist in any po | ernments over these Terri- sed on Congress by the hat they should legislate while their power to | | compromise, and must be regarded as an orig- character of their own domestic institutions as they may deem wise and proper. Any and a!l the States possess this right, and Congress can- not deprive them of it. The people of Georgia might, if they chose, so alter their constitution as to abolish slavery within its limits ; and the people of Vermont might so alter their consti- tution as to admit slavery within its limits.— Both States would possess the right; though, as all know, it is not probable that either would | exert it. It is fortunate for the peace and harmony of the Union tha: this question is in its nature temporary, andcan only continue for the brief period which will intervene before California and New Mexico may be admitted as States into the Union. From the tide of population now flowing into them, it is highly probable that this will soon occur. Considering the several States and the citi- zens of the sevoral States as equals, and enti- tled to equal rights under the constitution, if this were an original question, it might well be in. sisted on that the principle of non-interference is the true doctrine, and that Congress could | not, in the absence of any express grant of pow- er, interfere with their relative rights. Upon a great emergency, however, and un- , der menacing dangers to the Union, the Mis. | souri compromise line in respect to slavery was | adopted. The same line was extended further west in the acquisition of Texas. Afier an ac. quiescence of nearly thirty years in the princi- ple of compromise recognized and established | by these acts, and to avoid the danger to the Union which might follow if it were now disre- garded, I have heretofore expressed the opinion that that line of compromise should be extend- ed on the parallel of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes from the western boundary of ‘Texas, | where it now terminates, to the Pacific ocean. This is the middle ground of compromise, up. | on which the different sections of the Union| may meet, as they have heretofore met. If this be done, it is confidently believed a large majority of the people of every section of the country, however widely their abstract opinions on the subject of slavery may differ, would cheerfully and patriotically acquiesce in it, and peace and harmony would again fill our borders. The restriction north of the line was only yielded to in the case of Missouri and Texas upon a principle of compromise, made necessa. | ry for the sake of preserving the harmony, and | by some of our statesmen, in the earlier periods proprietors and purchasers. To do this, it will be necessary to provide fur an immediate sur- vey and location oithe lots. If Congress should deem it proper to dispose of the mineral lands, they should be sold in small quantities at a fix- ed minimum price. - I recommend that surveyor generals’ offices be authorized to be established in New Mexico and California, and provision made for sucvey- ing and bringing the public lands into the mar- ket at the earliest practicable period. In dis- posing of these lands, I recommend that the right of pre-emption be secured, and liberal grants made to the early emigrants who have settled, or may settle upon them. It will be important to extend our revenue laws over these territories, and especially over California, at an early period. There is alrea- dy aconsiderable commerce with California, and until ports of entry shall be established and collectors appointed, no revenue can be received. If these and other necessary and proper mea. sures be adopted for the development of the wealth and resources of New Mexico and Cal. ifornia, and regular territorial governments be established over them, such will probably be the rapid enlargement of our commerce and | navigation, and such the addition to the national | wealth, that the present generation may live to | witness the controlling commercial and mone- tary power of the world transferred from Lon- don and other European emporiumns to the city of New York. ‘The apprehensions which were entertained of the government, that our system was incapa- ble of operating with sufficient energy and suc- cess over largely extended territorial limits, and that if this were attempted, it would fall to pieces by its own weakness, have been dissi- pated by our experience. In the division of power between the States and federal govern- ment, the latter is fuund to operate with as much energy in the extreme as in the centre. It is as efficient in the remotest of the thirty States which now compose the Union as it was in the thirteen States which formed our constitution. Indeed, it may well be doubted whether, if our present population had been confined with- in the limits of the original thirteen States, the tendencies to centralization and consolidation would not have been such as to have encroach- ed upon the essential reserved rights of the States, and thus to have made the federal gov- possibly the existence of the Union. It was upon these considerations that at the close of your last session, I gave my sanction to the principle of the Missouri compromise line, | by approving and signing the bill to establish | “the Territorial government of Oregon.”— From a sincere desire to preserve the harmony | ofthe Union and in deference for the acts of | my predecessors, I felt constrained to yield my | acquiescience to the extent to which they bad | gone in compromising this delicate and danger- ous question. But if Congress shall now re- verse the decision by which the Missouri coin- promise was effected, and shall propose to ex- tend the restriction over the whole territory, south as well as north of the parallel of thirty- six degrees thirty minutes, it will cease tobe a inal question. If Congress, instead of ubserving the course of non-interference, leaving the adoption of their | own domestic institutions to the people who may | inhabit these ‘lerritories: or if, instead of ex- tending the Missouri compromise line to the Pacific, shall prefer to submit the legal and constitutional questions which may arise to the decision of the judicial tribunals, as was propos- ed in a bill which passed the Senate at your | last session, an adjustment may be effected in | this mode. Ifthe whole subject be referred to | the judiciary, all parts of the Union should | cheerfully acquiesce in the final decision of the tribunal created by the constitution for the set- | tlement of all questions which may arise under | the constitution, treaties, and laws of the Unit- ed States. Conaress is earnestly invoked for the sake of the Union, its harmony, and our continued pros- perity as a nation, to adjust at its present ses- sion this, the only dangerous question which | lies in our path—if not in some one of the | : : ‘ sted, i ( hich may be | ‘rights of all and of all sections of the Union | modes suggested, in some other which may satisfactory. In anticipation of thé establishment of regu. lar governments over the acquired territories, a joint commission of officers of the army and na- vy has been ordered to proceed to the coast of California and Oregon, for the purpose of mak- ing reconnoissances and a report as to the pro- per sites for the erection of fortifications or other defensive works on land, and of suitable situations for naval stations. The information which may be expected from a_ scientific and | skillful examination of the whole face of the coast will be eminently useful to Congress, when they come to consider the propriety of making appropriations for these great national suljects. Proper defences on land will be necessary for the security and protection of our posses- sions ; andthe establishment of navy-yards, and | a dock for the repair and construction of vessels, will be important alike to our navy and com- mercial marine.

So far from entertaining appre- hensions of the safety of our eystem by the ex- tension of our territory, the beliefis confidently entertained that each new State gives strength and an additional guaranty for the preservation of the Union itself. In the pursuance of the provisions of the thir- teenth article of the treaty of peace, friendship, limits, and settlement, withthe republic of Mex- ico, and ofthe act of July the 29th, 1848, claims, of our citizens against the Mexican republic, a- mounting, with the interest thereon, to two mil- lion twenty-three thousand eight hundred and thirty-two dollars aud fifiy-one cents, have been liquidated and paid. There remain to be paid of these claims, seventy-four thousand one hun- dred ninety-two dollars and twenty-six cents. Congress at its last session having made no provision fur executing the fifteenth article of the treaty, by which the United States assume tomake satisfaction for the “unqualified claims” not exceeding three and a quarter millions of dollars,” the subject is again recommended to your favorable consideration. The exchange of ratifications of the treaty with Mexico touk place on the 30th May, 1848.

Congress, at the close of its last session, /made an appropriation fur “the expenses of | running and making the houndary line” between the two countries, but did not fix the amount of salary which should be paid to the commission. | er and surveyor to be appointed on the part of | the United States. It is desirable that the a- mount of compensation which they shall re- ceive should be prescribed by law and not left, | as at present, to executive discretion. Measures were adopted at the earliest prac- ernment of Oregon” as authorized by the act of the fuurteenth of August last. The governor | and marshal of the territory, accompanied by a | ‘small military escort, left the State of Missouri | in September last and took the southern route, hy the way of Santa Fe and river Gila, to Cal- | ifornia, with the intention of proceeding thence ‘in one of our vessels of war to their destination. | The governor was fully advised of the great im- portance of his early arrival in the country, and | it is confidently believed he may reach Oregon in the latter part of the present month, or early ‘inthe next. The other officers for the terri- | tory have proceeded by sea. In the month of May last I communicated in- furmation to Congress that an Iqdian war had broken out in Oregon, and recommended that authority be given to raise an adequate number of volunteers to proceed without delay to the | assistance of our fellow-citizens in that territo- ‘ry. ‘The authority to raise such @ force not having been granted by Congress, as soom as their services could be dispensed with in Mexi- co, orders were issued to the reginent of mount. ed riflemen to proceed to Jefferson Barracks, in Missouri, and to prepare to march to Oregon as | soon as the necessary provision could be made. Shortly before it was ready to march, it was Congress on the last day of the last session, | which directed that all the non-commissioned | officers, musicians, and privates of that regi- ‘ment, who had been in service in Mexico, | should upon their application, be entitled to be ‘discharged.

The imports for the fiscal year ending om tha 30th of June last, were of the value of one bua- dred and fifty-four million nine hundred and sey- enty-seven thousand eight hundred and seventy- six dollars ; of which the amount exported was twenty-one million one hundred and twemtg- eight thousand and ten dollars, leaving ove hua- dred and thirty-three million eight hundred forty-nine thousand eight hundred and sisty dollars in the country for domestic use. = The value of the exports fur the same period was one hundred and fifiy-four million thirty. two thousand one hundred and thirty-ome dob lars, consisting of domestic productions ameuwnt- ing to one hundred and thirty-two million pine hundred and four thousand one hundred and twenty-one dollars, and twenty-one million one hundred and twenty-eight thousand and tep del- lars of foreign articles.

The extert of country in which it is ascertained to exist extends some two hun. | dred miles north and south and some sixty east ‘and west; and these limits are every day en- larging by new discoveries. On the streams, where the gold has been subjected to the ac- tion of water and sand, it exists in fine grains ; on the hills and among the clefis ofthe rocks it | is found in rough, jagged pieces, of a quarter ‘or half an ounce in weight, and sometimes two or three ounces. At present the people are running over the country and picking it out of the earth here and there, just as a thousand hogs let loose in a for- est would root up ground-nuts. Some get eight or ten ounces a day, and the least active one or ‘two. ‘They make the most who employ the There is one profits are a dollar a minute. The wild Io- dians know nothing of its value, and wonder what the pale faces want to do with it; they | will give an ounce of it for the same weight of coined silver, or a thimble full of glass beads, or a glass of grog. And white men themselves often give an ounce of it, which is worth at our mint eighteen dollars or more, for a bottle of brandy, a box of soda powders, or a plug of to- bacco. As to the quantity which the diggers get, take a few facts as evidence.

Side by side you stand, with the Anotirionists of Ohio, Indiana and | Illinois! Arm and arm is South Carolina with | ‘the Hartford Convention Federalists of New. | Repuptaror of Illinois! “Cheek by jole” you | /are marshalled among the Murderers and | | Thieves of Texas! What a mixture! What. political associations! For my part I never in. tend to be associated witha party which expects, needs, or seeks favors of South Carolina! I regard your proposition for a “ Convention | of the Slaveholding States,” together with an in these seven weeks and two days two hun- dred and seventy-five pounds of pure gold. I know the men and have seen the gold, and I know ten other men who worked ten days in company. employed no Indians, and averaged in these ten days fifteen hundred dol- lars each; so stick another pinthere. I know ‘another man who got out of a basin in a rock, not larger than a wash bowl, two pounds anda half of gold in fificen minutes ; so stick another pin there! Not one of these statements would I believe, did I not know the men personally, and know them to be plain matter of fact men —men who open a vein of gold just as coolly as you would a potato hill. The gold is obtained in a variety of ways ; some wash it out of the sand with bowls, some with a machine made like a cradle, only longer and open at the foot, while at the other end, in- stead of a squalling infant, there is grating up- on which the earth is thrown, and then water ; both pass through the grating ; the cradle is rocked, and, being on an inclined plain, the water carries off the earth, and the gold is de- posited in the bottom ofthe cradie. So the two things most prized in this world, gold and in. was never more prosperous than at the present | exnressed determination “to resist at all haz. | fant beauty, are both rocked out of their primi. period, and never more rapidly advancing in wealth and population. Neither the fureign war in which we have been involved, nor the loans which have absorbed so large a portion of our capital, ner the commercial revulsion in | Great Britain in 1847, nor the paralysis of credit and commerce throughout Europe in| 1848, have affected injuriously to any conside- rable extent any of the great interests of the country, of arrested our onward murch to great- ness, wealth and power. Had the disturbances in Europe not cc curred, our commerce would undoubtedly have been | still more extended, and would have added still hore to the national wealth and public prosper. ity, the operations of the revenue system establish. ed by the tariff act of 1846, have been so gen. erally beneficial to the government and the bu. | siness of the country, that nochange in its pro. | visions is demanded by a wise public policy, and none is recommended. The operations of tbe constitutional treasury established by the act of the 6th of August, 1848, in the receipt, custody and disbursement of the en have continued to be successful. Vader this system the public finances have been carried through a foreign war, involving the necessity of loans and extraordinary expendi- tures, aad requiring distant transfers and dis. barsements, wilbout embarrasament, and no loss | has occurred of any of the public money depos. ited ander ite provisions. Whilst it has proved to he safe and useful to | the government, its effects have been most hen. vficial upon the business ofthe country. It has tended powerfully to secure an exemption from that inflation and fluctuation of the paper cur. | reney, so injurious to domestic industry, and | rendering so uncertain the rewards of labor, aad it is believed has largely contributed to oseeerve the whole country from a serious com. mereial revulsion, such as ofien occurred under the bank deposite sysiem. Ja the year 1847 there was a revulsion in’ the business of Great Britain, of great extent and intensity, which was followed by failures ia that hingdom unprecedented in number and amount of losses. ‘This is believed to be the figet imetance when such disastrous bankrupt. cies, occurting in a coyutry with which we | have such extensive comnjerce, produced little of po ipjurious effect pon our trade or curren. | Fay.

The largest scythe manufactory in the world is in the State of Maine afew miles from Hal. lowell. It belongs to Reuben Dunn, Esq., a very enterprising gentleman. ment consists, besides warehouses, furnishing ufacturing, two of which are one hundred and forty-four feet each in length. Inthese, and in departments connected with the establishment, are employed about one hundred men, many of whom have families settled at the place. A flourishing village has grown up within a few years, and is rapidly increasing. Twelve thousand dozen scythes are annually manufactured, to produce which are required 450,000 Ibs. of iron, 75,600 Ibs. of steel, 1200 tons of hard coal, 10,000 bushels of charcoal, 100 tons of grindsstones, and a half a ton of vborax. ‘The last article is used in the process of welding. * ‘The proprietor has been at great pains to man- | ufacture a superior article, and no scythe is per- | mitted to go into the market till it has passed : the ordeal of two experienced and careful work- men, besides the examination of the general superintendent, whose inspection extends to every part of the establishment. This care has given these scythes a celebrity which se. cures a ready sale for all that can be furnished.

STEELE’S RESOLUTIONS. e 3 pus, Ar judging fromthe s upon Mr Stanly’s motion, on-Thursday last, to postpone i tely, that they are to be duétive of some feeling, and perhaps ficulty, we can hesitate no longer. As if the elements were not sufficient- disturbed by the questions at issue be- ly islature, to wit: the election of Pa lic Of- ficers, the decision of contested elections, and the manifold questions of State poli- cy which legitimately pertain to our Gen- eral Assembly, we were surprised that Mr. Steele, without consaltation with his friends or any body, shoald suddcnly thrust upon the Legislature this string of South arolina abstractions, concerning the rights and duties of the General Govern- ment in the management of the Territo- ries of the United States. The dogmas contained in these Resolations are of lit- tle practical importance ; for whether we are allowed or denied the right of convey- ing Slaves into these Territories, can ne- ver affect the Southern Slave owner ; for would think of taking a slave to Califor- nia or New Mexico, for purposes of profit, though he might be ever so free to do so. Political mountebanks at the North, as well as those of the South, well know that such is the fact. There is no use, there- fore; in either quarter, to make declara- tions about rights. Wise and consider- ate people will not let such matters dis- turb the peace of the country. But espe- cially the people of North Caralina did not send the members of this Legislature here, to dictate to Congress or the Presi- dent of the United States. They do not wish to squander the public money for any such tom-foolery. They are willing trusted to Congress, to be taken care of by that body, and they demand of this Legislature to go on and do what they were sent here to execute. However undeniable we might deem the positions contained in these Resolu- tions, we protest against the phraseology in which these positions are set forth. There appears to us a manifest endeavor on the part of the concocter of these Res- olutions, (said to be Mr. Calhoun,) ro- claim (in rather a covert form, it is true) the once dangerous but now only absurd doctrine of Nullification. Why talk of the Territories being the property of “ the States,” and “ the several States,” and the injury done to “the States,” and the equal- ity of the States in common with this sub- ject. The wrong complained of, is not an injury to South Carolina, or to any oth- er particular State. upon their sovereignty, nor in any way interferes with their political existence, /as States. But it is a wrong done to the | citizens of the United States owning Slaves, (as a Nation, whether they reside in a /of Columbia or in one of the Territories. _me We hope, therefore, if the public time. gorges, and over the steep hills, picking the must be spent in settling the affairs of the | gold from the clefis of the rocks with their | Nation, instead of those of the constituen- | ‘cy of the Assembly, that this portion of \them will be couched in language less | tional in its character.—Ral.

This, it _is to be hoped, settles this question ; and | on the 29th day of this month, if the Res- olution adopted be carried out, a Whig will unquestionably be chosen to repre- sent the State of North Carolina in the Senate of the United States for six years from the 4th of March next. It will be observed that the Speaker of the Senate, though elected to that office by concession on the part of the Whigs, clings with a rabid tenacity to party, on all occasions when the casting vote is called in requisition. This, we dare say was not expected by the Whigs from Mr. Graves, when he was elevated to the Spea- ker ship by thet? votes. He had hitherto been regarged by them as a firm, decided Democrat ; but he was looked upon as possessing liberal and magnanimous views, ‘and, therefore, to be trusted. But the se- qual has proved to the contrary ; and on a similar occasion again, the Whigs should be less disinterested in their selection. | Ral.

Monocrats.—Mr. Jefferson styled those who contended for the veto power in the early days of the Republic, Moaocrats. ‘This ttle indicates a love ofthe one man power. Wedo not know it the Cass and Butler party intend to continue the imposture, by calling themselves Democrats, but it is very certain, that after contending for this monarchical feature of government, and the illustrations of despotism furnished by Polk and sustained hy them, Monocrats is the most befit- ‘ing name for them.— Wil.

She hushed | their cries—soothed their sorrows—covered them with | returned“ her sorrowful vigil. \ | The night wore away—and still sat the mother over | | the fading fire she could not replenish, waiting the com- | | ing of him, whose returning footstep once carried a thrill | of joy through her bosom, and was hailed with boister- ous glee by her little ones. Once he promised at the | altar to love and cherish her, and nobly, awhile did he Of upwards of 1000 cases of | , redeem the pledge. His cottage was the home of com- fort, and his wife and infants divided hislove! Butah! how changed! He had becomea Drunkard!

Stillness—solemin stillness, like the graves, reigns in that dreary habitation: and no sound is heard, save when the fitful sighing of the wintry blast, or the low murmur of her dreaming infants, rouses the wretched mother from her trance. Then she raises her aching eyes to the dim dial, and witha glance to Heaven, turns to her lonely watch again. : her feelings has grown too fierce to be repressed ’—her bosom heaves with the wild emotions of her soul—and her thin hands seem endeavoring to force back the cur- “rent of her tears! The clock struck the hour of mid- night—he came as wont! With a fearful oath he curs- ed his wife’s fond Jove: and that mother’s silent tears, and the low wail of his frightened babes, went up to God ' as witness.

Yet twilight lingers still, And beautiful as dreams of heaven, It slambers on the hill ; Earth sleeps, with all her glorious things, Beneath the Holy Spirit's wings ; And, rendering back the hues above, Seems resting in a trance of love. The blue isles of the golden sex, * Phe night arch foating hich, The flowers that gaze upon the heavens, The bright streams leaping by, Are living with religion—c ep On earth and sea its glories sicep, And mingle with the stattight rays, Like the soft light of parted days. The spirit of the holy eye Comes through the silent air, To feelings bidden spring, and wakes A gush of music there : And the far depths of ether beam So passing fair, we almost dreain That we can rise and wander throuyh Their open paths of trackless blue. Each soul is filled with glorious dreams, Eacis pulse is beating wild, And thought is soaring to the shrine Of glory undefiled ! And holy respirations start Like blessed angels from the heart, And bide—for earth's dark ties are riven — Our spirit to the gates of heaven ! SONG OF STEAM. Harness me down with your iron bands, Be sure of your curb and rein, For I scorn the strength of your puny hands, As the tempest scorns a chain ; How I laughed as I lay concealed from sight For many a countless hour, At the childish boast of homan might, And the pride of human power! When I saw an army upon the land, A navy upon the seas, Creeping along, a snail-like band, Or waiting a wayward breeze ; When I marked the peasant faintly reel With the toil which he faintly bore As he turned at the tardy wheel, Or tugged at the weary oar: When I measured the paniing courser’s speed The flight of the carrier dove, As they bore a law, the king's decree, Or the lines of impatient love ; I could not but think how the world would feel As these were outstripped afar, When I should be bound to the rushing keel, Or chained to the flying car! Ha! ha! ha! They found me at last ; They invited me forth at length ; And I rushed to my throne with a thunder blast And laughed in my iron strength ! Oh! then ye saw a wondrous change On the earth and the ocean wide, Where now my fiery armies range, Nor wait for wind or tide. Harrah! hurrah! the winter's o'er The mountain steep decline ; Time—space have yielded to my power — The world—the world is nine ! The giant streams of the queenly West, And the orient floods divine. The ocean pales where’er I sweep To hear my strength rejoice, And the monsters of the briny deep Cower trembling at my voice. I carry the wealth and the lord of earth ; The thoughts of the god-like mind ; ‘The wind lags after going forth, The lightning is left behind. In the darksome depths of the fathomless mine My tireless arm doth play, Where the rocks ne'er saw the sun decline Or the dawn of the glorious day. I bring earth’s glittering jewels up From the hidden caves below, And I make the fountain granite cup With a crystal gush o’erflow ! I blow the beilows, I forge the steel, In all the shops of trade ; I hammer the ore, and turn the wheel, Where my arms of strength are made. I manage the furnace, the mill, the mint— I carry, I spin, I weave ; And all my doings I pat in print, On every Saturday eve. I've no muscle to weary, no breast to decay, No bones to be “ laid on the shelf,” And soon I intend you may “go and play,” While I manage the world inyself. But harness me down with your iron bands, Be sure of your curb and rein ; For I scorn the strength of your puny hands, As the tempest scorns a chain! SR MILLET. \ Science, for September, contains an arti- cle by Professor Emmons, on the cultiva- | tion of Millet. The larger millet is much | cultivated in some parts of Europe. Ger. many for example, where it is seen in the markets, prepared by separation from the husk, in the form of beautiful grains, per- feetly round, of a golden color. Jt is used in soups, and, boiled by itself with water, it forms an excellent and very wholesome kind of hominy. Professor Emmons has subjected millet to an analysis in order to determine the portion of nutritive matter it contains. He finds that “compared with wheat or Indian corn, except in oil, it exceeds both in its power of sustaining life.” The grain is “ rich in the elements -which produce bone and muscle, and its straw is not deficient in the elements com- mon to the cultivated grasses.” He thinks it might be cultivated in this country with profit as fuod for animals, as it yields from sixty five to seventy bushels to the acre. ee THE ZOOPHYTE.

My Dear Sir :— The peculiar condition in which we find ourselves now placed indaces us to make an earnest appeal to all oar friends and to a berfevolent public generally for as- sistance. Our last annual report closed with the following paragraph :—“ $42,500 is the lowest possible estimate of the means in- dispensible to meet our present engage- ments.—To prosecute vigorously and with advantage our operations during the year, upon which we now enter, and not incur a heavy debt, will therefore require at least $50,000.” The first of the above estimates was based upon the fact that we were then $9,500 in debt, and had engaged to send 310 emigrants to Liberia ; the last, upon the probability that many others would want to go and ought to be sent. Since that time we have actually sent 413 emigrants to Liberia, and have re- ceived application to send from Baltimore 95 more, and from New Orleans 472 more. If we had the means to despatch the 567 now waiting for a passage, it would make the number sent within the year 1,010. It therefore appears, that the estimate which we made at the beginning of the year was much too low. Allowing $50 to pay for the transportation and support six months in Liberia of each emigrant, it would require 50.000 for this single item. The estimate of $50,000 therefore does not | cover simply the transportation and sup- port of emigrants; leaving out of view entirely, the other expenses of the society in this country and in Liberia. Let us now look a moment at our re- ceipts thas far.—Ten months of the year are now passed ; the total amount of our recepts is $30,601 98. This is much be- low the proper proportion of the estima- ted $50,000. Unless, therefore, our re- ceipts are greatly increased during the remaining two months, we shall at the close of the year fall short of that estimate, which itself falls immensely short of our real demands. The relutive condition of our treasury now, is better than it was at the beginning of the year. That is to say, we then esti- mated that $42,500 would pay the liabil- ities of the Society, that time due, and the expenses of 310 emigrants. We have paid those debts, sent out 443 emigrants ; and our liabilities are now $9,512 32, which is only a fraction above what they were at the beginning of the year while our reccipts are $11,898 02 below the es- timated $42,500. This we think is sufficient to show that the affairs of the Society have, during the year, thus far been carried on with great energy and withgreateconomy. Our friends who have contributed to our funds, may therefore feel assured that their gifts have not been wasted and squandered in vain experiments. We now come to the burden of this ap- peal.— From various sources we had been as- sured that money would be raised suffi- cient to transport all the emigrants who should desire to go to Liberia. On this basis we encouraged the spirit of emigra- tion, and requested all who were anxious on the subject to apply tous. The conse- quence is, that after we have sent this year 443, there are now 567 waiting for a passage. We are under pledges to fur-- nish them one. They are all anxious to be off, many of them umpatient. needed in Liberia. They ought not to be detained in this country. But we have not the means to send them. Unless therefore our friends come imme- diately to our help, what can we do? The present debts of the Society must be met. | Allow $50 to pay the expenses of each of the 567 emigrants, and it makes $28,350. When shall this amount be obtained ? Of these persons, 151 are free ; of whom 8 reside in Connecticut, 6 in New York, 1 in this City, 9 in Virginia, 18 in South Corolina, 27 in Indiana, 39 in Alabama, : 33 in Tennessee, 2 in Ohio, and 9 in Illi- nois. ITow easy it would be for a few indi- viduals in each of those States, to assume the responsibility of sending the emigrants | from their own State ! The remaining 415 are slaves, the free- | dom of most of whom depends upon their { emigration to Liberia ! Here is a field for the exercise of benev- olence and philanthropy upon the largest i scale ! Great and important as this work is, we cannot go forward in it without means. We therefore present this statement of erally, praying them to come at once, and in their greatest liberality, to our assis- tance. Whatever funds are contributed, or can be raised, should be sent to us immediate- ly, in order to secure the desired result. In behalf of the Society, W. McLANE, Secretary. DANGER OF REVERIE.

We published an illustrated description in our last volame of Mr. Harvey Law’s Stave Dressing and Stave Jointing Ma- chines. The descriptions that we then published were merely the mechanical construction and arrangement of the ma- chines. Since that period, Mr. Law has received a patent for his improvements, and he has brought on his machines from Wilmington, N. C., and set them in ope- ration in Mr. Burdon’s Foundary, No 100 Front st. Brooklyn. We visited the es- tablishment last week and had occcular demonstration of their performance, and we cannot but speak highly of their mer- its. For working sawed staves we have seen in operation the stave dressing ma- chine of Mr. Smith of Lockport, and three years ago we saw the one belonging to Mr. Randal in Albany, and we have like- wise seen the ingenious machine of Jud- son & Pardee, of New Haven, Conn. for split staves; but Mr. Law’s is entirely dif- | ferent in its construction and operation | from these, and it does its work hand- | somely, finishing about 8 or 9 staves per 'minute. The stave dresser and jointer are placed at the end of one another—as 'the staves leave the dresser they pass down an inclined board to the person who | tends the dresser and from the commence- | | ment to the finishing of the stave the work ‘is continuous, In the dresser, the stave is put in un- der the jaws of a pressure lever, and a | follower catches it (the stave) behind and pushes it through to the revolving cutters, which cut on the face and back of the stave, above and below. The cutters re- volve like those in Woodsworth’s plant- ing machine, but there are two set upon two axis—the one revolving above and the other below the stave. The top set are convex planes and the under set con- cave knives, which form the reverse sur- faces on the staves. The follower which ushes the rough stave under the pressure [reais to go between the knives, is car- ried forward by a rack and pinion and is made to operate with self-reversing geer- ing for the forward and backward mo- tions. The preSsure levers can be set to accommodate staves of any required thick- ness, but the beauty of the dressing lies in planing the staves so as to suit all the most warped inequalities of the split kind. , The motion of the cutters is good and the machines are not liable to get out of re- | pair. The jointer finishes staves of all ‘degrees of width, so that it makes no mat- |ter whether a five inch stave is first put | through the dresser and then a four inch ‘one afterwards, or not. The jointer takes ‘them all as they come and joints the one ‘after the other without stopping a mo- ment. This is a very beautiful arrange- ment. and the modus operandi consists in 'having the finishing saw on a sliding frame, to be moved by a long lever to cut the last joint of the stave of any width desired. The followers that earry for- ward the staves to be jointed are dog 'hooks with bottom flanges fixed upon a | straight travelling endless chain, but the | dogs straddle on side rails and are guided | by switches to carry the stave from one | side to the other, from the stationary to |the moveable saw to be sawed on both ‘sides. Therefore no change of gearing is | required to joint the staves of various ' widths.—The operator can go to the yard and take whatever staves come to hand. There are some improvements made on _the machines since we published the en- _graving, and we may at some other time -exhibit them by engravings—at present | we speak merely of the operation as seen | with our eyes, and those who are ac- quainted with stave dressing machines will get a good idea of both its construc- | tion and operation likewise. We hear of | great complaints from Canad about bad ‘times If our Canadian friends want to ‘go into a good paying business here is a machine that can whisk out their staves for London beer barrels, at no small rate, and a vessel will carry about twice the quantity of dressed that it can of undress- -ed staves. We hope this advice will not be lest. The chips will raise steam for an engine and the expense is only in the ~machinery.—Scientific American. 3.000 BALE fair market price. J. G. CAIRNS, Agent.

Occurring, as this puld have done, at a period when the untry was engaged ina foreign war; hen considerable loans of specic were quired for distant disbursements, and hen the banks, the fiscal agents of the vernment, and the depositories of its oney, were suspended, the public credit ust bave suok, and many millions of Jlars, as Was the case during the war 1812, must have been sacrificed in dis- unts upon Joans, and upon the deprecia- ed paper currency Which the govern- ant would have been compelled to use. Under the operations of the constitution- treasury, not a dollar has been lost by pe depreciation of the currency. The ans required to prosecute the war with exico were negotiated by the Secreta- of the Treasury above par, realizing a rge premium to the governinent. The straining effect of the system upon the ndencies to excessive paper issues by inks has saved the government from avy losses, and thousands of our busi- ssmen from bankruptcy and ruin. The isdom of the system has been tested, by p experience of the last two years; and isthe dictite of sound policy that it ould remain undisturbed. The modifi- tions in some of the details of this mea- re, involving none of its essential prin- ples, heretotore recommend :d, are again esented for your favorable consideration. In my message of the sixth of July last, ansmitting to Congress the ratified trea- of peace with Mexico, | recommended e adoption of measures tor the speedy ment of the public deb. In reitera- ng that recommendation, | refer you to e considerations presented in that mes- ein its support. The public debt, in- uding that authorized to be negotiated, pursuance of existing laws, and inclu- ng 'reasury notes, amounted at. that me to sixty-five million seven handred nd seventy-eight thousand four hundred nd Afty dollars and forty-one cents. Funded stock of the Uuited States, a- ounting to about half a million of dol- rs.bas been purchased as authorized y law, since that period, and the public ‘ht has thus been reduced; the details which will be presented in the annu- report of the Secretary of Treasury. The estimates of expenditures for the ‘xt fiscal year, submitted by the Secre- ry of the teeasury, it is believed will be mple fer all necessary purposes. If the ppropriations made by Congress shall Mt exceed the amount estimated, the- vans in the treasury will be sufficient to tfray allthe expenses of the government; y pny off the next instalment of three illion of dollars to Mexico, which will sli dae on the thirtieth of May next; and ila eonsiderable surplus will remain, | hich should be applied to the further Orchase of the public stock and reduc: | on of the debt. Should enlarged appro- lations be made, the necessary conse- nce will be to postpone the payment the debt. Though our debt, as cornpa- With that of most other nations, ts all, it is our true policy. and in harmo- with the genius of our institut: t we should present to the world the te spectable of a great republic, posses- ng vast resources and wealth, wholly mpt from public indebtedness. This uld add still more to our strength, and ve tous a still more commanding posi- among the nations of the earth. The public expenditures should be eco- omical, and be confined to such necessa- y objects as are clearly within the pow- tsof Congress. All such as are not ab- olutely demanded should be postponed, ind the payment of the public debt at the arliest practicable period should be a ardiaat principle of our public policy. For the reason assigned in my last an- wal message. | repeat the recommenda lon that a branch of the mint of the U- ited States be established at the city of w York. The importance of this mea- ure is greatly increased by the acquisi- ton of the rich mines of the precious metal a New Mexico and California, and espe- Maliy im the latter. ' Erepeat the recommendation, heretofore made, in favor of the graduation and eduction of the price of such of the public ands as have been long otiered in the market, and have remained unsold, and © favor of extending the rights of pre- Mption to ac'ual seitiers on the unsur- byed lands.

Ow- ing to the remoteness of some of these positions, the detachments have not yet reached their destination. Notwithstand- ing the extension of the limits of our coun. , try and the forces required in the new territories, it is confidently believed that. our present military establishment is suilicient for all exigencies, so long as our. pea-+ ful relations remain undisturbed. Of the amount of military contributions collected in Mexico, the sum of seven hundred and sixty nine thousand six hun- dred and fifty dollars was applied towards the payment of the first instalment due under ihe treaty with Mexico. The fur- ther sum of three hundred and sixty nine dollars and thirty cents has been paid into the treasury, and unexpended_ balances still remain in the hands of disbursing oflicers and those who were engaged in the collection of these moneys. After the proclamation of peace, no further dis— bursements were made of any unexpended moneys arising from this source. The balances on hand were directed to be paid | into the treasury, and individual claims on the fund will remain unadjusted until Congress shall authorize their settlement and payment. These claims are not con— siderable in number or amount. | I recommend te your favorable consid— eration the suggestions of the Secretary | of Wer and the Secretary of the Navy in| regard to legislation on this subject. Our Indian relations are presented in a most favorable view in the report from | the War Department. The wisdom of our policy in regard to the tribes within | our limits, is clearly manifested by their improved and rapidly improving condi- tion. A most important treaty with the Me- nomonies has been recently negotiated by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs in person, by which all their land in the State of Wisconsin—being about four millions of acres—has been ceded to the United States. This treaty will be submitted to the Senate for ratification at an early period of your present session. Within the last four years, eight impor— tant treaties have been negociated with different Indian tribes, and at a cost of one million eight hundred and forty two thou- sand dollars: Indian lands to the amount of more than eighteen million five hundred thousend acres, have been ceded to the United States; and provision has been made for settling in the country west of the Mississippi the tribes which occupied | this large extent of the public domain. The title to all the Indian lands within the several States of our Union, with the exception of a few small reservations, is now extinguished, anda vast region opened for settlement and cultivation. The accompanying report of the Secre- tary of the Navy gives a satisfactory exhibit of the operations and condition of that branch of the public service. A nuinber of small vessels suitable for entering the mouths of rivers were judi- ciously purchased during the war, and gave great efliciency to the squadron in the Galt of Mexico. On the return of peace, when no longer valuable for naval pur- poses, and liable to constant deterioration, they were sold, and the money placed in j the treasury. Tie oember of men in the naval ser- vice authorized by law during the war. has been reduced by discharges below the maximum fixed for the peace estab- lishment. Adequate squadrons are main- tained in the several quarters of the globe where experience has shown their servi: evs nay be most usefully employed ; and the naval service was never in a condi- tion of higher discipline or greater efficien- cy. invite attention to the recommendation of the Secretary of the Navy on the sub- ject of the marine corps. The reduction of the corps at the end of the war required that four otlicers of each of the three low- er grades should be dropped from the rolls. A board of officers made the selection ; and those designated were necessarily disinissed, but without any alleged fault. I concur in opinion with the Secretary, that the service would be improved by re- ducing the number of landsmen, and in- creasing the marines. Such a measure would justify an increase of the number of officers to the extent of the reduction by dismissal, and still the corps would have fewer officers than a corresponding num- ber of men in the army. The contracts for the transportation of the mail in steamships convertible into War steamers, promise to realize all the benefits to our commerce and to the navy which were anticipated. The first stea- mer thus secured tothe government was launched in January, 18418. There are now seven; and in another year there will, propably, be not less than seventeen afloat. While this great national advan- tage is secured, our social and commercial intercourse is increased and promoted with Germany, Great Britain, and other parts of Europe, with all the countries on the West Coast of our continent, especial- ly with Oregon and Colifornia, and be— tween the northern and southern sections of the United States. Considerable rev- the connected Hine Som New York to Chagres, and thence across the isthmus | to Oregon, cannot fail to exert a beneficial influence, not now to be estimated, on the interests of the manufactures, commerce, “navigation, and currency of the United | AS an important part of the sys-_ States. tem, I recommended to your favorable consideration the establishment of the | proposed line of steamers between New. Orleans and Vera Cruz. It promises the most happy resultsin cementing friend- /ship between the two republics, and in extending reciprocal benefits to the trade -and manufactures of both. The report of the Postmaster General | will make known to you the operations of that department for the past year. It is gratifying to find the revenues of the department under the rates of postage now established by law, so rapidly in- creasing. The gross amount of postages during the last fiscal year amounted to four million three hundred and seventy- one thousand and seventy-seven dollars, exceeding the annnal average received for the nine years immediately preceding the passage of the act of the third of. March, i815, by the sum of six thousand ‘four hundred and fifty-three dollars, and exceeding the amount received for the year ending the thirtieth of June, 1847, by the sum of four hundred and twenty five thousand one hundred and eightyfour dollars. The expenditures for the year, exclud- | ing the sum of ninety four thousand six hundred and seventy two dollars, allowed by Congress at its last session to individ- ual claimants, and including the sum of one hundred thousand five hundred dol- lars and paid for the services of the line of steamers between Bremen and New York, amounted to four million one hun- dred and ninety eight thousand eight hun- dred and forty five dollars, which is less than the annual average for the nine years previous to the act of 1845, by three hundred thousand seven hundred and for- ty eight dollars. ‘The mail routes, on the thirtieth day of June last, were one hundred and sixty three thousand two hundred and eight miles in extent—being an increase during the last year of nine thousand three hun- dred and ninety miles. The mails were transported over them, during the same time, forty one million twelve thousand five hundred and seventy nine miles ;— making an increase of transportution for the year of two million one hundred and twenty four thousand six hundred and eighty miles, whilst the expense was less than that of the .revious year by four thousand two hundred and thirty five dol- lars. The increase of the mail transportation within the Inst three venrs has been five millioi three bandred and seventy eight thousand three hundred and ten miles, whilst the expenses were reduced four hundred and (ftv six U ousand seven hun- dred and thirty c:ght dollar---making an increase of service at the rate of fifteen per cent., and a reduction in the expenses of more than fifteen per cent. During the past year there have been employed, under contracts with the Post Oilice Department, two ocean steamers in conveying the mails monthly between New York and Bremen, and one, since October last, performing semi-monthly service between Charleston and Havana; and a contract has been made for the transportation of the Pacific mails across the isthmus from Chagres to Panama. Under the authority given to the Secre- tary of the Navy, three ocean steamers have been constructed and sent to the Pacific, and are expected to enter upon the mail service between Panama and Oregon, and the intermediate ports, on the first of January next, and a fourth has been engaged by him for the service be- tween Havana and Chagres; so that a regular monthly mail line will be kept up after that time between the United States and our territories on the Pacific. Notwithstanding this great increase in the mail service, should the revenue con- tinue to increase the present year as it did in the last, there will be received near four hundred and fifty thousand dollars more than the expenditures. These considerations have satisfied the Postmaster General that, with certain modifications of the act of 1845, the rev- enue may be still further increased, and a reduction of postage made to the uni- form rate of five cents, without an inter- ference with the principle, which has been constantly and properly enforced, of ma- king that department sustain itself. A well digested cheap postage system is the best means of diffusing intelligence among the people, and is of so much im- portance in a country so extensive as that of the United States, that I recommend to your favorable consideration the sugges- tions of the Postmaster General for its improvement. Nothing can retard the onward progress of our country, and prevent us from as- suming and maintaining the first rank umong nations, but a disregard of the ex- perienc of the past, and recurrence toan unwise public policy. We have just clos- ed a foreign war by an honorable peace —n war rendered necessary and unavoid- able in vindication of the national rights and honor. The present condition of the country is similar in some respects to that | ' of the war with Great Britainin 1815, and the occasion is deemed to be a proper one which existed immediately after the close , lic opinion, and to act in concert in cases of chiefly to ot | The corrupt power of such a po. | emergency. litical engine is no longer a matter of epecula- ‘to take a retrospect of the measures of ‘0M having been displayed in numerous instan- | public policy which followed that war. | There was at that period of our history a departure from our earlier policy. enlargement of the powers of the federal |g /vernment by construction, which obtain- (ea, as not warranted by any just inter- pretation of the constitution. A few years after the close of that war, a series of /measures was adopted which, united and /combined, constituted what was termed by their authors and advocates the ‘* Ames | tican system.” The introduction of the new policy was for a time favored by the condition of the country ; by the heavy debt which had | been contracted during the war; by the depression of the public credit; by the deranged siate of the finances and the cur- reney; and by the commercial and pe- _cuniary embarrassment which extensive- ‘ly prevailed. These were not the only causes Which led to its establishment.— The events of the war with Great Brit- ain, and the embarrassments which” had attended its prosecution, had left on the -minds of many of our statesmen the im- pression that our government was not | strong enough, and that to wield its re- sources successfully in great emergencies, and especially in war, more power should be concentrated in its hands. This in- creased power they did not seek to obtain by the legitimate and prescribed mode— an amendment of the constitution— but by construction. They saw governments in the old world based upon different or- ders of society, and so constituted as to throw the whole power of nations into the _hands of a few, who taxed and controlled the many without responsibility or re- straint. In that arrangement they con- ceived the strength of nationsin war con- sisted. nating in the case, luxury, and display of the higher orders, who drew their wealth from the toil of the laboring millions.— The authors ofthe system drew their ideas of political economy from what they had The | There was also something fasci- | ces, but most signally in the political struggles , | of 1832-'3-"4, in opposition to the public will represented by a fearless and patriotic Presi- dent. | Butthe bank was but one branch of the new _ system. <A public debt of inore than one hun- dred and twenty millions of dollars existed ; and it is not to be disguised that many of the authors of the new system did not regard its speedy payment as essential to the public pros. perily, but looked upon its continuance as no national evil. Whilst the debt existed, it fur. nished alimeut to the national bank, and render. ed increased taxation necessary to the amount of the interest, exceeding seven millions uf dul- lars annually. This operated in harmony with the next branch of the new system, which was a high protective tariff. to favored classes and particular pursuits, at the expense of all others. A proposition to tax the whole people for the purpose ofenriching a few, was too monstrous to be openly made.— ‘The scheme was, therefore, veiled under the pausible but delusive pretext of a measure to protect “home industry ;” and many of our people were, for a time, led to believe that a) tax which in the main fell upon labor, was for the benefit of the laborer who paid it. tween the government and the favored classes —the former receiving the proceeds of the tax | imposed on articles imported, and the latter the increased price of similar articles produced at _ home, caused by such tax. It is obvious that | the portion to be received by the favored classes | would, as a general rule, be increased in pro- | portion to the increase of the rates of tax im. posed, and diminished as those rates were re- | duced to the revenue standard required by the -wants of the government. ‘The rates required to produce a sufficient revenue for the ordinary -expenditures of government, fur necessary pur- poses, were not likely to give to the private partners in this scheme profits sufficient to sat. | isfy their cupidity ; and hence a variety of ex. | pedients and pretexts were resorted to for the | purpose of enlarging the expendiiures, and i thereby creating a necessity for keeping up a high protective tariff. ‘The effect of this poli- _cy was to interpose artificial restrictions upon the natural course of the business and trade of This was to affurd bounties | This | | branch of the system involved a partnership be. | i Tene nee because Abisi would pr nual j | ed drain upen.thotreasurg, to smnuten of tee interest, aud. render augwented tases necessa- ty. ‘The operation and necessary effect of the | whale sysiem were, to encourage large and.ex- _travagant expenditures, and therely to igepenss the public patronage, and maintain-a rice and ' , splendid goternment.at the expense-of a taxed and impoverished peoplr, a, | Itis manifest that this scheme of taxation and expenditures, bad it ee Prevail, must soon have converted the govern. ment of the Union, intended by itsframers to SS uiein, cheap, and simple confederation of Slates, united together fur common protection, and charged with a few speciGe duties, relating ir foreign affairs, into a consolidated empire, depriving the States of their reserved i rights, and the people of their just power and contro! in the adininistration of their gotern- ment. In this manner the whole form aad character of the government would be changed not by an amendment of the constituiiva, bat hy resorting to an unwarrantable and unauthor. ized construction of that instrument. . The indirect mode of levying the (aces by a | duty on imports, prevents the mass of the peo- ple from readily perceiving the amount \bey pay, aad bas enabled the few, whoare thus en. riched, and who seek to wield the political pow. er of the country, to deceive and delude them. Were the taxes collected by a direct levy upon | the people, as is the case in the S:ates, this could not occur. The whole system was resisted from its im. | ception by some of our ablest statesmen, some of whom doubted its constitutionality and its ex. pediency, while others believed it was, in all its branches, a flagrant and dangerous infrac. tion of the constitation. That a national bank, a protective tariff, lev. ied not to raise the revenue needed, but for protection merely, internal improvements, aod the distribution of the proceeds of the gale of the public lands, are meastires without the war. rant of the constitution, would, upon the matur. est consideration, seem to be clear. It is re- markable that no one of these measures, involv. ing such momentous consequences, is authoriz- ed by any express grant of power in the consti. tution. No one of them is * incident to, as be. ing necessary and proper for the execution of, the specific powers” granted by the constitution. ~The authority under which it has been attempt. ed to justify each of them is derived from infer. ences and constructions ofthe constitution which ‘ils letter and its whole object and desiga do not warrant. Is it to be conceived that such immense powers would have been left by the framers of the constitution to mere inferences and doubtful constructiuns 7 TYad it been ine tended to confer them on the federal govern- ; ment, itis but reasonable to conclude that it would have Leen done hy plain and uneguiro. ,cal grants. This was not done ; but the whole , structure of which the “American system” con. sisted, was reared on no other or better foun- dation than forced implications and inferences of power which its authors assumed might be deduced by construction from the constitution. But it has been urged that the national hank, which constituted so essential a branch of this witnessed in Europe, and particularly in the country, and to advance the interests of ' combined system of measures, was not a new Great Britain. They had viewed the enor- large capitalists and monopolists, at the expense | measure, and that ifs constitutionality had been mous wealth concentrated in few hands, of the great mass of the people, who were tax- and had seen the splendor of the over-, ¢d to increase their wealth. grown establishments of an aristocracy which was upheld by the restrictive poli- cy. They forgot to look down upon the poorer classes of the Euglish population, upon whose daily and yearly labor the great establishments they somuch admir- ed were sustained and supported. They failed to perceive that the scantily fed and half clad operatives were not only in abject poverty, but were bound in chains , of oppressive servitude for the benefit of favored classes, Who were the exclusive objects of the care of the government. Another branch ofthis system was a compre- hensive scheme of internal improvements, capa- ble of indefinite enlargement, and sufficient to swallow up as many millions annually as could be exacted from the fureign commerce of the country. ‘This was a convenient and necessa. ry adjunct of the protective tariff. It was to be the great absorbent of any surplus which might atany time accumulate in the treasury, and of the taxes levied on the people, not for necessa- | Ty revenue purposes, but for the avowed oljyect of affording protection to the favored glasses. Auxiliary to the same end, if it was not an essential part ofthe system itself, wasthe scheme | existed in Congress. previously sanctioned, because a bank had been chartered in 1791, and had received the official signature of President Washington. A.. few facts will show the just weight to which this prececent should be entitled as bearing upon the question of constitutionality. Great division of opinion upon the subject It is well known that President Washington entertained serious doubts both as to the constitutionality and expediency of the measure; and while the bill was before hit for his official approval or disapproval, so great were these doubts, thathe required “the opinion in writing” of the members of his cab. inet to aid him in arriving ata decision. His cabinet gave their opinion, and were divided , sible “e tp sociee Which, ata later period, obtained, for distribut- ar . , : ; ; ssible i It was not possible to reconstruct socies hich, ata pP ’ " } upon the sulject—General Hamilton being in ty in the United States upon the Eurcpe- | 3 the proceeds of the sales of the public lands | favor of, and Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Randolph an plan. Here there was a written con- stitution, by which orders and titles were not recognised or tolerated. A system of measures was therefore devised, calcula- ted. if not intended, to withdraw power gradually and silently from the States and the mass of the people, and by construc- tion to approximate our government to the European models, substituting an aris- tocracy of wealth for that of orders and titles. Without reflecting upon the dissimilar- ity of our institutions, and of the condi- tion of our people and those of Europe, they conceived the vain idea of building up in the United States a system similar tothat which they admired abroad. Great Britain had a national bank of large capes ital, in whose hands was concentrated the controlling monetary and financial power of the nation ; an institution wielding al- most kingly power, and exerting vast in- ‘fiuence upon all the operations of trade, and upon the policy of the government it- self. Great Britain had an enorous pub- lic debt, and it had become a part of her public policy to regard this as a * public blessing.” Great Britain had also a re- strictive policy. which placed fetters and burdens on trade, and trammelled the pro- ductive industry of the mass of the na- tion. By her combined system of policy, the landlords and other property holders were protected and enriched by the enor- mous taxes which were levied upon the labor of the country for their advantage. Imitating this fureign policy, the first step in establishing the new system in the United States was the creation of anational bank. Not fore- seeing the dangerous power and countless evils which such an institution might entail on the | country, nor perceiving the connexion which it ‘was designed to fourm between the bank and the other branches ofthe miscalled “American system,” but feeling the embarrassments of the treasury, and of the business of the country, consequent upon the war, some of our states: ‘men who bad held different and sounder views were induced to yield their scruples, and, in- deed, settled convictions of its unconstitutional. ity, and fo give it their sanction, as an expe- dient which they vainly hoped might produce relief. It was a most unfortunate error, asthe subsequent history and fina! catastrophe of that dangerous and corrupt institution have abun. dantly proved. The bank, with its numerous branches ramified into the States, soon brought many of the active political and comine cial men in different sections of the country into the relation of debtors to it, and dependants upon tt fur pecuniary favors ; thus diffusing throughout the mass of society a great number of individ. uals of power and influence tv give tone lo pub. among the States. Other expedienis were de. vised to take money out of the treasury, and pre- vent its coming in trom any other source than the protective tariff ‘The authors and support- ers of the system were the advocates of the largest expenditures, whether for necessary or useful purposes or not, because the !irger the expenditures the greater was the pretext for high taxes in the form of protective duties. These several measures were sustained by popular names and plausible arguments, by which thousands were deluded. ‘The bank was represented to be an indispensable fiscal agent forthe government; was to equalize exchanges, and to regulate and furnish a sound currency, always and everywhere of uniform value. The protective tariff was to give employmentto ‘A- merican labor” at advanced prices; was lo pro- tect “home industry,” and furnish a steady market for the farmer. Internal improvements were to bring trade into every neighborhood and enhance the value ofevery man’s property. The distribution of the land money was to en- rich the States, finish their public works, plant schools throughout their borders, and relieve them from taxation. But the fact, that for ev- ery dollar taken out of the treasury fur these objects a much larger sum was transferred from the pockets of the people to the favored classes, was carefully concealed, as was also the ten- dency if not the ultimate design ofthe system to Luild up an aristocracy of wealth, to control the masses of society, and monopolize the political power of the country. The several branches of this system were so intimately blended together, that tn their oper. ation cach sustained and strengthened the others. Their joint operation was, to add new burdens of taxation and to encourage a largely increas- ‘ed and wasteful expenditure of public money. It was the interest of the bank thatthe revenue collected and the disbursements made by the | government should be large, because, being the ‘depository of the public money, the larger the “amount, the greater would be the bank profits iby its use. It was the interest of the favored classes, who were enriched by the protective tariff, to have the rates of that protection as high as possible; for the higher those rates, the ‘greater would be their advantage. I was the interest of the people of all those sections and localities who expected to be beneiited by ex. penditures for internal improvements, that the amount collected should be as large as possible, to the end that the sum disbursed might also be the larger. ‘The States being the bene fici iries in the distribution ofthe land money, had an in- terest in having the rales of tax imposed hy the protective tariff large enough to yield a sufficient revenue from that source to meet the wants © the government, without disturbing or taking from them the land fund; so that each of the bravches constituling the system bad a common interest in swelling the public expenditures.— ‘They had a direct interest in maintaining i public debt unpaid, and increasing tls amouut, ¢ son's own bandwriting was Cal heing opposed to the constitutionality and expe- diency of the bank. It is well known, also, that President Washington retained the bill from Monday, the fourteenth, when it was pre- sented to him, until Friday, the twenty-fifth of Pebruary—being the last moment permitted him by the constitution to deliberate, when he finally yielded to it his reluctant assent, and gave it his signature. [1 is certain that as late asthe twenty-third of February—beiog the nioth day after the Lill was presented to him—he had arrived at no. satisfactory cone!uston; for on that day he addressed a note to General Ham. iiton, in which he informs him that “thie bill was presented to me by the joint committee of Congress at 12 o'clock on Monday, the fours teenth instant ;” and he requested his opinion “to what precise period, by legal interpretation of the constitution, can the President retain it in his possession, before it becomes a law hy the Iapse often days.” Ifthe proper construc. tion was, that the day on which the bill was presented tothe Presideut,and the day on which his action was had upon it, were both to be counted inclusive, then the time allowed him, within which it would be competent for bim to return itto the House in which it originated with bis objections, would expire on Thursday, the twenty-fourth of February. Geu. Hamil. ton onthe same day returned an anewer, im which he states: “| give it as my opinion that you have ten days exclusive of that on which the bill was delivered to you, and Sundays ; hence, in the present case, if it is returned on Friday. it will be in time.” Be this constrnc. tion, which the President adopted, he gained another day for deliberation, and it was not un. til the twenty-fifth of February that he signed the bill; thas affording conclusive proofthat he had at Inst oltuined his own consent to sipatt not \ithout great and almost insuperabie diffi- culty. Additional light has been recently shed upon the serious doubts which h2 had oa the subject. amounting al one time to a conviction that it was his duty to withhold bis approval from the bill. This is found among the manu. script papers of Mr. Madison, authorized to he purchased for the use of the government hy an act of the last session of Congress, and now for the first tine accessible to the pubtic. From these papers, it appears that President Wash. ington, while he yet held the hank Dill im his hands, actually requested Mr. Madison, at that time a member of the House of Representa- lives, to prepare the drangbt of a velo message for him.

Of this the country became abun. dantly satisfied, and at the close of its twenty years’ duration, as in the ease of the first bank, it also ceased tu exist. Under the repeated flows uf President Jackson, it reeled and fell, and a subsequent attempt to charter a similar institution was arrested by the veto of Presi. dent Tyler. Mr. Mudison, in yielding his charter of 1816, did so upon th yespect due to his precedents ; and, as he sub. sequently declared, “the Bank of the United nestion, beld to ignature tothe | 53 , t e ground of the y States, though, on the original q be unconstitutional, received the Executive sig- nature.” . It is probable that neither the bank cf1791, nor that of IS16, would have been chartered but for the embarrassments of the government in its finances, the derangement of the currency and ihe pecuniary pressure which existed,—the first the consequence of the war of the revolution, and the second the consequence of the war of 1812, Both were resorted to in the delusive hope that they would restore public credit, and affurd relief to the government, and to the bust- ness of the country. ‘Those of our public men who opposed the whole “ American system” at its commence. ment, and through its progress, foresaw and predicted that it, was fraught with incalculable mischiefs, and must reeult in serious injury to the bestinterestsof the country, For aseries of years their wise counsels were unheeded, and the system was established. It was soon ap- parent that its practical operation was unequal and unjust upon different portions of the country, and upon the people engaged in different’ pur- suits. All were equally entiled to the favor and protection of the government. Tt fostered and elevated the money power, and enriched the favored few by taxing labor, and atthe ex. pense of the many. Its effect was to & make the rich richer, and the poor poorer.” — Its ten. dency was to create distinctions in society bas- ed on wealth, and to give tothe fivored classes undue control aud sway in our government.— It was an organized money power, which re- sisted the popular will, and sought to shape and control the public policy. Under the pernicious workings of this com. bined system uf ineasures, the Country witness. ed alternate seasons of temporary apparent prosperity ; of sudden and disastrous commer. cial revulsions 5 of unprecedented fluctuation of prices, and depression of the great interests of ngricultare, navigation, and commerce ; of gen- | eral pecuniary suffering, and of final bankrupt. cy of thousands. Alter a severe struggle of more than a quarter of a century, the system Was overthrown, Vhe bank has been succeeded by a practical system of finance, conducted and controlled sulely by the government. The constitutional currency has been restored; the public credit maintained unimpaired, even ina period oftor- eign war; and the whole country has been sat. isfied that banks, national or State, are not ne. ressary as fiscal avents of the government.— Revenue duties have taken the place of the pro- tective tariff, “Phe distribution of the money derived from the sale of the public lands has heen abandoned, and the corrupling system of internal improvements, it is hoped, has been ef. fectually checked. It is not doubted, that ifthis whole train of measures designed to take wealth from the ma- ny, and bestow it upon the few, were to prevail the effect would be to change the entire char- acter of the government.

It was not perhaps, that they hated Cling- man less, but Badger more. If Mr. Cling- man had been the nominee, then Mr. Badger would doubtless have come in for a share of their affectionate solicitude.— The hollow insincerity of Locofocoism could not be rendered more palpable than their course in this election makes it.

We have never arraigned Mr. Clingman on any such charge, and do not allude to it now with any view of reproaching him. We have given our approbation to the general tenor of his conduct as a Repre- sentative of the People, but we refer to what is notorious, that the name of Mr. Clingman has been used by the Locofoco party, as a bug-bear, in this State, in con- sequence of his not participating in all | the fanatical excitements gotten up by politicians of the South Carolina school ; but more particularly for his vote against | retaining the twenty-first Parliamentary rule of the House of Representatives.— Since the Democracy boasts of being pro- | gressive, we presume that this vote for Mr. Clingman is to be regarded as a step Northwardly—they are abandoning the themselves upon that of common sense and the Constitution.” NEW ELECTION--TO THE POLLS!

Soi Q, my words were harsh to ihee, Mary, For the wine-cup drove me wild, And I chid thee when thine eyes were sad, And cors’d thee when they smiled,— Gol knaws I Jav'd thee even then, "But the fire was in my brain, And the curse of drink was in my heart ‘To make my !ove a bane.

But he knows not of the broken heart I bear within my breast, Or the heavy load of vain remorse Thar will not let me rest ; He knows not of the sleepless nights, When dreaming of iby love, I seem to see thine angel eyes Look coldly from above.

A writer in the last Wilmington Ga- zette, relates the following, as coming un- der his immediate notice: A few months ago, while walking along the wharves. we were accosted by a rag: ged little boy apparently about twelve years of age, The little fellow seemed to be nearly starved. He no doubt was. Mister, please, sir, give me five cents ; ]amso hungry; I have not had any thing tg eat today! Man’s heart is sometimes proof against the piteous pleadings of astarving fellow. So did mine prove to be. We told the hoy togoaway. and was rudely repulsed. Seeing this, we determined to learn the boy’s situation nnd to aid him in some way. We took him along, and the following is the sub.) og espying the great balloon over bead, she | bolted as ifthe veritable ‘old Nick” himself Sfance of his story : My papa is a good workman; but he gets drunk so often that his employer dis- , charged himsome timeago.

About the same period, a Dutch farmer from the interior of New York State, Dutch as sour krout, took it into hia head topay a visit to some of his equally Dutch frents, in the afuresaid Lancaster County. Nick Mor- gan was the old farmer’s name—simple and | bunest he was as the day is long—with not ten consecutive ideas beyond the daily rontine o his farm; a railroad and locomotive he had never seen, and as to the matter of balloons, they were altogether such contrivances a3 he had never dreamed nor heard of.

Jogging along quietly and unsuspecting, not | far from his journey’s end, the old farmer and ‘the old mare were crawling up the slope of a little hill, when a voice bawled out— “Hurry on, old man!
