party organization—from the Whig or Demo cratic. The Democratic party has a majority in each branch of Congress at this time. What benefit} lias the South derived from this fact? Let the I late outrages perpetrated Upon the South, in the passage of Clay’s omnibus bills, answer. Yet, who will assert, that if the Whig party had had a majority in each branch, the result would have been any better for the South. We do not believe that there is an intelligent Whig in the South that will say it. This cry of party, party, party, lias bamboo zled the South long enough. The Democrats of the South have believed, and honestly so, until | recently, that the rights and honor of the Soutn j would be safe in the hands of the great national : Democratic party. The Whigs of the South, no j doubt, with equal honesty, have, until lately, be- j •lievel they would be sate in the hands ot the national Whig party. The recent action of Con gress awakens them all to a sensed their com mon delusion. As to other issues, not sectional—not connect ed with toe great slavery question,the Southern Whigs and Democrats are not very wide apart. ; There is no radical antagonism of opinion to divide them on national politics. On the old issue on Banks, Protective Tariffs, the people of the South are not wide apart. The politicians, party leaders, much divided, have tried to widen j the breach all they could, but in vain. The peo- ; pie of the South have always been opposed to both National Banks and Protective Tariffs. > They are essentially State Rights people, and ‘consequently, opposed to ail latitudinarian con atru rtion of the Constitution. They hold cor rect Democratic doctrine on all the old party | issues. They cannot bo invoked to divide and ■distract and paralyse the South again. There is but one jreat issue now for the South. Jt is Resistance or Submission to anti-slavery. The great cause of Southern rights is to be i upheld at all hazards, no matter win tlier Demo- j crats or Whigs, loose seats in Congress thereby. In comparison with the great cause, the triumphs of national Democratic, or national Whig par ties, sink into contempt. Extract from a Letter to the Charleston Mercury, dated Columbus, Ga., Sept. 16, 1850. I was present, last Saturday evening, at the formation of a Southern Rights Association for Muscogee county, of which Columbus is the j capitol. The meeting was pervaded by a firm spirit. It was addressed with much force and j eloquence by tha Hon. Groigsiey E. Thomas, | the Chairman, Col. Benning, the lion. Seaborn j Jones, R. J. Moses, Esq., and Martin J. Craw ford, Esq., of Columbus, it was also addressed j by Mr. Whitaker, of your city. A constitution j was formed and adopted, Vigilance Commit tees appointed, and a firm determination mani- ! fested to concentrate and direct to proper results j the energies of all the friends of Southern Rights. The recent passage of the California and Texas Boundary Bills, and the defection of several of the Representatives of this State in Congress from their loyalty to the South, have produced dismay among the patriotic citizens of this community. The former is regarded as the expected consummation of a long concerted and wicked scheme of policy, by which the con s'.itutional and dearly purchased rights of the South were to be sacrificed in order to gratify Northern cupidity ; and the latter, while it has given severe pairi to their friends, has only ren dered deeper the abiding conviction, which is every day acquiring strength in this country, that the rights and interests of the people are safer in the keeping of the citizens themselves, than in that of mere political leaders, actuated by paltry motives of selfish ambition. The fierce and indignant rebuke administered, on this occasion, l>y Col. Jones, (late member of Congress.) to these recreants to their trust, will be long remem bered by those who heard it. It was not invec tive : it was not party crimination ; it was the expression of the deepest anguish and disgust, occasioned by the mortifying conviction, that the South had actually been betrayed by her friends —by those who had been true toh'-r in some of her fortunes, and who, she fondly, (but alas! vainly.) hoped would be true as steel to her in the hour of her greatest peril. The opinion is prevalent here, that, in the Convention, which his Excellency, the Governor of this State, is required, by an act of the last Legislature, to call, in the contingency of the ad mission of California, a decided majority will be found favorable to the adoption of the strongest measures —such measures as the crisis imperi ously demands. Whether that body will be in favor of immediate secession, from the Union, I cannot sav ; but I have endeavored to collect opinions faithfully, and I think the tone of pub lic sentiment in Georgia has a strong and un doubted bearing in that direction. 1 have visited no town in the Southern States, which exhibits all the indications of thrift and prosperity in a higher degree than this. Great improvements have taken place here within the last five years. The town is much enlarged, its business is every year increasing, and, I under stand, it enjoys excellent health. The Ogle thorpe House, (among the hotels) for elegant ac commodations, and substantial comfort, cannnot be surpassed any whtre. The manufactures of different kinds that have recently been establish ed here, the cotton, paper and bucket manufac tories are monuments of the wealth, enterprise and industry of the citizens. Ali trades and professions seem to be doing well here, even the editors,who succeed best in their efforts to en lighten the public mind when the war which they wage with each other is the hottest, as happens now to be the case. I regard Columbus, as, on many accounts, the most interesting inland town in the great empire State ot the South. The men are fine looking; the laaies —at least such as 1 have seen—charming: and the society of the placp, I should think, excellent. There is a high state of political excitement here, at present, and the feelings of the people are deeply roused. Submission to arbitrary power, wielded by faithless and treacherous ma jorities, has but few advocates in this region. The people—the masses—are in favor of liber ty and independence —of the constitution as it is —of the Union as it was, when it protected equally the rights of ail sections of the country; bin they are not in favor of the Union as it is now administered —an union of hypocritical fa natics and wily political jugglers, who are bound together to destroy the Union of our fathers, to destroy the Constitution with ali its checks, bal ances and guarantees, to render the wordspoiiti cal liberty, political equality, the equality of the Union, the rights of the South under the Con stitution —words of hissing and contempt among the nations of the earth. Against such an un ion first conceived in jealousy and commented by every foul and selfish passion,against such a fraud, trick and artifice —against such a mon ster in the shape of a government, now grown malicious and mischievous, the pa.riotic citizens of Georgia, and, as I believe, ot the entire South, are now prepared to make war and do battle— first with their voices, next by secession from the Union, raised in Convention, and with their swords, if need be, afterwards. Carolinian. {Correspondence of the N. It. Express.] Feeling in Mississippi. Jackson, Sept. 11, ISSO. During my short absence from Mississippi, I find the feeling of hatred or want of confidence in the North, has increased with fearful rapidity. It has now become popular to say that “ no con fidence whatever can be placed in Northern men,” and that “ they are all enemies to the South.” In this state of feeling, it is as much as a man’s popularity or standing is worth to put a word in edgeways in behalf of a majority of the Northern people, as such interposition is treated as equivalent to free-soilism or abolition ism ! Like all sectional excitement, the discus sions are necessarily ex-parte, as all who do not go the whole hog with the ultraists, (who always lead when the passions are up,) are con sidered “ submissionists!” Nothing connected with the matter is argued upon its merits, but every thing is classified as either Northern or southern, and wo to the unfortunate wight whose doubts militate against the unerring rec titude of every argument, however absurd, which favors the highest pretensions of the South! The same, of course, is the case with the Norther* patriots of the free-soil school, who dub all as “ doughface*” who prefer the Union to ascendency of their notions, which would certainly relinquish it. Thus it is, that honest men in both sections, opposed to ultra ism must derive ways and means to bring about the reign of conservative measures and opinions, or our noble fabric ot government wiiibe razed to its foundations, and the hope of the world b'astod for ages. Is it not too bad that the“ in femals” at both ends of the Union should thus, as it were, hold the destinies in their hands as the controlling elements in Congress? They are now talking in those papers which are ur ging on Texas to assume the character of judge and jury in her own case, of enacting laws, or adopting voluntary measures, to exclude Yan kees from the South, or make them undergo a probation of 24 years before they are entitled to exercise the right of citizenship! Some, in pri vate, go further, and talk of sending them out of the State or excluding them altogether, although some of the greatest fomenters of this section al strife, (Gov. Quitman, for instance,) are them selves Northern men by birth and education! Resolutions were adopted in this county, the other day, against the purchase of goods of Northern men, or the employment of Northern teachers. This is but the beginning of the end, audit it should progress to a final consumma tion, those fragmatic fanatics whose conduct has involved their fellow citizens in the disgrace of their acts, will .be alone to blame for the fatal consequences. Is it not important, then, that the same portion of your section should unite to muzzle these canting intermeddlers, whose quix otic exploits in behalf of the negroes have brought ail this about? Should not both the great par ties unite, where they are nearly equally divided, to elect a united ticket and thereby dispense with tlie third, or diabolical party, who have so held the balance of power, as to kick the beam in fa vor of disunion ? Unless a stop be put to the negro-stealing and negro protecting philanthropists, hundreds of good men, who now look upon disunion as the greatest of calamities, will lie brought to look up on a Union with such faithless men as a greater, and be driven, of necessity, into its advocacy. Many now say,“ lam opposed to divorce—it is a burning shame and disgrace—but it is a still greater to live in a state of eternal turmoil with a wife, between whom and her better hall, there exists no natural affection or sympathy. It there exists a natural repugnance between the parties which forbid peaceable and harmonious co-ope ration and action, why attempt to perpetuate the union between such discordant elements?”— Such is the sort of reasoning now common among a class of men who abhor disunion ; but have lost their patience at seeing the two great parties of the North swayed against reason, common sense and justice by a small, but weil organized anti-slavery party. A stop must be put to these things, or the Nullifiers will triumph over the patriotism of the North. Every negro stolen, every fugitive refused to be given up, and every Buffalo and Cazenovia convention, strengthens and “gives aid and comfort” to the Southern disciples of the Rhett school, and paralyzes in the same ratio the exertions of those who would, if needs be, lay down their lives to save the Constitution and the Union. A Whig. Negro Stealing. We find the following spicy communication in the last number of the La Grange Reporter > and commend it to the attention of our Union friends. It affords an insight into the practical workings of that brotherly lore which is at once the pride and the cement of this glorious con federacy. Oh, the. heartless ingratitude of those Southern Hotspurs who would sever the bonds of union with such a liberty loving people. Oh! noble Union, how shall we properly speak thy virtues ’ The Eaton Abduction Case. Brovvnwood, near La Grange, ( kiept. 25, 1850. Mr. Bioham : Dear Sir —Agreeably to promise, I send you, for the columns of this week’s Reporter, a suc cinct and hurried sketch of the villainous meas ures resorted to by the Free Negroes of the North and the Abolitionists —their worthy com peers in depravity and crime—in the kidnap ping and abduction of my servant girl, during the recent visit of myself and family to the States of Vermont and New York. Should I, in any of ray remarks, transcend the limits usually allotted to decency and deco rum, when gentlemen speak of gentlemen, my apology must be found in this—that he who deals with scamps and knaves—with thieves and robbers, kidnappers and abolitionists—“par nobile fratrum" —of whatever colored skin, is, of necessity, compelled to employ the language, and familiarize his mind with the associations— not of honest men and polished ladies —but rather of the polluted miscreants, who breathe the fires and are modelled by the furies of Pande monium. Such are the mangy and infuriated shapes of humanity with which I have had to deal recently. We passed from La Grange to Addison Coun ty, Vermont, the residence of my father, with out interruption; and,so far as I know,without attracting any attention beyond what is common to travellers. After remaining at my father's house, and visiting among my friends, and those of my father-in-law, the Rev. Otis Smith, about three weeks, my father’s family were suddenly surprised, on a certain Friday, by the unexpec ted appearance of a noted and influential aboli tionist of that region, named Robinson, attended by a certain Wicker worked satelite, whose offi cious sycophancy had already gained him far more notoriety than honorable distinction. Jt was avowed that they wished to converse with me and the girl, for the sole purpose of satisfy ing themselves in reference to the true condi tion and treatment of the slaves in the south. It so happened, however, that myself and fami ly were absent with the girl on a visit to a friend, living in a neighboring town. But so intense was the benevolent curiosity of this Mr. Robin son to ascertain the condition of southern slaves, that he followed me even there, and, asl after wards learned, he had already taken the trou ble to ride some sixty miles to consult the Chief Justice of the state, to know if even I could not be arrested by a writ of habeas corpus and mc nageried a while for his pious inspection. But the poor tool ot a judge, it seems, had no better sense than to refuse this devout application. The next scene in this ereen mountain drama occurred the next day at my father’s residence. The dramatis perscn.c of the liberty loving co terie, who arrived, consisted of seven ruffians, somewhat to be sure in human shape, but breath ing quite a brimstone spirit, and headed by a soo ty dignatary called a Free Negro, who hailed, as he pretended, from the Athens of America, Bos ton. He claimed to have been invested with the functions of Itinerant Lecturer upon the princi ples of Liberty, and bore his commission to the witless denizens of the U. States to enlighten them upon the true theory of Freedom, as it had been revealed to the African expounders of the American Constitution, fie had boasted that he wanted but three words with the girl to induce her to slope, and perfectly to galvanize her with the principles and blessings of liberty. Not disposed to defer to the authority of that sable oracle, I directed him to seal his lips, and if he parted them again, I would bespray hi? brains or his bowels— "trepidant ia ex la,” as a fit omen for the abolition “ haunupices” of Vermont to inspect and report upon. He took me at my word, and, like Faistaif, deemed prudence the ! better part of valor. # I had long since learned ! that abolitionism was only another form and I name for Using, stealing, robbing, kidnapping, j disunion and assassination, it necessary to com -1 pass its diabolical designs. Hence I was on un guard in reference to those of a paler hue. The ; first question propounded to me was about this : j“I suppose you have a slave with you ? Un j derstandiug'the trick, I replied, “There are no i slaves in Vermont, sir.” After a variety of pass j es and re-passes of this and similar character, I j said to them, “Gentlemen, I understand your • purposes and designs. lam here to protect my person and my family. If I cannot do it by fair means, I will by foul At this crisis, my father interposed, and, though sick in bed, arose, dis persed them from his house, and peremptorily ordered thorn never to interrupt his family again upon such nefarious designs. The girl indig nantly rejected every proffer, and treated them with scorn and even contumely. Thus foiled, another stratagem was devised. On Sabbath evening, amidst a tremendous fall of rain, there appeared at my father’s door a female, nr, any how, something in pettycoats— grim and hideous as Milton’s sin—but still, claiming to be the wife of a certain minister of the Gospel in that region. Distinctly under stand, Bigham, I do not attempt to classify this arflmal; I am willing to swear I did not exam ine the case. Heaven knows, she looked bad enough—talked had enough—and acted bad enough, to be Half horse, half aiigator and more than half devil. I consider it a’ case for Bar nurn. I leave it for him to find out what it was. But in she came. After an hour’s querying and prying about, it finally appeared that s:he had come to see “ that girl .” It was with some diffi culty that I could keep the girl from spitting’ in her face. The negro felt insulted to be called upon by such a hog. The old jazebel cried ov er the negro—begged and entreated her to go home wiih her : promised her every thing which she thought would induce her to go, and receiv ed for her pains and tears and promises, the in sulls and taunts of the negro. After witnessing ihe scene a while, thatGreenddountain sphynx was ordered from the house, and to return no more, under penalty of approximating the buz zard tribe, as nearly as feathers and tar could make her. Upon enquiry, it turned out to be true, that this paragon of abolition purity, neat ness, and elegance, teas the reputed wife, or some thing of that sort, of a certain preacher, so call ed. of that region. This reverend orator, as I afterwards learned, had taken occasion that ve ry Sabbath morning, to call the attention of his congregation to the subject of slavery—and, by way of an agreeable and entertaining episode, no doubt, to notice the presence of my wife in the country, in terms so felicitous and striking, that T cannot avoid transcribing them as report ed. lie called her “the Southern Devil, who was perambulating the country with human cat tle—wearing the gold bought with human blood, and that the poor creature who served her, then bore upon her person the scars of gashes inflict ed hv that merciless slaveholder.” These and other remarks and allusions equally decorous and befitting the day and place were poured out in rich profusion. Such the service of the min ister in the morning, and such the conduct of the wife in the evening. Lest I weary your patience, I will reserve the subsequent scenes for next week. G. S. EATON. [From tho Alta Californian, Aug. 15.] Terrible lliot at Sacramento City. The news which the Senator brings from Sacramento is exciting in the extreme. Riot and death rule the hour! The long expected collision between the landholders and squatters has at length taken place. The battle has be gun. God only knows where and when it will end! Capt. Van Pelt, of the Senator, has furnished us with the following information: An armed body of the squatters proceeded through the streets about 1 1-2 o’clock yester day, and were interrupted by the authorities, and opposed by portions of the citizens. An af fray soon commenced, and the city was aroused to arms. Mayor Bigelow was shot in three places, and died.in fifteen minutes after. J. W. Woodland, city assessor, was shot dead, and several citizens killed and wounded. Our correspondent informs us that Dr. Robin son, the leader of the squatters, was shot through the head. Mis horse was first killed under him. Several of the squatters were killed and wound ed. Their ranks were swollen from the 60 first engaged in the affray to a body of armed men, numbering between 700 and 800, before the Senator left. The keepers of gaming houses, and sporting men generally, sided with the real estate own ers, or citizens proper. A tremendous force was fast accumulating. The war continued to rago as the Senator left. The discharge of fire-arms was heard in every part ol the city. Martial law Las been proclaim ed, and the excitement is intense throughout Sacramento. The Gold Hunter, h aving on board Lieuten ant Gov. McDougal, came down to Benicia last evening and was to return immediately with troops and arms. Couriers have been started to San Jose, and the Governor will probably repair at once to the scene of riot Our military citizen companies in the State will probably he required to march under arms to Sacramento. It appears the squatters were proceeding to liberate two of their party confined on board the prisonslup, where they had been committed the day previous, when they were confronted by Mayor Bigelow and the members of the Corpora tion. A little gir! was wounded in the street by a chance ball. The squatters were assembling at the corner of J and Ninth streets in delibera tion, and it was feared an attempt would be made to destroy the city by fire. Sheriff Me Kin ney was shot through the arm. Later—Sacramento City in Ashes!— Just as the steamer Carolina was getting under way (about 4 p. m.) a despatch was received on board from the Pacific News office, stating that an express had just arrived, bringing the intelli gence that Sacramento had been reduced to ash es, and the squatters were receiving reinforce ments of men from the mines. The despatch as referred to was received by Mr. Norcross, assistant editor of the Pacific Sews, who reached New York on Friday night in the Philadelphia. He considered it entirely reliable. At the time the Carolina left, fifty United States soldiers had left Benicia for the scene of battle, and two volunteer companies in San Francisco had also offered their services to maintain order. w [Telegraphed for the Charleston Mercury.] Arrival ot the Canada.

Our last report left the Cotton market in a rather dull and drooping state, the number of buyers being very limited, though at the same time there was but a light stock on the market. Since then the supplies have come in rather more freely, and the accounts by the Pacific being unfavorable, our market has yielded to a slight decline, though still without effecting sales to much ex tent, the entire business of the week summing up about 5,500 bales, (of which 2000 bales were sold yesterday,) taken for England, France, the Continent, and some few parcels for the North.

D I E I> , In this city, on Sunday morning, the 22d of Septem ber, Mrs. Sarah Antoinette, wife of Hampton S. Smith, one of our oldest and most respected citizens. Mrs. Smith was the daughter of Wiliiam and Elizabeth A. Redd, and was born in Green County, Ga., on the 2d of May, 1806. She was married to Mr. Smith in October, 1825, and since August, 1828, has been a mem ber of the -Methodist Episcopal Church. The deceased needs no eulogy in this community. The intercourse of years with those who knew her, ha written indelibly upon the hearts of her numerous friends, the memory of tier many and exalted virtues. The sacred circle of a happy home has been ruthlessly in vaded by tho destroyer, and it weeps a loss indeed irre parable. But the bereaved family does not weep alone. Mrs. Smith was quiet and unostentatious in her manners, generous in all her impulses, and kind in her intercourse with all around her. Hence, she probably did not have an acquaintance, who was not. also, a friend. But emin ent as were her domestic and social virtues, they were but the reflected light of a soul fully animated with pure and undefiled religion. In the service of her Re deemer, she was as quiet and unpretending, as in the dis play of her other excellencies; but sno did not serve Him less faithfully, and was not less blessed in that ser vice, because her devotion was noiseless. She died, as she had for many years lived, with a full assurance of faith in the Christian’s sure reward. Tribute of Respect. At a meeting of the “City Light Guards.” hold on the 24th inst., the dehth of Major WILLIS M. REEVES, having been announced, the following tribute of respect to his memory, was offered by Lieut. Alex. C. Morton, unanimously approved and adopted by the Company: Guards! Again, and for the fourth time, during the present year, are we called upon to follow to the tomb one who was lately with us,in the prime of health and, manly vigor. Our comrade-in-arms, private Willis M. Reeves, is no more! He died on yesterday evening, after a lingering illness, which he bore with the calmness of a soldier and the resignation of a Christian. In a time of peace to our country, wo find ourselves engaged in sanguinary conflict with a foe more to be dreaded than “an army with banners.” His approaches, though gradual and heralded, have proved always sure—before them our outposts have been forced—our flanks turned— our centre pierced ! Forewarned, we have been unable to arm against--his arrows; at their deadly shock the stoutest armour crumbles as snow-flakes in a torrent. Therefore, Resolved, That by the death of private Reeves, this company has sustained the heavv loss of a faithful soldier and friend—his family that of an affec tionate husband—father —son —and society, a worthy citizen—“ Death loves a shining mark.” Resolved, That we condole with the afflicted rela tives of the deceased, upon their bereavement, and that the secretary be requested to furnish them with a copy of these resolutions. Resolved, That we will attend the funeral of our de ; ceased comrade, in a body, this afternoon, at 3 o’clock, and will wear the usual mourning for thirty days. Resolved, That these proceedings be published in the city papers. A true extract from the Minutes. JOEL T. SCOTT, Secy & Trea.

FOR THE CURE OT Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whoop ing. Coughs, Croup, Aslhnaand Consujnplion. This truly valuable remedy for all diseases of the lungs and throat, has become the chief reliance of the afflicted as it is the most certain cure known for the above complaints. While it is a powerful remedial agent in the most desperate and almost hopeless cases of Consumption, it is also, in diminished doses, one of the mildest and most ogreeablo family medicines for com mon coughs and colds. Read below tho opinion of men who are known to tho world, and the world respect their opinions. From Professor Hitchcock. James C. Ayer —Sir: I have used your “Cherry Pectoral” in iny own case of deep seated Bronchitis, and am satisfied from its chemical constitution that it is an admirable compound tor the relief of laryngial and bronchial difficulties. If my opinion as to it* superior character can be of any service you are at liberty to use it as you think proper. EDWARD HITCHCOCK, L, L. D., President of Amherst College. From the ‘■■London Lancet ” “Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral” is one ofthe most val uable preparations that has fallen under our notice. After a careful examination, yve do not hesitate to say we have a large appreciation of its mcnts and the fullest conli dence in its usefulness for coughs and lung complaints.” Dr. Brewster, of Windham co., Conn., sends us the following testimony: Dr. J. C. Ayer—Dear Sir: I enclose you a certificate from Mrs. Catharine K. Cady, a highly respectable lady of this village, wile of Mr. Seth Cady, Deputy Sheriff, Windham co., Conn. The cure in her case was very prompt, and has attracted general attention. W. A. BREWSTER, M. D. West Killingly, Ct., Sept. 23, 1843. This may certify that I was afflicted with a very severe cough in the winter of ’47-8. which threatened to ter minate in consumption. I had tried many medicines in vain, and was cured by the use of “Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral.” CATHARINE K. CADY. Direct Evidence. Dr. J. C. Ayer, Lowell—Dear Sir: Feelingunder obli gations to you for the restoration of’ my health, I send you a report of my ca-e, which you are at liberty to publish for the benefit of others. Last autumn I took a bad cold, accompanied by a severe cough, and made use of many medicines without obtaining rebel. I was obliged to give up business, frequently raised blood, and could get no sleep at night. A friend gave me a bottle of your Cherry Pectoral, the u.-e of which I immediately commenced according to directions I have just pur chased the fifth bottle, and am nearly recovered. I now sleep well, my cough has ceased, and ail by the use of your valuable medicine. E. S. STONE, A. M., Principal Mt. Hope Seminary. From Dr. Bryant, Druggist and Postmaster, Chicopee Falls, Mass: Dr. J. G. Ayer—Dear Sir: Enclosed please find re mittance for all the Cherry Pectoral last sent me. I can unhesitatingly say, that no medicine we sell gives \ such satisfaction as youris does ; nor have 1 ever seen a medicine which cured so many cases of cough and lung complaint?. Our physicians are using it extensively in their practice, and with the happiest effect 3 . Truly yours, D. M. BRYANT. Prepared by J. C. AYER, Chemist, Lowell, Mass.
