From ths ifthiphi* Eiyle <{• Enquirer.
io the Hon. Vespasian Ellis, Editor of
the American Organ.
jiKVRSm: Although lam a subscriber for, and
been a pretty constant reader of your paper,
engagements from home have cut off my news
■ r reading for some time oast, until a few days
| , your weekP issue of trie Bth December fell
■nv hands. The first thing that atiracted mv
..rion, was an editorial on tfre first jrage, vindl
your editorial consistency upon the question
• lavery; and die next was the absence of the
■ji rican Philadelphia platform from the columns
she paper.
:• i» tru - -, .dr, that ;on were a member of the
v. ntiou that adopted that platform—that after
adoption, you placed it in your paper and kept
reft* b*r a long time, as a standing exposition of
principles of the party. It is further true, that
i wrote a uuuiber of editorials in defence of each
i every article of the platform. It is true, that
1 bate taken down that platform, and that you
v insist that the whole question of slavery ought
excluded from our party creed, and that the
I’tion of the igth article of that platform is in- :
nistent with the organization of n National 1
Now, sir. in the face of ail these facts, your
curse may have been a consistent one. I shall j
that question to be settled between yourself f
i those who have taken issue with you upon lhat ,
-siioii. It is a question about which I shall not ;
ibl myself; nor will the Southern people, f
-nme, feel any great concern in its settlement, i
- with your present position, as the editor of an j
> a riean journal, that 1 propose to deal, and not
i its r-mtUtenoif or i HoonxUtenc;/ with former j
understand you to hold now, that the question
slavery should be wholly “pretermitted in the
.•iitiization of a National party; and that our
•norm should contain nothing on the subject;”
i von strangely enough, too, insist upon this be
ise tit question of slavery is a sectional, and not
Natruial question. Here, sir, 1 take issue with
Every subject provided for in the Federal
•istitution must thence become national in its
.araeter. The framers of our national compact
lit to provide for the protection of the rights of
■holders, and imposed a direct affirmative duty
•a the General Government to provide for the
ration of our --laves when from
Hence the duty of the Government to make
isiou for the enforcement of that right, as well
> lie duty of each Mate in the confederacy to
J a prompt and ready aequiesence in the exe
■yiuii of the law.
ci form a national party, therefore, and exclude
n its creed any and all provisions for a vital
of fifteen nut of the thirty-one States of
Union, would be an instance of folly amount
_ to infatuation on the part of the South—a
you may rest assured, sir, that neither par
:ii the slave States will do. Nothing, sir, but
obstinate and fanatical folly of the delegates
a the tree State-,iu*withdru wing from the Amer
•n Convention, at Philadelphia, caused the de
i ut the party at the South. The objection eve
hrre urged against was, that we were not a
party. o .m>. , i» of sixteen free States,
■i} one had remained in the Convention and
sanctioned ihe platform, and that one bv a divided
there w.i-> too much truth in the accusation to
admit of its denial, and too muoh/btre in that
ch.tohv avoided. And to make the matter still
• ; on. -.ir, now tell us that in the Free State
remained with us in Convention, the late
imcrieati victory was obtained by repudiating the
. artich- of the platform. Mark, now, sir, what
i il you. If the American party North caunot
sent to stand with us ujion the principles of the
Philadelphia platform, we will never stand togetb-
The people of the South will not abate one
■n- tittle of the principles embraced in that
iiirm upon ihe subject of slavery for all the
i - - intents that ever have been or ever may he elect
rJ in America, and the public printing into the bnr-
K..r yi!*is past; in fact ever since the con trover- '
|-s that grew oat of the currency and tariff ques
| a» have ccas i (o occupy the public mind, the
l . i parties at tii ■ .South have (lone iiltle else than
logise and explain away the offensive resolu
•ns and > o ' of their respective allies, at the
■ : tLi. During all ibis time we have been assailed .
almost every shape that fanatical ingenuity could
eat. !>;. resolutions in the primary meetings
1 tite people in the free State.-, and in legislative
State ami Federal, and by legislative enact
as and judicial decisions, calculated and intend
;o embarra.-s mdeti: off - the enforcement of our ;
aititational rights, to have our strayed or stolen
norty returned to tts. We have been assailed
she press and the pulpit, in primary schools, ■
id-rnies and Colleges, m public hotels and on
high ways, ,otd in the cheap light literature of
■ day ; by emissaries sent amongst us to abuse
. hospitality, corrupt and steal away our slaves,
. i in fine, in almost every mode except arrest and
■•-a war, and even that has been advised.
[during all this time, the South has occupied on
■ defensive position. She has appealed in vain
die patriotism of the men of the North- -to the
iTotlterbood of our fathers, to our national com-;
v't cemented hv the blood of a common aneestrv.
- i- has pointed to the Constitution, and only call
'd tor the protection which it promises. She has
ei <-i made war upon the opinions, practices or
of the North. She has not sought to thrust
•pi-lions, - r her institutions upon them. Site
..- _ • up no populai furor to influence the press,
ilni; or the school houses, against any interest of
X- then, sisters. She has offered them a
-• id.d markt- for all her products, from those of
'o highest works of enlightened industry, down
hit little notions, the fruitscof ingenious neees
■ iv. She has patronized their merchants, their
Oiochanics. their institutions of learning, their * ms
-ini tli.-ir daughters who have cmne amongst us to
* ek a living and even promotion to the highest
, on! of honor. And all she asks in return, is that
■ • affirmative duty imposed bv the Constitution
i restoring our fugitive slaves, shall be punctual
\ Hsi i v•• 1 and that for the rest, the government,
- • i..r as >: very i« concerned, shall let us alone.
But c i 0 this small boon is denied us. We are
dd that the lew providing for the return of fugi
• ves shall be swept from the Statute book, and
,at all tile power ••! thirlv-oue confederate :
'talcs, including out solves, shall be exerted to hem :
m, suffocate and choke out an institution upon
shich our vitality depends. Now, sir, in the face ■
■■i these undeniable facts you insist that in the or
ganization of a National party the South shall
wrlvk these threatened dangers and place her
- if without inquiry in the hands of the North,
lien she does that act of folly she will open a
grave that will inclose all that is dear and vital to :
tier. Sir, appeals to us from the North in favor ol’
die Missouri restriction came with a had grace af
ter the debates and votes in Congress in 1--47, upon
’lr. Burt's amendment to the Oregon bill. The
>outh did not then oppose the restriction clause in
he bill; ail -he asked for was simply the reeogui
. n of the act of I'-.'o. And Mr. Burt’s amend
ment was offered for that sole purpose and yet it
ias insultingly scouted in debate and killed off' iu i
■ vote. No candid man, North or South, can
eud the debate and count the votes in Congress
:• that celebrated amendment, and then listen
;te- long-faced homilies that we now have from
'•••• North in favor of the “time honored Compro
»i* with feelings other than those of the most
,'i ofound contempt.
Oneo for all, Sir, let me assure you, and your
- -rthern friends, that die political party which
rail elite; the next Presidential canvass without a
h.Uorin containing substantially the principle* of !
-he twelfth article of the American Philadelphia j
. attorin, will nut command a “ corporate’ guard’’
the South. This political see-sawing has run
- course. He that is not for us is against us. The
-stne number ot vour paper alluded to in the be
ginning ,»t tiiis leuerjeontains the substance of res
olutions upon the subject of slavery, passed by
s «ies: oeratie meeting in Georgia. The same reso
• ilions, in substance, were passed bv a primary
. . etiug of Dem ocrats in this State. Thev contain
,e substance of the 12th Article of the American
,ts rill, a-.td : in. assure you. Sir, that upon the
-abject ot slavery, they speak the unbroken lan
.tuage of the fp>mh -the language of a people who
-nuu their rights, and knowing, can maintain

Tut Pni.siDhx i as a Whiter. —The New f ork
Sunday Mercury, a neutral paper, pounces savage
ly- upon the foul maligners of Gen. Pisuoh, who
infest Washington. It says :
The jackdaw of correspondent, if he knew 1
anything, ought to know that the inaugural address
of a President has. in all cases, been the inceptive
production of the President, concocted by his own 1
pen ; and either read or spoken to the world, after
having been submitted to the consideration of his
immediate Cabinet Ministers. We have not thus
far had a President, with the exception of Gen.
Jackson and Taylor, who have not been known as
reputable belles-lettres scholars.
As for Gen. Franklin Pierce, the President of the
United Stares, whom the stupid correspondent of
the New York Herald would have the world be
lieve is so deficient in literary acquirements, that
he has to employ Judge Gilchrist to write his State
papers, everybody who personally knows aught of
the man, knows that he is one of the first classical
scholars of the day. At College, he ranked with
tlie best of the belles-lettres scholars then induced
to Alma Mater ; and while at th eNew Hampshire
bar and when in tiie United States House of Rep
resentatives. and in the Senate, he stood conspicu
ous among bis peers as an elegant writer.
The Columbia Enquirer in noticing tlm contem
plated removal to Augusta, of T. S. l’iggot, Esq.,
the able Telegraphic Agent of the Associated
Press, pays the gentleman the following well
merited compliment, which we most cordially en
dorse.
*■ In parting with Mr. Piggot, it is due to him,
from our business connection with him in one of
the daily papers of the city, to say that he lias dis
charged iiis duties faithfully, promptly, and to the
satisfaction of all concerned. Hi- is u gentleman
of courteous manners, very amenable in Ins inter- ‘
course with the press, and very obliging in every
respect in the various details connected with his
position. The Association could have no more
efficient and courteous officer to attend to their in
terests than he, and we lake great pleasure in re
commending him to the kindness, courtesy and at
tention of our Augusta cotemporaries, cordially
wishing him a pleasant residence among them.”
A personal and busines acquaintance with Mr.
Piggot, of iong standing, enables us heartily to
endorse the flattering compliment paid him by our
friend of the Ejramintr. We are pleased to learn
that Mr. P. has removed to Augusta, where we feel
as.ured he will enjoy facilities in bis business as
telegraphic agent of tic associated press, which the
wires did not furnish him while the relay station
was at Columbia.— Sir. Jour,, Jan. 7.
Railroads in the United States.— lt is stated 1
that in 1 s*2s there were but three miles of railway j
in the United States ; in lsgu it increased to 28
miles; in 1830 to 4L miles; in 1840 to 1,197 miles;
and now in 1850 it reaches 23,342 miles. We have
in addition probably 2,000 miles of double track,
making all more than 2.5,000 miles of iron wav, or
n length more than sufficient to encircle the globe
at the equator. Within ten years the length has
neon quadrupled, and since 1850 alone, trebled.
There arc now at least six thousand miles in pro
cess of construction, that will be in use before the
end of the year 1857. Valuing the completed rail
roads at f-wv'oO per mile, the capital now invested
in this interest amounts to $*>97,260,000.
Accident on thf. Greknvjllk Railroad.— Yes- j
terduy, a h-w miles above Ninety-Six, while run
ning at lull time, tne mail car, baggage car, and
the forward ttutks of the passenger car were •
thrown suddenly from the road -it is supposed
from the spreading of the rails. The engine, for
tueatelv, remained on the track, and became sepa
rated from the train, which prevented more seri
ous consequeuces. A young: man received some
slight injury, and a boy of Mr. Wm. McGuinnis’
named William, a brakemnn, jumped from the
platform, and broke his leg. lie received timely
assistance from Dr. Blake, of Ninety-Six, and has
been since brought home. The fracture being a
simple one, bo is likely to get on very favorably.

FORMAN S IRON PLOW STOCK.
TIHE undersigned having c
purchased the patent right
I to the above valuable and popu- niltn
| lar PLOW STOCK for the
! Columbia, Lincoln, Burke, Jefferson, Washington,
Seriven and Emanuel, are prepared to furnish it to
Planters at the Manufacturer’s price. This stock,
which is made entirely of wrought iron, is a South
ern invention ; and has been sufficiently tested by
tlie most practical and successful planters in the
country, as numerous certificates in our possession
will show-, to prove that, when provided with suita
ble shares, it runs more steadily, breaks and pul
verizes the soil more thoroughly, clogs less in rough
land, is more easily adjusted for deep or shallow
plowing, holds the shares more firmly, lasts incom
i parably longer, and is, in the end, far cheaper than
any other stock now in uso.
In the November number of the Southern Culti
vator, p. 345, the editor of that work, says: “ After
giving this Plow a fair and impartial trial, we can j
truly say that we regard it as a most valuable im
provement on all common wooden implements of
the kind now in use. For general efficiency and [
convenience, as well as special adaptation to </«y>
tillage or mibnoiling, we know of nothing that sur- 1
passes it; while ou the score of economy and dura- j
oility, it is altogether unrivalled. No Plow with
which we are acquainted is so well calculated to i
resist the careless and destructive usage of planta
tion negroes, and wc doubt not that its general in- !
troduction would be of very great pecuniary benefit
to the planting interests of the South. Such is the j
opinion of the editor of the Cultivator, and such is
the opinion of all who, like, him, have given the ;
plow a fair and impartial trial. This stock is '
adapted to six different points or shares, including j
every variety which a planter will need from the !
beginning to the end of the year. These shares ;
will be furnished with the stock when desired,
though auy plantation South can make them after :
once seeing them. The stock is the only part of
the plow patented.
Circulars, containing certificates, and a more >
minute description of the Plow, may be obtained
by application.
Rights for counties, shops or plantations, will be i
sold on reasonable terms. Apply at the Hardware
stores in Augusta, or address

The Grand External Remedy.
SjSM the aid of a microscope, we see millions of
B 5 little openings on the .surface of oiu 4 bodies.
Through these this Ointment, alien rubbed on the
skin, is carried to any organ fir inward part. Dis- I
eases of the Kidneys, disorders of the Liver, affec
tions of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Asth
mas, Coaglis and Colds, are hy it» means effoctu- .
all) cured. Every house-wife knows that salt passes
freely through hone or meat of any thickness. This
healing Oiiitnn nt far more readily penetrates
through am bone or fleshy part of the'living body,
cluing the most dangerous inward complaints, that
cannot he reached by other means.
Er;/BtpeldS, Sitli llhsti/n a/td Soirbutie lluium s.
No remedy has ever done so much for the cute
of diseases ot the Skin, whatever form thev may
assume, as this Ointment. No case of Salt Rheum,
Scurvy, Sore Heads, Scrofula or Erysipelas, can
long withstand its influence. The inventor has
travelled over many parts of the globe, visiting the
principal hospitals, dispensing this Ointment, giy- ,
ing advice as to its application, and has thus been
the means of restoring countless numbers to health.
.Sam L< vs Sort Breasts, Wouwis and Ulcers.
Some of the most scientific Surgeons now rely
solely on the use of this wonderful Ointment, when
having to cope with the worst eases of Sores,
Wounds, Ulcers, Glandular Swellings and Tumors.
Professor Holloway has, by command of the Allied
Governments, dispatched to the hospitals of the :
East, large shipments of this Ointment, to be used
under the direction of the Medical Staff, in the
worst cases of wounds, it will cure any Ulcer,
Glandular Swelling, stillness or contraction of tile
Joints, even of twenty years' standing.
Piles anil. J ’i-ilul'in.
These and other similar distressing complaints
can be effectually cured if the Oinment be well
rubbed over the parts affected, and by otherwise
following the printed directions around each pot.
Both the, Oird/ii-ent and PilU should In’ vied in the
following canes:
Bullions, Burns, Chapped Hands, Chilblains, Fis
