SOUTHERN INSTITUTIONS.
Wo present to our readers a powerful nrroy of fact*
from tha Richmond Enquirer, which, in addition
to those heretofore spread before our Southern read,
er*, should teach them that they, by the support of
the federal candidate, are strengthening the hands
of their enemies, and paralyzing the noble exertions
of their Northern friends.
If-the uncompromising pledges nf Van Burkk to
arrest nil congressional encroachments upon our
constitutional rights cniinotexciien fooling of rcclp-
rocily, nnd awoke those who, whan the contest shall
come, must bear tho brunt of the battle, all the tlart.
ting facts which may be produced ns evidence of
the hostiliiy of the whig* to our domostic institutions,
wo fear, will) not convince such men.
Mr. W. P. Fessenden, the wing member elect
from the Cumberland District in Maine, has, in a
letter written on the3dinst. published in tho Intel.
Jigtncer at Washington, disclaimed being an nboli.
tiunist, and denied that he ever has been a member
■ufony abolition society.
His father, Mr. Samuel Fessenden, "has for
some years,” ho further remaiks, * boennn avowed
abolitionist."
Now let us compare the professions of Mr. W. P,
Fessenden, issued after his election, when hocould
not injure his prospects at the bnllot box by such
disclaimer, with his course only last goring in tho
legislature of Maine, in opposition ton resolution
’of the House of last session, parsed after much agi
tatlon on this exciting subject.
The resolution went further than even many mem.
bers of the South liad.nt previous sessions, required
as nn net of justice to their lacerntcd feelings,
The House in passing it, nobly refusad even to
11 receive or entertain in any way whatever” these
odious, thcsriioleful petitions. And by what vote T
By nlenn majority of six out nf 218 rotes!
Twenty seven Northern Dem'crate voted for this
resolution—one Northern Whig—every Southern
Democrat, while four Southern Whigs out of 42
of that political creed voted against the resolution!!!!
Theroign nf peace was restored by tins resolution,
incorporated as it was in the rules of the House,nnd
l lie fell spit it, which sought to tfamplo on Southern
tights, nnd consume the session to tho detriment of
the public business, was rebuked by tho lnlty tone
of a Northern Democracy.
It was litis pncilic resolution which Mr. W. P.
Fessenden only iust spring opposed, nnd that con*
aplcuously.
Now, ha would disclaim being nn Abolitionist,
•Jhat the Whigs of tho South may be propitinted to
favor the election of the nominee of those Incendia
ries.
People of the South, can you respond to the
shouts of the Whig Presses, when they hail such a
politician a* a true Whig.
Let him take Ids seat in Congress, and what so
curity hnvo you, thut with his quiet uml deceitful
manner, ho will nut, like another Jonh, smite you
under the fifth tiht
Bui wo leave this Janus faced politician to his
whig friends, and turn to the God-like Daniel, who
in his efforts to mast* himself nppear a Jeffersonian
Democrat, uttered tbe following at Richmond,
<Va:)
Extraclfvom Mr. Wehtier's speech, delivered on
the 5th inst, at Richmond, Vu.
Well, 1 will say it again, and 1 wish you to re*
tnemher wlmt I Say—I will repast it—ana l wish
you to toll it wherever you go—sprend it abroad up
on the wings of the wind, that I, Daulel Webster,
herein the front of the Cupitol of Virginia—in tho
month of October, 1040-wlih yon October sun
shining upon me—in the midst of this assembly—
before the whole country—and with nil the respon
sibility that attache* to me—or to my name in any
way—declare thnt there is no power either in Con-
cress or tho General Government, in tho slightest
degree to interfere with the institution or Domestic
Slavery! [Tremendous cheering, and cries of
“That’s two thousand votes for Harrison.]
Will tho South trust this able nnd consistent
Federalist, who until ha *» heretofore,
when Democracy triumphed over Federalism, been
jn tho front rank of New England Federalists, and
opposed all legislation calculated in sirenco tho
clamors and paralyze the efforts of the ally of
Northern Whigs T
We do not believe It.
But wo next opprnnch the Whig Governor of N.
York—thnt great State which tho modern Whigs
cinim'fur Van Buukn- The nets ol this Executive,
nnd pntent Whig Legislature, will he abhorred in
after times, as. n principal wedge against tho rights
of the Southorn People. Yea, the Demostnt* of
the North nnd South detest thorn now, for limy de*
prive the citizen nf Georgia of his constitutional
‘‘right to recover his property, should he he so inju
dicious as to risk litem in this recently Whig State.
Pause, follow-citizens, and reflect on the exertions
of your enemies of tho modern Whig parly r>f tho
North, nnd.rally in the support of your friends, who
have sacrificed all but their principles in sustaining
your principles.
Reflect on tho issue—Democracy, with the Go
vernment administered ns of yore, and Federalism,
with every change which a party advancing no
principles hut. tho principle of opposition to tho
Democratic enndidato. which glares as the noon
day sun.
Would Dnnicl Webster' hove uttered atich senti
ments, liod lie not trod tho soil of tho Old Dominion?
Would the fnvorito of New England Federalists
hnvo dared to utter other opinions ?—No lJfCon-
trast his recent Inngungo.with former opinions nnd
votes, which are of record, nnd the mask fulls from
this would be " Jeffersonian Democrat."

PENNSYLVANIA.
Federal whiggery in trouble.—It is a curious
fact that In somo of the counties of Pennsylvania,
the friends of Harrison seem to he so few in number
thnt to make up thnir tickets, they are compelled
to ttso the names of democrats against their withes.
In Pike county, for instance, no loss titan three pri
sons placed upon the federal ticket have publicly
come out und refused to servo. Mr. C. B Ridg-
way whom they had nominated for Auditor—Mr.
Mosos Brink, nominated for Commissioner, nnd
Mr. Jacob Wotsbrook, also nominated as Auditor.
Those gentlemen are democrats, und wish no con
nection with tho federal parly.—Their declination
carries nwoy one-halfof the Harrhoniatt nominn
tions for Pike, and furnishes some idea or the per
ploxitics of tho enemy in tho interior, by showing
that there are places where they cannot oven form a
ticket from their own ranks.—Pennsylvanian, I2M

STARTLING FACTS.
To show, .whethor Ambnlltiordam is a Humbug
or not—to show, that it is tho interest of tho South
ern Whigs to nffect to deny it—to show, thnt there
is on amalgamation between Northern Whiggery
und Aboliiiuniim—wo submit the following tinques
ttonnble facts. We challenge any Wltig to contra
diet them, or to deny their alarming import to
Southern Rights and Southern Institutions. Rend
these few fuel* oven—and wo have hundreds of n
more portentous character to produce, and let the
R. Wltig then dare to deny the dangers which
hnng over the whole South from W. H. Harrison’s
election. Let the Portsmouth Times idly threaten
to stop “all discussion in it* territory, except at tho
bayonet’s point.” We cull no other witness upon
the stand, except thoso who Itavo como before us
since our last paper went to press.
• Tho first witness we summon at the bar of the
Public, is one of the purest Democrats, one of the
firmest friends of tho South, one of tho most dis
tinguished sons of Maine. Hour him, us follows;
Extract of letter from a distinguished eilistn.
“Augusta, (Me.) Sept. 26, 1040.
“To show the political alliance between the
Whigs of Muino, nnd tho Abolitionists, I enclose
you the following extract from tho Kennebec Jour
nal, (the leading Federal paper of the Sluie,) of
March 17,1840. It is a part of its Legislative
Report:
“Report of committee on the petition of Samuel
M. Pond and als. Eli Thut stun and nls andSumuel
Wood, jv., and als. that the legislature will express
its disapprobation of the Gag Law adopted by tho
House of Representative* at Washington, came
from the Senate accepted. The c .tnmluee report
ed thnt legislation it.inexpedient.
“Mr. Fiesscnden moved to amend tho report, so
as to introduce the following resolves;
“Whereas, tha House ol Representatives of thn
U.Stntes, did, on the twenty-eighth day of January
last, adopt, as one of its standing rules, the fol.uw
ing, viz;
“Resolved, That no petition, memoriul, resolti
lion or other pnper, praying for the abolition of sin
very in the District of Columbia, or any Stato or Ter
ritnry, or theshve trade but ween the States or Ter
ritories of the U. S., in which it now exists, shnll
be received by this House, or entertained in any
way what ever. Therefore,
“Resolved, That in tho opinion of thisLcgirin-
tute, such rule is both oibitinry nnd unjust; that its
adoption was an infringement upon the nuinral ami
constitutional rights of the ciiiz-n; nnd thnt wo con
sider it nn assumption of power, founded upon no
correct principles nf legislation, nlnrming In its
extent, nnd dangerous in all its tendencies.
Resolved, Thut the Representatives in Congress
frnm this Slate be requested to exert all their enor
gic* to procure a speedy rescission of tho rulo afore
aaidj—nnd thut the Governor he requested forthwith
to forward to each of said Representative* ucopy of
the Resolve.
“Mr. Deiesdernicr [Democrat] moved thepre-
vious question. ,
“Tbemain question was on accepting the re
port, cutting off the resolutions.
“Mr. Fessenden moved tho yeas and nays, & the
Speukcr decided that tho motion was nut in order,
because no debate is allowed after the main ques
tion is ordered. _
“Mr. Fessenden appealed from ihn decision of
the chair. Tho Speaker decided the nppotri nut te
ho in order.
“The report was accepted, D2 to 45, [nnd so

The second witness wo call to the stand, is Jo
seph Rimer, Into Governor of Pennsylvania, whoso
election was hailed witli cordinl plmisuro by W. C.
Rives —Who was it that in his message to the Lo
gislatute of Pennsylvania of December, 1030, worm
y advocated tho abolition of slnvory in the District
of Columbiu, and thu rejection of tho application of
any now State for udmission into tho Union, in who**
borders slavery was tolerated ? Joseph Ititner.—
Who w-as it that in tho samo message stigmatized
tho conduct of ilm Democratic, Vnn Boren Sena

a base bowing of the knee to tho dark spirit of ■la-

CENTRAL RAIL ROAD.
Wo have been informed by the Engineer of this
-work, thnt he ha* completed thn final loention of
the read to this City. Tha great labor that has
been expended in the examinations of the country
between tho Oconee Rivcrand this place, lias ro
salted in tho discovery of a route of a more favor
able character than coqld have been expected in so
uneven a section of country. The total distance
from tho City of Savannah to tho Ocnmnlgee River
by the route of tho Rail Ron-1, is I90J miles, and
the distance of grading remaining to ho done is
less than 50.miles. The road is now in regular
daily operation for a distance of 122 miles, and
nboutSOO wagons engaged in hauling freight from
the depot todifferunt parts of tho State.
Tho business has so far during the present sea
ton, far exceeded that-of the last, and there ap
pears now to be no room for a doubt of the entire
success of the enterprise, nnd- the profitableness of
tho investimentnf capital.'
There appear* to bo. a diversity of opinion among
OUr citizen* relative to tho question of crosiing the
river ond establishing thn depot on this side, or
terminating tho road on the cast side. Tho Kngi

It will bn percaived that tbe nrmy of England is
exceeded by that of several oflhe other countries;
hut it should also ho recollected thnt in many of bar
colonies, thn native niilit'a, nrd sometimes regular
native sutdiers supply tho plncn of a standing forco
supported by government nt home. Public opinion
has nhm contributed, in snmu measure, to diminish
h< r regular army; hut shu has nn almost countless
militia to recruit from, in caso of need, within her
uwn limits, mid hosts nr Indian Sebovs, and colonial
trunps, which could immediately bo called into ac
tion Franco has her National Guard aa a maga
zine for filturn “ Imperial Gaurds.” Russia has tho
largest stnnding nrmy, in proportion to herpopuia-
linn, and of course has fewer resource* in caseof
accident. In tho abovo. table, the standing army of
Italy is probably that of the Pnpo, all tha northern
nnd most populous part of tho country is in tho
hand* uf Austria.
AVith respect to the navies, we have no particular
data to which wn can refer, hut believe that Russia
has more vessels in active service than either of tbe
other poWcr*. Her military, establishment has
lung h-en her heaviest expense Sim hat a vast
linn orfrontior to defend from the invasions ofsa
rugn trihe-; nnd even were ibis not tho cose,her
jealousy of Franca and England, and her rapacious
views, w ould alono be sufficient motives for keeping
together lior v eiiurmnus forces. She wants, however,
one great aijicln. which will prevent her from bo
aiming-formidable nt a distance from her frontier.

gold, her armies could not have reached Paris intbo
