We have all heard that Napoleon relinquished
an ardently desired gratification, bocanse a cobbler
would not sell a small piece of ground that wa*
oMential to the contemplated project. When ex
orbitant price* offered the cobbler for hi* hut, had
been refused, let him koep it. said Napoleon, and
let it remain as a monument of die sac redness with
which the rights of property arc respected in
France.
The same improbable story lias been told of eve
ry despot tlmt history bn* wished to glorify,, and
tho reputation evinces that man every where hon
ors a respect for personal rights. Our State desir
ed n discontinuance of tho retail traffic in ardent
spirits, but our voters said with Napoleon, lot it
remain aa a monument of the sacroduess with
which personal freedom is tolerated in New York.
So our State abhors slavery, but if Virginia could
be despoiled by us of a control over her domestic
institution*, nlul compelled to abolish slavery, our
voters would say let it remain, a monument of tbe
•acreduos* with which self-government is respect
ed iu the United States. Slavery when thus view-
mi is not a national reproach as some people til-
pcrficially nifirin. but the cobbler's hut which while
it contrasts sadly with the other [tarts of our feder

to the sovereignty of our people in their several

all the intelligence which had come to hand rela
ting to the later events at the capital, aud I now
take up my pen to inform you that I have been as
sured, by several individuals, that they have acen
tuiil apoken tn nn Aid-dc-Camp of Santa Anna, and
also n groom who usually accompanies the latter
everywhere in this city, where they arrived two or
three days ago. Although it has been impossible
to ascertain anything thereon, it is confidently sta
ted that Santa Anua is now ot this very moment in
the viciuity of the coast, intending to take passage
on board of the English steamer .Medway, which
starts to-morrow morning for Havana.
He is every where <i> mainced as a traitor. A few
day# ago Santa Auna was positively in Puebla, and
aiuce his Akl-de-Camp aud servant have been here,
nothing more baa been heard of him. If I learn
any tiling more positive ou this subject, I will coma
mnnicate it to you instantly.

“At Gen. Taylor’* camp, when our informant
left, was the following immense army : Bragg’s
battery and tbe skeleton remains of three compa
nies of the 2d Dragoons under Col. Fauntleroy. At
Monterey, there was Col. Tihhatu. with five com

our federal constitution leaves every State to be
sovereign over its own domestic institutions; and
by the same reasou, the people of every territory
wilhin onr Union, ure morally entitled to a like
sovereignty, evun should the constitution by a
harsh construction, permit such sovereignty to bo
abridged. Praise w here voir can and censure on
ly where you must, is on esteemed precept which
Congress ought not to parody, by permitting self-
government only where they must, and abridging
it where they can. To a sensitive miuil. the lielp-
lessnesa of a .territory, as contrasted with a State,
would be a motive for protecting the inhabitants
of u territory, rather than depredating on them —
Nothing indeed would be more detestable than to
refuse aclf-goveromeut to our territorial oftkpring,
after liHvioj rebelled from onr parent country to
obtain the right of self government for ourselves.
In that contest, England refused to see anything
but the ingratitude of the colonics in withholding
aid from her exhausted treasury; so in the present
qticatiou of slavery, instead of regarding tlie more
lutidiiim-ntti] issue, that every community is right
fully entitled to regulate its own domestic relatious.
To witblicl Jing this right from a territory by rea
son that the liberty may be abused, is an argument
a* old as oppression, atid little befitting a nation
whose existence depends ou tho capacity of man
for self goeernmenf, nml whose experience prove*
that the dependence is ennobling snd safe. More
over if self government is right,—if to do unto oth
ers, as we would others should do unto us is our
duty,—if tlie employment of evil menu* is unlaw
I’ul for the attainment of good ends, we arc not
justified in putting a straight jacket upon the free
men who may remove to our territories ; nor are
we responsible to God or man for any consequen
ces that may result from tbe omission.
But we are told, tlio North never will permit
the acquisition of territory which shall lie nble to
tolerate slavery. Nay, all opposition to this fiat ia
sought to be silenced, by an assurance of its uni
versal tavor among virtuous people; just as women
are sometimes seduced in France, by lieiug assured
that chastity is unfashionable among the polite.—
Bnt may we not hope something better, that the
North and tioulh united will never permit tlie ac-
S uisition of territory whose inhabitants; flesh of our
esh. shall enjoy less power of self government
than we en|oy; that tho North and South united,
will deinuuil tho neutrality of Congress on tfis dis
turbing subject of slavery, aiidlhat Congress shall
neither establish it, nor prohibit it. On this com
mon ground North aud South can both stand, if a
tree is known by its fruits, this common ground
which will produce brotherly kindnesa, tranquili
ty and union, ia virtnons; while the opposite ground
is'vicious that will produco geographical hatred
aud ustinual debility. Spurious indeed is the vir
tue which consist* in voting self denials 011 otlior

us from committing. It constitutes tbe taxation
without representation that our fnthers pledged
their honora in resist, and it is,akin to tho religious
mortifications that tho pharisees placed on the
shoulders of other men, and receivod therefor
the condemnation of the Savior. Be our* the bet

Moral Heroism.
In tbs history ol Aragon, there is a fine instance
of moral heroism, of noble self-devoted ness in die
discharge of high official duty. We know not of
any passage in Greek or Roman page to compare
with it. Tho conduct uf the Chief j ustice of Eng
land, who ordered I’rince Harry (afterwards Hen
ry V.) to high judicial authority, fades in nothing
compared with it.
The fact is given by Ilallom, in hia History of
tho Middle Ages.
“John 1st, of Aragon, had sent some citizens of
Saragossa to prison, without form of law. They
applied to Juan de Cerda. Justiciary, for a writ of
manifettalion, (tbe kabau corpus of Aragon. He is
sued the writ accordingly. The king pretending
that the Justiciary was partial, named one ot his
own judges, the Vice-Chancellor, as coadjutor.—
This raised a constitutional question, whether, on
anspicionof partiality, a coadjutor to tlie Justiciary
could be appointed.' The kipg sent a private or
der to tho Justiciary not to proceed to seutence on
this interlocutory point uutil he should receive in
struction in the Council, to which ke teas directed to
repair. But he instantly pronounced sentence in
fuvor ofliis exclusive jurisdiction, without a coadju
tor. He Ikat repaired totke palace. Here the Vice
Chancellor, in a long harangue, enjoined on him to
suspend sentence 1111 til he had heard the decision of
tlie Council. Jusu' de Cerda answered, that the
case lieiug clear, he had already pronounced upon
it! This produced some expression of anger
from the king, who began to enter into an argument
upon tlie merits of the question. But the J usticiv-
ry answered, that, with all deference to his Majes
ty, ho was bound to defend hi* conduct before the
Cortes, and not elsewhere.
“On a subsequent day, the king having drawn
tho J uatiriary to his country palace, on a pretence
ofhuuting, renewed the conversation with the as
sistance of his ally, tho Vice-Chancellor, hot 110
impression was inadehu tho venerable magistrate,
whom John at length, though much pressed by nM!1
liis adviser* to violent measures, dismissed with
civility."

puted, that a gradual enlargement and increase of
manufacturing interest in Georgia is to take place ;
for the signs of the times, too portentious to be
mistaken, indicate it—the political action of a large
portion of our northern hretliren will drive us, if
other considerations did not induce us to it—a large

political capital and buy himself a presidential

lions, and libelling our Senator*; when our north

their children even, with a belief that wo are little
better than barbarians and savage task-masters
I say when all these helliah efforts are making to
destroy our property and institutions, guarantied to
us by the Constitution. Is it not time for us to be
stir ourselves and become entirely independent of
our enemiec. by the establishment of manufactures!
Is it not time for our Legislature to foster and on-
courage, by every menus in their power, this right
arm of defence aud independence, and by so doing
strip our enemies of at least one-half their power
to do us harm T Our Legislature will soon astern
ble, and I do hope it will, for its own as well as the
State’s interest, give the subject of manufactures
a careful consideration, and remember that “Free
Trade” is tbo Southern motto, and let that free
principle extend to every branch ot industrial ecoir
omy. If they will do their duty iu this respect’
the people will uobly second them, and we can and
will bo independent of northern abolitionist, and

Election of V. 8. Senators.
Mr. Editor—Already have the accommodating
“wire-workers” sounded tho noto of preparation,
to harness Gov. Towus aud make him bend to their
schemes, in tbe coming election for U. S. Senators.
To all such, unless I greatly mistake Col. Towhs,
I would say spare yourselves the trouble, gentie-
eu. Col. Towns is a strict and rigid construction-
iat, aud will adhere to the letter aud spirit of the
Constitution. He is not in'favor of compromising
ajijJ trimiiig to suit potlicu-lar occasions—be will
yield.to no hacking aud liowiug at tbe ship of
state; to no turning and changing ballast. He
fiuds his command in good trim, “all atanlo," as
the sailor* say, and well found in rigging and sails!
steered by one rudder, and one compass—a rigid
adherence “to the written law."
Therefore if the Legislature, after filling

A CLASSICAL BOARDING SCHOOL.
T HE uudetsigned rector and proprietor of the above
Institution, relies upon the citizens of his native
State for a liberal patronage. His school has been es
tablished to meet the views of those who like himself
prefer to remove their sons from the contagion of evil
examples, and varied temptations by which they are
beset in cities and towns. Thecoursoof instruction
will be such as to supercede to a considerable extent
tbe necessity for a collegiate education; or to prepare
his pupils thoroughly for an after course of either col
legiate for professional instruction. Fifteen years of
successful experience in his busiseas, costly buildings
erected at his private exponse, a new and superior
Chemical and Philosophical Apparatus, and n Library
of valuable books of reference, designed to facilitate
and promote tho progress of his pupils, constitute a
part of his claims to the support of the public. With
out an assistant hia (school will be strictly limited to 25
pupils—with one, to 35. A fee of 880 for term of 5
months, covers all expenses of board, tuition, washing,
fuel and lights. The fee for tbe first term payable in
advance; for subsequent, at the close thereof, or upon
the pupil leaving school. No pnpil received for less
than a term, and every entry being regarded ns a term,
except in case of a special agreement for a longer
time, a liability for tlie entire term will be understood
to attach immediately upon, and by virtue of the entry.
The first term of 1848, will commence ou the first

California.—The correspondent of the New

number of emigrants from the Uuited States is
about .1,000 about half of whom have arrived there
duriug the last season. The native population of
Upper California, according to the most authentic
data, is about 21,000, of whom 4 000 are classed
as people of character, and the remaiuing 19,000
as “nophytes." He is of opinion tliat California is
destined to be a grazing, rather than an agricultu
ral couutry, the extreme dryness of the summer
causing a serious drawback to the fertility of the
land, which can only bo remedied by irrigation.

Of all tlie cures that have ever been recorded, we

Dr. Swathe—Dear Sir.- For the good of the pub’
lie, I feel myself in duty bound to testify to tlie great
cure which your Compound Syrup of Wild Chcny per
formed on me. For my part, I feel as if every body
Ought to know it. I wu afflicted with a violent
cough, spitting of blood, night sweats, boa rseness, and
sound of the voice indicating an alarming state of dis
ease ; my appetite was gone, and my strength had so
far failed me that my friends and physician were per
suaded I could not survive many days. My sister,who
was my anxious care-taker, made inquiry where she
would be likely to procure tbe most certain relief.
She was told that if Dr. Swaync's Compound Syrup of
Wild Cherry failed in the cure, my life was then hope
less. Your medicine was immediately procured, and
tho first bottle gave relief and by the time I had com
menced tbe sixth bottle, my cough had left mo and
my strength was much improved. In short, it has
made a perfect cure at me, and I am at this present
time as hearty a man as I wish, aud have good rea
son tobelieve that the use of your medicine has saved
me from a premature grave. I shall be pleased to
give any information respecting my case. Yours
