Arrlral as tu* Georgia.
By tha mitral of the steamer Georgia at New
York from Chagrea we hare later date# from the
Isthmus and Central America. We cull from
the Commercial Advertiser the following item*
of intelligence :
Fboj* tub Isthmus,-We have papers to the
22d of August.
The Panama Star of the 19th has lha follow
a information relative to affairs in New Gren
u
We have advices from Bogota and Carthagcna,
which represent that an actual revolution has
broken oat in the first named place—the capital
of the republic—and that everything ia in disor
der here. We can learn no particulars, however,
as to how the fight atanda ; whether the “Rojos”
or Red Republicans—the government party—
or the “Liberal Conservative.” are in the as
cendant.
Previous to the outbreak at Bogota, however,
we are informed that a deerr 3 was issued by the
government to the affect that the “forced contri
bution,” of which we have before made mention,
shall be levied only upon the Conservatives ; and
that the friends of the government party shall be
entirely exempted. The consequence is, that
while this decree has bid the effect of complete
ly crushing the disturbances in the provinces of
Popayan, Buenaventura, &c., by causing the
Conservatives to join and abandon the "Rojo’*
party, it has had a different effect in Carthagena,
in which neighborhood, itia said, the people are
much incensed, and are making extensive ar
rangements for revolt. By the next English
steamer at Chagrea, we may look for important
advices from the Atlantic side of this Republic.
Oen. Herrera, the new appointad governor of
this province, is at Cartago—but we can’t tell
our readers exactly where Cartago is.
By our previous advices from Panama, we were
informed of a serious disturbance among the
passengers on board the steamer Com. Stockton,
lying at Taboga, some of them having gone so
far as to destroy the rigging of the vessel, and
prevent the crew from discharging the cargo.
The aequel is thus detailed in the Panama Star of
August 8 :
Copt. Ackley called upon Mr. Consul Corwin
for hla official Interference, and that gentleman
addressed a note in reply, which was read to the
passengers, and which had the effect of quieting
them that day.
Next morning, however, (Wednesday) upon
the crew resuming their labor of hoisting out the
coals, the passengers again interfered and made
them desist. Upon thase facta being communi
cated to Mr. Corwin, he applied to Governor Di
ax for a sufficient military force to repair to Ta
bogs, and arrest the muc tineers.
The Governor very readily called out the troops
and offered to put himself at their head, but his
ganerous offer was declined, because Mr. Corwiu
did not think his personal services necessary.
Capt. McKinney was then deputized by Mr. O.
to act for him, in conjunction with the troops,
which were to be taken down on the steamer
Taboga. By a fortunate mishap, the soldiers did
not embark, however, and Capt. McKinney
started down, accompanied only by the Captain
of the port, and the official interpreter going on
board the Stockton, Capt. McK. showed his au
thority for acting an Consul, and then caused to
be arrested several ot the ringleaders of the mu
tiny, who were at once removed from the ship
and taken ashore, bet upon proper explanations
were afterwards released. lathe meantime or
der being restored, and the passengers becoming
fully satisfied that they were pursuing a comae
which was not only placing themselves in the
wrong, but was calculated still further to embar
. rasa all the means that were being taken for their
relief, agreed to desist from further opposition,
and to allow the repairs of the vessel to go on
without further delay, and so ail ia now quiet,
and in aday or two the vessel will be beached,
when it will be ascertained what is the extent of
her injuries.
The steam ship Barah Sands arrived at Pa
nama on the 13th of August, and was advertised
to leave for Liverpool on the 23d of that month,
touching at Callao, Valparaiso and Rio Janeiro.
The Panama Herald says that when the rail
road Is in operation to Gatnne, which was ex
pected to be accomplished by the Ist of Sept,
the time of travel across the Isthmus will be
reduced to twenty hours.
The Panama Henrid publishes & letter dated
at Tumbez, July 12, stating that lha brig Anna
had been seixed at that port under the following
eircumatauces: —
Capt. Erskine was bound from Panama for
Taiparaiao, having had a long pasaage, and find
ing some of hiscrawsick with scurvy, he put
into Tumbez, the nearest port for fresh provis
ions. Immediately on anchoring, he received a
visit from the captain ol tha port who alter
hearing the object of his visit informed him
that be must pay tho usual anchorage fee of ten
dollars, (for which he must give a receipt) and
aaust sail within a g iven time j he also informed
him where he could obtain the articles required.
After the detention of a few hours in obtaining
hia provisions, Capt. E. repaired to hla boat to
embark, when he was told by the captain of the
port that he was subject to a ono thou
sand dollars for having anchored in that portj
whalers only being allowed to anchor there.
Capt. B. remonstrated against this arbitrary
demand, and mods of entrapping him ; and hav
ing no means of paying the fine, consented that
his vessel should go to Paita under the com
mand of Cpt. Cobb, a passenger on board, while
Capt. E. went as a (prisoner with tho captain of
the port, by land, to the same place.
On h?a arrival at Paita, Capt. Erskine suc
ceeded in giving his captors the slip, and joining
his vessel off the port, made sail in anotbei di
rection.
We have heretofore published, we believe, a
Semi-official notification that Lurnbcz is not a
port of entry, whalers only having the permis
sion to anchor there.
Rstolotiow ir EnwAooa —The Panama Her
ald of August 14, by the arrival of a coasting
vassal from Guayaquil, has intelligence of a mil
itary outbreak and insurrection there, which has
terminated in the expulsion of Oeu. Diego No
voa, the President of the Renublic, and the tem
porary Instalment of Gen. Urbina. It says—
On the I.7th of July President Novoa left
Quito, the capital, for the purpose of visiting hia
family, residing at Guayaquil, notice of hia in
tention having been previously communicated to
hia family, and mads known among the inhabi
tanta. It was proposed to meet him and his
suite at some dietaries from the city and accom
pany them with a military escort. A cavalcade,
eon sis ling chiefly of solders!.end newly created
®®can, under the direction of Uroina, undertook
the mission and went out ostensibly for this
purpose, but having met the President, they
•eised Ida and made him their prisoner. A
small man-of-war belonging to the government
was then lying in (he Guayaquil river, near its
mouth* President Novoa was hurried down to

To the Savasaak Georgia*.
Ho. a.
The troth will out. I have, for aoma time
past, observed a disposition on the part of tha
Disunion press in Georgia to drop tho With
iogton Union, on OBeoant of its able advoca
cy of tha American Confederacy. This, with
you and your compeers, is the unpardonable
sin ; and, on account of this transgression, tba
organ of the National Democratic petty baa
incurred your deep diapleasure. Yon —and
when I say pea, I ioalnde your party—you
have for a long time wished to denounce tho
Washington Union, and yet you did not know
how-to begin. This would have been kicking
against the pricks ; and, as yon are well aware,
this ia hard to do.
Yon have wished to be considered as the
Democratic party. Yon, in common with the
balance of the fire-eater< in this state, have
pronounced old parties dissolved, and that the
people were at liberty to range themselves,
and do so consistently, under either of the
new banners which were hoisted— 'Union”
upon one, and “Disunion” upon the other.
And yet whenever a Democrat baa refused to
rally under the flag of Disunion, you have
denounced him as a renegade and a traitor.
When yon and your associates pronounced
old parties dissolved, yon meant, 1 suppose,
that the Whig parly was di rived, and yon
were prepared to receive accerrions from its
ranks. But the party which styled itself De
mocratic, you still consi lered bound band and
r oot. ready to be trailed alter the car of King
Rhett. You changed the name of the party
which called itself Democratic—you changed
its principles—you made its watchword “Dis
union,” and still expected, by the magic of the
word “Democrat. ’ only occasionally used,
to carry the Republican party along with you
in pursuit of the mad and visionary rchemas
of the crazy politicians beyond tbe Savannah.
Was ever such hold effrontery, and such cool
impudence attempted to be palmed off upon
human beings f Verily, some men in the
world hold before themselves a mirror, and,
seeing their own asinine physiognomies re
flected, imagine they behold the faces of other
people, sad straightway, they
“ Play such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As make the Angels weep.”
But. as I was saying, you wished to de
nounce the Washington Union because it was
opposed to disunion. Yet you did not dare
to do so. because that print waa tba organ of
Democracy, and you wished to use tbe word
Democrat—sometime* at least—to drag the
Republican party into a support of tbe Des
tructives. You, and the balance of the fire
eating press in Georgia, were in e quandary.
Tbe object dearest to your hearts was so des
troy tho influence of the Washington Union,
because that influence, mighty ns tbe lever of
Arcbimidee, w»i wielded in support of the
American Union You did not know how
to begin. Some of you, though, finally put
forth, what, in familiar parlance, are termed
*• fteltrt .” When Major Donnelson assumed
the editorial chair of tbe Washington Union,
and, in his salutatory, took atronz ground in
favor of Union, the organ of Disunion at tbs
seat of Government proclaimed that the Major’s
paper could not represent the ieelinga of tbe
Southern Democracy. And I will here re
mark, an pasiunt, that the unblushing effront
ery of the ex Abolitionist Fisher, in seeking to
pronounce to tbe Southern Democracy their
duty is only equalled by that of a certain other
fuss-making, noise loving, Union hateing class
of politicians, now in vogue in tbe Southern
Slates.
The pronuuciamento of Fisher waa pub
lished in several cf (he Disunion prints, if I
mistake not—sometimes without comment,
and occasionally with very carefully worded
glosses. These were the “/ea/ers” to which
I alluded. Thinga passed on, and the ardent
desire of the disunion press to immolate tba
organ of Democracy in Washington, remain
ed unexecuted, because the malcontents
dreaded the roar of tbe old lion. That man
had but half an eye in his bead who e< aid not
see, at i foresaw, that would all finally
drop, and denounce the able Democratic ad
vocate of Union. Like so many jaekals whom
the glance of the King of beasta kept at bay
in an Asiatic jungle, you stood gazing at the
victim which you wished to destroy, awaiting
the signal to pounce at an unguarded moment,
upon the object which you ao much dread.
The Raleigh Standard, it seems, waa tha
first to make tbe leap; you followed suit, and
( see both tho Standard’s and your articles
copied into the Constitutionalist of the sth
inat. You think, now, that you have the Dem
ocrats whom you inveigled into disunion far
enough committed, and tbe “war is actually
begun” agsinst their ancient leader. 1 pre
sume you intend to push it to its “bitter end.”
Tha chatter of a crowd of jays, woodpeckers,
carrion crows and other unclean birds in dread
of the Eagle’s loop, or the clamor of a crowd
of “curs of low degree,” when pitted against
the King of beasts, will be nothing in compari
son to tbe chattering, yelping and whining
which you wilt emit in your unholy warfare.
And now, suffer me t o comment upon yonr
article* against the Union. Such an article 1
You first devote two-thirds of a column to
showing how much this journal is doing, and
wishes to do, against Democracy and in favor
of Federalism. You then davota a little over
eight and a half line# to showing how little it
i actually is doing and ean do—consistency I
You say “that sheet, [the Union] is giving
whatever aid it can furnish to the Federalists
throughout the entire Sooth.” By Federalists
| voa mean Union men. Such being the ease,
. let me ask yon if yon are wall enough ac
quainted with the history of your country, (I
beg pardon however i I do not intend to In
sult you by calling it pear country when you
and your fellows have forsworn it as a tyrani
oal, Freeeoil government, end when yon have
morally, if not actually taken the oath of alle
giance to South Carolina,) bet I will ask yon
if you are well enough acquainted with‘the
history of my country—’for I still love tbe glare
and stripes—to know that there were ancti
men as Jefferson and Madison, who formed a
party known as the Republican party, ia favor
of this Union, and opposed to a party styling
them-elves Federalists, whose watchword waa
Disunion, as it ia the watchword of the ire*
eaters of tha present day f Perhaps yen arc

Yea say “of eooree the Union stood side by
aide with the Whig presses of Tennessee, ia
glorifying that bill of surrender, and in arsons

ington for that purpose. Upon hie return to
the city, after the defeat of the Democratic
esnd date, be ponred oat along lamentation
over that defeat. And you assert that be
aided in bringing it about I Comment ia un
necessary.
Speaking of the contest in Georgia, and tbe
connection of the Union with that contest, you
* y that print is in “full affiliation'’ with those
who oppose McDonald. You aay that Mc-
Donald is “one whose Democracy has never
been called in question—one whom tbe Demo
cracy of tha whole State haa twice before
supported and aleoted as its Gubernatorial can
didate.” Well, Mr. Georgian, answer me
when Mr. Cobb’s “Democracy haa ever bseo
called in question f” Answer ms whether tbe
Democracy of this State haa not more than
twice supported and elected Mr. Cobb as a
member of Congress f And say whether or
not the Democracy of tbe “whole" nation has
ever placed Mr. Cobb in tbo Speaker’* Chair
in Washington City f Why, even the Colum
bus Sentinel —much more honest than, if not
so politic as, some other disunion preesea—does
not ca'l Mr. Cobb’s Democracy in question.
Do yon remember that not very long ago—
alas how great tbe fall since—when even you
at ill held tbe Democratic name, and Demo
cratic principles in respect, and when you
took some of your contemporaries to task for
forgetting bo h, the Southern Sentinel op
posed you, and said that it was not right to
call your party the Democratic parly, for
Howell Cobb himself was a Democrat f Tbe
Sentinel is honest. Would that 1 could aay
the same for tbe other d sunion prints in this
S ate. That journal knows and admits that
tbe Democratic party was disorganised, and is
wilting to call itself what it really is—a dis
union sheet. What tbe balance of you fire
eating presses really feel, sad ere covertly
seeking to accomplish, 'he Sentinel has the
manly boldness to speak out, ao that the world
may see and know i*e opinions, ft ia honest
ly, though erriugly, warring against the Ameri
can Contederacy, and is urging South Caroli
na to lay her sacriligious bands upon the tem
ple of Liberty and raze it tithe earth. The
Sentinel ia only guilty of error—ths balance of
you guilty of crime—the crime of hypocrisy
and deceit, if of no other.
That McDonald is a Democrat—ezeepl so
far as be may be tainted with disunion—for
disunion was never a principle of Democracy
—I am willing to admit. But that b* is more
nearly on Democratic ground in regard to the
one great issue of the times than Cobb is, 1
deny in toto. One thing is clear. Whereas
McDonald was once a Union Democrat and
opposed to the South Carolina mania, be is
now, if not a diaanioniat, at least ia “full
affiliation” with tbe enemies of his country,
both North and South, in their hatred to tbe
Union, and ia regarded by Rhett as ono of his
bugle-blowers in Georgia—a blowar upon the
bugle whose clarion pool it ia clear Rbstt
thinks, speaks disunion and nothing else.
Bhotl may well say of McDonald s,
“ Where, where was Hr ierick then 1
One blast upon hit bagle born
Were worth a thousand men.”
Os coarse you w II think here lam “resorting
to the same misrepresentations of McDonald,
(charging him with “reflecting ths views of
Rhe'i”) which bare for months teemed in the
Federal presses of Georgia.” But what yon
think is of little importance.
Even admitting your premises, that the per
sons and the papers yon mention are Federal
—which is far from true —your “full affiliation”
argument avails you but little, and the gun
which you charged with this amonition, is like
one mentioned in Hudibras, which—
— “ aimed at duck or plover,
Kicked back and knt ;kcd its owner over.”
McD'nald, it has been shown, is not only in
“fall affiliation” with Rhelt A Co., but ia re
garded by the head of the firm as one of bis
bugle blowers.
You aay “of course all its [the Union’s j
influence goes to sustain Toombs and Staph
on*” [I suppose you mean Stephens 1 and
Johnson, and Hopkins, Fsderalists and Fede
ral candidates for Congress—against such
Democrat* as Jackson, McMillan and Ban
ning.” Well, all that i have to aay i*, that if
being Union men make Toombs and Stephens,
and others, Federalists, give me sue* Federalists
in preference to “sue* Democrats as McMillan
and Banning,” who go in for sueh a policy as
will certainly end in disunion and its eorsss.
That word “sue*” is vary wail put in.
As to Jackson, you very well know he was
discarded by a meeting of dienaieoists in
Serivea connty, on account of bis advoeney,
as tboy said, of Clay’s Compromise. He
says that he ia a Democrat, and when he goes
back to Washington bo will anile in action
with his D*moer*tio friends from other parts
of the Udion. This is preeisely tbe position
of tbe Washington Union. And if this be so,
how can it be said, with any troth, that the
Union is opposing Mr. Jackson, with whom it
fully coincides t
Well, what is your position t Do yoa and
your party propose to unite with the Demo
cratic party at Washington, or go into a nomi
nation of a candid it* for President of the
National Democracy t By no means. You
inten J to stand aloof, and let the North make
her own selection, and that perhaps In opposi
tion to Southern policy. And lam very maob
deceived if yon disunienists would aot rejoice
if Wm. H. Seward were elected President si
the next election, so that you aught have a
pretest for carrying iota eseentiou your ne
farious designs against *tSa Union.
Tbe ramming up of the whole matter is just
this. That so fur a* tha support of the Araeri
ran Union, and tbo opposition to disunion by
the Washington Union, has had a tendency to
dofoat disunienists, protending to wear the
garb of Democracy— those who
•* Stovl the livery of the Court of Heaven
To servo tbs devil ia,”
to that ezteattbs Democratic organ at tba seat
of Government baa sinned i
“ Tbe vary head and front of his offending
Hath tins extant —no more.”
And well may the Union say of you and tbe
disunion proas generally.
All’s aot offence that indiecretion finds.
And dotage terms so.”

The How Mexico and Utah Bills*
What baa ooearred since the putsgs of
these bills, to chiage the opinion of the over
whelming majority of the people of the South,
that there exists no impediment to the way of
carrying slaves to either of these territories T
No new light has been thrown open the
subject by investigation. No judicial decis
ion has set.led it. The question is not one
which has boon just raised, and which bad not
been considered when the opinion of the South
was in the process offormation. It was raised
early in the controversy. No light has been
thrown upon it, tending to establish the axial*
ease of impediments, save that originally
thrown by those gentlemen, whose speeches
assarting the existence of such impediments,
brought down upon their heads each e norm
of indignation.
All that baa ooearred tines that time bet been
du tMohtiokmantof Tmitoiisl Qsuss innd as
tks prmdpU of non hfirsssfiss. What this
principle meant, we here shown by refa renoe
to the Democratic Resolutions of Georgia—
and by the arguments of a now loading South
ern Rights press. Illustrative and expansive
of those reaointions. In both Territories, the
establishment of Territorial Governments < ends
strongly to answer the only arguments ever
advaneed in favor of the continued existence
of the Meziean laws. That provision of the
law of nations, which it was eontandad by gen
tlemen prevailed, ts continue in fores the
iswsofs conquered country, until repealed
by the conqueror, had its foundation in the
necessity of preventing the conquered country
from going into a -ptate of anarchy. This ob
ject is served, however, by the establishment
of Territorial Government, and such establish
ment istberefors regarded by many persons,
who hold the necessity of some expression of
the conqueror's will, as a sntfioisiit expression
of that will—xnd as a displacement of the eld
law, now no longer necessary for the reason
for which its continued existence was tolera
ted.
So far a* any new light, therefore, has been
thrown upon the subject by the actual passage
of the Territorial bills, its teudsuoy has been
to inereaaa instead of to diminish the nu caber
of those who hold that there are no impedi
ments in the way of carrying slaves into New
Mexico and Utah.
In relation to New Mexico, indeed, there is
another ground—but as it doss not cover both
territories, we will only briefly allude to it
The pa rehaw by the United States from Texas
of that portion incorporated with New Mexico,
was the acknowledgement by the United
States of the title of Texas, a slave-hold in $
country. This portion of then Texas, now
New Mexico, is the only inhabited and civil
ized portion of the present territory of New
Mexico. The laws of slavery being clearly of
force there, and the laws of this portion of the
territory prevailing (by a olaar rule of the
Law of Nations) over those of the uninhabit
ed and uncivilised portions, the result is, that
in New Mszieo, upon the principles of all
parties, slavery has free admission. The ex
tent of territory thus indubitably opened,
is vastly gretter than that which would have
been eat of by the Missouri Compromise
line.
Ths position of the Booth, was clearly, and
uneqnivoaady taken open the question of
right to go Isle Iks Ismlorise with sloes*. One
of the Demoorado resolutions in 1817, was r<
follows:
"Reaotvtd, Tbat Congress possesses no poorer . no
des the Const itadoß. to legislate is nay way or won
r*h”e!*tia*. »o the institution of slavery. | t y
th« GomvtUvtwnal right of every etiisea. to reewvs
The above reeolotien asserts the ry { ht te go
with slaves into any of the territories „ Net as
neediog legislation for its enjoy own u
C*uttoUio*ai right- and going it
deniM the right of legislation.
This denial of the right of leg ;,uUon was
founded on the following trgn Meats. The
Constitution no whore confers ,„<* ,
Thai dense in relation to tarv tory * “Tho
Congress shafl have poms , *
of and make all aoodfnl roles a ad regulations
respecting tbs territories and st Isr orenerto be
longing to Ibe United States.” has boon oor

bon froot the granted .power e-andthe rights
of riovfhoUon xsere conoids red by those who
hold the .doctrine of aon-i* (orvsntien, to be
protected sufficiently by tbe raeggaMse of
slavery la the Constitution.
Whether this doctrine wm correct or aot, It
was bold by a large portion of tbo Southern
people. Ab overwhelming majority held le
tbo inntiUty of intervention. A large portion
of tbo Southern people, bold it both wrasses-
It was for this reason that when amendments
were offered to tbe territorial bills, proposing
expressly to reeogniM end secure slaves as
property to them, that ao unanimity could bn
produced among Southern members in do
mending such recognition and protection.
These men said that there bad oeenrred no
thing to change their Mad meats npea tbe no*
osssity ofanysoob acknowledgement, and that
if there had boon now light thrown npea tbo
expediency,that would aot affect tbo Coaeii
tntiooality of sneh legislation.
It is perhaps unnecessary to observe that tbo
passage of a declaratory fate on tbe subject,
would have been legislation as strictly as tbo
passage of aay other law. It in as an expres
sion of legislative will that it hM affect. If at all.
The guise in which It ia elotfaed eaa make ao
change in tba principle. In ao form, however,
eonld tbe amendments bo brought to unite tbo
Southern members who bold the above view
of non-inter rention. Os 90 Sonthoru members,
it is believed that not more than nine bold tbo
•ecetsitf of intervention, while several times
that number bald it Bussosttluhonof. Tbo
rest bald it simply useless.
Holding such views of Non-intervention,
• w w
these Sentbern men considered -that our rights t
icsrs saesre, daring the Territorial state of the 4
Territories, and ail they desired wee the ae- ,
koowledgement of the principle actually Ineor- 1
poratsd into the bills organising them—by
which they are allowed to come ials tho Union \
with or without slavery, as they may prolbr.
The votes npon these bHls on their final pas
sags throw some light npon ths position of the i
two sections of the country upon them. Upon
the Mexican bill sesry Sonthorn Senator voting
at all. voted for it—and in the Honse there was
a majority of 31 Southern members In Its fa
vor.
The vote on the Utah bill in the Honse was
in like manner, a vote by the majority of the
South for it, and of the Freesoilers against it
la tha Senate, the vote of the South on the
engrossment was unanimous, with the excep
tion of two Senators. The (inti vote is not
given in the second, bat we bslieve wxs unan
imous.
The expressions of the various legislative
bodies and conventions of the Southern
States, are alike eharacterietie of their senti
ments upon this subject. While we believe
no Bon thorn State failed to express itself In
relation to onr rights in the territories—not a
solitary State or Convention, (so far as ear
information extends,) intimated any desire for
the repeal of Mexican laws. The argument
In all tha strnggia it baa aver assumed, was be
fore them when the expression of their views
was given. The mass of the present South
ern Rights party was the moat strenuous in
smarting the inutility and nneonstiuitienality of
legislation. Not until the Territorial bills wore
passed by a majority of Southern against a
majority of Northern votes, did their senti
ments (without a solitary new argument or
new light) undergo a total change. Tbs ar
gument was spread before them in full.
They knew as well then as now the possibility
of a auit. They held tbat the denial of our
rights was an absurdity—that the salt against it
would be a miserable failure, and that eas suit
would settle the question, forever, and for all
Simigrants.
And yet one of the grounds of complaint
of Southern men. against the Government, is
the passage of laws in oonformi'y with tbo ex
pressed will of ail the Southern Sites, contrary
to the expressed will of nearly all the Northern
States, passed by a majority of Southern
votes against a majority of Northern votes,
the complaint to complete the climax, being
mads, net by the email dissenting minority, bnt
by the par y, the vast majority of whose mem
bers held anything more unnecessary, and a
very large proportion held it unconstitutional.
Warren Disaaloalsti—A Small dame.
Wi are informed tbat some of the “ ommll
fissr” demagogues and political tricksters of
the Disunion school in Warren eoanty, are
attempting to prejudice the minds of those
-voters in that county who are opposed te
nominal tons, against the Union candidates,
because of an error of oars, in saying that
Messrs* Lows and Lanvin had been “ nomi
nated.” We were informed that these gen
tlemen were the Union candidates, and pre
suming that they had been nominated, so
announced, without knowing any thing about
how they became candidates.
The attempt to make capital by such a small
Xrtek as this on the part of thu Disunion
Headers in Warren, evinces too dearly their
•own convictions of their sinking fortune and
tho desperate ehararetor of their eauao. The
xridk ia however worthy of tho oauso and the
aotars who raoort to its use.

W« received leet night, eererel letters from Senfa

in which Qov. Calhoun eseeatas his official duties,

The Legislature adjourned on the litb alt., after a
session of forty days. The most important law pass
ad was one to borrow money to pay themselves; but
as the Secretary of the Territory scon after arrived
there, it la probable that the debt was soon dis
charged.
Mr. Allan, Secretary cf tbs Territory, arrived on
the 27th July, end immediately entered on the duties
ol his office. i
The United States troops were ail leaving Senln
Pa for their naw quarters. Trains were departing
•very day, and it seems to be the determination of
GoU Sumner to leave nothing behind.
Col. Sumner, wiih 500 men, was to start for the
Navajo country, on the 15th of August, “ determin'd
to ight.”
“ Santa Pe,” says the letter, “ will be a mere
country town in a few months, as nil the busmen
will be transferred to Los Vegas.”
Col. Reynolds was still In the field (or Congress,
but it was supposed tb t he would have very iitt'e
chance against the influence brought to bear in Maj.
Wnightman's favor. The election will take place an
the first Monday in September.
Col. Monroe left on the 29th of July for the Stater.
The eitiseaa attended him on his way n law miles,
and it is said ‘ ‘ it will bo long before we have a bet
ter man.” The Colonel has been very onjurly a
bused, and a few yean in this country will shew it.
Capt. Easton and Capt. MoLaws left with Colonel
Monroe. 11 A'l take the best wishes of the respecta
ble Americana with them.”
Provisions are very high; flour is selling at 17 eta,

Several meetings of merchants had been hold to
devise measures to resist the payment of an unjust
end unequal tax imposed upon them by the last Le

they will resist it by all legal mean* known to nr.

bailed with honest pride by all Tennesseeans.
We chanced to bear the opinions of several
old “railroad men” as to the merits of this

Gbsbral Jackson and Cob a— The Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Jour
nal of Commerce states that it is a remarkable,
but not well known fact, that, in the archives
of on r Government we hive an engagement
made, in Jackson's administration, between
the United S ates, England and Francs, to
tke effect tkat Coha shall not be seixed by
either party, and that Spain shall remain in
nndistnrbod possesion of the Island.
This is very likely to be ee, as General Jack
son's doctrine relative to interference with any
nation in time of pence, le welt known. For
example, take the celebrated cue which oc
curred in 1818, and which hat been recalled to
ear recollection by the Baltimore American of
Saturday, of Arbnthnot and Ambriater, two
British subjects, who were mode prisoners hr
General Jackson in Florida, a then Spanish
colony.—Charleston Cmtrimr.
“The erreets were made daring what warn
called the Indian war, m which Gen. Jackson
commanded the American forces *i he In
dians ted into Florida, ware panned by Gen.
Jackson, and whilst there, be took Arbnthnot
and Ambriater prisoners. They were tried
by n luii.tarv tribunal, and were oharged with
'exciting and stirring up tin Crnek Indians tn
war against the United States and her eitiaene,
. they being subjects of Great Britain, with
whom the United Stales are at penes.*
“They wars found guilty, end Arbnthnot

sentenced him to fifty stripes on the hare

“Gen. Jackson, on the following dsy, which
was 89th April. 1818, approved the finding and
