We have Minet ; tnef said- &a>> the Savannaii Re
pvh iti an : - ana it w m thought by our political op
ponenis exceedingly uncharitable—that should it be
come necessary to betray the South in order to save
the Democratic party, there are many men of that
faith who would not hesitate to make the sacrifice.
It is a hard saying. *we grant but history supports
the declaration, while we are in a fairway teiiave
some additional confirmation of it*? truth in the Kan
sas / mlrrcfflto. Toe Democracy of Georgia has de
clared that Walker has violated the Kansas bill
both in letter arid spirit—that he hat* intervened in
the affairs of that Territory and betrayed the South
by seeking to establish an anti-slavery constitution
for the new State—that if the President should sus
tain Walker h- will have in- rayed lb*- principle*
upon which hew* »?*eoted to office hij<l arrayed
hiirno-if oti the'ideof our enemies. Such are tlie
pos-itM«iiF iiWmiaiiO'd by the Democratic party of
(B orgia The deprecated cootingencj has happen
ed - the J , r*-’i«leiit - sins' Gov Walker and de
< tiiat he did right. Now, wind i« tolie done
by the D nocra-fy of Georgia, who allege that by
t . a. < aforesaid the President \m? been guilty of
she u; rtAl offence of treason to the South? Are
i)».-y l*» roine out like freemen and ineu worthy c»f
the name, and denounce and cut loose from the ad
n .dion that has thu deceived tliein and de
livered them over into the bands of their enemies;
*>i \\ to be their dishonored destiny Mtill to hug
the imifor to their bosoms, and like spaniels,
tawn around the feet that has trampled upon them.

Koi a poifbuj of them, at least, an answer to <a»r
iu!errogul«*ry will be found the following article,

* r.i! < Coiis ♦ nti«»n. an*!, o*> doubt, voted for tlud fa
mous ‘third resolution : M
Tor ADM IMS fit ATION AND GOV. WaI.KKR.—
\\ k-arn from our ex* haiigen that the Administra
ti4*i« -iM*aivM fk-\ Walker in hi* position a* Gover
nsroT Kan*a* WvU, it may be asked, what will
tin* Democracy of Georgia do? We answer, they
will speak their real sentiment* on this and every
other subject, which may be presented. Gov. Wei
ker did wrong and exceeded hi* authority—lnt, in
attempting to dictate to the Convention that the
Constitution should h*- submitted to the actual act
tier* of Knti.M*, or, in hi* opinion, it will be, and
* Might to be rejected by Congress—Vd, in .>MiggeeJ
iiig that the climate and geographical position of
Kansas rendered it unfit for slave labor.
I‘hese were subjects with which he had no busi
ne - Hi* duty wa*, not to use his position or in-
Hiience for or agai**st slavery, but to ‘administer’
the laws impartially. We «in not tell to what ex
tent hi*i course has the sanction of the Adminiatra
tioji. But to whatever exVnt it in a v be, just to
that extent the Administration is wrong. Shall we
.-ustaiix the AdmilVi*tration then ? We answer—yes
not in tViiat w'*- believe to be wrong, but in all else.
We will not desert a friend for a single error, but
will try to correct it. Walker ha.- no power of ‘ac
tion' n» the premises; his contrary ‘advice'may
have a contrary elFect from what lie intended. The
President may believe that the affairs of Kansas
might be made worse by the present removal of
Walker. However, these things may be, we shall
await future developments and try to do justice in
plain language.”

A 4-«>aresponderil writing to the New' York u Her
•t/il,' from Snn Juhii ilel Norte, under date of June
21, says:
“I have now to -Lell you the fate of the schooner
(Jraiiada. You will recollect that this gallant little
<ruti was tak» n forcible nosKWHion of by LYut. Mau
ry, of the SL Mary s and delivered over with all the
arms and ammunition on board of her, to the negro
Wilsou, formerly, body servant to one of Walker’s
officers in Leoi, but now a captain in the Costa lii
•an navy. Gen. Canas liad the round shot and arms
fiurreiulenjdtoCapt. J>avis,and th«* broken up brass
4 anon removed in wagons from Kivasto .San Juan
del Sur, and on board the schooner. I lav
ing some misgivings as to the skill of Capt. Wilson,
(Janas engaged a deserter, who knew more about
bar-tending than navigation, and gave him commis
. ion to t ake her round to Kealejo. He had hadly
sailed half a mile out of the harbor when she struck
on a rock and went down in live minutes. Moat, if
not all, of the crew were saved". Capt. Wilson, who
had been temporarily removed to Ometepec, kick
ed off his shoes and danced about with delight on
hearing U>is gratifying intelligence.
*• You have heard ere this, of course, that Marti
nez has l>4*en made President, aud Jerez conunan
tler-in-chief. This, of course, destroys all the con
lidein-i- of th<■ Ijeinocrata iu .Jerez. Don Patricia
Kivas, you arc iso doubt also aware, has escaped to
Salvadoi; but perhaps you have not the immediate
< in • of his stampede. It appears that Gen. Zava
la, when he went to Leon, demanded that the ser
vices of the Gautemalians, and especially his own,
should be properly recognized by the Nicaraguans
Uivne evaded seeing him, aim when Zavala insisted
ou an interview, he was stopped by the sentry, who
would not admit him, on the pretext that, he was
armed. General Zivala drew .his sword, routed
Mu* Kt-ntiy, horse, toot and dragoons, and. forced his
way into tin* presence. Don Patricioltivas, scared
out of his wits, made every imaginable apology,and
promised all t hat, could be desired. He requested
l><-riTiission to retire lorn tew minutes, and improved
ihe occasion by ‘Heaping through a window «»r
back door, ami was making rapid tracks for San
Salvador before Zavala was tired of w’aiting for his
roturn.
“By tin* way, is of opinion that Captain
Davis was acting undei instructions from Commo
dore M ervine, who, a considerable time before the
occurrences connected with the capitulation, openly
expressed his ill-will to Walker, iu Panama, refusing
to forward letters, A s aying, publicly, that “il
was a damned Southern pro slavery movement .”
Mei vim* is a pretty consistent Bhu-k Republican,
however.
“The collector sent down by tlie Nicaraguans, to
eoll»-41 dues on the San Juan river, was sent back
by the Costa Rica is, they having undertaken that,
duty on their own account. Gi*trel &. Carrazo, om
nibus contractors on the transit, have attached the
four steamers, which, thus far, are prevented from
departing by the authorities of this place.
“Kspiiio.-a, who was fined by Walker, Jin Rivas,
and was here purchasing ammunition a few' months
ago, is here, with several others, quite disgusted
with Costa Rica, and determined to wait till the
American* return. You will find irnmthe prisoners
who weie detained iu Chrontales that, strange to
■•ay, they are wishing for Walker’s return in that
region, hlverything porteuds a “general row here,
and the Americans are rapidly getting back into
favor in the midst of it..”
Death of an Old Soi dikk. —The LaGrange
Reporter chronicles the death, in that place, on the

ing is the formal “award of the Committee upon
the question iu controversy bet weed tlie Bouton
Courier qnd Dr. li. F. Gardner,” being the genuine
ness or falsehood of t he so called phenomena of “spir
itualism” :
The Committee award th it I)r. Gardner, having
failed t«* produce before them an agent or medium
who “communicated a word imparted to the spirits
in an adjoining room,” “who read a word iu English
written insitiii a book, or folded sheet of juiper, * who
answered an J question “which the superior intelli
gence must be able to answer. ’ who “tilted a piano
without touching i:.or caused a chair to move a

tee any phenomenon which, under the widest lati
tude of interpretation, could be regarded as equiva
ieut to either of tuese proposed tests, or any phe
no;nem>n w hich required tor its production, or in
any maimer iudicated a force which could technical
•y be denominated Spiritual, or which was hitherto
unknown \o science, or a phenomenon of which the
cause we snot palpable to the Committee, ie. there
fore, i >t entitled to claim from the Boston Courier
the proposed premium of live hundred dollars.
It is 4*eopiuiou of the Committee, derived from
observation, that any with ‘Spintualistic
Circh s. s»o dulled, corrupts the morals aud ilegrades
the intellect. TheJ, therefore, deem it their solemn
duty to warn the community against this contami
nating influence, w hich surely tends to lessen the
truth of man and the purity of women.
The Committee will publish a report of their pro
ceedings, together w ith the results of additional in
vestigations aud other evidence independent of the
special case submitted to them, but bearing upon
the subject of this stupendous delusion.

Alk. Editor Thus ends the great Kansas ques
tion, the role** has been well played, the finale has
been reached, the question has been forever settled,
by the action, not of freesoilers or Black Republi
cans, but by the active agency of Gov. Walker,
with Mr. Bacbanan’cfwriiten letter of instructions in
hi* pocket, and the efficient co operation of the Na
tional Democracy upon the soil, acting almost in in
«tant concert with Gov. Walker. A writer in the
j«st Southern Watchman denominates the Kansas
question as made and ended by the DerntfCTar-y, a
“ collapsed humbug.” Was ever expression more
tit to describe that utter falling in ruins which has
Mi suddenly overtaken this great machine for de
ceiving the Southern public. No paragraph has ap
peared in a period of twenty years so full of signifi
cance as the above piece of mere plain historical in
formation. I mean to the South .
The Kansas Nebraska bill, so fruitful of discus
sion, so full ot portent, so overrun with cunning
words, to mislead the South, so roplete with chance*
for construction, has now performed its office. And
we only desire to disinter its effete remains for the
purpose of passing it in review before a much in
jured, a confiding and abused Southern public. The
very genius of humbug must have presided at the
nuptials between Douglas and Toombs when the
marriage took place that resulted in the birth ol it.
A coalition between an unprincipled but ambitious
Western man and a disaffected Southern Whig,
whose inordinate conceit was not sufficiently grati
lied by allowing him to dictate terms to the old Whig
party, brought it forth. The dramatis per some of
that wedding scene might challenge the best efforts
of the greatest master in historical painting. It is
beyond my reach. The stern resolve for vengeance
which sat astride the countenance of the little Wes
tern giant when in 18-18 and 1852 he failed to con
trol the conventions of his party at Baltimore, and
the no less lofty swagger of the Southern braggart,
when he failed to accomplish a like purpose with his
party friends, in the meantime, cannot be betterex
pressed than in the language of Lord Jeffrey when
revieving the life and character of Jonathan Swift,
the pious Dean of Sc. Patrick's, on his friends (the
W'liigs of England) coming into power and refusing
to treat him to as lofty a posit ion in the management
of affairs as his ambition prompted him to ask, his
Lordrfhip says he ran back to Ireland in a furor of
disgust and attacked his old friends, the Whig party,
with the ferocity of a hireling and the rancor of a
renegade. It w r ould even puzzle the haggard fancy
of Michael Angelo to do it justice.
The bill has performed the office it was originally
designed to fill.
Ist. To permanently divide and distract the Whig
-party.
2d. To cren-te a plausible excuse for Mr. Toombs
and those in his confidence to go over to the De
mocracy upon a new alignment.
3d. To make Mr. Douglas the head of the new
movement. •
That these three points constituted the starting or
motive power in the new' projectimi, whose polar
centre was the presidency, no student, at all versed
in the conduct of public men, will now, or at* least
in a short time, pret end to question. That it was
disappointed, Qr at least postponed for a time, by
tlie selection of Mr. Buchanan, is now a matter
of authentic histoiy. That Mr. Douglas and Mr.
Toombs, though pretending a irarm, only yield, a
fertile support to Mr. Buchanan’s administration, is
beyond controversy, proven by the action of the
late Georgia Democratic Convention, iu its resolu
tion denouncing Gov. Walker. Because the beau
ty of the whole plot is destroyed, if the administra
tion is permitted to spike this Kansas guu, and for
ever silence all of Mr. Douglas’ Southern thunder,
by calmly thrusting asp -ar through this Kansas
wind bag, collapsing its ill-shapen proportions and
exposing the poorly concealed designs of the au
thors in getting it up, as the reproducer of a new
party argument. The guardian genius of our
common country could but have laughed outright
at the rigid features of old Buck when he became
firmly seated in power, aud looked around him on
the subordinate parts which* small politicians were
called to play in getting up this new machine for
manufacturing sectional strife and party capital, as
he calmly rose from his council board to rebuke the
demon of mischief, and taking Walker aside, direct
ed him to poise his crimson steel, rip up its thin gauze
of hypocrisy, and let its starved spirit out at last.
Again, though not intended for the purpose, the
Kansas bill elected Mr. Buchanan, thereby lor the
present seating firmly in power the Union wing, and
throwing overboard the Douglas and Southern
Rights Democracy. How this was done, and the
particular means adopted to bring it about, may
form at a subsequent date the subject of reflections
from your correspondent. What has tlie South
gained by the election of Mr. Buchanan ? Precisely
nothing—nay worse; Mr Buchanan was promised
the South like the promise to Israels hosts of the
laud of Canaan. He had scarcely passed the ordeal
of a count - -his tally sheet had hardly been made up,
when he is preparing to announce that monstrous
proposit ion which his inaugural contained : “That
Congress should see to it, that the resident inhabit
ants of the Territory be secured the right of suffrage;”
thus turning up by a short jerk all our ideas of citi
zenship, State or Territorial rights, and putting the
negro, “ebo shinned and gizzard looted,” on a par
as to suffrage with the white man, for Mr. Buchanan
makes no exception. The Kansas bill has not only
dime this, but uuderthe specious guise of patriotic
devotion to our section of the Union, it has enabled
the crafty ami cunning amongst our public, men to
betray onoe iqore into the hands of the North, our
own beloved section, and to show our weakness and
want of nerve once more. Two years ago, we were
told until ears were split, and lungs exhausted, that
though the American party might be a very good
party, (true it was a little secret and somewhat ob
jeetionable or so,) yet whatever might be its merits,
there was one great, overriding, overmastering
question which absorbed all others, and left al
other points ami creeds subordinate, to-wit: the
Kansas bill. Well, .sir, the Kansas bill, the rickety
bantling of Mr. Douglas, a Northern schemer for
the Presidency, had come ; its course has been ful
ly developed, and what have we made by it ? We
have made a President upon a fraudulent issue,
given one more precedent to the spirit of humbug,
and have been diddled out of all our rights, claims,
or pretence of rights in the Territories. And not.
only that, but it is to be accomplished without the
aid of discussion, or a serious word of dissent, so far
as Uie‘Nat : onal Democracy is concerned. For who
will care in one month, tliat, is, I mean amongst the
Administration Democracy, for the dissenting votes
of the Columbus Times and the Constitutionalist.
Stephens will again have the comfort of his own
skillet, with its crisped meat skins and calcined
bones, to make another quasi Democratic and quasi
individual race upon, while the great body of the
party will wag merrily along, utterly repudiating
the action of the late Convention on the Walker
suggestion—content so long as they or their* can
share a loaf or eat a fish ; and when asked for a
reason for all this, will point you to the paragraph at
the head of this article as an easy answer. The
question is forever settled, Mr. Editor. Cobb, who
is the prince of schemers, and Mr. Buchanan, who is
no' slouch, have put their heads together and have
effectually closed the mouth of the South upon the
question.
Mr. Walker was sent to Kansas, as I am prepared
to demonstrate, from documents in my possession
and facts before the country, to the satisfaction of
any intelligent mind for two distinct purposes: Ist.
To preserve the Democratic party as a national
party, both North and South, by giving the admin
istration the benefit of his scheme of settlement,
based upon and clearly within the ultimate range
made by the Northern (and at last reluctantly as
sented to Southern) construction of the Kansas bill,
and the step in advance of it, made by the Presi
dent in his inaugural address, all of which the coun
try had endorsed.
2nd. To organize as strong a national Democratic
party as possible within the disputed lines, so that
in the event the first experiment upon the public
pulse did! ot answer, the second must of necessity ,
for when our loyal fellow-citizens of the democracy
South should come to find that the settlement had
simply resulted from the doctrine of popular sov
ereignty, and that the new territory was quietly in
the possession of the National Democracy, there
would be a marvelous degree of enthusiasm felt for
the cleverness which begot the scheme, and the
coolness which carried it out. A scheme by which
the party was served and a whole territory’ gained
the National Democracy. The difficulty being got
ten over by a sort of coup d'etat, the bright sun of
Democratic harmony, with resplendent glory will
again arise to overshadow all the land, at least so
think the leaders. May God help the people to see
and act otherwise. I once heard a distinguished
member of Mr. Buchanan’s Cabinet, in a heated
discussion upon a point of principle in a platform of
his party, remark, ** who tke\devil cares fur princi
p’e—one good humbug is worth more in an election
than a dozen of the best principles on earth.''
Now, Mr. Editor, as this article is getting to be
rather long. 1 will close it by venturing the follow
ing predictions, which I desire the country to keep
in mind:
Ist. As was humorously remarked by one of your
speakers, in my hearing, in Milledgeville on the
e\ euing of your convention, “not three moons will
iihve waned before the Democratic party will aban
don the just and high positiou taken by them in
their anti-Walker resolutions.'’
i 2d. Tliat before twenty days there will be either
' in the columns of the Union , or by some other an
thentic or more reliable form of expression, an ex
pose of the plan of the administration for the Kan
>as adjustment, not differing in one material partic.
ular from the substance of Gov. Walker's pro
gramme. Yet, to save the South to the party con
taining a sort of implication that Walker may have,
U» some extent, exceeded his instructions. And
that with this, the great body of the Democratic
party South will be satisfied.
3d. Gov. Walker will not be removed nor will he
be even censured.
ttli. lie Democratic party of Georgia will not
only at it, but most of them (the Times
\ Senfwel and Constitutionalist may not i will
even be grateful to the President for this service.
nth. The pro-slavery party hi Kansas will, by the
bullying of Walker and the Democratic party in
the territory, be compelled to abandon all idea of
saying one word about slavery in their Const itu
lion, this result will be landed to the skies at
the legitimate, peaceful fruits of popular sovereign
ty. and the mastery and patriotic action of the Na
tional Democracy in Kansas.
* tVth- That Mr. Brown, the Democratic candidate
lor Governor, will adopt the anti Walker reeolu
lion, and be supported by both wings of the party
in Georgia That though Mr Brown was a strong
disunion irt In 1350. he n ill not only quietly abide the
direction affairs will take as above, but will con
gratulate the country on the result, as the triumph
of a great popular principle. But stranger than ail
these, we i hall be told for the one hundredth time,
that the Democratic party is the only national party,
who were willing and able to do justice to the
South, and very many of the mere ignorant Demo
crats will believe it. A Voter.

“Sauce for the goose ought to be sauce for the
gander”— Old, proverb.
A resolution of the late Looo-fbco Gubernatorial
Convention is a brilliant specimen of the protean
shapes which modern bastard democracy can as
sume to gull and mislead its devotees. The resolu
tion set.- forth that Gov. Walker's address “in ex
pressing his official opinion tha. Kansas would be
come a State, and in presenting arguments to
support that side of the question, is ft gross depar
ture from the principles of non-intervention and
neutrality which were established by the Kansas
Bill, " and then proceeds to call on Mr. Buchan
an (the high and migh'y convention no where
deigns to cal! him President of the l r nited States —
they are all Honoi able* and Colonels themselves —
but the President is only plain Mister,) to repudiate
Gov. Walker.
Now, it happens, that the prince pet of the Geor.
gia Democracy, Honorable A. 11. Stephens at ting
in his “official” capacity—in his place on the floor
of Congress, “officially ” representing the sentiments
of his party in Georgia, expressed his “official opin
ion” to the very same effect, and used much the
same “arguments” in support of that opinion which
Gov. Walker has. Not many months since, (after
the election of Mister Buchanan, when the expres
sion of such opinions could not damage his cause)
during a debate in the House Mr. Stephens . aid :
“Although he should like to Fee Kansas admitted
into the Union as a slave State, lie thought there
was no such probability. Not ouly the laws of cli
mate and production, but those of population would
prevent it and so of the other Territories.”
Vet the Democrats of Georgia endorse and eulo
gize Mr. Stephens and denounce and repudiate
Gov. Walker for the very s«jne sentiments and ar
guments. They, besides, in accordance with the
settled determination of their leaders to pick a quar
rel with Mr. Buchanan, as an excuse for withdraw
ing from his support, and as plea for some little
treasonable plans of their's, hit the President a lick
over the Governor's back. Saying nothing about
their setting the same seal of approbation on Mr.
Toombs and on Mr. Iverson, (men wide as the poles
assunder, on,the most important questions.) Is not
their approval of Stephens and denunciation ot
Walker, the most beautiful specimen of consistency
ever witnessed since politics became a trade ?
Don’t you think, Mr. Editor, they had better “cast
the beam out of their own eye,” and administer
the seme “ sauce ” to both Stephens and Walker ?

Bowden I institute —Commencement.
Mr. Editor : —Believing you to have a deep and
abiding interest in all matters that tend to the ad
vantage and advancement of the people of the
South, and especially those of your native State,
we request that you publish in your valuable paper
the following notes, taken whilst on a visit to the
village of Bowden, to attend the Commencement
exercises of the Collegiate Institution locat ed there
Being appointed a committee to examine the stu
dents, we first beg leave to submit the following
Report:
The Commencement Sermon was preached on
Sunday the sth, by Prof. Mason, of the LaGrange
Female College, and such a sermon—for profundi
ty of thought, chaste and beautiful language, and
Godly admonition, we have but seldom heard.
Monday, the first day of the Examination, passed
off with good order and correct recitation upon the
part of the students, reflecting the highest credit on
the teachers.
On Tuesday, the students were examined in
Mathematics, (Plane and Descriptive Geometry,)
and, according to our judgment, they acquitted
themselves wtll. There were also, several classes
examined iu the ancient Languages. Some of the
translations, though not strictly literal, were mark
ed by good sense, evidencing that their studies
were directed in the proper channel.
Wednesday was Commencement Day. The Vol
unteer Company, headed by a fine brass band, march
ed in procession to the Church, where a number of
the students delivered their original speeches, among
which were some that would have reflected the
highest credit on older heads. On the whole, we
are free to state that a better Examination we have
never attended. The school is under the supervi
sion of the Rev. C. A McDaniel and J. M. Richard
son, B. S.; gentlemen too well known to need any
praise from us. We would, however, mention that
Prof. Richardson is a thorough military tactician,
and has formed a military volunteer company of
the students composing the school.
Military training we consider of incalculable ad
vantage to young men, and we were astonished to
witness the degree of proficiency attained both in
marching and in the musket and broad sword exer
cises by those who had availed themselves of Prof.
R.’s gratuitous instructions during the last term.
We were informed by the Teachers that J t is their
intention to make it a regular branch of study in
their school. Bowden is ocated near the Alabama
line iu Carrol county, and for salubrity of climate
and purity of water it cannot be surpassed in the
South. There are no pestilential swamps sending
forth their life-destroying malaria—no turbid waters
to engender annoying insects or produce that dread
scourge of our sunny land, fever and ague. Bowden
is also removed from all immoral miasmas. Its citi
zens are plain and primitive in their habits. On
the whole we would say that we have not only been
pleased but edified by the examinations, and that
our beautiful, prosperous and enlightened South
does uot allord a more suitable location or better
advantages to the youth of our country than Bow
den. Respectfully.

Mu. Editor :—ln your paper of the 7tb, I notice
a communication, over the signature of “W,’ from
thufplace, attention of the “proper au
thorities” to the alleged fact, that “letters are occa
sionally received here, through the Poetoffice, that
have been broken open,' 5 and adds that “this occurs
where letters appear bulky, and it is supposed eon
tain valuables.”
There is no charge made against the Postmaster
at this place , in the communication alluded to, nor
in the comments you thought proper to make upon
it. But as the complaint originates here, and the
supposed fraud is said to be occasional, I dewire to
say that this is the first intimation I have ever had
of its occurrence. The mails are delivered from
this office in the same condition that they are e
ceived.
During the three years which I have been Post
master, no complaint has ever before reached me
that I remember. If the evil complained of exists,
and has been perpetrated elsewhere, it has never
met my eye iu passing this office.
If the candor of your correspondent were as lib
eral, as his patriotism is flippant, I apprehend he
would have attributed the real, or apparent mutila
tion of his mail, to other causes than "Pont Office*
Villainy.' 1 Yours, A:e.,

they take of his conduct. It .* a ®tl‘- roore impor
tant fact that two Deniocra’ic !>tate Conventions —
one in Georgia, and one in taken
strong exception to certain expressions m Gov.
Walker's inaugural address. The G -orgia Conven
tion goes concludes its censure by ex
pressing the belief that he willW removed It is
natural enough that this state oT.things should afford
a good deal of malicious pleasure*to Northern Abo
liliouists as well as to Southern Know Nothings.—
They hunt in couples, and have a common political
interest in pulling uowu the*oniy 4 j»arty, wahjide
fends the Constitutfqu at alt point*.
The course which we are quite sure Mr. Buchan
an will taae in dealing wi r h this whole Kansas af
fair, is a very’ plain one, llis path is so clearly
marked out by principle, that a statesman with the
thousandth part of his sagacity could not fail to see
it. That he would wilfully turn aside from what he
knows to be his duty, is a slander on his character,
which we think his worst enemy ip not base enough
to utter. He will not forfeit the high pi ce to which
his past life entitles him in the history of his oouutry,
by an act of treachery to the principles which car
ried him into office." The American people were
never safer than they are at this moment in relying
on the wisdom and integrity of their Chief Magis
trate.
The Georgia resolutions assail Gov. Walker on
two points: I. He advocated the submission of
the Constitution to a direct vote of the people : and
2. He furnished arguments in favor of making
Kansas a free State. On both these points we have
some opinions which we propose to record now and
here.
We do not our Georgia friends to find
fault with the general doctrine that the people of
Kansas have the power to decide the questions of
slavery for themselves by inserting in their Con
stitution whatever provision on that subject they
, think proper. This is a proposition which no man
can deny and call himself a democrat or n friend of
the Constitution and laws. It was the Shibboleth of
the party in the canvass of 185 b, as it had been in
many a contest before that. It was embodied in
the compromise measure of 1850; it was made part
of the Kansas-Nebraska bill itself, it was incorpo
rated in the Cincinnati platform; the candidates of
the party were pledged to it; the speakers and
writers of the party pleaded for it: and it was unani
mously adopted by the masses of the party at the
polls. Besides all this, the Supreme Court have es
tablished it as the law of the laud by demonstrating
{hat the power of deciding upon the subject of slave*
r y dov ifl not exist anywhere else.
Even if we had not these overwhelming authori
ties to baca us—it it were proper to reargue upon
original priucipJ es a question that, has been settled
by Congress, assented to by the people, and sanc
tioned by the solenii? judgment of the highest ju
dicial tribunal in the worid—still we think it would
require but little dialetic sk<H to show the justice
and necessity of it, that no onC could deny it who
lias sense enough to know his right hand from his
left.
Tiie contrary doctrine is the exclusive property
of our northern anti slavery opponents. If Kansas
shall come to Congress and ask for admission with
a Constitut ion made in pursuance of legal
ty, not inconsistent with the fundamental law of the
Union, and approved by her own people, all sound
men will say admit her. The Abolitionists alone
would throw her Constitution back into her face if
its provisions on the subject of slavery did not
please them. They alone would say to her people :
“You have made a Constitution which suits your
own wants and wishes, but we have other views,
and we are your masters. You must disregard
your own opinions and conform wholly to ours.”—
Those who sincerely believe that Congress ought to
speak thus, have no reason for it but the insane ha
tred and prejudice against Southern men, with
which they are saturated from the crown to the
toe.
Will Mr. Buchanan, in any event, take the aboli
tion side of this question ? Will he be found array
ing his power and influence against his own sense
of right and duty, and against justice, reason, the
law and the constitution 7 Would he lend his brow
to the shame with which such an act must blacken
it forever ? Would he “sell Uie mighty space of
his large honors’' for anything tjiat his weak and
impotent enemies have to offer ? No; the Democ
racy of the whole country, North and South, have
been true to him, and he will be true to them.
We repeat that the Constitution of Kansas must
come from the people of Kansas. Other power to
make such an instrument there is noue under
heaven.
But the Georgia Convention without denying the
great principle, seems to think that the Constitu
tion ot Kansas ought not to be submitted to a di
rect vote of the people in their primary capacity.
We admit that this is not in all cases a sine qua
non. It isa fair presumption (if there be no cir
cumstance to lepel it) that a convention of delegates
chosen by the people will act in accordance with
the will of their constituents. When, therefore,
there is no serious dispute upon the Constitution
e ; ther in the convention or among the people, the
power of the delegates alone may put it in opera
tion. But such is not the case in Kansas. The
most violent struggle this country ever saw upon
the most important issue which the Constitution is
to determine, has been going on there for several
years, between parties so evenly balanced, that
both claim the majority, and so hostile to one an
other, that numerous lives have been lost in the
contest. Under these circumstances there can be
no such thing as ascertaining clearly, and without
doubt, the will of the people in any way, except by
their own direct expression of it at the polls. A
constitution not subjected to that test, no matter
what it contains, will never be acknowledged'by its
opponents to be anything but a fraud. A plausible
color might be given to this assertion by the argu
ment that the members of the convention could
have no motive for refusing to submit their work
to their constituents, except a consciousness thut a
majority would condemn it. We confess we should
find some difficulty in answering this. What other
motive could they have ?
We do most devoutly believe that, unless the
Constitution of Kansas be submitted to a direct
vote of the people, the unhappy controversy which
lias heretofore raged in that Territory will be pro
longed for an indefinite time to come. We are
equally well convinced that the willofthe majority,
whether it be for or against slavery, will finally tri
umph, though it may be after years of strife, disas
trous to the best interests of the country, and dan
gerous it may be, to the peace and safety of the
whole Union.
Again: This movement of the territorial authori
ties to form a Constitution, is made, not, in the regu
lar way, in pursuance of an enabling and authoriz
ing act of Congress, but on the mere motion of the
territorial legislature itself. Nay, it has been begun
and carried on in the teeth of a refusal by Congress
to pass such an act. This irregularity is not fatal.
There are other cases in which it was overlooked.
But it can be waived only in consideration of the
fact that the people have expressed t-Teir will in un
mistakable language. If we dispense with the le
gal forms of proceeding, we must have the sub
stance.
We think, for these reasons, that Gov. Walker, in
advocating a submission of the Constitution to a
vote of the people, acted with wisdom and justice,
and folk*wed the only line of policy which promises
to sett le this vexed question eit her rightly or satis
factorily. In this respect, at least, lie has done
nothing worthy of death or bonds.
But who are the people ? What shall be the
qualifications of a voter on the Constitution when
it comes to be submitted 1 We answer that this is
for the Convention to settle. Those who think that
the Convention might declare the Constitution in
full force by virtue of their own will, can hardly
deny that they might, append to it a condition re
quiring it to be first approved by the people. If
they can do this they can also say what classes of
persons shall be counted as being part of the peo
pie. The Convention that formed the Federal
Constitution exercised this power when thev refer
red to their constituents, (the States,) and prescribed
that their approbation should be given or withheld'
by State Constitutions. The Constitution of Vir
ginia was submitted to the votes of men enfran
chised by the Convention for the first time. Os
course the Kansas Convention will see that every
proper guard is thrown around the legal voter, and
t hat his bona fide intention to remain in the Terri
tory is tested by a previous residence of sufficient
length. We should say that re
quired to make a legal voter under the Constitut on
ought to entitle an inhabitant to vote upon it—for
or against i ts adoption.
But t here is another accusation against to the Go
vernor of Kansas. He has argued the free State
side of the question. We quote all that part of the
inaugural on which this charge is baseo. Here it is:
“And let me ask you, what possible good has
been accomplished by agitating, in Cotigress and in
Presidential conUicts, the slavery question ! Has it
emancipated a single slave or improved their con
dition ? Has it made a single State‘•free where
slavery otherwise would have existed ? Has it ac
celerated the disappearance of slavery from the
more northern of the slaveholding States, or accom
plished any practical good whatever ' No, my
fellow-citizens, nothing but unmitigated evil lias al
ready ensued, with disasters still more fearful im
pending for the future, as a consequence of tnis agi
tation. 7 *
“There is a law more powerful than the legisla
tion of man —mofe potent than passion or prejudice
—that must ultimately determine the*- location of
slavery in this country ; it is the isothermal line;
it is the law of the thermometer, of latitude or alti
tude, regulating climate labor and productions, and
as a consequence, profit and loss. Thus, even upon
the mountain heights of tlie tropics slavery can no
more exist than in northern latitude, because it is
unprofitable, being unsuited to the constitution of
that sable race transplanted here from the equato
rial heats of Africa. Why is it that in the Union
slavery recedes from the North and progresses
South ? Is it this same great climatic law now
operating for or against slavery in Kansas ? If, on
the elevated plains of Kansas, stretching to the
base of our American Alps—the Rocky mountains
—and including their eastern crest crowned with
perpetual snow, from which sweep over her open
prairies those chillingblrfsts. reducing the average
range of the thermometer here to a temperature
nearly as low as that of New England, should ren
der slavery unprofitable here, because unsuited to
the tropical constitution of the negro race, the law
above referred to must ultimately determine that
question here, and can no more be controlled by the
legislation of man any other moral or. physical
law of the Almighty. Especially must this law ope
rate with irresistible force in this country! where the
number of slaves is limited, and cannot be increas
ed by importation, where many millions yfacres of
sugar ana cotton lauds are. still uncultivated.' and,
from the ever augmenting demand, exceeding the
supply, the price of those great staples has nearly
doubled, demanding vastly more slave labor for
their production. |
“If, from the operation of these causes, slavery
should not exist here, I trust, it by no means fol
lows that Kansas should become a State controlled
by the treason and fauaticism of abolition. She has
in any event, certain constitutional duties to per
form to her sister State, and especially to her imme
diate neighbor—the slaveholding State of Missouri.
Through that great State, by rivers and railroads,
must flow to a great extent our trade and inter
course, our imports and exports. Our entire east
ern front is upon her border; from} Missouri come a
great number of her citizens; even the farms of the
two States are cut by the line ot State boundary,
part in Kansas, part in Missouri , her citizens meet
us iu daily intercourse; and that Kansas should be
come hostile to Missouri, an asylum for her fugitive ;
slaves, or a propagandist of abolition treason, would
be alike in expedient and unjust, and fatal to the
continuance of the American Union. In any event
then. I trust that the Constitution of Kansas will
i-oilLa n such clauses as will forever secure to the
•State ot Missouri the faithful performance of all
constitutional guarantees, not only by federal, but
by State authority, and the supremacy within our
limits of the authority of the Supreme Court of the
United States on all constitutional questions be
firmly established.’’
When we take these paragraphs and compress
the meaning of them into short sentences, they
amount to this : —The questio nos slavery has always
b*eu, and always will be, settled by certain laws of
Nature, which are above all human legislation. If
those laws of Nature shall so operate upon Kansas
as to make her a free State, all legislation in the
other direction will be vain. This was r rather ex
pressing a truism than argument.—
The propriety, however, and thfieliness of uttering
such a truism then&nd:there,ve subjects on which
we affirm nothing and deny, nothing. W e are too
far away, and know tots. little of the circumstances
with which he was .'Urrofinded. to be a competent
judge of his c-onauct in a matter so nice as this.
But there are certain consideration, which will in
sure Gov. Walker a just if not a hind judgment
from every fair-minded man. especially in the South.
A Southern man himself, he has been a consistent
champion of Southern rights. The extremest men
of that section pressed him upon Mr Bud an&n for
the highest place in his cabinet. He is, besides, an
able, far seeing, and sagacious statesman, as little
likely as any other in the country to impall himself
on a point of mere prudences. This alone might
raise a presumption that he neither did harm nor
intended any to southern interests. But when we
see, in addition to this, that he is actively co-opera
ting with the Democratic party iu Kansas, inclu
ding all the pro-slavery men in the Territory; we
find his whole course sustained by the pro-slavery
presses there, when we hear no complaint whatever
from the quarter whence complaint ought to come,
if there were any cause for it. we are constrained to
think that the Georgia and Mississippi Democracy
liAVfa pronounced their judgment rather hastily.
Gov. v\ aiker in a Southern .unit he been §tnl
out by c.rr administration pledged to the defence of
Southern rights ; he is sfirivurded by a corps of of
most of them from the South, and all of them
sound national men ; lie was instructed to regard
the territorial authorities a<« legal, and sustain them
against the rebellion of ihe Topeka Abolitionists :
e is acting in concert with the friends of the South,
and gallantly fighting their enemies. We cannot
tip out think that such a man, so sent, so insfcruc

the mutiny in the Indian army.
G Granville, in reply to tiie former, and Mr ,1
Smith m reply to the latter, stated that the
would be met with decisive measures, and tl.ht a!
though there was good reason for supposing that the
mutineers would speedily be put down by the force
on thespot, still it had been determined to send out
reinforcements to the extent of I l.noo men forth
with, as a mere measure of security. It was ad
mitted that the published accounts of the revolt
were substantially correct, and that the principal
incentive was an impression that there was to be
an attempt at a general cCuversioiqto the Christian*
religion.
In the Commons Mr. H. Birdly asked leave to
bring in a bill to cause the votes of parliament ary
electors to be taken by the ballot.
A debate ensued upon this, in which the Chancel

The motion was finally rejected by 180 to 257.

The quarterley revenue returns show a deficiency

The Paris correspondent of the Times says that
the Italians, whose arrests were noticed by the last

nevertheless quite true that the French Government
has entered into a contract, with a Marseilles house,
fora supply of 10,000 Africans for Guadalupe and

France at the request of England is to send out
fourteen transports with troops to China. This will
be done at the request of England in order t o pre
vent the withdrawing of British troops from India
for the China war, as was first contemplated—the
startling news of the mutiny among the native
troops of the former country having made their
presence there more than ever necessary. Later
accounts state that a reinforcement of 11,000 troops
are to be sent immediately to India.
Spain. —The Madrid correspondent of the London
Times says that Senor Lalrague, the Mexican En
voy, had handed to Senor*Pedal a sort of ultimatum
for the settlement of the pending dispute, and that
the latter had promised to send a counter memorau
dum, on the nature of which would depend much of
Senor Lafragua’s further stay in Madrid.
The same correspondent also gives a rumor that
letters of marque had already been sent from Mexi

given their adhesion to the compromise on the ques

Ix>rd Clarendon, which is, therefore, now opposed
by France alone.
India. —The India overland mail had arrived at
London with voluminous accounts confirmatory of
the telegraphic announcement of the mutiny in the
Indian army. The details are somewhat less alarm
ing than the bare telegraphic accounts of the move
ments, which would be confined to Delhi. Troops
were marching from every side against the town
mutineers in the pungant, and every precaution had
been taken to trample out the first spark of treason.
Meerut and Delhi were placed under martial law,
and the native princes were sending contingents to
the British forces and to Meerut. The native
troops had murdered every officer on whom they
could lay their hands at Delhi. It was supposed
that Mr. Fraser, the Commissioner, had fallen, with
many men, women and children. The mutiny had
not affected the troops at other stations.
The London Commercial Daily List had learned
that a report was current in well informed quarters
that Government was in possession of news from
India that tranquility had been restored.
China. —The dates from Canton River are to the
Bth of May. Several attempts had been made to
blowup the ships there, one of which was nearly
successful. No military operations could be under
taken before October, owing to the heat of the
weather.
The Singapore correspondent of the London
Times says “ we have a little dispute here between
the English and American authorities. On the 25th
of February last, the American ship CVeeurde Leon,
Capt. Tucker, bound to China, fell in with the
Dutch ship Henriette Maria. Capt. Tucker board
ed her, and found that she was navigated by a Chi
nese crew only. Their story was, that they had
risen against the Dutchmen and compelled the Cap
tain to run over to Cochin China, where they nl
lowed him and his officers to take their boats, and
they were then trying to make their way to China.
Capt. Tucker took possession of the Henriette
Maria after considerable difficulty, and brought her
to Singapore. The authorities nere sent over to
Batavia to give notice of the circumstances. The
Yankee hoisted the American flag on board the lien
riette Maria, and the Singapore authorities sent, over
an armed forced and hauled it down. A Dutch ves
sel of war now arrived and took away the ship, and
the Batavia authorities say that any claim for sal
vage can be duly decided by the Courts of Batavia.
Capt. Tucker then put the matter into the Lands of
the Consul, and the American sloop-of-war Ports
mouth, went ostensibly to see about it, but, as I be
lieve, to take in the ratification of the American
treaty with Siam.
The dates from Foo-Choo are to the 30th of April,
and mention the near approach of the rebels, caus

operation in teas could be carried on for the next,
season.
At llong Kong, business was very quiet, and
freights unaltered.
Mg. Brown. —The Democracy, in their eager
ness to make somebody of Mr. Jos. E. Brown, seem
to have turned loose their pens at random, little car
ing what sort, of testimony they should indite, so that
nothing disparaging was said of their candidate.
The Morning News had a long sketch of Mr. Brown,
winch the Atlanta Intelligencer, another Demo
cratic paper characterised as “a complete hoax,’
and denounced as “ a slander.” In fact, while pre
tending to know every thing about their candidate,
the extraordinary conflict about facts, among the
Demdcracy, shows that they know nothing, and arc
determined to gull the people by fancy sketches,
adapted to the peculiar taste and prejudices ot each
latitude. As a sample of these extraordinary dis
crepancies, we give the following paragraphs, taken
from two Democratic papers issued in the same
place :
“ Judge Brown is a young man, probably not
more than 35 years of age, a native of Pickens dis
trict, South Carolina. He emigrated to this State
some 15 years since, a poor.boy in search of his for
tune.”— At. Intel., 211/4 nit.
“ Yes, reader, our mountain boy, that was, is no
other than Joseph E. Brown, the Democratic nomi
nee for Governor ! —no boy, as has been said of 33
years, but a man of 40 years ; no recently imported
Carolinian as has been sneeringly remarked, but a
resident of Georgia for 30 years.”— Daily Examiner,
20///. vlt.
W7* simply add, that as these gentlemen differ so
widely upon a simple matter of fact in regard to
to their candidate, and upon which either of them
could readily inform himself, how can they expect
the people to believe any portion of their testimony.
— Sav. Rep.
A Fancy Sketch.— We have seen nothing in
many a day that so forcibly reminded us of the
story of the schoolboy who was accustomed to
whistle as he was passing the graveyard, as the
fol owing, from the Augusta Constitutionalist of
yesterday:
“There is no possible chance to kindle anew the
old feud between Southern Rights Democrats and
Union Democrats of 1850, upon the resolution of the
Convention relating to Gov. Walker, or upon the
nomination of Judge Brown. The two wings of the
party, into which, it was divided, in 1850, are now
cordially and firmly united; and in view of their
past divisions and present and future union, the
nomination of no man in the State would have been
more opportune and appropriate than that of Judge
Brown. - '
Can it be possible that our cotemporary is so in
sensible to what Is daily transpiring around him as
to believe what he has written ! Why, so far from
the Southern Rights and Union wings of his party
being “firmly united,” there is not a street corner
of a town in Georgia, that does not furnish daily a
Hat contradiction to the assumption—for assump
tion alone we feel bound to regard it. We have of
ten, of late, heard Southern Rights Democrats de
clare that they would give their votes for Governor
to no man of the Cobb wing of the party; and they
have assured us that iu preference to such an one,
they would vot" for any resectable man the Ameri
can party might nominate. The party from one
end of the State to the other, is now engaged in a
fierce and bitter wrangle over the third resolution
of the late Convention, and we defy our cotempora
ry to name a paper in the State, attached to the iu
teiest of Cobb or Lumpkin, who has given it any
countenance whatever. Let Brown but endorse the
sentiment that the removal of Walker is a test of
the fidelity of the administration to the principles
upon which it was elected—as alleged by the late
Convention—and the Constitutionalist will very
soon find out whether the union of its party is
either cordial or indissoluble.— Sav. Rep.
A Merited Rebuke. —The fourth of July speech
of “ Rev.” Mr. Alger in Boston meets with merited
censure for its narrow spirit and bad taste, even
among the “ Republican” newspapers. The most
pointed expression of disapprobation, however,
comes from an official source. The Board of Alder
men of the city refused the author the usual vote
of thanks for its delivery and refused to print the ill
mannered effusion. One of the objectionable pas
sages of the speech is t he following reference to the
part taken by Senator Mason of Virginia in the re
eert inauguration of the statue of Warren:
“ When we are lifting our marble martyr to his
rich niche on Bunker Hiii, the slaveholder who
forced the fugitive elave bill down our throats is in
t reduced with complimentary flunkey ism, in the
very shadow of the awful place, and we listened to
his haughty-toned common places with respectful pa
lienee.”
This remark called out a sharp volley of josses,
and was also greeted with applause.
A Glimpse at the Cherokee Dem<x rac y.—
The Rome Courier draws the following interesting
portrait of the Cherokee Democracy,-under the re
cent order of events. We commend it specially to
our friend of the Constitutionalism who stoutly main
tains that his party were “never more thoroughly
united and hsrmunioua — Sav. Rep.
“ Southern Rights Democrats exulting over the
falling fortunes of Cobb, Toombs Now in

peeping out of the northwest corner into the public
crib, twinkling like mica in the sunshine, on the side
of a mountain, or a young Jaok-with-the-lantero,

“ The old line Union Democrats, hereabouts, oc
cupy a very different position. They look demur,

they had J net had their houses burned up, or stsirnped

The Crops. —Our late visit to portions of Macon
county afforded an opportunity of seeing many
plantations on which corn and cotton ha<t been
planted, and we regret to say that these c-rops were
leas forward than they usually are the last of May.
A few of the Cotton fields which we saw, it is be
lieved, will hardly yield a b ale in less than four or
five acres; indeed, it locks like useless labor tv
•work them. We heard that the crops were no bet :

Tuskegee the prospect was somewhat better, as we
were informed ; but nowhere full crops Were ex

copper and other valuable minerals.
St. Louis, July 7. —A letter to the Republican
says that the Democratic convention at Lecempton
is composed of a jnajorify of pro-slavery men, but
on the whole the Democratic party support the
views in Gov. Walker's inaugural address, and ap
prove the 6ubm'ssiou of the constitution to the peo
ple. Resolutions were passed excluding all sec
tional distinctions, adopting the Cincinnati platform,
and assuming the name of the national democracy
of Kansas, embracing Democrats from the North
and South.
Later advices from Leavenworth state that Gen.
Harney discredited the reported battle between the
Indians and the U. S. troops.

medical profession up to the period of his lest illness, ft
would be difficult to compress in a short notice like this,
the commingled cays of his characteristic* and virtues as
a man a citizen, a husband and fa.her. Warm and
generous in his temperament and social in* his bearing
many were attached to him by thet es of friendship, and
nene knew him but to respect and admire him. But it

with peculiar lustre. His eminent abilities called nis
services into requisition far and near, and his kind and
gentle solicitude for his patients added much to his skill

Weakly Report Tuesday, F. M.
COTTON.—The sales of the week are 1000 bales at
extreme prices—four times.that quantity could have been
sold if offered. The advices from Europe seem to ren
der a farther advance as certain as any event in the fu
ture can be —the combination of circumstauces to en
hance the value of Cotton is such as have hardly ever, if
ever, been seen before. Such as reduced and insufficient
stocks the world over, good state of trade, decreasing
value of money, the worst prospect for the growing crop
eyer known, and the best prospects for the grain crop in
Europe. Holders here are wait ing the issue of the con
test between the Importers aud Manufacturers iu En
gland, with full confidence that prices will be higher
We continue last week's quotations, with the remark
that almost all the Cotton m the market is held for prices

GROCERIES.—The business of the week has been
very limited and confined to small transactions. Wo
note no change in the leafing articles. N. E. Rum and
N. O. Whiskey have advanced—also Feathers.
PROVISIONS. —The demand for Bacon continues
good and prices steady, without change. Flour is in
moderate demuud aud prices barely sustained. The im
pression is general that prices will rule lower.
GRAlN.—There is nothing doing in Corn except at
retail—a large lot would not command our quotations.—
Wheat lias undergone no change.
EXCHANGE —The Banks have reduced the rate of
Northern Exchange to J per cent, premium.
FREIGHTS.—The River, though quite low, is navi
gable for light draught boats. Freights have undergone
no change. To Savannah, by River, 30 cents per bale

CHARLESTON, July 13. — Cotton. —The transac

of 1250 bales, and were confined, as wifi be seen, princi
pally to '.e lower grades, at abont former prices. The
sales r be classed as follows, vi/.: —7 bales at 9}; II

Extracts of f.ctti r* received by the Arabia.
LIVERPOOL, Juut*. 6. —The reduction in the rate of
discount adopted week has given more firmness to
business, but at this season of the year we cannot, look
for much ac tivity, unless it were caused by speculate n,
for such a purpose the value of money is not sufti
cicntly moderate. We have had a vc-.y fair cotton mar
ket, the demand has not <been very extensive, but it has
been met with sufticieht reserve by the holders to raise
our quotations 1 -Kid per lb on American cotton, thus
placing middling Orleans at the high price oftid., a price
which has been unknown since the year 1839. At that
time it advanced to BJd on the 1 Oth April, and then de
clined rapidly and c ontinuously until it fell to 6d at the
end of the y ear.
The present position of the market is, however, diffe
rent from what it was then. The import has been very
light this week, and our stoc s show, therefore, a sensi
Die diminution. Brazil has been in good demand at au
advance of Id. <U»‘ lb.; Egyptians have advanced
about as much. Surats continue to be in extensive re
quest and are dearer. We quote Orleans Fair B ld., mid
dling Bd. ; Mobile fair middling 715 Hid.; Uplands
fair 8 5 Hid., middling 7*d , ordinary to good ordinary of
all grades (id. «/7;id. Skies to-day 8,000 bales—specula
tion and exports 2,000 bales. The market is very firm.

LIVERPOOL, June 26. —The greater animation ami
more confident tone reported in our last report as the re
sult of a cheaper Money market has further grown upon
us during the present week; and the same consideration
has had a similar effect upon trade in Manchester, where
a considerable amount of business lias been transacted
during the past fortnight, at advanced rates. The de
mand here has on each day been pretty largo, and an
advance in prices during the week of from 1-ldd to id ■p'
Hi. upon the general saleable qualities of American; but
at full rates there has been an ample selection of Cotton
offering for sale. We now quote Middling Uplands 7Jd;
Mobile 7 15-Hid ; Orleans Bd. The Committee of Bro
kers place Fair Uplands 8 3-ltid; Mobile Bj|d; and Or
leans B id. Brazil and Egyptian Cotton have been in
large demaud, and prices for these descriptions may lie
quoted id. to id. lb. higher. Surats in good demand
at full rates. 3700 American, 1200 Pernam, 550 Bahia,
GOO Egyptian, and 1620 Surat are reported to have been
taken on speculation ; 4860 American, 750 Pcrman, Hit)
Bahia, 1680 Surat, and 50 Bengal, for export; so that
the deliveries to the trade for the week have been about
45,440 bales. Sales to day 8000 bales, 2000 being on
speculation and for export, including 1500 Brazils, of
which 1000 are for export. Sales of the week 60,000
bales.
LIVERPOOL, June 2G. — Cotton —The increased in
quiry which set in at the close of last week has con
tinued throughout the present, and ail descriptions have
been in good demand, the market daily exhibiting a har
dening tendency. In the common qualities of Ameri
can, which had previously been much depressed, an ad
vauceof id. lb. has been obtained, while in tlie mill
dllng and better kinds it has not exceeded id. lb.—
Brazil and Egyptian are i to id. I* lb. dearer, whilst
Surat has commanded fully previous rates. Speculators
have taken 3700 American, 1200 Pernam, 550 Bahia, GOO
Egyptain and LG2O Surat, and there are reported for ex
port, 4860 American, 160 Bahia, 750 Pernambuco, 1680
Surat and 50 Bengal. There has been a steady demand
to-day, the sales being estimated at 3000 bales, of which
21.00 are for export,

fl’O DYSPEPTIC S.—B»ysthe “ Spirit of the Age: - '
1 It is not ail insignificant fact—rather an important
one—and indicative of the long promised “good time
coming,” that we have, with unceasing frequency, adtli
tions from the ranks of regularly educated physicians to
the number of those who have humanely come forwai d
and interposed between the Patent Medicine Quacks
and their innumerable dupes throughout the country.
The evils which have resulted from the success of a fe\v
persons in this line, is, we believe, incalculable. Hosts
ol venal imitators groveling pauderers to their owa
base passions, avarice, and a prurient ambition, have
sprung up on every side and flooded the country with
toiil decoctions, disguised by tbeir inodorousness an<i
bad taste, proclaiming them universal Pnnftceas for a l
diseases.
This subject has not hitherto failed to attract the at
teution of philanthropists, and if it did not receive that
attention which it so evidently demauded, it was be
cause no available means tor its suppression presented
themselves. A remedy is, however, now being applied
to the evil, which will not only abate it, but, finally, and
we hope, ere long, exterminate it.
Regular medical practitioners are now placing theic
best prescriptions in a popular form before the public—
thus after, ur tho advantages of their skill aud sciencn
without the usual consulting fee in those disorders of as
certained characters, and which may be troated on
known principles. We hope tint accessions to the uuiu
her of those physicians who prefer to seek the sick and
heal them rather than repose in dignified retirement oi
the profession, waiting a “call,” will increase until the
whole race of humbugs are. extinct, aud people be as
sured that a popular medicine is really worth the wrap
per that enve.lopes it—a rather uncertain matter with
some of the nostrums that are now atioat.
We were led into these remarks by a conversation
which we just have had with a geutleman—a friend,
who for years had been a sufferer from Dyspepsia. We
knew him once, cheerful, robust and healthy—and
again, from the effects of this health destroying disorder
emaciated, crabbed and miserable. Whilst untieing’,
agreeably, a great cliang# wrought within a few w eeks
in his appearance and manner, he, as if divining our
thoughts, asked if we did not think ho was improving
and proceeded to tell us of the wonderful propei ties ami
great value as a remedy, of “BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC
REMEDY.” Bliss Humbug t cried we. But a letter
trom a lady in New-York .recommended our friend t»>
try, as he expressed it, this Blissful remedy, and his se
riousness in attesting his restoration to health beimr
owing to its use, our doubts vanished, and we determined
to give our readers tho advantage of our friend's expe
rience In a short paragraph. i Should this meet the eve
otDr. Bliss, No. 20, Beekuian-street, New York whom
we don’t know from Adam, he will accept our thanks, as
the medium of restoring to us a friend, estranged by dis
ease, iu the health and cheerfulness of disposition iu
which we formerly knew him.
As we have not noticed in any of our exchanges men
tion of this remedy, we would say to Dr. 8., place your
remedy within the reach of all—advertise—let your light,
ffiine, even though it might not bo reflected in tho
'Spirit of the Age.'’
