; they take ecu e never to repeat it. They are by that,
aslyr the SA s-f oao letter—they don't want te tell the
whole troth, beesmse they prefer to make a false
impre-.-iou by telling only a part ot the truth, and so
telling it a* to make the people believe a fake
* hood.
Again, it irru -re affoctatiou, fur every inteliig' Ut j
I man kr ows u.at the restoration of the Missouri Corn- !
| promir line is better, infinitely better than squatter
! hot*-reignty and alien suffrage, which are the favo- |
rib- doetiines of Buchanan, and which the Democ j
1 racy X*>rth and South are now advocating in their
.-.uppeat of the Kaii ias bill and Buchanan. The
MKsoari Compromise only excluded slavery from
terrltery north of •'». 9b". Squatter sovereignty
and alien suffrage will as certainly exclude it from
all territory south of that line, na the Missouri Com
yiroLiiso or the Wilmot Proviso would it.—
They have therefore little to be concerned about.—
For the favorite doctrine of Mr. Buchanan is infi
nitely worse Mian the restoration of the Missouri
Compromise.
Again, it is mere affectation, because all men
knofrihat Mr. Fillmore is pledged to the princi
ples of the Compromise of J 850—which Compromise
not only repudiate-the principle of the Missouri
Compromise, but equally repudiates the Buchanan
•Democratic doctrines of fvquatter Sovereignty and
Alien .Suffrage. That Compromise established the
true doctrine that no power In the Territories could
establish or abolish slavery, save the convention
which organized State governments. This, is ;Le
doctrine of Mr. Fillmore, and it is utterly hostile
to-the principle of tike Missouri Compromise, and
the Squatter Sovereignly and Alien Suffrage fea
tures couf a! ned in the Kansas bill.
I Tii© following article in reference to the position
of Mr. Fu.i.Muiift, which w© ropy from th© Mobile
Advertiser, is very forcible and to the point. We
therefore adopt it :
It in undoubtedly true, that the Platform of’s6
does condemn the repeal ol the Missouri Compro
mise audit is also moat true, that Mr. Fillmore
disapproves of the repeal.
Mr. Fillmore, to b© consistent with himself, < « uld
not do otherwise than condemn that repeal. The
Compr•.-mire irons tires of JSSO were considered by
him hh ‘‘a final settlement* of the subject of slave
ry*— as establishing a principle that was to be «a
credlyobw.-rved, and strictly adhered to, in allsub
se'p’ent leph»lati<*n. it was I*ii- hope a.d expecta
tion, that an adherence to that Compromise would
forever quell agitation on this exciting subject, and
put an end to that sectional discord and strife that
had threatened the safety and permanence of the
j Cnion. His views were pat forth, unmistakably
and forcibly, in his annual message to Congress in
1H.51. We quote as follows :
“ It was hardly tohave been expected that tiie se
ries of measures passed at your last session, with
the view of healing your sectional differences which
had sprung from the shivery and territorial ques
tions, should at once have realized their beneficent
purposes. Ail mutual concessions in the nature of a
compromise, must necessarily be unwelcome to
men of extreme opinions. Andtliough without such
cow* as ions our Constitution could not have been
formed, and cannot be permanently sustained, yd
we have seen them made the subject of bitter con
livv< rsy in both sections of the Republic. It re
quired many months of discussion and deliberation
to secure the concurrence of a majority of Congress
iu their-favor. It would b strange if they had
been received with immediate approbation by peo
ple and States prejudiced and heated by the exciting
controversies of their representatives. I believe
those measures to have been required by the cir
cumstances and condition of the country. I believe
they were necessary to allay asperities and animosi
ties that were rapidly alienating one section of the
country from another, and destroying those frater
nal sentiments whieh are the strongest supports of
the Constitut ion. They were adopted in the spirit
of conciliat ion. 1 believe that a great majority of
our fellow-citizen a sympathize in that spirit, mid
that purpose, and in the main approve, and are pre
pared, iuall respeets,to sustain these enactments.
*1 cannot doubt that the American people, bound
together by kindred blood and common tradition,
still cherish a paramount regard fur the Union of
their fathers ; and that they are ready to rebukcany
attempt to violate its integrity, to disturb the com
promises on which it is based, or to resist the laws
which have been enacted under ils authority. The
series of measures to which I have alluded arc re
garded by in© as a ml Hem ru! in-principle and sub
stance—<t final s' tth nicntof the dangerous and ex
riling subjir/s tr/tich the// embrace. Most of these
subjects, indeed, arc beyond your reach, jus the
legislation which disposedof them was in its char
acter, final and irrevocable. It may be presumed,
from tho opposition which they all encountered,
that none of those measures were free from imper
fections, but in their mutual dependence and con
nection, they formed a system of compromises, the
most conciliatory and the best for the ent ire coun
try, that could be obtained from conflicting section
al interests and opinions.
''For this reason J recommend your adherence to
the adjustment established by /hose mcasures, until
time and experience shall demonstrate the necessity
of further legislation to guard against evasion or
abuse.
“By that adjustment we have been rescued from
the wuh and boundless agitation that surrounded
us, and have a fern, distinct and legal ground t >
nsl upon. And the occasion, l trust, will justify
uie in exhorting my countrymen to rally upon and
maintain that ground as the Inst , if not the only
means, of restoring peace and. quiet to the country,
and maintaining inviolate the integrity of the
We invite particular attention to those portions
w hich we have italicized, but the whole is worthy of
special consideration. In letter and in spirit, it is
an unconditional committal of Mr. Fillmore to the
policy of that compromise—as a permanent policy
that should forever quiet tho slavery agitation. It
is a committal as strong and us distinct as could
have been made against any now scheme that would
have the effect of renewing agitation. And even
that paragraph, which has been frequently quoted
to prove him in favor of further legislation in a cer
tain contingency, it will be seen has reference only
to the Compromise Measures—to their improvement
and their perfection. He advises an aalierence to
the adjustment il untif thne and experience shall de
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse.” He did not ad
vise le w legislation to produce new excitement and
agitation, but only such legislation as might be nec
essary to guard against the evasion or abuse of the
adjustment
These views of Mr. Fillmore were cordially re
sponded to by all parties (except a few extremists
and families) in every section of the country. They
touched the patriotic heart of the nation, and quell
ed the angry waves of sectional strife. So univer
sal was the feeling of popular approbation, that the
sentiments were embodied iu tue platforms of both
the Whig and Democratic parties of the nation, iu
their Presidential nominating conventions in 1852.
The Deinoerutk Convention declared that “the
Democratic party of the Union will abide by and
adhere t<> the faithful execution of the acts known
a- tin* compromise measures, settled by the hist
Congress, the tu t for the reclaiming of fugitives
from service included, which act, being designed to
carryout oil express pro\ ision of the Constitution,
cannot, with fidelity thereto, be repealed or so
changed jis to destroy or impair its efficiency:
Resolved. That we will resist all attempts at ro
pewing iu Congress or out of it, the slavery agita
tion under whatever shape and color the attempt
limy be made.
I .angling© cannot be more explicit than this. Nev
er was a party more fully and irrevocably commit
led on anv subject, than was the Democratic party
on this. They*solemnly declared, and uncondition
ally pledged the party to the declaration, that they
would “resist alt attempts at renewing m Congress
or out of it, the slaver > agitation, under whatever
shape and color the attempt may be made." And
yet, iu the face of this declaration, in less than one
vear after its solemn utterance, “the slavery agita
tion" is renewed—renewed unnecessarily, foolishly,
wickedly, and without the possibility of any practi
cal giK'd to any section or party in the land—by u
proposition to repeal the Missouri Compromise ' —
But it was not our purpose here to comment on this
act, but merely to show that all parties sanctioned
and acted upon the policy so earnestly recommen
ded by Mr. Fillmore in his message of 01.
The* Whig party were not behind the Democratic
party iu embracing thkr policy. In their National
Convention, held at Baltimore in 1852, they estab
lished e. platform, from which we make the following
extract:
-Tuat the series of measures commonly known as
the Compromise, including the fugitive slave law.
;i.roacquiesced in by ihe Whig party of the United
States, as « settlement, in principle and substance—
; a final settlement-- »f the dangerous and exciting
questions which they embrace ; and so far as tlu*
I fugitive slave law is concerned, we will maintain
j the same, and insist on its strict enforcement until
‘ time and exp. lent* shall demonstrate the ueceasi
! • of further kgisUuon te guard against evasion or
’ < k buse, not impairing its present efficiency: and we
! u« private all turther agitation of slavery questions
4 :** dangerous to our peat «•. and will discountenam*
efforts at the rent* wal or continuance of such agi
tation, in Congress or out of it. whatever, wherever.
or liv»w« ur tiio attempt may be made ; aiul we will
maintain this* system as essential to the nationality
of the Whig party and integrity of the Union.’*
It will thus be seen that both of the two great
parties of the country, though antagonistic on other
points, united cordially in the adoption of Mr.
Fillmore's policy in regard to the settlement of
tUt.- slavery question. Mr. Fillmore, the Democrat
ic party, and the Whig party, all agreed that
the Compromise ot lN'tf) should be considered
"a final settlement” of the slavery question, and
that they would “resist all attempts at renewing"
agitation on the subject, “in Congress or out of it.”
■ whein vt-r, wherever, or however the attempt may
be made.”
This jh s.tion originated with Mr. Fillmore. The
platform was one of his own creating. It was first
embodied in his message ot 1851. more than six
months prior ;<• the assembling of either of the N -
ttonal Conventions, aud those conventions onlv tol
! »wed the path marked out by uim. This platiorm,
then, is truly aud literally the Pill more Platform. He
originated it : ht has ever since stoodtiruhy upou it,
aud he i> pledged to stand upon it for the future.—
From the i*osition occupied by him in 185*2 he has
‘‘never departed.”
Occupying this position, then, and entertaining
the views which w, he-s < quoted. how could Mr
Fillmore approve the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise. and the consequent renewal of “the slave
ry agitation : As a man of principle, of honor and
of truth, he < :•»««/ «•* do n. Those who pledged
themselves to the policy of Mr. Fillmore, either iu
the Whig or Democratic conventions, and have
since been instrument a' iu producing the fearful
agitation that now convulses the land, causing the
pillars of the Union to shake and totter to their
foundation, have been guilty of a violation of the
n ~r solemn of pledges, and forfeited all ciaims to
resect of honorable and truth abiding men
The. ■■ !«<.: of the: Missouri Contpr&mitt U ikt im
n.ediate <:ud the soie c.. - *. of the present frightful
“agitation."
Mr Fillmore, we repeat, as a man ot honor and
of principle, cannot approve the repeal of the Mis
souri Compromise. To do so. would be an act ot
inconsistency and of dishonor, which he is incapable
of perpetrating.

Fr. everyfcvcltou of this vast republic, every
j a*au brings us most cheering newt- of the outran!
' progress and the liourly increasing ’populai ily and
strength of Fillmor*.—every thing mdicater i nui a
©risks is at uan*: -that a great revolution in public
sentiment, hm grand as it is sublime, patriotic and
moral,'is now going on which cannot fail to secure
a great and glorious triumph of the candidate who
known North, no South, no East, no West, but
whose great, enlarged patriotism and sagacious
statesmanship embrace his country, his whole coun
try. and nothing but his country.
Knowing the deep m lieitude which thousands of
our readers, in common with the great mass' of the
people, fed In this all absorbing question. we sub
join wme of the evidence which'has contributed to
the conviction of our mind, and ask for it a careful
perusal. It wilt thoroughly expose the shallow in
trigue of the BucHANAKisTsJn trying to make the
impression that Fillmore has no strength.
The first we introduce 1- an extract from a letter,
written by a gentleman of New_Orleaus to the New
Orleans Bulletin. Here it is :
Buffalo, Aug. 12,185 G.
Yon know, GoL, that when your humble corres-
I 1 pondentleft New Orleans, he was undetermined as to
whom he should vote for, f. eiingithie duty as a South
erner, and a lover of the Union, to vote for the m oi,
I be he Buchanan or Fillmore, who stood the b -st
| chance of beating Fremont, and thereby defeating
j the unholy objects which the sectional disorgani
j zers of the North La\ ■ in view. I am no longer unde
cided upon this point Fillmore, who a few weeks
ago I thought et<*>d not the ghost of a chance of be
ing elected, I now perceive is gaining ground with
a rapidity that astonishes his most sanguina friends,
and furnishes abundant grounds for the hope that
the pdpular verdict will be in his favor.
It is the prevalent opinion up here among men
who do not look at political signs through the spec- !
tacles of party prejudice, that Buchanan's influ
ence is fast waning, and sagacious Democrats are
terribly frightened lest he should fail to carry even
Pennsylvania. There are but few who are rash
enough to predict that Le will carry any other
northern State. Fillmore can alone cope success
fully with Fremont.
I will say no more concerning the general aspect
of the canvass, of which you are already acquaint
ed, but will confine mvself to New York, of which !
State, extended travel and intercourse with many j
of its most intelligent and distinguished citizens, j
enable me to speak knowingly. In the “Empire I
State” Fillmore is acquiring strength every day. i
The recent letters of ex-Gov. Hunt and the Hon. 1
li. D. Barnard, in which they announced their de- i
termination to support Mr. Fillmore, have exerted a |
powerful influence among the old-line Whigs, who j
were hesitating as to the course to pursue, and they ;
will doubtless gocu masse for the American candidate, i
Nor are they an insignificant body of men, as the j
Democrats well know, when, at their last State j
Convention, they adopted a resolution expressive of i
their grief at the demise of the Whig party, as of a
“foeman worthy of their steel*’—the evident design
of which was to conciliate those noble men who still
cling to the dead body of that gloriouaold party with
the belief—God grant that ii may not prove an er
roneous one—that it will ere long be reinstated and
acquire the same life and vigor that it possessed of
yore. There are also thousands of National Demo
crat 3, in this Slate who, disgusted with their own
party, especially at its endorsement of the ineffi
cient. imbecile anti corrupt administration of Frank
lin Pierce, have avowed their intention of voting
for Fillmore, and there art; thousands of others
who will follow suit if Buchanan’s prospects do
not grow brighter by November than they are at
present. Their ruling motive will be to defeat Fre
mont, even If they have to abandon their own can
didate. That Democrats, usually so wedded to
party, should evince so much liberality, will no
doubt astonish you, and I can see now incredu
lous smiles on the countenance of some of your
readers; but I learn that such will be the case
from the most reliable sources. The fact is that
Buchanan stands no earthly chance of carrying
the great State ot New’ York. The Democratic
papers have made much of the recent coalition at
Syracuse between the Hards and Softs, but it is
well understood here that it was only a coalition be
tween the office-holders and old worn-out political
hacks of the respective wings, for the purpose of
electing their State officers and having another pull
at the public pabulum—not a union of the masses
of the party. The feud between the Hards and the
Softs is as bitter and irreconcilable as ever.
That Mr. Fillmore will carry New York you may
rest assured. In conversation in the cal's a few
days ago with a distinguished democrat—a suppor
ter ol' Buchanan—whose name, were I at liberty to
mention it, you would at once recognize as having
been long connected with the political history of
New York—lie told me that he had been on a tour
in various parts of the State, and that New York
would certainly give Fillmore ji handsome majority.
Furthermore, 1 learn by a private letter from New
York city that bets are freely offered there that the
Slate will roll up 20,000 majority for the American
ticket. So, Colonel, you can safely put down, in
your Presidential calculations, the thirty-five dec
toral votes of New York on the Fillmore fist.
Junior.
Another correspondent of the same paper writes
thus:
II , Conn., Aug. 20, 185f>.
The cause of Fillmore ia steadily advancing, and
expectation of his success growing brighter every
day even hi.s enemies cannot but admit that lie
has been tried in the balance (th© Presidential of
fice) and not found wanting.
Yours, faithfully.
A correspondent of the Huntsville American, is
equally sanguine he says :
Saratoga, Friday, 15th Aug.
“The Whig convention at Albany, yesterday, was
very enthusiastic and large, and unanimous for Fill
more. New York is certain for Mr. Fillmore, and
every day he is growing stronger. 1 only hope the
Southern people will support him. It will be bad
policy for them to support Buchanan, rest assured.
For the National party at the North would be dis
couraged, and afterwards go for the North. I really
believe if the Fillmore people of the North were
convinced the Southern people would desert him,
and support Buchanan, that Fremont would sweep
every Northern State.
“Fillmore is stronger at the North than you imag
ine, and will carry several Xorlhern Slates. This
State surely.
“Do tell your Southern [friends, while there is a
good chance for Fillmore, to rally in his support.”
Iu Illinois the progress of the cause is also on
ward as will be seen by the following :
The Grayville (111.) Herald has hoisted the Fill
more flag, and in regard to it says :
Having become sole proprietors of the Herald,
and believing the claims of Millard Fillmore to the
Presidency to be paramount to all others —we have
spread eur banner to the breeze, and will from
lienee to the election, battle in behalf of those prin
ciples which we believe to be most conducive to the
best interests and welfare of the country.”
The work will go on, and tlie press will still con
tinue to endorse the American candidates. Flag
alter flag will be cast forth to the breeze, and each
will be received with shouts of welcome from the
American people.
The lion. Buckner S. Morris, of Chicago, has con
sented to run as the Fillmore candidate for Govern
or of Illinois. Col. Bissell is the Republican, and
Col. Richardson the Democratic candidate.
The same may be said of lowa, from which we
have the following intelligence :
A very able electoral ticket is in the field in lowa,
for Fillmore and Donclson, and a correspondent of
the St. Louis Intelligencer expresses confidently
the idea that it will be successful, lie says there is
a perfect revolution going on there within a few
weeks back.
lowa is the fourth Northern State where Fillmore
electoral tickets have been formed within the past
few weeks. The State Conventions to select elec
tor. favorable to Mr. Fillmore, meet next week, or
very early in September, in halt a dozen more of
the Northern States.
We might increase these extracts, but we have
not space but for a few from our own genial South.
Here are two extracts of letters from Georgia to the
Savannah Republican —both cheering, and we could
make many more from our own correspondence
equally^cheering:
Pond Town, Aug. 30th, 1850.
As regards politics, Fillmore’s prospects are
brightening every day. It is true he has lost a few
office-seekers, but in their place he has received
many accessions from among the honest voters ot
the country. He is much stronger here than the
American party proper, and will poll a much larger
vote than Judge Andrews did last Pall.
Very respectfully, Sumter.
Sandersvili.e, Aug. 20,1850.
Our prospects in politics are encouraging in our
county. If the other counties in the State will in
crease the Americau vote in the same ratio, Geor
gia will give her vote to Fillmore.
Yours, &c., J.
Mississippi, too, is moving onward. Judge Lowe
ry, a distinguished old line Democrat is devoting all
hi* talents and energy to the cause of Fili.more
and Do nelson. And the patriotic Democrats of
:hat State are daily repudiating Buchanan and
Squatter Sovereignty. Here is an instance.
The Brandon (Miss.) Republican publishes the fol
lowing letter. There are hundreds in the State who
will do like the writer, even if they do not make
their intention public :
August 19, 1856.
Editor of the Republican— Dear Sir: I desire
through your paper to announce my determination
of voting next November lor Fillmore and Donel
son. lam just as good a Democrat, and a little bet
ter than I have ever been before, but I cannot cast
my vote for Buchanan and Breckinridge, fori be
lieve they are no more Jackson Democrats than
darkness is light.
Fillmore has made once as good a President a> we
ever had since Washington, and I believe every
Southern man ought to vote for him.
Yours. Ac.. Jesse M. Miller.
From Florida, we have the following gratifying
intelligence:
A gentleman of intelligence, just from Florida, in
forms us that the political excitement in that State
is beginning to run high, and the friends of Mr. Fill
more are confident of carrying the State. Meetings
of the masses are being holden in ail parts of the
State, the ablest men of the party are address
ing the people, and the greatest enthusiasm prevails.
*The old line Whigs, too are falling into line, and
have resolved to be represented in the National
Convention at Baltimore. We copy tlie following
from the Pensacola Gazette :
A Convention of old line Whigs of this State will
he held at Tallahassee on the Bthof September next,
for the purpose of appointing delegates to the Balti
more Convention. It is hoped that there will be a
general attendance from the various parts of the
State.
Last though not least is the subjoined letter to
the Columbia Times :
Clarksville, Texas, Aug. 15,1856.
To the Editor of the Carolina Times. —Dear
S.r : Being a native of South Carolina and feeling
| an interest in the course she will take in the uext
approaching Presidential canvas, together with an
i interest in her general welfare as a State. I am in
j dueed to order your paper.
Our State it decidedly Democratic, and wouid no
doubt support Buchanan, but for the evidences now
visible, which seem to prove that Fremont is iu the
ascendancy North. She will fly to the rescue and
glw her support to Fillmore ag the only means of res-
I cuing the Union from the impending danger of dis
solution, the certain result if the Black Kepublican
! ticket it elected.
Y ours respectfully,
lieported Adjournment of C onsrf!* I *.
I The late storm having disarranged the telegraph
‘ wires we have been without any despatches for the
last three or four days The Nashville papers of
Sunday publish_the following :
Washington—August 30.—Congress adjourned
sine die to-day. The closing debate was unmtereet
ing. except the speech of Houston, who deplored the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise as the cause of
the strife at the North.
This is probably the ease though the action of
Congress on Friday did not seem to promise so
speedy an adjournment.
Kansas Correspondents.—Ely Moore, a gen
tleman formerly well known in New-York, writes
concerning the information published in the aboli
tion papers of New-York city :
The truth is. neither the Times nor Tribune has
any Correspondent in this place. This I know to
be so. The correspondents of those papers live in
the city of New-York, and undoubteoly are at
tached’to those respective offices.’’
Execution in New Jersey.—The execution of
John J. Fox, for the murder of John Henri, near
the town of New Brunswick. N. J., in the month of
December last, took place on the 27ih instant, in
the prison yard of the county jail. The culprit de
nied his guilt to the last, and said that the public had
condemned an innocent man.
1 LJJJgS
The Ktf«itn Hill —>quati«-r
A* iLe framer afulAw is generally regarded, and
very justly >**, tiie bt»i exponent lA ilt meaning aud
objeeti, we propose to place Mr. Douglas again
upon the stand, and let hitn tell ibe people of the
South wual is the true construt-Gon and effect of the
Kansas bill—whether or not it contains any Squat
ter Sovereignty feature.
On the 2d of Juiy last—lßs6—Mr. Trumbull, the
colleague of Mr. Dougt.\s. an open and avowed
Freesoil Democrat, iutroduce<l the following amend
ment to the Kansas bill:
And be Ufa rtkc,enacted, That the provision in
the “ act to "organize the Territories ol Nebraska
aud Kansas," which declares it to be ** liie true in
tent and meaning" **f said act “ not to p-date
slavery into any Territory »»r State, nor to exclude
therefrom, but to leave the people thereof perfectly
free to form and regulate their domestic institu
tions in their own way, subject only t*» the constitu
tion of the United States,” was blended to, and
does confer upon, or leave to, the people of the Ter
ritory of Kansas lull power at ary Kmc, tl. rough its
Territorial Legislature, to exclude slavery from
said Territory, or to recognize and regulate it there
in.”—(App Con. Globe p. 796.)
Mr.TKUMDLLL explained the object of the amend
meat thus :
“I will avow very frankly what my object is. I
know very well that the Kansas-Nebra-ka act is
discussed very differently in different sections of the
country.
“It ha.- a Northern and a Southern look. In the
Northern States it is advocated on the ground that
the peopte of the Territory at any time. thr«u*h
their Territorial Legislature, have a right to exclude
slavery if they please. I understand that a very
different opinion prevails in the South. The Kan
sas Nebraska bill does not confer the power on the
Territorial Legislature to regulate J:e subject of
slavery, but leaves it to the ‘people’ of the Terri
tory. There is where the difficulty arises. The
point is, when are the people to regulate it ? Some
say, when they are sufficiently numerous to form a
State Constitution for themselves they can regulate
the subject of slavery. This is the Southern view.
Others say they can regulate it at all times—as well
while they are a Territory as when they are a
State.
“Now, sir, it was for the purpose of arriving at a
definition of what was intended by that bill, which
is construed differently in parts of the country, that
I offered this proposition, which states distinctly
that the Nebraska bill was intended to confer on tiie
people of the Territory, through their Territorial Le
gislature, the right at any time to exclude slavery
or allow it.”— {App. Con. Globe p. 797.)
Mr. DorcLASSjreplied to Mr. Trumbull as fol
lows :
| The reading of the amendment incline* my
j mind to the belief, that in its legal effect it is pre
| cisety the same with the original ac t and almost
i in the words of that act. Hence I should have no
, hesitancy in voting for it, except that it is putting
jon this bill a matter which does not belong to it. * j
I Perhaps I know fully as well as my colleague j
now that question is discussed in the Northwest. 1 \
j say the construction put upon it has been this : by [
the sixth section of the Kansas-Ncbraska act we con j
ferred on the Territorial Legislature authority to •
legislate on all rightful subjects of legislation, not J
excepting slavery ; then another clause declared it ,
to be the true intent and meaning of the act not to j
legislate slavery into the Territory, or to exclude it j
therefrom; but to leave the people thereof perfectly
tree to form and regulate their domestic institutions :
in their own way, subject only to the Constitution !
of the United Stales; and, therefore, ail power
which it is competent or possible for Congress to
confer on the Territorial Legislature, is conferred
by that act. It is conferred subject to the limita
tions of the Constitution ; but those words do not
alter or affect the meaning of the clause. 1 say,
then, the act does give this power to the Territorial
Legislature, unless the Constitution of the United
i States prohibits it.
Now, I am ready to meet my colleague, if lie
: wants to go on the stump on this question. We
| vote down his proposition because it is improper to
I attach it to this bill. I intend to hold them to their
[ votes. They have now said by their votes that it
| was the true intent and meaning of that act to al
: low the people of a territory to prohibit slavery
1 through their Territorial Legislature. [ hope my
colleague will never deny that hereafter. Every
body on the other side of the Chamber has said by
his vote that it was the true intent ami meaning of
that act to leave the question to the Legislature of
the Territory. They have so voted because they
say it is pertinent to this bill to declare that. Then
I hope that, when they come to argue tiie question
with us before the people, they will not deny that
this was the true intent and meaning of the act.—
They know that we vote against putting it on this
bill, because it is improper to put it here, although
it is just what the act declares. Now we understand
each other, and I hope, therefore, we shall have no
further controversy— (App. Con. Globe p. 797.)
Mr. Trumbull.—My colleague (Mr. Douglas)
suysthat we who vote for this proposition declare,
of course, the true intent and meaning of the act to
lie to confer on the Territorial Legislature the right
to regulate slavery, and he hopes we shall not deny
it before the people. Very well, sir; I hope that if
lie votes against it, lie will not deny on the stump
that lie is opposed to it.
Mr. Douglas.—l will expose that quibble notV.
My colleague said he offered the amendment in good
faith, in order to find out the true intent and mean
ing of the act, and as he voted that way, I took his
word to be true. 1 stated that I voted against his
proposition because, although it expressed the true
idea, it was improperly attached to this bill.— I App.
Cm. Globe p. 798.
If we had voted against it because such was not
the meaning of the act the charge would be true ;
but we declared that the amendment expressed the
true meaning of the act aud we voted against it
because it was improper to he attached to this bill.
—l App. Con. Globe p. 798.
Thus reader, you observe that Mr. Trumbull’s
amendment was the plainest possible declaration
of squatter sovereignty that could be made. To
this Mr. Douglass objected, because, said lie, Mr.
Trumbull’s “amendment, in its legal effect, js
precisely the same with the original act (Kansas-
Nebraska bill) and almost in the worhs of that act,”
and “that it expressed the true meaning of that act}'
Here, then, the doctrine is boldly avowed in clear
and emphatic terms—that the Kansas-Nebraska bill
—in “its legal effect,” and according to “its true
meaning,” contains the odious doctrine ol Squatter
Sovereignty.

The following letter from our old friend, Benj.
Bkantly, will be read with interest by his nume
rous friends in Georgia :
Fort Scott, K. T., Aug. 9th, 1856.
Mr. Editor:—So tarns my knowledge extends,
there has no event occurred iu the territory of any
interest lor the last five or six weeks. Every thing
seems to be etill—all parties awaiting with more or
lees anxiety, the result of the proposition iu Con
gress, to make Kansas a State. Most of our South
ern citizens have been desirous that the bill should
pass—prefering that the question as to the complex
ion of the territory should be at once settled, than
to remain as at present. Most of those with whom
I have been associated have appeared confident
that, we would carry the territory under the provi
sion of the bill; while some others were in doubt,
and some few believing that we would be beaten.
Within the last few days, intelligence has reached
this part of the territory, that Lane has succeeded
in getting 650 armed men into our limits, byway of
lowa and Nebraska, and that he (Lane) had return
ed, with the declaration that another regiment
would soon follow. Os course this news is not plea
sant, and a good deal of anxiety is felt upon the sub
ject of their being permitted to remain m the terri
tory. If they remain, there will be difficulty and
disorder, which must be deprecated by all true
friends of the Union.
Were Kansas admitted into the Union as a slave
State, 1 have no doubt that it would be settled up
speedily, and become an important aud influential
member of the confederacy. Her soil and climate
would invite Southerners, and her growth would be
rapid. It would not be so were it admit ted as a free
State. Nebraska, Minnesota, Utah, &.C., offering
to Freesoilers such vast fields for settlement, that 1
have no doubt it would be a long period before Kan
sas would be peopled. The truth is, so lar as I can
learn, there are very few Freesoilers emigrating to
Kansas at this time for the purpose of finding u home
and bettering their condition in life. Other motives
actuate them. The case is different with Southern
settlers. I venture the opinion, that there are not a
dozen pro-slavery families settled in the territory,
whose leading motive was to control the question of
slavery True, there have some young men from
.the South, come the past spring, who may have been
induced here by motives of this kind, but their
numbers are comparatively few. In all my corres
pondence with Georgia friends, I have been par
ticular to caution thoughtless young men, unaccus
tomed to toil and privations against coming to Kan
sas. Sober, working men, with their families, are
the class 1 would invite here—and to such the pros
pects are as inviting as they possibly can be in any
portion of the country.
Thus far, the season for farmers has teen very
unfavorable in the territory. We have had no rain
to do much good for six or eight weeks, and our
Com crop (which is our main crop) is materially in
jured.
We have heard nothing about the Kansas bill be
fore Congress for a week or two, and all is doubt
and uncertainty. Iu the meantime, the period for
our territorial legislative election is approaching. I
find here, as in other States, there are many aspi
rants for office; and trick aud manoeuvre are the or
der of the day. On Monday next a Convention is
to be held in Fort Scott, to decide the claims of the
various aspirants for legislative honors in this (Bour
bon) county. I have been much amused with the
managing of several expectants. Is it not fortunate
that we have no part in President making?
The Chronicle 4* Sentinel reaches me occasion
ally—sometimes within about twenty days after
date, and sometimes about sixty. However, no
matter how long on the road, it is from Georgia, aud
is always interesting. Two Georgians from Early
county, and a young man from Sonth Carolina call
ed upon us this week, the sight of whom was plea
sant.
Respectfully, Benj Brantly.
I*. S.—l received information yesterday that there
were a large bundle of letters and papers from
Georgia, to my address, in u Post Office some folly
or fifty miles distant, upon Neaslieo river. I have
been disappointed in not receiving many letters, and
suppose they have been addressed as above. My
Post Office address is Fort Scott, Kansas Territory.
Will all correspondents note this 1 B. B.
l*iiig Negro testimony against .Mr. Fillmore*
The Macon Ala., Republican, says: The Mont- J
goinery Advertiser has lately issued a pamphlet of j
sixty-four pages, professing to contain the platforms l
of the several parties in the present Presidential
canvass, together with letters, speeches, records, j
vScc. Amongst other matter it contains the testi
mony of a fugitive slave , to prove that when he |
escaped from his owner, Mr. Fillmore harbored i
him. gave him money, and helped him on his way. :
And this pamphlet is issued from the central organ j
of the Democratic party in Alabama, and unless it !
is repudiated by the democracy of the State, we !
shall take it for granted that they have placed \
themselves upon the same level with a fugitive j
slave, in traducing slandering, aud villi tying the name
and character of Mr. Fillmore, aud that they
have made him, Milton Clark, the fugitive slave,
one of their co-workers in defeating the American
candidate for the Presidency, and in advocating the
cause of Mr. Buchanan. How desperate must be
the fortunes of a party when it can bring itsc-lf to
resort to such base and dispicable means '.
Negro testimony, as much as any thing else, was
what killed Mr. Van Buren in 1840. He had al
lowed it to be used in the trial of a white man be
fore a court martial, and the American people arose
I in the majesty of their strength, and damned to ev
| eriasting infamy both Van Buren and those who
I sustained him. And now the attempt is made by
the democratic party of the present day, to put
1 down Mr. Fillmore by similar means, by a fugi
| live from slavery, whom some despicable agent at
■ the North has hired to swear away the pure and
j unsullied character of a great American patriot,
j Will not the people of Alabama rebuke at the bai
i lot box, this base proceeding of putting on the wit
ness’ stand one of their own slaves, io swearfaway
j the character of a white man! Will not the de
mocracy of Alabama rebuke it! Or will they con
j sent to stand upon the same level with Martin Van
Buren the abolitionist, and Milton Clark the fugi
tive slave !
Volunteers for General Walker. —The New
Orleans Delta of the 27 th announces that Capt. A.
E. Shaw of that city had succeeded in organizing a
company of some eighty men to join the troops at
present under command of General Walker in

few days by a schooner which had been chartered for

HEATH (VF JUDGE JOHN MOORE.
Lied, at his residence in Columbus, Mis*., of
! Pneumonia, on tiie event ug of the 15th inst.. J<odgt
' John Meore, formerly of Lexington, Ga., in the
77th year of his age.
The announcement oi tie death of this venera- j
I ble gentleman, even at iris advanced age, will bring j
' surprise and sorrow to many hearts on*side the eir- [
! cle of his own immediate family and relatives. Few ,
| men who mingled so lorg and so actively in tiie j
j stirring scene* us political strife which marked his j
| day and time, ever passed off from the stage of life 4
I with fewer enemies or more ardent, admiring, or •
■ trust-reposing friends. His connection with politics j
j dates as far back as the first year of the present cen
' tnrv, and began with a firm and energetic support •
j of *Mr. Jefferson’* adniinij-t ration. At the March •
term of the Charlotte Cour:. Virginia, in the year 1
1799, be was present at the celebrated political dis- I
! cossion between Patrick Ileuty aud John Kan- •
i dolph—the last speech of the first and the first speech
j of the last, lit- was then a .-trident at the neighbor
ing college of Hampden Sydney, and ha l gone over J
to the meeting in company with the fucultv aud a i
i large number of his classmates, ad eager and anx- j
ious t«» witness the lasi dLp’.ny of that supernal do- j
to s atori l pa
; triot of the Revolution. That discussion fixed at j
j once the tastes and juridical sentiments of Judge !
Moore. He sided with ti, • y-.auger speaker, ani j
throughout his long after life*he adhered steadfastly j
1 to the cardinal doctrines promulged by Mr. Ran- j
dolph on that occasion; maintaining throughout a
character for independence, candor and stern integ- j
rity rarely equalled in social or political life. !
Judge Moore was born in Prince Edward county,
Virginia, on the 22d day of •September, 1779, md *
was the second sou of Major Joseph Moore, pro- |
prietor of the old tavern so famed throughout the i
revolutionary war, as “Moore’s Ordinary, ’ and for j
many years the sherriff ol that county under the co- !
lonia! government. It was beneath the roof of this ;
humble mansion that our subject first saw the light, j
and his first breath was drawn amidst the storms I
aud trials of the patriot strife. His father, though
no soldier, early embarked on the side of his conn
trymen, and incurred the fiercest displeasure of j
Cornwallis and Tarleton fur Iris active efforts iu fur- i
nishing provisions to the suffering army of Greene, j
Hi home was to him the piece of greatest danger, !
and he was always forced to fiv at the first intelli- |
gence or Taiiuton's rapid incursions, leaving his !
young children to the sole care and protection of ;
their heroic mother. The spirit thus imbibed amidst !
Liberty’s earliest struggle.-, animated Judge Moore
ever afterwards aud was distinguishable in every]
act of Iris public life.
At tiie age of twenty-two he contracted marriage j
with the eldest daughter of the late George Booker, ;
Esq , ol Prince Edward, and in company with his j
widow mother and brothers, removed shortly after j
wards to the State of Georgia. He settled a cot lon j
plantation in Oglethorpe county, but made his per- ]
manent residence in LexhigUm, the then lovely and j
flourishing county site. It was about this time that
were kindled the urej ol that angry partisan feud |
between the friends of William IL Crawford and j
John Clarke, which distracted i'.e State of Georgia \
for well nigh twenty years, which completely isolated
her from national politic.', and which even at this
distant day is still partially discoverable in the com
plexion of her party conflicts. Mr. Crawford was
the fellow townsman and friend of our subject, and
he at once, with the peculiar end wellknown prompt
ness which marked all his actions, took position on
his side. We hazard nothing iu saying that this
great aud "A euerated .'late a;* .i, throughout his long
career of brilliant public service, always regarded
and leaned upon John Mu- as his safest, sincerc-st,
nnd most reliable counsellor.
During the first term of Mr. Madison’s adminis
tration, Judge Moore was named and appointed
Post Master for the town in which he lived. The
office was not then such a.s vicious party practice
now has made it , worth and capacity were sought,
not the mere partisan connection of the applicant.—
This situation he held for upwards of twenty-three
years, although opposing the administrations both
of John Quincy Adams and Gen. Jackson. He had
not even hc-i:.ited to speak boldly lus difference
with some ac:.- «»f the Monroe administration, of
which his Mead Crawford was ;; leading member;
and his opposition found its way and was made
known even within iiio recesses of the cabinet. It
is but justice to his memory tb state here that this
opposition was founded upon what lie believed to
be the unwise hesitation of the government in lend
ing countenance to the censure of General Jackson
by the House id Representatives, (for his conduct
during the Seminole war) where a resolution to that
effect had been introduced by Mr. Cobb, of Geor
gia, the friend and brother-in-law of Judge Moore.—
By him the introduction of that resolution was ad
vised and abetted, although it was known that Mr.
Crawford dissuaded. Afterwards during the hot
period of the Nullification .trite, and when Judge
Moore both on the hustings and in the public prints,
had condemned in no measured terms tne threatened
policy of Gen. Jackson in regard to South Carolina,
a few partisans of the administration menaced re
moval, and sought their object by writing to Wash
ington. lie defied and awaited. Mr. Forsyth and
Judge Wayne, friends of tiie Government, ut once
denounced the attempt audit failed, la less than a
month after this hud transpired. Judge Moore volun
tarily resigned.
It is well known that Mr. Crawford hesitated to
endorse either the doctrines or the proceedings of
the South Carolinians in respect to Nullification.—
Tiie subject of this notice, though partially waiving
the first, actively canvassed aiid wrote to enlist sup
port in favor of the latter. Regarding the tariff act
of 1828 as unconstitutional and inordinately oppres
sive, he took ground for resistance by the side of
Mr. Calhoun, though he did not endorse the peculiar
constitution a views of that statesman. 011 this
question he differed for the first and last time with
William 11. Crawford, but their friendship was not
interrupted. Fur a seat in the convention of 1833,
ordered to determine the action of Georgia, he re
luctantly offered in Oglethorpe against Mr. Craw
ford and was elected. lie v.as too earnest and
bold in his opinions to permit his veneration to in
terfere w'th his sense of propriety and of light.
After a residence of nearly forty years in Geor
gia, Judge Moore removed from the State. He will
be loug remembered there as a man and as a politi
cian. The present generation of statesmen there
were mostly unborn when he first stood by the side of
Crawford to battle for their common principles.—
With the names of this great leader, of Forsyth, of
Berrien and Cobb, and Wayne, Clayton, Lung
street. Wilde, Gilmer and George M. Troup, that of
John Moore will ever lie associated by all who are
familiar with the political history of Georgia, al
though 1 e never (but in a single instance) sought or
held political office. His humble mansion—the
mansion in which Monroe and Jackson and Van
Buren hud all been guests when passing through
his town—was ever their abiding place during tiie
sessions of Oglethorpe court, and the strifes of the
bar were never more earnest or marked by more
ability tl.au tlic.se which sprang up at his table or in
his large sitting room. In all these the host ever
took a decided and prominent part, aud it was here
in these friendly but earnest contests, let us say,
that the minds of such men as Joseph Henry Lump
kin, Robert Toombs aud F. 11. Cone,all since at
taining the highest forensic and political reputa
tions, were first prominently developed. By all
these, the name of John Moore will be ever held in
deej> respect and veneration as that of one of their
earliest and wisest friends.
In the autumn of’36 Judge Moore removed to
Mississippi where lie had previously purchased a
plantation. His planting business occupied chiefly
his remaining years, though lie never failed on im
portant occasions to take his usual and leading part
in political movements, liis interest never abated.
He was the ardent, active and efficient supporter of
Harrison in 18-10, and of Henry Clay in 1841. In
1848 he re-called the energy of iris youth, and labor
ed among the most active to carry the State ior
Gen. Taylor. In 1851, believing that the Compro
mise bills of the previous year should be o*\ti-Vic
tory to the South, be raised his voice against resis
tance and fought his last buttle for acquiescence and
the pacification of the Union. lie supported >cott
in 1>52, though liis weight of years was toogivm to
permit this usual activity, and in liis last polit .cal
conversation, held only a few days previous to lus
death, lie firmly and with a zeal that called to his
eyes the animation of other days, advised his young
and admiring visitors to embark warmly in support
of Millard Fillmore, spi-aking of him of the purest
and safest statesman <»f the day*. Even after the
shades of approaching death had clouded his vigor
ous intellect and amidst the flighty wanderings of
thought that ever mark life’s transit, liis last hold of
earth seemed to rest upon that which had been the
fondest pursuit of life, and his parting words, as
caught at broken intervals by Iris weeping attend
ant, were those which a politician who had been
true always to a course of honest conduct, tru .• to
his political friends and principles, true to his coun
try would be expected to utter at such a moment.
Judge Moore was firmly attached to the doctrines
and religion of Jesus, as illustrated in the Gospels
and taught in his life and sayings ? but justice to the
revered memory of one who never cherished v. hat
he would hesitate to avow, requires that we should
frankly say, as one of his latest a .ufidenthil friends,
that he never sanctioned, however he might respect,
the refined theories and systematic dogmas ot the
prevalent theology—that theology which divides the
various sects of the day. In these opinions, ha\ ing
been throughout Iris long life the friend of true
Christian professors and ministers, he died—calm,
conscious, and resigned.
Few men ever possessed more varied powers of
mind than Judge Moore. In the social circle, in
fireside conversation, he was pleasing and in.-:mo
tive to a pre-eminent degree. With a memory
strong and peculiarly retentive, and reaching back,
in personal observation, to the very earliest da} s of
the Republic, lie never failed to profit those who
sought liis conversat'on witliavh w to inquire a- to
the public events of his day and time. Up to thy
last week of his life, his mind was as clear aud hu
memory as tenacious as either had ever been. He
was as remarkable for his modesty of thought and
demeanor, as for candor and true indencnd« ace ot
haracter ; and his whole life aptly and grace:up*
illustrated the maxim, that an “honest man 1 iie :
noblest work of God.” Peace to his ushec —1.0.i0r .
to his memory.
The Rain.—The Railroads*
The rain which commenced in this city Thursday j
morning last, terminated about sun rise Monday,
during which period it was falling about half the ,
time. Yesterday (Sunday) the storm king seemed i
to have rallied his forces for a grand display, and j
he was indeed most successful. The rain feel j
throughout the entire day and night, sometimes in ]
torrents, with scarcely au intermissiou, accompanied
with such fitful and severe blasts of wind, as seemed J
to shake the very buildings to their foundations.
The consequence has been that this morning all
the railroad trains due failed to arrive in time.— ;
That of the Georgia road, due at 3£, did not arrive
till 7 j A. M.. caused by the washing away of an I
embankment at or near Bel Air. The morning ;
train on the Soutu Carolina road did not arrive till i
2 P. M., in consequence of the damages at Horse j
Creek, four miles below this city. And the train on j
the Waynesboro’ road has not arrived at the time i
we write, 3* P. M We fear the roads have gene
rally sustained great damages.

(Greenville. Aug. 28. i >
Mr. Editor : AU*«v men place iu your et tb
j communicate that which may interest many
| subscribers and the friends of Fuimoic and Avnci .-
j canisui generally. My object is to draw a fait hud
portrait of a discussion which transpired in tins
| place on the 20th inst.
Previous notic*- having been given that B. 11.
Hi!!. Esq., would address the citizens of Merriweth
er county, a free disCnssion was challenged and ac
cepted. The big bugs of Democracy here, after an
ample notice of three weeks, rallied tlieir scattered
i fi»K-k and came to the place of meeting with the
I fond hope of enjoying a glorious triumph. But the
j sequei proved they were doomed to suffer a most
signal demolition. It was expected that the re
! nowned boaster and banterer Col Gartn.ll. would
j be pres- a but from causes unknown to the writer
of this article, he failed to come. Some of his
' friends assign as a reason, the sickness of a child.—
Be this a.s it may, one thing is certain—had he met
; Col. Hill on that occasion, the child would have had
1 a tick father.
Iu his absence, however, the Democracy were I
r* pi\ . :f -ri by the Hon. B. C. Yancey, late of Ala- !
i bama, lat now a citizen of Atlanta, Ga. The dis- !
' enssion was opened by Col. Hill in a speech of more j
! than two hours, and such a speech it has seldom i
I been my good fortune to hear equalled—perhaps
! never surpassed. He commenced by dissecting the
Cincinnati Platform—showing its hideous deformi
ties, its N i ihern aud Southern face, lie charged,
• and defied contradiction, that a portion of the plat
: form had never been published iu papers circulate
I ing South vi Mason and Dixon’s line, aud deraon
f strated to the satisfaction of every unbiased mind
that the Democracy (whilst repudiating squatter
! sovereignty) were not only tinctured with, but have
! been completely baptized in that odious doctrine. —
i The speaker next showed that the Democratic party
was wanting in integrity, and could not be confided
j .11; the 1 Ik very men who built the platform at
; Cincinnati had gone back to Washington and vio
lated it, not once or twice simply, but nineteen
times in one day. lie then analyzed the political
j career of James Buchanan, followed him in his de
j \ ious and serpentine course, showed that he had
j boxed every point oi the compass, and that every
! act of his life and every position which he had ta
: ken, had been antagonistic to the rights of the
Sourii. Col. llill then paid an eloquent but just
tribute to the character of Millard Fillmore. His
! noble advocacy and support of the compromise
measures : his self-sacrificing devotion to the Con
stitution and the Union.
Bui when in conclusion, the Orator came to speak
of the distinctive principles of the American party
rising superior to himselt. He seemed, for a time,
lost amid the grandure andglory of his theme. The
whole audience seemed enraptured, and we venture
the assertion, that not a man in that vast assembly
was unmoved by the fervor of hi.*3 eloquence, the
force of his logic, and the power of his arguments
such au effee I, whilst it is at once a bright eulogy
upon the speaker, constitutes the lrghest tribute to
the cause, for no powers, however great, could pro
duce such an effect in a bad cause. Mr. Yancey
next occupied the stand for three long hours. 11 is
speech was little else than a tirade of abuse against
Know Nortbingißixi. lie fought the Lions Skin
with a courage truly amazing, even the famous
Phillipicsof Little Alie were not characterized by
more acrimony and bitterness, either unable or un
willing to meet the arguments of his adversary. lie
entered into a labored defence of Gen. Bierce and
his administration, which, by the way, had not been
assailed. His studied detraction of Millard Fill
more was us unwarranted as Iris eulogy of Gen.
1 fierce was fullsome, even the terms knave, fool
abolitionist were not too opprobrious with which to
brand the purest patriot and statesman.
Mr. Yancey is a gentleman of undoubted ability,
but his speech have failed to meet the arguments
of his opponent, aud was most singularly in appro
priate to the occasion. When Mr. Yaucy had con
cluded, Col. Hill rose to reply, aud with him rose ;
the enthusiasm of the crowd. He had been speak- \
mg about ten minutes, pouring his well-directed <
volley upon the head of his opponent, causing Mr. ;
Yancey’s witticism to recoil upon Iris own head (
with tcn-l’old power, when it became necessary for
i lie honorable gentleman to leave—it was well that ,
he dul leave—we should have left too. Os course 1 his
circumstance caused an abridgment of Col. Hill’s
reply. He, however, reviewed all the positions j
of the opposition, and answered them triumphantly.
Thus ended a discussion which Democrats would •
fain blot from the calender of the past, but which j
Americans will ever recall with satisfaction and de-- :
light. In conclusion Mr. Editor, let me say that the'
political skies here are bright and brightening ; the j
ides of next November will witness an American ;
triumph in old Merri wether.

Inner I’riMii Central America.
The steamship Granada arrived in New Oilcan
oil the morning of the 27th, having left Aspinwal
the 20th and San Juan the 22d August.
The .sloop of war Saratoga was anchored off As- i
piuwall. and expected to remain there until Novein- i
ber. At present everything is quiet on the Isthmus, i
but serious troubles were anticipated on the first i
September.
It is the intention of the Grenadian Government
to exact the tax of Iwo reals, and lo seize the U. S.
mails until paid. The commanders of the Saratoga
and St. Marys have orders to resist the same, and
prevent the seizure of the mails. 011 the 1 th inst.
the new Governor, a mulatto, who is represented to
be a man of intelligence and ability, and favorable
to foreign residents, but most obnoxious to the ne
gr< population, is to be inaugurated at Panama.
The negroes are determined to resist and have a
Governor of their own choosing. It is said they
number some three thousand, aud are all armed.
From Nicaragua we learn that a body of San Sal
vador and G uatemalau troops were in Leon and the
vicinity, but had no intention of attacking General
Walker until strongly reinforced. They are report
ed to be headed by Cabanas.
Col. Wheeler, the U. S. Minister, had formally re
sumed diplomatic relations with the government
under the Presidency of Gen. Walker.
The Granada left in the harbor of San Juan a
large British fleet, and the steamship Cahawba, with
the passengers from California brought down by the
steamship Sierra Nevada. The Calmwba was
awaiting the arrival of Capt. Scott from Granada.
He had gone thither for the purpose of consumma
ting t he arrangement between Gen. Walker and Mr.
Morgan relative to the Nicaragua route. The Ca
luiwba was to sail for New York immediately on
Capt, Scott’s return.
A company of Walker’s men under Capt. Turley
had deserted and were living by plunder. They
were last heard of in Chontales.
Desideiio Calvo, a wealthy merchant of Maeaya,
and several other natives of Nicaragua, were pub
licly executed by being shot in the Plaza of Ma
say a, for treasonable practices against the Repub
lic.
The schooner Grenada, the pioneer vessel of the
Nicaraguan navy, captured a squadron of Bungoes,
and made Senor Salizar and others prisoners. Sali
zar was subsequently executed. In noticing this
event, El Nicaraguense says :
The capture of Salizar was of but secondary im
portance, when we consider the expose of the plans,
the utter poverty and hopelessness of the rebels, the
amount of information as well as the names of par
ties engaged in the treason, and implicated by their
own signatures to letters now in the possession of
Gen. Walker.
Among the many valuable documents found upon
the person of Salizar was a letter from the Brit ish
Consul at Leon, to Florentine Souci, at San Miguel,
San Salvador. This is another evidence ot the
double dealing of the British agents relative to this
country.
President Walker had revoked the exequatur of
Mr. Manning, the British Consul at Leon for liis
interference in thel internal affairs of the Republic.
Costa Rica is .still in a disturbed state*.
It appears that another revolution has been at
tempted against the Government, but President
Mora succeeded in quelling it, and arrested the
leaders. Five of the officers of the Government
troops who were made prisoners fur their connec
tion with the revolutionary party were banished by
Mora to Peru, but the vessel put iu here where they
were enabled to land.
News from Mexico.
The steamship Texas from Vera Cruz brought
news from that city to the 22d, and from the capital
to the 19th August.
The Comonfort government is ruling Mexico with
a strong hand, and seems determined to paralyze
all opposition and crush defection wherever they
make their appearance. A conspiracy was discov
ered in the city of Mexico, and on the 16th August
six gentlemen were arrested and conveyed to Vera
Cruz where they were forced to take passage by the
Texas to New Orleans.
The names of the banished parties are as follows:
Seuores Don Romulo Diaz de la Vega, Don Miguel
Blanco, Don Manuel Gamboa, Don Juan Suarez
Navarro, the Canouigo Carbenn, and the Padre
Prior of Santo Domingo—six in all.
Senores I). Francisco de P. Cesar and D. Flipe
Robleda, who lmd been apprehended in Orizaba,
for similar reasons, were also compelled to leave the
country by the same steamer.
The news from Sonora indicates that the sooner
Gen. Yanez makes his appearance there the better
f*»r the peace of that frontier State. Gen. Gandara,
■a. Commandante General, has pronounced against
! !:. • acting Governor, Gen. Aguilar, and has let
• iuose a horde of Yake Indians on the country, who
! are laying it waste with fire and sword. D. Luis
j Gandara, brother of the Comaudante General, is
] also in arms against the Government in Ures. The
! towns Hermosillo and Ures are all fa
. vorable to the revolution of tiie Gandaras, and a
large number of the regular troops have joined the
I revolt.
The Governor had been surprised in his bed and
all communication prevented between him and oth
ers, except liis captors. Twenty tliree persons
have been thrown into prison, and many others
were compelled to fly. The town of Alamos lias
refused to sanction this revolt, and has sent an ex
traordinary to tliis city to communicate the intelli
gence to the Government. It appears, however,
that four hundred Yake Indians were on their
march to that place, and might possibly succeed in
converting the people of Alamos to their side.—
The greatest confusion and most serious appre
hensions prevail for the peace and security of the
State.
Seuor Say as, the colonel who has pronounced in
Tamaulipas, is represented as quite alone in his
glory, lie has taken to the hacienda of Santa
Engracia, where he is the terror of the sur
rounding inhabitants, from his foraging excur
sions.
Vidaurri has offered to the people of Zacatecas
arms and money, to defend themselves against the
Indians, if they will join his standard. This appeal
may draw some to his cause, as the people are un
armed, and exposed to the fury of bantis of roving
savages.
The Mexico Extraordinary, of the Pith, has the
following paragraphs : .....

tv of Minatitlan to revolution, and already their acta
are becoming dangerous to the peace of the Terri

Judge Ba j tof St. Louis, was recently ivited to
fit liver au addn .- on the leading political topics
of the day. He complied, afid we have received
i , a copy of his speech. Wo subjoin its concluding
. | paangd:
1 Let us briefly glance at the three Presidential
candidates. As to Mr. Buchanan, the uomiuee of
the Democratic party, he is certainly a man of me
dium fair good talents, and no more. In early youth
being a gentleman of easy circumstances and free
from tin- ardoua requirements of professional labor,
lie wedded the Commonwealth, aud with her endur
ing constancy, has never sought another bride.—
[Laughter J He has served long in high andhonora
i blestations, has enjoyed ample opportunities and ac
quired a considerable fund of experience. And that
is all that can be said of him. When did he ever
take the lead in anything tending to the welfare of
his country ? He is naturally a secondary charac
ter, a man of doubts aud provisos. There is nothing
to be sni i iigaiust his private character, and*! have
no inter: ion of reviling him, but is he the man to
be selected and set up for the greatest place in the
world !
let us compare his opponents. I know little
ot 1- remoat, to whom I was once introduced. I
have no desire to pluck a single leaf from his chap
let , he has earned a reputation as a bold adven
airer, an euterprising discoverer and a scientific
i 11 H political character, his life is a
l i ot paper, and he might well have done
I what Bucbauan Ims done, that is, sink himself com
| U Vs 0 ] Ut ua^er the platform of his party.
I . tiini to Fillmore. [Loud aud repeated
cheering. J I can perhaps scarce speak of Fillmore
wiia due impartiality. I know him. He is my friend.
llv ended me to office after a retirement of twenty
years in private life. 1 cannot but feel kiudly to
wards him, after such au unexpected remembrance.
I will. udeavor to suppress partiality and personal
feeling, and to present his claims as they are open
to popular view, lie is eminently a man of the
people, lie aid not enjoy in bis youth the opportu
nity ot in quiring even the rudiments of a classical
education. Being bound apprentice to a mechanic,
iu> fine talents attracted the notice of an old lawyer,
wlio drew him from.lus mechanical occupation and
gave luna opportunities of entering a professional
caieer. And from that day to the present there is
one tact to be noticed in him, that front every pub
lic employment he has gone out with a high reivputu
tion than he went in with. [Applause.]
He is a man of mild manners, amiable disposition,
and benevolent character, and few men have made
more or more enduring personal friends. As to his
Administration, it will ever remain one of the bright
est spots in tire history of the country. [Loud cheers.l
It ne were as 1 am, au unchanged Whig, [applause,]
none could he found to raise a question of our pre
ference. lam sorry, on some accounts, that helms
joined the American party, though it contains many
other excellent men of unimpeachable character for
private aud public wisdom and virtue. But if 1 were
a young in 'in, about to choose a wife, aud had found
a lady, amiable, sensible, aud iu every way, prefer
ahie. I should not be disposed to reject her from
consideration, merely on account of a slight freckle
on her complexion. [Laughter aud cheers.] Com
pare Fillmore with his opponent.
1 find many Whies disposed to go for Buchanan.
Xow, it is certain, that Judged by the standard of
A big principles, all Fillmore's antecedents are right,
and equally beyond doubt, that by the same stand
ard, all Buchanan's antecedents are wrong. He
was wise to sink himself behind his platform; to
perform that most perfect act on record, of political
soil-abnegation. [Hear the speaker read Buchanan's
speech in acceptance of the nomination.] He says
the platform is “broad and national enough for the
whole Democratic party,'’ not for Whigs. [A laugh.]
Mr. Preston, of Louisville, with the Whig shell yet '
sticking on Lis head, had already got so high up '
among the Democrats as to be one of the committee t
taat waited on Buchanan on that occasion, on
vyhich the nominee said he did not think himself at
liberty to answer any interrogatories lest he should
present some issue outside of the platform. Such 1
was the utter burial of the man in the platform. 1
But the only true way to judge of men is by their
acts, as of a pudding by the eating. Yet Whigs are v
asked to vote for a man who has lost his identity.— ,
I have been mortified to see letters from Whigs, ad- •
vising us to support him because his is the national 1
cause ; and yet his strength is claimed to lie in the
very region of country where the word national is 1
unheard. Another argument calls upon us to go fol
ium in order to prevent a dissolution of the Union, i
Who is going to dissolve the Union ? Certainly ,
not Fremont, if ho is elected. Who ever heard of
a man placed in power who desired to dismember
and destroy the very realm over which that power t
was to he exercised? Who then? Those that ,
vv ould be displeased at his election ? Will any one t
dare to slander the whole South with the imputation 1
ol treason? Any man, who, out of pique and dis- ?
appointment at the constitutional and regular elec- a
tion of an adverse party candidate, should content- S
plate, with serious intentions, the dissolution of the 1
glorious fabric of our Union, would certainly be a i
traitor. And shall we accuse our brethren of the s
South, of tine lialfot the country, of this grievous a
charge.' The (so-called) “Nullifiers' of South Car- ‘1
olinu never intended it. When California was l ]
aboat to be admitted as a free State, conventions
were held in Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, and
elsewhere, I believe, threatening to dissolve the 1
Union in case of her admission with the exclusion „
ol slavery in her Constitution. Well, California :i
was so admitted, and nothing more was heard of it.
And now they try to scare you from your lion- ’*»
cst and well-merited preference for one of your- 1
selves, by threatening that if Fremont is elected
they will dissolve the Union. Such unworthy arti- J
fices should never deter a vote from the support of 7
Fillmore.
Jam sixty three years of age, and have thought 1
the stability ot my country sufficient to guarantee l
its blessings to myself and to my children after me,
[cheers | and can Ibe persuaded that this glorious \
labrie is to be endangered by a mere party triumph j
lor four years ot office ? I have never been either
a Northern or a Southern man, and I will further J
say that there is not an aer eof land in the Mississip- *1
l*i Valley from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico
which properly belongs to either the political North t
or South. (Cheers.] Tins Union is indi visa ble, it f
cannot be divided, and its principle of cohesion is *|
such as will endure unimpaired long after the pre
sent political storms have passed away. [Cheers.] 1
Factions may possibly, in the lapse of ages, through
the frequent repetition of insurrectionary outbreaks d
and seditions, eventually succeed in converting it
into a despotism, but the process must necessarily h
lie slow. No nation ever endured a hundred years 1'
without some intestine tumults, and we have had
our Shay’s iusmrection in Massachusetts, and the 11
Whiskey war in Pennsylvania, and now the evil
passions of men are kindling an unhappy strife on Z
our border; but these are local and temporary dis- «
turbanees, which do not affect the deep-seated foun- 1<
dations of our Union. Far distant be the day of its
downfall, and you, my Whig brethren, stand firm ?
where you have been, abandon not your tried posi- J
lion, aud niter the fiery storm of this election has c
passed, be able to say, “ We call Heaven and Earth
to witness, that if Rome must fall, we at least are 1
innocent.” ,

This is the third Fremont paper in the State of New
York that has gone down within the last ten days
besides one that lias turned to Fillmore. These are
signs that truly indicate the popular drift in the
State and country.
Still thee Come.—One hundred and seventeen
members of the Methodist Churches in Pittsburgh,
who /"ere Republicans, and in tavor of Fremont for
the Presidency, have, since the statement of Aider
man Fulmer, a member of (heir own church, back
ed as it is by other good authority that Fremont is a
Roman Catholic, declared their determination not
to support him.
Great Accession.—The Fremont Club of Plait

ing Saturday night—and after some talk, threw up
its Fremont banner, and burnt it up in the fire—
ai d then marched over in a bod/ to Rook’s Hotel,
where they joined the Fillmore Club.
Fillmore’s vote in Eastern New-York will be
enormous; for such accessions are taking place al
most daily.
011 Tuesday there was an immense gathering of
the friends of Fillmore and Donelson at York, Penn
sylvania. A gentleman who was present informs
us that he never witnessed more enthusiasm on any
similar occasion.
The meeting was addressed by D. 11. McPhail, of
Baltimore, and French S. Evans, of Washington.
The spirit manifested at this meeting guarantee
that Adams county will give a large majority for
Fillmore and Donelson.

Donelson Council were in session on the Ohio river
and its levees on the 27th inst., selecting that place
as the Union river of the West.
There were 50,000 people present, and more were
expected.
A wire was stretched across the river, and on it
was suspended a flag, with the word Union, encom
passed by thirty-one stars.
A steamer, having on board sixteen ladies, start
ed from the Ohio shore, representing the Northern
States, and another from the Kentucky shore, hav
ing on board fifteen ladies, represanting the South
ern States.
The boats are laslied fast, and proceeded up the
river under the Union flag.
The artillery roared a thundering welcome.
The lion of the mighty West is at last shaking

GROCERIES.—The Grocery market continue* quiet
with only a limited business doing. Wo noto no change
iu prices, and would refer to our quotations for tlia cur_
rent rates of the leading articles.
PROVISIONS.—Bacon is in good demand, and prices
aro well sustained, except for Shoulders, which arc low
er. Other descriptions linn. Flour remains as previous
ly quoted. Prices not firm.
GRAIN.—Corn maintains the advance noted last
week for small lots—a large lot would not command our
quotations. There is no speculative feeling. Wheat is
in moderate request at our quotations.
EXCHANGE.—Checks on the North 1 per cent pre
mium.
FREIGHTS.—Tho late heavy rains have given us
quite a high river—a rise of some 15 feet or more, which
is now gradually receding. Freights are unchanged.
CHARLESTON, Sept. I.— Cotton. —Nothing of in
terest lias transpired in the Cotton market since the
date of our last issue. The receipts reach 722 balos, and
the transactions have been limited to some 800 bales, at
the subjoined prices, viz : 3 bales at 9,7 at 9f, 9at 9},
44 at 10, 13 at 10}, 58 at 10}, 18 at 103, 14 at 11, Mint 111,
26 113, 357 atll.j, atß9 bales at 113 c. Among tho fore
going sales >\ ere 10 bales of the now crop, hardly Good
Middling, which brought 118 cents. Prices have been
governed and controlled by the necessities of the con
tracting parties, aud we find it impossible, in tke present
state of tho market, to arrange a list of quotations with
any degree of accuracy. Tho receipts of new Cotton to
date comprise 31 bales. We have no transactions to re
port in Long Cotton.
Rico —Tite transactions show an unsettled and decli
ning market, and when we closed our enquiries prices
wore about an } ceut under tlioso current at the open
ing of tlie week. The sales ranged from 3J to 4} an in
quality, but the bulk ol'the transactions were made at
3J tos4i ¥ hundred.
Corn —The receipts have been very heavy, amounting
as they do to some 37,(XK) bushels North Carolina, Mary
land and Virginia, and only 15 bushels by Railroad.—
The early transactions were made at 90 to 93c, but tho
market closed with the whole amount sold at 61 to 68c.—
Several small lots of Tennessee have changed hands at
70 to 95 cents, sack included, which shows a decline
on the previous transactions. The receipts by our
Rail Roads for the year just ended havo reached 818,000
bushels.
Wheat —About fifty per cent, only of tlie receipts have
been sold, within the margin of $1 20 to 135 for Red, as
iu quality, $1
been 11,520 bushels, aud the exports in the same time
comprise 11,838 bushels. Tho total exports for the year
are 675,317 bushels, against 202,986 bushols during the
previous year.
Flour —There has been an accession to our stock since
the dato of our last report, of some 2900 barrels, by rail
road, and about 1000 barrels from coastwise imrts, viz :
300 from Philadelphia and 700 barrels Baltimore. The
demand has been lhnitod, and very little of this quan
tity has been sold. Some fancy brands in barrels havo
sold &s high as s9tool. The total exports for the year
are 39,026 barrels, against 17,855 barrels for tho prece
ding year.
Hay —We have had no arrivals since the date of our
last report; the market, however, is very largeiy sup
plied at present, and is depressed.
liagging and Rope. —Wo havo no transactions to re
port.
(1 roc cries —We have no transactions to report in any
of the leading articles comprised under this head. Su
gars have materially declined iu the Northern markets,
which of course must ailed prices with us to a greater or
less extent.
Exchanges —Sterling has rather declined since our last
and the outside quotation at tlie close of business was 81.
The rates tor time paper on N. Y. have undergone some
change.
Stocks —-The or.lß transactions of any consequence was
the sale of 100 shares Firemans, which brought par, and
100 do South Caroliuas, which were sold at 625} per
share.
Freights —We have no quotations to offer. There is
very little going forward, and tho rates are altogether
nominal.

ADVERT IS E i\! E N TS,
COD LIVER OIL IN CONSUMPTION.
at H’llE of thr tlie of Oml Liver Oil i«t
JL .-uinption, aav that it prevents one of the* i*i
beautiful cx;»:.q’icax>f the curative opotation of a medical
’* agent ever known, it cures by promoting in the fullest
ir sense, a restorative process iu the sy stein. It acts, iu the
y f first instance by improving the dJge. live and
supplying the necessary ingredients for nutrition, /which
is the basis of health. • Under its use, the chyle, which i-r
<1 the nutritious product of digestion, and taken up from
thealimentary canal by the lactcals, becomes of ahea'tliy
quality, so as readily to be changed into fibrino, aud thus
y not only contributing to the amount of nutriment for the
•u uses of the system, but cuts off the supply of this tin*
n changed albumen, fin'cbid product win u
it reaches the blood, iu the lungs a* tuber
ctrlar matter. The operation, of the oil tfi p nunc ting
d these change, hi veiVjr.’l ’e in a »r<at njea*me to two
principles, one of which 5j untnlivc, and i hd’ot her strict I v
5. medicinal.”
3 I clip tho above iroia she Nb n York" :J,and-;v Time...’
10 of June 29, lor tU«4>urpo*r ot shown -a why V-d V.i cr
11 Oil so often fails in benefiting tin? UualSd, ai.-i v-h .
ought not to bo so regarded, a# it i. by a great 1 ’ •,
y au almost “ specific" in d---eases ofthe lungs, niore'e’-i .
g daily Consumption, for it most assuredly is very lar fr. m
_ being such.
I That thoro is a faulty and very impoverished nutrition,
_ and a want of a good supply ot healthy blood iu <• .n
5 sumptive patients, is true, and fully shown by their re
dacted, weakened, loan, attenuated, and almost hlocdlt- s
appearance. What is tlie cause of this want of good,
6 rich blood, which only can nourish the syptcin l it is
1 that tho chyle (as 1 have shown in my previous a<t
-5 vertisemouts,) of w hich good, rich, and heal thy blood is
0 made, does not and cannot outer into the circulation.
Why# Because of tho condition of tho digestive organs
2 —becau.se, as 1 liavo already shown, in previous adver
tisements, tlie mouths of the little vessels, called lacteal*,
which convoy the chyle into tho circulation, and which
Y open into tho upper bowels, aro closed up, and cannot
1 take up or absorb this chyle. What closes them ? The
“ swollon state of the mucus membrane of the digestive or-
J gaus, which membrane besides lining tho stomach m><{
bowels, also dips into and lines these little vessels ; and
from tlio fact of tlie mouths of these little vess el*, the lac
teals, being so very small, it is very easy to see that there
could not be much swelling of that membrane, without
1 bringing together their sides, and entirely closing them
s up. Wliat produces this swollen state of iho mm n .
s membrane 1 Inflammation ofthe digestive organs, which
is the first cause and the only cause of Consumption.
1 This statement of the cause of Gonsumption, lam tveil
aware, will be pronounced by mail}’ as vevv far from
-b; itig true, but as 1 shall, in sonic of my future advertise
inents, treat upon Consumption, its causes ami cmv l
w'lll in tho present instance remark that there ne\ or was
3 a case of Consumption that had not its origin m inti anted
l digestive organs, and there never was a case of C. a.-minp
3 tiou but that its origin could have been easily trm od 1 •
3 disease of the nutritive organs, for no case of Consi.mp
l tion ever existed without disease of the stomach boitig
• present at the same time.
i Now comes the question : It from tho closed copditi, n
l of the mouths of the lactcals, it Is an impose ibil if v f
them to lake up and absorb tho chyle and honvey it tu
-1 to tho circulation, is it not also an iiupossibillt v for them
I to absorb or take up Cod Liver Oil, or any tiling cl,so i
Most certainly. We do not discuss its remedird ’oroner-
I ties after it enters the circulation, for iu the state of s-
I torn under consideration, it don't get there. , or at any into
j but a limited quantity, and can’t get there, for the vossnta
I through which it has is pass arc closed up.
I 1 may, in stating that all. every one, of those vessels
■ t are closed, say that which is not precisely ttuo, for it
> may be possible, yes, and probable, that tho entire lining
j membrane of the digestive organs is not in so congested
a state as to produce a uniform tumefaction or swelling
of that entire membrane , but that the greater portion is
> in an Infiamed and swollen state, is true, from the fact
I of the patient becoming lean and thin in flesh, which
state can only be brought about by tho closure of tho. .>
I vessels, and the imperfect digestion that is necessarily the
I result of the inflamed condition of the mucus membrane
1 ofthe digestive organs.
From the above it will bo seen, that, no matter la w
1 much remedial virtues Cod LlverOil may po- sess, or how
» (to quote from above) “ Under its use the cl: vie, wl.uh
is the nutritious product of digest ions, and taken up fi. m
the alimentary canal by tlie lactcals, (only it bn’i ) In
comes of a healthy quality”—.-«o long as it does not enn r
the circulation (because ii i.mn. t get through ih.- o'
closed up vessels,) it cannot, of course, bo <*.f any benefit
to tlie patient, for it passes oft'w itli tlio stool.
From the foregoing, it will be perceived that the fir: t
step towards a successful treatment of tho disease, Coe
sumption, is the removal of its causjk, viz: diseasht , •
gc stive organs ; this being done, the powers of the in
tern will Accomplish the balance of flu* work, providing
the lungs be not too far consumed. A remedia! agent
must be employed that will do away with this congested
and swollen condition of the mucus membrane —and this
congested and swollen mucus membrane must bo got rnl
of for two reasons—first, that imperfect digestion, end tho
manufacturing of chyle poor in quality, which is the in
evitable result of a diseased stomach, may be done away
with; aud second, that the closed lacteal may be re
stored to their natural condition, so as to admit tho chyle,
and pass it on into the circulation. This being doue, not.
only will chyle of good healthy quality be manufactured,
but it will have free passage into tho circulation, and bo
made into good, rich blood, which will nourish the ent.ro
system, aud enable its powers, the vie inctac.alrix tint tine ,
to throw off tlie disease.
What remedial agent will do this work ?
