Hid. DISTRICT DAVID J. HAILEY. IVth. DISTRICT W. B. W. DENT. Vth. DISTRICT E. W. CHASTAIN. Mr. Davis and the Pacific Railroad. We publish to-day an approved copy of Mr. Davis’s address upon the Pacific Railroad. We do not under stand the eloquent speaker as having committed him self to the policy of building the toad out of the funds in the Treasury. He admits the necessity of the road for the defence of our Pacific possessions, but pledges himself and the Administration to oppose the building of it by the Federal Government, if any other means can be devised to attain the same end. To this posi tion we hare no objection, as we are sure private en terprise is compcti nt to the task, Bnd will achieve it long before Government ean do so. We arc surprised that no allusion is made to this view of the subject by the Secretary of War, and hope that when he reviews the ground he will concur with us in opinion. The Savannah Georgian is sound upon this as on every other ques.ion affecting State Rights, and contains an able article in opposition to the Government’s building the Road, The Democratic party is by no means com mitted to the Pacific Road. Wait till you hear from Pierce. We confide in his soundness upon this and every other question which will come before him. A Short Reply. We are astonished at the tenacity with which many of our cotemporaries cling to the charge that we have apologized or the appointment of Free Soilers to office, and can only account for it upon the supposition that, having done so themselves while Fillmore was President, they are anxious to shield themselves from public condemnation by implicating us. In the extract from our columns adduced by them as % proof of the charge made against us, we do not even ad mit that Pierce had appointed Free Soilers to office, but simply set forth a state of facts existing in some com munities at the north, which might render the appoint meat ot Free Soilers to local offices unavoidable. Now, is it not apparent to the dullest comprehension, that until we admit that the President had appointed Free Soilers to office, it is preposterous to charge us with apologising for such appointments? and that what is unavoidable is not subject matter for apology. An apology implies error. We have never admitted the error, and could not, therefore, apologise for it. We are the more earnest in this matter, as we are the deadly enemy of these creatures, desire no fellow ship with them, and will co-operate with no party which warms them in its bosom. This is indeed one great cause of our hostility to the Southern Whig or Conser vative party. It not only supported a party which re cognised Free Soilers as members in full connection and fellowship, but actually chose them out of the array of its great men, and voted for them for President and Vice-President of the United States, knowing them to | be such. The editors of the Conservative journals I ought to be ashamed to bring the charge against Gen. j Pierce of appointing Free Soilers to office. They i themselves would have made a Free Soiler President j of the United States. It is useless to allege that Wee- | •ter voted for the Compromise, and thereby gave evi dence of his recantation of I.is Free Soil doctrines. He avowed in his speeches in defence of the Compromise, both before and after its passage, that if there ever was any danger of slavery going into New Mexico and Utah, that he would exclude it by act of Congress, and only forbore to do so then because the Wilinot Proviso was written by the finger of God upon every mountain and valley in the territories. It would be no defence to President Pierce to say j and prove, as there would be no difficulty in doing, that Fillmore appointed Free Soilers to office. We scorn such a defence. It is, however, a matter of reproach to Southern journalists that they gave their support to such an Administration, and now seek to undermine President Pierce for following in his footsteps, as they charge, but fail to prove. Reply to the Chronicle & Sentinel. The evidence that the Buffalo Republic has been repudiated by the President, is found in the columns of the Washington Union, the organ of the Administra tion, where it is done without equivocation by the or gan grinder in his editoria columns. As to the ad vertising patronage received by the paper, v\e know nothing about it, but presume no respectable paper would publish the advertisement tor the pay offered for it by the last Congress. We have had similar patron age offered to us by Fillmore’s Administration. Poes this prove that Fillmore’s Administration was Demo cratic ? The evidence that Pix & Cos. have repudiated their Buffalo he'esies is fouud first in the fact that they ; voted for Franklin Pierce, the bitterest and most proscripthe enemy in the Northern States of the Buf falo politicians. Does the Chronicle cj- ntinel for- j get that be organised opposition to Atwood, the Demo- ; eratic nominee for Governor of New Hampshire, upon the ground that he was a Buffalo politician, and sue* ceedtd in defeating his election ? The second ground ot proof that they have repudiated their Buffalo here sies, is found in the fact that they have been appointed i to office by Franklin Pierce, the fiercest and bitterest enemy ot Buffalo heresies iu the North rn States. The third piece of evideiLe that th*-y have repudiated their j Buffalo heresies is found in the fact that they are re- • tamed in office by Franklin Pierce, who is pledged ! before the country ter turn out of office every appointee who will not repudiate the Buffalo heresies, and w’e ; believe Franklin Pierce is an honest man and will stand up to his word. As to Brown ,he uever was a Freesoiler. Now will the Chronicle tjr Sentinel honestly an swer us a few questions ? Did you not vote for a Freesoiler for President ? ] lid not Mr . Jenkj.ns do the same ? How then can you honestly Wame Pierce for appointing Freesoiiers to insigtiifieant offices? Is not every Foreign Mission of the tirade of Ch arge. but one, niied by men who are opposed to both Abo litionism and Freesotiism ? Plain answers to these few ques tions will, it is believed, show the h ypoorisy of the Con eirva.ivo party and commend the Ad minis-tration °f President Pierce to the ooafiden W of the South**. * rtople, I Capt. Abercrombie’s Election-—The use made of it. We find in the Chronicle <s• Sentinel , a letter from Columbus, Geo., which attempts to make a very un fair use of Capt. Abercrombie’s election in the 2d Con gressional District of Ala. The writer says : “Well done. Democrats of the 2d Congressional Dis trict in Alabama. And is not this election encouraging to our cause ? Will the Union and Conservative Lena - crats in Georgia be behind their orethren across the river, in Alabarna.in thusstanding up to the principles of the South and of the Union ? Will the Union and Conservative Democrats in Georgia, who have been ‘kicked and cuff ed about,’ rode rough-shod over, (see Warner, Murphy. Tumlin and others,) and who have been made to stand aside for their ‘ betters ,’ or for their Fire eating or Dis | union brethren among the ‘reunited,’will they cring i ingly bow the knee to their would-be masters —those who think themselves ‘ better ’ than they ? And will not the great body of them ‘come out from among’ these D sunionists and supporters of Free-soil and Abo lition appointments, and again stand by the Georgia Platform aa they and we did in 1851, when we elected Cot b. who then professed great devotion to it ? I cannot but believe they will. 1 place a higher estimate upon them than their Fir- -eating brethren or Mr. Cobb either ; for 1 do not think they belong to Mr. Cobb and can be trans ferred and sold to Disunionists like sheep and cattle, or other stock in trade, by any bargain he can make tor his own individual bemnt. But the first Tuesday in October Will tell.” This will be very astonishing news to many of C3pt. Abercrombie’s supporters, and make them bite tfuir lips with rage. Many of his best and most indu* ntiai friends in the election were Fire-eating Democrats— disunionists of the first water —rnen who voted for Troup and Quitman in the last election, and hold the w hole Union party in utter contempt. The county of Barbour , which the writer in another place designates as “the Democratic county of Barbour,” “which brought up the rear in a handsome manner,” was origina l)’ a Whig county by from 2 to 300, and gave the “ Disunionist, l ’ C chran. near 400 majority in his race with Abercrombie in 1851. It is all gammon therefore for “A Conservative Observer” to pretend to believe tl at the Union Democrats gave Abercrombie his majority. He owes h;s election to the of the “Disunion” politicians of Eufaula, who went for him in a body. The great body of the Union Democrats went for Clopton, and stood by the Administration of Pierce. Y\ ellborn, a Union Democrat, in “the Democratic county of Barbour,” was beaten by a Fire-eating Democrat, and two other Fire-eating Whigs who ran on the Southtrn Rights ticket, and a like result happened in other instances in the canvss. In plaiu English, Capt. Abercrombie owes his election to a coalition between the Webster Whigs and the “Disunion” Democracy—and any rnan who striven to make a different impression, is either grossly ignorant of the facts he comments upoii or designedly misrepre sents them. The Scott Whigs went against him in a body, lie lost about 1000 Whig votes in Macon ooun ty alone. The Alabama Legislature. Senate. 1. Mobile—T. B. Bethea. 2. Baldwin, Monroe and Clarke—J. S.

It will be seen that our table of the names of the State | Senators is complete, and that according to that table, which we believe to bo correct, there are twentv-one | Democratic Senators, and twelve Whigs. Our table of the members of the House is not yet complete. The counties of Lawrence, Hancock, and Marion, are yet to hear from, the first being entitled to two members, the other two to one each. Os these four, the Democrats have no doubt eh cted three.— This calculation gives fourteen Democratic majority over all others in the House—-they have a majority of nine in the Senate—twenty-three on joint ballot. Some of the members put down in our lists 3S Whigs, we understand repudiate the name, and say they are Union men, and ran and were elected as such. This is the case in the Ruseell representation, and in the one member from Talladega. They are all old Whig*, however, and will probably act with that party in Legislature.— Advertiser dj Gazette. News from the Mountains* Col. John Collier has been nominated as the can didate of the Conservative party of Decatur for the Legislature. Col. Collier was a JJnion Democrat, ar.d the Conservatives thought by this trick to cheat unsophisticated Democrats into the support of Jenkins for Governor. But Col. Collier trumped their trick. He declined the nomination, and comes out in a very clever letter in defence of Piercf. and the Democratic party. Messrs. R. F. Daniel, Wm. P. Hammond, James McConnell, L. M Coox, Wm. Ward, John 11. YAood and John H. Gregory, of Cherokee County, have come out in a very able letter in favor of Pierce and the National Democracy. They were all Union Whigs James M. Calhoun, the Conservative candidate for Congress against Dent, has been denouncing th. President of the United States as “that monster! Pierce.” Herbchel V. Johnson and Walter T. Colquitt were to address the citizens of Atlanta on the 11th inst. Toombs and Stephens were there on the 10th. [From the Washington Union.] Speech ot Col. Davis on the Pacific Hoad. YVe are now enabled to lay before our readers an aoprnved revisal of the remarks made by Secietary Davi- a Ph 1 idfclphi ■, to which so much of th >j puli lie attention has been directed. It wa- obvious that the speech as heietofore published was imprfeetly r< ported, and t was equally obviou- that, on a ques t nos so much magnitude, it wa- neither just to the speaker nor to the subject that there sh* u ! d jc si any ground for misconception or misunderstanding as to the .-entiinents actually avowed and the prin ciples on which they were maintained. It was un der thi> conviction that we requested Col. Davis to supply t’ e omissions and remove the obscurities aii sing from the imj erfectioiis of the report, he has kn dly complied with our request, aid we now pre sent it with a lull confidence shut the positions an nounced in regard to the Pacific railroad will with -tmd every assault that ingenuity or talent can m: k J upon them. YVe present it as an impregnable document; and, as it involves great quesions of constitu'iona! power and of national interest, we invite to it the most scrutu iz ng attention. It may not be improper for us to remark that Col. Davis drawsclearly and emphatically the distinction between works wi hiu a State and those in the United States territory, and that he di-claims with earnestness all idea of infringing upon the rights or jurisdiction ofthe States. I. will be seen, 100, that Col. Davis has made no allusion to the question of the selection of routes, and in that particular show ing that lie is for the road, and noi fir any particu lar mute, ns the controlling consideration. The President’s Cabinet was toasted, and three cheers for it were propose I by Han. James Bucha nan, and heartily responded to. Hon. Jefferson Davis re-ponded, and sad that he begged leave, on the part of those members of the Cabinet who were present, to return their cordial thanks for the compliment tendered thtin. They s oodin ihe a titude| .f those who ei j *y the advantage of reflected light; yet they did noi think they were indebted for the consideration of those present mere ly because they were members of the Cabim t. It was rather because they were American citizens, and brought within the circle of Pennsylvania hospitality, that that compliment was bestowed on them. [Applause.] Thanks to the increased facilities of intercour-e, Pennsylvania hospitality was not to be limited hereafter, as it had been heretofore, by the slow progress of the old wagon and Conestoga horse, nor by the yet more rapid march of the coach, nor by the yet more rapid means of the railroad. No! Socially, Pennsylvania was tied by lightning to every portion of the older setlie ; merits of the Uni’ed States, and with her coal and 1 iron she was at.out to establish commercial relations with the slope of the Pacific, and to look over into that unknown regi< nos Asia w’hich includes China, and Persia. [Tremendous < heeling, which prevailed for many minutes ] These were results to be an ticipated from the foresight and enegy of the people, not to he effected by stretching the jowets o the Federal Government beyond their legitimate sphere. They knew that he belonged to the -tnct construc tion school, wh ch never turned to the right nor to the left to serve any purpose of expediency. The President ( nterposi.ig) observed that he was certain of that. Mr. Davis resumed. YVitnin the limits of the States they would touch nothing in disregard of State Sovereignty aid righ sos jurisdiction; and in this he spoke not for himself alone but also for his honored chief. [Applause.] But when they looked to theirreeern j ossessiuns on the slope of the Pacific, t‘ ere were two tiling-: wh ch aires’ed attention —the conflicting interests of ad ffei eiit commerce, result ng from the want of easy and rapid communication, and the and tficuiiy of fulfilling one of the g ? eat ends of our Union, that of giving adequate protection by mutu al defence. Upon the pages of history, running back to the remotest ant quity, noth ng is remarked more generally th n that mountains have divided nations, and therefore it had been perhaps some what fai cifully argued as the lighi and shadow feh upon the one side or the other, so would the char acter of men be inodifi* and and government changed. But had it not been, in the prog ess of mind *n its coi flici with matter, that the useful -deuces in the United States had adva< ced, had g. ined additional force; and had they not reached the period when they could triumph over this natural obs acle, when they could skip the mountains, tunnei them, orpa-s them by means known to civil engineering, thus c- mbining opposite mb re-ts, tin ting rem< te iocali- ‘ ties, and socially, commercially and poli it ally binding men together, so i hat the flue nations of I light should become to them as n. thing? [Great applause.] He had said that he was a strict con structionist; but be had always m< eked the idea I that the constitution had one construe!ion w ithin the limits of ihe United States and another outside of them. [Applaus .] He had already repelled the supposition tfiai ins Government could * build a road outside of the L’nited Slates, and could not build one within it. Our constitution was formed to bind the States together, top ovi< e for the com mon defence, to concentrate the power of all for the protection of e;eh,to throw their united shields over every State, over every locality, over every ; ship and individual if ihe Union. [Great ap ; plaus .] r l he other question, which involved the ! i ttegrity of ihe Pacific po.-sessions, was sii i elo- i ser to fraternal feeling and to sense of du'v ; it was one to which he knew ihe heart of Penn sylvania wo dd respond ; it was the question of pro I iection, which in her strength she has always ! -nown herself willing to throw over ‘he weak. in ! he event if a war wi h any of the powerful nn lioi.s ot the earth, California and O f eg. n are expo sed to attack. Fraternity, chivalry, and eonstituiion al obligation would combine to claim for them ade quate p otection. Could i>, with our presen 1 means, be given 1 Could we rely upon an extra territorial lire of communication ? If the Pacific possessions should be threatened by a hostile fleet” the Government w u! a have no sufficient navy there to interpose for their protection, it that host ,e fleet belonged to and fairly represented such a pow er as England or France. It would take ali the navy of the Unied States to keep a road open which wouid cross either of the isthmuses oi this continent. And while the navy oi the United States was thus employed, what would be mote easy than for such a imritiine power as et’her of these to strike at those possessions and rend them from these States, even in the extent nt the gold regions which lay behind the coast ? It, then, as a purely military question, it is necessaiy to have an inter-commumcatii n, so that the Government munitions of war and men could be thrown upon the Pac’fic for its defence, the application oi the war power of that Government to this case would be within the strict limits of the constitution [En thusiastic appause ] But if it could be shown, and be always held his opinion open to correctio i from any quart* r, that these means were not r quired, were nut neces sary—and by necessary he meant absolutely requi i*. d—or and any one would snow the other me. ns which would answer as a sub-titute, low the du ties of the Government could be performed vvi>fl out this auxiliary* m re eff ctively, more ecoi.om rally, win iess exetcise of tlie general powers of ihe Go’ eminent, ihen, as a strict construc tion Democrat, lie w uld accept the proposi tion. (Applause) Under every inge ions eon struction which had been placed uj on the various powers of ti e G 1 veinment to bend them to temporary convenience or i div and. al advan tage ; iituer every ramification whith ingenuity had suggested to supply >y isthmus railroads and c.nais the wants of commerce resultii g from teat deficiency of intercommunicate!), he had insisted that the end should he the d.sch. rge *4 u del< gated trust, and that lie u eai s sh uld t e nece.-sa'V to ihe peifoimanee *f the duty. To defend and maint. in the inhahitants arid territory of our Pacific possessions was ui deniab y a dihg .ted trust ; and the question was, Wh it m *ans were necessary to the discharge of the duty 1 In vain had it been attempted to he shown him how- the military pow er of this Government, which consist* and in the sin ews and s.t ong hearts * f its citizens, c. uld be used on the slope of the Pacific, unless there was a rail road to transmit it. (Applause.) It, then, it could he done by such means only, aid if that hazard existed on the shores of that ocean, he would say that the rest followed as a consequence. Within the territories belonging to he United States die Gen eral Government e* uld certainly construct roads tor milita.y purposes. r l hi- p>>w pr, so long acted on, would not change its nature with the change of the material to be used in the construction ; and it surely constituted no ohjeeti n : f the means em ployed for a legitimate object sh uld contribute to the increase aid developn ent of interests which they were specially designed t” promote. Witeth er iy these or other means effer ted, he would re joice in the fulfi.ment of the anticipation that the smoke of Pennsylvania coal might he seen on the de-ert waste, beneath the c loud-clapped mountains, and Pennsylvania iron, with the very stamp of her own foundries uj on it, might be seen creeping in a long serpentine track to the slopes of tfie Pacific. (Applau-e.) It was not Pennsylvania’s mineral resources alone which were to be benefit ‘d in connexion with these great w. rks. She is the g.eat agricul tural Sate of the Union. Her mines and ntanu fac'ures, w ith their cometuraed power, wielding political influence, have attracted attention greate | than that which belonged to her agriculture ; yet her agricultural in crest was many times more im portant. Nay, rr.oie : she had a commercial inter est which exceeded her mineral and manufactur ng in'erests combined. And why should not com rneree, the handmaiden of agriculture, bear from her huge and well filled bams the accumulated store fi r which the millions of Aia were suffering? Happy in the unfailing abundance of their home, their only want was new markets to consume their | surplus store. Not only free from want, hut from j the fear of it, their attention could safely be turn i ed to the sufferings of other lands. And there was something which it seemed to him | ought to swell the heart ofP< nnsylvania with pecu | liar pride, when she looked back* to the land iron. I which her sturdy farmers sprung, and s aw upon i her ow n broad bosom those emps which could hush ! the Wail of hunger when the years of t. mine came upon her fatherland. The political temple she bad reared in the woods of Penn stood with open poi- I tals, from which went forth an invita?ion and a wel i come, not •• erely to a land of refuge, but of support. [Applause.] j He felt that the occasion was not one to wander I into broad themes of discussion; he had trespassed too much alret dy, [Cites of -Goon! go on !*’] ?dr. Davis, resum ng.

Liver Disease.— Carter’s Spanish Mixtu'ie, as a tern* dv f.r liver disease, and the number of foimidable evils con nected with a disorganized state of that organ, is unrival led. Hundreds of certificates, from the highest sources, of per sons now living in the city of Richmond, Va.,migi t be giv en of cures effected by Carters Spanish Mixture. We have only room to refer to the extraordinary cure of Sami. M. Drinker, Esq ,of the firm of Drinker & Morris, Book i se/iers, Richmond, \ a., w r ho was cured by two bottles of Carter s Spanish Mixture, after three years’ suffering from diseased liver. He says its action on the blood is wonder ful, better than ail the medicine he had ever taken, and Ciieertusiy recommends it to all. See Advertisement. August 12 —Ini. A Remarkable case of Scrofula cured by Hollo'cay's Ointment and Fills.— The son of Mr. Aliiday, 209 High street, Cheltenham, when three years old, was afflicted with Scrofula in the neck, and the di.-ea-e increased so fearfully, that in four years he had ten ulcers on his body, besides a tumor between the eyes. Ihe best medical t eatment afforded him no relief, the biood being so corrupt that it was considered impossible to subdue the disea.-e. At this crisis HoUoway’s Pills and Ointment were resorted to, aid with i reat success, for ir. two months the boy was soundly cuted by their use, and he has continued well for the last three years.
