filtnttST.—A priyato letter received by one of
our germau citizens, whfch give* an accouut of
the revolution iu Prussia, states that iu the coit-'
flict between the Kiug’s troop* and the citizen*,
ou the 19th of March, the carnage ha* beeu im
mense. The number of soldiers killed amounted
to about 1*300, anil more than otto thousand citi
zen* were slaughtered mi that day. Au expres
sion of the King, .“that ho would' forgive ihout,”
which be i* said to have uttered, when the dead
bodieit of the alaiu citizens were carried iu solemn
proccssiuti past the palace, is' said to have excited
the wrath of the jicople anew, in conseqneure of
which the King has either been forced to leave the
city, or as others say, haa been killed. The ex
citement throughout Germany is immense. At
Haunu, near Frankfurt, ou the Main, forty thous
and people, able and ready to curry units, were as
sembled on tbe 15th of March. A committee call

Henry Clay aud Ibe Presidency.
At last speculation is put to rest—tbe question
is settled—Mr. Clay it a Candidate for the Brest*
deucy. A letter from uuder the hand—almost
from uuder tbe seal—(so solemn is thi* iuslrumeut)
of this great-‘light of other days," appears iu the
last number of tbo Baltimore Suit.
So eager was he that his “final determination”
should he known at once to the country—to the
whole couutry—that his friends most ueeds employ
the Telegraph, word forward, tu speed this magnetic
document to bis wailing Constituency. To many
of these, if their udmiratioii has nut yet burnt out,
it will he regarded as “glad tidings of greut joy;”
but if it bring “healing iu its wings" to the Whig
Party, certain it is, it will ho bailed with rapture
by lue Democrats: tor, tu uso a Hiheruicism, they
know that the horse that is always “beaten" will
never wiu.
If Henry Clay could not succeed iu tbe days of
his strength—w lien be was in the prime uf tnnit-
hood—w lieu he was mingling ill and directing aud
leading the councils of the Nation—vviutu the pres
tige of his name nud of hi* civil echiovmeitt* es
tablished the strongest confidence in the result—
how is it possible for him to do so now, wheu the
rock upon which he rested his all is split—wheu
his principles which were tho bnttlo-cry of his par
ty have grown obsolete—wheu his cherished po
litical maxims have beeu exploded—when younger
rivals mornvigoreu* iu tuiitd, more pliant, if pos
sible, to popular influences, and more identified
with the party measures of tbe day, are springing
up between him and tit- public lavor—und wheu
evurv demonstration w hit It he has reccutly made,
carries upon ita “head aud from" uuequivoca! aigua
of the decay aud imbecility cf old age.
Indeed if there was anything wanting to prove
hew much we ure warranted iu mukitig this lust
remark, enough iu all conscience would be found
•u this last epileptic ctibrl which he has put forth
to iba public nud bis sweet friends, tbe Whigs.—
Nothing could represent more truthfully the ex
tremityuf that condition in which the proclivity of
the “sear ami yellow leal" has placed him. What
doubts, what fears have nssuiled him! What vas-
cillation, what irresolution have answered the en
qtiiries of his friend sT What child-like simplicity,
what depeudunce of nge. Alnrk the eagerness with
which he gathers the adviceol hi*adherents? W hat
painful striigsli s between hope and fear, ambition
and resignation does he uppear to hove experienc
ed before be determines w hat course he shall Lake?
And what, indeed, is that course? We were pre
pared to expect, after the severe conflicts in which
he had wasted his strength, aud secured a fame
wide as the couutry itself, that he would desire to
close the winter of his life iu the serenity ol retire
ment But not so. The chill of yeur* seems uot
to have cooled the ardor of hi* youth. Ambition
still whispers that he ha* not yet completed the
circle of his glory. Ambition, refusing the sober
suggestions of reason, still exhibits before him
those gorgeous .“dissolving views" which he loved
to contemplate in Ihe'zeuith of his pride, aud he
pronouuces for the Presidency.
But alas! how differently does ho present him
self for the nation’s suffrages? Formerly, with the
air and toueofoue who was accustomed to com
maud, bo was wont to dictate the terms of his nom
ination, . Now he comes in the meekuess of au
alms-gatherer—petitioning for it. Contrasting the
Henry Clay of yesterday with the Henry Clay of
to-day-then, the object of an idolatrous matt-wor
ship, the cynosure of men, the kiss-houorer of wo
men—now, the repudiated petitioner—we are nat
urally reminded of that proud minister of Ea g
land, who, iu ono short hour fell from his high es
tate, to a friendless wanderer, and ia the bitterness
of despair knocking at tbe gate of a retired Con
vent, exclaimed—
“uOfe.i who'
" *Arnj orders—the
“An old man hrnken with tho storms of stole,
Is come to lay his weary bones among ye,
Give him a little earth for charity!"
But in what in awkward attitude has this letter
placed the great Henry Clay? It may well bo said
that he has stoked all upon this, final throw. Tho
game is become too desperate to regard the coun
sels of prudence. Without, this letter, if he is to
oose the nomination, he might yield up hi* hopes
becomingly, by saying. "I did uot seek it:" hut
with it, staring him in the face, who can picture
the aggravated mortification that must follow snch
an eveut? It is plain, however, that he is not anti
cipating sooh a state of ihings. Ho haa been ca
joled by desperate place-biuiters, into tho belief
that ho is out of all danger, and therefore he has
thrown aside that prudence which ought to have
been the "man of his counsel." But will bo get
the nomination! Nay. verily, if tho South and
West have nuy coutrol in tbe Convention! This
letter will fix the seal of condemnation npon him.
Tbe North also, which he has been wooing of late,
aud as he thinks to purpose, will be found to bavo
played the coqnette, and will reject bts suit. »r

first in receiving this meed. Bit iu the adminis
tration of justice, the editor of the Constitutionslist
is too good a lawyer not to know that the person,
not tbo cause, makes all tbe difference iu the world.
Though, this is what I have to at.y to you: that for
one I should heartily despise yon uud yonr paper—
could you, with yoor professions of democratic
fairness and liberty, exclude any man from, a bear
ing through your columns, you knew to be a loyal
member of the party. It is u beautiful practical
exposition of democratic, or American freedom,
surely, to have one who, at best, is but au employee
of tbe party, to usurp a power obsolete, and disa
vowed by tho despotism of Metteruich! What is
this intolerance hat a censorship of the Press, in
one of its most contemptible forms? But lotus
turn to “Georgiau.” And first, as to the attempt
to shade my parly fidelity, by his suspicions of my
motives. The Georgiau calls his correspondent
“ able,” aud perhaps he is so, but this flying off to
Ibe “argumentum ad hominum," when the argu
ment pinches, is tlio stale aud easy expedient of
any tyro. What was there in my piece to cull for
this attempt to discredit me T l'ou, air, kuow me
for ono so radically democratic, and if “Georgian"
trill have me to say it, so much of a Southern dem
ocrat. that I would see. willingly, every aspirant
we have, tumbled neck and heels out of our way—
rather than yield an inch of principle or of consist
ency, to subserve tho arbitrary purpose* of any of
them. I say I am a Southern democrat, because
here you must come to fiud the genuine animal.—
Name another beside Woodbury mid Dallas, from
hyperborean regions. You kuow very well that
my second choice ofall the world, is Levi Woodbury.
A man throughout bis whole political life without
a stain ; and here let me challenge the whig pres«
of Georgia, hacked by “Georgiau,” to put their fin
gers on a peccadillo even, of hi*. For this writer
says there is no man iu the patty against whom
something might not he written,—now here is a
toil for bis memory or hi* ingenuity. “Georgiau”
seems to think me unfriendly, personally, tu Gen’l
Cass. For nuy thing 1 have written against him,
he might just as well have supposcJ anything else.
I am not personally acquainted with General C.—
or more than hardy so—though he and I have helji-
ed ourselves to celery from tho smite glass, for
mouths together. I found much tu respect iu his
private bearing—for he was abstemious, (which
all public nten should be.) remarkably dignified,
and respectful and acct-tsible enough. But—to
commit the same sin again, for whiuh I have been
so severely berated—I believe tbe broad surface of
these States docs not hold a more yielding or timid
politician than Gen. Cass! Place him where Mr.
Polk has been from tho first hour ofltis incumben
cy, aud be would have infallibly either ruined him
self or his Country. As to his soundness upon the
Wilmot Proviso question: if I were not able to
prove, by as good and as wise men as are iu Wash
ington City, that in a short time he chauged his
opinion* on this subject three times, I could yet
prove, him, by the very words of tho Scuator him.
self, cited by “Georgian,” altogether unsafe on
Pryviso-ism. He (Gen. C.) says in bis Nicholson
letter, that be was unwilling tu interfere with tbe
question of Slavery at till iu the Territories, by in
voking the powor of Congress, but was for leaving
this whole matter to the people of the Territories,
under the restrictions of the Constitution. So says
Scuator Dickinson, aud so he lays it down in his
resolutions; aud, we believe, ‘ Georgian’’ thinks us
fairly, as the South has any right to demand.—
Now to the poiut. Is not General Cass in favor of
these identical resolutions of the N. Y. Senator?
Do they not ipfcrreutially exclude the full commu
nity af right to Territorial pat ticipatioii, by all
the citizens of the L'uion, iu acquired territory ?—
Do nut the exposition of these resolutions of Sena
tor Dickinson in his Speech, and the further illus
tration of their scope by questions proposed by tbie
Senator tu Mr. Yulee, during tho debate on bis
counter-resolutions, shew plainly to the world, that
they never once contemplated bolding the right uf
a citizen to introduce what properly, with bis per
son he pleased into a Territory, for one moment,
in abeyance, or any longer than the people as citi
zens of a Territory (not of a State.) could act ou
thequestionf Why, the very gistof these arguments
of the trimmers betweeu downright Aboliliouism,
and tbe true Democratic 8tatrs-Right doctrine, on
the subject of Slave Immigration, is: that thepeo
ple—whether citizens ol a Territory or of a State—
must determine this question like every other, for
tltciHSflves; and the Dickinson adherents contend
there is nothing so incohutc iu the political organi
zation of u Territory, even uuder tlie Ccnstitiuion-
a 1 restrictions, as. would prevent them, from exerci
sing a pleuary muuicip-.l auUiorily over the whole
question of Shivery. If ibis is sound doctrine, or
if it be the doctriue of “Georgian,” let him say
aud then see who will Grst bo the disowned of tho
party. But, I might go on for a long time thus,and
yet uot remark ou the important feature of this last
paper of the Georgiau’* correspondent. That most
importoitl matter (to excuse tbe bull.) is the spirit
of that communication. For my part, 1 utterly de
test the democrat who esteems more dearly the
uuiou aud success of his party, than he does the
parity andconsistency ofltis party- Hthe question
is virtually one of men, then let it be made houcstly!
for then, as far as I am concerned—whether the
admission will prove too •• magnanimous” for “Geor
gian” or not—I do uot wish to be restricted to the
rank* of any one parly, and be denied fraternity
with the many loveuble men to be seen in the fold
of tbo opposito party. «But let us be serious.—
Why did “Georgian" nomiuate General Cass ? To
have us exchange our views, he say# t how! yon,
sir, must say Gen’l Caw is really a very fine man,
a most estimable man!: aud I say in reply, and by
way of keeping up this exchange of ideas ou tbe
subject of the Presidency: ye* sir, you say truly—
but is not Mr. Woodbury a splendidffellow! Now
mark, this baa to bo said gravely, and very ginger-
mmBi'iB'i IIRP—I SMK»" :c * \
d > not mean to dismiss “Georgian" thus easily, in
bis attempts to prove me no democrat, or, nt best,
oue that does the party more harm than good.—
Who is respont ible for this “family jar”? If I saw
in this piece of “Georgian’s" the first attempt at
home, to second and carry out successfully the
scheme I saw hatching last winter, in its nest, tu
make Geu. Cass the next President; aud chose to
express it, who dares to rebuke mo ? “Georgian"
is, it appears from bis article, a most loyal, sub.
missive, Convention man. This may or may uot
be a credit to him. It depeuds on certain very
ticklish conditions. But he is willing or ho is not
willing to trust the matter of a candidate to the
Convention,- fur be meekly says “the Convention
will give us a man whom we will all support.” If
“Georgian" is wiliiug to submit tbe subject to
the Convention, wbv attempt what wo believe
he was the first to do iu this State, to forestall
the actiou of the Convention in favor of his
choice ? He shows by this very plainly that if ho
is ready to trust the Convention, he had much ra
ther the delegates “should retire aud make up their
verdict" after they bad heard him. Bat if he i*
not wiliiug, where is“Georgiau’s”consistency in ta
king me to task fur my recusancy, tlie proof of which
begins aud end* with his gratuitous assertions.—
But one word more to “Georgiau." What I have
written has not beeu from malice, or favor, or oft
lection. Far less have I uttered ouo word for the
purpose of distracting a party, the success of whose
principles and policy is as dear to me as existence ;
aud iudeed they make that existence happy and
ennobled. For Ido verily thiuk that the day that
we, as a people, disavow and discard the genuiue
spirit of the doctrine* of. that party, we have en
slaved ourselves aud debased the noble estate of
man. But I desire as a devoted party mau, to see
my party just. Not oue day consulting aud reject-
sonallg more partial. Let me in a friend!
•Georgian,” does he not believe, nay, i
not know, that had the leader* of our party in
Georgia (men of tbe first mark) been listened to by
the party, Martin Van Buren, and not Mr. Polk,
would have been nominated in 1844 ? Wo* I then
an euemy of my party, for speaking agaiust Mi. Van
Buren ? Would my positiou, had you wished then
to attack it, have embarrassed you, because I pub
licly aud privately said, upon tbe appearance of
Mr. V. B.'s Texas letter, ilisthe was no better for
our purpose than was Mr. Cluy. Does not “Gvor
giau” kuow that plain things aud hard things must
be said, hard, because true ? Aud it does nut be
come any man who sees this necessity, to cry ont
“but uot to bim from whom the offence conicth.’
The Convention always will use, ever has exer
cised the right tu canvass the claims of our leading
public men. aud what is right fur them is not wrong
for the muss of the people. Lei me ask “Georgian’’
should 1 nominate Mr. Calhoun, would ho bo cer
tain he would say nothing about Mr. Ritchie’s ex
pulsion, iu the papers ; nothing ofltis North Caro,
lina letter; nothing of his Resolutions, or his Ten
Regiment speeches? Is he not a Democrat ? Yea,
veri ly. oue at whose feet we would do well to sit and
learn. But he is nut a party man, right or wrong—
uot a Couveutiou man, whether that Convention
be a packed knot of jobbing partisans, wbo are to
be paid for all they do, or not. He is uot such
au one, nor is CHATHAM.

As itis time that the Democrats should be look

gentleman wbo, he thinks, will he generally ac

That gentleman is Col. A. P. Towers, of Bibb.—

Mr. Editor: Permit me through tho medium of
your paper, to call the attention of the Democracy
uf the Secuud Congressional District to the fact
that the Hou. Alfred Iverson declines a nomination
for re-election to the station which he now so ably
fills.
lu view of this state of affairs, it becomes our
duty to consult with oue auother, freely, as to the
bolding of a Convention—particularly its time and
place—so that tho true opmiou of the district may
be elicited as to its choice of a Representative. —
I would therefore respectfully designate Amerieus
as the most couveuieut place, aud the fourth Mou.
day iujune as the most suitable time ; aud that
the names of-Several may be before the minds of
tlie people (some having been already designated)
for their choice, I would recommend to the favor
able consideration of the Democracy of the district,
tbe name of William K. DeGraffinheid, Esq.,
of Early county. The praise-worthy efforts of the
Colonel, iu favor of the S. W. R. Road—au enter-
prize in which almost every citizen of the District
feels a deep interest—aud the fact of his having
been so long favorably known to the Democracy
of the District, emholdeus me with confidence to
present hi* name to the consideration of the Con
veutien. a DEMOCRAT,
Of Second Con. Dist.

This valuable medicine combines tbo most salatary
productions, tbe most potent simples of tbe vegetable

most distressing chronic maladies, bas given it an ex
alted character, furnishing, as it does, evidences of its
ouru intrinsic voice, and recommending it to the afflict
ed in terms they only can know It bas long been a
most important desideratum in tbe practice of medi
cine to obtain a remedy similar to this—one that woald
act on the liver, stomach and bowels, with all tbe pre
cision and potency of mineral preparations, yet with
out any of their deleterious effects upon the vital pow-
era of tbe system. Eruptions in all their various
phases, ulcers of every kind, rheumatism, liver diseas

system, and many other complaints, can be relieved
and cored by this valuable combination of detergent,

YFistar’s Ralsaiu.at ilostac-
Boston. April H, 184C.
Mr. S. W. Fowle—Dear Sir—I have been induced
at the suggestion of many of my friends, to m ike known
to the public through you, the great benefit thavede
rived from the use of the medicine called Wistar’s
Balsam of Wild Cherry, in the hope that other* suf
fering from lung complaints may find tho same relief
by it* use that I have done.
The latter part of last summer and in tbo fell, I snf
fered greatly from a severe coaglt, paiu iu the side,
difficulty of breathing, loss of appetite, and other symp
toms which indicated a rapid decline. Three of the
most learned and intelligent medical practitioners pro
nounced my esse consumption, aud stated to me that
nothing but a change of climate could be of the least
possible benefit to me, as my lungs were in a very in
flamed aud diseased state. At tkis time, in hopes I
might find a temporary relief for my cough. I bought a
bottle of tbe Balsam, which not only gave me the re
lief that ray failing strength required, bnt - seemed to
S 've me new life and energy. After taking several
ittlesoftbe medicine, rnv appetite returned, and
with it my strength ; my cold entirely left me. as also
the night sweats, which, previous to this bad been ve
ry profuse. In five weeks' time I gained eight pounds
of flesh, aud have been able ei er since to take tny ac
customed exercise, a walk of from three to four miles
a day, and attend to my regular business. I should
be most happy to hare you refer any oue, who may
wish further particulars, to me at my place of business
No. 305 Washington street. Verv truly yours,

Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla Pills
Dr. LE ROY, a Licentiate of tbe -Royal College of
Phyatciana in London, having used in his private prac
tice, for a. number of years, the Wild Cherry and Sar
saparilla, at length made au extract of them, which,
with other vegetables, be bas combined in one of tbe
best Pills ever made known to the European commu
nity, and which met the - attention of the American
people. They are the most efficacious purgative and
tonic vet discovered.
THE WILD CHERRY
is an excellent tonic, possessing astringent and aro
matic properties, which make it valuable in Dyspepsia,
Jaundice, Weakness of tbe Stomach and Chest.
