ie the House, on Thursday, toe vllh uiet., the
Hon. AH Stephxss used tie- folio wing extroor
dinary language in relation to his vote for the Kan
sat Bill. VVe quote from the C<n>grr,r,onnlOUbe
“ I wish to say a few words in reply to the gee
tiemau from Indiana, [Mr Cumbaek-i That gen
tleman stated to the House that the ob|cet in pass
ing the Kansas and Nebraska bill was lo make
Kansas a slave Stale. Now, Mr. Chairman, as a
Southern man. as a aatimial man. aud as a friend
of tlie Kansas l,ilj. 1 say, aud I believe I speak the
sentiments of those who voted for it, tliat it was not
theobjeet oi the Kansas bill to make Kansas a
slave State, ora siav s territory. It was simply to
leave the question of slavery without congrcssiouol
restriction, to tie settled by the pie of the lem
tory for Uiemselves.”
What will the people of Georgia, who heard so
much last year from Mr Stkfhf.'oi about Kansas
becoming a slave State, and all through kit aid and
support, tiiink of this declaration, that “»/ wo* mA
the objeet of /*, k«’»< Bill to make Kan*a* a
,lare Slate or r.la. <■ J'emtory ' Is tliis declara
tion to be regarded as an admission of the Squatter
Sovereignty feature of that bill? Is it an admission
tliat the bouthern men who voted for that bill
knew of the existence of tliat feature i as stated
by General Cass) when they voted for it: ar.d
knew, also, that under the operation of the squatter
sovereignty and alien suffrage features Kansas
could never become a slave Territory or State '
Are these the inferences to be drawn from this ex
traordinary declaration of Mrt Stffhfv ? If so,
it is right and proper that the people sloe ill know
it, and knowing it. should visit their indignation
upon those who have thus trifled with them and
upon their rights.
iloualna The Missouri < onipromise.
The Illinois paper- are indulging in political rem
iniscences. Among the most spicy, is the following
extract from a speech delivered by Ktecher A.
Dor',!. as, at Springfield, in I’G-a upon tlie Missouri
Compromise. Then he thought its repeal would be
a “ruthless” and “reckless deed :
■ The Missouri Compromise ha
oeen in practical operation for about a quarter of a
century, and received the SANCTION aud Al*-
I'UOBATION of men of all parties, in every sec
tion of the Union, It had allayed all sectional jeal
ounite, anil irritations growing out of the vexed
question, and harmonised and tranquilized the
WHOLE COUNTRY, IT HAD AN ORIGIN
AKIN TO THE < ONSTITUTION, conceived iu
the same spirit of affection, and calculated to re
move FOREVER, tlie ONLY DANGER which
seems to threaten to sever THE UN ION All the
evidences of public opinion seemed to indicate t oil
this COMPROMISE HAD BEEN CANONIZED
IN THE HEARTS OK THE AMERICAN PEO
PLE AS A SACRED THING. W HICH NO
RUTHLESS HAND WOULD EVER BE RECK
LESS ENOUGH TO DISTURB.
This extract, we think, will prove particularly in
teresting to the present |ndmirers of Doli.las in
Georgia ; some of whom, four years ago, pronounced
*»; a bar room or prog-thop /nUlirian a<ut demo
gogae. Like BrcHAXAN, it proves him always op
posed to the extension of slavery—first in favor of
the Missouri restriction, (tlie W'ilmot Proviso prin
ciple,) and now the zealous advocate of Squatter
Sovereignty. Verily, such principles ought to com
mend him to Southern men, and especially to the
favor of the Southern Democracy, who set up quite
an exclusive claim to the defence of the South and
her institutions. Mr. Calhoun denounced Squat
ter Sovereignty as a most odiousdoctrine.—infinite
ly worse than the Wihnot Proviso. The whole
Southern Democracy also denounced Squatter So
vereignty, and yet Southern Democrats sought to
nominate Stephen A. Douglas for the Presidency,
and are now supporting Jas. Buchanan, both of
whom are advocates of the doctrine. What must
intelligent and reflecting men think of a party that
thus openly forfeits uli claim to consistency ? Can
they come to any other conclusion than that they
“are held together by the cohesive properties of
the public plunder ?”
Letter from Col. Fouche.
The assertion in various Democratic organs, that
Col. Simpson Fouche, of Floyd county, was for
Buchanan, has called forth an able and manly let
ter from that gentleman, which will be found in our
columns to-day. We hope it will be extensively
read, especially by old line Democrats, with whom
Col. Fouche so long acted. It is full of home
truths, which “ he who runs may read and under
stand. " Col. Fouche adhered to the Democracy
until he found that they sacrificed principles for
spoils; when,like a true patriot, he out loose from
the party.

From the Rome Courier—Extra.
Tulip Gkovk, July 17th, 185 G.
Sir : Your letter of the 12th instant, informing
me of my nomination by the American party of
Georgia us their candidate for the Vice Presidency
of the United States, has been received, and with it,
the declaration of principles adopted on the same
occasion.
For this mark of respect and honor, l beg leave
to present my grateful acknowledgments. In
accepting this nomination, 1 am but adhering to
the obligation assumed, when 1 yielded to the
wishes of the National American party which placed
inr previously in nomination tor the same office.
The principles avowed by the two conventions are
substantially the same. They are the principles
taught to us by the Fathers of the Revolution, and
if faithfully maintained, will make our Constitu
tion and Union invulnerable to the assaults of all
foes, whether coming to us from a foreign land
or springing up in our midst as factionists and trai
tors.
The people of Georgia have doubtless some re
collection of the support which I gave to the Com
promise measures ot 1850 as a final settlement of
the slavery question. A strong effort, both in the
North and the South, was made to compel Congress
to retrace its steps, and the cry was that acquies
cence in those measures was an infamous surren
der of state-rights. In that crisis I believed that
the old doctrines of Democracy might be relied
upon to arrest the dangers resulting from the irri
tations which marked the discussions of the day,
imt the influence which controlled President Pierce
satisfied me that this party had lost its vitality as a
national one, and that no course was left tor the
disciples of Washington, Jefferson and Jackson but
to seek in a new organization the aid of the people
in reviving the maxims of the pure days of the Re
public, and lopping off the exeresceuees which had
been fastened upon our system by factions and see
tioual controversy
Before the election ot President 1 ieree. prom
inent men in the South, as well as the North, blamed
me for insisting that the Democratic party was the
safest organization for securing the reforms necessa
ry to tranquiliae the public mind, yet the same men
now traduce and calumniate me for not acting with
them when they arc notoriously in alliance with
these who oppose these reforms. They desired me
as an old Jackson Democrat to quit the party when
there was n hope of its being wrought back to its
original doctrines, but when the proof became con
elusive that the power of this parly had passed into
the hands of the freesoilerand nullifier, they assail me
with the bitter epithets.
When 1 endeavored to show that the Democratic
party was more sound than the Whigs on the sec
tioual issues, there was reason to hope that the dis
ciples of the Nashville Southern Convention and
the Buffalo platform would not gain possession of the
Federal Government. Nowit will scarcely be de
nied by any candid mail that the politicians who
have given a dangerous direction to the heresies of
these two schools are not only acting with the Mod
ern Democracy, but are really shaping its policy
and dispensing its patronage.
Then, too, it was constant reproach to me, as be
ing unfaithful to the cause of State-rights and the
cause of the South, that 1 did not denounce in terms
of unmeasured abuse such men as Mr. \ an Buren
ami Mr. Benton. Now the fact stores us m the
face that this modern Democracy has made a uouii
nation for the Presidency which calls forth a voice
of applause and approbation of Mr. Van Buren and
Mr. Benton as loud as was ever heard in favor oi
Jefferson and Jackson, and this too when it was but
yesterday that we were threatened by this De
mocracy* with a dissolution of the Union on ac
count ot' the dangers to whichj we were said to be
exposed by tin doctrine- of the Buffalo platform.
It belougs to the people to say what ought to lu*
the judgment on such inconsistency, ami whether
we should stiff place power in the hands of tuose
who have made the Democratic party a compound
of tlu* /«*»:s which have arrayed one section of the
Union against another. As members of the Ameri
can party, and. as good citizens, we eau only do our
dutv. refusing to concur iu measures that are tatal
to the public peace and contributing by all the legal
means in our power to the restoration of those old
fashioned doctrines which made us so long a happy
and prosperous people. Under the influence ot such
doctrines, we shall hear no more of squatter sove
reignty or mob tribunals, but may hope to see Con
gress performing again its constitutional fluty as
tin guardian of the 1 ights of the South as well as
the North in the settlement of our public lands, and
in the admission of the inhabitants of the Territo
ries to the sovereign rights of States, wither without
slavery, as they may determine for themselves.
when forming a State Constitution.
But it is not, perhaps, proper for me to enter into a
discussion of the causes which have constituted us,
without reference to our antecedents as Whigs «*r
Democrats, a new party. I refer to them only In con
neetiou with the patriotic declaration of principles
made by the Convention at Macon, in order that you
uiav see how complete is my concurrence with them,
and how great is my appreciation of the honor you
have conferred upon me by an association of my
name with that of Mr. Fillmore iu the noble effort to
check the excesses of party spirit, and effect a re
formation as important as that of 1798 and 1800.
I once did great injustice to this eminent patriot
and statesman, by holding him responsible for what
I considered &u attempt to merge the Whig party
of the North into a sectional opposition to the rights
of the South; but when 1 saw ium rise superior to
suck local prejudices, and prefer the interests of
the whole country to that of the section in which
he happened to lk* bom, I made all the amende iu
my power to offer, and declared publicly long be
fore I knew of the exiateuee of the American party,
that he ought to be called again by the united
voice of the people to the chair of the Chief Magis
tracy.
1 am very respectfully.
Your obedient servaut.
A. J. Donelson.

Railroad Safety.—'The main trunk of tie
South Carolina Railroad, the Charleston Mercury
savs. 135 miles in leugth. has been in operation for
twenty-three years, and in all that time not a single
passenger has' lost his life. On the Columbia branch,
which has been in operation for half that time, two
passengers lost their lives, but they were not at the
time in the passenger cars. On the Caunien branch
no passenger ha* ever been killed. It is possible,
therefore, even in the United State*, to save inno
cent traveller* from wholesale murder, without de
pi tying Railroads of good dividends. But this is
only an instance ol the voluntary caution and sys

The Georgia Railroad and it* branches. 200 miles
long, has been equally successful. It has beeu in
operation, over the whole or a part, for near twenty

“It will be observed that this purports to be a
complete letter, as there is nothing in the accompa
nying comments, or in the mode of printing it, to in
dicate that any part of it has been omitted. The
manner in which it is given to the public is equiva
lent to the assertion tliat it is all the writer said
upon that occasion. And yet, would the reader be
lieve it ? full on£-half of the letter is suppressed, and
the name ofthe writer is appended to a part only as
though it was a icbtle document.
“Here is tlie concluding portion, which it neither
suited the purpose of Democratic prints to give, nor
to state that it was left out :
I would, however, take this occasion to say that,
in thus frankly giving my opinion, I would not de
sire to hare it umh'rstood in the nature oj a pledgr.
At the same time tliat I seek no disguises, but freely
give my sentiments on any subject of interest to
those for whose suffrages lam a‘ eand’date. I am
opposed to giving any pledges that shall deprive no
hereafter of all discretionary poirer. My own char
acter must be the guarantee for the general correct
ness of my legislative deportment. On every im
portant subject, l am hound to deliberate before 1
! act, and especially as a legislator, to possess myself
of all the information, and listen to every argument
that ran be adduced by my associates , before 1 girt
a Jinal rot*. If I stand pledged to a particular
course of action I cease to be a responsible agent,
but. I become a mere machine. Should subsequent
events show beyond all doubt, that the course l had
become pledged to pursue was ruinous to my con
stitueuts and disgraceful to myself, I have no alter
native, no opportunity for repentance, and there is
no power to absolve me from my obligation.
Hence the impropriety, not to say absurdity, in my
view, of giving a pledge.
I am aware that you have not asked any pledge,
and I believe I know your sound judgment and
good sense too well to think you desire any such
thing. It was, however, to prevent any misrepre
sentation on the part of others, that I have felt it my
duty to say thus much on this subject.
This puts a very different face upon the matter
“This letter was written m arly seventeen years
ago, in the early part of Mr. Fillmorf/s public life,
and when, of course, he had much less experience
in national affairs than he has since acquired. And,
yet, notwithstanding that fact, and the additional
one that he was in the midst of a canvass to be deci
ded by the votes of Northern men alone, aud when
there was every temptation to conciliate the free
soil vote by making concessions. Mr. Fillmore
distinctly refused to pledge himself to go into Con
gress, and aid iu carrying out the anti-slavery mea
sure indicated. Though agreeing theoretically with
his correspondent about tlie power of Congress in
the premises, lie yet held that he must be left free to
act upon every measure that came up, ns his con
victions of duty, at the time, and the best interests
of the country might seem to demand. Though dif
fering from .Southern men upon the question respec
ting the power ofthe General Government in rela
tion to slavery, he yet left himself in a position to
‘deliberate’ before he acted upon any measure ef
fecting our rights—to hear ‘all the. information’ and
‘listen to every argument that could be adduced,’
before giving a vote that involved those interests.
Whilst,'then, Southern men very properly dissent
from the constitutional views of the letter, they are
bound to admit that the sentiment and determina
tion subsequently expressed iu it, are those of a true
patriot. They must further admit, too, that the lat
ter portion of the letter takes away, in the main, the
effect of the objectionable opinions expressed, since
the writer distinctly declares that he will not be
bound in his action by them ; in a word, that lie
would not unconditialiy subject tlie rights and inte
rests of others to his peculiar views.
“This was in 1838. Now, mark how manfully
Mr. Fillmore adhered to his determination in after
“The Supreme Court of the United Stat es decided
that Congress had no power to prohibit the slave
trade between the States. When this decision was
put forth, Mr. Fillmore investigated the point, re
viewed his own opinion upon it, and gave the sanc
tion of his judgment to the correctness of the conclu
sion ; and this fact was subsequently made known
to the country through a published letter.
“Whilst in Congress, in a speech upon the ‘right
of petition,’ he took the ground respecting petitions,
that ‘if right and reasonable the prayer should be
granted ; but if wrong or unreasonable , it should be
denied.' 11 e further stated that he ‘regarded slavery
as an evil, but one with which the National Go
vernment had nothing to do. That by the Consti
tution of the United States, the whole power over
that subject was vested in the several States where
the institution was tolerated.” These views were
again reiterated by him, over his signature, when a
candidate for the Vice Presidency in 1848.
“ In 1850 he was President of the United States,
a position in which he did not act solely for the
State of New-York, but for the whole Union. As
such he signed bills embodying the great principle
that Territories, when erected into States, should
come into the Union with or without slavery, ns
they chose, and providing for the recovery of slaves
when they have escaped into other States. What
Mu. lakh Fillmore did in 1850, he can be relied
on to do again. His past political course shows
that he is not the man to ‘take a step backward,’ ”
and he has recently pledged himself in his letter of
acceptance, and his Albany ami Rochester speeches,
that the principles which governed his former ad
ministration shall guide and direct his future course.
Such a pledge from such a source, is all that any
Southern patriot desires. He Imsthoroughly investi
gated the questions growing out of the slavery issue,
the agitation of which demagogues and “ moral trai
tors,North and South, have sprung upon the
country for base purposes, and he now pledges him
self to the American people to stand by the Com
promise of 1850 and cany out its healing and health
glowing political principles, in order to give repose
to the country. Yes, such is the pledge Millard
Fii.i, more now gives, and no candid, truth loving
man in all this broad republic will question or doubt
the sincerity of that pledge —none such will hesitate
to redeem that pledge to the letter.
“This garbled letter was extensively circulated by
the Democratic press in 1848. There was then,
however, a little more show of fairness, for a row of
stars i # ) was inserted just before the signature
the printer’s mode of indicating that a portion is
omitted. The garbled Erie letter did not prevent
Mr. Fillmore’s triumphant election in 1818, and
Americans need not fear it in 1856. The people of
the United States now have now evidence of Mr.
Fillmore’s nationality and patriotism, which they did
not possess when he was formerly before them.”
There is one fact in connection with this garbled
Erie letter of Mr. Fillmore’s, as well as the garbled
documents in reference to Buchanan, as printed
and read by the Buchanan organs and speakers,
which we wish to impress upon the public mind—it
is fhis : If the Democratic organs and speakers de
sire to enlighten the public mind, so as to enable
the people to arrive at truth, why do they suppress
altogether or in -part , important documents ? Why
do they suppress such an importaut portion of Mr.
Fillmore’s Erie letter, and why do they suppress, j
entirely, ail that portion of Buchanan’s Sanford tet
ter, which proves him a Wilmot Provisoist in prin
ciple i Is not this fact alone sufficient to satisfy the
people—all intelligent and reflecting men—that the
organs and speakers of the Democratic party, adopt
this disgraceful course in order to deceive and mis
lead the people. Let the people reflect.

Mr. Editor— -DearSir Please tell us what “an
Electoral voter” is ? Who and what is an Elector }
Why will not our own individual votes elect
Mr. Fillmore without others being delegated to
do so. to vote for us ? ‘Mr. so and so will
■ not gel the electoral vote of such or such a
j Stale ’ ’ Please define this for us iu your next . and
! say why it is that an elector is at all necessary ?
why he need ever have been born, inasmuch as we
are the sovereigns ’—the people ! ! S. E. M.
Remarks by the Editor.—The press upon our
columns to-day compels us to respond very' briefly.
An "Elector" is the person elected by the people of
a State to vote for President and Vice President.
Hence be is "an electoral cater. "
The people cannot vote for President and Vice
President directly : because the Constitution of the
United States requires the vote of each State to be
cast by Electors. See Art. 2, Const, t. S.
What is meant by getting the electoral vote of a
State, is when any one candidate gets the unani
mous vote of the electors of a State. There have
been instances in which the electors have not oeeu
unanimous. This was the ease in New York in
1825, when Jackson received 1 vote, Adams 26,
Crawford 5, and Clay 4. The same thing has
occurred in other States
The Hon Wm. C. Rives delivered a stirring
speech at Charlottesville a few days since. In
every sentence, the patriot, statesman and orator
shine out in full splendor. He shows the evils which
afflict oar country, and their origin, and then points
with unerring truth to the way by which, alone,
those evils can be averted and the tranquility of the
country restored and this remedy is the elevation
of Fillmore and Donelson to the Presidency and
Vice Presidency of the United States
The Louisville {Kentucky i Owner says the wife
of a well known drayman in Covington, died one
day last week. The next day the bereaved man
married a new wife and took her with him to the
dead wife’s funeral.

Me. Editor Thursday last was a proud day for
Newton—the missionary ground' - of last year. It
was a Uppy day—one fort-shadowing a more glo
rious and far brighter still, for Fillmore and the
country, to be ushered in by rejoicing millions in
November neat. It was a sad day for “Bogus De
mocracy’-—for Buchanan and rotten platforms—
platforms erected by office-seekers of every political
hue, and pregnant with squatter sovereignty, Fili
buster-ism and rain. O, it would awaken pity in
the coldest hearts, to see the rueful faces—long us
the shadows of setting hope—of the feeble few Bu
ebanaaites who. that day, retired from the field,
under a tattered banner, and with not a plank of
their boasted Cincinnati platform left upon which to
stand to fight a future battle.
The announcement, that Col. Hill, the Elector for
the State at large, and Judge Baiter, for the 7th
District, would address the citizens of Newton upon
the great principles of the American party, had. in
a very few days, spread to the utmost limits of the
county. Responsive to the call, hundreds of the
patriotic and the good of ail parties, as well as
■ floaters.” assembled at Covington, to hear these
distinguished gentlemen. A one went empty away.
Some full of high hope, rejoicing in the justice of
their cause and Ihe certainty of final victory : others
weighed down with mortification and gloom at the
dismal prospects before them, of total defeat— with
to,, of office.
The meeting was organized by calling to the chair
Col. Carv Wood, a staunch old Whig, whose delight
has ever been to fight under the banner unfurled to
the breeze by the immortal Clay—the man who was
ever the object of the vile vituperation and hate of
Democracy, till his sun had set amid the splendor of
a fame which time and calumny can never obliterate
or darken; and one who, though not now, and
never identified with Know Nothingism in any of
the phases of its history, yet, now standing aloof
and far above the party prejudices of the hour, und
calmly surveying the whole field, prefers Millard
Fillmore, planted upon the Constitution and the
platform of LL past “Washington-like Administra
tion,-' before all the world !
Judge Baxter was '.hen introduced as the Fillmore
Electoral candidate for the 7th District, who for the
space of nearly two hours, held enchained the as
sembled multitude, by an argument close, high
toned and powerful—an argument just suited to the
crisis, and such an one as has been rarely equaled,
and, perhaps, never surpassed in the annals of
stump speaking in Georgia or any where else. In
u clear aud convincing manner, he advocated the
true position of his party upon the Foreign and
Catholic questions, refuted and drove hack to its
dark source of emanation the foul slander of pro
scription, which has fettered and crippled the ener
gies of the American party from the hour that gave
it being. And we imagine that few who heard him,
however blinded by partizan feeling, will, except
for purposes most wanton, resurrect these buried
ghosts, the offspring of corruption. It might not be
uuiuteresting to give some of his views in eetemo,
but lime will not permit, neither would you suffer
the trespass upou your columns.
Col. Hill next took tlie stand. It was a proud
sight to see him. He stood erect— "every inch a
■man" —calm, self-possessed, conscious of the right,
and burning to do battle in the cause of truth and
country, forgetful of, or scorning the futile objec
tions urged against the principles he advocated;
he charged right into the heart of the opposition—
the Cincinnati I‘latform— that great mystery in
which poor James Buchanan lost his identity here
commenced a work of dissection, which political
doctors of every school might have witnessed with
profit. It was a melancholy spectacle, especially
so no doubt, to our Democratic friends, to see with
what coolness he carved away with the scalpel of
truth upon the sujeet before him. Plunk after
plank, knotty , u-orm-eateu and rotten , was torn
loose from its frail fastenings and held up to public
view, that its defects might be seen of all in the
glitter of day. Rib after rib was taken from the
sides of this Trojan horse, upon which Democracy
expected to ride into power, until barely enough
were left to hold the tottering skeleton together.—
And then what a sight! far within the recess, late so
artfully concealed, squatted James Buchanan—his
identity gone — mum as the grave, no interrogato
ries to answer, with all his old federal sins and
youthful indiscretions hanging dardly about him,
and Ihc Democracy of the South and the Van Bu
rensof the North “hale fellows well met,'' whisper
ing promises of success in his willing ears. The
people saw the deformity of the idol at whose shrine
they were expected to bow,'and turned willingly,
with the gifted speaker, to the contemplations of
one of the sublimest pages in American history—
that which records the brilliant admistration and the
late patriotic speeches of the immortal Fillmore.
But it is useless to attempt a full description of Col.
Hill’s speech; its calm but withering sarcasm, its
powerful convincing eftects—those alone who heard
il, friend or foe, can appreciate and feel its force. —
He concluded his speech amid the enthusiastic
plaudits of the multitude.
When done, Col. Harper, of Covington, newly
inaugurated as a champion of Democracy, arose,
and in behalf of his party asked permission to re
ply, which request was granted, limiting him to two
hours’ time. It is due to Mr. Harper to say that he
is a gentleman of talent and ability, nnd is regarded
by his political opponents as among the first of his
party iu the District. But what can a man, howev
er gifted, do to bolster up a bail and sinking cause 1
Like Sampson, shorne ot his strength, his efforts are
powerless as those of infancy. For, with all the
Constitutionalist tierras, &c., which hail been in
dustriously circulated during the day, with all his
pathos, his eloquent appeuls in behalf of Buchanan
as to his idolatry of the Southern features of the
Kansas and Nebraska bill, together with his strong
denunciations of Mr. Fillmore on account of his
conjectured opposition to these measures, nnd his
melting pictures of the bones gs slaughtered for
eigners blcuohiug upon the battle plains of Mexico —
with all these auxiliaries he failed, utterly failed to
get up a ronsement . No wonder For t wo hours
he floated “vaslo gurgile" clouds above, and storms
rocking the frail bark iu which he had shipped his
political destiny. Whither could he steer 1 The
platform, the port, into which he had expected tri
umphantly to enter, had been torn to fragments.—
Where was his captain? Buried beneath the rub
bish of its ruins. And although he may have lost
none of his reputation as an orator and man of ge
nius, yet when “Ben Hill, our nature bird," got
through with him, even his political friends, some
of them, acknowledged their champion badly
whipped ; those who didn’t, looked it.
But as those remarks are too extended, we here
drop ’.he veil.
In conclusion, permit me to repeat that theso ear
ly victories upon the stump but foretoken one more
glorious upon a wider theatre—one over whose is
sue the destiny of this government hangs fearfully
poised. The people see it—they feel it. The great
heart of the American people is turning fast and
hopefully to the patriot of the times. They saw
him breasting with brave heart—his eagle eye fixed
singly upon his country’s good—the dark storms
which lowered about him in the very dawn of his
past administration. They saw him, calm and firm
ly collected amid these fearful scenes, lay his hand
upon the waves of popular turbulence, nnd restore
tranquility to a distracted nation. They saw all
these things. And later still, they have seen him
retunring from a pilgrimage beyond the waters,
from the despotisms of the old world. They have
seen him come, not as a partisan or office-seeker,
but as one proud of the title of an American citizen,
and standing upon the soil of his birth, the very the
atre of his youthful fame, hurl thunders of patriotic
indignation in the very teeth of the traitorous band
who are struggling to sunder the last ligament which
binds us in a glorious Union. Seeing all this, tliiuk
you the people will not trust him again ? The re
sponse comes from every quarter —they will. The
people lore Mr. Fillmore. And the Btrong current
of popular favor, which, not only in this county, but
all abroad the country, is turning towards him, indi
cates a determination on the part of the people to
rise in their majesty, independent of all party ties
and affiliations, and place the Constitution and the
country in the hands of a patriot, who, rising supe
rior to the prejudices of early education, dared to
do his duly. J i

(>S 1 1' I oi'ne County for Buchanan —In a Horn !
Mr. Editor :—lt may be a trial of your credulity
| to believe me, when I say 1 hat the Buckites in this
county a week or so since, were so hoisted up at the
idea that a few, a very few , old line Whigs here
and there iu the county had declared for their can
didate, that they had figured up results. And what
do you think—they gave t illmore one hundred and
fifty , and took all the balance for themselves of the
eight hit ndred! Decided ly a liberal calculation ;
don't you think so ? Their elector for the District
declined to enter the race ! This was a hard lick
upon them—their faces el o ngated a little—but that
bitter pill—that squatter Sovereignty dose they are
getting on all sides has been a Paixhau gun among
them. Their under lips are hanging down now,
and secret caucuses are held by the Regency in
Lexington, and night meetings are convened, while
they are bringing campaign papers and Glancy
Jones speeches. See., and hooding the country with
such gu n i adding in large quantities. By the way,
what has become of their open meetings ? There
must certainly be something wrong. Last year
none but “midnight assassins' met in the dark !
Democracy courted the light—she had no dark
i deeds to conceal—not she! Democracy had no se
; cret meetings ’ Oh, no 1 The whole world and the
| rest of mankind might know- all about them 1 Amr,
| the scene is changed. We have caucuses by day
and meetings in the dark!
What a chancre must have come over these '‘con
spirators —these mignignt ass-aseins ’ —these
blessed lovers of the oppressed • furnners ” within
twelve short months ’ After this, it is to be hoped
that gentlemen will not throw away so much amu
nition upon secret caucuses, or appear so Beriously
exercised in sou! about other folks having secret
meetings '. We shall see. Another thing—while
the fever was so high as before-mentioned, some of
the bogus “dimmicrats,” "didn’t want any d—d
little Know Nothing votes’’—“they had plenty with
out their assistance. Wonder if they think so yet ?
It is to be hoped that tbit independence wiil be
borne in mind by some who now seem to be wa
vering as to the par. they shall act. I may be mis
taken, but it is my opinion that the trug, conserca
lict men of Oglethorpe cm-usy. whether they have
heretofore been Whigs or true Democrats, will
never let it be said of them in after years, that they
failed to vote for the only conservaltce candidate —
Mr. Fillmore —in 1856. and thus failed to assist in
the restoration of peace to the oouu.ry. wijen it was
so easy to do so and by voting for Buchanan only
voted for Fremont—as it certainly doea'nt require a
very great deal of acumen to discover that in the
race, old Buck will be no where! The contest be
ing solely between Fillmore and Fremont. Nar
rowed down to this, and where is there a single free
State—save possibly Pennsylvania—which Bn
111 »,umm*«LJ&mLmBSSSO!m
hiiuan can get ? 2\*4 m it> k the trordm
Who a u> battle against JPVr moot —win* is drnug so ?
Mr. Ftihnon is the man, And the only one. Besides
this, that which is calculated to astonish the world
most, is, that any old Clay Whig or Southern Bights
Democrat can ignore the past and hesitate for a
moment in his choice! While the one is a National
conservative, the other is a trickster and a dema
gogue—the foul of a parry f While the one, in
leaving the Executive ebaii, left the country at
peace, and the slavery question at rest, the other is
the puppet of a party who worship the arch-agitator
Douglas, and endorse his acts in the renewed agita
tion of that question. Can the conservative men
of Oglethorpe county—of Georgia—of the South—
of the North—of the East or of the West—hesitate
for a moment, or dally over their dearest rights ?
Again : So Clay man can consistently vote for
Buchanan ! Why ? Because he was the instru
ment by which the charge of bribery and corrup
tion, in villification of Mr. Clay, was gotten up—
and he never has yet had the magnanimity to vindicate
the truth in behalf of Mr. Clay • That is surely
a sufficient reason, for,
Disfigure, disguse, ignore as they will,
The stench of the action remains on it stilt !
Again. Over and above all these considerations,
Buchanan , in putting himself upon the platform he
has, endorses that odious abomination “Squatter
Soverignly thus admitting the right of the terri
torial legislature to legislate upou slavery—all that
the most rabid abolitionist could ask for; and upon
which the South ever looked as the knell of her doom,
as co-equals in the Union Are the men of the South
blinded by the glitter of the “public plunder ?” Are
they beguiled by the serpent of Federal office ? Has
the wiles of a few party tricksters and demagogues
caused them to become demented ? It uone of
these, whatcau sane men mean, when they preach
those strange doctrines —so marvellous in our eyes ?
The hope of the country, the welfare of our race,
looks to the conservative men of the country—the
whole country—for salvation, from disunion on the
one hand and a reckless government upon the
other! Will the call be a vain one ? Shall we wait
uutil we are bound hand and foot and the Philistines
be upon us ?
Pause and consider! Conservative men of Old
Oglethorpe—of Georgia! we beseech you! Listen
to no syren song that cries peace, when there is no
peace ! “Be sure you’re right, then go ahead.’’

For the Chronicle 4* Sentinel.
Letter from Col. Foiiche.
Mr. Editor My name having been proclaimed
in several uewspapers as a supporter of the Cincin
nati nominees, it becomes proper that I should
speak for myself. To a party confident of victory,
a single vote caunot be of much consequence. At
the first blast, when it seemed likely to be, aud was
confidently asserted that it would be a contest be
tween Buchanan and Fremont, 1 avowed a prefer
ence for Buchanan. Iu fact, the substitution of a
new platform for the Philadelphia platform, and the
nomination of Mr. Fillmore by a Convention iu
which Georgia und several other Southern States
were uot represented, left me, as a Southern Ameri
can, absolved from all mere party obligations. I
have deliberated carefully as to my duty to my
principles and the country. I shall support Mr
Fillmore, not because I concur with him in all his
political views, but because 1 do concur with him
upon certain important practical questions which
have been put in issue in this contest. In his recent
speeches he has assumed a more manly and states
manlike attitude than any other candidate before
the country. He has made his own platform, and
administered a bold rebuke to Black Republican
ism, which is more than the Cincinnati Convention
dared to do. Ho has said to those who are seeking
the political domination of the North over the South,
he does not want their votes. I can trust a man
wdio acts and speaks thus. He will act upon his
platform. The other platform—the Cincinnati plat
form—has but one object: to get votes —all sorts of
votes everywhere , North and South. It means
votes. It menus nothing else.
I should be most happy to co-operate with many
very worthy gentlemen, who act with the “Ameri
can Democratic Party f but it is not sufficiently
Americanized yet. Besides, being a State Rights
man, a free trade man, aud opposed to internal im
provements by the Government, 1 cannot support
a party which, iu the face of its own recent acts iu
Congress, giving away millions of land for internal
improvement purposes, declared at Cincinnati op
position to such works by the Government, one of
it* leading principles, and then joined at Washing
ton in passing, by a two-thirds vote, a whole batch
of bills appropriating vast sums of money for inter
nal improvements, over the vetoes of their own
party President.
This same party has for years neglected to reduce
a tariff which is extorting from the people a larger
amount of taxes than any other bill ever did. The
sum it extorts from the people for the government,
amounts to between sixty and seventy millions an
nually—double what a frugal administration ought
to spend. Such a sum annually abstracted from
the earnings of labor must operate ruinously upon the
industrious class. Restore it to those whose toils pro
duoe it. It will re animate the industry, and dispel
the mouetary embairassments of the people. Keep
it. and it becomes a germ of corruption and ex
travagance.
Mr. Pierce was defeated by the Northern out
siders of his own party, against the almost uuanb
mnus voice of the South and the insiders. It is
getting to lie a Democratic principle to let in a
fresh and hungry swarm every four years. This
principle is condemned by the practice of Washing
ton, Jefferson, Madison, Mouroe and Jackson. I
am opposed to it. Thus, upon two prominent old De
mocratic principles, the antirTaiiff and anti-internal
Improvement —I am opposed to the practices of the
new Democracy. It may be asked, where is the
parly that will do better ? The answer is, show
me one that can do worse. It i* time to try an
other.
But where is the State Rights man who can trust
his principles to a party, led, even in Georgia, by
their worst enemies—men who have repeatedly be
trayed them ? Men, who but a little while ago, tram
pled upon their own cherished party organization to
keep McDonald out of the Senate. They have
since given him a judicial office, increasing the
pay and diminishing the labor , to induce accep
tance. It was done byway of banishment from the
field of politics. One object of the coalition of
Cobb, Toombs and Stephens—the Georgia trium
virs—in 1849 and ’SO, was to put down the State
Rights men of the ©ld Democratic party. Does any
man believe that this triumvirate is going to espouse
the cause of State Rights at this late day ? No ’ no !
State Rights men are held by them in very little
esteem. Disunionists, traitors, “ reptiles ,” are the
amiable appelations applied to them, whenever
they imagine they can crush them. I repeat it,
from a party constituted and led as the present:
“American Democratic party” is, State Rights men
have little to hope for themselves, for their princi
ples—nothing. That there are some good State
Rights men acting with it, under the vain idea that
the party will control its leaders, I freely admit, and
this is the only circumstance which causes me any
regret at a separation from it.
But there are other and most important practical
questions upon which l differ widely and radically
from the new Democracy. Theopinions I expressed
a year ago as to the modification of the naturalize
tion laws to meet a condition of things never con
templated by those who framed the law as it now
stands, are not only unchanged, but strengthened
and confirmed. Time will show whether I did in
justice to foreigners in setting them down as Tree
: ©oilers aud Abolitionists. If, as a native born Ame
rican I was unwilling to jeopard the great
experiment of self-government by admitting to the
right of suffrage, without due preparation, vast
hordes of ignorant, if not vicious foreigners. I was,
as a Southern man, still more hostile to submitting
my rights in the territories to foreigners not natural
ized even under our present laws. This thing was
done, in the vaunted Kansas - Nebr a ska Act. In
that act, Congress armed foreigners with the right
of voting in the territory before they were natural
ized under its own law's, or could vote anywhere
else. The thing was done in the abused, the prosti
tuted name of popular sovereignty. The bill gave
to Foreigners the power to exclude the native
Southern people from their own territory Hence
its sole claim to favor at the North ; hence it meets
the approbation of even Martin Van Buren. It in
augurates squatter sovereignty —even Foreign
squatter sovereignty vritb the power to rob the South
of her interest in the territories, and opens the way
to the grand final robbery to which all Abolitionists
and Freeaoilers are looking with eager expectancy.
It is a substitute for the Wilmot Proviso—more de
testable, because, while equally iniquitous, it is vile
ly insidious. The Proviso was a bold robber—for
eign squatter sovereignty is a gang of cowardly
pick-pockets— part of whom would delude us with
praises of popular sovereignty aud boasts of odious
restrictions removed, while the other rifles us of our
property. Let this infamous doctrine he sustained
and carried out by the aid of the Van Burens with
the whole Buffalo gang at their heels, aided by all
the foreigners in the country, aud we are reduced
to the condition of subjects to a government too vir
tuous to protect, while it claims and exercises the
power to tax. rob and hang ala veko^fers.
The chance cf th-e £outn was bad enough in com
petition with the unaided native freesoii element.—
Arm it with the doctrine of squatter sovereignty—
the power to legislate us out of our own territories, |
as slaveholders, before assuming ice 0 i
States, while we have no ponjfCL even if we ekould
get the start, to exclude Abolitionists or Fieeeoflers
—and then cap this climax of iniquity by making
the whole horde of foreign squatters subsidiary to
the native, and who can fail to see the shameful,
dishonorable, disastrous condition of the humiliated
and subjugated South ?
The American party, at least in the South, and
many of them elsewhere repudiate ‘Jus doctrine
distinctly and emphatically On the other hand,
Toombs and ztep oiher Southern Democratic Sena
tors, have recently voted against a proposition to
restrict the right of voting in Kansas to citizens
tive and naturalized. Are the American Demo
cracy of Georgia, satisfied with this vote of their
new loader ? Has any Democratic press dared to
breathe a word of disapprobation T Not one! Yet
nearly every man of the party is opposed to Squat
ter Sovereignty. Some of them have told me they
would not bo oontroled by the triumvirate. Wc
shall see. For myself, 1 cun give no couHtoiiam* or
support ia any way to this abominable doctrine, or
any of those who support, connive at, or “acquiesce *
in it. Finally, if I had beeu eager to get into the
American Democratic party, it is manifest I could
not have done so in tl»** face of the Cincinnati plat
form. and of some of the published sayings in the
Convention, without the moat abject humiliation.
I have defined my position—l am the slave of no
party. I want no office. I shall vote in accordance
with my principles in reference to practical issues
before the country. I shall vote for Millard Fill

Mr. Fillmore and the South —Ills Vote ou
Atherton’s It evolution*.
The Georgia Constitutionalist, and other presses
of kindred character, have republished, from the
Richmond Enquirer, certain votes of Millard Fill
more on the Atherton Resolutions with a great flour
ish of trumpets to prove that Mr. Fillmore is infec
ted with Abolition, because he voted in company
with Adams, Gidding3 aud Slade. The Constitu
tionalist has gone so far, as to say, that Fillmore,
voted against every one of them (the Atherton Reso
lutions) “in company with Slade, Giddings und oth
ers.” How much truth there is in this assertion of
the Constitutionalist will appear before the close of
this communication.
These resolutions were, from their connection, the
shape in which they were presented, and the manner
in which they were pressed through the House of
Representatives, extremely objectionable; so much
so, that several Southern members refused to vote on
them: aud I venture the assertion, that if they
were now offered iu Congress, they would not with
the exception of the first, (which by the by, none of
the Democratic papers have published) receive a
single vote from the slave holdiug States. They
were prepared in a caucus of the Democratic mem
bers of Congress on Saturday night of the Bth Dec.
1838, so said the Charleston Mercury of Dec. lltli,
and placed in the hands of Mr. Atherton of New
Hampshire, to be offered. Accordingly, he intro
duced them ou the 11th Dee. and made a speech ex
planatory of his reasons for offering them, aud con
cluded by moving the previous question, so as to
off all debate and amendments. Here then was a
set of party resolutions, prepared in the secret cau
cus of a party, spruug suddenly and unexpectddly
upou the House—the party iu secret meeting had
given them a shape to suit themselves.
The Whig party was forced to vote on them from
a mere reading at tue Clerk’s desk, without time
for consideration aud reflection, and without au op
portunity of debating them or moving au amend
ment If intended as a fair aud honorable expres
sion of opinion ou a great and important question
in which all should unite, why were they prepared
in a caucus of the party proposing them, from
which the other party, and more especially South
ern Whigs, whose rights, and the rights and inte
rests of whose constituents were to be affected and
excluded ? Why were Southern Whigs denied a
participation in giving them “form and shape,”
and why were they denied the privilege of debate,
aud moving amendments. Why this secret con
clave—this secret plotting, and why the applica
tion of the gag, if there was not “something more
intended than met the eye ?” Is it auy wonder
that the resolutions thus prepared, and introduced,
and thus forced upon the Whigs, should meet with
opposition ? Now let us see how they were receiv-
Mr. TlUinghast enquired ‘ whether the gentle
man from New-Hampshire, after introducing his
resolutions prefacing them with a speech, and then
moving the previous question, would not suffer other
geutleman to reply ? The mover was dumb.
Mr. Bell of Tennessee, “moved au adjournment
of the House, with a request, that the House would
order the resolutions to be printed, so that when,
the members come here to-morrow, they might
vote Mr. Cushman “objected
to the motion to print, which could not be put with
out unanimous consent,” and the House refused to
adjourn.
Mr. Williams, of Tennessee, “asked to be excused
from voting, on the ground that he had not had an
opportunity to look at As he was
precluded from stating his views in regard to them,
lie wanted to look well at each word before lie gave
iiis vote ou it.” His request was refused.
Mr. Stanley, of N. C., “made the same request,
and stated us his reasons, first, that he had not had
time to examine his resolutions, aud to see whether
they gave to the South all the South had a right to
demand. Another reason was, that like all the
things which came from the palace, they were of a
party complexion.”
Mr. Underwood, of Kentucky, asked to be ex
cused from voting, and gave his reasons at length
and was refused.
Mr. Wise “asked that the House would excuse
him from voting, and he did so with the distinct un
derstanding, that whether the House excused him
or no, he should not vote. His reasons for wishing
to be excused, he averred, were inherent in the re
solutions themßel\ es. They were utterly derelict as
to the great point on which alone the South could
stand—one of the resolutions was so drawn, as to
be liable to the iufereuce, that, if the agitation of
the question of slavery was intended as a means of
affecting its abolition only in the District, and no
further, it was not censurable—one of his chief rea
sons why he could not vote on these resolutions,
was, that they were a trap—a trap for the South.
Mr. Jenifer, of Maryland, “ briefly stated his rea
sons why he desired not to vote on the resolutions
—they were intended to affect the rights of the
slave-holding States, and the representatives from
the South have had no opportunity to examine them.
A proposition to print has been refused, and an op
portunity to examine denied. From what can be
inferred from the speech of the mover, who called
for the previous question immediately after, the
South have reason to believe that some sinister ob
ject is intended. We of the South cannot be heard
in defence of our rights—l therefore, (said Mr. J.)
do not intend to vote upon a question spruug upon
us without notice, coming from a source which we
should distrust, denied the right to examine, the
privilege of seeing in print a matter which may
negatively or affirmatively affect our most impor
tant interests, and we cannot be heard. I decline
to vote for another reason, which is, that those re
solutions are now forced upou u.s, not for the purpose
of allaying the excitement upon this most important
question, as regards Southern interests, but for po
litical purposes .”
The question was theu taken on the first resolu
tion, which, be it remembered, none [of the Demo
cratic papers have published with the vote of Mr.
Fillmore on it, but they have taken special care to
suppress both the resolution, and his vote. It is as
follows :
“ Resolved, Thai his government, is a government
of limited powers, and that by the constitution of the
United States, Congress has no jurisdiction what
ever over the institution of slavery in the several
Sta.es of the confederacy
I speak from the record, when I say, that Millard
Fillmore voted in the affirmative, but not “iu com
pauy with Adams and Slade.” What then becomes
of the assertion of the Constitutionalist, that Fill
more, voted against every one of them, (the Atlier
tou Resolutions) “in company with Slade, Giddings
and others ?” And what shall be said of the Rich
mond Enquirer, from whom the attack on Millard
Fillmore comes, for suppressing the resolution above
quoted, and the vote ol Mr. Fillmore in favor of it ?
There has been a gross and outrageous suppression
of truth iu this matter, aud I leave it to the Demo
cratic presses concerned in it, to decide among
themselves, who shall shoulder the responsibility.
From the detail above given, it is apparent that
the introduction of the resolutions was a yarty ma
noeuvre, and intended more for political effect than
anything else. An examination of some of them
will also show this. Take for emample, the third :
“Resolved, That Congress has no righ to do that
indirectly, which it cannot do directly, and that the
agitation of the subject of slavery in the District of
Columbia, or the territories, as a means and with a
view of disturbing or overthrowing that institution
in the several States , is against the true spirit and
meaning of the constitution, an infringement of the
rightsof the States affected, and a breach of the
public faith on which they entered into the confed
racy ?
Accorniug to the true intent and meaning of this
resolution, “the agitation of the subject of slavery
in the District of Columbia, or the territories” is
unconstitutional only when used “as a means or
with a view of overthrowing that institution in the
several States,” it is then and only then “an in
fringement of the rights of the States affected." —
It says not a word o! “rights affected in the Dis
trict," or the territories.” Now there was no neces
sity for guarding the rights of the States in the
third resolution—that was amply done in tke first.
Now why not declare “the agitation of the aunject
of slavery in the District of Columbia or the terri
tories” unconstitutional per se. of itself, unconnec
ted with that institution of the several States ?
Why not say that the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia or the territories'’ is, per sc,
“an infringement of the rights” of the citizens of
that District and the territories. Why say that it
would be an infringement of the States affected,
when in truth and in fact, the infringement itself
would be upon the rights of the District aud territo
ries t Why ?—Because the Northern Democrats
did not intend to declare the abolition of slavery in
the District of Columbia, and the territories uncon
stitutional ; for the resolution does admit, by all
fair rules of construction, the constitutional power
of Congress to abolish slavery in the District of
Columbia and the territories, when not done “as a
means, and with the view” to abolish it in the
States. And it was so understood, for in taking
the vote on it, when the name cf Wiiddy Thomp
son was called “he asked io be excused from voting
because no vote he could give, would express his
true opinion—for whilst the resolution positively as
serted what he believed to he true, that Congress
has no right to abolish slavery in the District with
4 a view to abolish it in the States,' it implied by
the strongest negative pregnant, that Congress has
the power to abolish it in the District, if it is not
done with a view to abolishing slavery in the States
—a proposition which he denied.”
Mr. Dawson, of Georgia, voted for the resolution
with a protestaudo, saying “I shall vote in the af
firmative, omitting or expunging, so far as my vote
goes, the words ‘with the view, dec. Congress has
no constitutional power for any‘views,’ or for any
purposes whatever to interfere with the question.
The fifth and last resolution wa* liable to the
same objectien, having in it the words, “with the
views aforesaid’’ —and it was liable to a still fur
ther objection, at least with Southern men in this,
that it* admitted the reception of abolition peti
tions.
On this resolution, Mr Chambers ‘asked to be
excused from voting, on the ground that if he voted
in the affirmative, he should be understood as ap
proving the reception of abolition petitions,” and
Gen. Glascock, of this State, declined voting on the
same ground.
The Constitutionalist asks “where is the name of
a Southern Whig in the nays published by us ? Can
they be found with those of Auams. Giddings, Slade
and Fillmore ?” Yes ; in the vote on the fifth re
solution, he will among the nays, the names of
Bell, Baldwin, J. L. Williams, Word and Crabb, all
Southern Whigs—and if to “vote in company with
Adams, Giddings, Slade and others” makes Filimore
an abolitionist, he will find one Gen. Caleb Cushing,
who is regarded as a very Democrat, m the
same category throughout all the voting.
Much more might oe said to show the character,
object and intent'of the resolutions under considera
tion, but enough tor the present. They were in
tended to provoke opposition from the Whigs, and
without giving them a chance to be heard, placed
them in a false position. It was a dirty, party
trick, “conceived in sin and brought forth ui iniqui
ty, ’ and it has lost nothing cf ii£ original character,
if we may judge from the manner in which the de
deceptrtn is still attempted to be practised upon
: those, who are not conversant with the history of
the resolutions. Vindex.

The most startling event of the week was the

Judgeofthc Supreme Court. Mr. Hopkins had

for the purpose of arresting Malony, charged with
conveying munitions of war to the city for the use
of the State. Terry interfered, at the head of an
armed party, to protect Malony. Hopkins collect
ed Bome assistance and attacked the other party on
the street. A melee ensued, in which Terry stabbed
Hopkins with a bowie knife.
The news of the affray reached the room of lhe
Committee, and a general alarm was sounded. In
fifteen minutes a regiment of infantry, two compa
nies of cavalry and five of artillery were in motion.
In the mean time Maloney and his party had taken
refuge in the back of a building well guarded and
fortified, which was immediately invested on all
sides by the troops, and the inmates ordered to
surrender. They obeyed without hesitation. Ma
loney and Terry was taken to the quarters of the
Committee.
At the same time five armories of the State

were taken prisoners, but all subsequently relogacd
on parol.

prisoner. Hopkins was still alive.

freighted with arras for the State authorities were
seized in the Bay by armed vessels belonging to the
committee.

ties and held to bail in the sum of $25,000 on the
charge of piracy.

GROCERIES —We have no improvement to note in
the Grocery trade. There, is very little doing, and wo
note no change in the prices of any leading article ex
cept Cuba Molasses, which have advanced. Other de
scription* of goods are unchanged and we refer to quo
tations.
PROVISIONS.—Bacon continues in good demand and
prices are well sustained. Flour has undergone no
change—little doing.
GRAIN. —The very unfavorable reports of the crops
render holder* of Coni very Ann in their demands for
higher rates. There la no speculative demand—our quo
tations indicate the rates for small lots. There is little
doing in Wheat, and prices remain as previously quoted*
EXCHANGE. —Checks on the North 1 per cent, pre
mium.
FREIGHTS. —The river is so low that steamers of the
lightest draft navigate with difficulty. Freights are the
same as previously quoted.

LIVERPOOL. July 11.— Cotton —The week’s sales
sum up 35,150 bales, and consist of 2,980 on speculation,
2,830 for export, and 28,340 to the trade.
Prices are unchanged ; we quote.

Our last circular reported the market closing quieter,
since when this feeling has rather increased than other
wise. The advices per Arabia were not of a character
to impart animation, the receipts though small not di
minishing so rapidly as was anticipated; the weather,
hitherto so favorable has undergone a material change,
and on Monday night a violent storm occurred, occasion
ed some damage to the growing crops; on Tuesday the
failure of a cotton broker was announced; and yesterday
some disappointment was occasioned by the non reduc
tion of discount by the Bank of England. This combi
nation of adverse influences made a tame market, and
throughout the week the demand from all classes of buy
ers has boen but limited, while holders, though very Ann
have been free sellers; the abundant choice gave pur
chasers, in some Instances, a slight advantage, but the
quotations of last week remain unaltered.
Sea Island and Egyptians are unchanged. Brazils are
rather more inquired for. .Surat is In good demand, and
being rather scarce, commands extreme rates.
To-day the sales are estimated at 7000 bales, 2000 on
speculation and for export.
The Arago, with three days later news, arrived this
morning; prices in New York had slightly advanced, but
our market is unaffected by the intelligence.
Manchester —The demand has been only moderate,
but a fair amount of business has been done. Spinners,
being well engaged, are very Arm ; some descriptions of
cloth, too, arc well under contract, the heavier makes,
are, however, still dull, and are produced at a decided
loss. The suspension of Lowe & Lawe was announced
yesterday, the liabilities it is feared will be very heavy;
they had a very large business as yarn agents, and are
interested in a mill at .Stockport.
Prcadstvffs —The business lias been to a fair extent,
and, owing to the unsettled weather, prices have ad
vanced about 2d per bushel for Wheat, while Flour Is
worth 6d to Is per bbl. more money.
p. S.—Saturday, July 12, noon.—The market opens
very quietly, and the sab's will probably not exceed (5000
bales. The returns of the Bank of France and England
aroboth very unfavorable, that of the former showing a
decrease in bullion of nearly £1,800,000 lor the month,
while the returns of the latter show a decrease of £462,-
800 for the week. — Hermann , Cox &r Co.
Correspondence of the Commercial Advertiser.
HAVRE, Wednesday evening, July 9. —I wrote you
on Monday last, by the Ericaon steamer, via Liverpool.
On the following day, our Cotton market relapsed into a
dull state, the intelligence from Liverpool not having
been of an encouraging nature. The advices from the
United States up to the 26th ultimo, also came to hand.
The sales, therefore, were only 800 bales yesterday.
To-day there has been but a slack demand, and the
transactions do not exceed 300 bales. Prices are held
with less firmness than on Monday last. . The Emma ar
rived from Charleston.
The market is also dull for Flour, which we quote 45f
046 f. for Western Canal. Our present stock is reduced
to 40,000 bbls. The weather, which was boistrous, has
again become flne, and the coming crop promising well.
The steamer Alps will leave our port for New York on
the 15th inst.; the Emeu and Vigo are announced for the
22d inst.
