through a Uttiori ticket. It was not as Democrats
that they ngreod to sustain them. Dissatisfied with
tho nationnl whig nomination, and anxious to pro-
sorvo tho Union organization, thoy wore induced to

Democratic nominees. In taking this stop, thoy
wore particular to announce that they did not sur

fore! Who cau make sense of tho resolution?
The question was, in tho first placo, entirely mis
stated. It has never beon tbo intention of the Brit
ish Government to contest tho rights which Amer
ican fishermen have been enjoying under the treaty
of 1818 for upwards of thirty years, but merely to
protect tho rights reserved to our own fisheries, and
expressly renounced by the United States by that
convention. Mr. Cass wont so far os to assert that
tho “treaty was now ovor thirty years old, and that .

not specified in the treaty. It is deplorable to see
popular prejudices inflamed by Buch gross mis
statements as this.
It proceeds then to review tho provisions of tbe
treaty, and concludes with tho following remarks:
Wo entertain no doubt os to the right in this
case, or os to the language of tho treaty, which is

Further, thoro is no timo at which it is so unadvisa-
bio to engage in diplomatic disputes, or even in
negotiations with tho American government, os in
that period which immediately precedes the elec
tion of a President. Tho existing government will
‘ not'commit itself to any positive engagements;
tbo candidates lor power on both sides are eager
to work upon tho oxcitablo national feelings of tho
public, and to raise a cry oven of war for elec
tioneering puposca; tho government which will
have'to deal seriously with the subject is not yet
installed in ofiico, or oven sure of obtaining it.—
Wo cannot suppose that this step, with reference to
the fisheries, lias been takon from any motive so
absurd and injudicious as tho idoa, that wo can
drive the Americans into a commercial treaty by a
squadron of light vessels on tho Banks of New
foundland, or. in tho Bay of Fundy. Indood, ono of
tho points of which wo complain in tho debate in
the United States Senate is, that this contemptible
meanwhilo, was to be impressed with the idea that
tho condition of tho old world rendered it necessary
for us to take care of ourselves. And generally,
foreigners in this country, os well as “tho rest of
mankind,” wero to understand it as a simplo ex
pression of tho interest and curiosity of tho Demo
cratic party in regard to tho people of Europe.
In all seriousness, tho resolution is unworthy of a
great party. It is an insult to tho interventionist
and llio non-interventionist—to tho foreigner and
tho native born citizen. Tho Convention trifled
with tho people when it adopted it. Upon a mat
ter of so much importance, it should havo spoken
out distinctly and manfully, and not havo sought to
bo “all things to all men.” Its failure to do so, is
sufficient reason to authorize all who oppose tho
^ , fanatical schemes of Kossuth, to withhold thoir

Address of the Executive Committee,
To the Consttutional Union Party of Ucorgia.
Tho Constitutional Union Party of Georgia was
organized to maintain tho docision of tho Georgie
Convention of 1850, in favor of tho finality of the
Compromise. That object has been accomplished,
and tho members of tho party lmvo tho satisfaction
of realizing tho complete triumph of thoir princi-
es, ns oxhibitod in tho action of tho two National
Conventions, which recently assembled in Balti
more, and in tho additional fact, that thoro now
exists in Georgia no organized opposition to thoso
principles. Under these circumstances, whon tho
ate union Convention assembled in Milledgeviile,
t was tho opinion of a largo number of that body,
that tho timo had arrived, when there should bo a
peaceful dissolution of tho party, in consideration
of tho fact, that tho noccasity For its oxistcnco no
longer continued. A diflbrent policy, however, was
adopted under tho delusivo hopo that tho organiza
tion could be continued and its integrity preserved^
by tho support of tho democratic nominees for Pres
ident and Vico President. Tho convention had
scarcely adjourned, when demonstrations of oppo
sition to its action, by the entire Union Whig
Press of tho Slate, indicated too clearly that that
portion of tho parly whoso sentiments nnd feelings
wero made known through theso channels, was ir
reconcilably opposed to tho decision of tho Con
vention, and would novor yield evon an acquies
cence in its action. Tho call for tho Conventions
of the 17th nnd 18th and tho responso mndo to
those calls by tho Union Whigs throughout tho
State, and in somo portions of tho State approxi
mating unanimity of sentiment among them, wore
well calculated to prepare tho public mind for tho
recent action of those bodies. It cannot bo dis
guised that tho groat mass of tho whig party, havo
tius withdrawn themselves from tho Union organi
zation, and havo laid tho foundation lor tho ro-or-
panization of the whig party in our State, if indeed,
that result may not bo regarded as already consum
mated. This State of things leaves tho Constitu
tional Union Party in the hands of tho Union De
mocracy and thoso Union Whigs-who aro deter
mined to givo thoir votes nnd support to tho Na
tionnl Democratic nominocs. Whether there yet
remains in tho organization a majority or not of its
original members, is a problem wo will not at
tempt to solve. Tho mere expression of a doubt
upon that point is sufficient to justify tho courso wo
havo felt it our duty to pursuo in tho matter.
Tho undersigned wore appointed an Executive
Committee, by tho late Union Convention, and
from their position havo not been innttentivo ob
servers of tno events to which wo havo now called
tho public attention; nor havo wo failed to inform
ourselves, as far as it was practicable, of tho views
and opinions of those who still remain truo to tho
action of tho Union pnrty. In viow of these facts,
and with tho aid of all tho lights at our command,
wo havo come to tho deliberate conclusion that tho
Constitutional Union Party is virtually and practi
cally dissolved; and that its iongor continuance
would bo delusive, and productive of no good.
- Wo mako no argumont, and offer no comment;
but submit a plain statement of lacts, with an una
voidable conclusion necessarily resulting irom thoso
facts.
In anticipation of this state of things, a corre
spondence was opened with tho members of tho
Eloctoral Ticket put forth by tho lato Union Con
vention, and wo leel ourselves authorized and do
hereby withdraw that ticket.

Of a Portion of the Executive Committee to the
Union Democracy and Union Whigs, friends of
Pierce and King.
In common with tho other members of the Exocu
tivo Committoo of tho Constitutional Union Party,
we havo formally announced tho dissolution of that
party, and withdrawn its electoral ticket. This
state of things presents an important question for
tho consideration and decision of tho Union Dem
ocracy of tho State, and thoso Union Whigs who
stand indentified with us in tho support of tho Na
tional Democratic Noininoes. Determined to givo
our support to tho election of Pierco and King, ont
sincerely anxious so to cast our votes and exert our
influence, os will best insure, not only their success
in the present election, but tho effoctivo support of
their administration, in tho event of their election—
a result not to bo doubted—wo are now called upon
to consider in what manner this can bo done, most
consistent with our feolings f |ind principles. It is
not for us to decide that question: our official char
acter ceased with the party whoso organ wo had
been appointed. But identified in feeling and prin
ciples with thoso to whom wo mako this address,
we feel anxious that there should bo union and cor
diality of action, in whatever courso may bo adopt-
cp. Indeed, this is necessary to givo power and
efficiency to our action. To secure the voto or
Georgia for Pierco and King, over all opposition
arrayed against them, is tho paramount considera
tion. There can bo no doubt that a very decided
majority of tho people aro agreed in tho necessity
and propriety of so casting tho vote of tho State.
But it cannot bo disguised that there exist difficul
ties in tho way of a warm and cordial co-operation
of all tho friends of Pierco and King, which threat
en to weaken their strength, nnd lessen tho mor
al power and influence which, under other circum
stances, would bo attained by united action. We
do not regard these difficulties as insuperable, how-
over formidable they may appear at tho first glanco.
They will bo found to grow smaller nnd less obsti
nate, as approached in tho spirit of truo patriotism
nnd devotion to tho great end sought to bo accom
plished.
Wo now appeal to the Union Domocrncy and
thoso Union Whigs, who nro for Pierco and King,
to meet together m council, and thoro dotormine. in
tho spirit which wo havo sought to invoke, what
ought to be, nnd shall be, our future courso of policy.
Wo suggest and propose that this meeting shall tako
placo at Atlanta, ON SATURDAY THE 18TH
of SEPTEMBER next.
It will not bo nccctsary to go through with tho
formality of county meetings. Wo doubt not tha
n sufficient number of our friends can bo assemble
thoro at that time, from the different sections of tho
State, familiar with the sentiments of tho pcoplo on
the subject, and as fully empowered to speak for
thorn as thoy would bo, if appointed by u county
meeting, composed, as is usually tho case, of a very
few persons compared with tho voters of tho coun
ty who favor tho movement.
By tho timo thnt this proposed mooting shall as
semble we shall know in what spirit our movements
for conciliation and compromise will be received by
tlto friends and supporters of tho Electoral Ticket
now in the field. It will afford to them an oppor

afternoon ho invited a gontloman from tho upoountry,
who is stopping ot tho Marshall House, to tako a
rido with him—ho hiroing tho enrringo from Messrs.
Brown & Harris, of this place. They procoodcd
to Thunderbolt, whore R. got his companion intox
icated, and While in that state rotiovod him of about
8190 in monoy, and a volunblo watch. Ho thon
deserted him and drovo up to tho city, sinco which
ho has loft for parts unknown. Tho polico officers
havo a clue to ffis whereabouts, nnd will prob
ably succeed in arresting him. It is said that Rol
lins is a confederate of Dr. Hines, who is now
confined in jail, and that ho has frequently boon in
just such scrapes ns tho abovo. Ho is also said to
bo quito a genteel looking mnn, with a pleasant ad
dress. It is hopod tho officers will succeed in ar
resting him, nnd that ho will bo mndo an oxaniplo
of. Wo suspect there is a gang of such scamps
in our midst, and tho sooner it is dispersed, tho hot
ter it will bo for tho public.
The New Postage Law.—Tho now bill as
amended in the Senate is as follows: If concurred
in by the Houso, of which there is no reasonable
doubt, it will bocomo a law:
“ Newspapers, periodicals, and printed matter
not exceeding throo ounces in woight, shall bo sont
to any part of tho United States tor ono cent, and
for any additional ounco or fraction ofnn ounco ono
cent;andwhorotho poatago is paid quarterly’or
regularly in advnnco either at tho ofiico whoro tho
Bald newspaper or periodical is mailed ordolivorod,
one-half of said rates only shall bo charged.—
Nowspapors not wolghing ovor ono ounco and a
half whon circulated in tho State whoro published
shall bo chanted ono:half ol tho rates bofore named.
Provided, Thnt small nowspapore, published
monthly or oftner. whon sont in packuges to ono
address prepared by affixing stomps thereto, shall
bo chorgoablo at half a cent for oach ounco or trac
tion of an ounco. The postngo on nil transient
matter shall bo prepaid or charged doublo tho foro r
going ratos.
The Postage on toe Refubican.—Tho postago
on our short to regular subscribers, undor tho abovo
law (as it weighs less than 14 ounco) will bo re
duced nearly ono half. For oxamplo, tho present
postago for our doily paper to most points in Geor
gia, is 50 cents a quarter. Undor this now law.it
will be, it wo road it aright, 194 conts a quarter, the
number ot papers issued in that timo being about
78. To Now York, tho postago on our daily is
now 75 cents a quarter. Tho now law reduces it to
39 cents a quarter. For our tri-wcokJy to subscri
bers, it will bo only ono half tho abovo rates.
As tho Republican weighs more than ono ounco,
it now passes for two ounces,and pays under tho ex
isting law, (when sont os transient matter) 2 cents
for nny distanco not exceeding 500 miles, whilo to
Now York, or nny othor distanco not exceeding
1500 miles, tho extraordinary price of 4 conts for
each copy is paid. It will be seen that tho now
law is very lenient on transient papers.
From our Now-York Correspondent.
NBW-YORK, AUGUST 91.
Tho stcamor Pacific, Capt. Nyc, sailed at noon
to-day, with ninety passengers and $616,000 in spo-
cio, for Liverpool. Among the passengers is Capt.
Franklin Buchanan, U. S. Navy, who proceeds, un
der ordors from tho Navy Department, by tho over
land routo to Hong Kong. Capt. U., on his arrival
out, will tako command of tho U. S. steanior Sus-
quehannah, relievo Com. Aulick, and ossumo tho
tho temporary command of our East India squad
ron, until Com. Ferry, in tho Mississippi, reaches
that station.
Tho monoy market is a little more strinccnt,
though tho supply of capital continues abundant.
Tho season for nctivo business having arrived, thoro
is more paper offering, and tho prospect of a still
larger supply causes capitalists to draw up thoir
purse-Btrings somewhat. Tho continued firmness
in tho Exchango market would indicate larger
shipments of coin, which, as usual, may tend to a
slight curtnilmont and a little moro caution on tho
partoi tho banks. Tho quotation for 1st class paper,
Bhort date, is 5 per cent., and 54 a 6 per cent, for do.
4 a 6 months.
There has been a good deal of activity in tho
Breadstuff markot, sinco my last, and prices of
Flour havo advanced 374 a 50 conts per bbl., nnd
whoat at a corresponding ratio. This movement
was caused by tho unfavorable advices from tho
othor sldo of tho Atlantic, in relation to tho wheat
crop in England and provalcnco of tho potato rot in
Ireland. Ordinaly Btato Flour in nulling at 94.25
84,374, Western at $4,184 a $4,374, and Southern
at $4,44 n $4,624. A largo proportion of tho sales
havo boon sour nnd inferior grades, foroxpoit, at
$3,50 a $3,75. This description of flour is not used
hero except for making starch, but in Livorpool it
is mixed with good flour, and sold ns No. 2 Super
fine. Whoat is selling at $1,08 a 81,14 for Gone-
see; 81,00 a $1,0-1 for Ohio and Michigan; $1 for
Southern,nnd 674 n75c. for mixed Wostom. Tho
soles this forenoon reached eighty thousand bush
els, chiefly for oxport. Tho stock of both flour and
wheat is light, and with a continuance of tho pre
sent activo demand,prices will probably go higher,
notwithstanding tho enhanced rates of freight to
Liverpool.
Tho ship Robert Center, owned by Robert Cen
ter, Esq. of this city, took fire Inst night at ton
o’clock, and had to be scuttled to prevent total de
struction. Sho was loading tor San Francisco, and
had about half her cargo, consisting of dry goods,
liquors,Sec., on board. Tho damage is about $75,000
on vcssol nnd cargo, which is fully covorcd by in
surance in tho various offices in Wall street.
Tho imports of dry goods, for tho week
ending lost evening, amount to $2,374,055 against
$1,771,343 for tho corresponding period of last
year. Tho imports sinco the first of January
Inst amount to $41,416,692, against $48,104,101 last
year. It will bo observed that the imports thus for
this year nro nearly $7,000,000 below last year’s
imports. Thoro is a brisk trado in dry goods, nnd
nn immense fall trado is calculated upon. Othor
branches of business aro not quite so forward, but
all agree thnt tho state of trado generally was
never in a moro healthy condition than at present.
The total exports of specie for tho week amount
to $721,483—making for tho year thus far, $14,476,-
551.
Rice, very fino, at $5 a $5.25. Sales of tho week
500 casks. Stock very insignificant.
Our Cotton market is very firm but less nctivo.
Tho sales since my Inst aro 3,000 bales, making
total for the weok of 6,000 bales. Tho sales during
tho past two weeks have reached 30,000 bales, leav
ing us with'a reduced stock of 40.00U bales on ship
board and in first hands. Tho bulk of tho stock
now consists of grades below “Middling” and nbovo
“Good Middling,” tho proportion of good cotton bo-
ing largo for tho season at relatively lower prices,
thus inviting tho attention of shippers for Russia
and Spain, and our fino goods manufacturers.

Editors Savannah Rep’ublican .‘—I send you tho
following succinct aocount of somo. anomalies oc-
curing in an old Buck killed by mysolf, oh tho 19th
inst., supposing it may provo interesting to tho
sporting portion of your readers. This was, in tho
first placo,a very largo door, nnd I think, would havo
weighed ovor200 lbs., having a full grown hoad of
largo horns, numbering twolvo antlers or points,
and in fino, fat order. My attention was first nt-
tractod by tho sizo and singular apjmrance of tho
horns, having an unusual numbor of points,nnd each
beam boing flattened two and a half inchos in width,
from thoir baso to two thirds thoir length, whoro
thoy abruptly torminatod in points, nnd oach prang
growing out from tho main beam, was ono and a half
inch wide, and flat, .instead of boing round ns is
usual.
But tho nppoaronco of his horns was not tlto most
singular phenomena; whon ho was opened, my
attention was noxt callod to tho adhesion which
had takon placo botwoon tho posterior and lateral
portions of tho loft lung, and it was also thickly
studdod with woll dovolopod tubercles, possessing
tho usual anatomical appoaranco, os do thoso in
man,and thoro wore also somo distinct oicntriccs to
bo seen in tho snmo lobo, ovidontly the marks of
former tuborclos which had honied.
Tho most romarknblo appearance, howovor, yet
remains to bo noticod. I noxt oxsminod tho sploon
milt as it is callod in tho lowor animals. In
this I found two distinct pieces of cartilage, partly
ossified, adhering intimately to it, nnd partially im*
beded in tho subetanco of tho gland. This cartila
ginous or more properly osseous doposit,was doubt
less, tho consequence of inflatnation of tho perito
neum, which was oIbo found closely adhoroing to
tho sploon. I havo carefully preserved theso pioccs
of cartilaginous substances, with tho horns, which
may bo seen by tho curious, at my houso. Theso
singular phenomena of tho internal organization of
this animal, wore doubtloss, tho offocts of somo se
vere wound, in a chase, on a formor occasion, of
whichithadsofarrocovorod, as to exhibit noox-
tornal signs of iqjury, and us boioro stated, was in
fino ordor nnd condition.

ADDRESS OF GEN. BCOTT TO T1IE MISSISSIPPI
DELEGATION.
I fool gratified, gentlemen, at this unexpected
call, and am gratified to see before mo tho accrditcd
mon of Mississippi. Tho nomination which has
boon conferred upon mo by tho Convention of
which you wero members, is an honor greater than
I desorved, nnd whothor defeated or elected, I shall
ulwnvs regard it ns tho highest compliment which,
could bo bestowed uuon me, and os moro than re
paying mo Ibr tho little sorvico I lmvo rendered my
country. I am woll plonscd, too. gontlemon, with
ho platform you have adopted. It moots with my
rnarty and cordial approval; nnd lot mo assure
you, gontlemon, this is no new-born faith with mo.
I cars ago I entertained tho snmo sentiments ox-
prersed in thnt plutform, on tho subject of Southorn
rights. 1 can assure you that I was ono of tho first
to givo in my hearty nnd cordial approval and en
dorsement ol thoso measures when thoy wore bo-
l'oro Congress. Thero were but two othors nhond
of tno. In point of timo, In thoir advocacy and ap
proval of thoso measures. I mean Mr. Clay, nnd
nator Foote, of your State. As early as 1850,
whon first brought before Congress, 1 oponly avow
ed myself tho friend of tho measures, and thon and
since, as many, I think on nn avorngo. as five timos
a day, havo 1 oponly and publicly declared my Bon-
timonts to overy man, woman and child, who has
approached mo on tho subject. I lmvo not sought
nor havo I desired any concealment of my viowa
and opinions, in referenco to thorn, and it is a mat
ter of oxtromo astonishment to mo, that my senti
ments havo boon so grossly misrepresented, nnd
that 1 havo boon mado tho subject of such unjust
and malicious slander. My name has been coupled
with that of Mr. William H. Howard, and I nave
boon charged with entertaining sentiments in com
mon with him in rolcronco to Southorn Institutions,
othing can be moro unjust and falso. It is true,
am personally acquainted with Mr. Soward, ana
that ho is personally my friend; but I am not re
sponsible for his peculiar sentiments, nor for thoso
of any othor mnn who may see proper to support

Suicide.—Wo regret to announce tho doath of
Dr. JosEru M. Boaos,of this place, yesterday after
noon, by taking jirussic acid. Ho was found lying
on a pallet in his ofiico on Monument-square, a
few minutes bcioro 4 o'clock. To his shirt bosom
was pinned a piece of paper, containing a state
ment that ho had taken iralf an ounco of prussic
acid, and referring tho finder to Lincoln's drug
store for proof. Tho note was datod Aug. 24,1852,
half-past ono o’clock P. M. Near tho body, and
within reach, was a tumbler nnd tho vial which con
tained tho poison. Ho seems to have diod without
a struggle. Tho clerk at tbe drug store states that
tho deceased did obtain tho prussic acid thoro to
day.
Dr. Booas was a young man, in delicate health.
Possibly tho condition of his hoalth nnd want of
success in his profession may havo led him to com
mit the deed which put an ond to his life.

Tns Lock of Mr. Hobbs in England.—Tho
London correspondent of tho Philadelphia Ameri
can states that Bramah’s celebrated prize-lock has
been withdrawn from public viow. It will bo re
membered that Mr. Hobbs succeeded in picking
this lock, nnd that ho received a reward of two
hundred guineas for his skill. Tho Messrs. Bra
mah mado somo alterations nnd improvements in
tho lock, and again placod it in tho widnow in Pic
cadilly, with tho original offer of tho reward ap
pended to it. It remained in their window a few
days, when a report reached tho Messrs. Bramah
that Mr. Hobbs intended to try his luck a soeond
timo. Tho lock was immediately removed, and
has not sinco boon soon. Tho writer adds:
“ Hobbs’ patent American lock is boing manu
factured nt Birmingham. Sheffield. Wolvorhamp-
ton, and in London, in Inrgo numbers, nnd of nil
sizes, nnd at prices ranging from six shillings to
fifty pounds oncli. In a fow days the office of

in theso words .—"lam dead for the Constitution—
dead forthe Union—dead for the Compromise—
and dead against any man who is opposed to them,
or cither oj them." The Janguago used by myself
on this occasion was so nositivo and omplmtic, that
in alluding to it sinco—for ho woll remembers tho
conversation—ho has oven charged mo with rudo-
BSS.”
General Scott proceeded:
“I havo scon somo sorvico in tho causo of ou

havo ondenvorcu to gain at loast a nnmo for u r
rightness and candor; nnd I challenge tho world to

bought, word, or deed, said or dono anything to

and services shall bo forgotten, and that tho wore

River and Harbor Bill.—Tho Senate hns, by
u test voto, determined that tho River and Harbor
bill shall pass. Tho question was mado whothor
that bill or tho Civil and Diplomatic bill should ho
first taken up, and it was determined in favor of
tho former. Tho Ipsa of tho River and Harbor bill
at tho last session, was owing to its delay.
The Loss op the Atlantic.—Wo havo already
stated that thostonmor Atlantic came in collision
with tho propollcr Ogdensbnrg, Thursday night
last, on Lake Erio, and that iho formor was
lost. Tho latest accounts represent tho numbor of
pereons who perished at ono hundred nnd fifty.—
A denso fog prevailed at tho timo, nnd tho pnssen-
gore wero all in bed. Tho officore of tho steamer
aro much censured.
Immediately after tho collision, which was very
severe, tho utmost confusion prevailed among tho
steerage ond deck passengers, a very largo portion
of whom wore Norwegian emigrants, nnd sovoral,
it is thought, in tho terror nnd dnrknesa thnt pre
vailed, jumped overboardht onco. Captain Petly,
although seriously injured, with tho nssiBtanco
tho crew, ondcavorcd to calm tho fenre of tho
passengore, assuring thorn thero was no danger.
Tho steamer kopt on her courso, tho officore
hoping to bo ablo to roach port, although tho boat
was leaking badly. Tho water, howover, gained
rapidly on them, despite tho efforts of tho crow,
and by tho timo thoy had proceeded two miles from
tho spot whoro tho collision took placo, it was
found that tho vessel was rapidly sinking, tho fires
in tho engino room being extinguished by tho
wntor. A scone of torriblo confusion followed.
Tho emigrants, who could not understand a word
spokon to thorn, by thoir cries and terror, added
to tho horror of tho scono. Tho cabin passengers,
nnd all who could bo mudo to understand, wore ex
horted by tho captain and officore io remain calm
and provido themselves with chairs, settees, beds
&c., all of which wero Patent Lifo Preservers]
und would buoy thorn up in tho water. Numbore,
howovor, unheeding, nnd not understanding tho
advico given them, rushed overboard to cortain
death.
At about half-past 2 o’clock, amidst tho wild
shrieks of tho passengore, tho steamer settled
and sunk.
Tho propollor had kept in tho wake of tho At
lantic, and thoso on board of hor did all in thoir
power to presorvo tho lives of ths hundreds of hu
man beings who were now soon struggling in tho
water. The fog was a sad hindrance to thoir ef
forts, but some two hundred nnd fifty wore res-
cued from tho Lako, nnd takon by tho propollor
to Erio.
Cuban Exiles at New-Yobk.—Tho Spanish
