careful to give us the name of the postoffice from
which they wish it changed as well as the post-
office to which they wish it sent.
The Law of Newspapers.
1. Snbscribcribers who do not give express no
tice to the contrary, are considered as wishing to
continue their subscription.
2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their
newspapers, the publisher may continue to send
them until all arrearages arc paid.
if. If subscribers neglect or refuse to takP
their newspapers from the offices to which they
are directed, they arc held responsible until they
have settled the hills and ordered them discontin
ued.
4. If subscribers remove to other places without
informing the publishers, and the newspapers are
s- nt to the former direction, they are held responsi
ble.
5. The Courts have decided that refusing to take
newspapers from the office or removing and leav
ing them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of
intentional fraud.
6 The United States Courts have also repeated
ly decided, that a Postmaster who neglects to
perform his duty of giving reasonable notice, as
required by tlie Post Office Department, of
the neglect of a-person to take from the office
newspapers addressed to him, renders the Post
master liable to the publisher for the subscription
price.

The Comptroller General.
From the subjoined statement of the Columbus
Times, we presume, that the errors, if any, in the
tables furnished by the Comptroller General were
not his, but those who made the returns.
The Columbus Times of the 7 th inst., says;
“We have been requested by Mr. Tiivveatt.
the Comptroller General to state that he. has not
committed any error in relation to the polls return
ed for Muscogee county. He gave what was return
ed on the Tax Digest sent to his office—nothing
more nor less. He refers ns to the Collector’s
Digest to see whether or not it agrees with the one
sent to the Comptroller. Upon examination, we
find ’here are hut 8 10 polls returned ou the Col
lector’s bonk. It therefore remains for the late
Receiver of Tax Returns to explain the great dis
crepancy between the voters in this couuty and
the number of polls returned for taxation.’-
A Niraiige Charge Against the Democratic
I'artj'.
The Columbus Enquirer of the 12th inst.,
charges the Democracy with the offence of carry
ing out the very principles which the Whig and
Know Nothing parties would have sustained if
they had been in power. We do not by any means
admit the truth of this accusation; we think the
Enquirer has arrived at this conclusion by follow
ing a chain of sophistry rather than a chain of
facts ; but suppose it is true, why should the En
quirer complain ? Why should Whigs and Know
Nothings complain because the Democrats have
done everything which they wanted done ? Sure
ly such a complaint, if it is just, does not come
with propriety from their mouths, uuless they
complain because the Democracy has done every
thing so well that there is nothing left to complain
of. But is it true that the Democracy have carried
out Whig and Know Nothing measures. A Uni
ted States Bank, and high protective tariff were
the leading measures of the old Whig party. The
Democracy put down the Bauk, and substituted
the independent Treasury; that certainly is not a
Whig measure. The Democracy went against a
tariff for protection only; but were in favor of a
tariff for revenue with incidental protection. When
the present tariff’was established the Whigs declar
ed it would not raise a revenue sufficient to pay
the expenses of the government. This, like many
other Whig- predictions has been refuted by ex-
i -lienee, and now they complain because it raises
too much revenue. The Democracy have never
sanctioned the Know Nothing dogma, that an im
migrant must remain here twenty-one years before
.he could have the privileges of a citizen, or that a
man’s religion should disqualify him from holding
oil.ee.
IVo Accounting for Tinn,
Mr. Henry Winter Davis of Maryland, we be-
1 eve is the only member of Congress from the
8 ’ntli that has uniformly, and systematically, vo
te j with the Black Republicans, and this is the
man whom our neighbor has singled out as the
special object of Ins praise. There were many
“ • ' in Congress from the South deserving the
f’ inniend itions of every Southern man, strange
! en tiiat ourneighbor should pass by such r.ion as
* n '' and I’ratt of Maryland, Caruthers and Oli-
ver °f Missouri, Watkins of Tennessee, and
ioombs and Stephens of Georgia, and lavish all his
I n?es on Mr. Davis. This Mr. Davis has gener-
a-ly been considered as no better than a traitor to
me ..outh, and yet this is the man that seems to
“ S,r - J all the sympathies of the Southern Recor-
II t V hat should we think of an American wri
te., pretending to give a faithful history of the
• ir-rican Revolution, who should pass by Wasli-
■ --'ten. Greene, Putnam, Morgan and all the other
1 1 > of that period, and lavish all his praise and
•■apathy on Benedict Arnold. It seems to us
“ oar neighbour’s partiality fdt Mr. Davis is
’’ ’ ge and unnatural, and yet we acknowledge
iS a right to indulge it to the top of his bent.
' nave hear 1 that the constituents of Mr. Davis
* l iv e tnkon a very different view of his conduct,
“ i it is believed that hereafter they will choose
so *" other man to represent them in Congress,
"e Lope this is true, for the South has enemies
1 °"- b to contend with from the North, and should
troubled with such representatives as Mr.
Know Nothing Ucntroitity.

part of two strong powers of the rights and sove

more remarkble, while the United States and
England are thus settling boundaries and fixing
reservations, the real principles to the act thus
made for them by these self-constituted attorneys,
are engaged in a bloody strife.
We believe that the Senate will modify or re
ject altogether the trims of this projected treaty,
to which Costa Rica and Nicaragua are the par-

l'uutcc»Brr Trouble.
We regret to see some of our Know Nothing
friends giving themselves much unnecessary trou
ble about the next Governor. To all such we say
in pure kindness; be not troubled about the next
Governor, the Democrats will see to that, al^ in
good time. In spite of all your ill-natured inter
meddling, they will give you a good Governor,
which is more than some of you deserve, after
finding so much fault with your present excellent
chief magistrate. Why then should these rest
less, discontented, ungrateful Know Nothings,
chafe and fret, and make themselves miserable
about a thing which they know the Democrats will
attend to, and see that it is done well. When,
.vc a<k. have the Democrats neglected to do their
duty in this respect ? And if they have attended
to it, and done it well in times past, why distrust
them now ? “Oh ye of little faith.” But to sat
isfy these grumblers, we will tell them hew arid
when the thing will be done. Some time in June
a very large and enthusiastic Convention of the
“iron-ribbed Democracy” from every part of the
State will assemble in Milledgeville, and select
one of our best citizens as a candidate for Govern
or. He will be presented to tbe people on a Dem
ocratic platform. He will be a man well known
to the people, and well qualified for the office. The
people having made such a selection will confirm
their choice in October by electing him Governor.
In making these predictions, we have been guided
by the history of the past: the people have found
that this plan of Conventions has worked well,
and given us good Governors thus far, and they
are not prepared to change it for any Know Noth
ing plan: they are willing to let well enough
alone.
fougreasiomtl I m rxtign! i tig Com mi I fee.
From all we can learn, the Committee appointed
to investigate the charge of Congressional corrup
tion are doing their duty. It is said that they
have struck several trails, and it is believed there
is plenty of game ahead. We hope they will pro
secute their investigations with vigor, and, if pos
sible, hunt down the varmints that have been
prowling about Washington, in quest of prey, for
several years. Let them be exposed, and let their
punishment be a warning to their successors.
Above all, we hope that the members of Congress,
whilst their band is in, will take some means to
drive away that flock of vultres called the Lobby.
The Central American Question.
The Dallas and Clarendon Treaty.
With the affairs of Central America are con
nected the most important political and social
problems of the day. Central America bids fair
to be one of the grand throughfares of com
merce, und it requires no great stretch of forecast
to anticipate that its possession and control must
be an element which will have vast influence in
shaping the policy of the world. The destinv
of that portion of the continent over which the
American flag waves has, we hope, been fixed,
and that its usefulness to man will be measured
by the natural increase of population, the de
velopment of natural freedom and the progress
of education and science. That of other por
tions of America was not so clear. It was how
ever early deemed a measure of self-protection
and tending to secure the best interests of hu
manity that a stand should be taken in reference
to the extension of European forms of govern
ment over the American continent.
President Monroe gave a solemn notification to
the Government of Europe, that any further
attempts at colonization in the Western
Hemisphere would be regarded with disfavor
by the Government and people ofthe United
States
General Jackson distinctly and repeatedly
cuounced the same view, and succeeding admin
istrations have ratified it, while the Democratic
party, which has always given its distinctive form
and pressure to both the foreign and domestic
policy of the country, has emphatically approved
and made the Monroe doctrine a leading article of
the party creed.
The enlargement of the territory of the United
States on the Pacific, by the annexation of Cali
fornia, and the rapid growth of those regions, and
the trade and travel hither and thither conse
quent of the gold discovery, transformed the
Monroe doctrine into a maxim of immediate ap
plication to existing interests of the largest mag
nitude. Central America held out a number of
rival routes for the transit of this trade primari
ly, and also of that between the countries bor
dering on the Pacific and those of Europe. The
vision which had been the leading star of Colum
bus was realized, and Commerce, following in
the footsteps of Balboa, “standing upon a cliff in
Darien,” overlooked both oceans. The anarchy
and weakness of the States of Central America
were elements which produced some uneasiness
for the future, but they granted to various pri
vate companies rights to traverse their territories.
It was now that the first great mistake was made
by a whig Administration. A treaty was en
tered into with England in Refe. jnce to Central
America, known by the name of the negotiators
as the Clavtou-Bulwer treaty. Never was
there a greater diplomatic swindle with the
construction put upon it by Great Britain than
this famious treaty. The patent safe operators,
the Peter Funks and all the tribe of moral mani
acs, were surpassed in duplicity by the ingeni
ously tuned phrases of the courtly Embassador of
England. Language never assumed a more cha-
meiion fashion: the ancient oracles were outdone,
and seven years have only gathered a denser fog
over its real meaning.
We need not say that we have sympathized with
the acts of Gen. Walker in Nicaragna. His ap
pearance there was under the sanction of the law
ful authority, and the people have ratified his con
tinuance. The Gordian knot of diplomacy, inter
woven by the subtle brain of Sir Henry Buhver, it
seemed, was ready to be cut by the bold and
vigircus action of William Walker, and all that
was required was that he should be let alone to
deal with his betrayers.
The object held out by Sir H-nry Iliilwer to he
secured by the treaty he proffered to Mr. Clayton,
was the abnegation of all right to colonize or
claim sovereignty in Central America, but it was
singularly involved with a condition that the
complete neutrality of the transit route secured,
all else in the treaty might be considered
mere surplusage, and provisoes Jfill of apparent
meaning were thus to be regardeffas empty notli-
ings.
Public opinion in America has condeined with
entire unanimity that construction of this treaty
which the English Government has been pleas
ed to put upon it, and if not abrogated by (he
course of events in Nicaragua, it was proper
that it should have been set aside by the parties to
it.
In carrying out this design, a new treaty has
been negotiated by Mr. Dallas and Lord Claren-
den, to take the place of the previous obnoxious
arrangement.
The treaty in question reserves certain land
for the Mosijueto Indians; erects Grcytown into
a free city; guarantees the navigation of the San
Juan to Costa Rica, and settles various matters of
boundary and territorial extent between ihe States
of Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras. That this
treaty is far preferable, in some respects to the
Ciayton-Bulwer, is undeniable. England abau-'
dons her claims that the Belize settlement was em
braced in that treaty, and in addition, surrenders
the Bay Islands to Honduras. But she transforms
her protectorate of the Mosqueto Kingdom into
the erection of an Indian Government within
the limits of Nicaragua, and to be guaranteed by
that State, or to be merged into her own sovereign
ty, hy the adoption of these miserable savages as
her citizens.
In one word, by the Dallas-Clarendon treaty
England and the United States assume the tu
telage and protectorate of all the Central Ameri
can States, including the puissant monarch of
Mosquitia; they negotiate, run lines, make res
ervations and erect free ports, while substantially
tney say to Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Honduras,
at your peril refuse to ratify this treaty which
w>- have made lor you. If this is not a ease of
diplomatic duress, we know not what is. The
Ciayton-Bulwer treaty, as construed by the Brit
ish Government, was a fraud on the United States,

John Bull’s convicts arc a constant source of
uneasiness They increase and multiply like
the vermin of Egypt. The proportion of crimi
nals to “the rest of mankind,’ in the United
Kingdom is only to be excelled by the proportion
of paupers, There is a terrible increase of felo
nies year after year, hand in hand with the in
crease of wealth and the luxuries of refined civil
ization. The more wealth, the fewer the hands that
control it; the fewer wealty, the more poverty-
stricken; the more paupers, the more felons.—
England literally overruns with both paupers
and felons, Ireland, Scotland and Wales swell
the fearful aggregate of crime and wretchedness
What to do with those whom the law must brand
with the title of convict—that is the question.—
Whither banish the wrong-doers? What desert
and distant land, unacquainted with the tread of
civilized man, or unused to it, shall be sought
out, into which they may he poured, like a foul
stream expelled from its native channel, and di
verted to find outlets where it can neither taint
the air nor desolate the groundl This is one of
the social problems of the day, and the many
headed “organs of the British public,” the
newspaper press across the water, are, we
perceive, discussing it with their accustomed
disregard for the interests and views of any other
people.
\ ancouver's Island and the lands of the Hud
son's Bay Company are among the territories
suggested as admirable sites for the establish
ment of new British Penal Settlements. It is in
deed, apprehended, merely as a passing idea, in
one of the- papers, that the selection of a spot in
North America “might embroil us (the British)
with the United States,” but that is but a
momentary thought; and what the Americans
should be likely to think or do about the matter
is evidently scarcely worth considering, in the
mind of the Cockney statesmen of the London
press. Unless new and sufficiently spacious
realms for a new colony of crime can be found in
Australia, it is clear that the English are con
templating the location of the amiable human ex-

Fire in .TJebFe— Three Warrhousrs and 12,500
Bales Colton Destroyed.
The Mobile Register, of the 10th inst., gives the
following account of the disastrous fire which
occurred in that city on the 9th inst:
Since the firo trial year, 1839, no such destruc
tion has befallen our city as began yesterday even
ing, shortly after 3 o’clock. It commenced in
Montgomery Warehouse, on the corner of Com
merce and Adams streets, and as the wind blew

amount ofloss involved, nor on whom it will fall,
out its prison-inmates into the vicinity of another
nation, is a question to which none but a nega
tive answer can be returned. International law
is but a code of declaration of moral rights com
pounded into a species of public agreement be
tween .State and State. If international law can
not be invoked to deny to the British Govern
ment the use of its North American possessions
for penal colonies, the inference simply is, that
the injunction ita utere suo ut non aheni noecre has
not the application to communities that it has to
individuals.
We have no hesitation in saying that the at
tempt to plant in our vicinity such a nest of out
laws and villains as is contemplated, would be a
deliberate casus belli. That it will not be seriously
attempted by the British Ministry, we trust and
hope. But that an early intimation of the repug
nance with which our Government would
view, and the hostility with which it would
meet such an attempt would not be out of place,
we also believe, for it might cheek iu the
very inception the possible contemplation of such a
policy.—Ncic York Daily News.

accurately. But the loss cannot be far short of a
million of dollars. Such was the calculation of
many practical men last night. Yet, estimating it
at $850,000, in the gross, we have it from a calm
and experienced calculator, that of the amount lost
$250,000 are insured in Mobile. That of the
residue 30 per cent, or $180,080 are insured
abroad; and the balance, or $420,000 will fall on
the planters as uninsured. So vast a devastation
has thrown the whole city into consternation.
The hills of solid living fire that covered the vast
space formed a picture sublimely fearful. Of the
cause various conjectures were floating through
tbs crowds assembled at the spot. Some attribute
it to spontaneous combustion. Others to sparks
driven obliquely across the street from the Pile
Driver in the rising press and Ice House on the
nearly oppose block. But it was impossible to de
termine this fact with any certainty; but sure it is
that such was the rapidity of the conflagration,
urged onward by the stormy North wind, that no
power of man could stay its progress. The slen
der walls of demarcation between the ware houses
were but as paper barricades; and the mass of
solid fire that hilled, like a picture pandemonium
the entire square, without a seeming separation,
was a magnificient but fearful sight.
The three warehouses, we understand, apper
tained to the Planters Press, and rented by Messrs.
Magee and C'luis; but so vast a loss will shade the
circles ofa thousand homes.

The tuneful ivory key;
Those silent notes of thine are such

I’ll make no question if thy skill
The pencil comprehends;
Enough for me, love, if thou still
C’anst draw thy dividends!
