The New Part*.
To-night is the time fixed upon, and Philadel
phia the place for the inauguration of a “Constitu
tional Union Party.” Edward Everett, J.
Crittenden and Millard Fillmore, it is announced,
will officiate in the ceremony of its birth. We are
curious to know what necessity exists to call forth
this movement and shall, therefore await, with
some degree of interest, its declaration of princi
ples and plan of action. Our curiosity is excited
only in view of the fact, that it is expected to
command Southern co-operation. Asa North
ern movement, it might be a good thing, fiur ir.
that section there is certainly an abundance of
material to act upon. But, at the South we
know nobody who wants anything not plainly
guaranteed in the Constitution, and no one who
would not, as a matter of choice, accept the
Union with the Constitution. There is a class,
however, of our fellow-citizens, who are even
more generous than that we have above indica
ted, who, if they cannot get all they want, will
take what they can get, and lie down as compla
cently as though they had the lion’s share. If
we may be pardoned for prejudicing the case, we
will venture that it is from this fraction of our
people, the new party expects support —men who
are willing to take the Union with whatever sac
rifice of the Constitution. They have some faith
ful representatives in the editorial profession,
whose terror at the prospect of dissolving the
Union, has run them almost mad ; who have an
idea that if the dreadful thing were “did,” every
Southern man would have a halter about his neck
in less than a week. They are to be known by a
frequent indulgence in school boy rhetoric, in
which the “glorious Union/’ “Stars and Stripes,”
‘‘the government founded and defended by Wash
ington and Jefferson,” “the bonos of our sires,”
“blood and thunder,” minglo in the delightful
confusion. The substance of their political teach
ings is, that come what may, the Union shall
stand. Mind now, if this is not the treatment
the new doctors proposo. •
Wrong by the Record.
The Savannah Republican, differing with the
Enquirer, accords some degree of praise to those
democrats who were willing to bury minor differ
ences of opinion and unite with their American
friends in the effort to defeat a Black Republican.
ourselves.
But there is one fact in respect to which, we
think, both have erred. The Republican declares,
and the Enquirer would create the impression,
that, if a chance for the election of a democrat
had bowu presented, the American vote would
have concentiated upon him. This statement is
contradicted by the fact that a proposition for a
coalition was made by the democrats to the Ameri
cans and refused by the latter. The terms of the
proposition were, that the democracy would first
unite upon the American nominee, and failing
to elect, tho Americans were to vote for tho De
mocratic candidate.
The same state of things was shown by tho
speech of Mr, Etheridge of Tenn., in which he
declared that the Republicans was more conser
vative and constitutional than the Democratic
party, which statement was well received and ap
plauded in an Americau caucus.
Com. Stockton on tlic Issues of the Day.
The Commodore contends that the invasion of
Virginia is the direct result of such teachings as
those of Theodore Parker, from whose recent
letter, dated at Rome, he makes liberal extracts ;
and while exculpating tho great body of the Re
publican party from responsibility of Brown’s
acts, still holds that that party has bceir .led “by
its master spirits”from one stage of excitement to
another, “until it has reached that point in which
a further advance must he over the broken and
dismembered fragments of a once glorious
Union.”
Tho Commodore then draws a horrid picture of
the evils which impend over the South, thus :
“Against those designs aud results tho South
stands as one man on the defensive—they clearly
perceive and fully appreciate the impending dan
gers which tiing their awful shadows over the
whole breadth of their beautiful country. The
horrors of a St. Domingo tragedy threaten to
make desolate their homes; to drench their peace
ful plains with blood —to light up their midnight
skies with the conflagration of their cities and
plantation villages, aud to cpnvert their faithful
and contented domestics into iucarnate fiends,
inviting (after rivers of blood have flowed) their
own extermination.”
“In this defensive attitude of the South, he
says:
“I, for one, will stand by them as a friend, to
the last gasp of my existence, and if a dissolution
of the Union is inevitable, then I would have the
lines of separation drawn along the Hudson and
the lakes, rather thau the Potomac and the Ohio.
I have no doubt that in such an event the North
western States would unite with New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and the South. I will stand by
them, because they are right; I stand by them
because they have the Constitution and the law
on their side. On these bulwarks we will plant
our standard, and defy the hosts of fanatics. The
questions at issue now between the South and the
Anii-Slavcry party seem to be few bJtt of great
importance. The South demandsjthat the decision
of the Supreme Court of the United States shall
be recognized as supreme law—that the Fugitive
slave law shall be executed—and that they shall
be free to take their slaves into the Territories |
which are the common property of the United
States.’’ r
The Lawrence Sufferers.— We see it stated
in our exchanges, that the contributions in aid of
the sufferers by the fall of the Pemberton Mills,
amounted, by the last accounts, to forty thou
sand dollars. We also learn that the city of
\ icksburg, Miss., has moved ia their behalf,
Merchant*’ Meeting In Atlanta-Resolntlons
At a late meeting held in Atlanta, by the
Merchants of that city, tfie subjoined resolutions j
‘■were adopted. We shall bail with exultation the 1
day, if it ever comes, when New York, or any
Northern city, shall cease to he a market for
Southern Merchants. Until that day shall ar
rive, it would be well, if we could find them out,
to patronize only such men in the North as are
friendly to us. This course, however, it must be
admitted, would create a powerful inducement to
hypocrisy. Many would seem what they are not
in order to get the Southern dollar:
Resolved, That the merchants of Atlanta, here
present, do earnestly recommend that all com- j
mercial intercourse shall cease with those houses i
in the Northern States who are waging war on
the agricultural and commercial resources of the
South, and who belong to a political organiza
tion, whose design is to destroy the system of la- j
bor existing in our State. Be it further,
Resolved, That we recommend the establish- |
ment of a Mercantile Association in our city,
through whose agency we shall be enabled to as- :
certain the character of every commercial house
at the North offering to do business at the South ;
that we shall feel it to be our duty to buy goods
from our friends, and not from our enemies.
Resolved, That we, as merchants of Atlanta,
in dispensing our patronage to merchants of the
North, will carefully avoid all firms which as a
whole or by the acts and influence of any mem
ber of said firm contribute either by their votes,
their influence, or their money, to the success of
the Republican party, but will give our patronage
to such houses only as are known to be in favor
of the Constitution as it is, and of respecting the
rights of the South as thus guaranteed.
Resolved further, That so far as in us lies, wo
will induce other Southern merchants to comply
with the foregoing resolution.
Ax Abolitionist Driven out of New Jer
sey.—The Trenton American says that on the
21st ult., an Abolitionist named Coates attempt
ed to deliver an Abolition lecture in Haddonfield,
Camden county, and advertised his intentions by
handbills on the same day. A large number of
citizens collected at the place of meeting, and in
terrupted his harangue by bootings, yells and
hisses; and upon his persisting to be heard, they
took hold of him and threatened him with a
coat of tar and feathers. After offering him a
number of indignities, lia*- consented to leave
promising never to return.

COLUV mTa T ANARUS"“
A Dave been intending for some time to write
you a line with reference to a subject which is at
the present time creating great interest in tho
minds of our Southern merchants. The question
with them is, “who, among the New York mer
chants, are for and who against them?” for they
are determined not to enter the establishments of
those where there is a question as to the sound
ness of their principles upon the institutions of
the South. You may rely upon it that Southern
men will have no business transactions with those
houses where there is the slightest suspicion of
their being tainted with the doctrines of abolition
ism. Tho last three months have enabled mo to
see much of the true position of the colored race,
so far as regards the care taken of them by their
owners, and their own individual comforts; and,
in spite of my preconceived opinions cf slavery,
I have been compelled to come to the conclusion
that they are a truly happy race, and that their
owners, both in the North and in Europe, have
been most falsely represented. There are hun-,
dreds of slaves in this city (Columbus, Ga ) who
would not accept of their freedom were it offered
them ; and the greatest insult you can offer them
is to speak against their owners.
The President's Message in England.
The English papers had not said much in re
gard to the President's message, as the docu
ment only reached London the day before the
Nova Scotian sailed, although a brief telegraph
ic summary from Queenstown had been previous
ly published.
Tho London Daily News, commenting’ on tho
summary, says that there appears no reason to
complain of tho manner in which the President
deals with the general relations between Eng
land and the United States.
Iu the London Times’ city article it is remark
ed that the President’s recommendation, that a
military force bo employed against Mexico, ex
ercised influence on Mexican stock,
owing to the knowledge that the matter does not !
rest in any degree on the will of the President.
The London Herald’s city article remarks that
the* Message, in the financial aspect, was not
regarded as of a hopeful character, especially in
reference to any deficiency which might lead to
an increase in import duties.! The Manchester
Guardian does not approve of the manner in
which the President has treated the San Juan
dispute. It thinks he ought to have explicitly
disapproved of Ham ?y’s proceeding, although it
regards the praise accorded to the British Admiral
as by implication a most severe censure of Har
ney.
Other prominent provincial journals somewhat
qualify the praise they accord the document, i
European Affairs.
The New York Journal of Commerce devotes
a leader to the “Difficulties before the European
Congress,” from which we extract the following:
“Such a Congress is powerful just so far as °it
truly represents the public opinion of Europe.
At best, it is a mere deliberative body, taking
counsel on, and giving advice to, the claims of ri
val States, and utterly destitute of the power,
without which law is a nullity, to enforce its de
crees. Its only jurisdiction is founded on the
moral sentiment of the nations; and, when the
materials which compose it are so heterogeneous
that there is no real uuity of opinion, an end is
put to the moral obligation. A majority o: one ,
or two votes would command neither respect nor |
obedience; nor would it restrain any movement !
in behalf of the integrity of the Papal States, 1
should the friends of the Pope rally to his sup
port. It differs in every respect from the Con
gress of Vienna, whose proceeding it is to re
view; for that Congress represented, net States
separated in interest and isolated in policy; but a
great army and a great victory : it was an armed
tribunal assembled to partitiDU the spoils of a
successful war, and to transfer the title deeds of
territory and power acquired by the right of con
quest.
“But the greatest difficulty to be apprehended
for the fortunate issue of the Congress affects Ita
ly more than the rest of Europe.” She has much
to appTebend, and little to expect, from a body
of diplomatists, so constituted. Why should she
enter a Congress where the first question raised
will be as to the propriety of restoring her to her
statu quo ante Vellum f What is the propriety ot
compelling the independent Duchies and the
Romagna to submit the question of their freedom,
already an accomplished fact, to the adjudication
of the powers of Europe? Why should prelimi
nary questions, once settled ny the force of arms,
beTeopened and reviewed by diplomacy ? These
are the risks which Central Italy, now protected
by her own army and by the pledges of the
French Emperor as against the armed interven
tion of Austria, has to apprehend from the Con
gress If a permanent settlement can only be ob
tained by running these risks, a Congress must
be held, and we must hope for the best; but it
seems cruel and UDjust that Central Italy, armed
and protected as she is, and so strong in her moral
position, should not be allowed to carry out her
wise and united policy, without the intervention
of foreign diplomacy. She is doing exactly
what our ancestors, English and Americans, did,
and is just as much entitled t> mould and control
her own agairs. The Dew Central State, erected
out of the Duchies and the Romagna, stands be
fore Europe thoroughly organized and armed, and
prepared to protect herself; her people have de
sired, have earned, and have voted for a great
and united kingdom under the constitutional
reign of Victor Emanuel, and a concession of
anything less on the part of the Congress would
be a robbery of her rights and a violation of the
principles recognized by all civilized nations. As
to the contemplated reforms in the city of Rome,
and the limitation of the temporal power of the
Pope, that is a matter which rests entirely within
the control of Louis Napoleon ; for he has only
to withdraw or to threaten to withdraw his army
from the capital, to secure all necessary conces
sions. The dismissal of Count Walewski augur*
| well for the good faith of the Emperor on this
i point,—the most perplexing connected with the
j Italian question ; but which the Pope and bis
j subjects, if let alone, can satisfactorily fight out
| and settle, without the necessity of a Congress
‘ made up of the most opposite religious creeds.’
Cottc-ii Growing in china.
Sir John Bowring in a recently published
work, incidentally alludes to the cotton growing
capabilities of China, which are gieater even
than those of India; and he therefore thinks
China far more likely than Africa to make up tjie
present deficiency in the of cotton. Ho
says:
The capabilities of British India are great, and
the elements of success are there; but the capa
bilities of China |are vastly greater, and I be
lieve that as in two or three years China was
able to send raw silk to the value of £IO,OOO into
the market, and immediately to make up for the
absence of the European supply, so to China we
may hereafter look for a boundless supply of raw
cotton. She now clothes more than 850,000 of
her people from her own cotton fields. The pri
ces in China are so nearly on a level with those
of India that, though they allow an importation
to the yearly value of £2,000.000 or £3,000,000
sterling in the southern province of China, im
portations into the northern are scarcely known.
The quality, modes of cultivation, of cleaning, of
packing, are all susceptible of great improve
ments. Their interests will make the Chinese
teachable, and the Yang-tee-Iviang may be the
channel for tho solution of the cotton difficulty,
French Cotton Manufacturers.
The French Journals, the week before the Eu
ropa sailed, wgre very generally occupied with
the proposed reform in the |tariff. The Journal
des Debats in particular attacks the prohibitive
system, in reference to two articles of French
manufacture, which are stated to be seriously
affected by its enactments—printed cotton and
tulles. For the former to prosper, it merely re
quires to have the unstamped calico, at a price
not exceeding that; obtained Jn other countries,
otherwise it cannot compete in foreign markets
with tho English, Swiss, Prussian or Belgian
productions. The writer adds:
umoriunateiy zor tne French manufacturers of
printed cottons, the spinners possess a tie facto
monopoly of fabrication caused by the tariff'which
practically excludes twist fit for the manufacture
of calico. So that, prov dad there be an active
demand in France for twist, the cotton spinners
are absolute masters of the price, and sell at what
rate they phase. In that way they make bril
liant profits, but they effectually prevent tho
production of printed stuffs for exportation. At
present this important branch of manufacture
cannot be worked as it ought, as it has not
enough of calico, its first requirement. But the
so-ealled protectors of national labor are enchant
ed; the soil of their country is not polluted by
contact with the calicoes of perfidious Albion.
Just the same take place with respect to French
tulles, which at present cannot be manufactured
for exportation. Some of the Calais houses,
se ing that the longer they delay the worse they
would find their position, have emigrated to Bel
gium, and there established their penates. Here,
then is an important branch of industry, the pro
perty of which would be beyond any doubt not
only satisfactory, but brilliant.

Defenders of 1812.—Gen. John S. Van
Rensselaer has called a convention of the soldiers
of the war of ISI2, of the State of New York, to
be held at the American hotel, in Albany, on tho
Ist of February inst. A similar State Conven
tion is to be held at Indianapolis during the
same month. Over a hundred of the soldiers of
the war of ISI2, of Ohio, met in State Conven
tion at Columbus on the 10th ult. Much atten
tion was shown them. They attended the Senate
and House, by special invitation. Resolutions
were adopted calling on Congress to pass a Pen
sion act for the soldiers and the widows of these
defenders who served in the late war, and the
proceedings ordered to be forwarded to both
Houses of Congress. Among the resolutions ad
opted was one to vote for no candidate for Presi
dent but a known friend to a Pension bill. A
similar State Convention will be held in the city
of Philadelphia on tho 22d of February next, the
birthday of Washington, when a general atten
dance is expected.
Millionaire Elopem ntsnin England.
Alluding to the elopem< nt of Mrs. Gurney with
her footman, which has created so much sensa
tion in England, the Loudon Observer says:
The lady left her husband a note, in which
she consigns to his care her two children, and
regrets that her passion for her paramour com
pels her to follow the bent oft or inclination 3.
The husband has already adopted measures to
obtain a divorce. Under the new act a portion
of this lady’s property can be settled by the
Court npon her children.
The second case of elopement is very deplora
ble. A millionaire, in Kent, and a large land
owner had a daughter upon whom he was pre
pared to bank his fortune. This young lady was
wooed and won by .the curate of* the parish in
! which she resided. The reverend gentleman
wished to make her his wife, but the father res
olutely refused, and eventually she was induced
to marry a rich Dutch merchant. Upon her
marriage her father settled £IOO,OOO npon her.
The lady was married about four years, and a
fortnight since eloped with her former admirer,
the parson.

By the arrival of the steamship Baltic at New

On December 22 a battle was fought on the
Barranca de Beltian, near Colima. Miramon led
on the Conservatives, and brought into the ac

command of Rocha Rojas and Ogazon. T4e
action commenced at 9 A. M. and lasted until 2

wounded, and the conservatives 300. Miramon
captured five field pieces and 2,000 prisoners,with
a large amount of ammunition. On the 24th he
took possession of Colima, and sent a detach
ment to Manzanilla, seized two vessels—Gener
al Vega and La Suerte—and armed them; destin
ation supposed to be Mazatlan.
