he veriest act of folly and madness which
ever influenced or controlled a weak or
wicked Government No, sir; the ties of
this Union once broken, and there would
be but one basis on which they could ev
er be reformed—concession fro m the North;
security for the South.
Ami, sir, it is because I believe that
separation is not far distant; because the
signs of the times point too plainly to the
early triumph of the Abolitionists, and
their complete possession and control of
every department of the Federal Govern
ment; and because I firmly believe that
when such an event occurs the Union will
be dissolved, that I am unwilling to vote
so much land and so much money as this
bill proposes, to build a railroad to the
Pacific, which, in my judgement, will be
created outside of a southern confederacy,
and will belong exclusively to the North.
Sir, the public lands now held by the Uni
ted States, as well as the public Treasury,
are the joint property of all the States and
the people of this Union. They belong
to the South as well as the North; we arc
entitled, in the Union, to our just and
equal share, and if the Union is divided,
then we are no less entitled to a fair pro
portion of the common fund.
What I demand, therefore, is, that the
South shall he put upon an equality with
the North, whether the Union lasts or not;
that in appropriating the public lands and
money, the joint property of all, in con
necting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by
railroad, the South shall have an equal
chance to secure a road within her bor
ders, to inure to her benefit whilst the
Union lasts, and to belong to her when—
if ever—that Union is dissolved I am

The President on the Vortara Case.
The President, in response to a letter
from the “ Board of Representatives of the
United Congregations of Israelites,” in
New York, in relation to the Mortara case,
refers them to the letters of Gen. Cass for
his opinion, but adds:
“ I have long been convinced that it is
neither the right or the duty of this gov
ernment to exercise a moral censorship
over the conduct of other independent
governments, and to rebuke them for acts
which wc may deem arbitrary and unjust
towards their own citizens or subjects.—
Such a practice would tend to embroil us
with all nations. We ourselves would
not permit any foreign Power thus to in
terfere with our domestic concerns, and
enter protest against the legislation or the
action of our governmeut towards our
own citizens. If an attempt of this kind
were made, we should promptly advise
such a government in return to confine
themselves to their own affairs, and not
intermeddle with our concerns.
It is perhaps fortunate that the asser
tion of the principles of non-intervention
on the part of the United States between
History is a truthful monitor of the
past, and stands boldly out on the ram
parts of time, a warning beacon to us and
the generations to follow after, in our
progress and rapid strides to greatness
and to power.
The United States, a mighty and pow
erful nation, springing up as it were in a
moment from the forest wilds of a western
world, spreading her protecting aegis over
an area of the finest territory in the
world, which in point of natural resources,
fertility, and extensive domain, was not
even dreamed of in fabled history—embo
dying a population the bravest, freest, and
most enlightened known to the civilized
world—magnifying itself in the prospec
tive of future greatness and extent, above
all other powers on earth—it would seem
as a natural consequence that we possess
ed a foreign policy equal to onr aspira
tions and advancement, embodying all the
ennobling characteristics of such a dcsti
ny—viz: wisdom, moderation, virtue and
justice, backed with a resolute and deter
mined spirit of submitting to nothing in
our intercourse with other nations than
Charleston Mercury.
The attention of the reading public is
invited to the advertisement of the
Charleston Mercury, to be found in an
other column. The Mercury is an un
flinching champion of the rights of the
South—a paper that all true Southern
men may safely “ swear by.”
“ We entertain for the Mercury a kind
of parental feeling—(s;n\s the Georgetown
Times) a respect that ‘grows with our
growth and strengthens with our strength.’
Amid all the apostacy of parties and poli
ticians, it stands out now, as for years
past, the steadfast champion of Southern
rights and principles.
“ A prouder position we do not know,
and may it ever be maintained. Its lead
ing editorials are uniformly characterized
by a care and earnestness which we great
ly admire, and the articles that ever and
anon are contributed to its columns are
marked by a searching scrutiny and an
extensive observation. As a news paper,
too, it is generally full and very reliable.
We take pleasure, therefore, in commend

What is the Dae.
TheSouthern people should assure them
selves that they do not approve the propo
sed acquisition of Cuba, rather, because of
the novelty of the thing, than from a well
digested knowledge, that the country will
be benefitted.
Suppose we purchase the island for a
round number of millions, as some think
would be a peculiarly honorable way of
making the Queen of the Antilles a sover
eign member of this Confederacy, after all,
what do we purchase which can compen
sate our citizens for sustaining the ad
ditional burden of taxation ?
At present the productions of Cuba pay
a revenue to our Treasury. Admit Cuba
and that source of income will be cut off.
It must then be made up by a higher tar
iff upon something else, or we must go
in debt. The expenses of the Federal Gov
ernment will be increased, and it is as
mucii as we can suppose that the revenue
arising upon foreign importations to this
island, would meet the additional expen
ses. The amount of purchase money must
be raised by enlarged taxes upon our peo-1 ® lc - d ’’''

like heroes, made a desperate eft'ort—part
of the time carrying Mr. Ashton. They
then had some hopes of making the trip,
although the thermometer stood twenty-
seven degrees below zero. Mr. Sander
the surveyor on tiic new road south of
Laramie, had Mr. Miller stationed at this
place with a Barometer and Thermometer
in order to take notes of the weather. The
oldest mountaineers, one in particular,—
who lives close by the station, states that
it was the coldest weather they had expe-
prisoners that they were taking them to
the jail of a neighboring county, one of
them representing himself as the jailor.—
But after driving off into the wooks, the
carriage stopped, when they revealed to
their astonished subjects the sad intelli
gence that they were going to whip, crop
and “tar and feather them.” One of the
prisoners swore he wouldn’t be whipped •
a pistol was presented to his head, accom
panied with the slight expletive, that if he
didn’t get out and shuck off, his brains
would be blown out; whereupon, he ca
ved and began to undress—his hands were
tied, lie bucked down, and, with a trace,
they hit him thirteen licks apiece, making,
in all, fifty-two lashes ; they then cut his
hair and whiskers, with sheep shears, tar
red his head over, and after sticking it in
a bag of feathers, liberated him; the oth
er one passing through the same “ trage
dy.” They were seen next morning look
ing like freezling chickens, several miles
in the country, inquiring the way to the
Macon railroad, and couldn’t be induced
to return to Atlanta depot to take thc ears.
They never will show their physiognomies
here again, and it should influence them
to abandon the practice of fumbling in
other people's pockets, though one of them
stated that stealing was his profession.—
Let it be a ten-or and warning to pick

ded, miserable and contemptible people
with whom our State and country is curs

kickory nut. He has remained there since-
Christmas under treatment and has come

the cancer, with a circular piece cut out
of the centre a little larger than the can

of zinc, blood root and wheat flour was
spread on a bit of muslin of the size of
this circular opening, and applied to thc
cancer for twenty-four hours.
