A Medicine that never Debilitates
dr. sandforfs
INYIGORATOR,
Oil LIVER REMEDY,
IS N ARTICLE THAT EVERT BODY NEEDS WHO IS
not in a perfect state of health, for the Liver Is second only
to the heart in our human economy, and when that is deran
ged the whole vital machinery runs wrong. To find a medicine
peculiarly adapted to this disease has been the study of one
of rhe proprietors, in a large and extended practice tor
the past twent y years, and the result of his experiment isthe
Invigorator, as a never-failing remedy where medicine has
any power to help. Asa liver remedy it has no equal, as all
testify who use it.
4 lady writing from Brooklyn, eays: “Won'dthat 1 could
expresr’ln this short loiter the value your Invigorator has
been to me fn raising a large family ot children, lor It has
never failed to relieve all all affections of the stomach, bowels
or attacks of worms. If mothers had th remedy placed
within their reach, and were taught how to use it, a tearful
and untold amount of agony might be saved.
One of our prominent bankers says, “Five or six years ago
1 found myself running down with a liver difficulty; resorting
to yeur luvigorator, was greatly relieved, and continuing
for a season, was entirely restored.”
A clergyman called at our office the other day and said he
had given a Door woman a bottle,who was suffering very bad
ly from the Liver Complaint, and before she had taken the
whole ol it she was at worn earning bread for ner lamily.
A gentleman, recently from t e west,says, whileat Chicago,
hew satt eked with a slow, lingering lever, that baffled the
sMII of physicians, .but the Invigorator cured him iu a few
days.
Oneof our city merchants said, while on a visit'to Troy, a
few days sinee, he was attacked with bowell and st mach
disorders, so as to confine him to his room, he sent to the drug
store for a bottle of Invigorator. took one dose, which relieved
him so that he was ableto. attend his business.
An acquaintance, whose business compels him to write
most of the time, says he became so .weak as to be unable at
times to bold bis pen, while at others sleep would overpower
him butthe Invigorator cured him.
A gentleman from Brooklyn called on us a week or two
since looking but the shadow ol a man,- with his skin’yellow,
pale ana deathlike. He had seen for along time suffering
from Jaundice and Dyspepsia, and unable to attend to hisbu.
siness. We saw him again to-day a changed man, and to use
his expression; be has not seen the bottom ol the first bottle,
and further adds, “it saved my lite, fori was fast going toa
consumptive’s grave.
Among the hundreds of Liver remedies now offered ito the
public, there are none we can so fully recommend as Dr. San
ford’s Invigorator. or Liver Remedy, so generally known now
throughout the Union. This preparation yis truly a Liver In
vigorator, producing t 1 e most happv results on all who use
it. Almost innumerable certificates have beeu given of the
great virtueof this medicine by those of the highest standing
iu society, and it is, without .doubt; the best preparation now
before the public.

“the UNION OF THE STATES AND THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE STATES.”
COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 6, 1858.
From the Mont. Advertiser and Gazette.
“I Bring thee a Garland.”
BY S. C. M.
I bring thee a garland, oh diamond-eyed maid,
Its sweet seemed buds in thy dark locks I braid,
Love cherished each bloom, with a sigh and a tear,
And the sigh and the t-ar
Will but make them more dear.
And lend them new charms tor each swiit-winged year’
I fill thee a goblet—’tis the heart’s purest wine;
Love’s lond-st libation, rich, ripe, and divine,
Dipped up from the fountain (hat flows in ihe skies
Whose roseate streaming
Is bright in its gleaming;
As the love stars, that shine in the Heaven of thine eyes!
I bring thee a song—and though humble the strain,
Love breathes in each note ol the burning refrain,
And oh ! that its tones were as wild and as sweet,
As ihe music of fountains,
Os homes on the mountains,
Or the songs which thy lips in thy warblings repeal!
TIIE ANGEL GUEST.
How pure in heart and sound in head,
With what divine affections bold,
Should be the man whose thought would hold
An hour’s communion with the dead.
In vain shalt thou, or any, call
The spirits Irom their golden day,
Except like them, thou, too, canst say,
* My spirit is at peace with all.
They haunt the silence of the breast,
Imagination calm and lair,
The memory like a cloudless air,
The conscience as a sea at rest.
But when the heart is full of din.
And doubt beside the portal waits,
They can butiisien at the gates,
And hear the household jar wilhin.
Tennyson.
Advice of Polontus to hta Son.
Give thy thoughts no tongue.
Nor any unproportioned thought his act-
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Tire friends thou hast, and their adoption tried
Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel; *
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Ol each new-hatched untied -ed comrade. Beware
Os entrance into quarrel! but being in.
Bear it, that the opposer may beware ol thee
Give every man thine ear, but lew ihy voice;
Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Cosily thy habit as tby purse can buy,
But not express’d in fancy; rich, not gaudy:
For the apparel oft proclaims the man.
Neithera borrower or a lender be;
For loan olt loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This, above atl—to thine own sell be true,
And it must follow as the night the day,
Thou canst not be false to any man.
Address of the Hon. Thomas L. Anderson of
Missouri:
House of Representatives, )
Washington City, March 15, 1858. \
To the Voters of the Second Congressional Dis
trict in the Stale of Missouri:
Fellow-citizens : By your free and independ
ent suffrage I became your representative in the
Congress of the United States. This high and im
portant position was intrusted to me, as I flatter
myself, with a full knowledge of my opinions, nev
er disguised on any subject, moral or political,
which, in an active life among you for more than a
quarter of a century, you had ample opportunities
of knowing.
The flattering majority which I received against
one of the most honorable, eloquent, and noble
minded men in the district, has created in my bosom
feeelings of gratitude that time can never erase;
and I should be recreant to every honorable prin
ciple did I not acknowledge the very great obliga
tions which you have placed me by that unequtv-
Fell ow-cft!zMftl°R V ben yo’u'‘*<?tftfi&Teu upon me
the responsible position I now occupy, you and I
supposed other questions would arise than those
fearful and absorbing ones that now distract the
public mind and till the patriot’s breast with anx
ious forebodings as to the future destiny of his
country; I found myself unexpectedly called upon
to act without the opportunity of an interchange of
opinions with you ; I had, then, no other alterna
tive than to meet the responsibilities presented, re
lying upon the best lights before me. As your rep
resentative I spoke and acted as in my honest judg
ment in accordance with the positions and opinions
of my life, I deemed most promoiive of my coun
try’s honor and the safety of the Union.
I came to Congress as an American, looking
with an anxious eye to the purity of the govern
ment, the perpetuity of the Union, and the peace
and prosperity of the country. 1 found but a small
number of m'y party to aid in bearing aloft its flag.
The whole country was in commotion, and the
Congress virtually divided into two parties. One
of these was sectional, bent on the agitation of a
subject in which my constituents lelt deeply and
vitally interested. Born of the North; recklessly
urged on by a wild fanaticism that knew no rea
sonable bounds, and which must ultimately, unless
checked in its unpatriotic purposes, produce not
only discord, anarchy and civil war but inevitably
rend asunder the ties that bind this Union together.
The other a national pariy, pervading all portions
of the confederacy, with it- flag unfilled nonh and
south, east and west, enunciating doctrines and vin
dicating principles vitally important to the South,
which principles, if not maintained by the Ameri
can people, must result in the production of wrongs
and injur es to a large portion of the people of this
confederacy, to which they ought not and w ould
not submit. My own party in so small a minority
as to be powerless as a separate organization. To
stand aloof was to accomplish nothing for my party,
my district, or my country. To unite with either
for my country's good, I must seek the affiliations
which my judgment, my life, my knowledge of my
constituents, told me advocated the principles most
acceptable; duty to you and my country dictated
no other course of action. Need I tell you, who
have known me so long and so well, that it was ut
terly impossible for me, even if I did not assuredly
know your sentiments to be in antagonism thereto,
to unite with the so-called republican party. With
whom, then, was Ito co-operate 1 One other par
ty only, (on whom were to devolve the honor of the
country and the protection of its institutions,) pos
sessing power of doubtful sufficiency to breast the
storm of sectionalism, remained ; and I am frank to
inform you, my fellow-citizens, that when the time
and the necessity for choice came, with whom was
I to co-operate in your name and by your author
ity, I did not hesitate.
I should have deemed myself unworthy to be
your representative, unworthy of the chivalrous
and patriotic people of Missouri, unworthy of the
noble, independent, and Union loving constituency
of the second district, had I faltered when the cri
sis came.
The man who, when the dearest interests of his
country are involved, perhaps the very existence’s
the Union itself, cannot rise above the selfish con
sidesations of party and the tyrannizing influences
that not unfreqently trammel the partisan, should
never be honored with a public trust. And now,
in fuli view of the bitter assaults that have been
made upon my course of action, the unjust and
mendacious criticisms that have in some instances
appeared in the columns of certain newspapers pro
fessing to belong to the party that honored me with
their confidence, some of whom have evidently
mistaken their party affiliations, I reaffirm every
political act of mine from the commencement of
this Congress to the present hour; I have no ex
cuse to plead; I invoke no charity; they are the
result of calm reflection and cool deliberation, and 1
submit them to the severest judgment of my con
stituents without one moment’s uneasiness as to the
result.
I knew at the commencement of my congres
sional life as well as I now know, that a few of my
party with whom I have long differed upon a sub
ject of momentous importance to the people ofMis
souri and the entire South, and who, I am reluc
tantly forced to believe, would have been greatly
pleased to have seen me acting with men in this
Congress who are almost daily denouncing in the
moil vindictive, violent, and degrading terms, my
own State, my own people, and its Inititutione,
| would ftsitil my political coura of action fcera, and
attempt to sink me in your estimation ; still un
awed by their frowns, and conscious of my own
rectitude, I determined, *ith unwavering fidelity,
to look alone to the independent performance of the
high and important trust that you had confided to
me regardle.-s of personal considerations.
My first political act in Congress has been para
ded in certain newspapers in my district with the
evident design of creating distrust towards me
with my own party. That act was my vote for
Speaker. There were but two candidates for that
elevated and controlling position—Co). Orr, a gen
tleman of eminent qualifications, a noble, gener
ous, and talented son of the South; one to whom
1 was willing to confide the important duties of
that station. He has fully justified my expecta
tions and that of the country and I feel well as
sured of the wisdom and propriety of my action.
Would those gentlemen who condemn this vote
have had me to vote for Air. Grow the republi
can candidate? If they would they dare not say
it. What course, then, should I have pursued lo
satisfy gentlemen, some of whom are so anxious
to get possession of my “slippers” lhat they can
see no propriety in any political act of mine ? I
infer that they are of opinion, if I could not have
reconciled it to my feelings and judgement to vote
for Air. Grow, that I should have abstained from
voting entirely, evinced no preference between the
two candidates. Is that really the course these
gentlemen expected me to pursue, with a knowl
edge ofmy views, sentiments and opinions, when
they voted for me l If so, they were greatly mis
taken.
1 believe i'due to my constituents and the coun
try to show, by unmistakable evidences, to the abo
liiioni-ts of North, and tl ose lainted with free soil
ism at home, that my constituents, acting and
speaking through me, had no sympathy with them
or their iniquitous schemes; hence, I voted for
Col. Orr, and should unhesitatingly, do so again
under the same circumstances; and in this act I
feel conscious that 1 reflected the will, not only of
the greai body of my constituents, but of my party.
Sutely,gentlemen who, a few months since, open
ly advocated the formation of anew politic I or
ganization, under the name and style of the “Union
democratic party,” ought not to complain of my
acting with the national democratic party in the
protection of southern interests, when the result of
their proposition would have been to surrender the
organization of ihe American parly, blot out its
identity andaffiiliate with a party composed mainly
of foreigners and free-soilers. Let me here say,
(and I know that I utter the sentiments of the great
majority of the American party in Alissouri,) this
union can never be effected. The sound conser
vative men of that parly never can, and never will,
submit to a union the inevitable result of which
would be to strengthen the free-soil party, and,
finally, enable them to trample upon the rights ofa
large’portion of the people of Alissouri.
That there are efforts being stealthily made in
different parts of the State to seduce the American
party from their allegiance to the rights of the
South must be appearentto all ob-ervers.
The distracting slavery agitation is now boldly
forced upon us by the fjee-soil party, and will in
future he the great question, overriding all others.
There is no longer any concealment of the fact
that while the Uuion-loving, conservative men of
Alissouri have beec silent, inactive, and o; posed
to agitation, the free-soil factf ui, with a zeal and
energy worthy of a better cause, have been unceas
ingly disseminating their principles and augoment
ing their lorces. The free-soil papers have airea
dy notified us that the time for the supremacy of
their principles is at hand. They are confidently
proclaiming, even at this Capitol, that the day is
near when their party will be triumphant in Mis
souri; and when they shall have accomplished
their fell purposes in our State, they are to enter
other fields in the South, and keep up this eternal
ggijjition and war upon slavey territory. Was it to
in full view of the operations of the republican
party, I would give them “aid or comfqrt,” either
by my silence or my acts? Party affiliations shall
never prevent me, while your representative - from
acting with any other party in their patriotic efforts
to resist the aggressions of one portion ft the peo
ple of this confederacy upon the rights of another
when my own party is unable to accomplish it.—
I thank God that I am blessed with sufficient pol
itical honesty, and patriotism, and iudependeece to
break loose from the shackles of party, and, disre
garding the consequences to myself, act for the
good of my beloved country,
Some of my professed friends say that they are
sorry to see me supporting the present administra
tion ; then the necessary conclusion is, that they
prefer I should act with the abolition, free-soil re
publican party in opposing it. There is no neutral
ground that J can occupy. I must act with one or
the other, or seal my lips and not act at all; there
is no other alternative left me. Now, recognising
the doctrine that the representative is bound to
obey the will ofhis constituency, if these gentle
men wilt furnish evidence that renders it even
probable lhat a majority of my constituents desire
that I should affiliate wfth the republican party, I
pledge my honor .hat I will instantly resign, and
thus afford an opportunity of selecting a represen
tative who will execute their will. I shall, as eve
ry honest and independant representative should
do, give to the acts of Air. Buchan’s administration
a candid and impartial consideration, approving or
condemning each measure in accordance with the
dictates of my own judgement,and what I conceive
to be the best interest of my own country, unin
fluenced by ar.y faction of opposition.
The other act, in reference to which it is falsely
and malignantly said I have knowingly •misr. pre
sented the will of my constituents, is my position
in regard to the admission of Kansas under the
Lecompton constitution. I was well satisfied at
the time of the delivery of my Kansas speech tnat
I was faithfully reflecting the sentiments of the
great body of the American party of Missouri, and
especially of my own district ; and I am now more
fully confirmed as to the verity of my opinions by
numerous letters from gentlemen in every part of
my district and Slate—many of them prominent
members of the American party—endorsing and
fully approving the views and principles enuncia
ted in that speech. And 1 now take this occasion
to reaffirm every position and sentiment contained
in it.
Fellow-citizens, I had not expected when I came
here ever to be a candidate again. I love too well
the quiet pleasures ofa happy home the intimate
associations of triends long endeared to me by in
numerable marks of kindness and regard, to covet
honors in this field of labor and strife. But some
—how many I know not—of my constituents have
assailed me,and boldly proclaimed that I ha ve wil
fvlly misreprented those who have honored me
with their confidence. Under this charge, made in
Missouri, and rolled under the tongue of black-re
publicans here and at home as a “sweet morsel,”
Ido not intend to rest. I believe it is untrue.—
And now, in order to vindicate my political hon
or'and integrity, however much I may regret the
necessity, I offer myself to the voters of my dis
trict as a candidate for re-election, that thus in me
the opinions of the majority of the second congres
sional district may be known and vindicated if I
have fairly and honestly represented them.
To the gentlemen of my district who have so
violently assailed my action here in defence of the
rights ofthe South, I recomend for their especial
consideration, without any comments from me, in
order that they may know their fePow-laborers
and symdathizers, the following paragraph from
the speech ofthe Hon. W. H. Seward, the leader
of the Republican party, delivered a few days ago
in the Senate of the United States.
“To us the path of duty is plain. Henceforth, to
the end ofthe struggle, we know all who resist the
imposition of the Lecompton fraud on Kansas as
brethren, while we regard those who uphold that
fraud as deadly enemies, notjmerely to Kansas and
the republican party, but to the principles of Ameri
can independence, the inalienable rights of man.
We believe the anti-Lecompton democrats and
Americans in republican districts will be prepared
in due time so co-operate in returning republicans,
and that thu6 the next Congress will be sure to
crush any wrong that may bo driven tbroug i this;
bat, be this bi it may, we urge that eve:y earnest
arid persistent anti-Lecompton democrat ot Ameri
can in this Congress be returned to the next. They
will there be sure to find themselves in excellent
and abundant company.”
Allow me, in conclusion, fellow-citizens, to as
sure you that my announcement as a candidate is
made from a firm conviction on my part of its ne
cessity ; and that, terminate however this may—
whether defeated or successful—my name shall
never again, with my consent, be presented in con
nection with this office. I wish only to vindicate
what I conceive to be the best interest ofmy coun
try befire my neighbors and the peope whom my
intimate associations for twenty-five years have
taught me to love.
Your obedient servent,
THOS. L. ANDERSON.

The Path ot Bafety.
In the present gloomly posture of national af
fairs—with fights and robbery in. Kansas, fights and
corruption in Congress, and desertion on the part
of hitherto strong preteudeil Northern friends, eve
ry courageous and firm principled Southern man
is anxiously seeking the most effective means of
defence, and inquiring for the path of safety. Upon
this point, onr mind has long since been made up,
and without reiterating our views, we are content
to present the following patriotic extract from a
letter of Hon. M. J. Crawford, Ga.. to the Colum
bus Times and Sentinel:
Senator Seward, the most sagacious of the Black
Republicans, understands better than all his clan
the manner of our destruction. He says that twelve
months will give them 19 Suites to our 15. and no
man understands the future unless he sees the pow
er in their hands.
Our only safety lies in demanding the full meas
ure of our rights, and a demand means nothing
unless we intend to enforce it. If Kan-as is reject
ed it will be because the has slavery in her Consti
tution and nothing else ; if, therefore, the voice of
our old Commonwealth is to be disregarded and
her 4th Resolution violated, my first allegiance is
due to her, and wherever her flag may waive I will
follow it, and wherever her rights or her honor may
demand my poor services I shall ever be found rea
dy to render them. Ail can and may yet go well.
Stales should be admitted without reference to sla
very, and lhat principle being settled, Southern
safety and Southern honor will be preserved, and
our people may, and no doubt will, when the ne
cessity arises, extend our border and restore our
equilibrium in the American Senate. A majority
of the^Northern Democrats still stand firm, and I
hope soon to see Kansas ride proudly into Ihe Un
ion wnh her tackle trimmed and a pro-slavery
Constitution floating at her mast head.
Yours, &e.
MARTIN J. CRAWFORD
The Kansas Bill.
The following is the only amendment of any
importance made to the Kansas bill in the Senalg :
“And that nothing in this act shall be construed
to abridge or infringe any right of the people as
serted in the constitution of Kansas at all times to
alter, reform, or abolish their form of government
in such manner as they may think proper—Con
gress hereby disclaiming any authority tointerven
or declare the. construction of the constitution of any
State, except to see that it be republican in form,
and not in conflict with the Constitution of the
United States.”
As the people of Kansas assert in their Consti
tution no right to alter or amend that instrument
in any other mode than that prescribed by the Con
stitution itself, it seems to us that the amendment
is simply superflous. Though the amendment,
strictly construed, amounts to nothing, we would
have preferred the bill without it. Where no in

Fitly Spoken.
Touching Senator Crittenden’s positition on Le
compton, and the haste which K N. editors have
made to excuse him, the Dallas Gazette discourses
as follows:
“The speech of Mr. Crittenden and the exculpa
tory paragraph copied above, [from a late number
of the Alontgomery Mail.—Ed. Adv.] enables one
to see into the game that is to be played by the
Southern K. N.’s—at least by their leaders. Air.
Crittenden, their great leader, declares agaist Le
compton, and, quick as lightening, before his prin.
ted speech leaves Washington, they make excuses
for him. The haste with which they excuse him
proves, beyond doubt, that they have only waited
for an opportunity to take a position against the
admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Consti
tution, and the Senators from Kentucky has given
them thisopportunity. They will embrace it.
“Their defection may prevent the admission of
Kansas at this session, and then their object will
be obtained; which is agitation! agitation! They
know very weli lhat the speedy admission of Kan
sas would harmonise theDemoeratic party and make
it stronger than it ever was. They know that the
settlement of this Kansas question would kill the
Northern and Southern organizations against the
Administration, hence their desire to keep it open
Their vitality depends upon agitation.
“From the gusto with which they predicted its
defeat, we do not believe many of them have ever
really desired the admission ,f Kansas, under the
Lecopton dispensation, or under any other, at
present.
We think, now, the Lecompton Constitution will
be defeated, and, strange inconsistency ! the South
ern KnowJNothing leaders, who will help to defeat
it, will charge the Democratic {arty with its failure,
as if the party could control such men as Douglas,
Wise, and others. As well might the historian de
nounce Washington for not preventing the treason
of Arnold.”
The Kansas Question. —The Naiional Intelligen
cer gives the following summary of the speech of
Hon. Sydenham Moore, of Alabama, in relation to
Lecompton, in the House of Representatives, on
Thursday last:
Mr. Moore, of Alabama, then addressed the
committee in favor of Lecompton, denouncing the
Republicans for warring upon the rights of the
South. They were treacherously aiming to over
throw the Constitution and the Union. The South
had borne the aggressions, threats, derision, and
insults ot Ihe North as long as they could be borne.
Alabama would not act alone in asserting her rights;
her sister Stales would stand with her, and ihe
North would yet regret that their folly and fanati
cism had driven their brethren of the South from
them. The South had greater cause for disunion
than the American Colonies ever had for separating
from Great Britten. He hoped the North had
reason enough yet to make her pause. It was an
empty pretence that the South was making war
upon free labor; all the South wanted was equali
ty in the Territories. If the Northern Democra
cy remained firm in this crisis treason and mad
ambition might yet be thwarted, but if they dese’ ted
their colors, as some of iheir leaders had, the days
of the Union would be numiiered.
Mr. Buchanan a God Father. —We find the fol
lowing in the Washington States :
“We are to have an intere.-ting ceremonial here
soon, when the juvenile daughter of a New York
M. C. is to be presented at the babtismal font in
one of our churches, with the President as god fa
ther and Madame Slidel as god-mother. A de
junnera lafourchett will follow, and it will be one
of the events of the season.”
Important Lawsuit. —Nearly one-half of Western
New York is held by ihe owners of what is termed
the Holland patent. A suit bus lately been institu
ted to recover a considerable portion of the lands
ofthe Holland company, the authority of one of
its agents to dispose of them being disputed. The
prosecution is conducted nominally in behalf of two
childr n, residing, we believe, in England; but we
understand that among other prominent parties,
the Bank of England is interested in the matter.—
A gentleman of Buffalo is the nominal defendant.—
Able counsel are engaged on both eidea,
The South Carolina College.
The Columbia South Carolinian, of the,27th inst.,
says :
“We regret to state that, on yesterday, the Fac
ulty found it necessary to suspend ninety-seven
students of the South Carolina College until the
first of October next, and live until the first ofAlay.
We understand the ostensible cause of difficulty
was tlie refusal of the Faculty to allow a suspension
of college exercises on Thanksgiving day under
municipal recommendation. Upon the professors
going|to the chapel and recitation, Thursday morning
the benches were found tarred, whereupon the
order was given by the professors to the classes to
attend at their private offices to recite. The junior
and freshman classes, with few exceptions, obeyed
thfi order—the seniors and sophomores mosily de
eiiued doing so. When called before the Faculty
with much unanimity they declined responding to
questions. The act of discipline whicli followed
was necessary to uphold the essential authority of
the government, in which the Faculty was unani
mous.”
Literary Men In the British Cabinet.
Air. Israeli is known as a voluminous writer of
prose and verse, politics, history and fiction. Air
Walpole the Home Secretary, obtained at Cam
bridge University the prize for the best Essay on
the Character and Conduct of William 111. The
Earl of Malmesbury, Foreign Secretary, has edited
the work of his grandfather, the celebrated diplo
matist. Lord Stanley, the new Colonial Secretary,
one of the most rising young men of the dav, has
written several pamphlets on colonial and church
questions. Lord John Alanners has written a good
deni of poetry, which will hardly compare with
Air Tennyson’s.
The Palmerston Cabinet also had its quota of
literary chaiacters, such as Palmerston himself,
who was one of tiie authors of a prose and poeiical
satire published in 1819; Sir Geo. C. Lewis, editor
of the Edinburg, and a historian ; Duke of Argyle,
writer of several pamphlets on the Scottishchurch;
Earle oi Carlisle, a poet; and Robt. Lowe, a joint
editor of tiie Times.
Asiatic Coolies.
The Charleston Courier, in its summary of news
from Havana by the Isabel, states that “two more
American vessels had arrived at Havana with car
goes of Asiatic coolies. We are furnished with a
table of the statistics of this trade. From this it
appears that tiie whole number oi vessels arriving
with these slaves is seventy-one, of which the lar
ger number are British and American; the number
of coolies shipped, twenty-eight thousand seven
hundred and seventy-seven ; and the number lan
ded, twenty-four thousand six hundred and forty
three, showing a mortality, on the passage, of no
less than fourteen and one-third per cent. :
Travel to California,
The Charles'on Courier, says;
“From a gentleman who has just arrived in our
city from California via Havana, we learn that the
steamers Golden Age and Orizaba, which left San
Francisco, on the sth inst., for Panama, took down
one thousand six hundred and fifty passengers,
this being tiie first trip of the (Origaba) opposition
line. The passengers were met at the Isthmus by
two thousand tour hundred and fit ty passengers
bound to California, from New York, brought by
tiie steamers Alotes Taylor, St. Louis and North
ern Light. The fare across die Panama railroad,
a distance of forty-seven and one-half miles, which
is made in less than three hours time, is twenty
live dollars. All the passengers above alluded to
passed over this road.”
The Congressional Printing.— The investiga
tion ot the House select Committee on Printing,
discloses the fact that the printing for the last Cou-
Wtifte: some ofttfe corfirriftfee ... , M vr
ofa Government Office for the printing and bind
ing, unuer tiie charge ot the Secretary of the Inte
rior, the others will propose amendments to the
present laws, recommending a reduction of 30 per
cent, from the present prices. No books exceeding
two hundred and fifty pages to be printed, except
ing by the joint resolution of Congress, nor any
work to be commenced, unless the Executive of
ficer from whom it emanates, certifies that the doc
ument is complete. The binding is to be given to
the lowest bidder under such guards as to prevent
the further abuse.
In view of the fact that many thousand dollars
are now paid annually to three newspapers in
Washington, for publishing the proposals for car
rying the mails, tiie Committee will recommend
that one paper only here be selected for that pur
pose, and that greater publicity be given in the
States and Territories where that service is to be
performed. Also, that Executive control over Post
Office ban'ks and other printing for the Department
be removed, and the work be let to the lowest bid
der.
Bursting of a Grind Stone. —About two o’clock
on Saturday afternoon, John Birch, an English
man, about forty five years of age, was instantly
killed by the bursting or breaking ofa large grind
stone, in the establishment of Messrs. Drown &
Teat'ey, Wood street. He was engaged in grind
ing files at the time of the accident. Although
warned not to do so, Birch put on an extia pulley
in order to increase tiie velocity of the stone, which
is driven by steam. The stone was a very large
one, and the increased speed, as itstaried, caused
it to burst into four pieces Birch was thrown
from his seat, his forehead cut open, his nose split
and one of his eyas knocked out.— Pittsburg Dis

Minnesota. —The bill providing for the admis
sion of tiiis Territory as a State was under dis
cussion in the Senate on Wednesday last. The
preamble is similar to that attached to the Lecomp
ton-Kansas act, (Green’s amendment,) published
yestsrday. Mr. Pugh’s amendment relative to the
applicability of Federal laws (the same as that of
fered to the Lecompton bill) was adopted. A dis
cussion arose in relation to the number of Con
gressional representatives to which Minnesota is
entitled, which question at last accounts is not yet
disposed of.
The Mormon War. —A telegraphic dispatch
dated the 24ih instant, at St. Louis,says that a letter
from Col. Johnston, ot the Utah expedition, deserbes
his march to Camp Scott, .compliments his troops,
and says the Mormons have, asfully as words and ac
tions can, manifested the intention that they will
no longer submit to any government but their own
and that the people of the Union must eitiier sub
mit to a usurpation of their territory and have a
government erected in their midst acknowleding
no dependence upon or allegiance to the federal
authority, or act with vigor and force to compel
them to succumb. He expresses an earnest hope
that every exertion may be made to forward sup
plies early in the spring under a sufficient guard of
mounted men.

of slavery are falling away from the cause, some
tor one reason and some for another, ami a good
many because its princip es required them to treat
the colored man as an equal brother in all the re
lations oi lile. There’s the rub—tne abolitionists
never were the true friends of the colored race,
and after preaching equality and freedom so long
to them, they shrink with loathing from the prac
tical illustration of their own doctrines, and would
almost as soon come in contact with the devil
himself as with a “nigger”

sweeping her cheek—the cheek through whose
clear, paie blown there rushed a bright carmine,
fluctuating with each changing emotion. And
over her small, delicately shaped head, with its
masses of glossv, dark hair, fell the gracelul folds
of the mantilla, madtJftimply of black net, deaply
bordered with lace, and therelore, transparent
enough to show clearly tiie sligh'ly aquiline riose
and its proudly cut nostrils, and the curves of her
full, red lips, tiie upper one shaded—dare we say
