the rise in the river up to dark last night, was

New Year Parly.
The pupils of the Dancing Academy of Profes
sors Dubsberhy ifc Gans, will celebrate New Years’
day, by a party at Masonic Hall, on Monday next.
The entertainment which will, without doubt, be
a most agreeable one—being under the immediate
superintendence of Prof. Duesbkrry—will com
mence at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, aud continue,
probably, until 10 or 11 o’clock, P. M. The chil
k dren, we suppose, will be allowed to enjoy them
selves during the afternoon ; while the evening
will be given to the ladies and gentlemen present
tj join iu the “giddy mazes of the dance.”
The supper, we arc informed, is to be got up in
» -■BLioo‘l If. ami at no litile expense. The tickets
• • mfor the parly are to be sold at one dollar each, and
it is to be hoped that a liberal patronage will be
extended to our young friends on this interesting
occasion. We certainly wish them ami their
guests success, and much pleasure with their
party.
Handsome Kind mg.
Some sspecimeus of book binding have been
shown to us recently, which, for durability, aud
neatness of execution, will compare favorably w ith
work of the kind done anywhere. ThesS speci
mens consist of volumes of Shakspeare's works,
bound in leather, ledger style, heavy and durable,
and the ornamental work done very ueaily aud
handsomely. They are from the VhrenicU <ۥ Sen
tinel Book Biudery, and from the hands of Mr. P.
R. Rose, to whom the credit is due, and fully de
served. Our city readers may see these volumes
at the store of Messrs. Plumb A Leitnkr, for a few
days.
There is no necessity of sending work of this
* kind abroad, when we have such competent work
men as Mr. Rose in our own city, and win n it can
be done as neatly, as cheaply, and as durably, as
anywhere.
New Year Party.
We acknowledge the receipt of invitations to the
New Year’s party to be given by the pupils of

“Mr. Douglas and the South. ’»
Washington, D. C., Dec. 25, 1859.
Editor Constitutionalist : Iu your paper of the
21st instant, I notice a communication, under the
above head, in which great injustice is done the
friends of Judge Douglas, and Judge Douglas
himself. I am astonished at this, because the
proceedings of the House will show that the
“ Douglas Democrats” have been the most uncom
promising opponents of the Republican party, in
that body. In caucus, and in the House, they
have stood boldly and uncompromisingly as Demo
crats, worthy of the name; and that, too, iiuder
circumstances that would have Iried the courage
of almost any man. Let “Interior” look to the
record, and he w ill find the name of every “ Doug
las Democrat” recorded in favor of the Hon. Thos.
S. Bocock for Speaker. Let him look at the de
bates, and he will lino them occupying a position
as Democrats worthy of imitation by many men
in our section of the Republic. Instead of declar
•ng, as too many have done, that if this or that
man was nominated they would not support him
like true Democrats, they declare their confidence
in the Democratic party, and pledge their uncon
ditional support of the nominee of the Charleston
convention. Does “Interior” occupy a like posi
tion? Iu the debate iu the House yesterday, Mr.
Fouke, of Illinois, said, “He would"say, once for
all, to the Democrats North and South, that Ste
phen A. Douglas would support the nominee of
the Charleston convention, whoever he might be.”
When asked by a Black Republican, from the same
State, “ Would he support him on any platform?”
he replied, “ He w’ould support him against a Re
publican.” Can the people want any better l);tno
crats than these “ Douglas Democrats ” have
•roved themselves to be? And if so, where are
they to be found ?
If the communication of “Interior” has anv ob
ject, it is to prove that “the tendency of Douglas
ism” is to gravitate towards a party whose basis is
avowed hostility” to the institutions of the South.
In this “Interior” does injustice to Judge Douglas.
Was there anything in the desperate contest in Il
linois that looked|hke “gravitating” towards Re
publicanism ? His whole political life has been
one of continued war against the enemies of the
South. From the hustings, before an “Abolition
mob.” threatening his life—a mob flatbed by the
enraged brutality of enraged fugitives, armed, ex
cited—he boldly proclaimed the constitutional
rights of the South to have these very slaves re
turned. Every where—in the North, in the South—
has he declared that southern property has as
much the right of constitutional protection in the
Territories, as northern property; and that the de
crees of the courts, interpreting the Constitution
irom northern and southern men alike, own a pro
tection from the President himself, which that of
ficer himself would be a traitor not to furnish. Is
it the “tendency” of such sentiments to “gravi
tate towards” Black Republicanism?
The bold and fearless defender of Andrew Jack
son stands to day, w here he stood when he deliver
ed his memorable speech in defence of that good
“old Democrat,” a Jackson Democrat, and neither
the revilings or persecutions of his eueuiies cun
drive him from his position. Why, Mr. Editor,
instead of the “tendency of Douglasism” being “to
gravitate” towards the enemies of the South and
its institutions, Ihere is no man in the country
whom they hate and fear as they do Stephen A.
Douglas. Yours truly,
A Southern Rights Democrat.
. From the Philadelphia Bulletin, Dec. 22.
Departure of the Medical Students.
About two hundred seceding medical students
left the city for the South by the eleven o’clock
train last night. They were escorted off bv a num
ber of their class-mates, who cheered them lustily
as the train moved off from the depot at Broad
and Prime streets. The escort made considerable
noise as they returned to the city after the depar
ture of the tram. We learn that the great majori
ty of the secedeis have taken the responsibility of
leaving their schools without consulting their pa
rents or guardians.
The following are the preamble and resolutions
adopter, -t the student’s meeting, held at the As
sembly building on Tuesday morning :
Resoloed, That a committee of five be appointed
to wait upon Drs. P. C. Luckett, Hunter and Mc-
Guire, to request their presence at this meeting ;
and that these gentlemen, who, we believe, will
freely, cheerfully and fearlessly devote their efforts
to bring about a proper state of feeling among
;-outhern students, and will sacrifice every pecuni
ary interest and bright prospects'of professional
preferment, be requested thus to announce pub
licly their position, and accompany us to our
southern institutions.
The persons named above were introduced, and
made speeches approving of the course proposed
to be pursued, and consenting to accompany them.
The following preamble and resolutions were
then read and approved :
Whereas, We have left our homes aud congrega
ted m this city, with a view to prosecute our medi
cal studies, and having become fully convinced
that we have erred in taking this step; that our
means should have been expended, and our protec
tion afforded to the maintenance and advancement
of institutions existing in our own sections and
fostered by our own people.
Resolved, That in a body, or as many as ap
(>rove of the act, secede from the institutions in
which we have severally matriculated, return to
the .South, and herein pledge ourselves to devote
our future lives and best efforts to the protection
of our common rights and the promotion of our
common interests.
Resolved, That in taking this step vve dis
claim sny personal animosities, and deprecate any
political agitation.
Resolved, That we tender our grateful acknowl
edgments and heartfelt thanks to the Hon. Henry
A. Wise, Governor of Virginia; Dr. L. S. Joynes,
Dean of ihe Virginia Medical College, at Richmond;
Henry R. Frost, Deau of the Medical Department
of the University of South Carolina; to President
Robinson, of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore railroad, and all others who have ex
tended to us the substantial encouragement and
aid so essential to the furtherance and successful
accomplishment of our enterprise.
Resolved, That we extend u cordial invitation,
and will cheerfully welcome in the South any
northern student who will subscribe to the previ
ous resolutions.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to all northern Medical Colleges, for the ben
efit of southern students who may have matriculat
ed in them.
Resolved, That the southern papers generally be
requested to publish the proceedings of this con
vention.

Colton Talk.
The New Orleans Crescent is alway loquac'ous about the
cotton business. In its issue of the 24th December, it has
something to say ab >ut the detention of cotton at the presses
).n that city. We extract a portion of it.
Buyers and shippers of cotton cannot make out whv there
are so many complaints. * * Large operaiors in exchange.
• based on documents, are adopting new regulations—-requiring
security and guarantee that the cotton will he on shipboard
* win in a reasonable time. * * Aidfhe talk is. that
l many shipmasters are decidedly offish about signing bills of
lading for cotton snugly stored or piled up in warehouses or
i In presses. * * Are the many hundred bales stowed up,
piled up. ten lier Ligli ou the streets, side-walk* and vacant
tots, eonsidi red as le-tag in warehouse or under cover of the
sheds of the several presses? Does a tar; aulin, or a h«lf
_ dozen tarpaulins, embrace all the requisites of a warehouse?
The general talk appears to be that there is a great deficiency
if in warehouse room for the cotton storage, notwithstanding
there has been an increase for the last ten years. Unless the
I. staple is moved otf with more rapidity, we shall have a larger
stock on hand than ever before which will create some talk
among underwriters. The risks now are very large, and some
1 * of the local offioeahaveto reinsure with the ageneie of foreign
offices. * * it is plainly manifest that our local oi
L ‘ home companies—though we have twelve—have full as many
#- risks as prudence and safety require, or rather the majority o
tn. m baye The value of cotton alone now uuder insurant
le fuily twenty-fcve millions of dollars against fire alone.

Congressional.
Washington, Dec. 30.—There was nothing of
importance done in the Senate to-day. That body
adjourned until Tuesday.
in the House, Mr. Boyce, of South Carolina,
made a speech in which he alluded to the daugers
of Black Republicanism, and in support of the
South.
Mr. Hickman, of Pennsylvania, endeavored to
get the question taken on the plurality rule.
Mr. Clark, of Missouri, wished to obtain a vote
on the anti-lIELPER resolution, but did not suc
ceed.
There was no ballot for Speaker to-day.
The House udjourned until Tuesday, by a ma
jority of two votes.
Representative Difficulty.
Washington, Dec. 30. —Yesterday, during the
debate in the House, Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania,
applied the word “ ungeutlemanly” to Mr. Branch,
of North Carolina. The latter requested a retrac
tion of the epithet, which was refused. It was
supposed that the affair would be settled by the
friends of the parties, but it is now understood
that a direct challenge has been passed.
The Tehuantepec Route. .
Walhington, Dec. 30,1859. —The negotiation of
the treaty with the Liberal Government of Mexico
has revived the hopes and enterprises of various
parties who have heretofore initiated measures for
the construction of railroads across Mexican terri
tory, in order to effect a more speedy and reliable
communication with the Pacific coast.
The Tehuantepec route was a favorite with the
Polk, and the succeeding administrations; for,
while it would secure the important objects con
templated, it was regarded as a basis of accommo
dation to the interests of all sections of our coun
try.
The President, iu his instructions to Mr. McLane,
was particular in providing for the protection of
the rights and immunities of all the citizens of the
United States, without regard to any individual
schemes or enterprises whatever, in connection
with the transit privileges thus far secured. But,
at the same time, the present government, wishing
to be faithful to its obligations, will doubtless re
spect its existing contract with the Louisiana com
pany, the operations of which, on the Isthmus,
were, it is known, suspended several months ago,
owing to pecuniary embarrassments.
Both Governments guarantee the neutrality of the
transit routes, and will protect them, if necessary,
by military force ; but this protection cannot he
claimed or expected, unless the railroad company
transport troops, munitions of war, aud military
supplies of either Government at half the rates
charged M other parties or private individuals.
This appears to be the condition of the protection,
as stipulated in the treaty.
There cannot be a doubt that our Government
will take, if it has uot already taken measures to
encourage the re-opening of the Tehauutepec
route, and that Mr. McLane, before he left the
United States for Mexico, understood fully the
views of the Administration on this subject.
Gentlemen interested in the Tehauntepec route
confidently say that it will be re-opened under
more favorable auspices than heretofore. The
company for that purpose is to be re-organised, and
a more efficient management secured. It is esti
mated that eight millions will be sufficientto con
struct the road, although it has been proposed to
make the capital twenty millions.
Mr. La Sere, connected with the Louisiana com
pany, stands in high favor with the Liberal Gov
ernment of Mexico. He was a true and firm friend
in other days to both Juarez and Ocampo; and
more recently, when the Reactionists threatened
Vera Cruz, he placed a steamer, belonging to his
company, at the disposal of the Liberal Govern
ment, which it used with advantage in the neigh
borhood of Vera Cruz. This gentleman, in con
junction with Mr. Benjamin, will, it is said in
quarters usually well informed on such subjects,
visit Vera Cruz on busines connected with this
railroad, and in order to effect such modifications
of their contract as will the better further their
enterprise ; and in this errand it is as reliably as
serted, they will have the co-operation of Mr.
McLane.
These movements are in part, however, based
on the supposition that the treaty will be duly
ratified.

DALY’S
AROMATIC VALLEY
WHISKY!
IN this age of adulterated and deleterious Liquors, it is a
source of great sat isfaction to be able to introduce to pub
lic notice the above article—an article of unquestioned purity
and possessing no qualities except such as have the most favor!
able influence on the human constitution.
A few roods of soil on the banks of the Rhine produce the
grape, which will flourish no wheteelse, from whose juice pro
ceeds the “J, hannisberg,” the eboicist wine of the woTld.
A few acres of land in Cuba produce a Tobacco, the flavor
and quality of which, when manufactured into Segats, are in
comparably Superior to that of the product of any other soil
And a nano strip of laud in the Parish of Natchitoches, in
Louisiana, lias long supplied the world with a super-excellent
article of Snuff, from such Tobacco as cannot be induced to
grow elsewhere.
In like manner, it has long been known that a limited terri
tory, lying in the valley of the Monongaheia river, exclusive
ly brings forth a Rye, of properties so marked and peculiar,
that its distillation produces a Whisky of such superlative
character r.s places it beyond rivalry.
By a process recently i.iscovcred, and now known only lo
tny manufacturer, the grain from Ihe choicest spot of this fa
vored locality is made to yield the AROMATIC VALLEY
WHISKY, with whhhno other can stand an instant’s com
parison.
I have no apprehension of being accused of publishing un
warrantable, or even exaJßterated encomiums, by any one who
will first subject my Whisky to the test.
It is now the standard article at all the first class Hotels and
Clubs in the city of New York; and wherever it is lnttoduced,
it at once assumes its leading position ; is awarded the Palm
of Superiority ; and the demand Tor it becomes a thing estab
ished.
Its medicinal properties are such that, while its immediate
effects are pleasant and grateful, it exercises the happiest per
manent influence upon tli constitution.
I have analyzed a sample of DALY’S AROMATIC VAL
Lt Y WHISKY, and find it to be a pure article, of tine flavor,
and without any deleterious admixture.
