Death of President Taylor.
It is with feelings of profound sorrow that we
record the doatb of Zachary Taylor, late Presi
dent of the United Slates, in Washington City, at
tbirtv-iive minutes alter Ton o’clock, on tho even
ing of lbo9th inst. With scarcely a premonitory
note—like the pestilence that walks abroad un
seen et noon-day, or as a tbief in tho night,—burno
by electrical agency, on tho wings of tlio wind, this
sad and startling intelligence fell upon the public ear
with stunning force, and will produce a profound
impression wherever it i* borne. What strango
destinies control our lives? Tho wsrriorwbobad
defied death in the dread strife of arms, on many
a well fought field, calmly and serenely siuks to
bis rest like oue who had fallen asleep. Hope
and ambition are bnt shadow*. lie who butyester
that tho'gi'd Ay* head looking om chiefly wondered why I day stood upon the height* of power, clothed with
and get delivered ail over tho world
SntMealy it struck six. 8bat Sesame! Perfectly
•till weather. Nobody there. No token of the lato
* inn—not a soul, too late! But what a chaos within!
Men up to their knees in newspapers on groat plat
forms; uien gardening among newipapers with rakes:
I *
ihtn digging tnd delving among newspapen as if a
new description of rock had
Hbecn blasted into those
I'ngmentt; men going up and down a gigantic trap—
|is ascending * I doseending room, worked by a
steam engine—still taking w ill: them nothing our
newspapers! All the history of the time, ail the citron
Me<l births, deaths and maniac. s, all the crimes, all
the accidents, ail tho vanities, all the changes, all the
realitiea of all th* civilised earth, heaped up, parcel
led out, carried about, knocked, down, cut, shuffled,
doalt, played. gathered up again, and passed from
sleeps beside the king—tho philosopher be
side the fool—the haughty owner of ‘-cattle
on a thousand bills,” beside the humbleit child
of penury—and the laurelled conqueror, beside
bis neglected and onbonored soldiery. What
an impressive commentary is here presented
upon the emptiness of ell human embitiou—
the vanity of all hnman pride, and how strikingly
illustrated the truth that
"Tho path of glory leads bet to tlio grave."
It is unnecessary tor u* to say, that we have dif
fered entirely with Ibe measures aud policy of
Teiupora NIittuulur et bos Rulamur.
Time changes, and wo change with time, saya
the old maxim, and a forcible illustration of its
troth may be found in the fact that the Journal &
Messeuger, Savannah Republican and papers of
that ilk have become the eulogists of Lewis
Cass. Wo will not repeat their denunciations of
this gentleman during the last Presidential
canvass. In 1843 General Cass, before he had
adopted his wild doctrine of squatter sove
reignty or repudiated the Missouri Compro
mise was held up by these pnpers as more
dangerous to tho South than the veriest aboli
tionist. Now, that Gen. Cats has repudiated the
construction put npon bis Nicholson letter by the
Southern Democracy aud upon which alone they
supported biro, aud it is insinuated that he is dis
loyal to the South the Journal is thrown into spasms.
But circumstances niter cases. To elect Taylor,
Cass most be villi lied as the rankest abolitionist, and
now to distract the South and provent the anion ot
her people for the protection of their rights and
property, be must be landed to the skies. This is
a right handsome game, but its shallowness is too
apparent to decive any one.
The election of Gen. Taylor in 1S<8’,—a South
ern man and a slaveholder, according to tbo Mes
senger was tho ouly salvation for the Suuth.—
Woll, this Southern man and slaveholder was
elected and what do we scot Scarcely a twelve
.month passes and even the Mosseuger is compel
led to repudiato the freo soil policy of this South
ern slaveholder. We have an idea that the day
has gone by when Ibe Messenger, and those who
in conjunction with it, contributed to briug the
present administration info power, can deceive the
Southern people into the support of measures that
will destroy their equality, aud rob them of every"
valuable right under the compact of Union be
tween tbe States.

Straw for lints.
■ In Italy the straw used for hats is made of rye,I
[ which ia sown on poor land, very tbiek, and it there-
I foru does not grow to above one-half of its usual also.
■ The rye straw used for braiding is cut near tho
I ground when the grain U in the milk. It is tied up
j in small bundles, the heads cutoif, and then it is dip
[pad in boiling water, aud pat oat to dry in the sun,
I taking care to take it in at night, aud allowing no
Mow to gat on It. When property dried it it cut into
I j.r.ipor lengths, drawn between tbe fingers with a
Ibhjittknile edge along the inside, and ia used either
I for tine-or coarso bonnets, as is desired. The tool |
I used for splitting straw is a piece of wood five inches
I long, with a series of sharp spnra near one end, with
I a wooden or metal spring over the spars—or, rather,
; one side of them—which ia pressed down upon thu
jsl ■ to keep it spread flat while it is drawn over the-
• js. *nd split.
- 3 Straw is bleached by wetting it,and patting into a
- tight box or barret with some sulphur placed on tbo
•a bottom of it. so as to allow tho straw to receive the
-2 Leo action of tbo aulubnroua vapor. Two-ounces of 1
M bar sulphur will bleach a pound of straw. Tho straw
B must be kept from tlio sides of tlio box, by laying it
on strips of wood running across the box or cask. It
U should not bo taken out of the sulphur box in less
II t iso than four boars. Old straw, leghorn, or palm
leaf hats or liounct*, may bo whitened in this way, if
|l they are thoroughly washed with a brush or sponge j
. J in soap suds, before smoking. Straw mast always
3 be wet.wnen U is braided, to prevent its breaking. I
■ An ingenious person can learn to braid or plait straw
I by taking a piece o( old braid, and wet it, and pick it
I » places, and then braid it again. When tho straw
I hats are dry. after being cleaned, they sresixed with
I aiso made of clean parchment parings boiled in water
I and tbeu hung out to dry; and are afterwards pressed
I with clean damp cloth os and hot irons,on blocks which
I fit then to the deairod shape. ■

Tricks of tho Clay Compromisers.
The Journal aud Messenger of last week con
tained what purported to be tbe proceeding* of a
meeting held in Pulaski county, on tho4th inst. in
favor of tbe Senates compromise. From , the fid
lowing, card from two gentlemen, residents of that
county, of undoubted veracity aud respectability,
it will be seen that no such me'etiug. was'fcver
held. Tbe Journal we tear, in its teaViu behalf of
the Clay Compromise has suffered 'itself to be im
posed on. It is certaiuly-if bad cause that re
quires such tricks to make the least show in its'fa-
vor. Wo hopo the proceeding* of this Tulaski
Meeting, have not been despatched to Washington
as an evidence of public seutiment iu Georgia.
HAWKINSVILLE, July 12, 1830
Messrs. Rat & Boss.
Gentlemen I see iu the last iasuo of the Jour
nal aud Messenger, of your city, an account of
what purports to be, tbe proceedings of a
"Compromise meeting in rulaski,” held on tho
4th inst., in which it was stated that addresses
were made by Mr.' Donnelly, and myself, and last,
ly, by Mr. II. K. Beers, who concluded bis ad
dress by offering Uie following resolutions, which
were adopted by a largo majority.
Resolved 1st. That we will favor the pasaage by
Congrers of ibe report of the cnmniilto of thirteen
commonly called Clay's Comprouiioo. For in it,
rests the harmony and perpetuity of the Union
Retolvrd, 2ud. That we oppose, or rather disre
gard, the proceeding* uf the Naabville Convention
for we bclievo its attempt* to oettle this question
have, aud will prove, a "signal failure.”
Retolccd, 3rd. That Congress has not tbe right
to legislate upon the subject of slavery, aud there
fore uo good will result from the Missouri Com
promise if adopted.
Raotved. -lth. That the proceedings of this
meeting be published iu the Georgia Telegraph and
Journal and Mcucngcr.
New, my object in addressing you, is to place
tbe county of Pulaski right, before the couutry on
this subject, and iu doing this, I will say, no such
meeting was ever held in ILtwkiusville, ami if
there had been, I have un doubt, but that tbo peo
ple of Pulaski would have stood square up to the
Missouriliue. I have some little knowledge nfthe
senliuiculof thiscouuty. aud from this knowledge,
I think, I two readily advise your readers, whig*
ami democrats, tho tlio people of Pulaski as a body
unite in sustaining tbo Missouri iiue, *• laid down
by the Nashville Convention. I have never heard
of but two men iu tha county, who were opposed
to that line, andiu favor of Clay’s Bill, and they 1
am persuaded, are not the exponents of tbe feel
inga of the people of the county, especially as the
Secretary of that meetiug is a nou-rxiatant, ou
which account, perhaps, wo may readily account
fot his attestation to proceedings that uever oc.
curred. Respectfully yours,
GEO. W. JORDAN.

Slavery in (lie Territories.
Tbe apologists of Clay’s Bill at the South, ere
endeavoring to persnndo the people that its pro
visions iu reference to the Territoriespf Now Mex.
ico and Utah, are most favorablo to the South, and
if passed, caunot fail to make these territories
slave holding communities. Tbe fidlowingextract
from somo remarks made by ono ot tbe peculiar
frieuds of this Bill, will show wbat construction
thoso who folly understand its designs, put Upon
its provisions respecting these territories.
Mr. UNDERWOOD. My opinion is, that when
we establish these territorial government*, aud
prohibit tbo local legislature from introducing or
excluding slavery, the Mexicau law excludes it
and makes it free soil; and my opinion is.it will
be free soil from the adoption of this bill. My
opinion is, that slavery cannot bo taken there tin
der tbe operation of this bill. That depends upou
the constitutional question which has been discus
sed here for tbo last three nr fimr years; which is,
whether the constitotion will carry slavery into
the Territories thus acquired or nut. My opiaiou
has been expressed two years ago, that it will not.
I know tho preponderance of sootbern men is
against that opinion; but tbo northern men are
unanimously in favor of tlio opinion that the con
stitution does not, authorise the introduction of
slaves into tho Territories thus acquired. Upon
that subject there is a difference of opiniou among
tbe lawyers of tlio South. 1 have expressed my
opinion over and over again upon tho subject. I
therefore sny. upon tho pnssage of this bill, jost
aa soon as it has passed, the question of free soil
is settled in reference to New Mexico.

WASHINGTON, July 8,1850.
Tbe Galpblns—Wholesale Condemna
tion—.The Tariff—Tbo South Awaiting
from its Slumbers, ctc.j etc.
After a week’s talk, votes have been taken on
the Galphin business. Mr. Toombs , wished tho
Iiousa to adopt a resolution, that there ia no evi
dence submitted by tho select Committee which
impugns tho porsonal or official conduct of Mr.
Crawford in relation to the settlement of tho claim
of Galpbiua representatives, by the proper offieers
of the Government. Mr. Schenk, another Whig,
wished to tack to this resolution a proviso, to ex
press that tho connection and interest of a mem
ber of the Cabinet with a claim pending and pro
secuted before another Department woold be dan
gerous ns a precedent and ought not to be sauc-
timed. Mr. Thutnpson, of Mississippi, moved
further to amend by adding that “the House to
tally dissents from the correctness of Iho opinion
expressed by tbe President to tbo Secretary of
War, that his (the said Crawford) being at tbo
head of tbe War Department, and tbe ageut of the
claimants, did not take from him any rights he
may have had as such agent, or would have justi
fied him in having the examination and decision
of tbe claim by the Secretary of the Treasury sus
pended! This amendment was agreed to, by a
vote of ninety-op* yeas, to eighty-six nays. In
affirmative were Messrs. Stephens and Toombs,
tbe peculiar friends of Secretary Crawford, and
who procured biin tbo Cabiuet appointment.
To-day tbe voting was resumed, and, by yeas
nnehundred and nineteeu to nays ninety-one, the
House-dissented from the opinion of the Attorney
General and blamed the Secretary of the Treasu
ry lor paying tho money.. -The subject is not dis
posed of; a resolution censoring Mr. Crawford
will probably be adopted. And then, we" will have,
tbe brand of condemnation placed', •
First—On the President of the Uuitml States. '
Secondly—On tbe Attorney General. a
Thirdly—On the Secretary of tbo Treasury.
Fourthly—On Mr. Crawford.
Fifthly—On the Congress which passed tho bill
authorising tho settlement or tbe claim, which
tbe House to-day, by a vote of 142 to 49, declared
was not a jost demand agaiust tbe United States. ^ .
The Whig* see tho damage the G ilphins are
doing them, and they wish to condemn tbe ageucy
of Secretary Crawford; while they fear of boiug
condemned in tarn by the Administration.
Oue of tbe Yaukeo Senators, last week, present
ed a petition, asking for specific, in the place of
ad valorem duties. Mr. Dawson significantly
asked him whether he would be satisfied witb Uie
"discrimination’’of 36 30. This was a most ex-,
cellent bit, aud afforded a fine text from which
proleclhroistsand manufacturers may preach prac
tical sermons. The South gives them raw mate
rials which they can nowhere else procure, and
the manufactured fabric yields them immeuso
wealth. Besides, your section makes that,for the

Yet, what a poor return do the recipients of South

blinder than bats in the day timo- It d >ca not at
present seo that factories of various kinds are
springing np everywhere in the South, and that if
the wild "crusado”continue, the South will look
altogether at home for manufactured domestic ar
ticles; thus abstracting so mnch patronage from
the informedlcr*. "Colonial dependence" will
soon be at an ead, and the South, rich in its own
resources, will bold np its bend with a conscious
ness that it can fake care of itself, asking no fa

METROPOLIS.
Tlic Compromisers.
Nero’s variations on the fiddlo while Romo was
burning, are the proverbs of history; but they
are rivalled by theargumentaofthe Compromisers
of our day. The singer of comic songs never
fails to take advantage of every incident which is
popular at the hour to give life tg his stanzas and
surprise to his hearers. As he seizes on the toll
of a hell, the alarm of an engine, tho fall of a sleep-
iug spectator, so they seize on this intelligence from
New- Mexico to urge anew tho pattnge of the Com
promise BUI. That will care oil ills. How, in
tbe name of all that is reasonable T It will not
revoke Monroo's proclamation. It will simply
confirm the President’s usurpation. California is
admitted by Ibe Compromise bill; and California
got her constitotion from just sneb another out
rage 0s this, which is perpetrating before our eyes
in New Mexico. The Cumpromiso bill then by
admitting Californio, legalize* that species of
Executive action;—or rather it demolishes all the
law and all the constitution that stands in its
way.
If any argument bearing ou tho dispute is to be
drawn from the fact, it isou the other side. It is
an additional motive for bs to resist the unconsti
tutional admission of California that we fill np the
rapidly wideuiug breach' iu the Constitution by so
doing.
The most oggravating oud minting fact- con
nected with this matter, is that a largo Texan
territory hut been seized upon by the Federal
officers, and tbo authorities of that Stato forcibly
prevented from forming it into counties. It is
said that Texas will resist; aud tliut its Governor
has already ordered out 2500 men. We hope
most sincerely that itis so.—Rich Examiner.

Tho weather being warm, nnd he enervated by I
exposure to the sun, ho wasut night attacked wilii
cholera morbus, Remittent lever succeeded.—
Tbo utmost anxiety was manifested yesterday, to
hear of his cumlitiou. Doth Houses udjourued
dt an early hour, it being made known to them
that he had but a short time to live. All that
medical skill could do was done. Last night at
half past ten o’clock, he died, surrounded by his
friends, the members of tho Cdbiuet, and His
household.
Mr. Fillmore was at the White House within
an bonr of the death. He of course will succeed
as President. What effectnll this will have onthe
country, time will determine. Speculation this
morning, is already iudulging as to his probable
course. The South generally supported bira for

Well. General, be it so. It is probably best,
after all. Had you announced your departure
before hand, or had your horse* shod, or given
any iudicatiou of your inteutiou to go, it might
have cast a gloom over the pleasure we eujoyed

soonest reach the bottom ;■ if they stick iu the

but, if thb bottom should be "Clay,” it may bo
that they will never come to the surface again.
Now, General, I have no idea of comparing you
to a terrapin, for all of them which 1 have noticed
could keep their heads williiu their shells for a
long period, nnd you cannot do so for half a

that their resolution was weak. You, General,

The Nashville Convention.
A correspondent of tho Charleston Mercury,
who was present nt all the proceedings of the
Sonthern Convention, furnishes some interesting
facts, which throw a good deal of light on the an~
imus of that body. Wo make an extract:
1. The report of the committeo of thirteen had
not a friend in the convention. There were some
who desired that no harsh words should bo said of
it, (though they ivere willing to seo all its princi
ples attacked) bat the measure had not a friend.—
All who expressed toleration for it, tolerated it on
ly as n basis of a settlement.
2d. There were somo who did not wish to see
it attacked directly, but they wero a mere handful
The great body of tho convention was invincibly
opposed to measures which involved a total de.
strnction of tho rights of property of slaves—
They regarded that this surrender had but one
parallel in onr history, and Detroit has an omnious
connexion with both.
3. A third fact which must bavo been apparent
to all, was tho absence of every partisan feeling
There wore friends of every candidate before the
couutry for tho Presidential office,
There were supporters of Cass, and supporters
of Taylor; there wero warm friends of Clay and
Bnchannnn; nud tbero were men who did not care
for any of them, and viewed them as standing on
grounds equally exceptionablo. ' Theso men uni
ted without difficulty.
4. It became apparent in the latter portion of
the sittings of the convention that practices irom
Washington bad been resorted to, to affect the ao
lion of tho body. The effect was nugatory and the
result produced contempt. It appeared to every
one that a Senator iu Congress fails in his duty in
seeking certificates for bis measures as a charlatan
does for bis quack medicines.' A stronger argu

Col. Leroy Napier was requested to preside
and F. A. Hill, Esq., to act as Secretary. R. A.
Smith. Esq., stated the object of the meeting, and
announced the presence of Ex Guv. Me Donah),
one of the Vice rresideuts of the Nashville Con
vention, whereupon tbe Governor was called npan
by acclamation to address the meeting. He dia
so in an exposition of the objects of tbo Nashville
Convention, recommended tbe unanimous adop
tion ou the part of this State of 36° 30', as tbe ba
sis of settlement and opposed in a constitutional
argument. Mr. Clay’s “Compromise Bill.”
Mr.- Colquitt then moved that n commuted of
seven be appointed by the Chair, to report matter
for the deliberation of the meeting, whereupon
Messrs. A. H Colquitt, H. G. Ross, Charles Camp
bell, Mark D. Clarke, B. H. Moultrie, Drs. C. J.
Nottingham and H. K. Green, were appointed that
committee, who retired.
Judge C. B. Strong was then requested to speak,
and be did so. in a style which greatly amused
and edified bis audience. His argument was main
ly directed against the attempt on tbe part of Con
gress to get jurisdiction of the subject of slavery
and in defence of the Constitution, under which
we bold title to that property.. He argued that.
Mr. Clay’s hill would enact the Wilmot Proviso
and accomplish the dearest object of Northern ]
fanaticism, iu giving them jurisdiction of tbe sub
ject of slavery.
Col. McCuue was then called, and said though
the hour was late aud the audience had been pa
tient listeners for more than two hours, if they
would indulge him he would detain them but'''-n
moment.’ Tlio remarks of Col. McCuue were very
spirited and to the point, and many hearts respond

assumed that the dearest objects to the peojtle of

Thedcep feeliug which pervades the public miud

the people take in the inninentops measures now
before Congress in respect to the public territories,
and a determination on their part that, for the sake

tlieir fathers adopted the Constitution, because il
gave them equal rights, and they feel moreover, that
if they servilely submit to palpable wrongs, they
desecrate the memory of their veuerated auces

ensue. They kuow no master iu this Uniou but
the Constitution, and the laws made in pursuance
thereof. To whom they will submit because they
have plighted their faith to it, nnd because they
have brought them prosperity, happiness, national
honor and glory and peace. They will submit to
no power wbicli proposes to trample thorn uuder
foot. This meeting consider it their indispensable
duty to auuounce this timely waruiug to those
who presume to thiuk, that the constitutional
rights of Southern freemen may be infringed with
impuuity. It is a conservative warning. We re
gard the bill before Congress, usually known ns
tho "Compromise of the Committee of Thirteen,’’
as fraught with aggression and evil to the South.
It gives up the whole of California to o people
who are intruding upou our property, and who
assnme to say that wo shall be excluded there
from. Its admission by Congress will ratify the
wroug of the aggressors. It only delers the day,
to a more convenient period, for admitting thu
other Territories with similar Constitutions. It
makes insufficient provisions for tbe delivery of fu
gilive slaves. It prepares the way for converting
u very large portion of Texas, now clave, into free
soil territory. It abolishes the slave trade in the
District of Columbia aud looks to its abulitiou in
that District and in the States, by giviug to CoU'
grass jurisdiction of the subject. We cannot re
gard tbo so-called "Compromise Bill,” as of the
least value to the South. It is a -‘whited sepul

Messrs. Editors: Notwithstanding all the lessons
the South has received, it seems she will not hear
wisdom. She has been rifled of some of her
terests, aud now her rights and equality are ta
sailed and hard pressed; yet she will not unite
their defence; and that too when every Southern
man oxpresses the opinion that, “if the South would
uuite, she could protect her own rights;” and it is
moreover reiterated, over and over again, from
the North, from time to time, that, “if the South
was united she could effect her purposes;” and
still we, the South, continue to differ and squab
ble among ourselves and neglect the proper steps
for tbe protation ofoar vital interests; while the
North lets no opportunity pass of lessening onr
power and influence. One, who has looked oo
and observed tbe coarse of the South and examin
ed the present state of affairs, can scarcely resist
the exclamation—Oh my country verily thna srt
doomed!—not only by tbe contests of external and
internal parties; oat also, by divisions among
friends, by apathy of the ■’ people themselves and
by tbe violence and timidity of individuals. We
are led to these reflections.from the consideration
of surrounding circnmstauces and what is said of
R. Barnwell Rhetl’s speech, and M.r. Chappell's
extraordinary letter. Both of these gentlemen
are old Nullifiers.. They seem to have lesrntdif-
ferently from almost -the same lessons. There
