tising favors, for publication the ensuing morning
l-JT Among the gra'nd jury presentments of j
Whitfield county, at April term, we find that the
“road commissioners” are censured foi not at j
tending “more strictly to their duties in having ,
the public roads posted, and finger-boards put up
at the cross roads and forks of roads
If this matter was more generally attended to,
<n other portions of the State, it is very likely the j
people would he well pleased with it.
The telegraph correspondent of the New
Vork Tribune, at Washington, May 19th, says:
“ Senator Sumner's Kansas speech is the most mas
ter! v, striking and scathing production of the ses
sion. The galleries were crowded with intellect,
beauty and fashion, and the ante-rooms were also
thronged. His excoriation of Douglas was scorn- !
fully withering and scorching. He designated
Senator Butler as the Don Quixote of slavery,
and Douglas as its Sancho Panza. Mr. Sumner
never before made such an impression in force,
manner, and emphatic style. He was animated
and glowing throughout, hurling defiance among
the opposition, and bravely denouncing the Kansas
swindle from first to last. Some passages quite
electrified the Chamber, and gave a new concep
tion of the man. Finer effect has rarely been pro
duced.”
We infer that this speech must have appeared
something like a sky-rocket, to the correspondent s
mental vision, and when its corruscations were ex
hausted, the next thing he heard was the fall of
the stir/: which struck Sumner on the head, and no ;
doubt “quite electrified” him, “and gave a new
conception ” to the entertainment.
Mr. Mason, of Virginia, in briefly noticing the
malignant disposition displayed by the Senator
from Massachusetts, said that the necessities of the
political position of Southern Senators brought
them into relations, in that chamber, with men
with whom it would be dishonor to associate else
where. They submitted to that necessity, as it was
imposed by the Constitution ; but it was a burden
hard to bear.
Jjgf" The case of the Administrators of Botkin
*•. the owners of the steamer Franklin, in tho Su
preme Court of Columbus, May term, has resulted
in a verdict in favor of the defendants.
The Columbus Sun says it was an action against
the owners of the steamer Franklin, for recovery
of the value of one hundred and thirty-1 (tree bales of
cotton, shipped on that boat for Apalachicola, in
December, 1853, and accidently burned while in
transitu.
It is understood, we believe, that the case will
be carried up to the Supreme Court.
Tiie main question involved is, the right of com
mon carriers to limit their liabilities.
Z-PT" H is a little remarkable, that the Fillmore
papers urge such serious ob/ertions to, as they say,
the "squatter sovereigntv principle and the right
of aliens to vote" which they find in the Ivansas-
Nebraska act! They willingly offer themselve.-
“like sacrifices in tiieir trim.” They are zealous
for Fillmore, and repudiate the very principle,-
which he approved in the act organizing the Ter
ritory of Washington, on the Sdof March, 1853.
is announced in the telegraph messages,
that a sharp correspondence has taken place be
tween Mr. Crampton and Senator Clayton—and.
perhaps, we shall soon hear that no such corres
pondence lias occurred.

A Specimen of Sumner’s Style.
We have not seen a report of the very offensive
language which Mr. Simner applied to Judge
Bcti.er. when he was reviewing the “remedy ol
folly” as he characterized a prominent measure o!
the Judge's, but the following is the style in which
he assailed Messrs. Douglas and Mason:
Mr. Sumner —The Senator from Illinois, swel
tering in venom, had brought forth statements
utterly" without foundation, heaping upon him
Sumner ■ personalities and obloquy. No person
with the upright form of a man
Here Mr. Stunner paused.
Mr. Douglas—Say it; say it.
Mr. Sumner—l shall sav it. No person with
the upright form of a man can be allowed to dis
charge from his tongue indecent personalities.
Tiie noisome, nameless animal, whose nature it is
to discharge venom is not a proper model for an
American Senator. Will the Senator take notice?
Mr. Douglas—l shall, and certainly shall not
mutate you in that respect. Laughter i.
Mr. Sumner Ah! the Senator again switches
his tongue, and again fills the Senate with offen
sive odur. Then, turning towards Mr. Mason, he
continued I would simply say to the Senator from
Virginia that hard words are 'uot arguments—nor
do scowls belong to Senatorial duty.
Mr. Mason was understood to sav—the Senator
is certainly non compos mentis. (Laughter).
Here the war of words ended. The galleries
were densely crowded.
Philadelphia correspondent of "he Bal
timore Stt?< relates an interesting incident which
occurred at the Merchants’ Hotel, in that city, on
the 19th inst.:
“"Governor Bigler, of California, who went
"o that State in 1949, and has since been Speaker
of its Assembly and twice elected its Chief Exec
utive officer, met for the first time in ten years his
younger brother, \\ m. Bigler, who. since then, has
been the Governor of the Kevst.me State, and is
now a Senator of the United States. California
Bigler reached the shores of the Pacific poor and
friendless, and for a long time lived in a hut
Pennsylvania Bigler was formerly a poor printer’s
boy, and the two. during their separation, in con
sequence of their energy and talents, have beeu
elevated to the highest offices m the gift 0 f the
t>e >ple of two of the greatest States of the Union.
What a noble commentary on our free institutions,
and what an inducement does 'his incident afford
to the poor and friendless but deserviug vouth of
our land. California Bigler is now generally spo
ken of for United States Senator from that State,
and if chosen the two brothers will next meet as
members of the highest deliberative body in the
World.”

Position of Old Line Whigs.
We frequently hear it asked, what will be the
position of Old Line Whigs in the approaching
Presidential campaign? Will they support the
Know Nothing or Democratic candidates? In or
der to give a satisfactory answer to these interroga
tories, it will be necessary to give what we con- |
ceive to have been the positions of the Whig and J
Democratic parties; also, the positions now occu
pied bv the Know Nothing and Democratic par
ties. 1 have always considered the Whig and De
mocratic parties as two great conservative parties, f
both of which had the same object in view, though
they differed —honestly differed—as to the means to
be employed to arrive at that end. The grand de
sign of both these parties was to conduct this glo
rio ts confederacy of States to that point of great
ness, grandeur and glory which the stern decree of
fate hath ordained it shall reach, by the shortest
possible wav—by the way that would insure the
greatest amount of happiness to the greatest num
ber of our citizens. The principles of both of
these parties have been long and ably discussed; j
have stood the test of many a warmly contested
battle field, and neither party had any just ground
of apprehension for the safety of the Union when
the other chanced to be placed in power. This
mutual confidence continued so long as sjucli gal
lant spirits as Henry Olay and Daniel Webster
led the van of the Whig party. And when fight- j
ing under their banners, I was proud of the Whig j
name, and looked upon that party as a host against
whose solid phalanx the furious waves of Aboli- j
(ion fanaticism would dash in vain. But, alas! I
knew not what a day would bring forth. The fu
neral kne’l of these patriot heroes had uot vet
ceased to ring in the distant air, when the plain
tive groauings of expiring Whiggery were distinct
ly heard, adding darkness to the pall of gloom
which already surrounded us, occasioned by the
fall of the two great pillars of our faith. Aboli
lition fanaticism had reared its deformed but tri
umphant head above and upon tin l ruins of north
ern \\ higgerv. Know Nothingisin, like a mighty
avalanche, ha 1 swept over the classic fields of the
South, burying the banners of our once noble par
ty beneath a string of oaths and a pile of plat
forms so deep that nothing short of “Gabriel’s
trumpet” cun resurrect them. Howbeit there arestili ,
a few of this old party who have stood aloof from the
Know Nothing party, who have not as yet united
with any party whatever; their present position is
as novel as it is important—they, in some of the ’
southern States, where the difference of numbers
in the Know Nothing and Democratic parties is
small, hold, so to speak, the keys of tho States j
in their own hands, and have the power to turn '
ihe scale of victory to either of the contending !
parties that they may choose. Hence it is easv to
perceive, that they ought to weigh this matter
well, and first, “know they are right and then go j
ahead.” Since so much depends upon the course j
they pursue in the ensuing campaign. Know Noth
ingism, after rearing itself, as it declares, upon
the ruins of the Whig party, adopted all the here
sies and fanatical notions of ihe northern wing of
that party; uud, in this particular, have out Her
oded Herod himself, and, in addition to having
adopted the Abolition doctrines of the Whig par
ty North, they have to complete the catalogue of
heir iniquity inscribed upon their bannerthe words
‘down with foreigners and Roman Catholics,” in
'etters so large that he who runs may read them.
Tiie bloody scenes enacted during the last sum
mer's campaign, prove conclusively that these were
with them, no idle words, to their eternal shame let
the said. Two of the leading designs of the orig
nators of this party were to harmonize and uuite
die jarring factions of Abolitionism, and, at
he same time, to disorganize and divide the south
ern people. Heretofore the friends of the Cousti
ution had triumphed, firs*, upon the account of
the unanimity and zeal of the southern people,
issisied by the conservative men of the North,
ind secondly, the want of harmony in the ranks
il their opposers, wtiich prevented their acting in
iiiison, and enabled the friends of the Constitu
ion to defeat them in detail. That they have sue
■eeded too well in their first aim, is sufficiently
lemonstrated by the large number of mem
bers of Congress, elected by the northern
vine of this party, all of whom voted uniformly
or Mr. Banks for the Speakership, who is a most
abid Abolitionist, and of the one hundred and
hree votes by which he was elected, nearly one
mndred were either members of or elected by
he votes of that party. Thus they have sueceed
d in uniting the opponents of slavery at the North.
Jut they have only partially succeeded in the de
->gn of dividing the South, as only three soutli
rn States went the Know Nothing ticket in
the last campaign, and these by very small
uajorities, which States I think are heartily
ishauied of their course, and are determined to
vipe oft' the stain with a large Democratic majori
yin November next. Almost ever} - mail brings
he welcome news of another Democratic victory
it the North—of Old Line Whig Conventions at
he South, expressing their determination to be
found lighting in the ranks of the Democracy in
he coming contest. This is the conclusion at
vhich the most of them will arrive, I think, when
t is considered that the Democratic party is the
oily party that has any claims of nationality ; it
icing the only party from which the South re
lives aid on the slavery question, or questions
oncerning the institution of slavery and the
ights of the Southern people, while not a single
Northern Know Nothing, or Republican, can be
induced even to vote for a Southern member of
'ongress for the Speakership. From whence did
ve receive our aid in the passage of the Nebraska-
Nausas bill? From the,Northern Democrats,not one
f whom voted for Mr. Banks for the Speakership,
thus it appears, from unquestionable data, that
he Democratic is the only party that has any just
•laims to nationality. Since nationality must con
sist in “knowing no North, no South’—in posses
• ing a love and veneration for the Constitution, in
iniiely superior to local prejudices—with a dispo
sition to do justice alike to all sections of the
Union, whether North or South, and that party
mist be sectional which uniformly votes against
he interests and just rights of one particular sec
don of this Union, which is exactly the position
■ecupied by the Kuow Nothing party al this time.
Hence, I apprehend there can be but little doubt in
.be mind of any Did Line Whig as to the course
proper for him to pursue in this campaign.
The interest and rights ofthe South arc at stake,
ind it behooves us to stand together as one man,
ind do battle for our rights, for our institutions.
Let us then join ourselves to the Democratic party
—the only National party—and help them to save
he Constitution and preserve the Union—help
hern to drive back the waves of Northern fanati
ism. In uniting with the Democracy, we will do
ess injustice to our principles, as Wings, than we
should have to do in giving our aid to the Know
Nothing party —since Democracy savours more of
A higgerv than Know Nothingism does, besides
the advantages of one living national while the
>ther is sectional. Let us then, I repeat, array
lurselve.s under the Democratic banner, assist that
party in its great and glorious mission of preserv
ing the Constitution, and perpetuating the Union.

The Kansas Debate—Excitement in the
Senate.
Mr. Sumner concluded his speech yesterdav,
having occupied the floor in all nearly six hours.
At iis conclusion, Mr. Cass rose, mid, with his
usual earnestness and emphasis, pronounced it the
most unpatriotic and un-American speech to
which he had ever listened in the Senate. There
was not a man or woman present, whose mind is
not imbued with fanaticism, who did not feel the
justice of the rebuke. No such exhibition of ob
scenity, malignity, abuse, and imbecility has be
fore disgraced the American Senate. Its profuse
intermixture of classic allusions onlv made more
apparent the bad passions which it displayed, be
! cause they showed that Mr. Sumner is a man of
cultivated mind, and therefore is without upologv
for the disgusting language in which he indulged.
He manifested no regard for the feelings of the
majority of the body of which he is a member, but
had the audacity to implicate them in what he
chose to denominate a revolting crime. lie
singled out three Senators bv name, Messrs. But
ter. Mason, and Douglas, and arraigned and abused
them as chief criminals. Towards the President
he was even more abusive than on tho day befoie.
As to it was well said by Mr. Doug
las that it contained none that had not been again
and again advanced by others, and as often refu
ted as advanced. It was not addressed to the rea
sou or judgment, but was a studied appeal to fa
natical and sectional passions, and was evidently
designed to stir up a popular agitation in the
northern Slates, preparatory to the Presidential
election. The rebuke of Gen. Cass was just such
as the speech deserved, and ve rejoice that the
noble old patriot gave such prompt and emphatic
expression to his feelings. Messrs. Douglas and
Mason replied as only thev could reply to such a
speech if it they noticed at all. They held Mr. Sum
tier up to the indignant scorn of the country, ex
pressing deep regret that they were under the ne
cessity of having to recognise such a political as
sociate in the Senate. They repelled his assaults,
uot only ou themselves, but on the body and on
be President, with language that could only be
justified undersuchprovocationashehadgiven. He
rejoined in the same strain of vituperation which
had characterized his entire speech. It will be
imagined that the scene was highly exciting, and
we mus add humiliating, on account of the per
sonalities first resorted to bv Mr. Sumner and re
torted upon him in reply. 'The Senate was crowd
ed t,» overflowing to witness the scene ; and we
venture to assert that none present, except the mad

We Never Yet Have Met!
We never yet have met; the fate
That o’er our lives preside,
Has never brought the wandering mate
Provided for my side.
But still, in lonely pilgrimage,
My anxious footsteps trace
The journey through this cheerful life.
In search of oue fair face.
The thought in dreams will o’er me steal.
That we shall meet ere long,
And each returning day I feel
My hopes cannot be wrong.
Could I but feel worthy to bless,
The partner of my life—
I would renew the strife to guess
Who is to be my wife.
Let not sad fears come o’er me now,
That I shall not be blest.

To a Male Coquette.
“'Tis not the lover which is lost—
The love for which we grieve,
It is the price that they have cost.
The memories which thev leave.”
Go and caress the fair and vain,
Thou inay’st, perchance, a smile obtain,
Yet well I know thou can’st repay,
The flattery of the false and gay.
Through fashion’s giddy mazes dance
Look volumes in a tender glance,
But on thy brow a seal is set,
All know thou art a male coquette !
And can it be that thou wert made
To sport with sunbeams—chase a shade ?
Such pleasures are but fancies drest.
In golden hues to cheat the breast.
Was it for this, and nothing more
Thou st studied all the ancient’s lore ?
W'as it to learn that noble art
Os how to win and crush a heart ?
’Tis strange thy proud and gifted mind
No higher aim for life should find :
I Far worthier deeds await thy name.
Go write it on the shrine of Fame!
I Yet deign to read these lines aright,
Nor think my slighted love in spite.
Has taught my pen a strain like this—
Thy cold contempt would be amiss.
j A heart whose love is deep and strong,
Immoved by scorn—uncliilled by wrong,
Is seldom found on this false earth,
And thou may’st live to learn its worth.
And now farewell! —the charm is o'er,
The syren Hope allures no more,
But round the past still lingers yet,
Sad dreams that I can ne’er forget,

Z-W Worth Knowing.—Professor Wood,
whose advertisement will be found in another col
umn, has discovered a remedy for the gray and
the bald, which is at once practicable and cheap.
It require* no dyeing, no wig, nor extraordinary
trouble. Ibere can I.x; no doubt whatever of its
efficacy. V e have see«i testimonials almost with
j out number, and from men of great intelligence,
j high standing and moral worth.
Those who have been bald for years, are now
, wearing their own hair, and appear ten years
| younger than they did six months ago. As in most
; cases gray hairs and bald beads are both prema
j * ,lre unnatural, it is a duty to remedy them by
I the natural and undoubted means which Professor
j W ood has invented, and now kindly offers to the
afflicted. Read his advertisement, try liis wonder
ful remedy, and give the Professor a new testimo
nial.—if cm phis Whig.

STVeni! Vidi! Vici! The memorable
exclamation of the renowned Roman Conqueror
t might, with the greatest propriety, be uttered by
Dr. Rhodes, for with bis “ Fever and Ague Cure”
1 he has accomplished a greater conquest than ever
- wreathed with laurel crown the brow of Ctesar.
- “ Peace bath her victories, no less renewed than
war,’’ and no greater triumph was ever achieved ;
y by chemical skill than the production of this great i
j remedy for the malarious diseases which afflict our i
r western country.
It is surely a nobler ambition to alleviate the
miseries of the human race by destroying disease,
than to inflict additional suffering by the desolating
scourge of war—and be who saves one life is great
er than he who destroys thousands. The article in
question possesses the peculiar property of com
pletely neutralizing the effects of those poisonous
vapors which induce Fever and Ague, and, by its
y unvarying success, fully establishes its claim to
• the title of a perfect antidote to malaria.
1 It is powerful for good, harmless for evil. One
• trial will commend it to your .approbation.

fT IS an erroneous idea that disease cannot be
cured except by taking large quantities of ined
icines into the stomach, in a great many cases of
which much injury is done, although the disease in
•point be actually ■ ured. The coats of the stomach,
by continued use of nauseating mixtures, frequent
ly become so much disordered that the digestive
function is seriously injured —the result of which
is dyspepsia, nervousness, cholics, alternate dial-- j
rhoea ana costiveness, flatulence, nightmare, etc.,
etc. Would it not, therefore, be very desirable to
possess a remedy, which being applied externally
would excite the absorbents to increased action,
and thus carry off through this medium, the dele
terious principle which is the direcUcause of the
disease? Surely every thinking man will admit
that this would not only be the most pleasant, but
by far the safest mean’s to effect the desired end.
The almost superhuman cures performed by the
Arabian physicians in the days of old, were mainly
effected by this course of treatment, and the ingre
dients of which 11. FARRELL’S CELEBRATED
ARABIAN LINIMENT is composed, are extracted
from rare plants peculiar to Arabia. This great
Liniment (which is now to be had of most respec- i
table druggists and merchants in every town in the !
United States) is daily effecting cures’which seem- ,
ed beyond the power of medicine to control—con
sumption, bronchitis and liver complaints, in their
first stages, nervous affections, indigestion, en
largement of the spleen, scrofulous tumors, goitre,
etc., etc., are frequently cured, and always relieved
by its use. It is unsurpassed as an anodyne—re
lieving severe pains in a few minutes after its ap
plication, it soothes the irritated nerves, and pro
duces that delightful tranquility so grateful to the
nervous invalid. Sprains, bruises, wounds, burns, j
sore throat, chilblains, rheumatism, sun pain, etc., I
etc., are speedily cured by it, and for nearly all ail
ments in horses or cattle, requiring an external
application, it is an effectual remedy.
Lookout for Counterfeits!
The public are cautioned against another coun
terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called
W. 15. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan
i gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having
the name of Farrell, many will buv it in good
i faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex- i
ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error
when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil ;
effects.
The genuine article is manufactured only bv H. '
