It was on this tour that Mr. c-r made a speech at Buffalo, and in that , !, \[uj. I) inelson says Mr. Webster spoke the , •. n> of President Fillmore as well-as of himself. - -quel will inform the reader that Mr. Web i 5 speech was not on railroads, but on slavery :he compromise measures, embracing the fa re slave law, which he had so eloquently sup • i. and which Mr. Fillmore, as President, had - wed. This speech, according to Maj. Donel j was one of a series to be made bv Mr. Web : - to insure the re-election of Mr. Fillmore to : sidency. With these introductory remarks, i nd over the brush to the American candidate the vice presidency, who exhibits his skill as a -trail painter in the following sketch of the j jrncan candidate for the presidency : From the Washington Union, May 29, 1851.

Mi. f ilXirwre sabolition, pixsclicities further exposed, i Put we do not ilespair if an administration ' whose boast it lias been that it was faithful to the ' compromise of the slavery question as a measure of peace and harmony, is no sooner in contact with the people than it acknowledges itself to be actua ted by a seuumeut of deadly hostility to the south cm section of this Union; for what can be more i hostile than the declaration that the slaveholder ! ougnt to be dependent on Abolition juries for his I property and that the admission of slave territory I into the l uited States is a stain upon the memory r ot the great men who committed this great tres pass on the Constitution ? There are sound men i a constitutional majority, we trust, in the North and W est, as well as the South, who will recognise i in these sentiments only the usual fallacies of a ; parti that has never yet been identified with the | national tests of true republicanism, anil cannot, therefore, wield the momentary prejudices which gave it power in such a manner as to perpetuate i that power. Does not every one see that the real effect, if not the design, of President Fillmore's recent visit to the people of New York will be the continued organization of an anti-slavery party, j reconciled to the Compromise only because it ena bles a \\ big administration to familiarize the peo ple to the idea that slavery is a political evil—an evil proscribed by the Whig conscience, limited to its present area, and proper to be assailed hereaf- > ter in all the ways which are possible, short of the violent disruption of the Union ? Mr.t ilbuore responsible for the dangers of disunion. It the public sentiment bad not been misled by such letters as Fillmore wrote to the Abolition so cieties of New York, and by the eloquence of Mr. \\ ebster denouncing, as he admits he did, the in stitution of slavery as a curse and the extension of n| tr territory in the South as a violation of the Constitution, the dangers foreseen by Washington would not now be the subject of humiliating ex planation and apology on the part of the President and his cabinet, and the means by which the M big party hopes to perpetuate its power. Every word of the foregoing ts from the pro lific pen of Andrew Jackson Donelson. It is asin gle article, occupying two columns of the Wash ington Union, of which he was then editor. We give it as a specimen of the opinion entertained by him of the American candidate for the Presi dency. flow it could ever enter the heads of a convention of reasonable men to nominate a tiek t of such discordant and antagonistic materials, will puzzle all who have been deluded with he idea that Know Nothingism has anvregard for principles. One of two things is reduced to a cer tainty—either that Mr. Fillmore is a vervbud man, or that Mr. Donelson has greatly slandered him! and is, therefore, himself as hail us he represents Mr. Fillmore. From the Washington Union, March 5. The American Candidate for Vice' I*resi- dent on Foreigh Immigration. Whilst the American candidate for the Presi dency is sojourning in foreign lands, dancing at tendance upon foreign courts, and showing his i aversion to everything like foreignism, the Ameri can candidate for the A ice Presidency is under the necessity of attending meetings held’to ratify their nominations and to proclaim the doetrines and po j sitions on which the canvass is to he conducted. The New Fork papers of Saturday, March 1, con tain the proceedings of one of these ratification meetings held in that citv on Friday evening. Amongst other speakers at the meeting’ was Major iJonelsun, the Know Nothing nominee for the V’ice l residency. In response to a call, he is represent 'd as having come forward and drawn from his pocket a speech ready for the occasion, which he proceeded to read to the audience. We give this circumstantial account of the pro- : oeedings because it justifies the inference that j the speech is put forth with deliberation, and upon ; full consultation, as the inaugural address of the Know Nothings for the canvass of 1850. We shall save occasion to dissect this document in many of its parts ; and when we shall have exposed its’im- . rnerous perversions of fact, misrepresentations of opinion, and falsification of historical and political ! truth, it cannot then be said that the candidate of i > he Know Nothings for the Vice Presidency was . not authorized to speak for Ins party, or that he , has not been correctly reported m what he said. We begin to-day’ with that portion of Major . Donelson’s speech which enumerates “ the objects "f the American party.” He states them as fol lows: To restore harmony to the various sections of j mr Union—to brighten the links which bind us 1 ! together as sovereign States—to purify the ballot- I box—to cut off the dangers to whicli we are ex : posed by the immigrants to our shores from for eign lands—and to repudiate all the higher-law in- ; lluences, abroad and at home, which have contribu ted to obscure the landmarks cf our old revolu tionary forefathers-—these, gentlemen, are the ob- ' • eels of the American party” We pass over, for the present, with a single rc- ! .nark, the three first “ objects ” enumerated by Major Donelson. The reader will be disposed to j mule at the simplicity of the man who could ex-j pect to impose such transparent demagoguism us , is contained in these three propositions upon the i country as genuine Know Xoihingism. Has Amer icanism contributed “ to restore harmouv to the various sections of our Union ” by combining with fanaticism, and sending to Congress over a liun- j dred Abolitionists? Did it “brighten the links which bind us together as sovereign States,” by 1 declining, m its late Philadelphia Convention, to I proclaim its adherence to the compromises of the i Constitution in regard to the institution of slavery? 1 Did it “purify the ballot-box,” by the resort to I mob violence and all its fatal consequences in va- , ribus elections within the last year? If the past < practice of Americanism in promoting these “ ob- i jects ” of the party is any indication of its future ! course, the country will wisely conclude that we . have had quite enough of this species of American reform. The American candidate for Vice-President next , proceeds to the real objects of Know Xotliingism— opposition to foreign immigration and to Roman 1 < ’atholics. The first of these objects he states to be “to cut off the dangers to which we ure exposed j by the immigrants to our shores from foreign 1 lauds. ' This is Major Donelson’s language on the j 23th of February, 1 >st). He assumes as a fact that | the immigration of foreigners is dangerous. If we j can show, by proof which Know Nothingism can- j not controvert, that there is no such danger, this i plank of the platform must drop out as certainly as I did the twelfth plank, at the bidding of Abolition ism, in the late Convention. To determine this question of facts, we put upon . • ihe stand Major Andrew Jackson Donelson him- < -elf; and if he does net demolish the American , candidate for the A’ice Presidency, and knock the j . bottom out of the American platform, we are no , judge of the force of testimony. It mav'not he recollected, but we have Major Don- j l elson’s word for the fact, that in 1850 the emigra ' tion to this country from abroad had greatly di- } minished. Mr. Fillmore’s organ, the Republic, alluded to this fact as one of the bad consequen ces of Democratic tariff in Mr. Fillmore had not then joined the Know Nothings, neither had Major Donelson. In 1.851 the immigration was : greatlv increased ; and Mr. Fillmore's organ was ’ so struck with it that he described it, in glowing j terms, as one of “iho phenomena of history." . Major Donelson could no: consent to let Mr. Fill more steal Democratic thunder in this war, , and he came down upon t lie Republic and Know; Nothingism after the following smashing style: ! ” Immigration.- The Republic of Wednesday ! contains a long article on immigration to the Uni ! ted States. It portrays in vivid colors the rapid 1 and unparalleled increase of those who arc seek ing our shores. The Irish emigration is so great that the court journal classes it among ‘the phe nomena of history. IFe (Andrew Jackson Donel- r»nt are glad to see this ■ migration from the Old II o-’d. It brings to vs the physical force we wed to fell the porest and. build our improvements. IVe hare yet. an-l will hare Jor mam/ long years, scope and ram/- enough for their industry and enter prise. But it, was riot our intention to discuss this branch of the subject at the present time. The native party is now prostrate, and it will he time enough to commence the discussion when another attempt is made bt the federalists to revive the PRINCIPLES OP THE ALIEN LAWS.” When Major Donelson wrote the foregoing, on the Sist of May, 1851, he was a Democrat and he reflected the opinions of the Democratic party on this subject. Ilis mind had not then become’dD- ’ affected from chagrin and disappointment. He wrote the honest sentiments of his head and heart. He wrote truthfully when he denounced the oppo- I Mtion to foreign immigration as the ofi-shoot of federalism, and as identical in princij le witii the alien laws. But in tlio process of time his mind became dis- j eased, his plans were baffled, his hopes disappoint ed; he became a grumbling, dissatisfied, disap pointed ofli e-seeker, and sought refuge for his , chagrin in the Know Nothing organization. He ceased to be a Democrat; and. for the gratification j of |his feelings, consented to become a champion of the federalism and of the principle of the alien j laws, which he bad so recently and so pointedly denounced. Maj. Donelson bad a right, with or without rea son, to withdraw from the Democratic party, and to identify himself with an organization whose leading doctrine is derived from the federalism which enacted the alien laws. But he had no right to associate with his treachery to his old party the name of Andrew Jackson. When Maj. Donel son assumes, as he does in his speech, that if Gen. Jackson were now living he would be’n participant in the Know Nothing movement, he perpetrates an offence against the memory of his greatest bene factor, which will not fail to excite the indignant rebuke of every Democrat and true friend of Old Hickory in the land. There is no act or sentiment of Gen' Jackson’s life that can give the slightest plausibility to the unfounded and ungrateful as sumption of Maj. Donelson. It is as baseless as the assertion of another speaker at the same meeting that Major Donelaon it “the adopted son” ofGan ' eral Jackson. Who but a renegade that desired | some cover for his abandonment ofhis partv could I have the effrontery to say that General Jackson i was ever capable of entering into a Know Nothing lodge, and there, in midnight secresy, bow his proud head and take an oath to wage a warfare of proscription and intolerance against foreigners and Catholics? Every drop of his own blood was | Irish blood. He was born a few months after i his parents landed from Ireland. His dear brother, I who fought by his side.andfell in the revolutionary ; war, was a foreigner by birth. Does anv sane i man believe that Andrew Jackson, if living’, could ' so far dishonor his own blood and his own family, j as to join in a crusade against Irish emigrants ? j Does any one believe that if Andrew Jackson were 1 living Andrew Jackson Donelson would be found , co-operating with a pur. v which proclaims as one ' of its objects the proscribing of foreign emigrants ? The whole career of General Jackson shows that - his noble nature was incapable of that narrow and contracted and bigoted spirit which controls Know Nothingism. In every public position which he tilled, whether in the military or civil service, he honored, and trusted, and promoted foreign horn citizens. The present Chief Justice ol the Supreme Court was nominated to his position by Gi n. Jackson, w ith a knowledge that he was a Cath olic. In the name of the Democracy of the whole Union, we repel the imputation upon the memory ol Andrew Jackson, implied in the assumption of Maj. Donelson, that, if living, he would favor the Know Nothing movement. Mr. Henry \V. Hiiliard, one of the Know Noth ing Electors, made a speech in Montgomery the other day. He is decidedly the ablest man of the Order in the State, a gentleman for whom we en tertain a very high regard, and we hope to have the pleasure of hearing him and Wm. L. Yancey , together on the stump during the cauvass. In his speech at Montgomery, Mr. Hilliard assailed the , Kansas act as containing the squatter sovereignty doctrine. The Mail, the organ of the Order in the State, notices the speech, and declared, as itaopin : ion, that the Kansas act does not sanction that doc trine, and the Mail supports the Kansas act! So here is a wide difference at the very outset between the State Elector and the State organ! Sound the other Electors, Mr. Mail. When Mr. Hilliard assails the Kansas act, let W. It. Smith, the Know Nothing member from the Tuscaloosa district, who voted for it, replv to him. When Col. Clemens, the other Elector, attacks the hill, let the Order here call upon Gen. Zollicoffer, of Tennessee, to defend the act, for he, too, voted for it, and the Order here believe in Gen. Z., for 'hey circulated his speech last summer by thou sands! He will be able to show that the act does not contain squatterism, and that it repealed the original Wilniot Proviso, and that to oppose the hill is to sanction the constitutionality of the Provi so ! And when Col. Clemens assails and seeks to bring into contempt the Catholics, and to prove that they ought to be excluded from office, let Percy Walker he called upon to defeud them—for he denounces the religious Catholic test of the Order to be a “monstrous” outrage on the rights of citizenship. —Southern Advocate. Railroad Consultation.—For the past few days, ! Col. Stevenson, President of the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad, Maj. Wallace of the East Tennessee and Georgia railroad, and Maj.

A Miscreant Proper! r Punished. —An individ- i j fidual, whose name we have forgotton, nor do we j 'are ever again to remember it, was convicted at I 1 the last term of the Campbell Superior Court for j olacing an obstruction on the Atlanta and La- , I Grange railroad, and sentenced by the Judge to the penitentiary for the full term of eight years. This, we believe, is the first conviction for the aame offence which has yet been made in the State. His Honor was justly severe, and he remarked ! that had the law allowed for his sentencing the j prisoner for eight times eight years, he would un hesitatingly have done ii. Atlanta Intelligencer, March 7 M. Fiourens, a distinguished medical writer, has • recently asserted that a man’s growth generally •eases at the age of twenty years, in consequence of the union of the bones with their epipnvses. This is quite contrary to general experience. It is j true that the stature seldom increases much after twenty years of age, but the entire person, accord ing to common observation, continues to grow un- I :1 1 forty-five or fifty years of age, and often for a j longer period. The growth of the brain, instead i ff terminating at the twenty-first year, generally i continues until about the fiftieth year, nsdetermiii dby careful measurement of its weight. If, then, he life of man were estimated at live times his iverage term of growth, it would considerably ex ceed two hundred years. i Surgery in Illinois.- Mr. Brown, of Big Mud- j 1 !y, had his leg crushed by a log, and had all the | ■doctors of Richmond, Clav nud Jasper, in attend- j ■ tnce. Not a set of surgical instruments could be , ! found— and amputation was imperative. A rusty ' j jutcher knife and butcher’s saw was obtained—the i : knife whetted on a brickbat—the saw, rusty and ■ greasv, was good enough. The incision was made, j ,nd the cut in professional style, the arteries j laken up with a crooked fork, and tied with basting bread from one of the M. D.’s jack us ; the end of the bone was scraped with a ease knife, to get j ; off the grease and rust left by the saw; the flesh j ; .vas turned over the end of the hone, and a cotton 1 : rag stuck on to the wound with shoemakers’ wax. ; Eight inches of common whisky was put into the ' patient before the operation commenced, which j j made him oblivious. This is considered one of j j the greatest triumphs of the science of surgery j j extant, and shows that money expended forinstni- 1 j ments is thrown away. -Gluey Rep.

FARRELL'S CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT. CjINIIE beautiful and fertile region skirting the j ■EI desert of Arabia, abounds with rare plants • and odorous woods, whence are procured those aro- I made gums and balsams of which this Liniment is S composed, and by whose stimulating, unctuous and j penetrating properties it is, when applied, diffused through the whole nervous system, allaying the ' most intense pain in a few minutes. Try it, when j you will be convinced that no preparation possesses ! in so high a degree, its perfect anodyne qualities. 1 Its action is prompt ancl effeclive. It penetrates the Hesli to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, re storing use to limbs paralysed for years, and where the flesh has wasted away, leaving nothing but ! skin and bone, excites a healthy action, causing | new tlcsh to grow out and fill tip the shrivelled i part. It restores the synovial fluid or joint water, ! and this is the reason why it has been so success- j ful iu diseases of the joints. In affections of the i Spine, Liver, Lungs and Kidneys, this great reme dy stands before any other ever produced. For j ague cake or enlargement of the spleen, it is a spe cific. For any internal inflammation, you will find j it gives great relief. It has no equal in the world ; for Rheumatism also, cramps, swelling, numb- 1 ness, weak joints. Spine and Chest, pains, wounds. ! chilblains, burns, sore throat, bites of insects and j reptiles, salt rheum, warts, corns, mange, and in- I deed nearly all diseases which require an internal j application, and many others, are greatly benefitted ; by it. It is used externally with great success in ; goitre, or swlled neck, Scrofula or King’s Evil, J Liver Complaint, nervous diseases, Ac. For Horses ! or Cattle, it is as effectual as in diseases of man. 1 Will cure any case of Sweeney in existence; also, i Spavin, Splint, Ringbone, Big-head, Fistula, Farcy, j Poll Evil, Wtndgalls, Strains, Bruises, Ac. Look out for Counterfeits '. The public are cautioned against another conn- | lerfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called j W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan- i gerous of ail the counterfeits, because his having I the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good ; faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit e.x ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error j when the spurious mixture lias wrought its evil i | effects.
