Editors. In order that the Sontbern
ff* m*J be clearly understood, and that the
m i»ht understand the precise circumslan
iheirown aitaation at this time, let ua look
C *V’ ; taken glance at the action of the Cod-
^.■oa which framed the Constitution. A knowl-
*'«of the rio,r> * nd °P inion “' uader wlftcb U
formed. will enable all to pot a proper con-
'I' -tion upon the conttitation, oar right* a* ostab
1 1D j guaranteed, and tho propriety of that
whicb i» proposed to bo done under k the present
^anutaoce* at Washington. **
In the confederation which nnited the State* da-
.. the revolution, tho State* voted by States—
fS fh having one vote. In the convention to frame
Constitution, the question arose as to the votos
ijp gtate* in the Senate and House of Repre-
H -utives. " Thi* was a question between tbo
£ .,atand small Slotcs, and it created longand vio
let debate*, particnlarly with respect to tie leprrT
lion and vote or the State*. The small State*
iftir tome debate, contented that the right or suf-
ftire in tho House. .bonld be in proportion to the
whole number of white or other Free citizens in
Mcb, including those boond to service for n term
o' rear*, and three-fifth* of all oiler person*; i. e..
d* slave* 7 While they yielded thi* point, they
ittisusd cm an equal rote in the Sennte." - To thi*
the large Statea were unwilling to assent;-and on
this question the State* remained for a time eqnal.
Ij divided." The question was again brought
op, on a motion of Mr. ElUworth, “ that in each
branch, each Slate should late an eqnal vote."—
This produced another long and warm dabatp.—
Jo support of hit motion, Mr. ElUworth said, “I
confess that the effect of this measure ia, to make
th« General Government, partly Federal .end part
ly Rational. This will secure tranquility, and atill
make it effectual; and it will meet the objections
of the larger Statea. If all the Statea are to ex
ist, they must necessarily have an eqnal tote in the
General Government. Small commnuitiea when
associating with greater, can only be supported by
ao equality of votes.** “ In the hour of common
j,. g .ra we waited at equate, ah all it now be urged
(,y some, that we mnat depart from thta principle-
when the dangor ia overt Will the world aay
(Us itj'asf f We then associated as free and inde
pendent States, and were well satisfied.” Mr
Madison, after Mr. Baldwin had spoken, remark
ed •< I would always exclude inconsistent princi
ples in forming a system of Government. The
difficulty of getting it* defects amended are great,
and sometimes insurmountable. The Virginia
Government was the first which was *tnade, and
its defects are evident to every person, we cannot

tempts to amend their system, without success—
Tbs few alterations made in it were hy tumult

real dangers, I wonld giro the small Statea the
defensive weapon. Bat there is' none from that
quarter. Tie great longer to oar General Govern'

th* vote* in Congress and most of them stand di-

•• that gentlemen have said that if this amendment

minority should refuse their assent to the new
plan of General Government, and if they will
have their own will, nnd without it separate the
Union, let it be done; bat we shall stand support

diately replied, by saying that •• notwithstanding
the admirable and close reasoning of the gentle

ford expressed himself with great warmth, and

said, I am concerned from what fell from the gen-
tleinan—** take a foreign power by lie land ! I am
sorry he mentioned it, aad I hope "be is able to ex-
cnsehimselfon the score of passion.” Toward*
the close of this interesting debate, Dr. Fraqklin*
then at the advanced age of eighty-two, rose and
addressing himself to the Chair, said, ” It has gi
ven mo great pleasure to observe that ’till this
point, the proportion of repretenlation, cam* before

ness and temper. If nor thing of a contrary kind
has on thi* occasion appeared, I hope it will not

to contend with each other; and declaration* of

itiveness and warmth on one side naturally beget
their liko on tho other; and tend to create and
augment discord and division in a great concern
wherein harmony and union are extremely neces
sary to give weight to onr councils, and render
them effectual in promoting and securing the com.
mongood.*' Mr. Sherman said, we have got to a
po>nt that wo cannot move one way or the other*
a committee is necessary to set ns right. Mr. Ger
ry observed, *• the world expected loroething of
them, if we do nothing, we mnst have war and
confusion. The old confederation wcnld bo at an
end. Let us see if concessions cannot be made;
accommodation is absolutely necessary, and de*
frets may be amended by a future Convention-
Dr. Franklin moved that prayers should he alten.

lived, sir, a long time; and the longer I live, the
more convincing proofs I see of this troth, "that
God govern* the qffair* of man.'
A Committee was chosen by ballot, consisting
of one from each State, and tho Convention ad*
journed for throe days. Fortunately the Commit
tee, hy way of compromise, agreed upon a report
which was made on the day to which the Conven
tion had adjourned. They recommended two
propositions on the express condition that both
should be generally adopted. Ono proposition
was. that in the first branch of the Legislature,
each of the States now in the Union bo allowed
one member for every forty thousand inhabitants,
(of the description as reported before and will be
hereafter,) that each State not containing thatnum-
her, shall be allowed one member. Having thus
settled the great qnestion of representation of the
States in the National Legislature, the Convention
proceeded to organize this great department more
in detail. The Representatives were to be cho
sen every two year*, and the number designated
for the first Congress wan sixty.five. They were
afterwards to be apportioned among the States, ac
cording to their respective numbers, which was
to be determined by adding to the whole noraber
of Free persons, including those bound to service
fora term of years, excluding Indians not taxed*
three-fifth* of all other person*, (i. e. slavesj—this
great difficulty as to equality and representation of
slavery, having been overcome, tbe Constitution
was soon completed; and Gen. Washington, at
President of the Convention, enclosed it in a lat
ter, which he addressed to Congress, of which the
following is an extract: "It is obviously impracti
cable in the Federal Government of these States,
to secure all the rights of independent sovereignty to
each, and yet provide for the interest and safety of
alb Individuals entering into societies, must give
up a share of liberty to preserve tho rest. It i (
at all times difficult to draw with precision, the
line between those rights which must be snrren.
dered, and those which may be reserved. And on
the present occasion, thi* difficulty was increased
by a difference among tbe several States, as to
their situation, extent, habit* and particular inter,
eils." From this sketch of tho debates, and this
extract from the communication of tbe venerable
Washington, enclosing the, Constitution to Con
gress, it is perceived, that the adjustment of the
rights between the States was full, and in accor
dance with their relative interest* and circumstan
ces. The constitution as it is, was the Union—
without it there could have been no Union at that
time—nor should there be, without it at any time.
The debates show that eqnaNly between the States
was the great principle which was intended tq
govern, and the one which each State seemed most
pertinaceons in preserving; and that Slavery in tbe
arrangement, was not only legalized, but repre
sented - in tbe government, and represented that it
might be tbe more securely protected, Under
these circnmstances can it be proper for the North
to try on account of slavery, to shot the Sonth oat
of territory .won by the joint treasury .aud the nnited
arms of tbe North, and the South? Ami will it
be proper for tbe South to snbmit to any attempt
to deprive her of ber equality, and her joint right
to territory, gained by the jofnt treasure and joint
forces? If not. bow cautbeSontb submit without
dishonor, to the proposed compromise 7 If the
North have a right to enforce one infriugemnut op
the Conttitation and Southern Rights, will she not
claim others 7 Or, if shells* no right, as is the
fact, bnt is allowed to curtail the rights of tbe
South in one respect, will tbe not in another 7 And
if the Sonth submit to one, or two, or three, as
she has clone, will it not be harder to resist a fourth
infringement of her rights; and if she submit* to
th* fourth, a* is now pressed apon her, where wilj
the infringement* stop, or how can they stop, on.
less she unite* and resists them 7 The danger to
the South i* not in resisting these encroachments;
bnt ber greater danger is in yielding to these com
promises in disgnise. The Constitution wss the
limit to which tho wisdom and firmness of our
Revolutionary father* thought they could with
saiety submit—are we wiser.

Tbe Question of flic Bay.
riotarcb takes notice of a very remarkable law
of Solon's which declared every man infamous
who in any civil dissension in tbo State should con
tinue nenter and refate to side with either party.
Tbe reason assigned for this law was, that no citi
zen was at liberty to affect a brutal insensibility
to the distress and calamities of hit conntry; bnt
that bo should immediately jniu tbe honcster and
jnster party and rather risk bit all in defence of
the tide he had espoused, than keep aloof from
danger nntil he saw which party proved the stron
ger. The penalty annexed to this law was con
fiscation of the effects and banishment o( the de
linquent. Thi* law hat never in terms been re
enacted by any other - Government, yet founded
as it plainly is npou that relation which every in
dividual sustains to the community, and the inter
est which every individual it supposed to have
in the good oT tho whole community. It has been
virtually introduced and received in every free
conntry. IUgarded in this light, tbe decree or
tbe great Athenian law giver, is in full force here,
and no one desires its exclusion.
It cannot be denied that tbe opposittion of the
non-slaveholding States to the institution of slave
ry has produced a civil dissension in the Union.—
It is equally clear that one-half of the Confederacy
is ranged under the anti-slavery, while tbe other
half is marshalled under the slavery banner.
But what has produced thi* collision, the conse
quences of which aro so much dreaded by the
friends of constitutional liberty 7 It cannot be de
nied that it has been produced mainly by tho pas-
sage of joint resolutions through the Legislature*
of the non-sleveboiding State* protesting in tbo
name of the people of those States agsinst tbe
extension of African slavery to territory now free,
as they contend—and instructing their members
of Congress to vote against tho extension of tho
area of alsvery. True to list policy the non-slave-
holding States, conscious ol their own strength,
and seeing the weakness of tbe Sonth, now seek
to exclode slavery from the whole of the terri
tory lately acquired from Mexico. Tho slave
states mill tbia policy.contending that tbit territory
is tbo common property of people of tho United
States, and that therefore no human power can
rightfully without their consent, exclude them or
their property therefrom. This is thetrnoground
of difference between the Northern and Southern
Sections of the Union—considering the vast extent
of territory acquired from Mexico, nnd the field
that will consequently arise for the application of
this Northern policy, wo may reasonably calculato
repoated collisions, between the North and South
upon this subject. In a former number I throw
ont tho suggestion that wo should avoid all unne
cessary agitation of Ms question, bnt I did not
mean to exclude its temperato discussion aud yon
may, therefore, probably hear from mo again.
Allow mo to add in conclusion that I an not pre
pared to snbmit to an illegal usurpation of tbe
land conquered from Mexico, and yet I do not
court tho fate of Caasra*. who. yon will recollect a .
for proposing to divido two-thirds of the Roman , L’mon, their law cannot bo biodiug on the individ-
i- * m —- -* - * -.* -s -*— *» —i-i — u& [ States. With these feels aDd principle!
tcoMMUSICATED-l
To tlie Southern members of Congress*
A crisis has arrived, which threatens to overturn
the principles of onr Government, and if they
should be upset, it would be better for the South to
take her position at once, as an independent Gov
ernment, among the nations of the earth. You
arc on the battlements and in the outposts, and to
your wisdom and firmness, are entrusted thepros-
perity, the happiness, and the honor of yonr con.
stitnents—and possibly tbeir lives. The virtuous
forbearance of the Sonth towards the North, and
tbe liberal concessions she has already made, to
preserve peace and the Union, places you high on
tbe vantage ground. Yon can stand firmly in your
position, without the possibility of a charge of
desire of disunion being established against the
Sonth, however slanderers may rail. That posi.
tion should be the extension of the Missouri Com
promise line, tie last concession and compromise
tie South made, and should ever male, to the en
crouching, grasping, faithless spirit of the North-—
The principle of oar Government is, equality be
tween tbe States, and sections of tbe conntry, a 9
well as between tbe individuals: which tbe con
stitntiou was established to regulate, protect, and
preserve. And the modeoi operation waslbrongh
checks and balances. Jt is vonrdoty to keep this
machinery in order, aud to see that it runt true
and plumb. To render tbe Stales eqnal and se
cure in their rights, it was found .necessary, from
the sparse population of tbe agricultural States,
to have slavery represented in tbe gqvernment for
its protection.and to make it part and parcel of
the government. Although this was agreed upon
in the Convention of the States, which formed the
constitntion, and was ratified by every State Le
gislature then in the Uuion, the North, from tbe
first, whether to gratify feelings of jealonay and
envy, or the desire of self-aggrandizement, or to
iodolge that spirit of arrogance, which presumes
itself better and superior to the South, and more
capable of directing tbe policy of this Republic,
have been endeavoring to disturb tbe relative pro
portions of power between tbo North and South
as adjusted by the Constitution. As a means of
effecting this object, they have tried the money
power, in a great Bank, and in .regulating the tax
es, and having failed, after some success with these
measures, they have now seized upon the subject
of slavery as the fulernm with which they pro.
pose to push tbe South from the platform of equal
ity. They commenced with tbe ordinance of
1787, by which they shut tbe South and slavery
out of tbe Northwestern territory, slave territory
yielded by Virginia after tbe revolution, to tbe
General Government, fur tbe general benefit.—
They followed this up by severe contests in the
Convention, for supremacy through the arrange
ment of the constitntion; and by the Missouri
Compromise, by which, they also sbnt the 8outb
outof a large portiou-of the Louisiana acquisition,
slave territory too. and again ont of a portion of
Texas, also slave territory, they have all of Ore
gon, and now, they want all of California, and
Now Mexico, and Utah too. They say. these last
territerities, won by tbe joint land and joint forces
and received as indemnity for general injury, are
free, and mnst remain (roe, from southern slavery,
and tbe Sunth to bo shut out, notwithstanding the
Constitntion. Slavery being carried there, wonld
not affect the individual rights of the origiualCal
ifornians, nor materially their circumstances; there
fore this is all fudge, and looks like tbe shift and sub
terfuge ol the lawyers, of whom we have too mn
ny in Congress. If the principles and regulations
of the Moxican Government prevail over the Con
stitntion in this respect, they would in others more
obnoxiously, and thus may, and wonld be npset
the principles and very foundation* ot onr asso
ciation. No! the north, notwithstanding their
faithlessness, feel themselves iao pare, to come in
contact with southern shivery, (although they are
the author* of it.) except to get their money, and
therefore tbe South shall not jostle and contnmin-
ate them; i. e. the North most have, and will take
tbe whole. Now. it is your duty to prevent this
robbery. That rule is not a good one, which doe*
not work both wavs- They have in every instance
bad a portion, and a largo portion too, of all slave
territory, which has by concession, or pnrolinse,'
or annexation, or by victory and treaty, fallen to
the United States: and now. having grown bold
er and more insatiate, from the freqnent conces
sions of the South, thet demand the whole. To
which demand tii*8ooth now replies, through you
their representative*, “wecan concede no mrn-r.
Bnt as - we have acquiesced in tho Missouri com
promise line, and itsextension tlirnngh Texas, T.ou
may continue it to tbe Pacific; but we must yield
not another iota to these arrogant and outrageous
demands of the North." Tbe South have made
concession enough,'more than her share. What
good is to result from farther concession? None,
when conceding to such a party a* the Nor h. who
only propose and agree to such propositions, as,
at the time, suit their own interest* and conven
ience, to bo repudiated as soon as they, think them
selves able to grasp more. The Missouri Com
promise was theirown proposition, not accepted
by tbe South, only acquiesced in by ber for tho
sake of peace and quiet. But the North have
gained more strength, and changed ber views and
now she demands more, and presses for more, re
gardless of her own compromises, and of the re
monstrances of tho South.
0nr revolutionary fathers saw farther than wo
do; and considered the constitution tho limit to
which they coold with safety concede. They
saw that to yield farther would put tbe checks
aud balance* for tbo protection of just rights out
of gear, and create a majority, which would • ty
rannize over the minority. The result* of.our
Missouri and Tariff compromise*, show how
transient are tho continuance of snch arrange
ment* with the North; and what ha* followed
shows still farther the snperiative wisdom of
our ancestors in resisting .unjust demands, anil
tho futility of our expecting from concessions
peace and security for remaining rights. Every
thing shows us that concession will not answer.—
The principles, spirit and temper ol our North
ern Brethren cannot appreciatesthe feelings and
the views which induced tbe 8onth to concedo
so often. It buf leads, with them to fariher ag-
gression- After reviewing the history of our Union,
tbe South say to you. its representative*, if you
hopo to be supported, oppose tbe compromise or
adjustment bill, take your stand on the Missouri
compromise, in which she has acqnieaced. Do not
tell us like the unscrupulous Washington letter
writers, that it cannot be had, nor maintained;
bnt contend for it, as for, tho Union with the samo
stern honesty, with which our forefathers contend
ed on the battle fields with their foes, and in tho
confederated councils, with their friends. Do not
tell us that persistence will cause rupture with onr
brothers—go on, fotlow tho holy example of our
revolutionary fathers. They did not yield because
their father* and brothers were their opponents;
but on tho contrary contended with them as with
tho most direfol foe for their right*. Do not tell
nslhatrnin and desolation will follow, bat go on.
Did oar revolutionary fathers believe and follow
the opinions of tho politicians of their day, who
told them, that they mnst, if they resisted, be over-
wbelmedby tbeimraensepowerof Britain 7 They
did not; bnt with the baiter, and the gallows, and
death stareing them in their faces, they recollect
ed their own rights, and that or their posterity,
and dared under those risks to contend for and i
maintain them; even though against their fathers - t8 sm
and brothers. It will, after what has passed, be L ‘ ,
foolish weakness for the South to concede uny ( to oiler i
more. Let the North take warning. She derives , trarncs to day
the greatest benefit from the Uuion. Her wise
and great men know it, and know too, that with
out the agricultural productions of southern slavo-
ry to support ber shipping, her commerce and ner,
manufacture*, they must dwindle. And the South
should know aud feel, that if this Union should be
dissolved, that she will only require energy and
perseveranco to become tho great nation of Amer
ica. She has all tho material* to support an ex
tended commerce, and to establish extensive man
ufactures. If therefore, onr Northern brethren
will infringe the constional rights of the south,
and will destroy onr equality, they will virtually,
if not literally dissolve the Union, aud absolve ns |
from alt allegiance to their government. These
States united themselves to bo governed on cer
tain terms, and according to certain modes of go
vernment, and if they do not observe the tennsof
Inf.lueuzo and Cousumptlou.
It is indeed a melancholy truth, that thousands fall
victims to consumption every year from no other
cause thau neglected colds.-yet wefiud hundreds, nay
thousands.vrbo treat such complaints with the great

months, without thinking of the danger. A c drat,
yonliave wliatyou consider a slight cough or cold;
you allow business, pleasure or carelessness to pre
vent you frem giving it any attention; it than settles
upon yourhreast, you become hoarse, have pains in
the sido or chest, expectorate large quantities of mat
ter, perhapn mixed with blood: a difficulty of breath
ing ensues, and then you find your own foolish neglect
has brought on this complaint. If, then, you value
your life or health, be warned in time, and don't trifle
with vour colds, or trust to any quack nostrum to cure

D URING the year just eluant, about twenty thou
sand viaisot Dr. Littles' Vermifuge have been |
sold, in addition to that in dollar bottles To be kept
and used in families, nothing is so valuable, or will so ,
often save trouble and expense. Worms in children,
even when half grown, or adults, are a source of dis- j
ease much oftener than most persons are nware of. '
Complicated afleettoos, glandular enlargi monk oi the
bowels, spinal irritations, fits, Ac. are very frequently 1
cured now by its use Dr.8. of Talbotcounty not loug -
since gave it under these circumstances: a negro wo- j
man. the mother of several children, complained oc- '
casionaliy lor several months of a violent psin about
tbe stomach, for which many things were given with
only temporary relief. At length one of the attacks
became so aggravated as to require two tea spooas
full of laudanum, which happily produced vomiting,
when a large worm .was ejected. Having a dollar
bottle of the Vermifuge on hand, recourse was had to
it immediately in about doable doses for children, af
ter a few houra use an enormous quantity of worms
were expelled to tho entire cure of the patient.
It might be mentioned by way of example, how
mnch of this medicine is used, Unt in the same coun
ty five or six hundred vials and about two hundred
bottles have been sold. In Monrue county a similar
quantity lias been taken,besides agents at adistance
have had from two to three gross of it. ...
Out of five or six different materials of which it is
composed, not one contains the least deleterious pro-
perries imaginable, either before or after it is combin
ed. Having gained so high a reputation, and in many
instances so much praised, that Dot a few are trying
to fiod oat its composition. The public, therefore, is
cautioned to look well to the signature, aud of whom
they purchase, unless it is of a regular agent or some
responsible merchant, who bays it for retailing. Ma
ny of tbe most respectable physicians of the State
( irescribe or recommend it in tbeirpractice, and doubt
ess many more would, but for a little false pride that
it might injure their professional interest. Be this,
however, as it may, none, it is hoped, are so doltish as
to with Dr. L. to vend medicines made abroad embla
zoned with quackery and deception as a general rule,
when be himself prepares a few for family nse that
are not surpassed, if equalled by any one. As socie
ty advances and becomes more intelligent, it seeks
for the common remedies that are really gpod and well
prepared for particular affections, and no one should
attempt to thwart it. To this ground mainly, has Dr.
Little assigned his Pharmacuticel Medicines, aud so
far from being opposed to tbe profession of medicine,
on the contrary lie looks upon it as the pride and nr
nament of tbe county, elevated far above the bick
ering* about “sfecret preparationa.” In the pursuit
and toils of that profession he hss spent the vigor of
hit youth, and perhaps no one hat incurred greater
anathemas tbsn himselfin assisting to reerup the on-
ly medical institution that the State can boast of.
These Medicines families can use within themselves
with good success, sad if they fail, as_it must be the
case sometimes, then call in thetphysician. Indepen
dently of that. Dr. Little Has famished the most am
ple tescimony of his Remedies having cored many ca
ses in which every other, aa well as Doctor, had fail
ed in.
The Medicines arer
Anodyne Couch Drops.
For the cure of coughs, colds, astuma; alto, croup,

cheaper than any other.
ffingieorm'and Tetter Ointment.
A positive cure for ringworms, tetters, scald heads
and all rough, scurvy affections upon the skin, for ni
cer*. Ac. A single bottle is quite sufficient tor a cure
in most cases; but in scald heads, and some others
of long standing, it.musthe continued longer.
- Antacid.
Promotes digestion, corrects acidity of the stomach,
and oppresviou or tightness after meals, eructation of

indigestive symptoms will find thi* an invaluable rem

The French Mixture.
This i* prepared from a French recipe, that has
been much improved upon in this country, and from its

It is approved and highly recommended by Physicians
and i> admitted to be the most powerful and search-

ployed in medical practice. The unfortunate victim
of hereditary disease, with a woolen glands, contract
ed sinews and bones half carious, has been restored,
to he'oltband vigor. The scrofulous patient, covered
with oleera. loathsome to liimsetf and to his attend

many other complaints springing from a derangement
of the secretive ergans and the circulation, hove beeu

with regenerated constitutions, gladly testify to the

paration ofSsrsapsrillaondifferent persons in vari

isiana, Texas and Mexico, 1 feel mnch pleasure in
stating the high opinion entertained of its great medi
cal value. In my own case it acted almost like a
charm, removing speedily the enervated state of tbe
system, and exciting in the most agreeable manner, a
tonic and invigorating iufloence.
Yonr sarsaparilla is highly approvedand extensive

cousin Gen. Zachary Taylor, has for the past five years
been in tlie habit of usingit. and recommends thesamc
—he and myself adopted the article ac tbe same time,
and it it now considered an almost indispeusible" Ye
quisite in the Army. In conclusion I would say. that
the better it is known the more highly it will be priz
ed, and I trust that its lienlth restoring virtues will
make it generally known, throughout the length and
breadth of oar widely extended country.
Yours very respectfully, S. G. TAYLOR,
