In response to the Tuscaloosa Monitor’s
strictures in relation to the charge of transpo
sition made in tho Sun, we will state that the
author of the article is now disconnected with
the paper and absent from the city. Having
hut little taste or leisure for such criticisms,
the present editors do not think the import
ance of the subject sufficient to compensate for
the time that would be spent in making refer
ence to tho file of the Bun to ascertain who is
right.
For tho very complimentary terms in which
the Monitor’s article alludes to the Bun, we
iiutke our politest bows. The Sun shall never
be less welcome while we preside at its helm.
We learn from the Chronicle, that Mr. Wil
liam Harper, of the mercantile firm of J. &W.
Harper, of Augusta, died in that city on Sat
urday . evening. Mr. 11. was a native of Ire
land, but had been a resident of Augusta for
near half a century, during most of which time
he has been actively engaged in business, and
occupied a prominent position as a merchant.
Peabody Institute.
The Building Committee of the l’eahody In

proposals for an eligible building site, on
which to erect the institution founded on the
recent SIIOO,OOO donation for that purpose,
made by George A. l’eabody, the rich London
banker, now on a visit to this country. The
ground is to cover an area of not less than 100

Shreveport, La.
Fires, sometimes, though detrimental to in

demolished by fire. We learn from the Gazette
that contruots for rebuilding the entire block
luive already been made, and that lire proof
brick buildings will take the place of the mis

Ten Days Later from Mexico.
THE NEW MEXICAN TREATY.
By tho arrival of tho schooner Col Lester,
at New Orleans on the 4th inst., the Picayune
lias advices from the City of Mexico to the
IHthult. The Picayune translates, from the
Trait d’Union, an urticle copied and endorsed
by that paper from tho Mexican Extraordi
nary, giving the purport of the recent nego
tiations between Mr. Forsyth and the Mexican
Government. It appears that five treaties
were made, all of which were signed, on tho
6th ult., at the City of Mexico. The Extraor
dinary, ns translated by the Picayune, snys:
The treaties are five in number, depending
upon each other, and all complete an arrange
ment, the object of which is to relievo Mexico
of her financial difficulties, to bring to her
coasts a commercial fleet, and to her frontiers
a trade which will give new life and activity
to her commerce by land and by sea. We
give in order the substance of each treaty.
The first treaty provides for tho establish
ment of a commission for the examination of
nil claims of tho citizens of both Republics
against the government of either, excepting
the American claims provided for by Mexico
by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
The question of Mexican clainiN against the
United States, by reason of the Indian depre
dations upon tho frontier, and conformably to
the 11th article of the treaty of Guadalupe,
being a point in discussiou between the two
Republics, will be submitted to the arbitration
of the F.mperor of the French. If the decision
be favorable to Mexico, the claims will be
brought before the commission.
The commission will be composed of four
members and two secretaries, named by the
two governments, who will have the powor to
elect a fifth member, who will act as arbitra
tor, and who will docidc all questions upon
which tho four first members differ.
Tho second treaty, one of reciprocity, es
tablishes the freedom of trade in certain arti
cles of commerce enumerated, on the territory
and frontier rivers of the two republics—but
to the exclusion of the lines on the coast.
This treaty is based upon the principles of the
reciprocity treaty between the United States
and Canada.
The third treaty is a postal treaty, for the
establishment of a weekly line of mail steam
ers. This line will be supported by the two
governments, and will touch all the ports of
the two countries in the Gulf of Mexico from
Mobile to Sisal.
The fourth treaty has the chuructor of a
general convention, and stipulates, among
other things, for the renewal of the treuty of
commerce between the two Republics in 1881,
which has expired by limitation.
The fifth treaty provides for tho louu of fif
teen millionsof dollars to the Mexican govern
ment, at four per cent, per annum. Seven
millions arc secured by the surrender of tho
Mexican revenues to the United States, to the
perfect satisfaction of the principal nud in
terest.
Three millions will be retained in the trea
sury of the United States for the payment of
claims recognized by the mixed commission.
If this sum be more than sufficient for that
purpose, tho balance will be paid to Mexico;
and if it be not sufficient for the payment of
these claims, the Mexican Government will
pay the difference. This sum will bear inter
est till drawn from the treasury, for the
benefit of the creditors, whether Mexican or
American.
Four millions are designed for the extinc
tion of the debt due to England.
The remaining eight millions are to be paid
in cash to Mexico, secured by the surrender of
20 per cent, of the Mexican revenues on all
kinds of imports nnd exports, with the excep
tion of European cotton fabrics, whether by
Mexican or American ships. The 20 per cent,
will be carried to the credit of the exporter or
importer, as the ease may be, and to the debit
of the United States, to the amount of the
eight million of dollars. This arrangement
will continue in effect till tho reimbursement
of tho whole sum with interest.
It is said in Mexico that tho British Charge
des Affaires has protested in the namo of his
government.
INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
Fallow Citizkns: 1 appear before you thin iluy totak,-
the solemn uuth “that X will faithfully execute the office
of X’reHlilent of the United Status, and will, to the beat of
my ability, preserve, protect, ami defend the Constitu
tion of the United States.’’
In entering upon this great office, I must humbly in
voke the God us our fathers for wisdom and firmness to
execute its high and responsible duties in such a manner
at to restore harmony and ancient friendship among the
people of the several States, ami to preserve our free in
stitutions throughout many generations. Convinced
that I owe my election to the inherent love for the Con
stitution and the Union which still uuimutesthc hearts
of the American people, let me earnestly ask their pow
erful support in sustaining all just measures calculated
to perpetuate these, tliu richest political blessings which
Ifeaven lias over bestowed upon any nation. Having de
termined not to become a candidate for re-election, 1
shall have no motive toinlluence my conduct in adminis
tering the government except tho desire ably and laitli
fully to serve my country, and to live In grateful memory
of my couutrymrn.
We have recently passed through a Presidcutiul con
test in which the passions of our fellow-citizens were ex
cited to the highest degree, by ijueatious of deep and vi
tal importance; but when tin- people proclaimed their
will, the tempest at once subsided, and all was calm.
The voice of the majority, speaking in the manner pre
scribed by the Constitution, was hoard, and instunt sub
mission followed. Our own country could alone luvvo
exhibited se grand and striking a spectacle of tho capac
ity of men for self-government.
What a happy conception, then, was it for Congress to
apply this simple rule —that the willof tho majority shall
govern—to the settlement of the question of domestic
slavery in the territories. Congress is neither “to legis
late slavery into any Territory or State nor to exclude it
therefrom; but to leave the people thereof perfectly free
to form uud regulate their domestic institutions in their
own way, subject only to the Constitution of the Uuited
States.” Asa natural consequence, Congress hits, also,
prescribed that when the Territory of Kansas shall be
adinittod os a State, it “shall be received into the Union,
witli or without slavery, as their Constitution may pre
scribe at the time of their admission.”
A different opinion has arisen in regard to the point of
time when the people of a Territory shall decide this
question for themselves.
This is, happily, a matter of but little importance.—
Besides, it is a judicial question which legitimately be
longs to the Supreme Court of the United States, before
whom it is now pending, and will, it is understood, be
speedily and fiuiilly settled. To their decision, in com
mon with all good citizens, I shall cheerfully submit,
whatever this may be, though it has ever been my indi
vidual opinion that, under the Nebraska Kansas act the
appropriate period will be when the number of actual res
idents in the Territory shall justify the formation of a
Constitution with a view to its admission as a Stute into
the Union. But be this as it may, it is the imperative
and indispensable duty of the government of the United
Slates to secure to every resident inhabitant the free nnd
independent expression of his opinion by his veto. This
sacred right of each individual must be preserved. That
being accomplished, nothing can bo fairer than to leave
the peoplo of a Territory free from all foreign interfer
ence, to decide their own destiny for themselves, subject
only to the Constitution of the United States.
Tho whole territorial question being thus settled upon
the principal of popular sovereignty—a principle as an
cient as free government itself—every thing of a practi
(fcl nature has been decided. No other question remains I
for adjustment; because all agree that, under the Consti
tution, slavery in the States is beyond tho reach of any
human powor, except that of the respective States them
selves wherein it exists. May wc nut, then, hope that
the long agitation on this subject is upprouching its end,
and that the geographical parties to which it has given
birth, so much dreaded by the Father of his Country, will
speedily become extinct! Most happy will it lie for tho
country when the public mind shall be diverted from
this question to others of more pressing and practical im
portance. Throughout the whole progress of this agita
tion, which has scarcely known any intermission for
mure than twenty yours, whilst it lias been productive
of no positive good to any human being, it lias been the
prolific source of great evils to the muster, to the slave,
and to the whole country, It lias alienated and es
tranged the people of the sister States from eacii other,
and lias evou seriously endangered the very existence of
tho Union. Nor Ims the danger yet entirely ceased.
Uuder our system, there is a remedy for all mere po
litical evils in the sound sense and sober judgment of the
people. Time is a great corrective. Political subjects,
which but u few years ago, excited and exusperated the
public mind, have passed away and are now nearly foi
gotton. But this question of domestic, slavery is of far
greater importance than any mere political question, be
cause should tho agitatiun continue it may eventually
endanger the personal sufety of ft large portion of our
countrymen where the institution exists. In that event
no form of government, however admirable in itself, ami
however productive of material benefits, can compensate
fur the lons of peace and domestic security around the
family altar. Let every Uniou-loving man. therefore,
exert liis best influence to suppress this agitation, which
since the recent legialutionjif Congress is without any
legitimate object.
It is an evil omen of the times that men have under
taken to calculate the mere material value of the Union,
lteusoned estimates liuve been presented of tho pecuniary
profits and local advantages which would result to differ
ent States Had sections from its dissolution, and of the
comparative injuries which such an event would inflict
on other States and sections. Even descending to this
low and narrow view of the mighty question, all such
calculations are at fault. The bare reference to a single
consideration will lie conclusive on this point. We at
present enjoy a free trade throughout our extensive and
expauding country, such os the world never witnessed.
This trade is conducted on railroads and canals—on no
ble rivers and arms of the sea—which bind together the
Nortli and the South, tho East aud the West of our con
federacy. Annihilate the trade, arrest its free progress
by the geographical lines of jealous and hostile States,
and you destroy the prosperity andunwurd march of the
whole and evory part, uud involve all in one common
ruin.
But such considerations, important as they are in them
selves, sink into insigniiicuuce when we reflect on the
terrific evils which would result from disunion to every
portion of tile confederacy—to the Nortli not more than
to tlie South, to the Kust not more than to the West.—
These I shall not attempt to portray; because I feel an
humble confidence that the kind l’rovidence which in
spired our fathers with wisdom to frame the most perfect
form of government and Union ever devised by man will
not suffer it to perish until it shall have been peacefully
instrumental, by its example, in the extension of civil and
religious liberty throughout the world.
Next in importance to the maintainance of the Consti
tution aud the Union is the duty of preserving the gov
ernment free from the taint, or even the suspicion, of
corruption. Public virtue is the vital spirit of republics;
and history proves that when this lias decayed, and the
love of money has usurped its place, although the forms
of froe government may remain for a season, the sub
stance lias departed forever.
Our present financial condition is without a parallel in
history. No nation has ever before been embarrassed
from too large a surplus iu its treasury. This almost
necessarily gives birth to extravagant legislation. It
produces wild scheme* of expenditure, and begets a race
of simulators ami jobliers, whoso ingenuity is exerted in
contriving and concocting experiments to obtain public
money. The purity of official agents, whether rightfully
or wrongfully, is suspected and tiio character of the
government suffers in the estimation of the people.
Tliis is ill itself a very great evil.
Tlie natural mode of relief from this embarrassment is
to appropriate tlie surplus in tlie treasury to great na
tional objects, for widen a clear warrant cun bo found in
the Constitution. Among these 1 might mention tlie ex
tinguishment of tlie public debt, a reasonable increase
of the navy, which is at present inadequate to the pro
tection of our vast tonnage afloat, now greater than that
of any other nation, as well as to the defense of our ex
tended sea-coast.
It is beyouil all question tlie true principle that no
more revenue ought to be collected from the people than
the amount necessary to defray the expense of a wise,
economical, and efficient administration of the govern
ment. To reach this point it was necessary to resort to
modification of the tariff, and this lias, 1 trust, been ac
complished in such a manner as to do us little injury ns
may have lieen practicable to our domestic manufac
tures, especially those necessary for the defense of the
country. Any discrimination against a particular brunch
for the purpose of beuelitting favored corporations, indi
viduals, or interests, would have been unjust to tlie rest
of the community nnd inconsistent with that spirit of
fairness ami equality which ought to govern in the ad
justment of a revenue tariff'.
But the squandering of the public money sinks into
comparative insignificance as a temptation to corruption
when compared with the squandering of the public
land*.
No nation iu the tide of time lias ever been blessed
with so rich and noble an inheritance us we enjoy in the
public lands. In administering this important trust,
whilst it may be wise to grant portions of them for the
improvement of tlie remainder, yet wo should uever for
get that ia is our cardinal policy to reserve these lands
as much as may be for actual settlers nnd this at mode
rate price*. We shall thus not only best promote
tlie prosperity of the new States and Territories by
furnishing them a hardy and independent race of honest
and industrious citizens, but shall secure hemes for our
children and our children’s children, as well as those
exiles from foreign shores who may seek iu this country
to improve their condition, and to enjoy the blessings of
civil aud religious liberty. Such emigrants have done
much to promote tlie growth and prosperity of the coun
try. They have proved faithful both In pence and iu I
war. After becoming citizens, they arc entitled, uuder
tlie Constitution and laws, to be placed on u perfect
equality with nativo-born citizens: and, in this charac- i
ter they should ever be kindly recognized.
The feferal Constitution is a giant from tlie states to
Congress of certain specific powers; and tlie question
whether this grant should t< liberally or strictly con- i
striled has, more or less, divided political parties from
tho beginning. Without entering into the argument, 1 I
desire testate, at tlie commencement of my administra
tion, that long experience and observation have convin- ■
ced me that a strict construction of the powers of the
government is the ouly true, ss well as the only safe,
theory of the Constitution. Whenever, iu our past his
tory, doubtful powers have been exercised by Congrses,
these have never foiled to produce injurious uud unhap
py consequence*. Many such instances might be adduc- I
od, if this were the propor occasion. Neither is it neces
sary for tho public service to strain the language of the
Constitution; because all the great and useful |>owors 1
required for a successful administration of the govern- j
ment, both iu peace and in war. have been granted either ’
in express* terms or ly tlie plainest implication.
Whilst deeply convinced of these truths, I yet consider :
it clear that, uuder the war-making power, Congress may
appropriate money towards the construction of a mihta- j
ry road, when this'is absolutely uecessary for tlie defense
of any Stute or Territory of the Union against foreign
invasion. Under tlie Constitution, Congress has power
“to declare war,” “to raise und support armies,” “to pro
vide anil maintain a navy,'-’ and to call forth tlie militia
to “repel invasions.” Thus endowed, in an umpie man
ner, witli the war-making power, the corresponding du
ty is required, that “the United States should pro
tect each of them [the State*] against invasion.” Now
how ia it possible to afford this protection to California
and our Pacific possessions, except by means of a milita
ry road through the Territories oftlie United States over
which men und munitions of war may be speedily trans
ported from the Atlantic States to meet and repel the
invader ? In tlie event of a war with a naval power
much stronger than our own, we should then have no
other available access to tiie Pacific coast; because such
a power would instantly close tlie route across the Isth
mus of Central America.
It is impossible to conceive that, wliilst the Constitu
tion has expressly required Congress to defend all the
States, it should yet deny to them, by any fair construc
tion, the only possible means by which one of these
States call be defended. Besides, the government, ever
since itsoiigin. has been ill tlie constant practice ol con
structing military woods. It might also be wise tocon
sider whether the love for the Union which now animates
our fellow citizens on tlie Pacific coast may not he im
paired by our neglect or refusal to provide for them, in
their remote aud isolated condition, the only means by
which the power of the States on this side of the Rocky
Mountains, can reach tlierrfln sufficient time to “protect”
them “against invasion.” I forbear for the present lront
expressing an opinion as to the wisest and most eco
nomical mode in which the government can lend its aid
in accomplishing this great and necessary work. I be
lieve that many of the difficulties in the way which now
appear formidable, will, In a great degree, vanish assoon
us the nearest and best route shall have been satisfacto
rily ascertained.
It may be proper that on this occasion, X should make
some brief remarks in regard to our rights and duties as
a member of the great family of nations. In our inter
course with them there ure some plain principles, ap
proved by our own experience, from which wc should
never depart. We ought to cultivate peace, commerce
and friendship with all nations; and this not merely as
the best means of promoting our own material interests,
hut in a spirit o Christian benevolence towards our fel
low-men wherever their lot may be cast. Our diploma
cy should he direct and frank, neither seeking to obtain
more, nor accepting lc6s than is our due. We ought to
cherish a sacred regard for the independence of all na
tions, nnd never attempt to interfere in the domestic
concerns of any, unless this shall be imperatively re
quired by the great law of self-preservation. To avoid
entangling alliances bus been a maxim of our policy ever
since the days of Washington, and its wisdom no one
w ill attempt to dispute, lit short, we ought to do justice
in a kindly spirit, to all nations, and rcquirejnstice from
them in return.
It is our glory that whilst other nations have extend
ed their dominions by the sword, we have never acquired
any territory except by fair purchase, or, as in tiie case
of Taxes, by the voluntary determination of a brave kin
dred. and independent people to blend their destinies
withour own. Even our acquisitions from Mexico form
no exception. Unwilling to take advantage oftlie fortune
of war against a sister republic, we purchased those pos
sessions, under tho treaty of peace, fora sum which was
considered at the time a fair equivalent. Our past histo
ry forbids that wc shall in tho future acquire territory,
unless this be sanctioned by tlie laws of justice and ho
nor.
Acting on this principle, no nation will have a right
to interfere or to complain, if. in the progress of events
we shall still further extend our possessions. Hitherto,
in all our acquisitions, Hie people, under tlie protection
of the American Hag, have enjoyed civil aud religious lib
erty, as well us equal and just laws, and have been con
tented, prosperous and happy. Their trade witli the
rest oftlie world has rapidly increased; and thus every
commercial nation has shared largely in their successful
progress.
I shall now proceed to take tiie oath prescribed by the
Constitution, whilst humbly invoking the blessing of
Divine Providence on this great people.

Curious Discrimination.
A negro in Spartanburg, S. C., convicted
of robbing the store of Messrs. Lee & Briggs,
has been sentenced to receive one hundred and
fifty lashes, and then to be removed beyond
the limits of the State.— Charleston Standard.
This is not the first time we have noticed
like decisions in the Courts of our sister State.
In that State, if we mistake not, theft, by
white men, is punishable with suspension by
the neck till they are dead. We cannot see
the policy of discriminating between tlie races.
Another view is that we huvo not been able to
discover tlie right one State lias to punish, by
banishment to another State, her negro crimi
nals, thereby throwing a notoriously bad ne
gro on a community totally ignorant of his
character. Who of our citizens know but
that this very negro will be for sale in our city
within the next two months ?
It is a policy that should not he tolerated
The holding for sale such property, out of the
immediate vicinity where the crime was com
mitted, should be punishable with such penal
ty as would be a terror to tlie actors.
If South Carolina’s negro thieves, house
burners and murderers are too precious to
hang, she should be compelled to keep them
within her borders.
Large Sale of Negroes.
An estate sale of 120 negroes takes place at
Huntsville, Alabama, on 28d instant. Terms

Woolen Manufactures in Alabama.
We learn from the Prattville Statesman that
the Manufacturing Company of that place are
fitting up a mill with new and excellent ma
chinery for the manufacture of kerseys, and
that the factory will be in operation sometime
in April. The lower room only, at this time,
will be supplied with machinery sufficient to
run 400 spindles, which will employ seven
operatives and manufacture 040 yards of ker
seys per day.
Wheat Crop in Tennessee..
The West Tennessee Whig of the 27th ult.,
says ; “Our farmer friends inform us that the
wheat crop never looked better, and the pros
pects never fairer for a large and bountiful
crop of this cereal. The fields of wheat under
the influence of warm rains and soft sunshine,
look wondrously green now, and our friends
anticipate a full and plentiful harvest the com
ing summer.”
The Athens (Ten.) Post of the 6th instant,
says, the growing wheat in that section is com
ing out finely and looks very promising.

Mr. Pierce’s Southern Tour Abandoned.
In response to an invitutiou from the city

Pierce the hospitalities of tho city, on his con
templated Southern tour, he replies :
“My contemplated journey to the South was

“I have delayed replying to you until this

definitely with reference to my movements.—
It would afford Mrs. P. nnd myself great plea

THE GREAT DESIDERATUM.
THE UNFAILING REMEDY.
The Southern Cordial.
WITHOUT doubt Smith’s Sovereign Panacea, for all
derangements of tlie bowels, is the surest, safest,
uud most invaluable medicine offered to a discriminating
public. The most severe and protracted attacks of Hu x
Dysentery and Diarrlitc, either Chronic or Acute, ()t ’
diseases which always follow the Measles, are quickly
and completely cured by this justly celebrated and ij.
vorite remedy. Its powers are wonderful, its taste
palatable, its cost is a mere trifle in comparison to tlie
value of sound health, nnd it may be ranked as tin
greatest medicinal discovery of the age. It has been
tested at home and abroad, and all concur in pronoun,.,
ing it the friend of tne afflicted. This is a home pn para
tion,discovered here,put up hereby the proprietor,wb„
is too well known to linvo to resoit to any dishonorable
dealing to defhmd the public with a woithless mixtuie.
A trial will convince tlie most sceptical sufferer. It ia
good for all human kind, from the hake at the breast to
tho centenuarian. Asa citizen oi tho South, he offers u
Southern remedy, and is willing to risk his reputation
by asserting it has no equal as u medicine lor all bowel
affections. Lay aside all prejudice, test its merits, ami
make up your honest verdict of its curing properties.
For sale, at all hours of day und night, in Columbus,
fla., at the store of Gunby & Cos., at my residence, ami
at all tlie Drug Stores in the eity.
