THE CHRYSTAL PALACE OF CONCORD.
Such is the name given to the magnificent
building which is in the process of erection in
Hyde Park, London, to contain the contribu
tions of all nations for the great Exhibition of
1851. The universal interest felt in this sub
ject, has induced us to present an engraving of
the projected building—an interest which will
constantly widen and deepen as the time for
the exhibition approaches. This wonderful
production of art is 1848 feet long by 408 broad,
covering about 18 acres of ground, and giving
with the galleries an exhibiting surface of 21
acres. The total cubic contents will be 33,000,-
000 feet, giving room for forming 8 miles of
exhibition tables. A gallery round the inside
will extend nearly a mile. The number of
columns will be 3230, varying in length from
14 feet 6 inches to 20 feet. They, with the
sashes and glass, will be throughout similar in
form. There will be 2244 cast-iron girders
for supporting the galleries and roofs, 1128
intermediate bearers, and 358 wrought iron
trusses. The gutters for carrying off the
water, ingeniously carried through the col
umns, will be 34 miles in length. There will
be 282 miles of sash bars and 900,000 super
ficial feet of glass. Some wood will be used

The Southern Rights Party*
There are many points of similarity in the
position, principles, and purposes, of the
Southern Rights Party of Georgia, at this
time, and the State Rights Party of Georgia
after the Compromise of March, 1833.
The hostility of the Southern people to the
protective tariff policy of the North, was as
bitter and determined then, as is now its
hostility to the spirit of anti-slavery encroach
ment. The selfish and atrocious purpose of
the non-slaveholding States to appropriate all
our territorial acquisitions to themselves, as
manifested by the pertinacity with which the
enactment of the Wilmot Proviso was press
ed, has not created a warmer spirit of indig
nation at the South, than was aroused by the
enactment of the tariffs of 1828 and of 1832.
The feeling of resentment which commenced
gathering strength and rallying the entire
South in 1828, gradually rose in intensity
during the next four years, until the South
became united almost as one man, in the belief
that it was an intolerable outrage upon the
Constitution, upon the rights of the people,and
especially upon the peculiar interests of the
staple-growing States. The enactment of the
tariff of 1832 was looked upon as the climax
of oppression. It provoked the high-spirited
and chivalrous State of South-Carolina into
open defiance of the law, and in solemn con
vention, in November, 1832, she declared,
that on and alter the Ist of February, 1833,
the tariff law should be null, void, and of no
effect, within her borders.
Whether she was right or wrong in this
step —whether a nullification of the act was,
in the language of Mr. Jefferson, “ the right
»UL remedt,” or not, is a question we will
not now argue. It is very certain, however,
that it proved an ejfectual remedy. The offen
sive tariff bill of 1832, was allowed to stand
but a very few \yeeks longer on the statute
book, and in March, 1833, the Compromise i
bill was passed.
This was a noble triumph for the State of
South-Carolina. She not only led the van of
that battle, but fought it alone. There was a
party in Georgia, and in the other Southern
States, that sympathized with her in feeling,
and to some extent, in the conviction that
her nullification doctrines were correct. But
the popularity of Gen. Jackson, then Pres
ident, was overshadowing at the South, and
arrayed majorities in each of the other South
* ern States in opposition to the action of South
Carolina. In those days there was a Union
party in Georgia* as there is now. In those
days there was a State Rights Party in Geor
gia, as there is now a Southern Rights Party.
The Compromise of 1833 found the State of
Georgia still divided between the Union Party
(so calling itself,) and the State Rights Party.
It is at this point we desire to take up the
analogy between the parties then dividing
the State of Georgia, and tho.e dividing it
bow, # , ,
The Compromise bill having settled the
difficulty which threatened a bloody collision
between South-Carolina and the Federal Gov- •
ernment, and consequent dissolution of the
for joists and flooring, but the most of the
building material will be glass and iron, the
entire outside being composed of them. The
entire cost of erecting and maintaining the
building for use, is estimated at £150,000, or
about $750,000. It is proposed, however, to
dispose of the materials after the close of the
exhibition, in which event the expense will
be reduced to £79,800. Whie the actual labor
of construction proceeds, a vast amount of
preparatory work goes on simultaneously.
Sash bars, window frames, &c., are got ready
by hundreds of workmen under neighboring
sheds. Piles of material are collected in every
part of the ground, and on the Ist of Decem
ber three fourths of it was on hand, 900 hands
were then employed, soon to be increased to
1500. The iron work is all brought from Bir
mingham. The glass is all furnished by one
firm. The timber used is from the Baltic, and
of excellent quality. Gas has been laid in
the grounds and the work is continued during
most or all the night. Within a commodious
set of offices the heads of departments regulate
the w 'rk and prescribe the dejision of labor
to be pursued. An ingenious system of brass
checks or tokens, has been devised to determine
Union, the danger of disunion ceased. The
people of Georgia, at least, were well satisfied
with the adjustment, and it is as to the public
opinion of this State, and the attitude of its
parties, then, that we confine ourselves.—
There was then, after March, 1833, no ques
tion before the people of Union or Disunion.
In the October elections previous the cry
had been raised to the prejudice of the State
Rights Party, and resulted in the overwhelm
ing triumph of the Un ; on or Jackson party.
But with the Compromise, that question as a
practical issue, was put at rest. It became
a dead question. Still there arose out of that
controversy points of political doctrine, ques
tions of State Rights and State remedies,
questions as to the powers of the Federal Gov
ernment, and the means of holding it in
check, which continued to be active princi
ciples, and which gav£ tone and character to
the respective parties in the State.
The State Rights Party held the doctrines
then, that the Southern Rights Party of Geor
gia do now. It was the party which upheld
the sovereignty of the State in opposition to
the doctrines of Gen. Jackson’s proclamation.
It was the party of Strict Construction, in
opposition to Consolidation. It was the party
that emblazoned on its banner the Jeffersonian
principles of '9B and '99, and kept the faith
pure amidst the general corruptions and de
moralization which tainted the dominant par
ty under the malign influence of the dema
gogue Martin Yan Buren and his Albany Re
gency tactics.
This unflinching adherence to principles
which have always been in the ascendency in
Georgia from the days when Jefferson and the
Republican party triumphed over the elder
Adams and the Federalists, finally resulted, in
the triumph of the State Rights Party in
Georgia.
Tjbe charge of disunionism survived for
years to their injury, after the questions of
Nullification and Disunion were disposed of
and set at rest by the Compromise. The
Union party of that day adroitly kept up the
cry of “Union, Union” —“Down with the
Disunioniats ,” and by means of it continued in
power in Georgia for years on this cry alone.
It was nearly their ennre stock in trade, and
they made the most of it. But Jackson Yan
Buren democracy met a severe reverse in 1836.
The State Rights Party triumphed in their
electoral ticket for Hugh L. White, in oppo
sition to the Yan Buren ticket. The cry of
“Union, Union,” had become a senseless
party humbug, with which the people could
no longer be duped, and from that time the
State Eights Party maintained, at least, an
equal position in the State with the Union or
jpemoeratic Party.
It is aside from our purpose to trace the
career of that party further, though it may
not be amiss here to remark, that it is found
deserting, for expediency sake , first its name,
and then its principles, and finally rallies un
der the National Bank and Protective Tariff
Banner, with their old opponent, Henry Clay,
for their leader. It met that fate which soon
er or later, must overtake every party which
forfeits its political integrity and becomes a
traitor to its principles. It could neyer rea
sonably hope, afterwards, to regain its posi
tion, except by availing itself of transient ex
citements, and making artful and deceptive
appeals to popular prejudices.
This position that party, aided by a fraction
the number of hours per day for which each
man has labored, and the pay which is due
him. The whole business is carried on in the
most systematic and orderly manner, and it is
very remarkable with how little noise and bus
tle the work proceeds. Nearly everything is
brought on the ground ready to be put up,
and the loudest sound which reaches the ear
is the occasional chick of the hammer, “clos
ing up rivets.” Over so large a space the
noise of labor is lost, and the building rises
almost as noiselessly as did Solomon’s temple.
Not only will America furnish her full share
of articles for the exhibition, but the ingenui
ty of one of her sons is likely to be brought
into exercise for the erection of the building
itself. We learn that Mr. Benjamin Hardinge,
of Cincinnati, has proposed to cover the iron
columns, pilasters, entablatures, &e., with a
kind of porcelain or variegated enamel, giving
them the richness and beauty of the choicest
polished marble and precious stones, viz:—the
agate, chalcedony, jasper and other siiicious
formations. He also proposes to apply liquid
siliciates to the glass in variegated colored
crystals, in prismatic or softly blended rain
bow tints, which will give a beautiful mellow
of the old Democratic party under a few am
bitious leaders, is now again attempting to re
ga n by the adroit use ot the cry of “ Union,
Union,” the effect of which told so disas
trously, and so unfairly against the State
Rights Party in 1833, 1834 and 1835. It is
for this purpose the Constitutional Union
Party is projected. This is the key to its
formation at Milledgeville last December.
The analogy between the Southern Rights
Party of Georgia in 1851, and the State Rights
Party of 1833 consists in the following points.
The State Rights Party had aimed to resist
the operation of a Congressional act which
they looked upon as a violation of the Consti
tution and grossly unjust and oppressive, and
had been defeated by the Union Party, or sub
missionists of that day. The question of re
sistance, whether by secession, nullification
or other mode of State interposition, had been,
disposed of at the ballot box, and as far a»
Georgia was concerned was a dead question,
even before the passage of the Compromise
bill in 1833.
The Southern Rights Party of Georgia in
1850 sought to resist the action of Congress
by which the South had been deprived of all
sharein the acquired territories, and to com
pel a fair division by the line of 36 30. They
were defeated in the effort, and an over
whelming majority of delegates in the State
Convention called to act on the question pro
nounced that the people of Georgia would ac
quiesce in the action of Congress—or in other
words submit to the measures of adjustment
which were so unpalatable to the Southern
Rights Party.
The question of resistance or submissionTs
therefore no longer pending in Georgia. It is
practically as entirely closed and settled as
was the tariff controversy in March, 1833.
The opinions and feelings of the Southern
Rights Party are unchanged by that result.—
But it cannot be said that the people of Geor
gia have still to decide whether that adjust
ment was such an outrage on their rights as to
call for some action, whether by secession or
otherwise.
But the Union or Submission Party of 1851
are as unwilling to forego the advantages of
humbug and falsehood, as were the Union
Party of 1833. Hence they continue to ring
the changes on the term, Union. Hence
they claim to be the exclusive lovers and up
holder* of the Union in Georgia. Hence they
charge the Southern Rights Party with being
a Disunion Party, whose present purposes are
a dissolution of the Union—whose success in
Georgia, in any future election would result
in the secession of Georgia from the Union.—
Hence they appeal to the people to keep the
Union Party in power as necessary to the sal
vation of the Union-
This dishonest and mendacious course is not
destined to achieve more than a temporary
success. It cannot succeed as well, or as long
as it did after the Compromise of 1833. It
will not serve to fight three campaigns upon,
and may not survive one. The least sagacity
will at once perceive that there is no more
probability that the Sonthern Rights Party of
Georgia, when it attains the political ascen
dency in the State, whether this be in 1851,
1852, or 1853, will carry Georgia out of the
Union for any past aggressions of Congress on
Southern Rights, than there was that the
State Rights Party of Georgia would have
done the same in 1833-4-5 or 6. The only
«-ontingeneies in any way probable, in which
light to the interior and supercede the blinds
which were at first proposed to modify the
glare of light through such an immense sur
face of glass. The expense of this will be
comparatively small. The material being com
posed of quartz or white sand dissolved in
large quantities through the agency of hydro
fluoric acid, and other solvents. It is said to
be the cheapest finish upon iron or glass ever
known, is applied with great facility, and so
hard as not to be moved by a file.
The building will have been completed
when this article reaches our readers, “and a
vast temple,” says and English paper, “will
have been raised, in which the brotherhood of
nations is to be celebrated—a temple enjoy
ing the temperature of June, at once through
ly ventilated and refreshed, light in appearance
as a bamboo cane, and strong as a Norman
Keep, with decorations as graceful as those of
the Alhambra, and resembling nothing per
haps that was ever before erected, but some
gigantic conservatory at once graceful and
magnificent.” To give an idea of the extent of
the building, we would state, that the tree in
the foreground is a specimen of hundreds of
others inclosed in this building.
the past aggressions of the Federal Govern
ment may result in the Southern Rights Par
ty of Georgia, in case of its ascendancy car
rying Georgia out of the Union, would be
the secession of South Carolina and the attempt
of the Federal Government to coerce her back in
to the Union. Should these contingencies
axise, the Southern Rights Party, it is not to
be doubted, would then become a Disunion
Party, and would at once carry the State of
Georgia in favor of withdrawal from such a
Confederacy. Such an atrocity upon State
sovereignty as this would at once arouse the
entire South. There could then be no Union
Party in the South. No such party could
sustain itself against the irrepressible sym
pathy for a sister Southern State struggling
for her sovereign rights —for sacred justice—
for liberty—for existence.
The whole South would sing with the clan
gor of arms, and the shouts of her citizen sol
diery rallying to the defence of a cause dear
to all and common to all.
But we cannot suppose that both these con
tingencies are likely to occur to make Geor
gia a Disunion State. Nor is it altogether im
possible that South Carolina, bitterly as she
feels the wrongs and humiliations that have
been put upon her, in common with the oth
er slaveholding States, will yet be induced to
forego her present purpose of secession on ac
count of the past.
There were during the canvass of last sum
mer, and there are now in the Southern
Pvighta Party of Georgia some thorough go
ing . disunionists. But they had not then
the numbers or influence to carry the par
ty with which they acted, for disunion.—
Their policy was not then, and is not now the
policy of the Southern Rights Party. But
while it was uncertain which party might ob
tain the ascendency in the election of delegates
to the Convention, and it was also uncertain
to what extent the desire for disunion prevail
ed in the ranks of the Southern Rights Party,
many citizens, Southern Rights men in feel
ing and opinion, but not sympathising in
that desire, but yet favorable to less extreme
measures—citizens who saw nothing for the
South to rejoice over in the Clay Compromise
measures, and had no word of thanks for those
who passed it, voted for Union candidates, or
would not vote at all. They will in future
vote and act with the Southern Rights Party.
They will continue to act with it and he a
part of it as long as that party remains true
to itself—to its principles of State Rights and
strict construction —to its exclusive devotion
to the cause of the South, her rights and in
terests, against which the whole anti-slavery
interest? of the Union are leagued in undying
hostility—true to the position the South has
already yielded too much, and that the very
last inch of ground has been given up—the
\ery last encroachment has been submitted to,
and that the time has come when the South
should cut loose from all Northern alliances
and all national party entanglements, and con
centrate all her energies in an independent
Southern Party for Southern defence, and
protection against future aggressions.
Hitherto the South has relied upon North
ern parties and Northern politicians, to find
herself either betrayed and cheated, or to find
those who are friendly to her, ruthlessly over
whelmed by the predominant and over-power
ing hostility of every Northern constituency
to the institution of slavery.
The South has hitherto suffered herself to
be divided between the two great national
parties, the Whig and the Democratic, and
has thereby been reduced to a cypher in her
influence upon the legislation of the country,
Bach of those parties have from the strength
of these party association, found ready apolo
gists at the South for any measure of injus
tice to her interests which either might con
template. They have found Southern politi
cians looking to national parties for honors
and for office, or, moved by intemperate *eal
for its interests and success, too ready to com
promise the rights of their section for the
benefit of their party.
The protection of the South from such evil
influences can only be found in the success
The Southern Rights Party. The best reli
ance, under Heaven in times of difficulty and
peril is self-reliance.
“ Weak friends may fly from us, and false
ones betray," but if the Southern people will
unite, and determine to take care of themselves
without asking favors of national parties and
politicians, they have no more injustice and
outrage to fear.
The Ship Hobert Isaac-
A paragraph in the Savannah Georgian of
the Bth, states that the account of the ship
Robert Isaac, which appeared in our editorial
columns a few days ago, was “ incorrect in all its
particulars '' and states that it has a communi
cation from Mr. Thus. Pierson, the only pas
senger on board, giving a true account of the
voyage, which would appear in the Georgian
of the 10th. The Georgian of that date does
not contain it. When it appears, if not too
long, we will insert it entire. In the mean
time we publish the following letter from Mr.
C. F. Mills, brother of the Captain of the
Robert Isaao.
The account we gave was exactly as we re
ceived it in our office, a few days since, from
a gentleman of this community, who had
goods on board the vessel, and the accuracy
of whose memory we had no reason to doubt.
It seems, however, that frail memory of events
of such long date, cannot compete with writ
ten memoranda taken at the time. He tells
us that he related the circumstances as well
as he could recollect from the recitals of oth
ers, shortly after the fate of the Robert
was made known.
Savannah, Feb. 7, 1851.
Editor Constitutionalist :—
Dear Sir :—My attention has been called
to an article in the Georgian of this morning,
as from your paper, referring to the ship Rob
ert Isaac. But for the concluding paragraph*
alluding to Insurance offices, settling risk*,,
and the application for letters of administra
tion, I would take no notice of it. The entire
statement is inaccurate in its particulars. The
ship did not belong to Mr. G. B. Lamar : Capt*
Mills and myself each had the same interest in
the vessel which Mr. Lamar had. The entire
cargo teas not thrown overboard—probably
not the half of it. A plank was not ripped
trom the deck and converted into a “sort of
oar.” She was not assisted into port by &
pilot boat. It was not six months from the
date of sailing to the date of the first tidings
of their safety. The ship sailed from Liver
pool 21st January, 1839, and anchored in
A.ngra Bay, Island of Tereoira on the 30 th
March, being sixty-eight days—and the fact
was known in Liverpool previous to 20tb,
April— ( less than three months .)
I received letters detailing particular on or
before 11th May, 1839—one of Which was
published in the morning editions, D f our city
papers, Monday, 13th May, I&3s.
No one but myself would nave had the
least inducement, or nght> to have applied for
letters of administration G n my brother's 9fl
fairs, (or estate)—and I never thought of sr aC h
a thing—and I honestly believe no ora© else
was guilty of interference in the matter,
I again repeat, that, but for the allusions to
letters of administration, I should have taken
no notice of the article* Yours respectfullv,
C. F. Mills.

Gen. Cass he-elected.— We learn from a
private despatch, that Gen. Cass has be/cn re
