COLUMBUS:
Friday Morning, Juur 6, 1850.
LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
High Price of Negroes,
We wituessed the refusal, a few days ago,
at the negro mart of Harrison & McGekeo, in
this city, of $llOO for a negro boy not over
1 2 years of age.
Columbus Cotton Market,
We heard yesterday of a few transactions in
cotton. I’rices ranged from 9J to 10c. for
Middling to Good Middling. The stock, is
being shipped off freelj both by river and rail
road. Stock on hand supposed not to exceed
4,000 bales.
The Milledgeville Southern Recorder of the
3<l inst., states that a protracted meeting in the
Methodist Episcopal Church in that city for
three weeks past, has just been brought to a
close. Much interest in it throughout has
been manifested. Retween eighty and ninety
persons attached themselves to the church.
The Power of the Press.
The Costa Ricans attribute their failure and
repulse in Nicaragua chiefly to a smnll priuting
press which Wulker carried with him as a part
of his munitions of war, and which, they say,
constantly turned out proclamations and bul
letins announcing his successes and arousing
the native population against them. They bad
no weapon to counteract this subtle and potent
agent of war—no engine of death that could
influence public opinion and stir men’s hearts
like this. Vain wore all their efforts to get
possession of the press—it was guarded and
defended as the Palladium of the Nicaraguan
cause; and while this battery continued in
play, unsilenced and unspiked, the successes
and the overwhelming numerical superiority
of the Costa Ricans were rendered of no avail—
Walker possessed a wand that could change
even disaster into victory untFcall up fresh and
enthusiastic recruits at luh bidding. Truly,
“ the pen is mighiter the an thsword"; and the
press and the types are more terrible and effec
tive even in war than the cannon and its iron
hail. All hail to this peculiar American “in
stitution ” and its triumphs in peace and in
war!
Abolition Philanthrophy.
There are thousands of poor creatures
(adults and children) in New York city, who
glean u miserable support by daily scraping
the streets of the city for scraps of dirty rags,
bits of waste paper, &c., for which they get
ono or two cents per pound, and thus manage
to make a shilling a day. On the Hist ult.,
two of these wretched beings, a boy and a girl,
got into a dispute about flic right to an old
rag, and the boy severely stabbed the girl,
who was taken to the hospital. The aboli
tionists, who can raise hundreds of thousands
of dollars to aid the escape of Southern slaves
from thoir masters, and to keep the “curse” of
slavery out of Kansas, linvo no sympathy for
the slaving, ignorant and depraved creatures
at their doors, but ignore a condition of social
destitution and misery which no Southern
community could tolerate for u day !

The Quebec Steamor’s News.
The India (telegraphed Indian) was the
steamer from Liverpool which arrived on tho
2d inst. She is of the Liverpool and Quebec
lino, and arrived at the latter port. The in
telligence she brings is not important.
The sales of cotton for the three days pre
ceding her sailing (on the 21st ult.) amounted
to 24,000 bales, at unchanged prices. Flour
had declined Od. a Is. per bbl., and Wheat 3d.
a Od. per bushel. Corn active at 30s. Od. per
quarter of 480 lbs. for White, and 28s. Od. for
Yellow.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer estimated
the British revenue for the current year at
£67,000,000, and the deficiency at nearly £9,-

In the Uouso of Lords, Lord Clarendon, in
reply to a question, said that the letter signed
“ K. Hammond” (offering 2000 muskets to
Costa Rica) was genuine. The agents of Cos
ta Rica and other South American Govern
ments had applied to England for assistance
against Walker, proposing a protectorate, but
the proposals lmd been rejected, lie further
stated that be disapproved of the existing state
of things in Nicaragua.
A convention had been concluded between
Turkey and the Western powers.
The weather in England had been boister
ous, and several wrecks had been reported.
Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
Though we believe the reports of the retreat
of the Costa Ricans from Nicaragua to be true
—indeed, if they are not true, falsehood lias
been piled upon falsehood and forgery upon
forgery, to an extent hitherto uuapproached—
it may be proper to allude to contradictory ad
vices given by the New York Courrierdes Utah
Unis. That papei has assurances that Walk
er was in u desperate position—that he had
been compelled to evacuate Granada, his capi
tal, and take refuge in the mountains, short of
men and provisions. The Courtier is bitterly
opposed to Walker, and it has undoubtedly
been outrageously humbugged by false state
ments, to which its prejudices made it too
credulous. The news by theOriiaba complete
ly upsets its information.
Prom Kansas.
A Chicago despatch, dated May 29th, says :
Further advices from Kansas, sav that after
burning the Free State Hotel, and Herald of
fice, Gov. Robinson’s house was fired, but ex
tinguished before entirely consumed. Sheriff
Jones then dismissed the posse, who invaded
the stores and dwellings, and demolished eve
rything not removable.
The post office was broken open and the let
ters seized. All the houses of the Free Stato
men were pillaged, except the Cincinuati
House.
Major Buford and Messrs. Stritigfellow and
Atchison were conspicuous during the day.
Gov. Shannon was abseut when the violence
took place.
Sheriff Jones’ posse left at sunset, having
been informed that their service would be need
ed next day.
It is supposed the fire seen burning Wednes
day night was Gov. Robinson’s houses.
The Democratic National Convention.
We have not received by our exchanges any
intelligence from Cincinnati as late us our own
dispatch ; but the fuller reports of some of the
papers furnish some incidents and speculations
of interest.
We are not advised of any distinct proposi
tion before the Convention to harmonize the
differences between the two delegations from
New York. It is telegraphed, however, that
they lmd refused to adopt suggestions to com
promise the matter between themselves; and
the New York News (organ of the Hards) pub
lishes dispatches of Sunday’s date announcing
that the Hard delegation had an official meet
ing and re-affirmed its determination to listen
to no compromises with the Softs; also, that
“the New Yorkers decline ull interference,
and both sections are working to gain South
ern support.”
The Committee on Credentials reported in
favor of the Anti-Renton delegates from Mis
souri, and Gov. Price, who had by violence
forced an entrance into the hall at the head of
the Benton men, withdrew.
The Mississippi delegation had resolved to
insist on the adoption of a platform before
making a nomination.
It is estimated that the number of strangers
in Cincinnati amounted to fully twenty thou
sand ; and it is said that there were more per
sons from Pennsylvania than from any other
three States—all working for Buchanan. The
“outside pressure” for Mr. Buchanan is by all
accounts represented to he much greater than
that brought to bear in favor of any other as
pirant, and this fact goes far to depreciate the
strength and magnitude of “official patronage
and influence.”
We do not yet fully understand the positions
and relative prospects ot the respective candi
dates. Gen. Pierce does not appear, from the
reports that have reached us, to be sustained
with any hope or enthusiasm by his friends—
probably because of the general impression
that he is “unavailable.” The Savannah Re
publican publishes two dispatches—one, dated
the 2d, stating that it was confidently asserted
that Mr. Douglas had authorized the with
drawal of his name, and that Buchanan would
be nominated on the next day ; the other dated
the 3d, announcing that “arrangements have
been definitely agreed upon whereby Douglas
yields to Buchanan, under the ‘ promise of a
nomination in 18.(50.” [The first prediction
did not “come oil’” as telegraphed, and we con
sider the last statement rather absurd.]
The telegraphic correspondent of the New
York News thinks that the Pierce and Douglas
delegates will finally unite on Mason, Rusk, or
Hunter, to defeat Buchanan.
Our advices from Washington as well as
Cincinnati indicate a sensible appreciation of
Buchanan stock within the last forty-eight
hours. This implies not so much that Buchan
an is popular as that Pierce and Douglas are
felt to be odious and unavailable. “The par
ty” begins to realize that the sack of Law
rence and the beating of Bumner have fearful
ly accelerated its downward movement in its
fortunes, and that its doom is all but sealed.
Hence the growing anxiety of the office-hold
ers to evade the Nebraska issue by throwing
political Jonahs overboard. We shall see how
they succeed, and if they do, how far success
in this will avail them in November.
We take the above from the oditorial col
umns of the Tribune, the Organ of the Black
Republicans of New York.
We shall learn probably to-day whether the
South will desert Mr. Pierce for a nominee
more acceptable to the Northern freosoil senti
ment. If she does, what will she have to ex
pect from future presidents? If faithfulness
to the constitution and rights of the South is
to be thus rewarded by the South, is it likely
that any President will in future incur the
odium of being faithful ? Mr. Pierce may
not bo available for the reasons suggested by
the Tribune, but it seems to us that the South
should adhere to him all the more resolutely
for that very reason.
Both parties, the Americans and the Demo
crats, profess to be national. It is but right
that Northern men should, in tho present cri
sis, prove their nationality by supporting na
tional and constitional men. It would be bet
ter for the South to be beaten with a candidate
tried and faithful to the constitution, than to
triumph in the election by an abandonment of
of the vital principles involved in the Kansas
Nebraska issue.
We cannot understand why the caning of a
foul-mouthed abolitionist, by Mr. Brooks,
should effect Mr. Pierce’s prospects in the
convention, though we see it stated that Bu
chanan men claim that it has giveu them
twenty votes.— Savannah Xrirs.

French View of Mr. Cranipton’s Dismissal.
The Washington correspondent of the French
paper of New York, supposed to represent the
feeling of the French Minister, treats the dis
missal of Mr. Crompton as a question of more
gravity than we have attached to it. He writes
as follows:
“The blow will be so much the more keenly
felt in England, as the last article of the Lon
don journals indicate confidence that the dis
patch of Lord Clarendon would be accepted bv
the United States as a sufficient satisfaction.
That disposition of the public mind assures to
the ministry the support of Parliament and of
public opinion, for all the measures it may
think proper to take by way of reprisals. If
Mr. Pierce and Mr. Marcy have counted on
anything else, as is too probable, the disillu
sion will not be long coming, and the re
turn of Dallas will soon awaken them from
their complacent error. „
Thursday, May 29, 8 P. M.
* * Neither the concilliatory form
which has per force been given to the response,
nor the distinction established between the
English Government and its agents, can sweet
en the bitterness of the deed. None of that
consideration displayed to Lord Clarendon has
been shown to Mr. Crampton. The dispatch
which announced the reason for his dismissal
was not even communicated to hint. It was
sent directly to London by yesterday’s steam
er, nnd it was only after the departure of the
steamer was officially kuown here, that his
passports were oddresssed to him.”

Judge Bronson, of New \ork, declines at

Seoretary Marey’s Letter of Dismissal to
Mr. Crampton.
Washington, May 30.—The following is
the official dismissal of Mr. Crampton, the
British Minister :
Department of State, )
Washington, May 28, 1856. /
Sir—The President of the United States has
directed me to announce to you his determina
tion to discontinue further intercourse with
you as Her Majesty’s Diplomatic Representa
tives to the Government of the United States.
The reasons which have compelled him to take
this step at this time have been communicated
to your government.
I avail myself of this occasion to add that
due attention will be cheerfully given to any
communications addressed to this department
from Her Majesty’s government affecting the
relations between Great Britain and the Uni
ted States, which maybe forwarded to this gov
ernment through any other channel.
Should it be your desire to retire from the
United States the President directs me to fur
nish you with the usual facilities for that pur
pose. I consequently enclose herewith the
passport in such cases.
1 avail myself of this opportunity to renew
to you, sir, the assurance of my respectful
consideration. Wm. L. Makcy.
To John F. Crampton, Esq., Her Majesty’s
Minister, etc.

Quite a storm has been created in Belgiuni
in consequence of Napoleon’s endeavor, through
the Paris Congress, to curtail the liberty of
the press in that country. Belgium is strong
ly backed by the British journals ; so strong
ly, indeed, that the Times insinuates that this
interference of France in another country’s
rights may possibly be the means of breaking
up the Western alliance. Such a result would
be highly probable if the present difficulty was
followed by an open rupture. The subject has
created no little excitement in Brussels, and
has been brought before the Legislature by
Mr. Orts, one of its members. In answer to
that gentleman, M. Vilain, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, said that no request had been
made by the French Government for a change
in the Belgian Constitution, (concerning the
liberty of the press,) nnd if such a request
were made it would never be complied with.
This straight-forward reply from the minister
was received with cheers and demonstrations
of the greatest satisfaction.— Char. Courier.
The editor of the Utica Herald says that he
once kuew a wild woman who cut her own
daughter in the good graces of her lover and
niairied him herself. To obtain revenge for
this mean, unworthy trick, the daughter set
her cap for the young man’s rich father, (of
whom lie was the only heir,) and mar
ried him, and bad children, to the infinite an
noyance of the other parties. This occurred
in Onondaga county.
It is estimated that the Montgomery and
Pensacola Railroad will receive, under the re

of 735,000 acres, 160,000 of which will fall to

Washington, Jun 2 election for May

Fillmore and Northern Know-Nothings.
The anti-Fillmore American State Conven
tion of New York met Friday at Albany, to
choose delegates to the national convention to
be held at New York on the 12th of June. A
strong ticket was chosen, and a platform was
adopted, reported by Mr. Hammond, the edi
tor of the Albany Register. It assumes that
Mr. Fillmore, has no sympathy with the Ame
rican cause. It declares that the Philadelphia
convention prostituted itself to slavery ; that
the sentiment of the party at the North is
against slavery; that Mr. Fillmore’s nomina
tion was a fraud of the grossest character;
that they adhere to the Bingliampton platform
of August last; they denounce the repeal of
the Missouri compromise; abhor and execrate
the reckless spirit of slave propagandism at
Washington; that the principles of the party
are the American Protestant sentiment and
opposition to the extension of human slavery.
Providence, (R. I.) June 3. — Tne Ameri

had broken out against Soloque in the vicinity
ofAuxCayes. From two to three thousand
insurgents were marching on this city. All
the males were called out to join the troops in
repelling them. It was reported at the last
moment that the troops had been repulsed.
Great excitement prevailed.
New York Markets.
New York, June 3. — Cotton is firm, and

GENTLY CHECK A CHILD.
A child was asked why a certain tree grew
crooked, replied, “Somebody trod upon it,
I suppose, when it was little.”
Ho who checks a child with terror,
Stops its play and stills its song,
Not alone commits an error,
But a grievous moral wrong.
Give it play and never fear it,
Active life is no defect;
Never, never break its spirit,
Curb it—only to direct.
Would you stop the flowing river,
Thinking it would cease to flow- '!
Onward must it flow forever—
Better teach it w here to go.
The Massachusetts House of Representa
tives lias reversed its action on the personal
liberty act. In place of the repeal bill, which
under the lead of the AVhigs and Democrats,
it passed to a third reading, on Wednesday the
House voted to substitute the bill reported by
the majority of the committee ; and then pass
ed it to be engrossed by a vote of 156 to 123.
By this act every person imprisoned or re
strained of his liberty is entitled to a writ of
habeas corpus, except in the cases mentioned
in the second section of the 111th chapter of
the revised statutes: which specify persons
committed for treason, or for criminal offences,
or in civil suits, and this writ may be issued
“by the Supreme judicial court, the Court of
Common Pleas,” or by other Courts, or by two
Justices of the Peace and of the quorum, &c.
But it is necessary to state the details. This
aet is intended to make the process of nullifying
and resisting a law of the United States more
efficient.
Thus, says the Boston Post, the hopes which
the friends of the constitution entertained of
a repeal of this fanatical treason law, are
blasted. Thus, an act which cannot possibly
be productive of good : an act which is a
standing reproach to Massachusetts; an act
which works constant injury to the good name
ol the State ; an act which hasstirred up more
bad blood against her than all other laws com
bined ; an act which is universally- condemned
throughout the Union—is still to disgrace the
statute books, and to justify the taunt that
Massachusetts is a public faith-breaking State!

He entreated the Massachusetts senator to
