Withdrawals.—Col. Btallworth.
Mr. Forsyth: You rarely hear of “ withdrawals ”
through the Whigs now—indeed, never ! But we daily
hear of them through their withdrawn members.
I loaru by withdrawing Dunoerats that at next Satur
day's meeting, every Democratic member of the Bashi
Council will withdraw, leaving only a few Whigs to ad
minister on the concern.
Also, I have the best authority for saying that the De
mocrats of Dixon's Mills Council have and will be with
drawn by next meeting. At Choctaw Corner th© good
work is also going bravely on.

The Xansaa Legislature and Gov. Reeder.
Kansas, July 26.—The committee appointed by the ]
Legislature to draw up it memorial to the President for |
the removal of Gov. Reeder, reported yesterday. The j
memorial sets forth various complaints against Gov. j
.Reeder ; calling him a clog to the wheels of government |
aud praying for his immediate removal.
Political.
A democratic convention, the largest for many years,
was held at Montpelier (Ac..) ou Wednesday last, the
Hon. Luther B. Hunt presiding. The State nominations
made were, for Governor, Merril Clark, of Ponltney ; for
lieutenant Governor, Stoddard B. Colby, of Montpelier ;
tor Treasurer, John A. Page, of Montpelier. A series of
resolutions, approving and commending the policy of
President Pierce's administration, were supported by
Frauds A. Eastman. Esq., of Windsor, and adopted.—
The proceedings were characterized bv harmony and en
thusiasm throughout.
New Judge in Tin gland. —Mr. Justice Maule has re*
tired from the bench of the English Court of Gammon
Pleas ou account of ill health. He had been on the bench
for 16 years, and his judicial decisions have always been
highly esteemed by American studeuts of the English re
ports. Mr. J. S. Willps is his successor. He is 12 years
of age, and has been at the bar only 15 years.
Georgia Lieutenants. —Among the recent appoiut- .
moots to the Army from civil life, we notice the names of
St. Clair Hearing aqd Arthur Shaaf, of Georgia, as 2d
Lieutenants.
Laconic. —Governor Gardner, of Mass., having trails- ,
milled to Gov. Adams, of South Carolina, a series of i
resolutions passed by the Legislature of Massachusetts, in j
favor of the French spoliation claims, and auother series
relative to the Territory of Kausas, with a rejuest that he j
would submit them to the Legislature of South Carolina,
he replied as follows, according to a Boston correspon
dent of the Tribuue, probably regarding Massachusetts,
since her nulliiioation act, as no longer belonging to the ;
American Union :
“I cannot consent, under existing circumstances, to be
the medium of oommunieatiug any action of the Legis
lature of Massachusetts to the t?uite over which l have the
honer to preside. ’’
.1 Fight between Gen. Pillow and Maj. Dautlson
A persona! collision recently occurred at Columbia,
Teim.. between Major Donelson anil General Pillow.—
Donelson, in the course ol a speech, denounced the mem
bers ot the National Convention as traitors. Pillow, be
ing in the crowd, promptly replied. “You lie—you lie,
*ir !*’ Donelson rejoined, “You arc an impertinent
fool 1” Geo. Pillow rushed toward the stand bat was
arrested by the crowd. Donelson obtained a stick and
went on with his remarks. He said he did not mean to
charge all the members of the Convention with being
traitors, but, in this exception, be did not embrace Gen.
Pillow. Gen. Pillow then denounced birn fiercely as a
kar, and a tiaitor to the Democracy and to the country,
and rushed at the stand, but was arrested. When Maj.
Domdson closed, Gun. Pillow was shouted for, and
mounted the stand.
(Jen. Piiiow said to Maj. Doiielsmi : “If you eharge
or insinuate that you then denounced them as traitors,
or if yon now make the charge, it is false !—it is false,
sir !' 5 At this point Maj. Donelson struck Gen. Piiiow
on the arm, and Gen. Piiiow gave him a blow on the
head. They were thee separated. After great excite
men!, G*'tt Pillow again took theeMpJ end finished hie

Immigration and Religions Toleration.
Encourage immigration, encourage the husbandmen,
the the merchants of the old world to come
and settle m th • world ©f promise ; make it the home
ot the skilllul, the industrious and the happy, as weli as
t e asy am ot the distressed ; fill up the measure of your
population as you cau by t h e means which Heaven has
placed in your power, and I venture to prophecy there
are those living who will see this favsred land among the
most powerful on earth. Yes, sir, they will see her great
in arts and arms, her golden harvests running over an
immeasurable extent, her commerce penetrating the most
distint seas, and her cannon silencing the vain boast of
those who now appear to rule the waves.”— Patrick
Henry.
‘‘The honest, patient and industrious German, readily
unites with our people, establishes himself upon some of
our fat lands, fills capacious barns, aud enjoys in tran
quility, tfce abundant fruits which hie diligence gathers
around him, always ready to fly to the standard of his
adopted country or its laws, when called by the duty of
patriotism. The gay, the versatile, the philosophical
Frenchman, accommodating himself cheerfully to all the
vicissitudes of life, incorporates hims.-ls without dlf
ficulty iu our society. But of all foreigners, none amal
gamate themselves so quickly with our people as the ‘na
tives of the Emerald Isle.’ In some of the visions that
have passed through my imagination, I have supposed that
Ireland was originally a part and parcel of this continent, and
that by some extraordinary convulsion of nature, it'was
torn from America, and drifting across the oceau, it was
placed in the unfortunte vicinity of Great Britain. The
same open-heartedness, the same generous hospitality,
the same careless and unealculating indifference about
human life, characterizes the inhabitants of both countries.
Kentucky has been sometimes called the Ireland of Ame
rica ; and I have no doubt that if the current of immi
gration were revieed and set from America, upon the
shores of Europe, instead of being from Europe to Arne
rica, every American emigration to Ireland would there j
find as every Irish emigrant here finds, a hearty welcome !
and h happy home.—Henry Clay.
“It seems to be the Amerioan destiny, the mission
which have been entrusted to us here on the shore ot the
Atlantic, the conception and the great duty to which we
are born, to show that all sects and all denominations,
professing reverenoo for the authority of the author of
our being and belief in his revelations, may safely be tol.
erated without prejudice either to our religion or our lib
erties.
“We are protestants generally speaking, but you all
know that there presides at the head of the Supreme
Judicature of the United Slates a Roman Catholio ; and
no man, I suppose, through the whole United States,
imagines that the Judiciary is less safe, and the adminis
tration of pnblic justice is less respectable or less secure,
because the Chief Justice of the United States has been,
and is, a firm adherent of that religion—and so it is in
every department of society among us.
“Iu both Houses of Congress, in all public offices, we
proceed on the idea that a man’s religious belief is a mat
ter above human law, that it is a question to be settled
between him and his Maker, because he is responsible to
uone but his Maker for adopting or rejecting the reveal
ed truth.
“And here is the great distinction which is sometimes
overlooked, and which I am afraid is now too often over
looked iu New Eugland, the glorious inheritance of the
sons of the Pilgrims.
“Men for ther religious sentiments are accountable to
God, and to God alone!” — Daniel Webster,
General Jail Delivery.
On Sunday evening last, about seven o’clock, Mr. Jag.
E. Williamson, the turnkey entered the Jail of this City,
and being informed l>y a white prisoner that two negroes
in one of the cells had a knife, he entered it to search
but was immediately knocked down by them—and, with
the assistance of one or two of the white prisoners, ho
was choked, securely bound, and his head wrapped in a
blanket. The keys were taken, all the cells opened, and
the prisoners to the number of ten liberated. As it was
net dark, they remained about two hours before they ven
tured to leave. Williamson, then by the aid of his teeth,
succeeded in releasing himself. He is very much inju
red by choking and beating. The prisoners escaped are,
Wm. Daniel and Jas. Davidson, of Macon, confined for
steaiing—James Campbell for harboring a negro, Peter
Crawford, under a peace warrant, Wm. Denning, for
murder committed in Macon County, and Tho. Hatcher
of Baker County, sentenced to the Penitentiary for as
sault with intent to kill, Thus. Riviere’s negro Edmund,
of Upson—David, belonging to isaao Nolan, of Butts,
Jim, belonging to Lewie Melton of Chesterfield Dis. S.
C., and Bill, from Houston for assault with intent to kill
Mr. J. 11. Rumph. Up to this lime, nothing has beeu
heard of the prisoners. —Macon Journal c$- Messenger ,

Not Done Banking Yet. —The Hawaiian legislatu g
have granted a banking charter to Messrs. Pago, Bacon
& Cos., of Honolulu. Its provisions are net fully stated
in the papers, but from the scattered notices which appear
it is probable that the house has obtained an exclusive
privilege to prosecute banking for at least ten years. As
Mr. Page bad suddenly “made tracks” from San Fran
cisco, at last dates, quite to the disappointment of those
who were the losers by „his banking in California, it is
probable that he may next turn up in the performance of
a “good turn” for the Hawaiian people.

.Myron Norton was nominated for the long term, receiv
ing 188 votes to 91 for R. P. Sprague. The following is

ments within the State. C. Nor to assume State debts

another. E. And should practice rigid economy. F. And

I nothings to come back and go tor tne democratic ticket-^

Great Excitement.— Our people are prodigiously
i aroused, in consequence of the threatening aspect of af
l fairs, brought to light by the ceusus of 1850 ; from
which we learn that there are actually 5,740 foreigner
in Tennessee, men,, woineu and children, scattered all
over the State, in a native white population of 755,655
soule a proportion t{ one to one hundred and forty !
| - u "ht not the courageous and chivalrous sous of our
State to tremble at the prospects before them ? Will net
this one being (perhaps a babe) rise up and subject tho
| one hundred and forty, and deprive them of “their relig
ious and po’iticieal liberty?” The mind shudders in
wardly at the gloomy future. No longer will Sir Jack
Lalstaff be revered for his marvelous propensities--a eit
cainstanse alone of ominous meaning—should this im
pending ruin crumble upon the people and their iuetitu
ions.—Chattanoga Advertiser.

, Richmond, Va., July 9th, 1855.
Messrs. II m, S'. Beers & Cos., Gents;— Considerations of du
ty to the afflicted alone prompt me to send you this voluntary
testimonial to the great value of ‘■'■Carter's Spanish Mixture”
for that almost incurable disease, Scrofula.
Without being disposed or deeming it necessary to go into
the particulars of the cast-, 1 can sav that the astonishing results
that have been produced by the use of that medicine or, a
member of my own family, and under ray own observation and
superintendence, after the skill of the‘best physicians had
been exhausted aud all, the usual remedies ha t* fared, fully
justify mein recommending its use to all who may b • -offer
ing from that dreadful malady.
1 do not mean to say that it'is adapted to all constitutions, or
that it will afford the same reliet in all cases; for, © course, I
know nothing about that—but from what I have seen of the ef
fects, I would not hesitate to use it, in any and every case of
Scrofula, with persons lor whom l felt au interest, or over
whom I could exercise influence or control.
Very respectfully,

Diseases of tlie Diver.— When the celebrated Dr.
Rush declared drunkenness was a disease, he enunciated a truth
which the experience and observation of medical men is eve
ry day confirming. The many apparently insane excesses of
those who indulge in the use of spirituous liquors, roaj be
hus accounted for. The tiue cause of conduct, which is taken
for infatuation, is very frequently u diseased state of the Liver.
No organ of the system, when deranged, produces a more
frightful catalogue of diseases. And if, Instead of applying
remedies to the manifestations of disease, as is to often Ihe
case, physicians would prescribe with a view to the original
cause, fewer deaths would result from diseases induced by a
deranged state of the Liver. Three fourths of the diseases
enumerated under the head of Consumption, have their seat
in a diseased Liver. (See Dr. Gunn’sgreat works.)”
Purchasers will please be caretui to ask for DR. M’LANE’B
CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, and take none else. There are
other Pills, purporting to ho Liver Pills, now before the public.
