I fa Senator from a slavcholding State, and a member

Xmnstrations, Southern Democrats were found voting
L ,he establishment of the Territorial Government of
I, prohibiting the existence of slavery there. All
11.I I. tacts show us conclusively, that such is the tnad-
I o rfparty faction, that to attain its triumphs, the in-
I lulinn of slavery is ready to be sacrificed. It is time
■ the South to take care of herself.
I Resolved, therefore, That as the North has de
luded the exclusion of slave labor from any territory
K,e acquired from Mexico, we demand that such ter-
Iry as may be acquired shall be appropriated to the
I of slave labor.

K Hon. John C. Calhoun on this subject, in the Uni-
I States Senate, and we hereby tender to him the
mage of our gratitude lor lus patriotic stand in behalf

It the malevolence of party faction, and the blindness
Political ambition, should have so infatuated any por

Some Very Good Reasons*
I Samuel F. Rice, Esq., is a candidate for Congress
I the District in Alabama, formerly represented by
I Elix (J. McConnell, and more recently by Mr Bow-
Mr. Rice is a Democrat, and as that party lias a
Ije majority in that district, the Whigs have made no
nination, but are contenting themselves with acting
part of‘‘lookers on.” Some of the Democracy
e determined to destroy Mr. Rice by trying to iden
him with the Whigs, and by charging him with hav
sown dissentions among the members of the party
is has catted out from him a U tter, in which he
rs that the present Administration has been the sole
ise of the recent defeats of the Democracy in Vir
ia and other States, and gives the following as some
he many causes therefor :
1. (Jetting our country into war with Mexico,
*n it was as easy to avoid a war with Mexico about
cas, as it was to avoid a war with Great Britain a
! Oregon. Failing to use the same prudence to a
warwith Mexico, as was used to avoid the war
i Great Britain. The President’s consulting the
ate, before taking any decisive step towards Great
ain; and taking decisive steps towards Mexico
1 1 ithout consulting cither branch of Congress.
IThe attempt to tax coffee and tea, on the miser*
I Me and unfounded pretext that it was necessary to car-
I f on or support the war!
1 1 “3. The failure to reduce the price of public lands
then the Democratic party had tiic President and ma-
Irities in both Houses of Congress. Uniting the pro
pped reduction of the public lands, in the same bill with
le odious tax on coflee and tea ; and thus losing the
kluctkm of the larnls by press ng the coffee and tea tax
fith it.
n4. The attempt to make Thomas H. Benton Lieut,
eneral and to give him command of all our forces in
ie field:—thus placing a mere politician in command
soar gallant and experienced generals, officers and
•Idlers, when Gen. Taylor was gaining every battle
M adding unsurpassed lustre to the fame of his coun
”s. The passage of what is commonly called the Ten
ieguneiit Bill—by which the freemen of this country
•ho may go in those regiments, are deprived of select-
Ig their officers, and have to go under oflicers selected
Y the President. This monarch ml, kingly, and anti- •
(publican Bill was prease 1 through Congress by Mr
blk and his friends, though opposed by several leading
Laments in ihe two Houses of Congress.
W‘Cr The encumbering the resolution ofthanks to Gen. j
■ay lot and his army, with un unnecessary and iinpro|)-
I amendment—tlie efleet of a part of which was to in
luuate that he had not done his whole duty at Monte
[•
I ”7. The refusal of the House of Representatives to
kss a resolution calling on the President for proper in
prmation concerning Santa Anna's return to Mexico,
■ithout any disturbance from our Navy. Why did a
liajority of the House refuse to call on the President to
let the people know all about the matter of Santa An
ita's return I”
I After some other remarks equally pointed, Mr. Rice ,
ikes the following distinct avowal of his views in re
tard to the next Presidency :
I“1 in favor of Gen. Taylor as the Southern candi
date for the Presidency. Many democrats in other
ptates are for him. Senator Nicholas who was once a
R billed States Senator and is now n Senator in the Lou-
Isiiiitt legislature, and who has ever been a true dern
joeiiit bus nominated Gen. Taylor for the Presidency in :

Col. Marshall on Gen. Taylor.
Col. Titos. F. Marshall, of Kentucky, having re
turned from the scat of war, recently addressed the citi
zens of New Orleans. In the course of his remarks, he
said:
“Having advocated the annexation of Texas, he felt
bound to stand by the consequences. He volunteered
in the service of the country, and soon found himself at
the scat of war. (Jen. Taylor fought and won the bat
tle of Monterey. He advanced upon Saltillo, am 1 pre
paratory to a descent upon San Luis Potosi, and ulti
mately upon the city of Mexico itself, he had marched
to Victoria, to discover if there was nny other pass in
the mountains but that of the Rinconada which lie could
advance and avoid the waterless desert beyond Buena
Vista, or through which the enemy might enter the val
ley of the Rio Grande and fell upon his rear. Whilst
this reeonnoissanee was being made, he (Mr. M ) was
ordered to proceed to Gen Taylor’s camp with despatch
es. These were the despatches which announced to
(Jen. Taylor that the flower of his army was to lie taken
from him, to operate on anew base, and ordered him
merely to stand on the defensive.
“Mr. Marshall said, great nn opinion as he had form
ed of Gen. Taylor before he met him at Victoria, he
was totally unprepared for the loftiness of character dis
played by him on receiving those despatches. He, up
on whose crest victory had perched, the lion who was
preparing for another spring upon the foe, saw without
a murmur that his claws were to be tom from him, that
he was to be enfeebled and compelled to act on the de
fensive, and never, Mr. M. said, did he conceive that a
great soldier, fresh from the fields of his victories, could
submit in the simple, uncomplaining manner Gen. Tay
lor difl to orders depriving him of his right ami.
“The best of his troops were withdrawn from him.
With such as were left under his immediate command
he retraced his steps to Monterey, and shortly after
joined Gen. Wool at Saltillo. Duplicates of the de
spatches had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and,
acquainted him with the weakness of Gen Taylor’s force
he soon made demonstrations indicating an intention
to advance and give battle. It was now, Mr. M said,
(Jen Taylor displayed those qualities which proclaim
him the greatest military chieftain of the age. It was
known that the enemy was overwhelmingly superior in
numbers and commanded by their most skilful general*
and military critics declared the only course to pursue
was to fell back upon Monterey. Gen. Taylor, with a
perception of all the consequences of such a step, thought
and acted otherwise. Fronting him was an enemy
20,000 strong; in his rear was Urrea with 3000 cavalry;
his line of communications ran through a country con
taining half a million of population, waiting but the ap
pearance of success on their side to take up arms, and
knowing that even to retreat upon Monterey would be
claimed as a victory ; that then he would be beleagured
by an army of 25,000 men, and that his whole line
would be cut up, he determined not to give an inch, but
to stake all upon a battle, in which every tiling was to
lie gained by victory, and disaster could not have been
increased by defeat. The result is known. The cour
age of Gen. Taylor, said Mr. M.,no one disputed, but
some denied him great mental powers. He (Mr. M.)
pretended to some capacity in judging of men's quali
ties, and if he ever saw genius, military genius of the
highest order, he saw* it in Gen. Taylor. It may be
that God, in great emergencies, had inspired him with
those thoughts which rendered him invincible ; but,
said Mr. Mthe result is the same—there is no difier
ence. To the great soldier, Mr M. said, in his inter
course with Gen. Taylor, he found was added the man
of strict honor, and either as a man or as his command
er he loved him.”— Picayune.

would bo sufficient to capture Uncle Sam's specie. The
American loss in killed aiul wounded must have been

and the nolle me defeated. On the 15th the out posts

Blackberry Syrup.
1 he following is *he recipe for making the famous
Blackberry Syrup No fnnily should be without it;
all who try it will find it a sovereign remedy for bowel
j complaints:
To two quarts of blackberry juice add half an ounce
each of powdered nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice, and
! a quarter of an ounce of powdered cloves. Boil these
together to get the strength of the spice 9, and to pre
j the berry juice. While hot, add a pint of fourth
proof pure French Brandy, and sweeten with loaf sugar.
Give a child two tea-spoons full three times a day, and
i A the disorder is not checked, add to the quantity.
Illarkborrips for Winter Use.
This pleasant fruit may be easily preserved for winter
as follows: To one pound of carefully picked black
berries, take half a pound of sugar and boil them as if
for common preserves, taking care that they are not too
liquid when done. If carefully put up in air tight jars,
they will keep perfectly well during the fall and winter
months and are just as good for pies and tarts ns when
gathered fresh.

Messrs. Editors—l see the Editor of the Albany
Patriot while charging that the South-western Rail
road is to be built for the especial benefit of the Central
Railroad Company, is himself now advocating n direct
Road from Savannah to the Gulf. He would thus out
off South-western Georgia from the benefits of the
Cherokee and Tennessee trade entirely. He would
separate us from the State of Georgia, .and make us
a complete dependency of Florida. In my opinion, it
is just as important for us to get to the mountains as the :
sea-board, and the South-western Road gives u3 this

We cut the following from the Batavia Spirit of the
1 ones of June t!7. Il clearly shows that Wistar's Bal
sam ol Wild Cherry has attained a high reputation in
Batavia as well as in tins city •
BALSAM OK WILD CHERRY —Thia is one of
the very tew patent medicines of the day which we can
recommend with confidence to all who arc affected with
Coughs, Colds, or consumption, or who are predispos
ed to the latter complaint. It lias lieen used with con
siderable advantage by many families in town, and in
a tew stubborn roses has produced highly beneficial tf
tecta —Rochester Daily Adr.
Editors, lawyers, clergymen, and almost evrrv class
have at last found out that Wistar’s Balsam of Wild
l berry is what “n is cracked up to be,” the very best
medicine to be found. It cures all affections of the
Lungs when nothing else will.
CAUTION In setting forth the virtues of Dr Wis
tars Balsam, we have no desire to deceive those who
are laboring under affliction, nor do we wish to eulogize
it more than it justly deserves. Yet when we look a
rouiul and see the vast amount of suffering and distress
occasioned by many oi the disease* m wbS;ii tins med
lc‘n'* has proved so highly successful, we leel that we
cannot urge its claims too strongly, or say too much in
its tuvor.

07-. Sands’ Sarsaparilla l —"Every cel and or
gan ol the human Dody,'’ says a distinguished medical
wn * p r> ‘is originally built, or grows and is renewed by
an independent vital force: and when causes which ar
rested such grow th, or renewal, are removed, then by
the influence ol this vital force, the actions m a part, or
m the whole system, resume their harmonious course,
and the ravages consequent upon disease, are overcome,
obliterated and repaired.” Here is the whole theory oi
disease, and the same author proceeds to say, that in
many dtseases. “substances are conveyed into the blood
which are incapable ol assimilation.” In order, there
fore, to restore “this vital force,” and get rid of th<*se
substances ” it is necessary to employ tin agent which
will act with directness and certainty upon the bloou in
the process of its manufacture, preventing tlie introduc
tion ot nonaanmiiating substances, and thus cutting
away, as it were, the very roots of the disease. That
this preparation is such an agent, is abundantly proved
by the innumerable successful results tiiat have attend
ed its use. It expurgates the source of the disease, and
ot course its onward evidences, robbed of th*ir infectious
substance in the blood, are rapidly absorbed, and tlie
patient is restored to health.

annum, always in advance.
As us name imports, it will be Southern and Pres

edly Presbyterian in its principles—an exponent of our
doctrines and order, a medium of communication for ail
our Churches, an advocate of nil onr institutions. But
while it is thus denominational in its character, it will
be lilieral in its views, expansive in its charity, wide in
its embrace of the. great interests of the Church of
Christ, and of our common country—will aim also at
being rich in religious instruction and fervid with the
Christian spirit—adapted to family reading, not over
looking the lambs ot the flock, fn a word, its design
will Ik; “the edification of the Body of Christ,” in all
thuigs pertaing to life mid godliness.
Tne Southern Presbyterian will have an extenrivs
correspondence scattered throughout the whole of the.
Southern States, and as there is no paper south of the
my of Richmond, Va., devoted to tne particular inter
'•*ts of thnt large nnd growing denomination, it is
tb-night that this enterprise will have peculiar claims
upon the friends of Presbyterianism in tne South. The
first number wili appear about the 20th or 25th of July.
