We took ocCMlon. last Thursday. In some general
remarks, to allude to the treatment which Northern
anti-AMition Democrat! have for years received
from a portion «>f the Southern Whig press. Wr
auted what ta notorious, ami has long been noto- j
rloos.thdt as often as Northern Democrats have full- i
«n fighting our battles, these Southern Whig presses
have raised their voices in concert with those of the
Abolitiontat*. In rejoicings over their defeat. No J
fact in the history of parties and of the country is ;
more indisputable than that the great body of the
friends whom the South lias iff 'ate found ouUide of
h-r own limits, have been among Northern Demo j
crats. Aud the issue which these Democrats have
hud to meet, year after year when candidate* for of
fice, has been this, of their friendship for the South.
Again and again have they, for vote* excluding Abo- |
lition petitions and similar votes, been smitten down
by the joint blows of Northern Whigs and Abolition- 1
bis. That thus falling tin ir defeat should give joy
to Southern Whig editors-it is of this that they com
plain, and we complain. And it was to rebuke this j
that our article was written. The only special refer- i
enco which it made was in the following sentence :
The two statesmen, who, of all others, have been
moat abused within the last twelve months by th<
Savannah Republican and kindred presto, an- un
questionably Judge Douglas and Franklin Pierce:
the very men whom Abolitionists of every name front
Maine to Wisconsin arc hunting with the ferocity oi
bl'«>d hounds.’’
The Republican replies under considerable exot*
citciucnt. Denying nothing that wc alleged it hope*
to escape condemnation by charging against the
Georgian that one of its proprietors has been an ap
pill ant for oflicc under lien. Pisrcr! As though it
was any worse for a proprietor o f the Georgian t-
have a* kid for office from (Jen. I'ikkce than for u
proprietor of the Republican to hate desired the .
anmc ofli.-o from Mr. Fillmore (asnitn«rsays In
did). Can the Republican deny that Judge Douglas.
whom the Abolitioulsts throughout the North are burn
ing in effigy. is the politician whom above all others ;
(unless it be Gen. Piebce) its editor has for the fa.-t I
two years most delighted in abiding? Can It? deny j
that in his heart he rejoices at the partial defeat which
the Democrats have sustained in New Hamp-I.ii • ; |
though knowing, as he must know, that the only i
friends of the Nebraska bill in that State are Demo- j
crats ?
But the Republican Asks “ have they (the editor-
of the Georgian) forgotten their recent defence of
Dix and the Free Soil appointments of President !
Pierce, and their condemnation of Dickinson and
Bronson and the National Democrats of New York?”
We answer that we recollect to have made »•> de
fence of Dix and the Free Soil appointments of Pres
ident Piebce. We published a letter in which I)ix
defended himself, and we defended Gen. Piekce’s
appointments because we believed that lie had not
knowingly appointed any nun whm docs not abide
by the anti-Free Soil Itntls of the Baltimore platform.
As for condemning Dickinson and Bronson : we
condemned them for precisely what we now condemn
the Republican—far making tear upon the President,
when the only re Mill that can fallow the breaking down
of liis ad ministration must be the tUrlion of a Free
Sailer in hi* place. We want no hotter justification
of «>ur course than the result in New Hampshire lur-
niabes. There,by the defection of IU uke and the
co-caile 1 “ Hards,” and a union oi \Y higs and Abo-
litionists, the friends of the President have been par
tially defeated. Two of his friends, Messrs. Nobkis
aud Williams, Senators from that State, voted the
other day for the Nebraska bill. The eduction of
their successors will lie the work of the Iz-gi-lature
ju-t chosen. Should it be that Burke's war upon
the President lias given u majority of the Legislature
to the Whigs and Abolitionists, Hale and some other
Free Boiler will be the Senators. And it is such a
defeat of the President as this, and such a triumph
of his enemies as this—a defeat resulting in the elec
tion of foes instead of friends of the Nebraska bill—
that is causing secret joy to our oppoucuLs! When
the course of Messrs. Dickinson and Bronson in New
Xoik, and of Mr. IIuukk in New Hampshire, can
only result in giving the control of one State to Se
ward and his friends, and of the other to Hale and
his friends, must we commend the course of Mc«-*r*.
Dickinson, Bronson and Burke? We trow not.
The Nebraska liMI.
The motion to refer the Nebraska bill to the com
mittee—the success of which is regarded by tie of
our cotcraporaries aa sealing the fate of the measure
—was made by Mr. Cum so, the leader of the New
York Hards. He intimated very distinctly that, un
less amended to suit his ta-dc, he would vote against
the passage of the bill.

As already stated wo do not regard this vote n»
deciding the fate of the bill. Yet is clear that the
motion of Mr. Cutting, which received the support
of his hard friend from Tennessee, Mr. R. H. Stan
ton, was made in opposition to the wishes of tho-e
most desirous of the success of this measure.
The tVAsbingtou Star of Weduesduy afternoon
says:
Those who understand the real condition of things
here, arc not a little amused at the use which the
ultra opponents of the Nebraska Idil ore already
aiming to make of the vote of the House, yesterday,
by wuioli it was referred to the Committee of the
Whole on the state of the Union, in the face or tin-
fact that s ime seventeen oi' its avowed friends voted
not to make it an exception to the rule governing the
House in preliminary legislation upon all such meas
ures. It will be recollected that the subject lias ul-
tea ly been maturely considered and acted on by the
Committee on Territories, who some time since sent
to the Committee of the Whole, a similar project—
The subject is. therefore, legitimntrhj ill the keeping
of the Committee of the Whole on the state of the
Union. The idea that it can lie easily strangled there,
is a fiction, a majority being in its favor. The case
is different with a measure in which comparatively
few members take interest. When such a lull is sent
to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the
Union, without being made a special order, at this
period of a session, the chances are that it will not
be reached : as it is not to be expected that a majori
ty will lay aside all business, in which they may he
Interested, to grutily the wishes or a few. In such a
case as this, however, with a clear majority in favor
or the bill, it cun bo taken un at any time they will,
by refusing to take up bills which are before it on the
calendar, as is done frequently in such cases. The
only hope of its opponents is to defeat it by •• legis
lative expedients,” which, at times, succeed eventu
ally, when a measure is not regarded as of great Im
portance ; but never when it may be so considered.
The decision of Mr. Chandler, as regards counting to
make a quorum, commented upon by os yesterday, is
destined to tell with powerful effect against unv such
efforts by the opponents of the Nebraska bill, by-the-
by. It utterly deprives them of their means of wea
rying the majority with cross-motions, uud other
time-consuming motions.
Steam Saw Mill Burned.—Wo learn from Capt

the steam saw mill owned by Messrs. Taylor, Riuii-

took flro on the night of the 23d Inst., and was *-u- j
tirely consumed, together with about six hundred j
thousand feet of sawed Junior. Loss estimated at J

We are lafcbt*d to Col. Williams for a small vol
ume, designated on ili title page *• The Evidence* of
Christianity, In i Systematic and Practical Discussion
of their External Department. By JusErii P. Tim
TIN, Bavannab, Georgia.” This book had ita origin
In the belief held by its author, In common with
many others, that a condensed *tatomcat of the
“ scientific and syatemalio arguments for the eviden
ces of Christianity,” was a desideratum of the times
in which we live. The maimer in which the purpose
of supplying this want is executed, reflects high
credit upon his learning, researches and |»ower* of
reasoning. He has given a manual which would
seem to be especially well adapted to the use of
schools, academies uud colleges, in which time is |
wanting for the mastery of a more voluminous trea
tise on the same subject.
The following extract from the chapter on the Evi
dences of Christianity, furnished by the history of its
propagation, rouy be takcu us a fair specimen of the
author's style.
The mere ract of the rapid growth or any system,
is no necoasarv evldeuce of its merits, whether good
or hod. A notable Instance of a wide spreading im
posture is now going on in the western territory of
this American Republic. The rise of Moruioiiisui is ;
the wonder of the age. But so recent is its origin,;
that the person* are now living who, by their solemn
deposition betore the tribunals of law, have traced
up to their source, and exposed the atrocious impim-1
tores by which MonnotiDm Inis become established.
The authors nf the book of Mormon are all known.
They have been proved before responsible law courts,,
to be men guilty of every degree iff lying, hypocrisy ;
and sensuality. Tho»e ro-pectuble persons who have (
had the bc-t means of knowing these impostors, have '
L.stilled tfut they are unworthy to be believed even ,
wlnn put upon fieiroath. When they gained a foot-
iug in the we-»t« ru country, they armed tneir so call-!
vd saints with rifles ; and when punishsi for some of,
t!i ir excesses, tin y succeeded in railing in excite
ment in tiieir favor, by the stimulus and sympathy of'
р. rsocutiun. They frightened their own disaffected
adherents into servile compliance, by making exam* j
pies of some whom tliev suspected of proving dan
ger-ms by tinning against them. Secret Assassiim-1
ii.)ii fortified them against th>>*e who would have
been seceders and reveolers of their own impostures.
11k- niijinraiicl.ed extortion of these people in wrest
ing the property of their dupes, and building up a
gieat monopoly oi power lor the sensual mid atnbi-1
Lous pleasure of their hierarchy, almost exceeds Ik.*- ;
lief.
The recent testimony of officers of the United
States government, shows that the Morinou territory
is gathering its principal adherents and leaders Iroin
among home-thieves, house-breakers, rubbers und
villains, who have gulff red there to cloak their deeds
in mystery, and to escape the deserts of justice, lie
si-les these, the idle, the credulous and tile vicious
an- swarming there together from all nations. The
polygamy of Moliamiue-iani-m makes the paradise of
Hi.ir leaders, and the present governor of the Mor-
mon territory i* proved, by high official authority, to
have more tnan a score of wives. Thcstn am of pop
ulation. flowing towards the territories of the Pacific,
from ail nations, Im- afforded the wonde.T i! increase
of those materials, which are now making this fanati
cal sect of Mormons the most rapidly growing frater
nity of le.uiious impo-ters since tire day* <•! Mo
hammed. The vices of human nature, which arc
here so amply indulged, und the strange und rapid
events in the hi-ff ry and extension of our tcrritoiy
on the Pacific, will account for the growth of Mor-
monism, just as military success and tin- eventful
с. iauges in the days of Mohammed, establishui and
propagated his syst inof impo-turc.
When Christianity made its entrance into the
world, it stood forth with the olive branch iff peace,
and ;,t a time when war was hushed, and the Inghc-t
civiliz itiou of untiquity stood ready to scrutinize
its claims. But while ii aimed to establish s->cicty
upon the enduring basis oi God's laws, and to shed
its light upon another world, the power of govern
ment aud the passions of the people united and
strove to destroy that religion, which thus came to
save individuals and nations from perishing. Yet
those nations which arose t » destroy tn - go-pel. at
length tottered and fell. The people of man y coun
tries persecuted the suffering Christian- ; but the
blood of the martyrs b.-came the seed of tie* church.,
lu the days of its purity and power, the friends of
the gospe l wielded un’carnal weapons : uud their
faith soon became-tr-mger than m ini- -. The religion
of the go-pel. in those days, when all the facts on
which :t was based were yet fresh b-fore the eyes of !
the world, was set down by the hand of God in the
inid-t of uutions and iu* the hearts nf myriads of'
men*.
1 lie extraordinary miraculous agency, whi'di p'ant-
ed Christianity in the bosom >ff the nations, wu- tic-
putting forth of the hand of God, which tnuiked oil
the isjiindary between the ages of antiquity und a
i.ctv «ra of human hi-tory, and set u> a p unt and
period ol departure for the onward progress of tin
Iiuiii in race. This ext -inal landmark is hut the (-ign
of that hidden pow«-r wliicli -till re-id-.s in the truth |
of th- gospel, when applied by the quickening spirit
of Hod. When the spirit of primitive Cbri-tianity j
shall again pos-css t’ue hearts of its professor- in any
ad< quale d>-gree, the gospel, width all its inherent
arm potent energies, will have free con me and be gh>. .
rifled. Revivals of religion will again meet revivals, i
a- oi 8 circl • t ui lies on another, an 1 the h > mdarl a
are- to extend till the kingdom of Christ will embrace :
ail the kiugd-un- «if ttii- w-uld. The heathen are to
he given tot h.'i-t for his iulu ritance, and the utter- j
ino-t parts of the earth for his posses-ion. The su
pernatural Providence which guided the planting
and prevalence of Ciiristianify. i* slid pledged to

A LETTER FROM THE NEW CONSUL OF THE UNITED
STATES.
Galway, Feb. 3, 1S34. I
I know you arc anxious to hear the result "! my
visit to this ancient city of tho Tribes. 1 arrived
here aouie Tour days since, und proceeded direct to
the Con-ill’s office, and entered upon an investigation
of the affairs of tiic i-flice. Alter it carelul investi
gation, 1 came t-> the i mi lusion that the emoluments
ol (he office ut present, would not be sufficient to
compensate me for my time. Under these circuui-!
stance-, 1 came to the determination not to enter ut
all on tne duties of the office. 1 have taken the man- ;
agemeut of affairs out ol the hand- of Mr. lVr»»e,.
aud appointed as tny successor an dd and r spe 11-
Ide mc-rcnaiit ol this city, Mr. I*. A. Fynn. This se
lection has given general -atisfuction t-i the people of 1
Galway. IVi.-.-c not being a very popular man aiiiong
them. I feler you lur lurtlu-r particulars to the uc-
coiupanying new .-pa per account of the mutter. <>ai-
vvayu-a .-hipping port, iu the meantime, is nut of
much importance, but looking at tin- increase and in-
crea-ing commerce of the world, it nuim-t fail t ■
come ut no distant period, the first shipping port iu
Europe. It po.--u.sSi-- all the gieat cajiahiiitics >ff a
great comma ci i! an I inaiiufacturing city. The har
bor is capable of floating the commerce of the Uni
ted Kingdom in sa c-ty,—the fury oi the Atlantic
being completely .-tint out by a natural breakwater,
w hich exi.-ts ut the mouth of tli • barn r. Hei water
power is the best I have ever seen. It is capable, if |
properly applied, of propelling the machinery .,f the
Island, Galway, notwithstanding all these great
natural bles.-ing.-. is filled with want and dc-titution.
Owing to a combination of circumstances, the clm-i
which is the hlaslmg and withering influence of Bri
tish rule, on the developemcnt of the uatur.il re- i
sources of t lie count ry, the great sources of wealth j
which 1 have here described, which, if developed,
would scatter the blessings of happiness aud plenty
uinoiig-l a population now the poorest und tiro-t d>—
tituteol any hi Eup>ne, the surface of her line bar-
Isir is seldom re.filed by the prows >•! ( 'reign ships.
Her mighty rivers issuing from her iiiexbuuslihle !
mountain springs, are u -t impeded iu their course t-i
mingle iu the waters of th<- great Atiantic. and thus
from year to year, this mighty source of wealth roll
on and leaves no blessings behind.
And indeed, if the agitation of the development of
the natural economy of Galway is not taken hold • !
by some persons, different from those in whose hands
it is »<>w placed, some time wiil elapse before any
permanent good resuits to Gahvay. There is great i
want and destitution prevailing among the p"»r.-r
'•la—', s. in this part >>. the country. This is owing t >
the in re . winch has taken place in the provision ,
market. Everything in the wav of food is now up to
famine prices, while n<. provision 1ms been made to
enable the lab' ling claves to meet this mcrea-ci de
mand. It i.s my opinion that if a gr at reduction does
not take place in the price of goods before Hi • slim
mer im'iitii- set in, thousand'* iff people will besweiff
off by famine. Du: mg lb46-’7-'s. when famine sta'k-
ed abroad through"! the laud, various prcpaiuiiou-
were made, o "th public and privat--. t > uday its r.»vu- ,
gea : even England came forth and u| | ied a portion
of the treasure which for centuries she lias sucked
from the veins <ff the nation, to save the lives of the
people. It seems now as if the channels of public i
sympathy have cea.-ed to ll- w. leaving the people to
*-.\i-t as ia.'-t they can. Those per-oiis who nave any
little means of itidepeii'lence, are satisfied to Use it
alone for tic ir own individual comfoit. by living iu j
n.h ness, and keeping up a beggarly system of gen- .
tility in view of those evils. You may easily ima
gin'.' how I enjoy a residence in this country, l"assure
you there is uothing here to feed a mind which is
deeply imbued with republican ideas.
Yours, faithfully, John Duffy, i
