CONCLUSION OF HON. A. 11. STEPHENS' SPEECH
ON THE NICARAGUA QUESTION.
The Government of the United States from
its orgiu has maintained legal provisions for , '
. the naturalization of such subjects of foreign >■'
States as may choose to come hither, make 1
their home in the country, and renouncing their ‘ I
former allegiance, and complying with certain I 1
stated requisitions, to take upon themselves I >
the character of citizens of this Government. •
Mexico herself, has laws granting equal faeili- 1
ties to the naturalization of foreigners. On
the other hand, the United States have not ’
passed any law, restraining their own citizens, <
native or naturalized, from leaving the coun- <
try and forming political relations elsewhere. ■
Nor do any governments, in modern times, at- I
tempt any such thing. It is true, that, there are !
governments which assert the principle of per- ' 1
petual allegiance; yet, even in cases where
this is not -other a matter of theory than prac
tice, the duties of this supposed continuing al- >
Jcgiance are left to be demanded of the sub- I
ject himself, when within the reach of the pow
er of his former government, ami as exigencies 1
may arise, and arc not attempted to be enfor- ;
ced by the imposition of previous restraint,
preventing men from leaving their country."’ ! t
-Again : “The chief Executive Magistrate, as
well as functionaries in every other depart- <
ment, is restrained and guided by the Consti- | ’
tution and the laws of the land. Neither the i ’
Constitution, nor the laws of the land, nor t
principles known to the usages of. modern i
States, authorise him to interdict lawful trade ■'
between the United States and Texas, or to <
prevent, or attempt to prevent, individuals <
from leaving the United States for Texas, or ■
any other foreign country."
"If such individuals enter the service of <
Texas, or any other foreign State, the Govern
ment of the United States no longer.holds over I
them the shield of its protection. They must
stand or fall in their newly-assumed character, 1
and according to the fortunes which may be
tide it."
Sir, who said that? Daniel Webster, who i
was as learned in the law, State, constitutional ' 1
and natiomd, as any num that ever lived upon i
the face of the earth. lie was known, sir, as i 1
the constitutional expounder. 1 am not here i
to defend all the opinions he ever uttered; but I 1
1 believe that he was quite Federal enough in I 1
all his constructions, lie w.iS a man whose !
massive intellect, like a huge lens, gathering '
every passing r.iv of light, brought the whole ■
to a focal point of intense clearness and bright- t
ness upon every subject to which his attention . '
wasdireeted Evey qu stioli to wlii: h his at ten
lion was directed m ver passed from his bauds I
V.itiio'it being thorilougldy explained . lid made !
perfectly clear to liny intellect. l u.it is v bat he '
says; that neither Congress nor the President .
has a right to prevent, or attempt to prevent, j
citizens from migrati::;; from this coimtry, even '
with a view of joining the enemies of a party
at peace with us. They have a right to abjure ,
their allegiance. Mr. Waddy Thompson, our
Minister to Mexico at that time, in a circular |
letter, uses similar language. I cannot read i
all of it; but lie says, on .lune i>, IM2 :
“Our own laws upon this subject, v Inch cm- |
body to the fullest extent the principles of the ■
law ot nations, only authorise the prevention |
of armed ami organised expeditions. It is not I
permitted, nor is it to be expected, that we '
should forbid emigration ; nor is it a violation .
of the obligations of neutrality, that the coun
try to which our people choose to emigrate,
happens to be at war with another, with which ,
we are friendly. The citizens and subjects of.
all countries have gone to Texas and joined its
armies. The only ditference is that a larger ■
number of the people of the United States has I
gone to that country. Does the number alter I
the principle ? If one may go, may not ten ? j
If ten, why not a hundred, or a thousand ? I
The principle is the same. An American citi
zen, for example, is about to embark from New |
Orleans, and he has his rille, bowie-knife ami I
pistols. Have our a tfliorities any power to stop j
him ? If there are ten or a hundred, the case i
is the same. Igo further. If they admit they j
are going to Texas, and intend to become citi- i
zens. and to join the armies of that country, it i
cannot be prevented. All that could be said to
them would be, -1 f yon go to Texas and be
come citizens, you have a right to do so, to
change your allegiance, and to discharge all
the new duties which such a change of allegi- '
mice may exact; but you are no longer a citi- ,
zen of the United States.’ If a regular mill- :
tary expedition is fitted out. then it is not only j
our right, but our high duty, to prevent it. — '
In all the revolutionary movements of the
South American liepublics, including Mexico,
large numbers of our people joined the insur
gents. It has always been so, and always will
be.”
Again, in the same paper, lie says, in relation
Io the charge of citizens of the United States
furnishing arms to the Texans;
“1 assert that such trade is no violation of
neutrality; that it has never been so regarded
by any respectable writer on public law: and
that it is a well-settled principle, that to send
articles contraband of war to a belligerent, is
no violation of neutrality ; the only penalty be
ing the forfeiture of the articles themselves.'’
On the 13th of July, 1842, Mr. Webster ac
knowledges the receipt of a copy ot this circu
lar, in a letter to Mr. Thompson. In that let
ter, the only comment he makes upon the cir- '
cular is in these words:
“You have not spoken of it (referring to a I
previous circular of Bocanegra's, complaining I
of what he called a violation of our neutrality I
toward Mexico) in terms too strong in your ;
circular to the members of the diplomatic
corps,”
Now, sir, in the opinion of these men, I say
that our law, as it now exists, docsnot prevent
citizens of the United States, with nnns in
their hands, going into any country they please,
provided they do not go in military organiza
tion. Military expeditions are prevented.—
Military expeditions are known; tiiere is no
mistaking them. Our laws say that they should :
he prevented, and I say so too. But Isay that '
Mr. Walker had a right to go to Nicaragua.— I
Those one hundred uml fifty men had a right j
to go there. It was no military organization. ■
Some gentleman has said that Mr. Walker
sailed in fraud of our laws. Mr. chairman,
with all due respect, I think that was a mis- .
take. Gen. M alker s expedition was inspect
ed. His ship was inspected. He got a regu- I
lar clearance. He had a right to it. He went
out upou the higlise as w ith just as clear a man- j
State f|y- iJvcss.
i ifest as any of our ships sailing the ocean.— I
Mr. Webster has affirmed, as just read, that
there is no power in the President, in the na- |
val officers, or in the courts, under our laws as
they were and still exist, to prevent the enii- “
1 gration of our people to other countries.— :
1 hat is all I affirm. Armed expeditions should
be prevented.
1 repeat, sir, in conclusion, as I have got 1
but a few minutes left, that lam not here I
against the neutrality laws, as far as they em- 1
body the well-settled laws of nations. 1 am
for having them clearly and distinctly express
ed. Armed expeditions, organised against the ■
law of nations, 1 am against; but when Amer
ican citizens see tit to change their allegiance,
and to go with rifle and Bowie knife in hand, 1
say that they have a right to do so. Yes, sir. •
they have a constitutional right to bear arms
in this country and to carry them wherever I
they see fit to go. They cannot use our soil on
which to organise military expeditions. If they I
do so, stop them. If Walker committed a |
wrong, let him be tried. If his men violated!
the law, let them be tried, but do not add in- 1
suit to wrong, mockery to outrage. Do not
commit this great wrong upon him if he be
not guilty, if you accuse him, try him; and
if found not guilty, redress the wrong as yen
ought. My opinion is, that he is innocent;
that he Ims violated no law. lam not here as
his eulogist. History will take care of him.
Believing that he has violated no Jaw. and
vindicating, as I do, the constitutional rights of
every man in our jurisdiction, whether citizen
or not, I say, sir, that if he be guilty, try him; :
but do not interfere with therights of any man
upon the bare assumption of his being an of
fender. without a trial. His guilt has to be
proved.
Mr. Chairman, T stated, and repeat now, that
Walker’s government in Nicaragua was recog- 1
nized by this. Mr. Wheeler, our minister, recog- ,
nized the Rivas government, and recognized <
Walker as President. The representative of.
that government here was recognized by this
government; and this government did not, sir
—and I want this house to know it —recognize 1
any vthcr than the government under which
Walker held office, until after he sailed on this
expedition. Let no man say that lam in fa- ;
vor of violating natiomd faith : kt no man put j
inc in the position of speaking lightly of the na
tional faith or the national ilag. Gentlemen can
not occupy that ground; J stand upon it my
self. The starsand stripes, wheneverthey wave
over a gallant navy in defense of the rights of j
our citizens, and in defense of national law, I 1
shall hail with delight, and be ready to respond,
from the bottom of my heart, in praise of its
chivalrous officers and men.
But, sir, the members of this House have '
been unfortunate in alluding to General Jack
son, and Jo the case of Captain Ingraham.— I
General Jackson himself took possession of
Florida. He was, it yon please, a grand tilli- i
buster himself. That was illegal. His error '
was on virtue’s side, lie erred for the coun
try, and for the people’s interests. But it re- 1
mained to Commodore Paulding, for the first
time in our country’s history, to bear that gal
lant flag, not in defense of men of hi>wwn blood,
of his own flesh, of his own race, who had
changed their allegiance; but it was the honor
of Commodore Paulding to do a deed that he
bo;i>ts of having done in anticipationuf a Bri(-
ish captain. lie boasts of the deed, ami says
if he had not done it the British would have
done it. His glory, as I understand it, is. that
he stepped in and 'lid the British work. When :
the American ffiig is prostituted toperform the
work of a British officer, 1 cannot commend
the deed. Why. sir, when Davis took this
>amc man. a British commander was alongside. !
If it is coming to this, that our Navy in Cen
tra! America is to do British work and British
bidding. 1 say it is time they were culled home.
It was not such work as this that our daring
commanders <Hd in the hist war when they el
i evated the American Navy to that height of |
glory that it has attained, and of which we may
be justly proud. That was achieved by light
ing the British and opposing British policy.
1 am for maintaining the same American pol- ’
icy against British policy that our Navy then |
maintained. lam for maintaining the laws ot |
our country, and against, aggression of all sorts. |
I stand here to-day upon a general principle
which invokes the rights of American citizens.
I am here also to defend the American tiug,
whether upon land or upon sea. as long as it is
borne aloft in defense of these rights. Accord
ing to these principles no citizen of the United
States, or foreigner, within our jurisdiction,
can be deprived of his life, of his liberty, or
his property, but by the judgment of his peers
and the laws of the laud. Upon these princi
ples 1 stand or 1 fall.
THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE IN CONGRESS.
The President s message, upon Nicaraguan
affairs, produced an animated debate in the
linked States Senate on the 7th inst., Messrs. •
Seward, Doolittle and Pearce sustained the 1
President, and Messrs. Davis, Crittenden,
Brown. Pugh, Toombs and Douglas took the
opposite side.
Mr. Davis said :
Were this expedition all that it is described to
be. it is only a misdiuneunor instead ofu violation
1 of the neutrality laws. The suspicion that there
| was an intent to make war against a nation
i with which we are at peace, would have just
i ified the detention of Gen. Walker ami his men
' within the limits of the United States, but not
their arrest beyond our own limits.—As we
have m» extradition treaty with Nicaragua,
they could not haw lawfully been taken upon
her soil, even had they been fugitives from jus
tice. Thu President has no more power to
make such an arrest than any member of Con
gress.
Mr. Crittenden alluded to the remark of the ’
President that Commodore Paulding had com
mitted a grave error, ami said that according
to his own premises such a conclusion was alto
gether illogical; and the conduct of Com. P.
was as com formable to law as if he bad received
express instructions to do what he did.
Mr. Brown thought it was a little, singular
that while the President disapproved of the ar
rest of (Jen. Walker, yet at the same time
excused that act.—The arrest of Gen. Walker
I was in violation of law ; for if Com. Paulding
| had a right to make the arrest, his conduct is
I not only to be excused, but applauded. If he’
i had no right to do that act, then the President
| owes it to the people of the country to con
| demn it. But if Gen. Walker has been guilty
of any violation of law, and has been arrested
and brought back to our shores ns a fugative
from justice, why is he not put in the clutches
of the law? Why was he brought to New
York, placed in the hands of the marshal, then
brought here and dclivere<l into the hands of
the Executive, and then set at liberty? Why
was he not curried back to Louisiana by the
same authority that arrested him, and there
j put upon his trial on this charge of violating
I the law ? Mr. B. went on to say that this was
I a farce being played out before the American
i people, which was disreputable to all who were
I engaged il* it. There had been no violation ot
I law. Those who have trumped up this charge j
against Walker kaew that there had been no
j violation ot law. If they believe that he has
violated the law, they have been guilty of a
; dereliction of duty in not punishing him for it.
Com. Paulding had charged Walker in his
j letter with piracy. Was there any proof to
MACON, GEORGIA, THI RSDAV, I'EBRI ARY 4, 10.
! sustain that charge? Was there any indict- :
ment against Walker for such an offence as i
that ? He would repeat what lie had said be- j
fore, that when Com. Paulding so far forgets j
his duty as to charge piracy, bucaneering and . j
' other heinous offences against men who have
rendered good service to the country, he dis- 1
| graces his epaulettes and deserves to have them j
torn from his shoulders. Gen. Walker has vi- (
j dated no law. Put him upon trial before a «
* jury of his countrymen, ami give him afairand ;
impartial trial ami he would be acquitted. i
Mr. Pugh thought the principles laid down <
! in the message were neither warranted by the (
Constitution of the United States, nor by any ;
statute law of the United States, nor by any ;
principle of the law of nations. The question ;
was not whether Gen. Walker was committing ;
a crime against Nicaragua ; let her punish him
if she is able. "Who made us the avenger of her >
wrongs? Was Walker committing any crime
•upon the high seas? What has he done ? —■
The Senator from New York says that he has
made war upon a foreign nation. This is no
crime by any law of the United States. It is a i
crime to set on foot, within the limits of the ]
United States, an expedition against a foreign (
nation with whom we are at. peace, but to go
outside of our own limits and make war is no
offence, either by the neutrality laws or any- ■
thing else. ’ ;
Mr. Toombs thought the message contained
grave and important errors, and wished to en
ter his dissent from them. The President, he ' «
! remarked, dared not defend, while he endeav
' ored to palliate, the outrage on an American ,
Senate, and he proceeded to examine some of ;
! the grounds upon which that palliation was at
tempted. The President assumed a question :
n<rw before the legal tribunals of the country;
be had assumed that the neutrality laws of the
United States had been violated and that it was ,
his business to enforce them. Mr. T. denied
1 that there was any proof that such was the
j case; but admitting, for the sake of argument,
that it be true, what right has the President to
use the army and navy all over the face of the ' ,
' earth ? This was an usurpation of authority '
not only in derogation of law, but in deroga
tion of his oath of office. He must get the au- •
l thority by law to use any extra territorial ju
i risilictiou whatever. He could command no
popular respect as a vindicator of the laws of
the country, unless he himself should obey the
laws; but. in this case, one law has been viola
ted tor the purpose of vindicating another.
i Mr. I)ongi.is thought the higher law was very
good in its place; but now wewcre to impure
what power is conferred upon the executive in
executing the neutrality laws. The statute of
1818 defines the jurisdiction of the United
1 States to extend one marine league from the
coast, and if an arrest shall be made within I
that distance of the United States, courts have
jurisdiction ; but no authority is given to make
ian arre-t beyond that distance. lie was in fa
vor of giving the neutrality laws a fair, faithful
and vigorous execution. This is a Government
of law. and let us stand by the laws and exe-
1 cute them faithfully, whether we like them, or
dislike them, so long as thry remain upon the
statute book. The right of expatriation, he
contended, was coextensive with the right of
naturalization, and he regarded the arrest of
Walker as in violation of the neutrality laws
and of the laws of nations.
THE INDIAN WAR.
The Li't news from India amioum cs the fall
i of the capita! of the powerful Mohamn udun
kingdom off hide, following that of the ancient
seat of the Mogul empire. The war i> thus
nearly finished on the great scale, but there
j will he for months, ami perhap* years to < >me.
a necessity for a larger force of Europeans than
has been there previously. It is true that the
Sikhs and the Goorkhas may, to a. certain ex
tent, replace the Sepoy, but the war. will as
suredly change the policy of England toward
I the Indian. It is evidently predetermined to
' reduce the rebels of Ilindoostan to the cundi
! tion of slaves in substance, albeit, some other
' name may be used to qualify and assuage the (
1 qiiecsy conscience of Exeter Hall. 'Hie war
, will not cud with submission, ami a military
: occupation will be necessary in order effec
, tuaily to convert the natives into laborers us (
the invoiuntaiy sort on their own soil, or to .
' transport them to some distant clime.
We only ask our English cousins to treat ■ ,
their new dependants with the same humanity ,
ami care extended to the African in the South- . (
orn States, ami not visit- the cooly too heavily j (
for those crimes which were the result us his ,
nature, ami the neglect and horrid misgovern- j
ment of the East India Company. It is a
satisfaction to know that the administration <
of India cannot remain in the hands of the j ,
; mercantile monopoly which Las been to Ilin- j
doostan as crushing ami deadly as the car of
Juggernaut to the wretched native that casts
himself to be immolate*! before its ruthless
wheels.— Xetc Yorl' X( :rs.
AGRICULTURAL.
The following “ Hints for the Month” are
from the February number of the Southern 11
a valuable Agricultural periodical •
published at Augusta, Ga.
The Plantation.—Break up land for Coni
as deep as possible, using the subsoil plow,
wherever it is practicable. Put on all the ma- 1
nure you can obtain, unless you are planting
very fertile new land or river bottoms. On
old land, you can scarcely manure Corn too
highly—it will appropriate all the food you
offer it in the growing season, especially if it
is turned deeply under. Manure heavily, plow
deep, and plant as early as the season will ad
mit. if you wish to have full cribs next fall.
Your preparations for C »tton planting should,
’also, go steadily onward—h.avc your *‘beds”
thrown up deep and mdluw, and get a “stand”
as early in the season as possible. Who will
give us a short and practical, but comprehen
sive. treatise on Cotton planting, “with all the
modern improvements,” for our March number?
Main us our new subscribers cannot obtain the
back volumes of the Cultivator; and we desire
that all interests be fully and fairly represent
ed in our journal. Let our best and most suc
cessful Cotton planters speak out.
I Spring Oats should now be sown as soon as
possible.
Irish Potatoes may be planted, and Sweet
, Potatoes beded out for the production of
“ draws,” the last of the month.
( Fences must be repaired, and put in order
■ for the season.
Hedges of the Osage Orange. Macartney ami
Cherokee Ro<c, Evergreen Thorn, Arc., may
i still be set out. but it must be done at once.
The Vegetable Garden.—The operations
of the Gardener must now commence in good
earnest. In order to secure a regular and
abundant supply of good vegetables, the garden
' must be put in a -borough condition at once.
Let it, however, be remembered that the soil
should never be stirred, nor any seed l>e plant
ed while the ground is wet: in fact, it must bo
dry enough to crumble easily, w hen raked over
See remarks of last month, under this head, all
j us which will also do for this month ’ ami if
any crop, that was put in before, Las boon des- '
troyctl by frost, let it l>e renewed.
English Peas may now have a careful hoe
ing, drawing a good ridge of soil to them, p.ir
. ticularly on the north<‘rft side.
• All vegetable >ecd<, except CucumK 4 ’*- 1
and Mush Melons, may be planted from the
middle till the latter part of this month, as
Beets, Spillage, Parsnips. Salsify, Ix-ttuee. Turn
ips, Onions, (blaek seed) Cabbage for succes
sion, tec.
During the latter part of the month, Cab
bage plants may be set out for a crop.
Okra seed may be planted; if put in rather (
deeply, say covered with a couple of inches of
soil, it will be safe and ready to start as soon 1
as the season will permit. Plant Irish Pota- j
toes, and if any of the former planting have j
come up, hoe and draw the soil up, so as to .
cover them completely, and they will soon ap- 1
pear, again.
By the middle of the month, AV#t«r Melons I
and a small crop of early Corn may be put in; |
Adams" Early, and White Flint Corn are the
best varieties.
Now is also the time to sow Colza seed. AVe i
have often planted the seed, during the first I
week of February, and had excellent greens in I
four weeks.
If Hot Beds have not yet been prepared, do
it at once. If you have no sashes or glass, you >
umj adopt the cloth or German Hot Beds, des- I
cribed under our Horticultural head.
Where Sweet Potatoes are wanted early in
in the summer, put out your sets in a hot bed, '
that you may have an abundance of draw s to
set by the first of April.
The Obchabd axd Fhvit Garden. —Set out
the I'each, the I’luin, the Apple, the Pear, the
Quince, the Fig, the Pomegranate, the Grape,
the Strawberry, and all other desirable kinds
of fruit and ornamental trees and vines. Ex
amine Peach trees for the worm, and Apple
trees for the borer, and dig those depredators
from their hiding places with the sharp end of
your knife. Heap leached ashes around your
Peach trees from the “collar"’ to the height
of 2 or 4 inches above the surface of the ground,
or pour boiling water around them as hereto
fore directed. Work around all your fruit
trees, stirring the ground well us far as the
branches extend, and apply a good top-dressing
of manure. Cover the surface around newly
planted, and all delicate trees, and shrubs, with
leaves, pine straw, or loose manure to the depth
of 4 or 5 inches, so that the roots may be pro
tected.
Tub Floweb Garden.—Plant, at once, all
Bulbs, such as Hyacinths, Tulips, Crown Im
perials, Dahlias. &c., &<-. Sow tender Annuals
in hot bods, and prick out into open ground us
soon as all danger of frost is over. Dress and
trim borders; plant edgings of box; spread
gravel on garden walks, and roll the surface
firmly ; plant ornamental Hedges or screens of
Arbor Vitie, Wild Olive, Euonymus, Privet,
Ac. Prune Roses and other ornamental shrubs.
Set out rooted plants, ami cuttings ot the Rose,
Cape Jassaniine, and other flowering plants.
Stake all newly planted and pliant shrubs.
Clear up all weeds and foul trash, and prepare
your (lowers to “see company."’ Prepare
ground for lawns, by plowing very deep, (sub
soiling is inches,) immure highly and sow a
liberal allowance of mixed seed, such as Ken
tucky Blue Grass. White Clover, Herds Grass.
Tex is Mnsqnit, Italian Ray, &c., *Vc. When
sow n, roll smoothly with a cast iron or stone
roller, and keep ell all sow ls, pigs, cattle, etc.
CLIPPINGS.
Newsi-ai-ei.-. -Judge Longstreet, the newly
elected Pr. -i.leiit of the South Carolina Coi
k“e, thus sets forth the value of a nowspu
p.T; —
r mall is the -uin thr.t is required to patron
ize the newspaper, and mo~t amply remunera
ted is the patron. I cure not bo .v humble mid
iinpreteiiding the gazette which he takes, it is
next to iinp< —ilde to fill it fifty-two times a
year, without, putting into it something that is
worth the subseiiptioii price. Every parent
whose- son is off from home, at school, should
supply him At ith a paper. I still remember
wh.it dinercmce there was between those of
my schoolmates who had, mid those who had
not access to newspapers. Other things being
equal, the first were decidedly superior to the
lust in debate mid composition at least. The
reason is plain, they have command of more
facts'. Youth will peruse a new.-paper with
delight, when they will read nothing else.
Jim Lake a Morotox Spy.—The report is
current that Col. Jim Laue of Kansas notorie
ty, is now mid for some months has been in
collusion with the Mormons. A Washington
correspondent of the Pliiiadelpliiu Press, says
that the Administration is in possession of in
tbrin.-ition w hich conclusively provesrfhc fact.
The exact character of this information is not
publicly known ; but tlie impression is. that
an express between Brigham Young mid Lane
has been intercepted on the plains by the U
nited States force.
The Killed by this EAitTiiqcAKE.—Later
accounts from the kingdom of Naples show
that the number ot persons killed by the terri
fic earthquake in December last amounts to
between fifteen mid twenty thousand. It is a
calamity w hich has spread terror mid desola
tion over the fair land of Naples.
Damage by the Fbksiiet.—AVe understand,
say,, the Columbus Sun. that the damage sus
tained by the Palace Mills, by the recent fresh
et, is very heavy, and will involve the loss of
several thou-and dollars, and occupy some two
or three mouths to place it in running order
again.
The Galveston News mentions the receipt of
a sweet potato weighing sixteen poumls, and
about thesize and shape of a pumpkin, measur
ing thirty inches in circumference each way.
A Mammoth Hog.—A few days since a hog
was killed i t Henry Sherahaliu's hotel, in
Mount Joy, Lmieastereounty Pa., w hich weigh
ed ‘JI2 pounds cleaned.
A Philadelphia jury lues acquitted the young
num. Smith, of the murder of Robert Carter,
late President of the Tainqua Pa.. Bank —the
seducer of his wife, on the ground Ot intanitu.
A Mormom advertisement reads as follows :
“To let—rooms for two gentlemen and four
I wives, or rooms for one gentk-imm and six
wives.”
There are ten times as many newspapers
printed in the Gennaii language in the United
States as there are in Germany.
“Avsirtisk."—Dull times are perliaps the
very best for advertisers. What little trade is
I going on they get, mid whilst others are grum
bling. they |>ay their way, and with the news
papers as a life—preservers.s wim on the top of
the water, while others are sinking all around.
Advertise liberally, mid you will liaixlly smel
hard times.
Ow Eabi.y Rising.—One of our cotenqiora

TILE LATE J. C. BATES, OF ALABAMA.
With “Major Bates" of the Alabama Jour
nal we enjoyed the most pleasant personal re
lations during our seven months' sojourn in
Montgomery. Though we ditt'ered widely in
political sentiments " we agreed to disagree,
as gentlemen always should,’"—to use an ex
, pression of Randolph of Roanoke, on a certain 1
occasion, in reference to himself and General '
Harrison. We met as strangers, wo parted !
i as friends, mid with the ex]aietation of many a
; re union this side "the iliiity pavement of the
tomb;"" aud in this pleasing expectation we con
tinued to indulge till Wednesday hist, when, to
our inexpressible surprise mid regret, we found
I on rending un article in the Montgomery Mail
| of the Ist instant, that our valued friend bail
. ce;i-ed to be an ildiabitaut of earth. We could
I scarce realize the sad truth that he had lieen
i dead some four months.
Major Bates was a native of Boston, Mass.,
I and as a politician he prided himself on his ad
herence to the coiiservative views of Webster
mid his " solid men" of that region ; but soci
, ally, he seemed to be peculiarly adapted to the
j society of the sunny South. We never knew
■ a inmi who seemed to be more free from the
unamiblo selfishness ascribed to the Amikee
! character. He was rather noted, in fact, for
his indifference to his own personal and pecu
-1 niary interest. Those who knew him best said
that his liberality knew no bounds but an emp
ty purse; that, like Goldsmith, he would give
to beggars till be had reduced himself to their
condition.
Major Bates edited the Abilaima Journal for
a period of alioilt seventeen years. Hispuper
was the organ ot the old Whig party of Alaba
ma, mid in the day of that party it was conduc
ted with decided ability and efficiency. Major
Bates wns a fine scholar, a well informed politi
cian, a man of extensive reading, and a ready
and vigorous writer. This will be readily ac
knowledged by all who read the Alabama Jour
nal in the days of Ulay Whiggery. Alter the
disbanding ot the Whig party, the Major made
comparatively little use of his pen in the politi
cal contests of his Stata To the organization
and some of the principles of the American
party, he manifested a decided repngtiancefrom
first to last; and as his opposition to the I )emo
crntic party never knew any abatement, he
found himself in an unfortunate position for a
party editor, the organ of a dead party mwl be
-1 tween the tiro of the two living ones. He, how
ever, supported the men brought out by the
Americans, in opposition to those presented by
‘ the Democracy, lint his heart never seemed
to enter into any of the political fights that
■ took place after the downfall of the Whig par
ty. lie wrote but little, mid so lar a- we <’•>::!•!
judge, desired to write -still less on the political
j topics of the day. His vitality as a jiartizmi
journalist ceased with the dissolution ot the par
ty to which lie had devoted the best days ol
his lite.
Peace to the ashes ot J. C. Bates', the cotir
«teoiis editor, s icial companion, the kind-heart
ed friend, the honest patriot.— SiclunomL £r

DBS. LEBRI N & DI ITON,
OCULISTS AN D A URIS 7S,
DR. LEBRUN offer* to tlio.se suffering from deaf
new bis* aural remedies, which have
been successful in nearly three thousand cases of eon*
tinned deafness ! Thc-e remedies have l»ccn pro
nounced bv Drs. Khnuiier, of Berlin, uud Dcfeim, < f
Paris, and Curtis Pilcher, of London. a« the most
wonderful ever applied for disease* of internal and
middle ear. They cvoipi i»e different courses for the
various diseases that affeCt the external and middle
ear. Dr. Lebrun warrant* a <*urt in trery cenm, when
the ear is perfect in its furmatiun. He has eighteen
certificates from those v, ho had been dxt ffrom ib fan
.>y, whose hearing is now completely restored, and they
are now enabled tu ieurn the language! Over twen
ty-seven hundred cases of avaftjess have been .success
fully treated by him. Certificates to that effect may
I be seen on application.
In al! oases of deafness arising from inflammation,
thickening, or even perforation of tin* “membrana
tyiupani, usually called the ‘drum’; inflammation of
nnicus membrane of the tympanum and cuataehain
tube, with accumulutiuu us mucus ; nervous affections,
, polypus growths, Ac., or when the disease can he
traced to scarlet, typhus. bißioWs or intermittent fe
ver, colds, the use of <piunnc or mercurial medicines,
gatherings in the ears of childhood, Ac., the sense
can. .in nearly every instance, be restored. When a
j want’ d’ secretion is uppatent, the “Auditory canal,”
being drv and scaly : when the deafness is accompa
nied with nuises in the ear, like rustling of leaves,
chirping of in.-ects. falling water, ringing of bells,
pulsations, discharge of matter; when in a stooping
position a sensation is felt as if a rush of blood tu the
, Lead ha<l taken place; when the hearing is perfectly
acute where there is much or less acute in dull,
cluudy weather, or when cold has been taken, the
course pursued by Dr. Lebrun is considered infallible.
Dr. DUFTON, the only practitioner in the United
' States who practices the new, painless, anti suceuss
ful method in treating all dfeeitfiaa to which the Eye
is subject, where every other mcaus have failed to
afford relief, he asks from such a fair and impartial
trial. Patients sending a few particulars ui their case,
can have remedies sent to any part.
Testimony.
“We the undersigned, practitioners of medicine in
the city of New York, having hnd occasion tu witness
the practice <»f Drs. Lebrun and Dufton. in diseaaea
of the Ear and Eve, lavinga i le all j»rofe.ssional jeaL

by them in treating diseases pf those delicate organs,
from the unparalleled success which has attended it,
is weli worthy the at ten tion ofour profatfrionnl breth
ren throughout the Uuiled States. Their svstem of
treating diseases of the middle and internal ear, by
the useful “medicated vapors,” particularly in chron
ic and complicated eases, form* a now era in the
practice of aural surgery, and tills up a void which
( has long, been fell by the gem ral pi aclHioner. In dis
