Fattening Anim&li.
As tho cold uighls aud mornings begin to come up
on us, it reminds us of ” fattening time,” and it be
hooves us to look well to tho kind and quality of food
thut wo iutend to turn into flesh and fat, aud to the
disjiositions and natures of tho auimals that wo intend
to fatten. It is well knowu that oil, starch and sugar,
are three of tho most important ingredients in fatten
ing animals, and as these uro not often combined in
one substance, the judicious cultivator will ho mauage
that they shall compose the food for fattening his ani
mals. As coru contains more oil limit any other grain,
and is as easily obtained, of course this will compose
the oil part of tho feed. Now for the starch. Tho
furiuaccous vegetables contain tho starch, such ns ilio
potato, currot, beet, &e., and tho lucernes, such as
peas, contain both starch aud sugar. The next ques
tion is how shall these bo fed to hogs or cattle, in their
raw stato, or cooked ? A pen of thirty hogs may bo
fattened on the sumo amount of cooked food, that it
takes to fatten twenty, raw '. Cooked food for hogs,
that bus slightly soured, will futteu moro expeditious
ly than perfectly sweet food. A steer will tako on fut
in less time, aud with a third less food, when fed on
cooked food, provided tho food contains oil, starch und
sugar. Another important mutter to bo atteuded to
in fattening animals, is to look well to their dispositions.
Two quiet, good disposition hogs will fatten faster, aud
take on moro fat on half tho food, than four gaunt
grumblers; mid in fattening a stoer, it is positively
money saved to knock a vicious ono in tho hood, be
fore attempting to futteu him ; fut only accumulates
during rest aud sleep, und uny animal that is disposed
to be quarrelsome und troublesome, is not worth tho
food to futteu it. The chmu breed of hogs aro noted
for their kind dispositions, and they take on fat remark
ably easy. ” Fut and lazy,” is uu old adage, “ Laugh
and grow fut is another,” and wo know that it ap
plies as well to animals ns to men. Cleanliness is an
other indispensiblo requisite in laying on fat; the nni-
liiul that is kept deau will futton on less food than ono
that wallows iu mire. A beef should bo curried and
combed, lings should bo well littered, an occasional
dusting of ashes in tho hogs sleeping apartment will
ho found of great service, it drives ofl' vermin and
keeps their skins clean. A Img that is well fed, and
of kind disposition, will come to its feeder to be curried
uud scratched as regularly ns any other pet, and as
currying nnd scratching induces contentment, con
tentment helps lay on tho fat. We say then, domes
ticate and gentle all auimals thut aro to fatten.
Tho Drouth.
Whilst the cotton planter bends all his energies to
pick out his cotton, during tho present dry, favoruhlo
weather, let him not bo regardless of his potatoes, peas,
und turnips. Thu vegetable HeuKou bus already past,
uud where are the supplies to come fiom, until they
come again ? Tho pea crop is already greatly cut ofl’,
there c.m not bo half a crop of ^woet potatoes, even
should wo gel ruin soon, und turnips arc almost a fail
ure. Of what avail will bo the cotton crop if tho
farmer bus all his meat and vegotublo supplies to pur
chase? Are not the smaller crops too much over
looked iu the anxiety to make a great crop of cottou ?
IIow many pluiil their potatoes uud turnips, with re
ference to a drouth in the full, whilst tho cotton pick
ing goes bravely on, the potatoes und turnips aro burn
ing up. Now who does not know that fresh laud
stuuds n drouth belter than old, aud those who still
have a piece to tuko in should keep it for potatoes aud
turnips, and whore new land cannot bo got, select tho
piece beet calculated to retuili moisture, and if it re
quires manuring cow pen it. Wo know tho corn crop
to bo i-luirt, uud with the failure of the smaller but no
less important crops, there must bo n scarcity in tho
provision inaikel long before another harvest time, uud
the provident planter, that with his thirteen cent cot
tou, and short crop of corn, has hanked up a reasona
ble quantity of potatoes, and can look out on the green
tops of bis rutabagas aud turnips notwithstanding tho
drouth of August and September* uud has had fore
thought enough to provide pa»turago of ryo and hur
ley fur his stock, is like unto tho wise virgin who kept
her lump trimmed und burning. Reader, liuvo you been
thus provident?
Cora worth Cultivating.
Wo liuvo been presented with an oar of corn from
the pluntutiou of Col. Furrish Carter, of Cherokee,
which mukesour nubbins blush. The cob is thirteen
inched loug, the ear measures nine inches in circum-
fereuco at the butt end, uud contains twelve hundred
perfect grains. A frieud suggests that it probably is
the only ear grown on tho plantation of tlieso pro
portions, but from wliut wo know of Col. Cartor, we
believe ho has more of the “same sort.” Wlmt say
you, Colouol ? Cunt you send us a bushel to exhibit

mitted free. CHAR. A. PEABODY,
Corresponding Secretary
the most celebrated breeds arc well represented, but
tho Durham* and Devons are out in the strongest
force, and tho many splendid animals shown in
each department elicit the warm praise of their re
spective admirers. As it may be interesting to
Southern breeders, I will mention a few of tho
prominent exhibitors of fine stock.
Dukhams.—Some splendid specimens of the im
proved “short horns” were exhibited by Col. Sher
wood, Auburn, F. Rotch, Esq., of Otsego co.. Geo.
Vail, of Troy, S. P. Chapman, of Madison co., 7*.
B. Wakemnn, of Herkimer co., and others. Tho
imported Bull (“3d Duke of Cambridge”) of Col.
Sherwood, an imported heifer belonging to the
same gentleman, some line coivs of Messrs. Rotch
and Vail, aro particularly worthy of mention. We
also noticed a great number of excellent grado
Durhams, many of which presented every indi
cation of being very deep milkers; and some work
ing oxen of the Durham stock were of the most
majestic and lordly proportions.
Devons.—There was quite a large show of tho
beautiful Devonshirecattlo by Messrs. Washburn,
of Otsego co., Ilurlhurt of Connecticut, Collins, of
Dutchess co.. Van Rensselaer, of Otsego county,
Cowles, of Connecticut and others; and judging at
the high prices at which young cattle of this breed
aro held, and the attention bestowed them by breed
ers, it would appear, that they arc rapidly winning
their way in public favor and bid fair soon to be
come “all tho rage” at the North as well as with
tis. The demand from the South lias been so great
lately that the Devon men of tho North are prepar
ing to supply it in good earnest, and wo are glad
to learn that several very superior animals are now
on their way to this country from England. These
animals arc said to be of tho purest North Devon
stock, nnd t\» they are selected by a gentleman
every way competent we may confidently look for
something superior from and admixture of the new
blood with that of our present stock. Our friend,
Peters, of Atlanta, has, with his usual enterprise
nnd liberality, made several purchases of Devons
at this Fair and entered into arrangements with
one the importers of the herd now coming over,
to be supplied with some of the earliest prog
eny of the foreign stock. This, in addition to the
line herd lie already possesses, will enable him, in
a measure, to supply the home demand; and us
the Devonshire cattle seem peculiarly adapted to
tho Mouth, wo trust that those gentlemen who
have been to the trouble and expeusoof procuring
this valuable stock, will receive the encouragement
and reward they deserve. While speaking of
Devons, wo should not omit the mention of several
yoke of Devon working oxen that wo observed on
the ground. In gentleness, docility, intelligence,
high training and quickness of motion, those tine
animals were very little inferior to the best horses;
and the ease with which their drivers guided them
through the mo<t complicated mamevresby a gen
tle word or slight touch of the goad, would have
struck some of our “pinny woods” string-jerkers
with theprofoinidest astonishment!
Hkkkfokus.—Some very line animals of this
breed were exhibited by K. Coming, of Albany.
Akypihuks.—E. P. Prentice, o! Albany, U. L.
Colt of Patterson, N. Jersey, and other gentlemen
ollered several species ol this breed for exhibtion:
but as I am not “posted up” on the peculiar mer
its of the Ayrshires, I forbear comment.
Alheiikevn.—R. L. Colt, of Patterson, N. J.,
exhibited several animals of this breed, and also
one pair of Hungarian cattle, whoso unique ap
pearance attracted much attention.
tirade Cattle, or crosses of most of the forego
ing with the common cattle of the country, wero
very abundant, and some of them possessed many
“points” of excellence. The fittest crosses, how
ever, were between the best native cows s.nd Dur
ham or Devon Bulls. The “crosses” ol'Aldorncys,
Ayreshircs, Iicrefords, &c., presented no peculiar
ities worthy of notice.
Natives.—Several native cattle (so called)
were on exhibition; but wherever any remarkable
finalities were discernible there was nodillicully
in tracing them hack to improved blood of the
“short horns” or Devoiishires.
Sales of Devon calves wore made at prices ran
ging from .*575 to #126, and of Durhams of the
best stock at about the same rates. Tho sales of
other descriptions of cattle were limited, and pri
ces did not transpire.
Houses.—The display of Horses was very largo
and line embracing almost every known variety,
from the gigantic English Draft Horse to the di
minutive Mexican policy. The show of single
trotting horses, and matched horses iu harness was
particularly good ; and wo were especially pleas
ed with the hno actions und perfect training of sev
eral “Morgan” stallions that wo observed trotting
around the ring before buggies or sulkies, at “3
minute speed.” The great demand for this valua
ble stock of horses has induced many unscrupu
lous persons to palm oft’hull'or quarter bloods as
the genuine “Morgan,” and so strongly are the
peculiarities of the race stamped upon even their
remote progeny that it is nodillicull matter. Those
who wish the true breed will, therefore, have to ex
ercise their best judgment or they will bo “sad
dled” with hors s that tiro “Morgan” only in name.
We are led to this remark hy observing uttho pres
ent exhibition many horses claiming lobe “Mor
gan,” that possessed none of the peculiar excel
lencies of tho true breed, nor any points in com
mon with es^cli other. Tho celebrated trotting

Meuinos.—Messrs. Bingbnmof Vermont, Rotch,
ofOstego, at d others,exhibited J-ome splendid spec
imens ol French Merinos ot late importation; hut
the prices at which the host animals were held
(*§200 to 300 per head!) operated as an eilectual
check upon all hut the most enthusiastic lovers of
the “woolly tribe.”
South Downs.-Messrs, ltotch, of Ostego, Wake-
man of Herkimer, McIntyre, of Albany, and oth
ers,exhibited excellent specimens of Mouth Downs;
among which 1 noticed a very superior Rain, pur
chased by Mr. J. V. Jones, of Atlanta, Geo., from
the Hock of Mr. Rotch, of Otsego county.
Cotswolds, Bake wells, Leicesteiis, & c.—
Mr. Younghnns, ol Rensselaer co., exhibited a tine
lot of long-wooled ewes, and several lots were ex
hibited from Canada, and elsewhere; hut I saw no
sheep in this class equal to the fine new Oxford-
shires and Cotswolds shown at the late Fair at At
lanta.
Saxons.—Of Saxons and their grades there was
a large number exhibited; sume of them of excel
lent quality, and others very indifferent.
Swine.—The show of Swine was not very re
markable, either for number nr quality: hut we
noticed one or two good specimens of the Leices
tershire and Chinese breeds, uud a few Suflblks nf
fair quality.
Poultry.—Mr. Rotcli, of Otsego, exhibited a
coon of Dorkings of superior quality ; Mr. Ward,
of Lansirigburg, presented some fine Black Po
land fowls; Mr. Kiriland, of Crecnbu.sh, a coop of
the largo white Shangac fowls; Mr. Chudwick, of
Oneida, a lot of very pretty English Creel fowls;
R. L. Colt, of Patterson, N. J., presented Wild
(ieesc, Chinese (ieese, Wild Java Geese, Jorscy
Blue Fowls, Black Java fowls, While Shaugm
fowls, Crested Ducks, Eider Ducks. Muscovy
Ducks, Mongrel Topknot Ducks, 1 pair half wild
Turkeys, 1 pair of Capons, and a lot of mongrel or
cross-breed topknot fowls of various colors ; L. F.
Allen, of Black Rock, presented a lot of African
(ieese, a jiair of Spanish Geese and some Bre
men Geese ; Mr. Platt of Albany, presented a fino
collection of fowls, comprising ‘Albany Dorkings,'
Shanga: fowls, Silver Pheasant fowls, Black Po
lands, Chittagongs, Java Bantams, and a splendid
Curassow, or Mexican Pheasant, of tho kind des
cribed by our frieud, Mr. Boddio, in a late number
of the Southern Cultivator. This splendid bird
i>» well worthy of a place in our poultry yards, and
sented different kinds of Poultry; but upon the
whole, the exhibition in this department fell short
of our expectations. Tho season is particularly
unfavorable to the exhibition of poultry—most of
the feathered tribe being now undergoing their
annual “moult”—and we understand that several
of tho prominent fanciers are keeping their fowls
in reserve for the coming Fair of tho American
Institute, and the great Boston Poultry Show which
is to “come off” during the present fall. As an
evidence of the manner, in which the prevailing
“chicken fever” has run up tho price of fowls, I
may mention the fact that the. premium Dorking sat
this Fair (those of our correspondent, Mr. Rotch,)
were sold for $5 per head, or #20 for 1 cock and
3 hens Tho purchaser was Richard Peters, Esq.,

Agricultural Fair of Now York tor 1850.
Albany, N. Y., Sept. 6, 1850.
The great Fair of the New York State Agricul
tural Society is now in progress; and, while my
impressions are fresh and vivid, I will endeavor to
(l-scribe briefly some of tho most remarkable fea
tures of this “monster'’ show—which, in the ex
tent and variety of objects presented, the number
of persons in attendance, and 1 the convenient ar
rangement of the buildings and grounds, is gene
rally admitted to surpass ull former exhibitions.
Cattle.—The show of Cuttle of every descrip
tion is me Urgc-vf we have ever seen, und tho uni-1 wo hope soon to see them domesticated in the mild

What a Prudent Wiff. did.—A correspond
ent of the “ National Era” relates the following :
A fact which I came in possession of a couple of
years ago, may illustrate the character of the
New Englanders, and reveal tho origin of some
branches of their profitable business. S. W.
was the son of our country clergyman, and was
accustomed to laboring on the farm in summer,
and keeping school in winter, lie was moral,
industrious and frugal, and took a wife possessing
the same qualities, together with a shrewd propen
sity to calculate the cost of all articles of living.
Ono day Iter husband brought home the cloth and
trimmings for a now coat. The wife inquired the
price of tho buttons, which site noticed were made
of cloth ‘ lasting * or, more fully, ‘ everlasting ’ cov
ered on to wooden button moulds- She thought
she could afford a good button, made by hand,
for less money. The next day, like the true
daughter of a Yankee, she “ tried the tiling out ”
Site bought tho cloth by the yard, and the moulds
by the dozen ; and in a week she had hotter but
tons, at a less price, in tho market. The thing
would pay. S. VV. soon left farming and school
keeping. bought the cloth, which his wife cut into
bution covers, and button moulds, hired the wo
men and girls of the neighboring towns to make
them up, and sold them at grestt profits. Soon an
other entered into the partnership with him, and in
vented machinery to do the work. Tho plain
lasting was changed to figured velvet, and satin,
and twist. Improvement on improvement in ma
chinery was made, till they equaled tho best Eng
lish, or French, or German buttons. S. W. now
owns ono of the sweetest villages in the Connecti
cut valley* and almost supplies the United States
with buttons for coats and overcoats. He has
endowed an academy tnunificiently; has contribu
ted like a prince to the funds of a highly distin
guished aud useful female seminary, and has res
cued a noble college from embarrassment. So
much for the carefulness ufa prudent wife, and so
much for a disposition to earn an honest living in
some way, rather than thrive in idleness on the
hard and too often unrequited toil of others.
“Money mokes tho Mare go."
Holden’s Magazine contains the following and
many other good things. Our first extract is from
a sketch of Rev. T. P. Hunt, famous south and
west as a temperance lecturer.
A small temperance society had been started in a
community very much under the control of a rich
distiller commonly called “Bill Myrcs.” This
man had several sons which had becotno drunk-
ards on the facilities uflbrded by their education
at home. The whole family was arrayed against
temperance,and threatened to break up any meet
ing called to promote the object. Learning this,
Mr. Hunt went to a neighboring district for tern-
perenee volunteers for that particular occasion,
lie then gave out word for a meeting and at the
time found bis friends nnd enemies about equal in
number. This fact prevented any outbreak but
could not prevent noise.
Mr. Hunt mounted his platform, and by a few
sharp anecdotes und witty sayings, soon silenced
all noise except the sturdy Bill Myrcs. The old
dtitchiimn crying out, ( Misther Hunt, money
makes the tnare go.’ To every shot which seem
ed ready to demolish him, the old fellow presented
the old shield, ‘Misther Hunt, money makes the
mare go.’
At last Mr. Hunt stopped and addressed the itn-
pcrturable German. * Look hero* Bill Myrea,
you say money makes tire mare go, do you V
‘ Yes, dnt isii just what 1 say, Misthor Hunt.’
‘ Well Bill Myrcs, you own and work a distille
ry, don’t you?’ inquired Mr. Hunt.
‘Dat islt none of your business, Misther Hunt.
But., den, I islt not ashamed of it. 1 lias gut a
still, and work it loo.'
‘And you say that * money makes the mare go,’
do you mean by that, that 1 have come here tu
get the money of these people hero.’
‘ Yes, MMitcr Hunt, dat ish just what I mean.
4 Very well: you work a distillery to make mon
ey, and I lecture on temperance to make money,
and you say 4 mutiny makes the inarc go.* Bill
Myrcs, bring out your mare and I'll bring out
mine nnd we’ll show them both together.’
By this time tho whole assembly was in a titter
of delight, and even Myers’ followers could not
suppress their merriment at the evident ctnbarras-
ment of their oracle. In tho meantime we must
premise that Mr. Hunt knew a large number of
the drunkards present, and among them the sons of
Bill Myrcs himself.
‘Bill Myrcs,who is that holding himself up by
that tree V inquired Mr. Hunt, pointing toa young
man so drunk that he could not stand alone.
Tho old titan started, as if stung by an adder, but
was obliged to reply : 4 Dat ish my son, but what
of that Misther Hunt?’
‘Good deal of that Bill Myrcs, for I guess ho
has been riding your mare and got thrown too!’
Here there was a perfect uproar from all parts
of tho assembly, and, as soon as order was res
tored, Mf. Hunt proceeded, as ho pointed to anoth
er son;
‘ Bill My res, who is that staggering about as if
his legs wero as weak as potato vines after a
frost ?’
4 Well, I suppose dat ish my son, too,' replied
the old man, with a crest fallen look.
4 He has boon riding your mare, too, and got a
tumblo!’
At this point the old man put up both hands in
ft most imploring manner,and exclaimed; 4 Now,
Misther Hunt if you won’t say any more, I will bo
still.*
Thisannotincement was received with a roar of
applause and laughter, and from that moment Mr.
Hunt had all the ground to himself.

MANY SUBSCRIBERS.
Cuthbeiit, September 28th, 1850.
Messrs. B. O’Conner, C. Guilford, }. W. Guilford. A.
Brazil!, W. M. Guilford, D. B. Strickland, C. McIn
tyre, h. C. A. Warren.
Gentlemen:—Your esteemed favor requesting
from mo “ an expression of sentiment in reference
to the issues now agitating and jeoparding the ex
istence of the Republic, and particularly as to the
course to be pursued by the friends of the Union
and the South in the event of the Governor of
Georgia calling a Convention,” was handed to me
on yesterday.
I have no disposition resulting from vanity to ap-
pear with my sentiments before tho public, nor do
I flatter myself that an expression of them can to
any considerable extent, influence or control the
opinions and actions of others, yet ns you have
thought proper to seek my sentiments, most unre
servedly shall you have them.
Tho Governor of Georgia having issued his pro
clamation calling the Convention, in the first place
I shall notico tho issue before tho people to bo
noted upon in that Convention under tho Act of
tho last Legislature: Tho issues tendered by the
press in Georgia, and the issues attempted to be
forced upon the peoplo by the ac|ivo leaders in
the cause of disunion, certainly are not the isanea
upon which tho Convention to be assembled, are
to pass. As I understand tho net of the Legisla
ture, nnd as his Excellency no doubt also construes
it, bnt one contingency having happened, conven
tional action must bo confined to the injuries
growing out of that cveutjalone; otherwise, the
people are liable to be deceived, and the grossest
imposition to be practiced upon them. The Gov
ernor, it is true, by way of prelude in his proclam
ation, carried forward bv the impulses of ardent
feelings, and with a zeal burning with such south
ern devotion as is pleasing to the chivalry of those
who imagine that they are now borne down by
the most cruel nnd tyrannical aggressions that
ever disgraced any government, and degraded its
people—declares that “in view of the doctrines
of free soil sentiment and policy, not merely by the
non-slaveholding States, but of the Government,
of tho imminent peril to which the institution of
slavery is reduced by tho act of Congress admit
ting the State of California into tho Union with a
Constitution containing the principles of iho Wil-
tnot proviso, in dufiance of our warnings and re
monstrances—upon them is to devolve the duty of
redressing present wrongs, and providing other
safeguards for future security.”
The Governor, then, in his proclamation, de
clares that one contingency having happened, in
obedienco to tho mandate of the Legislature, he
calls tho Convention. Well, in view of this con-
ti ngency, what must we do ? What can we do in
which we can be justified by consistency? What
can wo do, when the South has ever insisted upon
the exorcise of powers delegated by the States to
the federal Government, and denied to that Gov
ernment the exercise of those powers not dele
gated, and not clearly to he implied necessary for
carrying the delegated powers into effect ? Has
resistance, under such circumstances, ever been
encouraged by the South ? Does not the whole
doctrine of State Rights, rest upon the broad batia
ol unpdininistration of this government upon the
exercise of powers conferred ? Satisfy me that
the Constitution has been violated—that powers
have been exercised by Congress, not granted—
and that in tho exercise of such powers, tho South
has lost her rights—and I am willing and ready,
at all times, to go with him who goes farthest, in
maintaining those rights—but until then, as one
who is satisfied with this government, and wlio is
in the most perfect enjoyment of civil and religi
ous liberty, extending immeasurably beyond those
that bless the condition of any nation or people on
earth—I am unwillingtoresistwith ihatjreaistance
which means dissolution, with that resistance
which means civil war, bloodshed nnd ruin.
Did Congress have the right, under tho Consti
tution, to admit California ? Let us not dodge the
question ? In the 3d section and 4th article of the
Constitution of the United States, that instrument
itself declares “ that now States may be admitted
by ihe Congress into this Union.” Tho next sec
tion declares, *• the United States shall guaranty
to every State in this Union a republican form of
government, and shall protect each of them against
invasion.” Does this confer upon Congress the
right to admit California, and if so, what ia pro
posed to be accomplished by secession or dissolu
tion ? And here let me remark, that the disunion-
istssay that their object is to preserve the Consti
tution of the United States, and to have it admin
istered iu its purity! What, preserve the Consti
tution by breaking into the Constitution? Pre
serve the Constitution, hy taking the South from
under its broad banner ? The South have clung,
hitherto, to tho Constitution with a tenacity almost
amounting to idolatry. We all recollect tho pa
thetic appeals made to the South, but six years
since, when it was proposed to modify the veto
power in that instrument. The very bones of
Washington were almost mado to quake in their
lonely sepulchre, at such an outrage; and the
spirit of tho father of his country, wss invoked
in all the spirited appeals of eloquence and of de
votion, to descend and watch over the sacred in
strument, that no ruthless hand might change, or
abrogate, a single article therein. And now, be
fore our hearts havo grown cold, or the sounds
have died upon our ears, the demand is fora
change of the Constitution, a withdrawal from the
Union—that Union too, which framed the Con
stitution, and established it upon a basis that should
never he shuken.
No, gentlemen, this new doctrine I am unable
to cinbraco. Congress having the right, as I
have shown, to admit California as a State,and to
guarantee to her a republican form of govern
ment, I cannot lash myself into madness and fury,
and weep and groan over the Sontb, “ the poor
South that has no friends,” and awear before high
Iicaven that I will redress hor injuries, and re
deem Iter people from oppressions existing alone
in my own inlatuated and misguided imagination i
I should have voted with the Representative* from
Georgia, had I been entitled to a vote, against the
admission of California at this time; but with tho
Representatives from Georgia, I would exhort the
people to peace and harmony, and tell them, at
they do, that the day for tho pulling down of this
government has not yet arrived—tho admission of
California by Congress will not justify disunion,
secession, or revolution. |
But this is not the only issue that will be forced,
or attempted to be forced upon the deliberations
of the Convention. Should the Convention con
fine itself to the purposes anticipated by the Leg
islature, I should have nothing to fear. The pur
pose is already observed, ami the object of the
revolutionists, will be to “ redress all tht wrongs
and injuries inflicted upon the South, in prodding
governments for New Mexico and Utah, and the
surrender by Texas of a portion of her domain I"
Well, what are the injuries hero complained of?
Has Ihe South lost all, and tbs North gained eve
rything ? Why the Boston Atlas aavsthe “ North
has lost all, ana the South has gained everything.”
Both propositions esnnot be true. list us im,
howover.how tho “ loss and gain” stands. First,
what has the South insisted upon, in the framing
and passing of these bills, that hits not, with two
exceptions, been substantially acquiesced in by
the North, and incorporated into tho bills ? I will
call your attentfon, first, to New Mexico. In the
second section of the set providing Territorial
Government for New Mexico, it reads, and “ when
admitted (New Mexico) as a State, the said terri
tory, or any portion of the same, shall be receivou
iutotbe Union, with or without slavery, as their
the 8omh
which
n
have the right"*
and yet
enlarge
that whilst
upon the question ed
shall remain antond
haabeen formed, *»d
the Congress agreed fn 1
pined. -h
In the 19th section of the i
movement made by the Send*,
upon in Convention by Southern
grew, is inscribed, “ itie enacte
of the United States, (not of the
be deprived of Ms life, liberty, or pn
Territory, except by the judgment ,
and the laws of the land.” Now,If the-ftrrilM*
esnnot legislate upon tbeqneWiooof davery.nnS
the laws of the land do aeeoN Mm fat hit prtrie*,
ty, how can those same fawn' deprive .him of It?
In the first section of tho .net providing govern-
ment for Utah, it ia enacted in tMiameli
wording the second section of the act nta
New Mexico, “end when admitted
the said Territory, or portion of Apr'
received into the Union with or wfcwa wan
at their Constitution may prescribe at the lima.of
her admissionand in the seventeenth section
of this act, It is “enacted that the Cqnititntioa, 5
and laws of the United Staten a* hereby extend- •
cd over, and declared to be In foil farce In mid
Territory of Utah, so far as the tame, or any pro- - ■«,
vision thereof may be applicable." Who denied
that the Constitution of the United SuMOWM *
extended over theso Territories ? Northern Sts tea
men. And who insi,ted that if the Constitution v
was extended to these Territories, that the insti
tution of slavery was safe ? The South, headed
by Mr. Calhoun himself. Northern members of
Congress frankly admitted that If theJConetitution
of the United States went into the Territories,
that slavery could and moet’go there too. The
Simthjdemandsand the North acquleeoee, and is
this nothing for the South ?
The South urges upon the North to reject and
discard the Wilmot proviso j it ia done, and is this
gaining nothing for the South? Atone One the
South denounced the Missouri Compromise, and
openly declared that nothing short of non-inter
vention will satisfy them,, and non-intervention
prevails, as fully as legislation can establish it.
Is that no concession, no compromise, with the
South ? Who can say that if tho North had
come to 36 30, the ultras would not have taken
refuge behind something else, in the hope that
Congress would not grant it ? The fsciHtjrwith
which positions were assumed, and then abandon
ed, when ready to prevail before ConglMS, mqplt
justify one in saying that nothing could have been .
made satisfactory, entirely so, to a strong Wd
able party from the South, who look to dinmon
as the crowning result—gratifying thM ambition .
cherished for the last twenty years. -
But again, Texas Is to be dismembered, agalns*
her consent! " Freesoil States built up,” and the
South l(agreeable to some calculations, bringing
down tne fractions) isito pay “ seven milUqoe five
hundred thousand dollars of thie ten millions to
be given!” Well, this is iniquitous indeed, if true i
and mv blood boils with indignation at the men
tion of Buch injustice. But now is Ut Let ua
examine this question a little: Is Texas dismem
bered against her conaent ? By no means. Tex
as claims certain boundaries aaher right; a strong
party in Congress contend that her title is not
clear and indisputable. In this honest difference
of opinion, it is proposed by Cohgreee, if Tex-
as will accept it, to change her boundaries
and establish those proposed, that the government, ,
of the United States pay the sum of tenmUlitmii „
of dollars in consideration that Texas shall relin- y
quish all claims upon the United States for liabil
ity of the debts of Texas, and for compensation
of i ndemnity for the surrender to the United Btatea
of her ships, ports, arsenals, custom honsee, cus
tom house revenues, arms and monitions ol war,
and public building with their sites. Hat Texas
the right to make this disposition of her domain t
No one can deny so plain a right. Itasathe Sesth
pay this large amount, at the mention of which
cupidity and avarice take* fright? In one view
of it, Texas paya every dollar qf the ten million*
herself. Estimate the eurrender and reHoquIlh-
ment shore enumerated, and tell me who pays?'
You are ready to answer, Texas pay* herself up- .
on condition that Congress will advance the ten
millions, to unburden her people from the heavy
taxation now pressing like.aa Incubus upon her
energy and industry. Arid yet with the clear
right to dispose of a portion of her domain, at a
price she is willing to accept—the Sooth mast be
bamboozled, and opposition, wholesale opposition,
with bitter curses, must flow as freely and noieuy
from the iipa of every man’ In Georgia, a* the
water rashes over the racks and foil* of the Chat
tahoochee, or else lie is to he branded a* a 1 traitor,
and whipped naked through every street.
The North appreciate, (t mean Dm respectable
portion of the North) appreciate the condition of
the border States in regard to slaves fleeing into
free States. The Sooth was told in prepare her
bill, such an one as would be satisfactory to her;
and that it should pass. It was done; and yet
has that satisfied the ultras ol the South ? Shame
upon consistency! Shame upon the thousand
and one clamors for peace and harmony, by those
who want no peace! They new declare lnitily,
thattluBis only a gudgeon—a trap—Ire which
Southern border States are to be seduced from their
virtue! Does not sdeh language, and snch in
sults, deliberately offered, satisfy yon that nothing
short of disunion, under any eircumstanoea, would
be satisfactory to certain political leaden and
tricksters 7
And now, gentlemen, yon have my sentiments,
and in them I hope you will dlsoover rroxurr to
mv own icativi ooutu—fidelity to the Union or-
positiox to Disunion—end horrors inexpressible
highest perfection hr tfaeeqjqyihentof nllofHeav-
