jfticipation in the determination of a matter in

for answer, “ Real Estate ” says property of

, : it must be successful enterprise and industrv.
: all enterprises, nor every industrial effort are
ssful. What is the result, then ?
appears to me that any school-boy, who can

T ; e .mpkiii-vine and watermelon answer is
. r ti t . r of the same sort, but includes the prepos
. )US idea that “ stable prosperity ’’ is the result
• “iraiching and waiting.” It is said, there was
~ individual who trudged on foot with a wheel
baiTOW and shovel to California, and there made a ;
•oriune. Now, I would enquire, respectfully, of
course, if his success or prosperity was not the re
uj; 0 f enterprise and industry, rather than of
.itching and waiting?" This maxim does well
~igh for those who have their traps set for real
..ate or other property, which the misfortunes of
:-nds and fellow-citizens may unhappily place (
thin the reacli of such means.
With regard to the Canal, which “Real Estate” j
tn consider as affording a knock-down argu
..-a: in favor of his do-nothing policy, I think 1
can safely say, that when it was projected, there
, Vl , not a man in Augusta or Hamburg who could
five stated, within five thousand bales of the truth,
Avmanv bales of Cotton per year came down the

f or that testimony. 1 find it is only since the isa
jTia’i Valley railroad was projected, that a sepa
. .. account of the cotton from the South Carolina
and Georgia shores of the river has been kept; this
mint, and the Canal table of receipts, will show, j
v fair inference, that we have been gradually j
ng a portion of the Carolina trade. Since 1 st'j, i
w>a the receipts per Canal was 26,000 bales, the !
Greenville railroad lias been completed, and as the !
non from the Georgia shore, which is bevond i
lii/ mlluenee of that road, was l+.non bales last i
v .r, it may be fairly assumed that it was 13,000 i
hi A4a— or. in other words, that the product of ;
■non was about equal on each side of the river, j
Xetr," hud that during the last year the cotton j
■ an Carolina was but little more than 0.000 bales, i
,lu- ins to me fair, in the absence offsets to (
iie contrary. that we have lost T.GnO bales of cotton |
'rinug the lasi year, by means of the Greenville |
joviwil. I urn aware that this is not the poiut j
oiad- by “Rv:\t. Estate” in his remarks about j
•v Canal, and present it as a subject worthy of S
.mideration, as having some bearing on the es- i
:ts iik, ly tu be produced hv the Savannah Valley |
ulroad. There are several facts, however, in fa- j
■r of the Canal, which have been overlooked, per- j
ips unintentionally, by “Real Estate.” One oi
keui is, that of the Georgia cotton brought down j
ie river previous to the construction of the Canal, j
least r.,i!00 bales went to Hamburg. Another is, ;
mat the large warehouse at the corner of Jackson i
un i Ellis streets was erected fur the reception of J
:uij Georgia cotton and the Carolina cotton brought I
tl"wn the Canal.
But the faViaev of the position assumed by “Real
Estate” in regard to the Canal, will be perceived ■
by comparing the effects produced by it, with those j
p'roduc dby the South-western plank road, to which j
the city is a heavy contributor, and testing them |
according to his min rule of~-llow much more cot- j

British Enlistment Question.
Tlie correspondence between Lord Clarendon,
Mr. Brent nan, and Mr. Matter, with the letters ot j
.Hr. Cbashtox, in regard tu the British enlistment j
question, have been printed, and are in course ot j
. jblication, in Washington and other papers, j
F. in a perusal of the correspondence, which is j
■ I long fur publication in our columns, we are sat
-iif'J that the British government assumed a pow- j
or exercised an authority in this country in vio- j
i i f the laws of nations. Nor lias England !
l ined for this assumption. The Baltimore Pat j
tsars:
"The apologies professed to have been tendered •
Great Britain, appear to have been made by j
rd Clarendon and accepted bv Mr. Buchanan |
the latter was aware that Mr. Grampian was ;
ipli ated in the charge of violating our neutrality j
- vs, and Mr. Buchanan, from the tenor of subse- j
:-ut advices, wasjthereforecompelled to withdraw j
s expression ot satisfaction at the explanation j
previously made by Lord Clarendon.
Mr Marcy's letter on the dth September noti- |
- d our Minister at London that the international )
aspect of the question had been overlooked by the j
British Government, to which Lord Clarendon re
plied, expressing his regret that his apologetic ex
piations had not proved satisfactory, ana declar
jag that if the agents of the British’ Government
..«•! given any cause for affront to the sovereignty !
of the United States, they had violated their ex- i
press instructions, hut that ho (Lord C. • had no |
reason to believe that such had been the case on j
the part of any one ‘ in the employment of her j
Majesty.’
"In a conversation which subsequently ensued
between Mr. Buchanan and Lord Clarendon, the ;
■liter declared ‘in a sincere and emphatic man- !
ner, that nothing had been further from the inten- j
’ion of the British Government than to violate the j
leturality of the United States or to give them i
ause of offence.’ An explanatory despatch "was :
also sent to Mr. Crampton, to be communicated to j
the Government of the United States, protesting j
•gainst the violation of sovereign territorial rights
Being made a charge seperateaud distinct from j
: hat of a breach of the ‘municipal laws.’ To
this despatch Mr. Mtircv replied, in the long letter
viiich closes the controversy, so far as the papers
nave been made public.”

~ : 4 ” t ‘ !: ® question of the practice of nations in
.natter of enlistments for foreign service, with
which Lord Palmerston alleges the British experi
ment to have been iu harmony, Mr. Marcv does
not address himself. Vet he might have floored
his antagonist on tins point as completely as he
has on the others. To go no further back than
the present war, we find the judicial decisions bv
the courts all over Germany, and the police regu
lations of Prussia, Hanover and other Continental
Governments, flatly contradicting Lord Clarendon’s
position. The praclice of enlisting men, either
directly or indirectly, lias not been permitted
the British Consul at Cologne was not long since
condemned to imprisonment bv the Court of Police
for his efforts to procure recruits to go to the
Island of Heligoland, there to enlist in the British
army. Heligoland was used as a depot for enlist
ments in Germany, as Halifax was here. The
Hanseatic Towns put a stop to like proceedings
by similar means. Even the Hanoverian Goveru
ment, whose Ring is a relative of Queen Victoria,
prohibited all such action in the wav of recruiting
as is defended by Lord Clarendon.' Mr. Marcy’s
doctrine is thus fully sustained by the usage* of
European Courts and Governments upon the point
in question.
In line, Lord Clarendon’s dispatches are lame
every way, and he makes out no case against the
American positions. Nothing can be clearer than
that these positions are wholly incontrovertible.
The matter standing thus, us against the English
Cabinet, the ground is properly taken that an
atonement is due. It is not sufficient that the il
legal proceedings are suspended, after repeated
protests on our part; voluminous correspondence
and legal proceedings against parties implicated
have compelled it. Reparation is demanded. The
British Government is asked to withdraw the of
fending parties as a homage to violated law and
national sovereignty. This concession is declined
on tiie ground that the cessation of the offense
should be deemed sufficient. Our Government
says no, and adds that if the delinquents are not
re-called they must be dismissed. That will be
the upshot of tiie matter. All the talk of the
London l inen about England having] apologized,
and that she cannot and will not do more, and that
this ought to be satisfactory, and that if it is not,
she will go to war before she will descend to hu
miliation at our bidding, is mere moonshine. Eng
land has dune nothing except to desist from palpa
ble violations of our sovereignty and our laws. It
is this which the London Tones sets up as an ac
knowledgement, a reparation, an apology. This
is simply absurd. It is, perhaps, natural that the
Tones should consider it a vast condescension on
the part of the English Government to cease ag
gressions upon another power simply because they
are objected to. We confess it is something of a
stretch toward decent behavior, but we cannot 1
altogether regard it as the Times would have us,
as a most honorable and complete reparation of ii
gross wrong and flagrant insult.
From the Patriot and Mountaineer.
Columbia, American Hotel, \
February 20, 185(>. j
To the Editor» of the Patriot and Mountaineer :
(Tenth-men : [ came here yesterday under a sum
mons to attend an occasional meeting of the Board
of Trustees of the South Carolina College, to sup
ply the place of Ur. llenry.
| Before reaching here, I met the account of the j
fearful “tinufe” of the preceding night. It was, as
•s to be expected, very much magnified in the ru
mor. It seems that three of the students, who j
were out of the College walls, met with the guard
as they were about turning out. One of the stu
dents was, unfortunately, very much intoxicated. ;
He, having some pique against one of the guard
men, separated from his companions, anil approach
ed the guardman and struck him; he instantly,
with his stick, struck and knocked the young man
down, who lay for some minutes; hut on being
raised up, made some further demonstrations of
resistance, and thereupon, was taken to the guard
house. The students, who were with him, return
ned to the College with the usual cry, “The Od- ,
lege.” All the students turned out for the rescue, ■
and proceeded to the guard house, and, by force, i
took the young man out, broke the windows anti
injured the door. They bore their prize off to Col- i
lege. The President remained, and was talking 1
with the guardman who had been struck, and who j
knocked the student down, ascertaining from him !
the facts, when two of the students forced them- j
selves in, and commenced an attack on the guard
man, striking him, and he retaliating very severely |
ott them. They were probably struck, too. by
others of the guard. They were forced out of the !
guard house. By this time, the students had again
assembled. The President and Mayor were una- i
hie to quell the riot; the alarm bell was rung, and '
the citizens called up out of their beds to witness
and suppress, if necessary, the action of the stu- j
dents. At length, they returned to the College.
The President, next morning, by the consent of
the Mayor, proposed to' submit the whole ;
matter to the arbitrament of twelve named
gentlemen. To this the young men acce 1
ded at one time; but the two young men, en- 1
gaged ta the affair the preceding night, j
finally prevailed on a majority to reject this propo- !
sitiou lor peace and good order. It is stated that j '
they had agreed to seek and obtain satisfaction ,
out of the guardman; they left the College with- '
out the knowledge of the students, and were seen, \
with their cloaks around them, approaching the i
guardman, who was speaking on the subject of ,
withdrawing from the guard, as he regarded his
life in danger. As soon as the young men were
near enough, they dropped their cloaks, and both
struck the guardman me with an iron and the *
other with a wooden bludgeon. He fell to his ■
knees, but rose and struck with his stick, and otli ,
ers assisting him heat the young men very severe- :
ly. The guardman’s left band is, as 1 am told, 11
broken by the blows ; and he and the two young j
men are under the care of physicians, from the ;
injuries which they respectively received. The ,
cry of “College” was borne by a single student to ,
the campus. The young men, with their accus- ; I
turned devotion to their brothers in distress, were 1
soon in the field. The alarm bell was again rung; , t
the citizens were turned out and, as the posee com- l '
iteitue, were paraded under arms. The boys re- i!
turned to College, forced the room where the rifles !
of this College Company were kept, possessed
themselves of them, and returned to the field of
action. The scene thus presented was such as Co
lumbia never before saw, and which, I hope, she 1
never will again see. Two hundred arm- ■, 1
ed citizens, with guns loaded with hall cartridges, j 1
opposed to more than a hundred enraged voung j 1
men, with rifles in their hands. The order to take j
aim was given, and a fire might have followed, had '
not Col. Goodwin, and others thrown themselves \
between and called on the citizens not to fire. Af
ter much persuation by Ur. Tliornwell, Laßorde,
Lieber, and others] of the Faculty, the students
were induced to return to College.
Las; night we went to the College in the dis
charge of our duty—everything was quiet. I did
not hear even a “whoop,” which is very unusual.
To-day was equally quiet; and I have been assured j
bv the young men that there would he no further i
| outbreak on their part. To-day, on the requisition j
; of the Board, the rifles were deposited in the room |
: where they were formerly kept. The Governor,
i under the direction of the Board, will take the i
j arms and place them in the Arsenal. The musters
j of the College Company are directed to be siis
i pended, and the propriety of suppressing and dis
; banding the College Company is referred to a C’oni
i inittee, to report next May.
This statement, gathered from the best sources
! in my power, places the facts before you. The un
! fortunate violence of the guardman in knocking
down a student who, when drunk, struck him, is
the cause of tins affair, which may so much injure
the College.
The fact of drunkenness among the students
show s to the Legislature the necessity of removing
this fearful curse of mischief from the town of Co
i lumbia.
Tlie occasional meeting of the Board had no
i power to do more than they did. A great duty
will devolve on the Board at the stated meeting in
1 May, to examine into the College, both as to its in
! ternal and external government, and full and ade
j quate justice must be done to the Facultv, the stu
; dints and the State. Mr. Rivers, of Charleston,
t Wlls elected to fill Ur. Henry’s chair until the stated
meeting in May. Your friend,

A Lesson for Landlords. —ln Bleeeker street,
in the close proximity to the aristocratic region of j
Carrol and Depau places, stands a huge five story 1
mansion, erected in a style of superior costliness, 1
and evidently intended as a residence for the noble i
great. Over the door of this magnificent mansion '
is placed a sign inscribed with an enigmatic in- j
j scription : “Ilall for Colored People,” a designa- I
S tion which gives an air of wonderful mystery to i
I this place of brick, mortar, stone and marble; |
j which might be deemed at first glance, a residence :
i worthy of George Law, or the spirit of the depart
! ed John Jacob Astor.
The mystery, however, is easy of solution. This |
j magnificent domicil has lately been rented for a j
I private hotel, the proprietor of which failing in
rendering the speculation profitable, the owner of
• the property fell back upon his surety for the ren
tal, which has some years to run. The surety,
finding himself embarrassed by this act of kind
: ness, offered the landlord some five hundred dol
. iars to release him and take the property ott his
hands. But the landlord was inexorable, and con
i sequently ihe surety took possession of the prem
ises, converted them into a tenant house for
I “colored people,” and filled its marbled halls and
frescoed chambers with the elite of the fashiona
ble world of Church street and West Broadway.
i | Our readers can imagine the excitement conse
i quent upon this stroke of revenge among the tre
i bly-dyed aristocracy, of that district, who may be
, : esteemed (lie blossoms of japonicadom. Unless
l the model hotel garni be destroyed, property in the
neighborhood will be lessened more than half its
e j actual \alue, as a majority of the mansions in that
e region are occupied as fashionable boarding houses,
i j the daintv nerves of whose tenantry must suffer
immensely from a forced contrast with the gen
i j try of this “Uncle Tom’s Palace.”

Public Meeting of Merchants and Bu*i>
ness Men at the Exchange.
Pursuant to notice a large meeting of the mer
j chants and business men of the city assembled in
the rotunda of the Exchange at one o’clock yester
day afternoon, to express their disapprobation of
the course of Francis P. Blair at the Republican
I (Freesoil) National Convention at Pittsburg.where
lie assumed to represent the views of a large por
! tion ot the merchants and business men of Balti
! more on the slavery question, as the delegate of
j a hitherto unknown Republican Association in
j this city.
Dr. J. Hanson Thomas called the meeting to
order, and nominated the following gentlemen as
i officers of the meeting, who were chosen bv ae
| clamation:
Pres'ulent —John C. I ru ie.
Vice Presidents —George Brown, C. C. Jamison,
j W. T. Young, John B. Morris, D. S. Wil
son, Thomas Whitridge, William Woodville,
William McKim, John S. Gittings, Thomas
Swann, G. S. Oldfield, Robert Garrett, Win.

Secretaries —P. H. Sullivan, B. F. Newcomber,
William Wilson, Jr., G. U. Porter.
“ Fellow-merchants, business men, and citizens
: generally: At a political Convention recently as
\ sembled at Pittsburg, composed of those who style
themselves the Republican party, the President of
that Convention assumed to represent the ‘mer
chants and men of wealth and business of Balti
more.’ As President of the Board of Trade of
Baltimore, a memorial, not numerouslv but most
respectably signed—the prompt action desired hav
‘ ing prevented its most extensive circulation—was
presented to me, recommending the cull of a meet
ing of the business men of the city to afford uu
opportunity to publicly deny that that gentleman
had any authority to speak for the merchants of
Baltimore, and to declare that they have no sympa
thy with tlie fanatical Abolition and Freesoil doc- j
n ines proclaimed by that Convention. The cull
for this meeting was consequently made, and the
! large und influential body of citizens here assem
bled evinces the feeling entertained by the wliolo
community on the subject. The city of Baltimore
and the State of Maryland have always been true
; to the Union and to the South, entertaining a cour
teous respect for the rights and privileges of all
sections of our common country. No people could
be found who were more ardently attached to the j
Union ; and Maryland being one of the first to join
in that Union, would be one of the last to go out of it.
This meeting was called for an expression of the
indignation of the merchants and businessmen of
Baltimore at the assumption of tlie President of
the Pittsburg Convention, in claiming to represent
them without the shadow of authority, and in con
nection with doctrines with which they have ne
sympathy. We are, therefore, assembled for ac
tion, and not for speaking, though I will take the
occasion to say that I feel honored by the prefer
ence shown me in calling tne to the chair, as also
for many like honors from my fellow-merchants.
1 have my individual views on the subject, for the
consideration of which we have assembled ; but
as I appear here rather in a public than a pri
'• ate character, I will not detain the meeting, know
ing that it is prepared to deal with the subject in
such manner us the gross misrepresentation of
their views and the principal deserves.”
Mr. B. was several times interrupted by the ap
plause of the large assemblage, which crowded j
the rotundo to its utmost capacity.
Mr. Thomas Williams then proposed that a com- j
mittee of six be appointed by the Chair to draw
up and present resolutions expressive of the sense
ot the meeting, which was adopted, and the follow
ing gentlemen appointed: John Williams, Wil
liam McKim, Horatio L. Whitridge, Thomas W.
Levering, Dr. J. Hansom Thomas, and J. Hall j
Pleasants.
The committee retired, and after a short absence !
returned and reported tlie following preamble and 1
resolutions, which were read by the chairman, and i
adopted unanimously :
I Vhereas, We, the merchants, traders and busi
ness men generally, of the city of Baltimore, in ,
public meeting assembled at our Exchange, having
teamed through the public prints, that the Presi
dent of a political convention, styling itself “the
Republican Convention,” held recently at Pitts
burg, announced that he represented “the mer
chants of wealth and standing in Baltimore,” and
! 1 'herear, This meeting comprises members of
all political parties recognised in this city and State,
and whereas, we desire to vindicate our commer
cial and industrial classes from the imputation of
tendencies either “Abolition” or “Freesoil;”
lie it therefore Resolved, That we, the merchants,
traders, business men, of the city of Baltimore,
take this, the earliest opportunity, indignantly to
disavow having conferred authority in any one to
represent us in said convention, and to do dare that
we have no sympathy with it or its principles.
Resolved, That the State of Maryland and the
city of Baltimore hold the strongest attachment to
the Union and the Constitution of the United
States—among the very first to adopt, Maryland
will be one of the last to abandon, these sacred
t ies.
Resolved, That we have that affection for the
State of Maryland, its honor and its institutions,
that we shaft ever cling to and preserve them,
without spot or blemish, as they have been be
queathed to us.
Resolved, That whilst our loyalty to the South can
not be doubted, wo, the merchants of the city of
Baltimore gladly avail of this occasion to declare
our aflinities with our friends in all sections of the
country in the reprobation of ul! unnecessary and
hurtful political agitation.
Resolved, That these proceedings, signed by the
President and Secretaries, be published in the "daily
papers of this city, with the request that their ex
changes copy.
After the adoption of the resolutions, Mr. Brune
stated that there was no more business before the
meeting, and us they were business men, a motion
to adjourn would be entertained. A motion to
that effect was made, and the meeting adjourned.
After the adjournment, several persons called for
Francis S. Corkran, whose name had been con
nected with the course of Mr. Blair, at Pittsburg,
and who was known to be present. To this call,
cries of “put him out!” went up from the crowd,
and a rush wois made for the centre of the rotunda,
where he was standing. The crowd continued to
press, and Mr. Corkran was forced out of the south
door through the hall and into Exchange Place.
The movement was one rather of good humor thau
violence, with a desire to see the President of the un
known “Baltimore Republican Association,” who
had forwarded to Mr. Blair his credentials. No
violence, either of language oi treatment, was
shown towards him—he was merely hurried out.
From the Pennsylvanian.
Donelson Slandering the Dead.
The proceedings of the Know' Nothing Conven
tion, as recorded in Tuesday’s Inquirtr , present
some remarkable statements. The nominee for
the Vice Presidency, tinder first impulses, said
“that he left the Democratic party;” but at the
suggestion of an old Whig, who did not wish the
candidate to avow that position, corrected him, and
induced him to adopt the language of his promp
ter, “that the Democratic party had left him.”
He was then asked by Andrew Stewart ever an
opponent and reviler of “ Old Hickory”—where
would Gen. Jackson be, if alive, in the present
contest?” The reply of Donelson, of course, was,
“ With the American (Know Nothing) party! ! ! ”
A base slander. But the assertion of General
McCall, that Major Donelson had been the adviser
of General Jackson during his administration,
calls for explanation. If lie means thereby, that
any of the measures which distinguished the ad
ministration of an old patriot, hero and states- I
man were proposed by Donelson, we must be al- '
lowed to deny the statement; because the only
case publicly known, in which he dared to inter
fere with the General’s judgment and action, is
recorded by John C. Rives, Esq., as follows :
The message of President Jackson, which re
ferred to the French Indemnity, was softened in
its language bv Donelson and others, who wanted
the nerve and judgment of the President. Mr.
Rives brought it back in print, and it was read to
the General. “Stop, Donelson, said Jackson, “that
is not as I put it; how is this?” “Why, General,”
replied Donelson, in great confusion, “the Cabi
net had a meeting, and thought the language was
a little too strong, and they concluded to soften it
a little.” “I dont care for the Cabinet,” rejoined
the President; “this is my message not. (heir’s
and turning to Mr. Rives, observed “Please re
store the original language.” This was done, and
the event justified the sagacity of the old states
man. France paid the money. The war that was
to he, ended in smoke.
I This incident shows what reliance Gen. Jackson
! placed upon Donelson’s advice, and how far he was
accustomed to follow it. As to the General being
in the Know Nothing ranks, if alive, there is not a
true friend of his, in the United States, that be
lieves the foul slander.

Washington, Feb. 28. —In the case of Capt.
Ritchie, the Court Martial, lately held in Philadel
phia, found that he used the language towards
(.’apt. DuPont, and sentenced him to a reprimand
by the Secretary of the Navv. But the Secretary,
in a letter to Capt. Ritchie, disapproves of the find
ing of the Court. So the sentence is rendered null.

the Order, was contradicted by the President of
Council 171, of Buffalo, who gave the obligation as
surance that lie himself was present when the of
each of the degrees was administered to Mr. Fill
more; and that lie is a member of the Order in goi*i
standing. Great enthusiasm prevails, and the pro
ceedings have been very harmonious.

Washington, Feb. 28.— Senate.— Mr. Weller re
ported a lull making appropriations for certain
new fortifications. Mr. Sumner submitted a reso
lution directing the Committee on Foreign Rela
tions to consider the expediency of some act of
legislation, having the concurrence of both houses
of Congress, by which the treaty with Denmark
regulating the payment of Sound’dues may be ef
fectively abrogated ; and gave notice that lie would
call it up to-morrow. A message from the Presi
dent on the subject of British recruiting in the
United States, was received and ordered to bo
printed. Mr. Mason submitted a resolution calling
for information in relation to a proposed arbitration
of the questions of difference between this govern
ment and that of Great Britain; which was adopted.
Mr. Hale and Mr. Toombs discussed the state of
affairs in Kansas; the former assailing, and the
latter sustaining, the course of the administration.
The vindication of the late message and proclama
tion of the President by Mr. Toombs was full, elo
quent, and triumphant." His powerful defence of j
the northern men, charged bv Mr. Hale with hav- j
ing been bought by the South, was marked by a j
response from the galleries which came near cans- i
ing them to bo cleared. Mr. Butler gave notice of
his intention to say something on the same topic ; |
when the further consideration of the subject was !
postponed until Wednesday next; and the Senate j

The Philadelphia American Convention
This body, before its adjournment, nominated
Mr. Fillmore for President, and Donelson, of Ten
nessee, for Vice-President. I'util we are permit
ted to read tlie history of the Convention’s pro
ceedingsain full and know exactly the position it
occupied on the slavery question, we shall refrain
from any expression of opiniou in reference to its
nominees. That its action nail be considered at
all binding upon Southern Americans, we do not
for a moment suppose. We greatly admire Mr.
Fillmore, and would cheerfully support him for
the Presidency ; but it must be as the nominee of j
a less exceptionable Convention than the one that ■
has thus prematurely thrust his name before the !
country. Thank (Jod, we can be true to American i
principles without identifying ourselves with the 1
acts of fanaticsj and madmen. If all parties [at !
the North are so wedded to their anti-slavery pre j
indices that they will not exclude them from na
tional politics, let them abide the consequences. !
The South is an integral of the Union, and no j
man can he true to the one while trenching upon \
the rights of the other. Our faith in men may be j
shaken by the acts of the Philadelphia Convention,
but our .American principles are firm as the rock of
(iibralter! We shall “wait for the wagon.”

A Warning. —We can add nothing, in the |
way of warning, to the following which we I
tint! in a late number of the Philadelphia Argus: j
The downward course of Mr. Wilmot, as a poli- |
tician, should he a warning to all who consult ex- !
pedienev instead of principle. Ten years ago, he I
was the most promising and formidable man of j
his age in the Democratic party in Pennsylvania, j
Since then he has boxed the compass until we j
now find him a Know Nothing Abolitionist, play- j
ing second fiddle to the very men he formerly des- j
pised. The Montrose Democrat, for several months, i
paid considerable attention to Mr. Wilmot’s polit- |
ical| tnanoeuvering, and proved very conclusively
that he was not governed by honest impulses in
his various political dodges. To this Mr. Wilmot i
took exceptions, and appealed to a grand jury for i
damages, asking the snug sum of ten thousand
dollars; hut we observe that the grand jury ig
nored his bill, thus leaving him to reflect, at his
leisure, on the folly of a political mountebank
prosecuting an independent editor for publishing
(he honest truth.
