these questions evince considerable ig
norance of the true position of parties
fn Washington, or that it is another of
those miserable, bat ineffectual effort*
to shift from their own shoulders upon
thpae of Others, the responsibility rest
ing upon the Democratic party fora fail
ure to orgahiM the 'Congress of the Uni

were recently passed by the two Hou
ses of the Legislature of the 8tate of
Virginia.
' "Resolve J, Theft OM recommend

all the elements of Opposition to Re-
pubBouafam and its candidate for Spea
ker, on any terms consistent with fair
ness and honor, whsrssoevsr by such
union its defeat can be accomplished,
and the organisation of the House bo
effected.”
This resolution .passed by a Demo
cratic Legislature breathes the spirit
which should animat* the breast and
P*.upnt*Hho action* of every patriot and
ud every man at the South true to her
honor and her interests. We heartily
endorse it, and in our humble judgment
when the enemies of theSouth and the
Constitution are marshalling their dark
hosts, and (heir traitorous Jtearta ar
swelling with sanguine, anticipations of
victory, and their foul Up* “breathing
out threatening!and slaughter” against
our institutions and against ourselves,
it is no time for us to.be dividedamong
ourselves, no time for crimination, and
[ v recrimination, no timefor partisan feel
ing to gain suob an asoendency in our
midst as to induce representatives of a

tor In his blind seal, tojipply such an
epithet as “tr<oeA«y” to men fighting a
common foe, and identified with him
in everything except party, simply be
cause they refase to throw away their
votes upon a man whom there is no pos
sible chance of electing. The proposi
tion has bsen made to the Democrats in
the House by the Southern Opposition
members, that when the Democratic
candidate obtained a sufficient number
ofvotes to enable the latter, bolding the
balance of power, to elect him and de
feat Sherman they would cast their votes
for him, provided the Democrats would
vote for a Southern Opposition candi
date where by so doing the same end
could be attained. This proposition ev
identity so “consistent with fairness and
honor” was*rtjeoted. And the reason is
apparent. Because the Democratic can
didate never had been and never would
bo placed in that position where the
Southern Opposition members could se
cure his election. And in support of
this assertion we give the following ex
tract from the Washington Neva, and
it is Democratio authority that we doubt
not the Southerner will not impeach. In
noticing the return of Hon. J. J. Jones
from Washington city the -News says
“Mr. Jones informs us that there was
not the least prospect of eleoting a
Speaker at the time he left, nor has any
thing transpired even from the begin
ning, that would point to a solution of
the difficultv under which the House is
laboring. He says further, that

“Asa measure of poiiey, looking to

We think, to unite in defence of the
South, But as to the Democratic party,
as at present constituted in Congress,
composed of tariff and internal im
provement- plunlcrors, and Squatter
Sovereignty fanatics—with such men as
Hiokman, and Forney, and Adrmin, and
Douglas, within its pale, to influence its
counsels—not only ought the South
Americans from the South refuse to
have anything to do with them, but the
Democrats or the South ought to cut
them off, and rid themselves of the
foul pollution of their political or party
association. If the Southern Democrats
stood in this position, we have not a
doubt that they would receive the hear
ty support of the greater portion of the
South Americans. Mr. McRae, it ap

entirely justifiable in his charge, that to
the South Americans is properly attribu

The Southern Confederacy.
Has been eliciting the views and opin
ions of some of the Democratic leaders
in relation to the nomination for the
next Presidency by the Charleston Con.
vention. Hon. Hiram Warner in a let
ter expresses his preference for Alex. II,
Stephens above all others. Hon. A. R
Wright is for Toombs first, then Ste
phens and then Stephen A. Douglas.—
He is characteristically warm and en
thusiastic in his eulogies of this last gen
tieman, and in passing gives some side
thrusts at the Administration. He says
it “sent a Yankee Captain to Central
America to take Walker out with bis
young men “mostly from th* Southern
States,” and he styles this “a blow at the
vitale of the South.” Again he chargei
it with using its “whole power to beat
Douglas out of the Democratic party
and to “put a Blank Republican in.”—
We presume he thinks that it would
have bean a congenial place for Abo
Lincoln.

The New York Day Book republjphes
a portion of a letter written by this
man Fee to the New York Tribune.
“ R. H. Helper has a book for tho
times, the "Impendiug Crisis.” I wish
it were comprised in a tract. His friends
propose, as I learn, an abridged edition.
I want to urge i)s speedy publica tion.
I hope money wilt not be wanting; that
those who have, will inquire if it is need
ed. Delays are injurious. Slavery is in
trenching itself. Friends of Freedom
will weary unless their hopes are cheer
ed and rising energies fed. Men hero
are ready to distribute it; one or two
colporteurs are travelling regularly and
distributing such.
“There ought to be a National Colpor
teur Convention hold—twenty-five faith
ful men selected to go to Missouri, twen
ty-five more to Kentuoky. Load these
with Helper’s book, Goodloe’a tract, “Is
it Expedient to Introduce Slavery into
Kansas I” revised for the South, Love-
joy’s speech, and scores of others. Let
these colporteurs go to the non-slave-
holding counties, where the voters are;
let them spread truth in the namo and
fear of Goa, let them enlighten and
rouse the voters, and by 1860, in unmis
takable terms, tell of the speedy down
fall of slavery.”
This is the same man whose expulsion
irem Kentucky, together with thirty,
eight others, we noticed a few days ago.
Messrs. Gilbert & Co.—Gents-.—I ac

note for $20, instead of the Cash, as it
will save Exchange, and there is really
no necessity of sending money to Bal
timore and having it sent bnck again
“in a few days.” This arrangement
“confidently” think will be “satisfactory”
to you, for it is done in "goodfaith.”
I really foel under many obligations
that you have chosen me as tho object of
your liberality, and do assure you that
when that $37,000 prize comes to hand,
tho "Excitement” which it will raise in
this community will swallow up and ex*
tinguish the “John Brown raid,” and
you will sell more tickets hero than
travelling Circusses and Monkey shows
takooff in twenty years. This is
good loealily for sue!) an experiment, for
there is a vust number of clever people
here who are in the habit of racking
their brains to devise some way to get
money without working for it, and
know very well that when they are sat
isfied they can do so through your Com
pany, they will cheerfully give yon that
preference whicli you have shown to ine.
Our Courtis now in session, and I very
much regret you aro not hero to lay
your propositions before our Grand Jury
for I have no doubt they would properly
appreciate it, and out of gratitude, board
you a while at tho public expense.
Our Legislature, in its generosity)
passed a special act, (which may be
found in the 11th division of tho Penal
Code,) to compensate such honorable

Singular.
In its synopsis of tho proceedings of
Congress the National Intelligencer has
the following paragraph:
“ A sharp discussion followed between
several gentlemen as to the endorse
ment by Republican members of the
doctrines of an incendiarg book, in the
course of which Mr. Curtis, of Iowa,
said no member adopted such doctrines.
: le disclaimed and denounced the book,
as (ho said) did every other man on the
floor.”'
We call it a most singular circum
stance that thirty-eight members of the
) resent House of Representatives should
lave endorsed the Helper book,
through their own signatures, and that
they now profess to denounce it. Their
excuse is, os we understand it, that they
did not know what they signed 1 They
endorsed doctrines without knowing
what the doctrines were. If they ars
to be allowed to creep out of this busi
ness in this way, and it passes with the
public os a good and valid rule, to hold
;rue generally, how shall we ever know,
when wo see a man’s signature attachec l
to any political, philosophical or even
civil document, whether he really sanc
tions what the document contains or
notT Under this rule, he would have
the right to aver—premising always that
his conscience should partako of the
nature of India rubber—that he never
meant to recommend what should ap-
>ear on the face of the writing. The
aw makes no provisiou for ignorance or
carelessness of this kind. If a man’s
name is attached to a legal document,
it is in vain for him to say afterwards,
in order to escape the just responsibili
ty of his act, that he did not mean to
sign it. The only excuse that will hold
:ood is that force was used to make him
lo what he would not otherwise have
done. In that case tho law absolves
him, as it manifestly ought to do. He
may, indeed, attempt to prove a con
spiracy to deceive him, or that ho was
notin a sound condition of mind at the
time, and if successful he may get rid
of his responsibility. Perhaps the thir
ty-eight members of the House set up
one or the other of these pleas, and per-

A Dagverbeotvpe.—The Charleston
Mercury—a Democratic Journal—thus
daguerreotypes the National Democratic
party: ,
“It will not do now for any press
which expects the confidence of the
peojple of the South, to bo lavishing its
praises and confidence on the Demo
cratic party, or the union of these States.
The Democratic party is a thing of his
tory. It4s passed away. Nothing re
mains of it but a ghastly skeleton, hold
C together only by the tenacious wires of
tiblic plunder. Its life-blood, consist-
ig of its principles, has been drained
out of it in the North by Northorn sec
tionalism ; and it* feebleness, in its ex
hausted condition, has been too clearly
manifested in the late elections in tho
Northern States, to inspire the least
confidence in its efficiency to support
the South even ns a mere political or
ganization.”
The Slavery Question.— Change of
Front in Republican Papers.—The New
York Courier & Knquirer, edited by
James Watson Webb, emphatically
says “slavery is ontitlcd to every par
ticle of protection which the Consti
tution affords it. It may not be med
dled with, either by tho General Gov
ernment or the people of the free States
and it is the duty .of the General Gov
ernment to protect the institution
where it exists, and to frown down all
interference from abroad.”
The New York Times, once a great
Republican organ, lias nlso come to con
servative conclusions, and demands thnt
the slavery agitation shall stop. It says
that “if we are not really th% blindest
people that ever existed, and judicious-
set apart for destruction, we ought now
to begin to see that tho most important
political work we have to do, is to combine
as one people in the rceolve to pul this social
question <f slavery out of the reach of par
tisan agitators. It is a madness—to which
the madness of John Brown was states
manlike good sense—to trifle any long
er in caucuses and conventions with the
issues so full of tho very lifo’s blood of
ono great section of the Confederacy.—
Tho South owes it to herself to press
this view of tho matter clamly upon the
mind; and Bhe may rest assured that her
appeal to the practical conservatism of
the free States will not be made in vain
if it be made temperately, earnestly and
in good faith."
The Mount Vernon Ladies’ Associ
ation of ms Union.—We have received
an extra of the Mount Vernon Record,
filled with a circular issued by Miss Ann
Pamela Cunningham, Regent of the
Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association of
the Union. From this document it ap
pears that the whole amount collected
for tho purchase of the Mount Vernon
estate, over and above expenditures, is
$232,206 08. It is stated that the As
sociation is indebted to the exertions of
Mr. Everett for more than one fourth of
this sum, viz: $09,004 77; from his ora
tion on Washington, $50,042 48; from
iiis Now York Ledger connection, $12,-
094 51; from donations handed to hint,
$1,690 18; from certain Indies, $20;
crease of interest, $5,157 09; total,
$69,004 77. The fund socured is suffi
cient for the purchase of the estate, with
$20,000 over to put it in repair. But a
further sum of $140,000 is needed as
fund for future repairs and mainten
ance. It is denied thnt John A. Wash
ington, tho proprietor, has failed, and
the payments made to him been lost.—
A history of tho tillo is then given, be
ginning with a grant from one Culpeper
to Nicholas Bpenser and John Wash
ington, 1674, down to the contract with
Hits Association in 1855.

FOR WHEAT, CORN, ROOT CROPS, COT
TON, Ac.
TJRIOR TO the year 1847, Superphosphate
X. had been made in England, by treating
burnt bones with sulphuric seid, and by the
formation of sulphate of lime, thus abstract
ing ono atom of lime from tho bones, a solu
ble phosphate had been formed. In 1847, J.
J. Slopes made a serins of experiments, thus:
he found, analytically, that Peruvian Guano
contained the necessary elements for insu
ring the growth of plants, but not in the
right relative proportions to each other. He
instituted a series of experiments, practical
ly) by which he proved that one hundred
pounds of burnt bones, treated with filty-six
pounds of sulphuric acid, thirty-six pound*
of Peruvian Guano, twenty pounds of sul
phate of ummouiu, formed a mixture every
way superior to Peruvian Guano, and that
it would not excite the soil, but would con-
timiully add to its fertility.
He had found that ono barrel of blood,
fresh from tho unimal, mixed with a cord of
organic mutter, would, by fermentation, pro
duce a mini lire equal to a cord of well rotted
stable manure, lie further found that sev

On retiring from the connection heretofore
oxisting between Messrs. Sloan, Hooper and
myself I cannot forbear expressiug muuy
thanks to all those who have honored me
with their confidence, a,nd interested them
selves in my welfare. My business relations
have been of a pleasant character, and with
many ragreti J am from bad health compel
led to quit an association which has been i
pleasant ono to me. The new firm that suc
ceeds is fully entitled to your confidence, and
will conduct the business with onergy and
ability. Hoping that you will c ntlmio to
thorn a like patronage as it has been my good
fortune to receive from you,
I am yours trulv,
S. W. ALLMAN.

of which are epual in power and hinting ef

furra-rs of the country, hoiug fifty companion
have imitated this article und^r varioua

popular, have traduced Prof. Mapus and nia

of this articlo, who manufacture an inferior

qinre less fertilising material each year. Anil
this is particularly true of Tobacco and Cot

Among tho advantages arising from tho
uhooI Nitrogcnisod Superphorphate 1 aro the
following: It carries no weed seed to tho
soil; it prevent* rust, and insures the perfoct-
iug of plants; thus, when used on Cotton, tho
bolls do not fall and. as by tho experience of
Mr. Lomafl, Col. Davis, and Col. Goodwin
unci others, it gives a greater weight per acre
or cotton. Far Wheat, it has steadily prov
ed itself to be superior to tho Peruvian Gu
ano; when in contact with Heed, it docs not
destroy it as does the Peruvian Guano; and
it supplies tho delkdeucy of the Phosphate
of Lime and other ingredients, produced l»J

larger amount of flic inorganic constituents
of tho soil, or as sometimes called to act as
an excitant. The market gardeners of New
Utrecht commenced somo years ago by using
two hundred weight of guano to the acre;
they arC'itow compellod to uso twelve hun
dred weight of guano to produce the same
eilcct, and thoir land is evidently impover
ished its use, while those who have used
the Nitrogeni-ed Superphosphate of Limo,
have steadily found their soils to be improv
