In perfect consistency wi,h the foregoing Con gressional record. is the celebrated anti-slavery let- t-.-randr-ssedin 1338 to the Erie Abolition Society. The pith ot this letter is contained in the first portions of it, and because the balance has not been usually publish d, the partizmn of Mr. Fill more have charged that it was “garbled ” That no such charge may now be made, the ENTIRE DOChMuNl is here inserted, as copied from ihe Washington Republic ol September, *351, the con- }• I nitial organ of Mr. Klim-ire-during his entire Presidential term: Buffalo, Oct. 17, 133-h ° |r: —Your communication of the 15th inst. as chairman of a committee appointed by “the Anti- slavery Society or the county of Erie,” has just come to hand. You solicit my answer to the fol lowing interrogatories: ‘Tirst. Do you believe that petitions to Oou- Vress. on the subject of slavery and the slave trade, ought to be received, read, and respectfully considered i>y the representatives of the people ? Second. Are you opposed to the annexation of Texas to the Union, under any circumstances, so long as slaves are held therein? 1 bird. Are you in favor of Congress exercising All Hie constitutional power it possesses to aboli.-u the internal slave trade between the States ? fourth. Are you in favor of immediate legisla tion for the abolition ol slavery in the District of Columbia ?” I am much engaged, and have no time to enter into an argument, or to explain, at full length, my reasons for my opinions. I SHALL THERE FORE CONTENT MYSELF, FOR THE PRES ENT. BY ANSWERING ALL YOUR INTER ROGATORIES IN THE AF IRMATIVE, AND LEAVE FOR SOME FUTURE OCCASION A MORE EXTENDED DISCUSSION OF THE SUBJECT. I would, however, take this occa- t on to say that in thus frankly giving my opin ion, I would not desire to have it understood in the nature of a pledge. At the same time I seek no disguise, but freely’ give my sentiments on any subject of interest to those for whose suffrages 1 am a candidate, I am opposed to giving any pledges that shall deprive me Hereafter of ail discretionary power. My own ch-ira'-ter must be the guarantee for the general correctness of iny.legislative deportment. On ev ery important subject, I am b >und to deliberate be fore I act, and especially as a legislator, to possess myseif of all the information, and to listen to ev- ery argument that can be adduced by my asso- dates, before I give a final vote. If I* stand pledged to a, particular course of action. I cease to be a responsible agent, but I become a mere ma- eh no. Should subsequent events show, beyond a.l doubt, that the course I bad been pledg 1 to pursue was ruinous to uiy constituents and dis- gia-eful to myseif, I have ho alternative, uo oppor tunity fur r- pi-nUnce. and there is no power to ab- solv- me f, >m my obligation. Hence the impro priety-, not to say absurdity, iu my views, of giv- a pledge. aware that you have not asked my pledge, and J believe I know your sound judg meiit and g<rod s-nse too well to think you desire any such tiling. It was. however, to prevent any misrepresentation on the part of others, that I have felt it my duty to say thus much on the sub ject- I am, respectfully, vnur most ob’t serv’t, MILLARD FILLMORE. Wm. Mills. Esq., Chairman. It is not pretended by the warmest advocates of the Know Nothing candidal" lor the Presidency, th.it his opinions as expressed in this letter and acted upon in Congress underwent any moditica- ti'-n down to the day of his nomination for the Vice Presidency in 1848. OFFUSITION TO TEXAS ANNEXATION. Iti 1843, he was an ardent opposer of Texas an nexation. At a mass meeting in she State of New York, in 1844, Mr Fillmore made a speech from a booth reared under a banner on which were painted, in ridicule. Gen. Jackson and James K.

PERMIT it to BECOME A LAW before he CONSULTED Mr. Crittenden on the subject—A Fact WHICH THE Republic (his organ) mentioned at the time, in order to justify Mr. Fili.m.irk iiufore his northern HIGHER LAW FRIENDS, FOR NOT RETURNING THE HILL WITH Ills OBJECTIONS." JUDGE CONKLIN’S TESTIMONY. Judge Conklin, of New York, a friend of Millard Fillmore, and iris Minisier to Mexico, in a laic speech, made the following apology for him for j signing the fugitive slave law : “Of this gentleman I have to say a few words, i that are alike due to him and to myself. The I friendly relations that have long subsisted between I ns: the high opinion I cntertawi of his patriotism, integrity and talents; the confidence he saw fit. to repose in me, and the great personal kindness I | received at his hands while he filled the Presiden- ! tinl office, all conspire to render it pair.fit! to ir.e to 1 withhold my support from him; and had he been brought forward under other auspices, as I cher- ! islied a vague hope he would be, if would have a!'- ! forded me a corresponding degree of satisfaction I to yield him that support. 1 a n aware of the persistent, and I doubt not, S to some extent, successful industry with w hich for Hu man and roll back the tide of ruffian viol, which was becoming prominent, proval. lit and «i- roganr. Mr. Brooks rose to speak, but Mr. W.ikeman and others objected. The fi.st named said Ids object merely was to ask that order be pres - veil. The prevalent confusion prevented him from heal ing every word. T he Speaker said that he should endeavor to preserv order. Mr. Cumins, resuming, said, when he saw two members of Congress standing at tlie side of Mr. Brooks, ns accomplices, lie was reminded of a re mark of the gentleman from Mississippi, who, in alluding to the scenes at that time, transpiring nu this floor, said he was almost ready to exclaim, in the language of Ferdinand, “All hej. is loose, the devils an here.” The murderous blow which felled Stunner fell not on Massachusetts more than any other State. The slave power having failed to sustain itself in ineffectual conflict, resorted to brute force, and with a bludgeon beat Freedom ovci the head The slave power has trampled the constitution in the dtist. There is a very little more for the gentle man from Georgia, (Mr. Cobh) to do than draw marginal black line., aroud it. and write the word j “Expunge’’across its face. In his remarks, Mr. | Cumins allu led to the mission to South Carolina ! ofSamuel Hoar | Mr. Aikens, (dem.) of South Carolina, inter rupted, pronouncing on his own responsibility, one j years be bns been exhibited by those who had I of Mr Comins statements false.

But in imp .ting to him a willingness to ex tend and fortify slavery, law persuaded that Ids as sailants hare done him injustice. 1 believe, on the contrary, that In- still holds slavery in the abstract, a.- lie is known formerly to have done, in as great abhorrence as they do. The evidence constantly citcd to justify this charge is the fact of his having affixed his signature to the fugitive slave bill. Tins alternative was to interpose his veto. But no one had a right to expect him to do this, for he had no right himself to do it. Either from doubt about its constitutionality, or from deference to the opin ion of those who questioned it, he did appoint the usual precaution of submitting the bill to the ex amination of the Attorney General and asking his opinion of its constitutionality, i’o have vetoed it under the very extraordinary circumstanees of the ease, would have been, to say the least, a palpable violation of the constitution. No enlightened man who understands the subject can doubt this, and 110 such man can have been sincere, in casting cen sure upon Mr Fillmore for adopting th opposite alternative.” mg. Mr. Houston, (democrat) of Alabama, likewise interposed, saying that the remarks of Mr. Cumins were irrelevant. Mr. Giddings (nigger worshipper) of Ohio, , arnestly called him to order. The Speaker defined the right of members in de lta te. not to interrupt. Mr. Comins. Mr Letcher did not insist on his point of or der. Mr. Comins resumed, expressing bis amazement at the stern stolidity of the Seriate concerning their privileges and dignity, at w hich a deadly blew was aimed. In conclusion be referred in com mendation to the remarks of James Watson Webb, that the outrage merited death on the spot, to be administered by any one present. Could the friends of Mr. Brooks object to his expulsion fiotn the House? Air.

Let the question be met faiiiy. 1 0 The N-.w Albany Tribune, the leading Fillmore { testimony showed that Ihe as.- rfit w..s made 1 organ in Indiana, says. i consequence of a personal insult oiler, d - ■ > “Mr Fillmore gave his official sanction to the • friend and kinsman of Brooks, and the indignU fugitive slave bill because we (the free sailers) j east on the State which Brooks in part o pres.-,- ■ could not have sot other lairs on which our hearts ! i d.

As to drawing black lines mound 1I1 carrying out one of the great principles f the party who elected him—that the personal opinions of the Executive on mere questions of policy, ought never to be brought in conflict with the will of the people’s representatives, by an arbitrary ex ercise of the veto pouter." Nqiiii'ler Sovcreisnty. .Some public speakers, of the Know Nothing Order, find very grave objections to a few words in .Mr. Buchanan's letter, which seem to be favor in of Squatter Sovereignty. The substantive portion of the seventh plank of the Philadelphia Know Nothing platform, upon which Mr. Fillmore is very comfortably seated, is in tke following words: “VII. The recognition of the native horn and naturalized citizens of the United .States, permanently residing in any Ter ritory thereof, to frame their Constitution and laws, and to regulate t heir domestic ana social affairs in -(heir own mode, subject only to the provisions of the Federal Constitu tion,” &e &c When this section of the platform was passed several members of the Council A Fillmore paper, speaking afterwards of this objected to it because it recognized Squat resolution and the result, said: “On the strength mainly of that resolve—of its rejection by ih Democracy and its hearty adop tion by the Whigs—the State went Whig in the elec-ion that followed by some 3«,000 majority. MILLARD FILLMORE HEADED the WHIG TICKET.” ter Sovereignty’.” Mr. D. B. Booth, of Connecticut, on the 26th February, enter ed his solemn protest against this section, in which he said, “Connecticnt never has and never will consent to the recognition of a principle so odious and repugnant to her .,'iuiess issued in support of the resolution ! sensihiltxcs, as that of squatter sovereignty and of M . Fillmore, was furious in its denuucia tion of slave extension—saying that: *' f ti- flag of our victorious legions is to be d -s- er-rated from it- h -ly character of liberty md emancipation, INTO AN ERRAND OF BOND AGE AND SLAVERY.” “We protest . i no name of the rights of man and of liO'-ny. against the further extension of sta ee ry iu Xorlh America." During the canvass of 1847, at Rochester, in the State of New York, Mr. Fillmore made a speech in Minerva Hall, against “THE AGGRESSIONS of THE SLAVE ROWER. ’ The greater part of the speech was upon the encroachments of slave ry : upon the monopoly which the southern oligar chy, a nest of 2r>il,Ui)() slaveholders, had enjoyed in ail the offices of trust in the Union; how many I’residents from the South, how few from the North. He commented on the same disproportion of judges, foreign ministers, speakers of the House, members of the cabinet, Xc., with ungracious flings at what he alledged to be southern arrogance and injustice. 1113 REFUSAL TO QUALIFY OR EXPLAIN SATIS FACTORILY. The Erie Letter am. the Record of Mr. Fillmore were paraded against him throughout the country in 1 -13,wb, u he was the whig candidate for the \ ice Presidency, and not until then did he in tho least endeavor to qualify or explain his ultra Abolition doctuucs. I11 a letter to Gayle of Alabama, lie only qualified lu» strong opinion- with regard to the interna, slave ra.Je by ri ferring to ihe case of Prigg against Pennsylvania, in which the Su preme Court had held a-ain-t him. But he re fused to explain or qualify bis opinions with res pect to tiie abolition ot slavery in the District of Columbia—abolition petitions—exclusion of slave ry from the territories, &c. &c. Mr. Fillmore s career has been trac- d down to the year 1848. His warm -st admirers in the South have n-*ver been able to find a vote castor a word uitered by him. previous to that date, which indi cates any other than tb- most inveterate hatred of ♦he South aud her institutions. In Congress and out of Congress, as we have shown, he was a faith ful ally and helpmate of John Q Adams. Slade, Giddings; Seward and other noted abolition agita tors. In 1843, he was elected Vico President, and by the death of Gen. Taylor he became President, and this brings us to HIS PRESIDENTIAL record. The fugitive Slave Dill.—This was the only measure of the well known acts of 1850, which was claimed to be for The benefit of the Southern States. It was a mere constitutional measure, to which they were entitled irrespective of any other law, but Ids partizaus contenu that he is entitled to much credit for signing it. WIIV HE SIGNED THE FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW. We will let him explain for himself, and then tho reader can decide whether he is entitled to credit for the act. ■as is apparent to me in the seventh sec tion of the declaration of principles adop ted.” Gov Johnson, of Penn., very specially repudiated the squatter sovereignty of the seventh section of the Know Nothing platform. It seems to be the intention of those who are “intensely” interested in this matter, to direct attention from the weak points of their own platform by trying to attract attention in another quarter. “Stephen ARNOLD!” “Et tu Brule?” One of the Speakers at the Know-no thing State Convention spoke of the author of the Kansas-Nebraska Act—as “Stephen Arnold"—“this Arnold—this Little Giant way out in the West there—what’s his name?” “Douglas, Douglas,” said the meeting, ill a guffaw of merriment, and with demonstrations of delight at the hit! Yes! in the heart of the Empire State of the South, iu this insidious, indirect and unmanly way, the noble Douglas was branded as a traitor to Ins country, by a party which one year ago resolved that the enemies of the Kansas-Nebraska bill were the enemies of the Constitution and the South! Yes, the man of all others who has shown the most indomitable courage and constancy in confronting Ahlitionisui upon its own soil—the man who, in 185J, breasted the whole storm of anti-Slavery fury—the man who, with an almost peei- less moral courage, dared tell his own fcitate she was wrong, and answer back face to face the angry scoffs, jeers aud menaces of his own fellow-citizens with such a ma jestic bearing of conscious rectitude—with such solidity and strength of reason and argument, that she has recalled and revers ed her judgment; the man who, more than all others, has planted the Democracy of this countrj’ upon true Constitutional ground, so that it is now the sole remaining party link between the two sections of this Confederacy—yes, this man was jeered at by a State Convention of Georgia as a sec ond Arnold. We have no words which can add force and sigificance to the mere fact!—Geo Telegraph. constitution, as recommend' d by Mr Comii b * who was prepared for the damnable -’evil oi l t do it. It was no part ot his duty, and theinx .1 tion met nc response in his heart. Mr. Comins said he alluded to the slave pow er Mr Cobb, continuing, remarked, that he taisi-d bis voice in behalf of the Constitution, planted himself on its provisions and called on gentle men to enforce them. He then argued that this was not such a question as justifii d tin-jurisdiction of the House. The constitution protected mem bers only so far as was necessary for legisitave pur poses. beyond this they were on a ievei wirii tin ir humblest constituents, and responsible for libels they might utter. With regard to Edmonson ami Keitt, whom a majority of the committee pioposed to censure, they were guilty of no disorderly be havior within the province of the House to pun ish—neither was principal nor accessor to the suit. Because they took no steps to prevent tiie perpe tration of the act, to inform Mr. Sumner of his danger—the committee say their neglect is repre hensible. thus in effect proposing to punish a man who r -ceiving a confidential communication, fails to become a public- informer. Mr. Pennington, (nigger worshipper) of N. J-, remarked; if Mr. Orr yesterday’ insinuated wiiat was not broadly asserted, that the object was to make political capital, it was utterly unfound ed, in so far as he wan concerned; and, therefore, he gave it a fiat denial. He argued in support of the principles advanced by the report of tint com mittee, saying that it imputed to Brooks no mur derous purpose, but in the eyes of the law the weapon used was a murderous one, and vveilded in a murderous manner. Mr. Foster (K. N.) of Ga.. said in- had no person al acquaintance with either Mr. Sumner nr Brooks, and hence could argue the subject dii-pas- siunately. Ho contended that it was as clear to him as the sun in heaven that the house under the constitution bad nojuisrdiction in the premises.— He condemned the inflammatory appeals resorted to in this case. Without action, the House adjourned. “Thousands of Hup potters."—The lle- puhlica.n says that Squatter So\ereigiity is “losing thousands of supporters to the Demotatic candidate.” Is not that run ning up the figures rather high? We con fess that before we can fully credit it, we must have a little evidence of tlie fact. Will not then our neighbor mention a few Southern Democrats, in full standing with the Democratic party, at the time of liie meeting of the Cincinnati Convention, who now refuse to support Mr. Buchanan. If ‘here are “thousands” surely a dozen or so may be named. Mind you, we don't mean any of those who have seen “Bam ” It it is too much to ask a dozen of these, “thousands,” let us have half a dozen, or if that be unreasonable tiro or three. We are yet to bear, (save through the Itepuhli- can) of a single one. While of men hither to opposed to Democracy scores aud hun dreds are now rallying under Mr. Buch anan’s banner, lint 011c Southern Democrat within the range of our observation or reading, has deserted it. The “thousands” then whom lie is losing are such as lie never had.—Sue. (ieorgian. How a Baby Changed Hands.—On Saturday af ternoon a well loaded siage was trundling down Broadway, aud among the passengers wa a w. K dressed female with an interi sting infant in tiei ■ nils, both of whom attracted much attention. At stre -t the lady pulled the strap, and w ith a most winning smile and sweetest ucc.enis request ed a gentleman who sat next her to hold the child while she alighted. With gallant alacrity the gent r -plied, at the same time bestowing a caress anil kindly word-to the child- The lady reached tho pavement, w hen, as if for her especial benefit, the driver closed the door, whipped up his horses, and drove off, leaving the discomfilted gent in posses sion of the babe. The lady with astonishing alacrity and wonderful absence of mind, was otiser’ - ed to vanish down a by street. The passengers 111- dul"ed ill a plenty of fun at the gent's expens .-, but°he announced his intention to adopt the child —if the lady should forget to seek for it. Of course it was an oversight on her part. Old Line Whigs for Buehanar. Tiie Old Line Whigs who in tin West are rush ing to the support of Buchanan, may be reckoned by scores and hundreds—column after column in tin- successive issues ot the Cincinnati Enquirer, is devoted to tii • record of these change:.. From that pap- r’s last Saturday’s summary, we copy the following: '"Ben Bond, who was United States Marshal in Illinois under general Taylor, and a Scott elector in 18.',/. now places th.- Democratic ieket at the head of the paper he edits, the Carlyle Calu.- met. “Alonzo Cushing, Esq , a distinguished lawyer of Gnlipolis, Ohio, has announced ins intention of supporting the democratic ticket bis fail, iu pre ference to the opposition.

The two prominent candidates are democrats, and have acted with the Democratic party heretofore.

Mr. Allison contended that this subject involv ed not only the rights of an individual but of the people. It was not merely a private quarrel. The sanctity of the Senate chamber has been invaded and its priviiig-s violated by a n emuer of the House, which body, however unpleasant, should punish the offender. Mr. liocock said that there was no case on the record showing the explosion of a member for an assault and battery. H i urg; d that the case pend ing did not warrant the interposition of the House —no such -‘disorderly behavior,” for w hieh the Constitution provides punishment having been committed. Mi-Simmons argued not only that the House had the powi-rin the case, but tbatitis the duty of the Utilise to exercise it. Mr. Winslow regretted that undue importance had been given to this matter, and said that the facts, as developed, showed it to be a mere person al controversy. He did not think the House iiad authority to expel Mr. Brooks, the House hav ing hut a limited power, and could only punish for “disorderly b havior” committed iu open ses sion. Mr. Edie did not agree that this was a mere per sonal matter, and spoke of atterupls having been f the Consti- of the land. The Constitution is a platform l enough for all who stand upon it: and it is the duty ! made to explain away the language of every citizen to voti for that man for rise chi f: tution. executive officer of this nation who h believes j Mr. Giddings said Mr. Brooks had satisfied the will lend his influence to the preservation of the ' law relative to the assault and battery, but had not the Union, am’ a faithful and confident: u execu- | answered for the great crime committed against tion ot its constitution and laws.

The exciting e.iu-e was a rontre temps that happened at the Queen’s I vee. Di vested of the outrageous exaggeration of the Brit- -h presses, the facts are simply these, that Mr Dallas, accompanied by a triend, went to the Queen’s levee; the frii nd's costume was not iu ac cordance with the regulations, and both g- ntle men, Mr Dallas and friend, reiu nedt" the em bassy in Harley street. Out of this tr flngitui- d- nt th> Loudon Times comocti d 1 storv at vari ance with truth in every particular, and made it the occasion of all outpouring of vulgar black guardism against 'meri'-v \ 'in rii-aus goner- rally As is usual -a lo o the m s give-/the key note, th-minor presses look up t'i( cry. and for at least two days Mr Dallas labored under the imputation of having put a studied a(T out upon the Queen. Of course an immense deal of pa triotic wrath was unnecessarily wasted on his h ad. The affair mad- considerable noise as may be seen from the following editorials: From the London Times. When will Americans learn manners? Who shall teach our translantic cousins how to behave? Here is one of them who tried on Wednesday, in defiance even of an etiquette modified to suit his • ountryrnen, to parade his republican person be fore. the Queen at her levee, in a frock coat, black neckcloth and yellow waistcoat. The thing it self was trivial, but the object was unmistakable, lie wished to have it to boast that he had com pelled the Queen to forego the usages of her Court in his especial behoof. He tried to accomplish this national feat under the wing of Mr. Dallas, who, when appealed to, supported his country man and left the palace in a pet. Well, after all, we suppose Iler Majesty will continue to hold le- V es in spite of Mr. Dallas’s displcasm-p. It is scarcely worthwhile to confute the absurd preten sions of people who, with the most irrituibe touch iness as regards themselves, combine the greatest disregard of all decorum toward others. The Queen of England says to her subjects and to I strangers who visit her in her own liotiss, “lam happy to see you all on State occasions, but if you come yon will find me gorgeously ariaycd to do von honor; return the compliment Hu n, and come | in your best.” Siie tells her guests, in fact, as i hundreds of Indies and gentlemen in this country 1 are in the habit of telling tlieir friends: “This is j a ‘full dress party,” thereby implying that al! who do not choose to observe the rule had bettter stay away. What should we ihiuk of a f dlow in private life who. after accepting an invitation to a set dinner, at which everybody else wore full dresses, present- « 1 himself in a shooting jacket and shepherd's plaid trousers? In all probability-should such a portent appear on the horizon of a gentleman's hall, it would never rise to tlie upper regions of the drawing-room, for the butler would infallibly show him the door. Now, this is what the Queen’s master of the ceremonies very properly did in the use of an American who, in a frock coat, yellow vos’and black neckcloth, chose to present himself ».t Her Majesty's levee yeasterday. He knew the usage of the Court, but lie preferred to withhold from theQiici-n and h r august company the com pliment. which evi ry gent?-man w.u.'d have rend • red Our American cousins must really learn lie good old proverb about “doing at.

This is certainly a very novel position at the South, and one savors strongly of what Mr. McDuffie stigmatized as “treason iu the tainted air.”—Teiegraph. Mistrial in the Herbert Case.—Washington, .Inly 15.—The jury in the Herbert trial were un able to agree u^Wn a verdict. The panel stood five for conviction and seven for acquittal. Another trial was expected to commence to-murrow. Queen Tiie Roman rods never outraged Bo td- n - a as this Y ankee yellow vest and black choker were ready to affront Victoria. Great is the wrath ot the i lines and 11 the royal English journals over tins personal insult to their dumpy littio Queen. * Fortunately the saffron vest did not enter the presence, or it might have brought a premature j fee to the pocket oi Dr. Locock. As i: is, nothing short ot the Order of the Garter and a peerage may b - expected by the noble Master of Cere monies, or Usher of the Black Rod, who excluded that saffron vest and its accompanying abomina tions. YVe hardly see how war can now possibly be avoided. Bright, Cobden, and tiie manufacturers will hardly dare to stem the current of popular in dignation against a race of barbarians whose MI11- ister accompanied a yellow vest and black neck doth almost to the doors of the royal drawing- room. The demolition of Boston, New Y ork and Philadelphia, would hardly atone for the dishon or sought to be dune by this saffron waistcoat, to say nothing of the black frock coat and the black cliok r: We hope Mi.

Unfortunate ly. the reporters of the London papers have not favored the world with the name of the individual who was ceased iu these villainous dry good: hut whether it was Smith or Brown, makes but little difference iu this lank enormity. Commander J. E. Bchem-k, U. S. N., lias ad dressed a letter oil the subject of Coi. Fremont’s exploits in ('alil’oinia. He says: “I am prepared to prove that so far from his (Fremont) being entitled to any credit for his participation in the conquest of California, his having failed to co-operate heartily aud efficiently with Commodore Steckton, so fat from his assist ing in tiie conquest, embarrassed him (Stockton) in iiis operations, and rendered th victory less complete than it would have been had we received from Fri mont that assistance we had a right to ex pect—mounted,arm- d and equipp d as he was. I am further prepared to prove that in every en gagement and very route of the enemv uliicli took place in California, Fremont was invariably too lata lo take part; and to sum up ail, I assert that during the whole of his service in California, he was uev, r within hearing distance of the ene my’s guns. The cause of his inefficiency I will not. here discuss.” The Brooks and Sumner Affair.—Washington, July 14.—In the House of Representative to-day the consideration of the Brooks ease was resumed. A resolution repiobating the assault on Mr. Sum ner, aud also the use of language in debate person ally offensive to members '-i' Congress or any State, was rejected by a vote of 125 ay s, to 74 nays. Mr. Cobb’s resolution, declaring that the House was without jurisdiction in the case of Mr. Brooks, was lost by a vote of 66 ayes,.to 145 nays. The resolution r ported by the majority commit tee, demanding the explusion of Mr. Brooks, was then put to vote. The vote stood, ays 12J to nay* J5. There not being a vote two thirds in favor of rile resolution, necessary by tiie rules of the house, to expel a member, the resolution to expel was lost. Mr. Brooks addressed the House, announcing that he hud sent bis r- signal ion as a number of that body, to the Governor of South Carolina, after which he retired from the hail. Latex from Nicaragua and Central America—Wal ker Elected President—New Yoik July 14.—Tho steamship Orizaba from San Juan do Nicaragua on ti c i7tli 11 st.. has arrived at this port. Walker was elected President of Nicaragua by an over whelming majuriiy on the 24th uh. There was but little opposition, the common people looking upon him as tic ir deliverer from the oppression and injustice of the native rulers. A large silver mine has been discovered in Cen tral America. The Orizaba's new from California is fifteen days’ later, but contains nothing of im portance. Holloman's Pills, a most famous Remedy for the Cure of Nervousness and General Debility.—Jas per M’Cann, of Long Island, N'-w Y'ork, was with out doubt a severe sufferer from nervous and gene ra! debility, the least thing provoked his irritabili ty, put him in a passion, and laid him up; this was caused by the bad state of the fluids, and though he tried many n inedies for this complaint, he was not benefited. At length ho had recourse to Hol loway’s Pills, which quickly performed tlieir part, by removing the injurous fluids from the system, aud after five weeks perseverance, restored him to the blessings of health. •• I Ssald Ricliis. find United ’Mates' Rights. •Ue, says: j points relative to tin-, election of March. 1^57, fur ^ "No' only the Old-lino Democracy are niitlmsi ] members »f the Legistature: yet from the whole it j .-i-’ie’ bir ill; ir li iiuis are stivng'.h nod by I clearly appears that the anti-slavery pariy was in | ’ar-ri* numbers of Old line Wings, who have j minority in fourteen out of eighteen election d.is- j "ii'-alv espuii-ed th- cause of ihe country against j triers.

We would advise every young man. before he takes his position in politic-, to examine vveli the principles, the practices, and the future prosppptg of the different parties, ft is generally admitted on all hands, that the old Whig party has 1-een disbanded, and the individuals composing that proud and powerful organization, are m>w a i ipj_ orty to take position with that party which they may consider most congenial to their principles, and most conducive to the vvellfare of the country. Of the Black Republican party, it is hardly uecessaiy to say any tiling in Georgia. It is not to he pre . snraed that any young man at the South will con nect himself with a party that is the open and avowed enemy of Southern institutions and South- eni rights There thou remains but tv, o parti -s which the young men of the South can take posi tion—the Know Nothing and the Democratic pa - ties; and >vc ask, can any young man of intel! - gone- and forecast hesitate which of ibese two to •choose ? The Know Nothing party is the off-print, of spleen an ,j prejudice, got up by unprincipled men, against our naturalized and Catholic follow citizens; and although many honest m-n m-.y have joined it from pure motives, yet it is now known that the main object of the leaders wa, to compel others to vote for them for office. s UP |, # party cannot long exist in our enlightened com- inanity, and when it goes down, it will leave „ mark, a stigma, a taint, nnon the leaders of ;his illiberal and bigoted combination, like that which now rests upon the Jesuits and the French Jar,. bins. I (Kin the skirts ot the Democratic party tharc is no taint; its past history is honorable, anil its future prospects are glorious. Around the dr*, titties of that party cluster all the hopes of tho friends of constitutional liberty, not only in Amer ica, but throughout the world. The Democratic party of tha United States is the centre of all the hopes of the friends of liberal principles, and it is also their only defence against the encroachments ol tyranny, bigotry and fanaticism. YVho would not be a member of such a glorious party ? Wfijq young man, with patriotic blood coursing in ha veins, would not desire to become one of this re- sistiess column, whoso destiny is onward and up. ward! The Democracy can say to every patriot what Moses said to llobab, “Come with us and we will do thee good.” TLose young men'who attach themselves to the Democratic party, em bark in a strong, well-tried ship, with experienced j officers, s illful pilots, and a sober, well-discip lined crew. Those who attach themselves to Know Nothingism, or any of the other isms, em bark in a rotten hulk, without chart or compass, ballast or rudder, with self-conceited, ignorant officers, drunken pilots, and a mutinous crow. The r.-suit of a voyage commenced under such auspices, can hardly be prosperous We say to the young man of Georgia, examine for yourselves. Study the history of both parties, and choose for yourselves. But choose wisely, for rest assured, your usefulness, your happiness, and your politi cal destiny will depend greatly upon the choico you now make. A. J. E>oue'xo:s 71 r. i>arhunnn.

The Editor of the Constitutionalist,Augusta Ga. will publish this week a sheet of tho size of the Tri-B'eelJy Constitutionalist, containing a large number of the most important documents bearing “OnrlieNi Friend.” The Richmond Whig says Fillmore is our best J friend. If lie is, says the Enquirer, then is the ! South under mortgage to the devil. If he is the South’s “best friend,” God save us from its enemies. Who is In- ? We hope our friends in Macon will let us know the name of the Kuow Nothing orator that, in the late Macon Convention, compared Judge Doug lass to B -n'-dict Arnold. Let us have his name by all means. Every man in Georgia should know the name of the man that could be guilty of such meanness. lion- Strange! The Savannah Republican ot the loth inst., lias a long article made up principally of extracts from tiie Courier A: Enqu.rer aud other northern papers, all proving orint- ud' d to prove,that Mr. Fillmore’s friends at the North are friendly to the Kansas Nebraska bill. Whilst the Republican is engag 'd iu this labor of love, the Recorder of this place comes out flat footed against the Kansas bill, and we hear that Jamas Johnson one of the Fillmore Electors iu Georgia, hi a public speech, openly de nounced the Nebraska bill, and worst of all we are assured that one of the speakers at the Know Nothing Convention in Macon, called Judge D nights, Stephen Arnold, intimating that tlie great champion of the Nebraska bill was a traitor, and for ihat choice specimen of Know Nothing wit, was applauded by the Fillinoreites there pres ent. li would seoiu then that according to the Courier A: Enquirer. Mr. Fillmore's northern sup porters are better Nebraska men than those in Georgia. One renegade is worse than ten Turks. “CiqiiuUiT Sovereignly is n!so Ui‘pn4ialeit.” The R*-corder of Tuesday last, says, “Squatter Sovereignty is also repudiated ” by the Macon Know-Nothing Convention. Then how d d you swallow Fillmore ? How did you get that Lock- port speech of Fillmore’s down ? We gave you last week au extract from that speech, in the very language which you have asserted to be Squatter Sovereignty. It is known to the country that the Cincinnati Convention repudiated the doctrine; and it is also known that Mr. Buchanan endorsed the platform of that Convention in its totality, thereby repudiating the doctrine himself. But it was not known how Fillmore stood on that doc trine, until bis Lockport speech. We now dial" letige the R' eord -r to show wherein Fillmore’s as sertion of the doctrine differs from their construc tion, as published about five or six weeks ago. Wh' n they do this, they may hope to reconcile the difference between tlieir candidate and their Macon platform. what ha wrote in 1351. “What if Mr. Buchanan, in Ihe early part of his life, was a member of the Federal party, and fol lowed the false lights of the men who are even yet the oracles for a large portion of the whig par ty? Are they to be rewarded for persevering to the bitter end, and seeking, at this moment, to reinstate the primitive doctrines of the Federal party? And is Mr. Buchanan to be scandaliz.-d because he had the courage a quarter of a century ago to acknowledge his conviction that tnose doc trines were unwise and dangerous, and couid not lie maintained without destroying the republican principle? By what code of justice—rrligimis. moral, or political—docs the special organ find that it is more meritorious to persevere in wrong than to acknowledge the conviction of error, and to Uo what is proper and commendable aft rwaids as tiie votary of truth? Does the special org;m desire us to republish the numerous evidences af forded by the recent speeches of the President's cabinet, almost deifying Alexander Hamilton, the great prototype of Whiggery, in order that tho people may see that the real issue of the parties, stripped of all the disguise which is thrown around it by the momentary passion aud errors of individuals, is exactly what it was at the dose of Gen. Washington’s administration, when the Hamiltonian school, in love with British prece dents, brought forth the alien and s> dition laws, and tii" republican school, appealing to the com mon sense of the country, reinstated the consti tution as a compact between equal States, and put down the dangerous doctrine that, under the guise of the term ire. the people aud general welfare, ns us ed in the preamble of the constitution, the federal government acquired a f^wer to do whatever tho discretion ot Congress might decide to be best lor the common good? If this is the expectation of the special organ, we are ready to gratify it: but w - trust that in doing so it wiil not blame us for the pain resulting to one who undertakes to "kick against tin pricks." X%~ ii j* ia it t There are no other two men in the United States that have done so much, and risked so much for the benefit of the South as Judge Douglas aud Franklin Pierce, and yet there are no other men for whom Southern Know Nothings entertain such bitter, unrelenting hatred. The question is fre quently asked, why do these Georgia Know No things hate these men with a hatred that exceeds all bounds. Is it from that innate principle of envy and hate which depraved beings feel forthe great ami good ? or is it because the conduct of these two men lias given the lie direct to all their sweep ing charges against the Northern Democracy? It would r ally seem that when men joined a Know Nothing lodge, they not only gave up the privi lege of telling the truth when and where they pleased; the privilege of voting for whom they plen-ed, and the privilege of worshipping God as they pleased, but they also give up all those noble faculties of the soul which inspire love, gratitude and admiration towards those wlu> have been our benefactors in time of need. lien. J.-inirt Johnson. We hear that this gentleman made a sjiecch in Macon last week, that took the wind out of Fill- niorc'w sails on the Missouri Compromise sensa tion. Wo were told in Macon, last Wednesday, that he even advocated ihe restoration of the line. We are not at nil surprised at this. A few weeks will find the Georgia Know Nothings cheek by jowl with the Black Republicans, on the subject of restoring the Missouri Compromise line. Whv don’t they take. Fremont,aud be consistent. Fi 1 !- more may be whitewashed from morning to night, but in principle and in thcconsequeno.es that must arise from enforcing their views, Fremont and Fillmore will perfectly harmonise. “But the special organ, instead of manfully ac- knowledguing the error which has been commit ted by its party in the countenance it has given to political anli-Slaeery organization—an error not denied nor even concealed by the President, or any one of Ins cabinet ministers, in the various speeches which they have addressed to the Abolition districts f New York—imagines that it is its office to neu tralize the force of of such a fact bv reviving the stale charge of federalism against Mr Buchanan, who is one, amongst some eight or ten of the prominent men in the Democratic party, that may lie brought before a national convention, whose duty it w:ll be to put some one of them in nomina- ti"n tor the Presidency. This gentleman has iriends who will doubtless in due season make a more detailed vindication of las character than wo have done iu tins hasty article. YY’iiat we have said is not a defence of Mr. Buchanan as a candi date for the Presidency, but of a member of the party in whosi service lie lias acquired the high respect tit his fellow citizens, aud lias proved that he possesses the eminent ability and patriotism which juslifie I the confidence given to him by the State which he so long represented in the Senate of th- United States, and ajterwards by President Polk who mice him the first place in his cabinet. “We do not kuow that Mr. Buchanan evi r de livered the speech which is attributed to him; but, if he did, we do not perceive how a party which still entertains tin- opinions it avowed can profit by them either as the ground of personal accusa tion orof party reproach to the Democracy. That these opinions were groundless is proved bv the testimony which the more mature life aud expe rience of Mr. B. has afforded. Every one knows that they are just such as had been taught and are still entertained by all the opponents of such men as Messrs Jefferson. Madison, and Jackson. They were as natural to the school of Federalism as Abolitionism is to that portion of YYhiggerv whit h ( . I claimed its disciples as children, as Mr. Coi win didin the canvass of General Taylor, and Messrs Seward and his British allies are now daily doing in New York and other Northern portions of our Union." These are the honest sentiments of a man, before disappointed ambition bad embittered the source of the pure waters ot Truth. It is a fact ofi.o little significance, that the very man the Know- Nothings have now honored with their coniid uco and esteem, is, of all other men in this Union, the last man to commend Fillmore and condemn Buch anan. Mr. Donelson is, at once, a living witness ot Fillmore’s unsoundness, and Buchanan s trust- worihiuess. lie cannot praise the first and con- d-'inn the latter, without leaving the inference on the public mind, that he is a w illful calumniator utterly destitute of principle, and an enemy to Truth. Noft Soap nnd Water. A Know Nothing Journal in upper Georgia says that ail of the soft soap that the Democrats have used upon the Know Nothings has been wasted. Perhaps so, but if the Democrats had used a quan tity of soft water with the soft soap, we are sure that it would have been beneficial to some of tho Kuow Nothings.
