Speech of the lion. A G. Brown of Miss,
on the Homestead Bill.
‘I know something Mr. Chairman of the squatter
life. It w# my- fortune to have be n raised in anew
and unsettled country I know something of the toils
and hardships and privations encountered by the squat
ters. I"will not detain you with the recital of all that
I have seen, heard and felt. One incident I may re
late. It w ill tell you why my heart is with these people.
When I was a hoy, a very little boy, an honest, but
poor man settled (squatted is a better word,) in the
country where I yet reside, Removing from South
Carolina, he pitch* and his ten’ amid the unbroken forest
the dead of winter. lie had two sons able to work.
He was in a strange land, without money and without
friends. But with an iron will, such as none but squat-*
ters have, he attacked the forest. It receded before
him, and in three short montbs-the sun w hich had been
shut out for many centuries, was permitted to shine on
a s|K*t of earth in which the Squatter had planted corn.
Day by day he might have been seen following the
plow while his-two sor.s plied the hoe. T**• I brought
him bread, and he raised up his two sons to know, as
Heaven's wise decree,, that by the sweet ol tlivir brows
they should gain their bread. Industry and economy
brought not wealth, but a competency. The elder of
the two sons followed the example of the father, and
cultivated the soil. Fortune smiled, and he prospered
The younger, i:u such moderate qualifications as a
frontier life could afford, studied law and practised with
suecess. In an evil hour for his private fortune, he
was drawn into politics. lie was elected t*> the State
Legislature,—to Congress, as Judge of the Cireuit
Court, Governor of his State, to Congress again and
again, but he never forgot that he was the Squatter's
son. He stands before you to day the humble advo
cate of the Squat er’s rights.
Gen. Scott. — We have seldom read a more elo
quent and noble tribute to Gen. Scott, than is contained
iu a communication which appears in the N. A . Cou
rier and Enquirer of the 6th instant. The writer, after
enumerating the priceless public services of Gen. Seott,
pteoeeds as follows;
It is true that Winfield Seott is a military hero. —
But is he nothing more? Is lie not, throughout, ol
the grand heroic stamp in all that regards mankind T
Who more wise in public council ? Who more patient
of teil ? Who more unwavering of purpose? Who
more sagacious in the adaptation of means to an end ?
Who more prudent and prompt on the battle field?
Who more careful of the soldier’s blood ? Who more
foria?tful of injuries? Who more magnanimous to
p* rsonal enemies ? Who more generous to public* ones?
W ho more constant and confiding in private friendship?
What man can say he has maliciously wronged him?
What woman that an impure look, or word Irom him
has offended her modesty ; or that he has laid an un
chaste hand upon her? No altar, religious or social,
has Winfield Scott ever pro aoed ! With the Prophet
Ruler and Patriot of old, ho can fearlessly challenge
ii.-p.-oplc u* say h it man has suffered wrong or vio- j
fence at his hands.
But some man will point you to what he calls the
foibles of w.nrteld Scott. If he has foibles, who has
not ? What is tlie identity of each, man but his foibles?
T*ke these away, and you leave nut a being, but an
abstraction of virtues and vices. In.a long life of pub
lic duty, longer consecutively than any man now li-ing,
discharging trust after trust of the most varied and ol
teu ot the most com plica ed and delicate character, in
what one has he failed ? What public interests have
these much magnified foibles marred? Not one. —
Success, uninterrupted success, has attended every af
fair ol the people whi’ Uhe has had to manage. H*w
Ins own interests have sped he has lilt! - recked so that
his country’s were secured ? Who shall gainsay the
truth of this? The writer of this repeats, call Win
field Scott t<> the bar of public scrutiny, and let impar
tial justice decide. No,no! there is nought here,
thus lar, for American to regret. There is nought
but for what sober refection will show them they have
deep cau*e for gratitude to the Great Ldspeiiser of
events. Nought but to lead them- to pray that they
may ever have a Winfield Scott in tneir hour of need.

“General Srott’s Quarrels.*’
The Locofoco papers are publishing a list of
twelve or more quarrels which, they say, Gene
ral Scott has had during the last half century he
has been fighting the battles of his countrv. —
We suggest that they add three or more just
for the variety of the thing. Here they are :
He quarrelled with the British government
in 1812 or ’l4, and taught them the respect
! they were glad, at that early day, to exercise
| towards American arms and American coin
j manders, himself included.
lie quarrelled with the wild roving savages
I of the Southwest, and brought them to a state
of meekness and quiet they have not yet for
: gotten.
He adjusted a quarrel which the administra
tion of General Jackson had forced upon it by
the nullifiers of South Carolina, and really
made them believe the supremacy of tire law
| ;bove their petty grievances.
He bad several serious quarrels with Santa
Anna and other Mexican generals; so serious,
indeed, that he was compelled to pepper them
and their whole command with cold lead. The
Mexican government, backed up by an imbe
cile administration at home, could not prevent
his quarrels with them, or the choice of. wea
pons he felt it his duty to use, in the defence of
liis country’s rights. lie kept right on, not
regarding the ‘fire in the rear’ or the difficulties
ahead, and conquered an honorable peace. His
war equipage was securely lain away while he
and his brave companions ‘revelled in the Halls
of the Montezumas.’ In his dispute with the
Mexicans, he taught eight thousand half-disci
| plined troops to conquer a country containing
seven millions of inhabitants.
He quarrelled with the ‘Polk atid Dallas’ ad
ministration in 1846, and taught it to respect
the ‘hero of three wars.’ Polk and Marey
! had an idea that the laurels Scott had won in
1 Mexico should be equally divided between the
| ‘President and liis writing-master.’
He at present has a remarkable misunder
standing and dispute with the Locofoco party.
They question the propriety of electing ‘mere
military men’ to the highest honors of the Re
public. This quarrel the people will settle in
November.

To the Gallant Old Soldiers of 1612, and the Brave
Fellows who Served in Mexico:— Attention !—Have
you -forgotten ihebl.HiJy field of Lundy's Lane, where
bayonet crossed bayonet, and steel clashed with sleel,
amid the rattle of musketry and the roar of cannon
as of many waters ?
Hhve you forgotten the plains of Chippewa, where
you met the veterans of the Peninsula, and drove them
from the field at the point of the bayonet?
H:\ve you forgotten Queenstown //eights, where you
washed out, in your own blood and the blood of your
etumies. the disgrace cast upon the American name
and arms by the surrender of Hull ?
Have you forgotten Vera Cruz. Cerro Gordo, Con
treras. Cherubuseo, Chapoltepee, Molino del Rey, and
the City of Mexico?
I lave you forgotten your victorious march—one of j
the m<M s>pleu<iid in the annals of military operations,
ihat excited the astonishment and won the plaudits ot |
nil Europe—from Vera Cruz to the great Plaza of the
City of the Montezumas?
Have you fongotten the feeling of pride, true A me
riean pride, wiih which you followed the victorious
banners of your country, the glorious stars and stripes,
as they were borne onward and onward in pursuit of
the retreatiug foe?
Have you forgotten with*vhat confidence you mnreh
ed wher* ver yotteaw wave the tall plume of your gal
lant old Commander in-Chief, leading you on?
Have you forgotten that whe. he pointed out the
enemy, and told \ou when, where, and how to attack
and conquer, you felt that you had only to obey his ;
commands and victory would, as it- ever did, perch
upon your standards ?
FOiovv soldier and fellow veterans! Have you
forgotten all this? NO! T*> the Jatest moment of
your lives you will not. you cannot, forget it.
Forget not, then, our brave old commander, the gal
lant Seott, who has so often led us to victory , but ne
ver to defeat.
Let us onee more rally around him, as we have
heretofore done, where the fire was the hottest and the
enemy were the thickest. His enemies were then }

THE SECOND EDITION OF IHE NORTHERN MAN
WITH SOUTHERN FEELING, AGAIN ! !
The VVaQii >gton Republic, says, the Demo
cratic State Convention of New Hampshire,
which sat late in January. 1850, had General
Pierce as one of its members, and that the Con
vention unanimously adopted a resolution, de
claring—
“ That the holding human beings in bondage
is a* CURSE to any country—that we are op
posed to Slavery, black or white, in all its forms,
and under whatever circumstances /”
Well, if the forty ninth choice of the Demo
cratic Sanhedrim ain’t turning out to he a pret
ty fellow, then we will agree to ‘ knock under.”
That is what they git for going ott to New
Hampshire to hunt up an obscure man , trust
ing to Providence that, as they don’t know any
thing about him, the Whigs won't know any
thing either, and that, therefore, they “can’t
SAY ANY Til NO AGAINST HlM.’’ Til is is OUT
neighbor’s “ good negative candidate.” —
Well, the American people will pul him in the
negative, sure enough, next November. Come
now,neighbor, honor bright; ain’t you ashamed
of him. and would'ut you genteelly acknowl
edge the corn if you did’nt, like your Lieuten
ant Governor Leake, with the Compromise,
have to swallow him bitter pill as he is, though
not “administered by a federal doctor,” but by
a Locofoco Convention. Oh! he gripes you
most beautifu lv, but console yourself; you
will have the same opportunity to eschew him
after November next, that your party did the
sweet little fellow Matty Van. and the ‘‘Great
Michigander” after they were once beaten with
them. You will have no further use for him
then, and you can turn him out to graze upon
the bleak hills of the “ Granite State,’’ along
with his congenial spirits of tluit region, who
LOATHE the Fugitive Slave Law,” and curse
slavery.
We feel for certain of our friends—Southern
Rights men—the peculiar friends of the South,
who love to dilate, in such glowing terms, upon
tlie beauties of Slavery, and who, with such
gusto, pronounce slavery a political, social, and
moral blessing (the “ safety valve of Southern
morals”) who couldn’t find any kindred spirits on
Southern rights and Secession in the VY hig par
ty, and had to take refuge in the ranks of Lo
cofucoistn to preserve uncontaminated, their
Southern patriotism, but who now have to di
gest Jo Johnston , and swallow immaculate
Franklin Pierce , on top of him, with all lu.s
“ Yankee notions,” about holding human be
ings in bondage being a curse to any country;
and his opposition “ to slavery, black or white,
in all its forms and under whatever circumstan
ces.” Oh ! it must be a bitter pill to them
But all we can say to vou gentlemen, is, “ grin
and bear.” and hereafter remember the fable
of “ The Frogs asking fora King, ’ for like the
poor frogs you are “ only suffering the punish
ment due to your folly;’’
Wo fool for certain of our quondam Whig
fiends, who went off half-cocked about General
Scott’s nomination, and who Lit at the Pierce
bait so n'rbbly that before they felt the hook
prick them, they had the bait too tar down to
spew it up, and now have to gulph it down and
dangle on the same line set tor Southern Loco
foco dupes, by those expert Yankee anglers,
-Van Bun n<k Cos.” Perhaps they can find a
better man in the New Hampshire I ugitive
Slave Law LOATHER and slavery HATER
than in Winfield S r ott. We do, truly, feel
for such, and in our political devotion, shall ever
remember their political martyrdom. ’Verily,

are becoming the cause of much litigation, and
Congress is a*ked to send a laud commissioner
to adjust these titles.
The San Antonio Ledger says about §400,-
000 worth of goods are at El Paso, or at Mag
offinsville, the village on the American side of
the Pass, while the goods nowon the way there
must amount iu value to SBO,OOO orsloo,ooo
more. The goods were destined for the Ohihua
11u i trade; bm Gen. Trias the Mexican comman
dant there, hassuldenly enforced the Mexican
tariff, which will probably prove a death blow
to that tr ule for the present. Heretofore tie*
duty has been three cents per vara, or Mexican
yard of thirty three and one third inches, for
admi-sion into the territory, and two cents
more intei ior transportation; making in all a
duty of five cent* per yard, which one would
suppose quite enough; but the tariff now enfor
ced amounts to nine cents. —Theie is, therefore
no alternative, but that the large amount of
goods at the Pass, must either be smug
gled over, or remain unsold for a long
time. —The editor of the Ledger is of opin
ion that it is the object of the Mexican Govern
ment to cut off all trade and intercourse with
the Uniteo States.
The Apache Indians are committing depre
dations in the neighborhood of El Paso. A let
ter states that within the two weeks previous
to its date, they had killed nine men within a
distance of fifteen miles of the Pass. There are
no American soldiers nearer than Fort Fillmore
a distance of 45 miles, while the whole frontier
is exposed, and without a single soldier, as far
as Leona station, a distance of 860 miles. But
the writer says, they could do but little if they
were there, as those now at Fort Fillmore have to
cultivate the soil and raise their own corn, which
leaves them little nr no time f**r fighting.
Thomas J. Jennings, E*q., has been elected
Attorney General of Texas.
The San Antonio Ledger states that Major
Neighbors has now in a staU’ of maturity a
species known as the rattoon cotton,a re-sptir.g
from the plant <*f list year; and is confident
that the neighborhood of San Antonio is equal,
and iu many respects superior to the other por
tions of the State for the cultivation of this
plant.
The Indianola Bulletin of the oth inst. says
YVe notice that the cotton is beginning to
come in. As usual, Capt. Retd of Victoria, is in
the foremost list, several bales from his planta
atioti having been received lasi week. The
shipments this season will bo very considerable,
enough, so, vve hope, to give some standing to
our place as a cotton mart.
A letter from the mouth of the Trinity, dated
the sth inst says; “It has rained almost incessant
ly for more than a month past. Everv thing is
afloat.’’
A considerable number of Kossuth hats have
lound their way to Santa Fe, and the Gazette
says the wearers plume themselves considerably
upon their own importance.
Mr. Ilart, an American residing near El Paso,
has constructed a darn npon the Rio Grande
which the Mexicans affirm is of serious detri
ment to them in times of low water. It is
thought the matter, small as it is, will become
a national affair. Doubtful, unless it can be
shown that* codfish are at stake.
Chihuahua. —A letter from Chihuahua, of
July 30th, says considerable excitement exists
there in consequence of some change or derange
ment of the revenue regulations, which has
grown out of a controversy or some ill feeling
existing between Gov. Cordaro and Gen. Trias,
the millitary commander. —Each has his party
and his barkers, and it is believed the difficulty
will end in a revolution. The mass are be
lieved to>side with Cordaro.
Business is rather duH in consequence of the
above state of affairs, but it is believed that trade
will revive as soon as the crops begin to come
in.

PREAMBLE.
When in the course of human events it be
comes necessary for one body of people to dis
solve themselves from another, and assume
amongst the numerous societies of the earth
the separate ami equal station, which the laws
! of nature entitle them to, a decent respect for
the opinions of mankind require that they should
i declare the causes which impel the separation.

Scott and Graham Meeting held there. Go on friends-,
there’s a good time coming.
Correspondents will please remember our rule in
relation to communications.
Our contemporary of the Journal pronounces
the Scott meeting at Atlanta “a failure.” We
respectfully ask the gentleman to bear in mind
the sacred motto, “veritas vinoit.” So many
Websterians are returning to the true fold
cryiflg peccavi that we are disposed to tem

however, beyond which, forbearance ceases to
be a virtue. Let our friend take heed.

Suicide Dr. Geo. K. Holloway committed sui
cide at Albany. Georgia, or. Saturday the 11th instant,
by taking a dose of morphine. Whether he took it
with the view of destroying himself,or for ihe par pose of
prevent ing die recurrence of a chill with which he was
threatened, it is not positively known. l)r. II was
well known in Warren, Laurens, and Wilkinson coun
ties, and would have been highly esteemed as a physi
cian, but for the abruptness of his manners, lie
was from Petersburg, Virginia, and came to Georgia
about 25 years ago.
Barbrnie at L! range.
We undorstaud that there will be a S.-ott Barbecue
at Lagrange on Saturday the 2d October. Many dis
tinguished speakers are expected. Go friends—all
that the people require, is the truth, arid that they can
not hear from wire pullers.
Let die people imet and let the people talk and
Georgia yet will go for the War worn Hero.
Casualty. Dr. Thomas J. Johnson of Jeffer
sonville. Twiggs county, a physicia i of emme e for
his age, was thrown from his horse on Thursday, the
1 6tli instant, when within three hundred yards of the
ltoue of a patient and killed. The community in
which he practised feel deeply the loss sustained in his
death. It is rare to find all the qualities of head and
heart in such harmony as were possessed bv the de
ceased.
Juvenile Books.
We have received several volumes of Juvenile
Rooks, from the press of D. Appleton & Cos., which
we have only time to notice the captions of:
Footsteps to Natural History ,—lllustrated. A
beautiful ytory Bix>k for children.
Tales of the Country Of the same character
with the proceeding.
Uncle Harvey's Tales, of home and foreign Scenes.
Good for erery thin'', A Story by Mrs. Harwell,
with Illustrations on wood.
All these bo ks are gotten up in good st\le—fine
paper and large, clear print, and are on Side at SJuard
man’s.
Never Correct Mistakes. W ith a few hono j
rable exceptions, the Pierce press are never caught cor
recting any error into which they may have fallen, in
tegard to Gen. Scott. We believe we do not recollect
seeing one solitary correction of the many base calum
nies circulated against the old hero, except in the Sa
vannah Georgian 1 The Federal Union, Georgia
Telegraph and Albany Patriot have all published the
Wade story of Scott saying he ‘would cutoff his right
hand before he would aid in the extension of slavery, i
but not the reparation. The Mapp story of Pierce tel
ling Hale that he would have to step over his dead body j
in his match against ttie South is another of the lies
published, hut never contradicted by them, though
Hale lias nailed it to the counter. Soon, ad infini
tum. No matter how clear the refutation these edi
tors scorn to correct any errors they may make. It
is against their religion to do justice.
Improvement in Dentistry.
Wo received a circular from a Dentist of New
Orleans some week since and omitted to give it
the attention it deserves.
It explains a now principle by which teeth
are attached to plates for the mouth and com
bines so many advantages for the wearer, that
all who have need of any thing in that line
cannot fail to admire the beauty and neatness
of the work.
It is an invention of Dr. J Allen, of Cincin
nati, who, we notice is receiving many enco
miums from members of his profession, besides
a good bonus for his patent.
Texas Productions.
The following extract of a letter, written by an in
telligent planter of Texas, formerly of Montgomery Cos.
Ala., to Ins friend in this city, may be relied on, im
plicitly. The writer is well known to us. and we know
him to be ineapible of any exaggeration in his state
ments of the remarkable fertility of up country Texas
Lands. It may, however, as well be stated, that the
Major w no drone of a planter, and that to his success
•ul cultivation of tin soil, he is indebted for some con
siderable portion of his exhubet ant crops :
Montgomery Cos., Texas, Aug. 29, 1852.
Dear Sir :—[ rece ved your letter ot the 9th inst.,
and seas glad to hear you were all well, and that your
crops were so promising, particularly the corn. You
say your river land will make 40 bushels of com to the
acre and ask if my upland will do it. One of my nar
neighbors (Mr. It.) rode with ine in my corn a few
days since, and thinks it the best eared corn that he ev
er saw. He is of the opinion that it a ill produce 75
bushels per acre, and what gives his opinion weight is.
that he is a Tennesseean. Several of my neighbors
estimate their corn crop at 75 bushels to the acre, and
I have offered to bet that I will beat any of them. I
have given you the opinion of my neighbors, and will
now give you mine. I think I shall average front 50
to 60 bushels of corn in my whole crop. To see win til
er I am right or not in this, I intend to select an acre
or two and have them measured, and will let you know
the result. One thing is evident and it ought to be
known in the older States, viz: we shall have plenty
of corn for immigrants next year, and that too, at great
ly reduced prices. We begun very early (July) to use
it, but. the great quantity grown forbids other than low
prices. I ant glad to hear that lands have risen in
Georgia, though I doubt the permanency of the pres
ent prices and ant inclined to think they will recede,
and n>> one be benefited, unless it be the sagacious
seller, who is looking to a removal to the great South-
West. I consider my lands worth S2O per acre, and
would not take it to-day ; and yet I only gave $1 per
acre, to begin my settlement with, and have since
bought at much less rates, lands lying adjacent to me.
You are mistaken about the lands in Baker County
producing more cotton thau our uplands. My cotton
has grown too large and is too thick to make as much
as it would if the contingenees could have been fore
seen, which have produced this result. The distance
between our rows is 5 feet and the limbs of the cotton
are so interlocked as to make it difficult to get through it.
I have not an acre but would reach your shoulders on
horseback. If we bad bad dry weather in July apd
August, our cotton w „ uld
