[Correspondence of the Mobile Daily Register.! 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 But we daily hear of them through their withdrawn members.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. Bashi, Ala., July 25, 1855. Clarke. 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 Patrick Henry, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster on 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 , August 1. 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. There are live huudred troops lor the Crimea at Halifax, awaiting a conveyance to England. Democratic State Convention of California The Democratic State Convention met at Sacramento on the 27th of June. The first ballot fora Candidate for Governor was taken on the 28th with the following result: Gov. Bigler 128 M. S. Latham 115 Scattering 42 285 There being no choice, the convention adjourned to the 29th, when on the first ballot Gov. Bigler was nominated by 157 votes, all the other candidates 128.

Bolts 13 Eugene Casserly 7 Feleh.... ~ 251 .Myron Norton was nominated for the long term, receiv ing 188 votes to 91 for R. P. Sprague. The following is an abstract of the “platform” adopted by the Convention: j 1. The democratic party trusts in the people. 2. This trust distinguishes democracy from federalism in all shapes. 3. The democracy re-asserts old democracy principles : A. The federal constitution should be construed strictly.— B. Congress has no authority to make internal improve ments within the State. C. Nor to assume State debts D. And should not protect one occupation more than an another. E. And should practice rigid economy. F. And should keep public moneys away from banks. G. And should not restrict privileges of foreigners to become eitF zens or land owners. 11. And has no power to interfere with slavery in the Stales. . ■ . 4. The California democracy will sustain the fugitive slave law. ... 5. Aod will resist all agitation ol the slavery question under every shape. _ „ , . , c ... 6. Aud is in favor of the Pacific Kauroad, ana of aiding it by “legislation.’’ . . .. 7. And in favor of legislation to secure rights ot miners and settlers in good tai*n on “lands” in this State. 8. And denounces “all secret political organizations having tor their object the proscription ot any American citizen, “as contrary to the spirit ol our institutions, and “treasonable in their effect if not in design.’ 9. And repudiates the proscription ot any citizen oecauae ; of birth place and religion. , ~ ... 10. And invites all democrats who have joined the knov I nothings to come back and go tor tne democratic ticket-^ • H. The convention will require every nominee to euiv S scribe to the foregoing platform. 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. [Letter from Hon. John Minor Botts, of Virginia.] , 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.

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.
