The Danger Whig of the 20th says, that the
new settlors upon the Aroostook have driven oil’
the Provincial trespassers. It appears that, a
fortnight since, six or eight teams came up from
the St. John Diver, and as usual, began lo tres
pass upon the timber on the Aroostook. The
settlers associated themselves together, about one
hundred in number, am] immediately drove off
those trespassers from the territory. It will be
recollected that the Aroostook is on ibis side of
the St. John, ami within the acknowledged juris
dicliuli of Maine, although within the tract clai
med by Great Urilain.
' Mexico and Texas.
The N. O. True American of the 23d says,
information has been received in this place,
which justifies us in the belief that Mexico will
soon recognise the Independence of Texas.
Every interest in the former would lead every
one knowing the relative situation of the two
countries, to believe that it will soon ho accom
plished, and therefore place Texas in an indepen
dent stand among the Depublics of North America-

It is currently reported that among the charges
brought against Mr. Mxlt.bh, one of our candi
dates for the Senate, the gravest is that he appear
ed as Counsel, in defence of a slave recently
convicted of a capital crime.
In a country iu which the laws have establish
ed courts for the trial of slaves, and allowed thorn
the privilege of counsel, it is strange enough lo
object lo an officer of one of these comts, as Mr.
Miller was, that he took part In an investigation
before it, involving the life of a fellow creature.
-His vindication ought to bo considered fully
made out by the mere mention of bisprulessiotial
chaiaclcr. Hut sitJce some men, from want of
timclo reflect, are as much influenced by names
us by facts and principles, permit me to state to
you some of the circumstances of this case,
shewing the views of the most active member of
the party opposed to Mr. Miller, and from whose
opposition he has most lo fear.
General Thomas Glascock, the most efficient
friend of General Walker, and lire strongest op
ponent of Mr. Miller, was, himself, employed by
Mr. Stovall, the owner of the slave in question, I
to defend him—actually attended, as bis counsel,
ot one of tire preliminary examinations, at which
he was silent, only (as he told his client) became
, he thought it best to boa mere listener, that the
/ prosecutrix and her witnesses might not ho on
their guard—and, finally, excused himself from
appearing at the trial, unly Inxaiisc previou en
gagements called him to lire up Country, at the
same lime, advising .Mr S. tu cmhlon .)/,
.Miller, so that whatever others may say, General
Glascock, at lead, cannot censure Mi. Miller I'm
tilling the place which ho vacated, only h, L , ut ..
he was obliged to do so.
,
The laws of your State secured t > the slave
the juivilcgo of h trial hy jury and defonee hy
counsel. If no counsel had boon employed, it
would have hech the iluli/ of the Court to ap
point Mr. Alillcror some other attorney to defend
him. Will it then he objected to Mr. Miller, and
especially hy the friends of Gen. Glasscock, that
ho has done what the General himself would
have done, hut lor oile r engagements —what he
advised Mr. S. to call on Mr. Miller to do, and
what ho, or Mr. Miller, or any other attorney
might have been required to do for any culprit,
however guilty.
It might as well he objected to the other can
didate, Gen. Walker, one of iho Judges in the
very ease, that he presided at the trial of this
slave, and gave him, as lie expressed it, in his.
own pcculur style, when pronouncing iho sen
tence of death, “as fair a chance ns if ho had
been as white as any of us.”
The plain truth is, that Gen. Walker, as Judge,
and Mr. Miller, as Counsel, did hut their duly—
a duly from which neither would meanly bkitlL
because the knowing ones thought it would he
unpopular; in the mere thinking of which, they
insulted our feelings of justice olid humanity,
our common sense and respect for the laws and
institutions of our country,

The date of public business enables me to
dose this protracted and laborious session.
1 have to lament that the civil war in Spain
forms an exception to the general tranquility, 1
continue to receive from all torcign powers the
strongest assuiuiic.es of iheir desire to maintain
with me the most amicable relations.
The disturbances and insurrections which had,
unfortunately, broken out in Upper and Lower
Canada, have been promptly suppressed, and I
entertain a confident hope that firm and judicious
measures will empower you to restore a constitu
tional form of government, which unhappy events
have competed you fora time to suspend.
I rejoice at the progress which has been made
in my colonial possessions towards the entire ab
olition of negro apprenticeship.
1 have observed with much satisfaction, the
attention which you have bestowed upon the
amendment of Iho domestic institutions of the
country. I trust that the mitigation of the law
of imprisonment for debt will prove at once fa.
vorablo to Iho liberty of my subjects, and sale for
commercial credit; and that the established
church will derive increased strength and eiii.
ciency from the restriction of the granting bene
fices in plurality.
I have fell great pleasure in giving my assent
to the. bill for the relief of the destitute poor in
Ireland. I cherish the expectation that its pro
visions have been so cautiously framed, and, will
bo so prudently executed, that whilst they contri
bute to relievo distress, they will tend to preserve
order, ami to encourage habits of industry and
exertion.
I trust likewise that the act which you have
passed relating to the composition for tithes in
Ireland, will increase the security ol that properly,
and promote internal peace.
(j lnl lent cll oj the j I'j 7/6 e t f J Commons,

which you have made to the income of my belov

The many useful measures which you have

given by a poor woman named Willand, who,
after being nix months in the. Hotel Dieu, was at
the point of death, a commissary of the police
repaired lo the lodging of her husband, a painter
in porcelain, in the rue Popineourt, No. 40. In a
dark closet belonging lo Willand’s lodging, he
discovered rolled tip, rather than stretched, upon
a heap ol damp straw, a young man about ‘JO
years of age, whoso haggard countenance, etna-
Mated and bent body, and almost powerless limbs,
gave proofs ol long suffering, insufficient food,
and conOnucd deprivation of fresh air and exer
cise. from the various admissions of VVdl.tnd,
and flic information collected hy the commissary
ol police from tin; other inmates of the house, it
appears that this unfortunate youth has been kept
a close prisoner, ami subjected to continued ill
ircalmoat since the day of his birth. Ho never
went oil ol his patents’ room, was never soon
by any Imdy, and, in fact, lilsexislenco was never

Encouraged ami stimulated by the kind and
flattering solicitations <>l political Vriaml.-, and an
all-absorbing interest in lliu great question of the
day, Iho nmlersigncd (formerly editors of the. . In
/fin/'i Chranielc,) propose to publish a now pa
per, in Golmubia, mid respectfully submit to tho
cmisidoralion of the public, tin; principles mid
opinions by which it will he governed. Firmly
convinced that the future liberty, happiness, in
dependence and prosper! y of tho .Southern Sullen,
and indeed id the whole Confederacy, are vitally
involved in the momentous question now pend
ing lietWi en a gigantic National liank, and the
constitutional eutrcncy of Iho country, the main
object ol the S. Cauounian will ho to discuss
that question freely and thoroughly; throw all
its lights l.drly mid fully before the people ; etui
shew therefrom, that a National Hank is utterly
unconstitutional and inexpedient, and violently
inimical to free trade and industry, the liberties of
the country, and especially tho trade, commerce,
and prosperity of the Southern Stales—that tlicit
direct import and export trade, once so flourishing,
and conducive to their general wealth and pro—
polity, was destroyed by the overwhelming power
and influence of its capital, aided hy the immense
credit mid resource.! of the < ioveiniucnl, and a
kindred system of pailinl and unconstitutional
legislation—that an employment of tho Stale
Hanks, as fiscal agents of the (Jovermiienl, in any
shape, must ho oven more dangerous and corrupt
ing than a National one. and ncccssaiily produc
tive of tho same effects on our Southern com
merce, since the groat credit and resources of ihc
government would necessarily ho absorbed mid
monopolized by the Northern Banks, and defy
nil chance of fair competition on the part of the
Southern ones, or .Southern merchants—and that
the only effectual and permanent remedy lor those
evils, and flic commercial embarrassments and
distresses of the country, is nn entire Divoncn
es the (jo vitr.n m ms'v J'eom all Hanks, State or
Federal, and return to tho true constitutional enr
icney and system now termed “the Suh-Treasuiy
•System,” ns evidently designed by the framers of
the Constitution, and first in opeialion after its
adoption, till tho combined power id' the Federal
patty, and Hank wealth and aristocracy of the
country, triumphed over the wise and salutary
provisions of that sacred instrument, and the. great
rights and interests of the people if was framed to
protect —that this system is not au “experiment,”
hut an old and safe method successfully practised
fur centuries, by the most enlightened and civilized
nations of the earth, till tho rapidly growing pow
er of the Hanks, (then an •‘experiment,”) enabled
thorn to draw within their control, and wield to
their own individual profit, the immense credit
and finances of (jluvcinine.nl — that, mi far from
increasing the power and patronage of the I’re.-i.
dent, it cannot fail, under any rational or piohahlo
organization of the details, to decrease them, to a
very groat extent ; and while the future interest
and character of its advocates in Congress are
deeply involved in rendering those details ns per
fect ns practicable, and the whole system as sale,
efficient, and salutary as human wisdom and lore
sight can devise, the continual and entire power
over it on the part of Congress, and the people,
(so wholly unlike nn arbitrarily independent Na
tional Hank.) would always afford the opportuni
ty of rectifying whatever might bn found errone
ous and improving upon all that should be bene
ficial-- yea, even of abolishing Hie whole, if it
should disappoint the expectations ol the country ;
thus happily and properly keeping the great mo
ney-power of the Uovernmorit in the hands of the
people and their representatives, instead of madly
and unnecessarily surrendering it into the hands
of a few irresponsible private individuals, to he
directed, wholly beyond all popular or legislative
control, aci ording to their own selfish money-ma
king and power seeking interest-—that instead
of deranging tho currency, it will of all things ten
dor it sell led and stable, and secure from future
‘ experiments,” since it will separate it and its
commercial relations from politics, and deprive
future Presidents of all pnwet of interference with
it; while, from that deeply-rooted hostility to a
National Hunk, which is co-cxtcnsivo with the
Republican parly of the Confederacy, mid, com,
mcricing with tho existence of the present Gov
eminent, must continue in all probability to iis
end, them can be no hope of any organization ol
the cuncncv, by such a Hunk, hut what must he
greatly deranged and broken up, as at present,
whenever the period of its dissolution arrives ; to
say nothing of its being ahuinjn necessarily de
pendent (ti the fortunes and speculations ol pri
vate individuals—that the Hub-Treasury system
docs tint aim at the establishment of “an exclu
sive mo’allic currency,” hut one of only about Ini
millions of gold or.J silver, to about Jour hundred
millions ol Hank paper, since the receipts and
disbursements of the Government will requite on
ly about Ihc former sum, while the Hank paper in
cireula'ion amounts fully to the latter, and prob
ably near one-fourth more—that it will effectual
ly restrain tins alarming and ruinous tendency ol
the Hanks to over issue, constrain (hem to keep
their paper up to die standard value of the specie
currency : insure (heir immense influence every
where in behalf of low Tariff duties, a limited
revenue, and economy in the expenses of the Gov.
eminent/ and thereby completely settle flic Tar
iff and other distracting sectional questions, and
promote the harmony and perpetuity ol the Cniuri
that the principles of this system have formed an
essential portion of those of the Republican or
Slates Rights’ parly, from the adoption of the
Constitution, to the present time—atal that the
present Northern ‘ IVhi o'” party, which is now
laboring for the c.-lahlishmciit of u gigantic', and
overshadowing National Hank, is n-.thing more
I than tho old Federal parly, under a new name;
1 that parly which ha t always struggled against the
rights, welfare, and principles of the South, and
is now a plain and odious combination of Hank
it■ -s, Tunflllcs, National internal Improvement
men, Consoiidatioiiist.-!, Coloi)izatioiii-:ls, and Ab

In guard against those disgusting and degenerate

disgrace and curse of which, this Slate has here*
tulurc heon bo peculiarly, hapjiily, und honorably

Fully cenrutring nml cooperating with (ho
Carolina people, heretofore,in the noble, dignified,
and sell respoctlnl aversion they have manifested
toward engaging in any pattizan contest for Iho
Presidency, the editors will spate no pains to in
eulcale iho propriety id pursuing a similar course
hereafter. i July to their principles, however, will
constrain them lo delerminntcly and uncompro.
mic ingly oppose die pretensions of one of die
P'en'iil candidates however they may he disposed
lo avoid all advocacy, of the other. They can
not hut look upon Air. Cur, both in his princi
pVs and practice, now, and ever since his aband
onment ul the Republican party in 1818, ns the
must deadly, dangerous, and successful enemy of
the South, and Ihe Irue interests of the whole
(confederacy, that enher have ever known. At
die head id the old Federal parly —an open ami
avowed liankite, Tmitlile, Colonizaliunist, and
advocate ol die Proclamation and Force hill, mid
now 100 plainly associated with the infamous
opinions and principles of the Ahulitionisls— his
elevation, as a slave holder, and from a slave Slate,
lo the executive chair ol the Uonfedcracv, would
he one id the most deadly and destructive Mows
to iho South, and I lie stability of the Union, that
could possibly he indicted upon them from any
quarter. IJelween him and his present opponent,
or almost any other, the S. Canon mam could
nut hesitate lo choose for a moment; and if iho
latter, and his parly, shall faithfully and honestly
adhere In the great Republican and Slate Rights
principles and measures lo which they are openly
and thoroughly | lodged, in the lain extraordinary
ami admirable “Address” ol their Congressional
Reprosonlatives, it will bo very lai from desiring
that he should have any other opponent, even it
die present olio were lo withdraw, lie it rc
memhcicd, liuwevi r, that all this is qualified by
an important and the true, and only Hue
course of the Southern Slates and people—no
matter who may lie a candidate—is lo deal with
all men according to their measures—k"cp iho
control of their own inlerc-ts, principles, and
destinies, in (heir own hands—stand aloof from
ail personal contests, or entangling alliances—
and heroine the partisans of no man.
In other respects, it will zealously and une
quivocally advocate, iho doctrines of the Repub

V irginia and Kentucky Resolutions—General
Education, public order, virtue, and morality—
the Union id lint W ales, as established by Iho

nexion with our political ones, a combination, tho
wisest and best, lor the promotion us public liberty,

It will delerniirmtely oppose all intrigue, dc
j ceplion, or indirection, in politics, and advocate
and encourage rigid honesty, ns always the best
I policy -will fearlecsly uphold the > it'll!, even
though in opponents or enemies, nod oppose lb <-

will he governed by “ principles not men”—prin
cipiev being always the object, and men the means
—anil zealously advocate and support all who
support its principles, and oppose all who oppose
diem, no matter who—will desire and encourage
the hiondly advice o!«//; hut submit lo the die •
union id none, and hold its columns always open,
freely urn! cordially, to those who diller from i;—
and, relying on o just appreciation of its motives
ami intentions, .nil fearlessly and unhesitatingly
declare its honest opinions, however unpopular,
on all proper subjects of discussion, and fairly lay
liclure its readers the arguments urged against
them—holding no preference or regard for itd
own opinions, beyond the honest conviction that
they are correct, and being always ready lo sub
mit them to the fullest scrutiny, and abandon and
, oppo-o them as freely as those of others, when
proved lo ho erroneous. Jn short, it will he, it
shall he, a /•'rce Press, thoroughly and unequivo
cally, but yet rationally and temperately; and (in
all that an earnest and . inccto desire, and ellort
may he allowed lo triumph ovi r human weak
ness.) ns fir temoveil fioiii licentiousness, on tho
one hand, us a timid or selfish timeserving sub
serviency on the oilier.
II this bo promising much, it is not without a
deliberate and conscientious determination lo
perform it, come what may; nor is it more than
heretofore performed, as they feel assured his for
nil a- re nleis will readily admit; ami as they havo
had every reason to he satisfied with the results
of such a course, heretofore, they will scarcely bo
likely to deviate from it hereafter. Fully con
scious of their humble capacity, and making no
pretensions to talents or literaly acquirements,
they will spare no di n ts, Li real er, as heretofore,
to make amends, as far as possible, in their own
plain, l imit way, by untiring industry, applies,
lion, zeal, and psraei crunce, and unfaltering faith
in God and a good cause, for the want ofubililcit
more enlarged and powerful, and talents of a
higher and brighter order. Their undivided at ■
million will ho devoted to tho pap-cr, and nothing
will he wanting, that tlnir utmost capacity, laeu

all that they may humbly hope from it them
