T He promptly assents to the assertion, that THIS IS Till-: GREAT ISSUE; he meets it, and sustains his side of the question, by read ing the grant of power, which we have quoted from the constitution. We venture to affirm, that ninety-nine out of every hundred impartial men who hear the discussion, will decide 'l'IIIS GREAT ISSUE in favor of the abolitionist; that they will believe that the objections of the South against the proposed interference, are unfounded and arbitrary; and that on leaving that meeting, they will bo converts to aboli tionism. A meeting is called in another northern town, in which the minds of the people are, in like manner, unbiassed. When they assemble, the same proposition, -prefaced by the same re marks, is submitted to them. In this assembly also, is a southerner, anxious to defeat the in sidious proposition. lie admits, that congress may have the constitutional power to perform this act; but he reminds the people, that at the formation of the federal constitution, their la thers recognized slavery, as existing at the South; and solemnly agreed, that it should be the -basis of a portion of the political power of the ■southern States; and that the measure propos • d bv the abolitionist, although in it* terms limit- *ed to the Dust riot of Columbia, yet in its conse quences, would be felt throughout those Stales; that it was therefore an attempt again to open those questions, and to unsettle all the rights of the South. Ifeadm wishes thorn, not to be guil ty of this breach of faith. He reminds them, that the slaves of the district, if emancipated, will be a crew of indolent paupers, turned loose, to prey on society. He explains to them, that the emancipation of the slaves in the Dis trict of Columbia, effected by the votes of a northern party, would excite in the breasts of the slaves in the southern Mates, the hope of a similar interference in their behalf, and would inspire them with n discontented, restless, in suirectionary temper; while it would make the masters jealous, suspicious, and severe in their discipline; and that for these reasons, ii was certain that the proposed interference would he injurious to the colour d population of the South. He shows, that it may produce servile insurrec tion, always a source of deep affliction and hor ror to the free population; and of terrible retri bution on the guilty, or suspected slaves. He declares, that the South will be implacably ex- asperated against the North, by the unprovoked, unmeasured, and immeasurable injury; and he avows his belief, that in order to defend them- selves against such faithless and dangerous as- sociates, the southern states will combine to break up the Federal Union. To such repre sentations, what reply can the abolitionist make? lie is struck dumb. Detected, convicted, ex posed, as an enemy alike to the white and the Hack race, as an insidious plotter against tue peace of his country, and that glorious Union, which sheds its ample blessings on all, he es capes with difficulty, sinking nem ath the scorn and detestation of a people whom he had at tempted to delude.—In this town, abolitionism is effectually suppressed. The sentiments which we have expressed, are those entertained by Mr. Van Buren.— Because lie cansee.no force in an unfounded constitutional objection; and because lie has de- termined to defend the rights of the South on those great moral and political considerations, on winch they may be most triumphantly sus tamed, the nuliifiers denounce him as an enemy to the South! To the. Edilor of the Federal Union: Believing, sir, that, in common with every man that has a heart expanding beyond the limits of bis own family, you are not indifferent to the welfare and mislortuncs of your species, 1 have to request ol y u the insertion, in your periodical, of the enclosed article, taken from the Southern Recorder of Tuesday last. I deem compliance with the suggestion of the waiter imperative on the physicians of Pulaski county, as it is not probable that an epidemic, so rapid in its course and terrible in its issue, appearing at such a season, will be confuted by the artificial limits of a county. I will likewise add, that it might be of great utility were those medical gentlemen to state, in detailing the treat ment, the order hi which the remedies have been usually applied and the extent to which they have been exhibited, whether the nerves of re lation at their orgin have been much affected and the vital beat in the extremities diminished, ami all the < valence that can be adduced to show tliat the disease in question is an inflammation ol the pleura. As the faculty is by law con- servator o! the public health, and science is in conffiot with concealment and mystery, I hazard j nothing in predicting the speedy appearance of formation in your power an ample and succinct exposition. HOMO. from the Soulhern Recorder, of tue 19//t inst. “BILIOUS PLEURISY.” The Macon Messenger, of the 14:h instant, notices the existence of a disease in Hawkins- ville, arid its vicinity, to which the physicians apply this term, and which, that paper remarks, lias carried ofF a considerable number of people, generally proving iata! in a few hours, and ru mor adds, that it was of tills ailment that the Hon. James Poluill died. From these cir cumstances tiie inference follows, that “Bilious Pleurisy” is in general incurable, or the reme dies employed are in general not suitable for the malady. Whichever may be true, humanity requires that exertions he continued to arrest the havoc, and w hen one mode of treatment has been found unavailing, that another be adopted. It becomes, therefore, a duty that the physicians of Hawkinsvil'e and its vicinity owe to the com munity in which they reside, to the f’Uate in ge neral, and the faculty in particular, to give, through the public gazettes, the symptoms and diagnosis of this “Bilious Pleurisy,” and the anatomical characters, if post mortem examina lions have been made, with what they believe to be the proximate and remote causes, as well as the particular t reatment, specifying the names of agents exhibited. Such a publication may possibly lead to treatment more successful, and probably remove an impression, existing to some extent, that the disease is misunderstood bv die practitioners of Pulaski county, and consequent ly mismanaged.

The skil till use of tiie sword (or stick) is an elegant ac complishment; and, among the warm tempers of the South, it is a most useful art. Major Dtnn is a very superior swordsman, and a most assiduous and zealous instructor; imparting to his pupils more practical skill in three weeks, than is commonly acquired in a course of in struction of as many months. ^ IRGIXIA.—In this Slate the elections are progressing with great warmth. So far as they have proceeded, the democratic party has gained a little since the last elections. In Al- bermnrle, the triumph of the friends of the ad ministration is a •ourec of great gratification. In this county, two strong whig.leaders, Oil- ran a.id Southall, have boot: superseded by two ■ah': and distinguished democrats, Rives and Randolph. CONNECTICUT.—It is sufficiently ascer tained that Edwards, the democratic candidate *' Jr governor, will beat Tomlinson, the whig candidate, by a majority of about three thou sand. There are also strong democratic majori lies m both branches of the legislature. The administration party is much stronger than it at the previous election.

We are enabled to give soma particulars of the frequent engagements this gallant officer and his brave army had with theSeminoles on the ground general Clinch had pre viously rendered memorable. The parties fought eight days without intermission. Nothing could surpass the bold ness of tiie enemy. They would come quite close to the breastwork, and lire directly into the camp One day, in i tljo Ijior prairie particular,they approached so close that they set lira to the ' ptequets, and poured tn volley almr volley, under cover of the smoke. It was estimated that they fired one thousand rounds, and yet, strange to say, there was not n singic man in the army killed or even wounded. One part of the sol diers were engaged in quenching the flames, while another wvre returning the Indian compliment with interest. One trait m the savage warfare should be mentioned. Beforo coming to action they invariably tin- four guns and then give i he war whoop. Our informant vouches tor the truth of this stab in nt.
