a he Squier Treaty with San Salvador. RATIFICATION BY THE UNITED BTATKB—AB STRACT OF ITS PROVISIONS. The treaty mado by E. G. Squier, our repre sentative in Central America, in January, 1850, j between the United States on the one part, and j the republic of San Salvador on the other, has 1 now passed into an accomplished Tact. Tho j treaty was originally made during the regime of President Taylor; but the administration which succeeded declined to ratify or act upon it. So it has laid over a dead letter until very recently, when it received the sanction of the Senate, and the ratification and signature of President Pierce. The following are the chief ; points of the treaty : Arts. 1 and 2 provide that there shall be a perfect and firm peace and sincere friendship | between the United States of America and the republic of San Salvador, and that no particu lar favor shall be granted to other nations, in respect of commerce and navigation, which shall not immediately become common to the other party. Art. 3 provides for perfect equality and reci procity between the countries in matters of com merce and navigation, and that the subjects of each may hold estate, carry on business and manufactures, and enjoy all the rights of native citizens in the other; and by article 12 they may dispose of their property by sale, donation, tes tament or otherwise. Art. 4 agrees that whatever kind of produce, manufacture or merchandise, of any foreign country may be lawfully imported into the Uni ted States in their own vessels, may also be im ported in vessels of the republic of San Salva dor, without any difference in tonnage duties— and so also with exports. Art. 5 provides that no higher duty shall be imposed on the importation into either country of the produco or manufactures of the other than that levied on the same articles from foreign countries—so also with exportations. Art. 6 makes the three preceding articles more definite, and makes them applicable to vessels and their cargoes whether proceeding from the ports of the respective countries or from foreign ports, without being subject to any discriminating duty. Art. 7 authorizes merchants, commanders of ships, and other citizens by themselves, or agents, to manage their own business in all the ports and places subject to the jurisdiction of each other, they being in all cases to be treated as citizens of the country in which they reside, or at least to be placed on an equality with the subjects or citizens of the most favored nations. Art. 8 exempts the citizens of each country, and their vessels and cargoes, from liability to embargo, or to be detained for any military ex pedition. Arts. 9 and 11 provide for giving refuge and assistance to distressed mariners in the ports of either country. Art. 10 provides that the ships, merchandise and effects taken by pirates, and found in the dominions of either of the contracting parties, will be restored on proving property. Art. 13 engages the two contracting parties, to give especial protection to the persons and property of the citizens of each other, and to leave open to them the tribunals of justice. Art. 14 guaranties liberty of conscience and freedom from molestation in the exercise of re ligious duties to the citizens of either country re siding in the other. Arts. 15 and 16 affect the hostile relations of the contracting parties, and provides that the ships of either country may sail to or from and trade at the ports of a foreign country at en mity with the other, no distinction being made as to who are the proprietors of the merchandise ; and that free ships shall also give freedom to the goods laden thereon, and to the persons on board, unless they are officers or soldiers, and in the actual service of the enemy. Art. 17 enumerates what shall be compre hended among contraband or prohibited goods. They include all warlike arms and accoutrements and provisions imported into a besieged or blockaded place, and the following article de clares all other merchandise and things as free. Art. 19 agrees that such contraband articles shall be subject to detention and confiscation, leaving free the rest of the cargo and ship. Art. 20 relates to the event of blockades, and agrees that every vessel sailing to the enemy’s port without knowing that it is besieged or blockaded shall be turned away, but not de tained. Arts. 21, 22 and 23 regulate for the exami nation of ships’ papers by a national vessel of war. Art. 24 provides for the adjudication of prizes. Art. 25 agrees that in the event of a war be tween the two contracting parties hostilities shall only be caraied on by persons duly com missioned bj’ the government, except in repell ing an attack or invasion, and in the defence of property. Art. 19 provides that no citizen of the other party shall accept a commission or letter of marque. Arts. 27 and 28 provide that, in the event of war between the two countries, a term of six months shall be allowed to merchants residing on the coasts, and a year to those in the interi or, to arrange their business, and that a safe conduct shall be given them to such port as they designate, and that neither the debts due from individuals of the one nation to the indi viduals of the other, nor shares nor money in public fuuds or banks, shall be sequestrated or confiscated. Arts. 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33 relate to minis- j ters and consuls. They agree to grant to the envoys, ministers and other public agents of each other the same favors, immunities and ex emptions enjoyed by those of the most favored nations, and to receive consuls and vice consuls in all the ports open to foreign commerce. Art. 34 provides for holding a consular con vention, to declare specially the powers and im munities of the consuls and vice consuls of the respective parties. Art. 35 declares that the treaty shall remain in full force and vigor for the terra of twenty years, and then until twelve months after no tice is given of the intentiou of either party to reform it; and it also stipulates that, in case of any of the articles contained in it should be via ated or infringed, no nets ok’ reprisal or war shall be ordained or authorized until the injured party shall have laid before the other a state ment of damages, and that same shall have been ; denied, in violation of tho laws and of interna- j tional right. Art. 37. The present treaty of peace, amity, j commerce and navigation shall be approved and ratified by the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of j the Senate thereof, and by the President of the ! Republic of San Salvador, with the consent and approbation of the congress of the same; and the ratification shall be exchanged in the city of Washington or San Salvador, within eight | months from the date of the signature thereof, I or sooner if possible. In faith whereof we, the plenipotentiaries of | the United States of America and of the Repub ’ lie of San Salvador, have signed and sealed i these presents, in the city of Leon, on the sec ond day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty, and of the in dependence of the United States the seventy fourth. E. GEO. SQUIER, AUGUSTIN MORALES. The treaty is now published and proclaimed | in the following terms: — Whereas, the said treaty has been duly rati fied on both parts, and the respective ratifications of the same have been exchanged. Now, therefore, be it known that I, Franklin Pierce, President of the United States, have caused the said treaty to be made public, to the end that the same, and every article and clause i thereof, may be observed and fulfilled with | good faith by the United States and the citizens ; thereof. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my j hand and caused the seal of the United States to j be affixed. I Done at the city of Washington, the eighteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thou sand eight hundred and fifty-three, and of the independence of the United States the seventy seventh. FRANKLIN PIERCE. By the President, W. L. Marcy, Secretary of State. limits mttr BmiimL COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 4, 1853. Personal. We admit iuto our columns the communication from “Goblin Glen,” as its author claims a hearing on the score of justice. We by no means acknowledge the correctness of his position. The Southern Rights men of Alabama, in convention assembled, distinctly as serted that they would not agitate a dissolution of the •Union for past aggressions, bat wait and watch the fu ture. This was the only State convention held in the Union in saver of Troup and Quitman, and they surely had abetter right to define the position and aims of the party than he of “Goblin Glen.’’ African Colonization. Much interest has been awakened in our community on this subject, by the Rev. Mr. Gurley —formerly chaplain to Congress, and for a long time agent of the American Colonization Society—who has delivered sev eral addresses on the subject in our churches. The freed negroes in the United States occupy a very unfortunate position. They have not the protection of the slave, nor the liberty of the freeman. Their con dition is like that of the Jews in tho dark ages—they are the victims of the vicious, and their color shuts them out from the association of the virtuous and refined— they have no incentives to exertion—they cannot feel the stir of a noble ambition—all efforts to elevate them selves must necessarily end in disappointment and fail ure. The result is, that they are, as a class, vicious and depraved, and are regarded with suspicion by the master and with envy by the slave. Their presence in the State is universally regarded as a nuisanoe, and fero cious law's have been enacted in many of the States to remove those who are residents, and to prohibit the in gress of others into their borders. Nor are we pre pared to disapprove of this policy, except on the score of humanity. They ought to bo removed from contact with tho I slave population, but not thrust out as wild beasts. They are men with the feelings and sensibilities of men, and though far below the Anglo-Saxon in moral and intel lectual attainments, they belong to the brotherhood of humanity, and are entitled to Christian charity at our hands. The colonization will scheme relieve us from the influence of a dangerous population and at the same time promote, it is generally believed, the temporal interests of the free negro. The testimony of Mr. Gurley on this point is very satisfactory. lie has twice visited Africa, and is perfectly familiar with the condition of the colonists. He does not represent the citizens of Liberia as equal to us in intelligence, or our rivals in civilization—this of course is not to be believed or anticipated—but he gives the gratifying assurance that they are a contented, or derly, and industrious community ; not rich, but able to support themselves; with churches, school houses, oourts of justioe, and all the other elements of civiliza- ! tion. We were so well satisfied by his representations on this head, that we are fully convinced that the free negroes will not be injured by a removal to Liberia ; | though we would shrink from the adoption of compulso ry measures to effect this result, we decidedly approve of the project to aid all who desire to emigrate. We understand that Mr. Gurley will remain in town a few days and will be pleased to receive contributions from all persons who desire to lend a helping hand to j this good work. The colony of Liberia has strong claims upon the 1 churches. It is the only available stand point from which there is any probability of sending the light of the gospel to the millions of heathen Africa. There are within the State 150,000 native Africans, all of whom are within the influence of Christian teaching, and doubtless the fact that Liberia is the strongest mili tary power in Central Africa is a protection to the mis sionaries who have penetrated into the interior and are now actively engaged in preaching the gospel to the millions who dwell upon the table land of the continent. Tennessee. Maj. Gcstavus A. Henry, of Clarksville, has been nominated as the whig candidate for Governor of Ten nessee. He is known the “Eagle Orator” from the highfalutin style of his oratory. The new Phase of Society. The “strikes’’ in the northern cities have opened fields of labor for women, and are likely to reduce, in- j stead of raising, wages in all mechanic arts winch are adaoted to the strength and habits ol women. Hither- j to females have been almost exclusively confined to the j needle and spindle ; and such has bee# the supply of ; operatives in these branches of industry, that wages : have fallen below the cost of subsistence. Y\ e do not now feel this evil in these southern States, but such is the rapidity of increase in our population, that the time , will soon come when we shall feel the effects of the same pressure in the channels of labor appropriated to women j as now exists at the north. We hail, therefore, as a good omen, this new development at tho north, and confidently anticipate that by tho time the wages of females shall fall below subsistence in the branches of business which they now occupy, custom will have es tablished the propriety of employing them in stores, in printing offices, in barber shops, and in various other employments to which they are adapted. The wide west i3 open to our young men, and wheu they find it unprofitable to work at their trades in eastern cities, they can easily transport themselves to localities where the strong arm- can accumulate a fortune. But no such resource is open to women. They are eom | pelled to accept the wages that are offered or starve —or do worse. It is a melancholy fact that at the north and in Eu- • rope, the worst paid mechanic in any of the branches ■ of industry receives higher wages than can be obtained j by the most skillful seamstress. By diversifying the j employments of families, this evil will be avoided; and ! j though the general average of wages will fall, the in come of a family will be increased, as all tho members will find work at living prices. It is ridiculous to con nect this movement with the Woman’s Rights humbug. It lias nothing to do with wearing breeches and voting at elections, which seem to bo the highest aim of the Virragos in Bloomer costume. It is one of the rights properly belonging to females, and the effort to restore it to them ought not to be made contemptible by asso ciating it with tho movement of. Mrs. Brown, which ] good taste and good morals alike condemn. j ! Young America !—Progress of the Age ! ! | While President Pierce and his cabinet are looking into the affairs of the government, correcting abuses, turning out old, and putting in new officers, other and smaller bodies, politic and corporate are also making improvements, progress and corrections and bringing the administration of their affairs to the highest state of , perfection ; this is true with respect to private compa ! nies, Railroads, Telegraphs, &c. | These ideas have suggested themselves to our mind from the fact that we understand many of the stockhold ers of the Washington and New Orleans Telegraph liue residing in and about this city (and perhaps else where) desire a change in the Presidency of that com pany, and that their attention is directed to our worthy and enterprising young fellow citizen, E. 11. Musa rove, Esq. We are pleased to see tho talents and energies of young men of worth and merit called into requisition, and to such calls we hold that they have no right to turn a deaf ear; therefore, we hope Mr. Musgrove will j not permit any notions of false modesty to induce him i to deny the use es his name and valuable services to the | company, and wo .might add to the public also, for it is I interested in this to a much greater extent than that of j mere dollars and cents. To such stockholders as are not acquainted with Mr. Musgrove’s qualifications as an able, energetic, practical man of business, strict integrity, and high minded, hoh | or able bearing, we would say, investigate his claims and qualifications for the office, and we dare make the declaration that he will thenjje unanimously called to the executive chair of your company.

Goblin Glenn, April 24, 1853. Gentlemen : Through your columns came the blow, j through your columns I claim to apply the reparation.— We have long since given utterance to the contempt we feel for both the political parties who are now compassing heaven and earth to participate in the distribution oi the loaves and fishes, and if you had only left us alone in our obscurity, and permitted us to mourn in secret over the i disgrace and degradation brought upon our own dear Georgia by this filthy scrambling for the spoils in which her base and degenerate sons are engaged, such is our most downright contempt for all parties, that we would j have scorned to let it be known that wc were even idle | lookers on at the dirty strife. Deep, indeed, must be the folly of the man who supposes principles are assumed or I laid down tor any other purpose but as a man’s chances of ’ office'rise or fall by the act, and sovereign, indeed, must be our contempt for the intellect of the man who does not perceive that with the press and prominent men of both | parties, this is the only motive power more powerful j than Fulton’s steam or Ericsson’s caloric. With these i views, sensations and feelings you may be assured I would have scorned to mingle in the dirty press if you had | but let us alone; but when you undertake tosay | what were the views of the supporters of the Tro ip and | Quitman ticket, permit me to inform you. that with secu ! rity for the future, the demanded redress for the past, and with their good will, there should have been no peace un ■ til thu South was fully entitled to her equality in the Un i ion, and the free and uninterrupted enjoyment of all her ; rights, and they are not men to cry out peace, peace, when j there is no peace. They cannot, they dare not, they will : not barter their l ights, or the right and equality of their country, for power, place, or pelf, and they can but place in the same category all who do, between slaves or quasi slaves, or would be slaves. We cannot stop or stoop to draw bail -spun distinctions. The supporters of the compromise are all compromise men to us from President Pierce to the basest Tugalonian (and God knows that is going low enough.) We look upon them ul 1 alike as the imitators of that base Judean who, for 30 pieces of silver, sold a i pearl richer than all his tribe. Respectfully, JOHN A. JONES. [From the Constitutionalist & Republic.] Atlanta, April 25th, 1853. To the Editor of the Constitutionalist <£ Republic : Sir : — The meeting of the General Baptist Con vention of this State, is now in progress here, and the proceedings, thus far, have been remarkably har monious and attended by clear evidences of ardent zeal, in the cause of temperance, moral and religious improvement and domestic and foreign, especially African, missions. Yesterday the Convention ad journed to listen to an address by the Rev. R. R. Gurley, on the subject of African Colonization. On Saturday evening the subject of religious publica tions occupied the attention of the Convention.— Last evening a crowded house listened with pro found interest to addresses from three young gen tlemen who have dedicated themselves to the cause of missions in Central Africa. You maybe aware that the Rw. Mr Bowen, (a native of this region of Georgia, and a gentleman of admirable qualifications for the enterprize he has undertaken) has been for two years exploring the countries north of Lagos ’and a little west of the Niger, and that ho there found a beautiful, healthy and populous country, t\\ prepared for the reception of Christian teachers', and to which, with two companions, (both natives of this State) he ie soon to return, and seek to diffuse the blessed light and influences of Christianity.— Mr. Bowen found the people of Yarriba, (where he was welcomed by multitudes anxious to hear his discourses and ready to afford him a home) very considerably advanced in civilization, believers in one God and in Providence very obliging and polite, respectful to women, hiving many proverbs, very just and appropriate as rules of hfe, with a language capable of communicating moral and religious ideas and of becoming the instrument of imparting the holy and sublime mysteries of the Gospel. The Convention gave evidence of deep interest in the statement. I trust Mr. Bowen will not forget to visit New York and other northern cities where, I feel confident, his report will awaken a concern for Africa, hitherto unknown in the United States. [From tho Albany Patriot.] Baker County Democratic Meeting:. According to a previous notice, a large meet ! ing of the Democratic Party of Baker County ! was held at the Court House in Newton on | Wednesday the27th ot April. Hardy Griffin, j Esq., was called to the Chair for the purpose j of organizing the meeting ; when, B. O. Keaton was appointed Chairman, and Henry H ora | Secretary. On motion, a committee of five, was appoint ed by the Chairman, to report delegates to the State Convention to nominate a candidate for Governor. The committee reported the names ofC. W. Colley, N. W. Collier, and Morgan Chastain; which report was unanimously ratified by the meeting. On motion, the meeting determined to appoint delegates to the second Congressional District Convention at Albany on the fifth Wednesday in June to nominate a condidate for Congress bij ballot. The ballots having been counted, Col. B, M. Cox, and Dr. J. G- Slappy were appointed delegates to said convention. On motion, the meeting determined that the nomination of a Senator and Representative to the Legislature for Baker County by the Demo cratic Party shall be held by ballot at the pre cincts in the several Districts on Saturday be fore the first Tuesday in July (the 2d. day of July;) that the votes be consolidated at the Court House on the first Tuesday in July, and that the persons receiving the highest number of votes shall be the nominees of the Democratic Party. On motion the meeting adjourned. B. O. KEATON, Chairman. Henry Hora, Secretary. Gov. Seymour, of Connecticut, who was a distinguished officer in the late Mexican war, is undoubtedly to have the mission to Mexico, and is to go out in June with full instructions as to the questions pending between this Government and that of Mexico. Hon. Jonathan Phillips has made the liberal donation of ten thousand dollars to the city of Boston, in aid of the public library. The grand jury of Tazewell county, Va., has presented the Into Logdslnturo'of that State as a nuisance. Second Congressional District. This District is now composed of the coun ties of Muscogee, Marion, Macon, Randolph, Stewart, Sumter, Lee, Baker, Early, De catur, Dooly, and Pulaski.. The relative strength of the two parties—whig and de mocratic—cannot at the present time ho decided with any degree of accuracy. The vote polled in the contest between Johnson and Benning, in 1851, is no criterion whatever, by which to judge of the relative strength of the whig and democratic parties, since the re-or ganization of those parties. Johnson was nom inated by an amalgamation of Union whigs J and democrats —he ran the race under demo cratic- colors, thereby distracting and dividing the democratic forces. But, owing his election mainly to the whigs and knowing that he was a “dead cock in the pit” with the democratic par ty, he did not hesitate, on his arrival at Wash -1 ington, to ally himself with Toombs and Ste i phens, and to identify himself with the Whig j party in Congress. In doing this ho betrayed j the confidence reposed in him by the rank and file of the Union democrats of his district.— In the approaching contest, the democracy of the Second Congressional District will be a j unit. There may be a few restless spirits who will refuse to co-operate with us in the ap proaching convention and contest, but all such factious spirits, we doubt not, will accompany I Judge Brown in his avalanche for democracy, I to the “conservatism (?) of the whig party.”— 4 ; But all true democrats—those who are domo i crats in principle, and not for the love of office, will be found shoulder to shoulder in the ap proaching campaign, battling for the triumph and ascendency of democratic principles. We have, however, departed from the subject we designed to consider in the outset of this article, to-wit : the relative strength of the two i parties. Both parties as now organized in Georgia have fallen back upon the old issues;, i that formerly divided them, and their relative ! strength is doubtless about the same as in former years, anterior to the introduction of the Union ( humbug into the contest for power. Below we 1 append a statement of the votes polled in the ! presidential election in November, 1848, which, though it does not exhibit the actual strength of the democratic party at the time, is perhaps i the most reliable data upon which to base a | calculation in relation to the numerical strength; of the present political organizations. Whig. Dem. Baker, 341 631 Decatur, 493 30 Dooly, 341 501 Earlv, 200 505 Lee,” 323 181 Muscogee, 1,330 856 Marion, 500 500 Macon, 288 271 Pulaski, 320 423 Randolph, 780 724 Stewart, 026 686 Sumter, 733 587 0,575 6,285 ; According to the above table, the majority of the whigs in 1848 in those counties which now compose the second Congressional Dis trict was 200. But in that electicyn the demo cratic psfty had dead weight to carry in the ; person of Gen. Cass, while on the other hand the popularity of Gen. Taylor at that time, se cured for him many democratic votes. Taking this view of the subject, the strength of parties j in this district in 1848, was nearly equal, and so we apprehend it is now. How important, ■ then, that the soundest discretion be exercised in the selection of a standard bearer of the De mocracyof the Second Congressional District. ! An imprudent selection on either side, will doom the party making it to inevitable defeat— So. Democrat. English Aristocracy Coming to Our World's Fair. —We learn, bj r a letter from a London , correspondent, that the Earl of Ellesmere is is coming out to this county, to represent Eng -1 land at the World’s Fair to be held in New York. He brings one of bis sons, and his daughters, ; the ladies Egerton, along with him. Although | among the highest and wealthiest of the English ! aristocracy, and also prominent in the lite rary world, they are represented to be among the most amiable, unaffected, and unpretend ing. Lady Bulwer, wife of the ex-British min ister to the United States, and Lady Ouselev— who, by the by, is an American—have given them letters of introduction to several of their friends in this city. j We trust they will be greeted with a frank, generous, dignified, and, above all, unostenta tious hospitality. Let them especially not fall i into the hands and guardianship of a certain set, : whose obtrusive vulgarity, and impertinent, sel fish, fidgety, would-be-fashionable exclusiveness are more disgusting to real good sense than even the coarsest manners of the genuine “b’hoys.” The Countess of Ellesmere, it is understood, accompanies her husband. She, too, we are ■ told, like the other members of the family, is remarkable for kindness and entire absence ot ; pretension. By Dod’s Parliamentary Companion, we i perceive that the Earl of Ellesmere was former- I ly Lord Francis Egerton, having been raised to | his present dignity in the year 1846. He was born in 1800. His second title is Bracklev. He is a privy councillor and a deputy lieutenant of Sutherlandshire, was in the House of Commons in 1846, as Lord Francis Egerton, and has been a Lord of the Treasury, Chief Secretary for Ireland, and Secretary at War. He possesses four princely residences in Lag land, and is a member of the Carlton and Athe naeum Clubs Pistols. —At Nashville, on the 10th, as a .di.
