The Rcpubllrait*s Tsrllca.
A distinguished and now lamented citizen of
Georgia—tho Hon. John Macpheraon Berrieu,
iu a letter which was written by him during
last fall, makes the following allusion to the
•Tactics of the Democratic party. Our readers
will readily recollect his letter upon the subject
of Americanism. “In the maneuvering, pre
paratory to tho actual conflict, the Democratic
“party with its usual tact, has secured a position
“to windward, by which It has the privilege of
* becoming the assailant and of selecting Its point
"of attack, Ac.” There is but one portion of the'
remark made, which is not perfectly just, and
that is in attributing to tactiu the Democratic
party, what a long established and inherent
strength of position, had always entitled them
to.
This preparatory remark and extract has been
called forth by the Republican's article of yes*
terday morning. Grown wise by the Instruction
of the able lawyer and statesman, the Editors
of that sagacious journal propose to become,
apt scholars, and to benefit by the supposed
Tactics of the enemy. They wish to assume a
point, from which they may attack with im
punity the Democracy of Georgia, and while
l>ecomiug the assailants themselves, put ns up
on the defensive. This reversal of the order of
things wo do not propose to acquiesce iu. When
tho skilliul practitioner of the law proposes to
substantiate tho allegations in his declaration, it
is requisite for him to make out a clear and
hana fide case, to entitle him to tho relief of a
Court or the verdict of a Jury.
If the plaintiff* fails to do this, if he is not
entitled to a trial on tho merits of the caso aud
the subsequent award of justice, the defendant
moves lor a nonsuit, and the Court accordingly
grants it.
. Have tho Americau party aud its organs es
tablished a case before the people of Georgia,
which would cause them to require the great
Constitutional party of the Union to joiu tame
before the country ? We ask this of our coun-
tryraon of Georgia, before tho bitterness of po
litical invective shall estrange the hearts of
those of the American party who really have no
essential difference of opinion with us. Wo ask
it with a just regard to the views of tlioso who
differ with us, confldcut of our owu convictions,
yet. tolerant of the opinions of others.
Has tho American party any foundation In
the precepts of constitutional liberty ? None—
or else religious restrictions would be comineu.
dable, and the work which JefTerson effected in
his native State of Virginia, and ho aud other
patriots made one of tho leading features of our
Constitution, would have been violativo of that
principle.
Have they principles of such vital impor
tance in Georgia, as should require the people
of our glorious State to overlook the paramount
issue which threatens our country with ruin?
Nouc.
Or if they conceive that they have, how far
are the people ot Georgia interested in the ques
tion of foreign immigration? Look at our State,
and let each man ask himself with candor and
fairness—is this an evil in Georgia ! or is it
one which exists and is felt iu the large cities of
the North only f
What are the principles of this party as ex
pressed in the manifesto of their organized as
sembly? They consist of a belief iu the Su
preme Beiug, a few vague generalities und neg
ative propositions, and a bitter denunciation of
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Where
ore the great men that eudorse it f Mr. Fill
more porhaps they may, and Donelson they most
certianly will have. But where are the great
Whig leaders, Toombs, Benjamin, Stephens,
Clingraan, and others, from whom the Ameri
can party had every right to expect counten
ance ? Look to the record, and the answer will
be found.
And are the Americans of Georgia willing,
under this state of circumstances, to commence
another term of political hostility, if they can-
uot endorse this platform V Are they ready to
array themselves against their brother Geor
gians, merely through the dictates of party
spirit ?
Mr Fillmore no doubt was very acceptable to
tliO'Whig party during his Presidential career.
But will you be willing by the name alone to he
guided, and not endorao tho Platform upon
which he runs for tho Chief Magistracy? Will
you be willing to produce and incito that acerbity
of partizan zeal in your much-loved South, when
tho result will bo of no earthly benefit to that
gentleman himself. We can not think so—we
cannot believe it, when there is no sensible dif
ference of opinion amongst tho people of the
South to justify it.
With those who endorse the Platform of
Philadelphia of course, we have naught to say,
but with those of the American Party
who do not (of which there are veiy
many) we ask but nn impartial perusal of
our record at Cincinnati. Wo ask them but to
suspend their judgment. We will offer them a
Platform which can command their respect and
adherence, aud mon who will carry it out to the
letter.
We bavo purposely avoided all discussion of
tho cond tion of the American party of the
North. Wo cure not to touch upon tho violent
hostilities evident amongst, t/icm towards the
institutions of the South.
The Republican of yesterday tenders us the
Chicago speech of Mr. Douglas,a speech of Gen
Shields, and a remark of President Pierce, made
to Mr. Clemens. Our answer is, we kuow Sena,
tor Douglas by his action in Congress, an'd are
satisfied with him. Wo hnve tried Gen. Shields
by tire selfsame test, and be has proved himself
true to us. And the President of the United
States 1ms passed nobly through the severest ot
all ordenls; better testimony, therefore, will be
required than that of the lion. Jerc Clemens, of
Aluhainn, to falsify bis past good deeds. Has
the defendant a rigid to move for his non-suit?

Editor* Georgian Journal:
GKNT1.KMKN J—I ultSCCVO In the JoUHlut of ttlO
8th Inst, the ntelaucholy tidings of the death of
Hon. Wm O. DaWsou, or Greeasborough. I bog
the privilege, aa one who kuewhim well for
many years, and served under hint In the army,
to bear testimony to the Just tribute which you
have given him.
In 1835, at the call of the Govornor of our
State, ho organized a company iu Greeno coun
ty to march against tho Seminole Indians In
Florida, styled tho "Fattcho Volunteers", In
liouor of Jonas Fauche, a revolutionary herojuid
for many years previous to his death a valued cit
izen of Ureensborough. The sendee of this
company was uot needed for the Florida cam
paign, but they were held in readiness for any
service the State might require. So he did not
"make a campaign against the Florida Indians"
as you mention la your paper.
In tho spring of 1830, when hostilities broke
out among the Creek Indians, in tiie border
counties of Alabama, Capt. Dawson was order
ed, with his company, to the scene of hostilities*
It was, as memory serves me, a beautiful morn*
log in the latter pait of May, when the noblo
company of more than a hundred strong, were
reviewed in the publlo square of the town of
Greensborough. All the scenes are as fresh be
fore my mind as the transactions of yesterday.
It was a noble company. Their ages ranged
from 17[to 37; a large majority had not attained
theogeofSO. They were in full uniform. The
writer did not leave home that morning a sol
dler, but went as many others did to "see the
soldiers start." The hearts of all throbbed with
anxious desire to rush to the scene of carnage.
The Captain of the company, in a very eloquent
and stirring addreas, pictured to our minds wo
men and children foiling victims tothetoma.
hawks and scalping-knife and flying before the
merciless foe. My young heart throbbed, yea,
panted to fly to their rescue. At the age of 17
I fell Into ranks, and from henceforth was a
soldier. Hero was a solemn scene. Fathers
brothers, sons and lovers were leaving all eartlv
ly and beloved objects behind, to see them no
more. During tho half hour's suspense many a
tear was shed, many a prayer waaoflferedup*
During the sobs and sighB, at the rolling of tho
dram we Btruck our solemn march to tho scene
of carnage. During tho first two miles of our
march scarco a word was spoken, so deep was
the impression made by tho parting scene,
With great dispatch wo arrived at tho scene of
hostilities. We were mustered Into tho United
States service In Broad street, of the city of Co
lumbus. On tbo next day we joined tho
regiment of volunteers. Capt. Dawson was
without hesitation tendered the post of Colouel,
which ho gracefully declined, preferring to bear
tho hardships incident to a soldier's life, iu
wading the morasses, swimlng tho creeks, and
sleeping under the broad canopy for a covering,
to all the honors arising from the high position
of a field officer. The second day after our ar
rival, Capt. Dawson, with his company, was or
dered by Gen. Scott on an expedition down the
Chattahoochee on board the Metamora, “tho
old Metamora of war.” In pasing tho Uehco
Shoals a few hours after our departure, the In
dians, from ambush on the Georgia side, attack
ed us with great violence, the nearest of them
not being exceeding thirty steps from us.
1 was sitting with ray back to the breast work
dozing gently with my musket between my
knees, when suddenly I was roused by tho re
port of over u huudred ludiuu rifles, and by us
many or more of the fierce yells of the invading
foe.
Nocouucil of war was hold. No stentorian voice
of tho officers was heard to call to arms! to
arms! and no rolling drum was necessary to
arouse the young bloods of old Greene to action*
Almost as quick as thought from every port
hole ou the Georgia side of the boat, poured
forth a perpetual blaze of fury upon the enemy,
and while the bullets were falling up on our
boat like a heavy shower of bail, our Captain
was in all parts of the boat almost at once ani
mating bis men, putting his hand upon our
shoulders, saying givo it to the red skins my
bravo boys, remember you uro from old Greeno.
A peculiar sensation seizes upon tho mind and
frame of a young soldier, when suddenly and
for the first time he is uroused to battle, and
thoso of us who survive our worthy loader kuow
well how his words and presence animated us
while iu the hottest of the fight Not a man of
us was hurt Tho loss of the eliomy was pro
bably n less than twenty-five or thirty, some
fifteen were left on the field we learned after
wards, and considerable signs of blood were
found in tlieir trail, and it is probable they car*
ried on* many, and many were wounded. Our
fire was so galling, the euemysoon lied in dis
may aud confusion. Never was an officer more
cool and collected, and none ever displayed
more valor in the hour of conflict
We had auotber skirmish with the enemy at
Roanoke, across the river during our expedi
tion; some slight traces of blood were soon where
the enemy stood. In neither of these engage
ments was there a singlo man of us hurt, and
all the company reached home in safety.
This campaign furnishes many illustrations
of the kindness of the heart of our Captain.
He fitted up a horse and little wagon at his own
expense for the accommodation of his broken-
down aud diseased soldiers. Although he had
these accommodations, he never eqjoyed 'them
himself. He walked In all over four hundred
miles, and I never saw him even once enjoy a
ride in his own conveyance. He would divide
bis lost crust with his famished soldiers. He
had a heart full of sympathy for them in all
their sufferings. On one occasion, in a forced
march under an almost verticle sun, a soldier
fainted. Several field officers rode by him on
one side, others on the other side, and one rode
over him, tlie horse stopping over him. At
length the Captain arrived, caught hold of him,
and said “poor fellow," witlr emotions of the
most intense sympathy. He called iu help, and
his wants wore soon supplied. That man still
lives to cherish the memory of his kind beue-
factor. He governed his men by the laws of
kindness. If over any disturbance arose among
them, a word from the Captain was sufficient to
quell it. Ho lmd not a inun in his company that
would not cheerfully shed the last drop of bis
blood for him if bis safety required it. Wo still
lovo him. I contemplate nn early pilgrimago to
his grave. There I will delight to mingle my
tears with the dust that covers his remains.
Captain Dawson formed a very intimate ac
quaintance with Gen. Winfield Scott, tho com-
maudcr-iu-chief, who spoke and wrote iu high
terms of commendation of the valor and gen-
Humanly bearing of Mr. Dawson. This frioml
ship, thus formed between these distinguished
aud gallant men in war, has never sufl'ered
uny abatement in peuco.
Mr. Dawson was a great friend to young men.
Ho never failed, on mooting a young niun of his
acquaintance, to givo him some good advice.
Mr. Dawson was a great man, known to the tin-

The Peace Congress.
We are enabled to lay Iteforo our readers an
authentic report of Count Walowskl’s (the first
Freuch Plenipotentiary) Important speech pro
nounced in the Congress on April 8. A Iter somo
formal business,
Count Walewski rose and said: Ho thought'
it wus desirable that before they separated, tho
Plenipotentiaries should exchange their ideas
upon various subjects which called for soluttou,
and which it might be useful to take into con
sideration, with a view to prevent Allure com-
R Ucatlon*. Although thoy had assembled for
te special purpose of arranging the Eustoru
question, the Congress might, Iu his opinion,
have to reproach itself if it were not to toko ad
vantage of tho circumstance which brought to
gether so many representatives of the principal
Powers of Europe, to elucidate certain ques
tions, lay down certain principles, and give ut
terance to certalu sentiments—all with tuo sole
object of assuring tho tranquillity of tho world
by dispelling, wlilleyet they wore not too threat
ening, tho clouds wliich might already bo seen
lowering in the political horizon.
It could not, he said, be denied that Geccc
was in an abnormal situation. The anarchy to
which that country had been abandoned, had
compelled France and England to send troops
to the Pirtcus, and that at a time when their
armies had no lack of employment elsewhere.
The Congress knew what was the state of
Greece at that moment Moreover, the Con
gress could not be Ignorant that the condition
ol that country was far from satisfactory at the
present time. It would not therefore, be a pro
ceeding without its utility, If the Powers repre
sented in the Congress were to manifest a de
sire to see the three protecting Courts take into
their mature consideration the deplorabto situa
tion of the kingdom whloh they had created,
and devise means to apply a remedy. Count
WalewiU did not doubt that Lord Clarendon
would concur with him In declaring that the two
Governments were most anxiously looking for
ward to the moment when they might safely
nut an e d to their occupation of Greece; but
this they felt they could not do so long as seri
ous modifications were not made In the present
state of things in Greece.
The French plenipotentiary afterwards re
minded the Congress that the Pontifical States
were also in an abnormal situation. Tho neces
sity of not leaving those States a prey to an
archy, had determined Franco as well as Austria
to respond to the requestor the Holy See, in
occupying Rome with her troops while Austria
occupied the Legations. France had a double
motive In deferring without hesitation to the
desires of the Holy See—1st, as a Catholic, and
2d, as an European Power. As the “eldest
child of the Church," a title of which the Em
peror was most proud, his Majesty had made it
a duty to give his aid to the Sovereign Pontiff.
But, rarthor, the tranquility of the Roman States
upon which depended the tranquility of all Italy,
was much too closely connected with the main
tenance of order in Europe, for France not to
have an interest of tho highest kind to assist,
by all the means In her power, In the preserva
tion of order in the Pope’s dominions. He ful
ly saw how much there was that was ulmormal
in the situations of a Power which hud ueed of
tho support of foreign troops iu order to main
tain its authority. Ho did uot liesituto to de
clare, and ho hoped that Count Buol would sny
as much on tho part of Austria, that France
was not only ready to withdraw her troops from
Romo, hut she desired with nil her licurt that
the time when sbo might do so without com
promising the interests of tho Pontifical gov
ernment, in which tho Euincrar took so lively
au interest, might uot bo indefinitely postponed.
It was most desintblo, in tbo interest of the
equilibrium of Europe, that tbo Freuch forces
should be enabled wifely to evacuate tlie Homan
States. He did not doubt tlmt frank expres
sion of these sentiments on tbo part of France
aud Austria would do good, uiuf produce a fa
vorable impression.
Continuing in tbo same order of ideas, he
felt prompted to Inquire whether it was to be
wished that certain Governments in tho Italian
Peninsular should by acts of well-considered
clemency conciliate such of tlieir subjects us
were not perverted though they liavo gone us-
tray, ana should thus put an end to u sys
tem which direrctly operates contrary to its ob
ject,~a system which .instead of restraining the
enemies of order, had for its effect to weaken
the governments that acted upon it, and to aug
ment the number of the partisans of demogo-
gy! In his opinion it would bo to render a
sfgual service to the government of tbo Two
Sicilies, as well os to the cause of order iu tiie
Peninsular, to enlighten the govenueutun the
subject of the wrong course it was pursuing.
He thought that a warning coneoived in this
spirit and coming from the Cougress would be
well received by the Neapolitan government,
which could not possibly entertain unysuspeiou
of the motives of udvice coming from such a
qearter.
Count Walewski next culled the attention of
the Congress to a subject which, although re
lating more immediately to France, was never
theless one of real interest to ull European pow
ers. It was well kuown that in Belgium publi
cations were printed every day which contained
the most hostile and insulting attacks upon
France and her government, and that in these
publications revolt and ussassination wore open
ly advocated. Vcry recently some Belgian jour
nals pronounced an eulogfum ou the “Mari
anne," a secret society whoso tendencies and
objects were notorious. All these publications
were so many implements of war directed
against the internal tranquillity of France by
the enemies of social order, who, strong in tlie
Impunity which they enjoyed under the shelter
of Belgian legislation, cherish the hope of suc
ceeding in their guilty projects. Ho protested
that the sincere ucslre of the Emperor was to
maintain tho;best relations with Belgium, und
he hastened to add that his Majesty* Govern
ment had every reason to be satisfied with the
cabinet of Brussels, which lmd dotie its best to
mitigate a state of things which it was not in
its power to change, because the lnws of Bel
gium did not empower it to repress the excesses
of the press, nor to take tho initiative of a re
form which had become absolutely indispensa
ble.
We should regret (the French plenipotentiary
continued) to be placed under the obligation of
ourselves making Belgium to understand tlmt it
is imperatively necessary to modify a legislation
which is not compatible with the fulfilment by
her government of the first of international
duties—namely, that of not tolerating intrigues
having for their avowed object to disturb the
tranquility of neighbouring States. Any remon
strances on the part of a stronger Power would
so much resemble a threat that wo naturally
endeavor, by every possible means, to avoid
having recourse to them. If the representatives
of the great Powers, appreciating this necessity
from the same point of view as ourselves, should
think fit to express their opinions on the sub
ject, It la probable that the Belgian government,
reiying upon the great majority of tho country,
would find itself In a position to pat an end to
a state of things which cannot foil, sooner or
inter, to produce difficuUies and even dangers
which It l« for tho Interest of Belgium to overt,
frontiers would be blazing liir und wide from
tlm Inroads of Americau free corps.' Prater-
tionlsts may bavo tlieir own notions of tbo com
mercial results, but wo fluioy tbo first conse
quence of n rupture would bo tbo ruin of half
tbo properties iu the Southern Status, and tho
stoppage of almost every mill in Isincnshlre.
lint we need uot specutnto ou tho details of u
conflict which every man must feel would throw
buck the bumaii race for a century to come.—
Nor would the conflict lie.
“The two nationsnre distinguished Itoyonil any
on the globo lor stubborn pride and invincible
obstinacy. Tbo first atrocity committed on either
sido would bo speedily forgotten, nail tbo strug
gle would continue la-cause the pride und ani
mosity of the two mitious demanded it. It is such
evils us those tlmt Mr. Dallas deprecates in Ills
speech .and we trust that tlie sentiments bo eii
undates will bilbiuiico the negotiations with
which be Is intrusted, and lead to u speedy set
tlement of mutters which are only important
bocuuso they are little understood.
There Is no government on tho face of the
earth which could by uny possibility derive
benefit I ruin u war tatween England and the
United States save tlie government of Louis Na
poleon. It is ids evident Interest to induce tlioso
two free countries to cripple each oilier, and
leave Franco the undisputed mistress of the
world. Whether tho Pulmerston ministry is
a mred to ho used by this subtle and sinister
tlcan for such a purpose, remains to bo
seen. .
Tbo Territory of* Utuli—Mormon i*m»
tatters received from the City or Great Salt
Luke shadow forth the probable fact tlmt this
Territory, tbo strong-bold ot Mormonism, will
shortly appear ut tbo bar of Congress aud de
mand admission ns one of the States ortho Am
erican confederacy. Without having reflected
much on the subject, it strikes us, at first view,
as a question of deep political interest, wliich
may possibly encounter some difficulty of solu
tion, involving, as it does, moral aud religious
considerations of tlie higho-st novelty and impor
tance. at war with tlie long settled opinions and
E radices nfthe people of the United States, aud
avlng a direct bearing on the well being of soci
ety ,usnow constituted. This singular people,now
numbering OU,OUU souls, und daily increasing by
emigration from Europe us well us accessions
from our people, have quietly and utmost luiob-
servedly attained their present power and.coudi-
tion in the Western wilderness, u thousand
miles midway between California und Missouri.
The mass of our people liuvo hitherto known
but little of them, aud cared less, regarding
them as an insignificant boq)u of fanaticalzou-
lots, herded together because of their persecu
tions in Missouri and Illinois; and rather united
by a sense of weakness and common danger,
than the inherent force und power of their reli
gious doctrines, uud liable to lie broken up and
dispersed in a short time, by tlieir anomalous
character and tbo pressure of surrounding
influence. They have lead of the revela
tions of Heuven to Joe .Smith, the foun
der of the sect, when a youth of fifteen years
of age—of the miraculous discovery iu 1827
of the u Plater like gold,'' containing tho holy
record of the Book of Mormon,inscribed iti the
Egyptian character,hid iu the bill of C'umorub—
of tlieir singular laws,manners customs nnd reli
gion; and more especially, of their obscene and
elaborate modes of sealing the limrriogo rites,
us now practised under the holy sanction mid
authority of the eldeisof tlieir church—of tlieir
wonderful thrift and energy, by which they
liavo made un Eden of a Zdimru, built a large
wailed city and caused roses ami cereals to
bloom in the native home of thu thorn ami the
thistle. All these tilings have doubtless been
noted by the people of tlie United States, as
well as tlieir extensive Missionary arrangements
for spreading their doctrines in foreign lands
aud “//tc Isles qf the sea," but without much re
flection ns to future consequences Twenty years
have rolled away since tins sect was founded by
Joe Smith, aud they uro nut yet a dispersed peo
ple, but arc dully acquiring new power, aud now
constitute a political community almost, if not
quite, ol sufficient size to be entitled, under the
constitution, to admission into tlie Union as n
sovereign State, and to participate iu making
laws for a people who repudiate, with abhor
rence, their social and religion* system: more
especially that feature ol* it which not only
tolerates and sanctifies a plurality of wives,
but justifies ami encourages the intermar
riage of persns closely allied l»y the ties of con
sanguinity us necessary, in tiie caso of the min
istry especially, for tlie perpetuation of a pure
priesthood. Such principles and practices are
not only repugnant to tlie laws and doctrines of
tho Christian religion which wc ho highly prize,
but are horrible aud detestable violations of the
laws or nature—and the admission of such a
people to tho rights of Stato sovereignty, really
becomes a great moral ami political question,
on wliich tlie minds of the people should
be brougiil to bear.
How will it resolve itself? Tlie Constitution,
if they have the requisite population, impose no
impediment to their admission on the ground
of their religion, be they Turks, Jews or Infi
dels; Mahonimedans, Urahmiiis, or followers of
Joo Smith; for Congress has no power respect
ing the establishment of religion. It is true
that instrument say new States may lie ad
mitted into tbe Union ; but possibly, since the
great debute ou the Missouri question, the word
may is construed to mean shall, the only
requirements being sufficient population
to claim representation in Congress mid
the presentation of n constitution uot conflict
ing in its political element with tlie Consitution
of the United States; uud that, loo, irrespective
of tlieir domestic institutions, in tlmt debate,
If wo recollect aright, it was said by tho great
Baltimorean, Wm. Fickiicy, (in referring to the
assumption hv the opponents of Missouri, tlmt
thoy bad a discretionary power to admit or re
ject, as well us to restrict,) “that it was a power
—a wilderness of powers—over which, as a
bridge, tbo General Government must cross lo
break down the sovereignties of the States, ns
Xerxes crossed the Hellespont, '(he liberties
qJ' Greece to yoke.' " Tho case of tlioso Mor
mons is certainly a peculiar one, such as never
was contemplated by the tranieis of the Constitu
tion , and may give rise to serious difficulty. It is
to be hoped, however, that there will exist no
embarrassment which connot bo obviated ; but
we should regard tbe incorporation of 00,000
debased and bigoted polygamists into a State
sovereignty, unless with a restriction, as an un-
mixed evil, tbe future effects of which cannot
be well estimated. There may exist no difficul
ty In tbe whole matter, but taking a general
view of tho evils likely to flow from tbe politi
cal fusion with our people ot* so largo a body of
them adhering to such practices as ore intenuo-
ten with tlieir religion, and looking to their in
fluence ou future legislation and public morals,
it seems to us a subject worthy of public reflec
tion and examination. In fact, the simple prob
lem of what we shall do to get rid of such n
people, or to eradicate tlieir noxious doctrines,
is, in itself, n great question, irrespective of po
litical considerations, when we reflect on the
history of nil fanatical zealots, and call to mind
their adhesiveness, obstinacy and pertinacity.
In conclusion, tho Count proposed that the
Congress should crown its labors by a declare-
tint. afniAn nrntilil ~ . t
tion which would constitue a real progress in in
ternational jurisprudence, and would te grate
fully accepted By the entire world. The Con
gress or Westphalia had declared for liberty of
conscience; the Congress of Vienna for the abo
lition or tho Blovo trade and the free navigation

Capital for Young Men.—It is a con
solation for all right-minded young men,
that though they may not be able to com
mand as much pecuniary capital as they
would wish, to commence business them
selves, yet there is n moral capital which
they can have that will weigh as much as
money with persons whose opinion is worth
having. And it does not taken great
while to accumulate a respectable amount
of this capital. It consists of truth, hon
esty and integrity; to which may be ad
ded decision, courage, firmness and per
severance. With these qualities, there
are few obstacles which cannot be over
come. Friends spring up and surround
such a young man almost, by magic.—
Confidence flows out to him, and business
iiccunmlutes on his lmnds faster than lie
can ask it. And in a few short-years such
a young man is far in advance of many
who started with him. having equal tal
ents and larger pecuniary means ; erelong
our young man stands foremost, trusted
and'loved. Would that we could induce

AN ENGLISH OPINION OF THE THE AT V.
Tlie taudon Morning Chronicle says:
“A careful perusal of tbe authentic Treaty of
Peace, ami tho Protocols of tbe Conferences nl
Purls, entirely confirms tho impression wliich,
many weeks since, we stood alone in holding,
tlmt more would rest on the honor and good
faith ol Russia than on tbo literal wording of tlie
stipulations by which it might be expected to
bind her down. From the protocols which re
cord the deliberations and proceedings of tbe
Congress, we gather that this confidence was
not misplaced. For the plenipotentiaries of tbe
Czar came to Paris armed less with objections
or protcxLs lbr advancing the interests of tlieir
master, than with general instructions to con
cede every demand of tbe Allies that was not
absolutely inconsistent with honor."
THE CENTRAL AMEIUCAN qUKSTlON.
A blue book of mot e than 300 pages has been
presented to both Houses of Parliament rela
tive to the so-called Central American question.
It consists of ISO despatches, but tbo whole ques
tion is very ably resumed iu Lord Clurendon's
note (No. 17«») in reply to tlie statement drawn
up by Mr. Buchanan, giving tbe views of tbe
United States Government as to the engage
ments contracted by Great Britain, under the
treaty of 1850, us regards the Mosquito Protec
torate, the British settlement of Belize, and the
Island of Runtan.
The other dispatches reter to tbe negotiations
previous to tbo Bulwer-Clayton Treaty, to the
occupation of Tiger Island, to the Cyane affair,
ut Grc.\ town, to tbe alleged Insult to the Amer
ican (lag by tlie commander of Her Majesty’s
brig-o f-war Express, and to the various attempts
at- a satisfactory settlement of all questions re
lating to tbe proposed route, and to Central
American affairs generally.
Tlie concluding despatches relate to the “pro
posed arbitration." Lord Clarendon states (No.
180) that tho ofl'or to refer to arbitration the
interruption of tbe treaty of1850 had been made
by him in the most formnl manner by direction
ofthe Cabinet. The explanations relative to
this point, appeared in the Times of tbe 14th of
March.
Tlie concluding despatch (No. 180) rotors
more especially to Runtan. In it, Mr. Crompton
informs Lord Clarendon, under date of March
31,1850, that Mr. Clayton was informed by
Sir Henry Bulwer before the treaty of 1850 was
signed, that Runtan was de jure and de facto a
British possession; and tbatSlr. Clayton had, on
various occasions since, in conversation with
bint (Mr. Crnmpton) stated that he considered
Runtan ns much a British possession as Jamaica,
or any other British Westlndia Island.
A Nation on Sea.—According to the annu
al report of the American Seamen’s Friend So
ciety, the tonnage of American vessels in 1830
was 1,191,770 tons; number of Americau sen-
men and watermen, including navy, a little
over ninety thousand. In 1855, tbo tonnage bad
increased to 6,212,000 tons, and tho number of
seamen to nearly four hundred thousand —both
having more than quadrupled in one-fourth of n
century. Forty years ago the British commer
cial marine was 2*,010,905 tons employing 172,-
780 seamen. Tts tonnage is now 5,048,270, and
its seamen, including navy, nearly 400,000. Brit
ain bns thus doubled in little toss than half a
century America has quadrupled in n quarter
of a century, mid is now, in tonnage and sea
men, tlie first maritime power in tbo world.
It is stated, in the same document from which
wc derive these facts, tlmt the commerce, tonage
and seamen of tbe world have much more than
doubled during the lost forty years. Everything,
it is added, indicates a more rapid increase in
the future. It is predicted that before the close
of the present century the 150,000 vessels of
tlie civilized world will have become 300,000,
und tlieir fifteen millions of tonage thirty mil
lions, and tlieir million and a half seamen three
millions. “A nation dwelling on tbo sea. drawn

Cheatino in tiie Manufacture of
Flour.—The Albany Evening Journal
lias tlie following remarks on this subject:
“An example ofthe old saying that “cheat
ing uovor prospers” is seen in our Grain
Trade. To several German States which
used to liuy wheat Hoar of us, little is now
shipped but Rye ; and many ofthe Con-
tlneutai European dealers, now prefer to
buy our tvlieiit and grind it themselves,
who used to import American flour. Tlie
reason is the deception practised in pas
sing off the poor grades of flour os “super
fine 1 ’ and “extra,” or in mixiug an in
ferior with a superior article. Some of
the flour shipped abroad made from
“grown wheat” lias proved totally unfit
(or human food. The consequences of
tlie distrust thus created abroad of our
Millers, and Flour Merchants, lull as they
should, most heavily on those who have
connived most in the “cheating.”
He “Must be Made to Sino."—.John
Adell was a native of England, at tlie
time of tlie reign of Charles the Second,
and was celebrated for his lino counterte
nor voice. He was sent for at court; but
evudiug to go by feigning some slight ex
cuse, lie was commanded to attend. At
tlie place, he'wus placed iu uu cliir ain tlie
middle of a spaeiousj hall, uml suddenly
drawn up to a great height, when tlie
king and Ids attendants appeared in a
gallery opposite to hint. At tlie same
time a number of wild boars were turned
into tlie hall. The king bid him choose
whether lie would sing or be let down n-
mong tho ferocious beasts. Adell chose
tlie former, and declared afterwards that
he never sung so well on any occasion be
fore. From this circumstance origina
ted tho saying, “The bird that can sing
and won't sing must be made to sing.”
