dent." "At present, it is sufficient for ns to say to
yon, that if, in the opinion of tbo government, jus
tice had not been evinced on tho part nf the Sen
ate nnd government of tho United States, in intro
ducing such modifications, it is presumed, on tho
other hand, that they are not of such importance
that they should sot aside the treaty. 1 believe,
on tho contrary, that it ought to bo ratified upon
the same terms in which it has already received
tbo sanction of tho American government My
which existed ond were in fall force independently
of the provisions and without the aid of this article.
Notwithstanding it has been expunged from tho
iMQhWNmili ware to “proaervo the legal
value which they may possess.” The refusal to
revive grants which bad become extinct- was not
to invalidate those which were in full force and
vigor. That such, was the clear understanding of
the Senate of tho United States, aud this in perfect
accordance with the protocol, is manifest from
opinion is also' greatly strengthened by tho fact, the fact, that whilst they struck from tho treaty
that a new negotiation is neither expected nor this unjust article, they, at tho same time, sane-
considered possible—much less could) another bo tioued and ratified the last paragraph of the eighth
brought forward'npon a basis more favorable for I article of tho treaty, which declares that‘In the
tho republic " •**“ territories property of every kind now beloug-
Tbo deliberation* of the Mexican Congress, lag to Moxicans not established there, shall be in-
with no explanation- before that body from the violably respected. Tbo present owners, the
United Slates, except the letter of the Secretary heirs, of these, and all Mexicans who may bereaf-

as recommended by the President of that repub- with respect to it guaranties equally amplh a* if the
lie in the form in which it bad-been amended and same belonged to citiiens of tho United State*.”
-- i “'— 1 Without auy stinulntion in tho treaty to this effect,
all such valid tiUos under tho Mexicau Goveru-
ratified by the United States; The conversations
embodied in a paper called a protocol took place
after the action of the Mexican Congress- was com
plete, and there is no reason' to suppose that the
got eminent of Mexico ever submitted the proto
col to the Congress, or over treated • or regarded it
os in any sense a now negotiation j or ns operating
any modification nr change of the amended treaty.
If snch had been it* effect, it was a- anility until
approved by the Mexican Cbngress, nnd such ap
proval was never mado nor intimated to tho Uni-
trj Stales. In tho final consummation of tho rat
ification of the Ueaty by the President of Mexico,
no reference is mado to it. On the contrary, this
ratification, which was delivered to tbo Commis
sioner* of tbo United States, and is now in tho
* State Department, contains a full and explicit re-
ment would bavo been protected under the con
stitution and laws of the United States.
The third and last explanation contained in the
protocol is toot “the Government of the United
States, by suppressing toe concluding paragraph
of article twelfth of the treaty, did uut iuteud to
deprive the Mexicau republic of tUe free uud un
restrained faculty of cediug, conveyiug, or trans
ferring at auy time fas it may judge best) the sum
of twelve millions of dollars which the same Gov
ernment of the United State* is to deliver in the
places designated by the amended articlo.”
The concluding paragraph, or rather.sentence, of
the original twelfth article, thus suppressed by the
Senate, is in the following language: “Certifies-
cognition of the amendments of the Senate, just tes in proper form for the said instalments, ras
as they had been communicated to that govern
ment by the Secretary of State, and been after
wards approved by the Mexican Congress. It de
clares that "Having seen and examined the said
treaty, and the modifications made by the Senate
of tho United States of America, and hsviug given
an aceouut thereof to the General Congress, con
formably to the requirement in the 15th para
graph of the IlQtb article of the federal constitu
tion of these United Slates, that body has thought
proper to approve of the said treaty, with the
modifications thereto, in all their parts, and incon
sequence thereof, exerting the power granted to
me by the constitution, t accept, ratify, aud con
firm the said treaty, with its modifications, and
promise, in the name of the Mexicau Republic, to
fulfil and obsorve it, and to causo it to bo fulfilled
and observed. ”
poclivcly, in such sums as shall be desired by tho
Mexicau Government, and transferable by it. shall
be delivered to ibe said Government by that of
the United States.”
From this bare statement of facte the meaning
of the protocol is obvions. Although the Senate
bad declined to create a Government stock for the
twelve millions of dollars, and Issue transferable
certificates for the amount in snch sums as the
Mexicau Government might desire, yet they could
not have intended thereby to deprive that Govern
ment nf the faculty which every creditor possess
es, of transferring for bis own benefit the obliga
tion of his debtor, whatever this may be worth,
according to bis will and pleasure.
Itcauuot be doubted that the twelfth article of
tho treaty, as it now stands, contains a positive
obligation, “in consideration of the exteusiou se
ws*
ganl •* _
modify or change the treaty as it had been amend
ed bv the Senate of the United States.
Tno first explanation which it contains is,
“That the American government, by suppressing
;the 9th article of the treaty of Gadalnpe, nnd sub
stituting the 3d article of the treaty of Louisiana feet, and no more.
Government to any person whatever; but the as
signee in aneb case would stand in no better con
dition than that Government. The amendment of
the Senate prohibiting the issue of a Government
transferable stock for the amouut produces this ef-
.did not mteud to diminish, in auy way, what was
.agreed upon by the aforesaid article (9th) in favor
.of tbo inhabitants of the territories ceded by Mex-
jico. Its understanding is that all of that agree
ment is contained in the 3d article nf tho treaty
«f Louisiana. In consequence, all the privileges
aud guarantees, civil, political,and religious, which
would uave been possessed by the inhabitants of
the ceded territories, if the ninth article of the
treaty had beet, retained, will be enjoyed by them,
without any difference, under the urticlo which
-has been substitnted.”
The ninth article of the original treaty stipula
ted for the incorporation of the Mexican inhabit
ants, of the ceded territories, and their admission
iuto the Uuion “a* soon us possible, according to
the principles of the federal constitution, to the
.enjoyment of all the rights of citizen* of the United
6tates." It provided, also, that, in the mean time,
they should lie maintained in the enjoyment of
their liberty, their property, aud the civil right*
now vested in them abcording to tho Mexican
law*. It ascured to them similar political rights
with tbo inhabitants of the other territories of the
lUailed States, aud at least equal to the inliabitaut*
-of Louisiana and Florida when they were in a ter
ritorial condition. It then proceeded to guaranty
that ecclesiastic* and religious corporations should
be protected in the discharge of the offices of their
.ministry and the enjoyment of their pro|ierty of
■•very kiud, whether ii dividual or corporate, aud
fluidly, tbit there should be a free communication
bblweuii the Catholic* of the ceded territories and
their ecclesiastical authorities, “even although
such authorities should reside within the limits of
the Mexican republic, as defined by tbit treaty.”
The math article of the treaty, ns adopted by.
the Senate, is much more comprehensive in its
tonus, and explicit iu its meaning, and it clearly
The protocol contains nothing from which it can
be inferred that the assignee conld rightfully de
mand tbepayuieut of the money, in cose the con
sideration should fail, which is stated uu the face
of the obligation.
With this view of the protocol, and considering
that the explauatious which it contaiued were iu
accordance with the treaty, I did uot deem it' nec
essary to take auy action upon the subject. Had
it varied from the terms of tbe treaty us amended
by the Seuato, although it would oven then have
been a nullity iu itself, yet duty might have re
quired that 1 should make this fact known to the
Mexican Government. This not beiug the case, I
treated it in the same manner 1 would have done
had these explanations been made verbally by tbe

embraces, iu cowparn'iveiy few words, all tbe
guaranties iu.-ei tec iu the origiual article. It is as
follows: “.Mexicans who, in the territories afor
esaid, shall uul preserve the character of citizens
of the Mexican republic, couiarinnbly with what
is stipulated iu the preceding article, shall be in
corporated iuto Ike Union of the United States, and
be admitted at the proper time (to be judged of
by tho Congress of the Duited States) to llie en
joyment ol all the rights of citizens of the United
States, according to Uto principle* of the constitu
tion ; uud iu the uteau ume shall be maiiitniued
•mi protected iu tbo free eqjoyeieut of their liber
ty aud projierty, and secured iu the free exercise
of their religion without restriction." This arti
cle, which was substautmUy copied from the
Louisiau > treaty, provides equally with the oiigi-
nsl article fur the mUuissieu uf these inhabitants
lulu the Uuion; aud iu the meantime, whilst
they shall remain iu a territorial state by one
sweeping provision, declares that they “shall be
maintained aud protected in the fro* enjoyment
of their liberty aud property, aud secured in the
/roe exercise of their rehgiou without restriction.”
This gurauty embraces every kiud of property,
whether held by aariesiastscs or laymen, whether
belougiug to curpwatious or individuals. It se
cures to iheseiubabitaul* the true exercise of their
religion without restriction, whether they choose
to place themselves uuder the spiritual authority

the ceded territories, ft was, it it .presumed, to

triction” to the religious guaranty contained in the
corresponding article of the Louisiana treaty. Con

raised llie coramun wealth of Athens In a proud
pre-emlueuce in the fine arts, iu 'general culture,

villiticd. And the biographer iulorus us that a
certain “Cleou, making use of the geueral resent
ment against Pericles, attacked him with great
acrimouy, as a means to increase bis own populari
ty.” Mow many Clemu are there among us,
taking advantage of Mr. Calhoun's present “bad

It requires no reasoning nor studied example to

The Sonilicrn Sleeting.
Mr. Editor.—It is with unaffected reluctance,
that! ask a place in your columns, for the purpose
of replyiug to an editorial which appealed in the
Journal and Messenger yesterday commenting on
the resolutions adopted at the “Southern Meeting 1
on Saturday last. I am impelled to this course
however, because I appear, by tbe published re
port of tbe Secretaries, as the resporsible author
of those resolutions; because I voted with the
majority against tbe motion to emasculate tho fifth
and because I do not choose to occupy the false po
sition of conceding to the North all that the “wild
est anti-slavery fanatic could desire.” I forbear
to remark upon tbe palpable inconsistencyof com
mending the resolutions, as iu tbe main, temperate
and rational, and in the next breath denouncing
them as a “virtual abandonment of tbe true posi
tion of the South;” but proceed at once to shew,
that the resolutions are uot inconsistent with them
selves, aud, that in neither one, is the constitution
ality of the proviso admitted, or “the willingness of a
majority of ihemeeting to see the constitution viola-
cd, erpreared." Tbisobargoof inconsistency iu my
judgement, remits from a singular misapprehen
sion of tbe true intent and meaning of tbe resolu
tions which have provoked the contumely of edi.
tonal criticism. The fifth resolution asserts no
principle. It was not intended to make such as
sertion by its author, nor was it so understood by
tbe committee who unanimously voted its adop
tion.
The principle for which tbe South has always
contended, is set forth in plain aud unequivocal
terms in tbe third resolution, whilst the fifth mere,
ly contemplates some possible futare action on the
part of tbe South, iu case that principle is violated
to tbe delrimeut of the South.' The resolutions in
question read—
3d. Resolned, That tbe government of the Ter
ritories was committed to Congress by tbe Consti
tution, as agent or trustee, ior the beuefit of all
tbe States, whose common property they are; aud
that Congress has no right to manage the trust-
subject for the benefit of one party in interest to
the detriment of auolher. The passage, therefore,
of any law by tbe General Government, by which
slavery shall be interdicted in auy Territory now
belongieg, or which may hereafter beloug, to the
United States, we denounce as an unjust discrimi
nation in favor of one portion of the Confederacy
and against another; as a flagrant usurpation of
power aod a wanton abuse of the trust confided to
its charge.”
“ 5tb. Resolved. That if, in disregard of every
principle uf justice, of constitutional right aud of
fraternal feeliug, tbe fearful issue shall be forced
upon tbe country, which must result from the adop
tion by Congress, of the Wilmot Proviso as ap
plied to all territaty acquired and to be acquired,
I repeat, Messrs. Editors, that it is paiuful
me—“ a young man aud a stranger iu a strange
land ”—thus to be drawn iuto this discussion,
have felt it my duty, however, to say thus much
aud ia justice to myself aud those who acted with
me, I could uot say less. With this communica
tion then, I leave the subject to the candid and
calm judgnent o! an impartial public.
WM. H. ANDERSON,
February 15lb, 1849.
As this is a discussion in which (if the public
feel any interest at all) the whole public are in
terested, I have deemed it proper to seud a copy
of this communication to the editors of both poli
tical papers of this city for insertion in tbeir col
umns. \Y. H. A.
th« people of Georgia will most heartily pledgo
to tlieir Southern brethren, their cordial co-opera
tion in any aud all means aod measures of redress,
which the collected wisdom of all may devise.”
Now, what is the Wilmot Proviso T It is a pro
vision of law excluding slavery from all territory-
now belougiug or which may hereafter beloug to
tbe United States. These are the express terms
of the ordinace, and the words iu the 5tb reso
lution, (“ as applied to all territory acquired and to
he acquired,”) may be regarded either as surplus
age, or as descriptive of the Proviso. In the third
resolution then, we declare it unconstitutional, and
in the fifth, threaten resistance iu the eveut of its
adoption. Now, where is the inconsistency 7 But
take the ether view of the question. Admit,
which I do most cheerfully, that the fifth resolu
tion omits to threaten resitance to Ibe application
of the Proviso to a part of the territory. Is it at
all inconsistent to declare that ordinance unconsti
tutional. and yet omit to threaten forcible resist
ance to its enactment, ualess we be injured there
by I In other words, is the simple failure to threat
en resistance to au unconstitutional act. “ an ad
mission of its constitutionality,” or an expression
of williuguess to see the Oouslitoliou violated! If
so, then will I confess to tbe grossest ignorance of
the simplest words iu our language. Tbo third
resolution declares the Proviso unconstitutional—
tbe fifth merely contemplates possible resistance
in tbe event of its adoption without coin promise,
without a fair aud reasonable concession to the
just demands of the South. This is the plain and
obvious meaning of the resolutions, and “ iu tbe
names of all tbe Gads at ouce,” where is the in
consistency T
Suppose the M issouri compromise shall be adopt
ed by by Congress 1 By tbe express terms of that
ordinance, tbe principle of the Wilmot Pro vise is
applied to all territoiy lying above the line of 36°
30’ North latitude; and yet does any one man
South of Mason and Dixon’a liue, propose to re
sist that compromise? Dues tbe editor of tbe
Journal, even iu tho madness of his zeal fur South
ern rights, contemplate such resistance? On tbe
contrary, is he uot tbo avowed advocate of that
compromise, aud has not the whole South been
pledged, since 1819, to abide by it* principles 7

then, aud all idea of compromise is excluded, re-

DR.SWAYNE’S COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD
CHERRY.
_ This medicine has now been before the pnblic some
eight years, and is the original preparation from the
Wild Cherry Tree. Its reparation ns a remedy for
coaghs, colds, bronchitis, and consamption of tbe lungs
based entirely upon its intrinsic merits, owes bat lit
tle to inflated newspaper puffs. Those who give it a
trial, being benefited by it, recommend it to their
neighbor*, and thus gradually and surety has it gained
an enviable repatatiou, and worked its way into gene
ral use. One bottle never fails to care a recentcongh
or cold, while, with strict attention to the directions
that accompany each bottle, its use in pulmonary dis
eases of long standing, and of the most alarming char-
actor, has always given relief, and in very many in
stances has effected complete and permanent cares.
But, beware! the base impostors that would desecrate
this tree,
By their Paragoric curses, and their rhyming ribaldry.
Who bottles Paragoric, and then calls it, through de
ceit,

Remember that Dr. Swayne’s Compound Syrup of
Wild Cherry is the original and only genuine prepara
tion of Wild Cheny. Observe particularly, that the
signature of Dr. H. Swayce is on each bottle, without
which none can be genuine. Some persons may tell

Tbe objection to tbo tenth article of tbo original
treaty was not that it protected legitimate titles,
which our laws would bavo oqaally protected
without it, but that it most uujustly attempted to
resutciate grants which bad become a mere nulli
ty, by allowing the grantees tbo same period, after
the exchange of tho ratifications of tho treaty, to
•which they had been originally entitled after tho
date of their grants, for the purpose of performiug
tho conditions on which they had boon mado. In
submitting tbe treaty to the Senate, 1 bad recom
mended the rejection of tbit article. That por
tion of it in regard to brads in Texas did not re
ceive a single vote. in the Senate. This informa
tion was communicated by the letter of the Becre-
. tary of Slato to tho Mieistor for Foreign Affairs of
.Mexico, nud was iu possettiuu of the Mexican Go-
rmvment during tho whole period the treaty was

had been instructed that “neither the President

thereby intimatiug his assent to an equitable com

I am happy to learn, Messrs. Editors, that “ all

undented amid the storm which may burst npon
her fallen fortunes. But I apprehend that neither
be, nor any other man, ran adjust this question, if
the doctrines contended for by the editor of the
Journal & Messenger shall prevail. Establish the
doctrine tnat the principle of the Proviso shall net
apply to any portion of the territory, and every
attempt at an amicable settlement must furerer
fail, because tbe only hope of settlement is in com
promise and mutual concession.
It has been said, Messrs. Editors, that tbe hope
of making party capital possessed tbe members of
both political parties in tbe meeting of Satorday.
I am unwilling to beliove that this suspicion is
well fouuded iu iu application to any one, either
Whig or Democrat. For myself, I need not dis
claim any such motive, because, upon the motion
of Mr. Chapman, I spoke and voted iu opposition
to my political friends. I claim to be a Whig—a
“ Whig upon principle,”—a Whig iu thorough aud
decided, perhaps, ns any in tho Btate; but 1 will
not, for the sake of any party, lend myself to the

to party. It is high aliovoall party considerations

Wild Cherry anil SarsaimrillaPills.
Da LE ROY’, a Licentiate of the Royal College of
Physicians iu London, having used in his private prac
tice, for a number of years, the Wild Cbeny nnd Sar
saparilla, at length made an extract of them, which,
with other vegetables, he has combined iu one of the
best Pills ever made known to the European commu
nity, aud which met the attention of the Americas
people. They are the most efficacious purgative atd
tonic yet discovered.
THE WILD CHERRY
is tin excellent tonic, possessing astringent and aro
matic properties, which make it valuableiu Dy'speosia.-
Jauudice, Weakness of the Stomach and Chest.
THE SARSAPARILLA
is demulcent, dienrettc nnd soothing, and is given in
Rheumatism, Scrofula, diseases of the Skin, aud to
eradicate the had effects of Mercury. In the opera-
tions of all Other purgative Medicine* debilitation and
parificaiion go hand iu hand; they remove the good as
well g» the bad, thus weakening the system which
they were only required to cleanse, nud making the
cure, generally, almost as had, and freqnently much
worse, than the disease. Dr. Le Roy’s Pills, on the
contrary, streiigthcu and tone the system which they
purge and purify. And this is their peculiar attribute
and the principal cause of their unrivalled popularity.
P.-S. The virtues of tbe Sarsaparilla and Wild Cher
ry are too well known to medical men and the com
munity to require further detail.

B HE SOltllERKER.
T HE above is the name adopted fora weekly news
paper, of the size of the Columbus Times or Con.
stilutioualis: of Augusta, which will bv established at
Rohe, GA., by S. Fouche, as Editor, and A. Hood,
wbo have jointly pnrehased The Georgia Pioneer lor
this purpose.
1 he first number of the Southernor will be issued
on the first of March. Itis our purpose to establish a
journal worthy to be considered an organ of the Repub
lican Party, not only of our section, hot of the entire
State and the whole South.
In Constitutional interpretations we are strict con
structionists. We are advocates for the most com
plete freedom of labor, and for the most unrestricted
freedom of trade, both foreign and internal. For the
absolute equality of nil eUizeus before the law, and of
the States ns members Of the Union—for the preier,
vntionofthp Union upon the principles and the terms
on whicli it was fonoded. We are against every thing
which conflicts with these cardinal principles and ob
jects. Against monopoly in all its Protean forms, no
matter whether its chartered privilege* are the off
spring of state or federal legislation.
We are the friends alid advocate* of sound public
morals; of a liberal diffusion of the means of education
among tbe people, and of pare and nude filed religion.
These great interests, will, at all times, command our
most cordial and zealous support.
We shall avail ourselves of our position at the ter
minus ofa longlitie of Rail Road, to obtain from the
cities on the seaboard the earliest Commercial Intel
ligence, and to keep oar patrons constantly advised of
the state of prices in Jlie several cities to which tljey
trade, and'in foreign markets.
Regarding Agriculture as the most useful, and
therefore tho most honorable of human pursuits, aud
as t’ie basis of all individual and national wealth, it
will occupy a prominent place in our thoughts, and
the columns of Our journal. We do not come from the
North to teach agriculture to the South. We are our
selves native Southrons, and have a practical acquain
tance with the ’’coru-field” and “cotton patch.”
We come before the public at a period of profound
interest and tcilicitode, in its political and social as
pects, both at home nnd abroad. We start with tho
advent ofa new Administration of the Federal Gov
ernment; and at an era of revolution in the Commer
cial, Sooial and Political systems of Europe.
Onr position, politically is with the Republican—
the Democratic or popular party: commercially, with
the advocates of freedom of labor and of trade: nnd
geographically iu tbo heart of the political Flanders
or battle gronud of Georgia nnd Alabama—a country
of wonderful Agricultural and Manufacturing capaci
ties, aud of vast mineral resources. We ask from our
friends, and the friends ofoar principles, cvety where
South, a support commensurate with the value of
thoso principles, aud the importance of our position.
We shall spare uo effort to merit all we ask.
Our terms will be for a single copy of the Southernor
£2 in advance, 82 50 within the year, and 83 if not
paid within the year. Address
